"Nani?" Asahina Taihyung and Sena Toshitoshi were shocked, "Didn't the family governor evacuate Narumi Castle with the Okabe family?" How..."

"Back to the two adults, no." The herald was also taken aback, "The Governor's Hall sent someone to order His Royal Highness to burn the castle and retreat, saying that he has left Narumi City and gone to His Highness Asahina to stabilize the situation in the army!" That's why my Highness burned the food in the castle tower and retreated! ”

"His Royal Highness the Governor has never been here!" Asahinai Taichao's face was pale and bloodless.

"But before His Royal Highness left the city, we had already seen dozens of bannermen from the Jiadu Hall riding out of the city from the West Gate, and the Jiadu Hall must be among them!"

"Those dozens of flagbooks, where are they now! Find them! Sena Shijun said in a loud voice: "You go back immediately, inform His Highness Okabe, and search everywhere for the whereabouts of those dozens of flagbooks!" ”

"Where is His Highness Okabe now?" Yu Qiuping endured the sharp pain in his chest and said strongly.

"Your Highness's troops are in the Great High City." At the critical moment, the people of the Okabe family didn't care about the view of the door, and replied honestly. "Although most of the food has been burned in the castle tower, there is still plenty of food in Odaka Castle."

"Okay, then ask His Highness Okabe to search the area south of Narumi Castle." As the highest-ranking person here, Asahina Taichao ordered, "My Highness and Sena, Your Highness Yuqiu will search for the east of Narumi Castle and try to recapture Narumi Castle. ”

"I don't know where the Governor's Hall is?" Sena Toshi was anxious, "If you withdraw with the rebels, or leave by another way, it will be bad if you get stuck in Narumi Castle." ”

"The top priority now is to find His Royal Highness the Governor first." After the herald of the Okabe family left, Asahinatai gave a deep order, "We will immediately attack Narumi Castle, recapture Narumi Castle, and ensure the safety of the area around Narumi Castle." Then he began to look around for the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Governor. ”

Just as the army drove not far from the outside of Narumi Castle, the Oda army in the city suddenly heard one cheer after another, and the Oda army defending on the city wall also cheered and pushed each other, not knowing what to do.

After a while, I saw several samurai gathered around a flagpole, carried it up to the top of the city, and stood behind the battlements. And above the flagpole, there is a black round object, which seems to be something burnt.

Yu Qiuping's heart sank suddenly, and suddenly, he seemed to understand something.

His eyes were sucked in, and he couldn't take a moment out of the black object on the flagpole. The heart beat suddenly, the eardrums hurt, and the breathing was a little unbearable.

The brain stopped, and all the senses in the five senses, except for the visual accident, disappeared in an instant. He couldn't hear a sound, he couldn't feel the temperature, he couldn't feel the sharp pain in his chest, he couldn't feel like he was on a horse.

Only the eyes kept focusing, focused on the tip of the flagpole. The afterglow suddenly became extremely sharp, and every move around him was taken into view.

He saw several birds flying southeast of Narumi Castle; I saw the flames and smoke still burning in the castle tower dancing in strange shapes under the blowing of the wind. Seeing Shuna and Asahina Taichao in front of him, his mouth opened wide and his eyes were frightened. I saw the shiny spears of the Ashigaru who were in front of the Hina reserve team, reflecting the sunlight. I saw the smoke and dust raised on the official road in the east of Narumi City, the grass next to the official road, and the corpses and bright red blood on the side of the woods on the south side of the official road.

I saw that on the tip of the spear, it seemed to be a charred head.

Seeing Narumi Castle, the mouths of the Oda family ashigaru opened and closed excitedly, and they shouted a few words.

It's just a moment, but it's as long as a century.

After an instant, the shouts of the Oda family's ashigaru people reached their ears.

"Imagawa Osamu is the head!"

After a moment of lucidity, sight and hearing are lost at the same time. All that was left was the touch of the warm liquid at the corners of his mouth, and the darkness in front of him.

In the dark, there seemed to be a few blood-red red leaves, floating in the wind.

"There are some things that I did for the last time before I knew it." Imagawa Yoshimoto shook his head and said, "The six people on the other side are a temporary team at first glance, and it is estimated that they will never meet those six people at the same time again in this life." It was our last game with them. Human life is short, and everything must have a last time. ”

"So, cherish it and enjoy it," Yoshimoto Imagawa said with a smile, "every opportunity to kick Kemari with everyone." ”

"Your Highness, I don't know what else is going on?" Yu Qiuping asked with some confusion.

"In two years, Yuqiu has become a great guy!" Imagawa Yoshimoto smiled with some relief, "Entrusting my daughter to a responsible person like you, Kaede will definitely be happy." ”

"Your Highness... Why do you say this all of a sudden? Yu Qiuping smiled dumbly.

"It's nothing," Imagawa Yoshimoto also smiled, "old, old, sentimental." Once again, at all times, remember to make choices without regrets! ”

This kindness... From the time when I was still a small account, I was optimistic about myself and promoted myself; Give yourself the opportunity to show your abilities, affirm your talents and pursuits, and teach like a teacher; Understand your own ideals and recognize your own value; Melt down your beloved heirloom and forge your own katana; Married the most beautiful girl in the world to himself...

A hearty and enthusiastic uncle when I first met; A handsome uncle with excellent ball skills during the game; He lent himself money without hesitation when he borrowed it, and affirmed his uncle when everyone didn't understand him; Two years ago, in order to save himself, he personally took 200 people to risk the palace of the family governor; Okazaki Castle personally greeted him, personally gave him the horse seal, and gave himself the glory of the palace of the family governor; Follow the good temptation, respect and teach yourself to continue to grow, and respond to the needs of the family governor's hall; allowed himself to associate with Imagawa Kaede, and regardless of the difference in status, he married his daughter to His Royal Highness the Governor; Melt down the heirloom treasure incense burner, build that thousand birds, and give it to His Royal Highness the Governor. His Royal Highness the Governor who understands his ambitions, identifies with his ideals, and affirms his abilities.

Swore allegiance to the Lord for life.

It's gone.

Scenes of getting along in the past appeared in my mind like a marquee, and when I woke up again, Yu Qiuping had already burst into tears unconsciously.

And the entire Narumi Castle was also full of grief-stricken cries.

Naoe Tadahei, who was with him, told him that they were in a samurai house in Narumi Castle.

After Imagawa Yoshimoto's head was picked out just now, Yu Qiuhei vomited blood again outside the city, fainted directly, and was saved by Honda Tadakatsu beside him when he fell off the horse. Although Sena Toshi and Asahina Taichao were also sad and angry, they still stabilized their emotions. They asked a few people to help Yu Qiuping lie down, and called a military doctor to treat Yu Qiuping. The two of them immediately hurriedly sent people to stabilize the morale of the army.

The Oda family seems to have no spare strength because of a hard day's struggle. He didn't go out of the city to meet the attack, but left from the north gate of Narumi Castle and abandoned the city, probably because he was afraid of being surrounded in the city.

As soon as the Oda family left, the Imagawa army entered the castle and began to extinguish the fire in the castle tower. The entire castle tower was filled with flammable materials such as grain and grass, and the fire was very fast. What is even more surprising is that the four gates of the castle tower are actually locked, and only one gate has traces of people entering and leaving. The door on the stairs leading from the first floor to the second floor of the castle tower was also locked.

Inside that gate, the search force found several bodies. The corpse had been burned beyond recognition, its whole body was blackened, and its hands and feet were curled up in a ball. Based on their location, the personnel in charge of the search believe that they may have been trapped in the burning castle tower, and before they died, they were trying to open the locked gates of the castle tower, only to be burned alive after being stunned. Later, the Oda family broke the gate and entered the fire.

And among these corpses, the identities of the four complete corpses can already be identified - they are all the small surnames of Imagawa Yoshimoto. And the headless corpse, although the clothes worn have been burned to a blur, the saber on the waist is faintly recognizable - it is the saber of Imagawa Yoshimoto, Sozo Zuo script.

It was by chance that the people of the Oda family demolished the gate, which had almost burned out, and found the body of Yoshimoto Imagawa. cut off his head and took it to the head of the city.

Sena Toshi and Asahina Taichao, who went to search, lay down on the spot and cried bitterly, almost fainting from crying. The Imagawa army in the whole city was insignificant, and they wept bitterly, falling into chaos and sadness.

After listening to Naoe Tadahei's narration, Yu Qiuping looked at the ceiling and was speechless for a long time.

Just when the people around him were immersed in sadness and were a little distracted for a while. Yu Qiuping suddenly turned over and sat up, pulled out a handful of ribs beside him, and was about to wipe his neck. Naoe Zhongping, who was on the side, was quick in his eyes, and suddenly stretched out his hand to block Yu Qiuping's hand. Honda Tadakatsu, who reacted, clamped Yu Qiuping's arms behind him and pressed him tightly, preventing him from looking for a short time. The surrounding Sanada Masayuki and Amano Keitori also hurriedly took a few steps forward and took the ribs in Yu Qiuping's hands.

"You let me go." Yu Qiuping's voice was lifeless, without the excitement and anger of someone who wanted to see him for a short time. There was a sadness and remorse in his tone that could not melt like ice.

"I made the plan this time. The fiasco of our army, the accidental death of His Royal Highness the Governor, so many soldiers and so many burdens are gone, how should I deal with myself? Yu Qiuping shook his head and said undoubtedly: "Everything is my responsibility, and I can only judge myself to thank His Royal Highness the Governor for his kindness." ”

"Your Highness can't do this!" Sanada Masayuki anxiously persuaded: "Your Highness has a bright future..."

"What's the use? I've killed so many people, what kind of face do I have to go back to Suruga? Yu Qiuping shook his head.

"Your Highness, please think again." Amano Jingde said in a deep voice: "It doesn't have to be like this! ”

"Your Highness... If it weren't for the Governor's Hall to let you retire, nothing would have happened. Honda Tadakatsu also replied in a low voice, "It's not all Your Highness's responsibility. ”

"Don't persuade you." Yu Qiuping shook his head unmoved.

"Doesn't Your Highness think about Her Royal Highness the Princess? Don't you think about the child in the womb of Her Royal Highness the Princess? Naoe Tadahei said anxiously. Thinking of Imagawa Kaede, Yu Qiuping was slightly moved. But, after a moment, there was another long sigh.

"The most shameless thing I've ever seen... It's Feng'er..."Yu Qiuping whimpered and said, "I... Killed his father! I promised her that she would return safely with His Royal Highness the Governor! I..."

How should I face her tears...

"Your Highness, didn't you say that every person born in this world has an incomparably precious life. There is only one life, you can't start over, and when you die, you have nothing? Naoe Tadahei also had tears in his eyes, "How can you commit suicide like this!" ”

"But..."Yu Qiuping's Adam's apple squirmed violently, "I made such a big mistake..."

Suddenly, the door was pulled open. Shuna and Hikina Tai made a big stride in. All three of them were tear-stained and their faces were pale.

"Momiji, don't blame yourself." Sena shook his head, "There's something else going on in this matter! ”
