This Lin Yiqing, Ito Hirofumi has already decided that there must be some kind of connection with Lin Yizhe, and even he thinks that this person and Lin Yizhe are likely to be twin brothers!

In order to confirm the suspicions in his heart, he sent people to Fuzhou many times to investigate, although he never got any definite information, his suspicions have not stopped.

"Mr. Nanzhou, your brother was beheaded by the Qianguo people from the Dao, and you appointed a Qianguo person to join the army, is there anything more absurd than this?" Hirobumi Ito muttered.

In a trance, Ito Hirofumi seemed to hear a voice saying to himself: It is easy to break the mountain and the thief is difficult to break the heart!

Hirobumi Ito's heart suddenly shrank.

If the samurai class is a thief in Saigo Takamori's heart, what is it in his own heart?

For the sake of the great cause of King Qin in his mind, Saigo Takamori can appoint Lin Yiqing, who is also a Qianguo who killed his own brother, as a general, and he is still obsessed with borrowing soldiers and horses from which country for the sake of the great cause of the restoration and the dream of enriching the country and strengthening the army!

Ito sat up abruptly from the couch and clenched his fists.

At this moment, he finally made up his mind.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The warm aquatic plants swayed from side to side in the water, and there was a faint mist in the air slowly drifting, perhaps because the weather was getting hotter, and the smell of the aquatic plants with the water vapor made people drowsy, and only the aquatic plants could be seen dancing wildly in the water. Iwasaki Yuga opened his eyes suddenly, and the early morning light swayed on the green branches on the window, and the soft chirping of birds outside could be heard. Lifting the quilt and getting up dizzily, she walked lightly downstairs. Sure enough, there was fog outside, and the faint smell of water came to my face. Her white feet were on the soft soil, her white pajamas were running quickly, and there was a faint sight of a farmer working in the field, and when she saw her say hello, she walked by unconsciously. There was silence everywhere, no one in sight, she ran quickly, no one was visible in the mist, and the peculiar smell of water slowly steamed upwards in the morning air. Suddenly, an arm wrapped around her. She immediately hugged the warm and powerful embrace, and the two of them immediately kissed frantically and desperately, and their bodies were tightly twisted together like vines in anxiety, and the sweet obsession came again. All at once, the tide flooded. Watery. The soul-destroying kiss, drowned again, and someone patted her on the body. "It's time to get up, miss." ”

Iwasaki Yuka fell asleep deeply, intoxicated by a dream, knowing that when he opened his eyes, he would be a real world in the scorching heat of the day. She closed tighter. When she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn, and she fluttered brightly on her side of the water-red quilt. Sanae saw her red lips and white skin, starry eyes dimly leaning on the back of the peach carved bed, her hair was pulled out of a picture of Luo Yi lightly relieving the spring sleep of a begonia, and urged with a smile: "Get up, my eldest lady, the sun is shining high." The time to eat was better. ”

This time she really woke up, got up and looked out the window, yawned in the cold air and said, "It's foggy, isn't it?" ”

Sanae, who was cleaning up on the side, smiled: "There was a heavy fog in the morning, get up quickly, you got up late today." ”

Iwasaki Yuka stretched his body, but he was still reluctant to get up, although the wound in his abdomen had healed, but sometimes when he moved, there was still a tearing pain.

But today, the wound was no longer painful, but she felt inexplicably tired.

Could it be because of the dream just now?

But who is he?

"If the wound doesn't hurt anymore, get up and take a walk, miss, it's not good to lie down all the time." Sanae said.

Iwasaki Yuka sat in a trance, even she couldn't figure out what was going on in the dream just now, the sun warmly brushed her fishy eyes, she lay back and fell down, this time she was completely asleep again.

It wasn't until noon that she woke up completely. She lay down for a while, and was about to get up, when she saw Sanae walk in with a letter in her hand.

"Miss, yes...... Letter from over there. ”

Probably afraid that someone was spying on them, Sanae whispered, and looked around subconsciously in some panic.

"Show me." Iwasaki said, straightening up from the bed.

This time she was calm, the last time her father's letter from Yataro Iwasaki almost killed her, she had become much stronger than before after returning from the ghost gate.

Sanae stepped forward and handed the letter into her hand, she looked at the blank envelope, although there were no words on it, she could feel the familiar smell coming from the envelope.

The letter must have been written by my father.

What will her father ask her to do this time?

Did you hear that she was rescued by Lin Yiqing after committing suicide, and asked her to seek death again to protect her innocence and family reputation?

Thinking of Lin Yiqing, she had mixed feelings in her heart for a while.

After she came to her senses, Sanae told her how she was rescued, and jokingly said that everyone in the trading company believed that she was related to this General Hayashi. Sanae's words made her feel very annoyed at the time, but when she calmed down, she found that the figure of the person named Lin Yiqing had really been firmly imprinted in the most secret place in her heart with the piano music that made her obsessed.

Is my father's letter at this time related to this person?

Iwasaki Yuka opened the envelope nervously, took out the letter inside, and looked at it.

What surprised her was that her father's letter was not handwritten like the last time, but by telegram.

"Hearing that the 'Fuso' ship was destroyed by the thieves, and many of the officers and soldiers on the ship were captured by the thieves, Yingmi or among them, you can quickly try to rescue you in Osaka, and there are those who have a good impression of you among the thieves, you can use them to save Yingmi from fire and water, and hope to go quickly."

As with the last note, there was no greeting, no warmth, only cold, command-like words.

This is indeed my father's style.

Iwasaki crumpled the envelope and stationery, took out the match, lit the envelope and the letterhead, and threw it into the copper basin next to the bed.

"Miss......" Sanae had a hunch that the contents of the letter would definitely not be a good thing. She was afraid that Iwasaki Yuka would seek death again, so she stared intently at Iwasaki Yuka.

The last time Lin Yiqing said when she was leaving, they still echoed in her ears.

She has no doubt that once Iwasaki Yuka commits suicide, it will be the end of her life.

"Bring me the food, I'm hungry." Yuka Iwasaki said softly.

Sanae was sure that she wouldn't be looking for a short-sighted, so she answered, turned around and hurried away.

Iwasaki Yuka watched the door "bang" and held back the tears in his eyes.

After a while, the door creaked open. Outside, Sanae walked in with a dinner plate and said, "Get up." Miss, it's time to eat! ”

She watched Sanae set up the meal, slowly sat up, and looked at the plate. It's actually a plate of ducks. A bowl of bamboo shoot soup and a bowl of rice. She didn't eat any water for half a day. My stomach is really empty. Immediately she was munching on it. Sanae quietly watched her face on the side, Iwasaki Yuka just buried her head in her mouth and chewed, Sanae saw that her face was expressionless and her whole mind was on eating. Then he quietly turned and walked towards the door.

Suddenly, Yuka Iwasaki said behind her back, "You wait a minute......"

She had to stand. Iwasaki Yuka put down the bamboo chopsticks, looked at Sanae, and said, "Sanae, are you going to tell that Qianguo man about my performance?" ”

Sanae was stunned for a moment and walked over to clean up the dishes.

She was silent for a while, and finally said, "Yes, I'm going to tell him." ”

Iwasaki Yuka said angrily, "You've hurt me." ”

Sanae peeked at Iwasaki Yuka, and seeing that she was just sitting still, she sighed and stepped forward to lean next to Iwasaki.

Iwasaki Yuka turned his face away from her. Sanae sighed and said to herself, "Miss, I know you're angry with me, but you have to listen to me!" ”

For Sanae, Iwasaki Yuka has never been ruthless, so she had to say lightly: "If you have anything to say, just say it!" ”

Sanae lowered her head and said softly, "Miss, Your Excellency General...... It's a nice person, don't you feel it? ”

Iwasaki Yuka suddenly raised her head and glanced at her, but she only said to herself: "Miss, do you remember the day he saved you?" ”

Iwasaki Yuka said, "I remember." ”

"Miss, you were so ruthless to yourself that day, everyone thought you were hopeless, but His Excellency the General first helped you bandage your wounds, and then called a doctor, and then Miss, you bled too much, your life was in danger, and you needed other people's blood supplements, and it was His Excellency the General who took the initiative to transfuse the blood to you, saving your life." Sanae sighed and said, "Miss, isn't such a person a good person?" ”

Iwasaki Yuka listened with a heavy heart, only to hear Sanae say again: "Miss didn't leave with the master, she stepped forward and stayed here to protect all of us, Miss's kindness, we all feel embarrassed." So I and everyone feel that we should do something for you, Miss, in order to repay our gratitude! ”

"Then you're going to tell him everything I do?" Iwasaki Yuka sighed and said.

"If you don't do this, I'm afraid that you will still seek death, Miss, and if Your Excellency General knows that we are not well protected, you will definitely blame everyone!" Sanae said urgently.

After pausing for a while, she said again: "Actually, anyone with a discerning eye can see that His Excellency the General really loves Miss, if he doesn't like Miss, how can he transfuse his own blood to Miss?" And I think, Miss, I also like His Excellency the General, I have seen Miss listen to the General playing the piano, tears and crying for him, besides, the General and Miss are really a natural pair, one is like the mountain god of Mt. Fuji, the other is like the fairy of Lake Biwa, if it is a pity! Miss's suicide that day must have been forced to suffer, and His Excellency the General loves Miss, so he will desperately hold the blade with his hand to prevent Miss from looking for a short view, and also call a doctor to transfuse her own blood for Miss, and must save Miss's life, if Miss really leaves that day, I know that Your Excellency General will be in pain for a lifetime! ”

"Sanae, what are you talking nonsense?" Iwasaki's heart was beating hard for some reason.

"I'm not talking nonsense, miss, you must know it in your heart." Sanae said, "The two of you are really destined, the gods have already set it for you, and you are destined to be together." ”

"How is that possible? He is the great member of the army of thieves (i.e., the chief of staff)! I'm the daughter of the Iwasaki family! There's no way we're going to be together! Yuka Iwasaki interrupted her in despair.

"How is it impossible?" Sanae said urgently, she looked at Iwasaki Yuka. frowned and said: "I don't believe that this battle will continue to be fought, sooner or later it will not be fought, right?" You can't wait, wait for ten or eight years, I don't believe that there is really no peaceful day in this world! ”

Iwasaki Yuka looked up at Sanae's resolute and bright eyes, and smiled bitterly, what a simple sentence, I'm afraid that by that time, she will also be old and her heart will die.

She slowly let herself collapse on the soft bed.

Things are by no means as simple as Sanae can understand as a simple peasant girl, if Sanae was also born in a family like the Iwasaki family. will definitely see the truth of reality more clearly than her current age. As long as she is still a member of the Iwasaki family. Neither of them is impossible!

Now, it was as if she saw her father's stern and cold Tosa face looking down on her from above, pressing down on her like a mountain!

"Sanae, tell Mr. Hirumuma. Prepare the carriage. I'm going to see Your Excellency. "Iwasaki Yuka lay down for a while. After calming down, he sat up and said to Sanae.

Sanae knew she wasn't going to die. Relieved, he walked away quickly, while Iwasaki Yuka got up and came to his closet, opened the cabinet door, took out a set of light and beautiful white silk clothes inside, looked at it, covered the clothes on his chest, and whimpered in a low voice.

After changing his clothes, Iwasaki Yuka went downstairs, and at this time the carriage was ready, Iwasaki Yuka got into the carriage and told the coachman to go to the "Military Mansion" (staff headquarters).

"General, Miss Yuka Iwasaki of Mitsubishi Trading Company said that she has something important to see."

A samurai said to Lin Yiqing, who was busy at his desk.

"Oh, please let her in." Lin Yiqing nodded, put down the pen in his hand, and lay down on the seat.

He had a good impression of the girl he had rescued—on the one hand, he was somewhat attracted by her unusual character, and on the other hand, he was sympathetic to her current situation: the note written by Yataro Iwasaki had made him understand everything.

After a while, Iwasaki Yuka came in with a samurai.

The samurai bowed to Lin Yiqing, then withdrew, and closed the door with his hand, although this was one of his most common movements, but it still made Iwasaki Yuka feel a little uneasy when he was alone.

"It's Miss Iwasaki! You may be seated! Lin Yiqing didn't get up, but pointed to a chair in front of the desk and motioned for Iwasaki Yujia to sit down.

Iwasaki Yuka stepped forward lightly and sat down in front of Lin Yiqing. Lin Yiqing noticed that her outfit today was completely like a Western lady, and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

"How's Iwasaki-san's injury?" Lin Yiqing saw Iwasaki Youjia's cramped and uneasy appearance, looked at her with a smile, and asked kindly.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, General, it has been ...... It doesn't matter, it's just rainy weather, or if you accidentally move too much, it will hurt a little......" Iwasaki Yuka replied softly, her heart was not beating as hard as when she first arrived, and she was surprised that she could relax so quickly in front of him.

"That's right! That means that the wound has not yet fully recovered, you must pay more attention to it, I just happened to have a batch of high-quality ointment from Qianguo, and I will ask someone to bring some to Miss Iwasaki in a while, this ointment is specially used to treat wounds caused by knives and guns, which can not only promote wound healing, but also make the wound calm and not leave a scar. Lin Yiqing said with concern, "Miss Iwasaki must use it on time." ”

"Okay...... Thank you, Your Excellency General......" Iwasaki Yuka blushed and lowered his head again as he spoke, not daring to look at those blazing eyes.

"Miss Iwasaki came to me today, is there something important?" Lin Yiqing saw that Iwasaki Youjia was silent again, and couldn't bear to embarrass her, so he asked.

Iwasaki hesitated for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and raised his head sharply.

"Your Excellency, I have one thing I want to ask of you." She looked at Lin Yiqing fixedly and said.

"Oh, what's the matter? Miss Iwasaki might as well say that as long as it is within my purview and does not interfere with the great cause of King Qin, I will try to help Miss Iwasaki as much as possible. Lin Yiqing nodded and said.

"Your Excellency, my cousin is on the 'Fuso', now his life and death are uncertain, I want to know his whereabouts, if he is alive and captured by your men, I want to beg you to let him go!" Iwasaki Yuka said earnestly.

"Your cousin is on the 'Fuso'? What's his name? Lin Yiqing's heart moved and asked.

"His name is Eiya Iwasaki." Iwasaki Yuka observed Lin Yiqing's expression and found that his expression was very peaceful, not as angry as she imagined, and he felt a little comforted in his heart.

"Eiya Iwasaki, I'll take a look at ......," Lin Yiqing said, stretching out his hand and flipping through the documents on the table, finding a list of what it looked like, and flipping through it.

"Oh, here, Eiya Iwasaki, second lieutenant rank, liaison officer, twenty-four years old." Lin Yiqing put down the form and said to Iwasaki Yuka, "He is still alive and not injured." ”

"That's great!" Iwasaki Yujia looked at Lin Yiqing and said excitedly, "Your Excellency General, can you release him and go home?" ”

"Do you have a good relationship with this cousin of yours?" Lin Yiqing looked at Iwasaki Yujia's excited appearance, and suddenly became mischievous, wanting to tease her, and deliberately asked in a slightly sour tone.

Iwasaki Yujia was shocked, she felt Lin Yiqing's "vinegar intent", and immediately shook her head and said, "No, Your Excellency General, please don't misunderstand!" We...... It's just relatives, they rarely see each other, and they don't have any feelings. (To be continued......)
