After carrying the drunken Maeda Toshiie back to his house, Osomatsu immediately came up to him with great apologies and helped Maeda Toshiie back to rest. The other maids except A Suzu all lived in other dormitories, and only A
Suzu still stayed at Maeda Toshiie's house to take care of Imagawa Kaede.
"Is Feng'er still sleeping?" Yu Qiuping asked A Ling who was washing towels.
"Probably." A Ling nodded.
Yu Qiuping pushed the door open and went in. He saw Imagawa Kaede sleeping peacefully on the tatami, with a slight smile on his lips, and the depressed mood just now faded a little. He quietly changed his clothes, for fear of
He woke up the sleeping princess.
However, it was obvious that his movements were still a little too big. Imagawa Kaede seemed to hear the noise beside her, frowned slightly, and woke up from her dream with a murmur.
"You're back?" Imagawa Kaede asked softly, "How is it?"
"Well, everyone is very enthusiastic towards me and they are all very good people." Yu Qiuping laughed and lay down next to her.
Imagawa Kaede was stunned for a moment, frowned and thought for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Ping, you seem to be troubled?"
"Uh..." Yu Qiuping muttered, but he didn't expect that his thoughts would be seen through at once. However, he didn't know where to start from the conflict in his heart. He wanted to rebel and assassinate Oda Nobunaga to give him the gift of peace.
Imagawa Yoshimoto takes revenge. Because his attitude towards the Oda family is very delicate, he doesn't know how to treat his friends who sincerely care for him.
But how can I tell Imakawa Kaede about this now? She is still pregnant with the child, so if she knows about this, she will definitely be worried about herself every day.
Forget it, Yu Qiuping sighed and changed the question: "I'm coming to Oda's house...will Feng'er blame me?"
"Huh?" Imagawa Kaede was stunned for a moment, "Are you worried about this?"
Yu Qiuping nodded silently, looking away from Imagawa Feng's eyes.
Imagawa Kaede looked at Yu Qiuping's side face, pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's okay... At the beginning, it was indeed a bit disappointing. But at that time, I was even more grateful that you could come back safely, and that we could be together again.
I didn't pay much attention to it." She paused, "Later, I gradually looked away and didn't think much about it... After all, according to the history of your previous life, the Oda family finally unified the entire Kinki, right? Standing on
On the side of the winner, everyone who follows you can also live a peaceful life, and no longer have to face displacement and separation of flesh and blood..."
Yu Qiuping's heart skipped a beat... But if he wanted revenge... he wouldn't have followed this history. Is Imagawa Kaede willing to see that day?
Also...I haven't paid close attention to Imagawa Kaede some time ago. There were so many fluctuations in her heart that I didn't notice. It was really irresponsible...
"If Ping is worried that I will blame you, why did you go to the enemy who killed your father, and why didn't you avenge Jia Yan..." Imagawa Kaede hesitated for a moment, then continued: "I believe that if you are still in the Imagawa family, you will definitely do it.
You are working tirelessly, I also understand your feelings for Ia Yan. But the Imagawa family decided to chase you away... and put all the responsibility for Narumi City on you, making you suffer injustice... This is the Imagawa family's first apology to Ping,
I can’t blame you..."
"No matter what, this is your choice," Imagawa Feng saw that the atmosphere was a little heavy, so he changed his tone to a slightly cheerful one, opened his hands, put his arms around Yu Qiuping's neck, and rested his head on his arm.
Wan Li said, "I believe you, as long as you don't regret it."
No regrets...is this a regret-free choice?
Suddenly, Imagawa Kaede was hugged tightly by Yu Qiuping, making her almost breathless. She seemed to vaguely feel that cold tears were rolling down her cheeks. She was stunned for a moment, and slowly
He patted Yu Qiuping's back slowly, humming a ditty softly like he was comforting a baby.
"..." Yu Qiupei sobbed, thinking of the true love and sincerity shown to him by Maeda Toshiie and others, of Oda Nobunaga's trust in him and his thirst for talents, and of Imagawa Yoshimoto's kindness to him, and his hands couldn't help but
He held the rib in his arms.
"Will I regret it?"

After a sleepless night, the next day, Yu Qiuping was called to his residence in Qingzhou City by Lin Xiuzhen, saying that he was going to assign Yu Qiuping the next task.
"My lord has gone to Ikoma's dormitory," Lin Xiuzhen smiled kindly and explained the reason why Oda Nobunaga did not come in person. After seeing Yu Qiuping's confused eyes, Lin Xiuzhen coughed slightly and said with a smile: "Ikoma
Madam has never been taken to live in the castle tower of Qingzhou Castle."
Oh! This may be the 7-year-old Ikoma Yoshino of Oda Nobunaga whom Maeda Toshiie and Ikeda Tsuneaki talked about. I didn’t expect Oda Nobunaga to be so energetic. He was still having a meeting in Qingzhou City before nightfall yesterday.
He actually went directly to Ikoma's dormitory at night?
"No more gossip," Lin Xiuzhen naturally skipped the embarrassing topic, "I called you here this time to tell you roughly what you need to do in the next period of time. These are the things that my lord last night
It’s all arranged.”
"Your Highness Lin, please give me your instructions." Yu Qiuping said respectfully.
"The days of autumn harvest have basically passed, so there is no need for Your Highness Yu Qiu to rush to the territory." Lin Xiuzhen said while looking at Yu Qiuping's expression with her peripheral vision, "My lord is expected to set off for Sanhe in October. By then Yu Qiu will
His Highness will lead the troops to act together and serve as the guide of our army."
Yu Qiuping suddenly felt a mixture of emotions in his heart, and felt some indescribable anguish. Being used as a guide to lead the Oda family to attack Mikawa - no matter how you look at it, it feels a bit like a traitor in his previous life.
"I heard that many of the family members of His Highness Yuqiu Tokiwabei are still in Zhili City?" Lin Xiuzhen cast her doubtful eyes on Yu Qiuping, who nodded. "That's just right," Lin Xiuzhen said with a kind smile, "
The lord’s good intentions must be to allow His Highness Yuqiu to receive his family members before heading to the territory together.”
"Thank you, Lord, and His Highness Lin." Yu Qiuping said gratefully, "I will definitely dedicate my loyalty to the Oda family."
"But, if we attack Sanhe, will His Highness Yuqiu's family be threatened?" Lin Xiuzhen asked worriedly.
"Probably not. Your Highness Songping is an upright person." Yu Qiuping thought for a moment, nodded and said, "You wouldn't do such a villainous thing."
After Yu Qiuping stood up and left, Lin Xiuzhen called several of his attendants.
"Well... you go and give this to the lord." Lin Xiuzhen handed the attendant a scroll, and then added with a smile: "If the lord gets up."
"May I ask, Your Highness, what is in this?" The attendant seemed to be a close confidant of Lin Xiuzhen, and there was no hesitation in speaking.
"This is the arrangement I made for His Highness Yuqiu. Please report it to the lord." Lin Xiuzhen put her hands behind her back, stood up slowly, raised her eyebrows, and signaled everyone around her to leave.
"Before the Battle of Tongzhajian, what happened to the remaining two people that you were asked to monitor?" Lin Xiuzhen changed from her previous kindness, her face became extremely serious, and she whispered.
"No, they both seemed very satisfied with the reward and did not show any abnormality." The attendant lowered his voice and replied.
Lin Xiuzhen frowned, and the hands behind her back trembled slightly. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Go down."

The following days were considered peaceful for Yu Qiuping. He did not receive a new assignment, nor did he have to attend any major evaluation meeting. Instead, he could start to settle his own affairs. Tokiwa Prei was still stationed in Qingzhou
In the castle town, grain and grass are directly supplied from the granary of the Oda family. Now Kaede Imagawa's health is gradually improving under the care of Osomatsu and her maids, which makes Yu Qiupei breathe a sigh of relief. However, there are also worries. Nobuyuki Anayama
Because he couldn't bear the loneliness, he went to the Whale House in Qingzhou Castle Town to have a good time and drink. As a result, he didn't have enough money for prostitution, so he was detained on the spot. It was Yu Qiupei and Maeda Toshiie who brought the money to redeem him.
Lan Xiang Huaju and his craftsmen also had their hands full and opened a blacksmith shop in the castle town to help the common people with repairs. Naturally, their craftsmanship was impeccable, but this robbed many local craftsmen of their work.
In terms of craftsmanship, the two sides even had a dispute with the public security department.
Tokiwabei's training is still continuing, but the intensity is not too high. Yu Qiupei now realizes that high-intensity training requires a large supply of food. In the past, at Imagawa's house, Imagawa Yoshimoto always opened the back door to deliver supplies to him.
With no worries about food and clothing, the team naturally trains hard every day. However, when they arrive at the Oda family, the food and grass supply can ensure that they are not hungry, and the high-intensity training every day is really too much. Yu Qiuping is a little worried that in the long run, Tokiwa Bei's combat effectiveness
Whether it will decrease, but there is no good solution for the time being.
Yu Qiuping will basically be dragged out by Maeda Toshiie every day. As long as Maeda Toshiie is not on duty, he will definitely not be able to stay idle. Either he will find his buddies from the mother-in-law group and Ikeda Tsuneko to drink together, or everyone will go together.
Traveling around the mountains and rivers is somewhat fun. Yu Qiuping also took the time to visit Mori Katsunari and Niwa Nagahide twice to thank them for their help.
After a long time, the days seemed to become dull again. However, the last time I lived such a leisurely and comfortable time was at Imagawa's house.
What brought surprises to Yu Qiuping's life were two letters from good friends. One was from Matsushita Qingluan, and the other was from Asai Nagamasa. The senders of both letters had suffered a lot because they
When the letter was delivered, Yu Qiupei was still at the Imagawa family! They came all the way across the Owari Mikawa River to Sunfu Castle, but were told that Yu Qiupei had been exiled. The two unlucky guys happened to be chatting in a tavern on their way back together.
They got up, surprised by their fate, and went to Owari to find Yu Qiupei.
Both letters were written after the defeat of Uakihira Uakihama. Asai Nagamasa first expressed regret and regret for the death of Imagawa Harube, and then comforted his sworn brother Yuakihira, telling him not to be discouraged and blame himself.
, cheer up, and work together for justice in the world. Matsushita Qingluan's letter was written after hearing that Yu Qiuping's good deeds under Yinma City actually led to the collapse of the entire army. The letter pointed out Yu Qiuping's military deployment and response.
There were several shortcomings, but at the end of the letter, he expressed his appreciation and touch for Yu Qiuping's behavior, and hoped that Yu Qiuping could stick to his light and justice.
Yu Qiuping did not go out with Maeda Toshiie that afternoon. Instead, he sat at the desk and read these two letters over and over again.
At that time, the three of them made an appointment together to practice light and righteousness, use kindness and justice to rectify the world, and end the cycle of chaos. The two are still the same as before, but they have changed.
Maybe I am really too young. Why didn’t the ancients use the methods I can think of? Really capable people understand that you cannot conquer the world by relying on so-called goodwill and benevolence, and it will only bring trouble to countless people who follow you.
, people who trust themselves.
However, when Yu Qiuping read these two letters over and over again, and saw the power and belief reflected in the words leaping on the paper, he couldn't help but feel excited. That was also the dream I once had!
This is also a promise I have made to countless people!
Chapter completed!
