"Brother?" Yu Qiuping was stunned when he heard this, "That should be your private matter. You can just report it to the staff and get permission."
"Um..." Fukushima Yasunari was told by Yu Qiupei, and he explained with some embarrassment, "Brother is currently serving in the Hojo family."
"Huh?" Yu Qiuping tilted his head in confusion, "Do you still have a clan brother who serves as an official in the Hojo family? I remember that your family was not a member of the Imagawa family's Fukushima clan before?"
"Your Highness Mingjian." Fukushima Yasunari nodded and said, "Brother is His Highness Hojo Tsunari."
"Hojo Tsusunari? Isn't his surname Hojo?" Yu Qiuping stood up in surprise. This was the majestic Yellow Hachiman, an important minister of the Hojo family who played a great role in the world-famous Kawagoe Night Battle, and the supreme commander of the Hojo Army in this battle.
How could such a person have any connection with Fukushima Yasunari?
"Your Highness, His Highness Hojo Tsusunari was originally named Fukushima Katsuchiyo. His father was Fukushima Masashiro who stood on the side of Genguang Etan during the Hanakura Rebellion. He was also the clan leader and my father's younger brother." Fukushima An
Cheng confided in Yu Qiuping the historical knowledge that Yu Qiuping didn't know, "After the fall of the city, all the adult sons of the Fukushima family were executed. It was only under the desperate protection of the guards that the elder brothers found a way out and defected to Hojo.
family. Later, he married the daughter of the second-generation head of the Hojo family, Hojo Utsuna, and took the title of 'Tsuna', changed his name to Hojo Tsunari, and became a member of the Hojo family."
"It turns out there is still this kind of relationship involved." Yu Qiuping suddenly realized it and couldn't help but sigh, "I've never heard you mention it before."
"I don't want to mention the past." Fukushima Yasunari's expression dimmed. Yu Qiuping knew the tragic experience his family had suffered back then and the lingering regret in Fukushima Yasunari's heart: not cherishing the past.
Relatives. Family love has always been something he regrets. So when his clan brother appeared in front of him, he knew he was an enemy, but he still couldn't resist the urge to see his only relative in the world again.
Yu Qiuping understands his inner struggle, and also knows the feeling that blood is thicker than water. Even though Fukushima Yasunari was still young during the Hanakura Rebellion, and he probably can’t even remember Hojo Tsunari, but this blood relationship
The bond is still hard to break.
"Then go and meet, it'll be okay." Yu Qiuping smiled and patted Fukushima Yasunari on the shoulder, "Go."
"Your Highness." Fukushima Yasunari was startled when he heard this, and he saluted Yuqiu very movedly, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."
"Pay attention to safety, after all, the two armies are hostile." Yu Qiuping warned Fukushima Yasunari a few words, then waved his hand, "Go quickly, don't let your brother wait too long, he is probably old."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Fukushima Yasunari bowed to Yu Qiuping again, and then left quickly.
Fukushima Yasunari rode his horse all the way to the agreed place, and found that there was already a man waiting at the top of the mountain with a torch. The dim firelight was not enough to illuminate the man's face, and the young Fukushima Yasunari had already been waiting for him at the top of the mountain.
I have never remembered Kiyoshi Hojo Tsunari's appearance, let alone the fact that the two have been separated for more than 40 years.
But he still recognized him intuitively at a glance and recognized that he was his brother.
"Brother?" Fukushima Yasunari reined in his horse and tremblingly shouted out this word that he had not said in decades.
"Achiyo?" Hojo Tsunari's voice trembled in the darkness, "
Is it you, An Qianyo?"
"Brother." Upon hearing this, Fukushima Yasunari immediately got off his horse and walked to Hojo Tsunari's horse to salute. Hojo Tsunari also quickly jumped off his horse and helped up his only brother in the world.
"Let me take a good look at what Achiyo looks like." Hojo Tsunari held Fukushima Yasunari's shoulders, looked at the person in front of him over and over again, and finally shook his head and said, "I don't recognize him at all...
It's been more than forty years. When I left, you were only six years old and so tall." Hojo Tsunari gestured at his waist with his hand, "You are now over fifty."
"Brother's body is quite strong." Yasunari Fukushima looked at Hojo Tsunari's face and couldn't help but sigh, "You have passed the age of hearing. Please take care of yourself."
"Oh...if you had come two years earlier, I would have allowed you to meet your nephew Ujishige." Fukushima Yasunari's words seemed to touch Hojo Tsunari's thoughts, "That child had a hard life and left at a young age. What a disaster."
I want the white-haired person to give the black-haired person."
"My condolences, brother." Fukushima Yasunari whispered with great regret. Hojo Tsunari was sad for a while, and then shook his head to get rid of these emotions from his mind.
"How have you been over the past few decades?" Hojo Tsunari patted Fukushima Yasunari's arm and took a half step back to ask.
"Thanks for your concern, brother, everything is well." Fukushima Yasunari mentioned the past and smiled warmly, "I was demoted as a slave and lived a hard life. I am really lucky to meet His Highness Hongye. He is very generous in deployment and loves soldiers like his own son.
. Thinking about it now, I still can’t help but feel scared. Everything I have was given to me by His Highness Hongye. What would my life have been like if I hadn’t met him back then?”
"The reputation of a benevolent man with red autumn leaves has long been heard in the Eastern Kingdom." Hojo Tsunari sighed, "It's a pity that he is the son-in-law of Imagawa Yoshimoto."
Fukushima Yasunari was stunned when he heard this, and then sighed and said, "Brother, are you still unable to let go of what happened back then?"
"How many people in the whole clan have died, how can I spare it?" Hojo Tsunari shook his head vigorously, and said bitterly, "Imagawa Yoshimoto was so cruel and ruthless, and his death and the destruction of his country were considered retribution."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this. We two brothers can still meet again after half a lifetime, so why bother talking about these disappointing things." Hojo Tsunari laughed twice, leaned on the saddle and said, "Just talk about common things, tell me
Talking about your siblings and nephews, I heard that you have many children."
…
Hojo Tsunari and Fukushima Yasunari were chatting, and before they knew it, the sky was getting slightly brighter. Hojo Tsunari glanced at the white fish belly in the east, and sighed with some regret, "It's getting late, and I can't stay here for too long.
I have to go back to the city for a long time. If His Highness Takeda knows that I left the city without permission, he will inevitably be blamed."
"Brother, please go back as soon as possible. All business matters come first." Fukushima Yasunari bowed his hand to Hojo Tsunari.
"I just can't bear to leave, and I don't think we've talked enough." Hojo Tsunari muttered a few times, and reluctantly untied the reins from the tree.
"Next time I have free time, I can chat with my brother." Fukushima Yasunari also reached out to untie his horse.
"Alas -" Hojo Tsunari let go of the reins, opened his arms, looked up to the sky and roared.
"Will there be a next time?" A wry smile appeared on his face, "The last time we said goodbye was for most of my life. This time, I'm afraid I won't see you again in this life.
There will be a chance to meet."
"Brother..." Fukushima Yasunari sighed after hearing this.
At this moment, the sound of horse hoofbeats suddenly came. Hojo Tsunari and Fukushima Yasunari were shocked when they heard the sound.
"It's the horse of the Fuma clan." Hojo Tsunari recognized his ninja after listening for a while, and said in disbelief, "The location of this secret meeting is top secret. I didn't even tell the guards around me how they found out.
?”
"Hurry up." Hojo Tsunari pushed Fukushima Yasunari and pointed to a path going down the mountain to the west, "Go that way."
Just as Fukushima Yasunari was about to ride his horse to escape, Hojo Tsunari frowned again and said in confusion, "Listen to the sound of horse hooves...it seems that there are only two people? What does this mean?"
"Two people?" Just when Fukushima Yasunari was surprised, the figures of two riders appeared in the distance on the slope going up the mountain. When the figures got closer, Fukushima Yasunari realized that one of the two people was a strong man with a green face and fangs.
, the other is an old man with gray beard and hair shaved off.
"Master Fuuma, Master Genan?" Hojo Tsunari was obviously more surprised than Fukushima Yasunari, "Why are you two here? When did you come to Suruga? Aren't you staying in Sagami?"
"Don't be surprised, Your Highness Tsunade, the poor monk is a little more casual." Hojo Genan said in a slow tone, nodding to Hojo Tsunari, and then turned to Fukushima Yasunari and said, "This must be Fukushima-sama, right?"
"
"Are you...His Royal Highness Hojo Genan?" Fukushima Yasunari also learned the identity of Hojo Genan from the conversation between the two.
"Yes, the poor monk has no intention of causing trouble to Fukushima-sama. It is truly a blessing for brothers to meet again. How can the poor monk disturb this fate?" Hojo Genan got off his horse and performed a Buddhist salute towards Fukushima Yasunari.
"Then your Highness..." Fukushima Yasunari looked at Hojo Genan in confusion, "I wonder if your Highness is here, what advice do you have?"
"I would like to ask you a favor, sir." Hojo Genan smiled kindly.
"What?"
After returning to the camp, Fukushima Yasunari found Yu Qiupei and informed Yu Qiupei of Hojo Genan's request.
"Hojo Genan wants to meet me? Tonight, at the place where you have seen him? Does he represent the Hojo family or the Hojo-Takeda coalition?" Yu Qiupei asked Fukushima Yasunari in confusion, "Why?
An explanation? What is the purpose? An armistice? Or what?"
"He didn't say anything." Fukushima Yasunari also shook his head in embarrassment, "He didn't say anything. He just said he wanted to talk to His Highness."
"He is over eighty years old. He took Fuma Kotaro, the leader of the Hojo family ninjas, all the way from Sagami to Suruga, which was surrounded by us from end to end, and then found you all at night, just to bring me a message.
What about the beginning and the end?" Yu Qiuping was angry and funny. He walked slowly in the tent and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Hojo Genan's gourd.
"Why should I see him?" Yu Qiuping slowly stopped and turned his head to look at Fukushima Yasunari, "In your opinion, was there anything noteworthy about his performance at that time? What trump card did he have?
?"
"His palace is very deep, but he looks kind. I can't tell anything." Fukushima Yasunari lowered his head in shame and said, "But he said that if His Highness goes to see him, he will never regret it.
.I don’t even know what it means.”
