"Do you have that ability?" Taiyuan Xuezhai just laughed when he heard this, "Apart from me, who is my teacher in the Imagawa family, who else has this ability?"
"I have also led an army alone on an expedition." Although Imagawa Yoshimoto knew that what Taiyuan Xuezai said was right, he still subconsciously defended it casually.
"When you go on an expedition, the provisions and supplies sent from home are all planned for the master. The warriors have left, and all the disputes at home, large and small, and the commotion in the retainers' territory are also planned for the teacher.
The division is dealing with it. Putting aside these things for the time being, if you are really going out to conquer some territory, then the territory will be received, settled, and truce negotiations with the enemy...can you do it? The division has nothing to do now.
I have enough energy to help you with those things. Can you, Sena, and the kids from Furuno handle it?" Taiyuan Xuezhai coughed violently a few more times as he spoke. Of course Imagawa Yoshimoto knew what he was telling the truth.
"Didn't you just say that you want to train me?" Imagawa Yoshimoto smiled and crossed his legs, "But of course I have to go out for the war. This year, my wife and children are more happy than anything else. It feels like time flies.
Isn’t this much better than the feeling of living like a year when leading an army on an expedition?”
"Of course I want to train you, but I have to wait until my body recovers enough to wipe your butt." Taiyuan Xuezhai took a few deep breaths, and could still hear the hoarse rubbing sound in the trachea, "There
Until now, you better stay calm and work hard on internal affairs first. If there are any things you have forgotten before, take the opportunity to pick them up."
Is there anything you forgot...?
It wasn't until a few months later, when Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was sitting in the castle tower reviewing documents, looked up and found that the maple leaves were already red, that he suddenly remembered what he had forgotten.
October 13, the 15th year of Astronomy (1547), in the maple forest of Imagawakan Kitayama.
Last year, the army went to Luo, fought in Kyoto, returned to Tokaido by sea, and dealt with the invasion of the Oda army as soon as they landed... When Imagawa Yoshimoto finally returned to Imagawakan, he was immediately faced with a mountain of official business.
After coming, Shou Guini also kept urging Imagawa Yoshimoto to handle the family affairs - Taiyuan Xuezhai was not here, but no one could help Imagawa Yoshimoto.
Who would have thought that the Jiajun Allied Forces led by Taiyuan Xuezhai encountered endless troubles at sea, and the time to return home was delayed again and again. Imagawa Yoshimoto was worried on the one hand, and busy with official duties at the other - so much so that he even put himself
I completely forgot about the promise I made with Shuangye: I would go to Beishan to see her several times every year when the maples are red.
So, Imagawa Yoshimoto, who finally remembered the matter, did not delay much and rode towards Imagawadate Kitayama. Although all this was a tragedy composed of mistakes and wishful thinking in his eyes, it was still his own flesh and blood.
Sure enough, even though he had not seen her for two years, when the sound of horse hooves sounded in the maple forest, Imagawa Yoshimoto could still see the figure of the woman waiting under the maple tree at a glance.
The last time he broke an appointment, Shuangye had angrily asked him why he didn't come. But this time, when Shuangye saw Imagawa Yoshimoto, he was not angry at all, and his eyes were filled with calm joy.
"Long time no see." Shuangye said softly.
"Are you waiting every day?" Imagawa Yoshimoto whispered guiltily.
"No, sometimes I'm busy making a living and don't have the time. But when the maple leaves turn red, I come every day."
"Really?" Imagawa Yoshimoto hoped that was not the case, but he knew that the woman in front of him was telling the truth, "I was sorry that I couldn't come last year."
"Is it because I went to Luo? The little girl heard about it. The deputy general of the world is so popular." Shuangye took the initiative to find an excuse for Imagawa Yoshimoto and even teased him.
"Well... no." But Imagawa Yoshimoto did not borrow the donkey, but felt even more guilty because Shuangye took the initiative to make excuses for himself, "I have returned to Imagawa Pavilion a long time ago, but I was busy with work and forgot."
"Ha... As expected, noble people forget things so much that they don't even remember their own daughters." A bitter smile appeared on Shuang Ye's lips, "It's better to say that Your Highness has not come back."
"After all, I don't want to deceive..." Imagawa Yoshimoto sighed deeply, "I have deceived enough..."
"Although Your Highness doesn't think about your daughter, my daughter thinks about you every day." Shuangye did not continue to tease, but gently made an invitation gesture to Imagawa Yoshimoto, "After all, you not only have one daughter, but she only has one."
You are a father."
"Kaede? She remembers me?" Imagawa Yoshimoto was a little surprised. If you don't count the infancy period, he and his illegitimate daughter should have only met once - how could a one or two-year-old child remember someone he had only met?
What about a stranger?
"You'll know it when you see him. That kid is extremely smart."
Shuangye followed Shuangye back to her wooden house in the mountains and forests, opened the door, and found that there was no child. Shuangye was not surprised, and immediately began to rummage through the boxes at home, and after a while, he found a hide-and-seek in a wooden box.
Feng, the cat, was caught. Feng was not angry at all, he just giggled non-stop after being found.
"Stop hiding, you know how to hide and seek all day long." Shuangye smiled and picked up Feng, then turned her little face to the door, "Look who is coming?"
Imagawa Yoshimoto's eyes unconsciously fell on the little girl's face. The delicate and delicate facial features were almost the same as Shuangye, but the mischievous spirit looked exactly like Imagawa Yoshimoto himself.
At the same time, Feng also cast his gaze on Imagawa Yoshimoto. His big eyes suddenly flashed brightly. He opened his small hands and shouted to Imagawa Yoshimoto: "Dad!"
"Ah? I actually remember it." Imagawa Yoshimoto himself was surprised.
"Daddy wants a hug!" Feng squirmed in Shuangye's arms again, trying to get closer to Imagawa Yoshimoto. Shuangye then smiled and sent the child to Imagawa Yoshimoto, who also hugged him.
Nagachiyo picked up Kaede like Osomatsu. Unexpectedly, this little guy was naughty. The first thing he did when he came up was to raise his hand and grab Imagawa Yoshimoto's hair bun.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Ah, it hurts!" Imagawa Yoshimoto was startled by this unexpected sneak attack and almost let go, but Kaede had already lightly lifted his legs hard.
He was sandwiched between Imagawa Yoshimoto and his center of gravity was fixed - let alone, he was probably a good young man practicing martial arts.
"Dad hasn't come to see me all the time. I miss him so much!" Feng complained dissatisfiedly in Yoshimoto Imagawa's ear as he continued to exert his strength. "Mom kept lying to me last year. Every time I said I missed my dad, I wanted to go to him."
, Mom said Dad would come when the maple leaves turn red, but Dad didn’t come either! Mom and Dad are both deceitful liars!"
"How did you learn this word..." Imagawa Yoshimoto begged for mercy, dumbfounded. "Daddy is wrong. Can you let go of daddy's hair? Dad will come to see you often in the future."
After saying this, Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly realized the awkwardness in his heart. On the one hand, he did not agree with Shuangye's self-assertion, and he never mistook Shuangye for his wife or his concubine. But on the other hand, he
On the one hand, the cute child is innocent. He regards Feng as his daughter from the bottom of his heart. Having said that, it is still a bit too scumbag to forget to see his daughter for a whole year. Rather, it is his subconscious.
I am avoiding Shuangye and Maple, because when I think of these things, I feel that I have let down Ginkgo.
But no matter what, the child is not wrong.
Imagawa Yoshimoto sighed.
"It's agreed." Feng twisted her body in Imagawa Yoshimoto's arms and put her little face in front of Imagawa Yoshimoto, "You must come to see me often."
"Yeah." Imagawa Yoshimoto nodded.
After returning home, before it was time to eat, Imagawa Yoshimoto planned to go back to the dormitory to take a rest - Sena and Na Furuno wouldn't blame me if I occasionally lazy for a long time! If it doesn't work, let Hayasaka help them.
When they got to the room and sat down, Miao Xiaomiao and Mo Qiu were playing around, and they would suddenly lick each other's fur and turn their bellies - Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't understand the intimate relationship between cats anyway.
Miaomiao was lying on the edge of the balcony basking in the sun, looking as leisurely as an old man. Ginkgo was rubbing paper balls in his hands and throwing them at Miao Xiaomiao and Moqiu from time to time, making their fight more intense.
Imagawa Goro is also in the house. After more than a year of respite, the battlefield PTSD has subsided a lot. He has finally resumed martial arts practice recently, but he still fishes for three days and sunbathes for two days, and comes back to be lazy every now and then, but the doting Ginkgo
But he never talked about him. If he wanted to play Cuju, he would play Cuju, if he wanted to read calligraphy and painting, he would read calligraphy and painting - regardless of Shouguini's protest.
"You're back." Ginkgo saw Imagawa Yoshimoto coming back, raised her head and greeted him.
"Yeah." Imagawa Yoshimoto felt a little guilty, so he opened the topic naturally and said, "Are you actually awake? Isn't this the time for a nap?"
"It's almost dinner, sir." Ginkgo rolled her eyes at Imagawa Yoshimoto and said, "Although I do like to eat and sleep, but I'm not exaggerating."
"Haha..." Imagawa Yoshimoto smiled.
"I always feel that you are acting weird today." After all, she is still a husband who knows her husband better than her wife. Ginkgo quickly noticed something strange about Yoshimoto Imagawa, and glanced at Yoshimoto Imagawa suspiciously, "Is there someone outside?"
"Haha, you're going crazy trying to fulfill your mother's request, right? You wish someone could give birth to your child." As soon as these words came out, Imagawa Yoshimoto calmed down in an instant, and became even more sophisticated in his pretense of calmness.
"I wish I could." Ginkgo snorted, obviously not taking this topic to heart.
Just when Imagawa Yoshimoto breathed a sigh of relief, Imagawa Goro suddenly interrupted and asked:
"Dad, do you really have no other children outside?"
At that time, Imagawa Yoshimoto wanted to beat his own child, but why didn't he open which pot? He had managed to get through, but this kid was good, he wouldn't stop until he tricked his father to death, right?
