At noon on June 25, Yu Qiuping was escorted back to Sunfu. The army was disbanded on the spot, and Yu Qiuping was taken to the dungeon of Sunfu Castle and imprisoned, waiting to go to the execution ground in the east of Sunfu Castle tomorrow morning.
After nightfall, Yu Qiuping learned from the prison guard that the survivors of Tokiwabei were not subjected to too much trouble and were confined to a military camp in the south of the city. And Imagawa Kaede, who was originally staying at the castle tower, heard about the treatment of Yu Qiuping.
After the verdict, he fainted immediately. He finally woke up in the evening, but because he lost control of his emotions, he burst into tears and refused to eat anything. He kept asking to see Shouguini, but was stopped in the room by the guards.
Yu Qiuping felt heartbroken as she listened, but she could do nothing. I hope she still remembers the agreement between us. It was the agreement we made after we woke up after our first intimate encounter.
"No." Yu Qiuping suddenly refused. He turned around, put his hands on Imagawa Feng's shoulders, stared at her, and said solemnly: "I want you to make an agreement with me, right here in the maple leaf forest.
I swear by the red leaves."
"No matter which one of us encounters misfortune, the other must live resolutely and never die for love." Yu Qiuping looked directly into Imagawa Kaede's eyes, "Because as long as we are alive, we can still think of the other person's appearance.
I think of every bit of the past and how beautiful this world once was."
"For another person to see the world that he has not been able to see, experience the life that he has not been able to experience, and complete the ideal that he has not been able to complete."
Maple, live well.
It's a pity that I won't be able to see you again before I die. I'm sorry.
The dungeon is clean and tidy, with a layer of tatami mats on the floor and a small desk, which is very comfortable. It seems that the people who can be locked up here are all big shots, and the guards don't dare to neglect them. Otherwise, what happens?
One day when the criminals come out and gain power, these guards will definitely feel better.
However, Yu Qiuping is definitely not the type who can go out and gain power one day. Tomorrow morning - or should I say this morning? Yu Qiuping can't remember the time. Anyway, by that time, he will be executed.
Execution? The threat of death brought fear and shock to Yu Qiuping, but it was not as great as he imagined. He thought that he would be as panicked as he was when he faced death for the first time in the village two years ago. But he didn't.
Thinking that he was so calm this time, he lay silently on the tatami, looking at the cold moonlight outside through a small window that was open in the dungeon.
What will happen to people after death? Is there really a paradise, or is there really nothing after death?
In other words, is it really true that I came to this world? Could it be that everything was a dream? After waking up from the dream, I was lying on a comfortable bed at home, waiting for my mother's delicious breakfast. Or should I say
, although I don’t know what kind of wonderful mechanism brought me here, but as long as I die, I can return to the original world?
"Why am I thinking about this all of a sudden?" Yu Qiuping came back to his senses and suddenly laughed at himself, clearly not thinking about this issue for two years.
Maybe death is imminent, and there is nothing that can be done. I can only place my hope in the so-called God to bring me to a new life? Yu Qiuping vaguely remembered that in "Anna Karenina"
, the brother of the male protagonist Levin, also before the end of his life, suddenly became superstitious about God, which he had never believed in before. When he read this, he could not understand it, but now he understands the profound meaning.
If you return to that world, you must cherish the time you spend with your parents! You must treat your friends around you well and study hard! By the way, you must read the history of Japan to see if it has changed because of your own appearance.
!If it is really a dream, you should write down the content of the dream immediately after waking up, otherwise it will be easy to forget.
Easy to forget…
Will I really forget this world? Will I also forget that beloved girl? Will I forget all the good times and sweet moments together, the love and touch in my heart?
Even just thinking about such a possibility, Yu Qiuping immediately felt a chill all over his body. He sat up suddenly, gasping for air, trying not to think about them.
"Am I scared?" Yu Qiuping whispered in disbelief, "Is this the so-called... thing that is more frightening than death?"
After Yu Qiuping came back to his senses, he looked out the window again. The moonlight gradually faded away. It was replaced by the hazy halo in the early morning. He only had a few hours left in his life.
Sena Shitoshi, dressed in white, knelt silently in the center of the quiet room. An oil lamp was placed in each of the four corners of the quiet room. The flames flickered on and off, bringing some light to the dark room.
The verdict against Yu Qiuping has been handed down for several days. In these days, Sena Shijun has been living in a state of confusion.
He is already over forty, which is considered quite young in this era. He is accustomed to the ups and downs of the world, and he can already face life and death calmly - his most beloved family governor just passed away just a month ago.
Did he leave suddenly?
Now, that young man named Yu Qiuping will pass away soon. But he can't let go no matter what.
He still vaguely remembered the way they met for the first time at the banquet in Hima Castle two years ago. This young man, with his charming temperament and conversation, immediately attracted Sena Ujitoshi's attention. A down-and-out Watari
Although he was a commoner, he had an attitude that was neither flattering nor arrogant, and a profound knowledge that was not consistent with his age, which really impressed Sena Shitoshi. But at that time, Sena Shitoshi's impression of Yu Qiupei was only
The stage of "amazing young people".
What really made Sena Shitoshi look at Yu Qiuping with admiration was Yu Qiuping's rescue of the more than two hundred slaves in Chili City. A small accountant was willing to spend all his savings to give money to more than two hundred slaves who had never met him before.
Sending warmth to the poor man's home. The beautiful kindness from the heart and the character of doing what he said made Toshi Sena realize that this boy was not simple. Maybe there was something special about him.
place.
In the autumn of that year, Sena Ujitoshi was ordered to rush to Mikawa to stabilize the situation. On the way to gather the troops, Amakihei happened to be pulled into the team as a retainer of the Asahina family. Although he did not have extraordinary commanding ability,
His grasp of the battlefield is far from genius, yet he volunteered to go to the dangerous Tomato at the evaluation meeting - just for his promise, to deliver family letters to the hands of more than two hundred slaves. Sena Ujitoshi
Although I didn't express it clearly at that moment, I was truly moved by his kindness and faith. Everything after that seemed to fall into place.
The young man made great achievements and was bestowed with unparalleled grace. Immediately afterwards, he showed extraordinary talent in military training. And he, after Sena Ujitoshi privately discussed with Imagawa Yoshimoto, was transferred to Sena
He is a subordinate of Shijun. He admires Yu Qiuping very much and wants to cultivate this young man well. His feelings for Yu Qiuping are even similar to those of his own children. He watched Yu Qiuping grow from a stupid young man who has no interest in politics.
As an important minister in the family; watching a military rookie finally be able to formulate an action plan for the entire army; watching a young man who was once so afraid of death that he could not hold a knife dare to risk his life for the people and his companions; watching lovers finally get married, and the young man also
Eventually he became the mainstay of the next generation of the Imagawa family.
Seeing that kindness blooming into beautiful flowers in midsummer, I felt extremely happy and emotional at that moment.
We are about to see the moment when Nara flowers fall.
"Good boy." Sena Shijun smiled bitterly and whispered to himself. He slowly spread out the paper in front of him. He wanted to study the ink, but he put down his hand.
"Is my time almost up?" Yu Qiuping let out a long sigh and lay down on the straw. The beautiful figure of Kaede Imagawa appeared in front of his eyes. Then, he thought of many, many Kondo Yasuzo who died fighting for himself.
, Mizuhara Atomira, and Kobayakawa Yachinchi help them; the always smiling, unserious but very loyal elder brother Asahina Taiheng; Imagawa Yoshimoto, who is kind to me, his boss and confidant; caring and nurturing like a father
Himself, Sena Ujitoshi who single-handedly brought him to where he is today; Thompson Charlie, who has always been unsociable and immersed in his own archery skills; he walked out of the darkness with a bright heart and vowed to follow him all his life.
His own Naoe Tadayei; Amano Keitoku who has a sullen face and always uses the darkest thoughts to speculate on others and protects himself; Itami Yasukiyo who sincerely desires to calm down the sea; and Fukushima Yasunari, who is burdened with a heavy past and is humble and kind.
; Nakahide Omaezaki, who has a playful smile and is foul-mouthed; Katsumasa Yoshioka, who has the loudest voice but no brains; Yutō Ogawa, who talks about drinking all day long and is more drunk than when he is sober; Nobuchi, the big-sexy Onikanoyama, the good old man Kohata
Jiesheng; always looks like a serious scholar, and always talks about the word "worthy"; his sworn brother Asai Nagamasa, who is always full of passion and fights for his ideals and beliefs; and Asahina Yasuhiro
Maeda Toshiie is almost carved out of the same mold; Matsushita Karin, a peerless wise man who upholds the bright principles of justice; Sena Uji, who is as stingy as an iron rooster; Imamiya Rakusada, who is warm and hospitable; Sanada Masayuki, the future outward appearance;
There is also Matsudaira Motoyasu, who fights with forbearance and conspiracy, but values friendship in his heart... There are also many, many people, and many, many memories left in this world, playing in front of our eyes like a revolving lantern.
All of this came to an abrupt end when the dungeon door was knocked. This may have been my last hope. Yu Qiuping slowly stood up and listened to the sound of the key unlocking. After a while, the iron door creaked.
The ground pushed away.
However, the ones who opened the door were not the jailers and executioners that Yu Qiupei imagined. Instead, they were the red-eyed and haggard-looking Sena Ujiyoshi and three Hatamoto samurai from the Imagawa family.
"Ieyan committed hara-kiri." Sena Shiyoshi could only say this short sentence.
