The Japanese believe that the human soul rests in the belly. When a samurai wants to show his soul to the outside world, he will commit seppuku. Since the beginning of the source, seppuku has been unique to samurai.
However, after committing seppuku, a samurai would often not die immediately, but would suffer tremendous pain that was unbearable for ordinary people. In order to alleviate the pain, another confidant would usually chop off his head, which was called Jie Cuo.
When Sena Ujitoshi committed seppuku, no one made any mistakes.
He simply dipped his writing brush into the blood that had flowed out after his seppuku, and with trembling strokes on the paper, he wrote down his death advice to Shouguini. The pain involved would be unbearable to others just thinking about it.
, let alone the person who witnessed it. By the time Sena Ujiyoshi sensed something was wrong and rushed into the room, Sena Ujitoshi had already finished writing a few words of advice, packed up the ribs for seppuku, and tremblingly
Place it next to you.
"The blood letter...give it to His Highness Shouguini...the ribs...leave it to Momiji." Sena Shitoshi glanced at Sena Shiyoshi for the last time, and nodded slightly to his panicked son. He struggled not to fall, just to
Tell him his last words to Yu Qiuping.
"Tell the kid that he still has unfinished business to do."
"Those were my father's last words before he died." Sena Ujiyoshi whispered to the tearful Yu Qiuping, "Let me convey it to you." After that, he took the hand stained with red blood.
The white ribs were handed to Yu Qiuping's hands. When Yu Qiuping stretched out his hands, he obviously hadn't come to his senses yet. He didn't even realize that this was a relic of that gentle elder.
The moment the Rib Cha fell on his hand, the cold touch felt as if it was extremely heavy. Yu Qiuping almost couldn't hold the Rib Cha for a moment. Yu Qiuping felt that his internal organs were torn apart at once.
Painful, breathless, tears kept pouring out, and the violent beating of the heart almost shattered the eardrums. The feeling that is difficult to describe in words pulled Yu Qiuping, and he fell all the way into the deepest pain.
Sena Ujitoshi died to advise Shouguini, and the old man agreed.
"Ujitoshi has served the Imagawa family all his life... he has worked hard all his life without any demands or complaints. This is the only request he has made in this life. He sacrificed his life to make the request. It is really difficult for me to refuse." After seeing the blood letter, Shou Guini said,
After being stunned for a long time, I finally uttered these words.
Sena Ujitoshi asked Shouguini to spare Yu Qiupei's life. If he was really worried that Yu Qiupei's power would be difficult to check and balance in the future, he could be exiled. Sena Ujitoshi himself was willing to die to bear the responsibility for Narumi Castle.
The two major responsibilities are the defeat and the provocation of civil war.
I brought that child here, so how could I bear to see him die?
One life for another, it's fair.
Every stroke on the blood letter is filled with love and hope for Yu Qiuping.
If we say that the death of Imagawa Yoshimoto was more like the departure of a mentor to Uakiuhei, the departure of Sena Ujitoshi was as painful as the loss of a father.
"Why..." Yu Qiuping's body trembled uncontrollably as he listened to the story of the Imagawa family's direct samurai. Tears fell on the ribs in his hands, blurring out the blood stains. "Why do you want me to survive..."
"Your Highness Sena..." Yu Qiuping whimpered, "I haven't seen you for the last time..."
"You have your own family, your own territory, your own career, your own life...compared to me, a prisoner with nothing...why on earth would you sacrifice yourself to let me survive..."
Suddenly a sentence flashed through my mind.
"Tell the kid that he still has unfinished business to do."
Is it because of this? Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and his eyes blurred by tears slowly focused on the ribs.
Ribs - things that end life.
End life...end whose life.
The great revenge has not been avenged.
Are you asking me to... take revenge? Revenge, avenge His Highness the Family Governor, avenge hundreds of brothers! Your Highness Sena is afraid that I will die with regrets and injustice, so let me live and understand my hatred with my own hands.
To repay His Majesty the Governor.
Okabe Motonobu, Oda Nobunaga... you took away the lives of my elders and subordinates that I cherish so much, and I will make you pay with blood!
Even if you sacrifice everything... you can't let His Highness Sena die in vain!
Yes, those who cannot give up anything can save nothing.
Yu Qiuping held the ribs in his hands tightly, and the tears stopped at that moment. Instead, there was the fire of revenge burning in his eyes. He carefully hid the ribs in his arms and secretly swore an oath.
This life of mine was originally acquired. The life His Highness Sena exchanged for it was used for revenge.
Oda Nobunaga, Okabe Motobu, sooner or later, I will pierce this rib into your chest with my own hands.
I, Yu Qiuping, do what I say!
On June 26, the Imagawa family announced the final conclusion of this defeat and the civil war.
Sena Ujitoshi and Ame Akihei missed the opportunity during the battle and let go of the Oda family army, resulting in the death of the first family governor in Narumi Castle. Later, the two mistakenly believed that there was a traitor in the family, and usurped the Asahina family and started a war against the Okabe family.
Sena Ujitoshi committed seppuku to apologize for his crime, while Yu Qiupei was chased and released by the Imagawa family and was never allowed to be employed.
In recognition of the Sena clan's hard work and meritorious service, after his seppuku, the Sena clan will no longer be held accountable. The next governor of the Sena clan will be taken over by his younger brother. The Uaki clan was removed from the Imagawa family, and Tokiwa Bei was also dismissed.
Establishment. The Jobanbei staff will not pursue additional pursuits. It is up to them to decide where to go in the future. Those who are willing to follow Yu Qiupei can leave together. The Imagawa family provided them with several merchant ships and left together on July 1st.
He is never allowed to enter the Imagawa family's territory again.
Yu Qiuping originally did not intend for his subordinates to follow him. He was bent on revenge and did not want to drag down so many subordinates because of his mistakes. He ordered Tokiwa Bei that anyone who had already started a family in the local area should not follow him anymore. Many of them
The Ashigaru who joined later were indeed a little shaken. Their ancestors had been Suruga people for generations. They joined Joban Bizen and lived in Suruga for more than ten or twenty years. All their relatives and friends were here. They really wanted to leave.
They were reluctant to part with anything. Under Yu Qiuping's insistence, most of the subordinates who joined later said goodbye to Yu Qiuping with great regret. However, they carefully kept the red leaves that Yu Qiuping awarded them.
However, the 178 surviving slaves among the 232 slaves in Nachitate Castle, without exception, all asked to go with Uakiupei. Their families had originally been sent to Mikawa Chitate Castle and were not in Suruga, so they had no worries. Previously, the Matsudaira family had no worries.
They even sent an envoy to tell Yu Qiuping that although the territory of Zhili City was given to the Songping family, the families of Yu Qiuping's subordinates would never be threatened. When these subordinates were still slaves, the whole family suffered greatly from Yu Qiuping.
Well, Yu Qiuping's concern for them is something that these honest people will never forget. Yu Qiuping led them to conquer the north and south, and won one victory after another. He was an irreplaceable existence in their hearts. They were unwilling to
He left when Yu Qiuping was in trouble and fell into a trough, and was willing to accompany Yu Qiuping on the road to exile. Under the strong insistence of his subordinates, Yu Qiuping had to agree to take them away with him. And those in the territory were served by disabled soldiers.
Most of the judges and craftsmen headed by Lan Xiang Huaju were willing to leave with Yu Qiuping. And Charlie and Amano Jingtoku, needless to say, naturally chose to follow.
To Yu Qiupei's surprise, Sena Ujiyoshi, Sanada Masayuki and Honda Tadakatsu also decided to follow Yu Qiupei - the latter thought they might leave.
"Jia Yan gave you our family's heirloom ribs, which are worth a lot of money! If I don't follow you, I will be in a big loss." Sena Shiyoshi suppressed his tears and whispered. Then he turned his head.
Go, and quickly uttered a sentence with some embarrassment: "Jia Yan would rather die for Hongye. I trust Jia Yan's judgment, so I come to follow you and see why you are worthy of Jia Yan doing so much for you."
"It stands to reason that as a hostage, I should stay in Junfu." Sanada Masayuki explained with a smile, "However, I have already discussed it with His Highness the host, and he sent another person to be a hostage to take my place.
I will be responsible for keeping an eye on you, Your Highness," Sanada Masayuki said with a smile, "His Royal Highness, the owner of the museum, said that you are definitely not a thing in the pool."
"What about Nanosuke?" Yu Qiupei looked at Honda Tadakatsu and sighed, "Now that the Matsudaira family has gained a greater independent status, they are looking for former retainers to regroup. It is a good opportunity for you to go back.
"
"I accept His Highness's kindness." Although Honda Tadakatsu is still a young man, after these two years of experience, his face has become angular, "It's just that His Highness has been very kind to me in the past two years, and I don't want to be in trouble with Your Highness."
It's time to leave. Once His Highness regains his strength and settles down, I will return to the master's house."
"Thank you very much." Yu Qiuping said softly, "Thank you very much."
On June 28, Yu Qiuping was finally allowed to see Imagawa Kaede, who was under house arrest in the castle tower. He had previously learned from Imagawa Kaede's maid, Aling, that although both Imagawa Clan and Shougui Ni had persuaded Imagawa Kaede to stay.
In Junfu, she remarried after giving birth to a child. However, Imagawa Kaede refused extremely firmly, and even went on a hunger strike to protest, determined to accompany Yu Qiuping to be exiled as a princess. Yu Qiuping was deeply moved, and at the same time, his heart became even more intense.
A lot, but it hurts.
Standing at the door of Kaede Imagawa's bedroom, Yu Qiuping was about to go crazy because of the two contradictory emotions in his heart. At this moment, he missed his lover so much, but he had no face to see her. He obviously had the historical knowledge of the time traveler, but he
Still, Imagawa Yoshimoto unfortunately died in battle, and he returned in defeat. Not only did he fail to protect Imagawa Kaede, he even had to rely on Imagawa Kaede to drag his pregnant body through danger, set a trap to capture Okabe Masazuna, and then
Help yourself to recover from your decline.
Having broken my promise, what shame do I have to open this door? To face her...
Yu Qiuping's hand pressed against the door, trembling constantly, but he could not make up his mind to pull it open. He was afraid to face Imagawa Feng's tears, and he was afraid to face her disappointed eyes.
However, the door opened by itself.
A figure suddenly threw herself into his arms, just like the way she looked when she confessed her love in front of red paper leaves. Yu Qiuping subconsciously hugged the person in his arms and felt her hair. He lowered his head to see the smile on the girl's face.
The traces of tears were clearly visible, and his expression was much haggard. He was heartbroken and regretful, and was ready to accept all her censure and abuse.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I broke my promise." He apologized over and over again.
All that was waiting for was this sentence.
"Ping, you are still alive."
She hugged Yu Qiuping tightly. During the two months of separation, she didn't know how much pressure and pain she had endured. How many times she dreamed that he would never come back, and that the fetus in her belly would never come back.
Dad. At this moment, she actually felt that the warmth surrounding her was a little unreal. As soon as she let go, she would leave forever. They had been separated for two months, but it seemed as if they had lasted three lifetimes.
"You're still alive..." She burst into tears and said this with a smile.
Chapter completed!
