Yu Qiuping had to admit that he actually had a vague premonition about Imagawa Kaede's answer.
He wanted to tell Kaede Imagawa his plan countless times, but he couldn't bear to speak because he was worried about such things.
This independent girl has such a strong personality. She is by no means a weak woman who surrenders to fate and follows her husband all her life. When her sweetheart does something that goes against her beliefs, she will make changes without hesitation. Yu Qiuping understands,
Because she did this ten years ago.
But after actually hearing this answer with his own ears, it still made him feel as desperate as when they broke up in the garden of Sunfu Castle on that rainy day almost ten years ago.
"Feng'er, are you even going to leave me?" Yu Qiuping asked in a low voice with some disbelief, "Are you kidding me? Are you talking angrily? Right?"
"Yeah." Imagawa Feng was stunned when he heard this and nodded slightly. But her reaction made Yu Qiuping panic even more.
"Even if we quarrel, we will definitely make up, right?" Yu Qiuping, like a naive child, tried to confirm something through verbal words, "We quarreled so much before and were separated for so long. In the end,
You’re still back, right?”
"Yes." Imagawa Kaede still just nodded, but his eyes gradually filled with tears.
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Imagawa Kaede finally said the words that Yu Qiuping was most afraid of hearing, "I meant those words just now."
"How is that possible, Feng'er?" Yu Qiuping suddenly panicked and hurriedly forced a smile to try to save the atmosphere. He didn't care about the five grown men around him, and actually said some disgusting words: "We are all together for almost ten years.
Years have passed. We love each other so much, how could we be separated because of something like this! Besides, if you leave, where will you go? What will happen to our children!"
"During the Warring States Period, for ordinary samurai families, divorce was a normal thing. You don't need to make a fuss." Imagawa Kaede smiled and whispered in a nonchalant tone.
"But we are not an ordinary samurai family!" Yu Qiuping put his hands on Imagawa Kaede's shoulders, stared into her eyes and said: "We are different from those political marriages, and I am not one of those ordinary samurai!"
Imagawa Kaede was stunned when she heard this. She was stunned for a moment and said nothing. After a long time, she sighed and buried her face in the shadow, with tears continuously falling down her face.
"I also thought that you were different from those cold-blooded warriors. I also thought that our marriage would be different from political marriages. I also thought that I would have a different fate from those hard-working women." Imagawa Kaede
He shook his head helplessly, "But in the end, what you did made me very sad."
"There are so many women from the Warring States Period, but I have never heard of them getting divorced because their husbands rebelled!" Yu Qiuping, furious, actually said loudly in a somewhat stern tone: "Why are you so willful, Feng'er! Besides, I'm doing this for you.
Father’s revenge!”
"Because I am different from other women, I am who I am! I will not fall in love with such a cold-blooded samurai! A samurai who kills so many of his good brothers! A samurai who involves the people in the war for his own purposes! Nor will I.
Let yourself live for others and be someone else's red leaf for the rest of your life!" Imagawa Kaede shouted at Yu Qiuping without fear: "Don't you already know this! This is the kind of woman I am!"
"I will go back to Imagawa's house, back to Junfu." Before Yu Qiuping could organize his words, Imagawa Kaede had already said quickly: "As for the child... I will take Shang'er away. Anyway, for your sake,
Personal hatred can bring tens of thousands of people into the flames of war. In the eyes of a calm and snobbish person like you, a one-armed child may not be able to be a house governor! Isn't that what you thought at the time!"
"I didn't! I'm not!" Yu Qiuping shouted almost hysterically, "You don't understand me at all!"
However, Imagawa Kaede ignored him and just said to himself: "You're here with You'er. I won't kill you. But I will take Cen'er away, and..."
Speaking of this, Imagawa Feng was suddenly stunned, and Yu Qiuping was also stunned.
And the unborn child in my belly.
Is it just due to tacit understanding or some other reason, the two of them stopped suddenly, breathing rapidly, and looked at each other with complicated eyes. Imagawa Kaede's chest was rising and falling, as if his heart would jump out at any time.
"Feng'er." It was Yu Qiuping who spoke first and broke the silence. He had calmed down and pleaded in a low voice with a somewhat sad tone: "Didn't we promise that we would be each other's red leaves and accompany each other for life and death? You
How can you break your promise?"
"Ping, you are the one who broke your promise, right?" Imagawa Kaede suddenly spoke, but his tone seemed a little sad, "Who promised me that they would do their best to save the people of the world? And what are you doing now? You can't even save your own life.
If my good brothers are all killed, how can I expect you to save the people again? Don't you always keep your word? How can you break your promise?"
"But I can't live without you!" Yu Qiuping's tears suddenly welled up in his eyes, and he cried and begged: "What should I do if you are no longer here?"
"I'm just a woman." Imagawa Kaede shook her head, her eyes moving, revealing unspeakable sadness, "You can even give up the most important thing in your life, let alone me?"
Yu Qiuping was speechless for a moment.
"Do you still remember the day when you first told me about your ambition in life?" At this point, Imagawa Kaede suddenly smiled. She raised her head slightly, as if she was recalling some beautiful memory, "Then
It must have been ten years ago. We went on an adventure in the mountains together. I don’t remember why we brought up this topic, but that’s what you said at the time.”
·
"Although, for a person like me who has no power and no great ability, I would be a little arrogant to say such things to you," Yu Qiuping solemnly looked at the tearful girl, "but I am willing to promise you,
I promise to all the families in the world who are experiencing misfortune. I, Yu Qiuping, will definitely do my best to save them so that they don’t have to go through life and death again.”
"I, Yu Qiuping, do what I say."
·
Kaede Imagawa recited Yu Qiuping's words, tears still flowing uncontrollably. "To tell you the truth, I might have just had some affection for you before. It was after you said these words that I really fell in love with you and felt that you
You are an amazing person. Because your life is different from the lives of those warriors. They spend their lives pursuing fame and fortune and regard the people as nothing but trivial matters. But you, on the other hand, regard the people of the world as your top priority and try your best to save them."
"If you are no longer such a kind person, if you give up your ambitions, what is the difference between you and ordinary warriors? What is the difference between you and so many ignorant warriors in the world? The reason why there are so many brothers following you
You, even the reason why Lord Naoe, Lord Sena, Lord Amano, Lord Sanada, and Lord Takenaka are willing to follow you, isn't it because you are a good person? If you yourself have changed and given up on your original ideal, what will your life be like?
What’s the point of life?”
Imagawa Kaede's words caused the other five people present to fall into deep thought for a moment. However, Yu Qiuping suddenly smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly.
"Feng'er, my life no longer belongs to me, Yu Qiuping. I can no longer live selfishly for my own ideals..."
·
Yu Qiuping's words made everyone stunned for a moment, not understanding what Yu Qiuping was talking about.
The latter didn't say anything more, but quietly took out the ribs from his arms - the ribs he had been carrying close to his body for seven years - a relic of Sena Ujitoshi.
"My life was bought by His Highness Sena with his own life." As soon as Yu Qiuping opened his mouth, tears leaked out of his mouth, and Sena's Jun's voice and smile instantly appeared in front of his eyes, "Your Highness Sena originally
I can live a good life...but in order to let me survive, he used this rib to commit seppuku."
Everyone present knew more or less about this matter and didn't say much. Sena Jiyoshinori lowered his head suddenly, and it could be seen that he was also very sad.
"I know what His Highness Sena is thinking..." Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly, "His Highness, he has been telling me not to blame myself for the death of His Highness the Governor. He is worried that if I die like this, even if I go to another world
, the heart will also be tortured by regret and remorse, and will not be able to live."
"So His Highness Sena exchanged his life for mine. He asked Jihei to bring me the ribs, and also told me that I still have unfinished business to do." Yu Qiuping stared.
On the rib in my hand, the blood stains that had been stained on it seemed to be vaguely visible. "I know what the unfinished business of His Highness Sena wants me to do - that is revenge, to avenge His Highness the Governor of the Household. Kill him.
Oda Nobunaga, destroyed the Oda family to redeem the self-blame and regret in my heart, and to comfort the souls of His Highness Sena and His Highness the Governor."
Yu Qiuping raised the ribs high, held the handle of the ribs with his right hand, and looked around at everyone present. At this moment, the expressions of Imagawa Kaede and Takenaka Shigeharu were a little moved, and they were no longer as disappointed and angry as before.
.
"So I said, my life is no longer mine, it was bought by His Highness Sena. If I can't live up to His Highness Sena's last wish, how should I face him? How can I be like him?
To live like a normal person and be the same bad good person as before? How disappointed would His Highness Sena be if he saw me like this! His Highness Sena sacrificed his life to exchange me for revenge and salvation, right?
The one that allows me to face the late family governor calmly in the future under Jiuquan! It is not the one that allows me to live a peaceful life!"
After Yu Qiuping said these words, he exerted force with his right hand, trying to pull out the ribs, and pulled out the ribs that had not been pulled out for seven years, in order to strengthen his determination to commit rebellion and revenge - in Zhuzhong just now
Under the persuasion of Shigeharu and Imagawa Kaede, he was already a little shaken. In his heart, he was still the good guy who came from time-travel and wanted to save all the people in the world.
But His Highness Sena risked his life in exchange for your return, not to let you do this!
Yu Qiuping pulled hard, and the rib was finally pulled out. However, at the moment when the rib was pulled out, what he saw was not a sharp blade, but a piece of white silk slowly falling down.
It was originally wrapped around the blade, and was brought out with the blade when it was pulled out - no wonder the rib was so difficult to pull out, it turned out that there was such a piece of silk stuffed between the rib and the scabbard.
But why did Your Highness Sena wrap such a piece of silk around the ribs where he committed seppuku and stuff it back into the scabbard?
This thought flashed through Yu Qiuping's mind, and the hand holding the blade subconsciously twisted to catch the slowly falling silk.
It was not pure white silk, it had other colors on it.
Yu Qiuping took a closer look.
On the white silk, there are dark brown writings - that is the color of blood after it has dried.
This is…
"His Majesty Sena's words."
