September 27, inside the Sunpu Castle Castle Tower.
Winter is coming soon, and residents inside and outside Sunfu Castle are beginning to dress up in winter attire. However, this also means that Yu Qiupei and Sena Ujitoshi must speed up the settlement of autumn accounts. This is really not a simple matter.
Live. Yu Qiuping has to face a mountain of accounts every day. Unfortunately, these accounts are still confidential documents and cannot find anyone to help.
After work, the only leisure pleasure I had was meeting Kaede Imagawa unexpectedly in the castle tower.
The castle tower has five floors in total. Yu Qiupei's residence is on the fourth floor, and Imagawa Kaede's boudoir is on the fifth floor. Whenever Yu Qiupei goes to Imagawa Yoshimoto's room on the fifth floor to ask for instructions and reports, he always deliberately walks along the farthest side.
Go down the stairs because you can pass by Imagawa Kaede's boudoir. Imagawa Kaede will always quietly leave the door a crack. When she hears the familiar footsteps coming from the corridor, she will open the door beside her.
The maid and maid got up and went out as if nothing had happened.
After Yu Qiuping heard the sound of people getting up in the boudoir, he quietly slowed down. Sure enough, a moment later, the door was pushed open, and what came into view was the girl's flowery smile. She was wearing a sky blue Zhenhaori and
Wearing white jodhpurs, her waist-length hair was tied into a ponytail.
Imagawa Kaede and Yu Qiuping looked at each other and smiled. They couldn't communicate too much. After all, there were many servants and guards in the corridor of the castle tower. The moment the two passed by, Imagawa Kaede suddenly quickly stuffed it into Yu Qiuping's hand.
After picking up a small paper ball, Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, walked down the stairs quickly, returned to the office, turned his back to Sena Shitoshi, and carefully opened the paper ball.
On the paper ball, there was a line written in small regular script: "Go to the back mountain for a picnic at 4:00 noon. I have prepared all the food."
Yu Qiuping looked happy and snickered, but when he saw Sena Shijun's tired expression, he couldn't bear it. He knew that Sena Shijun was also a good man, and he would definitely approve it if he asked for leave.
.
"It's better to stay up late tonight to make up for today's intake." Yu Qiuping thought to himself.
Before lunch, Yu Qiuping left Sunfu Castle on horseback and headed straight for the back mountain. When he saw the beautiful figure of the girl in the paper maple forest, the guilt and fatigue in his heart immediately disappeared. Imagawa Kaede took the horse
Tied to a tree not far away, she was bending over, arranging the picnic mat spread out on the ground. There was a large basket next to the mat, and there was a creek not far away. Her hair was flowing down
The neck is hanging down, swaying gently in the breeze, which is particularly touching.
Hearing Yu Qiuping's footsteps, Imagawa Feng raised his head and smiled sweetly, "Ping, you're here."
"Why are you always so punctual?" Kaede Imagawa looked up at the position of the sun, "I'm late, I haven't finished preparing yet."
"Of course you can't be late for the promised time." Yu Qiuping also tied the reins to the tree, "Feng'er, why are you late?"
"Why do you call it again!" Imagawa Kaede complained, "Okay...it has indeed happened many times."
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Imagawa Kaede stuck out her tongue, "I took a nap and then overslept."
"Haha, it's okay. It's good for girls' skin to sleep more." Yu Qiuping said with a smile, "No wonder Feng'er's skin is so good!" Yu Qiuping said as he walked over to Imagawa Kaede with a smirk and moved the bent Imagawa Kaede.
He picked her up and gently stroked her face, "It turns out it's because she sleeps in late every day!"
"It's those fallacies again." Imagawa Feng muttered and pushed Yu Qiuping away, "Okay, you're ready." She bowed and said, "Ping-kun, please sit down first."
"How dare you?" Yu Qiuping smiled again and made a "please" gesture, "Your Highness, sit down first."
The picnic was simple but delicious, with fresh sashimi, a small pot of miso soup and a few rice balls. The rice balls were made by Imagawa Kaede herself. Although Imagawa Kaede has never learned cooking skills well, the rice balls she made were very attractive.
The taste is not that good. But boys in love never care much about taste. Eating something that a girl made for him for the first time, Yu Qiuping felt that his whole heart was filled with sweetness, and he kept eating it.
Praising how delicious it is. Imagawa Kaede sips the miso soup and covers her mouth with her sleeves while drinking the soup. Yu Qiuping has never been able to imitate this elegant etiquette.
After the meal, Yu Qiuping and Imagawa Kaede nestled under the maple tree, chatting without a word. Later, they simply closed their eyes and took a nap under the tree, but they both felt very happy. The embarrassment caused by silence only exists in unfamiliar places.
When people fully understand each other and rely on each other under the paper red leaves that symbolize love, silence is just an environment for love to settle.
Suddenly, Yu Qiuping noticed that his stallion seemed to be circling around Imagawa Kaede's snow-white mare. It snorted from time to time, trying to attract the mare's attention.
"Hey, look at my horse," Yu Qiuping's arms around Imakawa Kaede shook slightly. Imakawa Kaede, who closed his eyes to rest, blinked and was amused by the scene in front of him.
"Oh! I almost forgot!" Imagawa Kaede stood up suddenly and walked towards her horse. She took off another bag from the side of the saddle, took out two wooden samurai swords, and waved them gently at Yu Qiuping.
, smiled evilly.
"Feng'er...what are you..." Yu Qiuping was confused.
"Little girl, remember, when the little girl mentioned before that Master Yuqiu's skills were not as good as the little girl, the general did not believe it." Imagawa Kaede deliberately used humility and honorifics and said sarcastically, "I hope that you will not hesitate to teach me today."
"This..." Yu Qiuping felt a little embarrassed for a moment. Although men in love also don't care about face, it would be a bit too timid to just give in like this, so he planned to find an excuse to push him away, "You didn't wear protective gear, you were injured.
What should I do?"
"Don't worry, sir." Imagawa Kaede said with a smile, "My lord's skills are beyond comparison with that of a little girl."
Being so slighted, Yu Qiuping still felt a little embarrassed on his face, so he stood up and patted the dust on his clothes, put on a great look, reached out and took the wooden knife, "Your Highness, don't regret it." He pretended.
Said with enthusiasm.
"Okay." Imagawa Feng didn't say much. He jumped forward with a sword step, raised his hand and stabbed straight at Yu Qiuping's door. Yu Qiuping saw that the sword was coming with such ferocity that even a wooden sword was estimated to be powerful.
About to hit someone to death, he stepped back in panic, dodged like he was playing dodgeball in his previous life, and let the general pass the blow. Unexpectedly, Imagawa Kaede's skills were light and strong, and his right foot touched the ground without stopping.
Rotating, like a dancing elf, he struck with another horizontal blow. Yu Qiuping asked himself that he didn't have the ability to lean back like Hina Taehyung, so he had to squat down with his head in his hands. The "whooshing" wind above his head scared him enough.
Before he could react, Imagawa Kaede struck again without a smile on his face. Yu Qiuping rolled and crawled on the ground and ran backwards. The wind brought by the wooden knife blew onto his face, which frightened Yu Qiuping.
One jump.
Next, Imagawa Kaede's moves were so fierce that Yu Qiuping was so frightened that he didn't even dare to block. He kept running back and was forced to the edge of the stream.
"Ah." Imagawa Kaede looked at Yu Qiuping's embarrassed look, laughed so much that he bent over, imitating Yu Qiuping's tone and said sarcastically, "You are not wearing protective gear, what should you do if you are injured?"
Yu Qiuping suddenly had an idea, and quietly stretched the wooden knife into the creek next to him, and said with a wicked smile, "Don't be proud!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Qiuping gave a strong force, and the water splashed up by the wooden knife rushed towards him.
Imakawa Kaede's cheek. Imagawa Kaede was caught off guard, Yu Qiuping rushed forward quickly, and struck down with great force. Imagawa Kaede had to raise his knife to block, but in terms of strength alone, how could a girl be like Yu Qiuping?
Compared with a strong man? The knife in Imagawa Kaede's hand was directly chopped to the ground by Yu Qiuping.
"Hehe!" Yu Qiuping looked at Kaede Imagawa without his weapon and laughed, "How is it, Your Highness! You didn't expect it, did you?"
"Sneak attacks are not what heroes do!" Imagawa Kaede complained dissatisfiedly, "Of course you have to use a knife to test sword skills! How can you have a water fight!"
"That's not true! Being surprised and concealing one's unpreparedness is the secret of the art of war!" Yu Qiuping said proudly, raising the knife in his hand, "A sword show does not necessarily require the use of a knife!"
"That's what you said." Imagawa Feng sneered. Taking advantage of the moment when Yu Qiuping raised the knife, she suddenly jumped to Yu Qiuping's side. In the flash of lightning, she held Yu Qiuping's neck with one hand and moved her from the other hand.
He held Yu Qiuping's waist at the back, stood still with his left foot, and kicked Yu Qiuping's calf with his right foot. He exerted force clockwise with both hands at the same time. Yu Qiuping's whole figure was suddenly overturned in the air and turned half way like a windmill.
After making a circle, he fell heavily to the ground with his feet in the air, and the wooden knife also fell into Imagawa Kaede's hand.
When Yu Qiu regained his composure and struggled to open his eyes, he saw the girl's cheek close at hand, which was flushed and sweaty due to the violent exercise just now. The chest part of her shirt was already wet with water.
It stuck tightly to the body, outlining the graceful outline of the girl's chest. Imagawa Kaede panted slightly, and the orchid breath she exhaled carried a faint fragrance. And the wooden knife was also placed on Yu Qiuping's neck.
"Surprise conceals one's unpreparedness," Imagawa Kaede winked mischievously, "This is what Ping-kun said, little girl has learned a lesson."
However, Qiuping did not respond when he saw Yu, but just looked at himself blankly. Imagawa Kaede's face turned red and he said angrily, "Ping, what are you looking at!"
Yuqiu calmed down and realized his tense. He was a little incoherent for a moment, "Um...I'm looking at...that..."
Imagawa Kaede turned her face away to prevent Yu Qiuping from seeing the smile on her face, and then turned back seriously, "Usually our Imagawa family will hold a martial arts competition at the end of the year. Ping, you have the official position of serving the general, you must
I’m going to participate. Practice hard these days, but don’t embarrass yourself.”
