"Oh, I can't remember. What were you going to do tonight? I clearly remembered it before, but now I can't remember it." Ikeda Hengxing thought hard for a long time, but finally couldn't remember, so he turned to Sawaki who was aside.
Yoshiyuki, "Topachi, what did Momiji do at night?"
"Uh..." Sawaki Yoshiyuki also hesitated when he heard the words. He also thought for a long time, and suddenly slapped his head suddenly, which shocked Yu Qiuping - he wouldn't remember it, would he?
"I forgot." Ryoyuki Sawaki replied with a sarcastic smile. Yu Qiuping, who was in a false alarm, let out a sigh of relief. Tsuneki Ikeda punched Ryoyuki Sawaki on the head with some disappointment and muttered, "What do you want from me?"
"Use", while Yu Qiuping was dumbfounded - these two guys were drinking, and they had completely forgotten their mission to meet Akechi Mitsuhide.
"Then who is this woman?" Ikeda Hengxing pointed his hand at the shivering Akechi Mitsuhide behind Yu Qiuping, "She is hiding so tightly behind your kid that she doesn't dare to let us see. She must be afraid that her identity will be exposed! Then
He must be some kind of big shot! Hongye, you can do that, but you dared to have an affair with the princess when you were serving the general, and now you are doing something big?"
"You are the one who is having an affair with the princess?" Yu Qiuping was so angry that Ikeda Hexing scolded her, "Can you still say something humane?"
"Wait! I know who that girl should be!" Yoshiyuki Sawaki suddenly raised his hand excitedly, interrupting the exchange between Yu Qiuping and Ikeda Hengxing. Yu Qiuping was stunned when he heard this, and was knocked down together with Akechi Mitsuhide behind him.
I was shocked.
"Is she the young lady of some official family?" What Yoshiyuki Sawaki said next made Yu Qiuping so angry that he almost vomited out his dinner.
"Look, Hongye is angry. She must be a young lady from Gongqing's family! But Hongye is afraid that Princess Maple will know about it, so she doesn't dare to propose marriage, so she has to steal someone outside quietly!" Sawaki Yoshiyuki immediately made up a complete story in his mind, "
It’s hard to come to Kyoto this time, so I can’t let this opportunity pass me by!”
"Fuck you!" Yu Qiuping wanted to slap Sawaki Yoshiyuki against the wall, "Who do you think I am?"
"That's right, how could Hongye be the one who had an affair with Miss Gongqing?" Ikeda Hengxing helped Yu Qiuping from the side. Yu Qiuping glanced at Ikeda Hengxing gratefully, but was almost ignored by Ikeda Hengxing's next words.
Choked to death.
"Based on Hongye's taste, she must be a concubine in the palace, right?"
"Get out of here!" Yu Qiuping shouted angrily at Ikeda Hengxing and Sawaki Yoshiyuki, "Get out of here! Disappear from my eyes! Immediately!"
"Hahahaha..." Ikeda Tsuneaki and Sawaki Yoshiyuki left with a satisfied laugh. These two buddies were quite interesting. After severely damaging Yu Qiupei, they didn't really want to reveal the identity of the woman behind Yu Qiupei.
.
"It's okay, let's go quickly." After seeing Ikeda Hengxing and Sawaki Yoshiyuki walking away, Yu Qiuping turned around in relief. Akechi Mitsuhide quietly raised his head, and Yu Qiuping realized that she had already shyly connected her ears and
His neck was stained with crimson. After looking at Yu Qiuping, Akechi Mitsuhide suddenly reacted and took his hand out of Yu Qiuping's big hand, and then walked quickly towards his mansion without looking back. Yu
Qiu Ping hurriedly chased after her and breathed a sigh of relief after sending her into the house.
·
By the time Yu Qiuping returned to the house, it was almost midnight. He turned the corner and was about to go to the front door to knock on the door. However, he unexpectedly found a familiar yet unfamiliar figure under the lantern at the door of Yu Qiu's house.
He was waiting silently outside the door. Not far behind him, there were more than a dozen followers sitting against the wall, some of whom were already asleep.
Yu Qiuping suddenly stopped and looked at the man from a distance. His figure was slightly fatter than three years ago. He was only in his thirties, but his general belly was already bulging. Through the dim light, Yu could see
Qiu Ping could vaguely see his flickering expression, which was full of sadness and helplessness. He stood motionless at the door for many hours, and he had no intention of leaving now.
Yu Qiuping sighed and said nothing. He turned around and left silently, taking a detour to the back door of Yu Qiu's house. As soon as he entered the back door, he saw Honda Tadakatsu standing by the back door. The latter saw Yu Qiuping.
After arriving, I immediately took a few steps to greet him.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" As soon as Yu Qiuping spoke, he figured out why Honda Tadakatsu didn't sleep. "Is it because of His Highness Tokugawa's affairs?"
"Your Highness... The Lord has humiliated me and died. This is really too humiliating." The dark night made Yu Qiuping unable to see Honda Tadakatsu's expression clearly, but after hearing his voice, Yu Qiuping realized that he was already furious.
It's on the edge.
"The master of the house asked to see His Highness, but His Highness actually refused to see him. The master of the house has been waiting outside until midnight, and His Highness has not wanted to see him yet? This is really humiliating..." Honda Tadakatsu tried hard to choose his words to cover up his feelings for Yu Qiuping.
He was angry, but Yu Qiuping still heard it.
"I don't want to see him, and I don't want to have anything to do with him." Yu Qiuping's voice was equally firm, which made the angry Honda Tadakatsu calm down. "I said I'm not going to see him, so what does it have to do with me if he doesn't leave?"
"Why doesn't His Highness want to see the head of the family..."
"Don't you know? Nanosuke?" Yu Qiuping interrupted Honda Tadakatsu and asked, "Weren't you there at the time? Don't you know what the Tokugawa family did to us? You don't know what he did.
Is it possible for the Red Leaf Army to fight against the main force of the Takeda family in the wild by just watching from the sidelines?"
"But with such an attitude, the master of the house is already apologizing to His Highness. His Highness insists on not meeting..." Honda Tadakatsu wanted to say more, but Yu Qiuping directly waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to continue.
"If he apologizes, can so many dead soldiers be resurrected? If he apologizes, can they come back? If he apologizes, can Longzi come back? I can see her again
Take a look, buy jewelry with her again, wait for her to put a blanket on me, say sorry to her seriously once more, and wrap a scarf for her properly again? Ah? Why don't you answer, Nanosuke?"
The sadness and pain in Yu Qiuping's tone made Honda Tadakatsu not sure how to answer, and how could he not understand how much harm Tokugawa Ieyasu did to Yu Qiuping's family and to Yu Qiuping. After a while, Ben
Duo Zhongsheng suddenly knelt down without saying a word and kowtowed several times towards Yu Qiuping.
"Your Highness, for the sake of serving the public for more than ten years, please go and see the head of the family. I beg you. If this matter is spread, won't the Tokugawa family and the head of the family become the laughing stock of the Wu family?"
Even when Honda Tadakatsu was begging for help, his tone was still so blunt. Yes, this strong man has never given up his dignity to ask for help in his life, right? The last time Yu Qiuping saw him begging so humbly was on the eighteenth day.
Outside the Songping family's mansion years ago, he asked the Songping family not to banish him. At that time, he was just a child. Now that he has made such a statement, how can Yu Qiuping refuse?
Yu Qiuping glanced at Honda Tadakatsu and sighed helplessly. He squatted down, helped Honda Tadakatsu up, and whispered at the same time: "Okay... for your sake, I'll go see him.
Just one side."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Honda Tadakatsu Asaame Qiupei bowed again, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to you."
·
Ame Qiupei walked to the front door and signaled Asahina Taihei and Mori Ranmaru who were on duty to open the door for him. The two were stunned for a moment and immediately followed the order.
After seeing the door open slowly, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was standing at the door, suddenly felt mixed emotions and almost burst into tears from his eyes. The retainers of the Tokugawa family who were sitting and dozing behind him suddenly became energetic and stood up quickly.
Standing behind Tokugawa Ieyasu.
"Red leaves." Tokugawa Ieyasu looked at the man walking out of the door and stepped forward hurriedly to greet him.
"Your Highness Tokugawa is polite." However, Yu Qiuping's words were cold and made Tokugawa Ieyasu's enthusiasm seem extremely embarrassing. Yu Qiuping put his hands behind his back and stood behind the threshold, looking at Tokugawa Ieyasu indifferently. Tokugawa
Ieyasu was stunned when he saw this. He quietly retracted his outstretched hand, tried his best to squeeze out a smile and whispered, "Momiji, long time no see."
"His Royal Highness Tokugawa is here late at night, but do you have something important to discuss?" Yu Qiuping looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu and suddenly felt a little soft-hearted. He had to try hard to maintain his tough tone and asked in a deep voice.
"It's nothing important... It's just... Are you, your son, and your father fine these days?" Tokugawa Ieyasu choked on Yu Qiupei's words and asked in a low voice, somewhat embarrassed.
"Your Highness, Tokugawa Your Highness, will not waste your time." Yu Qiuping slowly turned away, deliberately not looking into Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes. "It's getting late. If Your Highness has nothing important to do, please come back."
Yu Qiuping's cold attitude made Tokugawa Ieyasu at a loss for a while. The followers behind him all understood the entanglement between the two, and they were also embarrassed at this moment. Tokugawa Ieyasu hesitated for a long time, and finally lowered his head suddenly and whispered: "
Zhuo Jing misses Ling Zheng very much... If I am free someday, I will bring Zhuo Jing to visit again..."
"I'll take my leave." Tokugawa Ieyasu bowed deeply to Amakihei, and said softly: "I'm really sorry for what happened before. I also had no choice. As a samurai, you shouldn't have human emotions.
…”
After that, Tokugawa Ieyasu glanced at Yu Qiuping for the last time, turned around and left with his attendants. Yu Qiuping kept his head turned away and did not look at Tokugawa Ieyasu. But when he reached the corner of the street, Yu Qiuping still couldn't help it.
He turned his head and looked in his direction - coincidentally, Tokugawa Ieyasu also turned back to look at Yu Qiupei.
"Your Highness Tokugawa." Yu Qiuping suddenly shouted loudly. Tokugawa Ieyasu's body trembled slightly, and he immediately turned around and said to Yu Qiuping, "Any other instructions for Hongye?"
"I have reminded Ling Zheng and Your Majesty of something before... so that they must take it to heart." Yu Qiuping tried hard to maintain a serious tone and closed his feelings. "It must be."
