On the other side of the shrine, Takenaka Shigeharu was standing by the side of the pillar with his hands behind his back, watching Kentaro Tian Shen preside over the wedding of Yu Qiu Shang and Cha Cha. At this time, a suppressed sound of footsteps came from behind. Takenaka Shigeharu didn't need to look. I also know who is coming.
"Crow." Takenaka Shigeharu asked in a low voice with great rejection, "What's the emergency?"
"If there is no emergency, why don't you come to Takenaka-sama?" Amano Keitoku replied calmly. Such a sarcastic sentence came out of his mouth, but it seemed as if he was really asking this question.
"Is there anything we can talk about between you and me?" In the past 20 years, Takenaka Shigeharu, who has always been gentle and gentle, only had a worse and colder attitude towards Amano Keitoku than anyone else.
"Yes." Amano Keitoku slowly walked to Takenaka Shigeharu's side and stood side by side with the latter. Takenaka Shigeharu noticed that Amano Keitoku's eyes were falling on Yuqiu Shang.
"Is this considered gossip?" Takenaka Shigeharu sneered.
"Private discussions among retainers on issues involving heirs can only be gossip and cannot be official matters." Amano Kyoude folded his hands on the railing and whispered.
"I don't want to discuss it with you." Takenaka Shigeharu shook his head, but did not walk away.
"If Takenaka-sama is unwilling to discuss, just listen. If you want to speak, please interrupt." Amano Keitoku nodded slightly indifferently, while the crow on his shoulder looked at Takenaka Shigeharu.
"I know everything you want to say, and there's no need to discuss it." Takenaka Shigeharu had already coldly refused, "It's been 20 years, haven't you given up yet?"
"I have long since lost my heart, so why should I give up?" Amano Kyoude sighed, and then asked: "Seriously, are you really suitable to be the governor of the house if you just want to be the young master?"
"Suitable." Takenaka Shigeharu whispered without hesitation.
"I'm not asking about being a general, but a family governor." Amano Keitoku repeated his question, and then said coldly, "Even if the young master's martial name is now famous all over the world, it can be compared with Minamoto Yoshitsune and Kiso Yoshi. Naka is evenly matched, but are Minamoto Yoshitsune and Kiso Yoshinaka really qualified family governors? The young master is a sweet-tempered person who values ​​righteousness and is a knight, so he is definitely not the choice of a family governor."
"Is Minamoto Yoritomo, a scheming and scheming man who killed three generations of the Kamakura shogunate without heirs due to his suspicion and indiscriminate killing of relatives of meritorious officials, really a qualified family governor?" Takenaka Shigeharu turned around and looked at Amano Keitoku's somewhat old head. hands.
"There's no point in arguing with me, Mr. Takenaka. You can't help but understand what I'm saying." Amano Keidei sighed again, "Good people can't survive in this era, there are countless conspiracies and tricks. Waiting for him at the front, how can he protect the Yuqiu family in troubled times?"
"Then you think the second young master is fine?" Takenaka Shigeharu gradually moved his gaze upwards from Amano Keitoku's hands.
"The second young master is not good at the moment, he is still far away. But -" Amano Keidei slowed down his speech and emphasized, "but he knows the value of power in the dark. Unlike the young master, the young master is completely disdainful Therefore, he just wants to solve everything with an upright fight. His experience of overcoming his one-armed disability has allowed him to develop this behavior pattern - to overcome all difficulties with hard work. In his eyes, there are some unshakable principles. No matter what difficulties you encounter when adhering to these principles, you can solve them with hard work. However, some things must be solved without bottom lines and principles to be successful."
"Are you thinking of that thing again? Chaos first and then ordering it?" Takenaka Shigeharu sneered a few times, "The position of governor is hell. If you sit there for a long time, your character will inevitably change. If you are willing to fall into darkness, even such a person will
Once the world is unified, troubled times will come back again."
"Didn't you always want to persuade His Highness?" Takenaka Shigeharu interrupted before Amano Keitoku could speak, "His Highness has still adhered to his original intention for 20 years, but the Yuqiu family has been thriving."
"That's because there are crows doing dirty things in the dark. Do you know how many people we have killed over the years?" Amano Jingde's expression changed slightly, "For the safety of the Yuqiu family, we have dirt on our hands.
How much blood. His Highness is no longer the stupid young man he was 20 years ago. He understands the importance of dirty things and he acquiesces to our actions. But the young master is different. He is too clean. When he succeeds to the throne, he may not tolerate crows.
Continue to protect the Yuqiu family in the darkness."
"Are you worried that your status will be insecure?" Takenaka Shigeharu's expression suddenly tightened.
"It has nothing to do with this." Amano Jingtoku shook his head calmly, "But you also know that a family without anyone doing dirty things will not last long. If the young master is not willing to do dirty things, then Yuqiu
The family is in catastrophe. What's more, the young master's willfulness is likely to accelerate the disaster. Do you really trust such a person to inherit the position of family governor? A person who is willing to gamble the fate of the family and the life of the family governor for the sake of women and marriage.
, can he really take the position of family governor? When the time comes, will he bet the fate of the Yuqiu family on some trivial matter?"
Seeing Takenaka Shigeharu's silence, Amano Keitoku glanced at the latter's pale face and continued, "You don't have a few years to live. Judging from your illness, you probably don't have a few years left to live. You are here, Tian
Mr. Shen is here, and there may be someone who can persuade the young master. When you are all gone, who can stop the young master from acting recklessly? Although the second young master is not as good as the young master in military strategy and martial arts, at least he is not willful."
"I will teach him..."
"You can't teach him well." Amano Keitoku interrupted Takenaka Shigeharu, "If that child really changes his stubbornness because of other people's teachings, he won't be able to become as strong a samurai as he is today."
"What do you want to do?" Takenaka Shigeharu turned around and stared into Amano Keide's cloudy eyes.
"I will not disobey His Highness." Amano Keide bowed to Takenaka Shigeharu and said softly, "But for the Yuqiu family, I will do anything. Even if...I have to bet on His Highness's bloodline and my own fate.
.”
"Aren't you afraid that I will report you?" Takenaka Shigeharu's face darkened and he said in a cold voice.
"You are a smart man." Amano Keitoku shook his head, and then looked at Takenaka Shigeharu meaningfully, "Do you understand what I mean?"

After the wedding, Yu Qiu Shang took Chacha to the new house. Yu Qiuping, Imagawa Kaede and Ah Shi saw them off together. However, unlike Ah Shi who was so happy that he cried, Yu Qiuping and Imakawa Kaede were moved by other people in their hearts.
Troubled by the incident. As soon as they returned to the castle tower, the two dismissed the surrounding guards.
"Ping means that Jiayan probably heard your secret?" Imagawa Kaede pursed her lips and frowned.
"Feng'er, do you remember how loud I was when I told you my secret that day?" Yu Qiuping was so anxious that he was spinning around in the room.
"I have no impression." Imagawa Kaede put her hand on her forehead and sat uneasily on the edge of the bed, "But... I remember that the soundproofing of our room was not particularly good..."
"If Your Highness, the Governor, listens with an attitude of listening to the wall, then you must have heard it. But if you just guard the door from a distance, you may not hear clearly." Yu Qiuping sat down next to Imagawa Kaede, and kept wringing his hands.
Hair.
"Wait a minute!" Yu Qiuping suddenly raised his head as if he remembered something, "I still thought it was strange at the time... Before the Battle of Shangluo, His Highness the Governor actually handed over the duties of military execution and commander-in-chief to me, the new man.
Jin retainer. At that time, I always thought that His Highness the Governor valued me, or that he wanted to take the opportunity to give me training in the battle that must be won... Now thinking about it, maybe it was because he already knew that I was a time traveler, so he let me arrange that place.
war?"
"No way..." Imagawa Feng covered her mouth with a complicated look in her eyes, "If Jia Yan really knows... why don't I come and have a showdown with you?"
"I remembered again. His Highness Asahina said before that His Highness Shouguini received information about me from His Highness the Governor of the Household, so he insisted that my future abilities would be limitless and that the Young Master would never be able to suppress him. So in order to prevent me from usurping the House Governor.
, you must get rid of me while she is still there..." Yu Qiuping murmured the message Asahina Taichao gave when we met at the temple that day, "So...could it be that His Highness the Governor really knows that I am?
The secret of the time traveler, and then told His Highness Shou Guini? His Highness Shou Guini was frightened by my life experience, so he wanted to get rid of me? "
"It doesn't make sense..." Imagawa Feng shook his head after hearing this, "If Jia Yan really heard our conversation that day, wouldn't he also know the future history? Didn't he also know that he would be in danger in the Battle of Shangluo?
?If this is the case, Jia Yan must have been on guard, so how could he encounter an accident?"
"That battle must have been a betrayal by a traitor, so it was hard to guard against. But what is the truth?" Yu Qiuping pursed his lips and clenched his hands into fists, "But here, we can't deduce anything out of thin air."
"Can you find Okabe Motobu and ask? Where is he now?" Imagawa Kaede suddenly came up with an idea.
"In the Takeda family, the Lord of the Suruga Koten Divine Castle." Yu Qiuping clearly remembered the enemy's information, "There is no way to ask unless we destroy the Takeda family."
"The Oda Hall will not let go of the Takeda family in the end, right?" Imagawa Kaede suggested again, "When the time comes to conquer the Takeda, Taira, you can find a way to participate in it. If you can capture Okabe Motobu, can't you ask him?
"
"Even if we ask, how can he tell us the truth?" Yu Qiuping shook his head, then stood up again and walked around the house with a confused mind, "Compared to this, I think I should go to Kyoto.
, meet the young master and His Highness Asahina who are staying there. I was in a hurry last time and didn’t ask many questions, but this time I must ask clearly.”
"When is the departure date? I will go with you." Imagawa Kaede nodded.
"Let's celebrate the New Year in a few days. Your lord will go to Kyoto to meet the emperor during the New Year. We will go to Kyoto as a reason to wish your lord a new year and meet them on the way. Otherwise, in our capacity, we will make a special trip to meet the Imagawa family.
