Volume 6 Recruiting people to hear the Luocheng flute, Chapter 813, Unsolved Cases
"What do you mean, my lord?" Oda Nobunaga's words made Yu Qiuping tremble.
"No matter how magnificent the city wall is, it is vulnerable to gunpowder. In other words, wouldn't it be easy for someone to capture Azuchi Castle?" Oda Nobunaga burst out laughing, "Then tell me, what exactly is Azuchi Castle?
What's the use? What's the use of old things in the face of new things? In the future, there will probably be no more cities. Instead, they will probably be trenches and mounds of earth."
"Lord, you are joking." Yu Qiuping expressed disbelief, but in his heart he was surprised by Oda Nobunaga's foresight.
"Whether it's a joke or not, we can't see it anyway. Let's leave it to future generations to comment." Oda Nobunaga shook his head and had no intention of arguing with Yu Qiuping.
"My lord called me here so late at night just to ask me what's going on at Ishiyama Gobo?" Seeing that Oda Nobunaga had stopped speaking, Yu Qiupei asked tentatively.
"Yes, it's okay." Oda Nobunaga stood up from the snow leisurely, patted the snow on his butt, and smiled at Yu Qiuping, "You can go back."
"No..." Yu Qiuping held his forehead deeply when he heard this, dumbfounded, "Is this really the reason?"
"Isn't this important?" Oda Nobunaga grabbed Yu Qiuping from the ground, "If your kid knows onmyoji, how can I be on guard? If your kid has some powerful gunpowder in his hand, I
Can't you be more careful?"
"Well... are you going back first?" Yu Qiuping tilted his head in disbelief.
"Why, you still want to stay with Yu?" Oda Nobunaga glared at Yu Qiuping, and then smiled, "Yu doesn't have two beauties in the world to warm your bed. You kid, you are so lucky!
"
"Ah?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a long time before he realized that the other beauty Oda Nobunaga was referring to was Aichi - Aichi also came to Kyoto with them. He hurriedly defended: "What are you talking about, Your Highness?"
?The city princess and I are innocent."
"You know in your heart whether you are innocent or not. Treat Sister Yu well. After Asai Nagamasa died, she has been a widow for so many years. Bring Aichi to visit Yu here tomorrow." Oda Nobunaga did not talk to Yu.
Qiuping's nonsense didn't even give the confused Yu Qiuping a chance to explain, and even dragged him out of the mansion.
"But my lord, I plan to visit His Highness Imagawa tomorrow." Yu Qiupei stood at the door and shouted to Oda Nobunaga through the temple wall.
"So you kid didn't come to Kyoto specifically to see Yu, but to see your old master?" Oda Nobunaga's angry shout also came from the wall, "Get it done quickly, and then come to Yu's place.
"
·
Early the next morning, Yu Qiupei was afraid of keeping Oda Nobunaga waiting, so he set out early in the morning to go to Xiangguo Temple to find Imagawa Clan. Since they were in Kyoto, Yu Qiupei and his wife could not walk around the streets with a large group of guards.
Alley, they set off with only Honda Tadakatsu and Asahina Taihei, two old members of the Imagawa family. When they arrived at Sokokuji Temple, both Imagawa Uzuma and Asahina Taito were having breakfast, and they obviously did not expect Amakihei to come so early.
.
When Asahina Taichao heard that Yu Qiupei and the others were coming, he put down his bowls and chopsticks and came to the door to greet them.
"Momiji, Your Highness the Princess." Asahina Yasuo greeted the two of them using the old etiquette, and Ame Qiupei and Imagawa Kaede also smiled in return.
"Momiji, have you had breakfast?" Asahina Tai asked as he led the two of them inside.
"I've used it." Yu Qiuping followed Asahina Taichao's footsteps, "I came too early. I'm sorry for disturbing you."
"No problem, no problem, I'm looking forward to your coming." The face of the samurai who once had a resolute face no longer had the murderous spirit, but looked at Yu Qiuping and Imagawa Kaede with glowing eyes, and the ones who followed them.
Behind them is Asahina Yahei.
However, just after Yu Qiupei said "used", Asahina Taihei's stomach suddenly growled. Yu Qiupei turned his head and glared at Asahina Taihei, and asked with a smile: "Who said you were full just now?
With?"
"I wasn't hungry just now, but I'm hungry now." Asahina Taihei put his hands on his hips, with a matter-of-fact expression, and looked very much like Asahina Taihei. Asahina Taihei looked at his nephew, his eyes were slightly red, and he stopped Asahina without regard for etiquette.
Taiping put his shoulder and pulled him into the walkway, "Then nephew, let's have something here. The breakfast at Xiangguo Temple is quite good."
"Hey, okay, thank you, uncle." Asahina Taihei's little mouth was smeared with honey, and he called "uncle", which made Asahina Taihei smile happily. Imagawa Kaede looked at the two of them getting along harmoniously, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.
The shallow smile, that side face was so beautiful that it made people throb. Yu Qiuping also put his arms around Imagawa Kaede's shoulders and sniffed her hair.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Imagawa Feng was suddenly hugged by Yu Qiuping, with a blush on his cheeks, trying to push Yu Qiuping away.
"Why, they can hug me, but I can't?" Yu Qiupei pursed his lips towards Asahina Taichao and Asahina Taihei, then increased the strength of his arms and hugged Imagawa Kaede into his arms.
"Someone is watching, how can it be inappropriate?" Imagawa Kaede still resisted and scolded.
"Everyone is in front, no one can see us." Yu Qiuping glanced at Asahina Taichao who was walking in front of them, Asahina Taihei and the two servants who were leading the way.
"Lord Honda is still behind." Imagawa Kaede pursed her lips and glanced at Honda Tadakatsu behind him. He was walking a few steps away, his face still without a trace of emotion, as if he was indifferent to everything in front of him.
.
"Nanosuke doesn't care about this." Yuqiu laughed twice, kissed Imakawa Kaede's delicate ear gently, and looked at Imagawa Kaede's shy and annoyed look with satisfaction.
At this moment, the door in front of the corridor was suddenly opened, and Imagawa walked out quickly. Yu Qiuping and Imagawa Kaede were like a mouse meeting a cat, and they separated quickly as if a child had done something wrong.
After the two people moved away, they realized that it was no longer twenty years ago - when they were secretly intimate, they would rush out of the way when they heard footsteps and saw an acquaintance, let alone as a young master.
The Imagawa family is real. Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and smiled.
"Young Master." "Brother." Yu Qiuping and Imakawa Kaede bowed to Imakawa Shima, and the latter respectfully returned the bow with the etiquette for a superior person, without any lack of etiquette.
"Your Highness Hongye, Maple Leaf Mountain Palace." Mr. Imagawa bowed to the two of them, and then made a "please" gesture, welcoming Yu Qiupei and Imagawa Kaede into the house. The decoration in the room was very simple, and Mr. Imagawa
The luxurious decoration in Junfu in those days is completely different, but it does have the feel of being built in an academy.
On the small table, there is the breakfast that Imagawa Ujima and Asahina Taimo have not finished yet. I have to say that the chefs in Kyoto are really good at work, and a few simple side dishes are cooked very appetizingly.
Ame Qiupei looked at the devouring Asahina Taihei, and suddenly felt a little worried - what if Oda Nobunaga had a whim and paid a private visit to Kyoto incognito and killed the cook who did not add miso to the meal?
The culinary scene in Kyoto will also be destroyed.
"Brother, Your Highness Asahina, this is a gift for you." Imagawa Kaede took the gift box that had been prepared from Honda Tadakatsu and handed it to Asahina Yasuo's hand. Asahina Yasichun glanced at it.
, and found that it was filled with local products from Suruga - brought back by the Mitsubishi caravan after they opened up the Dongguo trade route.
"Your Highness the Princess is interested." Asahina Taichao glanced at Imagawa Kaede with some emotion, sighed and said, "The former Lord will be pleased to see the happiness of His Highness the Princess and His Highness Momiji in the sky."
"Speaking of which, I came here to ask about His Highness the Governor." Asahina Taichao brought up the topic, and Yu Qiuping naturally picked up the topic, "The thing I heard half of His Highness Asahina talking about last time: His Highness the Governor
What did I say to His Highness Shou Guini that made His Highness Shou Guini conclude that my talents are limitless?"
"This matter..." Asahina Taichao frowned and began to think deeply after hearing this, but after thinking for a long time, he still shook his head helplessly, "I can't remember, I vaguely remember these things."
"That's it." Yu Qiuping sighed with some disappointment, and then asked, "What about the fire in Mininghai City? Is there any follow-up later?"
"The unified statement at that time was to blame Momiji on you. However, our Asahina family has always believed that Momiji is not a traitor, and now it seems that you are not a traitor either..." Asahina Taichao pondered, and Asahina Taihei also interjected, "
Yes, isn't this obvious? If His Highness is really a traitor, why is His Highness still thinking about it after so long? And now the Imagawa family is no longer a famous family. To put it bluntly, who is?
It doesn't matter that you are a traitor, and no one has convicted you and asked you for revenge. Your Highness is still thinking about this matter at this time, so he must be innocent."
"It's better not to talk about this matter." Imagawa Shizhen seemed to be very repulsive to the cause of Imagawa Yoshimoto's death. The last time they talked about this matter, he was also avoiding the question.
"No, young master, I have also discovered a new clue now. This clue is related to my life experience, so it is not convenient to tell you." Yu Qiuping leaned forward anxiously and said to Imagawa, "If
If you don’t believe it, you can ask Feng’er.”
Imakawa really set his sights on Imagawa Kaede. Imakawa Kaede immediately nodded and said, "Brother, what he said is true. We did find very important clues, which may be related to the cause of Jiayan's death... but it is really true."
It’s too difficult to tell the clues. But please believe me, brother, with this clue, if we can get some other information, we might be able to figure out what really happened to Jia Yan at that time.”
Imagawa hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded reluctantly, and said in a low voice, "But I still don't think there is a problem with His Highness Okabe. Generations of the Okabe family have been the successors of Imagawa, and they have served the public wholeheartedly, and have never acted beyond the rules.
If he is really a traitor, he must have a plan to kill his lord. But the Oda family gave him nothing, and later he was extremely frustrated in the Takeda family. If he is really a traitor, then what exactly is the reward he received? "
"It's also possible that he wanted to kill His Highness the Family Governor at that time, and then took the opportunity to seize power. However, His Highness Asahina and I had a civil war with him, and both sides' strength was severely depleted, which made his plan come to nothing." Yu Qiuping touched his chin,
Came up with an explanation.
"That makes sense." Asahina Taichao frowned, then sighed after thinking about it, "But I still feel like there's something that doesn't make sense."
