"What's wrong with you recently?" Sena Ujitoshi asked when all work came to an end.
Sena Shijun had long noticed that something was wrong with Yu Qiuping, but the latter had been immersed in the documents and did not ask. He grabbed Yu Qiuping who was about to leave and asked him to sit down, preparing to have a good talk with him.
talk.
"Your Highness." Yu Qiuping looked gloomy, "It's just a personal matter, not worthy of Your Highness' concern."
"You are the young man I watched grow up." Sena Shijun pulled up a stool and sat down next to Yu Qiuping, "Your affairs are my affairs. If you have any troubles, you can talk to me."
Seeing Yu Qiuping's hesitation, Sena Shijun smiled kindly, "When I was your age, I would have all kinds of troubles that I didn't want to mention to others. I can be considered someone who has experienced it. But in my own situation
If you tell others your lesson, it will really be a lot better.”
"I don't want to say it and I won't force you." Sena Shitoshi comforted, "Things will eventually pass, but I am willing to listen to Momiji's troubles."
Yu Qiuping sighed and said softly: "Thank you very much, Your Highness."
He pondered for a moment, and then decided to tell what had been in his mind for the past few days: "I hope Your Highness can promise to keep it a secret, and not even tell the family governor's hall."
"Okay, I promise Momiji." Sena Shitoshi nodded.
"The girl I told His Highness before, that I have a crush on, is actually Princess Feng." Yu Qiuping had finished speaking. Even though Sena Toshitoshi was as calm as Sena, his expression changed drastically, and it took him a while to calm down.
"I am in love with the princess, and we agreed to marry the princess after working hard to get promoted. But a few days ago, the young master came to talk to me," Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly, "I also think what the young master said makes sense. I
My identity is so different from that of Her Royal Highness, how can I be worthy of Her Highness? The princess cannot wait for me forever, she is already 17."
As Yu Qiuping spoke, tears filled his eyes again, "So on her birthday, I asked her to resign. Maybe this is the best choice for her." After saying that, Yu Qiuping lowered his head.
Go, cover your face to prevent tears from flowing out. Along with the words pouring out, there is also the depression and suffering that has troubled him for a long time, "But it will still be so sad and painful..."
Sena Shitoshi didn't say much, he just patted Yu Qiuping's shoulder gently.
"You are an amazing man." Sena Ujitoshi comforted, "But you also need to cheer up. It's not okay for you to be in such a low spirit these past few days."
"You and Princess Kaede may not be able to get together due to various reasons, but you love each other after all." Sena Shijun comforted, "No matter what the final result is, she will definitely hope that Momiji will still be the sunny and cheerful Momiji before, instead of
I’ve been depressed all day.”
"Even if it's just to make her happy, to make her feel better, you have to work hard to cheer up." Sena Shijun said solemnly, "Not to mention it's for yourself. Princess Maple hasn't gotten married yet, so Hongye still has a chance! You
If you can go from being a white body to becoming a general and the lord of a five-thousand-stone territory in one year, why not try it and then become a general in the family and become the elder of the family in another year!" Sena Ujitoshi encouraged Yu Qiuping: "It's rare that you are not willing to fight.
A handful!"
"That's what His Highness said." Yu Qiuping tried his best to raise his head, holding back tears and smiled, "I can't give up yet! Thank you, Your Highness, I'm much better."
"Then go back to the territory and relax." Sena Shitoshi stood up and said, "Don't worry, I will keep this matter a secret for you."
After Yu Qiuping returned to the territory, Naoe Tadahira immediately came to visit.
"Kenbei, why are you in such a hurry? Did something happen in the territory?" When Yu Qiuping was away, Naoe Tadahira was the general manager of the entire territory. Because after all, he was Yu Qiuping's most trusted person and he was also very popular.
All aspects of things are also covered.
"No, I'm here to visit you, sir." Naoe Tadohei walked to the door, adjusted his blindfold, leaned over and said, "Seeing that your complexion has improved a lot, I feel relieved."
"Oh? Is it because of the bad mood I had some time ago?" Yu Qiuping said as he asked Naoe Tadahira to sit down.
"Exactly." Naoe Tadahei nodded, "I wonder if I can share your worries for you?"
Yu Qiuping sighed. After talking to Sena Shijun last time, his mood became much better. He didn't want to hide this from this loyal subordinate and make him worry about him every day.
After listening to Yu Qiuping tell what happened, Naoe Tadahira was speechless for a moment. He never expected that Yu Qiuping's sweetheart would actually be the princess of the Imagawa family.
"Sir..." Naoe Tadahira carefully considered his words, "I don't know how to comfort you, nor can I comment on whether your actions are right or wrong."
"It's just..." Naoe Tadayei asked with some confusion, "I'm a little curious, did you consider the princess's thoughts when you made the decision to separate?"
"Huh?" Naoe Tadayei's question made Yu Qiuping stunned. Indeed, it was he who proposed the breakup at the time, and he had never discussed it with Imagawa Kaede beforehand. "But it was also for her own good... I couldn't not do it.
Ah." Yu Qiuping sighed. "Forget it, never mind, you should go see the craftsmen first."
"As you command, my lord."
"By the way, sir." Naoe Tadahei stood up and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something, "In the past few days, Mr. Asahina has come here to see you, and he seems to be worried about you."
"Brother..." Yu Qiuping's heart warmed, "I'm sorry to worry about him."
After Naoe Tadayei left, Yu Qiuping sat down alone in the room, poured a cup, and savored Naoe Tadayei's words.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, and the voice of Naoe Tadayei, who had left and returned: "Sir, Asahina-sama is here. I hope to see you."
"Brother?" Yu Qiuping asked in surprise, "Is it such a coincidence? Why are you so polite? Let him come in directly."
"Hey!" The door was suddenly opened, and Asahina Taehyung squeezed in sideways, pushed Naoe Tadahei away, and strode in unceremoniously, "I'm not being polite to you. I'm informing you that it's a personal guard."
I said it myself. My exact words were, tell that decadent boy to get out and see his big brother!"
The comfort from Sena Ujitoshi and his friends made Yu Qiuping gradually come out of the shadows, and he began to devote more efforts to the training of the army. He has recently spent more time on the training of the archery team. After all, archers need long-term training to improve.
It is horizontal, rather than "quick" like the gun array.
On April 21, he happened to meet Charlie who was training in the forest east of the West Village. The latter hung a round target on a tree nearly three hundred meters away and was still practicing his archery alone.
"Is it so far?" Yu Qiuping sighed. He walked behind Charlie. Standing at this distance, it was difficult to even see the target. "Thompson, I'm afraid you can shoot through the enemy with a hundred steps."
Charlie did not respond to Yu Qiuping, but silently drew the long bow to full capacity, closed one eye, calmly, and aimed at the bullseye in the distance. The blond hair on his forehead shone particularly brightly under the sunlight.
With the sound of loose strings, the sharp arrow pointed directly at the target. In an instant, the target made a crisp sound. Yu Qiuping ran over to see the target with some curiosity, while Charlie shook his head regretfully.
"Sir, it is useless to look at my archery target. I failed to shoot well this time." Charlie shook his head. Yu Qiuping walked to the archery target and found that the archery target had five circles from the inside to the outside, with the middle
There was a red dot the size of a sesame seed pancake, which was barely visible from three hundred meters away. Five arrows had been inserted into Charlie's archery target, and Yu Qiuping couldn't tell which one was shot just now. Three of the five arrows were
It falls between the third ring and the second ring. There are two more ones inserted not far from the red circle.
"Can it be so accurate?" Yu Qiuping exclaimed in surprise, "Three hundred meters! It can actually hit such an inside position."
While he was talking, Charlie had already walked up from behind. He wordlessly pulled out the arrows from the target. Then, he turned around and walked back to the shooting position.
"My father." Charlie raised his longbow and pointed at the target in the distance, "He has the ability to hit the red heart three hundred meters away."
"I need to practice, my training is far from enough." He sighed, and continued to hold his breath and prepare to shoot. "I must surpass my father and reach the required level of a royal archer."
Yu Qiuping smiled and did not continue to disturb Charlie. He originally planned to let him go back to teach the archers, but seeing him training so intently, he gave up the idea.
He has his own obsessions, so don't force him.
Yu Qiuping was walking back to the training ground. Suddenly, the messenger named Aneshan Nobita hurried over on horseback. As soon as he saw Yu Qiuping, he shouted: "My lord, my lord, it's not good!"
"You kid, why are you making such a fuss all day long?" Yu Qiuping said with a smile, "What's the emergency? You don't have enough prostitution money to be hunted down?"
"No, sir!" After being teased by Yu Qiuping, Nobuhiro Anesama didn't feel shy at all. Instead, he replied matter-of-factly: "How is that possible, sir? Those girls are so eager to cheat after the next night's supper."
"Fuck you, shut up!" Yu Qiuping cursed with a smile, "What the hell is going on?"
"My lord, my subordinate of the cavalry team, Kohata Kitsei, has violated military law and will be expelled from the army by Amano-sama!" Nobuhiro Anesama said hurriedly, "You know that Kobata Kitsei is a good man.
!So I quickly came to the adults to intercede!"
"Oh? What's the matter?" Yu Qiuping wanted to ask again, but Aneshan Nobuyoshi urged him to get on the road quickly. "Otherwise, it will be too late!"
"Okay, okay," Yu Qiuping responded, jumping onto Xianshan Xinshi's horse with familiarity, and hugged his waist.
"Sir, I didn't ask you to get on the horse!" Nobuyuki Anayama said with a sad face, "It's so strange for a grown man to hold my waist! I still prefer those girls to hold me."
"Stop beeping, hurry up." Yu Qiuping scolded with a smile.
"Sir, why are you so skilled at riding a horse while holding others in your arms?" Nobuyuki Anesama asked curiously. Yu Qiuping pinched him hard, and the latter stopped talking.
