Chapter 227 Dreamland
Yu Qiuhei left the evaluation room absent-mindedly and did not go home. Instead, he directly called Amano Keito and Naoe Tadae. The three of them found a secret tent in the military camp and sat down.
"Your Highness," Naoe Tadaehei asked in confusion, "You just finished the meeting and asked us to come over, but what task has been issued?"
Yu Qiupi was stunned for a moment and nodded slowly. As soon as the meeting was over, his mind was in a mess and he had no ability to think calmly. He didn't want to fight with the Imakawa family, nor did he want to be sorry for the kindness of his superiors and His Highness Sezuna, nor did he want to fight against his former partners on the battlefield. The guilt, shame, and the anger and humiliation of being monitored by Sasa Zemasa made Yu Qiupi feel the impulse to rebel immediately for a moment.
However, since he defected to the Oda family, he had never told anyone about his intention to rebel. Therefore, although everyone was a little dissatisfied with an enemy like the Oda family, they had no other opinion.
However, if he really wanted to rebel, he would never leave these subordinates who had lived and died without paying attention to them. He would definitely find a way to take everyone away. However, if he told everyone about his rebellion, especially those who were stupid and big-mouthed, it would be very likely that the people of the Oda family would notice clues and implicate everyone.
Therefore, Yu Qiuhei was in a state of irritation, and called on Naoe Tadaehiro and Amano Keito, whom he trusted the most, and planned to ask them for advice: Should we take the opportunity to rebel during this expedition?
However, as time passed, Yu Qiuhei was blown by the cold wind, and his mind gradually cooled down. He himself realized that his plan of rebellion seemed a bit ridiculous and rash. In front of the army, as a newcomer, he would definitely be monitored and paid attention. How easy was it to kill Oda Nobunaga among the thousands of troops and then escape? Can he really take his subordinates away? What should I do with Kaede Imakawa from Shishima Town, Kiyosu Castle? The powerful momentum brought by the emotional fluctuations just now gradually faded, and people began to calm down.
So, when Naoe Tadaehide asked him if he had any mission, he nodded with a serious expression, but in the end he did not express his plan to rebel.
"The lord wants us to enter Naruto City on January 4th, as the vanguard of the entire army," Yuqiehei retelled Oda Nobunaga's order, "We are going to start preparing. The auxiliary soldiers may have to borrow from the lord, and the transportation tools should be planned. The brothers' training frequency has not been high recently. I will catch them during this period, after all, I will go to the battlefield soon. Maybe we will also build siege equipment on our own."
"As for your order, Your Highness." Naoe Tadaehiro bowed and replied, "Go and prepare immediately after getting off."
However, Naoe Tadaehide did not retreat immediately as usual. Instead, he looked at Yu Qiuping with a worried look.
"What's wrong? Personal guard?" Yu Qiuping felt a little embarrassed and smiled relaxedly.
"It's nothing, maybe I'm too careful," Naoe Tadaehiro whispered: "I think your highness is not very good."
"Haha..." Yu Qiuping laughed dryly, "Maybe he's too tired."
Just when Yu Qiuping was about to get up and leave, Keido Amano, who had been silent and looked like a calm face, suddenly spoke.
"Your Highness." His voice was still terrifyingly low, "I wonder if you ask your Highness, why don't you call a few generals to come over for these military affairs? Instead, you want to call me down here?"
"Uh..." Yu Qiuping's mouth twitched, scratched his head, and found an excuse to make excuses: "I didn't see you on the Mid-Autumn Festival before, so I'll greet you this time."
However, Amano Keito did not follow up and stared at Yu Qiuping with his crow-like turbid eyes. Yu Qiuping avoided his eyes and did not dare to look at him, for fear that his worries would be seen through.
"Your Highness," Amano Keidu said again: "I wonder where your highness will be moving into Naruto as a striker, as he enters Naruto City?"
Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, swallowed, and whispered: "Dagaocheng."
Keito Amano and Tadaehide Naoe were both shocked. Before the latter could react, the former immediately looked outside the tent vigilantly, then walked to the outside of the tent and looked around. He came back after confirming that it was safe.
Yu Qiuping took two steps back guiltily.
As soon as Amano Keido opened his mouth, Yu Qiuping tightened his whole body.
"Your Highness..." Amano Keidu gently stroked the crow on his shoulder, and the crow's dim eyes stared at Yu Qiuping.
"Can you tell me why Your Highness asked me to come?"
The camp suddenly became very small.
Yu Qiuping looked at Naoe Tadaehide and Amano Keito, smiled bitterly, and shook his head slightly.
"If your highness has any hidden secrets, it's better not to say it, just follow the order."
"If your highness has an idea, it's best to tell me, otherwise I will not be able to react in a hurry."
Naoe Tadaehide and Amano Keito said almost at the same time.
Yu Qiuping looked at the two loyal subordinates and was speechless for a moment. After a long time, he shook his head and said, "Personal Wei, Jingde, I absolutely trust you, trust your loyalty." Yu Qiuping paused, "So you don't have to suspect that I am hiding something from you."
"I don't want to say...it's just because I didn't think about it myself."
·
After Yu Qiuhei said goodbye to the two, he returned to the home of Maeda Taki family. Maeda Taki family has not been at home these days, and there are only Madam Matsu, Imakawa Kaede and his maid Ah Ling at home.
However, there were two small figures in the yard. Yu Qiuping looked carefully and found that it was Honda Tada and Ryuko who came back early. Yu Qiuping could guess with his toes, and it must be that Longko was going to pester Honda Tada Tada again to teach her martial arts. But this child was the stupidest, and he didn't say anything to be coquettish, just to ask Honda Tada Tada Tada Tada teaches her. Honda Tada Tada was not good at socializing, and was a taciturn person who was so annoyed by her that he actually agreed to teach her. Logically speaking, most people would be perfunctory when encountering this situation. However, Honda Tada Tada was very respectful and serious, and he taught her very well in a strict manner.
However, when Long Zi, who had been learning well, saw Yu Qiuping coming, he immediately threw down the wooden knife in his hand and ran over. The scarf was still around his neck.
"Your Highness," Longzi said excitedly: "Welcome home!"
"Longzi is so good," Yu Qiuping squeezed out a smile and touched Longzi's head, "Is the supper delicious?"
"Yes!" Longzi nodded vigorously.
"Don't be too tired of practicing, pay attention to rest." Yu Qiuping reminded him, then walked straight into the door and came to Imagawa Kaede's house. Imagawa Kaede was leaning against the pillow, stroking his raised abdomen with kind face, full of maternal glory. In his previous life, he always heard that women would have a very irritable temper when they were pregnant. However, after Imagawa Kaede became extremely docile, which made him miss the princess who had a little bit of temperament before.
"Are you back?" Imakawa Kaede looked up at Yu Qiuhei, "How was the assessment meeting?"
Imakawa Kaede's call pulled Yu Qiupi back from his distraction, and the smile that had just emerged from memories disappeared immediately.
"What's wrong, Hei?" Imagawa Kaede noticed Yu Qiuping's abnormality and asked.
Yu Qiuping's mouth twitched, avoiding Imakawa Kaede's eyes.
"I'm going to attack the Imakawa family."
Yu Qiuping tried to speak the shortest words, as if the less words he said, the less pain he felt in his heart.
Imakawa Kaede stood there in a daze, unable to say anything.
After a long time, she showed a very strange smile.
"Let's go to bed first," Imagawa Kaede lowered his head, covering up the tears at the corners of his eyes, "In the end..."
"Can't you still be unable to escape the lives of the Wu family's children?"
"Fate..." Yu Qiuping raised his head, looked at the stars outside the window, and whispered in a dream, "Do you?"
·
"Yuqiu, do you believe in your life?" Imakawa Yoshimoto leaned on the pillar of the Shenpai corridor, looking at Yuqiuping, who was picking up the red leaves in autumn.
"Don't believe it." Yu Qiuping replied decisively, "Things like fate are created by oneself. If you really have fate, then those who believe that they will definitely be rich and noble will not be able to do so afterwards, will they not be rich or not?"
"Haha, the answer is wrong!" Imakawa Yoshimoto snapped his fingers with a smile, "Maybe, those people are destined to stop working hard because they believe in their lives at some point!"
"This..." Yu Qiuping felt that he seemed to be trapped in a vicious circle of circular argumentation. However, people like him who have traveled through time cannot believe in fate no matter what: "Anyway, I don't believe it."
"Haha, I can't read Buddhism at first glance," Imakawa Yoshimoto shook his head with a smile, "When Master Xuezhai was alive, he often taught me that everyone has their own destiny. Life and death have destiny. No matter how hard they struggle, they cannot escape destiny, and it is impossible for others to avoid destiny."
"I don't think so." Yu Qiuping finally picked up a maple leaf that he felt satisfied with and looked at it carefully.
"Haha, you, you," Imakawa Yoshimoto was also happy, "Do you know, Master Xuezhai also said that someone can get rid of his fate."
Yu Qiuhei was selecting maple leaves while listening to what Imakawa Yoshimoto said.
However, Imakawa Yoshimoto's words came to an abrupt end, but turned his head and stared at Yu Qiuping. After Yu Qiuping stopped talking, Yu Qiuping turned around unexpectedly and just met Imakawa Yoshimoto's eyes.
In those eyes, there was endless darkness, and no expression was seen. A moment later, a blood light flashed. A shrill voice like a death-seeking ghost sounded from the red leaves in the palm of your hand: "The gods and Buddhas who only know everything over the years-"
·
"Ah!" Yu Qiuping woke up from his dream screaming, sat up, and then she realized that she was already covered in cold sweat. He looked around and Kaede Imakawa was asleep peacefully, and the furniture arrangements were still as they had before going to bed.
