Chapter three hundred and seventieth

Not long after, Honda Tada came to the private room where the two families had dinner and watched martial arts at the request of Yu Qiuhei. Honda Tada saw Yu Qiuhei and Tokugawa Ieyasu looking at him at the same time, he hesitated for a moment, and gave a ceremony to Tokugawa Ieyasu first to show the etiquette of seeing the lord, and then to Yu Qiu.

Tokugawa Ieyasu was slightly embarrassed and looked at Yu Qiuhei quietly, and found that the latter was looking at Tadao Honda with a gratifying look. Tokugawa Ieyasu was about to speak, but Tokugawa Nobuyasu, who was sitting next to him, said excitedly in a deep voice: "Mr. Honda!"

"Young Master." Honda Tadao still had the serious and old-fashioned expression, respectfully bowing to Tokugawa Nobuyaki.

"Kuangnosuke, Saburo has admired your martial arts for a long time!" Yu Qiuhei smiled and helped Tokugawa Nobuyasu speak, "This martial arts conference, why don't you go up and compete with those samurai a few times to show us?"

However, after hearing this, Honda Tadao frowned, without estimating the expectant gaze of everyone, and shook his head coldly: "Please forgive me, I will forgive you."

"Oh?" Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why is this?"

"The martial arts of martial artists are used to fight on the battlefield, not to make people laugh on the ring." Tadakasa Honda whispered firmly.

"Okay," Yu Qiuhei, who was swept up in public, was not angry, but just smiled awkwardly, saying, "Kuangnosuke is still so stupid."

"By the way, Guonosuke," Yu Qiuhei hesitated for a moment and spoke again, "This time His Highness Tokugawa happened to be in Kiyosu. Do you want to consider following His Highness Tokugawa back to Mikawa?"

As soon as he said that, Yu Qiuping felt a little regretful. He just forced a topic to ease the awkward atmosphere. As a result, he didn't have time to think about it, he actually asked this question.

However, this idea has been brewing for a long time. When the Matsuhide family gained independence in the third year of Euluo, Tada Honda could have gone home. However, due to various reasons, it was delayed for 7 years and still couldn't go back. Although Tada Honda didn't mention it often, Yu Qiuping always remembered the back of the child who was kneeling in front of the Matsuhide house in the heavy rain ten years ago. The obsession of returning to Sanhe and returning to the Matsuhide family...

It's time for him to realize his dream. Let me blurt out this time and become an opportunity.

Yu Qiuping raised his head and looked at Tadao Honda who was standing beside him. His helmet was empty and seemed out of place among the guards with red leaves around him.

This is your dream that you have been dreaming about for a long time, isn’t it?

Tokugawa Ieyasu frowned upon hearing this and looked at Yu Qiuhei with a worried look. He really admired Honda Tadao's Tadao's Tadao, and if Honda Tadao could return to the Tokugawa family, he would definitely be unlucky. But will Yu Qiuhei be reluctant to leave?

Tada Tada turned his attention to Tokugawa Ieyasu. The master he had followed since childhood, the new master of the Matsue family who served for generations. Returning to the Matsue family and becoming the Matsue family samurai family was his father's expectation for him, his father's last wish, and his lifelong dream.

The three people looked at different people like a triangle. The silence suddenly fell in the private room, and the air became a little heavy. At this depressing moment, Yu Qiuyu's voice suddenly rang out.

"Ah! How can this be done!" Yu Qiuyou said loudly in dissatisfaction and surprise: "Is Hondo going to leave? I am still waiting to learn martial arts with him! Dad doesn't want it! Mrs. Naohu said that her martial arts are much worse than that of Hondo. When I finish learning the basic skills, I will let me learn from Hondo!"

"Yu'er, don't make trouble. Children don't understand the affairs of adults." Yu Qiu-hei glared at Yu Qiu-you, "Your Hondao was originally from the Matsue family, or Tokugawa family. Now that you have returned to your hometown, you should be happy for Hondao."

"I don't care! I don't care!" Yu Qiuyou simply started to play with a child's temper, "I just don't let Hondo leave! Dad, tell Uncle Kazukang!"

"You kid!" Yu Qiuhei frowned and was about to teach Yu Qiuyou a lesson. But Tokugawa Ieyasu smiled and tried to smooth things over: "It's okay, it's okay, if Yu'er doesn't want Guonosuke to leave now, it's okay. Then let Guonosuke stay and teach you martial arts. When you finish learning, let Guonosuke come back, okay?"

"Okay!" "Take Chiyo?" Yu Qiuyu and Yu Qiuping spoke one after another, but their voices revealed similar joy.

Tokugawa Ieyasu understands that Yu Qiuhei will definitely not be willing to give up Honda Tada. Today Yu Qiuyou happened to be making trouble there again, so you might as well be a favor and let Honda Tada Tada stay at Yu Qiu's house for a while. This can be considered as making Yu Qiuhei owe him a favor, which is always beneficial to the Tokugawa family.

However, Honda Tadao looked at Tokugawa Ieyasu's eyes and trembled slightly. The face of Kui Wubo, who had always had a subtle look of disappointment.

"It's okay," Tokugawa Ieyasu waved his hands repeatedly, "Yu'er, you have to practice martial arts diligently, don't let my heart down!"

"Thank you, Uncle Iekaku!" Yu Qiuyu nodded and agreed. Yu Qiuxie looked at Honda Tadao with concern - he must be very disappointed, would he blame Yu'er in his heart? However, Tokugawa Iekaku had already spoken, and Yu Qiuxie couldn't say anything more.

"If there is nothing wrong, I will go back to work." Honda Tadao's voice was still muffled, and he could hardly hear any feelings. He turned his eyes to Yu Qiuping, who dodged Honda Tada's eyes and nodded quickly. Then, Honda Tadao turned around without saying a word, and the other guards around looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"By the way, Brother Saburo!" The excited Yu Qiuyu didn't seem to notice the awkward atmosphere, but turned his eyes to Tokugawa Nobuyasu, "Will you participate in the wrestling tonight?"

"Of course, I can. Although I am already in the turmoil and cannot participate in the competition, when I met Oda Hall before, he specifically approved me to participate." Tokugawa Nobuyasu nodded and said, "I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

"Then let's go and practice together! I also want to see how powerful Brother Sanlang is!" Yu Qiuyou stood up excitedly while saying that, and at the same time pulled Yu Qiushang's collar sitting beside him, "Brother! Come together!"

"Ayou, don't do this. Young Master Xinkang hasn't finished eating yet." Yu Qiushang looked at his younger brother and whispered in a reproachful manner.

"Oh, what are you eating! I've been full for a long time!" Yu Qiuyou patted her belly and said with a smile: "Brother Sanlang, do you think so?"

"Hahaha... It's more important to practice martial arts than eating. So what if you don't eat enough?" Tokugawa Nobuyasu also smiled and stood up. Seeing this, Yu Qiuyu became even more interested. He grabbed Yu Qiushang without saying a word and stood up. The three children ran out with the bitter smiles of Yu Qiuhei and Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Three children walked shoulder to shoulder on the road, Yu Qiuyu and Tokugawa Nobuyaki were talking and laughing, while Yu Qiuyu Shang watched the two chat. They walked all the way to the dojo used for the evening competition, and along the way, they met many children from the Wu family's Wei Yuanfu who were heading to the dojo to practice. At this moment, a shout came from the side.

"Oh? Isn't this the young master Sanlang?"

"Well? It's Young Master Qimimaru!" Tokugawa Nobuyasu turned his head in surprise and found a small group of people standing not far away. The leaders were Oda Qimimaru and Oda Chayemaru who he had seen several times before - both were the boys born to Yoshino Oda, Oda Nobunaga's favorite, Oda Nobuta and Oda Nobuo. Among them, Oda Qimimaru had been adopted by the childless Nobuhime Nobuhime, and therefore became the legitimate eldest son and heir of the Oda family.

It is worth mentioning that although Oda Sanqi (that is, the future Oda Nobuta), who was also standing in the crowd, was born a lot earlier than Oda's tea worm, but because of his low status, he was still ranked behind the tea worm, and he was not loved by Oda Nobunaga. Therefore, he did not have the same status as Qimiao and tea worms as the stars and the moon, and he could only stand silently among the children.

Just as Tokugawa Nobuyasu, Yu Qiushang and Yu Qiuyu and his group were about to walk forward to say hello, a discordant voice came from the crowd.

"Tsk, that useless miscellaneous man wants to fall? He probably can beat Princess Wude!"

There were many people in the crowd, and they could not tell who was rude for a while, nor could they tell who was the person he insulted.

However, Yu Qiushang understood that the person who said that must be saying it to him. The Yu Qiu family has emerged in recent years, and its forces have caught up with many important officials of the Oda family. Therefore, the children of those important officials are naturally not very friendly to the Yu Qiushang family and often make fun of Yu Qiushang's disability.

Useless miscellaneous...Is that how those people think of me?

Just when Yu Qiuping lowered his head with a gloomy face, Yu Qiuyou, who was standing beside him, quietly pulled his sleeves and whispered to him: "Don't take it to heart, brother, those people are just idiots."

"Yeah." Yu Qiushang nodded and agreed.

He squeezed out a smile with great effort. The sarcasm was actually not the most vicious mockery he had ever heard. However, what really hurt him was Yu Qiuyu's reaction. The person who called did not clearly express who he shouted at when he said this, but Yu Qiuyu came up and decided that this sentence was shouted to Yu Qiuyu, not himself or Tokugawa Nobuyasu. This was the first time that Yu Qiuyu saw himself through his younger brother's eyes. He understood how his younger brother viewed him, the same way everyone looked at him - useless mess.

Yu Qiuyou's words made him feel overwhelmed, and his former belief seemed to have suffered a disaster.

He once thought his younger brother was the only one who treated him equally.

Now I find that it is not.

All the comfort, protection and encouragement of my younger brother in the past seemed to have changed. It was no longer the encouragement of flesh and blood that was thicker than water, but the alms and mercy of the strong to the weak.

Yu Qiushang looked at Yu Qiuyou with a somewhat complicated look, and did not say anything more.
