"Mr. Tian Chen, can you teach you the move you mentioned immediately?" Yu Qiu Shang hurriedly made this request to Kentaro Tian Chen during the training the next day.

"Young man, you still can't stand it." Kentaro Tian Chen looked at Yu Qiushang's anxious look and smiled kindly, "If you don't practice basic skills well, just practice other moves first, but you can help grow."

"Sir, this is not the case." Yu Qiushang shook his head and retorted, "To be honest, Mr. Shin, His Highness Yushan summoned Zaixia last night and agreed to go down to attend the martial arts conference at the end of the year. Therefore, I want to learn that move quickly."

"Oh? That's it." To Yu Qiushang's surprise, Kentaro Tian Chen was not too surprised when he heard this. "I don't know the current situation, this is indeed the style of repairing Yama."

"Okay, then I'll teach you." Kentaro Tian Chen stroked his white beard and nodded reluctantly.

"But sir, there is only less than a month left. Is it really time?" Yu Qiushang asked in a low voice with some concern, "After all, according to what Mr. said, that is an invincible move. There is only one month. Can you really learn it?"

"Okay. It's enough for one day." Kentaro Tian Chen laughed loudly when he heard this, and patted Yu Qiushang kindly on the shoulder, "Believe me."

On December 20, three days before the Oda family held a tea party in Kyoto, Morita Exiang took dozens of guards to personally escort Yu Qiu Shang to Kyoto. According to his agreement with Yu Qiu Shang, Yu Qiu Shang could not return to Yu Qiu's home alone, nor could he have contact with Yu Qiu's people alone, but must always be under the control of the Katsuyama Family Guard. Even if the Yu Qiu family and the Oda family were planning to ill, Morita Exiang could take Yu Qiu Shang hostage and prevent Yu Qiu Shang from escaping. Now, Yu Qiu Shang is sitting in the carriage driven by Morita Exiang himself.

"Young Master Yuqiu, don't blame me. My lord is a good person who doesn't know the current affairs, I am not." Morita Exiang turned around, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and said to Yuqiu Shang: "Every family always has a few people who do dirty things. Especially when encountering such lords, we must worry our subordinates."

"This is my duty, how dare I blame me?" Yu Qiushang replied calmly, "I am grateful to you, my lord, and Your Highness so generous."

"This is true. Compared with your brother, the young master's luck is much better." Morita Osuke chuckled twice after hearing this, "Your brother should not come to participate in the martial arts meeting. I don't know if you can take a step out of Sakaimachi."

Yu Qiushang nodded politely at Exiang Morita, but a burst of heartache surged in his heart. With Ayou's temperament, it would be unpleasant to be under house arrest for so long.

Meanwhile, Kyoto.

The reconstruction of Kyoto, Imperial Palace and Nijo Castle, under the charge of Kinoshita Hideyoshi and Akichi Mitsuhide, has been basically completed.

Oda Nobunaga waved his hand last year and sowed a lot of money. Akechi Mitsuhide so he personally formulated the construction plan for the new palace and handed it over to the Emperor. After reviewing it, the Emperor and Miyaki praised Akechi Mitsuhide's taste and wrote a letter to Oda Nobunaga to praise Akechi Mitsuhide.

After being recognized by the Emperor and the Miyako, Akichi Mitsuhide began the reconstruction of Kyoto and the Imperial Palace. At the same time, Kinoshita Hideyoshi also started the reconstruction of Nijo Castle together. This huge project requires a large amount of labor, Kinoshita Hideyoshi and Akichi Mitsuhide offered a lot of rewards, which attracted the people in the Kyoto area and on the other hand was also considered disaster relief.

Those people had just encountered the fires and wars in Kyoto, were forced to be displaced and lost most of their property. Due to the large army and the soaring prices in Kyoto, the lives of these people were no longer sustainable. Originally, many of them would be forced to become refugees or become bandits, posing a huge threat to Kyoto's public security.

However, the trick of Kinoshita Hideyoshi and Akitoki Mitsuhide was two birds with one stone. They not only recruited enough laborers to complete the general service, but also provided work for these homeless victims to support themselves and eliminate safety hazards. The situation of the Oda family in Kyoto was stabilized all of a sudden. Their outstanding internal affairs skills also made the Kinki Takeshi admire the Kinki family. The general Ashikaga Yoshiki has also personally provided disaster relief many times, which has brought him back to the hearts of many people.

By the time Yu Qiupi led a group of guards and confidants back to Kyoto, this was completely different from the ruins after the war last year. The magnificent palace, the bustling Kyoto city Shimamachi, and the sturdy Nijo Castle all made people feel attentive, indicating the changes brought to Kyoto by the Oda family.

However, before Yu Qiuhei had time to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Kyoto, Oda Nobunaga directly called him to the Honno Temple where he was staying. Yu Qiuhei came to Honno Temple tremblingly, and what greeted him was indeed Oda Nobunaga's slandering scolding.

"Hongye, you kid is very capable! He sent his two sons out as hostages and gave up most of the power of the family to the merchants!" Oda Nobunagahiko said that he was not satisfied, so he pulled out the folding fan at his waist and slapped Yu Qiupi's head a few times: "If you don't know, you thought you were being cut off, you thought it was our Oda family who was strong! No one in the Wu family has sold power to merchants for so many years, and you have lost all the faces of the Wu family."

"Oh! Yes! You kid was also a half-baked samurai, you came from Mingguo!" Oda Nobunaga cursed, and suddenly he was happy, "You are not a samurai at all! Isn't your Mingguo the most talked about moral character? Why are you so shameless?"

"This is also impossible, lord." Yu Qiuhei looked aggrieved and spread his hands to Oda Nobunaga, saying, "At that time, you and His Highness Lin threw Jae to the dead place that was lonely outside the country. Jae Has the only way to survive. At that time, there was no food left in Maple Leaf Mountain Castle. If Jae Has no longer bought food from the merchants, Jae Has the same starved to death! And at that time, he was weak at that time, and without the Hoshiyama family calling on the small wealthy family in Hanoi, he would not be able to defeat the Mihao family!"

"So, so you sold more than half of the Yuqiu family's power to the merchants and the guy Takamasa Katsuyama?" Oda Nobunaga interrupted with dissatisfaction.

"Lord, my lord!" Yu Qiuping complained again when he saw this: "Those businessmen are smart. Katsuyama Takamasa is not a fool. He is so weaker than the Sanhao family. Anyone with discerning eyes will support the Sanhao family to fight against the Sanhao family. If they don't give up enough chips, how can they help Your Highness? If they lose, it will not only be the power of the Yu Qiu family, but the entire Hanoi will be gone!"

"Forget it, I won't pursue you. When the situation was critical and you were doing things at a cheap price, Yu agreed to you. Besides, you captured Mihao and made a living. Then this achievement should be used to atone for your sins." Nobunaga Oda snorted coldly and walked in the room with great dissatisfaction. "But now you have defeated Mihao's family, so you should take back the power quickly. Revoke all the embarrassing Congress Courts! Destroy the Hoshiyama family, and then ask Sakaimachi to pay hundreds of thousands of annual tributes to Yu every year."

"This..." Yu Qiuping muttered awkwardly when he heard this, and lowered his head.

"Hmm?" Nobunaga Oda saw that Yu Qiuhei did not agree immediately. He walked up to him in surprise and asked in a deep voice: "Hongye, what are you afraid of? The 50,000 troops with more than 50,000 will support you. You have several thousand in your hands. Are you still afraid that those merchants from Takamasato Katsuyama and Sakaimachi will not be able to do it?"

"Lord, you also know that the eldest and second sons of the lower class are in their hands." Yu Qiuhei raised his head, looked at Oda Nobunaga's eyes, and said softly with fear: "What if I break the contract..."

"Didn't Yu Qiu Shang come to Kyoto to participate in the competition? Isn't your eldest son sent back?" Oda Nobunaga looked at Yu Qiu Hei's eyes and whispered coldly.

"But the guards of the Hoshiyama family have been following him, taking him hostage, and throwing him into jealousy. There is no way to take him back." Yu Qiuhei heard that Oda Nobunaga actually wanted to be tough, so he lowered his head again and whispered tremblingly.

"For the sake of the Oda family's great cause and for the interests of your Yuqiu family, are you reluctant to part with two children? Don't you have a young child?" Nobunaga Oda snorted coldly and said this sentence sternly, which suddenly brought the atmosphere in the room to freezing point.

Yu Qiuping stumbled for a moment, but couldn't speak for a while, and her cheeks were buried deep in the shadow.

He knew that Oda Nobunaga had done similar things in his previous life. When Akechi Mitsuhide was conquering the Tamba Kingdom, he surrounded the Hatano family in Hachikami City. In order to convince the end of the country, the Hatano family surrendered, he sent his mother as a hostage and used his credit to guarantee the safety of Hatano Hideji and Hatano Hidesaka brothers. However, when Hatano brothers left the city to discuss surrender, Oda Nobunaga ordered the two to be directly sentenced to death. The furious Hatano family angrily accused Akechi Mitsuhide of betrayal and directly executed Akechi Mitsuhide's mother. Akechi Mitsuhide's father had long passed away, and it was his mother who pulled him all the way. Now he lost his beloved mother, and his reputation was ruined by Oda Nobunaga's breakup, which became one of the reasons why he broke up with Oda Nobunaga in the future.

Now, Oda Nobunaga's meaning is to let Yu Qiuhei sacrifice his two sons as hostages?

People who can't give up nothing can protect nothing.

In order to protect my two children, even if they want to lose their lord’s trust and suffer from their lord’s suspicion, I have no regrets.

Your Highness, my family governor, I have to make a choice.

"I refuse."

Yu Qiuping was silent for a while and said coldly.

"A woman's kindness cannot accomplish great things. As a samurai, you can no longer have personal feelings!" After Oda Nobunaga saw that Yu Qiuhei actually rejected him so decisively, he felt dim and scolded him angrily.
