"I have won the famous general Yama Prefecture Masake, destroyed the world's most powerful horse riding team, and repelled the Takeda army's attack with half of its troops. It is even more likely to kill Takeda Shingen!" Tokugawa Nobuya was so excited that he couldn't sit still after hearing the description of the Yuqiu family. At this time, a ninja who had counted the number of corpses on the battlefield had just arrived to return, but was caught by Tokugawa Nobuya and asked in a low voice: "How many people did Takeda army die!"

"There are about 1ooo corpses on the battlefield." The ninja replied in a low voice.

"Oh my God, then this is a great victory! Fighting against the Takeda Army for more than 1 ooo! Uesugi Kenshino could not even do such a record on Kawaakashima. His Highness Hongye is really invincible!" Tokugawa Nobuya was completely excited when he heard this and yelled several times. However, what surprised him was that all the Yuqiu samurai around him were bowing their heads without saying a word, and no one echoed his cheers.

"Master Fukushima?" Tokugawa Nobuyasu walked towards Fukushima Ansei, who was sitting under the big tree next to him in surprise. After hearing someone called him, the latter quickly wiped his eyes with his secret movements, and then raised his head, "What are the instructions of His Highness Tokugawa?"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"This is a big victory. Why do everyone seem unhappy?" Tokugawa Nobuyasu hesitated for a moment and asked directly.

Fukushima Ansei was stunned when he heard this, and his Adam's apple squirmed violently. He lowered his head, raised his head after a while, and said with some difficulty, "His Highness Tokugawa doesn't know that Yu Qiu's army also suffered heavy casualties in this battle. All the auxiliary soldiers of 8ooo were dispersed, and all the food and supplies were lost. The 4ooo soldiers killed more than 8ooo, seriously injured more than 4ooo, and slightly injured more than 8o..."

"After more than half of the casualties, they can still overcome the enemy. The Red Leaf soldiers are a strong army in the world." Tokugawa Nobuyashi couldn't help but exclaim from the bottom of his heart when he heard this.

"The colleagues in the lower class... also..." Fukushima Yasuna was indifferent to Tokugawa Nobuyashi's praise, but pursed his lips and continued to whisper with red eyes, "Collar Company Commander Aoyama Shin-shi was killed in battle, Major Company Commander Hara Kazuki, Aoki Ichimakuro, more than half of the school officials were injured, and countless casualties were killed and injured by lieutenants and non-commissioned officers..."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Hearing this, Tokugawa Nobuyasu seemed to gradually understand why the samurai of the Yuqiu family was still so sluggish after victory. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Yuqiu Army had already done something that was almost impossible. However, Yuqiu Army himself seemed to have a crushing defeat.

"Where is Your Highness Hongye? Why not in the camp?" Tokugawa Nobuyasu also grew up. He was not the naughty man who didn't understand human affairs accidents back then. He took the initiative to change the subject and asked Yu Qiuping's whereabouts. "I'll find him to do something."

"On the battlefield over there." Fukushima Ansei raised his hand and pointed to the north coast of the Nishikanga River under the afterglow of the sunset.

"Why don't Your Highness go back to the camp?" Tokugawa Nobuya was stunned. "Is that where your Highness annihilates Akabe?"

"Yes." Fukushima Ahn nodded and sighed again, "Because your highness also has... very important people who died in this battle."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

As the sun sets, Yu Qiuping is kneeling beside Long Zi's corpse, unable to say a word.

God is pitiful to see that the two armies trampled on each other so many times that many corpses were trampled beyond recognition. Perhaps the gods were reluctant to let the girl's beautiful face down, and she did not hurt her cheeks at all.

Apart from the pale face as white as paper and the bloody wound on her neck, the girl seemed to be asleep quietly.

The blood had dried up and dyed her fair neck red.

Yu Qiuping only felt a lot of pain in his heart, and he didn't even know how to describe this pain. It was either a pain in the spiritual sense, or a heart-wrenching pain in the physical sense. For some reason, he suddenly remembered what Long Zi said to him before the hedge.

·&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Your Highness, promise me that you must survive! If you die, Longzi really doesn't know how to survive! You must live well. Only when you are alive can Longzi's life be meaningful."

·

Silly girl... I'm living well, why are you gone... Why are you so stupid? You have to rush up and block the fatal knife for a man who has let you down.

Once the curtain of memories is opened, it can never stop. Every bit of what I have been with Long Zi for more than ten years has been traced back in front of my eyes. Yu Qiuping's tears can no longer stop and slowly flows down his cheeks. It was the hot water I had been made when I woke up in the morning, the sumptuous lunch when I ran back to the camp when I was hungry, the blanket on my shoulders immediately after sneezing in the cold wind, and the smile that was as cute as an elf.

·

"Don't leave me behind. I promise not to cause trouble and not talk nonsense. Your Highness let me follow you."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

·

I didn't leave you, but you left me and took the lead.

·

"I'm afraid, if I don't say this time, I may never have a chance in the future. You are also a samurai, and a samurai who has been on the verge of life and death several times. No one knows whether you can be so lucky at the next time of life and death. I'm afraid of expressing, but I'm more afraid of never having the chance to reveal my feelings to you than to express...I'm afraid..."

·

Yes, I am a samurai, and you are also a samurai. This time, I am still as lucky as ever, but you have encountered misfortune. I can no longer talk to you, I can no longer see you laugh, I can no longer listen to your sweet call to Your Highness, and I can no longer rub your head to coax you who acts coquettishly.

What is the last sentence I said to you?&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Take good care of yourself."

It seems that this is true. When you come to that world, you have to take good care of yourself without me and your wife.

The cold war had been going on for a long time before, but at the last moment, we finally made up, right? I started talking to you again and called you a silly girl. You should be happy, right? You shouldn't leave with regrets, right?

Yu Qiuping tried hard to find excuses to soothe his guilt, but it was just futile.

Yes, how could Longzi have no regrets...

She wants to marry me, she wants to be by my side for the rest of her life...

But I rejected her and rejected her humble request. I never said I liked her once, never said I loved her once, and I never had the chance to say it again.

"Bastard." Yu Qiuping wailed and hammered the ground with his hands, almost bleeding his hands. The huge vibration made Long Zi's body shake, and a neatly stacked red scarf slid out from the broken armor on his chest.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

This is the scarf that Yu Qiuping gave her. It has been worn on her body for more than ten years. The scarf that had already faded was dyed red by blood.

Yu Qiuping trembled and opened the scarf, but suddenly an envelope fell out of the scarf wrapped around it. He was stunned for a moment, and picked up the envelope like a hungry tiger pounced on it, as if he could grab the life of Long Zi to catch it. His hands couldn't stop trembling, and he was so exhausted that he opened the envelope. It was a thin piece of letter paper with Long Zi's beautiful handwriting.

The crisp and sweet voice of Long Zi sounded in Yu Qiuping's ears. The girl seemed to be kneeling in front of her, holding the letter in her hand shyly, and gently reading it to Yu Qiuping with a slight sound as if she was a mosquito.

·

Your Highness, when you saw this letter, I might be gone. Because Longzi made up his mind that he would never hand it over to you, and he would not want to add any trouble to you because of his willfulness. So, if you see this letter, you must have sorted out Longzi's relics.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Longzi thought about it for a long time. If this was what Longzi wanted to say to His Highness in the end, what would Longzi say? Perhaps, the most thing was the word "Thank you".

The moment I woke up for the second time, I met His Highness.

It was you who gave me warmth and allowed me to escape from the nightmare of my previous life.

I have been chasing your back, as if I were praying, but you didn't look back.

Why do you live so quickly? I beg you not to leave me.

Even by your side, I am still afraid.

But please don't leave.

For me, you are my destination.

In such a beautiful and cruel world, I am still alive and still breathing.

It's because I still have people who want to protect, even if I have to fight for my life, that unique person.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Because whenever I see Your Highness, I feel as if a beam of light dispels the haze in my eyes.

So I pray that you do not leave me, and do not let me become a person again, please do not leave.

Only you are my destination.

As long as you are there, Longzi will do everything.

·

Reading the letter and crying, the illusory image of the dragon sitting kneeling in front of me seemed to be constantly retracing. From the gentle and considerate girl who took care of Yu Qiu's daily life, she became the girl who was shy and hard to bear because she was sleeping in the same bed with Yu Qiu's; then she became the girl who was as delicate as a flower bud that jumped around in the handheld shop.

Until the first meeting, the poor girl in a poor and incomprehensible manner.

Memories surged like a tide in an instant, so that Yu Qiu couldn't tell which one was illusory and which one was a memory. He seemed to see again that the kind and innocent girl, kneeling in the cold wind, piously making two humble wishes to the meteor in the cold night.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

·

A cold wind blew, and Long Zi's exposed neck immediately followed a biting cold. She hugged her old samurai uniform full of loopholes, but she could not cover her neck at all. She sneezes, covered her hands tightly on her neck, trying to warm her cold neck with the futile temperature of her palm.

Suddenly, in the distant night sky to the west, there was a meteor with a long tail swaying, quietly passing through the horizon.

"Meteor!" Long Zi suddenly shouted with some excitement, "Can you make a wish!"

"Then..." Long Zi let go of her hands covering her neck, folded her hands devoutly, and closed her eyes towards the meteor. However, as soon as her hands left, her neck hurt coldly again.

"I want my neck to be cold..." Longzi blurted out his first wish.

After saying that, Longzi seemed to think that this wish was a bit too ordinary, and I'm sorry for this rare meteor. So she narrowed her eyes into a slit and glanced at the meteor quietly, as if she hoped that the gods on the meteor did not hear her wish.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"That just now didn't count..." Long Zi once again folded his hands piously and faced the direction of the meteor.

"Well..." She thought about how to put forward an amazing wish and seize the opportunity. However, the cold wind blew on her neck like a knife, urging her to make a decision soon.

"Yes..." she spoke timidly, as if she had asked something ruthless.

She thought of countless snowy nights in the past, she was wandering alone in the streets and alleys, looking at the brightly lit houses, and a family of people were sitting around the table with a smile; she thought of her parents walking past the road while begging on the road, holding a string of candied haws in her hands, and handing them to her parents a bite like asking for credit...

I thought of the word "home" that is so far away and very unfamiliar.

"Can you give me a home?"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

·

Yu Qiuping picked up the scarf with tears in his eyes and wanted to wrap the poor girl. But as soon as his hand touched it, the image in front of him disappeared like fragments. Back then, he used a scarf to wrap her neck, but also surrounded her heart.

I once promised to give her a happy home, but now I personally shattered the hard-won home of the girl.

She is such a shy and shy girl. How determined did she make to muster up the courage to confess. And her confession, her "like you", is not for possession, not for claiming. She just wants to stay by my side and give silently for the rest of her life, that's all.

Why did I say such cruel words at that time?

Yu Qiuping knelt coldly in the north wind, holding the worn scarf, allowing tears to flow out and be dried by the wind until he could no longer cry.

He finally accepted this fact clearly.

The little girl who has been by his side for more than ten years will never come back.

He lowered his head and looked directly at Long Zi's pale face, without even a trace of blood. The scars on his neck were so shocking.

The north wind is so strong, your neck must be very cold.

Your Highness can't help you realize your second wish and you can't give you a home.

At least we will help you realize your first wish.

Yu Qiuping trembled and held up Long Zi's neck, and for the last time he used the burgundy scarf to help her surround her neck, solemnly as if she had wrapped a scarf for her for the first time. But this time, her heart was dead. All she surrounded was Yu Qiuping's heart full of sin and regret.

"Silly girl, your neck will not be cold."
