In the early morning of June 5th, east of Sunfu Castle, in Yu Qiuping's territory.
Imagawa Kaede, who is four months pregnant, has a slightly bulging belly. A few days ago, after the news came that Yu Qiu was safe and sound, she finally slept peacefully for a night, and the maids who took care of her also breathed a sigh of relief -
—Pregnant women cannot withstand the torment during pregnancy.
However, what worries everyone is that Imagawa Kaede made several requests to Sugini to go to the Sunpu Castle castle tower, but Sugini refused them all. The maids recalled that Okabe and Asahina accused each other of each other.
He is a traitor - and the Okabe family even bluntly claimed that Yu Qiuping was the traitor who betrayed the governor. Such a statement by Shouguini inevitably made everyone think wrong, and also made people have the dual identity of the wife of the Yuqiu family and the princess of the Imagawa family.
Kaede Imagawa's identity is extremely embarrassing.
Yu Qiuping took away almost all the troops and officers in the territory during this expedition, and there was not even one person to arrest the boss. In addition to training, Imagawa Kaede also had to deal with heavy official duties, which really worried the maids.
.
At three o'clock in the morning, the maids were still at the west side of the territory, waiting for the military news coming from Junfu City every day. However, when they went out today, Princess Feng seemed a little unusually sad, and she said a few words to them one by one.
They talked about their childhood. While they were chatting and laughing with the princess, they were also worried about the unstable mood of the princess during her pregnancy.
On the official road leading to Junfu, smoke and dust were still rising at this time. However, as the smoke and dust gradually approached, the maids found that something seemed wrong. Today's smoke and dust seemed to be particularly large.
When the figure gradually became clearer, the maids were surprised to realize that it was not the messenger - but a group of horse warriors, with a total of more than a dozen fully armed men! And the leader was the one who had been pestering him in the past few years.
Masazuna Okabe, the princess of their family, refuses to let go!
"Oops!" The maids naturally understood the reason why the visitor was evil. "Azhu, go and tell Her Royal Highness Princess! Find a place to hide!" The only maid among the maids who could ride a horse immediately got on her horse and turned around to leave. The others
A maid hurriedly tried to find a place to hide, but because the maid who was riding a horse made too much noise, she was discovered by the Okabe family's cavalry.
After Okabe Masatsuna discovered the maids, he immediately ordered his men to greet them. He personally led a few people to chase the maids who came to report the news, and the remaining ten people surrounded several panicked maids. The maids
They were shocked and screamed. After hearing the screams of her companions, the maid on horseback reined in her horse and turned around in horror. However, her deceleration was fatal. She saw
What caught her eye was not her companions, but the oncoming sharp blades of the Okabe family samurai, and the splash of her own blood.
"Tell me, where is your princess?" A samurai of the Okabe family put a knife on the neck of the maid who was kneeling on the ground and shivering in fear. The sharp blade drew a bloody mark on the maid's snow-white neck.
The samurai's demonic roar frightened the maids so much that they just kept crying and their lips were trembling, unable to say a single word. They stared blankly at A-Zhu's body not far away and had not yet reacted.
,In the end what happened.
At this time, Okabe Masatsuna had already rode back. He then threw Atake's head, which was still bleeding, into the maids, which immediately caused another scream. One timid maid was frightened and fainted.
In the past, the maids suddenly dispersed, avoiding the deadpan faces of their former friends.
"Say, your noble princess, oh no," Okabe Masatsuna drew the knife in his hand bitterly and asked sternly: "It's Mrs. Yuqiu! It's Chiriden! Where are you now!"
"Ah!!!" the maids screamed and buried their heads in their knees, curling up into a ball and not daring to raise their heads.
"Don't tell me," Okabe Masatsuna seemed to be in an extremely manic mood now. He sneered and chopped down another maid who was kneeling on the ground. The blood suddenly splashed on the grass. The maid screamed.
With one sound, he fell to the ground without saying a word. "If you don't tell me, then all of you will die!"
"House..." A maid still collapsed emotionally under the heavy pressure, tears kept pouring out of her eyes, and her body was shaking violently. She pointed tremblingly at a residence in the distance to the east, and could no longer say anything.
Words come.
"Second Young Master," at this time, a mature and solemn warrior whispered, "killing the maid of Her Royal Highness without permission... is really a bit out of line. The Yu Qiu family has not yet been convicted of the crime, not to mention that even if Yu Qiuping is punished by Ming Zhengdian, the young master
Heshou Guini Palace may not pursue the princess everywhere. This..."
"Just kill someone and silence them." Okabe Masatsuna's eyes were completely red. Hatred and jealousy had caused him to lose his ability to think calmly. Every word seemed to pop out between his teeth. "No one knows what makes us
Killed."
"What about these maids...?" a younger warrior asked expectantly.
"Brothers, please handle it yourself." Okabe Masatsuna sneered, which immediately aroused the cheers of several young samurai, "When it's over, don't forget to leave no one alive."
"Princess." The maid A Ling saw that her companions had not returned for a long time, and she couldn't help but have some ominous premonitions, "Why haven't A Zhu and the others come back yet? Do you want me to go and have a look?"
"No, maybe the information hasn't been sent yet." Imagawa Kaede said casually while lying on the bed behind the screen in the house, looking at the flowers and plants outside the window. Suddenly, there was a pleasant sound of wind chimes outside the window.
"If there's nothing else, please step back first. When you pass by the corridor, help me tell the guard at the door that I want to see last year's income and expenditure account book." After Imagawa Kaede told Aling to step back,
He looked out the window to himself again.
"Yes, princess." A Ling Yingying bowed and then withdrew. She has also been a maid with Imagawa Kaede for several years and understands the habit of her princess - she likes to work in bed.
"Perhaps we should go to the market to buy some delicious food for the princess to relieve her boredom?" A Ling thought as she walked, "It's just that the market in the territory has not been open since yesterday, and I don't know why."
After Ah Ling finished talking to the guard at the door, she walked towards the market. However, law enforcement officers from several territories actually blocked the roads leading to the market today, which really made her confused. Market
There were many vendors and residents who came to the market outside the city, but they were all blocked outside.
"Really, you're so good, what are you doing?" Ah Ling muttered, "Wait until I go back and talk to the princess and tell her to take good care of Judge Crow's men, they are all mysterious!"
However, as soon as A-Ling walked a few hundred meters away from her residence, she heard the sound of rapid horse hoofbeats coming from the west. She instinctively thought that it was A-Zhu who had come back to report the news. However, the intensive sound of horse hoofbeats soon
rejected this view.
"Could it be that His Highness is back?" A Ling was suddenly surprised, "Is the battle over? Is he finally back to accompany the princess?" She excitedly jumped up to a haystack on the roadside and looked to the west, but she was stunned for a moment.
The ground - that is the flag of the Okabe family.
When she realized the danger was coming and came to her senses, the cavalry team had already rushed to the residence.
"Princess!" Ah Ling didn't realize at all what she, a weak woman, could do. She just ran towards her residence. "Be sure to be okay!"
At this time, inside the residence.
Okabe Masatsuna led a dozen warriors into the residence in a mighty manner, and the weak wooden door of the residence was kicked open. After several maids and servants on the corridor saw the menacing dozen of warriors, they
They were all so frightened that they fled in all directions. The noises inside and outside also obviously alarmed Imagawa Kaede in the inner room. She seemed to be about to ask what happened, when A Ling suddenly opened the back door and rushed in.
"Princess! Let's go! Let's go now!" A Ling stepped forward to help Imagawa Kaede without any explanation, "The Okabe family is here! There are more than a dozen warriors on horses! Let's go quickly, princess! They must be coming.
Caught you!"
As soon as Aling helped Imagawa Kaede out of bed, she rushed to another compartment in the corner - she vaguely remembered that there were several samurai swords inside. Although she didn't know how to use the sword, at the critical moment, in order to protect her princess
, she felt that she would definitely fight to the death!
"Don't go there!" Imakawa Kaede suddenly shouted harshly, startling A Ling. She turned around in confusion. Although Imakawa Kaede's eyes were full of panic, there was a calmness that reassured her.
"Come to me." Imakawa Kaede ordered without any doubt. A Ling was stunned for a moment and hurriedly ran to Imakawa Kaede. However, just as she was about to help Imakawa Kaede leave, the door to the inner room was violently opened.
The ground was kicked open. Okabe Masatsuna, who was covered in blood, was holding a blood-stained katana and staring at Imagawa Kaede with eyes burning with jealousy and hatred. Behind him, there were more than a dozen fully armed men.
Most of the Okabe family samurai are the followers that Okabe Masatsuna usually brings, and naturally they all understand the subtle relationship between Okabe Masatsuna and Imagawa Kaede.
The air suddenly became quiet, and no one spoke inside or outside the room. Only Imagawa Kaede and Okabe Masatsuna looked at each other silently. The blood dripping from Okabe Masatsuna's samurai sword, dripping, dripping.
on the floor.
Staring into Imagawa Kaede's breathtaking eyes again, Okabe Masatsuna was quickly defeated. Although those beautiful eyes were flashing with fear and surprise, they were filled with self-esteem that was neither humble nor arrogant. He looked away.
, with a somewhat hoarse voice, whispered: "Princess, we meet again."
However, Imagawa Kaede did not respond to his words, and just sighed slightly. She turned around, looked at the shivering A Ling beside her, and patted her shoulder numbly, with a trace of pain and pain in her eyes.
Apologizing, she said softly: "My silly A-ling, you shouldn't have come back."
