"You! Yuqiu Hongye! I know you are very strong! You have unparalleled abilities!" Oda Nobunaga suddenly raised his voice, "I don't care if you are from the ferry, or if you fought to death with Yu before, no matter what you do
Status! As long as you are willing to follow Yu and work hard, Yu will promote you! Yu will only promote you, regardless of your background! As long as you are willing to dedicate your loyalty to me, you can show off your skills and ambitions, and Yu will never impose on you.
Intervene and create your own legacy! Don’t worry about the villain’s gossip!”
These words were so passionate that every word fell directly into Yu Qiuping's heart, making him feel a surge of emotion: "A scholar will die for his confidant." Yes, what he has always longed for is to be loved by others.
As everyone admits, you can go out and do something big without being tied down!
"I know! You have never dreamed of killing the traitor who killed your family governor!" Oda Nobunaga sternly said, "I promise you that as long as you contribute to the Oda family, when one day I attack Junfu,
I will tell you who the traitor is! Let you execute him personally! Then you will get your wish!"
It turns out that Oda Nobunaga did not doubt me... He was just worried that I would be embarrassed to express my desire for revenge...
"You once said that I was a hero of the Warring States Period! So! Are you willing to dedicate your loyalty to me?" Oda Nobunaga asked urgently without giving Yu Qiupei time to think.
His words seemed to have a hypnotic magic power - somewhat similar to the appeal of the heads of state of the later Third Reich, making people unable to help but follow his logic.
"I am willing to devote my loyalty to the Oda family!" Yu Qiuping blurted out - the words he had prepared long ago, but when he said them, there was an extra emotion - an emotion that even confused Yu Qiuping.

When he walked out of the inner room, the handle of the ribs knife he had just held was still hot.
Yu Qiuping touched the rib lightly, but did not dare to touch it again. Everything that happened just now was a bit unreal.
Didn’t I want to... kill him?
·
After Yu Qiuping left, in the inner room.
"Everyone, come out." Oda Nobunaga sat down, took out the folding fan from his waist, and knocked on the tatami.
Behind the screen in the inner room, Lin Xiuzhen and three heavily armed ninjas walked out.
"Sado, are you worried too much?" Oda Nobunaga smiled disdainfully, "He also specifically asked Ma Zhongzhong not to search for Yuqiu Hongye's ribs, and asked Yu to deliberately use 'revenge' to defraud him, and then he would
Round out your words."
"No," Oda Nobunaga spread his hands, "Yuqiu Hongye has no dissent at all. After being threatened by me, he never tried to assassinate or kidnap Yu. He just became disheartened after being exiled and came to join us, hoping that one day
Can he avenge his father-in-law?"
As Oda Nobunaga spoke, he untied the wine gourd from his waist, flicked open the cork, drank the wine in the gourd with his neck raised, smacked his lips with endless aftertaste, and smiled at Lin Xiuzhen: "What are you doing?
All the arrangements are made to show the blind man the eye."
"Maybe I'm overly worried." Lin Xiuzhen bowed and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me."
"Innocent, innocent, go down quickly, there will be an evaluation meeting later." Oda Nobunaga waved his hand, "In the future, stop focusing on the rebellion of your colleagues. Trust me in judging people."
"Never missed it." He raised his head, a flash of pride flashing in his eyes.

On the evening of July 20, a review meeting for the entire Oda family was held on the first floor of the Qingshu Castle Castle Tower. Samurai with the rank of general or above came from all over Owari for the meeting. The goal of this meeting seemed to be
On the one hand, it is for Yu Qiuping to meet with everyone, and on the other hand, it is to discuss future strategic principles - this is obviously a very critical meeting.
After Yu Qiuping came down from the castle attic, there was still some time before the meeting. The brightly lit conference room was larger than the conference room in Sunpu Castle, but the decoration was far less elegant than that in Sunpu Castle.
But it seems a bit rustic.
Under the guidance of Xiao Xing, Yu Qiuping sat where he should sit - that is, the position of the general. Beside him, there was a person who had already sat down. That person was obviously not young anymore, almost forty years old.
His appearance is also somewhat vicissitudes of life, with a standard samurai Tsukiyo haircut. The samurai uniform on his body is dark brown, and it is obvious that it has faded and turned white after being washed too many times. The samurai's facial features are
Kong Wu was powerful and had an innate solemnity in his expression. Even though there was no one in the lobby, he sat straight and straight, making Yu Qiuping stand in awe when he first saw him.
"It's Yu Qiuping, I wonder what I call His Highness?" Yu Qiuping saw that since he was sitting with her, he must be a general, so he used the respectful title.
The man was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw the red leaf shawl on Yu Qiupei's shoulders. He bowed his hands and said, "It's okay with Shimomori Sanzaemon."
"So it's His Highness Mori? He is indeed well-deserved." Yu Qiuping looked at Mori Katsunari's upright sitting posture and admired sincerely. Mori Katsunari was also a great samurai in history. He followed Oda Nobunaga in the north and south, and he was quite popular.
However, in the battle with the Asai Asakura family, he unfortunately died because he was outnumbered while defending the city. It is worth mentioning that he also had four sons, all of whom would fight to the death for the Oda family in the future.
, he can be said to be a loyal and righteous general in his family. Based on this alone, Yu Qiuping was impressed by his character.
"Your Highness Hongye's reputation for benevolence and righteousness is known to the world, but I am ashamed of it." Sen Kecheng didn't say much, he just raised his hands and praised him. When Yu Qiuping saw that his attitude was so friendly, he returned the favor politely: "Where is it?
, His Highness Sen is so complimentary! How can I be worthy of such a title?"
Yu Qiuping originally thought that a seemingly unsociable person like Sen Kecheng might just say a few words of humility and end the conversation. However, to his surprise, after hearing his return greeting, Sen Kecheng
But he frowned, and an unhappy look appeared on his face.
Yu Qiuping didn't understand why his well-intentioned modesty actually caused the latter's displeasure. However, after a while, Sen Kecheng's expression still didn't improve, and it seemed that he was even a little angry. Yu Qiuping didn't want to stalemate the relationship, so he was careful
He opened his mouth and said: "I don't know why Your Highness is angry? But where did I offend Your Highness?"
Sen Kecheng frowned, and after hesitating for a while, he still said in a low voice: "Your Highness Hongye, you must know that I never praise others easily."
Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
"Your Majesty, I admire you very much for helping the victims regardless of the enemy or the enemy," Sen Kecheng explained in a low voice with a hoarse voice. "I sincerely express my admiration to you. There is no need for polite words.
answer."
Sen Kecheng, in the original history, was such an upright man. He didn't talk much and was not good at communication. Every word that came out of his mouth was heartfelt. Because of this, he who was not tactful enough did not understand
He seized the opportunity and just quietly did what he should do. He did not achieve success like Hashiba Hideyoshi, but his loyalty and reliability still won him the trust of Oda Nobunaga - and he finally gave back to that man with his own death.
The grace of knowing and meeting.
"It's true that I'm being hypocritical," Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I'm just trying to keep you company, and I will definitely not do this in the future."
"My words are a bit rude, please don't blame Your Highness Yuqiu." Sen Kecheng shook his head and said that he would not take it to heart.
"I heard that His Highness Sen is from Meinong?" Yu Qiuping asked.
"Yes, from Mino Uguri County." Mori Kashige replied.
"Your Highness, do you often miss home when you are living abroad?" Yu Qiuping asked casually.
"Of course I will." Sen Kecheng sighed and said, "When His Majesty the Governor takes Meinong, he must go back to his hometown to have a good look. It's been almost ten years since we last saw each other..."
As he talked, he also touched on Yu Qiuping's sadness. How could he be wandering in a foreign land? First he left his world, left China, and came to this strange continent. He also once lost his mind because he missed his relatives and hometown.
He was tortured to the point of collapse. He finally adapted to Suruga, made a group of good friends, met two elders who cared for him, had his own home and career, and gradually adapted to Suruga's life.
But he was forced to leave his hometown again - and came to this strange Owari.
"I miss home so much..." Yu Qiuping subconsciously revealed the truth, "I wonder how my parents who are still in the Ming Dynasty are doing... I suddenly disappeared. They must be going crazy with anxiety. They only have me.
A child who has put half of his life's efforts on me..." As he spoke, Yu Qiuping choked up and couldn't continue.
Seeing Yu Qiuping suddenly feel so depressed, Sen Kecheng felt the same way. He stretched out his thick and powerful arm and gently patted Yu Qiuping's shoulder.
"It will pass." He seemed to be a clumsy-tongued man who was not very good at comforting others. "Good luck has its own destiny. Your Majesty, your Majesty's Hall will be fine."
The two of them chatted about their hometown and their homesickness. Sen Kecheng didn't talk much, and Yu Qiuping mainly talked about it. Unconsciously, time gradually passed, and more and more people arrived.
When we arrived at the assessment hall, the assessment meeting was about to be held.
"Your Highness Sen..." Yu Qiuping started to talk about the snow scene in his hometown again, but was suddenly interrupted by Sen Kecheng waving his hand.
"There's no need to be so divided, just call me Sanzaemon." Mori Katsurin shook his head.
"How can that be done?" Yu Qiuping hurriedly objected, "Your Highness is twenty years older than me, and he is already old enough to be my father. How can we be equals?"
"How about..." Yu Qiuping thought about it for a moment, "How about I call you Senior Sen?"
Sen Kecheng was stunned for a moment, and there was actually some emotion on Gujing Mubo's face, and he nodded in approval of the title.
·
Suddenly, the moment Yu Qiuping turned his head, he suddenly felt that he might have missed something important. He hurriedly looked back, only to see a few warriors walking into the venue, headed by a sturdy figure.
Big man.
"Did I see it wrong?" Yu Qiuping shook his head, trying to expel the random thoughts from his mind - but suddenly he was stunned.
He once again set his sights on the burly man. Although he was not very tall, he was really burly.
Looks so familiar…
To be continued...
