Just when Morita Exiang was struggling, Yu Qiuping had already hurried over with his guards.
"Your Highness, Hatakeyama, the traitor Yusa Nobuyo has been captured by my ninjas and is now being held in his mansion. This is His Highness's family matter. Please go and interrogate him personally later."
"Religious?" Hatakeyama Takamasa was stunned when he heard this, "Why do you want to arrest religious believers? Why do you arrest my retainers without permission?"
"If you don't catch him, he will run away." Yu Qiuping spread his hands, indicating that he had absolutely no intention of offending, and said with a very apologetic smile, "Our ninja found out that he had contact with the ninjas of the Mihaoshi family, and then fled back to his mansion.
Our people then followed and first controlled Yuzuo Xinjiao. Then they entered his room and searched, and found a large number of letters corresponding to the Mihaoshi family." Yu Qiuping said while motioning to Longzi to take some of the seized letters.
The letter was handed to Hatakeyama Takamasa, "This traitor, Yusa Shinjiao, is planning to cooperate with the Miyoshi family to kill you, His Highness!"
General Hatakeyama Takamasa took the letters with suspicion and slowly opened them with his injured arm. After reading a few lines, the hand he was using to open the letters began to tremble, and the tremors became more and more severe.
. He never expected that the old minister who had followed him for so many years, the descendant of his Hatakeyama family, would actually do such a thing.
"How unreasonable! This traitor! He is in vain for the kindness my Hatakeyama family has shown him for generations!" Upon seeing this, Hatakeyama Takamasa became furious and threw the letter to the ground, causing the wound on his arm to burst open.
"Your Highness, Hatakeyama, please calm down. I still want to apologize to you." Seeing this, Yu Qiuping hurriedly waved his hand and signaled Morita Aixiang to help Hatakeyama Takamasa. At the same time, he bowed very apologetically and said, "I will discuss it with you before I discuss it with you.
, I privately ordered Tokiwa Bei to march to Wakae City, and also ordered ninjas to protect Inuko."
"It's not your fault. If you hadn't been good at making opinions, I would have been killed by the sword." Hatakeyama Takamasa snorted coldly, seemingly still angry, "Yusa Shinjio..."
"And you! Shang'er, what are you doing?" After Yu Qiuping and Hatakeyama Takamasa finished talking, they immediately turned to Yu Qiu Shang angrily, wishing to slap him immediately. He had just left the water not long ago.
The ninjas from Atomic Sutra learned the whole story - Yu Qiu Shang actually ran alone among dozens of Miyoshi family ninjas to save people.
"Father." Yu Qiu Shang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and lowered his head in shame, "Didn't Father say that this is my unique life?"
"I'm telling you, don't feel inferior because of your disability. You only have one life, and this is your unique life. Yes, that's what I said!" Yu Qiuping paused, took a deep breath, and scolded in a low voice: "
But I’m not telling you to do whatever you want!”
"Isn't a life of arbitrary behavior also a life? Since you only have one life, there is no difference between good and bad." Yu Qiu Shang was originally convinced by the Water Atom Scripture, but after all, he was a rebellious child and was scolded by his father like this.
Still couldn't help but talk back.
"Master Yuqiu." Kentaro Tian Shen, who was standing aside, nodded slightly when he saw this, and said angrily: "You know in your heart that what you did is wrong, so why do you need to be so strong? Go back and think about it! If you can't think about it,
If you are clear, just think slowly!”
In the past two years, Yu Qiu Shang saw this was the first time that Tian Shen Kentaro was so angry. He hurriedly kept silent and stopped talking. Although Yu Qiuping was still angry, he was really worried after hearing that his eldest son was missing just now. Now he saw
The child was safe and sound, so he couldn't help but feel soft and wanted to go down and hug the child. But on second thought, and because of his father's face, he just patted him on the head and said nothing more.
"You are so willful. Please don't cause trouble to His Highness Hatakeyama when you are here in the future." After hesitating for a moment, Yu Qiuping still warned him in a low voice.
"Where could there be trouble? If Mr. Yuqiu hadn't come this time and delayed it for a while, we would have been dead." Morita Yixiang saw Yu Qiu Shang being killed.
Yu Qiuping felt a little aggrieved and couldn't help but speak up, "Although Mr. Yu Qiu is a bit reckless, my courage and loyalty are incomparable. Isn't His Highness Zhibu secretly having fun?"
"You won't cause me any trouble in the future..." Hatakeyama Takamasa, who was sitting aside, was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed twice and said, "Uqiu Zhibu, when you leave Wakae City this time, you will
Take Yu Qiu Shang back with you. I don’t want him to be a hostage here anymore.”
"Huh?" Yu Qiuping was surprised rather than happy when he heard this, and asked hurriedly: "Why is Your Highness like this? I think Meng Lang's behavior this time must have made His Highness unhappy! I am here to apologize to you!"
"No, on the contrary, I can't help you, Amakijibu." Hatakeyama Takamasa smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "You left your eldest son with me as a hostage, but I can't even protect him.
Well, I had to rely on him to rescue me, causing him to almost fall into danger. How can I have the nerve to continue to let you be a hostage after such a failure of responsibility? "
"But... there are no hostages. Even if His Highness doesn't think too much, the people under His Highness will probably be worried... worried that I will take back the power of the court?" Yu Qiuping added still hesitantly, not wanting to see the system he worked so hard to collapse.
"If you really want to take it, wouldn't now be a great time? Just take your son away and detain us all. How can you have any scruples? Could it be that we have three or four injured guards?
, can you still hold you and the eldest son of the Yuqiu family hostage against the Yuqiu family's army?" Hatakeyama Takamasa snorted with some disdain, "And this time, in a crisis situation, you immediately led the guards outside the door alone.
Asking for an audience is enough to show your sincerity. Since you have always treated me with sincerity, how can I be at a disadvantage?"
"This..." Yu Qiuping is still hesitant. After all, with the nationalization of the territory of the small wealthy family, the means that Hatakeyama Takamasa has to check and balance Yu Qiuping are already stretched. If even the hostages are returned to him, the original balance will be destroyed.
Destruction. And although it was Hatakeyama Takamasa who took the initiative to return the hostages, the outside world will always suspect that Yu Qiuping took advantage of this turmoil to snatch back the eldest son.
"This child will become a great person in the future, so train him well." Hatakeyama Takamasa didn't say much, he just smiled at Yu Qiuping - this was the first time Yu Qiuping saw Hatakeyama Takamasa showing such a kind expression.
"Staying here with me is just a waste of time."
At this point, Yu Qiuping could no longer object, and immediately thanked Yu Qiu Shang together. Morita Exiang glanced at Yu Qiu Shang, and when he realized that the young master he had protected for several years was about to leave, his eyes actually showed up.
Reluctant to leave.
"Master Yuqiu, I won't protect you from now on, so you must take care of yourself." Morita Yixiang hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Don't do such reckless things again."
"I will keep Morita-sama's teachings in mind." Yu Qiu Shang bowed to Morita Eixiang with great respect and thanked him, "I have been taking care of you over the past few years. I am very grateful."
"And you, Yasho." Hatakeyama Takamasa looked at Morita Yasho and called in a low voice. Morita Yasho turned around, looked at Hatakeyama Takamasa, and immediately sweated like rain, and hurriedly knelt down.
He kowtowed and said, "I have put my lord in danger! He deserves to die! My lord wants to be killed or beheaded, so I will never say a word!"
"As long as you have this awareness, then now, you are no longer a retainer of the Hatakeyama family." Hatakeyama Takamasa's flat words made Morita Yoshiho, a man in fine clothes, tremble all over his body. The punishment of exile,
For this loyal minister, it was more despair than execution.
"Continue to follow Mr. Yuqiu and be his bodyguard." Hatakeyama Takamasa looked at Morita Yasho's figure, and his tone became a little loving, "Protect him well. This is what I, as your lord, will give you.
The last order."

This time if Ruojiang City is in crisis, due to Yu Qiu Shang and Yu
Akihira's timely response saved the day. Afterwards, Nobuyo Yusa was executed on the order of Hatakeyama Takamasa, and all the retainers of the Yusa family were exiled. The secret letter that Nobuyo Yusa colluded with the Miyoshi family to murder Hatakeyama Takamasa was also made public. However, Hatakeyama Masayori
He didn't know anything about this matter - it seems that Yuzuo Xinjiao didn't pay attention to this puppet at all, so he was not punished.
After that, in order to avoid rumors from spreading, Hatakeyama Takamasa publicly announced that it was his choice to release Yu Qiu Shang, and he was not forced by Yu Qiuping.
But even so, Miyoshi Yoshihide, who failed in the assassination, still made a big fuss about it. In the news he spread, he bluntly admitted that the Miyoshi family planned to assassinate Hatakeyama Takamasa. However, he said that Yu Qiuping had already noticed this.
plan, so so many ninjas were deployed in Wakae City, so Tokiwa Bei could arrive in such a short time. Yu Qiupei deliberately did not notify Hatakeyama Takamasa, just to kill people with borrowed swords, and then kill the ninjas of the Miyoshi family to obtain
The righteous duty to avenge Hatakeyama Takamasa.
However, things did not develop as Yu Qiuping did. His son Yu Qiu Shang was not as sinister and cunning as Yu Qiuping. Instead, he came to help and rescued Hatakeyama Gaomasa. Yu Qiuping had no choice but to go with the flow and took the opportunity to gather troops and enter Ruojiang City.
Under military pressure, Hatakeyama Takamasa had no choice but to release Yu Qiu Shang, and was forced by Yu Qiuping to publicly declare that it was his own choice.
Rumors that are all lies are not terrible, because people with a discerning eye can see their flaws at a glance. The most terrible rumors are precisely those rumors that combine falsehood and truth. On the one hand, Yoshihide Miyoshi admitted his assassination, but on the other hand, he revealed a lot
Behind the scenes details, this rumor really spread widely.
However, I don’t know if Oda Nobunaga believed this rumor and actually sent someone to commend Yu Qiuping for his act of snatching back his eldest son. Even though Yu Qiuping explained the truth of the matter many times to the sent mothers, the mothers did not know.
They all smiled but said nothing, leaving Yu Qiuping helpless.
However, in the final analysis, Yu Qiuping's reputation is so good that even Miyoshi Yoshihide's rhetoric did not have a big impact on him. Yu Qiuping and Imagawa Kaede's family are also immersed in the relationship with their long-separated son.
In the happiness of reunion, I didn't care about anything else for a while, but troublesome things soon followed.
Businessmen in Congress and leaders of wealthy families were all deeply shaken by this incident. Whether it was Hatakeyama Takamasa who took the initiative to return the hostages, or whether it was Yu Qiuping who snatched the hostages, the court at this moment has given up on using its strength to restrain Yu Qiuping.
ability, but pinned all checks and balances on the system of separation of powers formulated by Yu Qiuping. Congress suddenly felt deeply isolated and helpless, fearing that Yu Qiuping would soon reach out to their power. In order to respond,
The lower house made a decision to deduct the training budget of Tokiwabei and Naruheibei for the next quarter. The upper house also passed this resolution very decisively, and the training of Tokiwabei and Naruheibei had to be stopped. Even if Yuqiu Pingduo
We sent people to explain and communicate again, and even asked Takamasa Hatakeyama to explain to the Congress in person, but the Congress was indifferent.
While the Yuqiu family and the Congress were arguing over the budget, a young man who should have been the focus of attention at this time was ignored. He was none other than the one who was sent to work together with Yu Qiu Shang.
Yu Qiuyou of Hostage.
His brother could live a free life, but he was forever imprisoned in a birdcage. His brother could make friends, meet masters, and learn skills, but he was always alone. His brother was actually voluntarily released
When we go back, we no longer have to worry about being a hostage, and we no longer have to worry about our safety being threatened due to political tensions. We can go home and reunite, we can see our parents, our brothers and sisters, we can see so many friends, we can go back to the familiar place.
Life.
But Yu Qiuyou has nothing.
He suddenly understood that when his brother was a child, he was jealous of him having two arms. The jealousy was so strong that it was almost resentful.
