When Yu Qiuping slowly walked to a hill to the east of Maple Leaf Mountain City, he discovered the figure of a young woman. She was kneeling on the grave, seeming to be mumbling to herself. The breeze blew and the green hair beside her ears was stirred.
, and also made the kimono on her body wrap more tightly around her slightly thin figure.
Needless to say, that must be Aichi. The hill where she was kneeling was the place where Yu Qiupei buried Asai Nagamasa last year. Due to Yu Qiupei's almost crazy attitude, Oda Nobunaga's original "Human Bone Wine Glass" plan was forced to
With restraint, Asai Nagamasa was able to be buried intact. Yu Qiuping originally wanted to bury him in Omi, but Oda Nobunaga did not allow such behavior. In desperation, Yu Qiuping had to choose his tomb in Maple Leaf Mountain Castle.
around so that he and Asai and his daughter could visit from time to time - apart from them, no one in this world would come to visit Asai Nagamasa anymore.
Yu Qiuping walked slowly to the grave. Ah Shi, who was kneeling on the grave, seemed to hear the footsteps behind him, but did not look back. Instead, when Yu Qiuping came to the side, he whispered: "Brother Hongye, you
Do you come every day too?"
"Yes, I went to Ming Dynasty for a few months, and I haven't come to see Nagamasa for a long time." Yu Qiuping knelt beside Ashi, looked at Asai Nagamasa's tomb, and whispered, "I heard that you last year
After I got better a few years ago, I came to visit Nagamasa every day."
"Yes." Ah Shi uttered this word in a low voice, and the sadness on that world-famous face was enough to break the hearts of all the people in the world. "I miss him all the time. Sometimes he comes several times a day, but still
Miss him so much..."
As he spoke, tears still rolled in the eyes of this woman who had been crying for almost a year. "He is a fool, he is the worst villain in the world. He abandoned me, his three precious daughters and his
My son, he left alone. Does he know how much we miss him? Does he know how much the children want to have a meal with him again, and how much they want him to coax them to sleep again..."
"He doesn't know anything. In his heart, he only has his bright righteousness and his martial arts morality. Is his righteousness really that important..." As he spoke, Ah Shi had already burst into tears. He put his hand on the tombstone and felt aggrieved.
He sobbed, "If I had known you were such a bad guy, why would you have been so nice to me in the first place, causing me to fall in love with you and never forget you for the rest of my life, but now you have abandoned me..."
As the matchmaker for the marriage between Ashi and Asai Nagamasa, Yu Qiuping watched them all the way and understood how deep their relationship was. He also understood that any comfort he offered at this moment was in vain. This loss of his beloved
The pain can only be slowly healed by Ah Shi himself.
But in such an occasion, Yu Qiuping couldn't bear to see Ah Shi feel sad alone. After thinking about it, he suddenly said for no reason: "Actually...how can that idiot not understand your feelings for him?"
"If you really understand, why did you leave in such a hurry and refuse to stay with us for one more day?" Ah Shi shook his head, the expression on his face looked uncomfortable.
"People always have to leave this world. You said, if Nagamasa could stay with you for one more day, for example, if you get married one day earlier, would you feel any difference?"
"It won't happen..." Ah Shi didn't know why Yu Qiuping suddenly asked this question, so he replied with some hesitation.
"What about two more days?" Yu Qiuping asked another question.
Ah Shi shook his head and said nothing.
"What about five days?"
Ah Shi still shook his head.
"What if it's one year?" Yu Qiuping suddenly stretched out the time.
Ah Shi thought for a moment this time and nodded seriously, "It will be different every year."
"Then why is there no difference in five days? But there is a difference in a year? What is the critical time point in between? Can you tell me?"
If other people had talked to her about these things when she was so sad, Ah Shi would have politely responded with a few words and left. But the person who was talking to her about these things was her closest friend besides her husband.
Brother Hongye made her start thinking about what Yu Qiuping wanted to express.
"Maybe it's because..." Ah Shi pondered for a long time before replying in a low voice, "In one year, he can do something meaningful. Maybe I can convince him to treat his family well and just live in peace.
Get through it."
"Yes, Ah Shi, you also said that the time in life itself is not special. One more day and one less day will not have any impact. But if time can be used to do meaningful things, it will be different." Yu Qiuping
He sighed with emotion and said, "For Nagamasa, his ideal is to protect the bright justice of the world and the morality of the warriors. If he dies for this, his life will be meaningful. Otherwise, no matter how long he lives,
How long it takes, it will be nothing more than a wasted time for him."
"But isn't it meaningful to spend time with my family? Isn't it meaningful to accompany our daughter and son to grow up together, and to grow old with me? Isn't it meaningful to be a warrior only to have lofty aspirations?
?" Ah Shi whispered sadly, "Why is this..."
"Nangzheng is such a kind and gentle person, so why wouldn't he want to spend a beautiful and happy life with you? If he was just a farmer, he would definitely enjoy family happiness with you." Yu Qiuping shook his head.
Shaking his head, he suddenly remembered what Tokugawa Ieyasu said to him before, and actually felt that his words made some sense, "But as a samurai, your responsibilities are different from those of civilians. Not only does Nagamasa hope that you can have a happy life,
He hopes that all families in the world can be like this. He wants a peaceful and prosperous age, wants to end the cycle of chaos, and wants a world of long-term peace and order. So that all fathers can accompany their children to grow up and their wives to grow old.
So that you, mother and daughter, can live with peace of mind in a world where there will never be war again. This is his wish, the wish of a samurai."
Listening to Yu Qiuping's words in his ears, Ah Shi's crystal clear tears slowly fell down his cheeks again, dripping on the land in front of him, leaving a few small black spots on the soil, and slowly filtering into the earth.
"Then I would rather he be a commoner..." Ashi sobbed and whispered, "He is a commoner, and Nagamasa only belongs to our family. If he is a samurai, he belongs to everyone in the world."
"Brother Hongye, thank you. Ashi understands and finally understands him." Ashi gently wiped his tears with his small hands, slowly put out the drinks and other sacrifices he brought, and returned them to Asai Nagamasa.
He put a wreath in front of his grave and whispered softly: "I always blamed him in my heart before, but now I finally understand why he was so heartless."
"Why did you bring so much wine?" After Yu Qiuping saw Ah Shi take out a large bottle of wine from the package, he suddenly raised the wine glass that Ah Shi had placed on the ground, gestured towards Ah Shi, and smiled.
He said, "It's enough to bring this much. That guy Nagamasa will choke and collapse after drinking just this amount. He wants to
I'm drunk, so I can't look at you in the sky all day long."
"Pfft." Ashi covered her mouth and smiled at Yu Qiuping's joke, and suddenly she was stunned for a moment. This was the first time she smiled since Asai Nagamasa left in almost a year.
"It's been a long time since you laughed." Yu Qiuping looked at Ah Shi with a smile, and encouraged him with a smile, "You have to live well, you still have three daughters and a son. Whether it's for yourself,
For them, or for the sake of Changzheng in heaven, you have to live well, Ashi. Because the world Changzheng strives for is a peaceful and prosperous era where all mothers and children can live a happy life. As long as you are happy, you can start a new life.
If you love life, Nagamasa’s efforts will not be in vain.”
"Yes." Ah Shi smiled with tears in her eyes, looked at Yu Qiuping, and then at the cold stone tablet. For a moment, she seemed to see the image of Asai Nagamasa emerging in front of her, looking at her with a smile.
Whispered to himself:
"Ashi, you are so beautiful."
"I love you."
·
In this way, Yu Qiuping and Ashi developed an unspoken tacit understanding. They would stay in front of Asai Nagamasa's grave for a while every morning and chat for a while. Gradually, this time has become an indispensable part of their lives.
Until one day, when Ah Shi came, he found that Yu Qiuping was already staying in front of the tomb. Since Imagawa Feng liked to sleep in, Yu Qiuping often slept with her for a while, and came later than Ah Shi every time.
"Brother Hongye, why are you here so early today?" Ah Shi put down the basket in his hand and turned his head and asked.
"I have guests coming to visit later. I don't know when we will talk about it, so I have to come earlier." Yu Qiuping replied while taking care of the current Buddhist niche for Asai Nagamasa.
"Why does the guest want to talk for so long?" When Ah Shi asked casually, he suddenly felt a little offended, so he added in a low voice, "If Brother Hongye feels it is inconvenient, you don't have to tell Ah Shi."
"It's okay, Ah Shi is one of our own." Yu Qiuping smiled and shook his head, "He is from Tosa, the younger brother of Gui Ruozi, and I am a close relative of Xiang Zong."
"A Tosa man? What's he doing here?" Ah Shi was stunned when he heard this, and replied with some confusion.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend." Yu Qiuping finished his tidying up work, stood up slowly, and replied as he turned to leave, "Obviously I came here for the Sanhao family."
In fact, in this time and space, even though the Miyoshi family has been greatly strengthened, the Chosogabe family can still establish a firm foothold in Tosa, which surprises Yu Qiupei. This is partly because the Oda family continues to put enough pressure on the Miyoshi family in Kinki.
, the Miyoshi family had to frequently consume a large amount of troops and food to cross the sea for support. On the other hand, when the Miyoshi family conducted a raid in the rear of Kinki, the targets they chose were Iyo, Harima, and Settsu instead of Tosa. And there were also
One reason is that Shikoku Island is covered with mountains, making it difficult to attack. Every time the Miyoshi family tried to attack the Chosogabe family, Chosogabe Motochin's strategy was to try to delay the spring plowing and autumn harvest. The Miyoshi family was surrounded by enemies on all sides.
It was difficult to mobilize a large army to attack Tosa, so we had to give up.
However, as Oda Nobunaga focused his attention on Hokuriku and Sanin Road, the Mori family also formed an alliance with the Miyoshi family. After many years, the Miyoshi family finally had the opportunity to free up their hands and solve the problem of Shikoku Island.
.The Changzong family is also about to face disaster.
