The next morning, when Yu Qiupei came to see Ukita Hachiro's situation, he was a little surprised to find that Ukita Hachiro was holding a bamboo sword he didn't know where he got it from and was practicing martial arts with Asahina Taihei. After seeing Yu Qiupei's arrival, Asahina
Taiping immediately dropped the bamboo sword in his hand and saluted Yuqiu. After Yuqiuping returned the gift, his eyes were fixed on the bamboo sword in Ukita Hachiro's hand.
"Your Highness, this should not be against the rules!" Asahina Taihei waved his hand to Yu Qiupei nervously, showing a slightly embarrassed smile.
"Weren't you asked to supervise? Why did you start practicing martial arts? And equipped the person you supervise with weapons?" Yu Qiupei glanced at Asahina Taihei and asked knowingly with a smile.
"Then... isn't this to... relieve the nervousness of the subject of supervision and prevent him from doing excessive behavior? Let him relax!" Asahina Taihei hesitated for a long time, and finally came up with a passable excuse.
"Can you stop turning your head every time when you're looking for an excuse?" Yu Qiupei laughed and knocked Asahina Taihei on the head, and then asked, "When did your relationship become like this?"
alright?"
"His Majesty Momiji..." Ukita Hachiro was about to explain, but Asahina Taihei still said carelessly: "I think this boy has a good understanding, and I have already accepted him as my younger brother! This is the young master of the Uki family, and he has become my younger brother.
, how many opportunities do you have? Come on, boy, call me 'big brother' and come and listen! Your Highness, look... eh?"
Asahina Taihei was stunned as he spoke, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and he looked puzzledly at Yu Qiupei in front of him - the latter suddenly had red eyes.
"Why are your eyes red?"
"Ah... do you want to hear the truth?" Yu Qiuping realized that he had inadvertently lost his composure. He hurriedly raised his hand to rub his eyes and shook his head quickly. His expression had returned to as if nothing had happened.
"Forget it, I won't tell you." Yu Qiuping laughed twice, and then told the curious Asahina Taihei, "I'm here to give you an order to terminate the ban. Next, if Master Yuxi is willing, you can bring him
He went for a walk in the military camp to get some fresh air. But be careful, if anything happens to you I will ask you for questions."
"Really?" Asahina Taihei's eyes immediately glowed, and he immediately threw away his previous doubts.
"Well, you can wander around as you wish." Yu Qiuping waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the camp. He turned around and walked a few steps, then slowly slowed down, quietly listening to the cheers coming from the camp.
and laughter.

In the afternoon, Shimotsui Castle declared its surrender. Yu Qiupei had informed the people in the city late the night before that Ukita Hachiro had been captured, but the defenders did not believe it until they saw the token Ukita Hachiro carried that Yu Qiupei sent. Nagafune Tsunao
He Changzhou Dingxing lost the reason and fighting spirit to resist, so he surrendered in Kaicheng on August 14, the eighth year of Tianzheng (1580). Yu Qiuping also surrendered his troops without any difficulty.
According to the practice of the Yuqiu family, there are differences in the treatment of prisoners of war. Enemy soldiers such as the defenders of Shimojinjing City who wear enemy uniforms and fight openly will not be tortured even if they are captured. For senior samurai, although they will
They will conduct long interrogations, but basically they will not be executed, but will use "peaceful" methods. However, the Yuqiu family is much stricter about ninjas. These ninjas usually wear plain clothes, and many of them mix among civilians.
Li Yuqiuping cited the war regulations in international law he had seen in his previous life and believed that people captured without wearing enemy uniforms cannot enjoy the treatment of prisoners of war. Therefore, the Military Intelligence Department and the Crows have the power to use all means to interrogate
Those plainclothes ninjas and craftsmen. As for those wearing the Yuqiu family's military uniforms, they will not only be severely tortured, but also have the power to execute them in the end. Yu Qiuping tried to use such regulations to deter those who tried to do so in plainclothes.
The ninjas in Yuqiu's uniform came to the event.
After pacifying the entire Bizen army, the Momiji Army went north on August 15, the eighth year of Tensho (1580), preparing to support the friendly forces in Sanin () Road. The Awaji Navy and the Mishima Navy
The fleet was also once again asked to sail to the coast of the Maori family for deterrence. According to the latest intelligence, the Hashiba Army and the Akechi Army have successfully returned to the division under Tottori Castle, bringing together 13,000 Ukita Army, Urakami Army, Yamana Army, and Nizi Army.
Many people were besieged in Tottori Castle. However, the Mori family did not wait any longer. The reinforcements led by Yoshikawa Motoharu had already assembled in the Yatsuhashi Castle area. After the troops from various small wealthy families arrived, they might march eastward to Inaba.
Relieve the siege of Tottori Castle.

On the way back to the north, Ukita Hachiro was not tied up like other prisoners because of his more noble status. Asahina Taihei put Ukita Hachiro, who could not yet ride a horse, on his horse just like he had done when he captured him a few days ago.
The horse carried him forward. But this time, Ukita Hachiro no longer had to be tied up, but could hold the horse's neck comfortably. Asahina Taihei kept talking to Ukita Hachiro about how he was not 18 this year.
Yu Qiupei kept listening to the story of his past "military years" out of curiosity, but was soon made drowsy by Asahina Taihei's poor rhetoric - but Ukita Hachiro listened with great interest - Xiao
Children are so fooled.
"That year in Tosa, the Oni Juga rode into the formation alone and killed our Highness. His Highness abandoned his armor and fled in panic! If I hadn't rushed out in time and stopped the pursuers, Your Highness would have been doomed!"
At this moment, Asahina Taihei was gesturing with his hands constantly, describing to Ukita Hachiro the scene of his heroic savior. Yu Qiupei was ashamed when he heard it in front - Shiga Icun was obviously charging into the battle with hundreds of banners, otherwise Yu Qiupei would not have done it
So embarrassed.
"How can one person do it? Isn't His Royal Highness Hongye's bodyguard very strong?" Ukita Hachiro said the slander in Yu Qiuping's heart, which made Yu Qiuping secretly happy. He turned his head and smiled, a big smile.
Look at how Asahina Taihei smoothes things over.
"Why can't it be done?" Asahina Taihei noticed Amakihei's smile, and immediately raised his voice and said righteously, "Later on the beach in Sanuki Province, Oni Juga stood up to thousands of us by himself.
He and the Red Leaf Fleet fought against the armored ship single-handedly. No one could stop it! No one could match it! Even our Captain Honda was deceived by him! His Highness’s helmet was cut through! If I hadn’t cut it off before.
A stab in his horse's ass bought him time, but His Highness would be finished!"
Asahina Yasuhei's words made Yu Qiupei's face instantly full of black lines - not to mention, that time Juga Icun really single-handedly challenged the entire Red Leaf Army and the entire Red Leaf Fleet, and almost defeated Yu Qiupei in front of tens of thousands of people.
Killed.
"Captain Honda?" Ukita Hachiro's focus is obviously different from Yu Qiupei's, "It's that...that...unparalleled in the world! Honda Heihachiro Tadakatsu!"
"Of course! There is only one martial artist in the world, and Heihachiro has all the eight fights! He is talking about our captain!" When mentioning Honda Tadakatsu, Asahina Taihei immediately beat his chest enthusiastically like a die-hard fan and shouted.
Yu Qiuping smiled when he heard this, and glanced at Honda Tadakatsu, who was half a horse behind him. The latter seemed not to hear, leaning against Dragonfly Kiri with his arms folded, meticulously alert to the surroundings.
situation.
"Such a powerful person! Why can't you stop Juga Icun?" Ukita Hachiro opened his eyes very curiously, "Is Juga Icun the strongest?"
"Then...how could that be possible?" Asahina Taihei was a little embarrassed because of the contradiction in his words. In order to brag about his achievements, he had just described Toga Ichitomi as being extremely powerful, but this overshadowed Honda's
Tadakatsu's limelight. "That Tokawa Ichipon was playing tricks and deliberately avoiding our captain by not blocking! If he fights in an upright manner, he will definitely not be our captain's opponent!"
"No." Honda Tadakatsu, who had been silent just now, suddenly said in a deep voice, "That day he was on the horse and I was under the horse. I was not sure of victory. Even if we fight head-on, the success or failure is still there.
Between five and five.”
"Well... the captain said so, so that's it." Asahina Taihei blushed and scratched his head, but fortunately, Ukita Hachiro, who was sitting in front of him, did not show any disappointed expression, but looked at Honda Tadashi with an expression of admiration.
win.
"Our captain is always so strict and cannot tolerate any sloppiness." Asahina Taihei muttered behind Ukita Hachiro in a low voice, "When he teaches us martial arts on weekdays, he is also very strict."
"Hey! Can eldest brother practice martial arts with such a powerful samurai?" Ukita Hachiro asked with envy, his eyes filled with little stars.
"That's right, I am the third disciple of our captain!" Asahina Taihei noticed Ukita Hachiro's admiration and immediately boasted proudly.
"Hey, what about the eldest disciple and the second disciple?" Children always have endless questions.
"Well... the eldest disciple is a sister, a very gentle and beautiful sister, but... she is no longer here." Asahina Taihei, who was so proud just now, suddenly weakened and spoke very slowly. As they walked,
Yu Qiuping and Honda Tadakatsu in front were startled when they heard this. Honda Tadakatsu adjusted his sitting posture in an imperceptible amount, while Yu Qiuping felt his nose was sore and his eyes were a little red.
"The second disciple is Mori-senpai, Mori Kolong-sama. He used to be the deputy captain of our guard, and now he is the governor of the Mori family!" Asahina Taihei announced the second name, but his "Mori-senpai" made Yu Qiuping
My nose is even more sore.
"The third disciple is me!" Asahina Taihei is really an optimistic samurai, exactly like his father. The sadness just now has been forgotten by him now.
"Hmm -" At this time, Mori Nagako, who was riding beside Asahina Taihei, suddenly made a long nasal noise. Asahina Yaihei turned around and saw that Mori Nagako was imitating Honda Tadakatsu's embrace of Dragonfly Kiri.
Action, holding his own human bone at an angle. Morinagako saw Hina Taihei looking over, and raised his chin at him provocatively.
Chapter completed!
