On November 12, 1563, the sixth year of Yonglu, outside the castle of Otani, Kitaomi.
Because Yu Qiuhei had an old relationship with the Asai family, he came to Kitaohong as an envoy sent by Oda Nobunaga to establish a marriage alliance. Walking on the way, he suddenly felt a little strange, why did he seem to be a matchmaker? The previous alliance between the Oda family and the Matsue family was the thread he had joined, which also led to the marriage between Oda Wude and the future Matsue Nobuya. This time, the alliance between the Oda family and the Asai family was the same, and he wanted to promote the marriage between Asai Nagamasa and Oda City.
He suddenly had a brainwalk. If he appeared in the later game "Nobunaga's Ambition", would he learn a skill of "diplomacy"? Will the "intellectual" column be given very high?
As Yu Qiuhei thought about it, he thought of the broken brothers of Ikeda Hengxing crying in tears at that time, and couldn't help laughing a few times. He had seen Ashi, and he could indeed be called a beautiful woman who was so beautiful that she could melt the hearts of the whole country. If he was just looking, he was already comparable to Imakawa Kaede. However, Imakawa Kaede and Oda City seemed to have taken two different routes. Imakawa Kaede would be more independent and mature, like a grand and elegant noble princess. Ashi was simple and cute, like a girl next door who had just started to fall in love. In this Warring States Period, the general orientation was still the "Lolita" of the Maeda Taki family. Therefore, whenever Yu Qiuhei argued with everyone about whether Imakawa Kaede or Oda City was more beautiful, all his companions stood on the side of Oda City - although they really had to admit that Imakawa Kaede was indeed very beautiful.
However, Oda City, who is only 16 years old, has an incomparable figure with Imagawa Kaede, which has made Yu Qiuhei's heart look much more balanced. Imagawa Kaede's figure and appearance also made many of Yu Qiuhei's brothers drool. Ikeda Yoshikyo even said after drinking, "I saw your wife, I'll hand you over." Such a tragic joke was easily beaten by Yu Qiuhei.
However, when Oda Mayor grew up, his grace will definitely not be inferior to Imagawa Kaede, and he deserves the most beautiful woman in the Warring States Period. No wonder the young Oda samurai, Hirokkai, all of them sat in the dream of "toads eating swan meat", hoping that Princess Ashi could marry her.
Just as Yu Qiuping was thinking about it, the white horse pipa sitting down suddenly became restless. Then, a whistle sounded in the distance. The pipa immediately ignored Yu Qiuping's order and ran towards the west. Yu Qiuping had no choice but to just hold the horse's neck of Pipa and follow it all the way.
After running for about ten seconds, another "典" sounded in my ears. The pipa immediately stopped knowingly, and Yu Qiuping was finally able to take a breath.
"Brother, long time no see!" A familiar and kind voice came, and Yu Qiuping also smiled and straightened up from the horse's back.
"Changzheng, long time no see!" Looking at Nagamasa Asai who came out of the city ten miles to greet him, Yu Qiuping felt an indescribable touch in his heart.
·
"It's been five years since I left, and the Pipa still remembers Changzheng," Yu Qiuping caressed the white mane of the Pipa. Unconsciously, the horse has accompanied him through five years of ups and downs. Over the past five years, he has experienced countless crises, but he has survived, perhaps it is its blessing.
"That was what I grew up with, so I still remember me," Asai Nagamasa said with a hearty smile.
After five years of separation, Asai Nagamasa had grown from a handsome young man to a handsome young man. His face and eyes looked particularly energetic. He was still as sincere and elegant as before, full of vitality and vitality.
After five years of separation, Yu Qiuping's appearance changed a lot. The inappropriate ponytail had been tied into a neat samurai bun. He, who was originally quite handsome, has experienced so many trials and experiences, and his facial features have become more three-dimensional and more samurai-like.
"I feel relieved when I see my brother safe and sound, and I am not depressed by that matter." Asai Nagamasaya stared at Yu Qiuping's face and said with emotion.
"Ah, I was really sad and desperate at that time," Yu Qiuping sneered and shook his head, "I was clearly loyal but was unjustly exiled. It was clearly to save innocent people, but I ended up being defeated and captured. Sometimes I was really confused. Is it right to stick to the righteousness of light? For that righteousness of light, I have killed so many brothers who follow me, and killed His Highness Seizu, who treats me like my own son."
"Brother, must not say that!" Asai Nagamasa's face suddenly became serious. He rode his horse close to Yu Qiuping, turned around, held Yu Qiuping's shoulder with both hands and spoke, "Brother, must not shake his determination to uphold the righteousness of light because of setbacks!"
"It is precisely because this road is extremely difficult and dangerous that there are so many people in the world who are betrayal to seek wealth and peace. But it is precisely because of so many villains who ignore morality and only care about interests that there are turbulent and uneasy Warring States times!" Asai Nagamasa said in deep voice with a deep heart: "I feel deeply the words of my brother about the cycle of governance and chaos back then. I believe that my brother's words are closer to the truth of the world! Only by adhering to the bright and righteousness to correct the whole world can we save the entire people!"
"All personal grudges, pains, and damage are insignificant compared to interests and the future of the people of the world!" Asai Nagamasa stared at Yu Qiuping's eyes and emphasized word by word: "Didn't your brother have made an appointment with me to practice the righteousness of the world together? You must not give up halfway!"
Yu Qiuping looked at Asai Nagamasa's firm eyes, as if there was a fire of righteousness in it. That persistence, that enthusiasm, that persistence, and the compassion and kindness of taking the world as their responsibility made Yu Qiuping see his self many years ago in an instant. The self who solemnly made a promise to Imagawa Kaede to work hard to relieve even a little pain for the people of the world.
The four years of shaking seemed to be corrected in an instant, and the drowning person who had been falling into the darkness in the chaotic world for four years seemed to be fished up. Yu Qiuping's heart actually missed the simple and kind self, the self awakened by Nagamasa Asai.
He covered his chest with his left hand at a loss, trying to listen to his inner voice, but he touched a trace of coldness - the rib that was left to him by His Highness Semena, who asked him to take revenge, had once occupied the blood of His Highness Semena.
Did you forget what you survived?
In his heart, he tormented Yu Qiuping because of the contradiction he didn't know how to choose, making him almost unable to breathe. He rushed forward and hugged Asai Nagamasa, who was standing beside him, which surprised the latter. After a moment of stunned silence, he hugged Yu Qiuping blankly.
"Changzheng, stop talking," Yu Qiuping's voice trembled slightly.
I'm afraid that if I continue listening, I will shake my determination to revenge.

The two rode their horses side by side, talking about what happened in the past five years along the way. Yu Qiuhei and Asai Nagamasa, the righteous brothers, wanted to tell each other everything so that they could experience the life they had experienced and make up for the regrets and longings of not being able to meet in five years.
Before he knew it, the sun had set. Asai Nagamasa personally welcomed Yu Qiuping into the Tianshou Pavilion of Oguchi Castle, and the elders of the Asai family had been waiting here for a long time. A sumptuous banquet was ready, just waiting for Yu Qiuping to take their seats.
Yu Qiuhei didn't expect that he had such a good reputation in the Asai family, but it was reasonable. The idea of ​​the elders of the Asai family uniting together to launch a coup was proposed by Yu Qiuhei. During the coup, Yu Qiuhei also made a lot of efforts. Later, in the decisive battle between the Asai family and the Hexao family, Yu Qiuhei even participated in the battle himself and made great contributions and captured Hexao Yoshiji. It can be said that Yu Qiuhei almost recreated the Asai family back then.
The important officials of the Asakura family have always been nostalgic. The Asakura family has saved the Asakura family many times. After many years of their kindness, the Asakura family still remembers it in their hearts. Yu Qiuhei's help to the Asakura family happened a few years ago. These elders naturally would not forget them and specially set up a banquet to entertain Yu Qiuhei.
In such a friendly atmosphere, the proposal of the alliance agreement was carried out with the flow. Yu Qiuping had sent guards to inform the Asai family of his arrival before. The Asai family was willing to greet him in such a warm manner, which obviously showed his positive attitude towards the alliance.
The geographical location of the Hexao family, Asai family, Saito family and Oda family is like a mahjong table, with four families sitting on all sides. The Asai family and the Oda family are opposite, and the Saito family and the Hexao family are opposite. Since the Saito family and the Hexao family have formed an alliance, it is natural for the Asai family and the Oda family to form an alliance. The Asai family needs the Oda family to restrain the Saito family to avoid being attacked by both sides, and the Oda family also hopes that they can have wing helpers when attacking the Saito family. In addition, the Oda family has always had the dream of Ueluo. If they want to enter the Kinki region from the Noo plain, Omi is a must-pass. If they can form an alliance with the Asai family, everything will be much more convenient.
Although the Oda family and the Hexaki family did not have direct contact due to the isolation of the Suzuka Mountains and could not pose a threat to the Hexaki family, the Asai family had no better choice. Moreover, Oda Nobunaga was willing to marry the world-famous beauty Oda City to Asai Nagamasa, which gave the Asai family enough face.
After a little discussion, Asai Nagamasa and the retainers of the Asai family agreed to Yu Qiuhei's request for alliance. After two days of drafting the terms of the alliance, Yu Qiuhei returned to the Oda family to report. The two families agreed that after the Chinese New Year, Yu Qiuhei would personally escort the Princess of Oda City to Kitaomeni.
Before leaving, Asai Nagamasa still personally sent Yu Qiuping to the border. Before parting, Asai Nagamasa, who was usually generous and cheerful, seemed a little shy. After hesitating for a long time, he still struggled and asked, "Brother, what kind of person is Princess Ashi?"
Yu Qiupi couldn't help laughing when he saw Nagamasa Asai's dull look.
"He is a rare beauty," Yu Qiuping teased, "You are lucky, Changzheng!"
"I'm not asking this!" Asai Nagamasa said in a low voice with a blushing face: "I'm asking..."
