Yu Qiupi had to admit that he had already had a vague premonition for Kaede Imakawa's answer.
He wanted to tell Imakawa Kaede his plan countless times, but he couldn't bear to speak up, just because he was worried about such a thing.
This independent girl has such a strong personality and is definitely not a weak woman who surrenders to fate and follows her husband all her life. When her master does something that deviates from her beliefs, she will make changes without hesitation. Yu Qiuping understands that she did this ten years ago.
But after hearing this answer with his own ears, his heart still felt like a knife - just like when the two broke up in the garden of Junfucheng on that rainy day almost ten years ago.
"Feng'er, are you going to leave me?" Yu Qiuping asked in a low voice in disbelief, "Are you kidding? Are you talking angry, right?"
"Yeah." Imakawa Kaede was stunned when she heard this and nodded slightly. However, her reaction made Yu Qiuping even more panicked.
"Even if there is a quarrel, you will definitely make up, right?" Yu Qiuping, like a childish child, tried to confirm some things through verbal words. "We quarreled so hard before, and we separated for so long, but in the end you were back, right?"
"Yeah." Imakawa Kaede still nodded, but his eyes gradually filled with tears.
"Do you want to hear the truth?" Imakawa Kaede finally said the sentence Yu Qiuhei was most afraid of hearing, "I was serious when I said those words just now."
"How is that possible, Feng'er?" Yu Qiuping was panicked and hurriedly smiled and tried to restore the atmosphere. He did not worry about the five big men around him, but actually said some stingy words: "We have been together for almost ten years. We love each other so much, how could we be separated because of such a thing! Besides, if you leave, where can you go? What should our children do!"
"During the Warring States Period, divorce was normal for ordinary samurai families, and you don't have to make a fuss." Imakawa Kaede smiled and whispered in an innocent tone.
"But we are not an ordinary samurai family!" Yu Qiuhei held Imagawa Kaede's shoulder with both hands and stared at her eyes and said, "We are different from those political marriages, and I am not those ordinary samurai either!"
Imakawa Kaede was stunned when she heard this, and for a moment, she stopped talking. After a long time, she sighed and buried her face in the shadow, and tears kept falling along her face.
"I also thought that you were different from those cold-blooded martial families. I also thought that our marriage would be different from those political marriages. I also thought that I would have a different fate than those miserable women." Imakawa Kaede shook his head helplessly, "But in the end, your actions made me extremely sad."
"So many women in the Warring States Period have never heard of divorce because of their husband's rebellion!" Yu Qiuping was furious and actually whispered in a stern tone: "Why are Feng'er, you have to be so willful! Besides, I'm taking revenge for your father!"
"Because I am different from other women, I am me! I will not fall in love with such a cold-blooded samurai! I will kill so many of my good brothers samurai! The samurai who has involved the people in the war for his own purposes will not let himself live for others and be the red leaves of others for the rest of his life!" Imagawa Kaede yelled to Yu Qiuhei without fear: "Didn't you know it long ago! I am such a woman!"
"I will go back to Imakawa's house and back to Jun Mansion." Before Yu Qiuping organized the language, Imakawa Kaede said quickly: "If you say the child... I will take him away. Anyway, for those like you who can bring tens of thousands of people into the war for personal grudges, in the eyes of a calm and snobbish person like you, a one-armed child may not be a good family supervisor! Didn't that be what you thought at that time!"
"I don't! I'm not!" Yu Qiuping shouted almost hysterically, "You don't understand me at all!"
However, Imakawa Kaede ignored him and said to himself: "Yu'er is here with you, I will not be behind me. But I will take Cen'er away, and there is still..."
Speaking of this, Imakawa Kaede was suddenly stunned, and Yu Qiuping was also stunned.
And the unborn child in the belly.
It was not just because of tacit understanding or some reason. Both of them stopped suddenly, breathed rapidly, and looked at each other with complicated eyes. Imakawa Kaede's chest was extremely ups and downs, as if his heart would jump out at any time.
"Feng'er." Yu Qiuping was the first to speak, breaking the silence. He had calmed down and urged in a somewhat sad tone: "Didn't we promise to be each other's red leaves and accompany each other for generations? How can you break your promise?"
"Ping, you are the one who breaks your promise." Imakawa Kaede suddenly spoke, but his tone seemed a little sad. "Who promised me that he would do his best to save the people in the world? And what are you doing now? You even have to kill your good brother, so how could you expect you to save the people again? Haven't you always said what you said, how can you break your promise?"
"But I can't live without you!" Yu Qiuping's tears suddenly surged out of his eyes, and he begged, "What should I do if you are gone!"
"I'm just a woman." Imakawa Kaede shook his head, his eyes circulating, but there was an indescribable sadness. "You can even give up the most important thing in your life, let alone me?"
The rain and autumn are smooth for a while and the speech is insane.
"Do you still remember the day you first talked to me about your ambition in your life." Speaking of this, Imakawa Kaede suddenly laughed. She raised her head slightly, as if she was recalling some beautiful memories, "That was ten years ago. We went to the mountain to explore together, and I don't remember why we talked about this topic, anyway, that's what you said at that time."
·
"Although, I have no power or ability to say such things to you, I will be a little arrogant," Yu Qiuping looked at the girl with tears in her eyes solemnly, "But I am willing to promise you and to families who are experiencing misfortune all over the world. I, Yu Qiuping, will do my best to save them so that they no longer have to experience separation from life and death."
"I Yu Qiuping, do what I say."
·
Imagawa Kaede retelled Yu Qiuping's words, and tears still couldn't stop flowing. "To be honest, I might have just had some good feelings for you before. It was only after you said these words that I really fell in love with you and thought you were an amazing person. Because your life is different from those of those samurai. They have regarded the people as grass in their lives in pursuit of fame and fortune throughout their lives. But you put the people in the world first and tried every means to save them."
"If you are no longer such a kind person, if you give up your ambitions, what is the difference between you and an ordinary samurai? What is the difference between you and so many confused samurai in the world? The reason why so many brothers follow you, even Lord Naoe, Lord Sena, Lord Amano, Lord Sanada, Lord Takenaka are willing to follow you, isn't it because you are a good person? If you have changed yourself and gave up your original ideal, what's the point of your life?"
Imakawa Kaede's words made the other five people present fall into deep thoughts instantly. However, Yu Qiuping suddenly smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly.
"Feng'er, my life is no longer my Yu Qiuping's own. I can't live selfishly for my ideals..."
·
Yu Qiuping's words made everyone stunned for a moment, and they didn't understand what Yu Qiuping was saying.
The latter didn't say much, but quietly took out the rib cage from his arms - the rib cage that he had been carrying close to his body for seven years - the relics of Shinse Shin-se.
"My life was exchanged for His Highness Sezuna with his own life." As soon as Yu Qiuhei spoke, his crying voice leaked out of his mouth. The voice and smile of Serezuki Shin also appeared in front of him instantly. "His Highness Sezuna could have survived well... But in order to make me survive, he used this ribcage and septidize."
Everyone present had more or less aware of this matter and didn't say much. Sena's head suddenly lowered, and it was obvious that she was very sad.
"I know what His Highness Seine is thinking..." Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly, "Your Highness has been telling me not to blame himself for the death of His Highness the family governor. He is worried that if I die like this, even if I go to another world, I will be tortured by regret and regret in my heart and will not be able to live."
"So His Highness Sezuna exchanged my life for my life. He asked Kidney Bingwei to bring this ribbed to me, and told me that I still have something to do." Yu Qiuhei stared at the ribbed in his hand. The blood stains that had been stained on it seemed to be vaguely visible. "I know what the unfinished thing His Highness Sezuna wants me to do - that is to take revenge, to avenge your Highness the Lord of the Family. Killed Nobunaga Oda and destroyed the Oda family to save my inner self-blame and regret, and also comforted His Highness Sezuna and His Highness the Lord of the Family."
Yu Qiuping raised the rib cage high, held the rib cage's handle with his right hand, and looked around everyone present. At this moment, Imakawa Kaede and Takenaka Shigeji were all moved, and they were no longer disappointed, sad and angry as before.
"So I said, my life is no longer my own, but His Highness Sezu. If I can't do His Highness Sezu's will, how should I face him? How can I live like nothing, and be a bad person like before? How would His Highness Sezu would be so disappointed if he saw me like this! His Highness Sezu exchanged me for my life to take revenge, to salvation, and to allow me to face the late governor of the family calmly in the future! It is not for me to live a safe life!"
After Yu Qiuping said this, his right hand suddenly tried hard, trying to pull out the ribs and pull out the ribs that had not been pulled out for seven years, so as to strengthen his determination to retaliate. After the persuasion of Takenaka Shigeji and Imakawa Kaede, he was actually a little shaken. In fact, he was still the bad guy, the good guy who traveled through time, and the good guy who wanted to save the people of the world.
But His Highness Sezuna exchanged his life for you, and it wasn't for you to do this!
Yu Qiuping pulled hard, and the ribs were finally pulled out. However, at the moment when the ribs were pulled out, what he saw was not a sharp blade, but a slowly falling white silk.
It was originally wrapped around the blade and brought out together as the blade was pulled out - no wonder this rib gap is so difficult to pull out. It turned out that there was such a piece of silk stuffed between the rib gap and the scabbard.
But why did His Highness Sezuna wrap such a piece of silk around the ribs used for separating the abdomen and stuff it back into the scabbard?
This thought flashed through Yu Qiuping's mind, and his hand holding the blade subconsciously twisted it, and caught the slowly falling silk.
It was not pure white silk, with other colors on it.
Yu Qiuping looked carefully.
On the white silk, there are black-brown handwriting - the color of the blood after air-dried.
This is…
"The word "His Highness Sena."
