Imakawa Yoshimoto saw that Yu Qiuhei was already as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit, and was embarrassed to tease his subordinates again.
"That's it." Imakawa Yoshimoto explained, "I don't have enough information on hand to allow me to analyze who is planning this missing incident and what is the motivation."
"But it is definitely a huge strength to make the messengers of our three families disappear at the same time. If it weren't for the Hojo family or the Takeda family, it would probably be the Uesugi family."
"And their motives are also clear at a glance - disrupting the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Aoshima." Imakawa Yoshimoto said his judgment softly, "I don't hide it from you. Our Imakawa family is in Kyoto and we need the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Aoshima behind us to be stable, so I attach great importance to this matter. I hope to find out more details."
"Then why do you have to put your son in a situation where you may be killed at any time?" Yu Qiuping asked.
"Because only in this way can you find out some useful things." Imakawa Yoshimoto said, "If you go with full armed force under the banner of the Imakawa family, the mastermind behind it will definitely not dare to take action. Then your result will be to go around Fuji County and Shundong County, and you will get nothing."
"On the contrary, if you go as a businessman and with the weak power." Imakawa Yoshimoto smiled, "Then the mastermind behind the scenes is in the purpose of further disrupting the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Aoshijun, and it is very likely that he will attack you and provoke conflicts among our three families. Even if he does not attack a weak target like you, it will help me analyze his determination and strength."
"But didn't the caravans coming and going have not been too difficult?" Yu Qiuping asked, "I have seen passing caravans in the territory these days. Apart from saying that the road was a bit uneasy, they did not encounter any unexpected problems."
"Do you really think you can pretend to be a caravan?" Imakawa Yoshimoto smiled, "It must have been seen through at a glance. You were asked to pretend to be a caravan, but on the surface you didn't represent the Imakawa family's position, and you won't make a statement if you kill you."
Yu Qiuping's mouth twitched for a moment, and he looked like he had eaten shit again.
"This is like what I said in the competition to sell a flaw." Imakawa Yoshimoto smiled, "Only by luring the opponent to attack, you will have a chance to defeat the enemy with one blow. Otherwise, two opponents with equal strength will probably have to fight for half a day and not be able to decide the outcome."
"Precisely because of your weakness, the mastermind behind it will be ready to attack you, and you will have the opportunity to seize his tail." Yoshimoto Imakawa looked at Yu Qiuhei, "You don't have to grab the black hand. As long as you can fight with the black hand a few times and bring me enough information. After all, I have probably guessed who is the commander behind the scenes, but intelligence is needed to improve my guess."
"Who does the main hall think it is?" Yu Qiuping asked excitedly.
"I won't tell you for the time being, preconceived impressions may affect your judgment," said Imakawa Yoshimoto. "After all, it's very likely that you will encounter the reconnaissance forces of the Takeda family and the Hojo family, and just like your mission, they will come to find out the truth. If I tell you my guess now, you will become inclined when you communicate with them."
"Will they all come as merchants?" Yu Qiuping asked.
"I guess yes." Imakawa Yoshimoto nodded, "After all, if the formal investigation force encounters an unexpected accident, the main family will find it difficult to convince the public without reacting, and the alliance may be forced to break down. Even if such an informal team encounters problems, it can be concealed and not reported."
"Then do I need to catch the murderer?" Yu Qiuping asked again.
"No." Imakawa Yoshimoto shook his head, "If the murderer is from the Uesugi family, what's the use if we catch him? Emperor Tian Gao is far away. If the murderer is from the Takeda family or the Hojo family, we will not use them to denounce the Hojo family and the Takeda family if we catch him, because our Imakawa family is the party that needs the most stability of the alliance. To denounce these two companies will only intensify the conflict. I guess even if we catch people, it will be left alone. I just want to know who did it so that I can make diplomatic deployment."
"After saying so much, are you willing to do this dangerous task?" Imakawa Yoshimoto asked with a smile.
"This task is very important to the master, right?" Yu Qiuping asked, hesitating for a moment.
"That's right." Imakawa Yoshimoto nodded.
"In other words," Yu Qiuping swallowed, "Because it is important, so will there be a lot of rewards after success?"
"Haha, yes, the judgment is correct." Imakawa Yoshimoto smiled, "Then Yuqiu, did you agree?"
"I'm here to obey the order!" Yu Qiuping bowed respectfully, "I wish to go through fire and water for the Imakawa family!"
"This is not like you." Imakawa Yoshimoto looked at Yu Qiuhei with his head tilted. "You are so conservative and you will give up opportunities to avoid a little risk. How could you take such a big risk to fight for fame and fortune?"
Yu Qiuping smiled bitterly.
Only in this way can we have a chance to catch up with Feng'er, right?
After Yu Qiuhei received the mission, he went to Sinatoshi Toshi. After Sinatoshi approved Yu Qiuhei's preparations for returning to the territory, he found Imakawa Yoshimoto.
"Sena?" Imakawa Yoshimoto smiled after seeing Senaki Toshi enter the door, "I was just about to find you. But thinking of your temperament and your concern for that kid, I don't even need to send a little surname, you will come here by yourself."
"The main hall." Semine Shin-shi asked after saluting, "Why did you want Hongye to perform that mission? It's too dangerous. I think this is even a character with an abandoned child. Isn't he the young man the main hall should focus on training?"
"Don't worry, this is also a training for him." Imakawa Yoshimoto smiled, "If I expected it was good, he would not be in danger. In addition, I had sent dozens of ninjas before, and although I had no news for the time being, I guess Imakawa Yoshimoto gently patted the Chidori incense burner on the table, "It's not ordinary to believe that kid."
Imakawa Yoshimoto sent someone to inform Yu Qiuhei that he would leave from his territory in the early morning of May 6.
There was not much time to prepare, and Yu Qiuping began to plan his wife in full swing. Since he could only bring fifty people with him, he kept all the recruits to continue training. Then he selected the fiftiest smartest and smartest people from the veterans to form a temporary platoon.
Since he pretended to be a caravan, although he could not hide it from the mastermind, other caravans and other things still had to hide it from it, so he could not carry too conspicuous spears. Everyone brought a samurai sword or a saber. Yu Akihei asked Fukushima Yasushi, Mimaezaki Nakahide, Yoshikazu Katsumasaki and Ogawa Yutsuhiro each to select nine elite soldiers from their own platoons, and then asked Charlie to select nine elite archers to form a temporary group for this operation. Yu Akihei also brought Honda Nosuke, Naoe Tadaehide, and Amano Keito to help command. The remaining people left behind were arranged to give Mishi Mizushi and the others to continue to strengthen their training.
Since it was a confidential task, Yu Qiuping did not inform the purpose of this temporary assembly, but just said vaguely that he would carry out a diplomatic task. He planned to announce it again when it was released on May 6 to avoid leaking the news.
Yu Qiuping has not recovered until now, so why did he take on such a difficult task like a devil?
If it was a year ago, before I traveled through time, I heard that there was a place where dozens of people had been missing in succession. Now I would have taken fifty people to reconnaissance, and I would definitely be so scared that I didn’t dare to move.
But now, he has taken the initiative to take on such a task just to be worthy of his sweetheart.
What have I experienced this year?
Once you have lost everything, once you have a cowardice, a group of friends who believe in themselves, several elders who love them very much, two thrilling battles, and a sweetheart who has been able to meet for all his life.
If I hadn't had this time travel, I would have been in my second year of high school, sitting in the classroom, playing games with my classmates, and working hard in the sea of ​​Chinese, mathematics and English questions. Now, I am the lord of a large area of ​​land and have my own army.
I'm only 18 years old.
Yu Qiuping shook his head and drove these thoughts out of his mind. At this moment, on May 5, he was sitting in the small wooden house at Kaede Imakawa's house. Outside the house was full of red leaves. On the table, there were greeting cards that could not be given out and a note.
He originally wanted to write a letter, but he wrote several letters, but they were all torn off. Because, as soon as the brush touched the paper, longing and love flowed continuously and could not be stopped at all. In the end, he had to use a small note instead.
This time it was a confidential task, and Yu Qiuping could not ask Imakawa Kaede to see him off. The two who had already broken up would not have a chance to see him off. So Yu Qiuping left his birthday gift in the cabin, so that even if he had an accident this time, he could definitely give away his birthday gift and would not leave any regrets.
Speaking of which, he hadn't come to this wooden house for a long time. This time he came here, he found that the maple trees that should have grown new buds and lush branches and leaves were because the paper red leaves more or less blocked the sun, resulting in the poor cultivation of new leaves.
Will that beautiful maple forest come back? Will she come back again?
Will she miss me when she leaves? Will she miss me like she did before?
I don't know.
"A late birthday gift." The note reads, "I'm leaving and taking good care of myself, Your Highness the Princess."
The signature is: Yuqiu General.
After everything was about to stop, Yu Qiuping led more than 50 people to quietly leave the village in the early morning of May 6 and walked east along the official road. They also carried five ox carts and more than twenty trolleys, pushing a lot of porcelain, calligraphy and paintings and other goods as disguise. Most of the people's weapons were hidden in the goods. Only the squad of Katsumasa Yoshigang dressed as a guard, put the weapons on his body. Yu Qiuping carefully tied the red leaf shawl to his shoulders, hoping that she could bless her to make great contributions and return safely.
A day ago, on the evening of May 5, at the Imakawa family dinner.
The whole family was tasting the food with a smile, but Imagawa Kaede was full of worries and silent. The meal on the table didn't move a few bites. Every time someone else urged her to eat, she would absent-mindedly pick up a few grains of rice and put it into her mouth. Chew and chew until she didn't feel anything at all.
He hasn't been here for five days.
Did something happen to him?
"Idiot, don't worry about him." Another voice in Kaede Imakawa's heart sounded, "He doesn't understand anything at all."
However, whenever he closes his eyes, his figure still appears in his mind, unable to forget or drive away.
She hesitated for a while, and still made up her mind to speak and tentatively, "Dad," she bowed and looked at Imakawa Yoshimoto, "Why haven't you seen the sons of the Asahina family and the Okabe family recently? But are you going to fight again?"
"Oh?" Imakawa Yoshimoto looked at Imakawa Kaede, "Those two boys, they fought again in the city town a few days ago. I was locked up in the confinement of the country, so you can't see it."
Imakawa Yoshimoto's words caused laughter from the crowd. Imakawa's clever smiled so hard that he coughed, "They asked the son to be the referee at that time. Who must be the winner?"
Amid the laughter of the crowd, Imakawa Kaede had to smile with her face, but her mind was not here at all.
"However, there are some things that may be war." Imakawa Yoshimoto sipped his tea and said casually, but suddenly raised Imakawa Kaede's heart to his throat.
"Who are you with? Are you the Oda family again?" Imakawa Kaede asked anxiously, and after a moment, he realized that he was too concerned - it was rude.
"No." Imakawa Yoshimoto did not pursue the matter. "It is a confidential task and it is not convenient to disclose too much. It is quite dangerous anyway."
At this point, Imakawa Kaede couldn't ask any more questions, so he had to sigh.
Chapter completed!
