"Let's go." Imagawa Yoshimoto stood up and supported Ginkgo to stand up, "Go back."
"It's true, my guest, that it was a one-night stand after all. I didn't even let her sleep, so I kicked her away~" Ginkgo didn't have enough fun yet, and continued to scold her softly.
"Okay, isn't this the matchmaker's wedding? I'm marrying you home. Let's go and be a good person with me." Imagawa Yoshimoto also smiled and lightly poked Ginkgo's forehead. After noticing that the night breeze outside was a bit cold, he
He took off his coat and put it on Ginkgo.
"Thank you, sir~" Ginkgo smiled and bowed again.
"Let's call you sir." Imagawa Yoshimoto said, feeling a headache caused by this title and everyone was dumbfounded.
"If the guest wants the little girl to call you sir, the little girl will call you sir~ Whatever the guest wants the little girl to do, the little girl will..." Ginkgo continued to role-play with a smirk, but quickly stopped speaking mid-sentence - sharp-eyed
She found two small figures hiding at the corner of the door of the whale house, leaning against the window and listening to what was going on inside. There seemed to be ninjas secretly protecting them in the distance.
After taking a closer look, they were clearly Imagawa Goro and Asahina Matsuchiyo.
Imagawa Yoshimoto and Ginkgo looked at each other, and both saw the look of "It's over" in each other's eyes.
"Goro, Matsuchiyo, what are you doing!" Imagawa Yoshimoto asked in a dignified tone.
Goro Imagawa and Matsuchiyo Asahina were startled and turned around quickly, only to find that Yoshimoto Imagawa and Ginkgo were already standing behind them.
"What's going on? How did you get here?" Ginkgo also asked aggressively.
"I...we are following!" Goro Imagawa was caught, and he imitated his father's example of raising his hands to show his innocence, and stammered in reply. Asahina Matsuchiyo also imitated the example and quickly raised his hands.
.
"What did you see and hear?" Imagawa Yoshimoto walked behind Goro Imagawa and Matsuchiyo Asahina and checked whether the window paper had been torn.
"I heard someone shouting inside!" Asahina Matsuchiyo replied happily waving her little hands, but Imagawa Goro covered her mouth and explained in embarrassment: "I didn't hear anything!"
It's over... Imagawa Yoshimoto and Ginkgo looked at each other again, and the same thought came to their minds - these two children will not become perverts in the future. Then, they glared at each other fiercely at the same time -
Blame you!
It's all Mr.'s fault!
"What's going on with you? Why did you let the two children come here?" Imagawa Yoshimoto looked at the ninjas who were secretly following them and asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Young Master said he wanted to play a stalking game, and we couldn't stop him. Besides, we were all within a safe range, and there were alerts all around..." The leading Jonin did not expect that things would develop in this direction, and he stumbled.
Explained, "We saw His Highness and Madam coming here, but we never thought that this place would be..."
"Stop talking! Stop it!" Imagawa Yoshimoto was embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He suddenly raised his hand to signal the ninja to shut up - so many ninjas saw it. Later, there were rumors that the house governor and the mistress visited the whale house together.
It must have spread, "Everything is kept confidential. This is the highest level of intelligence. Do you understand?"
"Yes." The ninjas all responded in low voices. Behind the mask, Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't know if they were snickering.
Imagawa Yoshimoto turned around again, intending to teach Imagawa Goro and Asahina Matsuchiyo a lesson about stalking? But the words got stuck in his throat before he could leave his mouth. Didn't he follow them just because they were stalking?
Imagawa Yoshimoto smiled helplessly, and Ginkgo on the side also guessed his psychological activities from his smile. The two looked at each other again, and spread their hands helplessly:
"There is really no way/ah..."
On the way back to the castle tower, Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly realized something, so he pulled Imagawa Goro's little hand and asked his son who was walking beside him:
"Do you know what's going on in that house?"
"I don't know." Goro Imagawa shook his head like a rattle.
"Then why did you cover Matsuchiyo's mouth when he admitted that he heard the scream?" Imagawa Yoshimoto asked thoughtfully, not sure if he was talking to himself. Imagawa Goro suddenly turned red.
His face and the little hands held by Imagawa Yoshimoto began to sweat.
"Did Goro eavesdrop on us?" Imagawa Yoshimoto then leaned into Ginkgo's ear and whispered.
"How is that possible? Every time, it was when Wulang was away..." Ginkgo frowned as she recalled it, and finally shook her head, "I would always ask Guishu to stand guard for me."
"Is that because Mochizuki has neglected her duties?" Imagawa Yoshimoto raised another possibility.
"How is that possible? Guishu is very dedicated. Even on the night shift, she has never fallen asleep. This is a required course for ninjas." Ginkgo promised swornly, but suddenly stopped. Not far away.
In the corner, a young man and woman can be faintly seen talking about love - who is it if it's not Mochizuki Takaki and Hayasaka Nao?
When Hayasaka Nao and Mochizuki Takaki saw Imagawa Yoshimoto and Ginkgo arriving, they were both startled, their faces turned red, and they hurriedly saluted with some embarrassment.
"It's okay, you guys are fine too." Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't care that their personal bodyguards were developing a relationship, "You don't have to hide it from us."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Nao Hayasaka and Takaki Mochizuki leaned over gratefully upon hearing this.
"I'm a little curious, how did you two get together?" Ginkgo is much more gossipy than Imagawa Yoshimoto, and he doesn't intend to let his two subordinates go. But Hayasaka Nao and Mochizuki Takaki are both a little embarrassed.
, hesitating as to how to answer.
"Let me go, there are always some shameful things to say between lovers." Imagawa Yoshimoto laughed and put his arms around Ginkgo's shoulders and pulled her away.
"I've seen a lot of things along the way." Ginkgo complained in a low voice about this night's tracking trip.
After struggling so late yesterday and regaining a lot of energy, Imagawa Yoshimoto went to sleep, and when he woke up the next day, it was already midnight. Vaguely, he seemed to have had a strange dream last night - dreaming that he was tied up.
In a cave, unable to move. Imagawa Yoshimoto felt strange. He didn't know why he had such a dream, and wanted to find someone to complain about. But Ginkgo was still lying in bed, and Imagawa Yoshimoto, who had lost the person to talk to, had to give up. Help
After tucking in the quilt, she got up and washed herself briefly. When she came back, she found that Taiyuan Xuezhai had already been working in the room.
"You got up very early, old man." Imagawa Yoshimoto knew what Taiyuan Xuezhai did last night, and also knew that he would definitely come back later than him. I didn't expect that a person at such an old age would have good energy.
"What's so early about this? You got up too late." Taiyuan Xuezhai blew his beard and glared at Imagawa Yoshimoto, who noticed the dark circles under his eyes.
"Let's take a nap after dinner, don't be too tired." Imagawa Yoshimoto also responded with a smile, and was about to go back to wake Ginkgo up. However, before he could take a few steps, Taiyuan Xuezhai started to shout awkwardly.
he.
"Hey, Chengfang." Taiyuan Xuezhai spoke to Imagawa Yoshimoto, while pretending not to care and continued correcting official documents, casually said, "I want to tell you something."
"What's the matter?" Imagawa Yoshimoto saw something strange in Taiyuan Xuezhai.
"Well... that is to say..." Taiyuan Xuezhai considered his words and seemed a little difficult to speak, but he concealed it as the absent-mindedness of chatting at work, "When my master dies, bury my master in Shande Temple."
Go ahead."
"It's too far, and it's not convenient to go to the festival." Imagawa Yoshimoto also replied casually, and then he realized what Taiyuan Xue Zhai was talking about - it seems that what the girls from the Whale House said last night still touched Taiyuan Xue Zhai.
Even though he is an extremely utilitarian realist, Taiyuan Xuezhai is an old monk after all, and he still attaches great importance to the things after death.
"Yo? You kid, you still know how to come to worship Sao as your master?" Taiyuan Xuezhai snorted deliberately, but the joy that flashed through his words couldn't be concealed, "But it's just you, your descendants will not be here after that.
Remember to be my teacher, this old monk."
"Goro is so close to you, I must remember you." Imagawa Yoshimoto cleverly avoided the topic, and then added jokingly, "Next to our Sengen Shrine or Rinzai Temple (the Imagawa family's Bodhi Temple)
Let me help you build a Bodhi Temple. In the future, when all the family governors go to pay homage to their ancestors, they will stop by to see you, this stinky old man."
"Come on, who wants you to offer sacrifices? Who cares?" Taiyuan Xuezhai laughed loudly after hearing this, and swung his brush hard at Imagawa Yoshimoto, causing ink to splash all over Imagawa Yoshimoto.
Imagawa Yoshimoto saw that his white clothes were stained with ink all of a sudden, and he was furious: "You are so dirty!!! You stinky old man! After you die, I will bury you in the crater of Mount Fuji and spray it into the sky!"
"
"Whatever you want, it doesn't matter who will die first, you brat!" Taiyuan Xuezhai stood up with a smile, pushed Imagawa Yoshimoto out of the door and closed the door heavily behind him.
"That's right." Taiyuan Xuezai inside the room shouted again, stopping Imagawa Yoshimoto who was about to leave through the door, "During the battle of Xiaoduzaka, I heard that Chengfang, you kid, actually came to the front line to fight with the enemy.
Fighting. It's too dangerous. Don't fight like this in the future. Do you really think that your skills are invincible? When you should hide behind, just hide behind. Next time you encounter an enemy attack, just stay behind the formation obediently."
"There is an easier way. Master, don't send me on a mission. I'd rather stay in the safe Imagawa Hall." Imagawa Yoshimoto excused himself with a smile and left quickly.
, "I really want to go to the front line, can the old man control me?"
"Smelly boy." Taiyuan Xuezhai cursed again and kicked the door in a demonstrative manner. Then he sat down with a smile, looked at the broken box in the corner, and had a silly amount of fun for a long time.
Back in the bedroom, Imagawa Goro was also there, trying to lure Ginkgo out of bed with the delicious food cooked in the kitchen. Ginkgo's little nose moved, but she didn't open her eyes. She still lingered in the comfortable and warm bed, turning over and over again.
Go on to sleep.
"Goro, let me tell you something." Imagawa Yoshimoto sat down on the tatami beside him and put the food held by Goro Imagawa on the table beside him.
"Father, please speak." Imagawa Goro saw that Imagawa Yoshimoto was quite solemn, and he also sat down seriously and asked.
"When you go to pay homage to me in the future, don't forget to offer some sacrifices to Master Xue Zhai's tomb." Imagawa Yoshimoto smiled and tapped the palm of his hand with a folding fan, "You want more, don't forget to also go with me
Your son said that he should remember to pay homage to Master Xueshai in the future, and that he should tell his son the same thing. This is the family motto of our Imagawa family, passed down from generation to generation, and must not be forgotten or ignored.
