After winning seventeen battles in a row, the exhausted Imagawa Ujimoto finally chose to abandon the game. The crowd of spectators immediately lamented in frustration, and the long queue of challengers who wanted to challenge were even more regretful. But after a while, the whole film
The Cuju arena erupted with thunderous applause and cheers for Imagawa Shimoto, paying tribute to the ancient capital of Kyoto, the world's number one Cuju player.
After taking several detours, under the cover of ninjas, Imagawa Shimoto managed to escape the pursuit of his fans, returned to his hotel, and took a comfortable bath to wash away the odor of sweat from his body. Only then did he
When I have time, I go back to my room and open the gift bag I won just now to see what prizes are inside.
"Sir?" At this moment, Ginkgo also pushed open the door and found Imagawa Shimoto looking at the package, so he asked with a smile, "How are you doing? Is there anything good?"
"There is Jinpei candy, it is an imported product and it is delicious." Imagawa Shimoto said with a vague smile to Ginkgo with the candy in his mouth.
"Jinpingtang? I've never heard of it! But I like sweets the most." Ginkgo was delighted when she heard this and immediately came to Imagawa Ujimoto's side, "Where is it? Give me one quickly!"
Imagawa Ujimoto then reached out and handed Ginkgo a sapphire blue wrapping paper. But after Ginkgo opened the package with great expectations, he found that there was only a small stone inside, and he immediately turned to look at Imagawa Ujimoto with a small mouth pouting.
"Just this one." Imagawa Shigen smiled evilly and brought the Jinpei candy to his mouth, then put it back into his mouth, "It's not your share."
Ginkgo, who was teased, put her hands on her hips, tilted her head slightly, and looked angry. Her cute look made Imagawajimoto amused. Ginkgo looked at Imagawajimoto's warm and sunny smile, and suddenly she was in a trance.
The next moment, Imagawajimoto's lips only felt a soft touch - Ginkgo's dexterous tongue flicked in his mouth and stole the piece of gold flat candy. When Imagawajimoto came back to his senses, he found that Ginkgo had already
He took half a step back, and with a smile, he teased the trophy Jinping candy with the tip of his tongue. He looked at Imagawa Ujimoto with pride and asked in a soft and charming voice:
"Sir, is it sweet?"
Imagawa Ujimoto looked at the girl's graceful figure and charming smile, and suddenly kissed her, plundering the sweets and the girl's sweetness. Ginkgo exclaimed, and fell into the gentle land before she could stop her.
…
It wasn't until the candy melted in his hot mouth that Imagawa Shimoto reluctantly let go of the ginkgo and chuckled: "It's very sweet."
"Sir, you are a bad guy." Ginkgo huddled in Imagawa Shimoto's arms like a kitten and complained faintly. It seemed that he felt that he was not majestic enough, so he imitated the cat and let out a breath of "ha" from his mouth.
"Didn't Ms. Ginkgo ask me to answer with my mouth?" Imagawa Shimoto looked down at Ginkgo with a smirk. Ginkgo blushed again because of her misinterpreted meaning. She turned away and protested softly: "This
It doesn’t count.”
"I love you."
Imagawa Ujimoto suddenly spoke and gave the promise the girl wanted in a soft voice. Ginkgo's eyes were instantly filled with tears.
"I love you too, sir."
"Why?" Imagawa Yoshimoto asked what he had always been uneasy about, "Why did Miss Ginkgo fall in love with me?"
"I don't know... maybe it's because we are very similar... We all have similar scars, called family, or cold-blooded..." Ginkgo raised her head, blinking her tearful eyes, and looked at Imagawa Yoshimoto,
"It feels like we are like stray cats licking each other's wounds... Even if there is nothing, even if we can't see the future, having my husband around will make me feel at ease..."
The couple hugged each other for a long time, but they all shed tears in unison.
Every couple that ends up in tragedy always looks forward to a bright future when their love begins. And the tragedy of this couple is that even in love, they know that this relationship has no future, even a little bit.
There is no room to escape deception.
After the journey, they will go their separate ways. Ginkgo will marry the husband chosen by his family, and Imagawa Shiyuan will follow the arrangements of Taiyuan Xuezhai and Shouguini and marry a woman he has never met.
There is no love to speak of in the Wu family in troubled times.
"I'm sorry." Imagawa Ujimoto said softly.
"It's not your fault, sir." Ginkgo patted Imagawa Shimoto's back, trying to coax a child to stop crying, "That's enough."
"Everyone is mortal, no matter how long-term love and happiness they have, they will all die. After death, they turn into loess and wander around the world for thousands of years, forgetting everything and remembering nothing. Love lasts.
A few days or a few decades, what difference does it make among millions of years of darkness and nothingness?"
Ginkgo whispered softly, wrapped her hands around Imagawa Shimoto's neck, and kissed her again.
"At least at this moment, in that brief moment in the endless stream of history, our minds are connected and will be engraved in time forever. This is enough."
Love is such a wonderful emotion... There is such a wonderful thing in the world that can actually make people forget the despair of death for a moment.
"Sir, something is urgent."
The sound at the door broke the couple's entanglement. The feelings just now had not faded. It was only an hour, but it seemed like a lifetime had passed. Imagawa Jigen said goodbye to Ginkgo with great reluctance, and welcomed Hayasaka Nao into the house.
"Urgent letter from Suruga." Nao Hayasaka took out the letter from her pocket and handed it to Imagawa Ujimoto. "The ninja discovered that Imagawa Yoshima also seemed to have left Hikima Castle and his whereabouts are unknown. Master Yuksai suspected that he might also
It’s up to you to go to Luo to seek a ruling from the family governor of Gongfang Palace.”
"The third brother is here too?" Imagawa Shiyuan was shocked when he heard this. Looking at the familiar handwriting of Taiyuan Xuezhai, his mind suddenly became clearer. "Where is he?"
"The specific location is unclear, but the time he set off to Luo should be at least half a month later than us." Hayasaka Nao repeated Taiyuan Xue Zhai's judgment, "Master Xue Zhai urges you to act quickly, although Ni Yutai is here
The relationship in the palace has been taken care of in advance, but it would be terrible if Imagawa Yoshima were to beat him to it and use his eloquence to convince Gongfangdian."
"Is it a replica of the war over the governor? I persuaded my mother, who originally supported me, to come to his side." Naturally, Imagawa Shimoto didn't want to make the same mistake again, and immediately started to change clothes, "I was delayed for a long time on the road, maybe I have been
My third brother has caught up with me. Then we will go to the Imperial Palace to ask for a meeting. We hope to be summoned tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
On a pavilion not far from Imagawa Ujimoto's hotel, Imagawa Ryozen crossed his arms and led a group of ninjas, watching coldly as Imagawa Ujimoto and others hurriedly went out under the moonlight.
"As expected, you are acting according to history and seeking the support of the shogun. But I didn't expect that you would go to Luo in person. It seems that my arrival has produced a butterfly effect, causing the history to subtly deviate. But it's no use, butterfly
After all, you can’t fly out of the spider web.”
Imagawa Yoshima waved his hand, and the ninjas behind him disappeared into the night, heading to the prepared ambush site. He himself was about to leave, but he bumped into a young man running past on the road. Obviously this time
The force of the impact was not very strong, but Imagawa Yoshima felt as if an electric current had passed through his body, and he was numb for half a second.
"Be careful and watch the road." Imagawa Yoshizhin was a little dissatisfied, but still told him in a graceful manner.
"Thank you." After the young man found out that he had bumped into a samurai, he didn't show the panic expression of a commoner, which also surprised Imagawa Yoshizhin - in this era, samurai were fully qualified to kill civilians who collided with them on the street.
He took a closer look at the young man in front of him: he had long hair and was not shaved, so he was definitely not a monk; he was not shaved or carried a sword, so he was definitely not a samurai; he had not blackened his teeth, drawn his eyebrows, or powdered his face.
He's not a minister either - he's probably just a commoner. But the high-spirited look on his brows shows that he was raised in a pampered way - could he be the son of a wealthy businessman?
However, Imagawa Yoshizhin was anxious for something, so he didn't bother much. He just vaguely felt that the young man's temperament was a bit strange.
After Imagawa Yoshima left, the young man stood there for a long time in a daze, with an incredible expression on his face. He first touched the part of his body that had just collided with Imagawa Yoshima in disbelief, and then touched it to his mouth over and over again.
What's going on inside.
After a long silence, he finally sighed in a low voice:
