Sanada Nobushige looked at the concubines in front of him and kowtowed to the ground, showing his determination to work together, and his usual carefree expression returned to his face.
Others thought she was perverse, but only she knew it in her heart. Every night she recalled the scene of Yantian City in her nightmares, and she was tortured almost to the point of going crazy.
In the dream, she huddled in front of the soul, listening to the cries of Sibo Yiyin being insulted in the room, but her whole body was so weak that she could not move.
Shame, shame, Sanada Nobushige will never forget that night. He curled up in a corner and watched his sweetheart being beaten by the three Takedas...
This inferiority and self-blame always tortured her, making her restless day and night. Her character became more and more frivolous, and she no longer cared about anything except the Imperial Palace.
To wash away the shame, she can only use blood on the battlefield. She wants to prove to Shiba Yiyin that she is no longer a poor child, she is the sharpest sword and gun in Yiyin's hands.
She looks forward to it day by day and has nightmares every night, just waiting for that day to come. On the battlefield, she will prove to her beloved that she is no longer a coward, but a woman who stands upright!
I, Sanada Nobushige, am the best soldier in the world!
———
Turning their attention back to the Shinbada Castle Castle Tower, Shiba Yoshigan and Yamanaka Yukimori waited for the ladies to leave without saying a word for a long time.
Yoshigami looked at Yamanaka Yukimori, the most beautiful Ji warrior around him. After a lot of troubles in the past year, his pretty face had gained a bit of maturity, a bit of the majesty of a superior person.
After being lost for a moment, Yiyin apologized.
"Because of my willfulness, I caused trouble for you and the Kanto Palace."
Yamanaka Yukimori looked at his master tenderly, shook his head gently and said.
"If you are in the imperial office, it would be my greatest happiness to be able to share your worries.
Since we first met in Kyoto, I have been causing you trouble. To this day, you are still protecting me from wind and rain and giving me shelter.
I was born to be on your side, why do you need to go out of your way to explain.
Let alone the Uesugi retainers, even if everyone in the world is your enemy, I will stand in front of you and fight to the death for you."
Hearing this beautiful woman's heartfelt confession, Yiyin couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart, and unconsciously reached out to touch her face.
The contact between hands and face caused Yamanaka Yukimori's body to tremble. She took a careful look at Yi Gin, rubbed his palm slightly with her cheek, and showed a happy smile on her face.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, until Yamanaka Yukimori spoke.
"Otaisuo, did you come directly to Xinfa Tiancheng from the imperial office?"
Yoshigan's head felt as if a plate of cold water had been poured on him, and he suddenly woke up, sweating on his forehead. Yamanaka Yukimori's eyes were fixed on his master and sweetheart, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
Yoshigami knew what she was thinking. This fierce light was not aimed at herself, but at Toromi Castle's Shima Shengmu. Yamanaka Yukimori was testing whether he had been to Toromi Castle.
Yiyin's mind was full of thoughts. He wanted to escape, wanted to lie, and told her that he had never been there.
However, the Shiba Council of the Imperial Palace is about to be convened, and Takeshi Shimakatsu and Yukimori Yamanaka are going to meet soon, and this lie will soon be exposed.
If the lie made Yamanaka Yukimori's mood of grief and anger go to extremes, the duel in the snow of Yasuda Castle, blocked by Shiba Yoshigan, would continue in the second half at the Imperial Palace.
He thought about it, sighed secretly, and could only tell the truth. He could not cause greater trouble in the future just for the sake of temporary convenience.
He looked into Yamazaka Xingsheng's expectant eyes and decided not to hide anything from her anymore, but to tell the truth openly and clearly.
In fact, I, Shiba Yiyin, am just a naughty person, not as good as you think.
Yiyin slowly withdrew his hand and looked at his fingertips, as if he could smell the fragrance of the mountain.
Yamazaka Yukimori was at a loss as he watched his master ponder in silence, and he also became silent.
"To tell you the truth, I went to Torowei City first."
Although Yamanaka Yukimori had been prepared, when these words came out of Shiba Yiyin's mouth, he still felt a pain in his heart.
After all, she is not as powerful as Dao Shengmeng. When the master is in trouble, the first thing he thinks of is Dao Shengmeng, not himself.
This sour and bitter feeling spread in my heart, and ripples paralyzed my whole body.
She opened her mouth slightly, a bitter taste welling up from the base of her tongue, and asked dryly.
"Does the Odaisho still remember the confrontation between me and Shima Katsuo outside the Yasuda Castle Hall that day?"
"I remember."
"On that day, the imperial office made it clear that I should not cause trouble for Dao Shengmeng anymore. If I want to ask, I can ask you."
"good."
"Well, today I will overstep my bounds and express the doubts in my mind. I would also like to ask the imperial office to help me clarify my doubts. I am very grateful."
Yiyin looked at her in a daze, sighed and said.
"Just ask, I won't even hide it from you."
Yamanaka Yukimori lowered his head, clenched his fists unconsciously, and then unclenched them. He repeated this for a long time before slowly speaking.
"Did Shima Katsuo intimidate you?"
"no."
"Did you act drunkenly?"
"no."
"Then she must have deceived you by taking advantage of your worries about the Sibo family!"
"No."
Yamazaka Yukimori suddenly raised his head, looked at Yoshiyin with a ferocious expression, and shouted.
"It's not this, it's not that! Could it be that the emperor likes her?"
"Yes and no."
Yukimori Yamazaka was confused.
Yiyin sighed, stared at her eyes seriously, and spoke word by word.
"I am a man and I have physical needs. I seduced her to vent my desires."
Yamazaka Xingsheng had tears in his eyes, smiling and crying, shaking his head and saying.
"The imperial office doesn't even bother to lie to me. You are holy and innocent..."
Yiyin interrupted her rudely.
"Holy shit! I'm just an old coward, I just like grass!
What you think is holy is all fake! It’s..."
Yiyin couldn't continue and shook his head.
How could he explain the existence of special effects in his career and the existence of the system? Even if he was willing to say it, Yamanaka Yukimori wouldn't believe it.
He hesitated to speak, but Yamanaka Yukimori thought he was too shy to speak, so she said gloomily.
"The imperial court treated Shima Shengmeng very well. In order to excuse her, he even said such demeaning things to himself.
Please stop talking, I won’t ask. Seeing you demeaning yourself like this makes me feel uncomfortable and my heart aches."
Yiyin sighed inwardly when he saw her face turned sideways, unwilling to talk any more.
When it comes to what I want to say today, I have to explain it thoroughly. If you miss today, you will never be able to explain it clearly again.
"Lucky in the mountains."
"Hi!"
"That night at Koriyama Castle was not your fault."
"Lord?"
"I was not drunk at the time. In fact, I forced you."
Yamanaka Yukimori was stunned and said helplessly.
"In order to cover up Dao Shengmeng, my lord is willing to confuse right and wrong to excuse my evil deeds.
I really can't be happy, my lord.
I hope to get your forgiveness day and night, and work hard to get along with you so that I can wash away my sins.
What I want is not this kind of understanding and this kind of absolution. Your tolerance will only make me feel even more disgusting."
