Chapter 32 Chapter 31 Peerless Twins

On the mountain path from Naguye to Aguju, a warrior on horseback galloped like an arrow.The horse's black mane was soaked with sweat, and the sides of the saddle were blistered.The samurai on horseback was in armor, leaning forward, looking at the heavy ears of rice on both sides of the road, he had already arrived in front of the city before he knew it. "Who?" The master Hisamatsu Sado Shou Junsheng has led his troops to reinforce Anxiang City, and he is not in the city now. Before leaving, he ordered the remaining personnel to guard strictly. The samurai said "hard work" and jumped off the horse briskly. "I am Takenouchi Kuroku, and I brought a letter from the master to my wife from the battle." Seeing that the ashigaru samurai guarding the gate had recognized him, he was relieved and handed the horse to a soldier.An ashigaru samurai asked: "Thank you, has the war started?" Jiu Liu shook his head with a smile, hurried across the moat, and walked into the gate.

Takeuchi Kyuroku was just an ashigaru samurai when he first came, but before this expedition, he had been promoted to a bodyguard and got a small house outside the city.If it was someone else, they would definitely be envied and dissatisfied by their colleagues for receiving this honor, but no one had any objection to Jiu Liu.When he was cleaning and tidying up the stables in the city, he was no different from an ordinary person, but his martial arts skills were extraordinary.He is not only diligent, but also good at counting, which can always come in handy when collecting annual taxes. "This is not an ordinary person." Everyone discussed.Even Oda Nobuhide came to ask Sado Mori Toshikatsu for Kuroku.

"A careful and thoughtful retainer is the treasure of the family." Junsheng politely rejected Xinxiu. Therefore, no one was surprised when the ashigaru samurai recognized this man riding a galloping horse.I don't know when people began to believe that as long as Jiu Liu stayed in Aguju, he would become the elder here one day. After entering the city, he was immediately brought to the inner court to meet his wife.In the past, he could only kneel in the yard and talk to his wife, but with his current status, he can already enter her room. "The master sent someone to send a message to Madam."

Yu Da immediately sat upright. "Thank you. Tell me." Yu Da's voice and attitude were quite different from before.His face was still the same as when he was in Okazaki Castle, but his voice was a little calmer and more confident.This probably shows that her heart is no longer shaken. "First of all, convey the master's message—" Seeing no one around, Jiuliu said: "The war can be avoided. Imagawa Yoshimoto originally ordered Amano Aki Shou Keguan to launch an attack on Tahara on the grounds that Matsudaira Takechiyo was kidnapped, claiming to Attacking as far as Owari in one fell swoop, but that was just a bluff...he will retreat to Suruga only when Tawara Castle has arranged for a new Jodai Ito Sakon Kansuke."

Yu Da pricked up his ears and listened carefully. Jiu Liu continued: "Anyway, the battle will not start immediately. The city lord will return soon, and I will leave everything to you during the stay. These are all the words of the master." "Thank you. So, what happened to the Toda family in Tahara? Is there any news yet?" "That...seems miserable." Jiu Liu glanced at the courtyard and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Xuanguang seems to be a great person, he is going to put all the responsibility on his younger brother Goro alone, and then let Goro take Oda The money rewarded by Xinxiu went far away, and he opened the city gate to submit to Imagawa. But Goro didn't listen..."

"They refused to submit, and finally died in battle?" "They want to flee from the city after dismissing their retainers." Yu Da smiled. "I'm afraid you feel sorry for the stupidity of the Toda family, thinking that they were tempted by Baikan's money to kidnap Takechiyo...but I don't think so." "Why?" "If the entire Toda family is still there, Mrs. Tianyuan will not be in danger of life." Jiu Liu suddenly realized, and patted his knee suddenly.Recently, Yu Da has always seen farther and more thoroughly than him. Indeed, as long as Mr. Toda is still there, Hirota Matsudaira will not have the courage to kill his wife, because things that cannot be seen are always taboo.If Toda followed the Oda clan, Hirochu would be even more scruples.

Even so, Jiu Liu still felt a little strange.In the past, if Yu Da knew that Mrs. Tian Yuan was safe and sound, he might not be surprised, and he would not have such strong compassion and sympathy as in today's words. "Madam's words are not bad. Jiuliu also asked Madam to enlighten me. What's Madam's opinion on Retian?" Retian... Hearing the word "Retian", Yu Da couldn't help but look into the courtyard.Small yellow and white chrysanthemums are clustered together and blooming in full bloom.Among the blooming flowers, Takechiyo's face suddenly appeared when he left Okazaki Castle.This hallucination is not like it used to be, just from crazy sentimentality.In this troubled world, mother and child cannot be expected to live together and share the happiness of family.No matter what the storm is, no matter where Aiko is, she must face it with a calm attitude and wisdom.It is a tireless love, a love that never dies, like the creatures of the earth that are constantly sprouting, blooming, and bearing fruit.She finally understood that only tireless love and calm concern are the true joy of a mother.

Of course, when she learned that Okazaki Castle decided to send Takechiyo to Shunfu as a hostage, she also sighed deeply; when she knew that Takechiyo was kidnapped on the way and sent to Atsuta, she also had many sleepless nights .But she wasn't knocked out. How can I pass on my love to Takechiyo?This thinking is no longer painful, but has become a serious but happy battle.Yu Da stared at the blooming chrysanthemums, and said for a long time, "Takechiyo is going well?" She looked at Jiu Liu with deep eyes, and she must have thought about it for a long time.Jiu six nodded.In fact, he also inquired about Atsuta Takechiyo this time. "Master Takechiyo is the same as when he first entered Atsuta, nothing changed."

"Is it really living in Kato Shuzhu's mansion?" "Yes. Oda Nobuhide's hospitality is very considerate. Mr. Takechiyo often plays origami and puppy games with Abe Tokuchiyo and Amano Sannosuke..." Yu Da didn't miss every word of Jiu Liu.Takeuchi Kyuroku spoke very slowly, as if he was wondering what kind of feeling his words would bring to Yu Da. "In short, the Oda family wants to use the hostages to get the Matsudaira family to support them; but it is impossible to predict whether Hirochu will agree." He added meaningfully. "What does Oda Nobuhide think?"

"He... thinks that nine out of ten will agree." "What if you don't agree?" "According to his personality, he might kill the hostage and hang the body near Sandian Bridge." Jiu Liu replied coldly, and then closely observed Yu Da's reaction.Yu Da's shoulders trembled violently. "If Okazaki asked him to dispose of the hostages he took so hard, he would definitely be dissatisfied." "yes." "Jiu Liu, do you think that Lord Okazaki will save Takechiyo?" Jiu Liu didn't answer, he looked away from Yu Da.Yu Da didn't ask further, and relaxed his tense shoulders. "Guangzhong is a stubborn person." She seemed to be telling herself.

"Ma'am." For a long time, Jiu Liufang said, "Just ignore it like this?" "what do you mean?" "Master Takechiyo." "This...but now I am...and helpless." Her tone was calm, Jiu Liu was speechless.Is it because she has cut off her love and watched coldly, or is it because she has other ideas?Soon, Jiuliu said goodbye.Yu Da kept sending him to the edge of the turret until he was nowhere to be seen, then walked back and went to the Buddhist hall alone. It gets dark early in autumn, and the surrounding area has been shrouded in icy darkness.Yu Da lit incense candles and put his palms together in front of the Buddha.She wanted to understand the way to save her son from the sound of chanting Buddha.Although her tone was calm just now, deep in her heart was surging. Three days after Takenouchi Kyuroku returned to the city, Hisamatsu Sado Mori Toshikatsu returned. After the Imagawa army occupied Tawara Castle of Toda Yasumitsu and his son, only one Shinjodai was left behind, and they hurriedly withdrew to Sumfu. "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Take off your armor and be happy to reunite with your family." The weapons and armor were returned to the warehouse, and the horse returned to the stable. Jun Sheng quickly returned to the inner court.As usual, Yu Da had been kneeling at the entrance of the corridor for a long time. "Welcome to your lord's safe return." After she finished her greetings, she reached out to take the knife, let Jun Sheng go to the main hall, and served tea.In the past, the maids were always asked to serve tea and water. I don't know when, but Yu Da did these things himself.Junsheng is very satisfied with this. "Ma'am, actually..." Jun Sheng squinted at the teacup in his hand, "Master Okazaki seems to be determined to see his son killed. He is really heartless." He said while observing Yu Da's behavior. reaction.Yu Da's face was calm.She silently brought the steamed buns she had just learned to make to her husband. "Hatarou Takeuchi secretly persuaded his elder brother Mizuno Nobumoto to come in, Mizuno-sama also expended a lot of effort, but it seems to have no effect." Yu Da still quietly looked up at her husband, without making a sound. "The envoy, Sojuro Yamaguchi, has already gone to Okazaki. You probably don't know Sojuro, but he is the son of Atsuta priest, and he has excellent eloquence. Sojuro tried his best, but Hirochu only had one sentence—" "What words?" "He said: I am a dignified military commander, I will never be unruly, Takechiyo will let you judge!" Yu Da didn't nod or shake his head.She had expected that Guangzhong would answer like that.Although people in the world are always influenced by interests, they sometimes act according to their will and forget the existence of interests. "Yu Da." "Ok." "When I think about your mood at this moment, I feel very uncomfortable. But I have to tell you about this. Takechiyo was abandoned by Hirochu... I am afraid that I will be..." Yu Da was stunned for a while, and Jun Sheng's eyes were also red, "If it were me, I would give in for the child. Yu Da, I have already sent a letter to Masahide Hirate, asking him to give me the body... so that..." Yu Da suddenly put his hands on the ground.Although she tried her best to control it, she still burst into tears, but there was no panic in her voice, "Please...you don't have to..." "No need?" "Yes. If Oda-sama becomes suspicious because of this, the Hisamatsu family may be in great trouble. Please, my lord..." Hisamatsu Toshikatsu really doubted his ears.It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but Takechiyo is only seven years old after all.Compared with Takechiyo, the wife who is heartbroken by such rumors is more pitiful... It is for this reason that he asked Hirate Masahide, the old Oda family.If Yu Da thinks about him, it means that she is very calm. If it is because of her hatred for Guang Zhong, he can understand it - but what she said still surprised him. "What did you say, but the truth?" "yes." "You... oh, Takechiyo!" Yu Da laid his hands on the tatami, tears streaming down his face. "Mother and child love deeply, it's just right and proper. Mr. Hirai should leave a little bit of leeway. You don't have to worry too much." "My lord..." Yu Da raised his head.Tears flickered in her eyes, "I have a request." "Tell me, if you can, I will satisfy you." "I'll go to Naguno." "Then Furuno? Takechiyo was imprisoned in Atsuta Priest Kato Shusuke's house." "My lord, my concubine is already pregnant." "Ah? You have a child? This..." Jun Sheng straightened his upper body, wondering what Yu Da meant. "I want to go to Tennoji Temple in Furuno to thank the Buddha for his immeasurable merit." "Tianwang Temple? That's in Guye City. Are you going to make a wish?" Jun Sheng asked eagerly, and suddenly seemed to realize something, "Oh, you want to use this to go to Retian?" "yes." "You mean, instead of paying homage after death, it's better to say goodbye now?" "Yes." Yu Da replied honestly, "Please allow me, my lord." "Oh." "Lose a child, gain a child... This is the mercy of the Buddha. I want to see the child who is about to lose, and then welcome the child who is about to come." Jun Sheng looked away from his wife and fell into deep thought.The memorial service after death may cause Oda Nobuhide's dissatisfaction and suspicion, but if he conceals his identity and goes to visit now, no one will know it.The same is asking for others, so it may be more appropriate. "Okay. But, no matter what, don't reveal your identity..." He warned, and then lowered his voice, "Also, if you see Takechiyo already before you visit the Tennoji Temple in Furuno...you can Come back in peace?" Yu Da nodded firmly. "As long as you allow me to visit Tennoji Temple, the rest will be left to God's will." "Okay. You can take some clever servants to pay homage at Tianwang Temple, in the name of my Junsheng's wife." That night, Junsheng's heart was broken.If it is a man, he can go to Guye in one day, but a woman has to go for a day and a night.In addition to topping Tai Masahide to arrange accommodation for Yu Da, he must also tell Zheng Xiu of Yu Da's purpose.It's hard to go there, I hope to see you, it's best not to make trouble.That night, Junsheng personally wrote letters to Hirate Masahide until late at night.This letter must not be ghostwritten. At Yudai's request, Takeuchi Kyuroku was selected as an entourage.Jiu Liu has remained silent on this matter.After some earnest instructions from Jun Sheng, Yu Da and his party left Aguju City at 4:00am the next morning. Yu Da rides in a sedan chair, and Jiu Liu rides a horse to accompany him.The box carried by the servants contained offerings to Tennoji, as well as silk and fruit snacks to be given to Takechiyo. It would be great if I could meet Takechiyo smoothly.While thinking this way, Jiu Liu paid attention to the sedan chair, while Yu Da was almost expressionless, keeping his eyes closed all the time.In order not to affect the fetus in the womb, at the request of Jun Sheng, she specially chose a stable and slow sedan chair.When we arrived at Guye, it was almost time.Yu Da finally opened the car curtain. "I want to greet the city lord Nobunaga first." She said to Jiu Liu.Jiu Liu was puzzled, "Should I go to see the old man Hirate-sama first?" "No, go see the city lord first." After Yu Da finished speaking quietly, he gently lowered the sedan chair curtain. The city lord Nobunaga is the fourteen-year-old Master Ji who just finished the Yuanfu ceremony this spring.His reputation in the Oda family is very bad.Since the eldest brother Xinguang was sent to Anxiang City, he has been praised as both wise and brave, while Nobunaga, the son of the royal family and who should inherit the cause of Xinxiu, is regarded as a hopeless wimp.Yu Da actually wants to meet Nobunaga who has a bad reputation before meeting Masahide Hirate... Guye's city gate is indeed not comparable to Aguju Castle, but comparable to Okazaki Castle.It is said that Nobunaga's father Nobuhide took this castle from the Imagawa family overnight.The iron nailed city gate is tall and majestic, and there are many ancient trees outside the city. Aragami, Wakamiya, and Tianwangji are closely connected, and a deep moat surrounds it. Yu Da and his entourage stopped outside the city gate, and Takeuchi Jiuro stepped forward to inform him of his intention. "Who is in the sedan chair?" A group of people came towards them, and a young man in a strange suit asked aloud.Yu Da suddenly lifted the car curtain and looked out, "Ah!" She couldn't help holding her breath.The young man sat proudly on a man's shoulders and was munching. A man as fierce as a bull, wearing a magnificent breastplate and holding a red and white bridle, and the young man sat leisurely on his shoulders.If he was still a child of five or six years old, it would be understandable to do so, and people would just laugh it off, but he is already a young man exuding youthfulness.His hair was coiled up, and the knot was also red and white.The kimono materials and patterns on her body are unusual, but her breasts are exposed and her skirts are messy.There are five or six fish that seem to have just been caught hanging from his waist, as well as a seal cage and a fire bag, and he wears a four-foot-long big knife with a red scabbard.The most confounding thing is the way his left sleeve is rolled up high and he is gobbling.His face was tense, his eyes were burning like a ball of fire, and his white teeth were chewing, making people think that he was a nobleman who had gone mad, or a leopard that had broken free from its cage. An ashigaru warrior following Yu Da was very frightened. "Don't get close!" He raised his gun, but the boy didn't even look at him, and ordered: "Open the car curtain." Yu Da had been staring at the young man's face from the sedan chair, and at this moment, his heart froze, and he hurriedly opened the sedan chair curtain.no doubt.He is the castle lord Oda Nobunaga.The childish face of Master Ji whom I saw when we met for the first time in Xiong Mansion had disappeared without a trace, only the sharp eyes and beautiful eyebrows remained, which awakened Yu Da's memory.Nobunaga turned to Yu Da, his gaze was like a sword. "My lord, I am Hisamatsu Sado Mamoru's wife." "Oh. What's your business here?" "To make a wish at Tianwang Temple, I want to pay my respects to the city lord first." Nobunaga nodded casually, then put the rein in his mouth, clapped his hands a few times, and knocked off the rice grains stuck to his fingers, "Do you know which god is enshrined in Tennoji Temple?" "Know." "Then tell me. I hate the kind of ordinary people who only know how to worship God but don't know why." "The ones enshrined there are Bingtou God and Tianerwugen Mingshen." "So you want to pray for your child's health and safety?" "yes." Hearing Yu Da's affirmative answer, Nobunaga suddenly had a mischievous smile in his eyes. "Okay, please come in. I still remember you." After finishing speaking, he raised the whip with his right hand and beat the man under his crotch hard.The man looked serious and yelled "moo moo".There is a tacit understanding between them.Jiu Liu has been staring blankly at everything in front of him. At this moment, the gate of the big city opened with a creak.The naughty city lord, who was acting like a horse, entered the city without looking back, and disappeared leisurely. Jiu Liu leaned against Yu Da's sedan chair.Yu Da was still staring at the place where Nobunaga disappeared, she almost forgot the existence of time. Nobunaga's words just now caused Yu Da to ponder: "Do you want to pray for the health and safety of your child?" Does the "own child" in his mouth mean Takechiyo or the child in his womb?In short, Yu Da felt that Nobunaga was unusual since the accidental encounter in Xiong's mansion.He has a compelling edge. Yu Da heard from her husband Jun Sheng that Nobunaga's first expedition this spring was also very strange.He is only fourteen years old, what Xinxiu meant was to let him practice.With the feather fan scarf and helmet bright and neatly dressed, Nobunaga drove towards Mikawa Kira Ohama of the Imagawa Clan. Nobuhide originally planned to let him shoot an arrow and then return immediately.But when Nobunaga arrived at Ohama, he suddenly set fire around the city. Instead of returning immediately after that, Jing also leisurely admired the fierce flames and camped under the city.The enemy was confused by the flames, thinking that Mr. Oda came prepared, so he let Nobunaga do whatever he wanted. Nobunaga looks as handsome as Okazaki Johiro, but his temperament is quite different.He has lofty ambitions, but he is not lacking in intelligence... This is Yu Da's point of view.Of course Yu Da hoped that Nobunaga would help Takechiyo to come back to life, but there was also a danger in this raptor, if he was not careful, it would threaten Yu Da. Yu Da was put into the city.Near Liuyuan, Xinxiu built an academy-style bedroom for his son, which was filled with the elegance of Dongshan style, but it was incompatible with Nobunaga's personality. "You lied to me in Xiong Mansion." Yu Dayi came in, and Nobunaga opened his mouth, then sat down cross-legged, and roughly ordered the guards: "Get down!" "You are not Xiong Ruoguan's family, but Mizuno Shimomori's younger sister and Matsudaira Hironata's ex-wife, right?" "My lord, forgive me." Yu Da's slender eyes were shining brightly, filled with deep affection, which made people feel very at ease, "At that time, in order not to spoil Mr. Hataro's elegance, I had to say that." "Yaxing..." Nobunaga smiled meaningfully, and his expression did not look like a boy who was only fourteen years old. "Everything in life is not without elegance, and today is no exception. What did you bring to me this time?" "Yes, mother's heart...just this one." "Okay, give it to me." Nobunaga suddenly stretched out his hand and took a step forward... Yu Da moved forward.She came here this time with the determination to die.Apart from asking this person for help without telling her husband, Yu Da couldn't think of any other way. "Please accept it..." Tears were shining in her eyes. "Dedicated to you, mother's heart... mother's heart..." She choked up excitedly.His shoulders trembled, his voice became confused, and tears fell down. Fourteen-year-old Nobunaga suddenly burst out laughing. "I've accepted it. I've accepted it. I've accepted your gift. That's it." Yu Da lowered his head quietly and didn't move for a while. Nobunaga clapped his hands and called his servants.The visitor looked very mighty, younger than Nobunaga, and about the same appearance as Nobunaga. "Inuchiyo, this is Mrs. Hisamatsu Sado Mori. Madam, this is Maeda Inuchiyo. Let's get to know each other." Inu Chiyo stared at Yu Da.Yu Da also glanced at Inu Chiyo.Nobunaga didn't know what to think, and laughed again. "Inuchiyo, have you seen Atsuta's guests?" "A guest from Atsuta?" "That kid from Okazaki." Inuchiyo shook his head.Judging from his attitude, the two of them were not so much master and servant as close companions. "Haven't seen it yet? Then you go too. Go and meet him." Inuchiyo said: "With this woman..." He stared at Yu Da again. "Please be careful, my lord." "Why?" Nobunaga sneered. "Master Hirate is going to be angry again. Besides, you and Ms. Nohime are getting married soon." "Haha..." Nobunaga laughed loudly while clutching his stomach.Miss Noohime in the mouth of Inuchiyo is the daughter of Saito Dosan, the lord of Mino Inaba Mountain.Now the two are negotiating their marriage.Of course, this is also a strategic marriage.Saito Dosan asked Zhi'er to marry into his old enemy's house in order to win the favor of Oda Nobuhide; while Oda wanted to get a hostage. "Inuchiyo!" Nobunaga calmed down, and immediately turned his attention to Yuda, "Inuchiyo doubts our relationship. Haha, right, Inuchiyo?" Yu Dagang didn't understand what it meant at first, but after thinking about it for a while, his face turned red.Fourteen-year-old Nobunaga, twenty-four-year-old self.This is especially sensitive on the eve of a wedding.Nobunaga's ability to see through this clearly reflects his precocity. Seeing Yu Da blushing, Nobunaga continued: "Inu Chiyo is always able to see clearly. This lady Nobunaga met when she was eleven years old. Today we are going to Atsuta together, but don't worry. I have seen Okazaki. Boy, let her go to Atsuta Shrine to worship, and then hand her over to the teacher. You go tell the teacher and let him go to Atsuta with us. Go!" Inuchiyo saluted and stood up. Yu Da couldn't help looking at Nobunaga again.Although the appearance is comparable, Nobunaga's sharpness and calmness are obviously better than Inu Chiyo.Thinking of the deep meaning contained in these words, and thinking about the situation where he was a horse just now, he is completely different. "He is really a bold and unrestrained person, a samurai who is informal but full of emotion." Yu Da was so grateful in his heart that he even wanted to kneel down. Not long after, Zhengxiu, the assistant minister of Pingzhong, came in a hurry.Now Zhengxiu, along with three other old family members Shingoro Hayashi, Aoyama, Sanzaemon, and Katsusuke Naito, are assisting this young "big fool" in Furuno Castle.As soon as Zhengxiu entered the room, he said in an orderly tone: "Please prepare to go, young master." Nobunaga got up and walked out. "Sado Mamoru should have a letter to bring?" Zhengxiu asked Yu Da in a low voice.He seemed to be able to completely see through the mind of that "fool" he had cultivated by himself.He unfolded Hisamatsu's letter, "Don't specifically talk about saving Takechiyo." He reminded in a low voice, "The city lord has such a character, if someone criticizes him, he will dismiss it. But since he has been entrusted to him, I hope he can take care of it." matter." Yu Da was very envious of this pair of master and apprentice.Nobunaga looks a little silly on the surface, but he hides extraordinary capacity. Although Zhengxiu is as unassuming as the lights in the daytime, he does everything well.It would be great if Takechiyo had such a teacher, she couldn't help thinking.At this time, Nobunaga came back excitedly: "Teacher." "The city lord." "You and Hisamatsu Sadomori are very close friends. Madam will be staying at your house tonight." "yes." "Let's go. It's getting late. Inuchiyo, is the horse brought?" Inuchiyo still looked serious, but he nodded. "Where are people's sedan chairs?" "It's ready." "Don't talk nonsense. Tell them, you must arrive before the horse team." After Inuchiyo took the order to go, Nobunaga, Yuda, and Masahide left the gate in turn.This time Nobunaga rode a strong Lianqianwei horse.In the afternoon sun, it kept raising its front hooves.Out of the gate, Nobunaga galloped over like a child and jumped on his horse.Without making a sound, he galloped away.Under Zhengxiu's watchful eyes, Inu Chiyo also turned over and rode a chestnut horse.The two left like a gust of wind. None of this is surprising.Rather than saying that Nobunaga ignores all secular etiquette, it is better to say that he is deliberately rebellious and only likes to do things according to his own wishes.And Zhengxiu, who condoned Nobunaga's behavior, can be described as ingenious. "Quick, let's go." No matter how arbitrary Nobunaga was, Zhengxiu was always very calm.After letting Yu Da into the sedan chair, he himself got on the horse, followed closely behind Yu Da's sedan chair, and left the city gate. Yu Da suddenly felt flustered.It has been three years since we parted ways with Takechiyo.The emotion of the passage of time made her heart beat faster, her throat became dry, and her eyes became hot. When Yu Da's sedan chair was carried into Kato Shuzhu's mansion in Retian, the sun had already set in the west. The ill-fated child who was abandoned by Hirotada and was about to be beheaded by Oda Nobuhide was here. Because this is the place where Takechiyo was imprisoned, Yu Da thought it must be very heavily guarded, but this is not the case.The mansion in the setting sun was quiet.Only two junior warriors armed with six-foot clubs guarded the gate, and there was no sign of heavy security.The mansion is surrounded by a low fence, and the courtyard is full of towering trees.There are mostly nanmu and vertebral trees inside, and there is no feeling of bleakness in winter.The first two horses were tied to the bare plane trees. After the sedan chair stopped, there was no one to greet him, only the servants put the wooden clogs in front of the sedan chair.Yu Da got off the sedan chair, Ping Zhongwu was in front, followed by Yu Da, and entered the courtyard. "I'll be there in a while..." Zhengxiu said while walking quietly, "Don't let Takechiyo see your identity." Yu Da nodded. The fourth wall is the dividing line between the outer court and the inner court, and the chai gate is wide open.After entering, one can see the Li Palace-style house at a glance. It is a simple academy-style building, and Nobunaga is sitting by the window.Maeda Inuchiyo was also sitting in front of the window.Opposite them were three children sitting in a circle, not knowing what they were doing.Taking a closer look, one of the children is making origami while the other two are watching. Yu Da couldn't help but stop.Several children are similar in figure and hairstyle.She didn't know which one was Takechiyo, and she was too nervous to approach.But Ping Zhongwu walked steadily to the corridor, and Yu Da had no choice but to follow. "How, is it ready?" Nobunaga was still sitting in front of the window, and asked the origami child. "Soon," the child replied, "it would look beautiful if you could make wings out of red, purple, and yellow cloth." He seemed to be making origami cranes, making wings. Yu Da finally approached the corridor and looked at the three children carefully.Those children and Nobunaga didn't seem to see Yu Dahe Zhengxiu, and ignored others at all. "Takechiyo is so patient," Nobunaga said. Yu Da's body couldn't help trembling.The child of the origami crane is Takechiyo?But Takechiyo didn't answer.He was tilting his head, thinking about how to add more color to the wings.Yu Da could only see his forehead.She suddenly had an impulse, she wanted to hold that face up and let him look at her. Takechiyo is the mother.Don't you know that your mother is standing by your side?Yu Da bit his lip, staring at the origami in Takechiyo's hand, thinking in his heart. Takechiyo finally raised his head.His eyes were calm, and the moment his eyes turned to Da's body, his eyes suddenly radiated a golden light like the morning sun.That face was quite similar to that of his grandfather Mizuno Tadomasa.He didn't know the disaster that was coming, he didn't know the hidden danger, and he didn't even know that the trembling woman standing in front of him was his mother!After a while, he turned his attention to the paper crane in his hand. Nobunaga had been gloating at the actions of the mother and son in front of him, and at this moment he suddenly called out, "Takechiyo." "Oh?" Takechiyo didn't look up either. "Do you like me, or hate me?" "I don't know." "Hmph. Do you know who I am?" "Know." "Know? Tell me." "Oda Nobunaga." "Oh." Nobunaga nodded and looked at Yu Da again.The conversation between him and Takechiyo seemed to be for Yu Da.Nobunaga said: "Takechiyo." "Ok?" "You were supposed to go to Junfu, why did you come to Retian, do you know?" "Know." "What if you were killed in Retian?" Takechiyo was suddenly silent, but the movements of his hands did not stop. "I... I, Nobunaga, feel that you are like my younger brother. If you say that, you still hate me?" Seeing that Takechiyo was still silent, Amano Sannosuke lightly touched Takechiyo's knee with his finger. "Sannosuke, what's wrong?" "Please call back, sir." "No. Takechiyo doesn't like to lie." "Hahaha." Nobunaga laughed, "You hate lying, but you just said that you didn't know whether you liked me or hated me, so you were lying." "No! Everyone says Nobunaga is a jerk, I'm thinking about it." "Bastard, you bastard, you can't hold back your mouth!" "If it's a bastard and a fool, I hate it even more." "No?" "We can be brothers and play together. Right, Sannosuke?" This time it was Tokuchiyo Abe who touched Takechiyo's knee with his finger.Takechiyo finally folded the origami crane.There was a smile on his mouth, and he played with the paper crane. "Give this to the letter chief." "Give me?" Takechiyo nodded without hesitation, and handed the paper crane over. "The crane's feathers are so beautiful. Where is it from?" "This kind of general is very weak, because it is made of paper." "Oh? Then I'll make a pair of the same armor and put it on." "Why?" "Because it's too powerful, troublesome." Nobunaga said. "Will it be troublesome if you are strong?" "Hahaha, making others feel troublesome. Oda Nobunaga was born to be so powerful, so troublesome. It was born." Nobunaga's words seemed to be in line with Takechiyo's intentions, he nodded slightly, then stood up suddenly and ran away, as if he was holding his breath. "Forgive me." He said as he ran to the stone next to Yu Da and began to urinate. "Take Chiyo." "What's up?" "Are there no earthworms under the rock?" "It doesn't matter." "I mean, if you piss on an earthworm, your dick is going to bend." "Won't." "So you've sprinkled it many times?" Takechiyo nodded and slowly straightened up.Yu Da has been watching his every move.Nobunaga quickly turned his attention to Hirate Masahide.Hirate Masahide was looking at the sunset, anxious, as if signaling Nobunaga to return quickly. "Takechiyo, are you not lonely?" Takechiyo remained silent. "You don't answer any questions you don't like, do you?" "Yes. Don't ask about things that are taken for granted." "Hey, Takechiyo criticized me. Well, let's call it a day. Oh, one more thing, do you remember your mother?" "do not remember." "Don't want to see me?" "I can't answer you." "Hahahaha... This is your answer. Takechiyo, I tried every means to save you from death, and you don't like it?" Hearing Nobunaga's unexpected question, Yu Da's body trembled.Not only Yu Dai, Hirate Masahide and Maeda Inuchiyo also looked at Takechiyo in horror.Everyone understood at this time that Nobunaga meant to save Takechiyo's life, but they didn't know how the little Okazaki guy would answer, and they all waited with interest. Takechiyo looked at Nobunaga's face, smiled, and then said lightly: "I like it, you can do that." "Okay, see you next time." Nobunaga excitedly stood up from under the window and strode into the courtyard.The gentle expression just now was wiped out, and he hurried to his beloved horse with a stern expression, and suddenly looked back at Yu Da who was following behind, and said, "I will make him like me. Of course, the day when we meet in battle will be another It's a different matter. But he is not allowed to hate me in the depths of his heart. If he holds a grudge, I will tear him into eight pieces. Inu Chiyo, follow me!" After he finished speaking decisively, he jumped on the horse, and in an instant, It has already galloped to the gate under the setting sun, and quickly disappeared. Yu Da was still standing there blankly.His mother's wish finally came true, and Nobunaga promised to save Takechiyo's life... "Let's go." Hirate Masahide urged, "It's really hard to tell which is the best. Our young master is a dragon and a phoenix among people, and Takechiyo is not a thing in a pool. Mrs. Kariya gave birth to a good son." "Yes... yes." Yu Da seemed to be in a daze.
