[Comprehensive] Love and Hunter

Chapter 225 225

As soon as the night in Furuno City fell, the inside and outside of the mansion became quiet.

Yuna was sitting alone in the room, Hikekiri's warning words seemed to be faintly lingering in her ears.

——"You are not Saito Guicho, nor are you that man's wife."

She is not Saito Guidie, nor Oda Nobunaga's wife.

The woman who accompanied the boy on the road to hegemony was someone else; and she was someone who had nothing to do with Oda Nobunaga.

After a long time, Yuna sighed softly.

At this moment, the voice of the knee pill sounded outside the door: "Riguang, the summons has arrived."

She pushed open the door, only to see the joyful face of Kagemaru. "It's news to cheer them up...they have found the real Saito Guidie, and they are fine, so they will be sent back tonight."

She was a little surprised, and asked, "Have you found it yet?"

"Yeah. Yiqi is very powerful. With him, any problem can be solved." Knemaru seems to trust the captain very much.Immediately, he breathed a sigh of relief calmly, and said, "In this way, our mission is over, and we should think about how to get out of this Guye city. It doesn't seem appropriate to just leave, otherwise, we Let's play some little thieves, shall we?"

When Yuna heard this, she silently smiled wryly.It would be really desolate and disgraceful for such noble people as Kememaru and Higiri to play the role of the thief.But if they do nothing and just walk away, it may cause another wave of confusion.

After thinking about it, Yuna said, "Can you allow me to have a few words with that Nobunaga-sama?"

Kagemaru's expression became tense. "Don't you want it?" He clasped Yuna's shoulders, his tone very guarded, "That man...it's weird, he's still undressing in front of you. Don't get too close to him, Nikko."

"It's just a few words." Yuna comforted, "Your Excellency, please wait for me here."

/ / /

On the night of early spring, the rustling cold permeated the wilderness.Even if a brazier is lit in the room, it still can't drive away the chilly coldness.The boy Nobunaga sat cross-legged on the main seat, holding a roll of maps in his hand.The dim light of the candle cast a faint shadow, vaguely illuminating the family pattern of the five-petaled papaya on the window sash.

"It's so late, what's the matter with Gui Die?" Nobunaga put down the roll of map and looked over with burning eyes, "I want you to have a good rest, so I didn't look for you at night."

Yuna sat on the side, a little hesitant about how to speak.

How should she explain it to Nobunaga?

She was just a little thief who was interested in money, and she entered Guye City pretending to be Princess Guidie just to cheat food and drink.Now that the real princess is back, she has to run away.

—How should she tell the story?

No matter how you tell it, Nobunaga will be furious.She really didn't dare to think about that scene.

"Lord Nobunaga..." Finally, she opened her mouth and whispered, "If I deceived you, how would you deal with me?" She lowered her head and her voice was very soft.

Oda Nobunaga did not speak, breathing slowly.After a while, there was a light rustling of the scroll from above.Nobunaga stood up, walked to her side, and said, "Are you talking about pretending to be Gui Die?"

"Eh?"

Yuna suddenly raised her head, her surprised gaze

In the picture, the sharp and energetic face of the young Nobunaga is reflected.He stared at her with those obsidian eyes, his tone and expression were not disturbed.

"Master Nobunaga...do you know?" She couldn't believe it.

"I'm not really a fool. Even if everyone in the Owari country says that about me, I'm not that kind of pure fool." Nobunaga's voice showed a rare sophistication, "What is the real Guicho like? , I have already sent someone to Inabayama Castle to inquire about it. It is impossible for me to let Mino Viper's daughter sleep peacefully beside her pillow without any suspicion."

Yuna was silent, her eyes averted a little.

"The difference between you and Gui Die is too great." Nobunaga squatted down, and counted with his fingers seriously, "You can't ride a horse, which is too incredible for the daughter of the Wu family. Especially It's Saito Guidie - she married into the Toki family when she was 11 years old. A woman who marries into the enemy camp must learn to ride a horse no matter what. This is to save her life. When you say you can't ride a horse, I probably I already guessed that you are not the real Gui Die."

Yuna lowered her head, clenched her cuffs lightly, without saying a word.

"Also, your personality, appearance, and strength are all far behind Gui Die." Nobunaga stood up and walked towards the moonlight in the courtyard, "Gui Die is a heroic woman. , but she is very thin, and definitely not someone who can easily lift an iron cannon. Her personality is not gentle... When my emissary went to inquire, he was beaten by Gui Die and the maid with a broom. Do you believe it? "

Yuna: ...

Uh... Is Gui Die such a woman?

She had heard some anecdotes about Saito's return to the butterfly.It is said that when Guicho was married to Owari, her father Saito Toshimasa gave Guicho a dagger, saying that if Oda Nobunaga is really useless, then use this dagger to kill Nobunaga and help his father Capture Owari country.But Gui Die replied: "Father, how does he know that this short knife will not face you?"

It can be seen that Gui Die's character is firm and independent.

"It turns out that you have always been aware of this." Yuna sighed and said, "It's a pity that you haven't revealed it."

"I received a tip that Gui Die was kidnapped—it should have been so, so I sent my subordinates to track down Gui Die's whereabouts. However, you appeared at such a time...I have to be suspicious. At first, I just wanted to see what you and those subordinates were planning. You have entered the Furuno City and have no help inside and outside, so you can only let me deal with it. I thought you had some backup, but it looks like I'm not prepared." Nobunaga frowned, showing a look of doubt, "I can't figure it out...you pretended to be a butterfly and came to me, what is it for?"

Her eyelashes trembled, her mouth opened and closed.After a while, she said: "...I just want to cheat some money."

"Cheating money?" Nobunaga repeated, laughing, "Cheating has come to my city, is there such a bold female liar in the world? What's more, according to your appearance and personality, why bother to cheat?" What about it? You are more like the daughter of a down and out noble family... Did your father and brother lose their power? Did you fall into a situation where no one can protect you?"

She said: "If Master Xinda doesn't believe it, forget it."

The boy Nobunaga raised his eyebrows and said, "What's your name? Your real name."

"……excellent."

"Excellent?" Nobunaga raised his head, muttered in his mouth, and asked again, "Do you still remember what I asked you?"

"……what?"

"Are you willing to stay by my side all the time? Not as Princess Guidie of Mino Kingdom, but as my woman." Nobunaga looked at her, with a faint light in his dark eyes. It is the reflection of a burning candle, "Even if you deceive me, I can keep you."

Yuna was a little surprised.

Oda Nobunaga...is he actually such a generous person?As a lord, shouldn't he get angry when he was cheated by a woman?

"I like you very much." Nobunaga's voice is quite straightforward, "Although you are not Guidie, I like your character, and your determination and trust in me. I really hope that there is someone who can always believe in you Me, I support all my decisions. Even if I say something like 'living in Cheongju' like a fool, she will not laugh at my idiotic dream. Yu, can you stay?"

Yuna stared blankly, not knowing what to say for a while.

After a while, she shook her head heavily and said, "Master Nobunaga, you can't do this."

"Why?" Nobunaga was a little puzzled.

"The real Princess Guidie will be back soon." She said, "In order to show respect to the Mino Kingdom, you must not show your affection for other women when you marry her... Maybe, for You are right, Princess Guidie is just a stranger who has never met before, but this marriage is not just a matter of two people, it is also a matter of Mino, Owari, and the world. When I say this, Lord Nobunaga should understand ?”

Shinji was stunned for a long time.

"I can't tell, you know a lot." Nobunaga laughed, rolled his sleeves up his arms, and looked at the old wound on his hand leisurely, "You're right. I really shouldn't have done this...Really The returning butterfly will not be happy either.".

After all, Nobunaga sighed, and looked up at the sky again: "My subordinates just came to report that Gui Die has been seen. I don't know what kind of person the real Gui Die is, and is he easy to get along with? It’s all over again.”

There was a bewildered look on the boy's face, which was in line with his age.

From the looks of it, he seemed to let go of the impulsive idea of ​​letting Yuna stay.

A momentary emotional impulse may still not be able to compare with the interests of the entire country.He is Oda Nobunaga, the future overlord of the world, not a person whose mind will be controlled by a momentary love.

Yuna breathed a sigh of relief, and asked: "Then how will Mr. Nobunaga deal with me? I impersonate the princess of Mino Kingdom, which is a serious crime. Although it is a good thing to find the real princess, but, I..."

Nobunaga laughed: "You haven't been able to deceive me from the beginning. Is this considered cheating? I won't punish you, I will let you go."

Yuna blinked in surprise. .

"Besides, I didn't see any malice from you." Nobunaga said, "Neither you nor the people you brought along showed any malice towards me...It's very strange. I think people are very Sure, if you have ulterior motives and want to deceive me, you will definitely not be able to escape my eyes."

"Is that so……?"

Nobunaga nodded.He looked at the woman in front of him, and after a while, he said, "Okay. It's already late, go back and rest. I'll open the door and see you off when the sun rises tomorrow."

His eyes were black, like boundless

late at night.

Yuna stood up slowly, saluted him, and retreated towards the door.When she reached the door of the shoji paper, Nobunaga suddenly stopped her again.

"It's very cold here in spring at night." Nobunaga said, "Remember to put on an extra layer of clothing."

She was a little surprised.

After hesitating for a moment, she still wanted to say something to Nobunaga.So, she said solemnly: "Lord Nobunada, please treat Lord Guidie seriously. She is a woman who can truly accompany you for the rest of your life... Please don't miss it."

"Yes." Nobunaga nodded and said, "I understand."

"You will definitely realize your ideal." She saluted Nobunaga, "The long-cherished wish about 'Peace and Paradise'... will definitely come true."

"Okay." Nobunaga said, "I believe it. Because that's what you said."

She turned around and slowly descended the wooden steps outside the sounding board.That Furuno City was sleeping in the quiet moonlight, and the silver moonlight flowed all over the ground.The chilly wind on the spring night blows the green night on the branches. This is February in the 18th year of Tianwen.

/ / /

At night, the news that "the real Princess Guidie has been found" had already reached Guye City.At that time, Yuna, Hikiri, and Kemaru had already left the city, and they were waiting leisurely on the cliff outside the city for Yiqi Yizhen to come and gather.

Even though it was night, Furuno's castellan's mansion was brightly lit, which shows how shocking Princess Guidie was——

The woman who was grandly welcomed into the city as a "princess" was a counterfeit. She had been cheating on eating and drinking in the mansion, and even rode with Lord Nobunaga on horseback. He came out and is now being escorted to Furuno Castle under the protection of the Mino samurai.

The night wind was blowing, and Yuna stood on the cliff, brushing her long hair blown away by the wind.Looking at the wall of Furuno City in the distance, she murmured: "Isn't it good that we just climbed over the wall like this? The samurai who wanted to capture us searched the city for nothing, and we will give them Make trouble."

Under the moonlight, Furuno City was immersed in the soft night, looking peaceful and peaceful.

Kemaru beside her laughed: "Why do you have to think about those samurai? This is a trivial matter, and history will repair itself. We will become a few daring thieves who broke into Furuno City, and then there will be no news."

After a pause, Kenmaru asked: "Nikko, before... what did you talk to that Nobunaga-sama?"

"Farewell." She said, "Oda Nobunaga is not a real fool, he has already seen that something is wrong with me. After all, I don't look like a 14-year-old girl."

"Sure enough, it's because you look too anxious to grow up..." Keemaru said unconsciously.

"...Your Excellency Keimaru." She glanced at Keimaru, "Are you praising me?"

"Uh... I don't mean any harm!!" Kagemaru hurried over to coax her, "I must be praising you, Nikko."

How could he say that his lover is not good?Of course, I want to praise Nikko that she looks like a mature woman, Yamato Nadeko.Isn't this the brother's word?That's what my brother said, so why isn't Sunlight angry at him...

Straight man question.jpg

Seeing that Kemaru was walking around beside Yuna, with Mustache on the side holding his chin, he suddenly started to ask a strange question: "Speaking of which, did you see me?"

brother? "

Knee Maru: ...?

"Brother! I'm right here!"

Now, Kemaru stopped circling around Yuna, and started circling around his brother.Higakiri nodded in satisfaction, and said to Kemaru, "So my younger brother is here."

Yuna: ...

What an unpredictable brother.

After waiting for a while, Yiqi Yizhen, Mikazuki Munekin and Tsurumaru Kuninaga came to reconcile.From the point of view of spirit and appearance, they didn't encounter any hard battles, and everything was fine.Especially Yue Zongjin in the third day, as if he had just joined a sunset red tour group for the elderly, and he was still the kind who took the tour guide seat on the bus (...), with a relaxed expression.

"Hi-Hi!" Tsurumaru Kuninaga waved his crane wings energetically, and greeted the three Yuna, "You are not in danger, are you? Our side surprised the retrograde army! Suddenly Appeared gorgeously, took Princess Guidie back, and the retrograde army was completely disrupted by us, and it was completely defeated!"

In the first phase, he laughed bitterly and said, "It's not that exaggerated. But Mr. He has indeed made a lot of contributions." After finishing speaking, he turned to Yuna and asked, "Sunlight, how about you?"

"Ah... us..." Yuna glanced back at Furuno City, and said with a smile, "We were just little thieves who swindled food and drink for a while. Now we have been kicked out by the city lord, and we haven't encountered any other dangers. "

"Thief...?" Yi Qi Yi raised his eyebrows with confusion.But he didn't ask too much, but after confirming that the mission goal was achieved, he began to prepare for the time-space transmission. "It's almost time to go back to Honmaru. It took a long time to come out this time. Maybe the lord has been waiting anxiously."

When the white light transmitted by time and space was on, Yuna glanced back at the city belonging to the boy Oda Nobunaga.The city was indistinct, as if someone was walking around, she wanted to take a last look, but at this moment her hands were held.

She glanced out of the corner of her eye, and it was Mustache.

Hidekiri held her hand, smiled silently at her, and mouthed to remind her: "It's time to go."

The coat wrapped around his shoulders fluttered wildly in the night wind.

Yuna laughed too, and nodded.The two stepped into the white light transmitted by time and space together, and left in February of the 18th year of Tianwen.

/ / /

This mission took longer than usual, and when we returned to Honmaru, it was already nighttime, the moon was high in the sky, and there were a few ostentatious lights on the corridor.

Tsurumaru Kuninaga's head popped out a word "Yu", which shows that the crane really made a great contribution this time.

"It's already so late..." Yiqi Yizhen looked at the sky and said, "Everyone, go back and rest, I'll go to the lord right away, the lord must be worried about us too."

"Okay."

After Yizheng hurriedly ran towards the lord's residence, Tsurumaru swung his arms and wanted to touch Yuna's shoulder again: "Nikko, are you tired? Would you like to come to my place and drink some cold beer... "

"Tsuramaru, wait!" Kneemaru flashed in front of Tsurumaru, pushed back Tsurumaru's hand, and warned righteously, "Take your hand back. Nikko is a girl, don't be weird thing!"

Tsurumaru:?

Are you her brother too?

"Tsurumaru, you are not tired

? "Sanri Yue Zongjin also spoke with a smile, "My body is about to fall apart... You can still drag people to drink beer, you are really enviable, hahahaha..."

Yuna watched them gag, and echoed, "I'm really tired, everyone, please go back and rest. Let's talk about beer and so on next time." Playing the role of the princess is very tiring!After all, you have to keep on airs!

After speaking, she waved to her teammates and left first.

"Wait, Nikko—" Kenmaru wanted to call her, but was held back by his elder brother.

"Did you see my brother?" Hikiri asked him kindly, "Where did my brother go?"

Knee Maru: "...I'm right in front of you! Brother!"

Keimaru wanted to catch up with Yuna, but was caught by his brother.

/ / /

Yuna first went to the Longchuan faction's residence to report to her elder brother that she was safe.After saying hello to Candekiri, Yuna went to the room where Honmaru kept books.There are many volumes of books in this room, most of which are historical materials, for everyone to discuss tactics before going out to battle.She rarely comes here, but Yiqi Yizhen is a frequent visitor here.

In the deep night, she walked through the rows of bookshelves and stopped in front of a certain row of bookcases.With the help of the dim light, she took out one of the thread-bound books, which contained old events of the Warring States Period.

She flipped through a few pages casually, and saw the text about Oda Nobunaga.

In the fourth year of Tensho, Oda Nobunaga began to build Azuchi Castle in Minami Omi.In the seventh year of Tianzheng, the magnificent Antu City with five floors and seven floors was completed.This city is extremely strong, with vermilion and azure as the main colors, and the Catholic Tower is built, which is the important monument for Oda Nobunaga to lead to the unification of the world.

"Antu" means a peaceful land.

Ten years after the change of Honno-ji Temple in Tianzheng, Oda Nobunaga died, and Azuchi Castle was reduced to ashes, leaving only a ruined wall.

"sunlight?"

Just as she was engrossed in reading, a voice called out to her ears. She couldn't help but startled a little. The book in her hand almost fell, but luckily someone came to hold her up.

"...Higakiri-dono?"

The person who appeared next to her was Hikiri.Under the dim candlelight, mustache cut hair showed a very pale warm golden color.Seeing Yuna's surprised look, he tilted his head and smiled, and said, "Are you scared by me? What are you looking at? You look very engrossed."

"...It's nothing." Yuna closed the book, trying to put it back on the shelf.

"Huh?" Higaki stopped her action, opened the book forcefully, glanced at the words on the book, and said, "Are you reading the story of Mr. Nobunaga?"

"...Yes." She was a little guilty, and then explained, "I am worried about the impact our actions will have on history, so I want to read what happened later in the history books."

"Oh? Is that really the case?" Higiri smiled meaningfully, "I thought you couldn't forget that Nobunaga-sama."

"Higakiri-sama, I will never miss a child." She solemnly emphasized, and said seriously, "A naughty 15-year-old child is not my type at all."

"That's not necessarily the case." Mustache smiled lightly, leaned close to her cheek, and whispered, "I think Sunshine is lying in his heart. You really are too involved in the drama, and you pay too much attention to Mr. Nobunaga It's..."

"I didn't." Yuna defended softly.

"You have." Mustache said with a smile.

He closed the book with history, stuffed it on the shelf, and put his hands around the woman's waist.

"Daylight, let me remind you..."

He held her in his arms.The backs of the two embracing each other cast obliquely on the dark wall.

◎The author has something to say:

uu:? ? ?I haven't made a mistake yet, so you just give me the big pot
