"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 drove her away~" Ginkgo didn't have enough fun yet, so she continued to scold her softly.
"Okay, isn't this the matchmaker's marriage? 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 him sir." Imagawa Yoshimoto had a headache from this title and said to everyone who was dumbfounded.
"The guest wants the little girl to call you sir, and 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 wicked smile, but she quickly stopped talking in the middle of the sentence - sharp-eyed She found two small figures hiding at the corner 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 asked aggressively.
"I...we're following!" Imagawa Goro was caught in action. He imitated his father and raised his hands to show his innocence, and stammered in reply. Asahina Matsuchiyo also followed suit 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, he glared at the other party 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 it. 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, "Keep it all confidential. This is the highest level of intelligence. Do you understand?"
"Yes." The ninjas responded in low voices. Behind the mask, Imagawa Yoshimoto didn't know if they were laughing.
Imagawa Yoshimoto turned around again, planning to teach Imagawa Goro and Asahina Matsuchiyo a lesson. How about stalking? But the words were stuck in his throat before he could even leave his mouth. Didn't he follow him just to follow him?
Imagawa Yoshimoto smiled helplessly, and Ginkgo on the side also guessed his psychological activities from his smile. The two people 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." Imagawa Goro 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 blushed, 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 and recalled, and finally shook her head, "I will always ask Guishu to stand guard for me."
"Is Mochizuki derelict in 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 confidently, but suddenly stopped. In a corner not far away, you can faintly see a young man and woman having a love affair - who else is it if it's not Mochizuki Takaki and Hayasaka Nao?
When Hayasaka Nao and Mochizuki Takaki saw Imagawa Yoshimoto and Ginkgo coming, 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." Hayasaka Nao and Mochizuki Takaki leaned over gratefully after hearing this.
"I'm a little curious, how did you two get together?" Ginkgo was much more gossipy than Imagawa Yoshimoto, and was not going to let his two subordinates go. However, Hayasaka Nao and Mochizuki Takaki were both a little embarrassed, hesitating about how to answer.
"Let me go, there are always some shameful things to say between lovers." Imagawa Yoshimoto laughed, holding Ginkgo's shoulders and pulling 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 having gained a lot of energy, Imagawa Yoshimoto went to sleep and woke up the next day at three o'clock in the morning. Vaguely, I seemed to have had a strange dream last night - I dreamed that I was tied up in a cave and couldn't move. Imagawa Yoshimoto himself 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 no one to talk to, had no choice but to give up. After tucking her in, she got up and washed herself briefly. When I came back, I 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 someone at such an old age would have good energy.
"What's so early about this? You got up too late." Taiyuan Xuezai 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 and wake Ginkgo up. However, before he took a few steps, Taiyuan Xuezhai called out to him awkwardly.
"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 hard to speak, but he disguised it as an absent-minded chat in the office. "After 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. heart. Even though he is an extremely utilitarian realist, Taiyuan Xuezhai is an old monk after all, and he still values 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 could not be concealed, "But it's just you, your descendants will not 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 sacrifice and sweep? Who cares?" Taiyuan Xuezhai burst out laughing after hearing this, and swung the brush heavily at Imagawa Yoshimoto, and ink splashed 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's not certain who will die first, you brat!" Taiyuan Xuezhai stood up with a smile, pushed Imagawa Yoshimoto out of the door and slammed the door behind him.
"That's right." Taiyuan Xuezhai shouted again in the room, 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 your boy’s skills are invincible? Just hide behind when you should. Next time you encounter an enemy attack, just stay behind the formation obediently.”
"There is an easier way. Master, please don't send me on a mission. I'll stay in the safe Imagawa Hall. Wouldn't it be better?" Imagawa Yoshimoto excused himself with a smile and left quickly. , "I'm really going to the front line, can the old man control me?"
"You brat." Taiyuan Xuezhai cursed again and kicked the door in a demonstrative manner. Then he sat down with a smile and looked at the broken box in the corner, having 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, turned over and continued 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. Your son said that he should remember to pay homage to Master Xueshai in the future, and also let him 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. "
