[Masayuki Canghong] Party Talk

When Sanada Yukimura came to the porch from the house, he realized that the sky was getting darker and gloomy. It should be almost evening. When he was indoors, he didn't feel the passage of time, and he didn't expect it to pass so fast.

Snow is still falling.The snowflakes floated down slowly and silently as if they were floating in the air.There is no one in the courtyard. Occasionally, there is snow falling on the trees or on the eaves, but the courtyard becomes more and more quiet. At this time, if the lively noise in the room is louder, it will make people feel warmer, and people can't help sighing in their hearts. "It really is winter."

Feeling the winter atmosphere briefly, Sanada Yukimura, whose nose had become cold, walked towards the toilet.

When he heard Sanada Yukimura say that he might have drunk a little too much, Aoba took a closer look at Sanada Yukimura's face - it seemed that his cheeks were indeed covered with a thin layer of red, but his eyes shone brighter.Because he was not sure what level of drinking was for Sanada Yukimura himself, when Sanada Yukimura said that he would leave the meeting for a while, Aoba asked to accompany him.But Sanada Yukimura declined with a smile, saying that he could take care of himself and that he would be back soon, and also asked Keiji Maeda, who was sitting next to him, to take care of Aoba.Although Aoba was a little embarrassed by Sanada Yukimura's behavior of completely treating herself as a child, she was more touched by the thoughtful and meticulous consideration of the other party.It wasn't until a moment later that Aoba noticed that Date Masamune had also got up and left the table, that Aoba realized that he had actually forgotten, and that he might not be able to realize his unspeakable thoughts in his whole life.

Coming out of the toilet, when he was about to reach the first corner of the veranda, Sanada Yukimura subconsciously stopped in his tracks, and then stood under the veranda, staring at the scenery of the courtyard again in a daze.Such a white snow scene always made him feel familiar, and he couldn't help but think of the meeting with Date Masamune about three months ago...

On that day, Sanada Yukimura, who was ordered to meet a certain person in a place north of Kai, and Sasuke Sarutobi galloped on the forest path after heavy snowfall in the vast white scenery.Although the weather is very cold, Sanada Yukimura is in a state of enthusiasm because he has the will to fulfill his mission for any order of Takeda Shingen.As a result, Sasuke Sarutobi had to remind him that he left too early, and the other party might not have arrived yet.

At this moment, the two heard the sound of horseshoes. It seemed that someone was chasing up from behind. Looking back, it was Date Masamune, the writer of Oshu, and Kojuro Katakura, the right eye of the dragon, followed by a team of Date troops.

"Hey! Sanada Yukimura! Long time no see!" Date Masamune sat on his horse with his hands folded on his chest with a confident expression as always.

Sanada Yukimura's eyes widened instantly, and Sasuke Sarutobi knew something bad was going to happen at a glance, but Sanada Yukimura turned his horse's head and rushed towards Date Masamune: "His Masamune, please hurry up and compete with me next time! " Shouting, he pulled out the crossword gun from behind with both hands.

"Cooloff! I know I'm very excited after not seeing you for a few months, but don't you have anything else to say to me?" Although he said something to calm the other party, Date Masamune himself became obviously a little emotional. The horse belly went up to Sanada Yukimura.

"Boss Sanada, we still have a mission!" Sasuke Sarutobi shouted after Sanada Yukimura, and stopped Sanada Yukimura's soaring fighting spirit in time.

Sanada Yukimura pulled the reins, and the horse, which was running at full speed, raised its front hooves and gave a loud groan, and then took a few steps on the spot.Looking at Date Masamune who was still approaching him in front of him, Sanada Yukimura said loudly: "His Masamune, I have important matters to attend to today, please allow me to compete with you next time!"

"Ah?" Date Masamune, who was raised just now but was stopped by the other party, was naturally a little dissatisfied, so he deliberately said, "Are you in such a hurry? I can handle you with a bowl of tea." Date Masamune is very clear The aggressive method has been tried and tested on Sanada Yukimura.

"Sasuke!" Sanada Yukimura met Date Masamune's provocative eyes, and said to Sarutobi Sasuke, "Give me time for a bowl of tea." Before Sasuke Sasuke Sasuke could answer, he chatted with Date Masamune very tacitly at the same time Turning the direction with the reins, they headed deep into the woods together.

Sasuke Sarutobi watched Sanada Yukimura away speechlessly, then turned to look at Katakura Kojuro: "Master Katakura, there was a criminal who kidnapped people here just now, I'm going to report to the police."

Katakura Kojuro had nothing to say, he could only raise his eyebrows and sigh.

On the other side, Sanada Yukimura and Date Masamune rode on horseback and began to fight back and forth with spears and short knives.The ding bang sound when the weapons met along the way startled many birds, and the sound of flapping wings exaggerated the tense atmosphere.Until they came to a relatively open space, the two jumped off their horses at the same time and switched to close combat.

After stepping on the ground, the two realized that this place should have been a lake. The lake had frozen, forming an open space surrounded by woods. The two tacitly believed that such a place would be a stage for a duel, using themselves and each other to fight. It is also a unique experience to attack and defend with flaws in body balance.

After several rounds, Sanada Yukimura, who was originally on par with Date Masamune, was gradually at a disadvantage, but he did not turn from offense to defense, but still rushed towards Date Masamune without retreating.

Date Masamune, who is very familiar with Sanada Yukimura's straight-forward fighting style, spotted the flaws in Sanada Yukimura's movements and used a "WarDance" move to end the duel.

Sanada Yukimura fell face up on the ice as the six coins hanging around his neck collided with each other and made a crisp sound. His unbalanced body hit the ice with a loud sound, and the crossbow was dropped from his hand and rolled aside.

This scene is so familiar...Not long ago, I seemed to have fallen under the sword of His Highness Masamune like this. At that time, I was already mentally prepared to surrender my life, but because of the sudden change in the battle situation, I was able to save my life until today... My lord, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Looking at the expression of Sanada Yukimura who was lying on the ground, who had already regarded death as home, his eyes suddenly showed some agitation because of something he thought of, and Date Masamune, who was left aside, wanted to pull the other party back to his thoughts and called out: " Hey! Yukimura Sanada."

Hearing someone calling his name, Sanada Yukimura came back to his senses, and saw Date Masamune standing beside him stretching out a hand to him.

Sanada Yukimura was a little confused, but he still stretched out his hand to hold the other person, and then he felt his hand being squeezed tightly. Date Masamune's deep voice came from above: "Sanada Yukimura, do you think that there is only one between us? An ending?"

Sanada Yukimura didn't understand what Date Masamune said, his wide-open eyes were full of doubts, and the expression of Date Masamune, who was looking down at him, was hidden in the shadow of his black hair, making it hard to see through.At this moment, Date Masamune pulled him. Sanada Yukimura thought that the other party was going to pull him up, and just wanted to sit up, but Date Masamune suddenly held his hand and pushed his upper body back to the ground. , Sanada Yukimura knocked the back of his head unpreparedly, and before he recovered from the slight dizziness, the face of Date Masamune who quickly came to him appeared in his eyes.

The two hands clasped on Sanada Yukimura's chest so that he couldn't get up easily. Date Masamune half-kneeled next to Sanada Yukimura, bowed his head and approached his face within a punch distance, staring at Sanada Yukimura without realizing it. With amber eyes, Date Masamune's breath blew on his clean and natural face, and sighed lightly: "You are just too..." He said and slowly narrowed the distance between their faces to the limit.

Just before the two were about to have a skin-to-skin contact, Sanada Yukimura suddenly turned his face away, and Date Masamune paused for a moment, thinking that even Sanada Yukimura, who was so slow that he was frighteningly slow, could understand in this situation What will happen next, only to hear Sanada Yukimura say: "His Masamune, I heard Sasuke calling, did you hear that?"

"No, you heard me wrong!" Date Masamune said angrily, his upper body was almost pressed against Sanada Yukimura, staring at the skin on the side of Sanada Yukimura's neck that was tense due to the twisting movement.

Just when Date Masamune wanted to do something, Sanada Yukimura suddenly withdrew his hand and stood up from the other side: "Sasuke——!"

Date Masamune, who was almost lying on the ice, turned his head and saw the figure appearing in the direction Sanada Yukimura shouted, and cursed softly, "Shit!".

After that, Sanada Yukimura hurriedly bid farewell to Date Masamune and expressed his expectation for the next battle, and then left without looking back.

After that, it was this time to accept the banquet and come to Ozhou to meet again after a few months-although until now there is no chance to "show off" again.

Sanada Yukimura put one hand on the cold porch pillar beside him, facing the courtyard and exhaled slowly, the white mist quickly melted into the air, as if his mind had melted into a piece of white snow at this moment, he was at a loss and disappeared .

At that time...His Masamune seems to have said something.I don't know why they are so close.Perhaps it is very important words, which can only be conveyed by getting close.It's obviously very important, but I can't remember it anyway.In the end, what did you say...

"You are relaxing here."

Hearing the sound, Sanada Yukimura turned his head and saw Date Masamune standing a few steps away in the direction of his way, with his hands thrust into the sleeves of his navy blue kimono, with a hint of playfulness on his expression.

"Next is..." I remembered something.Maybe you can ask His Highness Masamune now.

"Have you lost your way?" Date Masamune couldn't help teasing the confused look in Sanada Yukimura's eyes, "Drunk?"

"Absolutely not, Your Highness Masamune. I just lost my mind for a while."

Occasionally, Sanada Yukimura's seriousness at such times will make Date Masamune, who is faintly expecting the other party's reaction, feel less interested.However, looking at Sanada Yukimura in a maroon patterned kimono and a gray horse hakama against the snow scene on one side, the color is bright and heroic. Masamune Date felt a little satisfied as if he had made up for it.

"Be mesmerized by our Oshu snow scene." Date Masamune said with some pride, looking towards his courtyard.

"Yes," Sanada Yukimura also looked towards the courtyard, and then turned his face to Date Masamune and said seriously, "I am very grateful to His Highness Masamune for inviting me to come, and I have the opportunity to appreciate such an impressive scene. view."

The same words were said by someone else, maybe some of them contained politeness and flattery, but from the mouth of Sanada Yukimura, it must be that every word conveyed his true inner feelings.So if this kind of candor is used in the right place, it is still very useful.
