As soon as the meeting ended, Yu Qiuping first had to go to Ikeda Hengxing to thank him, just now this bold brother did himself a great favor who had never known him.

"Your Highness Ikeda," Yu Qiuping was about to give his hand in thanks, but was waved down by the self-acquainted Ikeda Hengxing.

"What is Your Highness called," Ikeda Hengxing patted Yu Qiuhei's shoulder vigorously without saying a word, "As long as you are against the old fat man of Shibata, they are all my buddies!" Call me Hengxing! Ikeda Hengxing said as he pulled Yu Qiuhei and walked outside. After Sen Kecheng and Yu Qiuping nodded goodbye, they also left to the other side. Among so many people at the meeting, Yu Qiuping didn't know a few people in total, and he felt very strange and unsociable. Ikeda's intimate gesture has to be said to have touched him a little.

"It's... Wouldn't it be inappropriate? Yu Qiuping said with some embarrassment.

"Huh? Autumn foliage in rain? Ikeda Hengxing squinted his eyes at Yu Qiuping, "Look down on me!" You still won't want to call me by name? We are both generals, do you have anything to disagree with? ”

"No, no," Yu Qiuping laughed, "I didn't expect Hengxing to be such a good talker." ”

Isn't it said that the ancients were very reserved and reserved? Yu Qiuping secretly slandered in his heart. Asahina Taiheng, Mimasaki Nakahide, Anayama Nobushimi, Maeda Toshiie, Ikeda Hengxing, how do you encounter one more unrestrained than the other.

"Alas, that's what you said!" Ikeda Hengxing smacked his lips dissatisfiedly, "Except for not dealing with the old immortals who escaped Sakuma and Shibata Old Fat, who doesn't know my Ikeda Hengxing's interesting name!" ”

"Hahaha," Yu Qiuping said with a smile, "Hengxing said yes!" I'm a newcomer, and the etiquette is not good. ”

"Someone from the Ming Kingdom is really here," Ikeda Hengxing patted Yu Qiuping on the shoulder again, "but ah! He changed his words and smiled excitedly: "Today you hit the old fat man of Shibata a few times!" It's really enjoyable to watch! ”

"It was an accident," Yu Qiuping explained with some embarrassment. He didn't want to be famous because of this matter, and it would be bad for it to reach other people's ears.

"Hehe, I'll tell you, I'm not bragging to you!" Ikeda Hengxing stretched out his other hand, which was not hooked on Yu Qiuping's shoulder, in front of Yu Qiuping, and raised three fingers, "All Owari!" There are only three people who dare to talk to the old fat man Shibata like this, except for our lord and you, there is only me Ikeda Hengxing! ”

"Oh?" Yu Qiuping said with some surprise, "His Royal Highness Shibata has such a big temper, Hengxing, you still dare to provoke him?" ”

"What!" Ikeda waved his hand disdainfully, his eyes shining, as if recalling the past: "That time! I sprayed him in public, hehe, scolded him so much that his face was red, and there was no rut at all! ”

"Don't listen to Hengxing's bragging!" Maeda Toshiie's voice and hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind him, and then a strong body pressed against Yu Qiuhei and Ikeda Hengxing, knocking the two of them apart.

"What are you doing, big brother!" "Who bragged!" Yu Qiuhei and Ikeda Hengxing spoke out in condemnation.

"Little brother, you don't know!" Maeda Toshiie grabbed Yu Qiuhei's bun with one hand, twisted his head to Ikeda Tsuneko's side, and pointed at Ikeda Tsuneko with the other, "Is there anyone in Full Owari who doesn't know the name of Ikeda Tsuneko's braggart king!" ”

"Dog, you fart! When did I brag! Ikeda blushed and roared back.

"Just now! I still want to deny it! Maeda Toshiya couldn't wait to reveal the truth, "What scolds people so much!" That time, the old fat man Shibata didn't give you a punch directly, and when you were about to fight back, you were seen by the lord and punished to apologize! ”

As soon as Maeda Toshiie's words fell, Yu Qiuping was amused by this graphic description. Feeling deeply embarrassed, Ikeda Hengxing angrily shouted at Maeda Toshiie: "This is the way you treat your seniors!" Who sent someone to help you when you were usually lazy on duty! ”

"Okay, well, it's amazing to die when I'm two years older," Maeda Toshiie smiled and waved his hand, "I just want to tell my little brother that you brag about the reputation of the king, so that he won't believe it in the future and be cheated by you!" ”

The two of them were talking to each other as they walked, and Yu Qiuping also laughed. After a while, he suddenly remembered something, so he asked, "Speaking of which, why don't the people I come into contact with like His Highness Shibata?" Is His Royal Highness Shibata very popular? ”

"Of course, the old horseman!" Maeda Toshiie and Ikeda Hengxing said in unison.

"I was arrogant all day long, and I felt that I was the best in the world with that little bit of record that year," Maeda Toshiie said disdainfully, "When I make a contribution one day, see if I don't compare him to him fiercely." ”

"That's it, the temperament is the same as what, I don't know and think he is our lord!" Ikeda snorted disdainfully.

"Hengxing, Inu Chiyo, why are you talking ill of His Highness Shibata again?" As soon as the two finished speaking, the group of people walking not far in front of the three turned around. The leader is none other than Niwa Nagahide, who has a kind face. He waved his hand and motioned for the people around him to continue walking, while he walked towards Yu Qiuping and the others. Maeda Toshike and Ikeda Hengxing, who are neither big nor small, bowed their heads honestly after seeing Niwa Nagahide, like elementary school students who had done something wrong. In fact, Niwa Nagahide is two or three years older than them, but he seems to be much more mature than them.

"His Royal Highness Shibata is as unbearable as you say," Niwa Nagahide shook his head with a smile, "His Royal Highness Shibata has made great contributions to the Oda family, and he really deserves that status." Besides, you always say that he has a bad temper," Niwa Nagahide looked at Maeda Toshiie, and then said, "Last time you killed the lord's close servant, the lord wanted to make you seppuku, have you forgotten who helped you intercede?" ”

Maeda Toshiya's face suddenly turned red, and he puffed out his cheeks and said reluctantly: "His Royal Highness Shibata." ”

"That's not it, His Royal Highness Shibata said fiercely, in fact, he still takes good care of you who are born with bravery, don't talk bad about His Highness behind his back all day long." Niwa Nagahide admonished bitterly.

"Yes, yes," Ikeda and Maeda Toshiie nodded in response. Niwa Nagahide also laughed when he saw this, and didn't pursue it any more.

"Red leaves," Niwa Nagahide praised Yu Qiuping on the side: "Today's remarks at the evaluation meeting are really far-sighted, comparable to the Longzhong of your Han family's Zhuge Wuhou!" I've been confused about the future of the Oda family before, and listening to your words really made me feel like I'm being empowered. The Oda family has you joining, it's really like a tiger with wings! If there is anything wrong in the future, just come to me. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness, His Royal Highness Niwa has won the award," Yu Qiuping arched his hand, "I was in the Imagawa family before I went down, and as an outsider, I naturally saw it clearly." Mikawa and Ise are easy to fight, but if they continue to fight, they will fall into it. People who really want to plot the world should go to attack Mino. It is a great honour for His Highness the Governor to be willing to take my advice. ”

Just as the two were discussing the future direction of the Oda family, Ikeda Hengxing, who couldn't interject, suddenly found a figure. He smiled and shouted, "Monkey! Monkey! What are you doing hiding in the crowd! ”

When he shouted, many people around him turned their eyes to the place that Ikeda Hengxing was pointing at. I saw Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro with a light head, but I don't know when I sneaked into the crowd of high-ranking retainers who left the venue and went home, and I didn't know what I was eavesdropping.

"Dead monkey, how can you come to such a place to go wild?" "It's not big or small, it's just a lifetime of straw sandals." Several high-ranking retainers and samurai let out disdainful sneers from the sidelines, which immediately made Kinoshita Toyoshiro blush and run away in dismay.

"This Fujiyoshiro," Maeda Toshiie also laughed, "I don't know, I thought he was promoted to a general." ”

"Let's not get down to business," Ikeda waved his hand freely, interrupting the discussion between Yu Qiuhei and Niwa Nagahide, "Momiji! Today is your first time in Owari, so you must be very divided! After all, we've seen each other before! ”

"But since you've come to our Oda family, you're our brother! Our Oda family has never refused to come! Just treat this place as if it were before, and don't worry about anything! Ikeda Hengxing patted Yu Qiuping on the shoulder, "If anything goes wrong in the future, don't be polite, just tell us!" Today I will be the east, and I will wash the dust for you! ”

"Let's go, let's go without getting drunk and not returning!" Maeda Toshiya also raised his hand excitedly and shouted.

"Thank you very much." Yu Qiuhei was really moved, and the enthusiasm of Ikeda Tsuneko and Maeda Toshiie made him feel a little embarrassed. However, he still wants to go back to take care of Kaede Imagawa tonight, and he doesn't know how Kaede Imagawa is doing now. She must be worried about herself, too.

It's just that these two buddies entertained me so warmly, why am I embarrassed to refuse.

When Yu Qiuping was in a dilemma, Niwa Nagahide seemed to see Yu Qiuping's troubles, and said out: "You two don't make a fool of yourself!" Momiji's wife is still pregnant, of course he wants to go back to take care of his wife, how can he have time to accompany you every night to make a fool of himself. ”

"That's right!" Maeda Toshiya suddenly realized, "Brother and sister, oh no! Princess Kaede has come to Cheongju City! Still living in my house! ”

"Princess Imagawa Kaede?" Ikeda Hengxing was also stunned for a moment, "That Kanto No. 1 beauty!" ”

"Yes, yes, that's her!" Maeda Toshiya agreed with a smile.

"Then I'm going to visit my brother and sister too!" Ikeda Hengxing laughed, "Let's go, let's go, buy some supplements and drinks by the way, let's go directly to Momiji's house to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you!" ”

"You two really are, Momiji hasn't agreed yet." Niwa Nagahide admonished with tears and laughter. However, Yu Qiuping didn't care, and the loss and sadness in his heart were gradually moved by the enthusiasm of these new friends, and he was grateful from the bottom of his heart to these two samurai, who were neither big nor small.
