The group then took a detour to the market, intending to buy some supplements for Imagawa Kaede to send over. However, because it was getting late, many businesses had already closed, and there were only a few shops left.

Upon entering the largest store, Yu Qiuping recognized Sen Kecheng at a glance - the latter had already bought some supplements and was checking out at the boss's place.

"Senpai-senpai?" Yu Qiuping said with some surprise.

Sen Kecheng was obviously stunned for a moment, and after turning his head and seeing Yu Qiuping and the four of them, he bowed and said, "I've seen you below." ”

"Why is His Highness Mori here?" Niwa Nagahide asked with a smile.

"I heard that Momiji's wife is pregnant," Mori Kecheng said in a low voice, "Come and buy some supplements." ”

Yuqiu's heart warmed, and he was about to say thanks, but Maeda Toshiya and Ikeda Hengxing began to coax first: "It's just right!" We're here to buy supplements, too! Let's go later! ”

"You," Niwa Nagahide sighed with a smile, "It's always like this, when will you be able to grow a little?" ”

"It's okay, you're so enthusiastic, I'm really moved," Yu Qiuping waved his hand to show that he didn't care, "Then you guys look at it here first, and I'll go to another store to have a look." ”

After Yu Qiuping finished speaking, he left the shop, turned a corner, walked through an alley, and walked towards another shop with a lantern. Far away, I heard a burst of gossip from the corner in front of me. Yu Qiuping was a little curious, poked his head out of the corner slightly, and looked to the right.

I saw a dozen people dressed as low-level samurai, sitting around a small round table outside a closed tavern, not knowing what to discuss. Yu Qiuping listened to it, and immediately made out Kinoshita Toyoshiro's voice—a voice somewhat similar to that of a eunuch.

"I'll tell you! Don't talk nonsense! The main family will definitely go to fight Mino after that! Kinoshita Toyoshiro said excitedly.

"How is that possible?" Another person said dissatisfiedly, "Our Royal Highness Sakuma said before that he must be going to fight Mikawa. I think that now that the Matsudaira family in Mikawa is about to rebel, the Imagawa family will definitely want a large army to fight them. When the time comes, our Oda family will also send troops to Mikawa, so why don't we sit and collect it... Have you reaped the fisherman's profits? Don't talk nonsense! ”

"Yes, I won't fight Mino even if I fight Ise!" Another ashigaru muttered, "Mino is so strong, the old lord can't win during his lifetime, and His Royal Highness Yilong is said to have the courage of ten thousand people, where can he fight?" ”

"That's it, that's it, you monkey is talking nonsense again!" A few of his companions coaxed.

"Nope! Who is talking nonsense! Kinoshita Toyoshiro blushed and shouted with a thick neck, his flushed face really like a monkey's ass, "This is inside information!" Insider Info! I have connections at the top, they just told me after a meeting! It's to fight Mino! ”

"Come and go," the other snorted disdainfully, "Every time you say that you have someone on it, and every time you don't say your name, maybe you bragged about it." ”

"Nope! This is suspected of being confidential and cannot be revealed! Kinoshita Toyoshiro retorted with a snarled voice.

"! What secrets can you, a monkey with a shoe, be involved in! Does the lord have any secrets about changing straw sandals? The words of a general Ashigaru caused everyone to laugh, and Kinoshita Toyoshiro's face was white and red, and he kept shouting, "You don't believe it!" I've got a position! Something like that.

"Come on, you!" A foot light head pushed Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro fiercely, pushing the latter to a stagger, "Don't brag over there, go back to the straw sandals, stinky monkey!" ”

"You! You guys! Kinoshita Toyoshiro straightened up, but he was still half a head shorter than everyone else. He angrily pointed his finger at those who laughed at him, jumped to his feet in anger, and yelled, "Don't look down on people! ”

"What kind of dog looks down on people, but looks at monkeys!" A footlight laughed and said, "You have the ability to call out the person you have a relationship with!" Yes! Can you call it! Just know bragging! ”

·

"Kinoshita-sama, you're here." Suddenly, there was a call around the corner. Everyone who was making a commotion and Kinoshita Toyoshiro looked around the corner, and saw a young man wearing a momiji shawl and a white samurai uniform standing not far away.

"Rain... Rain... Your Highness Yuqiu! "Kinoshita Toyoshiro can barely believe his ears and eyes - Yu Qiuhei actually calls himself Kinoshita-sama? The ashigaru heads around them opened their mouths in surprise, they had already heard about the Imagawa family's defection to the Oda family. But I heard that he was a high-ranking general from the beginning, how could he be so respectful to the small role of Kinoshita Tojiro!

"Is Kinoshita-sama so outward?" Yu Qiuping smiled and spread his hands, "It's okay to call me Momiji." ”

This sentence surprised everyone present again! Yu Qiuping actually called Kinoshita Toyoshiro brothers! Is the sun coming out of the west? The eyes of those partners changed when they looked at Kinoshita Toyoshiro - does this kid really have anything to do with the upper echelons!

"No... Not... I didn't see the outside..."Kinoshita Tojiro stammered a little in surprise, and stumbled and said, "Red... Is there anything wrong with Momiji coming to me? ”

"That's right," Yu Qiuping smiled, "Your Highness Niwa, Maeda-sama, Ikeda-sama, and Mori are planning to take the wind and dust for me, and you are also planning to invite Kinoshita-sama to come with you?" I wonder if Yoshiro Fuji can appreciate his face? ”

The air was suddenly quiet. The amount of information in this sentence is so huge that everyone can't digest it for a while. Niwa Nagahide, Ikeda Tsuneko, Maeda Toshiie, Mori Kosei, Yu Akihei... These are all well-known characters! I actually want to invite Kinoshita Toyoshiro to dinner!

Kinoshita Tojiro really has someone on it!

"Oh my God!" Immediately afterwards, the ashigaru head who had just pushed Kishita Toyoshiro turned pale, and burst out with a cry like killing a pig, shouting out what everyone was thinking: "Fujiyoshiro! No! No! Kinoshita-sama, are you so powerful? ”

"Kinoshita-sama! There are a lot of small words just now, but you adults have a lot! "Kinoshita-sama, I was so offended just now! You can spare me for once! "Kinoshita-sama, for the sake of our friendship over the years, I want to mention my little brother more!"

The low-level samurai who had sneered at Kinoshita Toyoshiro just now repented and secretly scolded themselves for not knowing Tarzan for offending such a powerful adult. They hurriedly put down their bodies and surrounded Kinoshita Toyoshiro to flatter them continuously. Kinoshita Toyoshiro is obviously very useful, and after being flattered at the beginning, he immediately put on a picture of me as a big brother, and said quite "generously" that he would not blame everyone, and he would mention more in the future. He was obviously very happy with this kind of flattery, and after throwing a grateful glance at Yu Qiuping, he excitedly enjoyed the praise of everyone.

Yu Qiuping smiled and waited for Kinoshita Toyoshiro to be out of the limelight before pulling him out of the corner with him.

"Thank you very much for your Highness Yuqiu just now!" Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro cautiously glanced back, and after making sure that no one followed, he thanked excitedly, "It really helped me grow my face!" can be regarded as a bad breath in front of those despised people! Thank you so much, Your Highness! It's so cool! ”

"Haha, don't call His Highness Yuqiu, call it Momiji," Yuqiuping smiled and patted Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro on the shoulder, "Fujiyoshiro, are you so outside?" ”

"Huh?" Kinoshita Toyoshiro was stunned for a moment, stopped in place, and looked at Yu Qiuping with some surprise.

"Don't grind," Yu Qiuping urged, "Let's go to dinner together, hurry up, don't keep my wife waiting for a long time." ”

"Huh??" Kinoshita Tojiro was completely stunned at this moment. After a while, he stammered, "Your Highness, you really want to take the little one to dinner!" ”

"yes, not really." Yu Qiuping smiled.

"But it's small, no, but it's just a light head down there!" Kinoshita Toyoshiro's voice trembled a little, "How embarrassed to eat with so many highnesses!" Where to climb high! ”

"It's Ashigaru now, not Ashigaru for the rest of your life," Yu Qiuping looked at the future Taiko with a smile, "With your hard work and talent, sooner or later you will become the lord of a country and a city." When the time comes, don't forget your friends who have dinner together. ”

The lord of a country and a city? I... Me? Am I a little person who is only worthy of being carried by the lord? How is that possible... Ever since my mother remarried, and since I looked like this, no one, including my stepfather, has ever looked at me in the right eye. I've been living in various countries for so many years, and no one has ever recognized me.

"Let's go, why are you still stunned," Yu Qiuping said without saying a word, dragging Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro's arm and pulling him forward. Kinoshita Toyoshiro was staggered by Yu Qiuping, looking at Yu Qiuping's back, his eyes were actually moist.

"Thank you, Your Highness," Kinoshita Toyoshiro suddenly whimpered, "Since I was a child, because I was ugly, and because I remarried with my mother, no one has ever looked at me squarely. Your Highness was the first to be willing to help me stand up, and the first to recognize me. ”

"I... I won't let your Highness down! Kinoshita Tojiro shouted with some excitement, "If you make meritorious deeds in the future, you will definitely repay His Highness Yuqiu!" ”

Yu Qiuping smiled slightly and nodded at him, but his heart was mixed.

He didn't know why he wanted to encourage Kinoshita Toyoshiro, why he went out to help him support the field and give him a long face. If I didn't know that he would be the future Toyotomi Hideyoshi, would I still be kind to him? At that time, did I have selfish intentions, hoping that after he became famous in the future, it would help me realize my revenge plan to kill Oda Nobunaga?

But... In the moment of helping him... I didn't think about it that much. It's just that when I saw my friend being wronged, I wanted to come out and support him.
