"His Highness Yuqiu!" "Toyotomi Hideyoshi!"

Yu Qiuhei and Kinoshita Tojiro shouted in unison, the former with surprise that his eyes were about to fall, and the latter with a flattering and envious expression.

"You two..."Toshiya Maeda was immediately taken aback by the scene, "Do you two know each other?" ”

"No! This is the first time I've seen His Royal Highness Yuqiu! Kinoshita Toyoshiro was stunned by Yu Qiuping, who was two heads taller than him, - Yu Qiuping was pressing Kinoshita Toyoshiro tightly on his shoulders, his eyes shining, and he carefully looked at every part of his body, "This... What is this highness shouting... Toyotomi Hideyoshi, did you recognize the wrong person! ”

"No, I didn't admit my mistake!" Yu Qiuping smiled, "Now it's called Kinoshita Tojiro, right!" He shook Kinoshita's shoulder as he spoke, "You're Kinoshita Toyoshiro, right?" There is no one with the same name! ”

"It's... Small... There's Kinoshita Toyoshiro down there..."Kinoshita Toyoshiro replied with a stammer.

Small eyes, provocative ears, high cheekbones, a wide head and a narrow pointed chin, the Mediterranean Sea at a young age! That's right! I won't admit that I am wrong, isn't this just a monkey who is alive and well! You can't go wrong! the future Kinoshita Hideyoshi, Hashiba Hideyoshi, Toyotomi Hideyoshi; Kapok Fujiyoshi, an internal affairs master on par with Migorozuo; Hungry to kill Totori, thirsty to kill Miki, no soldiers, flooded Takamatsu's siege master! China's great return, the mobile genius of the great return of Cheap Yue; commanded and mobilized more than 100,000 people to besiege Odawara; As a pariah, in the hierarchical Warring States period of Japan, he became the supreme genius of Japan in one fell swoop through his lifelong efforts! The protagonist of Taiko Rishiden!

"Here we go again," Toshiie Maeda stroked his forehead deeply, "I'm sick when I see a special person... It's my stupid little brother, and there's nothing wrong with that..."

"Yuqiu... His Royal Highness Yuqiu..."Kinoshita Toyoshiro was frightened by Yuqiuping's appearance, and this year, at the age of 23, it was the first time he had seen such a madman. He was a little skeptical that this was the young talent who kept his knowledge alone and set up a narrow barrel. However, the red leaves shawl on his shoulders seem to indicate that this person is the rainy autumn red leaves.

Yu Qiuping, who had been intoxicated with the excitement of seeing historical celebrities for a long time, finally came back to his senses: "I'm sorry, I lost my temper before!" Yu Qiuping waved his hand and apologized, "In Yuqiuping, we met for the first time, please give me more advice in the future." With that, he couldn't wait to reach out and shake hands with Kinoshita Toyoshiro - this is even more exciting than shaking hands with future stars!

"This! This! This! Kinoshita Toyoshiro was suddenly frightened by Yu Qiuping's movements, as if Yu Qiuping's outstretched hand was a hot iron rod, and repeatedly jumped sideways to avoid that hand, refusing to shake hands with Yu Qiuping, "This! How dare the little one! It's just a light head! Where do you dare to shake hands with His Royal Highness Yuqiu! ”

"What's this!" Yu Qiuping frowned, "You're my eldest brother's friend, isn't that my friend?" Yu Qiuping understands that Kinoshita Toyoshiro's future is limitless, for the purpose of his own revenge, it is very necessary to befriend him, and he can also use his growth to make profits for himself in the future, "When dealing with official affairs, one yard is one yard, but is there anything wrong with shaking hands in private and intersecting with peers?" You're a lot older than me! ”

"That's it," Maeda Toshiya said with help on the side, "What kind of fujiro is there, is it good to look like a samurai!" Everyone is a brother in private, where do you get so many rules? Don't take a bite out of it, see more! ”

Under the forced gaze of Yu Qiuping and Maeda Toshiie, Kinoshita Tojiro stretched out his hand tremblingly, as if a timid kitten stretched out his paws, quickly put his hand in Yu Qiuping's palm, and quickly withdrew his hand, which was very unnatural. In those little eyes, a moment of excitement and longing flashed.

"Fujiyoshiro," Yu Qiuping said with a smile, "I'm new to the city, and I don't know much about the situation of Owari and our Oda family, can you tell me about it?" ”

It is said that there is no better compliment than to treat others as teachers. Obviously, Kinoshita Tojiro also eats this set. After a few shirks, he began to talk with a fluttering eyebrow.

"Originally, there were several Oda families in Owari, and everyone has been fighting with each other for decades! But since our family governor succeeded him, it didn't take long to almost pacify the entire Owari! Except for His Highness Inuyama, which is located in the Tohoku! Although His Highness married the sister of our governor and has always stood with us, I always feel that guy has always been a bad deal with the governor. ”

I have to say that Kinoshita Toyoshiro's political sense of smell is really accurate. Even if he is only in his twenties, a young man who is poor and white, he can't tell why. However, he was already able to see the contradiction between Oda Nobunaga and Oda Nobukiyo through a few contacts with Oda Nobukiyo. Yu Qiuping, who knew history, deeply agreed with his speculation, but Maeda Toshiya looked indifferent, muttering a few words of "nonsense" and "monkeys can't spit ivory out of their mouths".

"Externally, our biggest enemy in Owari is the Saito family in the north." Kinoshita Tojiro snorted, "Those Mino guys have been working against our Oda family since the death of Michizo Boss!" ”

"Originally, if the Imagawa family didn't come over, we would also be thinking about attacking Mino," Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro glanced at Yu Qiuping quickly, and found that the latter's expression was as usual, so he continued with confidence, "Now that our family governor controls the land of nearly 400,000 koku in Owari, I am not afraid of those guys in Mino at all." ”

"But when it comes to our Oda family, it's not so united," Speaking of this, Kinoshita Toshiro frowned, and Maeda Toshiya also snorted coldly and scolded, "Old horsemen." Kinoshita Tojiro puffed out his cheeks and said very dissatisfiedly, "It's probably divided into two factions." ”

"On one side are those samurai lords, who have been important ministers of the Oda family for generations, and some of them are even former retainers of the Spo family." Kinoshita Fujiyoshiro glared at the monkey eyes and said, it seemed that he was usually not less angry, "For example, His Royal Highness Shibata, His Royal Highness Sakuma, His Royal Highness Sasa, His Highness Kawajiri, His Highness Hite, them." Usually always arrogant, with their old qualifications, their noses are going to be tilted to the sky, and they feel that they should listen to everything! Cut. When Kinoshita Tojiro said these words, he deliberately bit the word "His Highness" very hard, and pronounced it strangely, and tried his best to be sarcastic.

"Also, it's us," Kinoshita Toshiro and Maeda Toshiie looked at each other and continued, "Either like His Royal Highness the Toshiie..."

"Just call Inuchiyo, don't speak a mouthful of His Royal Highness, and talk to me like those old immortals!" Maeda Toshiya interrupted dissatisfied, and Kinoshita Toshiro immediately changed his words with a smile.

"Either it's like Inu Chiyo, Lord Naomasa, Lord Hengxing, and our most powerful His Royal Highness Changxiu, these samurai who were born in close proximity to the lord were promoted by the lord. Either like His Highness Mori, His Highness Takigawa, or His Highness Yuqiu..."

"It's good to call it Momiji." Yu Qiuping also interrupted as he followed the example of Maeda Toshiya.

Kinoshita Toyoshiro also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, obviously enjoying the same age as the higher status person: "Hmm! There are also people like Momiji, who have come from other places to join the governor. Those of us who came from close study have a good relationship with those of you who come from other places, and we often get together together, so we can be regarded as a faction, and we don't have a lot to deal with those highnesses. ”

"What's not to deal with, it's just to see that they are unhappy!" Maeda Toshiya scolded and then changed his words, "But it hasn't become a civil war between the two factions, it's not as serious as your Imagawa family." Everyone is divided into two groups of people to drink and brag. ”

"But those old highnesses of Owari always look down on those of us who came from close learning, and often exclude those who come from other places," Kinoshita Toyoshiro muttered dissatisfied.

"But His Highness Hayashi must be excepted," Maeda Toshiie added, tilting his neck, "After His Highness Hisho seppuku, he is considered the oldest." But he is usually more detached, and he doesn't care much about things and doesn't care much about us. ”

"That's right..."Yu Qiuping probably understood the situation, and chuckled, "So, I'm on the same side as you!" ”

·

At the request of Yu Qiuping, Takigawa Kazuki allowed Tokiwa to go to Kiyoshu Castle on the road, and the Saji family's ship also returned the same way. In order to make Kaede Imagawa feel a little more comfortable, Toshiya Maeda lent his carriage to Yu Qiuping and let Kaede Imagawa sit in the car.

The group began to march towards the north, and it didn't take long for them to enter the realm of Narumi Castle, and the sky was dark. Tokiwabi's subordinates began to camp on the spot next to a village, but Yu Qiupei was reluctant to let the poor Imagawa Kaede live in the field, so he ran to the village with Maeda Toshiie and Kinoshita Toshiro to see if they could find a fellow countryman to spend the night. In the evening, there should have been a lot of pedestrians on the streets. But as soon as they saw someone approaching, they all shrank into their houses.

"Folks!" Kinoshita Toyoshiro walked to the crowded area and shouted in Japanese with a thick Owari accent, "There is a wife of His Royal Highness who is pregnant, and wants to find a place to borrow for a night, which fellow has a vacant room at home!" What a blessing for you! ”

After speaking, Kinoshita Toyoshiro also turned around and explained to Yu Qiuping in a low voice: "However, the people in this village are very poor and not very hospitable, and they are quite afraid of our Oda family." Usually, when a samurai passes by, everyone hides. And they don't expect to have a spacious house. In the end, we forcibly requisitioned one, and no one would dare to resist. I'll just shout, don't take it seriously. Obviously, he was worried that he would be ignored and embarrassed, so he said in advance in case he lost face - he is really a face-loving person.

However, before the words fell, a surprise cry suddenly came from a certain room: "It's His Royal Highness Momiji!" ”
