Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, it was August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival. Since it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, Maeda Toshiie and several other women were given a day off. Unable to stay idle, they naturally made an appointment with Ikeda Tsune.
Xing, Yu Qiuping and others were going to go sightseeing around Qingzhou City. Yu Qiuping originally wanted to stay at home with his family during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he was forced by these people to go out and play.
A group of six people, Amakihei, Maeda Toshiie, Ikeda Tsuneki, Sawaki Yoshiyuki, Naomasa Naomasa, and Ikoma Okamasa, rode their horses together to play in a hill to the east of Qingzhou City. The weather had turned cold, and Owari was not there.
It was warmer than Suruga. Yu Qiuping accidentally caught a cold a few days ago. So this time when he went out, he specially put on a scarf.
Maeda Toshiie and Ikeda Tsuneki are already very familiar with Amehei, and this Sawaki Yoshiyuki is the younger brother of Maeda Toshiie, and he is also a temperamental person - he died on the battlefield of Mikatahara in his previous life. He was because of his impulsive temper.
, like his brother Maeda Toshiie, he was once chased and released by Oda Nobunaga. Unfortunately, he was not able to make great achievements and return to the Oda family like Maeda Toshiie, but died early on the battlefield.
Naomasa Namasa is the oldest among these people and has a more stable personality. His sister is also Oda Nobunaga's concubine and gave birth to Oda Nobunaga's eldest son, Oda Nobumasa. Ikoma Chimasa is also a foreigner.
A member of the horse community, Ikoma Yoshino is Oda Nobunaga's favorite concubine. The two have similar personalities, and they are more familiar with each other because of their similar identities. However, it is worth mentioning that although Ikoma Yoshino is obviously
She is more favored than Naomasa's younger sister, but Naomasa's official career is far superior to that of Ikoma Chimasa. In Amakihei's previous life, when Ikoma Chimasa was still a retainer under Hideyoshi Hashiba, Naomasa was already a close friend of Toshiie Shibata.
The commander-in-chief of the front army of the Oda family, who has the same name as him, serves as the guardian of Nanshan Castle and the guardian of Yamato, and was also given the surname "Harada".
It seems that even if Oda Nobunaga takes care of nepotism, he will appoint people on their merits. Yu Qiupei secretly sighed. People in later generations only saw the bright stars and talents of the Oda family, and envied the Oda family's good fortune. Little did they know that later that order
The samurai retainers of the Oda Army who were feared by Japan were actually just ordinary people when they were young; but Oda Nobunaga was able to recognize talents with a keen eye, train and train outstanding people, and give them a platform to display their talents. This is how he became successful
So much talent.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?" Maeda Toshiie slapped Yu Qiuping on the shoulder, causing the latter to wake up from his thoughts. Yu Qiuping's hands also trembled, and he almost lost his grip.
fishing rod.
It was too late, but soon, a huge force suddenly came from the fishing rod! It was probably that a big fish had bitten the hook! But Yu Qiuping couldn't hold the fishing rod tightly because his hand shook, and the whole fishing rod was suddenly pulled from the hook.
He took it away from his hand and threw it straight down the river.
Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment to react, but before his butt left the stone, Maeda Toshiie beside him had already rushed out. He saw him stepping into the unknown depth of water with one foot without any scruples, and his body was almost 180 degrees
He leaned forward parallel to the ground and held the tail of the fishing rod tightly. The next moment, he lost his balance and fell into the water.
"I'm going!" Ikeda Hengxing was so frightened that he threw the fishing rod to the shore and rushed to the side where Maeda Toshiie fell into the water. He grabbed Maeda Toshiie's other leg. Sasawaki Yoshiyuki also came from the other side. One man came over from one side, waded into the shoal, and hugged Maeda Toshiie's waist. After regaining his strength, Maeda Toshiie held on to the fishing rod tightly, and with the strength of the two people behind him, he twisted his waist suddenly. A huge carp was lifted out of the water and thrown heavily to the shore. Yu Qiuping and Naozhizheng hurriedly caught the fish, and then Ikoma took out the ribs from his waist and gave it to the still struggling carp. The fish made up for it with a knife.
"Brother, you're not crazy!" Yu Qiuping was so frightened by Maeda Toshiie, "It's just a fish! That's all!"
"You still have the nerve to say that?" Maeda Toshiie climbed out of the water, took off his outer clothes and began to wring out the water. "Which female samurai from Suruga can't even hold a fishing rod?"
"No!" Yu Qiuping's face turned red all of a sudden, "Didn't you distract me by patting me! Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to hold on!"
"Haha, don't explain, Momiji!" Sawaki Yoshiyuki laughed, "Even if you are from the Ming Dynasty, you must practice martial arts after becoming a samurai! It's not okay to be so weak!"
"Yes, yes," Ikeda Hengxing also followed up and patted Yu Qiuping on the shoulder, "I don't think I liked martial arts back then. Later, my lord said a few words to me, so I practiced hard all winter by myself! Chapter 1 In two years, he defeated our strongest samurai in Owari! You should also practice hard!"
"What are you bragging about again?" Maeda Toshiie waved the clothes that had just been soaked with water towards Ikeda Hengxing, and immediately splashed water on his face. "My grandpa is already over fifty years old!" You, a young man in his twenties, bullied the strongest samurai in the past, and you still have the nerve to say it?"
"A-Inu! What are you doing again!" Ikeda Hengxing wiped the water from his face and rushed towards Maeda Toshiie angrily. Maeda Toshiie immediately laughed and turned away, circling Ikoma Chimasa and Namasa Namasa. Individuals dodge Ikeda Tsuneaki back and forth.
"Okay, stop making trouble," Yu Qiuping said with a smile, "It's cold, be careful of catching a cold! Brother, do you want to wear a scarf?"
"Only the female warriors of Suruga need those scarves!" Toshiie Maeda sneered while hiding, "A strong person like me will not catch the cold!"
·
In the evening, everyone found a small shop in a small village next to the hill and asked the shop owner to stew a pot of fish soup with the fish they brought to warm the body of Maeda Toshiie who had a cold.
The owner of the shop is an old woman who doesn't know why she lives here alone. She looks like she must be in her fifties or sixties, her hair has long been gray, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes are almost bottomless. The shop is also a bit simple and small. There can only be four small tables in the thatched house. Perhaps because the place is remote and the conditions are not good, the business of this store does not seem to be very prosperous. It is obvious that it is meal time, but almost no one comes.
"Brother, do you want to wear a scarf?" Yu Qiuping came back and looked at Maeda Toshiie, who was sitting on a stool nearby and sniffing constantly, and joked with a smile.
"Only the female warriors of Suruga need those scarves," Toshiya Maeda muttered stiffly.
"Yes," Yu Qiuping imitated Maeda Toshiie's tone and said in a sinister tone: "A strong person like my eldest brother will not catch wind and cold!"
"You kid!" Maeda Toshiie was about to retort, but he immediately sneezed loudly, choking what he was about to say.
"Okay, Li Jia, just say a few words," Nao Zhizheng looked helplessly at his subordinates who never bothered him, "When the fish soup comes, drink more, go back and have a good rest."
After a while, the hot fish soup was brought to the table by the shop owner. All the fish scales were carefully peeled off. Although there were no ingredients in the fish soup, it tasted extremely delicious. It seemed that the heat was controlled very well.
.
After finishing the fish soup, the group got up and left the shop. Everyone took out the dry food they carried and ate while walking towards the place where they tied their horses, preparing to set off back to Qingzhou.
Suddenly, Yu Qiuping heard a burst of brisk and rapid footsteps. He turned around and saw a small figure running quickly from the edge of the shop towards his group.
"Who is it?" Ikeda Hengxing obviously saw the figure and asked sharply.
Ikeda Hengxing's roar immediately startled the little figure. The figure stopped, paused, slowly raised his right hand, tried to pretend to be dignified and emphasized, and said in a deep voice
Said: "Hit...robbery!"
Girl?
This was Yu Qiuping's first reaction after hearing the sound.
He looked at the little figure through the dim candlelight and the cold moonlight in the small shop a few steps away. She looked about less than ten years old, unkempt, thin, and her long black hair was rough and messy.
After putting it down, the clothes on her body were in tatters. It was vaguely identifiable as an old samurai uniform that was obviously much taller than the girl. The fabric at the neck of the tattered clothes was completely torn, and the girl's slender neck was also damaged.
So it turned red from the cold.
Through the messy hair, the girl's facial features were vaguely visible. Her big eyes were full of fear and nervousness, not looking like a robber at all. Her slightly raised right hand held a thin piece tightly.
The thin, sharp piece of iron seemed to have caused some spasms in his hand due to being too nervous - the piece of iron was probably the tool he used for robbery.
Yu Qiuping couldn't help but feel distressed in her heart.
"You..." After Ikeda Hengxing finished shouting, he felt a little unsure. He asked tentatively: "Are you talking to us or the old lady in the store?"
The girl swallowed, mustered up a lot of courage and whispered: "You... we."
Everyone looked at each other. The group of six people looked at each other's tall figures and the gap between their waists, and then at the thin girl and the iron piece in her hand.
Is this considered robbery?
"The little beggar is ignorant, don't argue with him," Ikoma Oikasa smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Let's go. I went back too late and closed the city gate. My lord will blame me."
"Let's go, brothers," Sawaki Yoshiyuki waved, "Don't waste time." Everyone smiled bitterly at each other, and except for Yu Qiuping, all five people turned and left together.
"No!" The girl seemed a little anxious when she saw that no one paid her any attention, and her voice changed tone, "Don't leave! Fight...robbery!"
"I'm talking about little girl," Ikeda Hengxing asked, dumbfounded, "Why did you rob us? You can't beat us? I can knock you over with just one finger."
"Let's go, let's go," Zhizheng urged, "Stop talking nonsense, Hengxing Hongye, hurry up and follow."
"Robbing...robbery!" When the girl saw the crowd gradually walking away, she rushed forward in a hurry, holding the iron piece in her hand.
Suddenly, she fell into a warm embrace. The man grabbed her wrist without any explanation and pulled the small iron piece out of her hand.
"Don't hold it," the young man's voice came to your ears, "be careful not to hurt your hands."
