On June 16, the eighth year of Tensho (1580), the dance hall of Azuchi castle town.
Even from far away, you can see crowds of people, people from all walks of life almost crowding the surrounding streets and alleys. The boundaries between farmers, industry and commerce seem to be blurred, everyone is crowded around the song and dance hall, wanting to
Get a glimpse of the Algeria Song and Dance Troupe.
However, the number of seats in the dance hall is limited, and only a few people can enter. Even if they have money, the law and order enforcers who maintain order will definitely give priority to samurai. The class boundaries that were blurred just now, immediately at the door
It has become more distinct.
There were many people in the crowd. Ame Akihira, Ikeda Tsuneaki, Hashiba Hideyoshi, Sawaki Yoshiyuki and Maeda Toshiie all brought a few guards to defend themselves and pushed forward hard in the crowd. But there were too many people, even if
There were guards leading the way, but it was still very difficult to walk.
"These common people..." Hideyoshi Hashiba cursed, "I don't know how high the sky is, but they are still squeezing in here. Is the girl from Aguo just what they want to see? On a hot day, the crowd made me sweat, really.
It’s annoying.”
"Hey, our Tokichiro is capable, huh?" Ikeda Tsuneaki said with a smirk from behind, "Every mouth is a commoner, every mouth is a commoner. Have you forgotten the little monkey carrying straw sandals in Owari?"
"Don't be nagging! I was also a samurai at that time!" Hideyoshi Hashiba cursed in a low voice as if he had been touched by a pain point. He kept a dark face and refused to speak to Ikeda Tsuneki. Ikeda Tsuneki didn't pay attention to him either, and he and Sawaki Yoshiyuki laughed and joked a few times.
I wanted to complain to Maeda Toshiie again, but Maeda Toshiie just vaguely excused me.
Hashiba Hideyoshi seemed to feel that he couldn't hold his face, and suddenly the guard in front of him pulled out his samurai sword from the scabbard on his waist. Yu Qiuping was startled, and he quickly pulled Mori Nagaka over and asked him to stare at Hashiba Hideyoshi.
For fear that he would kill people indiscriminately in his rage - in this era, samurai were qualified to kill civilians who disobeyed him without any responsibility. For a few bags of rice, the matter was over.
How many floors does a bag of rice need to withstand? How tired is a bag of rice? I need to wash a bag of rice. There is mud in every piece of rice. Who gave you a bag of rice? Just add some water. (Feelings)
Pain, consider the pain, accept the pain, understand the pain, from now on, let the world feel the pain, Shinra Tenzheng.)
Yu Qiuping complained silently in his heart. If this Huoying sentence is placed here, its original meaning is quite appropriate.
If one day samurai can live like common people under the fear of being killed at any time without any reason, and if they experience the pain, they may understand how disrespectful their daily behavior is to human life. What the samurai will gain with one sword is just
I was so happy that I never thought of the unspeakable harm this would bring to the poor man and his family. People who don’t understand pain cannot understand true peace.
Seeing Hashiba Hideyoshi pulling out his sword, the people around him were frightened and fled in all directions. Many people were pushed down and trampled under the crowd. Yu Qiuping hurriedly asked his guards to go up to maintain order and quickly rescued those
The person who was pushed down was lucky to have no casualties.
"What are you doing, Tokichiro?" Yu Qiuping came back to his senses with some annoyance, and said in a deep voice to Hashiba Hideyoshi, "Everyone is enjoying watching a kabuki show, how did you end up like this?"
"Those common people don't have eyesight. Do you blame me? I didn't swing the sword, which is enough." Hashiba Hideyoshi snorted twice, obviously still angry, "A noble samurai is squeezed into the street by a bunch of common people and can't move.
In what manner?"
Seeing Hashiba Hideyoshi's attitude was so bad, Ue Aiupei didn't mean to say anything more to him. He just sighed. Ikeda Tsuneaki and Sawaki Yoshiyuki whispered a few words to Hashiba Hideyoshi, while Maeda Toshiie came close to Ushiba Hideyoshi and took a photo.
Pat him on the shoulder and pull him a few steps further away.
"Brother." Yu Qiuping looked at the Tian Li family in front of him, "What's wrong?"
"As for Hideyoshi, don't be angry. They are all brothers, right?" Maeda Toshiie laughed twice and patted Yu Qiupei on the back. "You also know that Hideyoshi is very concerned about his origin.
He's sensitive, but he's not a samurai after all. Hideyoshi must be unhappy when that guy from Hengxing said that."
"Then you can't draw your sword to vent the anger of the people." Yu Qiuping muttered, "We are fighting hard, isn't it just for the people?"
"Well, after all, he didn't really kill anyone, right? He still had a problem in his heart." Maeda Toshiie patted Yu Qiuping's shoulder hard again, took Yu Qiuping's arm and said, "Let this matter be over.
, let’s just treat it as nothing happened later!”
"Okay, now that the eldest brother has said so." Yu Qiuping is also a good-tempered person after all, and has nothing to do with it. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Time flies so fast, and the eldest brother has started to start a fight! In the past,
But when the eldest brother quarreled with others, we went to start the fight."
"What's the matter?" Maeda Toshiie said, scratching his head in embarrassment.
"Have you forgotten that you chopped off the lord's valet when you were young?" Yu Qiuping also laughed twice, and patted Maeda Toshiie on the shoulder, "Twenty years, the eldest brother has changed from that one back then.
Leng Tou Qing has become a mature and stable man now! On the other hand, Heng Xing and Tou Hachi are still the same."
Maeda Toshiie laughed twice, then turned around and ran to Hashiba Hideyoshi, and murmured a few words with him. Then he forcibly pulled Hashiba Hideyoshi and Yu Qiupei together, and said with a smile, "Then when it's time to eat,
You two are each punished with a drink, and this matter is over!"
"What, you still want to drink flower wine?" Yu Qiuping immediately became vigilant after hearing this, and protested loudly, "I won't do it, I won't go!"
"Hahahahahaha! Look at your virtue, Hongye! That's not what you said when you took the girl to spend the night!" Hideyoshi Hashiba quickly walked down the steps to reconcile, laughing and joking, causing everyone to start teasing Yu Qiupei.

The group of people squeezed through the crowd and finally arrived at the entrance of the song and dance hall. The security officers were trying hard to maintain order. Seeing the faces of Yu Qiuping and the others, the security officers immediately cleared a path and followed Yu Qiuping and the others in person.
Entered the dance hall.
"Your Highnesses, do you want to sit in the front row, or would you like to find a private room on the second floor?" The security official nodded and followed behind the few people and asked cautiously.
"Of course it's an elegant room." Yu Qiuping replied subconsciously, but Ikeda Hengxing immediately retorted loudly, "What an elegant room? We want to be in the front row!"
"What?" Yu Qiuping glanced at Ikeda Hengxing in confusion, "Why are you sitting in the front row? Are you going to make noise?"
"Of course, what else?" Ikeda Hengxing replied matter-of-factly, making Yu Qiuping seem like a freak.
"That's Aguo girl! Aguo girl!" Ikeda Hengxing seemed to have little stars twinkling in his eyes, and murmured to himself with great longing, "The legendary shrine maiden of God who never took off her mask! It is said that she can only see
Only the person you like will take off the mask!"
"What, are you dancing with a mask all the time?" Yu Qiuping had only heard in rumors that Aguo would wear a mask to dance Qingqi dance - this reminded him of those terrible masks in Noh drama, but it seemed that in Ikeda Hengxing
That's not how they see it.
"Yes, how many people want to see her face but can't!" Ikeda Hengxing clenched his fists with both hands and waved them in the air a few times, "It must be because Miss Aguo has never seen the person she likes! That's why I want to sit down
Go to the front row so that Miss A Guo can see me!"
"What Pokémon are you doing?" Yu Qiuping was amused by Ikeda Hengxing's serious look of admiration, "Can a girl from Aguo fall in love with that face of yours?"
"That's right, I'm also attracted by the red leaves." Yoshiyuki Sawaki smiled and pinched Yu Qiuping's cheek, "Isn't this look much better than yours?"
"You're already in your thirties, can you be more steady?" Yu Qiuping raised his hand and shook off Sawaki Yoshiyuki's hand.
So, at the strong request of Hengxing Ikeda, a group of people quickly walked to the front of the auditorium of the song and dance hall and sat down around a table. However, before they could cover their buttocks, they heard something unfriendly.
the sound of.
"It's so elegant. How unbecoming it is to sit at the front." Sasaki Narimasa happened to come back from the toilet, passed by the front row seats, saw Yu Qiuping and his group, and couldn't help but sarcastically said. Yu Qiuping said to him
Looking at the end of Sasana Narimasa's corridor, I found that in the private room on the second floor, it seemed that Shibata Katsuie, Fuwa Mitsuharu and his group were sitting.
"You are all grown up, haven't you come to see me?" Hashiba Hideyoshi retorted unceremoniously. Ikeda Tsuneaki and Sasawaki Yoshiyuki also glared at him. Seeing that something was not going well, Maeda Toshiie quickly stood up and prepared to smooth things over, but Sasawaki Yoshiyuki seemed to
Not grateful.
"At least we won't sit in the front row and make noise like ignorant pariahs." Sasaki Namasa snorted, turned around and was about to leave. At this moment, he bumped into a group of people head-on.
"My lord...?" Sasaki Namasa was stunned for a moment, and then he saluted blankly. His words startled Yu Qiuping and others who had their backs to the corridor. They turned around in a hurry and found Oda.
Nobunaga was also leading a group of guards, walking towards the front row in a hurry.
"The unseemly Owari idiot also came to the front row to watch the show." Oda Nobunaga smiled and patted Sasana Masa on the head, "Asura, go back to your private room."
"Lord...this..." Sasaki Narimasa was embarrassed and didn't know what to do. Ikeda Hengxing and others couldn't help but snicker after saluting. Only Yu Qiuping's expression was a little stiff.
Because he saw that familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar figure among Oda Nobunaga's bodyguards.
Yu Qiuyou.
Yu Qiuyu must have seen Yu Qiupei, but he deliberately did not look at him. He looked directly at Oda Nobunaga. Only when Kamao Clan led the guards to salute Yu Qiupei and others, he curtly saluted.
.
Ikeda Hengxing and Sawaki Yoshiyuki also recognized Yu Qiuyou at this time, and patted Yu Qiuping with some embarrassment. Yu Qiuping smiled helplessly, and watched Yu Qiuyou stand next to Li Yu Qiuping without saying a word.
Go to the farthest side.
