On the morning of June 21, the caravan left Okazaki Castle. Matsudaira Motoyasu sent Yu Qiupei to the door and returned after repeatedly telling him to be careful. On June 22, the group stopped for a while in a village west of Shanzhao Temple. Prepare to enter the Oda family's area tomorrow.

Yu Qiuping still remembers that this village was one of the several villages he provided relief at the beginning of this year. A barren field in the spring was now full of lush crops. There was no food on the faces of the residents, but satisfaction and satisfaction after hard work. Tired. When Yu Qiuping saw that life in the village had improved, and the people no longer needed to go hungry and be homeless, he suddenly felt that everything he had done at that time was worth it.

What moved him even more was that dozens of families in the entire village had set up a longevity monument for Yu Qiuping in their houses. They would pray devoutly before dinner every day to thank Master Hongye for giving them the chance to live. Chance.

These simple people silently endured all the injustices in troubled times. Just because the lords fulfilled their obligation to protect the people, they would shed tears of gratitude. Are the people too good, or are the times too bad?

No matter what, Yu Qiuping decided to fulfill his promise to the girl and to his heart. He would do his best to help every common people who could help and alleviate the pain.

This time, I don't regret my choice.

However, it was precisely because the people in every household were very grateful to Yu Qiuping. Yu Qiuping had to hide in the back of the caravan to prevent others from recognizing him. When these people heard that it was the caravan coming from Suruga, they rushed out one after another. They came up and scrambled to get news about Mr. Amaki Momiji. Sena Toshiichi thought that these people assured him that Mr. Amaki was also loved by people in Suruga and lived a good life, so the people left cheering. .

"I didn't expect that you, sir, would be such a kind person and do such an amazing act of charity." Sanada Masayuki looked at the scene in front of him and sighed.

"The benevolent love others, and people will always love them." Amano Keide's face showed a happy expression, but in an instant, it turned into the same coldness as before, and he said decisively: "If I can use my evil to protect you, sir, Good, even if you fall into darkness all your life, with your hands stained with innocent blood, you will not hesitate to do so." On the shoulder, a new crow - said to be the son of the old crow, also whined twice.

"Is that so?" Sanada Masayuki nodded, "I very much agree with Amano-sama's idea. There are always some people who will do dirty things and protect other people in the family."

On June 23, because the caravan had to pass through the fighting area, it was not allowed to pass on the official road. The caravan walked along the official road. From time to time, an ashigaru of the Oda family would come up and ask for questioning and inspection and show the road guide. Ame Qiheiichi He was a little panicked at first, but when he saw Sena Ujitoshi skillfully take out a bunch of money and put it into Ashigaru's hand, and the latter left with satisfaction, he immediately lamented that society has always been sinister.

At four quarters in the morning, the group arrived at Owari's most famous shrine, Atsuta Shrine. This is where Atsuten Daimyojin is enshrined, a deity worshiped by the Oda family. Although they really wanted to go in and visit, they all needed to be on their way at the moment. It would be unwise to stay in the Tian family's territory. If you encounter a strict interrogation, you may be exposed.

Just when a group of people were about to pass by Atsuta Shrine, they suddenly saw a samurai wearing red armor running from Atsuta Shrine, running towards Sena Ujitoshi, who was at the front of the group. Several members of the Imagawa family were pretending to be waiters.

Some of the guards were nervously preparing to protect Sena Shitoshi, but the visitor hurriedly raised his hands to show that he meant no harm.

"This boss, dare I ask, is this a caravan from Mikawa!" As soon as the samurai spoke, Yu Qiuping recognized his voice, and hurriedly looked up, and it turned out to be him - Maeda Toshiie.

Hey! Wouldn't that be very dangerous, wouldn't his identity be exposed? Yu Qiuping was shocked, and hurriedly squeezed forward, trying to remind Sena Shijun that he was a member of the Red Mother Clothes, but he couldn't get to him immediately.

"Exactly, I wonder if this samurai has any advice?" Sena Shitoshi gave a common man a samurai salute, but was helped up by Maeda Toshiie.

"I am no longer a samurai, just a ronin. Boss, you don't need to be polite." Yu Qiupei was stunned by Maeda Toshiie's words. How could Maeda Toshiie be a ronin? Didn't he follow the Oda family until the end?

He vaguely seemed to remember some historical events, but he didn't remember them very fondly. It seemed that the Maeda Toshiie was indeed exiled? Compared with major historical events, he didn't pay much attention to the details of these characters.

"It seems like there aren't many guards in the boss's team." Maeda Toshiie lowered his head and said, "I don't know if the boss will be able to protect the caravan in Owari due to my body shape."

"Oh my God!" Yu Qiuping said secretly in his heart, "Is he still the wild and unruly big brother I know when he is so low-key?"

"This..." Senajitoshi was a little embarrassed, as if he was hesitating how to refuse. Seeing that Senajitoshi was about to refuse, Maeda Toshiie hurriedly added, "I don't need much reward, just give me 100 fen a day."

Got it!" It was obvious that he really needed money.

This is indeed a very low-cost employment. If Yu Qiupei remembers correctly, his annual salary is almost 500 kiwan. So why did Maeda Toshiie become a ronin this time... Why don't you ask clearly?

Maeda Toshiie looked nervously at Sena Ujitoshi's face. The latter sighed regretfully and was about to refuse, but Yu Qiupei stepped out first, confessed his crime to Sena Ujitoshi, and then left him alone.

After reacting, Maeda Toshiie pulled him to the side of the road.

"Brother, what's going on?" Yu Qiuping asked in a low voice.

When Toshiie Maeda heard this title, he was suddenly stunned for a moment. He saw the red leaf shawl on Yu Qiupei's shoulders and immediately reacted, "It's you, boy!"

"Oh my God, this red leaf shawl is so easy to recognize!" Yu Qiuping broke out in cold sweat. He had to take off this red leaf shawl later. Otherwise, if the Oda family who had fought against each other saw it, this wave would fly into the sky.

"Why is your kid here... Could it be..." Maeda Toshiie's pupils shrank suddenly and he looked at the caravan, "The Imagawa family's masterpiece? You are about to attack!"

"No, no, no," Yu Qiuping shook his head quickly, "We are on a diplomatic mission! Brother, you are not allowed to report. Brother, I wanted to see if you encountered any trouble and needed help, so I took the initiative to show up.

You can’t sell me!”

"That's right..." Maeda Toshiie said, "I'm not such a heartless person."

"Brother, what happened to you? Why did you become a ronin?" Yu Qiuping asked.

"Don't mention it!" Maeda Toshiie scolded fiercely, "Then Juami deserves to die!"

As soon as this name came out, Yu Qiuping immediately remembered the historical events that happened in his previous life. Oda Nobunaga had repeatedly requested that his retainers were not allowed to fight privately, otherwise they would be severely punished. And this Tenami, relying on his deep love for Oda Nobunaga,

He is the favorite of Maeda Toshiie, and often gets into trouble with the unruly Maeda Toshiie. A few days ago, he stole a hairpin given to Maeda Toshiie by his wife Osomatsu - it was a relic of Osomatsu's father, and the Maeda Toshiie family confiscated all the money.

get.

"This Juami! He just stole the hairpin that Osomatsu gave me!" Maeda Toshiie spat, "How dare you insult Osomatsu in front of my lord and so many people!" The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and his face turned red.

, "I will kill him with one blow in front of my lord!" At this time, the furious Maeda Toshiie looked more like the Maeda Toshiie that Yu Qiuping had known before.

"My lord was furious and ordered me to commit seppuku. His Highness Shibata and His Highness Mori simply interceded for me, and then they banished me instead." Maeda Toshiie sighed, feeling dejected, "But I am loyal to my lord and do not want to leave the Oda family.

I have been wandering around the Owari territory, waiting for my lord to forgive me. I rely on my old friends at Atsuta Shrine to give me some adzuki bean porridge every day. Life in the shrine is also very tight, and it cannot make ends meet, so it has to farm its own crops. Give me whatever you can.

Some bean porridge is already very difficult."

"Then why did you become a guard?" Yu Qiuping asked.

Maeda Toshiie's face turned red. This was not a glorious thing. But after hesitating for a moment, he still said: "If I am alone, it doesn't matter if I am hungry and full. I won't die after being hungry for a few days... But she is still alive

It's not okay to be pregnant and not have enough to eat all day long... And where are those adzuki bean porridges for pregnant women?" Maeda Toshiie's eyes were full of anxiety, self-blame and heartache, "If I had known that it would affect Osomatsu, I would never have thought of it at that time.

So impulsive!"

"Then why don't you help Mrs. Song and send her to your father and brother?" Yu Qiuping remembered that in history, he was the one who sent Song back to Huangzi City.

"Osomatsu is unwilling to die or die." Maeda Toshiie swallowed, "She said... I was punished because of her standing up. As my wife, she wanted to bear the pain with me. She didn't want me to bear everything alone.

, but she stays in Huangzi City and has no worries about food and clothing."

Yu Qiuping's heart suddenly trembled for no reason... Asong's words seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember them.

"So you just want to find some work to make money and buy some health supplements for Asong?" Yu Qiuping asked.

"Well, so this job is really important!" Maeda Toshiie changed his usual wild and uninhibited attitude and bowed respectfully for the sake of his sweetheart, "Please do it for me!"

Yu Qiuping helped him up, fumbled around his waist, took out the 10 strings of money he was carrying, and stuffed it into Maeda Toshiie's hand.

"Boy, what are you..." Maeda Toshiie was stunned for a moment and wanted to return the money, "I can't take the money you gave me for free!"

"Aren't you going to be our bodyguard? You're not giving it for free!" Yu Qiuping couldn't help but put the money back into Maeda Toshiie's hand, and held the money with his fingers.

"No way! The most expensive bodyguard only charges the same amount for this journey!" Maeda Toshiie said hurriedly, "I really can't have it."

"We are still not brothers!" Yu Qiuping said in feigned anger, "If you are a brother, just accept the money! My sister-in-law's health is important, otherwise she will suffer from some disease and regret it for the rest of her life, brother! Why don't you pay me back when you have money?

alright!"

"This...this..." Maeda Toshiie, a generous man, was like a little girl with red eyes at this moment, not knowing what to say.

"Stop nagging, this is not like my big brother!" Yu Qiuping patted the latter on the shoulder and teased, "Go back and buy some supplements for your sister-in-law first. We will probably rest in the castle town of Qingzhou City tonight, you can

Come to us!”

Maeda Toshiie hesitated for a long time, then lowered his head and said, "Thank you very much, boy. I, Inuchiyo, will risk your life to repay your kindness in the future!"
