"This fish fillet is really good." Ryoichi Sawaki ate his food without forgetting to admire it. The way he ate the fish fillet and sashimi made him feel like a fat homeless man who had been hungry for more than ten days.
"Slow down, slow down, don't miss this moment, be careful of getting bitten by fishbones." Yu Qiuping watched Sawaki Yoshiyuki being scared to eat, and couldn't help but remind him from the side.
"How dare it have thorns here?" Ryoichi Sawaki tapped the fish fillet with his chopsticks, and then tapped the plaque of this store with his chopsticks, "Then don't open his store!"
"It's one thing if he can't open it, but it's another thing whether Master Sawaki is stabbed or not!" Yu Qiuping smiled and held down Sawaki Yoshiyuki's chopsticks, "Slow down! In the worst case, we won't wait until next time.
I’ll bring you to eat! If you don’t know better, you might think that we, the Oda family, live such a miserable life, we don’t even have enough to eat!”
"Okay, okay." Sawaki Yoshiyuki was so pressed by Yu Qiupei that he couldn't lift his hand. He had to use his other hand to hold the wine in the cup and drink it all. Then he greeted Ikeda Hengxing, "Hengxing, pour it for me."
A glass of wine!”
"Huh? How dare you ask me to pour you a drink?" Ikeda Hengxing laughed loudly and hit Yoshiyuki Sawaki on the head, "Your brother Inuchiyo is in front of me.
The only thing you can do is pour me a drink obediently! Do you still want me to pour you a drink?"
"Nonsense, when did my brother say goodbye to you? Are you bragging again, Owari?" Ryoichi Sawaki broke away from Yu Qiupei's hand, patted Ikeda Tsuneaki on the shoulder and cursed with a smile, "I believe it.
You ghost!"
"Why are you talking nonsense? When your brother was young, he secretly ran out to see your sister-in-law and wanted me to be on duty for him. Can you please pour me wine with your own hands every time?" Hengxing Ikeda immediately blushed when he saw this.
He made a face and shouted at the top of his lungs, causing all the guests around him to look over, making Yu Qiuping extremely embarrassed.
"Speaking of which, I haven't seen my eldest brother for a long time." Yu Qiuping recalled it, and it seemed that he hadn't seen Maeda Toshiie for a long time. "Will eldest brother come to this tea party?"
"It should be him, right? I'm not sure. Anyway, the three people in the mansion will come to Kyoto with part of the troops, which can be regarded as a token of appreciation." Sawaki Yoshiyuki frowned and scratched his head, "It seems that the eldest brother is back... or Ah
That guy Shura."
"It's been almost twenty years since we met." Ikeda Hengxing couldn't help but sigh, "Let's get together sometime and have a drink or something."
"It's a pity that Mr. Ya and Senior Sen are no longer here..." Yu Qiuping's expression darkened when he heard this. He put his chopsticks on the dinner plate and shook his head in frustration, "Those who ate and hunted together at that time can no longer gather together.
Already."
"The dead are dead, and the living must live well and live for them. The better we do, the more opportunities we have to support and take care of their families!" Ikeda Hengxing gave the disappointed Yu Qiuping a message.
Tempura tapped the edge of his bowl with his chopsticks, "Hongye, aren't you taking care of Koron and Ranmaru? You have to be good so that you can be worthy of their sacrifice!"
"These are troubled times, there's nothing we can do about it." Yoshiyuki Sawaki sighed, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it down in one gulp. "We samurai are all trying our best with our heads tied to our belts, so we can't
I don’t know what day it will be gone, and I don’t know what will happen to my family after that.”
"Everything will be fine. As long as our Oda family can conquer the world, all members of the Oda family can live a good life." Ikeda Tsuneaki picked up the wine pot, poured a glass of wine for each of Yu Qiupei and Sawaki Yoshiyuki, and then raised the
He picked up the wine glass and said, "I know Hongye, you don't usually like to drink, but you must drink this glass of wine."
"Respect the heroes who passed away, and wish the Oda family could dominate the world!"
"cheers!"

On August 15th, Yu Qiuping returned to Maple Leaf Mountain City. Only half a month after his expedition from Maple Leaf Mountain City, he had already achieved extraordinary results. The soldiers and civilians inside and outside Maple Leaf Mountain City were happy, except for a group of people -
-crow.
Yu Qiuping heard from Imagawa Kaede who stayed behind that Amano Keitoku had never been seen again since he left the castle tower that day. He had been hiding in Crow's base camp planning a plan to kill Miyoshi Yoshihide. However, Imagawa Kaede did not
She was too concerned, because after Naoe Tadayei left, a lot of chores piled on her, weighing her down. Finally, when Yu Qiuping came back, she immediately handed over piles of official documents to Yu Qiuping.
He smashed it on the table and said, "Get it yourself! It's so annoying!"
"Feng'er, please help me!" Yu Qiuping looked at the documents as high as a mountain in front of him and almost cried, "Do you still remember that when we were still in love, you would take the initiative to run to the castle tower?
Help me settle the accounts. How come more than ten years have passed and you don’t help me anymore!”
"I've been helping you for half a month! You're so tired! You'll get wrinkles from exhaustion!" Imagawa Feng scolded and pinched Yu Qiuping's waist, "Leave it to you, let me rest. Really.
I don’t know how Chibei managed to finish so many things by himself.”
"Help me do it for one more day! Just one day!" Yu Qiuping carefully looked at Imagawa Feng's face, and at the same time stretched out a finger and waved it slowly in front of Imagawa Feng's face.
"Ping, what do you want to do?" Imagawa Feng tilted his head and looked at Yu Qiuping suspiciously.
"I want to go to Quan Bingwei and discuss with him the reform of the Crow's organization." Yu Qiuping requested sincerely, "But it takes too much time to enter their headquarters. It will be late at night when I come out, so can you
Help me for a day!"
"Okay, just one day." Imagawa Feng pursed his lips and snorted. Yu Qiuping immediately smiled and poked Imagawa Feng on the forehead with his finger, "Feng'er is the best!"

Yu Qiuping defeated the boss's efforts and finally accepted Crow's inspection and arrived at the door of its headquarters. However, when he explained that he was coming to see Amano Jingtoku, the Crow's ninja looked embarrassed.
"What's wrong? Is Mr. Amano not here?" Yu Qiuping asked in confusion, "Then just tell me."
"No, Mr. Amano is here, it's just..." The ninja hesitated for a moment, and then whispered to Yu Qiuping, "Your Highness, Mr. Amano has specifically ordered that no one will visit him until he completes his plan.
It’s important military information.”
"I can't do it either?" Yu Qiuping pointed at his face in confusion.
"Well...I don't know, I just don't dare to disturb Mr. Amano. Is there something urgent, Your Highness?" The ninja was in a dilemma, and finally had to apologize to Yu Qiuping, "If not...I'm afraid..."
At this moment, Amano Keide just walked out of the gate of Crow's headquarters. When the ninja saw this, he stepped back with relief. Amano Keide saw Yu Qiuping, stepped forward and saluted, turned around and left.
"Kwon Bingwei, I'm here to discuss the reform of Crow's organization." Yu Qiuping smiled and pulled Amano Keide, "Let's find a place to talk?"
"Sorry, Your Highness, let's talk about it later." Amano Jingde shook his head, indifferent to Yu Qiuping's smile, and coldly apologized to Yu Qiuping.
"What's wrong with you? Are you in such a hurry?" Yu Qiuping was completely confused by Amano Jingde, "Are you in such a hurry to attack Miyoshi Yixian?"
"That man may be planning a murder against His Highness at this moment, and I may not be able to stop it, and His Highness is unlikely to have good luck every time." Amano Jingde stared into Yu Qiuping's eyes, and at the same time pulled up his sleeves
He took it out from Yu Qiuping's hand and said, "Do you think I still have time to delay? If he is not removed for a moment, Your Highness will not be safe for a moment."

Almost at the same time, in a forest hut outside Izumi's recruit camp.
Suzuki Shigehide opened the door and saw three people sitting in the room. He frowned and asked in a low voice: "Who are you? Why did you send someone to call me here?"
"My name is Hosokawa Shinyuki." The man sitting in the middle got straight to the point and saluted Suzuki Shigehide, "I have met Mr. Suzuki."
Suzuki Shigehide was shocked when he heard this, and his hand was instantly pressed on the handle of the sword. He was also a well-informed senior samurai. The Suzuki family had a lot of contacts with the Miyoshi family before, so how could he not know who Hosokawa Shinyuki was?
?He is the eldest son of the former guardian of Awa, Hosokawa Mototaka. After Miyoshi Yoshiken murdered Hosokawa Mototaka, he adopted him as his adopted son. Suzuki Shigekane mentioned Hosokawa Motoyuki many times during his lifetime, praising his talents and character. Suzuki
Shigekane once said that if it weren't for the fact that Hosokawa Shinyuki and Miyoshi Yoshihide had a grudge against each other for killing their fathers and thus could not gain the trust of Miyoshi Yoshihide and everyone in the Miyoshi family, he could have surpassed Miyoshi Yoshihide's biological son Miyoshi Nagaharu with his talents.
.
And this important member of the Miyoshi family actually appeared on the territory of the Yuqiu family and found himself here. Suzuki Shigehide was very upset at this moment, regretting that he should not have listened to the stranger's message and rushed here alone.
If there was an ambush, he would be dead.
"Second Young Master Suzuki, don't be nervous. I am here on my father's orders. I am not here to be your enemy." Hosokawa Shinyuki showed a kind smile and signaled Suzuki Shigehide to put down the knife. Only then did Suzuki Shigehide notice Hosokawa's attention.
Kawa Masayuki called himself the second son of Suzuki. After the Suzuki family and the Zagazhong were defeated by Yu Qiuping and their land was confiscated, no one called him that anymore.
"What are you going to do? I have nothing to do with you! What do you want to do here? Aren't you afraid that I will catch you?" Suzuki Shigehide asked Hosokawa Shinyuki like a barrage of questions, without even taking a step away from the handle of the knife.
"Your brother has never betrayed you."
However, with just these words, Hosokawa Shinyuki calmed down the restless and nervous Suzuki Shigehide in an instant. He was stunned for a long time before he said with difficulty: "What did you say?"
"Do you want to know the truth about your brother?" The smile on Hosokawa Shinyuki's face became gentler, "He has loved you, your father, the Suzuki family, and everyone in the Zagazhong from the beginning to the end.
.Everything you saw before was all an illusion, and it was all staged by your brother to deceive you."
"He is a victim. This piece of paper is written with the truth you want to see." Hosokawa Masayuki took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Suzuki Shigehide. Suzuki Shigehide's eyes did not leave.
After passing by Hosokawa Shinyuki for a moment, he touched the piece of paper on the table with his trembling hand. Hosokawa Shinyuki nodded slightly towards him and added:
Chapter completed!
