The people dining around them all raised their heads and took a look at the situation. After discovering that the person causing trouble was Okabe Masatsuna, no one dared to speak out for fear of avoiding him.
"I've taken a liking to this guy, please change your place." Okabe Masatsuna snorted, pulled out a chair and sat opposite Okudaira Sadaki. Several attendants nearby also gathered around, raising their hands to knock Okudaira.
Ji's job is taken away.
"Okabe-sama, what do you mean?" Okuhira Sadakichi seems to have a bad temper. Most people would run away long ago when they see the third son of Sunfu. But he has no scruples about being bullied to this extent.
He stood up and said, "I am not your retainer, and there is no need to obey your orders!"
"Huh?" Okabe Masatsuna snorted coldly and raised his hand. An attendant immediately grabbed Okuhira Sadaki's rice bowl and smashed it to the ground. The fragments and rice were immediately spread on the floor. Several waiters hurried over,
But they didn't dare to step forward to dissuade him, and looked at each other. Okuhira Sadaki also threw his ribs on the table angrily, and looked at Okabe Masatsuna across the table.
"Okabe-sama, please feel free to tell me if you have any inconvenience in your service." After being notified, the shop owner also hurried out, nodding and bowing to apologize to Okabe Masatsuna.
"This dog is such an eyesore, drive him out." Okabe Masatsuna cursed. The store owner hesitated for a moment, looked at Okuhira Sadakichi, and trembled with his lips, not knowing how to speak.
Okuhira Sadakichi was also sweating coldly at this time. He was just a newly promoted general, and his status was far inferior to that of Okabe Masatsuna. However, in this era, samurai regarded dignity as extremely important. Here, let him
If he gives in, he may not be able to behave as a human being anymore.
Seeing the person who helped him fall into such a predicament, Yu Qiuping felt that he could no longer stand by and watch. Although Honda Nanosuke, who was sitting opposite, was young, he seemed to be even more angry. Seeing Okabe Masazuna like this
His behavior had long caused veins to burst out, and he had been enduring it for a long time. At this moment, he finally couldn't bear it anymore. He directly pulled out the ribs from his waist and thrust it into the table. The sharp blade sank into the table and swayed left and right due to the excessive strength.
It made a violent noise. Okabe Masatsuna and his party turned around when they heard the loud noise around them.
"Are you worthy of being a samurai if you behave like this?" Honda Nanosuke scolded, "It is really a shame to the samurai family!"
"Little wild dog! Where did all this nonsense come from!" Okabe Masatsuna became even more angry when he saw that the person who offended him was actually a child. He unceremoniously pulled out his ribs and stuck a knife on the table.
"Want to fight?"
The waiters and bosses of the nearby shops looked horrified, but they had no choice but to carefully pick up the shattered rice bowls.
"There is also a dog here, Okabe-sama, don't miss it. Okabe-sama disturbed the public order in broad daylight. He is really a model warrior." Yu Qiupei stood up slowly. Okuhira Sadakichi was slightly startled when he saw Yu Qiupei.
Then he responded with a smile.
"How dare the dog bark when the owner is not here?" A follower of Okabe Masatsuna recognized Yu Qiuping and cursed.
"The owner is here, and the dog still bites people?" Yu Qiuping retorted unceremoniously.
"Stop talking to him," Okabe Masatsuna interrupted his attendants, "The bushy eyebrows are not here today, why don't I give this kid a good beating!" After that, he pulled out his ribs and pointed towards Yu Qiuping.
He sneered. Before Yu Qiupei could fight back, Honda Nanosuke's little figure had already pushed away his chair and stood up, pulled out his ribs and confronted Okabe Masatsuna.
"Nanosuke, you are still young, don't act recklessly." Yu Qiuping said hurriedly, trying to pull Honda Nanosuke back.
"Sir." Honda Nanosuke shook his head, "Although I am only staying at Yuqiu's house temporarily, it is the belief of every samurai to humiliate his subjects to death." He turned around and protected himself with his small body.
In front of Yu Qiuping, "This person insults you, I will fight with my life."
"Can I use my first name?" Honda Nabenosuke roared with great momentum.
"Okabe Masatsuna." Okabe Masatsuna drank, looking at the kid in front of him who was a little shorter than himself, and smiled scornfully, "Such a little brat, you still want to challenge me to a duel?"
"Honda Nabenosuke, I'm asking for advice!" Honda Nabenosuke roared, raising his ribs to make a thrust. Okabe Masatsuna also got ready to attack. At the critical moment, Yu Qiuping suddenly
He shouted: "Stop everyone!"
Okabe Masatsuna and Honda Nanosuke were both silenced by Yu Qiupei's angry shouts. Yu Qiupei didn't give them any time to speak, and directly asked loudly: "Have you two read it carefully?
"Imagawa Kana Directory"?"
Honda Nanosuke shook his head honestly, while Okabe Masatsuna asked nonchalantly, "So what if it does, and what if it doesn't?"
Seeing Okabe Masatsuna's performance, Yu Qiuping made up his mind. It seemed that the other party had not read it. Of course, Yu Qiuping himself had not read it, but this did not prevent him from scaring Okabe Masatsuna: "Then you
So we know - what kind of crime should we be punished for provoking quarrels and causing trouble in the castle of a daimyo, and fighting among colleagues?" Yu Qiuping asked Honda Nabenosuke sternly, but in fact he was pointing at the monk and scolding the bald donkey.
Honda Nanosuke shook his head again.
"Japan is pretty good. In the Ming Dynasty, this kind of punishment was more severe, ranging from beheading and abandoning the market to killing all nine tribes!" Yu Qiuping deliberately avoided the Japanese punishment. He didn't even know if it was a crime.
"It doesn't matter to you, Nanosuke, aren't you worried about the family at all?" After Yu Qiuping's series of exaggerations, people who don't know will mistakenly think that the "Imagawa Kana Directory" stipulates that in the Daimyo Castle, it is stipulated that provoking quarrels and provoking troubles in the Daimyo Castle.
If you fight with your colleagues, you will be severely punished - but in fact, Yu Qiuping didn't say anything.
Okabe Masatsuna was a little hesitant and panicked. In the past, public security enforcement would not punish them severely because of their noble status, but this kid in front of him kept getting in trouble. If he was brought to the house governor, it would be very troublesome. But
, now that he is riding a tiger and can't get off, it would be too embarrassing to just stop. Not to withdraw, not to fight.
Okuhira Sadaki was very observant and immediately saw Okabe Masazuna's dilemma. After calming down, he didn't want to make the matter a big deal, so he gave Okabe Masazuna a step, "I shouldn't have collided with you just now."
Okabe-sama, let me excuse you first, let's just let this matter go." When several waiters saw that things had turned around and they no longer had to fight in their own stores, they quickly nodded and bowed their heads to persuade Okabe Masatsuna to leave.
Okabe Masatsuna regained some dignity, snorted, and walked away.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Yuqiu, for helping me just now." Okuhira Sadakichi cupped his hand, "Otherwise, I wouldn't know how it would end."
"You're welcome, Lord Aoping. Last time, Lord Aoping helped me without making a fool of myself. I haven't thanked you properly yet," Yu Qiuping said as he pulled out his chair, "Go ahead, I'm treating you today."
"Then I'm not welcome." Okuhira Sadakichi sat down without being polite. However, Honda Nanosuke, who was standing aside, stood at the edge of the table very dissatisfied and refused to sit down.
"Nanosuke, what's wrong with you?" Yu Qiuping looked at Nanosuke's stubborn little face and asked.
"My name is Nanosuke," Okuhira Sadakichi said with a smile, "You, my squire, were so heroic just now! You are indeed a hero from a young age!"
"Sir," Honda Nanosuke said in a low voice, "Why did you give in just now? Why didn't you let me fight him to the death?"
"Why do we have to fight to the death? You two have no grievances." Yu Qiu spread his hands.
"This is the dignity of the samurai family." Honda Nanosuke said solemnly. "He insulted my current master."
"The dignity of the Wu family does not allow you to risk your life at will." Yu Qiuping said seriously, "Don't you still want to be a great warrior like your father? How can you die here."
"That's not possible. There are some things that warriors must insist on." Honda Nanosuke shook his head, but the look in his small eyes was extremely firm, "I dare not disobey you, sir. I will not eat this meal."
, to express my admonishment to your lord."
"Sir, if you are unwilling to give up something, you cannot protect what is truly important."
Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment.
In the evening, Chibei took the ashigaru back, while Yu Qiupei stayed behind to prepare for tomorrow's evaluation meeting. It was a large-scale evaluation meeting held once a month by the Imagawa family, and the senior ministers of the family who were stationed abroad also had to attend one of the three meetings.
I took the time to come back to participate. I heard that this time, the Okabe family governor Okabe Motobu, the Ii family governor Ii Naohei, the Iio family governor Iio Renryu, and even Matsudaira Motoyasu will come to participate in the meeting. But Asahina Taitomo has to deal with
Due to a series of problems left by the troops gathered during the last autumn harvest in Enji, they had to stay in Enji. Several uncles from the Asahina family also went out for various reasons, such as Asahina Nobuyuki who went to the front line of Takake Castle. He is now
It was the Lord of Takake Castle, and the original Lord of the Lord Uden Nagateru was replaced as the Lord of Odaka Castle. Therefore, the person attending the meeting on behalf of the Asahina family this time was actually that boy Asahina Taihiro.
This made Asahina Taehyung very nervous and excited for a long time. However, since he could not bring his entourage to the meeting, Asahina Taehyung asked Yu Qiuping to sit closer to him and help him.
"But I have the status of serving the general." Yu Qiuping explained, "I can't sit very far in front."
"It's okay, aren't you the prospective son-in-law of the Imagawa family!" Asahina Taehyung smirked, "Others don't know who your sweetheart is, but I know it very well, brother! Haha, Okabe Masazuna's little eyes are still there
I didn’t know that Her Highness the Princess has fallen in love with you a long time ago, if he knew, hey!" Asahina Taihyung spoke louder and louder, so frightened that Yu Qiuping quickly covered his mouth.
"Don't talk nonsense." Yu Qiuping defended with a red face, "Feng and I haven't reached that point yet..."
"Ouch!" Asahina Taehyung joked, "One mouthful of maple, it's so cute, and I don't think it's that far yet."
"It doesn't matter, you will be sitting next to me tomorrow anyway. At worst, I will be at the bottom of the rank of general, and you will move up." Asahina Taehyung said with a smile.
"Brother, are you the family leader, the city lord, or a general?" Yu Qiuping asked curiously.
"How should I put it..." Asahina Taehyung smiled awkwardly, "It should be the city lord, but I have never managed my city. My uncle at home manages it for me, hahaha..."
