Chapter 107 Bandit
On June 25, the group left Ohara and entered Mino's territory. However, the Maeda Taki family did not leave as agreed, but planned to escort Yu Qiupi and his party until they returned.
"You have been away like this for so long, who will take care of Mrs. Song? You'd better go back." Yu Qiuping advised.
"I have entrusted several friends in the temple to help take care of him. Asong also has a maid, no problem," Maeda Taki's waved his hand, "My family Asong is sensible! She said, after receiving so many favors from others, you can't leave and insist on letting me follow me. Moreover, I, Chiyo, are not unfaithful! You say that, boy!"
"That's it, then welcome, brother!" Yu Qiuping smiled and high-high.
"This Maeda," said Sera Shin-shou. "Although we are both hostile, we don't have to worry about it here. When we are not on the battlefield, we are friends."
"Sename is so nice!" Maeda Takiya laughed, "Then I'm not polite!"
Semine Shin-samatsu led the caravan to Inoguchicho, which was at the castle of Inabayama Castle in Saito's home castle, and was preparing to collect some information.
"The Saito family won't make any big moves recently." After watching for a while, Masayuki Sanada said to Yu Akihei with certainty.
"Oh? Why?" Yu Qiuping asked in confusion, "Have you obtained any information?"
"The ground is full of information, why don't you look carefully?" Sanada Masayuki smiled. The caravan was on the second floor of a restaurant in the castle town, watching the pedestrians coming and going in the castle town.
"The autumn harvest is coming soon. If the Saito family wants to make some moves, they have to speed up their reserves." Masayuki Sanada said confidently, "Mino suffered a famine last year and the harvest was not good. Now because the autumn harvest is imminent, the food and grass last year have almost been consumed. If you want to send troops, in order to raise military rations, you must purchase grain from the people or all wealthy families." Masayuki Sanada analyzed, "But the grain prices of the small vendors who sold grain just now remained at a normal level without fluctuation."
"That's it..." Yu Qiuping suddenly realized and shook his head, "I can't see anything hahaha..."
Sure enough, after a while, Semine Shin-sama also brought a few people back. He told everyone that according to his conversations with several samurai, the Saito family would not do anything in the near future, just as Masayuki Sanada expected.
Since the Saito family did not show strong hostility towards the Oda family, Seme Shishi did not stay for too long. The group left Inoguchi Town and headed west. On the morning of June 27, they arrived at Akasaka in Ikeda County. Akasaka was not a particularly prosperous place, but a remote small place. Further west, there was the famous Sekihara and Kitaoe Asai family's territory. The group found an inn to stay. Yu Akihei, Amano Kyoto, Maeda Taki family, Honta Kanosuke and Masayuki Sanada were wandering in the castle town of Akasaka Castle, intending to find a place to have lunch.
"Let me tell you, this kind of small shop is the most delicious!" Maeda Taki's family led everyone to a small restaurant on the edge of Castle Town. "The big restaurants in the center of Castle Town are not very good."
"We should have brought our personal guards," Yu Qiuping muttered, "Isn't he a Mino before? You can let him go home and have a look."
"If Lord Naoe comes, there will be no one in the territory to capture the general." Sanada Masayuki smiled, "Although I haven't known each other for a long time, it seems that Lord Naoe is the best at understanding his ideas and intentions."
"Haha, my personal guard and I are particularly close." Yu Qiuhei smiled, "He seems to be imitating the way I handle affairs."
While everyone was chatting and laughing, the shop owner had already brought a dish of fried dishes. The store was not big, there were only four people in total, which seemed to be run by the family. The chef was the hostess, the shop owner, one of their sons and a daughter, and was doing the waiter's work. The boss and his children were very enthusiastic, and there were many customers in the shop, and the business was pretty good. The table sitting on the left of Yuqiuhide was a...well... very beautiful boy, with a few followers next to him. In addition, what attracted Yuqiuhide's attention was another table of samurai in the corner. Maeda Takika said that the accent seemed to be from Omi. Four strong men were respectfully listening to a boy who was just older than Masayuki Sanada talking a lot about the samurai's righteousness.
Suddenly, the girl who was welcoming guests outside the store suddenly screamed, and then a commotion came from outside the door. Yu Qiuping frowned and looked back, and saw more than a dozen strong men dressed in bandits walking in fiercely. One of them was full of beards on his face, as if this outfit had become the standard for bandits? He was hugging the girl who was crying and struggling constantly, and was flirting with her wantonly.
Yu Qiuping thought that the store owner and the girl's brother would be angry, but he didn't expect that the two of them would kneel down in a hurry when they saw these bandits. When the boss's wife saw her daughter being held in her arms by the bandits, she did not dare to resist, but took out tea from the kitchen in a timid way.
"Xiao Ba, I finally came here once, don't you plan to be filial?" The shop owner with a bandit-shaped bearded look at the kneeling shop owner, but his hand was pinched on the girl's buttocks and asked with a wicked smile.
"The arrival of Deshan is really a blessing in the store." The store owner shook and said honestly, "It's just that the share money this month... the villain has already given it!"
"Yes, I gave it to you!" The bandit leader called Lord Toyama snorted, "But the uncle doesn't think it's enough! What's wrong, do you give it to you or not!"
Yu Qiuhei understood it. This Tokuyama bandit seemed to be the gangster in Akasaka, who was domineering in the castle and charged protection fees. Yu Qiuhei felt a deep disgust for such fish people, and his hand was pressed on the hilt of the knife. Honta Nosuke and Maeda Takiya beside him were also very angry, while Amano Kyoto and Masayuki Sanada looked at the performance of their companions around him with some fun.
"Of course I have to be filial to you!" The boss nodded and stood up in a hurry, took out the usual money he had earned from the counter that he had worked hard for him and handed it to the bandits of Deshan.
"This is almost the same." Deshan bandit smiled, "Your daughter is getting more and more beautiful, how about it? I'll sell you face and marry her back as a concubine!" He said, rubbing his unshaven face towards the girl's face. The girl was already crying in fear, but she didn't dare to say anything. The dozen followers behind the bandit also smiled and shouted ok.
"How dare the little girl climb up to the top!" The boss's family was immediately scared and his face turned pale. He kowtowed on the ground like pounding garlic, "Don't dare!"
"I said ok!" The bandit leader roared, as if he felt tired of standing and wanted to find a place to sit down. He happened to be the table of the beautiful boy. Yu Qiuping had just been focusing on the bandit leader, not paying attention to the boy. The boy's face was full of disgust, and since the beginning, he had tightly pinched the teacup in his hand.
"Come on, little boy, make some room for me!" Deshan bandits knocked on the young man's table with a scabbard, and then prepared to move his butt to the young man's seat.
However, to his surprise, the boy completely ignored his existence, silently raised his teacup, took a few sips of tea, and then talked about other things with a few companions as if nothing had happened.
"Damn!" The bandits of Deshan who were completely ignored felt embarrassed. They swept out the boy's teacup and hit the ground, breaking into several pieces. The boy still ignored his existence and couldn't even look at him.
"Is it mute?" A follower behind the bandit cursed in order to save the boss, "I can't even say a word!"
"Let that girl go." As if to slap the follower in the face, the boy suddenly spoke and spit out a few words lightly. The disgust between his eyebrows seemed to have reached its limit.
"I need repairs, right? You know who I am! Toyama Meixiu! Akasaka's uncle!" Toyama Meixiu grabbed the boy's collar and picked up the boy. The boy was a little thin and weak, and the boy was almost lifted up by the latter. Several servants around him stood up angrily, but were forced to be forced by the bandit's followers.
When the shop owner saw a conflict in the store, they hid behind the counter in horror.
"Let that girl go." The boy was raptured in the air, and he didn't seem to care about the dilemma he encountered. Instead, he repeated again, still calmly in his words.
"Uncle is in Akasaka, you can do whatever you want! I think you are tired of living!" Tokuyama Mei Hide snorted coldly, and was about to hit the young man. Under the leadership of the young man, Omi people at the other table immediately pushed away the table in front of him, grew up, and each pulled his sword in his hands, staring at the bandits fiercely. The bandits and followers behind also drew their swords and looked at these people fiercely.
"Is there any other way to do this in broad daylight?" The leading young man was wearing a blue and white samurai uniform. The samurai sword in his hand was also a fine product, and he probably had a great background.
"Oei accent?" Tokuyama Mei Hide turned around and asked, "What are you doing when Lai Mino is meddling in other people's business?"
"I am Asai Kenmasato, the young master of the Asai family!" Kenmasato, Asai Nagamasato, the future of Asai Nagamasato, said sternly: "Why don't you let that girl go!" Yu Qiuhei's eyes suddenly started to burn, and he looked at the future celebrity in the Warring States Period and married the man from Oda City, the most beautiful woman in the Warring States Period! (Although Yu Qiuhei felt that the most beautiful woman in the Warring States Period must be Imakawa Kaede) He was trembling with excitement. The Maeda Taki family looked at Yu Qiuhei and felt that the other party seemed to have a disease that would cause excitement after seeing a special person.
"Oh? The young master of the Asai family? So what? Didn't the Asai family be defeated by the Hexaki family just now?" The bandit was not scared and sneered: "What's the young master of the Asai family in Mino? Your uncle, I am the nephew of Tokuyama Zexiu, Tokuyama! Let's talk about it here, don't meddle in other people's business! Go back to Omi to lick the shoes of the Hexaki family!"
Kenmasa Asai's eyes were red. He couldn't help others to mention the humiliation of his family. The few servants around him were also unkind and were about to fight.
A clever bandit beside Tokuyama Meixiu understood that the young masters of the Asai family must be of higher level than those of them, and they would definitely suffer losses when fighting. So he pulled out his knife, put it on the girl's neck, and cursed: "Who dares to move! This girl will die immediately!" Kenmasato Asai and others were stunned for a moment, and they were afraid of the mouse and did not dare to move.
"Look clearly, it's fourteen to nine now, so I'm afraid!" Mei Hide Tokuyama did not have the good intentions of her subordinates, and deliberately twisted her body and moved the girl away from the knife. She hugged the girl with one hand and grabbed the boy's collar with the other, cursed at Kenmasa Asai, "Do you deserve a beating?"
Suddenly, he felt a pain in his ribs and was pushed hard by someone. Then the girl in his arms was pulled away, and the hand holding the boy's collar was loosened. He turned around in a hurry and saw only five people snatching the girl back, protecting the girl behind him, and drawing swords in his hands. For a heroic young man, he stroked the bangs on his forehead and smiled: "Now it's 14 to 14!"
Yu Qiuhei looked at the bandits in front of him and suddenly felt a deep sorrow. He had the unparalleled world in the future. He had Tadao, Nagamasa of Asai, the gun, the left and right Maeda Tada family, and the inside and outside. The bandits opposite him had no name in history. He actually wanted to fight with him? This is probably the most miserable bandit in history.
