For the core disciple of the top elite like Liu Yu, whether it is voluntary or not, he will accept the teaching of the "Emperor's Heart Technique" since he was a child. **() Even if you don't care about it, under the influence of the ears and eyes for a long time, Liu Yu also knows what is called "the way of balance".

Although Liu Yu was sure of Uesugi Chiako's heart for him and could ensure that she would not betray, he couldn't handle the retainers of the Uesugi family. After all, Uesugi Chiako is not only his woman, but also the governor of the Uesugi family, representing the collective interests of a powerful force.

Although the reason why Liu Yu established a stronghold in this world was not to dominate the world, he also did not want to see the power left over after his "ascension to the upper realm" completely controlled by the retainers of the Uesugi family.

Originally, Liu Yu was going to train the wind demon Kotaro to balance the Uesugi family, but after seeing the different side of Ishikawa Goemon, he was relieved. According to Ishikawa Goemon's ability to buy people's hearts and the degree of support, Liu Yu did not have to worry at all that after he "ascended to the upper realm", Ishikawa Goemon would not be an opponent of the Uesugi family's retainers.

Liu Yu felt that he really underestimated his first subordinate in this world, and he thought about it, Akechi Mitsuhide was an outstanding person with the title of "cold commander", how could Ishikawa Goemon who could be valued by him and accepted as his righteous son, just a reckless and vulgar thief?!

If you are sure that Ishikawa Goemon has the courage and mind to compete with the Uesugi family, then he will vigorously cultivate it, after all, Kotaro Kazemo is too young to grow up in a few years......

After Liu Yu, who had made a decision, walked into the hall, he said directly without waiting to sit down: "Tomorrow is the rendezvous period with the righteous people of the wise family, so before that, we will get some meeting gifts for them!" Goemon, you go down and prepare, tonight we will go and destroy Toyotomi Hideyoshi's power in Mikawa Town! ”

"Yes, my lord." Ishikawa Goemon nodded and glanced at Hideji Hatano with an excited look in his eyes. Said respectfully: "The subordinates will arrange for someone to take the lord to rest for a while, and when the subordinates make proper arrangements, they will come and ask the lord to lead us to encircle and suppress Toyotomi Hideyoshi's power!" ”

##########################################

Mikawa Town is located at the confluence of three rivers, so it is convenient for river transportation. It is also the trading center of all villages within a radius of 100 miles, so the market streets are prosperous, the travel is crowded, and there are many wines, residences and art houses. Especially at night, I saw the lights of thousands of homes, bright and uncertain, and the pedestrians on the street were rubbing shoulders and bustling. What a peaceful and prosperous scenery!

Walking on the streets, Liu Yu nodded while watching: "Toyotomi Hideyoshi's ability is indeed good, at least in terms of attracting investment, it is much better than Oda Nobunaga's violent guy who only knows how to be tough!" The prosperity of a 'town' within the scope of his power is no longer under Kiyoshu Castle, the main city of Oda Nobunaga! However, what is strange is that the main city of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Sumata Castle, where he lives, is very simple......"

"Lord, there's a reason for that!" Ishikawa Goemon, who was accompanying him, said softly, "Sumata Castle was built not far from the place where the outer demons descended, and the main purpose of its existence was to kill those extraterrestrial demons that appeared from time to time. Some of the Extraterrestrial Demons are very weak. A few samurai can be killed. But some of the demons outside the world are extremely powerful. It often takes all the power of a city to successfully kill in a lose-lose way.

Of course, at that time, the main battlefield of Sumamata Castle was usually destroyed. After several times, Oda Nobunaga was reluctant to allocate funds to rebuild Sumamata Castle. Instead, in order to get rid of this burden, he gave it to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. And Toyotomi Hideyoshi was not willing to spend unjust money. Therefore, instead of vigorously repairing the castle, the funds given to him by Oda Nobunaga were transferred to the shomachi under his rule......"

Raise an eyebrow. Liu Yu nodded and said, "Toyotomi Hideyoshi's approach is very smart...... However, if the funds to repair the castle are only used to build a merchant town, then it is too abundant, and he should have the investment to do business? ”

"The lord is wise!" Ishikawa Goemon nodded and said, "In Mikawa Town alone, Toyotomi Hideyoshi has a total of fourteen large and small businesses, all of which are well-equipped and prosperous, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi receives a lot of money every month, and in the other four trading towns under Toyotomi Hideyoshi, there are also forty-eight transactions in total, with a total monthly income of more than 100,000 kan......"

After a pause, Ishikawa Goemon said: "It is said that the so-called 'Gojo Goshu' under Toyotomi Hideyoshi is in charge of the business of Shomachi, but which of the five commissions in Mikawa Town manages the affairs here, Hatano Hideharu does not have enough sources to find out in detail......"

Liu Yu waved his hand and said disapprerovitically: "This can't be blamed on Hideji Hatano. Under the difficult situation of enemy horses all over the place, it is really not easy for him to know these things with only a few people and so little foundation! ”

Ishikawa Goemon didn't really criticize Hideji Hatano, he was just afraid that Liu Yu would think Hideji Hatano was incompetent, so he deliberately blamed him, and seeing that Liu Yu was not surprised by this, he naturally didn't say much, and immediately changed the topic and said: "Lord, if you want to destroy all the fourteen transactions of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, then I'm afraid it's too late in time, so I first selected the three most profitable deals, and the building over there is the first target......"

Liu Yu took a closer look, and there was indeed an extraordinary, luxurious and magnificent building standing next to the street, the door downstairs was very large, and the colorful and ten-sè continued silk and satin were arranged between the shelves, dazzling and beautiful. **(）

Behind the long black counter, there stood a middle-aged man with a round white face and a square beard, who was carrying his hands behind his back and watching the guys in the store busily greet customers and pick up the cloth......

Looking at the five golden characters on the plaque outside the store: "Toyotomi Silk House", Liu Yu couldn't help laughing and said: "Could it be that all the transactions under Toyotomi Hideyoshi's name have the prefix 'Toyotomi'?" ”

Ishikawa Goemon nodded and said, "The sixty-two transactions in the five trading towns are all named 'Toyotomi', and I think it is to deter those who are not open-minded and to deter ordinary merchants who want to compete for business......"

Liu Yu felt that Toyotomi Hideyoshi's purpose was not in this, maybe ...... Toyotomi Hideyoshi has the concept of "group chain"?!

Shaking his head amusedly, Liu Yu asked, "In addition to this silk house accident, what are the other two targets?" ”

"The second is 'Toyotomi Mikawa Sake House' on another side street, and the third is 'Fujinoya', the only art house in Mikawa-cho, I think if the Gojo Nakaku were in Mikawa-cho. Must have stayed there......"

Sighing, Liu Yu said: "To be honest, after exterminating Toyotomi Hideyoshi. These are all mine, and it is really not good to start with my own business......"

With a smile, Ishikawa Goemon comforted him, "My lord." It is precisely because of this consideration that the subordinates only selected three places to buy and sell. Moreover, although these three transactions were profitable, they were also quickly rebuilt after destruction, unlike blacksmiths and medical halls. Skilled blacksmiths and physicians are needed ......"

Liu Yu nodded, and wrapped the hem of the turban around his mouth and nose, completely covering half of his face, and at the same time, Ishikawa Goemon did the same. In order to avoid attracting attention, the two of them lowered their heads, and they just kept their heads down and hurried to the Toyotomi Silk House!

A shopkeeper in a silk robe greeted him with a smile on his face. He's stiff and handy. Said: "Two guests, please, what kind of silk and satin, weaving in the south and spinning in the north, our store has all the sales, there are many flowers, and the fabric is new ......."

For this guy who came up. Liu Yu didn't even look at him, turned around and walked towards the counter.

The guy was stunned. Liu Yu had already arrived at the counter, and the white-faced, round-faced, bearded shopkeeper standing behind the counter. But not as kind and easy as this shop guy, he didn't look like a businessman's face at all, as soon as he saw someone approaching the counter, he immediately frowned, and said, "What are you going to do?" Go over there to buy something, this is a counter heavy, it is a matter of money, and idlers should not approach! ”

Liu Yu glared at him coldly, and said in a deep voice, "I'm not here to buy cloth. ”

Suddenly found that Liu Yu was covering half of his face, and the shopkeeper immediately felt that he took half a step back, was on guard, and said sharply: "Are you a ronin who seeks wealth?" Do you know what this place is? His Royal Highness Toyotomi Hideyoshi's support for the business, how can he allow Xiaoxiao to come to the wilderness? ”

At this time, some people in the store were already aware of the dispute here, some customers were already avoiding it, and in addition, three or four shopkeepers quickly surrounded from behind!

Liu Yu's eyes were condensed, his eyes were shining like blades, and the shopkeeper of Fang Cun Hu touched his sight, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body, he was shocked and took a step back, and shouted in horror: "You...... What do you want? Who are you? ”

Liu Yu yīnyīn smiled heavily and said, "Don't use the name of Toyotomi Hideyoshi to press me, to me, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is not a thing at all......"

Fang Cun trembled angrily, his eyes widened, and he yelled: "Come on, take down this nonsense ronin for me!" ”

With a shout, the three guys who had already surrounded Liu Yu immediately rushed up and suddenly pounced on him!

Liu Yu didn't even look back, his right leg suddenly turned over, and the three shopkeepers who pounced on him had already wailed like killing pigs, and in the same violent sound of bones, the three people completely fell upside down, and all six legs were broken and broken!

No one saw the movement of Liu Yu's right hand clearly, and the shopkeeper had already screamed wildly, and his face was splashed with blood, and he fell headlong under the shelves behind!

Immediately, the whole store fell into chaos, screaming and screaming and roaring together, people rushed to run, push and trample, and the scene was suddenly out of control!

The shopkeepers who were still smiling and flattering and humble now had completely revealed another hideous face, one by one, snatching the murder weapon and rushing towards Liu Yu from all directions!

didn't even lift his eyelids, Liu Yu's figure was up and down, so understated and unpredictable, and in the movement of his body, the figures had been swirling and shaking into the air, and one by one their bodies were tumbling like gourds rolling on the ground, screaming miserably, and blood spurting like a spring!

The shelves "lala" toppled over, the colorful silk cloth spread and fluttered, the bamboo ruler and abacus were also thrown to the ground, coupled with the throwing impact of the human body, the whole scene was doubly poignant!

Ishikawa Goemon also moved at the right time, his skills were like the wind, he was delicate, his palms and kicks were like a cunning leopard, a falcon eagle, fierce and fierce, and in an instant, there were already six or seven enemies on the ground under his attack!

With a clap of his hands, Liu Yu repaired the bullet with his left foot. Kicked a shopkeeper who was dodging in a panic into the air, and the sound of "Peng" hit the roof with a bang, and his head was smashed. Red and white splashes!

Liu Yu clapped his hands, swept out of the door leisurely, and said in a deep voice: "It's time to go!" ”

Ishikawa Goemon said respectfully, and it was time to turn around. The toes picked up a katana in the ground, and suddenly kicked it in the air, and the cold light flashed, and a shopkeeper who was running up the stairs was pierced by the katana that flew away, and he rolled off the horizontal ladder with a trembling wail!

The two rushed out the door. Some idlers who watched the excitement from afar on the street suddenly shouted and fled one after another as if they saw a fierce god, Liu Yu said coldly: "You lead the way, let's go to the second house!" ”

Ishikawa Goemon gladly accepted the order, and swept like a meteor across the sky. The two walked side by side, and in a few ups and downs, they came to their second destination - Toyotomi Mikawa Wine House!

It is also a huge building with a deep house and a majestic appearance. Outside its door, the tall red lantern shines. You can see a few characters dressed as shopkeepers chatting and joking on the stone steps, obviously, they don't know about the bloody battle that took place on the street in front of the road!

Liu Yu didn't say a word, and stepped forward, but the shopkeepers hadn't even seen his figure clearly, and a total of four people had already fallen out of the gang in four different directions. The scarlet blood that spurted from their mouths reflected the red glow of the tall red lantern. It looks more and more brilliant and weird......

Swept through the door, a skinny figure dressed as a tent man slammed headlong into it. His eyes lit up, and he just drank: "Who is ......" The words below him can never be said again! His thin head had been thrown five meters away under Liu Yu's palm, rolling like a briquette in the ground!

It was a very richly and elegantly furnished hall, and the guests who were now in the classroom were doing things that were not luxurious or elegant—the sudden killing frightened them, and they couldn't escape it, and they all burrowed under the low tables, revealing only their big buttocks.

Not caring about these people, Liu Yu and Ishikawa Goemon swept directly to the backyard, where there was a cloister, a jīng house, a garden, and a rockery, which belonged to the consumption place of "high-class VIP" drinkers, and was also the office of the head of the wine house.

The two shopkeepers were hurrying from the other end of the road, and they suddenly saw Liu Yu and Ishikawa Goemon who were rushing towards them with a thunderous momentum, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and the two of them were all shocked there!

Although Liu Yu had a mind to train Ishikawa Goemon to be an old minister who could compete with the retainers of the Uesugi family, for Ishikawa Goemon, he still positioned himself as Liu Yu's "pawn".

In the previous killing, Liu Yu contributed the most, which made Ishikawa Goemon blame himself very much, and felt that he had not been able to worry about the main public. So he is very active at this time, as a "pawn", how can he let his own lord do it again and again? !

At the moment when Ishikawa Goemon was about to cast a hot hand, he suddenly recognized one of them as his acquaintances, and in a turn of his mind, his palms all crashed into the shopkeeper he didn't know next to him!

The one who was slapped seemed to suddenly lose weight, and his body was shocked out of the outline, rolling in the air and falling straight to more than six meters away, before falling heavily behind a rockery!

The rest of the one, even the urine was scared out, he shook sharply, his face was gray, his eyes rolled white, and he almost closed his breath......

Liu Yu noticed the abnormality of Ishikawa Goemon, and did not interfere, but gave him a look and asked him to deal with it himself. So, Ishikawa Goemon looked at the survivors with a cold face and said, "Are you Shintaro?" ”

Trembling, the man said with a blue face and white lips: "Yes...... Be...... My lord...... Small...... Small...... It's Ishihara...... Shintaro ......"

The splitter slapped this Shintaro, hit him with blood all over his mouth, sat down on the ground, stroked his face with both hands and cried, Ishikawa Goemon said stiffly: "If you dare to make a little noise, I will skin you alive!" ”

Suddenly swallowed back the call sign that came to his mouth, Shintaro's whole body convulsed, tears flowed, he didn't even dare to wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth, he only trembled vigorously. "Yes...... It's ......"

Ishikawa Goemon said coldly: "Who is the leader here?" Where does he live? ”

Taking a breath, Shintaro choked up and stammered, "Yes...... He was the head of the five commissions under Toyotomi Hideyoshi...... His name is ...... Ishida Mitsunari ...... Only...... Live in the back ...... Back East ...... East Wing...... ......"

Liu Yu started without saying a word, and Ishikawa Goemon then caught up, and before leaving, he flew and pointed at Shintaro's death hole!

Shintaro stiffened his body, and when he didn't realize what was going on, he couldn't be conscious anymore, so he stared at a pair of frightened and confused eyes, and slowly fell to the ground!

Hurriedly came to Liu Yu's side, Ishikawa Goemon asked in a low voice: "Lord, this person was originally the surname of his father-in-law, but I didn't expect him to be a shopkeeper here......"

Raising his eyebrows, Liu Yu deliberately asked: "Since he is your father-in-law's old servant, why do you want to kill him?" ”

Ishikawa Goemon was indifferent and said: "Apostasy and betrayal, cheeky enemies, shouldn't you kill them?" ”

Smiling, Liu Yu asked again: "Maybe he was also forced to ......"

With a cold smile, Ishikawa Goemon said: "As far as his kind of greedy and spineless nest looks like he is greedy for life and afraid of death, it doesn't matter if he is forced or not, because he will always follow the new master, no matter how the new master becomes his master!" ”

(I wish the elderly friends a happy Chongyang Festival!) Happy everyday! (To be continued......)
