[Comprehensive] Plot Twister · Prequel

Itachi appeared at the street corner carrying two cloth bags, one long and one short.

The shop he chose was different from that of Fei. Itachi chose a shop with average weapon quality, and it could even be said to be similar to other general shops.

The more advanced the store, the narrower the customer base. To quickly achieve the buzz effect, you need a place with a wide enough customer base and a large enough flow of people.

Itachi knew very well that his task was to attract enough spectators, so he didn't go to a shop with a good reputation but a normal flow of people near the door.

As soon as he walked to a shop called Tsukimi, Itachi took off the longer cloth bag on his back and threw it into the shop. Before he entered the shop, the sound of metal hitting the ground was heard.

"Boss, there is something wrong with your house." Itachi stopped at the door and shouted.

The smashing and shouting immediately drew the people out of the shop, and the shopkeeper glanced at the bag thrown on the ground and immediately understood that the person who smashed the place had come.

And he is familiar with the one who smashed the field, isn't he just the little guy who searched for weapons in his shop yesterday.

The boss who has been around for many years was not angry at all, but apologized with a smile, and led Itachi into the house while apologizing: "Tell me what happened, and I will definitely solve it for you!"

After speaking, he waved away the passers-by who were gradually approaching here: "What are you looking at, this is the young master who bought a large sum of goods in my shop yesterday, hurry up and don't offend my God of Wealth!"

Itachi gave the boss a cool look.

In one sentence, he named what Itachi did yesterday, and gave him the status of a young master. His previous behavior of throwing a weapon at the field suddenly turned into a child's temper tantrum.

Tsk, if I didn't want to associate my identity with the ninja, I would have used the transformation technique a long time ago.

"Boss, do you want to bully me when I'm young, coax me into the store and bully me again?"

Itachi followed the boss's words in a good manner, and deliberately showed a slightly aggrieved expression, but he didn't go in anyway.

"I'm afraid you'll lie to me, so I'll tell you at the door."

Anyway, a child’s shamelessness can also be said to be a child’s heart, isn’t it?

Because Itachi has already acquiesced in the identity of a big customer, the boss has no choice but to yell at him now, so he had to smile all over his face: "How can you solve the problem on the street, why don't you go and call your beater? Lest you worry."

Adult

Ming Qi appeared later than him, and is now waiting on the roof.

Itachi wouldn't give the boss this chance, so he simply showed the expression of the brat who doesn't listen to others to the extreme.He took out the weapon wrapped in the cloth bag, it was a gun.

The □□ is not the main weapon of Arashi Country, so the □□ made in the shop is rarely made as a cheap product, and the price of a gun is much more expensive than a knife.

Yuejian is a comprehensive shop, so it’s meaningless to pick on other weapons. Only picking on the good things in its store can arouse the desire of the spectators.

"The hardness of this gun is too weak, and it almost broke after a few uses yesterday. Is it really the work of your shop?"

Although Itachi's voice is not loud, it is very clear, and now there are almost no people around the store entrance, so many people can hear it all at once.

The shopkeeper's smile remained unchanged, seeing that there was no way to pull Itachi into the shop, he simply responded outside the shop: "This is really an accident, the weapons in this shop have always been known for their practicality, although they are not top-quality, they are not likely to break after a few uses. "

He looked around, greeted a few spectators, and pointed the end of the gun to the cut gaps: "If you can cut a weapon of this level a few times, you must have used it on purpose." Let's chop the weapons, Yuejian is not a place that sells the best things, after all, the price...what do you think?"

'Old fox, retreat to advance. '

Itachi is in a bit of trouble. The owner of this shop is always not angry, which makes it difficult for him to make progress in the next step...

Itachi thought for a while and said directly: "It's not a top-notch weapon, and the purchase price is cheaper than your gun."

The boss deliberately widened his eyes and exclaimed: "That's terrible, who doesn't know that my store sells cheap things, and the store is at a loss, right? The young master must be a regular customer of that store!"

"..."

Itachi was a little overwhelmed, he was not good at arguing with people, let alone such a boss who had dealt with many difficult customers.

Can't hit directly...

Ming Qi, who was lying on the opposite roof, rested his chin on Itachi's strenuous response, thinking: It seems that Itachi's reflexes can't be compared with Fei's, and the other two sisters will probably have to take over Uchiha's affairs in the future.

The current group of children has no foundation, and there will inevitably be some among the people who will deal with them frequently in the future who cannot be dealt with by force.For example, the boss Yuejian, who is capable but glib, has nothing to do with Itachi Kong.

"It looks like it's time for me to go."

Ming Qi staggered down from the roof, saw the opportunity to find a gap in the crowd, and got next to Itachi.

"The young master is indeed a frequent visitor. He has touched all the weapons I used, so he must have a higher vision. I'm sorry."

Chapter 45

Ming Qi squeezed out from the crowd with a drawn out tone.

Compared with Itachi's indifferent and arrogant appearance, Ming Qi looks much more ordinary.Yue Jian's boss's eyebrows twitched, this is the type of trouble he hates to deal with the most.Itachi's kind can handle it slickly by himself, but Mingqi's kind is difficult.Because at first glance, the other party is not the type of reasoning, and slickness alone cannot drive people away.

In fact, Ming Qi is not willing to cause trouble for the innocent owner of the weapon shop, but the ninja's task is to collect money to do things, and it is hard to say that all the methods in the middle are very decent.Otherwise, what are they doing in assassination missions and ambush missions?From the standpoint of their customers, Arashi Country and all its citizens are enemies.

"I'm sorry boss, please bear with me a little longer." He bent down and picked up the gun from the ground, "But you are right, the price of the weapons of the Yuejian family is placed there, and it is true that they cannot be brought Compared with the best. And people who will buy Yuejian family weapons must not be able to see their strength, and they don't care about what happens to their weapons."

The truth is the truth, but telling the truth like this will make people angry.

Ming Qi directly skipped the step of Itachi's angering the store owner, and ran into the crowd to provoke many spectators.Because of the relatively good cost performance of the weapons of the Tsukimi family and their rich variety, there are buyers for them from civilians to samurai.Standing at the gate of Yuejian and saying this, Ming Qi undoubtedly made all the guests of Yuejian his enemies.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, a samurai stood up from the crowd and raised his unsheathed knife angrily.

"What do you mean by that sentence!"

Ming Qi grinned at him, with a very sincere attitude: "It literally means that you are weak. A strong person will either choose an excellent weapon, or a weapon that can be easily replaced. Only a weak person will choose a weapon that is cost-effective. Heavy weapons—ah, isn't that too advanced for you?"

Powerful people naturally have easy access to resources and buy better weapons.Either it is so strong that it can easily defeat the enemy without picking a weapon.Therefore, it is indeed not strong enough evidence to choose a middle-of-the-road weapon.

The samurai's face was flushed red by Ming Qi's slow provocation, but he still suppressed his temper, held the handle of the knife tightly, and said rationally: "I admit that it is not strong enough, so I also admit that I choose a weapon with high cost performance. But you have to say it out." What do you mean, what do you want to do?"

In a country that is about to go to war, the endurance of the people will be exerted to the limit.They are less likely to get emotional and less prone to anger.All the energies of the people will be taken away by the impending battle before panic spreads.

Although their tricks were simple, it was amazing that none of them took the bait.

Looking around, Ming Qi immediately changed his attitude.Let the tone of speech be more sincere: "I just like a simple and honest person like you."

The sudden praise made the samurai at a loss for what to say. Ming Qi put the gun back into the hands of the boss Yue Jian: "If you return the gun to you, you don't need to return the money. Just apologize for what you did today. .”

Yue Jian's boss froze, he didn't take the message that Ming Qi pushed over, and asked with a smile: "What does this mean?"

Ming Qi earnestly pointed at the gun, which still had the scars left by their dismantling last night: "We are indeed here today to find trouble, but the boss is a flexible person who values ​​business more than reputation. In this way, we will definitely not be Business opponents, after all, even the customer base is different. I think highly of you."

This confession, everyone knows Ming Qi's reason for coming, peers are fighting each other!But it has already been said that Yuejian's customers are all mediocre, and Mingqi's store is ready to give up most of the customers.And once Ming Qi spoke, the spectators surrounded him even more interested.After all, the conflict between shops has nothing to do with people like them, so there is no need to worry about being involved.

If it was said that a client came to pick things up, Yuejian could still be patient, and it would be fine to send the client away.But it turned out to be a colleague who ran to the door of the store to make trouble. If he accepts the gun now, he will be weak.

"So you came to use my Yuejian reputation as a pedal to pave the way for yourself?"

The boss said with gritted teeth.

"Of course." Ming Qi nodded, and pulled Itachi to his side, "Look, there are quite a few people around now, and no matter what they like or dislike about the weapons I shoot, everyone will Remember me."

"What a low-level method!" Yue Jian boss took back the weapon from Ming Qi, and shouted, "What qualifications does a person like you have to say about the quality of weapons?"

"Speak with my strength." Ming Qi easily pulled out the shorter cloth bag from Itachi's back, and took out the Yishin Taidao, "I can make good weapons, so I won't give up and take them away."

After finishing speaking, he relaxed everything towards the handle, and cut the handle in two.

Shameless people are the scariest, and Ming Qi is now the best among shameless people.

He doesn't care about the obstacles he may encounter in selling knives in the future, and admits frankly that he is looking for something to make the spectators familiar with him, and he doesn't mind what his reputation will become—because the weapons he forges give him the capital to be proud .But that's what makes it all the more irritating!The weapons made of this kind of garbage are so hardened that they can hardly take their eyes off!

Yue Jian's boss was also frightened by Ming Qi's sudden attack and froze in place.

"Cough cough cough—cough cough—"

Unexpectedly, as soon as the knife was cut, Ming Qi coughed while clutching his chest, some dazzling red flowed out between his fingers.Itachi smelled the smell of blood, Ming Qi's fingers were indeed blood.Because Ming Qi's position is originally a sick uncle, so Itachi naturally knows that the other party is playing happily at the moment.

It was also a good time for him to show a shocked look, and reached out to support Ming Qi who was already bending over coughing.

"Don't talk later, pretend to cry."

Ming Qi bowed his waist and put his lips close to Itachi's ear, his voice was extremely soft.

Itachi really wanted to beat him, and now that the mission of the two of them had progressed in a mess, what else did Ming Qi want to do?And let him pretend to cry?Although he can't remember what it was like to do the mission before, what is certain is that he has never pretended to cry!

When he raised his body again, Ming Qi wiped his mouth with a smile, and wiped the blood from his hand to his mouth, looking shocking.It was the first time for the onlookers to see someone slashing a gun with a Taidao and spitting blood.Only the ninja who was arguing with Ming Qi moved his lips a few times, and explained: "He was shocked to the internal organs by the reaction force... But how can a healthy person just shake it casually-hey you-shouldn't- —”

Ming Qi raised his head and twisted his neck, looked around at the passers-by, and said in a wild tone: "By the way, while I still have a few months to live, anyone who wants to fight a knife can come to me at any time. Can you do it to see your fate? I can’t help but die after I’m done, the price is as good as that gun.”

These words undoubtedly confirmed the samurai's guess. He even forgot about Ming Qi's intentional provoking of his anger before: "You don't have lung disease, do you? Hurry up and find a doctor!"

As he spoke, he turned his attention to the little boy who was supporting Ming Qi, who was crying silently and his eyes were red.

"Why are you crying!"

After speaking, the samurai grabbed Itachi with one hand and Ming Qi with the other, clamped him by the elbow, and sent him directly to the doctor.While walking, he shouted at the onlookers: "Don't look, don't block the way!"

Ming Qi laughed wildly and let the samurai drag himself and Itachi away, coughed twice, raised his hand and shouted forward: "Qianliu, hurry up!"

Qian Liu slipped out from some corner, and responded excitedly, "Let's post it!"

The little girl immediately understood Ming Qi's intentions when she saw Itachi's tears, and quickly entered the scene, crying while handing out leaflets to passers-by, and she didn't care whether others accepted it or not, just put them in the arms of passers-by.

Yue Jian's boss was completely confused about the development of the situation, and he didn't find his voice until the transfer leaflets were sent to him: "Little girl, what are you...?"

Qianliu wiped away his tears, cried and stuffed a money bag into the boss's hand: "I'm sorry, boss Yue, we really didn't want to steal your business. I'm really sorry, it's our fault, sorry!"

After apologizing, Qianliu ran away holding the leaflets, crying all the way and handing them out.

Those who hadn't gathered around the door of Yuejian Store were attracted by Qianliu's cries, and somehow received the leaflets.

Chapter 46

On the second day, an anecdote about a swordsmith suffering from lung disease was circulated throughout the samurai circle in the capital.

The opponent is very good at forging weapons, but due to physical illness, he is not mentally right.It seems that he is not far from madness. He brought his nephew and niece to visit relatives and find a shop to hang the decorative knife he made before.Unexpectedly, after seeing the weapon shop in the capital, he went crazy and suddenly said that he wanted to promote his weapons here.

Such rumors combined with Ming Qi's crazy appearance in front of Yuejian's shop yesterday, no one thinks that he is crazy and hateful.A dying swordsmith, his peers don't even bother to hate him.Instead, he would breathe a sigh of relief at his imminent death.

After all, even they have to admit that Ming Qi's weapons are indeed of good quality.

"In just one day, the rumors have already spread like this?" Qian Liu lay down by the window and listened to the news that Fei had inquired outside.

Fei nodded, and told what happened to Ming Qi who was taken to the hospital by the warriors yesterday.

"Yesterday, itachi used illusion on the samurai and doctors in a hurry in the medical hall, forcing them to believe that Ming Qi had tuberculosis and died soon."

Seeing that Itachi's illusion had worked, Ming Qi took the doctor's hand and said in tears that he just wanted to build weapons, and complained that the Land of Fire no longer needed swords and guns because of the rampant ninjas.

"The point is that he said that he doesn't want money, but only wants to build a human sword that meets his requirements." Fei said, and finished her confused Wen Qianliu, "What is a human sword?"

Qianliu was also taken aback, she couldn't understand what a human sword was.

"Let's ask Ming Qi when he comes back."

Several people created a well-known farce in the city, and the farce ended with a passer-by samurai being presented with a Taidao that could cut off a penis.

On the third day, Fei, who had gone to Tojo's house to sell short knives, was found to go to the doctor to get medicine together with Qianliu, who distributed the leaflets.So what happened in front of Tojo's shop was mixed with the rumors created by Ming Qi, and gradually fermented, the rumors became more and more outrageous, and it has reached the point where there is no need for a few people to push behind the scenes to have enough influence the point.

That day, Ming Qi was laying down in the room and pretending to be sick, while Qian Liu and Fei Shou were brewing medicine beside him.

They did not really boil the medicine for Ming Qi to drink, but because Ming Qi said that if he wanted to act, he would do the whole set, and it was impossible for a person with tuberculosis to not smell of medicine and disease.On the first day, the onlookers patronized to watch the excitement, and they didn't realize that Ming Qi was pretending to be sick when there were so many people.But it is impossible for the stage of the few of them in the back to be placed in the market, and the smell on their bodies will be smelled.

"Why can't the stage be at the market?" Qianliu asked while fanning the medicine stove. Didn't the few of them stage a farce just to promote Zhibo's weapons?

Itachi came in with a water basin at this time, mixed a small bag of chicken blood in it, turned the water into light pink and put it on the side.

Seeing Ming Qizheng looking at him with a smirk on his face, he forced himself to think: "It must be because... a knife was sent out."

All the decorative knives have been taken back, and Ming Qi gave the sword that was supposed to be held and used by Itachi to the samurai as a thank you gift for sending Ming Qi to the medical clinic.Since that samurai would be the first to respond to Ming Qi's provocation on the road, it shows that he is a relatively straightforward person.This kind of person does not bow his head when things happen. Although he is not a person who likes to use force to solve problems, he is definitely not afraid to take action.

"That samurai will definitely use new weapons recently." Itachi finally said affirmatively.

"That sword can indeed cut iron like mud, and he will win it easily. At that time, everyone will want to get the weapon of the Shiba family."

Ming Qi stretched leisurely, got up and went to the side of the medicine stove, put on the coat that was being dyed, and rubbed the top of Itachi's head before going out: "That's right."

Sure enough, just two days later, the lunatic swordsmith of the Shiba family became famous among the samurai.

Some people sneered at him, unwilling to let the madman forge weapons for himself.There were also people who were very interested in Ming Qi and asked about his residence.It's just that a few of them are very careful when they go out every day. They really make it known that they live in the city, but they don't know where they live.

Let the rumors about the crazy knifesmith become more confusing.

But this method of evasion is useless in the face of power.

It is not so difficult for the real power class to find Ming Qi and the others. As long as there are people who set up surveillance throughout the city, there will always be one or two people who can see their tracks.In this way, the scope of surveillance was gradually reduced, and the residences of several people were finally determined.

So on the ninth day, when someone knocked on the door of the "relative" house where Ming Qi was staying, he was not surprised at all.They have left enough traces.Children who go out to buy things every day, the smell of blood in the ditch in front of the door, and even the smell of medicine gradually filled the house.No one came to find him until the ninth day, which was actually much later than Ming Qi expected.

So when Lanhu knocked on the door of this house, a pale and sickly young man slammed the door open, rolled his eyes at him and complained unceremoniously: "Why did you come here now? What if I die?"

"..."

I knew that this swordsmith surnamed Zhibo was a lunatic, but I didn't expect that in addition to being crazy, he was so crazy that he wanted to punch him.

Chapter 47

After entering the room, Ming Qi casually poured a glass of water for the other party. There was no tea, but cold water, the unboiled kind that just came out of the well.

"Sit down, since you have spent a lot of effort to find me, you should know my request, right?"

Lanhu was holding cold water, and without even a seat, Ming Qi's blunt tone made him want to throw the teacup out: "Is this how you treat guests?"

Unexpectedly, Ming Qi looked at him with a half-smile, and pointed his finger at the other's heart, Lanhu saw that Ming Qi's finger was about to poke him, and immediately stepped back a few steps.Unexpectedly, such an action made Ming Qi laugh even more happily.

"Do you think you are a guest? If you think you are a guest, I don't welcome you here. You can go out without seeing you off."

"you!"

Lanhu endured and slammed the teacup heavily on the nearest table, his eyes darkened with anger.It's been a long time since no one dared to talk to him like that!

It took him a while to stabilize his expression into the calm and reserved look he had when he entered the door.

"I'm here today to ask you to forge a dagger."

Ming Qi looked at him, raised his chin towards a low stool: "Bring the stool over, let's sit down and talk."

After hearing this, Lanhu held back the urge to snort, brought the low stool over, and sat down straight, regardless of the dirt on the ground and the inconvenience of his own clothes.He could see that Ming Qi was deliberately torturing him.Reminiscent of the other party's statement that he wants to create a "human sword", Lanhu thinks he has fully comprehended Ming Qi's deep meaning.

The so-called human sword is to create a sword that is completely suitable for this person according to a person.

The difficulties he suffered from the moment he entered the door were probably due to his attitude towards coping, right?

Ming Qi took out a stack of papers and two pens from the cabinet, moved another low stool and sat opposite Lanhudu, tilted his head and rested his chin, and said lazily: "I know you are guessing wildly in your heart, no matter what I have to say something about what you are guessing: what are you guessing, you are just thinking about it."

— hold back!This guy is definitely testing him!

Lanhu even took the pen handed over by Ming Qi, and his knuckles were turning white because he held it too tightly.

"Okay, let's draw." Seeing that Lanhu had taken the brush, Ming Qi immediately clapped his hands and announced.

"Wait! You don't even ask me who I am, and for whom did I send the order?" Lanhu stared at Ming Qi, feeling inconceivable for the other party's behavior of pulling a stranger to start painting without caring.

Ming used the pen to scratch his head, and looked at Lanhudu with the eyes of a fool, the irony in it made the other party couldn't help but tighten the pen: "Then tell me."

You didn't ask again!Lanhudu was also fooled by Ming Qi's unreasonable playing of cards, and took a few deep breaths before saying: "In Xialanhudu, I am here to invite Mr. Zhibo to forge the sword by the order of your daimyo."

"Oh."

Ming Qi said indifferently.

Lanhu was waiting for Ming Qi's reaction, but the other party just said "Oh"?What does it mean?Yes or no?

"I'm forging a human sword. I don't know what my name looks like. Forging a ghost." Seeing that Lanhu still couldn't understand his "oh" full of meaning, Ming Qi immediately explained thoughtfully, "Shouldn't your name be like that?" Do you think I forged the sword casually?"

Even Lanhu was relieved when he heard this, and looked at Ming Qi with squinted eyes: "Don't worry about it, the daimyo has invited your nephew and niece to the palace, waiting for you to go there."

In the end, he seemed to feel that the threat was not strong enough, so he added a few more words.

"Of course, the daggers and swords you forged are also placed in the palace at this moment. It doesn't matter if you don't want to forge weapons, you can take good care of your body in the palace."

How fast is the little guy?This has already mixed into the Daming Mansion?

Ming Qi thought about whether his current attitude was arrogant enough, whether it was enough to make the Lanhu in front of him call in the ambushing people outside, knock him out and bring him into the Daming Mansion.But after all, he is a daimyo, and if he is too embarrassing, what if he orders him to be killed to relieve his anger?

The daimyo's current approach is undoubtedly to let none of Zhibo's swords be left outside, and only forge swords for the royal family.If Shiba Mingqi refused, the daimyo hoped that Shiba Mingqi would not even hit him with a knife.

The reason why he deliberately put on an arrogant expression was actually to deepen the impression of "death" in the eyes of outsiders.He needs to let Daming know that he is so crazy that he is not afraid of death or power.In this way, when he talks to the daimyo, the daimyo will believe that all of Mingqi's offensive questions are due to the need for forging knives, and have no other intentions.

But a daimyo is a daimyo after all, and this kind of arrogance must be carefully controlled.

Coincidentally, the royal family tied up a few little guys to the Daming Mansion?He could just use this threat to show himself that he had to succumb.This will make the other party think that the initiative is in their hands.Of course Ming Qi didn't believe that Qianliu and the others couldn't escape the daimyo's pursuit, and nine out of ten they sent them to their door on purpose.

"...Since they are all guests at Daming's place, I'll go and have a look too." Ming Qi said reluctantly on purpose, and his words were much more polite than before.

Seeing Zhibo Mingqi like this, Lanhu finally felt much more at ease.Clap your hands and let the warriors guarding outside the house come in and escort Ming Qi on the road.

"Don't blame me, sir. It's just that the way you cut off the penis that day was really brave. We have to take precautions before it happens, don't we?"

- Make you crazy!hehe!

"As for your relative, we will send someone to explain to him, don't worry."

Chapter 48

Speaking of notifying relatives, Ming Qi scratched his head, feeling a little amused by the greed of the local daimyo.It seems that the daimyo wants to take over the forging knife family?

According to the persona he set up for the team, they were in a foreign country, isolated and helpless, and their only family member was the owner of this house.They were taken away by the people of Daming Mansion, so Ming Qi's relatives here, that is, the connectors, would naturally run to the gate of Daming Mansion to cry for grievances under the rumors of neighbors.

So Hudu's "inform relatives" is very interesting.

What they want to inform is the connector from the land of mist, or the real forging family far away in the land of fire?

I'm afraid it's to coerce and lure Qi into the battle, to intimidate Ming Qi, and then to lure the family of the Fire Nation?

In this country with cold weapons, arms and weapons have undoubtedly been given considerable attention——an emphasis beyond Ming Qi's imagination.

Once the land of mist really gets in touch with the forging knife family in the land of fire, the identities of Ming Qi and the others may be discovered immediately. After all, the fact that they came to the land of mist to visit their distant relatives is a lie.

But it's also hard to say that the forging knife family itself will take the initiative to make the fake come true in order to seek the family's survival.

It's just that Ming Qi didn't really have in-depth contact with Duan Dao's family members, so he really couldn't deduce the direction of this matter's development.There is not much time left for the team.

It would be even worse to hinder the dispatch of the Land of Mist, and to find people who came into contact with the family.

One or two times is okay, but if the number is too many, the daimyo of Lan Zhiguo is a fool and knows that there are spies infiltrating the daimyo mansion.At that time, it will be even more difficult to get formulaic words from the mouth of the daimyo of Arashi country.

"Then after entering the Daming Mansion, please let me meet the children."

Ming Qi thought about the possible situation with a blank expression, and asked Hudu to see Itachi and the others.

"That's natural."

Hu didn't doubt that there was him, so he agreed.

After the group arrived at the Daming Mansion, Ming Qi met a few little ninjas in a remote house.Several people's acting skills are very online, and they jumped on Ming Qi as soon as they saw him coming in. Itachi took the opportunity to stuff something into Ming Qi's hand.

The time is also not clear to Ming Qi.

After all, Hudu only agreed to let him meet with the younger generation of the family, but did not say that they could live together.If you stay together all the time, the effect of the threat will be greatly reduced.

Stuffing the hard object in his hand into his cuff, Ming Qi followed the lake and left here, going to wash his body, ready to meet the daimyo.

Thousands of miles away, in an abandoned shrine in the Land of Fire.

Gui Shihei was buried among a group of young children, rubbing one and then the other exhaustedly.

——He really doesn't know how to take care of children.

His childhood memories are endless work and a stomach that can never be filled. Cold, hunger and even pain are the main body of life.Even if he later became a ghost envoy and signed a contract with an onmyoji, all those he was asked to take care of were rough-skinned and thick-skinned monsters.

So these human children are lives that he has not touched for a long time.

When he was in Heianjing, some children were even scared to cry because he was too fierce - obviously he was still a child at that time!

While the ghost was making Hei pretend to be dead, a child stuck to his chest seemed to be very interested in the thick rope tied behind his back, and was pulling it hard.

"Ah Hei! Ah Hei! This rope is so thick, won't you scratch your back while lying down?"

The child named Ma followed the thick rope all the way to Gui Shihei's back, and grabbed the end of the rope and pulled hard.

Guishi Hei turned over at will, and Ma Cong rolled onto the tatami from his chest.

"No, okay, okay, go to sleep."

Physical training has been started for a while, and every day these orphans toss themselves with an attitude of "must stand out and wash away their grievances", so during this time they are too tired during the day and go to bed very early.

However, there are always a few people who are particularly energetic. They are obviously very tired, but they just refuse to sleep honestly.

Originally, it was only to appease Gui Shihei who was awakened by the nightmare, so he had to spend more energy to take care of these Pippi shrimps.

"Could it be that Ah Hei is like lowering his waist every day, he has to lean up and sleep with his stomach pushed up?"

Ma turned a deaf ear to Gui Shihei's perfunctory, laughed and continued to guess wildly.Knee up to Ghost Angel Hei's legs, carefully study the structure of the rope.

"I said no! If you care so much about me taking it off and going to sleep, okay? Untie it!" Gui Shihei lowered his voice, and carried the hemp from behind to the pavement in front of him with one hand, his face full of threats.

"Eh?!"

Ma was stunned for a moment, and immediately pressed the thick rope on Ghost Messenger Hei's shoulder with his hands.

"Don't untie it, will it happen?"

"I said no... Did you listen to me?"

"How could it not be possible, it will definitely be so thick!"

"...You can do whatever you want. Can you go to sleep?"

"No, it's so perfunctory, answer me seriously."

——Are all children like this? !

Gui Shihei propped himself up feebly, and slowly lay on his back in front of Ma's face: "Is it okay now? Really not."

"What, it turned out to be soft." After getting the answer, Ma showed a deeply shocked expression.It seems that the truth given by Gui Jianghei is completely inconsistent with Ma's guess.

Ghost Messenger Hei held back the words that were about to come out: Didn't you know that the rope is soft even after digging it just now? !

Chapter 49

After confirming that Ma was completely asleep, Gui Shihei left the room lightly without making a sound.

Hiding in this abandoned shrine does not mean that Oni Shihei has nothing else to do.Even if Konoha Village seems to have fallen out with Uchiha now, it doesn't mean that he has also broken contact with Konoha Village.

After all, Ming Qi and Namikaze Minato don't have any conflicts that can't be overcome. Except for the differences on Uchiha's arrangement, they can still cooperate in other aspects.

Just like this time.

Cooperation in the mission of Land of Mist.

In fact, the mission gold given by the enemy country of the Land of Lan is not very high, and there is no need to involve the wood industry.It's just that Itachi made a remarkable discovery in the palace of the Land of Mist, and after passing it to Ming Qi, Ming Qi flew back when he saw the right opportunity, and temporarily changed the mission about the Kingdom of Mist.

According to the mission requirements at the beginning, they only need to extract the other party's military information from the mouth of the Daimyo of Arashi Country.

But what if the Daimyo of the Land of Arashi had died long ago?

The news of Daming's death was firmly controlled by everyone in Daming Mansion, and no leak was made.At the time when the two countries were at war, the people in power in the Land of Lan did not dare to disclose this news at all.

This is why only the daimyo knew about military operations.That's why it was rumored that even the general didn't know the specific plan of this operation. Such an unreasonable thing, the enemy country of the country of mist easily took the bait.

"...So, well, that means he intends to use the power of the enemies of the Land of Mist to simply turn the Land of Mist into his own territory?"

Namikaze Minato stroked his chin, frowning slightly.

"Although it would be nice for Muye Village to have a Changjiao country in the future, but..."

As the head of Ninja Village, Minato Namikaze knows better than Ming Qi how tiring it is to control a country.Not to mention a country, just a ninja village is enough to make people physically and mentally exhausted.

However, Ming Qi still intends to throw such a heavy burden of the country on his shoulders?

Oni Shiguro saw through Namikaze Minato's worries at a glance, and waved his hand indifferently: "Don't think so much, your village chief's tiredness has nothing to do with the number of affairs in the village, it's completely
