Seeing Lu Jiu and the others, Yagami Taiichi had a guilty look on his face. After all, it was he who refused the help of others before, but in the end, it was someone who saved him.

"Don't you want to tell us anything now?"

Shikaku smiled meaningfully.

"This ...... This, after all, is the internal affair of our Wang Zhiguo......"

Yagami Tai made a final argument, but Shikaku interrupted mercilessly.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency. I'm afraid it will hurt your feelings to say it, but you must know that it is impossible for your country to be politically autonomous as a buffer zone between several ninja village forces, and we in Konoha have always been willing to treat friends kindly. However, this time it is clear that the Iwa ninja forces have appeared in your country and intend to cultivate political forces to control your country! This is absolutely unacceptable, so we must ask you to explain the truth to us. ”

Hearing Lu Jiu say this, Taiyi's face was very bad, and he lowered his head in frustration, maybe this is the sadness of a weak country, there is no so-called freedom at all in the circle of right and wrong. It took a long time for him to raise his head again.

"Okay, I see, but where do I start?"

"Let's start with this letter of state. ”

Faced with Taiyi's embarrassment, Lu Jiu held up something in his hand. Yagami Taiichi was amazed to see that thing.

"This, how can the national letter be here with you?"

"Meow~~"

In response to him, there was a cat meow, and Meow Nosuke still had that little burden in his mouth, looking at him cutely.

"Ahh ”

Taiichi Yagami excitedly picked up Meow Nosuke and put it in his arms, almost crying with excitement.

Shikaku and Harumi finally realized that Meow Nosuke was unusual, if it was okay before, calling a cat like this could be understood as a disguise, but now......

Taichi Yagami seemed to understand their confusion, and he didn't rush to explain, he decided to make it clear from the beginning, perhaps because he believed in Meow Nosuke's choice more.

……

"In fact, since a year ago, the Daimyo of Chengpei had noticed that the third prince was in contact with the forces of Iwa Ninja Village, but out of fear of war, the Daimyo did not plan to make a statement, but later, the Daimyo suddenly found that his health was getting worse and worse one day......

It was an old disease left over from his early years, and after years of accumulation, the adult's body finally couldn't bear it, perhaps realizing that his life was running out, and the adult began to think about the heir......

My lord has a total of three heirs, and the eldest son died at an early age, so now there are the second and third sons left for the daimyo to choose. The second son is very much like a big name, both generous and forbearing, and he is also very sophisticated. The third prince dealt with the problem aggressively, always advocating to make Wang Zhiguo a more powerful country, and asked the daimyo several times to develop an army and his own ninja village......

In contrast, the second prince is more in line with the daimyo's wishes, but the third prince has made a group of radical generals around him because of his radical remarks and clear political position, plus he is a "pro-soil faction", so he quickly got the support of Iwa Shinobi, and in this way, the third prince overwhelmed the second prince who was only supported by some civil servants in terms of real power. And when the third prince knew that the daimyo liked the second prince more, something terrible happened......

The third prince led the military generals into the daimyo's mansion at night to launch a coup d'état, and put the daimyo under house arrest in poor health. However, after the daimyo was placed under house arrest, the third prince did not find the seal of the daimyo in the palace. The Daimyo Seal is an important token, and in addition to issuing national documents, it is also the only document for commanding the Daimyo's personal guards. It is precisely for this reason that the third prince now only dares to say to the outside world that the daimyo is recuperating in the palace, and he will supervise the country. ”

"So, where did the Daimyo Seal go?"

Qingyang heard the appearance of the key item and immediately asked about its whereabouts.

"The seal of the daimyo is here ...... me"

"What?!"

Qingyang and the three couldn't help but scream, and Lu Jiu obviously expected it.

I saw Yagami Tai put his hand on the back of Meow Nosuke's neck, and drew a thread with his finger from the thick hair, and a small seal was tied to this thread, which looked very inconspicuous, just like the bell that often hangs around the neck of cats.

"A few days before the third prince put the daimyo under house arrest, the daimyo seemed to have a premonition of danger, secretly summoned me, and handed me the daimyo seal......"

"So you secretly left the kingdom of Wang with the seal, and as a secret envoy, you sent an edict to several of your friends, and got their letters of support for the succession of the generous second son. and plans to return to China to support the second son's succession. ”

"Huh? ”

Yagami Taichi looked at Lu Jiu in a panic, and Lu Jiu's eyes glanced at the burden.

"It's simple, analytical. ”

“……

That's right, because the stakes are so high, so I chose to come back alone, but when I returned to the capital, I found that the second son was missing......"

This incident surprised everyone, but Shikaku didn't bother him and motioned for him to continue.

"It turned out that after the third prince put the daimyo under house arrest, in the few months since I left, the third prince took advantage of a so-called tax official corruption case to suspend the entire tax department and implement military management. And began to loot the merchant class on a large scale. The Minister of Commerce and Finance, Taeming, did not react to this and let it be done!

In this way, the power of the Sangongzi Group is getting bigger and bigger. And the second son, who had almost no armed forces in his hands, had no way to face such military blackmail, and finally two months ago, the second son suddenly disappeared.

And when I got back to the city, I was quickly targeted by Konoe Muramatsu and his ninjas, and I was captured, and that's what I am now. ”

The three of them suddenly realized, so that everything made sense. No, there's one thing yet. Eko stood up.

"Mr. Taiyi, what you said has nothing to do with Meow no Suke, what the hell is Meow no Suke?"

Taiichi sighed, his face full of sadness.

"Meow-no-sama is actually the childhood friend of the Daimyo, but I lied about the rest......

It's all my own making.

……

Daimyo was poor when he was young, as the only heir of the Izumiwang family, his parents all died when Daimyo was three years old, and Daimyo was raised and educated by the eldest princess, the Daimyo's aunt, to train him to become a qualified lord.

In order to keep the young daimyo from feeling lonely, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess brought in Shinobi Meow no Suke. In the company of Meusuke-sama, Daimyo spent a happy childhood.

However, unlike Meow no Suke, who has a special body structure and will never grow up, the daimyo will eventually grow up one day, and the daimyo who gradually grows up begins to handle more official duties, and Meow no Suke-sama is supported in the harem.

Until one day, the little princess of Toyo no Kuni came to our country. The country of abundance and the country of Wang are generations of in-laws, unwavering allies, and there is a blood relationship between the royal family. The little princess is the granddaughter of the daimyo according to her seniority. When she saw Menosuke-sama, she immediately liked it. At that time, it was the daimyo in the prime of life, so he decided to appoint Meow no Suke-sama as the "goodwill ambassador" of the two royal families, so that Meow no Suke-sama followed the little princess back to China.

Although the daimyo is long past that age, I know that in the back of my heart, I have always missed Meusuke-sama.

A year ago, after the daimyo fell ill, he has been in the harem. Unable to deal with too much state affairs anymore, he could only pass the time by meditating and looking at the courtyard of the harem.

Perhaps it is because the elderly are very fragile in the face of their own lives that are about to disappear, and the adults also remember the good times that belonged to them at the beginning.

That time, I could clearly hear the adults muttering to themselves.

"I think I'll take another look at Meow Nosuke...... It's good to ...... once."

I wanted to fulfill the small wishes of this old man, so in the course of my secret mission, when I exchanged letters in the country of Toyono, I begged the daimyo of Toyonokuni to bring Meownosuke-sama back to Japan.

That's where everything comes next......"

Hearing Taiyi tell the whole story of this matter, the four of them had a black line. Wang Zhiguo...... Harvest Country...... Wang Feng?("This is the feeling of flying~~"Everyone thinks I don't have it^O^)

To explain the reason, Yagami Taiyi knelt down and slammed his head to the ground.

"Sorry for lying to everyone, I know it's rude. For you ninjas, the interests of the village are paramount, but please help me at the same time so that Meow no Suke can last meet the adults. My lord, he is already under house arrest. I can't enter the palace alone......"

……

The four of them were silent, Lu Jiu nodded helplessly, many things today were too unexpected for him. After all, he was only a wise man, not a prophet.

"Teacher, I have a problem. ”

Qingyang made a different sound at this time.

"According to what you said before. The information we had at the time could only tell that it was a political struggle for succession, and it seemed that there was no reason why we had to come back, right?"

Shikaku smiled and pointed at him.

"I know you're going to ask, it's simple, it's still based on analysis. At that time, I found many national letters in my baggage, but the only ones that really had weight were the country of wind where the sand shinobi was. If you want to achieve the goal of a smooth change of head of state by taking the outside-in path, you need to get as much diplomatic support as possible. The most reasonable explanation is that other great powers cannot be trusted. Before the merger, I immediately thought that there should be Iwa Shinobi's forces behind this......"

"It's also possible that we, because there is also no Fire Country in the national letter, and Mr. Taiyi entrusted a mission in Konoha but did not have a national letter from the Fire Country, which means that Konoha is also not trusted. ”

Qingyang said another possibility with a solemn face, and he realized that there was a lot of involvement behind it. Lu Jiu's face sank like water.

"Can you tell me why? We in Konoha don't have the trust of your country?"

Taiyi's face is also very bad.

"Because we also found out that the third prince had contact with some of Konoha's higher-ups......"

Lu Jiu raised his eyebrows.

"Some high-ups?"

"Shimura Danzo ......"

"What?!"
