Chapter 227: Gradually locked
The palace of the daimyo of the country of Wang, in the harem. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the queen's bedchamber, two beautiful women sat opposite each other, and the two richly dressed beauties had five or six points of similarity in physiognomy.
One of them, the woman who looked younger, pinched the teacup on the table with her white fingers, tasted it elegantly, and then said in a soft tone of concern.
"Sister, brother, what does he think? It is not an exaggeration to say that the form of this country is at stake. ”
This woman is the queen of the kingdom of Wang, that is, the wife of Izumi Wang Shota, and the youngest sister of the daimyo of the land country, Takeda Scarko. The one sitting across from Takeda Scarlet is her sister Takeda Takeshi, and Takeda Takeda has another identity, which is the wife of Takeda Fumijun, the Minister Plenipotentiary of the Land Country in Wang's Country. was asked by her sister like this, and Takeda Akiko also had a touch of melancholy between her eyebrows.
"Well, how can I know what my brother thinks, and he is now more willing to trust his sister-in-law, who is a plenipotentiary than I am. ”
The scarlet man buried his head and wanted to weep.
"Brother, why did he do this? Isn't it okay that everything is going according to the way it is? Could it be that he really wants to annex Wang Zhiguo? Then how will he settle me and Zhengtai at that time?"
Takeda Scarlet has a tendency to shed tears as she speaks, although she and Izumi Wang Shota are united because of a political marriage. But after marriage, the relationship between the two has always been very good, and the husband and wife have long become one. She has long regarded her husband's country as her own.
"Scarlet, you don't have to be too upset. Anyway, it's our brother after all, I believe he still cares about your sister's feelings in his heart, and we don't want to get involved in things between men. ”
Takeda Ako half persuaded her sister, and the other half seemed to be persuading herself. Not all political marriages can be as lucky as their own sisters, and it is clear that Akiko is the unfortunate one. In the best years of a woman, she suffered from her husband's alienation in the best years, and in the eyes of Takeda Fumishun, this beautiful princess is obviously not as attractive as career and power.
"Sister, I understand what you mean. But where am I worried about myself? I'm afraid of Shota and my brother, and whoever gets hurt is not what I want. It's true that Wang Zhiguo is not a threat to the land country, but how should those powerful ninja brothers deal with it? I'm really afraid that he will be like his father ...... back then."
"Scarlet, don't say it. ”
Takeda stopped her sadly, and at the same time, her body trembled slightly.
The two sisters thought of the sad past again, and looked at each other without saying a word, only tears sprinkled on their chests.
……
Fujibun's official residence.
"Staff Officer Shikamaru is not in the palace to investigate the case, why are you interested in coming here?"
The ambassador of the Land of Fire, Fujifumi, stared at the book in his hand, and it seemed that the scroll in his hand was extremely attractive. I didn't even want to look up when I talked to Shikamaru.
"Pretending ......"
Shikamaru snorted coldly in his heart, not wanting to spend more money with him on that unnecessary tongue at all.
"Fujibun-sama, I think you should put the book down. I don't have much time to waste here with you, and to be honest, I'm not happy with the information you've provided us. ”
"Oh?"
Fuji Wen raised his eyebrows, and then put down the book. looked at Shikamaru in front of him with interest.
"So what does Shikamaru Nakashinobu want me to say? If you can come up with a reasonable excuse, I can ignore your faux pas. ”
Shikamaru was not intimidated by Fuji's words, and said calmly.
"Lord Fujibun, I have to say that you can really be called a qualified politician who knows how to protect yourself. You didn't tell us all about it in order to avoid the daimyo's wrath in the future, did you? After all, you still didn't trust us completely. ”
After saying this, Fujibun's face burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, young people nowadays are really domineering. It's no wonder that you are so old to be so trusted by Lord Qingyang. I don't have the same momentum as you when I'm your age. You say, what do you want to know, but in the end, whether I answer or not depends on what you ask me. ”
"You're still struggling at the last minute. ”
Shaking his head helplessly, Shikamaru stared at Fujibun tightly.
"I just want to know what deal the Daimyo made with the Daimyo of the Land Country in private, or what exactly are they negotiating?"
“……”
Pressing his hands on the case, Fujibun muttered.
"What I have always insisted on is the balance between the daimyo and the ninja village, and the daimyo and the ninja village co-govern our country is the luck of the fire country, no matter which side is too strong, it is easy to make this country go down the wrong path. But now, it seems that such a balance cannot be maintained in a warm way, and on the stage of Wang no Kuni, the ninja is destined to compete with the Daimyo, and only through this means can the Fire Country regain its balance. ”
Shikamaru didn't interrupt the other party, and from Fuji Wen's words, he could almost analyze the old bureaucrat's political persistence, but it was a pity that his well-intentioned insistence was obviously unable to hold on in this special era.
"Don't worry, Lord Fujibun, no matter what, we are still ninjas in the Land of Fire. Konoha is still under the rule of the Daimyo, and if he hurts the authority of the Daimyo too much, let alone Hokage-sama, even Lord Haruyo will not allow such a thing to happen. ”
"Well, at this time, I can only choose to believe your words, after all, what the daimyo did do a little too much this time. However, I regret that I don't know much I can tell you, and I really don't know much about the Daimyo's dealings with the Tsuchino Country. All I can say is that there are two key figures between the two daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth. ”
"Two key people?"
Shikamaru asked curiously, and Fujibun nodded and continued very firmly.
"That's right, these two key figures are the ministers that the two daimyo trust very much, and in this incident, the two of them are responsible for matchmaking and playing an important role in liaison. It can be said that including Wang Zhiguo, who was successfully controlled by Iwain this time, also has their shadows. ”
"Who are they?"
"Shimura Shikai of the Shimura clan of the Land of Fire and Takeda Fumishun, brother-in-law of the Daimyo of Wangno Kuni. ”
Fuji Wen said these two names expressionlessly, and before Shikamaru could react after these two names were just spoken from Fuji Wen's mouth, a person appeared in the room with a whoosh, and it was Qingyang's immortal clone.
"Lord Fujibun, are you sure that everything you say is true? It doesn't matter to the people of the Land Country, but the people of the Shimura clan must not be framed. The Shimura clan and the Sarufei clan are big clans that participated in the construction of the village at the beginning of Konoha's founding. ”
After receiving an affirmative answer, Qingyang's face suddenly became gloomy.
"These bastards, it's hard to guard against thieves day and night, the people of Konoha actually did such a thing, it seems that the village needs to be cleaned more thoroughly!"
"Lord Qingyang, now is not the time to talk about this, the matter in front of you is the most important thing to solve. ”
Shikamaru felt his awe-inspiring murderous aura from the tone of the immortal doppelganger, and judging from what Qingyang did at the beginning of the establishment of the Patience Department, he knew that sooner or later Qingyang would have to completely confront those big clans. But that's not what to focus on right now.
"Okay, what you said makes a lot of sense, let's solve the matter at hand first. If the prediction is good, that Takeda Wenshun should be in Wang Zhiguo, right? lock him up and arrest him immediately!"
