Chapter 18: Marriage?
The ghost lantern Phantom Moon came to the main seat and sat down, then looked at the silent crowd below, nodded, and said, "Since everyone has arrived, let's start holding a meeting." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Yes. ”
A middle-aged man who followed the ghost lantern Phantom Moon immediately said "yes" in a deep voice, and then formed a handprint in his hand. As the mudra was completed, the sound of ninjas coming and going was heard outside. Then, the people in the hall felt the air around them shake slightly, and then they didn't feel anything anymore.
It is a means of guarding against enemy spies, and thanks to the wonderful properties of chakra's energy, the ninjas of this world have developed the technology to listen from a distance. Of course, there will naturally be corresponding countermeasures. The meeting was held by the people in an anti-eavesdropping technology developed by Wuyin Village. By casting a special seal on one place, you can prevent most outside snooping.
Feeling that the seal had been opened, the Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon looked at the village bigwigs present and said in a deep voice: "I think you have already understood the main topic of today, so you don't need to introduce the specific situation, just start ......"
Speaking of this, the Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon seemed to remember something, turned her gaze to Shui Wuyueqi, and said, "By the way, all of you of the Shui Wuyue clan, do you need to know more about the specific situation?"
Everyone's eyes also looked at Shui Wuyue Qi cooperatively, waiting to see how this new talker of the Shui Wuyue clan would respond.
Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon asked this, obviously implying that Shui Wuyue Qi was low in seniority and young age, questioning whether he could properly participate in the discussion. Therefore, after hearing the question of the ghost lantern phantom moon, everyone in the Shui Wuyue clan except Shui Wuyue Qi and Liuli showed anger on their faces. Sayuri straightened up even more, obviously trying to refute the ghost lantern phantom moon.
But Shui Wuyueqi's face remained unchanged at this time, and she stretched out her hand and gently patted Sayuri on the shoulder, signaling her not to act rashly. Then, calmly bowed to the ghost lantern phantom moon, and said softly, "Please rest assured, Lord Mizukage, the Shui Wuyue clan will not drag the village back." ”
The Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon looked at Shui Wuyueqi, suddenly smiled, and said, "Since the nobles have confidence, Lord Ben is just asking." ”
Shui Wuyueqi owed her body again, expressed her understanding, and then said nothing more.
The ghost lantern Phantom Moon didn't take the cold reception of Shui Wuyueqi seriously, and continued to talk to everyone: "Everyone, the matter of sending troops to the country of the vortex now can be said to be on the bow. This incident can be said to be a very powerful good thing for me Wuyin. However, my application to Hattagawa has not been answered for a long time. What do you think should be done?"
The Hatta River is the seat of the daimyo house, so it is also commonly used to refer to the daimyo of the land of water.
Regarding what the Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon said, everyone present had basically expected it. The fog and the whirlpool clan reached an agreement in private, and only submitted an application to the daimyo after they were ready to send troops, and the attitude they showed did not show any respect for the daimyo. In this case, the daimyo did not reply to reprimand the people of Wuyin, which was already very face-saving, let alone would allow Wuyin's request to send troops.
However, even if he knew that he would offend the Daimyo, this matter was indeed beneficial to the entire Fog Hidden Village. After all, once the Vortex Country, the gateway to the mainland, was opened, the benefits it would bring were enough to benefit the entire village. Therefore, after passing the qi, the bigwigs of the fog still decided to move forward with this matter, even if it would offend the daimyo.
After listening to the words of the ghost lantern Phantom Moon, everyone's eyes shot to Kaguya Kenshin, who was sitting in the middle of the other three directions in the hall, Mizuki Ake, and Akiyama Hidekazu. As the head of the various factions in the village, it can be said that the outcome of today's meeting still depends on the opinions of a few of them.
Shui Wuyue Kai adheres to the principle of "less talk and less mistake", and after listening to Shui Ying's words, he still didn't say a word, quietly waiting for the other people to speak first.
Kaguya Kenshin also put forward his own opinions, and after seeing that Shui Wuyueqi did not speak, he stretched out his arm, and asked Akiyama Xiuhe to invite him, and said in a loud voice: "Xiu and Jun have seen people, so it is better to ask Xiu and Jun to talk about their opinions first." ”
Hidekazu Akiyama, now twenty-five years old, is a burly, good-looking man, and has also served as a guard of the Mizukage for a generation, and is now widely supported by the civilian ninjas in the village. Its reputation, even if Shui Wuyue Qi has lived in the Shui Wuyue clan for a long time, he doesn't care very much about the information in the village, but it is also like thunder.
Akiyama Shukazu's eyes are bright, and the whole person is full of the vigor of a young person, which is in stark contrast to the ghost lantern Phantom Moon, which is getting older. Listening to Kaguya's words, he didn't refuse, but nodded politely and said in a loud voice, "Then you're welcome." ”
The layout of this great hall is such that people sit on all sides, and the middle is vacant, so that it is convenient for people to stand in the middle and give speeches to the people around them.
Hidekazu Akiyama stood up, came to the center of the crowd, bowed to the ghost lantern Phantom Moon, and then said respectfully, "Looking down, the reason why the Daimyo-sama is reluctant to approve our request is because I am afraid that my Misty Ninja will take advantage of this to greatly increase its power and thus threaten the authority of the Daimyo's Mansion. ”
The Hattagawa River and the Fog Hidden Ninja Village can be said to be the two cores of the Water Country, and when one of them is strengthened, the other will definitely be weakened, which is a natural thing. Therefore, what Hidekazu Akiyama said is not a unique insight.
Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon sat on the main seat, and when he heard Akiyama Hidekazu's words, he seemed to be greatly inspired, moved forward, and asked with interest, "Oh, how do you think that Hidekazu-kun should get the daimyo to agree to our request to send troops?"
Listening to the culture of the ghost lantern phantom moon, Akiyama Shuwa smiled, and then, his lips opened, and he spat out a sentence: "In my opinion, if we want the daimyo to agree to our request, the only way to strengthen the relationship between my Fog Hidden Village and the daimyo is to strengthen the relationship between my Fog Hidden Village and the daimyo. I think that if we were close enough, the daimyo would believe that we had no different intentions. ”
Hearing this, many people in the hall had already guessed in their hearts what Akiyama Xiuhe and this so-called "method" were, and they all slowly lowered their heads, and then concentrated on listening to the conversation between Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon and Akiyama Hidekazu.
Shui Wuyue Kai also just listened to Sayuri's speculation about Akiyama Hidekazu's so-called "method", and with his identity, he naturally didn't have to dodge like most people, but looked directly at the ghost lantern Phantom Moon with interest.
Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon's face was already a little gloomy at this time, although the corners of his mouth were still hooked, but there was no trace of a smile, and he asked Akiyama Hidewa in a low voice: "Then according to Xiu and Jun's opinion, how should I strengthen the relationship with the daimyo in Wuyin Village?"
Akiyama Hidekazu looked at the ghost lantern Phantom Moon fearlessly, and said in a firm but respectful voice: "In the middle of this, you can choose a woman from Mizukage-sama's family and marry the daimyo." ”
The tone of the Ghost Lantern Phantom Moon was completely gloomy at this time, and there was an indescribable feminine aura in her voice, and she asked in a cold voice: "Xiuhejun, who do you think is more suitable for this task?"
"Mizukage-sama ......"
Seeing the appearance of the ghost lantern Phantom Moon, a person next to Hidekazu Akiyama's seat hurriedly stood up and shouted "Mizukage-sama", signaling him not to be angry. Then, he hurriedly came to Akiyama Hidekazu's side and said eagerly: "Hidewa-kun, what are you talking nonsense, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Mizukage-sama!"
Akiyama Shuwa said to this person unhurriedly, "Master Yuan, you don't have to worry. Mizukage-sama is a good measure, how can he blame me for thinking about the village. ”
After saying that, Akiyama Hidekazu turned around, met the gaze of the ghost lantern Phantom Moon, and said calmly, "Mizukage-sama, I think that Miss Hanashi is suitable for this important task. ”
