"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is the city lord's written instructions, and we will take the new batch of air guns first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
"Okay."
"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is the city lord's written instructions, and we will take the new batch of power devices first."
"Uh...... Good. ā
"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is the city lord's written instructions, and we will take the new batch of katana and spears first."
"Didn't you just take it in the morning? Now it's coming again. ā
"We're just doing what we're told."
āā¦ā¦ All right. ā
ā¦ā¦
"Your Royal Highness Princess, we will take the new batch of armor first."
"Where's my uncle's paperwork?"
"Let's make up the paperwork next time, we should come back soon."
Yamada's men came to grab the goods again and again, and Shida Ami couldn't figure it out, so she had clearly discussed with her uncle Shida Kento in advance, and her personal guards would give priority to equipping a new batch of weapons, and then go to a nearby post station to transport back a batch of ore needed for production according to the request of the special envoy Chen Wusheng. There are also a few ore veins in the Qingfeng Post where they are located, but they are mainly iron ore, copper ore and other more common ore veins, which do not meet the requirements of the special envoy Chen Wusheng, so after equipping the guard, they will have to make a trip.
But now, after the first batch of air gun tests, Yamada and his men have almost stayed outside the factory, and as soon as a new batch of weapons and equipment comes out, they have to take them away first, and then submit a copy of the instructions given by their uncle.
Once or twice, Shida Ami endured it, thinking that her uncle was just curious, but every time it was like this, even Shida Ami, who had always had a good temper, had a small temper.
"What the hell does my uncle think, doesn't he know that we agreed to two conditions to get the envoy from the mainland to agree to stay for 14 days. It's been three days now, and the team preparing to set off is not equipped at all, knowing that we have to pass through a large area of Kaba entrenchment on the way to the Kumamoto post fortress next door, and if we don't prepare properly, there is a high risk that the whole army will be wiped out. ā
Ami Shida couldn't help but complain to her friend Chiwa Aoi that she was under a lot of pressure right now, and while she was pressed for time, her uncle and Yamada were causing trouble for her, so much so that Ami Shida felt that the two were working against her.
Chiwa Aoi Mei can more or less guess the intentions of the castle lord and Yamada, on the one hand, they have planned to send themselves and Kobayashi Tamoto away in exchange for more benefits; On the other hand, I think that after missing myself and Kobayashi Taben, Her Royal Highness the princess has no talents around her who can be of great use, and Shida Ami alone can't support the personal guard, without Kobayashi Taben, who has the highest force value, and without herself, how far can the princess go? Instead of "wasting" a group of young and vigorous young people, it is better to use it for the "elite" of the post base at the beginning.
Obviously, others righteously refused in person, thinking that they could escape the catastrophe, but their own people still did not give up, thinking that they were the people who spilled the water and married, and began to be wary of themselves. Saddened and disappointed, Chiwa Aoi Mei made her own plan after observing and measuring in the past few days.
[Now it seems that even if the envoy is unwilling to take me as a concubine, Shida Kento will not want to see me stay here, he and Yamada are ugly, and after tasting the sweetness, they will only get worse, once there is enough profit, they will definitely sell me. ć
Chiwa Aoi Mei knows that the current country of Fuso can be called the end of the world, and the indifference between people has reached an extremely high point, and many people will not hesitate to sacrifice others in order to survive, which is completely a picture of cannibalism.
From the bottom of her heart, Chiwa Aoi wants to leave Fuso and go to a peaceful and peaceful world, and she is tired of having to deal with strange ghosts that may break in at any moment, and beware of her compatriots who are secretly infighting, and they often turn a blind eye to the looming disaster. The reason why the castle lord Shida Kento never showed up a few nights ago has explained a lot, this is not the first time and it will not be the last.
People can't help themselves, Chiwa Aoi didn't think about her future at first, she was bent on assisting Ami Shida, and now it seems that this idea is unrealizable.
Wait, why should I limit my thinking? If they don't want us to stay here, why don't I pursue my own happiness? To a place where there are no ghosts? ć
"Sister Aoi, Sister Aoi."
"Huh? What's wrong? ā
Ami Shida puffed out her cheeks and glared at Chiwa Aoi and said, "Are you listening to me?" ā
"I'm sorry, I'm just distracted."
"Sister Aoi, how can you get distracted at such a time? I've been depressed these days, uncle......"
"Okay, okay Ami, I know everything you have to say, I am present every time Yamada sends someone to deliver an official document, I understand your feelings."
"Then what do you say I should do, Uncle and Yamada are getting more and more excessive, how can I let my retainers go on a dangerous mission with me, the road is extremely dangerous, I hope you can survive as much as possible."
At this time, Chiwa Aoimei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she said earnestly, "Yami, there is an old saying in the mainland, kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself, and they may be a little too much to describe your uncle, but there is nothing wrong with one thing, if you continue to indulge Yamada's unbridled blackmail, you will probably leave regret when Wu Shengjun leaves." ā
"Aoimi, what do you mean by that? Don't scare me. Ami Shida was a little natural, but not stupid, she could hear Chiwa Aoimi's words with ulterior motives, and there was a hint of sadness in her tone.
"Hey, I wanted to hide it from you, but now it seems that I can't hide it." Chiwa Aoi Ki slowly said that she had heard the conversation of the castle lord Shida Kento and Yamada in the library pavilion, she was very smart and knew Shida Ami very well, and knew that there was no need to add fuel to the vinegar at this time, it would only be self-defeating and make her suspicious.
Sure enough, after listening to Chiwa Aoimi's narration, Ami Shida's face showed an expression of struggle.
"So you were there that day, I'm sorry that Uncle and Yamada made such an excessive decision."
Ami Shida couldn't help but think of the time when she offered to sacrifice herself, but the other party refused with righteous words, and said: "The rise and fall of the empire and peace have never been maintained by women, and if that day really comes, I will defend her dignity with a bloody blade." ā
On the other hand, on his side, he seems to be sure that the other party will definitely agree, and unceremoniously take away everything he likes.
"They don't know that you relied on your earrings and diary in exchange for the other party's assistance, and they don't know that you promised to take Wu Shengjun to Shengyue Academy as a guide. They will only think that it is a very good deal to exchange so many things for two women, and then they will only get worse. ā
"No, it won't, uncle, they won't." Ami Shida excitedly denied.
"Yes, they will, personal interests are nothing in the face of collective interests, and isn't it always our principle to sacrifice a small number of people to save the majority?"
Ami couldn't say anything when she heard it, although she didn't want to admit it, but what Aoi Mei said was not wrong, she didn't say so in her mouth, in fact, everyone has been doing this, thinking that there is nothing wrong with achieving the goal at the lowest cost. In the past, Ami Shida felt that this practice was cruel, but there was nothing wrong with it, and to this day, she feels the helplessness of the victims.
Chiwa Aoi Mei saw that the time was almost up, and added a fire and said, "Yami, don't you want to see the world outside the wall?" Don't you want to travel without an ironclad car? ā
"I ...... I think. ā
"Then let's follow Wu Shengjun together, leave Fusang Country with him, and see what the outside world is like, okay?"
In the past, Ami Shida would hesitate, timid, and anxious, but now she finds that her heart is unusually calm, and she feels that the answer is obvious.
"Yes, I do."
