Chapter 286: Tearing the Skin
"Conan, you're here, we haven't met again since the last time Sarutobi nominated you to be the Hokage and you came to visit once, right? Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Conan surprisingly didn't see a trace of anger on the face of the Daimyo.,This is completely different from the situation that Conan envisioned.,Isn't it that the Daimyo's personality has always been very irritable.,How can I not see it this time.。
Conan saluted again and said quietly, "I actually came here to ask for your support this time. ”
Then Conan talked about the situation between the major powers: "To sum up, war is inevitable now, and we can still gain a lot of benefits by participating in the war now, but once we passively participate in the war, we may fall into the disadvantageous situation of being besieged, so I hope to get your full support." ”
After listening to what Conan said, the daimyo narrowed his eyes slightly: "I heard that you Konoha made a lot of money from the previous trade, I really didn't expect it, originally I thought that we got so many resources after the last negotiation with the sand ninja that we got the biggest benefit, but I didn't expect that Konoha would arrive far more than us." ”
As if he didn't hear the smell of gunpowder in the famous words, Conan explained lightly: "In fact, we didn't expect that we would be able to get such a big profit, after all, this is actually the previous thing that Konoha did to get commissions through escorts, but I didn't expect this route to be so popular now, so our income has increased greatly." ”
Conan cleverly changed the concept and replaced the collection of customs duties with the collection of mercenary money, and for a while the daimyo could not tell the difference.
Hearing what Conan said seemed to make sense, the daimyo's face looked a little better.
Then the daimyo asked another question: "How do you explain what happened last time in the country of rivers?" ”
"In fact, things in the country of rivers are very complicated." Conan summed up the language, and it was time to test my acting skills again.
"The local aristocrats were greedy, always harassing and smuggling from time to time with the idea of taking a piece of the trade route between our two countries, and we had to take such actions as a last resort in order to protect our interests, and we could not give the real reason afterwards, only such a reason."
"Is that so?" The daimyo snorted coldly. Noncommittal to Conan's words.
Although Conan's words did not attack the nobles because of commoners, he was slightly more comfortable, but it was a fact that Konoha disobeyed his orders and interfered with his rights, and this was not a reason for him to forgive Konoha.
Seeing that the daimyo stopped talking, Conan once again explained the situation in front of him, but the daimyo shook his head as if he hadn't listened.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, in fact, I really don't have any energy to spare now, you also know that your Konoha previous two big battles against Sha Ren and Yun Ren have consumed a lot of our materials, not to mention that the war has caused us to reduce production seriously, and we really don't have that ability."
Conan understood that this was the daimyo's excuse, but Conan couldn't refute it for a while.
The daimyo has another idea in his heart at the moment, even if he wins, it may not be of any benefit to him, and on the contrary, if Konoha is declared by the two countries at the same time and continues to consume, maybe Konoha will have nothing to threaten his strength, and when the time comes, he is trying to find a way to limit it, so he doesn't have to worry about being manipulated by Konoha.
Until now, the daimyo didn't think that Conan was planning to abolish the daimyo completely, but he was worried that he would be manipulated by Konoha and become a puppet.
Before Conan could continue to speak, the Daimyo interrupted Conan.
"Before we talk about that, let's talk about another thing."
"Huh?" Looking at the smile on the daimyo's face, Conan suddenly became puzzled.
"Conan, you're not married yet, are you?"
"Not yet."
Conan vaguely understood the meaning of the daimyo's words, and hurriedly continued: "But..."
Without waiting for Conan to finish speaking, the daimyo interrupted Conan again.
"That's good, I now have a little daughter who happens to be about the same age as you, you can see how it is, don't worry, it's definitely a beauty."
"Daimyo-sama, although I am not married yet, I now have someone I like, and I really appreciate your kindness."
The daimyo continued to smile: "This is not a problem, if you really want to, I can give you a marriage, not to mention marrying two at the same time, even if you marry a few more, it is no problem, as long as I let my daughter be a wife, I will definitely give her a lot of dowry when the time comes." ”
Immediately Conan heard the naked meaning of the daimyo's words, as long as you marry my daughter, I will support you, it's that simple.
Without waiting for Conan to say anything, the daimyo clapped his palms: "Juhime, come out." ”
With the call of the daimyo, a beautiful girl appeared in front of Conan's eyes, the girl in front of him looked smaller than Conan, looking petite and delicate, but also mixed with a kind of aristocratic temperament and the girl's unique charm, so that Conan was stunned for a moment.
Seems to be very satisfied with Conan's performance.
"Well, Conan, my daughter is worthy of you, Kikuhime, why don't you say hello to our new Hokage."
It seemed that the princess also understood her fate, and her eyes were full of shyness and a slight curiosity and satisfaction when she looked at Conan.
"Hello Conan-sama."
Even the voice is clearly specially trained to be unhurried and just right.
After being stunned for a moment again, Conan shook his head violently: "I'm sorry, Daimyo-sama, I really can't accept your kindness, I already have someone I like." ”
Although Conan understands that maybe agreeing to it at this moment is the best result, even if it is not impossible to regret the marriage, but Conan really can't do such a thing, and even if he really marries, don't say that he and Hinata can't get through that level, just say that he will still abolish or even kill her father in the future, the two have long been destined to be lifelong enemies.
No matter how much the daimyo tried to persuade him, Conan still wouldn't agree.
Seeing Conan's repeated refusal, the girl's face finally couldn't hold back, her eyes were filled with mist, and she ran away crying.
And the daimyo finally couldn't maintain the smile on his face, and yelled at Conan angrily: "Since you have to insist so much, there is nothing to talk about, please go back, you are not welcome here." ”
Saying that, the daimyo also turned around and left.
Conan had no choice but to say lightly: "Please think twice, if you don't make a choice as soon as possible, maybe the ninjas of Iwa Ninja Village will come to assassinate you." ”
Hearing Conan's words, the daimyo suddenly stood stiffly in place.
After a moment, the daimyo stared at Conan angrily, "How dare you... How dare you..."
Conan, who was angry with the Daimyo, seemed to turn a blind eye, and continued to insist, "Please think twice about the Daimyo." ”
Walking out of the Daimyo's Mansion Conan shook his head helplessly, it's still a little early to tear his face with the Daimyo, maybe it will bring some small trouble, but this is also something that can't be helped.
The current situation is so tense, he doesn't have the spare time to accompany him to slowly argue, rather than pulling around to get a trace of insignificant support, it is better to be decisive.
Although it may be a little troublesome, but it doesn't affect the big plan, the current daimyo basically has no strength, and the so-called new guardian twelve warriors are either just a number, or Konoha himself, even if there were a few loyal ones before, he was quietly solved by himself, so it can be said that his life and death are no longer up to him.
As long as this war is over, he can really start to deal with him. (To be continued.) )
