Chapter 039. The final betrayal
The smell of stewed chicken in the room was very tempting, but no one cared about it now.
The face of the wild girl on the side of the road was calm, although she didn't look at the crockpot with the chicken in her hand, she just said in a light tone: "Now I need to explain, who can tell me what happened?"
His face seemed calm, but no matter how he looked at it, he knew that he was suppressing his anger.
No one dared to do anything more at this time.
Momotaro, who had already made a mistake and was still performing extremely poorly, understood his position better at this time, and knelt next to him with a very sneering face, and his round body was full of traces of fat on his clothes.
Captain Ashigaru and Old Orion also knelt on the side, bowing their heads and silently not daring to make a sound.
"Huh?"
The wild girl on the side of the road snorted coldly: "What do you mean by not talking?"
He did suppress his anger.
Very simple.
Momotaro made him extremely disappointed, and the trust in his heart was completely wiped out.
Originally, in Nansa Castle, most of the servants who served in between were the servants of the roadside family, and they were not loyal to him alone, and those servants who came to serve were also respectful and disrespectful, and just acted according to their faces.
Only this guy came from a poor background, and he still stayed with his own hands.
Although there are a lot of minor problems.
On weekdays, I am lazy and like to come to Hulai, but I am always my own person.
Coming here, the roadside wild girl has already planned to train him to be a cronie who manages the village town, and even let him be directly responsible for the caravan in the future, so it can be said that the worldly things are going to be handed over to Momotaro.
The wild girl on the side of the road is only responsible for the construction of Ninja Village and external reconnaissance, taking the dual-core development path.
didn't expect his hard work to be ridiculous.
Right now?
It seems to be a drain!
The wild girl on the side of the road didn't have a seizure on the spot, and she was already sufficient.
In the main house of the village town, the psychological literacy of the captain of the ashigaru and the old hunter is obviously not up to par, the face with the head bowed is extremely frightened, the forehead and back are covered with cold sweat, and the hands of the kneeling are trembling.
At this time, the two felt that their whole bodies were weak, and they fell to their knees directly.
"Ask the young master for forgiveness!"
"Ask for forgiveness!"
The two of them knelt on their knees on the spot, touching the cold ground with their foreheads with extremely guilty looks, and expressed their mistakes in front of the wild girls on the side of the road with the most respectful appearance, including the plea for forgiveness.
It's just that their appearance makes Momotaro, who is still dazed next to him, more and more conspicuous.
It's as if it's really an innocent victim.
Of course.
According to the saying, he is.
The wild girl on the side of the road groaned, and then looked up at him: "You said you met a youkai?"
Momotaro's fat face hurriedly showed a contrived panic: "That's right! Wild girl-sama! It's a youkai indeed!" He trembled and stretched out his hand to the east: "Man-eating monsters!" Eat them all!"
Without waiting for the wild girl on the side of the road to ask, he knelt down and cried: "I knew that the Eight Fan Mountain was really dangerous, so I wanted to return to Nansa Castle to find the samurai to come and help, but who would have thought that when we slept in an abandoned village town at night, there were terrible monsters, those coachmen and horses were eaten by the monsters, only I went to the toilet in the corner, but I didn't expect to escape, so I hurried back to inform everyone of the news!"
His cry was extremely hoarse, and his voice howled as if he was violently sad, but in the tears on his face, his hands were still quietly showing gaps and observing the expression of the wild girl on the side of the road was a little wrong.
The expression of the wild girl on the side of the road is indeed wrong, and her eyes are full of emotion and complexity.
sighed slightly.
He sat down on a low stool and asked, "Do you take me for a fool?"
The system has warned about this matter since the time of the ninja village.,At that time, all I thought was that there was a traitor hidden in the village town.,Maybe Momotaro this guy is really greedy for life and afraid of death and meets a monster.,Survived by luck.。
But now look at how many truths these people have said in their mouths, and they are really two words!
In particular, Momotaro's performance is comparable to that of a traffic niche.
Very contrived!
Maybe it was because the wild girl on the side of the road came back too quickly, so he wasn't fully prepared.
So much so that when they met, they were eating stewed chicken, and they didn't have the panic and anxiety of meeting the monsters before, and the joy of escaping, and the tail of the conspiracy was completely revealed on the first impression.
You don't have to think about it, just think about it, who can't be suspicious?
The fingers of the wild girl on the side of the road tapped on the tabletop.
He was a little tired.
It feels bad to be deceived by cronies and others, or even betrayed!
Regarding the stunned and surprised look on Momotaro's fat face, his tone tended to be indifferent: "Do you think that I haven't had much contact with the outside world in Nanzuo City, and you think I'm easy to deceive?"
At the same time, he turned his head to look at Captain Ashigaru and the old Orion: "And you also want to bully the master?"
This is a very harsh statement.
Bully.
That's the word that can make people unrecoverable.
In Japanese social customs, the requirements for the word 'loyalty' are extremely harsh, almost stupid, and in line with the concept of family and family, as well as the false name of honor and fame, there are more corresponding special rules.
Including daily etiquette, including interpersonal interactions, including the determination of the relationship between superiors and subordinates.
Even death.
For example, seppuku self-cutting also has the meaning of a dead mind.
The wild girl on the side of the road doesn't have much of a cold for the foolish loyalty of the feudal era.,But it's absolutely unbearable for this kind of behavior of the bully.,It's not about ideas.,But any behavior of the bully to the end...
They all take their place, or turn their masters into puppets, they are the real masters in secret!
Who wants to be manipulated?
Right now.
Come to the Eight Fan Mountains, which are almost isolated from the country of Chino.
His cronie Momotaro, together with the real power figures of the local village town, Captain Ashigaru and the old Orion, can easily completely elevate him to a clean place, even if his life is not in danger, he is just a puppet who does nothing in the end!
If there is no system, there is no ninja village, there is no crossing, and he has not received a samurai education.
Isn't it a puppet being manipulated now?
"Smack-"
The palm of the wild girl on the side of the road slapped the table.
He didn't use his strange powers, he didn't use chakra, he just used his strength to make a startling noise in the room, and his tone became equally heavy: "I'm really disappointed that you want to overwhelm me. ”
These words were equivalent to lifting the table directly, and there was a sudden silence in the main house of the village town.
Captain Ashigaru and Old Orion fell to their knees and shivered.
The conspiracy was uncovered.
Where do they dare to refute it?
If this word spreads to Nanzuo City, it is estimated that they will not even want their heads!
After the conspiracy was exposed, how could they still kneel in place, pretending that nothing had happened, you must know that the two of them are completely confused now, trembling and not knowing how to plead guilty.
Yes, they do have their own little ideas, but they definitely don't end up in this way.
"Has it been discovered?"
But Momotaro slowly got up at this time: "It seems that I am really careless..."
The fat body stood up on the ground, and the tears on his face were still on his face, but they were wiped away casually by him as if he didn't care at all, and his fat face had a sinister look that he had never had before: "I also underestimate you, wild girl!"
I don't know when, there was an extra handful of ribs in his fat hand, and he pulled out the scabbard directly in the palm of his hand, and the cold light shimmered: "Hey! How long do you two want to kneel?" With a hideous look on his fat face, he looked at the captain of the ashigaru and the old hunter who were kneeling next to him and still trembling: "Don't think that your collusion with Yamashin has not been exposed, just in the brothel in the castle town, my godfather told me everything clearly, if you don't want to let Nansa Castle know about it, follow me to kill him now!"
Momotaro said viciously, and even the ribs in his hand pointed directly at the wild girl on the side of the road who was still sitting on the low stool: "Just like we discussed last night, kill him and put all the responsibility on the monster in the mountain!"
After saying this, the faces of the captain of Ashigaru and the old Orion, who were still kneeling on the ground, showed a tangled look, and even their whole bodies were trembling, obviously not expecting the current situation at all.
To be precise, the worst they discussed last night was now.
If the conspiracy is exposed.
Then kill the wild girl on the side of the road directly, and then blame it on the monster in the mountain.
After all, there is danger near Bafan Mountain, and monsters are endless, and when they encounter the attacks of monsters and monsters, they die in the mountains, and even the corpses are dragged away and devoured, this excuse is simply seamless.
Even if Nanzuo City investigates, there will not be the slightest flaw, as long as they have a unified voice!
To know.
The one who insists on going up the mountain is the wild girl on the side of the road, how can they stop it?
The one who met the monster was also his confidant Momotaro, who went to investigate and had an accident, and it was this ashigaru captain and this old Orion who handled it, as long as the whole incident was unified, how could the case be overturned?
When the time comes, just bury the corpse, and the entire barren Bafan Mountain surrounding, who can know that it is murder?
Even if you want to investigate in detail.
Monster killing.
Nanzuo Cheng still dares to go to Quelin Mountain to question?
The double anti-dumping war was waged 16 years ago, and it was a blood feud in itself, even if the roadside family really sent someone to investigate this matter, would the monsters in the mountain be humble and soft and let them investigate clearly?
Yokai themselves are insidious and cunning, but they are not without dignity.
The most critical.
Wouldn't the youkai be suspicious...
Is this a signal that Chino Country intends to test them and want to continue the war?
The most unfavored sister-in-law of the roadside family, chose a fief located in Bafan Mountain, and just took office and wanted to go to the mountains to see how the situation was, and then met a monster who died in the mountains or near Bafan Mountain, what a coincidence?
Who would think in their hearts that these are true, and there is no lie?
Those youkai aren't stupid!
Albeit...
These are indeed true.
The wild girl on the side of the road understood this when she thought about it, and couldn't help but shake her head: "I only thought that you wanted to put me in the air, but I didn't expect that now you want to kill me directly..."
