Chapter 111 Gift of the Knife

At this time, Madoka began to carefully look at the clothes of the little guy in front of her.

There is a cloak of unknown texture on the outside, which not only looks very warm, but also seems to be made of special fabric. There is a circle of white fur around the cape, and the pure white fur really wants people to touch it and feel the soft touch. He was wearing a white gown, a set of navy blue culottes, and a pair of round-toed leather shoes with the tips exposed.

It is worth mentioning that on the waist of this little guy, there is actually a knife, and the cloak just covers most of the knife. In general, it should be the little master of a rich family.

As for ninjas?

It's also possible, but Madoka has been working in the ninja path for almost a month, and the ninjas she meets are often a little ...... The feeling of being poor is not the same as this little master.

At Madoka's age, when she was seventeen, eighteen or nineteen, it was actually the most gluttonous and the most delicious. She wanted to refuse to go out to dine with a stranger, but after looking at the height of the Holy Kingdom and guessing his age, maybe a child can't be considered a stranger, right? She thought to herself, making an excuse for her appetite, "I don't know your name yet, guest." ”

"Me?" , Shengguo smiled, "Call me Tamagawa." ”

In the end, Madoka still couldn't refuse the temptation to eat a big meal for free, and she probably felt a little embarrassed, and nodded with a blushing face. She secretly glanced at several principals at the counter, and whispered: "After six o'clock in the evening, our shopping guide will get off work, and you will wait for me at the street corner then?" ”

Shengguo nodded, "That's it." ”

The biggest problem with the two ninja shops in the Daimyo Mansion is that the number of goods distributed is not the same as the amount recovered, which means that someone may have done something in it, and if it wasn't part of the turnover withheld, then it was stealing. Neither the former nor the latter is allowed to happen. You can't just say that you have a stake in Konoha Village in the 100 Ninja Ways, and you can't let these bad behaviors happen.

Once such a thing is not immediately controlled and exposed, and the person who did it is punished, a similar situation will soon appear in the entire ninja path hundred stores in the Fire Country. Don't underestimate the contagion of such people doing such things, once greed is linked to profit, many people will quickly become corrupt, and eventually become a huge net.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early for the evening meeting, the Holy Kingdom decided to go to the mansion of the Minister Sugihisa to visit the third secretary who had a close relationship with Orange Light.

Sugiku's mansion is the second on the left side of the street outside the Daimyo's mansion, and from the outside, it doesn't seem to be too protruding, and it's not even as extensive as the Renarizuki family's mansion in Konoha Village. The entire gate is only about eight meters long, and four vermilion pillars divide the gate into three. There are some copper nails and copper decorations on the door, which looks like a small person wielding a weapon.

Shengguo tidied up his clothes, stepped forward and picked up the knocker and knocked on it, and the door creaked open, revealing half of his face.

The man looked to be in his forties, with a red face and meticulously combed hair. After examining the Holy Kingdom up and down, he lowered his head slightly and asked, "I don't know what the honorable frame is doing when he visits Sugiku's house?" ”

This thing is really not something that can be said casually, even if this porter sees that the person who called the door is just a child, they all use honorifics. He didn't look down on the age of the Holy Kingdom, nor did he underestimate the identity of this seemingly ordinary child, and completely treated him as an adult. If it is those political nouveau riche, I am afraid that the porter who has no education and inheritance has almost said the sentence "get out".

The Holy Kingdom bowed slightly, and did not show arrogance because the porter's status in a family was not high, this is where the confidence and inheritance of the big family lies, no matter what they do, first of all, the etiquette must be impeccable. Of course, it can also be said that this is the boundary between high society and low society that the big family likes to use, but isn't it the most correct behavior to maintain politeness and culture?

"Hello, I'm Ren Wuyue Holy Kingdom, and I'm here to visit the Duke of Sugiku."

The porter was stunned for a moment, and suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, and immediately opened half of the door and greeted him from inside, "It turned out to be the young master of the Holy Kingdom?" In fact, the lord often mentions you, and if he knew that you were visiting, he would be very happy. As he spoke, he invited the Holy Kingdom to enter through this half of the doorway, and at the same time rang the golden bell hanging under the eaves of the door, and rang it three times.

For the other party not to open the main door, the Holy Kingdom did not feel that he was discriminated against or anything like that. The more honorable the family, the more rules there are. For a family with a background like Shang Sanqing, the door of their mansion will only be opened on festivals or some special days, except for the owner and when receiving important guests. Being able to open half of the gate is actually a great deal of face for the Holy Kingdom.

You know, he's just a child, and not letting him go through the side door is already the greatest respect.

The mellow sound of the three golden bells soon spread to the entire mansion, and Sugihishiro, who was half-lying in the study and enjoying his afternoon leisure time, heard these three consecutive sounds, and immediately changed his clothes with the help of the maid, walked to the main hall, and sat on the main seat of the main hall.

Three bells represent the arrival of important guests, six bells represent the arrival of very distinguished guests, and nine bells ...... Maybe the Fire Nation is dead, or the daimyo is dead, and there will be nine long bells.

This bell is actually to give a hint to the director of the house, and it rings three times, and Sugi Shigeru is waiting for each other in the main hall. If it is six, he must go out. Even the clothes and accessories on the body will be reflected differently depending on the number of bells.

When the porter came to the main hall slowly with the Holy Country, the Sugihisao people were already sitting on the main seat, and even the tea had already been brewed.

Holding a cup of tea, he looked at the Holy Kingdom outside the main hall who was untying the long knife at his waist with some surprise, and a lot of smiles suddenly appeared on his face. When the Holy Kingdom left the sword in the hands of the gatekeeper, he beckoned again and again, "Come in, when did you come back?" ”

The Holy Kingdom is still, and a salute arrives on the ground, "I'm very sorry for taking the liberty of visiting." He straightened up before replying: "I only arrived this morning, and my classmates warmly invited me to get together at noon, and I came immediately after a short rest." ”

Sugihisgeru didn't seem to be surprised, he raised his hand and motioned for the Holy Kingdom to sit down on his left side, and crossed his legs very relaxedly, "Actually, I wanted to see you for a long time, but I was worried about your studies, so I didn't let people go to you." Speaking of this, he paused, "I am also very good friends with the guy Orange Light, and I like you very much, I must have told you that guy, if you have time, you might as well come and sit with me, what do you say?" ”

"Yes, I see."

Sugihisao Shigeru pretended to keep a straight face, "Don't be so polite, it's too strange, it's better to be casual." Without waiting for the Holy Kingdom to return to him, he continued: "Some time ago, the Land of Iron came to the Land of Fire, and they didn't have any special products in that place except for swords, so they specially sent a long knife, I think it's good, just this time you brought it back." He clapped his palms, and immediately a maid walked in through the side door with a knife case.

seems to be a few words of conversation, but it makes Shengguo feel that this guy is cautious and careful in his life and work, and he really deserves to be a giant like Shang Sanqing, he really has a set!
