Chapter 212: Birds and Spiders
The Great Wall of Heaven is about seven centimeters from the bottom right of the Daimyo's Mansion from the map, and it is one of the transportation hubs in the southeast, with prosperous commerce and many merchants. The lord of the castle is said to have been a merchant in his ancestor, and before the Great Wall of Heaven had yet to appear, the ancestors of the lord took a fancy to this place and established a small village again. As the war faded away, peace came, and commerce recovered, the small village gradually became a small market town. Over the years, it has evolved into a city.
This kind of city was named after the first head of the castle lord's family, Nobuta Tencho, and the Nobuta family, who also changed from a merchant to the lord of the city.
The Nobuta family was very wealthy, and from the beginning of their own trade to the current tax collection, hundreds of years of accumulation of an astonishing fortune. The head of the Shinda family of this generation, Michiya Shinda, is a very interesting person, he does not have the stinky problems of the rich N generation and the official N generation, and likes to make all kinds of friends. He has a shortcoming, that is, he likes to show off his wealth, this kind of flaunting is not the same as showing off his wealth with vanity and comparison, he loves to collect all kinds of precious treasures, and then take them out to his friends to see, enjoy the amazement of his friends.
With his identity and background, such shortcomings cannot be considered shortcomings.
Some time ago, he showed off a very remarkable thing, which is said to be a tea set from the shogunate period, called a bird spider, named after the appearance of a latent bird spider, which was loved by one of the castle lords at the time, Matsumoto Masao. I don't know where the Grand Imperial Palace heard about this tea set, firstly, the Grand Imperial Palace is also a character who likes strange and strange things, and secondly, he also wanted to take the opportunity to test whether Matsumoto Masaoko was truly loyal to him, so he ordered Matsumoto Masaoko to immediately sacrifice the bird spider.
The maker of the bird spider is the last work of the deceased ghost Heizaburo before his death, and Matsumoto Masari also spent a lot of effort to get this treasure, and he is unwilling to give it away like this. So he asked someone to find a tea set that looked like a bird spider and a letter written by him to express his allegiance, and sent it to the mansion of the Great Palace.
After receiving the letter and the bird spider, the Great Imperial Palace immediately smiled and said to the retainers and advisors around him, "Matsumoto Masahiro is worthy of being a loyal minister, and I shouldn't question him." ”
For this reason, the Great Imperial Palace also sent a handwritten letter back to Matsumoto Masaohong, saying that he already knew Matsumoto Masaohong's true intentions, and gave some gold, silver and lacquerware.
Originally, this was supposed to be the end of the matter, which one day soon after the Great Imperial House received some important guests at home, and on a whim he said that he had obtained a treasure called the Bird Spider Tea Set. The guests who came to visit were all children of the family, and some people were very good at it, so they immediately asked the Great Imperial Office to show it and realize what he thought at first sight. The Grand Imperial Palace was very happy to let the birds and spiders be taken out and shown to the guests.
The guest looked left and right, with a strange expression, and the Great Imperial Office asked curiously, could it be that there is something wrong with this bird spider?
The man said very honestly, this is not a bird spider, and it is not a treasure, just an ordinary tea set that has been fired in the past few years.
After sending off the guests in the big palace that had lost face, he immediately flew into a rage, thinking that Matsumoto Masaoko deceived him with a fake because Matsumoto Masaoko had secretly fallen to the emperor's position, and immediately gathered the generals and strategists, and asked the number one general under his command to lead five swordsmen and three thousand ashigaru and three hundred cavalry to defeat the traitor Matsumoto Masao.
And this is also the historical bird and spider rebellion.
Matsumoto Mashiro is killed, and the real bird spider is brought back to the Great Imperial Palace, which smashes the bird spider into eight pieces in front of everyone to show its determination not to forgive.
Later, it is said that these eight pieces were collected by a subordinate of the Great Imperial Palace, and a good mason was found to put the pieces back together. After the repair, the bird spider lost its news, and it is said that it was collected by a large family, and there is no whereabouts so far, only rumors.
But I don't know where this Nobuta Michiya found this thing, and as soon as it was displayed, it caused a sensation, and even the daimyo personally inquired about it. If it weren't for the things that the Great Imperial Palace had done in history, perhaps the Daimyo would have asked Michiya Shinda to dedicate this thing to the past. In any case, this thing is as famous as Michiya Nobuta.
Just a while ago, the bird spider hidden in the vault disappeared, and the ninjas guarding outside the vault did not find any abnormality, so Shinda Michiya Vito Konoha and the underworld and the wandering ninjas together, who can find the bird spider back, reward ten gold bricks!
With such a bonus in the underground world and the wandering ninjas, there were many responders, and Konoha Village also made arrangements.
There are a total of three teams that went to the Great Wall of Heaven this time, one is Asma himself and his class, and the other is the battle team of the middle ninja, and an independent upper ninja. After analysis in the Konoha Village Intelligence and Battle Analysis Room, a conclusion was drawn that the thief must be a ninja, and at least a ninja of the middle ninja level. There are not many people, at most two people, they only steal the bird spider but do not take the other collections in the same secret vault, with a clear tendency, if they are not hired by someone to name the bird spider, or they themselves are very fond of bird spiders.
So this time Konoha sent eight ninjas in one go, whether or not they can recover the bird spider is one thing, the most important thing is to be able to train two combat squads, which is the most important thing.
After having the task, Shengguo and his family said casually, simply packed up their salutes, waved their hands in Qingchuan's envious, jealous and hateful eyes, and left towards the gate of the ninja village with leisurely steps.
Compared with the relative freedom of the Holy Kingdom, at the graduation ceremony, Qingchuan was named as his disciple by the Autumn Dao Dingza under the watchful eye of the people, which aroused the envy of many students and their parents. He also thought that he would do any task like an ordinary team, but he didn't need to do tasks at all, every day was to cultivate, cultivate, and cultivate again!
If it's an ordinary cultivation, he doesn't care about anything, anyway, the purpose of cultivation is to become stronger, but half of the studies given to him by Qiu Dao Ding Zuo are used for food. In the words of Autumn Road Dingza, a manly man, who is thin like this, has no manly strength at all, how can he become a man? Only a man can be considered a man if he is physically rich. Of course, he didn't forget to teach some secret techniques to Qingchuan, the secret techniques of the Qiu Daoist family seem to be related to fat, the more fat there is, the more chakra can be stored at ordinary times, and the stronger the secret technique will be......
(It's not that I'm complaining.,The setting of the Hokage doesn't need people to touch him.,All kinds of conflicts before and after.,It is estimated that when the author drew the back,He almost forgot the plot in front.。 )
Just as Qingchuan was tearfully sending the Holy Kingdom out for a trip, a powerful thug pressed on Qingchuan's shoulder, "It's time to eat!" ”
Shengguo, who had already left his house two streets away, suddenly looked back, and he faintly heard Qingchuan's cry. I'm just leaving Konoha Village to do a mission, and it won't take too long, so there's no need to cry so sadly, right?
He shrugged his shoulders and stood inside the gate across the street, greeting Mina, who had arrived early.
The girl was very shy, answered with a red face, and then stood aside with her head down, so that the Holy Kingdom, who had originally planned to ask her what special talent she had, or what bloodstained boundaries she had, could not speak.
It didn't take long for everyone to arrive, and after simply instructing them to make some necessary preparations for going out to do the task, the group set out on the road.
In an inn in the Great Wall of Heaven, a tall guy with a blue face looked down at the only two plates on the table, one of which contained some cooked vegetables, and the other contained a grilled fish the size of a palm. He tilted his head to look at his companion sitting across from him, his eyes glazed out and his pupils dilated, a dead-faced man, and his hand unconsciously grasped the handle of a large cylinder wrapped in bandages against the edge of the table.
The person on the other side seemed to be aware of something, he glanced up, and was moved by the mouth of the black scarf, "I don't eat, if it's not enough, you can order another bowl of rice, the boss said that the meal doesn't cost money!" ”
"If it weren't for Shizang who couldn't get out, I would never have teamed up with you." , The guy with blue skin jumped out of the corner of his eyes, raised his hands, held the rice bowl in one hand, held the chopsticks in the other, and moved the chopsticks while looking at the pitiful lunch. Occasionally, when picking vegetables, the back of his hand is turned outward, and a ring can be seen on his hand, and the ring has the word "south" on the ring.
The purpose of their coming here this time is that someone has offered a reward of 10 million taels in the underground world, and they will get the bird spider and bring it back intact no matter what.
If it weren't for the fact that Loquat Shizo went to the Land of Water to deal with particularly important matters, this blue-faced guy would never have come here. The guy opposite him can be said to be stingy to the extreme, obviously saying that the expenses incurred because of the task will be counted on the head of the organization, but this guy still picks the door and doesn't even want to spend the money for accommodation.
It stands to reason that the mission is over and can be disbanded, but who knows that guy said that there is another mission nearby, and the team can't be disbanded yet.
It's really damning.
He swore that in the future, even if he didn't have enough manpower, he wouldn't team up with this guy.
A guy who has no ideals, no dreams, and is blinded by money!
Halfway through the meal, the man suddenly said, "We have guests, and if we fight here, we will suffer great losses." Go out to fight, and come back to eat after the fight. ”
"Long-winded!"
Putting down the rice bowl and chopsticks, he casually picked up the huge "mallet" beside him and carried it on his back, shook his shoulders, and walked towards the door.
As soon as one foot stepped out of the gate, he flew over. He just tilted his head slightly, and Kunai flew past his ear.
