Chapter 160: Completion and Request
At four o'clock in the morning, Pegasus woke up punctually, squinted his eyes, moved his body slightly, and approached the mountain castle in the shadow of the woods.
It's easy for a ninja to infiltrate a city that isn't guarded by its own kind.
Ten minutes later, Pegasus was standing in front of a mansion in the city. Because it was the mission employer's mansion, Tenma didn't sneak in rudely, but gently knocked on the door.
Perhaps because this was the most sleepy time of the day, Pegasus waited for a while, but no one came to open the door.
Slightly frowning, if you have been outside the door, if you are seen by Yun Ren or other powerful eyeliner, it will be a trouble after all, so Tenma finally sneaks in.
But for fear of causing a misunderstanding, Tianma did not go directly to find his employer, but walked into the ear room next to the door, looked for some food and medicine, and drank slowly, waiting for dawn.
After half a ring, a slight staggering footstep sounded, and then the door was pushed open, and an old man in his fifties and sixties walked in, "Are you ......?"
Hearing the old man's surprised question, Tenma slowly swallowed the snack in his mouth, poured a sip of wine, and cleared his mouth, "Well, uncle, I'm a ninja from Konoha who came to hand over the task, if the daimyo has already gotten up, I'll take the trouble to report it." ”
Immediately, the boy seemed to think of something, raised his eyebrows, and praised, "Besides, the snacks here are really good." ”
Infected by Tianma's anti-guest-based behavior, the old man was a little confused for a while, "Oh~ Please wait a while, the old man will go to report." ”
Looking at the old man's retreating figure, Tianma shook his head slightly, stuffed the last piece of dim sum on the small table into his mouth, and chewed a few mouthfuls with taste. Even the ear room where ordinary guests are waiting has such delicious dim sum, or ......
After three or four minutes, a few chaotic and hurried footsteps rushed over, fast but still with a certain rhythm, with the most basic etiquette.
The footsteps stopped in front of the door of the earroom, and then there was a rhythmic knock on the door.
"Please come in." Tenma sat up straight, put away the long knife, and his face was serious and serious.
The door was pushed open, and three figures walked in, and standing at the front was a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old man with a steady and warm temperament. "I've been waiting."
Pegasus' eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the other party covertly. The man obviously just got up, his hair was slightly messy, and his clothes were a little untidy, looking a little eager, but his eyes and face were very rigorous and warm, like a spring breeze.
"Where, it would be rude to rush through the door. Your Excellency is Your Highness the Employer, right? Tenma stood up, bowing slightly, but his mind was racing in thought.
"In the next place, may I ask ......" The man glanced at the empty dim sum plate on the small table, and smiled gently, neither dissatisfied, nor disregarded the age of Pegasus, but his attitude was more humble.
I see, what kind of unnecessary trouble, right? I've already prepared dim sum, and if I don't show up, I'll change a few more every day, right? and made such a polite and virtuous corporal gesture, eager and attached.
Although the matter of dim sum is very small, it can show the character of this highness from the subtleties, gentle and gentlemanly, coupled with such a posture, it is not good for people not to have a good impression.
"Since it is His Royal Highness Lizhong, then, I won't say anything superfluous." Tenma interrupted the man with some impoliteness, and pulled a scroll from his backpack. Spread out, his hands quickly formed a few seals, and with a bang, thin white smoke rose from the spell marks engraved on the scroll, and two items appeared.
A long, narrow wooden box, a book of assignments.
Tenma handed the two items to the man, "This is the item that was delivered by the mission, this is the mission completion letter, and I ask His Highness to sign it." ”
The man was slightly stunned, and then he didn't drag the slightest mud and water, took it directly, didn't speak, and happily took the pen and ink placed in the ear room, solemnly signed his name, and handed it to Tianma with both hands.
It's not easy! Tenma secretly praised it, obviously asking for something, but he never said it, but he was so happy that even Tenma couldn't help but feel a little good.
But Tenma doesn't want to get involved in trouble, and takes the mission from the man, and Tenma owes himself again. Although he didn't want to get involved, since the other party expressed such respect and kindness, naturally Tianma didn't want to be too rude, "Since the mission has ended, then I'll leave here." ”
"Please wait," the man waved his hand lightly and smiled gently, "Your Excellency has been all the way here, and if you don't do your best to entertain you, you really won't be able to go." Why don't you take another day off and then return to Konoha? ”
This kind of serious conversation greetings, Tianma really felt a little awkward, but he was also embarrassed to be rude, so he could only reluctantly deal with it, "Thank you Your Highness for your trouble, but I still have a task in my body, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, forgive me." ”
The man's gaze dimmed slightly for a moment, then disappeared into his eyes, smiled warmly again, politely and educated, and signaled to the servants behind him, "Since this is the case, it is not easy to stay in the bottom." Little things, all respects. ”
After taking the things handed by the servant, Tianma found a silver ticket of 10,000 taels, his brows furrowed slightly, he was really generous, and he bowed to the man again, and Tianma walked out of the ear room.
The man didn't say anything, just sent it outside the door, smiling kindly.
Tenma took two steps, sighed, and turned around, "Your Highness, do you have food here?" ”
The man smiled, unassumingly, like a spring breeze.
……
Half an hour later, in a room, Pegasus and the man occupy a low table with some not-so-luxurious but sumptuous food.
Because he was not used to kneeling, Tenma sat cross-legged behind the table with some impoliteness, eating a little rudely to himself. The man didn't care, kneeling gracefully across from him, quietly eating his own food.
It wasn't until the servants brought the tea that Tenma spoke, "Your Highness, is there any trouble, since I didn't leave immediately, it means that I am in charge of this matter." ”
Putting down the teacup, the man knew that Tianma had already seen through it, smiled slightly ashamedly, and was not going around in circles, "Actually, there is a volume of orders left by my father on the lower brother's mansion, and there is a testament to the throne and a secret on it. Only by cooperating with the edict and the saber can you inherit the orthodoxy. But there are ninjas from Cloud Ninja Village in my brother's mansion to guard them at all times...... And ......"
"And, threatening His Highness's life?" Tenma took a sip of the teacup, and said what the man had not finished, just now there were secret sentinels everywhere in the house along the way, and he looked like he was facing a great enemy.
"I am really greedy for life and afraid of death, which makes Your Excellency smile." The man's face was ashamed and sincere.
This guy, Tenma shook his head and stood up, "I understand, I'll leave it to you." ”
"That, Igarashi-kun, why did you suddenly agree to help me...... the man still asked, now that he had seen it, why would he voluntarily step in.
Turning his head slightly, Tenma muttered for a moment, "Probably, because you're a good person, right?" Well~"
With that, the figure of Tenma disappeared into the room, and only the man sat there alone and muttered, "Good guy?" ”
Outside of another mansion in the mountain castle, Tenma hides in the house opposite the mansion, carrying a wine gourd in his hand, and he has a mouthful of it.
How to say that? People respect me a foot, I respect people? Or do I treat people with sincerity, and I treat people with sincerity? The man's sincerity and respect have always been obvious, not coercive, not reluctant, but always respectful, so that Tenma knows that the road may just be deliberately expressed, but still can't help but rise to good feelings and appreciation.
Probably still too young? He laughed self-deprecatingly, this kind of behavior that was not heroic made Tenma feel a little funny, and the person who asked for trouble was always the first to die.
Tenma set his sights on the mansion opposite, and if he didn't have enough information, he could only wait for the night to break in, right?
Judging from the analysis of the dialogue between the two cloud ninja teams yesterday, what is currently known is that there are more than two squads of cloud ninja in the mansion, and one of the leading cloud ninjas is probably at least above the upper ninja level, maybe even more powerful.
"Hey~ I'm really asking for trouble!" Spat unscrupulously, Tenma slowly closed his eyes with the long knife in his hand, and waited for the night to come.
Time passed slowly, Jin Wuxi fell, the jade rabbit floated, and Tianma slowly opened his eyes, because of the rest, bright and bright, flashing with a faint Guan Ze.
Stretching his waist and moving his hands and feet, he once again recalled the distribution of the mansion buildings that had been memorized in his mind, and after confirming it with the map handed over by the man, Tenma picked up the wine gourd on his waist and poured a sip. Putting down the gourd, Tianma's hands quickly formed a few Indian patterns, and in the pale white smoke, a middle-aged man who was slightly half a head taller than Tianma appeared. The cloud ninja on his forehead protects his forehead, and there are some wrinkles and dust on his clothes, which looks very embarrassed.
Looking at the mirror in the house, Tenma nodded with satisfaction, although it was not very similar, but there was also an impression that the appearance and figure of the Nakashinobi were similar.
Taking advantage of the cover of night, Tenma quietly slipped out of the dwelling and sneaked into the mansion in stealthily, his keen five senses instantly activated, collecting all the information.
Following the shadow of the house, Tenma made his way to the study, and according to the information given by the man, the most likely place to store the edict was the study.
Carefully avoiding the passing servants, Tenma sneaked into the study without any problems, but a strange sense of uneasiness made Tenma more cautious. Along the way, I met a cloud ninja, which is really unreasonable, and it's okay to say it elsewhere, but it's impossible for the study and bedroom to be guarded by ninjas, right?
Frowning, Tenma carefully pushed open the window of the study and secretly observed, it was empty, but there was always a faint threat, strange and disobedient.
His brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, Tianma suppressed the weird feeling in his heart, and just flashed in, but before he could stand firmly, he instantly sneered!
Worst!!
