Chapter 372: Kumiko's Calamity
Ambergris is a solid wax-like combustible substance with a gray or black appearance. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info It is actually the secretion of the sperm whale, which is a solid formed by the sperm whale that fails to digest the beak bones of squid and octopus, and binds to the secretions in the intestine. It will eventually be excreted from the sperm whale's body as excrement.
However, ambergris is a rare and precious medicinal material for human beings. It is also the most valuable traditional Chinese medicine in all kinds of animal excrement, which is extremely rare. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that ambergris can "invigorate the blood, benefit the essence, help the yang way, and benefit the blood". In other words, ambergris is a precious Chinese medicine that cures diseases and nourishes strength.
The usefulness of Ishiigawa's desire to buy ambergris from Edward in large quantities naturally goes without saying. Based on Edward's description, Chen Tianci deduced that Ishii Chuan must have been under a lot of pressure, so it caused a situation that some men did not want to have.
"Ishii Chuan has become a sick ghost." As soon as Chen Tianci returned to the Blue Whale, he told Li Mengru the news. Li Mengru was very curious. Chen Tianci then told Li Mengru the news he had learned.
Li Mengru covered her mouth and snickered. "Then give it to him." Li Mengru said, "I just happened to take advantage of this opportunity to keep him in Chiba City." ”
Chen Tianci's eyes lit up and nodded. "That's right. I'm going to find Edward. As he spoke, he hurried out.
After Chen Tianci discussed with Edward, he asked Edward to temporarily run out of ambergris and needed to catch it separately. What they say is actually true.
Although there was still some ambergris on Edward's ship, it was a cargo that someone else had already set up. Chen Tianci thought about it again and again, so he asked Edward to reveal to Ishii River, intentionally or unintentionally, that there was still a small amount of ambergris on the ship, but it had already been booked.
Edward did so. And Ishiigawa's disposal method did not surprise Chen Tianci. Ishii Kawa paid ten times the price to buy the ambergris in Edward's hand.
This gave Chen Tianci a clearer signal: Ishiigawa's illness is not light. Chen Tianci grinned. Take advantage of his illness and ask for his life. This is a great opportunity.
Chen Tianci immediately left the Blue Whale and hurried to Kumiko Kato's tea house. Kumiko Kato wasn't there at first. Chen Tianci waited for a while before she hurried over.
"Chen Jun, why are you here today?" As soon as Kumiko Kato came in, she hurriedly asked.
"Ishii River is sick, you know?" Chen Tianci said.
"He's sick?" Kumiko Kato was slightly stunned, "Impossible." She shook her head and said with certainty, "I saw him not long ago. He looked very energetic, and he didn't look sick at all. ”
Chen Tianci smiled slightly and said, "That's the blessing of ambergris." As he spoke, he quickly recounted Ishiigawa's purchase of ambergris from Edward.
"Ambergris?" Kumiko Kato was slightly stunned, "No wonder." No wonder there was an indescribable scent on his body. It turned out to be this thing. ”
"What? Have you been in contact with him these days? Chen Tianci asked.
Kumiko Kato nodded. "Our Kato family is still nominally a subordinate family of the Ishii family. As the head of the Chiba Castle Kato Tea House, I have to report to the head of the Ishii family in Chiba Castle every month. ”
Chen Tianci has some understanding of the relationship between the Kato family and the Ishii family. Indeed, as Kumiko Kato said, the Kato family needs to pay regular tribute to the Ishii family. In other words, it's a regular report.
He nodded, in understanding.
"He wants to take me as his wife." Kumiko Kato suddenly said an important piece of news.
Chen Tianci raised his eyebrows and said, "Judging from the current situation, if Ishii Chuan really marries you, I'm afraid he will also have more than enough strength to do it." Are you sure you want to marry him? ”
Kumiko Kato shook her head. Her face turned a little crimson. "There's not a single time that old pervert didn't want to do anything to me. Let me marry him, that is absolutely impossible. She said, glancing at Chen Tianci, and continued, "However, I think this is a good opportunity. ”
"How?" Chen Tianci's eyes narrowed slightly. He had already guessed some of Kumiko Kato's intentions. "If I had a wedding with him, he would have been negligent in guarding against me. At that time, it was our best chance to assassinate him. Kumiko Kato's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Chen Tianci raised his eyebrows and glanced at Kumiko Kato. The woman's strategy was similar to what he had thought. This is really not a simple woman.
"It's a good idea. But I'm afraid that in case the line can't be pierced. Then you'll really be his wife. Chen Tianci said half-jokingly.
"Then I'll kill myself." Kumiko Kato said decisively.
Chen Tianci gasped. He saw an extremely determined look in Kumiko Kato's eyes. This woman is no joke. "Rest easy." Chen Tianci hurriedly reassured, "There is always a solution to the matter. Let me think about it, and I think your proposal will be put on hold for now. ”
"But I don't have much time left. He only gave me three days to think about it. Kumiko Kato sighed.
"Three days?" Chen Tianci was stunned, "He has already given you an ultimatum?" ”
Kumiko Kato nodded.
Chen Tianci suddenly realized that something was wrong. With Ishiigawa's identity in the Wa Kingdom, why is it necessary to force a Kato Kumiko so much? He wants to be beautiful, and he will have a lot of beauties in his arms with a random move.
Although Kumiko Kato was born extremely beautiful, it will not make Ishii Kawase lose his mind and lose his mind. That person is a generation of heroes, and he is by no means a hungry ghost who only pays attention to beauty. "There must be something inside to this." Chen Tianci judged.
"It's a little unusual, but I can't think of a reason." Kumiko Kato said distressedly.
"Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he will not retain his status in your country of Japan." Chen Tianci guessed, "In the siege of White Shark Island, he led millions of troops, but he couldn't fight for a long time. In the end, it was a mess. Such a fiasco may cause him to lose many allies at home. Yes, although your Kato family is now a small family, you have a background, and he must want to maintain his status through marriage. ”
Chen Tianci's speculation made Kumiko Kato slightly stunned. She thought about it for a while, and then it dawned on her. "Not bad. Although our family is not large, we still have a wide range of contacts. There are many members of the Diet who are friends of our Kato family. There are also a lot of contacts in the military system. ”
"Yes." Chen Tianci nodded, and suddenly asked, "What I asked you to check, how did you check?" ”
"His whereabouts are hard to trace. I've done my best, but," Kumiko Kato said, after a pause, "he disappeared every time he entered the manor, and neither I nor my men could find his whereabouts." ”
"The Manor?" Chen Tianci's eyes narrowed slightly, "You mean that as soon as he enters the manor, he will suddenly disappear, and then suddenly appear again soon after, right?" ”
Kumiko Kato nodded. "It's kind of interesting." The corners of Chen Tianci's mouth curved slightly and laughed.
