Chapter 30: The Eternal Bird (6)

The Penglai jade branch that Bubi took out was really exactly the same as what Kaguya described, so it was no wonder that he was so confident and full of energy, and his radiant appearance was completely different from the vicissitudes he showed before, probably at this moment, it seemed that he had already won......

"Oh...... Is that what happened? Gently rubbing his fingers against the Penglai jade branch that he had known to be a fake, Kaguya casually responded to the description of his journey experience.

"That's right, I've been drifting on the sea for 200 days, and on the morning of the 200th day, I suddenly saw a mountain in the distance, and I think that's where I've been looking for......" The story continued, but Kaguya's attention had already run to other places, and it was inevitable that you would feel bored when you knew that the story told by the other party was purely made up. Despite being a fairly competent narrator, his story doesn't sound much new to be honest.

"So, Lord Fujiwara, you are already sure that this is the Penglai jade branch that the concubine wants." Kaguya, who couldn't listen to it, finally interrupted, and the other party's triumphant appearance made Kaguya feel even more disgusted...... It's clear that the one he retrieved was just a deliberately forged forgery, wasn't it?

"Exactly!" It's not like waiting for the moment to almost use all his mind to keep the last bit of sanity, the covetousness for Kaguya almost made him go crazy, and now seeing that his long-cherished wish is about to be fulfilled, so unconsciously, the humility and sincerity that he had been pretending to have before have slowly faded a lot, "Then according to our previous agreement......"

"Promise? There's no need to be so anxious about this matter......" Kaguya's answer made Bu Bi's face sink suddenly, and he faintly felt that maybe things were not as smooth sailing as he imagined, "The authenticity of this Euepiphany is only based on your words, but it can't be counted, isn't it~~"

Kaguya covered his mouth with his hand and chuckled, that kind of coquettishness made Bubi lose his mind for a moment, but in an instant, a coldness spread from his head to the soles of his feet, and subconsciously turned his head to see Ye Yu's eyes as if he was looking at a dead man......

It is not better to bet that he has never seen such a look in his life, not the disdain of the noble for the humble, nor the naked killing intent on the battlefield, Ye Yu gave him the feeling of contempt like a god looking down on the foolish people, as if his life and death were in his thoughts.

But when I looked at him again. Ye Yu had already returned to his usual lazy appearance, and the sparkle in his eyes had long since disappeared, if it weren't for the panic in his heart, he would have thought that it was just his illusion just now.

"Then I wonder how Miss Kaguya wants to prove the authenticity of this Penglai jade branch?" Bu waited and calmed down a little and then replied calmly. Originally, he also thought that he had only heard of Penglai Yuzhi Huiye, but now it seems that this is probably not the case.

"Don't be in a hurry to distinguish the real from the fake, before that, there are a few concubines who want to let Mr. Fujiwara see it." As he spoke, Kaguya nodded to Yumeko, who had been standing aside to serve, and the latter suddenly invited six men in from outside, and at first glance he saw that they were not waiting...... These people are obviously the craftsmen they invited to make this Penglai jade branch......

“…… I don't know who these people are? "It's come to this point. Bubi was still holding on and pretending not to know, but when he saw Kaguya's smiling expression, his heart suddenly cooled.

"Mr. Fujiwara really doesn't know them?" Looking at the man's expression as if he had seen a ghost, Kaguya suddenly felt happy, "Then let the concubine introduce it, these six are all the most famous craftsmen in Heiankyo, a year ago, they were ordered to make a rare treasure for a nobleman, they ate and lived with the nobleman for more than 500 days, and finally succeeded, but after that, the nobleman who had promised them everything took the things and left, and the money for the processing of many promises was not paid...... I have to say that what that person did was really excessive~~"

Kaguya's tone was full of sarcasm, and by this time the nobleman in Kaguya's words had no idea what to do, and the whole thing was extremely clear, and the six craftsmen were the best certification. Even if he wanted to, he couldn't do it.

"I want to know how you know about this...... "Bu Biao's heart was full of bitterness, making such a big ugly appearance in front of his daughter made him want to die, compared to this year's efforts in vain, it is more acceptable...... After all, for a nobleman like them, face and reputation are more important than anything else.

"Mr. Fujiwara didn't know that the business of the concubine's family was actually all over the country, and even overseas trade was involved. So when you pretended to go to sea and returned to land, we found out, and then you don't need to say much about the rest of the matter. Kaguya was still respectful on his face, but this kind of respect made him feel even more ashamed, for a person like him to cheat and lie is not worth mentioning at all, but it is another thing entirely.

"So Kaguya-sama actually knew what the despicable person did from the beginning?"

"That's natural, to be honest, the concubine also wants to see your courage. But now it seems that you are only very good at making up stories~~"

"Humph!" Today is not the day that has been humiliated the most than waiting for so long, as he is at the top of the kingdom, he really can't bear such a shame and turns his sleeves away, and as his daughter, Mei Hong is completely ignored at this time......

"Wait for the salary accounts of these craftsmen to be sent to your house, I hope you won't be in arrears this time~~" Kaguya's voice came from afar. made the already already pushed to the limit worse than waiting again.

—————————— Dividing Line ——————————

"Sister...... Why do you have to do that? Thinking about the miserable appearance of her father when he left, Mei Hong couldn't bear it for a while, although she didn't want Kaguya to leave her, but she also didn't want to be hurt by waiting, but now it seems that ...... Both of them are already on the verge of fire.

"Why? Is it wrong for a concubine to do this? Kaguya replied indifferently, and since Bubi left, she had put on a sinister expression, "He tried to deceive the concubine with a fake thing." What if the concubine is not checked? What do you say that you love the concubine deeply, but in the end, it is not for the face of the concubine to do whatever it takes? ”

"But......" Meihong wanted to argue for Bubi, but found that she didn't have anything to say, and she had to admit that the practice of not being equal was really enough...... Of course, Kaguya isn't much better.

"There's nothing, but," seeing that Mei Hong's heart was still a little unhappy when she was waiting for Huiye, "the concubine is tired and wants to rest...... Sister Hong, you better go back, if such a big thing happens, if you are not there, you will inevitably be criticized in the future. ”

"Well, I know......" Mei Hong wanted to say something more, but seeing that Kaguya had no interest in continuing to chat, she had to bite her lower lip and get up to say goodbye, but what she didn't know was that just because she left, she missed countless karma, and the fate of the two entered a new fork in the road......
