Chapter 280: Selling allies is a tradition of the nobility
"What to do? Konoha has already found out about poisoning! ”
"You idiots! I said at the beginning that poisoning this kind of thing won't cause much damage to Konoha but will anger them! ”
"Yuan Jiujun, didn't you promise us that this virus can hit Konoha hard?"
"I also listened to people from other companies."
"You idiot! Kill us all! ”
"I think, just give this idiot to Konoha!"
"No... You can't do that! ”
In the secret room underground, thirteen nobles from seven different families sat on their knees, arguing and accusing.
"Enough! Don't make any noise! At this time, infighting will only make us die faster! ”
A middle-aged nobleman sitting on the throne with great authority temporarily calmed down the quarrel.
"Hyun-sama, what should we do now?" Motohisa Nakano, who provided the virus, was the most uneasy of all.
"Motojiu, why didn't that virus spread in Konoha as you described?" The middle-aged nobleman, known as Xian-sama, looked at the young Nakano Motohisa and asked solemnly.
"That's... Perhaps it was the physique of those ninjas that far beyond ordinary people that they resisted the invasion of the virus. Motohisa Nakano explained with a slight stammer.
Standing up and walking in front of Motohisa Nakano, Shon-sama slapped him hard.
Motohisa Nakano, who rolled over on his side and fell to the ground, covering his right cheek, didn't dare to defend himself, but just sat down again and lowered his head in shame.
"The system of ninjas is different from ordinary people, do you only know it now? You know that because of your problem, we are all in a situation where we are all killed at any time! You're trying to kill us all! In a hurry, Xian-sama sat back on the throne, his bloodshot eyes glaring at Nakano Motohisa viciously.
"Hyun-sama, there's no point in pursuing this fool's question now. Let's think about how to get out of this incident! The man who persuaded him was called Yama Takaken, who objected to the plan in the early stages, but unfortunately no one listened.
"O Xian! I regret that I didn't listen to your advice and let things get to this point. What's your best approach now? In the eyes of Hyun-sama, Yama Takashien, who raised objections at the beginning, suddenly became a wise man with foresight.
With a helpless expression, after pondering for a while, Shan Longxian said: "This kind of thing, Konoha will not give up easily!" Let's not try to make peace with Konoha either. ”
Speaking of which, Shan Takashi deliberately looked at several nobles.
"There is only one way to do this! Do your best to erase the traces of our involvement, and at the same time throw out enough scapegoats to satisfy Konoha. “
Speaking of the weighty scapegoat, many of the nobles present instinctively looked at Nakano Motohisa, whose right face was swollen.
Being looked at by so many eyes, Nakano Motohisa was extremely frightened, and said in a panic: "Everyone! Please, don't give up on me! I don't want to die! ”
As he spoke, Nakano Motohisa's tears and snot flowed out.
Seeing Nakano Motohisa, who had lost his aristocratic demeanor like this, a trace of disgust flashed in Xian-sama's eyes.
"With the people below, is that okay?" At least here, Hyun-sama can't directly say who he wants to sell.
Otherwise, the nobles attending the meeting will definitely retreat in the future.
Hearing Xian-sama's words, Nakano Motohisa, who wept bitterly, raised his head and looked over with a grateful face, his face full of flattery.
"It's just a businessman, Konoha won't be satisfied." With a sigh, Yama Takashi said.
"What about the little nobles below?" Hyun-sama continued to ask.
After hesitating for a moment, Shan Longxian said, "Maybe you can give it a try." ”
"Then please! In addition to the main family of the family here, the other sub-families and affiliated nobles are all arranged by you. "At the moment of life and death, this virtuous man who is also in a high position in the center can sacrifice everything that can be sacrificed.
"All I can say is, do your best." Shan Takashi didn't dare to pack the ticket.
"Enough, this time the disaster is too big, and it will be difficult for you." Xianda, who is proficient in the way of royal people, knows that at such a time, he can't put too much pressure on his subordinates.
"I'll do my best." Yama Takashi once again expressed his attitude.
Nodding with satisfaction, Lord Xian looked around at the expressions of the other nobles and began to say, "Everyone, I have already punished Yuanjiujun, and after you, you can't hold him responsible." ”
"Yes!" Voices sounded one after another, and these nobles agreed on the surface, but what they thought in their hearts was unknown for the time being.
"Alright, let's go in turn!" After the meeting is about to be dismissed, Lord Hyun and Yama Takashi will have a good chat in private.
At the end of the meeting, the nobles who participated in the meeting were very cautiously divided into several groups of people, and every seven or eight minutes, they went out.
Leaving the chamber and coming to the temple on the ground, these nobles did not speak, and left through the different doors of the temple under the protection of their respective guards.
What the departing nobles didn't know was that when they left the temple, there were root ninjas in disguise in the temple and in the woods outside the temple, trailing them away.
"Ken, if you throw out Nakano Motohisa and the family behind him, are you sure to end this matter?"
In the secret room, only Hyun-sama and Yama Takaxian, who presided over the meeting, were left.
"If you can add some minor nobles, it should be possible." Being cautious, Shan Longxian still didn't say anything.
Knowing the young man's character, Hyun-sama nodded and said in a deep voice, "Then do it!" I'm sure you can do it well. ”
"Yes, I see!" Shan Longxian bowed his head and replied.
"Alas! Xian, don't blame me for being ruthless, I'm also helpless. If we can't get Konoha to stop searching, we won't be able to hide for long. At that time, it will not be the Nakano clan who will die, but all of us. ”
Worried that his ruthlessness would be feared by Yama Takaxian, this virtuous man made a distressed expression, as if he was extremely helpless.
"S.A.K., I understand your painstaking efforts! It's all for the sake of the great cause. Shan Longxian said excitedly.
With a relieved expression, Hyun-sama said, "It's great that you can understand! ”
"This is my warrant, you take it, and everyone will obey your arrangement." Taking out a small gold medal from his inner pocket, Hyun-sama solemnly handed it to Yama Takaxian.
"I'm all up to you."
Moved to take the warrant with both hands, Shan Longxian replied: "Yes! ”
After handing over the warrant to Yama Takaxian, Hyun-sama, who had a lot of things, did not stay in the secret room for long, and after a few more words, he immediately went to the secret room.
After Xian-sama left, Yama Takashi sat down relaxed, playing with the warrant in his hand with his right hand, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, revealing a hint of a smile.
After a while, the door to the secret room was opened, and a root ninja from the mountain clan walked in.
"You're doing a great job!" Looking at Yama Takaxian, the upper ninja of the Yamanaka clan, praised with a smile.
Standing up from his position, Yama Takaken walked in front of the Konoha ninja and handed over the warrant in his hand, "My lord, this is the warrant of Chancellor of the Exchequer Yasuyama Ken." ”
"Not bad!" Complimenting again, Yamanaka Kamishinobu took the warrant, "According to our agreement, you and your family will become a member of Konoha, and you can act as an agent for all the business of Konoha." ”
A hint of excitement flashed on his face, and Shan Longxian knew that he and his family were finally safe for most of the time in this great change. If nothing else, the family will lose its nobility and privileges, as well as land, but it will still retain the wealth of several generations.
That's enough!
"Thank you for your attention!" Shan Takashi said gratefully.
"It's all your deserved feat. We Konoha don't look at our background, everything depends on merit and ability to speak, you work hard! In the future, you may become the Chancellor of the Exchequer of Konoha. Yamanaka said half-jokingly.
"Don't dare to hope!" Yama replied modestly.
