Chapter 158: [The Conduct of the Transaction]
Under the spring sun,
On the fertile territory of the Fire Country, a long insect covered in black scales like a winding mountain road was walking along the official road in the direction of Konoha.
Its body is long, and it looks backwards from the position of the snake's head, and it is impossible to see where the snake's tail is.
Take a closer look, it turned out to be carriages loaded with heavy grain and grass, along the official road, under the escort of the Konoha ninjas, slowly entering Konoha Village.
"The head of the Cangtian family."
At the entrance of Konoha Village, Zhuan Koharu and Mito Gate Yanle looked at the young man in Chinese clothes standing from the first carriage, and shouted very politely.
Although the other party is a junior, these nobles pay the most attention to this face.
They escorted the quartermasters all the way to Konoha, and they were absolutely willing.
"The two advisors are polite."
Walking down the wooden stairs that the little servant was fiddling with, Cangtian Sugi raised his hand and saluted back, "Since the three generations of Hokage left the Daimyo Mansion on that day, the Daimyo has ordered the collection of iron and medicinal materials in the country...... and other important military materials. ”
"These are all blacksmith shops and medicine shops all over the Fire Country...... The number of military items such as shuriken, kunai, and military rations and pills that were rushed out of the work is according to what the daimyo and the three generations of adults have agreed on, so you can count them. ”
As he spoke, he motioned for them to look at the convoy behind them, "As for food and medicinal herbs...... These materials will be delivered by others in the future, but it will take some time. ”
"Trouble the mobilization of the Daimyo's Mansion."
Zhuan Xiaochun and Mito Menyan said happily again, "The head of the Cangtian family, I also worked hard for you to personally escort these military quartermasters all the way. ”
"We have set up a banquet in the Chunyu Building in the village to wash the dust for you, and I hope that the head of the Cangtian family will not dislike it."
"Although the Spring Rain House is not a good restaurant in Kyoto City, it is already the best in Konoha."
In the past, their attitude towards the cooperation of the daimyo's mansion has always been relatively casual.
After all, the Daimyo's Mansion donated money, and their ninja village sacrificed their lives to defend the country, and the two were mutually beneficial.
But recently, after seeing the financial restrictions of the Daimyo of the Land of Wind on the Sand Hidden Village, after making a comparison, they are still very satisfied with the generous behavior of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.
"The signboard of the Spring Rain Building is also one of the best in the country, a few years ago, when the daimyo brought His Royal Highness and I to Konoha for the New Year's appointment, I also tasted it, and the taste was quite good, so naturally I would not dislike it."
Cangtian shirt was extremely polite, but his expression was a little regretful, "But I am now entrusted by His Royal Highness Xia Qing to send a pair of heavy armor to the Uchiha, but there is no way to go to the banquet." ”
"Besides, you two still need to count the military cargo here, I'...... Still not bothering much. ”
Heavy armor? Uchiha?
Mito Menyan frowned, just about to say something.
But before he could speak, next to him, Zhuan Xiaochun had already moved away, "Since that's the case, don't disturb the head of the Cangtian family." ”
"I'll be in Konoha for a few days, and if I have some free time, I'll definitely come to an appointment."
Cangtian shirt gestured, and after getting a response from Koharu, he turned around and walked up the wooden stairs and got back into the carriage.
Then, two carriages, one after the other, slowly drove past the two of them, escorted by four ordinary-looking ironclad guards.
The carriage in the back is indented very deeply, and the carriage in front is much shallower.
"Sarufei told me that Sakamoto Natsuharu allowed Uchiha Itachi a heavy armor, which should be the one escorted by the Cangtian shirt."
It wasn't until the carriage drove past that the sound of Koharu's explanation sounded in Mito Menyan's ears, "Two carriages, the front one is Cangtian shirt and his groom and a maid. ”
"The car behind should be equipped with the heavy armor, as well as four wrestlers and a groom in charge of transportation, plus two guards around the carriage."
"There were twelve people in total, and there were no traces of chakra on their bodies."
Mito Menyan nodded, and did not ask again.
The two of them took out a scroll from their bosoms, took out a black pen and waited for the record,
Another person motioned to the horse-drawn carriages waiting at the entrance of the village to enter the carriage one by one, and counted the military supplies in an orderly manner.
On the other side, the two carriages where Cangtian was located only walked around Konoha for only a quarter of an hour before they arrived at the gate of the Uchiha clan's land.
Thinking back to the beginning, when he and His Royal Highness Yusheng came to this Konoha for the New Year, they wanted to see this Uchiha clan land, but it took nearly an hour to enter Konoha from the periphery of Konoha along the commercial street into the inner enclosure, and from the inner enclosure to the core area close to the Hokage Building, so as to get their wish.
"Alas...... It's a pity. ”
Although Cangtian said that it was a pity, there was an unconcealable joy on his face.
If the Uchiha hadn't been in trouble, how could he trade with them with such a treasure.
As His Royal Highness Yusheng's most trusted courtier, and as the entrusted transporter appointed by His Royal Highness Xia Qing, he was very aware of the importance of what he had to do this time.
That's cultivation!
Can ordinary people have power without refining Chakra's talent?
Thinking of this, Cangtian couldn't wait to jump off the carriage, and couldn't wait for the groom to carry the wooden stairs out.
As soon as he landed, the first time he swept his gaze towards the Uchiha clan land, he saw several people who were already waiting at the gate of the clan land.
"Itachi...... No, no, no, I should call you the Uchiha Patriarch. ”
With an unconcealable smile on his face, Cangtian took a few steps forward, "On the way to transport, I heard that the merchants talked about the Konoha Uchiha clan that an eight-year-old boy was the patriarch, and before I could listen carefully, I knew in my heart that it must be you." ”
"I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are already the head of the Cangtian family."
Itachi Ta took a step forward, and it was also very polite.
Cangtian shirt, when he met Sakamoto Yusheng a few years ago, he had a relationship.
Later, however, when I went to Kyoto Castle, I didn't have the opportunity to meet this person.
Unexpectedly, he also sat in the seat of the family.
Talking about this, Cangtian shirt showed bitterness, "Cangtian's family is single-lineage, and my father saw that I was over twenty years old, and I still had nothing to do all day, so he directly threw the stall at home to me, but he walked the dog and teased the birds every day, so unhappy." ”
Speaking of this, he paused again, looked at Uchiha Fugaku behind Itachi, and politely took the junior salute, "Uncle." ”
Uchiha Fugaku nodded in return, but didn't say much.
Now that the clan is already in charge, although he occasionally makes a point or helps dispatch the clansmen, he rarely intervenes directly.
"Please."
Itachi didn't say hello at the gate of the clan land, and raised his arm to signal Cangtian shirt and others to enter the clan land.
Cangtian Shirt's words seem to be extremely disgusted with the position of the head of the family.
But what I think in my heart, others don't know.
And Cangtian did not step back into the carriage this time, but walked side by side with Itachi towards the clan land.
"Patriarch Itachi, according to the requirements you mentioned to His Royal Highness Xia Qing at the beginning, the four soldiers defending the city all have samurai skills, and the wrestlers in the carriage behind are all born with different strength from ordinary people."
As soon as he walked into the clan land, Cangtian Shirt couldn't wait to whisper, "There are eight people in total, all of whom are people with good hearts and wills, strong physique and tenacity. ”
"Next, they will all obey your orders, even if you ask them to pick up the blade and cut their own necks, they will not hesitate to obey the order."
"If this group of people can't do it, there will be the next group of people in a while, but ......"
His tone was a little lower at this point, "If the two groups of people can't meet the requirements of the Itachi Patriarch and can't get the power beyond ordinary people, then we won't be able to carry this deal forward." ”
