The five noble lords each carried a brocade box, and then headed towards the depths of the bamboo forest with their retainers. Although a few of them complained about not getting the treasure in the oxcart, now everyone's faces were full of confidence.
, holding the brocade box in his arms, as if there were treasures inside. Lin Zheng knew that ninety-nine percent of these guys were fakes, and I really wanted to know what kind of lies they would make up later.
After finishing the watermelon, Lin Zheng threw away the watermelon rind and quickly followed. The uncle with the girl walked at the back. As soon as Lin Zheng followed, he heard the girl whisper: "Father, why are you so persistent?"
?Even if Princess Kaguya is the most beautiful woman in the world, she is just a woman. Is it worth spending a lot of family wealth just to get that woman?"
After hearing this, Lin Zheng realized that this girl was the uncle's daughter. However, this was still nonsense. Did you bring a daughter here to show your charm as a mature man? Lin Zheng felt that it would probably be directly used as an excuse for rejection.
It's no use even if you find the treasure!
The uncle patted his daughter's head with a doting look on his face and whispered: "Father did this for a reason. I can tell you that it is very worth it. As long as you marry Princess Kaguya, you will become the most noble person in the world."
Girls!”
The daughter looked at her father with a puzzled expression. What does marrying Kaguya have to do with her? The father stopped explaining and just smiled at his daughter with a mysterious face. This made his daughter very confused. In the end, what happened to Kaguya?
Is there any secret that she doesn't know?
Not only was his daughter curious, but Lin Zheng was also quite curious. According to the story he knew, although Kaguya was a celestial princess who was demoted to the mortal world, she didn't seem to have any strange abilities that would make the person who married her develop. Also,
According to the description of The Tale of Bamboo, the five suitors do not know the identity of Princess Kaguya, but obviously the uncle already knows something. It seems that this story has changed a lot in the game!
Lin Zheng pondered for a while, and then explored the middle-aged uncle. Fujiwara Buwai, oh - Prince Chamochi, I remember that he was called to find Horai Yuzhi. Later he said he was insulted and fled into the mountains, saying "
"Probably dead", in short, there is no good result. The original story did not describe Fujiwara's daughter, so Lin Zheng was also a little curious about the daughter that Fujiwara loved. This girl wore Fuso's gorgeous twelve singles and had long black hair.
Her hair is draped down to her waist, and her face looks very small in the classic hair style. She is a very beautiful beauty, her name is Fujiwara Meiko, level 10? Damn it, the strength of a novice, this is such a skill
Without the strength to restrain a chicken, Lin Zheng only needs to reach out and shoot her to attack, and he can instantly kill her. Hey! Didn't you, a father, think poorly of bringing such a delicate daughter to you, Fujiwara!?
After walking for more than ten minutes, a classical wooden house was already vaguely visible. Along the way, everyone was silent. The five suitors were competitors and had nothing to say. Although there were retainers following them, the gap in status was clear.
There, the head of the family would not lower himself to talk nonsense with the retainers, that would be too cheap! In short, the ten minutes walk was quite boring. But when they saw the wooden house in the bamboo forest, everyone mentioned it
The spirit has finally arrived. Whether you can win the beauty back depends on your performance today.
Everyone quickened their pace, and soon they came to the fence of the wooden house. They seemed to have known about the arrival of these people. The door of the wooden house opened with a "squeak", and a man with white hair came out——
Royal Sister?! Eh?! Lin Zheng was suddenly surprised. How could he be a Royal Sister? Shouldn't he be an old man?
The royal sister with a braided braid came out of the house. Looking at the noble lord and their retainers, she seemed to have a headache. She said, "My princess hasn't gotten up yet and can't greet her, but I don't know how many nobles there are."
What's the matter?"
"Lord Eirin, why do you ask questions knowingly?" A nobleman said with a polite smile, "We all come because we admire Princess Kaguya. The princess has not agreed to our proposal many times. Finally, the princess gave us a chance last time.
, as long as one of us finds the treasure she wants, we will marry that person. Now that I have found what the princess wants, I also asked Lord Yonglin to tell the princess, so that the beautiful thing between me and the princess can be fulfilled!"
"Nonsense!" Another noble man came out, "I also found the treasure that the princess wants. Why does the princess want to marry you?! She should marry me!"
"I also found the treasure that the princess wants, you should marry me!"
…
A few guys carrying fake goods got into an argument. The official's acting skills were indeed excellent. He was clearly holding the fake goods and yet he spoke so confidently. I was so impressed! The only one who did not participate was Fujiwara, who stood with his daughter.
, with a faint smile on his face, seeming to be mocking these clown-like guys.
Princess Eirin looked at the quarreling nobles with a headache. Suddenly she noticed Fujiwara standing at the back, and said to Fujiwara: "Master Fujiwara has found the treasure that the princess needs?"
As soon as Eirin spoke, the quarrelsome guys stopped immediately. They all looked at Fujiwara, feeling bad in their hearts. They had been arguing one by one just now. Don't give the impression that they hated Eirin-sama because of it.
The insidious Fujiwara can take advantage of this opportunity. Looking at Fujiwara with a faint smile on his face, everyone is a little nervous. This guy seems to have obtained the treasure. What if he is chosen?
Fujiwara smiled and exchanged hands with Eirin, and said: "I have exhausted all my abilities to search, but I have not been able to find the Penglai Island in the sea and mountains. Naturally, I cannot find the Penglai jade branch that the princess wants, but according to the princess's description, I have spent all my wealth on it.
, and created a Penglai jade branch!" As he said that, Fujiwara opened the brocade box in his arms. For a moment, colorful lights flashed, and everyone exclaimed, what kind of treasure is this? It has such a charming light.
Lin Zheng looked at the Penglai jade branch in the box in surprise. Although this thing was a knockoff, it was very similar to the original product that Lin Zheng got. In fact, its shining light looked even taller than his original product.
This is a treasure!
Eirin also looked at the fake Horai Yuzhi with some surprise. Since Fujiwara can create such a similar imitation based on the description, it is really amazing! However, it is a pity that the fake is fake, let alone Princess
I had never wanted to get married. Although I admired your character of not lying, Eirin still shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fujiwara. Although this Penglai Jade Branch is very real, I just really want it.
It’s not the treasure the princess wants!”
Hearing this, Fujiwara's eyes were a little disappointed, but he did not completely lose his spirit. When the other nobles heard Eilin's words, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The noble who went to find Fire Rat Fur even laughed with gloating.
, "Fujiwara, you spent a lot of money to create a fake, and you actually dreamed of marrying the princess. It's so shameless! I'm not like you. I went through all the trouble to kill the princess for the treasure she wanted.
I bought a terrifying fire rat and used its fur to make a fire rat fur. You shameless person, just wait until you see me marry the princess and go home!"
This guy's words are really hateful. Even Lin Zheng, a bystander, couldn't help but want to slap him twice. Fujiwara's daughter became even more angry. If Fujiwara hadn't caught her, he would have definitely rushed to beat him. Hey
——You overestimate your abilities, girl! Your little strength is not enough to scratch someone's itch.
"Lord Yonglin, please see, this is the fire rat fur that I worked so hard to get!" The nobleman walked forward and said proudly. After saying that, he opened his brocade box and took out the cloak inside.
It shook out, but as soon as it shook out, he felt something was wrong. Not only him, but Abe Seimei standing aside also discovered the problem. If the fire rat fur is taken out, the surrounding temperature should rise, right?
At this time, Yong Lin saw that there was a problem. She stretched out her hand and flicked it, and a little fire flew towards the cloak. After the fire fell on the cloak, it immediately turned into a fire. The noble holding the cloak was startled and hurriedly
He threw the cloak away. Before the cloak fell to the ground, the fire had burned the entire cloak into black ash. Looking at the black ash falling on the ground, the nobleman and Abe Seimei stared at each other. How is this possible? They had obviously tried it before.
No matter how big the flame is, it can't make the fire rat fur catch fire. Why is it that the fire suddenly burns the thing to ashes?
After coming back to his senses, the noble immediately turned around crazily and yelled at the others: "Who!? Which of you stole my Fire Rat Fur?! Say it quickly!"
The nobles who were questioned for no reason became angry. They had never seen any fire rat fur at all, so they were naturally full of confidence. One of them stood up and shouted loudly: "Abe! Stop spitting on people here, we will even stop your bullock cart."
You haven't even taken a step closer. Who would steal your things? If you were deceived and got fake things, you can only blame yourself for being blind and blame us for it. I think you are the truly shameless person!"
The noble named Abe blushed when he was told that he did not get a fake, he did get the Fire Rat Fur. He had checked it before on the road and there was no problem. The box containing the Fire Rat Fur had always been with him.
When did the person around me get switched? The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Abe grabbed the retainer who was driving the carriage and asked, "Who got on my carriage while I was asleep?"
The retainer trembled, and quickly said that no one had been on the cart, and all the other retainers could testify! The other retainers immediately testified for him, swearing that no suspicious guy had ever been near the cart! Abe was suddenly confused, could it be that Huo
Will a treasure like rat fur be expired? The more I thought about it, the more unacceptable it became. Abe suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood with a "poof", and his whole body lost energy. He was helped away by the panicked retainers.
Seeing Abe vomiting blood and leaving, Abe Seimei on the side was filled with hatred. He had indeed got the fire rat fur. He got it with his own hands. How could it suddenly become a fake? In this regard,
Abe thought hard and couldn't figure it out! Seeing Abe and his retainers walking away, Abe Seimei stamped his feet angrily and followed him quickly. His mission target was Abe. In this situation, there was nothing wrong with staying here.
He also knows that if they guess wrong, the others will definitely fail. That fool Abe has no chance. As long as there is still a chance, there is still hope for his reward.
