A few minutes later, Guanghui seemed to have calmed down a little. She looked up at Lei Luo, the color in her eyes seemed to be sizing up a giant beast, but this did not affect her from saying what she should say:
"Your Excellency, Hokage, we in the Fire Country have no intention of going against you and Konoha, so please look at today's conflict rationally."
"Oh?" After a while, Lei Luo had noticed that this little girl Guanghui was not simple, so he pretended to be thoughtful and asked:
"Can you represent the Fire Nation?"
"Yes!" The answer was given with certainty, and before Lei Luo could respond, Guanghui quickly added: "As long as I can get your support, Mr. Hokage, I am sure to become the new daimyo."
Realizing that Guanghui was probably a careerist, Lei Luo smiled slightly and asked without answering: "Why should I support you? I did something to your father, do you think I will still be willing to cooperate with your daimyo clan?
"
"You did not kill my father. Xiaoqiu's psychic beast saw everything about that meeting."
As he spoke, Guanghui raised his hand slightly, motioning to the kunoichi named Xiao Qiu, who had a tangled look on his face as if he wanted to explain something, not to speak yet, and said to Lei Luo in an aggravated tone:
"My father did not die in the end, this is the result."
"It doesn't matter what specific means you used or what happened before. What I see is the results, and people also like to see the results."
He clearly stomped on the daimyo's head, and then the reverse flow was just to search for memories, but Guanghui could understand it so well. Lei Luo really didn't know what to say, so he simply ignored the topic and turned to
asked:
"Supporting you? What benefits can I gain?"
Mitsue responded with almost no hesitation: "The Fire Nation and Konoha will be on friendly terms, and financial allocations will return to normal. I will not interfere in Konoha's internal policies as arbitrarily as my father did."
"Which country do you want to build another Ninja Village in? I won't care about it, as long as you can guarantee the safety of our Daimyo family and our status in the Land of Fire."
These benefits are real, but the round table agreement involves a new round of social changes, and the reform is an important step in taking control of political power. Lei Luo did not forget the capitalists on this occasion, so he said:
"The last request is that I have several friends who are very interested in the legislative policies of the Fire Nation. I also think that the power structure of the Fire Nation should be changed. So, if you can get along with them, I will have no problem.
Already."
What Lei Luo said was incomprehensible, but Guanghui had often heard about the situation in Konoha. She frowned slightly at the moment, and after thinking for a while, she asked dumbly:
"You are referring to those merchants in Konoha, right? As long as they do not shake the status of our daimyo family, then..."
"Adjusting some policies to make the country stronger and stronger, I, Guanghui, will naturally give my full support."
Guanghui seems to understand things very well. In Lei Luo's understanding, this means that he has a strong desire to cooperate with him. Although he does not know the details of the other party, he has said it for this reason. Instead of falling out with the Kingdom of Fire,
It's better to just support Guanghui.
Anyway, supporting the descendant of a daimyo who favors him to become a new daimyo can be regarded as achieving his goal in disguise. As for the Fire Country, it seems that there has never been a female daimyo before...
Lei Luo said that she had her own support, and it didn’t matter whether Guanghui was a boy or a girl.
As long as she retains the blood of the daimyo family, then in this ninja world where blood is supreme, she will undoubtedly have the minimum qualification to inherit the daimyo.
The negotiation ended in a few words, and the general tone of cooperation was set. In the following time, Guanghui became aggressive and led Lei Luo around the Daming Mansion. Along the way, he began to instruct Lei Luo and others to replace him.
She eliminated certain "unstable elements".
It is worth mentioning that these so-called unstable elements by Guanghui are basically her uncles, brothers, and so on. However, Guanghui does not seem to have any family ties with them, and it seems more like they have sworn sworn feelings.
He was so hateful that he opened his mouth and shut up just to kill them.
Knowing that Guanghui was mostly using his own power to eliminate his competitors, Lei Luo had nothing to say, so he called Fugaku and Beiliu and started killing people. After the killing, he preserved the bodies and took them away.
As for the nobles who were killed, the few guardian ninjas around them were really insignificant in front of the power of Lei Luo and his group. Killing them was not much more difficult than killing a chicken.
The bloody purge operation began. In the name of Mitsue, a true princess of the Land of Fire, many members of the daimyo family shed blood on the spot, and returned to the pure land full of resentment against Lei Luo and the others.
Along with those who were also killed, there were many nobles loyal to the Fire Nation's daimyo, as well as officials who wanted to start a "rebellion" like the three previous generals.
It wasn't until night fell and he temporarily stayed at the Daming Mansion that Lei Luo had time to sigh: Today's experience can be said to have been full of twists and turns, with variables everywhere.
Whether it's beating up a big name in anger, leaking information and causing chaos in the capital, or getting to know Guanghui, accidentally forming a new alliance and starting a purge operation...
Although things are progressing smoothly overall, Lei Luo has collected a bunch of corpses of Daimyo family members, which is equivalent to holding Guanghui's handle. He is not too worried about the other party's defaulting on the debt after he succeeds in taking power, and he will die like her father.
The trick of disobedience.
Cooperation, so far, is quite pleasant. It is good to have a leading party. At least Lei Luo knows who his friends are and who his enemies are.
However, I still have to say...
A series of things that happened today were basically beyond his expectation, and none of them went smoothly according to the original plan. This was undoubtedly very uncomfortable for Lei Luo, who always liked to make plans before taking action.
From this point, it can be seen that when faced with the complex and ever-changing political environment, his response method is extremely dull and sluggish. At least, it is far inferior to an all-rounder like Uzumaki Makoto.
In the luxuriously decorated Japanese-style bungalow, Lei Luo was sitting alone on the tatami, silently thinking about the various changes that had occurred during the day.
Then he thought about... the questions he'd asked himself at the end of the meeting.
His face, illuminated by the orange candlelight next to the bed, looked somewhat dim and gloomy. In line with the lonely and uninhabited environment here, there was a faint sense of loneliness.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Lei Luo still didn't fall asleep.
At the moment before taking action against the daimyo, all the thoughts that came to his mind came to him again, making him seem to inadvertently recall the strand of golden hair in his memory.
