The daimyo was sitting in front of the window. There was a chessboard in front of him, which was Asuma's favorite shogi. However, there was no opponent opposite the daimyo, so he was playing chess with himself.
"Sir, the prime minister's fund-raising was very successful." A figure appeared under the window, half-kneeling and reporting to the daimyo the whole process of Mirror's fundraising. The daimyo listened while moving his fan against the chess pieces. Waiting until the person's report was completed
, the daimyo’s game of chess also had a winner.
After a moment of silence, the daimyo slowly said: "The Kurama clan is indeed the family that is best at illusions! That's fine, let's invest our money elsewhere! But those businessmen are so rich, aren't they?
Is it time to consider raising taxes?”
Regarding the daimyo's question, the person half-kneeling outside the window did not dare to say anything. He remembered that his predecessor accepted the daimyo's words because he was smart, and was transferred to the border of the Land of Rain not long after.
"Well... forget it, let's see what Mr. Ming Jing does next!" Daimyo thought for a while, smiled slightly, and focused his attention on the chessboard again.
…
On the third day, when Yuexi was counting the donations, Mingjing took Qingyan out again. But this time it was not a walk, but a purposeful visit to a person. Tamachi Masahiro - the most famous person in the Land of Fire
An agricultural expert, hydraulic scientist, and civil engineering expert, he is now sixty years old.
Tamachi Masayu lived on a hill outside the royal capital. He planted Japanese red maples on the mountain. When the wind blew, it seemed as if the whole mountain was on fire. Ming Jing stopped and looked at the scene in front of him and said: "It seems that this Tamachi
Mr. Zhengyu is an enthusiastic person!”
"How did the young master know?" Qing Yan is indeed the best player and gave Ming Jing another chance to show off.
"Because the flower language of red maple is enthusiasm! Let's go!" Ming Jing smiled and seized the opportunity, and then walked towards the building on the mountain with satisfaction.
The two walked to the yard and saw a little girl under fifteen years old sweeping the floor with a broom. Ming Jing compared it and decided that it would be better to let Qingyan call the door. Who told Qingyan to look mature?
So, Ming Jing stepped back a little, and Qingyan walked up and shouted to the little girl in the yard: "Miss, is Mr. Tamachi Masayu at home?"
"What do you want from my grandpa?" the little girl looked up at Qingyan and asked.
"Miss, please tell Mr. Tamachi Masahiro about the important matter. Prime Minister Kurama Mingjing is here to visit." Qingyan tried hard to not look so cold, and also slowed down his speaking speed.
"Oh, wait a moment!" The little girl nodded. She glanced at the mirror behind Qingyan, put the broom aside and ran into the house.
"Thank you." Qing Yan politely shouted at the little girl's back, and then retreated behind Ming Jing.
After a while, there was movement in the room, and a thin old man walked out. His waist was straight and every step was vigorous. After walking in, Ming Jing discovered that the old man was quite tall, nearly 1.9 meters tall.
.
"I am Tamachi Masahiro. I heard that the Prime Minister is looking for me. Where is he?" Tamachi Masahiro looked at Qingyan, tilted his head and asked.
"Sorry, I am the Prime Minister, Kurama Mingjing, and I have met Mr. Tamachi." Mingjing had to raise his hand to indicate.
"Huh??" Tamachi Masayu lowered his head and looked down. Then the old man squatted down, touched his chin with one hand and said: "You look good! It's a pity that it doesn't look as good as in the newspaper. By the way, do you have a partner? Why don't you follow me?
How about dating my granddaughter?"
"..." Ming Jing looked embarrassed. Is this guy really the best water conservancy expert and civil engineering expert in the Land of Fire and even the world? He actually promoted his granddaughter at the first meeting. How much does this old man dislike his granddaughter?
!By the way, the unreliability in that moment just now was an illusion, right? It must be an illusion!
"Grandpa..." Just when Ming Jing was in a daze, a broom fell from the sky and hit Tamachi Masayu on the head accurately. Then the little girl suppressed her anger and said: "Please invite the guests to sit down!"
Hmm...the way this grandfather and grandson get along is really special! Ming Jing and Qing Yan looked at each other, thinking silently in their hearts.
"Ah ha ha ha... Sorry, sorry, please come inside!" Tamachi Masayu laughed loudly, stood up and went inside.
"You're welcome, sir!" Ming Jing nodded and walked in. As soon as he took his seat, the little girl made tea and brought it to him.
Tamachi Masayu nodded towards the little girl with satisfaction, and then asked Ming Jing in a low voice: "Really don't think about it? Look how sensible my granddaughter is!"
Ming Jing secretly rolled his eyes and lazily answered the old man's words. He went straight to the topic and said: "Mr. Tamachi, my name is Kurama Ming Jing, and I am temporarily the Prime Minister of the Country of Fire. I am taking the liberty to come here this time, hoping to invite you to come out and preside over a canal.
excavation."
Tamachi Masayu also got into the mood immediately. He frowned and said: "Well, I read today's newspaper. The Prime Minister is much more handsome in the newspaper. Ahem... I mean, I support the Prime Minister's idea emotionally.
Yes, but technically, it’s a bit whimsical!”
I'm so sorry for not being on camera! You actually reminded me twice!
Ming Jing took a breath and reminded himself of the purpose of coming this time. He adjusted his mentality and asked: "You are an expert in water conservancy and civil engineering, and you have the best say in professional aspects. What I want to ask is, what are the technical problems you think are there?
Can it be solved by relying on the abilities of ninjas?"
Tamachi Masayu closed his eyes and thought, then took out a few maps and books from the study room, flipped through the calculations for a while and then said: "Well... I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome to rely solely on the ninjas of Konoha Village. After all, I
From what I know, there are not many earth-attribute ninjas in Konoha Village. However, if there are thunder-attribute ninjas, they should be able to do it."
"Since the problem can be solved by ninjas, it's not a problem!" Ming Jing said domineeringly, what should I do if the ninjas in Konoha Village can't do it? Ming Jing can go to the Kingdom of Rain to fool a big BOSS. If that doesn't work, go to the Earth Ninja Village.
Finished the task.
"Hey, I feel relieved when I see the Prime Minister is so confident, so now there is only one last question left!" Tamachi Masayu stared at the mirror and said with a serious expression: "My granddaughter does not allow me to travel far away."
What the hell is this problem?!
Not to be outdone, Ming Jing stared at Tamachi Masayu: "Sir, are you kidding me? Your granddaughter looks less than fifteen years old, right? Can she decide your schedule?"
Unexpectedly, just after Ming Jing finished speaking, a broom fell from the sky and hit him on the head with a "snap". Qing Yan on the side was also stunned. Didn't the little girl go out just now? Why did she suddenly come back?! Could it be that she is a hidden master?
?Qingyan's expression suddenly became solemn.
"I'm sorry, I, Tamachi Kiki, am already twenty-two years old, but I just grew up late! I don't let grandpa go out because it's too dangerous outside, and it's easy for an old man to have an accident." Tamachi Kiki held a broom in one hand.
, holding a fist in one hand, as if he would go berserk at any time.
"Hahaha...Miss Tamachi really has good looks!" The corners of Mingjing's eyes twitched. Most people only have breasts but not height, but this one is better, neither breasts nor height. After saying the compliment, Mingjing's tone changed,
She said compassionately: "But at the border, tens of thousands of victims are homeless. They are also born and raised by their parents, and they are flesh and blood people! Can Ms. Tamachi bear to see them suffer like this?" Well, if there is no broom on the head, it will definitely be effective.
more!
"But, there are bandits and robbers everywhere outside. My grandfather is old and can't be so tired from running around..." Tamachi Qiqi gritted her teeth and was a little shaken.
"Let's do this!" Ming Jing took off the broom from his head. He looked at Tamachi Qiqi and said, "We will protect Mr. Tamachi's safety! I promise that Mr. Tamachi will not be harmed in the slightest!"
"You? Are you and him?" Tamachi Qiqi glanced at Qingyan next to her, and asked in a somewhat arrogant tone: "You can't even hide from my broom, how can you protect my grandpa?"
"I can't let Miss Tamachi knock over the cup and let the tea wet the seat, right?" Ming Jing asked with a slight smile.
"You!..." Tamachi Qiqi glared at Ming Jing. She didn't expect that this guy had such a powerful mouth and could turn black into white.
"How about this!" Ming Jing answered without waiting for Tamachi Kiki to finish: "You and I will have a competition. If I win by chance, Mr. Tamachi will come with me, how about that?"
"Okay! I won't be merciful this time." Tamachi Qiqi nodded immediately. Tamachi Masayu on the side watched the two betting with interest, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
After a while, Tamachi Kiki put on a kendo uniform and stood in the yard with a samurai sword on her waist. Her style suddenly became beautiful. Ming Jing held a Han sword in one hand and looked at Tamachi Kiki quietly.
.
"Be careful!" Tamachi Kiki warned, and rushed towards Ming Jing. With a flick of her thumb, the knife was slightly unsheathed.
Ming Jing looked at Tamachi Kiki in surprise. Isn't this a sword charge commonly used by samurai? This girl is a samurai in the ninja world! Is she related to Mifune?
In the blink of an eye, Tamachi Kiki approached the mirror, and in a flash of cold light, the sword was unsheathed!
Ming Jing narrowed his eyes and slid back without leaving the ground. Tamachi Kiki threw the scabbard in her hand towards Ming Jing, then held the knife in both hands and stabbed forward.
At this moment, Ming Jing's feet stopped sliding backwards, and his upper body continued to fall backwards to avoid the tip of the knife. At the same time, he raised the Han sword in his hand and hit Tamachi Qiqi's chest.
The two of them moved for a moment, and the next moment Ming Jing fell to the ground because she had no strength to support her. Tamachi Qiqi was stunned for a moment, then bit her lip in frustration.
Tamachi Masayu walked to his granddaughter and said with a smile: "You have realized it this time! You usually don't believe it when grandpa tells you."
"Humph, he's lucky this time!" Tamachi Kiki snorted, and she couldn't help but wonder if she was too eager for success? This guy only made two moves from beginning to end, stepping back and doing an upward thrust. Really,
It sucks to fail!
Ming Jing got up from the ground, looked at Tamachi Masayu and said, "Now, sir, you can come with me."
"The Prime Minister is indeed concerned about the disaster area. When will we set off?" Tamachi Masayu also asked impatiently.
"Tomorrow, I'll come here to pick you up!" Ming Jing said happily.
