Quest Master of Konoha: Chapter 60 grand ceremony
The next day, Yakumo rushed to the gate of Konoha Village in the morning and set off for the Fire City with Reiko Aoyama. Last time, he was full of curiosity and thinking about how to complete the task, but this time he was very calm.
There was no disturbance in the two-day journey, it was still a familiar journey, the familiar mountains and rivers, and the city of fire was still full of people.
On the afternoon of October 3, the two rushed to the familiar Daming Mansion. The person who received them was the new butler of Daming Mansion.
He was wearing a blue long gown, and when he saw Reiko Aoyama and Yakumo, he naturally showed respect and flattery on his face.
Those aged servants in Daming Mansion are no longer seen, and the entire Daming Mansion seems to be full of vitality because of the arrival of a new master.
The original old decorations full of historical traces have been completely removed and replaced, the wooden floors have been replaced by smooth black and white marble, and the old Changming oil lamps have been replaced with more convenient electric lamps.
It is said that the first two days were the succession ceremony of the newly appointed daimyo. It was a huge ceremony, and even though two days had passed, the daimyo still had a festive atmosphere.
The three walked through the long and wide corridor, and all the servants they encountered greeted the housekeeper in Tsing Yi in front of them.
The entire Daming Mansion has become completely new, and even the servants' faces are filled with inexplicable joy. As for the death of the former Daming... no one cares at all.
"Lord Daming has specially instructed that when the two adults arrive, they should take them to see him as soon as possible, and he will personally pick up the wind and clean the dust."
Tsing Yi's butler's expression was full of ingratitude. After all, Yakumo and Aoyama Reiko were the distinguished guests that the daimyo had personally instructed to entertain.
"By the way, has the funeral of the former daimyo been held?"
Yakumo looked at the surroundings and asked casually, the newly renovated Daming Mansion did not have any funeral atmosphere at all.
"On September 30, the predecessor was already buried. Lord Daming doesn't like extravagance, so the funeral ceremony is very simple."
"Oh oh." Yakumo replied, it's more than simple, it can be described as perfunctory, the funeral of a monarch of a country has its own specifications, isn't that guy Shinichi afraid that other people will gossip?
"What's your name?" Yakumo asked.
"Two adults, just call me Chenyu."
Through the conversation, Yakumo knew the fate of the eldest son and the second son. One of the whole family was killed, and the other went to the Temple of Fire to become a monk to pray for blessings. Unfortunately, he encountered a mountain bandit on the road... unfortunately, he died.
The study room in Daming Mansion is very large. It is not only a place for Daming to work, but it can also be used as a conference room. There is even a bathroom and bedroom next to it, so that it is convenient for Daming to sleep at any time.
When the daimyo replaces the previous daimyo, the tax policy set by the previous daimyo will naturally no longer count. Shinichi is discussing the tax issues for the next few decades with the messengers of the major city lords in the land of fire in the study.
The envoys of the city lords have different expressions, some are downcast, some are very happy, but all of them look at Shinichi with a bit of flattery.
"Sir, two distinguished guests from Konoha Hidden Village have arrived."
Chen Yu spoke softly, and the envoys from the cities in the study stopped talking, with displeased eyes flashing in their eyes. They were discussing the current top priority, and the development plan of the Kingdom of Fire in the next few decades was so easily interrupted.
Shinichi raised his head to look at Yakumo and Reiko Aoyama who were outside the door, and immediately showed a familiar smile on his face.
"The rest will be discussed tomorrow."
He waved his hand and ordered casually. At this time, Shinichi was wearing a black kimono and black Haori. Haori's chest was embroidered with the daimyo clan's clan's Hui.
Although he is still very young, he has an extravagance raised by a family of bells and whistles, and his words and deeds carry the majesty of a person in a high position, which is essentially the same as the enthusiastic but humble young man ten days ago. different.
Hearing this, the envoys from each city were slightly stunned, but they bowed to Shinichi to greet each other, and then walked out of the study in an orderly manner.
"Let the kitchen prepare, and later entertain the two distinguished guests in the living room." Zhenyi hurriedly came to the two of them without any pretense, and with enthusiasm, he led the two to the living room.
"Your Majesty..." Yakumo bowed and looked terrified.
"We are friends... You don't have to be so polite." Shinichi immediately bent down to support Yakumo, his face still full of humility and enthusiasm.
Yakumo is subconsciously full of vigilance, and the wisdom of his ancestors told him that when an old Yinbi shows goodwill, what he wants is not only your money, but also your people.
The three of them came to the living room again. The blood-stained carpet had been replaced, and the blood in the past seemed to have dissipated, but that scene was forever etched in Yakumo's mind...
Incomparably rich food, served with juice with no degree, and even there is no priority in the seats, Shinichi's face is full of sincere smiles, like a gathering between friends.
During the banquet, several people began to chat about their past interesting stories. In Shinichi's words, the eldest son became a strict but caring elder brother, while the second son was a cold-hearted and warm-hearted image, full of words and words full of brotherhood. , UU reading www.uukanshu.com but Yakumo tasted carefully and saw only the word hypocrisy between the lines.
The distance between several people seemed to have begun to draw in invisibly, and the title also changed from the very first daimyo to elder sister Aoyama, younger brother Yakumo, and elder brother Shinichi.
Yakumo enjoyed this meal very well. After all, he didn't need to struggle with the food, and he was even more convinced that Shinichi had a lot of plans, but he still didn't know who his goal was.
Even though Reiko Aoyama tried various tests, Shinichi still didn't reveal the purpose of inviting the two to come.
After dinner, Shinichi personally brought the two to their residence for the past few days. It was in the depths of the Daming Mansion.
Aoyama Reiko went back to her room to rest. She was very tired after two days of traveling. Yakumo separated into a shadow clone to study ninjutsu, and the main body started the liver task.
From the diary to the reading summary, to the daily summary... Obviously the daily summary and the diary are repeated parts, but the task system is to let him write two copies.
This is really exciting, double the task... double the joy.
At 10:30 in the evening, Yakumo raised his head to solve today's task, picked up Zihuo as usual, and came to the courtyard to start practicing swords for a day. According to the time, he could practice for an hour.
The blade whistled, and the courtyard was instantly covered with dense knife nets until it was zero o'clock, and Yakumo simply washed and fell asleep.
On October 4th, Shinichi personally accompanied Reiko Aoyama and Yakumo to play in the Fire City after disguising the image. Yakumo continued to prepare gifts for his friends from morning to night. Anyway, Shinichi paid for it. Egg.
On October 15th, the two had stayed in the Daming Mansion for twelve days. Shinichi still didn't reveal any purpose. He was more patient than Yakumo thought.
