Chapter 806, The Strange Tale of Taketori
Each of the five noble lords carried a brocade box, and then marched towards the depths of the bamboo forest with his retainers. Although a few people complained in the ox cart that they didn't get the treasure, at this time, all of them were full of confidence, holding the brocade box in their arms, as if they contained treasures. Lin Zheng knew that nine out of ten of these guys were fakes, and he really wanted to know what kind of lies they would make up later.
After eating the watermelon, Lin Zheng casually threw away the watermelon skin, and then quickly followed. The uncle with the sister walked at the back, and as soon as Lin Zheng followed, he heard the girl whisper: "Father, why are you so persistent?" Even if Kaguya is the best in the world, she is just a woman, and it is worth spending a lot of money just to get that woman? ”
Only after hearing Lin Zheng did he know that this girl was the uncle's daughter, but this is still very nonsense, did you bring a daughter here to show the charm of your mature man? Lin Zheng thinks that most of them will be directly used as an excuse for refusal, even if you find a treasure, it is useless!
The uncle touched his daughter's head with a doting face, and whispered: "Father does this for a reason, I can sue you, it is very worthwhile, as long as you marry Kaguyahime, you will become the most noble girl in the world!" ”
The daughter looked at her father with a puzzled expression, what does marrying Kaguya have to do with her? The father didn't explain anymore, but just smiled at his daughter mysteriously, which made his daughter very entangled, in the end, what secrets did Kaguya have that she didn't know?
Not only his daughter is curious, but Lin Zheng is also quite curious, according to the story he knows, although Kaguya is a celestial princess who has been degraded to the mortal world, there seems to be nothing that can make the person who marries her develop strange abilities, and, according to the description of Taketori Monogatari, the five suitors do not know the identity of Kaguyahime, but apparently this uncle already knows something. It seems that this story has changed a lot in the game!
Lin Zheng groaned for a while, and then probed this middle-aged uncle, Fujiwara is not waiting, oh - the prince of Chezhi, I remember that he seemed to be called to find Penglai Yuzhi, and later said that he was insulted and fled into the mountains, saying that he was "about dead", in short, there was no good result. Fujiwara's daughter is not described in the original story, so Lin Zheng is also a little curious about Fujiwara's favored daughter. This girl is dressed in Fuso's gorgeous twelve single clothes, with long black hair draped down to her waist, and the classical Ji hairstyle makes her face look very small, and she is a very beautiful beauty, her name is Fujiwara Meihong, level 10? Hell, the strength of a novice, how powerless this must be, as long as Lin Zheng reaches out and flicks at her to attack, he can directly kill her in seconds, hey! Isn't it a lack of consideration for you to be a father to bring such a delicate daughter, Fujiwara!?
Continue to walk for more than ten minutes, a classical wooden house has been faintly visible, all the way, everyone is silent, the five suitors are competitors, there is nothing to say, although there are retainers to follow, but the identity gap is there, the head of the house will not surrender his identity to talk nonsense with the retainers, that is too cheap! In short, ten minutes was quite dull. But when I saw the wooden house in the bamboo forest, I lifted my spirits one by one, and finally arrived, whether I could hold the beauty or not, it depends on today's watch.
Everyone quickened their pace, and it didn't take long for them to come to the fence of the wooden house, and it seemed that they already knew about the arrival of these people, and the door of the wooden house "squeaked-" opened, and out came a white-haired lady?! Hey?! Lin Zheng was suddenly surprised, how could she be a royal sister, shouldn't she be an old man?
The royal sister with hemp braids walked out of the house, looked at the noble lord and their retainers, seemed to have a headache, and said: "My princess has not yet gotten up and cannot greet her, but I don't know what happened to the nobles?" ”
"Lord Yonglin, why do you knowingly ask!" A noble lord smiled politely and said, "I have come to admire Princess Kaguya, and the princess has not agreed to us many times in marriage proposals, and finally the princess gave us a chance last time, as long as any of us finds the treasure she wants, we will marry that person, and now I have found what the princess wants, and I ask Lord Yonglin to inform the princess, and the beautiful thing between me and the princess has been fulfilled!" ”
"Nonsense!" Another aristocratic lord walked out, "I also found the treasures of the princess, why should the princess marry you?!" Marry me! ”
"I also found the treasure of the princess, you should marry me!"
……
A few guys with fakes quarreled, the acting skills of the official are really good, obviously holding the guy, and he is so arrogant, he is extremely convinced! The only one who didn't get involved was Fujiwara, who stood with his daughter with a faint smile on his face, as if mocking the clown-like guys.
Royal Sister Yonglin looked at the arguing nobles with a headache, and suddenly she noticed Fujiwara standing at the back, so she said to Fujiwara: "Fujiwara-sama has found the treasure that the princess needs?" ”
Yonglin spoke, the quarreling guys immediately stopped, and they all looked at Fujiwara, feeling bad in their hearts, they just quarreled one by one, don't hurt the impression of Lord Yonglin because of this, and gave the sinister Fujiwara a chance, looking at Fujiwara with a faint smile, they were all a little nervous, this guy seems to have also gotten a treasure, what if he is chosen?
Fujiwara smiled and Yonglin arched their hands, and said: "I tried my best to find it, and I couldn't find Penglai Immortal Island in the sea and mountains, so naturally I couldn't find the Penglai jade branch that the princess wanted, but according to the princess's description, I poured all my family wealth to create a Penglai jade branch!" As he spoke, Fujiwara opened the brocade box in his arms, and suddenly, the colorful light flickered, and everyone exclaimed, what kind of treasure is this? There is such a charming light.
Lin Zheng looked at the Penglai jade branch in the box in surprise, although this thing is a copycat, it is actually very similar to the genuine product that Lin Zheng got, and even, its flashing light is even taller than his genuine product, this is a treasure!
Yonglin also looked at the Penglai jade branch of the cottage with some surprise, since such a similar imitation can be created based on the description, this Fujiwara is really amazing! However, it's a pity, a fake is a fake, not to mention, the princess didn't want to marry in the first place, although I admire you for not lying, but Yonglin still shook his head and said: "It's a pity Fujiwara-sama, although this Penglai jade branch is very similar to the real one, but it is just very much to think, not the princess's treasure!" ”
Hearing this, Fujiwara's eyes were a little disappointed, but he did not completely lose his spirit. When the other nobles heard Yonglin's words, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the nobleman who went to find the fire rat Qiu even gloated, "Fujiwara, you spent a lot of money to create a fake, and you still want to marry a princess, it's really shameful!" I'm not like you, for the sake of the princess's treasure, I have worked hard to kill a terrible fire rat, and use its fur to make a fire rat fur, you shameless person just wait to see me marry the princess and go home! ”
This guy's words are really hateful, Lin Zheng and a bystander couldn't help but want to slap him twice, Fujiwara's daughter was even more angry, if Fujiwara hadn't caught her, she would definitely rush up and beat someone, hey, a girl who can't help herself! Just your little strength is not enough to tickle others.
"Lord Yonglin, please see, this is the fire rat fur that I worked so hard to get!" The aristocrat stepped forward proudly and said, as he spoke, he opened his brocade box and shook out the cloak in the brocade box, but as soon as this shook out, he felt that something was wrong, not only him, but Abe Harumi who was standing on the side also found a problem, if the fire rat fur was taken out, the temperature around should rise, right?
At this time, Yonglin saw that the problem was coming, stretched out his hand and flicked, and a little fire flew towards the cloak, after the fire fell on the cloak, it immediately turned into a fire, the nobleman holding the cloak was startled, and quickly threw the cloak away, without waiting for the cloak to land, the fire had burned the entire cloak into black ash, looking at the black ash that fell on the ground, the nobleman and Abe Qingming stared for a while, how could it be? They had tried before, no matter how big the flame was, they couldn't make the fire rat fur catch fire, so why did a fire suddenly burn things to ashes?
When he came back to his senses, the nobleman immediately turned around frantically and yelled at the others, "Who!? Which of you stole my fire rat fur?! Say it! ”
The nobles who were questioned for no reason were on fire, they had never seen any fire rat fur at all, and naturally they were full of confidence, and one of them stood up and shouted loudly: "Abe! You don't spew blood here, we didn't even get a step closer to your ox cart, who will steal your things, you were deceived and got a fake thing, you can only blame yourself for having no eyes, and you actually relied on us, I think you are the real shameless person! ”
The nobleman named Abe was said to be flushed, he didn't get a fake, he did get the fire rat fur, he checked it when he was on the road before, there was no problem, the box containing the fire rat fur has always been with him, when was it dropped? The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and Abe grabbed the retainers who were driving the car, "Who got into my car while I was asleep?" ”
The retainer trembled, and hurriedly said that no one had ever been on it, and the other retainers could testify! The other retainers immediately testified for him, swearing that no suspicious fellow had ever approached the ox cart! Abe was suddenly at a loss, could it be that the treasure of the fire rat Qiu would not expire? The more I thought about it, the more unacceptable it became, Abe suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood with a "poof-" and the whole person was not energetic, and he was helped away by the panicked retainers.
Seeing Abe vomiting blood and leaving, Abe Harumi on the side was itching with hatred, and the fire rat Qiu did get it, he got it with his own hands, how could it suddenly become a fake? In this regard, Abe can't figure it out even if he wants to break his head! Seeing that Abe and his retainers had gone away, Abe Harumi stomped his feet resentfully, and hurriedly followed, his mission object was Abe, and now in this situation, it was useless to stay here, Taketori Monogatari He also knew that if they guessed wrong, others would definitely end up in failure, Abe's fool is not without a chance, as long as there is still a chance, then there is still hope for his reward.
