Ah He was a little surprised. This was the first plate of meatballs that had been prepared. She thought that Xuezi had come in to give it to the daimyo to eat, but she didn't expect Xuezi to eat it by herself first.

But she didn't think too much, just said: "The latter ones haven't been finished yet, we have to wait a while. There is also red bean soup."

Xuezi nodded. In fact, Ahe's craftsmanship is just ordinary, not the kind of craftsmanship that will shine after cooking.But sometimes it's just because it's ordinary that it's more enjoyable.

"I said Miss Ahe, why don't you go to Jiuli to do business." Xuezi said while eating.

In fact, she is a bit greedy. She was so poor that she sold herself before. Of course, she never ate anything delicious, but now she can't refuse some sweet and greasy food.

So when he came here this time, Xuezi planned to abduct Ah He to Jiuli.

Chapter 44

Xuezi plans to take Ahe away, so that she can also eat delicious three-color meatballs and red bean soup when she is in Jiuli.

In fact, teahouses like this and even some izakayas will sell these foods, and there are many such shops in Kuri, but Yukiko likes the sweets made by Ah Tsuru, which are not unique.

So she simply asked Ah He if he wanted to go to Jiuli to do business.

But Ah He was a little embarrassed.

At first, she also thought about whether to go to Kuri to do business, but she was very distressed at that time. On the one hand, she didn't know whether Kuri was really as good as others said, and on the other hand, it was also because Kin'emon followed Odaichi. He didn't even have any letters, and Ah Tsuru was afraid that after he moved to Kuri, Kin'emon would not be able to find them when he came back.

After hesitating, he heard that it was difficult to settle down in Jiuli, which made Ah He no longer worry.

Now that Xuezi mentioned this matter again, it moved her a little.

Now there is no need to question the prosperity of Jiuli. Ahe heard that this year, the offerings made by one township in Jiuli to the Capital of Flowers even exceeded the sum of the three townships of Nozomi Suzugo and Utodon.

But Azuru is still worried about Kin'emon.

She and Kin'emon are old friends. Although that guy is a complete bastard, it doesn't matter if he doesn't work, and he often comes here to steal money. He is obviously strong and strong, but he is lazy, but they grew up together after all. Very tolerant of him.

If I just leave like this, maybe the two of them will never meet again in the future.

It's hard for Ah He to make up his mind after being friends for so many years.

But if he gave up this opportunity, Ah He would be a little unwilling.It is not impossible for ordinary businessmen to do business in Jiuli now, but they will have to pay a huge price if they want to buy a house or land in Jiuli.

Half a year earlier, if Ah He could make up his mind to sell his teahouse, he could still buy a house with twice the area in a remote location in Jiuli.But now I can't even afford a toilet.

And now the opportunity to go to Jiuli to do business is in front of her eyes. Who would have thought that this beautiful woman who looks a little cold in front of her is actually the leader of Jiuli's finance department.

Most of the land in Jiuli belongs to the daimyo's property, and now the leader of the survey and administration wants her to open a teahouse, even if it is to open in the most prosperous land, it is only a matter of one sentence.

Ah He felt as if he had thought about it for a long time, but in fact it was only for a while.

She nodded yes.

If you think about it carefully, even if you go to Kuri, it doesn't mean that you have lost contact with your friend Kin'emon forever. After all, the other party is following the general's son, and he will definitely become a general in the future.

The present General has no other children.

In this way, Ah Tsuru, as the first samurai to follow the opponent, Kin'emon will definitely become a famous nobleman in the city of flowers in the future.When the time comes, you will naturally not be able to find them if you want to meet.

However, after a person has really made a fortune, it is not certain whether the former friends can still be regarded as friends.

After all, he is a person who has been away for two years without writing a letter...

Azuru didn't think too much about this aspect. She still doesn't have that kind of affection for Kin'emon now. Who would have a good impression of a rascal?

"Since this is the case, you should prepare first. When we return, go to Jiuli with us, or I can write a document directly, and you can take it to Jiuli and go directly to the Daming Mansion. Someone will arrange for you at that time." .” Xuezi said.

"Then I'll wait here for Miss Xuezi." Ah He said softly while filling up the red bean soup.After all, she was a woman, so she was a little worried if she was asked to go to a strange place alone, with unfamiliar people.

With someone she knew like Xuezi, she would be less or less afraid.

Xuezi nodded and didn't say anything more.

The two stopped talking for a while.After all, their relationship is not very close.

Immediately after that, Ah He brought out the good food. Tea, red bean soup, and three-color meatballs were just some snacks. Jiu Tianwan didn't know why Xuezi had a soft spot for these things.

Especially the three-color meatballs and red bean soup, which are so sweet that they are a bit greasy.

But it happens that the tea can relieve the tiredness, so of course some people will not refuse to drink Tianwan.

After resting for half a day, Xuezi and the others left.

Ah He walked back to the house holding the ten gold he just got in his hand, found a box and put the money in it.In fact, the food and tea are not worth so much at all.Although there are 30 people, it is just a little three-color meatballs and a pot of red bean soup.

She sighed, closed the box and put it back, then turned around and began to tidy up the house.

"That guy Kin'emon, I don't know if he can stick to walking with Oda-sama." Ah Tsuru thought, she was most afraid that Kin'emon would give up halfway, and in the end, he would run back in disgrace.

It's not impossible, and it's not like she didn't help Kin'emon find a decent job before, but he came back every time he couldn't do anything.This time, if you give up halfway, I am afraid that the other party really has no basis.

Thinking of this, Ah Tsuru still decided not to sell the teahouse, so as to leave a way out for Kin'emon.

She planned to bring only some clothes and belongings with her, and that would be enough.

After all, with Xuezi's help, Ah He doesn't have to worry that he doesn't have a store open in Jiuli.But she can't always be favored by others.

"At least the expenses of the store that Ms. Xuezi helped me prepare must be repaid with future income." Ah He thought.

On the one hand, the real estate in Jiuli is expensive, and more importantly, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.Being able to obtain the qualification to buy is considered a gesture of gratitude, and as for the real estate, it must not be in vain.

……

After leaving Ah He's teahouse, he was actually very close to the capital of the Flower Capital.

When it was dusk, Xuezi and the others saw the red torii gates on the outskirts of Ducheng High.

The terrain of the Capital of Flowers is slightly higher than that of the suburbs, like a raised platform.There are flat steps on the passageway for entry and exit. After stepping on the steps and passing through the torii gate, you will be the real capital of flowers.

The houses in the capital are like houses, and the people who can live here, even ordinary people, will not be too hard.After all, it is the capital city, even a dilapidated house has some value.If it was someone who couldn't even afford to eat, he would have already sold his property and gone to live elsewhere.

In other words, the prosperity of the Capital of Flowers is not for everyone, but for those who cannot survive here and are forced to leave.The Wano country is so big, and the managers of each village are different, so there will naturally be a gap in prices.

"What a big cherry blossom tree!"

Shutenmaru looked up at the center of the city, and was immediately attracted by the pink crescent-like cherry blossom tree.

"If you don't see Fang for three days, the world will be full of cherry blossoms."

Chapter 45

The climate in the capital of flowers is very mild, and when the cool wind blows in the air, it brings flower petals falling all over the sky like a rain of flowers.

These scattered flowers are as pale as snow, with a little gradient of pink.After the light colors come together, it suddenly becomes a pink sunset.

Fallen flowers.

The so-called Sakura Fubuki must be referring to this scene, right?

There is a faint fragrance in the wind.In fact, the smell of cherry blossoms is very light, but so many flowers gather here, and the subtle aroma is also condensed.

"It's really beautiful cherry blossoms." Jiu Tianmaru sighed, his education level is not high, or rather, he doesn't have much education at all, and he even learned some literacy in the past six months.

Unlike Yukiko who can speak a little haiku.

There is no cherry blossom in Wano country that they don't like. This kind of cherry blossom that blooms and then withers casually, although it is dead, is still beautiful.When the cherry blossoms wither, they are clean and clean.In their fantasy, life should be the same.

Life is short, to be alive is to be as brilliant as cherry blossoms, even if you die, you should leave decisively.

Live a splendid life, and die as well.

However, although they respect this spirit, few of them can really welcome death like cherry blossoms.In fact, people in this country can endure the oppression of Heitan Orochi and Kaido for nearly 30 to [-] years without daring to resist. After all, there are more people who are greedy for life and afraid of death.

"I heard that this cherry blossom tree keeps blooming no matter how many years, is this true?" Shutianmaru asked Yukiko.

Xuezi shook her head, and stretched out her hand to take a small petal brought by the breeze. The shape of the pink and tender petals looked like the hoof prints of some animals.The people of Wano country call the arrogance of the armed color as Liu Ying.This kind of power that can flow in the body is like cherry blossoms falling in the wind.

"I don't know, but when I came a few times ago, the cherry blossoms were just as lush."

In the new world, people often don't have much concept of the four seasons. If people living in Winter Island have never been out to sea, they may think that no matter where they are in the world, there are ice and snow scenery.

They don't know spring flowers and autumn moon, and the quiet cicadas in summer.

"Let's go quickly." Xuezi said softly, and her voice became softer at some point.

The samurai wearing this majestic armor walked on the streets of the Flower City. They marched neatly, looking like majestic generals, majestic and murderous, but those cherry blossom petals fell on their shoulder armor, falling Among their stern figures, there seemed to be a little bit of tenderness amidst their might.

"what is this?"

"Are these people..."

The people in the capital of flowers naturally retreated when they saw such a majestic team.Those mighty and tall warriors made them dare not even look at them.This kind of aura was not seen in the troops they had seen before.

For a while, apart from fear, there were also some eyes of admiration and respect.

Many punks' eyes lit up when they saw it, wishing that they were one of them, and greeted people's awe-inspiring gazes with their heads held high.

"Where did this warrior come from? It's so bold!"

"Look, that adult sitting in the sedan chair, don't you think he is very handsome?"

"That's right, that's right, you can see the noble aura at a glance, it's almost like a noble son!"

The eyes of the women in the capital of flowers are completely attracted by the black charcoal evening cicada on the bright red sedan chair.This old guy was quite good at putting on airs, and he was wearing a feathered pattern, leaning lazily on the edge of the sedan chair, enjoying the gazes of countless people without being nervous at all.

On the contrary, she was completely at ease, as if these were just small scenes.

She had a calm smile on her face, propped her side face with one hand, and looked down at the pedestrians on the side of the road with haughty eyes, aloof like a god, holding a bowl of clear sake in the other hand.

She didn't drink, but let the scattered petals float into the wine, causing tiny ripples.

At this time, the picture seemed to be frozen, and the noble, elegant and handsome appearance was still deeply imprinted into the hearts of everyone in the Capital of Flowers.Xuezi noticed the spring in those women's eyes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.

Let Master Xia Lin's figure be perfectly displayed in front of these people, this Heitan Muchan finally did something that made her feel at ease.

However, Xuezi still felt that if Master Xia Lin was here, he would definitely be able to do better.

Xia Lin didn't know what happened here, otherwise he would definitely say that he is not as good at pretending as Heitan Muchan.

"These people, could they be from Jiuli..."

"A samurai from Kuri?"

"It is true that the general has summoned the daimyo of Kuri. So, that person is the daimyo of Kuri. He is so handsome!"

"The feeling of aloofness makes it hard to imagine that we can actually see such a noble person with our own eyes."

It's not that these residents of Flower City have never seen famous names from other villages, but those people are not at the same level as Xia Lin.Although there is a sense of distance when looking at it from a distance, it is completely different from the current feeling.

"To be ruled by such a daimyo, the people of Kuri are too happy!"

The people of Jiuli living in the affluent Jiuli are of course very happy.

Although the sky is getting late, there is still a night market in the capital of flowers.At night, the streets are decorated with lights, which is also a good scenery.Of course, they don't have time to appreciate it today.

Soon they will enter the General's Mansion, and after they are cleansed, they will attend the dinner held by the General.

In fact, the dinner party is very boring in Xuezi's opinion. It is nothing more than a group of people who don't know each other get together to eat, and then listen to the singing and dancing of the oiran girls who come from Yuguo or Sukiyaki himself.

Jiu Tianmaru is looking forward to it.

He came to Flower Capital as a retainer of Kuri Daimyo. He is considered a person of status, and he has a place in tonight's banquet.It is a very happy thing for him to be able to drink blatantly.What's more, there are beauties who prepare sukiyaki to accompany them.

He didn't have this kind of treatment in Jiuli. Without a salary, he certainly didn't have the money to relax in Guo Guo.

Now, as the manpower of Tianling is growing, many new samurai who join Tianling are originally innocent, and these people have salaries, but Jiu Tianmaru, who was originally a thief, has no salary to get atonement. of.

So much so that although he is the leader of the Heavenly Realm, his life is actually much more miserable than that of his subordinates.

Chapter 46

Sky Island is an island made of island clouds,

This kind of cloud looks like the cloud layer in Doraemon that can be stepped on after being solidified by props.It is a sky kingdom above the clouds.

This dreamlike attribute made Sky Island a bit romantic in Xia Lin's eyes.

People living on Sky Island usually wear white decorations like angel wings.The tools used are special clouds and shells.These shells originate from the Bai Bai Sea.

The altitude of Baibaihai is above [-] meters, it is the ocean in the sky.Although the density of the sea of ​​clouds is very small, there are still creatures living in it.Compared with Qinghai's creatures, Sky Island's creatures are naturally different in body structure.

In order to cross the Red Earth Continent, Xia Lin directly used the clouds of the sky to carry the boat into the sky.Kaido can lift Ghost Island with flame clouds, and a mere ship is nothing to Xia Lin.

A few days ago, he exchanged those pirates for the bounty at the naval base in the New World. The bounty plus the property already on board, now there are a total of 3000 million Baileys on board.Such a lot of money made Jasmine feel very happy.

Although she doesn't really understand the exchange rate of Bailey and Wano country's gold and silver.But since it is more than 2 million, such a large number, no matter what, it is a lot of wealth, right?
