·
Zhong Er Shi Bing Wo Bu Zhi
After his eyes moved between the two people who were chatting happily several times, Sarutobi Sasuke, who was thinking about everything in his mind, tentatively said, "You two... have known each other before?"
"Of course," Blood Pool Shang sat next to Ling very naturally, with a familiar tone, "We recognized each other the first time we met - Mr. Sarutobi, when did you meet Ling? Woolen cloth?"
Sarutobi Sasuke's forehead suddenly jumped, his body tightened unconsciously, and some bad feelings arose in his heart, "I won't happen to bump into someone's hand, right?" 】
"Yes, Shang is an opponent worth fighting..." Ling's shoulders drooped, his hands were folded and he held the staff and knife, with an unclear meaning at the corner of his mouth, "It's a pity that you don't seem to be friends with me."
"Don't say that, I like you quite a lot and want to be friends with you -" Blood Pool Shang also chuckled, "I just don't want to be betrayed by my friends, so I always leave a little backup... But if it were you, I could make a slight exception."
"I'm really grateful, but I'd better avoid it." The smile on Ling's face faded a little, "I can convince myself to be tolerant of hostile people and cooperate with each other for a win-win situation, but I'm not tolerant yet. You are so generous that you trust me with your back... To put it bluntly, as a friend, you are worse than the Senju."
"puff."
Blood Pond Shang expressionlessly looked at Sarutobi Sasuke, who was coughing to hide his smile, and narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that Mr. Sarutobi knows something?"
Sarutobi Sasuke looked at the remaining confusion on Blood Pond's face and couldn't help but let out another muffled laugh, "No, no, no, we can't afford to offend either of these two clans. I don't dare to know."
But after saying this, Sarutobi Sasuke was already rolling with laughter in his heart - which ninja clan in the Fire Country didn't know about the grievances between Senju and Uchiha?To say they will fight to the death is an understatement.
To be able to force an Uchiha to give such an evaluation as "a partner worse than the Senju" is the first time in the ninja world that the Blood Pool was able to do so.
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Sasuke simply couldn't bear it anymore and slapped the table and laughed, "Sorry hahaha - I thought of happy things hahahaha!"
"It's a good thing to be happy, but Sasuke..." Ling turned to the direction of Sarutobi Sasuke, "I thought you were writing to me this time just to express your gratitude for what happened last time. Now it seems that you want to Can you introduce someone to me?"
"No, I really want to express my gratitude." Sarutobi Sasuke understood that this was Ling setting up a stage for him, so he no longer stopped at the door of the store, and also walked to the table and sat down, "But my new colleague is really too He's clingy, and as a senior, I can't shirk him, so I can only let him follow."
[Are you being watched... Well, although the daimyo made a bad move, the result was very beneficial to both of us. 】
Thinking of this, Ling stopped tapping the handle of the knife, "Then you are really in a dilemma as a senior... But this shouldn't affect the two of us, right?
Although I have much less things to do now than before, my schedule is still very full, so can we do it quickly without wasting time?This way I don't have to be so urgent, and you have enough time to deal with your clingy junior. "
Sarutobi Sasuke understood the implication of Ling's words and glanced at Bloodpool Shang who had completely focused on Ling again. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course, I just want to express my gratitude to you anyway. Let's talk about it. If what you want is within my capabilities, I will try to find a way."
"Well... then help me order a large batch of Nishijin fabrics? As the New Year is approaching, I want to help the tribe find some good kimonos and haori materials."
Sarutobi Sasuke was stunned. He was not sure for a moment whether the other party was discussing things with him using metaphorical metaphors or whether he was really asking for payment. "Well, I can help you with a small amount, but with a large amount... that thing So expensive.”
"I don't need you to come up with the money. You just need to help me find a way. Although we rely on commissioned tasks and our income fluctuates, we still have a little spare money." The smile on Ling's face spread. Come on, "Although Nishijin Ori [Note [-]] is precious, based on your relationship with the daimyo...hehe, don't say you can't do it."
"It's difficult to handle -" Sarutobi Sasuke crossed his arms and closed his eyes, making an appearance of embarrassment, "That thing is in short supply among the nobles every year."
But at the same time, his mind was frantically searching for all kinds of information he already knew - he had confirmed that Ling was negotiating terms with himself through the use of metaphors.
[Nishijin Ori... must be referring to ancient times. The clothes should be made by the people or ninjas he wants to talk about. Let's not mention people for now, the ancient ninjas of the Land of Fire...] Sarutobi Sasuke is still gentle Frowning, he tapped his arm with his fingers, [Is it Hagoromo?He wants me to mention Hagoromo more in front of the daimyo?Well, let’s confirm again. 】
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Sasuke raised his head and looked at Ling, "In the final analysis, Nishijin weaving just looks good, and those nobles buy it because they rely on their status. It is really a waste for you to buy this kind of fabric for your clan to make clothes. Ninjas are not good at it." They are all rough guys and don't have time to delve into the twists and turns of the nobles.
Although your inherent opponents cannot be said to know anything about this, they will not study it in such detail - not to mention that this kind of fabric is not suitable for sports, so don't spend money to complain. "
"Haha... You foreigners may not know that although our two clans fight fiercely, they will also hang out in the other clan's civilian market during the truce period at the end of the year." The smile on Ling's face spread, "Because at that time both sides They don't know how to do anything, so they have to find a way to overpower the opponent in terms of momentum, and the best way is naturally to work on their clothing.
If the other party can't understand it, naturally there are black marketeers and merchants who have settled down. As long as they take the news out and spread it to the ears of the nobles, our easy commissions in the coming year will fly over like snowflakes... After all, they always There are people who are willing to pay a lot of money for what they think is a mutual understanding. "
[Does he want me to push the Hagoromo clan to the side of the daimyo and make the Hagoromo clan become the opposite of the Senju clan again?Could it be that Uchiha began to feel unable to cope with the Senju clan and wanted to form an alliance with the Hagoromo clan? 】
Sarutobi Sasuke's expression remained unchanged, and he even had the heart to chat with Ling about the price of Nishijin weaving. [And if this is done, it will be equivalent to naturally losing the trust of the Senju clan. If I want to persuade the clan Leaving the family ninja mode, the family must have a strong enough backing after it is separated from the support of the nobles. The Senju clan has always acted properly, advanced and retreated in a measured manner, and is very tolerant. It should be the most suitable choice.
Ha, the current crisis and the hidden dangers in the future... The Uchiha family can really make people difficult, but this is indeed what they should do. After all, I want the Uchiha clan to attract the attention of the Blood Pond clan. , if you don’t find a helper for them, it will be really difficult to achieve their goal.
And with this balance, the relationship between the two parties will become more complicated and more stable, which will also be beneficial to the actions I want to take next... Well, I did it. 】
After making up his mind, Sarutobi Sasuke stopped engaging in the meaningless conversation and got to the point again, "Okay, okay, you are really stingy, 50 is just 50, I'll help you tell it, but at most it's I just got twenty or thirty pieces of Nishijin weaving, this thing is really in demand - do you have to pay for it out of my own pocket?"
"But isn't Sasuke here to thank me this time? If you want to thank me, then you should at least show some sincerity, right? After all, I have helped you so much."
Ling raised his eyebrows slightly, "Not to mention, I also introduced you to new friends at that time. Seriously speaking, Sasuke, you have more than one thing to thank me for."
Sarutobi Sasuke curled his lips, "Okay, okay, I can't talk to you, so let's do it. It will take me ten days and a half to complete your request. Should I contact you then, or should you give it to me when you are idle?" Send me a letter and we can make an appointment again?"
"Hmm...can you please make it into ready-made clothes for me? I will send you the sizes you need - here is the deposit, and I will make up the rest when I come back to pick up the clothes."
Sarutobi Sasuke: ...Okay, why did you take out so much at once?
After putting away the scroll containing the money, Sarutobi Sasuke was about to leave, but at this time, Blood Pool Shang, who had been silently observing Ling, suddenly said, "Hey, Lord Ling, you really don't want to mess with me. Friends?"
Ling Neng could clearly feel the strong hostility that erupted when the other party finished speaking, "Well, with your way of making friends... Whether you and I can become friends depends on your ability."
Blood Chishang licked his lips, and with a smile on his face, he leaned forward and shortened the distance between himself and Ling, "Okay, although it's a little troublesome, I also enjoy the fun of taking the initiative to make friends... ...So Ling, are you willing to reveal some information to your future best friend?"
Listening to the other party's increasingly heavy breathing and the sharply shortened safe distance, Ling became more and more alert. However, he was still sitting upright in his original position, with his hands folded and holding the staff and knife, and even his voice did not fluctuate even slightly compared to before. ——
"Okay, for some reasons, I plan to go to the Kingdom of Sichuan in March or April next year. If you still plan to make friends with me at that time, try your luck in the Kingdom of Sichuan. I will look forward to meeting Shang. .”
Blood Chi Shang was stunned for a moment, then sat back down and laughed strangely, "That's really great. I will definitely wait for your arrival in the Kingdom of Sichuan. We will definitely become friends by then. …”
"Well, that's why I said it all -" Ling had a helpless smile on his face, and his whole body was full of fighting spirit, "That depends on Shang's ability."
"Of course," Blood Pool Shang sat next to Ling very naturally, with a familiar tone, "We recognized each other the first time we met - Mr. Sarutobi, when did you meet Ling? Woolen cloth?"
Sarutobi Sasuke's forehead suddenly jumped, his body tightened unconsciously, and some bad feelings arose in his heart, "I won't happen to bump into someone's hand, right?" 】
