Escape From Konoha

In front of the Daming Mansion of Wave Country, due to the noise of the people, the originally solemn and majestic place became as chaotic as a vegetable market.

"Damn it! Let the Daimyo come out and explain it to us!"

"That's right! Don't be a coward at this time. What's going on with the treasure house on the island?"

"Why don't you come out? You actually took our hard-earned money and stored it privately! What an unforgivable lord! It's a shame that we trusted you so much before!"

…

Such questioning voices came one after another, like cannonballs, hitting the daimyo who had not yet appeared one by one, tearing apart his hypocritical face.

Originally, they had no reason to inquire about the private property of famous people.

However, before that, the country of Waves was frequently attacked by pirates, which led to the Daming Mansion to organize militia several times to attack pirates in the surrounding waters. As a result, every attack failed.

In order to solve this problem, the daimyo and other nobles at the time donated their family wealth to appease the pirates who invaded the border of Wave Country.

Because of such actions, famous people and nobles won over a large part of the people's hearts.

Therefore, a large number of workers who built factories two years ago lost their jobs collectively, the workers' cooperatives were closed down after the year, and even taxes this year increased by 10%. They did not complain too much, and most of them only complained a few words in their hearts. If you live a simpler life and skip a few meals, you will eventually get through the day.

After all, they had heard that the daimyo and nobles also had light meals every day because of the empty treasury.

Such nobles who can share joys and sorrows with the people feel trust from the bottom of their hearts.

Each of them was so poor that they endured the increasing taxes year by year, and did not dare to starve the daimyo and nobles who had surrendered to pirates for the sake of the country's survival.

However, in the end, their trust was worthless and they were fooled like fools.

Initially they didn't believe it, but after Kesha showed evidence - one of the treasure boxes in the treasure house, which was engraved with the emblem of a famous family, and a large number of treasures, they couldn't help but not believe it anymore.

The thrifty aristocrats whose image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with their simple meals are richer than they imagined. Maybe somewhere they can't see, they are living and drinking every day, and they are secretly laughing at their ignorance and stupidity.

So what does it mean to crusade and appease pirates?

Isn't it a naked deception?

Once such doubts arise, they will become more and more powerful like a snowball.

In addition, the grievances of workers who had lost their jobs and the workers' and farmers' cooperatives were closed down were suddenly vented.

Protests and dissatisfaction also arose at this time.

Kesha was at the front of the crowd and was quite satisfied with the effect.

After all, no matter how you look at this kind of thing, the Daimyo of Wave Country is in the wrong first. Even if he doesn't spend money to avoid disasters, he will at least use the money to restore people's livelihood and development.

Almost all industries in the country have stopped functioning, and most migrant workers have become completely unemployed.

If this continues, it is estimated that many people will not survive next year, and there may even be a cruel phenomenon of selling children and daughters.

Take it from the people and use it for the people. This is the truth that Kesha realized in the book.

The wealth of daimyo and nobles was originally obtained from the people. Only by circulating it up and down and regulating it with the power of the state can the state machine be restored to life instead of half-dead.

The people pay taxes, and the daimyo and nobles are responsible for governance and making the country more prosperous. This is a simple truth.

And now in the Land of Waves, the only one who can do this and can still play a leading role is the daimyo of the Land of Waves.

Just when Kaisha fantasized about such a beautiful vision, a group of warriors suddenly rushed out from the gate of the mansion of the Daming Mansion.

When everyone saw that someone had finally come out, they wanted to continue speaking. However, the warrior leader glanced around with cold eyes and said in a cold voice: "Suppress all these untouchables and wait for their punishment!"

Under the command of the warrior commander, the rest of the warriors were like wolves in a herd of sheep, showing very ferocious faces.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't mess around!"

As soon as he said this, a samurai pulled out his sword with force from its scabbard. A man's teeth were knocked out, he vomited a mouthful of blood, let out a shrill scream, and passed out on the ground.

"ah!"

Seeing this group of warriors starting to beat people without listening to any excuses, the people in the crowd suddenly became panicked. Realizing that staying here was dangerous, they began to flee in panic.

However, it was still a step too late. This group of warriors moved faster than them and formed a surrounding net in advance. They punched and kicked the people in the circle until they vomited blood and fell to the ground and could no longer stand up.

This scene happened so suddenly that Kaisha was also stunned on the spot.

He didn't know why things turned out like this?

It was completely different from the scene he expected.

"Wait, stop fighting! Where are the daimyos? I have something to say to your daimyos!"

Kesha stepped forward to stop the group of warriors.

However, Kesha's words did not stop the cruel acts of violence committed by the samurai.

The samurai only obeyed the orders of the samurai commander and suppressed all the troublemaking people here with force, so that they could no longer say anything unfavorable to the great master.

"Damn it!"

Kesha also knew that his prediction was completely wrong.

The daimyo paid no attention to their protests and dissatisfaction, and did not even give them a chance to negotiate.

In other words, in the world of the nobles, they didn't have much thought to explain to the civilians below.

…

Hundreds of people gathered in front of the daimyo's mansion were all violently suppressed.

Except for a few fish that slipped through the net, all the people fell to the ground and howled, and were brutally beaten, and some were even dying.

A samurai who resolutely carries out his orders is merciless.

After all the commotion was over, the Daimyo of Wave Country slowly walked out of the main entrance. He looked at the troubled civilians in front of the mansion who had been suppressed, with a look of great satisfaction on his face.

The body of the attendant who followed beside him trembled slightly.

At first, he thought that the daimyo came out to stabilize the mood of the troubled civilians through verbal explanations, but he did not expect that the 'explanation' in the other party's mouth was to use force to solve the problem.

This also made the servant understand that the daimyo didn't pay attention to this group of people from the beginning to the end, and didn't even bother to open his mouth.

"My lord, this is Kesha, the fisherman who took the lead in making trouble."

The warrior leader grabbed Kesha by the hair and slammed his head on the ground, letting out a groan of pain.

His body was covered with bloodstains, and it was obvious that he had been taken care of by the warriors in every possible way.

"Make him look up."

The Nami country daimyo ordered lightly.

"yes."

Without hesitation, the warrior leader grabbed Kesha's hair and forced his head up.

Blood continued to flow from his forehead, causing most of Kesha's face to be stained red with blood. The bridge of his nose was also swollen and his nostrils were still bleeding. His lips were slightly trembling and open, and he no longer had the strength to speak.

Only a pair of eyes still showed an unyielding stubbornness, staring at Naomi Daimyo, as if he was questioning the other party, why did he do this?

The Daimyo of Wave Country covered his mouth and nose, and took a step back with some disgust, as if he felt that being in close contact with such a person would contaminate his body with something dirty.

"Put him in a cell and give him a good whipping. I still have something to ask him, just don't let him die."

"Yes. What about the rest of the people?"

the warrior leader asked.

"Throw them all away and let their family members come and lead them."

After saying this, the Daimyo of Wave Country slowly turned around and returned to the mansion under Kesha's angry eyes.

◎

"ah!"

In the dark and damp cell, Kaisha's whole body was fixed on a wooden frame, and his limbs were tightly bound with ropes.

The vicious whip kept hitting his body, ripping open his skin and flesh, and then cold water was poured on him, causing Kesha to suffer in endless pain.

From the moment he was put into the cell, Kesha didn't know how much time had passed. He only knew that the guards in the cell kept whipping him. Every time he passed out in pain, he would be immediately awakened by cold water. , cycle repeatedly.

In a daze, he heard the jailer respectfully shout "Daimyo-sama", and then he reluctantly raised his lowered head and saw a neatly dressed, majestic middle-aged man protected by two samurai. Down, into the cell.

It is the name of the country of Waves.

The Daimyo of Wave Country waved his hand, and the jailers nodded sensibly, and all exited the cells to make room.

Behind the Daimyo of Wave Country, only two trusted samurai were left to follow.

The Daimyo of the Country of Waves came to Kesha and looked at the tortured man in front of him. There was no mercy in his eyes, but only endless coldness.

Kesha gritted his teeth and refused to give in to the condescending look of the Daimyo of Wave Country.

And his look made the Daimyo of Wave Country instinctively disgusted.

But thinking of the purpose of his coming, the Daimyo of Wave Kingdom asked: "Your name is Kesha, right? Let me ask you, besides discovering the treasure house, have you discovered anything else?"

"Other...things?"

Kaisha was a little puzzled by the words of Daimyo of the Land of Waves.

"Do you still want to pretend? How did you solve the pirates on the island? Don't tell me that you solved them alone. Who else did you have with you?"

pirate? solve? Comrade?

The words of the Daimyo of Wave Country made Kesha feel even more inexplicable.

"I don't know what you are talking about... I discovered the treasure house of the great master by myself."

Kesha took everything towards himself.

The daimyo of Wave Country smiled coldly, not believing that Kesha alone could deal with the samurai and pirates there.

Even if you accidentally break into there, you will be killed on the spot by the guards there, and there will be no chance of escaping and causing public opinion.

"Are you really not going to tell me? If you tell me, I can spare your life."

The daimyo of the land of waves gave his own conditions.

Kesha did not speak, but kept thinking about the meaning of the words of the Daimyo of Wave Country.

That day, in order to save Dazna who was swept away by the whirlpool, he accidentally discovered a cave entrance on the seabed. Through the cave entrance, he discovered the treasure house of the famous family hidden inside the island.

He fought with the samurai guarding there and risked his life to kill the samurai.

Otherwise, he found no signs of piracy.

However, when the Daimyo of Wave Country asked this question, he was obviously sure that there would be pirates there.

Samurai...pirates...protecting the treasure house of great masters?

Kesha's body trembled as if struck by lightning, and endless waves surged in his heart. His eyes suddenly widened, and the eyes that looked at the Daimyo of the Land of Waves were full of shock.

The Daimyo... is colluding with the pirates who invade the border of Wave Country! ?

So what happened to the militia that the young men from the country of Shoami organized to fight against pirates?

If at that time, the daimyo was joining forces with the pirates, or it was a force cultivated by the daimyo mansion...

Kesha shuddered.

It seems that I missed some extremely important information from the beginning.

If this is true as I guessed, then the existence of the treasure house is natural.

The so-called appeasing the pirates is just a wealth transfer game played by the daimyo and the nobles.

"The pirates that have invaded Bian Town in recent years... are related to the famous family?"

Keisha asked this question with difficulty.

I guessed wrong from the beginning.

That treasure house was not a private collection of items, but property that had been transferred out in the past in the name of appeasing pirates.

He thought he was being arrested for interrogation and torture because he gathered a crowd to cause trouble.

In fact, no, the daimyo of Wave Country didn't care at all about the farce he was leading. What the other party cared about was whether the secret of the collusion between the daimyo and the pirates had been leaked through some channel.

He was regarded as the first suspect of leaking information, so he was imprisoned, not because of the ridiculous reason that he led the people to cause trouble.

It can even be said that the Daimyo of Wave Country did not pay any attention to his behavior of leading people to cause trouble. In the eyes of the other party, it was nothing more than a childish way for a child to lose his temper.

On the contrary, he exposed himself to a very dangerous situation.

"do not you know?"

Now it was the Daimyo's turn to be surprised.

He discovered the treasures stored there and killed all the samurai and pirates guarding them. On the contrary, raising such questions at this time made the Daimyo of Wave Country doubt whether his actions were unnecessary.

"Why? As a daimyo, why do you collude with pirates? You are a daimyo of the Land of Waves! How could you...how could you..."

Kesha gritted his teeth and asked, and you could hear the anger in his voice.

He didn't know what the Daimyo of Wave Country was questioning, but the other party's behavior touched the bottom line of Kesha's heart.

Colluding with pirates and harming the people of one's own country, what good is it doing to the other party? It is not beneficial at all to this country.

Due to the lack of young people, the economy of the Kingdom of Waves retreated rapidly. Then the black industry began to take hold. A large number of workers were unemployed. Coupled with heavy taxes, many people were no longer able to support their families and were even oppressed by gangs. Many families were on a dead end.

And all of this was caused by the daimyo of the land of waves in front of him.

He is the culprit of the country's decline!

"Why not? Who told the debt collectors in the Kingdom of Ghosts to press too hard at that time? As long as they 'disappear' the money in their hands reasonably, there is no need to rush to pay back the money. This method is indeed very effective, the Ghost Country The debt collectors in China are also not in a hurry to collect debts, and let this place go."

The Namanokuni daimyo has been proud of his wonderful idea more than once.

And this kind of reason is obviously not acceptable to Kaisha.

"Then there is no need to organize the militia to hunt down pirates and die..."

Kesha's eyes widened angrily.

"If you don't act more realistically, how can you fool those smart debt collectors? Facts have proved that my decision was not wrong. The debt collectors of the Kingdom of Ghosts even dared to collect debts from the famous government of the Kingdom of Wind. He’s a ruthless character.”

Speaking of this, the daimyo of the land of wave is somewhat lingering, and he also feels prescient for his cautious actions in advance.

Although some members of the Lonely Island Merchant Alliance are cooperating in it, being able to use the pirate forces organized by these merchants to transfer their wealth reasonably can be regarded as taking advantage of the other party.

If there is really no money, the Ghost Country can't keep an eye on this country all day long, right?

The only pity is that the merchant alliance was destroyed not long ago, and his plan to free up the base and let them build a second isolated island was shattered. The benefits promised to the famous names and nobles of Wave Country after betraying the national interests naturally also Disappeared with the demise of the Merchant Alliance.

This made the Daimyo of Wave Country very upset, but he was also glad that he abandoned the merchant alliance in time, otherwise if he was liquidated by the Kingdom of Ghosts, the consequences might be more troublesome than debt collection.

However, there is no need for the daimyo of Namachi to explain this kind of thing to a prisoner under his rank.

He just wanted to know if anyone else knew the information about his collusion with the pirates outside.

If there is, it is necessary to kill and silence as soon as possible, and wipe out all the insiders.

This matter is much more serious than after the treasure trove was leaked.

A single carelessness will cause violent turmoil in the Kingdom of Waves.

"Just for this reason..."

The anger in Kesha's eyes seemed to be swallowing up the Daimyo of Wave Country.

I feel unworthy of those young people from the Kingdom of Waves who died in the conspiracy of the daimyo of the Country of Waves. They fell into the trap of pirates and died for such ridiculous reasons.

Even the people were completely fooled, believing that it was the Daimyo of Wave Country who spent money to avoid disasters, allowing the dilapidated Wave Country to rest and recuperate, and even labeled the other party as 'wise'.

Kesha couldn't understand the behavior of the Daimyo of Wave Country. What did he regard as human life, and what did he regard as his own country?

With such a person leading the country's destiny, will the people living in this country really hope for a good life?

The country and the people are just tools used by the other party for profit and betrayal.

Why did this kind of guy become a famous figure in the country? Instead of letting truly wise people guide this country?

Kesha had such a question.

Then the answer points to one point - the other party has the most orthodox bloodline in the Country of Waves, and it is natural that he will take over the position of daimyo from the previous daimyo of the Country of Waves.

No matter how strong or weak his ability is, no matter what his character is, as long as he has the connection of this important bloodline, the other party will be the legitimate name of the Country of Waves and cannot be changed.

The sad thing is that such a rightful statement has never been questioned. Among the people at the bottom, they also believe that this is an eternal truth. The blood of nobles is nobler than that of common people. They do not think this is wrong, but take it for granted. correct.

Why are daimyo and nobles so unscrupulous, playing with the country and people in the palm of their hands?

Kesha suddenly understood the answer to the question that had troubled him for a long time.

I, or other people living at the bottom, have too many beautiful and naive visions for things that I shouldn’t have any illusions about.

There is not enough independent consciousness to reverse the eternal 'truth' and refute the 'bloodline' that should be like this.

People must pay the price and sacrifice for their ignorance.

Thinking of this, Kesha's eyes darkened.

I realized it was too late.

If I could have understood earlier, I would not have chosen to lead the people to protest against such a naive and stupid approach, and also brought myself into it.

With such naive thoughts, I can be described as an out-and-out idiot.

The answer Miss Yiji wanted to tell me that day was probably this. Kesha smiled bitterly.

Just understanding the answer to the question, the price was a bit too heavy, it was his life.

"Are you still unwilling to tell who your accomplices are? You are really a tough guy, even after being beaten like this. But I don't believe that your bones are really made of steel."

Seeing the scars on Kesha's body, the Daimyo of Wave Country knew how harshly this man had been tortured before.

But the other party's firm will did not attract his appreciation, but he found it ridiculous.

He didn't know that he could persist in this pointless act of stupidity.

He didn't believe that human will could overcome the instruments of torture here.

"Would you like to verify it yourself to see if my bones are made of steel?"

Kesha raised his head and smiled with difficulty.

To the Daimyo of Wave Country, this smile was full of mockery, as if suggesting that he could intensify the torture.

"There are also accomplices and so on. I have no idea what you are asking. I discovered the treasure house alone, and I killed the guards there. No one else helped."

Seeing that Kaisha was so indifferent, the Daimyo of Wave Country seemed to know that he wouldn't be able to ask anything useful in a short time.

This was the first time he had seen someone as tough as Kesha.

"Somebody come!"

The voice of Namiya Daimyo spread far away.

Several jailers entered the cell and came to the Daimyo of Wave Country, waiting for orders.

"Torture him for me. You must ask him to beg for mercy within two days! As long as you don't die, you can do anything!"

"yes!"

Several jailers showed piercing smiles.

Kaisha also laughed along with the group of jailers, his smile was full of calmness willing to die.

◎

As a result of going to the famous family to protest, no one expected that it would end like this.

Kaisha, who took the lead, was arrested, and his life and death are unknown.

The rest of the people were violently suppressed by the warriors and then thrown out. They were taken back by their families, and a large amount of medical expenses were incurred to treat their injuries.

The Dazuna family.

Dazna naturally also heard about this matter, and the result of the matter was beyond his imagination, and it was completely different from Kesha's initial conception.

In the fantasy, the daimyo's compromise did not happen, but suppressed the turmoil with an extremely tough attitude. Even Kesha's life and death were now uncertain, which made Dazna very panicked.

Therefore, after Kesha went to prison, Dazna has been fidgeting at home, not even drinking his usual wine, thinking about what to do next.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden commotion outside.

"Dazuna!"

Hearing someone calling his name, Dazna raised his head and looked at the door that had been pushed open. A group of people came in one after another, aggressively.

The leader is friend Keech, who is smiling wryly.

Compared to Kiki, the people who surrounded him had indignant faces, many of them were still gnashing their teeth, and their eyes were red, making Dazner confused.

"Sorry, Darzner, I've let things out."

Keech came to Dazner and apologized.

"Things? What things have been said? Also, what are you doing together?"

Dazner was confused, unable to understand what Keech was talking about.

"It was the anecdote that I overheard by chance when I accompanied you to meet Miss Yiji a few months ago."

Keech said cautiously.

A few months ago... I went to see Miss Ichiki... The secret I overheard... The three key pieces of information were chained together, making Dazuna understand what Kiki had revealed, and his face changed slightly.

As for the so-called secret, Dazner naturally knew that it was not something that could be revealed casually.

A few months ago, because of the need for business negotiations to build a factory, he took Kiki to negotiate some business matters with Yiji. Halfway through, a ninja from the Kingdom of Ghosts hurriedly broke in and accidentally revealed The extremely confidential information that 'the daimyo of the land of waves and the pirates who attacked the border of the land of wave's collusion' came out.

Because it was a one-sided rhetoric, Dazna did not delve into this matter, and gradually forgot about it later.

Telling things that have no basis will cause a lot of trouble.

But he didn't expect that Kiki would reveal the matter at this time.

"Dazna, is what Kiki said true? We need an answer!"

A man about the same age as Tatsuna asked with red eyes.

He was also a worker in Dazna's work group. Both of his sons died at the hands of pirates, leaving only women and children at home. The family situation was quite similar to Dazna's.

He knew that this old man had always hated the pirates of the Country of Waves.

If there is a big name behind this, it is not difficult to imagine what crazy things this old man will do.

Because this old man is just a microcosm, there are many more family men who died in the battle with pirates.

They have an unresolved hatred with pirates!

If everything points to the Daimyo, it will not just be a simple protest march, but the country of Waves will usher in unprecedented riots and chaos!

Being questioned like this, Dazna was a little at a loss.

"Tell us, Dazna, is what Kitchen said true?"

The rest of the workers also started questioning.

They want to know the answer.

Their family members all died in the process of fighting against pirates. They must ask clearly. Their family members cannot die in such an unclear manner.

Dazna hesitated.

"I-I don't know either."

Dazna's answer was unsatisfactory.

"How could you not know? It was you and Kesha who discovered the treasure house in the first place, right? At first, I was still doubting why the great master who had spent all his money on appeasing the pirates could still hide so much wealth. Now. Look, this is basically a trick between them! Not only were we deflected, but many people died!"

One worker had a fierce look in his eyes, as if he wanted to kill someone.

"Yes, why among all the people who made trouble in the past, only Kesha was arrested? It is probably because the daimyo had something in his heart that he did this. Dazna, now is not the time to hesitate, we must get to the truth of the matter Find out, if the daimyo acts faster than us, all of us will have to wait for death! Because we were the first ones to discover the treasure house!"

Another worker spoke up, explaining the stakes.

When Dazna saw everyone's eyes focused on him, he knew that he couldn't hide it, and the fact was true, he was also worried about this matter.

He gritted his teeth and replied: "I don't know what happened specifically, but Kiki is right. Miss Yiji's men did say at that time that our name had colluded with the group of pirates outside. . Just because of the lack of evidence, I don’t want to make things bigger.”

"That's enough. Next, we go to the Aster Flower Merchant Association branch in the Country of Waves for verification! No matter what, this matter must be investigated clearly!"

One worker clenched his fists and made the suggestion.

"Yes, go to Mr. Cardo to verify the answer! The news came from them, they must know more inside information!"

If it weren't for Baoku and Kesha, they wouldn't do such an irrational move.

But whether it is the treasure house hidden by the Daimyo of Wave Country or the arrest of Kesha, there are many doubts.

Looking at the excited workers, Dazna knew that things were really getting serious.

◎

Just after dinner, it was completely dark.

Caddo personally received the menacing group of workers.

Dazna was among them, but compared to the other workers, he was the calmer one.

"It's so late. What do you want to do here? We are negotiating with the officials of the Country of Waves regarding the workers' cooperative, and there will be a result soon."

Kado's eyes behind his sunglasses stared at the group of workers, not showing a condescending attitude, just a businesslike look.

"Mr. Cardo, the reason why we came to visit so late this time is not because of the workers' cooperative, but because of the famous name."

Dazna sighed, took the initiative to stand up, and spoke on behalf of the workers.

"It's about the Daimyo? So, what do you want to ask?"

Cardo appropriately expressed doubts in his tone and continued the conversation.

"Um... Mr. Cardo knows about the pirates near the waters of the Kingdom of Waves, right?"

Dazuna asked cautiously.

Cardo pondered for a moment, and then said: "Those pirates who are misbehaving? I do know that when they first came to this country, they caused us very little trouble. But after they showed their force, they stopped You dare to come here and cause trouble for us. What, why are you asking about this?"

Dazna continued to ask: "We want to know if there is any ulterior deal between the daimyo of our country and those pirates? Please, please tell us the answer. This is very important to us. important!"

With that said, Tatsuna put on a requesting attitude.

The same goes for the rest of the workers, hoping that Cardo can tell them the answer.

Cardo looked at the workers who had the same attitude and just stood there without moving. Only his expression changed slightly, but it quickly disappeared.

However, such a subtle change in expression could not escape the eyes of the workers and was noticed.

"About this matter...because it involves some personal matters of your country, logically, we from the Kingdom of Ghosts have no reason to get involved. In addition, the Kingdom of Fire has been putting pressure on us...at my level. , I can’t reveal too much on my own initiative. How about I let the eldest lady come out and answer it for you?”

Cardo frowned in embarrassment and finally said this.

"Miss Yiji?"

"Yes, because of the closure of the workers' cooperative, the eldest lady was forced to return to the Country of Waves early and is negotiating with the officials of the Country of Waves. Forget it, if you have any questions, it's better to ask the eldest lady."

Kado clapped his hands and asked the servants in the mansion to invite Yiji, the person in charge.

The workers stood in the living room waiting.

In less than a minute, Yiji, led by a servant, came to the living room and saw a group of workers headed by Dazna.

"Mr. Dazna, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you have something to do with me? If it is because of the workers' cooperative, there is no need to be so anxious. The official side of the country of Waves has negotiated very smoothly. In another half month, it will be almost the same. It can be unblocked.”

This was the first thing Ichiji said when she came here, and it had the same meaning as what Kado said.

Apart from this, there must be no other reason to mobilize troops here.

"It has nothing to do with this matter. The purpose of our coming here is just to know whether there is any collusion between the daimyo and the pirates who attacked the border of Wave Country. Because it was revealed that the daimyo still had a treasure trove, and Kesha is now arrested, We seriously suspect that those big names and nobles have done many shameful things behind our backs."

Dazna and the rest of the workers looked at Kazuki expectantly, hoping that the other party would give them an accurate answer.

"Didn't expect Mr. Darzner to remember that."

Yiji looked a little surprised.

"Because it's too amazing, even if it's been a few months, it's impossible to forget. But it's just a suspicion."

Dazuna smiled bitterly.

"That's it."

"So, Miss Ichiji, can you tell us the answer?"

"Although I don't want to expose this kind of thing, but since you are here, you will definitely not let it go when you go back... Moreover, I have also heard a little about Mr. Kesha, which is indeed a pity. Then Well, I'll tell you the truth about it, it's true."

Kazuhime nodded earnestly, admitting that the Namikoku daimyo had colluded with the group of pirates outside, and the situation was true.

All of a sudden, the pot exploded directly among the workers' groups.

But Dazna remained calm and said, "This matter is of great importance, Miss Yiji, do you have evidence to prove it?"

"There are human witnesses, but only part of the physical evidence has been collected. The other part of the evidence is probably hidden by the daimyo. However, it is also very simple to prove the authenticity of the matter. If the daimyo of Wave Country has something in his heart, he will take Kai Mr. Sha is being detained. Then, as long as Mr. Kesha is rescued, you will know by questioning him face to face. But it is best to act quickly. If you are slow, Mr. Kesha's life will be in danger."

Yiji analyzed rationally.

Sure enough, after hearing Yiji's words, the workers were ready to take action.

"But to be honest, with your abilities, it is difficult to rescue Mr. Kesha from prison. There are a large number of guards guarding the prison in Daming Mansion. It is not easy to rescue people from it. matter."

Yiji poured cold water on the workers to calm them down.

At this time, Dazuna took a deep breath, bowed to Ichiki, and solemnly requested: "I know it's presumptuous, but can I ask Miss Ichiki to rescue Kesha? Please!"

"please!"

The other workers also followed suit and made a sincere request.

Seeing the workers' sincere request, Yiji's expression remained unwavering. She just rubbed her brow and said softly: "I'm sorry, although I personally admire Mr. Kesha very much, but if I do this, it will destroy both countries. Diplomatic relations between us. Let’s do this, I can provide you with an appropriate opportunity, and it’s up to you to rescue Kesha yourself.”

"Creating opportunities?"

"Yes. Tomorrow I will ask Cardo to invite the Daimyo of the Kingdom of Waves out. By then, the Daimyo's defense will be very weak, which is your chance to rescue Kesha."

"But……"

"We will provide maps and weapons. But please declare in advance that if an accident occurs, we will not admit that we will fund weapons and maps for you. You will bear the consequences yourself."

Ichiki's face was solemn, indicating that the Demon Country would stay out of the matter and would not interfere openly.

Even if there is a problem, he will not admit that the prison robbery has anything to do with him.

Many workers nodded and began to discuss the feasibility in low voices.

Dazna felt something was not right.

But he couldn't tell what was strange about it.

"Well, that's it. Everyone, please go back and discuss tomorrow's rescue operation. I will send someone to deliver the map and weapons later."

"Okay, thank you very much, Miss Yiji."

The workers turned around and left honestly. Although many of them, like Dazna, had doubts in their hearts, when they saw someone taking the lead to leave, they had no choice but to follow them, thinking that rescuing Kesha was more important at the moment.

Dazna looked at the workers who took the initiative and left obediently. Suddenly, his heart felt cold, and he suddenly understood something.

Turning around, I happened to see Yiji's eyes looking directly at her.

There was something extremely terrifying brewing in the bottomless depths of his eyes, as if a ferocious beast was grinning at him, and Dazna's scalp went numb for an instant.

"Mr. Dazna, is there anything else? If there is anything you don't understand, I can answer it in detail."

A faint smile appeared on Ichiki's face, and she spoke these words as if she had read through Tazuna's inner thoughts.

Dazna's body trembled.

"No, it's okay. I'll take my leave, too, Miss Yiji."

Dazna said this in a panic, turned around and ran away.
