A person, no matter how critical he is or how vehemently he accuses others, cannot continue to be tough in front of a patient and sympathetic listener.
No one can avoid the pursuit of a sense of self-respect.
Fukawa Kotaro is not making things difficult, let alone making accusations. Sara only needs a little guidance and no interruptions during the conversation, and the other party can keep talking. A battle that goes back and forth and never gets tired.
She only needs to listen, but in the eyes of outsiders, she is the one who has the upper hand in the conversation, with a relaxed and leisurely posture.
She fit into the banquet perfectly. Who said she was out of place among a group of city lords?
Those who advocated giving Sara a little look stood there with faces as dark as the bottom of a pot. Others saw this and stayed away calmly.
The benefits are exciting, Sara is not as unbearable as they thought, and Fukawa Kotaro has already chatted with her, so it's not a big mistake for them to get involved.
They despise Sara for using monsters to fight, and question Sara's ability. Now that they can't do anything to her, they can't wait to see if they can get some benefits.
If they make good friends, they might be able to get help from monsters.
As long as this heart is together, it will be out of control.
"Easy to say, let's help each other from now on." She did not guarantee that she would not hit them. The prerequisite for not beating them was that they could really help each other.
One by one, the city lords participated in Sara's conversation, and they had a great time.
Sara spoke nicely, without any pretense of a woman, and several city lords burst into laughter. Fukawa Kotaro was a little unhappy when he was interrupted to talk about his achievements.
Sara also laughed. After laughing enough, he said goodbye and said, "The Emperor goes back to rest. It's getting late, so I have to go back. I have to return to Sara Kingdom tomorrow."
"Ai, why don't you stay in Chiyoda for a few days?"
"That's right, we hit it off right away and there's still a lot to talk about."
There are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Isolating her collectively, for the sake of profit, they can act like nothing happened. Shout out to her as brother and sister.
Ridiculous, but this is the norm for those in power.
Three poles higher than the moon, there were not as many people on the street as there were earlier, but there were still some wandering around on the street. They saw Sara coming out surrounded by a group of city lords.
Wearing fragrant clothes and hordes of servants, that is something they never dare to imagine in their lives. There is still a war going on outside. It is good to pray that they will not be involved. How can they expect to be like them.
Before boarding the carriage, the city lords and Sara reluctantly left.
While talking and laughing, they raised their chins slightly and laughed.
This scene was recorded by many people and spread everywhere the next day. However, these are all things for later.
Since Sesshomaru and Sara came together, they rode in the same carriage when they went back. When Sara was about to go up, a pair of big hands stretched out in front of her eyes, and she saw that they were Sesshomaru.
Seeing this, Lieutenant General Nakano Takuto silently took his steps back.
"Thank you." Sara's eyelashes trembled slightly and she put her hand into his.
After entering the carriage, the curtain fell. Sesshomaru looked back at those people, jumped onto the carriage with a slight jump, and stepped into the carriage.
Nakano Takuto got on his horse, nodded with the other city lords, and then drove the horse.
In just a few hours, the treatment before and after the banquet changed completely. Nakano Takuto was surprised. A surge of pride stirred in his heart, but he didn't show any of it in front of others.
In the carriage, Sara closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Sesshomaru thought of everything that happened at the banquet, and felt unspeakable in his heart.
In the past, he felt that she had some abilities, but she did not work so hard for those humans. Now, he only felt that she had such abilities, and maybe she could really make some achievements.
Human beings are insignificant, but the most gorgeous flowers bloomed in front of him.
The state of mind has undergone drastic changes early on.
Xijian had been waiting at his residence for a long time, and when he heard the voice he came out to greet him.
"Your Highness Sesshomaru, you are finally back!" Xie Jianben followed Sesshomaru voluntarily because he was handsome and powerful, and he missed you so much in such a short time.
Sesshomaru responded silently, crossing the porch and entering the courtyard.
The sky was dark, so Sara left only two maids and ordered the others to go down and rest: "Everyone has worked hard these days. Each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. After that, you can have a good rest. Butterfly will distribute the silver taels."
Everyone worked hard for this banquet.
Everyone couldn't help but feel happy when they heard this. They looked at each other and immediately knelt down: "Thank you, City Lord!" The voice was high and there was no sign of fatigue.
"Let's all go and rest."
The servants were tired from work, and Sara was tired too. After returning to the house and taking off all her clothes, she felt her whole body relaxed a lot.
"City Lord, thank you for your hard work." Hu took off his shoes for Sara and sighed softly.
No one was allowed to bring anyone to the banquet, so Hu couldn't follow her inside, so she waited outside. When she came out, she knew she was very tired.
"It's okay. You can go down and rest. Remember to distribute the rewards to others. Don't forget."
"That's what they should do. Why does the city lord let them do it like this?"
When Huo thought that Suo Luo was so tired and still wanted money, he became angry with the others who didn't have to fight. They are just waiting outside, so how much credit can they get?
Sara looked at Hu and didn't say much. She just said sadly: "You don't understand. When you get to Qiu's position, you may move. When you go back, learn from Qiu Duo."
She stopped Hu from continuing and motioned for him to lower the curtain.
Butterfly had no choice but to lower the curtains on both sides in turn.
"The slave is guarding outside. If the city lord needs anything, just call."
There was no echo from the bed curtain, so he bowed and stepped back.
Sara was lying on the bed with her eyes open, thinking about everything that happened today, realizing that there was nothing that needed to be corrected, so she closed her eyes with peace of mind.
Sara Kingdom has been preparing for this banquet for so long, and now the dust has finally settled. Not only Sara, but also everyone else has had a dreamless night.
The soldiers who took their turn to guard the gate worked diligently and brought enough peace to other people who were resting. It's rare to see a country like the Salo Kingdom united as one, with clear rewards and punishments. Many forces know all this through their eyes, and they can't help but sigh in their hearts.
The next day, Sara woke up to the cry of butterflies.
"City Lord, it's time to get up."
"What time is it?" Sara asked, yawning after not having such a good sleep for a long time.
Butterfly brought the warm water for Sara to wash up and replied: "It's eight o'clock."
The Warring States period on the island was actually not that old. At this time, there were already guns, and the advent of 24 hours was not far away. When she knew that there was such a good timer, she directly asked everyone below to use it.
Knowing that it was already eight o'clock, Sara washed her face quickly, got dressed and went out to eat under Butterfly's wait. After finishing the meal, it was time for the team to leave Chiyoda.
The soldiers and maids got up earlier than Sara. She went out to have breakfast, and they had already finished cleaning up. As long as Sara has eaten well, she can leave immediately.
After all, it is not their hometown, and the soldiers and maids are looking forward to leaving. As the saying goes, a golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse.
"But let me ask clearly, the old man will go to the shogunate today to ask for an audience." Sara finished breakfast, wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and asked Nakano Takuto.
Nakano Takuto stood behind Sara and lowered his head slightly: "We contacted a man named Koyama Teru next to Anfuzu Kohei and got the news that he will go to the shogunate today."
Realizing that the person behind her was hesitant to speak, Sara paused for a moment and signaled him to speak.
"City Lord, you don't know something. That Xiao Shanhui was the boy who took us to pick up the junk yard that day!"
"Huh?" Sara handed the dirty handkerchief to Hu, and when she heard her eyelids lifted, she let out a confused sound, "But I'll find out what the reason is."
If she remembered correctly, that boy should be from the inn. How could he happen to be the old man's friend? There could be a reason that she didn't know.
"Checked it, ugh."
Nakano Takuto had a strong opinion on that boy before, and he sighed for him within a few days.
After listening to him tell all the causes and consequences, Sara finally knew why.
At that time, I felt that Koyama Teru was hateful, but in fact, he was just pushed out as cannon fodder, a poor person. Not only did he lose his job, he was also blacklisted by all Chiyoda departments. Nakano Takuto sighed.
If there was no such blacklist, Xiaoshan Hui could clear up the relationship and find a good partner.
"His home is in that alley. He heard that we were trying to win over Anfuzu Hangping that day, and he decisively made friends with him. During this period, he said all kinds of good things about you, and even took the initiative to reveal the news here."
Nakano Takuto was careful in his words, not daring to add even a little bit of jealousy.
Along the way, he knew that Sara was not someone to be fooled.
"Okay, since you said something nice for him and he is willing to follow, let's go back with the team." Sara didn't know how Xiao Shanhui made the deputy general change his attitude, but he must be a ruthless character. If there is no problem If so, he is quite a useful talent.
"I would like to thank the city lord for him!" Nakano Takuto was excited, "Then, what about his family?"
"Bring it with you," Sara added, not wanting to put too much energy into this matter, "Whatever they need later, you can handle it yourself."
"Yes Yes Yes."
Looking at the deputy general's red face, Sara was really curious about one thing. Why was he so dedicated to Xiao Shanhui's affairs? What benefits did he give him?
Nakano Takuto was embarrassed and spoke coquettishly: "I, my and Xiaoshan Hui's sister..."
Needless to say what happened next, Suo Luo expressed his understanding, waved his hand funny, and asked him to go down and prepare.
Today she must bring Anfuzu Hangping back to the Sara Kingdom. In this case, the timing of departure must be grasped. She must appear when the other party is driven away by the shogunate soldiers. That is the best time to take him away.
When everything was ready, Sara knew that the old man had set off and ordered the team to set off immediately.
In order to avoid missing time, the team walked a little faster and stopped at the place where they last intercepted An Fuzu Hangping. Next to it was Xiaoshan Hui's home.
Xiao Shanhui happily arranged for his family to pack their luggage. When he came out and saw Sara's carriage, he immediately became serious.
"Eiko!" Takuto Nakano saw the woman behind Teru Koyama, jumped off his horse and hurriedly went to help get the luggage.
Keiko looked shy and waved her hand to avoid Nakano Takuto's extended hand: "Nakano, no need, I can do it myself. My brother and father are holding all the heavy things."
She found out from her brother Xiaoshan Hui that Nakano and the female city lord offered to let them follow, which was a waste of a lot of effort. He had done too much for their family.
Sara heard the noise while sitting in the carriage, opened the curtain, beckoned Butterfly to him, and whispered a few words.
Nakano Takuto snatched the luggage from Keiko's hand and heard the news from the soldiers around him.
He looked at Xiao Shanhui, handed the luggage in his hand to the soldier, then took away the soldier's luggage and led him to Sara's carriage.
"City Lord, I have brought Xiao Shanhui here."
"Um."
