"Nakatomi-sama, don't worry too much. It will take some time for the news here to reach Nara, and Nara still needs to investigate when they get such news, and they still have to go through their procedures. By the time they want to hold you accountable, it will take a while. It’s been a month.”
"As long as Nakatomi-sama can control the Niigata Prefectural Guards in this month, then the Nara side will be unable to do anything to you for a while. If they want to mobilize troops from elsewhere to attack you, it will be at least three or four months later. Three or four months later…”
At this point, Tang Ping's eyes flashed: "Three or four months later, the Suga clan may have paid the price for their evil deeds."
"You!" Nakatomi Yingzheng was surprised at first, and then thought about it. Only in this way can he continue to sit securely as the city lord.
And this world of Fusang must also escape from the control of the Suga clan.
After making up his mind, Nakatomi Hidemasa said to Tang Ping: "If you want to achieve great things, you'd better go to Makiki Mountain next to Niigata Prefecture to visit the famous pharmacist Erihi. If you can get the recognition and help of the pharmacist Erihi, then It will definitely be of great help in fighting against the Suga clan!"
"Yakushi Huiri?" Shanbei's eldest brother, Wang, exclaimed softly. Although his voice was small, it did not escape Tang Ping's ears.
Tang Ping turned to look at him: "Do you know him?"
"Gudong!" Shanbei's elder brother Wang swallowed his saliva and said, "More than ten years ago, my father asked him to be my teacher."
Well, from the look on his face, Tang Ping knew that this was the legendary teacher's phobia. Judging from Shanbei's eldest brother Wang's inability to turn around, he probably had to take medicine Hui's rule back then.
"Yakushi Eri-sama once served in Nara. He was also the first envoy to the Tang Dynasty. He is a famous scholar in Fuso. He is highly respected in the government and the public. Many people have received his guidance."
After saying this, Tang Ping understood that the pharmacist Huiri had a great influence in Fusang's political arena. If he could get his support, it would indeed be twice the result with half the effort.
"Where can I find the pharmacist Huiri?" Tang Ping asked.
Nakatomi Hidemasa pointed to the map of Niigata Prefecture in the Castle Lord's Palace and said: "Here at the junction of Niigata Prefecture and Gunma Prefecture, it is said that the pharmacist Ehihi lives in seclusion in Makiki Mountain."
"Okay, in this case, everything must be done sooner rather than later, let's set off now!"
Anyway, it was still morning, and they could still catch up on most of the day's journey. They could rush to the foot of Juanji Mountain today and start looking for people in the mountain tomorrow.
"I still need to resettle the victims and redistribute relief supplies, so I won't be with you all." Nakatomi Hidemasa said goodbye to several people.
Then he remembered something and hurriedly said: "I had a great conversation with this gentleman just now. Many of his words made me enlightened. I don't know what to call this gentleman."
"Ah, my name is Tokugawa Ieyasu, Nakatomi-sama, we are destined to meet again in the future."
"Lord Tokugawa, see you later."
After leaving the castle lord's mansion, the eldest brother Yamabei asked curiously: "Didn't you say your name was Oda Nobunaga last time?"
"If you look at the storybook, can the protagonist only have one pseudonym?"
Shanbei Brother Wang thought for a moment that this was indeed the case, so he no longer struggled with the problem: "Then do we really want to visit the pharmacist Huiri?"
Tang Ping knew what he was thinking by looking at him, and asked with a smile: "Isn't Prince Shanbei scared?"
"Afraid of...what are you afraid of?" Shanbei's eldest brother Wang said stiffly: "As a student of Master Hui Ri, the pharmacist, it is right to visit him."
A few people drove out of the city, and along the way they could see many people from Niigata County heading towards Niigata County after receiving the news. With the new supplies distributed, their lives could continue.
Shanbei's eldest brother, Wang, looked at the smiling faces of the passing people in the car and couldn't help but laugh.
When it was getting dark, they finally arrived at the foot of Juanji Mountain.
"There seems to be a home there!" Xue Rengui, who has the best eyesight, pointed to a place at the foot of the mountain and said.
Tang Ping and the others looked around and found that there were some faint lights there. It looked like it was going to rain that day. If they could find a place to stay, it would be better than sleeping in the open.
Driving a carriage over there, I discovered that it was actually a small independent courtyard by the river at the foot of the mountain.
There are fishing rods planted by the river, and a thatched shed is built on a stone table in front of the yard.
"This place is pretty good." Tang Ping, who likes to lie down the most, fell in love with this environment as soon as he saw it.
He walked to the door, knocked lightly and asked, "Hello, is anyone there?"
"Who is it? Here we come."
After a while, a little old man in clothes opened the door, looked at Tang Ping and others outside and asked, "What's the matter?"
"We wanted to visit friends on Juanji Mountain. Isn't it getting dark? So I was wondering if the old man could stay here for a night. Don't worry, we will pay for the room."
The little old man looked around at a few people before saying, "Okay, come in, but the house is simple and there are only two rooms."
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you can protect yourself from the wind and rain."
Tang Ping and the others parked the carriage outside. There was some fodder behind the carriage. Old Cui and Lao Du tied the horse and fed the fodder while touching the horse's neck.
Xiaoluo, on the other hand, borrowed the kitchen from the little old man and went to cook for everyone.
"Does the old gentleman live alone?" Tang Ping found that the old man was the only one in the huge yard.
"There is also a nephew who went into the mountains to collect medicine." The old man said calmly: "This Juanji Mountain is inaccessible. Do your friends really live in the mountains?"
This old man lived at the foot of the mountain, and he might know something, so Tang Ping also asked him: "Actually, I don't call him a friend. I was just introduced by someone and said that there is a reclusive famous pharmacist named Hui Ri on the mountain. No. Did the old gentleman know?"
"I don't know." The old man shook his head, and then said with ridicule: "Since you are living in seclusion, how can you be a celebrity? Is it because you are afraid that others will not know? I don't want to know this kind of person who is just fishing for fame."
Tang Ping scratched his head. The old man seemed to have a bad temper, but listening to his words, he didn't sound like a mountain villager.
Tang Ping casually asked some questions about Juan Jishan. If the old man was willing to answer, he would answer a few questions. If he was unwilling to answer, he would just say he didn't know.
At this time, Xiao Luo came in and said: "Sir, I made a fish soup with the mushrooms I picked, and then made some stir-fried venison, eggplant with pepper, fried minced pork with kimchi and stir-fried cabbage. Is that enough?"
Before Tang Ping could speak, the old man stood up first: "There are only a few people, so few dishes are not enough? Do you have wine?"
Tang Ping didn't expect the other party to be so rude, but he was a guest to begin with, so he smiled and said, "Of course there is, and the wine is good."
