"Huh! Let's finally set off." On the carriage, the eldest brother from Shanbei let out a deep breath.
After agreeing to go find Emperor Suiko's chamberlain, Yamabeo Brother and the others were kept for three more days.
The two old men said they would teach him some more things, so he suffered another three days of torture.
How could he not be happy now that he could finally leave.
"Aichi..." Tang Ping didn't know much about this place. The only thing he knew about this place was that there was one called Aichi Star when he watched Slam Dunk.
"Have you been there?" he asked Shanbei's eldest brother.
Yamabeka's elder brother shook his head: "I have never been there, but it is close to Ise Bay and the shrimps there are very delicious. In the past, shrimps from Ise Bay were sent to Nara as tribute every year."
After speaking, he looked at Xiaoluo flatteringly and said: "Miss Xiaoluo, when you arrive in Aichi, please use the shrimps from Ise Bay to make the buttered shrimp you made last time!"
Thinking of the buttered shrimp he had last time, his mouth watered.
Tang Ping rubbed his Yang points: "Shouldn't we go find someone first?"
"Don't worry!" Shanbei Brother Wang patted his chest and said, "Don't you think we are very lucky? We said we were looking for Medicine Master Huiri, but before we even went up the mountain, Medicine Master Huiri came down by himself."
"So after we go to Aichi this time, we will definitely be able to find the chambermaid Inugami-sama mentioned right away."
Tang Ping didn't know where he got his confidence, but thinking about it, wasn't he the same?
So she ignored him and leaned against the car wall, picking up a storybook and reading.
When I went to Aichi, I also passed through Shizuoka Prefecture. Now Shizuoka Prefecture has become the sphere of influence of the Mononobe family.
It's just that Mononobe's promise is no longer here. He probably went to Nara to discuss with the Mononobe family about forming an alliance with Tang Ping and the others.
Tang Ping is not worried about whether the Mononobe family will agree in the end, because in his view, agreeing to form an alliance is the last and best chance for the Mononobe family to turn around.
But if the other party is really sick and refuses to agree to the alliance, he can also secretly transfer people from Chang'an to clear out the Soga family's power in Nara and send Yamagata's elder brother to the position of emperor.
It's just that if you do that, it will be true. After all, Datang still claims that it will never interfere in the internal affairs of other countries.
At least that's the case on the surface.
Hurrying slowly all the way, they finally arrived in Aichi County. However, when they arrived in Aichi County based on the address provided by Inugami Mita, they discovered that the area had collapsed due to the last earthquake.
After asking around, no one knew whether the people inside were dead or alive, and if they were alive, where they had gone.
"What should I do?" Shanbei's eldest brother, who was full of confidence at first, was also dumbfounded.
"Let's stay here first, and then we'll look for it slowly." Tang Ping looked at the portrait given to him by Mita Inugami.
I have to say that the painting is very good. I’d better not paint it next time.
Anyway, Tang Ping was not confident that he could find the person based on the appearance in the portrait.
In desperation, several people could only find a hotel to stay.
Early the next morning, when Tang Ping got up, he met Shanbei's eldest brother, Wang, who was about to go out.
"Where are you going?" Tang Ping asked.
"Looking for someone!" Shanbei's eldest brother said, "It's not long before the agreed time. We need to find the person quickly."
"How do you find it?" Tang Ping asked again.
"I'll just..." Shanbei's eldest brother Wang thought for a moment and said, "Let's just rely on luck!"
Tang Ping shook his head: "We are going to find him, I'm afraid it will be a bit troublesome. Don't forget, he escaped from Nara back then. After so many years, he probably feels that Soga Ezo has not given up looking for him."
"So if it were you, what would you do if you knew someone was coming for you?"
This time, Shanbei's elder brother Wang realized the idea: "Hide!"
After he finished speaking, he rubbed his hands and said, "It's really troublesome to say that. So what should we do?"
In his opinion, no matter what kind of trouble he encountered, Tang Ping seemed to have a way to solve it. Unexpectedly, this time Tang Ping also spread his hands and said, "I don't know!"
He really didn't know. The earthquake was so chaotic at that time that he didn't even know whether the chamberlain was dead or alive. Even he didn't have any good solution.
But he still has a clue, that is, the servant was stabbed hard in the back and almost died.
It was Inugami Mita Shu who saved him, so there is a long knife mark on his back, which is the only clue now.
"There are about one or two thousand people in Aichi County now, and the number of men is estimated to be a thousand." Yamabei's eldest brother, Wang, broke his fingers and said: "It's autumn now, and we can't let them go to the river to bathe. What should we do with this?" Their backs?”
"Wait!" Tang Ping stopped Shanbei's eldest brother, "What did you just say?"
"I said to look at their backs..."
"That's right!" Tang Ping patted Shanbei's eldest brother Wang heavily on the shoulder: "We're done if we let them take a bath in front of us."
After hearing Tang Ping's words, Shanbei's eldest brother Wang looked at him with some horror, and then couldn't help but shudder.
"You...you don't have that kind of hobby, right? Let me tell you, I...I actually like women..."
"Pa!" Tang Ping gave him a shock: "What the hell are you thinking? I and my children are already good at making soy sauce."
"Why use soy sauce? What mistake did soy sauce make?"
"Stop interrupting!" Tang Ping glared at this idiot: "As long as we open a bathhouse, can't we let people in the city come here to take a bath?"
"What is a bathhouse...?" Shanbei's eldest brother Wang said that this was also a blind spot in his knowledge.
It’s not his fault. Although Fuso Hot Spring is rich in resources, the emergence of bathhouses had to wait until the eighth century AD.
During the Nara period in the eighth century, Buddhism was introduced to Japan. The temple stipulated that monks could only worship gods and Buddhas after washing their bodies.
Therefore, there are various complete bathhouses in the temple. It is also a charity organization that provides people with free clean facilities for fasting and bathing, which is called "bathing". This is also the prototype of the ancient Fuso bathhouse.
Tang Ping roughly described the appearance of the bathhouse to Shanbei's eldest brother, Shanbei, who asked with some confusion: "But are people willing to take a bath together?"
Tang Ping looked at him like a fool and said, "Do you think everyone lives in a compound like you and has a special bathing room? How do you think people take baths in summer?"
Only then did Brother Shanbei remember that he had indeed seen many people bathing in the river in the summer.
"Are you sure the person we are looking for will come to take a shower?"
"I'm not sure, so I can only think of ways to attract more people from Aichi to take a bath. Whether I can find him in the end depends on God's will."
"But... do we still have money to open the bathhouse you mentioned?" Shanbei's eldest brother Wang thought for a while and asked. He had witnessed Tang Ping's search along the way, and Tang Ping's explanation was that he had no money.
"I didn't, but you did!" Tang Ping chuckled and said, "Don't think that I don't know. Master Hui Ri, the pharmacist, gave you a lot of money. I won't let you pay back the money first. Just bring the money." If we open a bathhouse, each of us will own half of the shares."
"I paid for it, why should I give you half of the shares?"
"I took the notice, and I am also responsible for the subsequent operations, so it is reasonable for me to share half of the shares, right?"
Shanbei Brother Wang thought about it and it seemed reasonable, so he nodded in agreement.
