Bamboo branch girl

Waking up early in the morning, Takehime dragged Tianxie Guihuang to the old royal palace in Kumamoto Castle.

Takehime is very familiar with Kumamoto Castle, because she has been here more than once, and even developed feelings for it.On the snow by the dungeon of the palace, she drew a big circle with branches.

"Draw a circle here." Zhuji said while pointing to the piece of snow while thinking brokenly.

"Enclosure farming?"

"wrong."

"It must be raising chickens, ducks, and birds."

"Wrong wrong."

"Dig fish ponds to raise fish?"

"Not at all."

Tianxie Guihuang couldn't guess, so he didn't say anything, and directly shifted his attention to the other dungeons, saying: "There are buildings in this land, should we demolish them and rebuild them?"

Zhuji took out a piece of gold from her sleeve, stuffed it into Tianxie Guihuang's pocket, and said, "I want to use this money to buy slaves. This large piece of land is for slaves to live in. I thought about it before, but it didn't come true. "

"Buy slaves? What else can humans do besides doing some physical work?" Tianxie Guihuang was not sensitive to things like money.

Gold and silver are just used to exchange for something you need.For monsters, it would be fine to grab what they want directly, but it will take some energy and time, and it will save trouble if you spend money.

"The slaves I'm talking about are not only human beings, but also monsters." Zhuji tapped on the branches, "Those who are in urgent need of food or who are persecuted can come to work with me."

"But generally those powerful monsters don't obey and command, and weak ones become slaves. Isn't it a little naive for you to ask a weak monster to work for you?" Tianxie Guihuang poked Zhuji's Head, secretly said she said stupid.

"Actually, it's the same for human beings." Zhuji puffed up her cheeks and said, "It's winter now, and there are a lot of slaves who can't fill their stomachs."

"That's right, we're starving to death ourselves, we don't even have a person, and we don't have any meat." Tian Xie Gui Huang said with a smile.

"Do you have to eat meat? Eating tree roots can also fill you up." Zhuji stood on tiptoe, desperately pounced on Tianxie Guihuang, "Brother, come with me to the nearby Fushimi Castle to see the slave trading ground."

Tian Xiegui Huang thought she was overdressed and it was tiring to lift her up, so he refused to lift her up.

It's too good at acting like a baby to put on a cute expression when you can walk by yourself.It is a fantasy for such a person not to be favored by others, so why would anyone want to kill her?

It's a little scary. Could it be that the person who buried her in the soil has a deep hatred for her?

Unexpectedly, while Tianxie Guihuang was thinking, Zhuji had already climbed onto his shoulder and sat down.

"Hey, hey, let me tell you, you are not a child anymore, you should be more ladylike in skirts." Tian Xie Gui Huang couldn't help but complain.Since meeting this girl, his complaint skills have improved a lot.

Zhuji slid from Tianxie Guihuang's shoulders to his arms, asking him to be hugged by the princess, and then shyly said: "I don't know how to fight, brother has to protect me well."

"You don't know how to fight... just kidding..." Tianxie Guihuang let go of his voice and laughed hahaha.

Zhuji was stunned: "Eh? Isn't it? Those who wield knives and guns can't do it at all, because my father wanted me to be a lady since I was a child. I can't hold any knives except for touching kitchen knives when cooking. gone."

"Where's the axe?"

"Axes are toys, not knives."

"..."

Well, he has nothing to say.Every rebuttal he made ended in failure, whether it was against the little brothers or Zhuji.

*******

Fighting all the way, talking and laughing, they rushed from Kumamoto Castle to Fushimi Castle.

There is not much snow in Fushimi Castle, and there are few places where it freezes. The climate is much warmer than that of Kumamoto Castle, probably because it is located a little further south.

They stopped at a place where timber was piled up at the gate of the city.Seeing that all the people entering the city were neatly dressed, Zhuji looked at the tattered clothes on her body again, feeling embarrassed.

"Let's change our clothes." Zhuji suggested.

Tianxie Guihuang nodded, waiting for what Zhuji pulled out from her sleeve.

She dug into her sleeves for a long time, and what she took out was a set of purple men's clothing, followed by a golden silk kimono for women.

Tianxie Guihuang took Zhuji to the nearby woods to change clothes, and turned his face away to watch the wind for her.After she finished changing, Tianxie Guihuang put on the suit given by Zhuji, during which Zhuji secretly glanced at him several times.

"Girls, don't peek at the guy's clothes! The pattern embroidered on the clothes is exquisite, but are you sure it's not a beggar's outfit? And it's the latest one?" Tian Xie Gui Huang looked left, right, up and down, the fabric was good, But why are there so many patches?

"This is the broken clothes left by Lord Heaven's Punishment when he dropped the formation. I sewed them piece by piece." Zhuji said proudly.

There was a black line on Tianxie Guihuang's forehead: "Put back on my robe..."

Returning the robe is more fashionable, and looks more like a rich man, so he won't be looked down upon at the slave market in Fushimi Castle.

Speaking of which, he really doubted that the little guy Zhuji had the ability to turn gold into gold, otherwise he wouldn't have a steady stream of gold, and he wanted to learn it someday.

Walking into the city gate, Zhuji suddenly covered her face with her sleeves, hiding behind Tianxie Guihuang and never dared to raise her head.The soldier guarding the gate looked at her suspiciously, but because he couldn't see her face clearly, and because there was a tall and tall man beside her, he didn't stop her.

That day, after Xie Guihuang accidentally saw the portrait in the hands of the gatekeepers, he instantly understood something.

——I'm afraid this woman is no longer as simple as a monster.

He took the initiative to hug Zhuji, and covered her whole face with his robe, so that at least she could avoid the eyes of some people.

It is a general who manages the slave trading point.Zhuji didn't know him, and he didn't pay much attention to the girl in a man's arms, so he let them pass easily.

After arriving at the trading place and meeting the boss who came to greet the guests, Zhuji breathed a sigh of relief.

The boss is a fat middle-aged man with a shiny gold necklace around his neck.

"...do you want serfs or animal slaves?" The boss said with a smile on his face, poking his hand.The girl in gold silk... must be a big client!

Zhuji jumped down from Tianxie Guihuang's embrace, and glanced at the slaves locked in the cage.Visually, there are men here, most of them are very thin, wearing a thin and ragged clothes, a group of people huddled together in the cold weather.

"Anything else?"

"We still have play slaves here."

"Play slave?"

"Well, um, they're absolutely clean and never polluted." The boss explained, "Simply put...the kind used to warm the bed at night, and they're generally good-looking."

"If you want to warm the bed, my elder brother is enough." Zhuji patted Tianxie Guihuang beside her.

The boss covered his mouth, tutted a few times and shook his head.

Tianxie Guihuang: "..."

It's better not to say such a shameful thing, hey!Tianxie Guihuang spit out a mouthful of old blood, if it wasn't for getting Kumamoto Castle, he wouldn't be a male favourite.

Zhuji thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter if you're a man or a woman, I want the younger ones, not the older ones, nor the old ones."

The boss became embarrassed: "This... this... this lady, the younger ones are usually sent to the palace, why not choose again."

"How much will Fushimi's monarch pay you? I'll just double it." Takehime was rich and powerful, and never blinked when spending money.After all, she really knows how to turn stones into gold for things like money. She begged Ebisu, the God of Fortune, to teach her what she taught many years ago, and it still works today.

The lord of the city lamented: "It's not a matter of money or not... The lord of Fushimi City likes to kill, offending him is a dead end, no matter how much money you make at that time, it will be useless."

"That's it... If I make it difficult for you again, it will be too unreasonable." Zhuji suddenly became considerate.

She looked over there again, and saw a lonely shadow in another cage.She ran to the cage and asked the boss, "Isn't there a boy here?"

"The boy's parents were normal human beings, but the boy was born as a freak, with a horn on his head and some problems with his eyes." The boss responded to Zhuji's request, opened the cage, let the boy out and gave birth to the boy. She took a good look.

The boy's hands and feet were chained. He was barefoot, but these feet were different from ordinary people. The toenails were long and sharp, and there were only four toes.

"His mother needed food a few days ago, so she sold him here. He ate and drank for nothing for several days, and no one cared about it. If the lady likes it, she can take it away at any time." The boss was very happy, thinking that he could get this ghost The son bought it, and it is very comfortable.

"So cute...the golden eyes are so pretty, and the hair is soft." Zhuji couldn't put it down, holding his soft hand, and asked: "What's your name?"

With tears in his eyes, the boy said his name weakly: "Ibaraki... Ibaraki, my name is Ibaraki..."

So cute, so cute, so cute, so cute! !think……

"Brother, take him home." Zhuji stared at Tianxieguihuang with stars in her eyes.

——As a rich man, you don't need to seek advice at all, okay?Tian Xiegui put Xiao Ibaraki on his shoulders neatly, hugged Zhuji who had paid the money, and said to Zhuji through gritted teeth: "...you just want to be happy."

——So I became a babysitter?

It seems that Tianxie Guihuang needs to write a letter to ask their king for help.

The author has something to say: Do you like Tianxie, Guihuang, or President Huang?

Please choose one of them~
