Chapter 273 Surrounded by Wolves
After pondering for a while, Xingye Feng suddenly smiled: "This Water Country is really interesting. It has become like this."
Then, he looked at Sanshui and asked, "Then what are you afraid of? According to what you said, even if everything is not going smoothly, we shouldn't be as nervous as we are now."
Hearing this, Sanshui sighed deeply and said with a sad face: "Alas, since ancient times, human hearts are the most unpredictable. The current unity is only forced by the situation."
"The situation is pressing?" Xingye Feng asked curiously. "How do you say that?"
Hearing the question, Sanshui didn't think there was anything wrong and answered.
"Ever since the defeat of the Hidden Mist Village, the Land of Water has been in a state of panic, fearing that Konoha will come across the sea."
"In order to protect themselves, three major factions naturally formed, but no one expected that the situation would become even more chaotic."
At this point, Sanshui sighed and said, "Human desires are really unfathomable. Instead of waiting for Konoha, they waited for a civil war among their own people."
Hearing the complaint in his tone, Xingye Feng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Aren't you from the merchant faction? Why are you sighing?"
Sanshui waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "My family is almost in decline, so why should I care about these things?"
Xingye Feng's expression changed, and he asked, "From your tone, the crisis comes from within you, and the benefits are not evenly distributed?"
"Other than this, what else could it be? One by one, greed is insatiable, and sooner or later something bad will happen."
Sanshui said angrily.
Now that things have come to this, there is nothing to be afraid of. Sanshui tells all the deeper details like pouring beans.
"My Kaino family has been operating cargo ships for generations. By my generation, it has been almost a hundred years."
"During this period, I have accumulated a lot of wealth and my family is quite wealthy. I thought that this life would pass by like this."
"But I never thought that one day, I would be treated as prey."
"The Miyamizu family joined forces with others to divide up the Umino family, so they cut off most of the routes."
Xingye Feng stroked his chin and said, "A pack of wolves devours a tiger, sharing the food. A tiger would be exhausted when facing a pack of wolves, let alone a group of tigers besieging it."
"So, your cargo ship is loaded with the last straw."
Sanshui said: "That's what I mean. So, I want to find someone to escort me, but now everyone knows my predicament and no one is willing to help me."
He looked lonely, but also reluctant. No one wanted to see a business that had been passed down for many years destroyed in his hands.
At this time, Xingye Feng suddenly asked: "Have you heard that Konoha sent people to the Hidden Mist Village to negotiate?"
Hearing this, Sanshui was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he said: "I do know, but it has nothing to do with me."
"That's wrong." Xingye Feng shook his head and smiled. "Do you know what Konoha's negotiations are for?"
Sanshui frowned, thought for a moment and said, "It should be to seek benefits. After all, if you lose the war, you have to bear the consequences."
"You're right, but not entirely." Xingye Feng stretched out a finger and shook it in front of him. "Of course there is this factor involved."
"But the most important thing is that you haven't mentioned the key point yet."
Sanshui frowned: "The key point?" He was still a little ambiguous.
Seeing this, Xingye Feng casually said as if to remind him: "Alas, except for Konoha, three of the four major countries were defeated, and one has a very good relationship with Konoha. The entire ninja world is under control."
Master....Master....Master!!!
A sudden flash of inspiration came to Sanshui's mind, as if a circuit was unblocked, and his train of thought suddenly opened up. He clapped his hands and said.
"That's it, I understand."
After saying this, the darkness in his eyes disappeared, and shrewdness reappeared in his eyes, but then he felt a palpitation.
"This is horrible. The time for Konoha to unify the ninja world has already arrived, but I just saw it. This is really wrong."
Sanshui felt annoyed and regretful, thinking that he understood it too late. Otherwise, perhaps the Kaino family would not be in such a bad situation now and would not have reached the point of desperation.
Xingye Feng had a smile on his face and said casually, "It's not too late to understand. There is still hope."
Sanshui took a deep breath and looked at Xingye Feng. The fear in his eyes changed to awe and... a hint of nervousness.
"Sanshui, I dare to ask what your relationship with Konoha is."
If he still doesn't understand, then these decades of doing business are equivalent to a blank sheet of paper, with nothing left and no progress.
The person in front of him definitely has a close relationship with Konoha, and the relationship is not low. This is enough for him to treat it with caution.
After all, they still have to deal with Konoha in the future. If the relationship becomes too tense and the hope of breaking the deadlock is dashed, they will be left with no tears to cry and no place to reason.
After saying this, Xingye Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said nonchalantly: "Me? Didn't I just say that Konoha sent people to negotiate? Can't you see that?"
As soon as he heard the word "negotiation", Sanshui's eyes widened and shone like two night pearls.
"You are... but this... this is a bit..."
Sanshui was shocked at first, then incredulous, and finally hesitant to speak.
This series of facial changes made Xingye Feng speechless.
"What? Do you think I'm too casual, or do you think I'm not like it?" Xingye Feng said unconvinced.
This guy has absolutely no taste. A man as suave, handsome and extraordinary as him can be seen as extraordinary at a glance.
"No, no! I didn't mean that." Sanshui wiped the sweat from his forehead and forced a smile.
Are you kidding? He wouldn't dare to say that. Konoha is not an existence that anyone can offend at the moment. It is suppressing other countries with unparalleled force.
Nowadays, the trend of unification is becoming increasingly clear. As long as some time passes, this will be the consensus of everyone and there will be no dispute about this.
Therefore, Sanshui now dare not offend Xingye Feng, otherwise he will suffer unexpected disaster.
Seeing him so flustered, Xingye Feng grinned and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. I can help you with your predicament, but I have a condition."
Sanshui's eyes lit up, and he said hastily, "I'll agree to any condition as long as we can get through this difficult time."
Seeing that he agreed so readily, Xingye Feng raised the corner of his mouth and said, "It's a wise choice."
"What you are going to do is behind. I am going to the Hidden Mist Village now. Do you want to follow me?"
After he finished speaking, Sanshui agreed without even thinking about it.
His keen business instinct told him that this was an opportunity to soar to fame and he must not give up.
It’s just a shipload of cargo. I can just give it up. Even if I die, I’d rather die by the side of Xingye Feng.
"Very good." Xingye Feng was not surprised. He nodded slightly and said no more.
Seeing this, Sanshui tactfully retreated and closed the door.
