Chapter 231 Letter from Daming Prefecture

"You come here so late at night, Sakumo, you are disturbing my family's meal."

Hoshino Kaede leaned against the wall and said jokingly.

Shuomao was helpless. If the matter was not serious, he would not come here in person.

Everyone knows that since stepping down as Hokage, Kaede Hoshino has let himself go and has been wandering around Konoha all day long.

"Third generation, there is indeed an important matter that requires you to make a decision." Hatake Sakumo quickly got into work mode and said seriously.

This look surprised Hoshino Feng a little. In his opinion, Konoha was now unstoppable.

Even if the three countries unite, the road to the unification of Konoha will only take a short time, so there is no need to worry.

Shuo Mao has been in power for several years now. He has become calm and his edge has settled down. He is no longer the same as he was before.

Even he was so serious, Xingye Feng became a little curious.

"Okay, tell me what's the big deal that makes you come to me in person." Xingye Feng listened attentively.

Hatake Sakumo took out a letter marked with Daimyo Prefecture. These three long-lost words made Hoshino Kaede's nerves jump.

"Damingfu? Oh, I see. I forgot about this."

When he saw these three words, Hoshino Kaede's memories came flooding back, and he thought of that famous name - Minamoto no Mitsuyori.

It has been many years, and I don't know how he is doing now, but I think he should be doing well. I just don't know why he is writing to me now.

Hatake Sakumo continued, "The Daimyo sent two letters to Konoha, one for me and one for you."

"The one given to me mentioned that Konoha was going to rule the Land of Fire and that the Daimyo would abdicate and make way for the Hokage."

Xingye Feng nodded slightly. Seeing that Yuan Guanglai had already made the decision, he was not surprised.

"In that case, isn't this a good thing?"

Sakumo smiled bitterly and said, "The key is that all this is based on you being the Hokage."

I see, this is the root of the problem. Sakumo came here in such a hurry because of this sentence.

Xingye Feng raised his eyebrows, a thoughtful look on his face, and tapped his chin with his finger: "It seems that everything is not going well, me?"

His eyes were deep and his easy-going temperament suddenly changed in an instant.

He lowered his head and looked at the letter in his hand. It was another letter for him.

Compared to what was given to Konoha, Feng Hoshino felt that what he had in his hands was the key.

With a tearing sound, the envelope was opened, and what came into view was the handwriting that was a mixture of childishness and maturity.

Seeing the words is like seeing the person. From this handwriting, we can see the growth of Minamoto no Mitsuyori, although the price of this growth seems a bit heavy.

After reading it carefully, Hoshino Kaede's expression gradually became strange, as if he had gained a fanatical fan.

The letter was full of long-winded words but contained no substantive content, and the entire tone was full of admiration.

"Oh, I was overthinking it." Xingye Feng said, looking up at Shumao: "You just talked about serious matters in that letter, so, what are you going to do?"

"Since the problem has arisen, let's solve it." Xingye Feng said with a relaxed look.

"Ahem." Shuomao covered his mouth and coughed lightly, saying speechlessly: "But the problem is that it can't be solved now. The conditions are not met."

Xingye Feng nodded: "Indeed, I have already retired, but it is a bit unreasonable for you to come to me."

While speaking, he looked at Sakumo with a playful look, which contained a double meaning.

Shuomao felt a little guilty when he was looked at, and cursed those who instigated him in his heart.

He didn't want to come originally because he knew Xingye Feng's character very well, but he couldn't stand those people nagging in his ears.

Thinking of this, Sakumo looked at Hoshino Kaede's playful eyes and sold those people out.

Sarutobi Hiruzen...Maruboshi Kosuke...Shimura Danzo...Hoshino Kaede narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly read out their names.

But if you listen carefully, you will suddenly feel a piercing chill in your heart.

The instigator, Hatake Sakumo, mourned for him silently for a few seconds, and then he felt at ease, as if it had nothing to do with me.

He would certainly present great gifts to these people, but this was not what was important right now.

Seeing Sakumo looking at him eagerly, Xingye Feng held his forehead and said, "Send someone to protect the daimyo first."

Upon hearing this, Shuo Mao said thoughtfully: "You don't think this is that simple?"

"Nonsense!" Xingye Feng rolled his eyes at him. "The daimyo system has been in existence for a long time and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Of course, it only applies to the people in the capital."

"These people are the most troublesome. Once the daimyo system is abolished, what will happen to those who rely on the system?"

Sakumo stroked his chin and continued his words: "Unrest will occur, and war will spread across the Land of Fire."

Xingye Feng said expressionlessly: "Not only that, the capital is the most prosperous area in the entire Land of Fire, and its economic scale is not comparable to that of Konoha Village."

Although Konoha has undergone a series of reforms and its economic strength is growing day by day, it is still a little bit behind the capital of a country.

The drastic reform policies have increased Konoha's economy several times, but even so, the capital is still the richest city in the Land of Fire.

"Except for technology and people's livelihood, Konoha cannot compare with the capital in all aspects."

"This is Konoha's disadvantage. If we want to complete the transition without bloodshed, it won't be that easy."

"If they go all out and perish together with Konoha, then we're all doomed."

After hearing Hoshino Kaede's analysis, Sakumo suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

"so what should I do now?"

Seeing that he looked helpless, Xingye Feng curled the corners of his mouth and leaned over to say a few words to him.

"As expected of the third generation, they have a myriad of strategies. This is a good method, it attacks both the surface and the inside."

Shuomao nodded frequently, and his previous worries instantly disappeared.

"There's no time to lose. I'll be leaving first." Shuomao's eyes were burning with energy and he was full of motivation. He didn't look at all helpless as before.

Hoshino Feng waved his hand, turned around and went back home to continue eating.

A few days later, thanks to the efforts of a certain mastermind, newspapers in the Fire Nation's capital were filled with stories of corruption among the upper class.

Each one is shocking and horrifying, making people feel as if they are fake at first glance.

Public opinion is an invisible force. It is usually inconspicuous, but it can stir up the situation and guide people's hearts.

The reason why the common people are ignorant and wise is that they know very little. They think that the nobles are perfect and take it for granted that they are superior.

They have cages in their hearts that lock their thoughts tightly.

The idea that "you are born to suffer" is deeply imprinted in people's minds.

As a result, after several generations, the resistance sentiment is gradually eroded, blind worship begins to occupy the heart, the people lose their independent ideas and become puppets who are ordered around.

Shuo Mao spread the misdeeds of these people to the capital, exposing their hypocritical side and making this cage no longer so indestructible.

And this is just the first step, the first step to ignite a raging fire.
