Infinite Transmigration Starting from Violet

Well, you have to have both guns and knives, and you have to be good at both!

After setting up camp for one night, they traveled for another half day.

Lu Ye and the others arrived at Hirata.

This land was under the jurisdiction of the Hirata family, a senior retainer of Ashina.

This land is located in the southern part of Ashina, and beyond Hirata lies Ashina's main castle.

Upon entering the city, a peaceful atmosphere prevailed.

Commoners walked along the streets, some carrying loads on their shoulders, others selling things, and occasionally some foot soldiers passed by on the roadside.

Violet didn't attract much attention because she was wearing a veiled hat.

"Looks like I can finally get a good night's rest in the house tonight." Lu Ye exhaled a puff of white breath.

“Yes, Hirata isn’t far from Ashina, only about two days’ journey,” Hanbei said.

Lu Ye was overjoyed to finally no longer have to endure the elements.

The three of them arrived at a guesthouse and were about to enter when they suddenly stopped.

"Mr. Hanbei."

"exist."

Do you have money?

"How could that be?"

"That's true." Lu Ye sighed deeply.

Being broke... it's really a killer.

But a new idea immediately popped into his head.

You can earn money if you don't have any!

Then, just a few minutes later...

Three more figures appeared at the nearby vendors' stalls.

However, they weren't there to buy things; they were there to sell things!

"Come and see! Cookies! Bulk discounts available! Bulk discounts available!"

"Free samples! If you don't like it, you don't have to pay!"

When Lu Ye started hawking his wares, it sounded a bit like the calls of middle-aged women at a vegetable market.

As someone who was often ordered by my aunt to buy scallions and garlic, I frequently went to the market and picked up a few words of the trade through constant exposure.

Gradually, more and more people arrived.

On the one hand, the slogan of "free tasting" attracted many people who wanted to get something for free.

But more importantly, the rich scallion oil flavor of the compressed biscuits is so tempting that many people come from afar just by smelling it.

As the number of cookies available for tasting dwindled, Hanbei began to worry.

"Will anyone actually buy this?"

“Don’t worry, although there are many freeloaders, they are not my target customers!” Lu Ye said. “This city is quite big, and there should be quite a few rich people. They will definitely be attracted by this fragrance.”

But four hours passed, and by evening, two packs of compressed biscuits were gone.

One pack was taken by the freeloaders, and the other pack was taken by Violet.

Although two packs of compressed biscuits were insignificant, the most important thing was that the money still hadn't been raised.

Am I going to have to sleep on the streets tonight?

Lu Ye didn't really care, but since they were already in the city, he should at least let Violet sleep comfortably for one night.

Lu Ye made up his mind that if all else failed, he would exchange something for it.

But just then, a young voice rang out.

"Wow, it smells so good! Wolf, wolf, I want this!"

Appearing in front of the stall was a young child, who, judging from his clothes, should be from a wealthy family.

Beside the child was a cold and weathered-looking man dressed in brown clothes, with ninja attire underneath.

Lu Ye stared at the two people in front of him, stunned.

—It feels so familiar.

Especially the men around the child...

Oh my God!

Am I now exhibiting the "I've seen this young master before" reverse Jia Baoyu symptom?

Pshaw, do you think you're Tony Leung from the Warring States period?

Even Jia Baoyu's tastes weren't this extreme!

Despite his complaints, Lu Ye instinctively felt that the two people in front of him were of utmost importance.

"Um, please give me this." The child pointed excitedly at the cookies on the cloth bag.

"Master," the man advised, "you must not eat anything from outside."

"Wolf, I want to eat this! It smells so good!" The boy's eyes were filled with longing.

Looking at the child, the man knew he probably couldn't leave easily today.

"Then I'll be the first to test the poison. Please give me a piece."

Although we know the chances of someone poisoning food in the marketplace are slim, we should still be cautious.

"They want money!" Lu Ye thought to himself, "I've finally found a fat sheep."

The man named Wolf didn't speak, but silently took out a money pouch: "I'll take them all."

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow: "The boss is generous."

Chapter 122 The First Step of the Plan

He then handed over two packets of cookies.

The wolf took a bite, and its furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

"Such a rich aroma..."

After a while, finding nothing amiss, the wolf handed the biscuit to its owner.

“It’s not poisonous. The food didn’t react with the pills I took beforehand,” the wolf said.

Hearing this, the child happily took the cookie and started eating it.

Wow! It smells so good!

His face showed an expression of unprecedented surprise.

Lu Ye, meanwhile, focused on counting the amount in the money bag.

I had at least learned about the currency system in the village beforehand, so this money should be enough to stay at an inn or something for a few days.

"Wolf, I want to take more back to my father," the child said, looking at the man.

"Street vendor, is there anything else?" the wolf asked.

Lu Ye was about to agree when a pale blue light flashed before his eyes.

Side Quest: Now Available

Objective: Prevent the Hirata family from falling tomorrow night.

[Reward: 5000 points]

Prevent the Hirata family from falling? Lu Ye was taken aback.

Tasks are triggered under certain conditions; they don't just appear out of thin air.

A well-dressed child, accompanied by a familiar-looking bodyguard...

It turned out to be the case.

"That's all." Lu Ye said curtly, spreading his hands.

"What? It's gone?" Disappointment crossed the boy's face. "What a pity..."

“But I can do it,” Lu Ye smiled. “If it’s alright, I can make some and send it over right away.”

"Really?" The boy's eyes lit up. "Then come to my house. I've prepared all the ingredients. My father has been complaining about the food lately. He'll be happy if he eats this. Wolf, don't you think?"

"I will obey my master's will in full." The man named Wolf nodded slightly.

Seizing the opportunity, Lu Ye successfully entered the Hirata Manor.

After eating the cookies, Hirata no Naru praised them highly and warmly invited Lu Ye to become the head chef of the Hirata family.

Lu Ye readily agreed.

He stayed at the Hirata family's house that night.

There is hot water available for bathing, as well as soft bedding.

But Lu Ye had no mind to rest at the moment.

The Hirata family will fall tomorrow night...

From this perspective, if it's not an internal problem, then it must be an external one.

This is highly likely.

During the conversation in the main hall, Lu Ye learned some information from the head of the Hirata family.

Although there were many foot soldiers and samurai in Hirata, most of the troops were transferred to Ashina's main castle.

Was this a coincidence, or intentional?

Judging from the battlefield situation, this was understandable. However, it is worth noting that the flat terrain of Hirata, located south of Ashina Castle and northwest of Ashina, would leave the main road to Ashina completely open if it were to fall.
