Chapter Seventy-Seven: Edo, Tokugawa
Edo. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At the intersection of a street near the suburbs, several men in black suits stood on the side of the road separately, waiting for them.
Behind them, an extended version of the car was also parked.
At this time, more than half a year has passed since the end of the war, and under the investment boom of many celestial beings from various galaxies, the modernization of Edo can be said to have been greatly accelerated!
Automobiles that would have to take decades to appear are not uncommon in today's Edo.
Of course, this extended version of the luxury car, coupled with this group of tigers and wolves, is really curious to passers-by.
The curiosity of the people who eat melons is always so heavy.
"Hey, old man, what's the matter with these guys?" a thug smashed the old man next to him.
Damn, these guys' clothes are really... Domineering!
Anyway, it's much better than theirs.
The old man wore a pair of reading glasses, and he didn't care about the impoliteness of this bastard boy, and said slowly, "In Edo, what else can it be?
"Shhhh
The onlookers gasped.
The people of the shogunate still sent so many officials?
The little thug who was still a little unhappy didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore at this time.
The shogunate, the ruler of Edo, was able to unify the country after defeating many daimyo and quelling hundreds of years of civil unrest. Although, due to the invasion of the heavenly people, the gate of the country was forced to open, and the war broke out! However, there was no doubt that the people of the country had failed!
As a result, the shogunate's dominance almost reached a limit!
Could it be that some of the biggest names in heaven and earth are coming? Or some famous family? Everyone talked a lot, but they didn't dare to go up to talk to those black-faced people.
After a while.
A group of people appeared at the end of the road.
Close, close.
Everyone is looking forward to it. The faces of the guys in black suits also became serious.
"Everyone, we must show our best condition, and we must not let the other party underestimate us!" the man in black led by him snorted.
"Yes!"
At the intersection not far away, it was like a flame burning, and everyone only saw a young man in a black samurai uniform walking slowly, followed by several samurai in red samurai uniforms and katana at their waists!
Especially the burly man next to the young man who was close to two meters tall, he was actually carrying a two-meter wild knife at his waist!
Warrior!
Everyone was stunned, even stunned, and puzzled.
This kind of appearance is indeed very handsome, but isn't there a sword abolition order? Why are all these people still carrying knives?
Even if it is a famous family in Edo, they will not show their knives at will now that the abolition of the sword order is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Those who bring swords on the road, those who are not powerful, are people in the shogunate!
Otherwise, it's all rebellion!
This has become a kind of consensus among the people.
Could it be that these samurai were the big names in the shogunate, or were they the nobles of some famous family? One after another, speculation came to mind.
And among these people, there is also this wolf-headed celestial!
"May I ask if it's Lord Sugimoto and Sirius Emissary?" the black-clothed man in the lead of the shogunate stepped forward, his expression slightly respectful.
"Hmm. Haruma nodded slightly, not pretending to be modest.
Now he can already be regarded as a prince, and in the turbulent Warring States Era, he will also be a hero for a while. Even if the shogunate is powerful now, there should be no less etiquette.
But the wolf-headed celestial man raised his head haughtily, with a look of disdain for him.
The celestials worship the strong, and as for the shogunate, which can't even defend the country, they are naturally regarded as weak!
"In Shimomaegawa Ichihei, this time I have come to pick up Your Excellency to the Shogunate!Please get in the car first!" The man in black led by him looked a little embarrassed, bowed slightly, and pointed to the car behind him.
"Well, good. Harita nodded and followed him into the car.
As for Yuichiro and the others, they naturally went in with him.
The car roared and sped away.
At the intersection, the onlookers are still discussing.
Today is an eye-opener, not only to see rare samurai, but also to the shogunate's people to pick up and drop off. Some people with special identities immediately began to pass on the news to the forces behind them.
In a short time, the news that the lord of Nishiueno, the leader of the blood moon, a man known as the "Rakshasa", and a wolf-headed celestial man entered Edo at the same time had reached the eyes of some well-intentioned people.
A game is about to begin!
........
Edo, in front of a certain building in the shogunate.
The car stopped, Maekawa Kazuhei opened the door, and Haruta and Sirius Emissary stepped out in turn.
"Here, please, the general is waiting for you!" Maekawa Issei led the way.
There was no bloody incident, and the group arrived in a conference room smoothly. And the shogunate's shogun, Tokugawa Josada, has been waiting here for a long time at this time!
"Lord Shogun, Your Excellency Sugimoto and Sirius Emissary have arrived!" Maekawa Kazuhei knocked on the door.
"Please let them in!" the man inside coughed.
Haruma's eyes were indifferent, and she walked in calmly. The Sirius emissary still followed him with a haughty face. As for why the other party followed him so willingly, you can ask Yuichiro on the side who has to rub his hands from time to time.
Both sides took their seats.
Haruta looked at his opponent, the shogunate shogun, Tokugawa set!
At this time, Tokugawa was not very young, that is, about forty years old. However, the majesty is very heavy, and the eyes are also extremely deep, as if they can see the soul of a person.
However, Harita looked at each other indifferently.
Now he is no longer the little ninja who left Edo a few years ago when he was hunted down, and now he is an existence beyond the control of the shogunate!
Not to mention, in this negotiation, the shogunate is more anxious than him!
Tokugawa looked at Harita quietly, his face expressionless. In the meantime, the atmosphere in the conference room was unusually solemn, and the shogunate officials who were with Tokugawa were all sitting upright.
"This is the Sirius Emissary, isn't it?" Tokugawa's face was like a chrysanthemum blooming, facing the wolf-headed celestial who was sitting next to Haruma, looking around.
"Well, it's Sirius Messenger down there!" the wolf-headed celestial said, suddenly rolling his gaze.
"However, this negotiation is just a witness, and the specific matters are still negotiated between you and His Excellency Sugimoto. ā
Harita has a leisurely and indifferent look.
Deliberately trying to put small shoes on me?
Hehe, I'm sorry to tell you that Sirius, the wolf head, just came to stand up for him.
The scene froze.
After a long while, Tokugawa Dingding suddenly spoke, his face complicated.
"He is worthy of being called a rakshasa, and he is indeed a hero of the moment! Even people like Takeda Shingen are planted in your hands!"
Hearing this, the expressions of the shogunate officials behind him trembled slightly. The general actually praised this kid so much?! Although he had already made some mental preparations, his heart still couldn't help but shake.
After all, on the surface, in this country, Tokugawa is the one who stands at the top!
"Your Excellency General, I am only asking for self-preservation. Qingta's tone was indifferent, and she didn't show any arrogance because of this man's praise.
In terms of mental age, he has passed the age of youth and frivolity.
Tokugawa's expression became even more complicated.
The other party's expression had already made all the boasting he had prepared before! and his previous act of deliberately raising the Sirius envoy did not make the other party angry.
Who would have thought that such a young man with a weak crown could be so indifferent after such achievements?
From this point of view, this is definitely an opponent!
It seems that today, the shogunate will have to bleed once to get his wish!
Thinking of this, not only did his face show a trace of bitterness, but so did the shogunate officials behind him.
Looking at this scene, Qing Tai smiled slightly, "Your Excellency General, there is no need to say more nonsense, let's start formal negotiations now!"
