The sun is gradually setting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The setting sun turns the sky and the sea a brilliant orange red.

The newly built humble wooden houses on both sides of the street are dimly lit one by one, smoke rises above the ruins of Kyoto, and the aroma of food wafts through the air with the evening breeze, along with the faint sounds of frolic and crying.

A middle-aged man, dressed in a somewhat shabby robe, was in a surviving attic, staring out at the twilight outside.

Kyoto is by no means warm at the moment, but there are lucky people who survive and enjoy food with their families in makeshift wooden houses.

It's just that for him, this can only further stimulate his brain, recalling the unbearable humiliation and the wails of the people some time ago, infinitely melancholy......

The middle-aged man, Emperor Tokusho, was under house arrest as an important figure in the attic of Kyoto Gyoen, where at least one squadron of infantry was stationed, and several Western mages were guarding it.

The attic is not too big, and now only the emperor and his wife live here, and as for the children, the sons all died in the Oyu, and a pair of flowery daughters are missing, and it is very likely that the thugs have dragged them into the alley.

As soon as I thought of this, Emperor Tokusho's remorse kept coming to him, but unfortunately it was of little use, and as a symbol, he could only wait for the Riberian people to fiddle with it.

As the night came, the outside gradually blurred, and finally nothing could be seen clearly.

Emperor Tokusho finally came down from the attic, yawned and went to the hall on the first floor, then sat down on the tatami mat boredly, and then touched his shriveled stomach and waited patiently for dinner.

Time passed minute by minute, and dinner was never delivered, just when Emperor Tokusho couldn't help but call the guards, there was finally a low sound of footsteps outside, and it seemed that those lazy guys had finally arrived.

"Husband, is dinner coming?" The queen, who had been resting in the bedroom, also came to his side, looking pretty good.

"Yes, these Riberians are so unpunctual."

Emperor Tokusho complained as he watched the wooden door be opened, but the person who came was not the red-clothed Xiyi, but the familiar female general.

"How are you doing, Your Majesty Emperor Tokusho, it's dinner time, are you interested in having a meal together and chatting about something by the way?"

Emperor Tokusho looked at the door with a surprised face, but he didn't expect it to be Admiral Catherine, but today's female general changed into a gorgeous Riberian military dress, which looked extremely heroic and beautiful, with a strange temptation.

"When, of course ......"

……

Wine is an old wine, and the dishes are delicacies from the mountains and seas, but the people who dine don't know the taste, and their minds are not on the table at all.

Of course, Lorraine will not give up food, only food and beauty can not live up to this sentence does make some sense, not to mention Dongying's specialty food!

However, Admiral Catherine and Emperor Tokusho did not have this idea, and they were eager to know when the Lorraine deal would begin.

“…… Don't look at me like that, Admiral Catherine, according to our agreement, you have to deal with His Majesty the Emperor first. Lorraine was busy eating seafood and then drank sake from a small porcelain cup in one gulp.

"I know that Emperor Tokusho and his wife will be free, but are you sure you won't hand them over to Oda Nobunaga, your employer?"

"Giving it to her will only strengthen the position, and what I need is a country that cannot be separated from Brittany, not a united and powerful country."

"The three royal families are not unified...... You just want to disrupt the Dongying Kingdom, and in the end you make a profit. ”

"You can see that it's all like Riberia learned."

"Humph! I don't know how you're learning......"

Emperor Tokusho looked at the two Xiyi generals with a depressed face, in their eyes, he was really just a commodity, and he wanted to disturb the general trend of the world!

There was a moment when the former bathhouse owner wanted to force him to die, and it was not insulting to let these bastards take a good look at the Dongying people.

It's just that Lorraine said casually, "I don't know that His Majesty the Emperor wants to directly control Kyoto and the surrounding two hundred miles of territory?" ”

So His Majesty the Emperor decided that it would be better to keep his own life, as the emperor, he must not say anything lightly, and he must protect himself for the future of this country!

Whether you believe it or not, His Majesty the Emperor believes it anyway.

After some verbal exchanges, Lorraine finally finished eating the food on his plate, "Admiral Catherine, the emperor's affairs are probably like this, and now it's time to talk about private deals." ”

Catherine winked, and immediately there were attendants escorting the emperor and his wife away, and when the two left, the room was quiet, and Catherine did not speak at this time.

"You just want what I stook? With just some antiques and possessions, plus the population, you're not afraid that the Oda family will trouble you if you do this? ”

"I also know it's very bad to eat at home and eat at home like this, but the question is- so what?" Lorraine shrugged indifferently, and Catherine was very unhappy to watch.

"Brittania doesn't need to occupy the country, I'm content with a concession and a couple of military bases."

"For you, Catherine, and the exiles of Riberia don't need to be here, you will probably take a large number of supplies and slaves, and continue to march south, anyway, adventurers have long reported the prosperity and desolation there, I guess you want to establish a new kingdom."

Catherine had to admit that Lorraine was right, that the Riberian exile fleet really did not intend to stay here, and that the culture and environment of Dongying were incompatible with them, and that it was very likely that they would die bloodied in the constant war if they invaded and established a regime.

Only the south will not have this trouble, the Song country has no interest in going there, and the countries only have trading posts there, as long as there is a fleet and enough slaves, a new country can appear.

Moreover, Dongying was able to contact the Bretanians, which meant that they could also buy magic industrial equipment, which was the greatest convenience for the establishment of the country.

"Your reason is convincing, I really need the materials you brought, and I don't dare to rob them directly." Catherine said solemnly, her eyes suddenly rolled, and her white eyebrows danced.

"But brother, this is also the best time to make the difference! I don't intend to touch the public property of the fleet and the private goods of the soldiers, but I have a lot of good things in my name...... As long as I get enough supplies, I can arm more guards and expand my military power, you know? ”

Lorraine paused for a moment, and immediately nodded to show that he understood, it turned out that the general also planned to stabilize the military power, which doomed the new country in the future to belong to Admiral Catherine, and no one could object if his fist was big enough.
