After getting in touch with Sawada Yain, Liu Xing and the others quickly joined up with the members of the samurai faction lurking near Tokyo, and then returned to Sawada Manor outside Osaka safely.

Because the bathing method in the Black Stone Mountain Prison is very retro, to put it bluntly, it is to take a bucket of water and pour it on yourself, so Liu Xing and the others invariably chose to go back to the room and take a good bath, after all, the smell on the body is really a little unpleasant.

However, Yin Eun still went to tell Sawada about Liu Xuyu before that, so Sawada Yayin has already begun to investigate Liu Xuyu's location.

In the room, Liu Xing looked at Taketori flying everywhere in mid-air, and said a little speechlessly: "Great Lord Taketori, aren't I taking a bath?" Do you want to go first? ”

Taketori snorted coldly and said, "Young man, you think too much of yourself, do you even think that Lord Ben has thoughts about you?" As for letting me go, it's even more impossible, because you'll have to help me think about what to do now. ”

Liu Xing sighed, he didn't expect that as soon as he came back, Taketori would throw himself a big problem.

To put it simply, Taketori recently met an admirer named Shimazu Hiromichi, who was Shimazu Nakano's nephew.

Shimazu Hiromichi is currently the spokesperson and secretary of Shimazu Nakano in the samurai faction, so he has always wanted to meet with Taketori after learning about Taketori, after all, "Princess Taketori" is very famous in the island country.

Of course, if Shimazu Hiromichi was just a simple admirer, then Taketori would still be quite willing to meet his followers and satisfy his vanity, but the moment Taketori saw Shimazu Hiromichi, he knew that this guy was uneasy and kind to him.

Although Taketori's strength is not as good as before, Taketori is still able to sense people's hearts as an ancient god, so Taketori can see at a glance what the attitude of the person in front of him is towards him.

So Taketori is very clear that this Shimazu Hiromichi wants to pursue himself.

Hearing this, Liu Xing didn't know if this Shimazu Hiromichi was a man with pursuits, or a Japanese-style despised middle school disease, so he began to want to pursue a goddess.

But then again, after thinking about it for a while when he switched to Shimazu Hiromichi, he felt that it was understandable for Shimazu Hiromichi to do this, after all, Taketori is the real national goddess of the island country, and if he really has a chance to catch up with Taketori, wouldn't it be developed?

Let's not mention Taketori's strength, the name Taketori alone can bring a lot of benefits to Shimazu Hiromichi, first of all, he can stabilize his position in the samurai faction, after all, the Sawada family can only be on an equal footing with the Shimazu family by relying on Taketori.

Then there is the battle for the next head of the Shimazu family.

At present, Shimazu Nakano only has one daughter, so Shimazu Nakano will take Shimazu Hiromichi, a nephew, with him to do things, but Shimazu Nakano left his son-in-law Shimazu Takeshi in Kyushu to manage the family business.

There is a very special habit in the island country, that is, some big families with only daughters will choose to let their son-in-law change his surname and become the successor to the head of the family, so there are many so-called civilian parliamentarians in the island country, known as the spokesperson of ordinary people, but in fact, they are the sons-in-law of those big families, relying on the resources of their father-in-law's family to achieve something.

Back to the topic, Liu Xing had heard that the Shimazu family was caught up in the succession dispute, because Shimazu Nakano's current attitude is very subtle, and he has never made a positive statement, and he is also a bowl of water for Shimazu Hiromichi and Shimazu Takeshi - on the one hand, Shimazu Hirodo is inseparable from himself, and on the other hand, Shimazu Takeshi is responsible for the operation of the family business.

So now, even if it is a member of the Shimazu family, I don't know who will be the next head of the family, Shimazu Hiromichi or Shimazu Takeshi.

Therefore, Shimazu Hiromichi is now coming to pursue Taketori, to put it bluntly, he also wants Taketori to give himself a platform, after all, if Shimazu Hiromichi can have a goddess as his wife, then Shimazu Nakano will have to pass on the position of head of the family to Shimazu Hiromichi.

Of course, Shimazu Hiromichi also knows that the possibility of pursuing Taketori is very low, so Liu Xing feels that Shimazu Hiromichi's current idea should be for a "name".

Now Hiromichi Shimazu actually wants to put on a show and let others know that he has been pursuing Taketori, so that he can give others the impression of "infatuation".

With this "name", Shimazu Hiromichi's worth has also risen.

However, this made Liu Xing have a great headache.

Because Shimazu Hiromichi made it clear that he was here to make a good name, and he didn't have any hope of pursuing Taketori, it was very difficult for Liu Xing to persuade Shimazu Hiromichi to quit.

As for the use of force or something, it is even more unreliable, because Shimazu Hiromichi is also Shimazu Nakano's right-hand man, and a strong contender for the next head of the Shimazu family, so it is impossible for Liu Xing to directly beat Shimazu Hiromichi and tell Shimazu Hiromichi not to touch his goddess.

Uh, how does that sound weird.

Liu Xing shook his head and said helplessly: "Lord Taketori, you should also know that Shimazu Hiromichi just wants to use your prestige to put it bluntly, and he doesn't really like you and covet your body." ”

"Of course I understand that, but this guy is so annoying, he runs over to the air and talks to himself in the air, saying some nonsense." Taketori replied with some irritation.

Liu Xing can imagine such a scene - Shimazu Hiromichi stands in front of a piece of air, and then begins to express his love for Taketori with an affectionate face, while Taketori looks at him speechlessly on the other side.

Liu Xing sighed and said, "Then what can I do, I can't beat him up once I see him, after all, he is also a high-level figure in the martial arts faction, so Lord Taketori, do you want to go outside and take a walk when he comes?" ”

Zhu took a white look at Liu Xing, and said a little angrily: "Hmph, waste, you humans are all waste!" ”

After saying that, Taketori turned into a wisp of green smoke and flew out of the bathroom.

Meow meow?

Liu Xing looked at the ceiling with a bewildered expression, what was this inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Liu Xing felt that Taketori and Sylvanas were quite similar, both had a good background at first, then were enslaved by evil forces, and finally successfully regained their free body and became an important figure in a certain force.

So, is Taketori going to run away and tear down the altar of a secret church?

After taking a shower, Liu Xing returned to the living room to prepare for lunch, although it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

After everyone arrived, Sawada Yayin told the matter between Taketori and Shimazu Hiromichi again, and it seems that Taketori also went to find Sawada Yain.

"This Shimazu Hiromichi has something, and he dares to take bamboo to brush his reputation." Zhang Jingxu said with some surprise: "But this guy can be regarded as fearless, after all, we can't do anything to him in the current situation, because no matter what he says, he is also the spokesperson of Shimazu Nakano, so we still have to give Shimazu Nakano's face." ”

Zhang Wenbing, who was on the side, nodded and said with a smile: "Isn't this a routine operation that is common in ancient and modern China and abroad?" What's more, many people don't even want their lives in order to be famous. ”

Sawada Yayin shrugged his shoulders and said depressedly: "So I think this matter is very troublesome, because we can't beat that guy, we can't scold, let alone Taketori now, even me and Juri are almost annoyed to death by him." ”

Sonoda Mori nodded very cooperatively.

At this moment, Ding Kun suddenly changed his words: "In this case, it seems that the dispute between the heads of the Shimazu family should have entered a white-hot stage!" ”

Liu Xing and the others were all surprised Ding Kun, and they didn't know why Ding Kun said this.

Ding Kun smiled and said seriously: "I believe everyone already knows about the heir dispute of the Shimazu family, right?" This competition for the next head of the Shima family should be coming to an end, after all, this battle of public martial arts forced Shimazu Nakano to determine his heir in advance, because as the battle of public martial arts progressed, the assassination of the enemy's high-level figure Yu by both sides should become more and more frequent, and the probability of Shimazu Nakano having an accident is very high. ”

"And judging from the current situation, if Shimazu Nakano does not set up an heir as soon as possible, then the Shimazu family is likely to fall into infighting after his accident, because Shimazu Hiromichi and Shimazu Takeshi will feel that they are the new heads of the Shimazu family, and their respective supporters will choose to take sides for their own interests, and even other forces want to take advantage of this opportunity to get a piece of the pie."

"It's impossible for Shimazu Nakano not to understand this, so he should decide his heir during this time, so Shimazu Hiromichi will make such a move at this time, after all, from his point of view, at this time, he can use marriage to obtain the support of another force, then his chances of winning the position of the head of the family can be improved a lot, and Taketori is the most cost-effective object."

"First of all, it is impossible for Shimazu Hiromichi to marry those families with the same status as the Shimazu family, because Shimazu Nakano will suspect that Shimazu Hiromichi has reached a cooperation with that family - that family supports Shimazu Hiromichi as the next head of the Shimazu family, and Shimazu Hiromichi will sell the interests of the family to that family after success, so it is even more unlikely that Shimazu Nakano will hand over the position of head of the family to Shimazu Hiromichi."

"Of course, it is impossible for Shimazu Hiromichi to choose a weak family to marry, because he will not get any support, so Shimazu Hiromichi's best goal is to marry an existence that is stronger than the Shimazu family, and the Shimazu family is one of the most powerful families in the island country at present, and Shimazu Hiromichi can only focus on Taketori as a god, not to mention that he doesn't really want to marry Taketori, but just wants to use Taketori's name to oppress Shimazu Nakano."

At this time, Yin En suddenly realized: "I see, it is impossible for Shimazu Nakano to come to inquire about the progress of Taketori and Shimazu Hiromichi at this time, so Shimazu Hiromichi can completely say some ambiguous words to mislead Shimazu Nakano, so that Shimazu Nakano will favor Shimazu Hiromichi because of Taketori, which is really a good calculation." ”

Ding Kun nodded and continued: "But I don't think that Shimazu Takeshi should be a fuel-efficient lamp, after all, as an inverted son-in-law, he can be on an equal footing with Shimazu Hiromichi, which is already a very remarkable thing, because a son-in-law like him is actually a tool man in many big families, so I am worried that the infighting of the Shimazu family will be staged in advance." ”

Sawada Yayin frowned, nodded and said: "If I'm not mistaken, this Shimazu Takeshi's father used to be Shimazu Nakano's college classmate, at that time Shimazu Nakano had a conflict with another member of a big family at school, so the two sides made an appointment to fight, and Shimazu Takeshi's father helped Shimazu Nakano block a knife at that time, and it was also because of this knife that Shimazu Takeshi's father was weak for many years, and he died when Shimazu Takeshi was in high school, so Shimazu Takeshi had the opportunity to become the son-in-law of the Shimazu family, Of course, Shimazu Takeshi's own ability is still very good, and although Shimazu Hiromichi is also good, he is still inferior to Shimazu Takeshi. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xing couldn't help but have a picture in his mind - Shimazu Takeshi stood in front of Shimazu Hiromichi, who became the head of the family, with a Noh mask, and then yelled "I'm not a man anymore, Daodao".

"So, if Shimazu Nakano now chooses Shimazu Hiromichi as the next head of the Shimazu family, then is it possible that Shimazu Takeshi will choose to establish himself as king, or will he fall to the public faction?" Zhang Jingxu said with a frown.

Sawada Yayin nodded and said affirmatively: "Shimazu Takeshi currently has a lot of supporters in the Shimazu family, and the most important thing is that in those Shimazu family industries, the executives who are not members of the Shimazu family are basically Shimazu Takeshi, so as long as Shimazu Takeshi operates properly, he can divest all those Shimazu family industries out of the Shimazu family in a short period of time, if this is the case, then the Shimazu family will be greatly damaged, and the pattern of the samurai faction will also be disrupted. Because the Shimazu family, whose strength has been damaged, can no longer serve as the leader of the samurai faction. ”

"Dominoes ... If there is turmoil in the Shimazu family, then the samurai faction may also fall into civil strife, because the samurai faction except for the Shimazu family is not enough to convince the public, and then it is possible that the samurai faction will become a mess! Liu Xing said worriedly.

Liu Xing sighed, knowing that this battle for the heir of the Shimazu family should be a hurdle that the samurai faction is about to face, if the samurai faction accidentally falls, then the balance of victory will fall in favor of the public faction.

Of course, Liu Xing also knew that the Gongjia faction should also face the same crisis, after all, the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall would not be biased to that side, so the Battle of Gongwu was not a simple race race, but a hurdle race.
