Chapter 404: Entering the General's Mansion at Night
At night, on the small streets of Edo Castle, Li Mu took Shuang'er and others to wander around the streets boringly. Although Edo was bustling at this time, it was rarely crowded at night. The bustling streets during the day were deserted at this time, and occasionally one or two drunken drunkards came out of the tavern and staggered in the direction of their home.
"How long is this going to be, I've been walking for more than an hour, and I haven't seen anything." Shuang'er looked at the quiet streets around him helplessly, "It's better for us to kill it directly." Anyway, it's just an ordinary person, can anything big happen if you kill it directly? ”
Li Mu thought about it and felt that it was the same reason. Although there are rumors in the city that there are umbrella demons, it may not be true, and even if it is, they don't need to eradicate it, after all, the Tokugawa family and the Yanagi family are their main targets.
After making up his mind, Li Mu said, "Let's go, let's go to Shogun Tokugawa's house and give him some gifts." ”
Just as Li Mu was about to leave, a sound suddenly came from the entrance of the street.
"It's really hard to get by stepping on the iron shoes, nowhere to find it......" Li Mu laughed helplessly, this umbrella demon is not found anywhere when you need to meet it, and when you don't need it, it will appear immediately.
"Since it has appeared, let it be done for you." Li Mu looked at the umbrella demon with a long red tongue, holding a broken oil-paper umbrella, and holding a worn-out long knife raised his right hand, and a star flashed from the tip of Li Mu's fingers, and then, the umbrella demon exploded with a bang, and all kinds of fragments were scattered everywhere, leaving a big soul floating towards Li Mu.
After putting away the soul, Li Mu waved his hand at everyone, "Hurry up, everyone follow, we have to catch up tonight." As he spoke, he walked towards the Tokugawa Shogun's residence.
The Tokugawa family lived in a huge mansion in Edo Castle, with nearly a thousand servants and maids.
"Do you really think of yourself as a general?" Li Mu looked at Tokugawa's mansion and chuckled, and then led people all the way into the room in the center unimpeded. At this time, the lights were still on in the house, and from time to time there were bursts of conversation.
Li Mu put illusions on everyone, and then quietly came to the door and listened.
At this moment, a rough voice came from the room, "Is the tribute I want ready?" If I go on like this, I'm going to consider changing a spokesperson, maybe the next thing will be more profitable. ”
"My lord, the amount of tribute you need is too much, even if I am a general, I can't make up so many people in one moment. You must know that the number of prisoners in the prison is also limited, and the feudal lords in each region also have considerable autonomy, so I can't meddle in the affairs of their domain at will, even if I want a few prisoners. So please forgive me some time, I have already sent people to the surrounding villages to arrest the displaced people, and I am sure that there will be news soon. A hoarse voice said.
"Hmph, aren't there so many people in the city? Wouldn't it be nice to use them as tribute? Why all the trouble. The gruff voice said.
"You don't know this, Edo has today's prosperity all thanks to them, and without them, I wouldn't have enough money and food to maintain my position as a great general." The husky voice explained.
"Anyway, three more days is the best day to sacrifice, and if you miss it, you don't know when the next sacrifice will be. If you think about it, if you succeed in your sacrifice, then you will gain the same strength and longevity as our demon clan. When the time comes, who else will be your opponent in the whole world, these feudal lords in various places will not let you kill them, and the whole country will really fall into your hands. With great power, you can enjoy it forever. How long can you enjoy as a human being? Twenty years? Fifty years? Or a hundred years? In our demon clan, one or two hundred years are still just little monsters. So think about it. The gruff voice continued to persuade.
"This ...... Well, that's what you want, but you can't go back on what you promised me. The hoarse voice seemed to be moved, hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"Very well, I was not mistaken. Hahahaha. The gruff voice burst out laughing.
"It's really exciting, I guessed right, you really want to make a big news, and you also got together with the demon clan, isn't it, Tokugawa-sama." Li Mu walked out of the shadows and applauded softly.
"Who are you and how did you end up here." A fat man dressed in a gorgeous dress stood up from the low table, holding a small paper fan in his hand, and said in a hoarse voice.
"Me? A little person who is not worth mentioning. Li Mu shook his head, "When it comes to Lord Tokugawa, you actually want to sacrifice the people of the whole city, and you really want to leave a name for eternity." ”
"Hmph, how do you mortals know my ambition and mind, my goal is not just a general, but the world's martial arts." General Tokugawa said in a hoarse voice, he turned to a middle-aged man in a red robe next to him and said, "Senzu-sama, this person overheard our conversation, I'm afraid it will be bad for us, so please take action to deal with them." ”
"It's okay, it's just a few mortals, look at ......me," the middle-aged man in red also stood up and said in a rough voice. It's just that he couldn't speak anymore as soon as he said half of it, and the beads of sweat on his face were dripping down, because Li Mu had already released the coercion of his silver median.
With a snort, the thousand-legged adult rose into the sky and gradually grew larger, and his body gradually changed from a middle-aged man to a giant centipede. However, before he was halfway there, a chain of lightning caught him firmly and dragged him straight from the sky.
Bang, a huge pit with a radius of more than ten meters appeared in the courtyard of the General's Mansion, and a huge centipede appeared in the pit.
"I hate creatures with a lot of legs the most." Li Mu said as he took out a rifle that had not been used for a long time from his bag, and then pulled the trigger continuously on the head of the giant centipede.
Bang bang bang.
With a series of explosions, the huge centipede's hard skull, which was as hard as gold and stone, was blasted open a large hole, and the contents of it were completely blown to pieces. Then a shadow beast crawled out of the shadow of the centipede's corpse and ate the corpse of the centipede one by one.
Looking at the empty pit, Li Mu nodded, "Only the disappeared centipede is a good centipede." ”
Then he kicked Tokugawa General to the ground, then kicked off the other party's two legs, and then said to Torhime and Baihime, "This is the real culprit behind Yanagi Yuki's persecution of your family, and I will leave it to you to dispose of yourself, Shuang'er, follow me to the general's treasury to see what can be taken." ”
