Chapter 165: The Siege
Empress Shizuko turned to the Ming Imperial Front again.
"Sister, you think the same thing, don't you?!"
"Sister, in this world, I only obey you and the saint. I don't care about anything else. Ming Yuqian replied calmly.
"If you are true to this, then let us retire completely! Whether it is the ugly court, or the vicious faces of the courtiers and samurai vying for power, I have long been tired of it, and I have always insisted on it because I thought that your sisters liked court life. ”
"As long as the concubines and sisters are with His Majesty, it is enough, nothing else matters!"
Emperor Ming then said to Empress Shizuko: "Yes, I think exactly the same as my sister. ”
The plot has a shocking reversal at this moment, and a bright and blind bloody scene catches Salian off guard. Regardless of Salian's feelings, Emperor Chongde disappeared with Empress Shizuko and Emperor Ming on the left and right.
With that, all the illusory sights disappeared from Salian's eyes, leaving only the ruins of the dilapidated palace chambers and the four bronze pillars. The shocked Salian could not recover for a long time, and he did not even realize that the girls were all awake.
"Oh, what about the good negotiations?, I organized half an hour of perfect political criticism and the language of the anti-court struggle, and I didn't use it?!"
Just as he was talking to himself, he heard a crisp voice shouting proudly.
"Salian, don't stand there like a fool and feel sorry for yourself, come and save us!"
Hitomi's words finally brought Salian back to reality.
"Hey, hey, I'm sorry, beauties, I'm coming. ”
He carefully untied the ropes from the four girls and helped them move safely to the ground. Next, Salian opened the door and let the anxiously waiting Sakura and Phantom Jade also enter the Emperor's palace.
While the beauties were bustling with each other, Salian pulled Hitomi over and asked in a low voice.
"What the hell is going on, what happened to you after you were captured by Emperor Chongde, why do you seem to be a clown, and the victory has nothing to do with me at all!"
Xiao Hitomi smiled and replied quietly: "Well, you have to ask Lord Guanglu." I didn't do anything, but when I saw that the Kwangroku chamberlain was taken away by Empress Shizuko for a while, they should have talked in secret, and then we were stunned by some kind of spice. ”
"I see, I'll find a chance to ask the chamberlain. By the way, Phantom Jade has officially become your sister and Chieko's. ”
"Oh, if you stay in our Far Eastern Islands for a year, you will be able to wipe out all the beauties of our country. ”
"I'm the most harmless of humans!"
In this way, everyone returned to the imperial capital safely. Salian was still carrying a strange mass of objects in his hands.
"I congratulate you on your victorious return, and the Shogunate and the Emperor Go-Farm will remember your merits. ”
In the Zuo Minister's Mansion, Zhihuizi held a banquet for seven people to catch the wind and wash the dust. During this period, in order to unify the command of the shogunate army in the region, the ruling Nanjo punctuality officially appointed Tomoeko Nanjo as the general of the Kansai shogunate army.
"Sebastian, I really should take you there, there are a lot of monsters there who are good at mind control and soul spells. But I'm tired, hahahaha!"
"Didn't that just hone your skills, and there are a lot of things to do in the imperial capital, I have killed several waves of bandits in the past few days, and it is said that they were all sent by the evil party Yulin Zhengcheng to contain us. ”
At the banquet, Salian and Sebastian talk while drinking and enjoying the ape's music.
"In this stormy situation, can the Nanjo family really survive the difficulties? Oh, the chamberlain is here, and she is still so radiant. ”
"Haha, according to the standards of our Western Continent, she is a sword master, and her spear skills are extremely beautiful even in my eyes. As it happens, I also have something I want to ask her. ”
"Hehe, do you want to do something to the chamberlain?"
"Hehe, if you have the chance. ”
Through the help of Xiao Tong and Phantom Jade, in a side room next to the main hall, Guanglu's chamberlain finally solved the doubts in Sally's peace of mind.
"Lord Zhonglang, I just talked to Her Majesty the Empress about her relationship with the Emperor, and the Queen also put her heart to me, their sisters originally had no ambitions, but they just didn't want the Emperor to be overshadowed by both the public and the military. She promised me that I would test your skills, and if you couldn't defeat you, you would leave the island with Emperor Chongde and go to the island of the Hidden Gods, never to return. Adults will know what is going on. ”
"Oh, in that case, the reason why we were able to win easily was due to the Chamberlain!"
"Hehe, I didn't do anything, but this trip to Asuka Palace made me understand a lot of things, and Empress Shizuko was just inspired by me. ”
The so-called Hidden Island is actually a very special place in the Far Eastern Islands, and its exact location is unknown, but it is surrounded by thick clouds and mist all year round in the ocean to the east of the island. It is said that for only three days a year, fishermen can faintly see the summit of the island in the distance. It lies between this and past lives, both yin and yang, and the living will never be able to reach it. Emperor Chongde and the two concubines will not be disturbed by anyone anymore.
That night, Salian invited his friend Sebastian to the dungeon of the Left Minister's Palace, where he borrowed a torture room from Chieko for fun.
"My friend, this is the monster I caught in the Bird Palace, in fact, there is a hybrid creature of the Enlightened Soul and the Demon God that I am more interested in, but the strength is too strong to catch it alive. ”
"Hehe, what's the use of him, my friend. ”
"The strength of this thing itself is not worth mentioning, but its body can actually achieve visible light stealth, infrared light stealth and electromagnetic stealth at the same time. If it hadn't been for some preparation, I wouldn't have discovered it. ”
"Oh, that's kind of interesting, why, do you want me to master its brain?"
"Well, I can only stimulate the brain of this monster, and it depends on you to read it. ”
Having made up their minds, the two of them immediately tortured the monster, which was still awake but had lost all mobility and speech skills, on the torture table with terrifying secret techniques for a long time.
"Whew, it's done. Sebastian wiped his sweat with his handkerchief and looked at the monster that had become a puddle of dead flesh and said, "Roughly figured it out, the key is its skin and visual system." I didn't expect its willpower to be so weak, and many of its methods died without using it. ”
"Hehe, what's the catch?"
The Imperial Count replied with a smile.
"On the one hand, its skin can absorb all kinds of electromagnetic waves and a wide range of light waves, minimizing reflections. ”
"Well, this kind of research is also being done by many people in the Western continent, and I heard that some products work very well. ”
"Yes, but the technology of the Far Eastern Islands also has its own uniqueness. You see. ”
As he spoke, Sebastian flipped over the monster's corpse and pointed to a black orb on its neck.
"This thing is its third eye, and it can project the effects of its back to its front through linkage with its skin. ”
"I see, it's a clever way, it's very inspiring. ”
"I'll cut off a piece of skin and eyes and bring it back to Elluby, the little goblin, and she'll be happy. ”
"Hey, no problem!"
Now, the problem in front of the shogunate is that Yuki Masanari, who is still guarding Aosaka Castle, and the 30,000 shogunate troops of Ashikasa Yoshitaka have been besieging the city for more than a month, and they are helpless against this evil party with only 500 men.
According to this, at the request of Chieko Nanjo, the general of the Imperial Shogunate Army, Salion, Sebastian, and the female ninja Ranzakura, who was the leader of the mercenaries, also came to Aosaka Castle to assist Ashigasa Yoshitaka in the siege.
Located on the top of Tong Mountain in Nam Hanoi-gun, Hoju, Aosaka Castle is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, with only a steep slope on the west side covered with dense forests for people and horses to pass. When the three of them arrived at the camp of Ashikasa Yoshitaka, they immediately held an emergency military meeting with this important figure of the Hara clan.
Since the establishment of the shogunate in Aishu a hundred years ago, the Ashikasa family has been one of the eight powerful imperial families under the shogun, standing side by side with the Nanjo family. He played a major role in the establishment of the shogunate. Since then, the Ashigasa family has always been on the winning side in every internal power struggle within the shogunate. So to this day, although they can't be compared with the most favored royal people under the ruling Nanjo family, the Ashika family is also reused by the shogunate, and their wife is also the sister of the former ruling Nanjo Jingshi, which can be said to be graceful.
And there was another person in the military council who also aroused Salian's great interest. This person is the deputy general of Yoshitaka Ashikasa, and Yoshisada is known as the fierce general of heaven and earth.
Salian used sound transmission magic to communicate with his friends: "Sebastian, this lieutenant general is good-looking, and I can't see the depth clearly, and his strength should not be underestimated!"
"Well, it's true. ”
For the sake of convenience in the future, we will also mention that the other family of the Hara clan, the Ashika family, has been gradually shrinking for a long time because this family does not know how to figure out the mind of the ruler. Although he is still respected as the head of the original clan and holds the family treasure that has been passed down from generation to generation from his ancestor Lai Guanggong - the famous sword "Ghost Cut", the territory he owns is only a few towns, not even a county, and the Ashikasa family who controls the power of more than ten counties is really different.
This time, the Xiangshu shogunate also asked Shinae Yoshisada to send Lang Party to the battle in the Kanto region, but the Shinae family, who had already been in debt, couldn't make up the money anyway, and in the end, they were able to set off on time with the support of the Ashika family, so as not to be punished by the shogunate.
Now Yoshisada is participating in the military council with Yoshitaka Ashikasa, the Yoshitaka brothers of Ashikasa, Salian, and Sebastian. Because of his weak power, although his family is high, he can only serve as the deputy general of Ashikasa Yoshitaka.
The military council first reported the current situation of the enemy and the enemy by Yoshitaka Ashikasa.
"Two lords, I have strictly ordered to intensify the attack on Qingban Castle, but the mountain road is dangerous, and the attacking troops must attack upward along the steep slope to the west of the city, not only will they be attacked by the defenders on the front wall, but also from the dense forests on both sides, they will also encounter the harassment of bows and arrows and rocks, so I can't guard against it. However, every time we sent troops to sweep through the forest, we could not find those evil parties. ”
Xinmiao Yizhen said hatefully on the side.
"Hmph, these guys are very familiar with the terrain of this place, and they don't want to go head-to-head, we are too strong to catch it!"
