Chapter 51: The First Task

Long Jun's move seems to be plain, but it is actually a desperate gamble. He was betting on how much Emperor Shōhito trusted his words, or did Emperor Shōhito see himself as his own?

What Ryujun said was true, but what Emperor Shōhito thought, he was not sure at all, leaving aside the fact that he had escaped death from the gladiatorial arena, just the fact that he had been a murderer in their eyes was enough for Emperor Shōhito to have enough reason to suspect him.

The Colosseum of the Tokugawa Daimyo was a relatively private place, and Emperor Shakihito had visited it several times in the past, but he did not come uninvited without an invitation from the other party. This time, however, Emperor Akihito received an invitation from the Tokugawa daimyo and told him that it would be a great event.

After staying in the vain position of emperor for a long time, Akihito was naturally unhappy. Rao had a bad relationship with the general in private, but he couldn't tear his face on the surface, and he still had to give this face, so he went to the appointment.

It's just that the Tokugawa Daimyo brought up the marriage so quickly, and it was thrown out when Emperor Akihito made his request, which can't help but make him reminisce: Maybe this time the Tokugawa Daimyo took advantage of watching the duel to put an eyeliner on his side and plot?

Emperor Shohito is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very smart, he has been a puppet emperor for many years, he has long been unwilling to sit still, he has been waiting for the opportunity to turn Xijing upside down, completely control the real power that originally belonged to him, and return to the glory before World War II.

Looking at the unfazed young man in front of him, Emperor Shohito hesitated, in his eyes, Long Jun was a chess piece, but it was an important chess piece, so he must ensure that this chess piece was firmly in his hands, not someone else's attachment.

"If you say that, don't you say that I told the Tokugawa shogun to put you to death?" Emperor Akihito said with a sudden smile and meaning.

"Sure enough, it doesn't match!" Hearing this, Long Jun was secretly happy in his heart, Emperor Shohito had already made his position clear when he said this, and he was saying this now just to further test his true intentions.

Otherwise, if the relationship between the two is really good, Emperor Shōhito doesn't need to say more, just wipe himself out on the spot, and then notify the Tokugawa Daimyo, there is no need to talk nonsense.

"His Majesty the Emperor is a smart man, so I don't think I need to say much about how to choose. The young man was sitting precariously, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was confident.

However, in order to be foolproof, Long Jun was still fully prepared, and he was sure that he would get his talisman the moment he tore his face.

Jokes, he Long Jun has lived in conspiracy since he was a child, how could he not understand this, with a few words from Emperor Shōhito, it is enough to affirm his attitude!

Emperor Shōhito must have been dissatisfied with his status and power, and must have had his own ambitions.

"Nice boy, I believe you. After staring at Long Jun for more than half a minute, Emperor Shohito suddenly burst out of his mouth with a few clear words, and his expression relaxed.

Ryujun is gambling, and he is also gambling, whether to kill a powerful helper for the sake of suspicion in his heart or to choose to unconditionally trust a person whose identity is unknown for the sake of the overall situation, this is actually a difficult choice, but there seems to be magic in Ryujun's words, and Emperor Shohito finally compromised.

"Whew!" Long Jun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, fortunately Emperor Shohito chose to trust him, otherwise he would really have to implement the final plan.

Relying on his family's martial arts to "ride the dragon into the sea", he controlled Guihezi in an instant and took her as a hostage to ensure his own safety, which is a means that will only be used in a desperate situation, but according to the current situation, it is no longer needed.

As for Emperor Zhaoren's deception, Long Jun is not worried, he is still the king of a country. It would be too embarrassing if it went back on its word.

"Okay, since His Majesty the Emperor trusts me, let's get down to business. Long Jun sorted out his mood and spoke.

"Hmm. Emperor Shohito nodded, and his expression became not very good-looking: "I came back to you this time, and it is indeed related to Guihezi." Saying that, Emperor Shohito deliberately glanced at Ryu-kun and continued to add, "You should have guessed what it was, right?"

Emperor Akihito gently shook Kiwako's hand, and his gaze stayed on the young man.

Long Jun coughed lightly, didn't talk nonsense, and directly said his guess: "It should be related to marriage." ”

Sure enough, as soon as Long Jun's words fell, Emperor Shohito's expression faded, quite unsightly, but he immediately nodded and did not refute.

"Sure enough. Long Jun suddenly realized in his heart that his guess was really accurate.

It had already been pointed out, and Long Jun naturally had no need to continue to talk more, so he just stared at Emperor Akihito, waiting for his speech.

Looking at Emperor Akihito's face, it is enough to show that he is unwilling to marry Guihezi, but he may have to do it because of various relationships.

Ryujun analyzed Emperor Shohito's mind clearly, and he had long been proficient in the political stakes, but he was unwilling to take it out to treat his brother, and if he could use it at the moment, he would definitely not be able to waste it.

"Mr. Rudjiv, you are quite right, that is, about the marriage of Gui and Zi. But I'm curious, how do you know so well?"

Emperor Shohito was secretly surprised in his heart, except for a few people, no one else knew about the marriage of Gui and Zi, although Ryujun was a person who came out of the Tokugawa Daimyo's Colosseum, but his previous identity was just a hard-pressed little clerk, where would he know so much?

Moreover, the momentum shown by Ryujun was not at all what a small person at the bottom of society should have, which made Emperor Akihito a little surprised: Is the young man in front of him really the person in the information he saw?

If the Tokugawa Daimyo bought him, then how can he explain the true hatred he showed for the Tokugawa Daimyo? A person's words can be adulterated, emotions can be adulterated, but the momentum he shows will not be adulterated, and when Ryujun said that he was going to kill the Tokugawa Daimyo, Emperor Akihito deeply felt an extremely cold coldness, which was a deep hatred from the inside out. Only true hatred can produce this chill.

I believe, because of this, Emperor Akihito chose to believe in Ryujun, because the momentum of the other party is too real. It was a reality that could not be concealed.

"Well," Long Jun pretended to frown, and then raised his head: "If I say that I often pay attention to national affairs, can you believe it?"

With a false shot, Long Jun couldn't find any other better way to answer this question, so he could only come up with these general words. However, he has a basis for saying this, as if Bingjie taught him that everyone has the responsibility to care about national affairs.

"I see. Hearing Ryujun's somewhat mocking words, the lines of Emperor Akihito's solid face trembled, and he smiled heartily.

"Yes, yes, it's rare that people pay so much attention to national affairs. ”

Gui Hezi was staring at his father from the side, pouting, a little unhappy, obviously talking about her, why did it seem that the two of them were chatting casually?

As if sensing Guiheko's displeasure, Emperor Akihito smiled for a moment, stopped the movement of the corners of his mouth, and then said seriously: "Since Mr. Rujifu understands this, then I don't have to talk nonsense, the first task I want to give you is to protect Princess Kiwako and not let her hurt in the slightest, remember, this injury is any harm!"

After saying that, Emperor Shohito smiled, hoping that the warrior in front of him would agree.

"He's thinking, which means that he attaches great importance to it!" Seeing that Long Jun was in thought, Emperor Shohito was a little happy in his heart, and Long Jun did not accept it, which showed that he knew the importance of this matter, and compared his ability to take on this important task.

Guihezi also looked at Long Jun a little nervously, especially the way Long Ao's eyebrows were twisted together, which made her even more anxious, after all, the candidate who proposed to protect herself by name this time was proposed by herself, in case it was rejected, wouldn't it be very faceless?

Long Jun's strength, she could see it that day, not only resisted the dazzling attack of the wolves, but also retreated for the rest of her life. The clothes are stained with blood, and they are all their enemies, and this kind of strong strength naturally makes this girl who lives in the royal family a little excited.

In addition, Ryujun's appearance is not bad, and when Emperor Shōhito offered to accompany him, Kiwako blurted out "Rujifu" without hesitation.

The father and daughter stared at Long Jun with a look of hope, their hearts were bottomless, and they seemed to be very embarrassed when they looked at Long Jun, but the next moment, they were extremely speechless.

"Oh, who is Gui and Zigong going to marry?"
