When Lucius was concentrating on mechanizing Soga Inamome and Takeda Koji, the atmosphere in the small village of Chiba was extremely oppressive.

The female emperor Sakura Rinko stood alone in the courtyard of the shrine, pacing back and forth nervously, it seemed that she seemed to be very anxious, and the people standing next to her, one by one, also had solemn faces, and could feel the atmosphere in the entire courtyard, and even the atmosphere in the entire small village, seemed extremely depressing.

Du Liniang looked at the scene outside, felt the solemn atmosphere, turned her head and said to a few people in the room: "It seems that the female emperor is in trouble. ”

Caroline sneered and said: "It must be in big trouble, it seems that after her identity is exposed, I am afraid that it will cause a lot of disasters, I am afraid that the Tokugawa family will definitely not give up on her, so sometimes, it is very important to keep a low profile, and it is easy to attract disasters if you are high-profile." ”

Christine couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "Hehe, some things can't just be seen on the surface, I don't think she's in trouble, maybe what seems to be troublesome will turn into something that makes her turn the situation around." ”

Qi Li'er was a little puzzled, and immediately asked: "Why is this? Looking at their appearance, it seems that what is happening is very urgent, and it does look like a disaster." ”

Christine pushed her glasses and said very calmly: "I have already said that some things cannot be just looked at the surface, and now she is being attacked by a powerful daimyo next to Chiba and Saitama, but in fact, you look at this map of Fuso country." ”

As she spoke, Christine pointed to the map in front of her, and everyone leaned over to look at the map and follow the line that Christine pointed to. Vaguely seemed to capture something.

But everyone was not sure, and Christine then pointed to Chiba and Saitama and said, "Look here." This is where the capital of Fuso Province is located, and they call it Kyoto. It can be said that it is between Saitama and Chiba, so why would the daimyo of Saitama cross Kyoto and attack us directly?"

Caroline had a puzzled look on her face, looked at the map and asked puzzledly: "Indeed, it stands to reason that the identity of the female emperor was exposed, and the news should have been transmitted to Kyoto first, why did Kyoto not move, but it was the daimyo of Saitama who suddenly sent troops to Chiba? It seems that the daimyo of Saitama had no grudge against the Takeda family before, right?"

Christine smiled and asked, "That's the crux of the matter." Why didn't Kyoto make a move, but it was Saitama's daimyo who did it first?"

Du Liniang seemed to understand something, stared at the map and muttered: "So, in fact, this war is just a play?

Modès suddenly exclaimed: "Is it a temptation from Kyoto? Then the female emperor is so strict, won't she expose her situation to others? When the general who controls Kyoto sends troops to come, how will the female emperor deal with the other party's army?"

Christine smiled and shook her head: "No, she doesn't need to deal with anything, after being completely exposed, she will be able to attract the forces in Kyoto." In order to get rid of her, the general will inevitably overwhelm the border, and she doesn't need to come forward at that time, as long as we can come forward to deal with it. ”

Listened to Christine's words. Moddies and Gillier were shocked, but when they thought about it, they seemed to understand something completely.

Without waiting for Christine to continue explaining, Qi Lier said, "I see. The female emperor wanted to take advantage of this crisis. Come and test us, or the strength of Lucius?"

"Clever. Christine couldn't help but laugh. "Kiriel, I suddenly noticed that you seem to have become clever enough to deduce such a situation from the little information I have provided, hehe, Caroline, it looks like your competition is going to become more and more fierce. ”

Being deliberately teased by Christine, Caroline suddenly glared at her, and then looked at Qi Lier coldly and said, "Some people are only smart for a while. ”

Qi Lier must have been very unconvinced by Caroline's obvious provocation and contempt, and immediately began to ridicule each other: "Hehe, Sister Caroline, it seems that you were not smart before, you only know how to solve problems with violence, could it be that your cleverness is only temporary?"

Seeing that the war between Caroline and Qi Lier was provoked by Christine, Du Liniang quickly stopped the two and said, "Okay, can you stop talking nonsense?

was reprimanded by Du Liniang, and everyone present immediately closed their mouths, only a hint of triumph appeared faintly at the corner of Christine's mouth.

Du Liniang caught that hint of triumph, and warned Christine with some annoyance: "Finally, I am warning you once, don't forget the environment we are in now, Lucius believes in us, so he left us behind, you don't end up wasting Lucius's hard work." ”

Christine's way of nature, Du Liniang was warning herself, she restrained the smile on the corner of her mouth, and bowed to Du Liniang to express her apology.

Du Liniang didn't pursue anything more, and then there was a calm in the room, several people looked at each other, and the atmosphere looked a little awkward.

However, at this moment, the door of the wing room was gently pushed open, and everyone immediately looked over and saw Shirou sneaking into the room, as if he had brought new news.

But before Shirou could speak, Du Liniang took the first step to speak: "Little guy, didn't I already warn you, wouldn't you better not come to us at this time? We will let Ying go and contact you, why did you suddenly come here again? Aren't you afraid that your sister will find out?"

Although Du Liniang's expression was very strict, Shirou knew very well that Du Liniang was not malicious, and the reason why he warned him was a kind of protection for him, worried that because he had too much contact with everyone, the female emperor would be dissatisfied, and Shirou would be implicated in some suffering at that time.

Shi Langhan smiled and said: "Auntie, I was very careful when I came, and I would never be discovered by my sister, but now my family is rising with my sister, and my mother has also begun to help my sister keep an eye on me, I will try to come as little as possible in the future." ”

In fact, Du Liniang and others like Shilang very much, a young man, in the eyes of everyone. He was like everyone's little brother, out of that adoration of Lucius. would rather turn his back on his sister and family, but also secretly help Du Liniang and others bring all kinds of news. This dedication deeply touched everyone present.

Therefore, even Konstantin, who is usually relatively cold to people, will occasionally point out something to Shirou, so that Shirou's strength has gradually made a qualitative leap.

Today's Shirou, although there is a big gap between him and the ghost warriors, but ordinary samurai are probably not his opponents, especially the strange sword skills he learned from Ei, which simply made his strength very terrifying.

But what makes Ying feel a pity is that Shirou's personality is very upright. As a result, some of Shadow's shady moves, Shirou has never been able to practice them perfectly because of psychological resistance, and sometimes Shadow even complains that Shirou should follow Caroline to learn those frontal charging martial arts.

However, complaining and complaining, Shadow still tried his best to teach Shirou, making Shirou's sword skills stronger and stronger, and almost reached the level of a high-ranking samurai in Fuso Country.

If those samurai don't use the power of demons and gods, I'm afraid that they will be able to outperform Shirou in sword skills alone. Among the many samurai in the entire Chiba, I am afraid that there are very few.

In his love for Shirou, everyone present was naturally very worried about him, afraid that he would be involved in the battle between Lucius and the empress, and in the end he would be blacked out by the empress in a fit of anger. That kind of ending is really not what everyone wants to see, and I believe it is also what Lucius does not want to see.

Shirou also understands everyone's protection of him, so he doesn't talk about it. He explained his intention to everyone directly: "I just heard that the Takeda family did not resist the foreign Daimyo army. Now Chiba Castle is already under the city, and I heard that there is a group of samurai troops. Thinking about our village rushing. ”

After listening to Shirou's words, everyone present was shocked, and they looked at each other one by one, but they were speechless for a long time, and it was not difficult to see that the information brought by Shirou was not good news for everyone.

After being silent for a long time, Du Liniang put a smile on her face and said to Shilang: "You go back first, remember, it's best not to come to us during this time, and you must stay with your sister as much as possible." ”

Although Du Liniang said with a smile, Shilang already felt the heaviness in the other party's words, and understood that I was afraid that this news was not good news for the family, and it might lead to a lot of problems, so Shilang did not continue to stay, said goodbye to everyone and left quietly.

After Shirou left, Du Liniang looked around at the crowd and said, "Tell me, what do you think?" It seems that the female emperor is planning to bring the trouble to us to solve. ”

Konstantin first spoke: "Don't think about it, this matter is starting to get a little troublesome, Lucius hasn't come back for a long time, and the attitude of Oda Nobumitsu and Taiyuan Xuezhai has also become a little **, I'm afraid that now, even Taiyuan Xuezhai will be suspicious of us." ”

has always cherished the shadow of words like gold, but this time he spoke for the second time: "In this way, I'm afraid that Taiyuan Xuezhai and Oda Nobumitsu also want to test us through this matter." ”

Christine sneered and said: "This is inevitable, when Lucius was here, they didn't dare to have any dissent, at that time they thought that Neilusius had shown his strength, and now that Lucius has quietly left and disappeared, they will naturally have doubts about us and will not be willing to serve us." ”

Caroline suddenly laughed: "I'm a little curious, what kind of strength did Lucius show in front of them? That Taiyuan Xuezhai is obviously a very proud guy, he will actually die for Lucius, this matter really makes me very curious." ”

Everyone else present was also puzzled, obviously everyone was a little curious about the strength that Lucius might show, and everyone didn't actually know Lucius's true methods for so many years.

On the contrary, Constantine had seen Lucius make a move in the resting place, and said with trepidation: "You all actually underestimate Lucius, you think he is just a mechanic, just a high-level magician of the eleventh level, if you see him wielding a double sword, you will feel terrified." ”

Hearing Konstantin use the words "trembling and frightened", everyone immediately became more curious, in fact, everyone had also seen Lucius turn firearms into double knives, but in everyone's opinion, Lucius's knife skills were not so amazing.

Seeing the disdain of his words, Konstantin couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Have you ever wondered whose sword skills Lucius used in front of you? ”

Konstantin did not continue to speak, but looked at everyone quietly, and their faces suddenly became extremely shocked.

The knife skills that Lu Xius showed everyone were actually Du Liniang and Ying's knife skills, but he had never learned from Du Liniang and Ying, but he was able to use them freely, and he seemed to have almost no flaws, and even used that sword skill to defeat others, which was simply unimaginable.

Originally, it seemed that Shirou was able to learn some of his sword skills so quickly, and he was already a genius, and it can be said that Shirou's talent was very high.

However, thinking that Lucius had never learned from him, but had only quietly observed himself, and was able to simulate the sword skills he used, Ying suddenly felt that Lucius was simply a legendary demon.

Seeing everyone's gaze, Konstantin couldn't help but smile and said: "Now you should understand that Lucius is terrible, right? So don't underestimate him, let alone think that he is just a mechanic, in fact, he is a really wise and foolish guy, low-key and intimidating." ”

After listening to Konstantin's evaluation of Lucius, and linking some of Lucius's usual expressions, everyone present couldn't help but feel a little chilling in their hearts.

Christine, who originally disagreed with Lucius, now has a deep fear of Lucius in her heart, and begins to worry about what kind of ending her brother will get if he chooses to turn against Lucius......?
