The yellow sand drifted away with the wind, and Yuko Jingu stepped forward, looking at the scattered yellow sand and was very puzzled, and couldn't help but ask Lucius in a low voice: "What kind of power is this?"

In Fuso's witchcraft and ninjutsu, there is also this ability to disappear into other things, as a witch of the Imperial Shrine, Jingu Yuko has naturally seen a lot of strange ways to disappear, but the almost complete transformation into yellow sand in front of her, especially the scene of the yellow sand condensing the blade before, made her feel extremely surprised.

Lucius looked at the yellow sand that disappeared into the wind, his face was not sad or joyful, and he calmly explained to Yuko Jingu: "This is the power that does not belong to your Fuso, it does not belong to the Middle-earth civilization, and it is not the power of the Western civilization, this is the power between the East and the West, and the empire was buried under the yellow sand. ”

"Is the Sand Sea Civilization?" Yuko Kamiya was surprised, obviously unable to believe that the civilization that had been buried in the Yellow Sand Empire could still appear in Fuso.

Maybe other people in Fusang may not know about the Sand Sea Civilization, but as a shrine maiden of the Imperial Shrine, Yuko Jingu has received a special education from the Shrine since she was a child, and has some understanding of the Eastern Middle-earth civilization, and some Western civilizations, and even the Sand Sea Civilization buried by the yellow sand.

It's just that she had only heard about it before, but now she was very surprised when she saw the visitors of the so-called Sand Sea Civilization with her own eyes, and at the same time, she was also a little afraid of the scattered yellow sand.

Seeing the horror on Yuko Jinguya's face, Lucius smiled and said, "Hehe, don't worry, that guy doesn't dare to come back for the time being, he has already given up the Tokugawa family." ”

As he spoke, Lucius looked at the main hall of the shrine, and just happened to see Tokugawa Ihiko standing in front of the main hall, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he smiled and said to Tokugawa Iehiko: "Tokugawa Shogun, can we have a good talk? I think we need to talk, maybe we can find a mutually beneficial solution?"

For Tokugawa Iehiko, there is no other emotion in his heart now than shock and fear. Especially when he remembered the brief confrontation between the two just now, and now facing Lucius alone made him feel hopeless.

Lucius was actually very aware of Tokugawa Iehiko's psychology now, and walked slowly towards the other party, while always having a peaceful smile on his face.

It wasn't until Lucius walked in front of him that Tokugawa Ihiko finally came to his senses, looked at Lucius who was close at hand, and wanted to retreat, but as soon as he took a step back, he was blocked by the steps behind him, if he hadn't stopped in time. I am afraid that I have fallen on my back in the main hall behind me.

Seeing Tokugawa Isahiko sitting on the front steps of the main hall, Lucius shook his head with a smile and said, "Don't be so frightened, in fact, I have no malicious intent, I am here to give you a way out." ”

"You, what do you mean by that?" Tokugawa Ihiko was really afraid of Lucius, and the martial arts shown by the other party before made him clearly know that he was definitely not Lucius's opponent, if the other party planned to kill him. Tokugawa Iehiko didn't think he could resist.

As a result, Tokugawa Iehiko was terrified of Lecius, an instinctive struggle with his fear of death as a shogun and his reluctance to give up power.

Lucius leaned forward and leaned close to Tokugawa Iehiko's ear. He whispered: "The way I give you to live is very simple, you just need to return the power in your hands to the emperor, and I can let the emperor destroy the death penalty of your Tokugawa family, and even let your emperor." Grant you the nobility of the Tokugawa family. ”

Tokugawa Isahiko stared at Lucius dumbfounded, a little unable to believe what his ears were hearing, or rather he could not believe Lucius's promise.

Seeing that Tokugawa Iehiko was silent. Lucius naturally understood his hesitation, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you have also seen my methods, since I promised you, I can naturally do it." ”

Tokugawa Iehiko looked at Lucius in disbelief, his eyes revealed deep doubts, obviously he was still skeptical of Lucius's words, worried that once he chose to surrender, or really agreed to join the emperor, when he handed over his military power, it would be the time for him to die.

For Tokugawa Ihiko still didn't believe in him, Lucius gradually became a little impatient, stood up and looked back at Yuko Shingu and said, "Yuko, I'll leave it to you." ”

Tokugawa Iehiko suddenly raised his head when he heard this, and looked over in great puzzlement, and when Lucius got out of the way, he saw a beautiful woman walking towards him, and her swaying figure was extremely tempting.

Just by looking at it, Tokugawa Ihiko was instantly lost, only the swaying figure was left in his eyes, and he only felt that the desire in his heart was infinitely expanded in an instant, and he couldn't control the desire in his heart at all, and when he stood up, he wanted to pounce on the woman who was walking towards him.

Looking at Tokugawa Iehiko, whose eyes were straight, Yuko Jingu stretched out her finger and gently brushed his chin, and whispered softly: "Tokugawa General, why don't you agree to His Highness Lucius?"

Hearing the voice that seemed to be floating from the sky, looking at Yuko Jingu, who was close at hand, Tokugawa Isahiko forcibly suppressed the urge to pounce on the other party, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, raised his hand tremblingly and said: "I, I actually don't want to resist His Highness Lucius, I, I am willing, I promise you everything." ”

Seeing this, Lucius was very satisfied, stepped forward to pull away Yuko Shingu, walked up to Tokugawa Ihiko with a smile, and gave Tokugawa Ihiko a slap with his hand.

Directly woke up the addicted Tokugawa Iehiko, and at the same time looked at Tokugawa Iehiko and said, "How is it? Now it seems that you have a choice? In fact, I think the conditions I gave you are already very good." ”

At this moment, the voice of Yasumasa Kamihara came from the bottom of the mountain: "General, are you still here, are you still in the shrine?" Sakai Tadaji has something important to report to you, and I ask the general to allow me to enter the shrine. ”

Tadaji Sakai stood at the bottom of the mountain and shouted for a while, and soon saw someone coming out of the shrine, and when he looked intently, he was immediately frightened by what he saw.

Sakai Tadaji felt that his feet were already fast, but he didn't expect others to be faster than him, although he hadn't seen Lucius, but seeing the young man standing in front of the shrine at this moment, he instantly guessed the identity of the other party, and was able to determine that the young man in front of him was Lucius.

Seeing that the other party took the lead, Sakai Tadaji knew that he was still slow in the end, sighed and looked up at the other party and asked: "Your Excellency, it must be His Royal Highness from the West, I don't know how my general was disposed of by Your Excellency?"

Lucius took two steps to the side and let the somewhat depressed Tokugawa Ihiko out, and it seemed that Tokugawa Isahiko looked like he was much older despite agreeing to Lucius.

When Tokugawa Iehiko saw Sakai Tadaji standing alone at the foot of the mountain, he immediately felt that Sakai Tadaji had come too late, but he had no other way now, so he could only say helplessly: "Sakai, from today on, all the troops of the Tokugawa family will be at the disposal of His Royal Highness Lucius." ”

After listening to Tokugawa Iehiko's words, Sakai Tadaji suddenly felt empty in his heart, he rushed to the scene, but he still couldn't change anything, and it seemed that he was already doomed.

Soon Kamihara Yasumasa also led a large army to arrive, and after learning the same news, Kamihara Yasumasa did not have the stunned Sakai Tadaji, he was more indifferent, and even knelt directly in front of the stone steps at the bottom of the mountain, kowtowing to Lucius to express his loyalty.

Lu Xius looked at the troops brought by Kamihara Yasumasa, his mind suddenly turned his mind, and he thought of a good plan, so he ordered Kamihara Yasumasa: "Kamihara, you are now leading this group of warriors under your command to search for me all over the rivers and lakes, and find out those guys from Middle-earth for me." ”

Kamihara Yasumasa glanced at Tokugawa Iehiko meaningfully, the latter barely said anything, obviously having accepted his fate, and Kamihara Yasumasa didn't say anything more, and took the order that Lucius gave him.

After Lucius finished assigning the task, he watched Kamihara Yasumasa lead the army to leave, then turned to look at Tokugawa Iehiko beside him and said: "Tokugawa General, you should go back to Edo Castle first to prepare, welcome the emperor back to Kyoto, I hope you can do your best, I don't like to delay time." ”

Although Tokugawa Isahiko was a little unwilling, he didn't struggle too much, and bowed directly to Lucius, and walked down the shrine hill after taking it.

However, after Tokugawa Iehiko took a few steps, Lecius's voice sounded behind him again: "Tokugawa Iehiko, your Emperor Xià wants to be able to return to Kyoto to live, so I hope that you can do your best to clean up the Kyoto Emperor's Palace, which has been abandoned for a long time, and let all the imperial families in Edo Castle return to the Kyoto Emperor's Palace." ”

Hearing this, Tokugawa Iehiko stopped, hesitated for a moment, then turned around and knelt down and said to Lucius, "Your Highness, it may take time to clean up the Emperor's Palace. ”

Lucius smiled and replied, "Well, I know all of this, which is why I asked you to speed up the cleanup so that your Emperor can move in again." ”

When Tokugawa Iehiko heard this, he immediately understood that Lucius didn't want to tell him when the emperor would return, and Tokugawa Iehiko couldn't continue to ask, so he could only admit: "Okay, I will do my best to arrange manpower, Your Highness, please rest assured." ”

With that, Tokugawa Iehiko got up again, turned around and walked down the mountain, and waited for the help of Tadaji Sakai at the bottom of the mountain, and walked slowly in the direction of Edo Castle.

Seeing the back of Tokugawa Isahiko in the distance, Yuko Shingu came to Lucius's side at some point and asked in a low voice: "If you let him go like this, aren't you afraid that Tokugawa Ihiko will regret it? If he repents and brings back with his troops to kill us, then we can only wait for death?"

Lucius smiled disapprerovingly and said, "Hehe, you really dare to think about it, but Tokugawa Isahiko definitely didn't have this kind of thought in his heart, otherwise he would have died a long time ago." ”

Jingu Yuko was a little puzzled when she heard this, and when she wanted to continue to ask, Lucius didn't give her a chance to ask questions at all, turned around and walked slowly towards the shrine, and said to Jingu Yuko as she walked: "There are some things, you don't need to know too much, this shrine looks good, and the incense here will flourish in the future, so you can stay here."
