In the main house of the shrine dedicated to the gods, Sakura Rinko and Asukina sat opposite each other, and Assuna looked a little restrained and seemed to be a little restless.

Sakura Rinko was much calmer, fiddling with the tea set in front of her, accompanied by the curling green smoke wafting a strong tea fragrance, which instantly filled the entire room, mixed with the smell of incense and candles in the house, giving people a very peaceful feeling, with Sakura Rinko's elegant movements, it looked very pleasing to the eye.

When a cup of tea was poured into the teacup, Sakura Rinko personally picked up the teacup and handed it to Asukina, the whole action seemed very calm and natural, without the majesty of being a monarch at all.

But in the face of the tea cup handed by Sakura Rinko, Sakura Rinko suddenly buried her head in panic, and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, please, please don't be angry, Shirou, Shirou is still a child, he doesn't know anything, he just blindly worships the strong, please don't be angry." ”

Seeing Asukina Makoto bury her head in fear, Sakura Rinko smiled and said, "Hehe, what's wrong? Assuna, we're good sisters, aren't we? I didn't mean to blame you." ”

Saying that, Sakura Rinko put down the tea cup in her hand, stood up and walked over to help Asukina up, and whispered to Asuna: "Asuna, do you know that I was born in the Wai Palace when I was a child, it was a very small palace, my father rarely went there to see me and my mother, and my memory when I was a child, the sky was only as big as the courtyard of the Wai Palace. ”

"Later, a group of ministers suddenly broke into the palace and told me that my father was dead, so I was pushed out in a daze and inherited my father's position. Become your Emperor Xià. ”

"But since then, I haven't seen my mother, and I've been taught a lot of things I don't like, and I have to force myself to learn them, and I don't even have much time to sleep every day, and I've been thinking that I must be a great monarch so that my mother can be proud of me. ”

Lucius was in the fishing village by the sea when he was mechanizing Soga Inamome and Takeda Koji on the steel battleship. Some unstable factors are gradually emerging.

Maybe it was because he knew that Lucius was gone. Sakura-rinko began to come into frequent contact with some samurai daimyos, seemingly trying to convince them to join her command and become a force in her hands, assisting her in overthrowing the Tokugawa family's shogunate at the same time. Restore the original imperial rule.

After she identified herself as emperor. It is Oda Nobumitsu and Taiyuan Yukisai, who led the troops back with the company. They all went to the side room of the shrine where she lived to pay a visit.

Afterwards, Oda Nobumitsu and Taiyuan Xuezhai didn't even specifically explain it to Du Liniang and others, let alone reveal anything that was exchanged in person.

And then later. Under the deliberate propaganda of some people, some samurai of small forces around them also came to pay homage, and even some samurai directly threw themselves into the command of Sakura Rinko, publicly announced their allegiance to Sakura Rinko, handed over all the military power in their hands, and carried out a unified allocation by the Nakazu Kamazu.

Under constant pressure from all sides, Du Liniang and they were forced to move out of the main house of the shrine and give the main house to Sakura Rinko, while they were expelled from the shrine and could only live in Shirou's house under Shirou's arrangement.

In response to this disparity, Qi Li'er first shouted angrily: "What is this? Aren't we going to do something about it now?

Christine pushed her glasses and said with a smile: "Hehe, Sister Qili'er, people are not pretty, they are the real emperors, the real rulers of this land, the descendants of the gods, it is normal to live in the shrine, we are just outsiders, what qualifications do we have to fight?"

Modès then said equally unpleasantly: "But if it weren't for us, without the help of Lecius, with this rabble in her hands, could she help her regain the imperial power?"

Christine replied nonchalantly: "That's natural, so she didn't directly order us to be arrested, nor did she drive us out of Fusang Country." ”

"Hmph, is there any difference between her doing this now and us arresting and driving them out?" Qi Li'er was still very unconvinced.

Du Liniang said calmly: "Okay, it's not about these things now, we have to wait for Lucius to come back, I don't think we can sit still now, Ying, after you contact Oda and Taiyuan, what is the result? What is the attitude of Oda Nobumitsu and Taiyuan Xuezhai?"

Shadow replied expressionlessly: "Both of them are very humble and do not have any arrogance, it seems that they are still following the plan set by Lucius, but ......"

"Still?" Qi Li'er suddenly grabbed the words and said angrily, "Needless to say, those two guys must be against us and have already made preparations to betray us." ”

As soon as Qi Li'er's words fell, Ying shook his head: "No, it's strange here, the two of them should have the intention of betrayal, and they may even not take me seriously, but it seems that both Taiyuan Xuezhai and Oda Nobumitsu are respectful to me, and they are looking forward to Lucius's return." ”

"Oh?" Du Liniang suddenly sat up straight when she heard this, lowered her head and muttered, "Speaking of which, Oda Nobumitsu and Taiyuan Yukisai, the two of them, didn't betray Lucius? Or did they not reach an agreement with Sakura Rinko?"

There was a sudden silence in the room, and everyone couldn't help but fall into deep thought, feeling a little puzzled by the abnormality of Oda Nobumitsu and Taiyuan Yukisai.

Caroline, who had been silent for a long time and had not been angry from beginning to end, said calmly: "I think that I am afraid that they did not get what they wanted, and they felt that Sakura Rinko could not become a qualified monarch, so they were more looking forward to the benefits that Lucius would bring them." ”

As soon as Caroline's words came out, everyone was surprised, because this was a little different from the previous Caroline, if Caroline's temper was before, I am afraid that now it has been killed with an axe.

But today's Caroline has always remained calm, and even Qilier and Modès are clamoring, but Caroline is surprisingly quiet.

Du Liniang didn't think much about it, just thought about Caroline's words carefully, and agreed: "Well, what Caroline said makes sense, it seems that we need to send a weighty person to contact those two guys to see what kind of requirements the two of them have?"

Everyone looked at each other, as if they didn't understand who was a weighty person, and in the end it was Caroline who said, "I'd better go, I used to be their commander before." ”

Du Liniang agreed: "Okay, since that's the case, then Caroline, you can go on a trip, but you have to restrain your feelings, don't hurt people." ”

Obviously, Du Liniang was also a little worried about Caroline's abnormality, afraid that Caroline might have deliberately suppressed her feelings, and when she saw Oda Nobumitsu and Taiyuan Xuezhai, because of the other party's verbal conflict, she couldn't suppress her feelings and slashed the two of them.

Caroline smiled charmingly and said, "Hehe, auntie, what's the matter? Are you worried that I'm going to cut those two guys? Am I so violent?"

"Yes. Without waiting for Du Liniang to reply, Christine replied almost instantly, "Caroline, you are really a little abnormal today, you haven't been angry until now." ”

Caroline looked at Christine calmly and asked, "Isn't that bad?"

Christine shook her head and said seriously: "This is good, but you hold it like this, I'm worried that something is wrong with you, if you really want to vent, just vent it now, right?"

Caroline was instantly amused, and said with a charming smile: "Hahaha, that's interesting, are you expecting me to be angry?" I'm really not angry, I don't think there's anything wrong with Sakura Rinko's approach, if it were me, I might have done more daring than her. ”

Sweeping her gaze over the somewhat surprised crowd, Caroline continued: "Any ambitious person, especially an ambitious woman, will do whatever it takes, and women are more ruthless than men. ”

"As for Sakura Rinko not acting aggressively towards us now, firstly, she is afraid of the strength of Lucius, secondly, she is not sure that she can take us, and finally, she does not have the support of Oda Nobumitsu and Taiyuan Yukisai. ”

After listening to Caroline's analysis, everyone present was dumbfounded, and it took a long time for Du Liniang to come to her senses and say: "I really didn't see it, Caroline, you, you actually grew up so quickly, it seems that there is another female general with wisdom and courage by Lucius's side." ”

In the face of Du Liniang's praise, Caroline was not polite: "Actually, I used to be so reckless because I didn't want to use my brain, I think it is better to think so much, it is better to go down with an ax and cut it to save trouble." ”

Hearing this, Christine suddenly mocked: "Good idea, no wonder I used to think that you were always murderous, it turns out that you have always thought so, should we be glad that we are still alive?"

Hearing Christine's words, everyone present seemed to be stunned, and then burst into laughter.

Without waiting for everyone's laughter to fall, Shirou suddenly walked in under the leadership of No. 3, bowed down to everyone present, knelt down and said, "Oh no, I heard that a daimyo led an army to attack Chiba, and now His Majesty the Emperor has gathered everyone to go to the shrine to discuss countermeasures." ”

"Oh?" everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Du Liniang muttered: "It seems that some people are more anxious than us, but that woman didn't go to us ......"

Caroline took over and said coldly: "Hmph, do you need to say it? She thinks that she can eat the other party, and wants to eat the other party alone to expand her strength, and she is worried that if we participate, we will share the benefits at that time." ”

Christine then laughed angrily: "Hehe, I really can't imagine that little girl is so ruthless, since she has the courage to go alone behind our backs?" (to be continued......)
