Chapter 602: Manipulator

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, and I was pushed out in a daze, inherited my father's position, and became your emperor. ”

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

Speaking of this, Sakura Rinko paused, sighed and continued: "It's a pity that I didn't succeed in the end, seeing that the Tokugawa family is getting more and more powerful, but I find that I can't do anything at all, even if I am the emperor and the monarch of this country, I still have no way to take Tokugawa Ihiko." ”

"Eventually. As a last resort, I had no choice but to go to war against Tokugawa Ihiko, and I really felt very painful to see those soldiers who were loyal to me fall one by one, and my ministers also fell, and I had no choice but to throw myself into the sea and try to flee to the west. ”

Tomorrow Na listened quietly to Sakura Rinko's story, and she didn't even interject a word, just listened quietly like that. It's like Rinko Sakura's most loyal listener.

Until Sakura Rinko said to take herself into the sea, Asukina's eyes couldn't help but shed tears, and she could feel the despair in Sakura Rinko's heart at the moment of throwing herself into the sea.

If Sakura Rinko hadn't met Lucius, I'm afraid she would have died on the sea by now. It is impossible to return to Fusang at all, and can only become a ghost who dies in a foreign land, and perhaps even a ghost after death cannot return to Fuso. I can't go back into the arms of Amaterasu.

Thinking of this, Asuna couldn't help but hug Sakura Rinko and whispered in Sakura Rinko's ear, "Sister." You, you will always be my sister. ”

Sakura Rinko's body stiffened at first, and then she hugged Tomorrow Na and whispered in Tomorrow's ear: "Sister, my good sister, we have to be good sisters for a lifetime, and no one can betray anyone." ”

Hearing this, Asukina's body suddenly stiffened, raised her head to look at Sakura Rinko, and opened her mouth to continue to intercede for her brother, but Banxiang didn't say anything, because she felt that maybe she shouldn't intercede, after all, her brother had already taken refuge in Sakura Rinko's enemy.

But Sakura Rinko smiled and said: "Hehe, don't worry, I won't hurt your brother, you will be my sister in the future, your brother is also my brother, I was born in the Wei Palace, since you don't have a surname, then I will give you the surname of the Wei Palace where I was born, and you will be called 'Wei Gong Asuna' in the future." ”

Hearing this, Asuina was terrified, and she couldn't believe her ears at all, you must know that in Fuso country, only nobles and samurai can have their own surnames, and a woman like Assuna who was born in poverty and has no samurai in her family is not qualified to have her own surname.

And now she has not only received her own surname, but she is also personally given by His Majesty the Emperor, and is surnamed Emiya, where His Majesty was born.

Without waiting for Tomorrow to come to her senses, Sakura Rinko directly led her to stand up, slowly walked to the door of the main house of the shrine, opened the door of the main house, and said to everyone outside: "From today on, Tomorrow Rina is my sister, and she takes the surname of the palace where I was born, and her name is Emiya Tomorrowa." ”

Hearing Sakura Rinko's announcement, everyone present was stunned, and the good ministers Kamadashi and Kinoshita Hideyoshi came to their senses and knelt down to salute Asuka: "Meet Prince Asunano." ”

When the others heard the chanting of the two, they all came to their senses, and then they all knelt down to salute Asukina and gave Asukina a visit to the real royal prince.

After the visit, Sakura Rinko said to everyone, "Okay, I heard that an unknown group of samurai has invaded Chiba, and now it is approaching Chiba Castle, and it seems that they are searching for my whereabouts, right?"

Takeda Hidetomi hurriedly stepped forward to report: "Yes, Your Majesty, this is the news that the Takeda family has just received, Takeda Hidechen does not dare to delay and report to you immediately, I want to wait for Your Majesty's order, without your order, we dare not make decisions without your own decision, and now although the other party is Chiba City after all, it has not yet arrived." ”

Sakura Rinko stared at Takeda Hidetomi and said without anger: "Takeda-kun, can your Takeda family resist this group of unknown samurai?"

Takeda Hidetomi lowered his head and thought about it, and seemed to feel that if his own family came out, it might make the Takeda family suffer a little heavy loss, so he could only say helplessly: "Don't hide it, the other party's strength is very strong, and there are a lot of troops, our Takeda family, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that it's a little powerless." ”

Who knew that as soon as Takeda Hidetomi's words fell, he immediately attracted a ridicule: "Hehe, I really can't imagine that such an ancient daimyo family of the Takeda family can't even deal with a handful of samurai, it's really difficult to live up to its reputation." ”

Takeda Hidetomi followed the sound when he heard this, and saw Kinoshita Hideyoshi with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and suddenly snorted coldly with some unhappiness: "Hmph, you are a despicable low-level samurai, and you dare to talk nonsense here?"

In response to Takeda Hidetomi's reprimand, Kinoshita Hideyoshi smiled disapprerovingly and said: "Hehe, Lord Takeda Hideyoshi is really very majestic, but you are so foolish, do you still think you are justified? I am a low-level samurai, but what about your Takeda family? Will you be afraid of that rabble?"

Takeda Hidetomi was also a little annoyed by what he said, and couldn't help but shout angrily: "The rabble, if you think it's a rabble, you can go and solve them all yourself, don't just talk about it here." ”

Who knew that Kinoshita Hideyoshi immediately agreed: "Okay, yes, I only need Lord Takeda Hideyoshi to send me soldiers, and Kinoshita will go and deal with those samurai who endanger Chiba Castle." ”

Takeda Hidetomi didn't expect that the other party would really dare to agree, and said very angrily at the moment: "Don't be ashamed, do you really think that you are very powerful? Since you are going to die, I will fulfill you, say, how many soldiers do you want? Don't you say that you need millions of people?"

"A mere rabble, where do you need so many people, Takeda-sama will give me a hundred people, and Kinoshita promises to return triumphantly. ”

Takeda Hidetomi didn't expect that Kinoshita Hideyoshi not only really agreed, but even only a hundred people, to defeat the group of samurai who broke into Chiba.

You must know that according to the information collected by the Takeda family, that samurai team has 3,000 people, and it is difficult for Takeda Hidetomi to imagine how a hundred people can defeat that group of samurai later? So Takeda Hidetomi sneered and said, "Okay, I'll give you a hundred people, and I want to see how you can defeat those samurai." ”

Speaking of this, Takeda Hidetomi reminded again: "I must remind you that there are 3,000 samurai in that group, and if you take a hundred of them, don't lose your life." ”

Hearing that there were three thousand people on the other side, and Kinoshita Hideyoshi only needed a hundred, everyone present was shocked, and Sakura Rinko also had to frown, wanting to say something to Kinoshita Hideyoshi.

But Kinoshita Hideyoshi smiled calmly and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, Kinoshita will definitely complete the task, and absolutely only use the hundred people that Lord Takeda gave me, and will not use a single soldier under Kinoshita, but if I return by luck, will Lord Takeda put a celebration banquet for me?"

Takeda Hidetomi snorted coldly and responded: "If you can come back alive, I will personally invite the best chef in Chiba City, set up a banquet for you, and let the entire Chiba know your name." ”

When Kinoshita Hideyoshi heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "Okay, then Lord Takeda, we will make up our minds, and when the time comes, you don't have to talk and don't count." ”

"Naturally not. "Takeda Hidetomi didn't believe that the other party could succeed at all, a hundred people against three thousand, both sides were samurai, and it was a fantasy for such a disparity in strength to defeat the other party.

At this time, Sakura Rinko felt a little worried, and wanted to come forward to persuade a few words, but was stopped by Nakazu Kamazu, and in the end she could only reluctantly agree to the bet between the two.

Then he said to Oda Nobumitsu and Taiyuan Yukisai: "Both, you also have troops in your hands now, and now that the enemy is present, I don't know what I told you two before, I don't know how the two of you are thinking about it?"

Oda Nobumitsu and Taiyuan Xuesai glanced at each other, and then Taiyuan Xuezhai stood up and said: "Your Majesty, since we have served His Highness Lucius as the Lord, then with the spirit of our samurai, we cannot turn our backs on the Lord, unless the Lord does something drastic, but now that the Lord is not there, we cannot make decisions at will." ”

Seeing that the two of them were still reluctant to let go, Nakatomi Kamazu was a little annoyed, but Sakura Rinko said indifferently: "Okay, I don't force it, but the current situation is dangerous, I hope you two can do something." (To be continued......)
