Looking at the broken katana in his hand, Takeda Takeshi was horrified, he knew very well the strength of his katana, under normal circumstances, even if he fought head-on with someone, it would not be cut directly, but at the moment, he didn't see who made the move, and the katana in his hand suddenly broke.

After standing there quietly and cold for a long time, Takeda Takeshi finally mustered up his courage, pretended to be calm, and looked around angrily, and shouted, "Who is it? Who is sneaking up behind the scenes? What kind of ability is it to hide your head and show your tail?"

"Oh, it's quite angry, but I don't seem to be hiding my head and tail, I just haven't had time to walk in yet, I didn't expect that I have to go through a check when I come to worship? ”

Lucius led a group of people to walk in slowly from outside the mansion, met the gaze of Takeda Koji, smiled and said, "Hehe, Koji, I am not invited, you will not be unwelcome, right?" I thought about it, but I still think that I should come and pay homage to your father. ”

Seeing that Lucius and the others had walked in, Takeda Koji was stunned at first, and it wasn't until Takeda Hidetomi next to him reminded him that he woke up from his stunned mind.

Hurriedly stepped forward and said with some excitement: "How could it not be welcome? I, I just didn't expect that Your Highness would come in person." ”

"Your Highness......" When everyone present heard these two words, they looked at Lucius's oriental face and the other party's fluent Fusang Chinese, and they all immediately thought about it.

Even Takeda Hidetomi hurriedly grabbed Takeda Koji and asked in a low voice: "Koji, you just called him His Royal Highness, could it be that this is His Royal Highness a certain prince of the imperial family?"

Although Takeda Hidetomi lowered his voice, he was still listened to by Lucius, and before Takeda Koji answered, Lucius preemptively explained: "No, no, I am not from the royal family of Fuso, nor am I from the East, I am from the West. ”

Hear Lucius say that. Takeda Koji couldn't help but have a bitter smile on his face, in fact, he hoped that Lucius would be the royal family of Fuso by default.

However, Takeda Koji also knew very well in his heart that with the strength and pride of Lucius, he would not be able to say what he wanted, and he would disdain to use that kind of deception.

Takeda quickly came to his senses and shouted arrogantly: "Hmph, I thought that Takeda Koji climbed the high branch and found someone from the royal family, but I didn't expect that a liar who didn't know where to find it would actually come here to show off his might." ”

Side said. Takeda looked at Lucius proudly and said to Takeda Koji: "Takeda Koji, where did you find this group of people? Hmph, you think that wearing a metal armor, you can say that you are from the West, or some so-called highness from the West? How did they come to Fuso? There is still Middle-earth between us and the West, so they can't have broken through from the Nine Shadows Abyss, right?"

Almost everyone who lives on the eastern coast of Fuso has heard of the legend of the Nine Shadows Abyss, or the Sea of Chaos, and knows that it is a path that can lead directly from the west to the country of Fuso.

However. In the minds of most Fuso people, the Nine Shadows Abyss is a place that even Amaterasu cannot cross, so most people believe that crossing the Nine Shadows Abyss only exists in legends. In fact, no one can cross the Nine Shadows Abyss at all.

As soon as Takeda's sarcastic words fell, before Takeda Koji could argue, Lucius spoke directly: "As you said, I am indeed from that Nine Shadows Abyss. ”

"What?" Lucius's words completely detonated the entire mansion. The people who came to mourn Takeda all looked at Lucius in shock.

Many people couldn't restrain themselves from whispering: "This, this person actually broke through from the Nine Shadows Abyss?"

"yes. The Nine Shadows Abyss, it is said that this place was the place where the Yellow Springs War took place, and Amarasu Okami failed to break through. ”

"It is said that the Nine Shadows Abyss is the home of many ghosts and gods, so is this person also a ghost god enshrined in the shrine?"

"Nonsense, how is it possible, you didn't see him have his own body, and people have already said that he is from the West and came from the Nine Shadows Abyss. ”

In the face of everyone's whispers, although Lecius knew that the other party was talking about him, he still chose to face it calmly, standing there always smiling and maintaining his demeanor.

Takeda Meng gradually came to his senses, and yelled loudly: "Don't fucking nonsense, do you think that if you make up a little thing casually, you can prove that you are from the West? Can it prove that you can successfully cross the Nine Shadows Abyss? Hmph, I Takeda Meng don't believe it, and I won't be afraid of you." ”

Lucius didn't think so: "I don't need you to be afraid, as for whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter to me, I'm just stating a fact." ”

Seeing that the other party didn't talk about himself, Takeda suddenly waved the broken knife in his hand angrily and scolded: "You don't pretend to be a ghost here, don't think that if you get the identity of His Royal Highness of the West, I, Takeda Meng, will be afraid of you." ”

As he spoke, he waved the broken knife in his hand and rushed directly towards Lucius, and at the same time roared angrily: "Kill ......"

Seeing Takeda swinging his sword and rushing in front of him, Lucius didn't dodge, standing in place without even moving, completely ignoring the blade that Takeda slashed at him.

At the moment when Takeda's blade was about to slash at Lucius, two figures rushed out from behind him, swung their swords to meet Takeda's broken knife, forcing Takeda to retreat and prevent him from hurting Lucius.

Takeda didn't expect that the person behind Lucius would suddenly make a move, and while being forced to retreat, he waved the broken knife and fought with the two who rushed out repeatedly.

The blades collided staggered, and the three figures trembled in the front yard of the Daimyo's mansion, and everyone present was surprised.

Takeda Hidetomi wanted to stop it, but he was violently injured by Takeda before, and he seemed to be powerless, so he could only say to Takeda Koji beside him: "Koji, you, you hurry up and stop them, you can't let them disturb your father's purity, alarm your father's spirit, and let him not rest in peace." ”

Koji Takeda held up Hidetomi Takeda, who was a little excited, and whispered to Hidetomi Takeda: "Uncle, don't get excited, I believe that His Royal Highness Lucius will help us solve this trouble of Takeda Takeshi." ”

Hearing this, Takeda Hidetomi looked at Takeda Koji in surprise, and asked in a deep voice for a long time: "What did you just say?" Koji, you, you are luring a wolf into the house, you must know that our Takeda family's affairs will never tolerate others interfering, not to mention that he is still an outsider. ”

Koji Takeda lowered his head, was silent for a moment and said: "Uncle, in fact, for so many years, our Takeda family has not been in contact with the outside world, and we have been complacent in Chiba, although we have successfully organized other forces to enter Chiba, but we have also cut off our understanding of the outside world, and in the end it will only lead our entire family to decline, and even guys like Takeda Takeshi can oppress us." ”

"The Tokugawa clan was able to rely on the support of Middle-earth Buddhism to successfully establish a power in Edo and occupy most of the land of Fuso, why can't we learn from them, accept a power from the west, and let them help us become the strongest in the east?"

Hidetomi Takeda looked at Koji Takeda in disbelief, not expecting Koji Takeda to say such a thing to himself.

After staring at Takeda Koji for a long time, Takeda Hidetomi came to his senses and asked in a low voice, "You mean, let our entire family join that highness from the West and become his vassal, right?"

Facing Takeda Hidetomi's questioning gaze, Takeda Koji felt a little weak, forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, and only after he settled down did he muster up the courage to say: "Yes, uncle, you have also seen that His Royal Highness Lucius is very strong, if we choose to support her, it will definitely be able to make the Takeda family achieve unprecedented development, and even the Tokugawa family will not be afraid at that time." ”

Hidetomi Takeda stared at Koji Takeda with a scrutinizing gaze, and quietly listened to Koji Takeda talk about the benefits of defecting to Lucius.

It wasn't until he saw Takeda Koji in his heart that there was really nothing to say in the end, that Takeda Hidetomi sneered and said, "Koji, you betrayed yourself, and now you want to betray the entire family?"

Because of his anger, Takeda Hidetomi did not suppress his voice, and almost questioned Koji Takeda with a roar, which made Koji Takeda feel frightened and lowered his head and did not dare to answer.

The other people around also looked at the two of them suspiciously, but Lucius didn't know when he came to the two of them, and responded with a smile to Takeda Hidetomi's question: "Your Excellency is not right, Koji didn't betray himself, and he didn't want to betray your family, he just made a right choice for your family." ”

Hearing the words of Lucius next to him, Takeda Hidechen suddenly felt annoyed, turned his head and glared at Lucius in response: "I don't have to worry about you, Your Excellency, the affairs of our Takeda family will naturally be solved by my Takeda family." ”

"Oh, solve it yourself? So now this Takeda Takeshi, do you have a way to solve it? It seems that you were injured by him, right? And your Takeda family, can you still find a second person who can fight him head-on? If you can't find it, how can you solve it yourself?"

Lucius's words, the other party was speechless, and Takeda Hidetomi was unconvinced, but the facts were in front of him, and he had no words to refute it.

Seeing that Takeda Hidetomi was speechless by what he said, Lu Xius continued to laugh in a low voice and said: "Actually, if your family helps me, I will also help you win a place in Fuso, and you will not lose this deal." ”

Hearing this, Takeda Hidetomi's eyes widened, and he asked in a low voice with some incredulity: "You, what do you want to do?

"No, no, no, you all misunderstood what I meant, in fact, I have no interest in Fusang, and I don't have time to govern the country, I just need your Fusang country to support me, and give me some help when I enter Middle-earth, so that I don't have no way out in Middle-earth in the East. ”

Hearing this, Takeda Hidetomi finally understood that he thought that the other party coveted the position of the Takeda family's daimyo, but in fact, people didn't look down on these at all.

The young man in front of him, who came from the West but had a face that belonged to the East, was actually really aiming for Middle-earth, and the entire Fuso country was just a pedal for him. (To be continued......)
