The reason why Lucius was late was because he was on his way to Shogun Tokugawa Iehiko's mansion when he suddenly received a very interesting letterhead.

Unfolded the letterhead that was sent by No. 3 and No. 4 in a hurry, after reading the content on the letterhead, Lucius felt that God was helping him all the time, and he was still thinking about how to provoke this Master Pei from the Tang Empire in Middle-earth, but with this letterhead sent by No. 3 and No. 4, Lucius felt that he didn't need to say much at all.

Sure enough, after reading the letterhead, Pei Yan was furious on the spot, even the little scholar who had followed Pei Yan for many years had never seen Pei Yan so angry.

But let the little scholar be cautious As a result, Pei Yan handed over the letter, after reading the content of the letter, the little scholar was completely shocked by the content of the letter, and looked at Pei Yan incredulously.

Lucius put down the teacup in his hand and said calmly to Pei Yan: "Master Pei, you must know very well the authenticity of this letterhead, I can sue you, the letter is under my command, and it was inadvertently intercepted on the seaside port, and my people traveled thousands of miles to send it to me, and I was late to wait for this letter." ”

Pei Yan raised his head when he heard this, looked at Lucius and gradually calmed down, and said very politely: "Thank you really Your Highness Lucius, but Your Highness should also know the effect of this letter very well, you just show it to me, I'm afraid there are some meaningful intentions in it, right?"

Hearing Pei Yan say this, Lucius was not surprised, in fact, since he handed over the letterhead to Pei Yan, he didn't think about hiding his purpose.

Lu Xius felt that the intercepted letter, which came from the descendants of the Red Heart Royal Clan, and the guy who called himself "Bai Meng", directly complained to Pei Yan to the Holy Emperor of the Tang Empire, was enough to make Pei Yan estranged from Bai Meng, even if Pei Yan could suppress the anger in his heart on the surface, he would definitely not trust Bai Meng again.

Therefore, when Pei Yan pointed out that he had another purpose, Lucius did not feel alarmed. On the contrary, he nodded very calmly and replied: "Yes, I do have another purpose, that is, I want to instigate discord between you. ”

was directly broken by Lucius, which suddenly made Pei Yan a little at a loss, and the words that were originally prepared were suddenly unable to say anything at this moment, but instead let Lucius take the initiative.

However, after all, Pei Yan had experienced too much bloody wind and rain in the Tang Empire, and he soon calmed down. smiled and said to Lucius: "Your Highness, your honesty surprised me a little, but even if you tell the purpose, I'm afraid I won't be able to turn my face with Bai Meng just because of a report." ”

Pei Yan's words have been made straightforward, expressing the attitude he wants to express to Lucius, that is, he will not become the gun in Lucius's hand to help Lucius get rid of the trouble of Baimeng.

Lucius was still calm, and said with a smile, "Hehe." I think you misunderstood me, Master Pei, and I am showing you this intercepted letter to make you watch out for your partners, and also to show you some kindness. I want to go to Middle-earth, and I want to be friends with you. ”

"His Royal Highness Lucius wants to go to Middle-earth and go to my Datang, and we are naturally welcome. It's just that even if you go to Middle-earth and meet my two saints of the Tang Dynasty. I'm afraid that I can't change the attitude of the two saints towards Fusang, let alone the plan formulated by the two saints, and the prestige of the Tang Empire must be manifested in the entire East. ”

The smile on Lucius's face gradually retracted, straightened up and said without showing weakness: "Master Pei, I want to tell you, my attitude will not change either, and the fate of Fusang should be decided by the Fusang people." ”

Staring at Lu Xiusius's determined expression, Pei Yan already understood in his heart that the other party was not joking with himself, and the other party had already decided to help Sang through this catastrophe.

Pei Yan sighed, shook his head and stood up, and said as he walked towards the outside of the General's Mansion: "There are some things that cannot be changed by one person, Fusang is just a weak country, and their civilization can't even support their own gods, what do you think you can change?"

As he spoke, Pei Yan had already walked to the door of the mansion, put on his shoes under the service of the little scholar, and the moment he stepped out of the steps of the house, Pei Yan stopped again.

Raising his head and looking at the somewhat gloomy sky, he said: "Your Highness Lucius, you are a very remarkable person, your talent makes me sigh to myself, but I still want to say that you should not participate in the internal struggle of Fuso, many times, as a bystander, you can see more clearly." ”

Lucius got up to send him off, and when he heard Pei Yan say this, a smile resurfaced on his face: "Hehe, what Master Pei said is that there are just some things that seem to be chaotic, but in fact, the chaos can be solved with a knife, but most people are reluctant to go under the knife." ”

Hearing Lucius's words, Pei Yan, who had already planned to leave, suddenly stopped again, turned his head to look at Lucius and frowned slightly, and said, "So, are you going to go under the knife?"

"I? Hehe, Master Pei is really joking, how could I use a knife? I am still very peace-loving, and I will not use a knife against people. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xiuston paused for a moment, and then continued, "It's like I fought fiercely with Bai Meng, and I didn't mean to kill him from beginning to end, even if he had an enmity with me, and he wanted to kill me, but I still let him go, a confidant is hard to find, and a good opponent is also hard to find." ”

Pei Yan was stunned again when he heard this, turned to look at Lu Xius, and said with some surprise: "You actually regard Bai Meng as an opponent?" It seems that the grievances and entanglements between you are by no means as simple as Bai Meng said, since you have your own plans, then I won't say anything more, and I will leave." ”

Lu Xius stood in front of the door and greeted Pei Yan with his fists, and said to Pei Yan at the same time: "Master Pei, I hope we have a chance to fight, and I hope we have a chance to meet in the Tang Empire." ”

Pei Yan didn't respond to anything, and led the little scholar next to him out of the Tokugawa family's shogun's mansion, and took the carriage he came to drive out of Edo Castle and headed south of Fuso.

After Pei Yan left, Tokugawa Iehiko leaned over to Lucius and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, do you need me to send someone to intercept Pei Yan?" If Pei Yan can be solved, I am afraid that the Tang Empire's plan to invade Fusang will be damaged, and I, Fusang, will also be able to take the opportunity to get rid of the clamp of Middle-earth. ”

Lucius looked at Tokugawa Ihiko and responded with a smile: "Since you have such an idea, then you can also try it, but I warn you, you only have one chance to try this kind of thing." ”

Listening to Lucius's warning, Tokugawa Iehiko suddenly flinched a little, but after thinking about it, he was unwilling to give up like this, so he finally decided to try.

Seeing the back of Tokugawa Isahiko leaving, Lucius said to himself very calmly: "It seems that the Tang Empire can dominate Middle-earth and become the most powerful empire in the entire East, it is really very powerful, Tokugawa Isahiko will inevitably suffer a loss, but it should not be bad for him to suffer a little." ”

Lucius talked to himself and no one responded to him, Scott naturally didn't dare to interject, and No. 3 and No. 4 didn't follow, so after a moment of talking to himself, he put on his shoes and walked to the outside of the mansion.

No. 3 and No. 4 were already waiting outside the mansion, and when they saw Lucius walking out of the general's mansion, two mechanical demon spirits immediately greeted them, and No. 4 eagerly rushed to speak: "Your Highness, now the situation on the northern Suga Inamome side is stable, but that Oda Nobumitsu is a little restless, are you really not doing anything?"

No. 4's eager words seemed to question Lucius, and No. 3 immediately reprimanded when he saw this: "No. 4, what's the matter with you, how can you speak to His Highness like this?"

No. 3's reprimand made No. 4 wake up, and quickly bow to Lucius and apologize: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I was too anxious, but judging from the news that came back, Oda Nobumitsu's side is already ready to stand on his own." ”

Lucius nodded unhurriedly: "Well, I know, you don't have to worry, I already have a strategy to deal with it, I don't need to worry about Oda Nobumitsu now, we need to finish what we need to do first, you go to Kyoto with me, and get ready to meet Sakura Rinko and them." ”

"What?" everyone was almost shocked to learn that Lucius was going to make a big deal about the emperor's return in Kyoto, and most felt a pang of horror.

No. 3 calmly persuaded Lucius: "Your Highness, if you make such a big publicity, I'm afraid you will attract a lot of enemies, and those who don't submit to the emperor's rule will definitely take the opportunity to do it." ”

No. 4 also echoed: "That is, not to mention others, even the guy who just left Middle-earth, I'm afraid he won't let go of this opportunity, for them, if they can get rid of Emperor Fuso, or even the entire imperial family, then it will be equivalent to controlling the entire Fuso, and then the Tang Empire will be able to invade in a big way." ”

In the face of everyone's concerns, Lucius seemed calm, and did not seem to be worried about the troubles that would be caused by the hype of the emperor's return.

After a moment of silence, he said: "Okay, don't worry, things may not be as dangerous as you think, as long as we handle it properly, even if those guys come to make trouble, we will be fine." ”

Seeing that Lucius still insisted, No. 3 and No. 4 looked at each other, and the two mechanical demons then said no more, after all, they were absolutely loyal to Lucius, although they already had their own spiritual intelligence, but in fact, they still would not refute Lucius's will too much.

Lucius didn't leave Edo Castle in a hurry, because he still had some things to prepare, and Sakura Rinko didn't start the trip so quickly, after all, the Takeda family still had to try to ensure Sakura Rinko's safety along the way, so Takeda Koji and Taiyuan Yukisai and others were extremely nervous about this trip.

And while Lucius was waiting for news from the Chiba Takeda family, Tokugawa Iehiko sent people to pursue Pei Yan, but there was news first, and all the pursuing samurai were wiped out, and none of them could come back alive.

At this point, Tokugawa Iehiko understood Pei Yan's terribleness, and he didn't dare to have other ideas, so he began to faithfully follow Lucius's side, completely follow Lucius's wishes to do things, and no longer dare to do some dangerous things on his own, and the Tokugawa family can be regarded as completely attached.
