As the sun sets, the glow of the sun shines on the hillside of the small village, making the whole village look a little solemn, as if there is a calm before a storm.

Modès paced in the chamber and said impatiently, "Shall we just wait? Now that they have laid out the situation, they are just waiting for us to catch them all, and if we continue to wait like this, I am afraid that even if we want to escape, it will be impossible." ”

"Why should we escape?" Du Liniang asked Modès with some confusion.

Faced with Du Liniang's question, Modès suddenly didn't know how to answer, but Qi Lier then said: "Didn't Shirou bring news before, a samurai army is attacking the village?"

"So what?" said Christine disapprovingly, "It's just a bunch of Fuso samurai, do we still have to be afraid of those guys? Even if they can break through the village, the female emperor will not put up any resistance, we don't have to be afraid, we can easily deal with them when the time comes." ”

Christine said very lightly, in fact, they really don't need to be afraid of the samurai army, the ordinary samurai in Fusang are very weak, not to mention let Du Liniang and Konstantin make a move, Qi Lier and Modex are afraid that they can easily clean up dozens or hundreds of people, so in the eyes of Christine and Du Liniang, there is no need to worry at all, let alone flee the village.

However, Caroline suddenly said with some concern: "We don't have to be afraid, but aren't those villagers in the village outside going to suffer with them?"

Hearing this, Christine frowned slightly, looked at Du Liniang and said, "Probably not, right? ”

Almost as soon as Christine's words fell. The door was suddenly opened, and Three and Four led them down. Beruti and Mogupatin rushed in, and Beruti said directly, "The army of warriors has arrived. And they were about to invade the village, and Sakura Rinko and her men were all gone. ”

Caroline looked at Christine and said with a little sarcasm: "It seems that the unfortunate words of you are that the female emperor has indeed taken the villagers as victims. ”

Hearing this, Christine couldn't help but curse: "Damn the superiors, why are they always like this, not taking the lives of ordinary people in their eyes, and wantonly trampling on the lives of the poor?"

Du Liniang stopped Caroline, who was about to tease Christine, and said to everyone, "Okay." Now is not the time to talk about that, but let's think about what we should do next, shall we directly use means to keep the village, or will we let those samurai advance the village?"

Then everyone in the room fell silent, obviously at such a time, no one was willing to open their mouths to make a decision, after all, it would determine the fate of the village, and it would also affect some of Lucius's future plans.

If you snipe that samurai army. With the strength of Du Liniang's hands and the use of those mechanical warriors, they can easily solve those machines with little effort.

But out of the village to block. First, it will expose their strength and cause some trouble for Lucius's future plans, and second, this is obviously the result that Sakura Rinko wants, and it can be said that Sakura Rinko is actually using the villagers to persecute them. Let Du Liniang and others make compromises.

As long as Du Liniang chooses to take the initiative to intercept, whether they can stop the samurai army or not. The female emperors have achieved their goal.

If they did not hold back the samurai army, they would have to sit back and watch as they invaded the village. No matter how prepared the village is, casualties among the villagers are inevitable.

In the end, even if Du Liniang and them completely annihilated the attacking samurai, their reputation would be damaged, but they would be taken advantage of by the female emperor to get a chance to promote themselves, Du Liniang and they were pressured by the villagers' mouth, so they could only choose to compromise with the female emperor, otherwise they would not be able to continue to gain a foothold in Chiba.

Analyzing this, Christine couldn't help but sigh: "This is a good plan to kill two birds with one stone, and it may not be easy for a guy to formulate such a plan." ”

After listening to Christine's analysis, Modise asked with some puzzlement: "So now, how should we choose?" It seems that according to you, no matter how we choose, we will fall into passivity. ”

Christine smiled and responded: "So my opinion can be summed up in four words, 'wait and see', don't move yet, just when we don't know anything, waiting for those samurai to attack the shrine, we are pretending to just know the news, and then we can turn the current unfavorable situation around." ”

"But in this case, the village will definitely suffer heavy losses, and those villagers are afraid that many of them will be killed by the samurai, so can we really sit idly by?"

In the face of Caroline's questioning, Christine said helplessly: "You are really a virgin, we are now unable to protect ourselves, we are still in a dilemma, do you still have time to think about others?"

Du Liniang then agreed with Caroline's statement: "No, we must think clearly about this matter, we must know that if the village is really destroyed because of our indifference, then we can also be regarded as accomplices, and when Lucius comes back, he may blame us, and the female emperor will not give up." ”

Christine reluctantly spread her hands and said, "Then I really can't help it, do you have a better way?" ”

The room fell silent again, in fact, everyone was in a dilemma, and no one knew which was the most appropriate?

At this moment, an army of samurai had already arrived in front of the village, looking at the village built on the hillside through the mountain forest, led by a samurai wearing a ghost mask, and said to the samurai beside him in a deep voice: "This is where His Majesty the Emperor is hiding?

Standing beside him, another samurai, who was also wearing a ghost mask, stepped forward and bowed respectfully and replied, "Yes, my lord, according to the information we have gathered, His Majesty the Emperor is here. ”

The head ghost mask nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, as long as we can invite the emperor back, then everyone will be a great meritorious, and in the future, the Uesugi family will become a daimyo who can compete with the Tokugawa family, and you will all be heroes of the Uesugi family." ”

The group of samurai behind him immediately knelt down on one knee one by one and saluted the ghost-faced samurai led by him: "I am willing to follow the head of the family, and I will definitely not betray the head of the family, establish merit for the Uesugi family, and make the Uesugi family a powerful daimyo family that can compete and surpass the Tokugawa family." ”

The ghost-faced samurai then waved his katana in his hand and said, "Now, prepare to attack, first sneak into the village, don't startle the snake, if you encounter a resisting villager, you can kill them." ”

Then, the samurai behind the leader of the ghost-faced samurai all got up and quietly rushed towards the village, and when they walked through the forest, they barely made any noise, and in the blink of an eye, they had already sneaked into the village outside the forest, and quickly rushed towards the shrine high in the village.

Shirou, who said that he had been knocked unconscious and taken out of the village in advance, finally woke up in the evening, rubbed his still sore head, and raised his head to look at the surrounding scene.

Suddenly realized that he was no longer at home in the village, recalled the process of being knocked unconscious, and knew that he must have been knocked unconscious and taken out of the village.

Shirou suddenly stood up, rushed directly to the outside of the camp where he was, opened the camp tent and rushed out of the camp, looking in the direction of the village.

The next moment, Shirou saw that the originally peaceful village suddenly rose into flames, followed by a burst of frightened screams and shouts.

Even though Shirou was hiding some distance from the village, Shirou could clearly hear the shouts of the familiar voices, and it was clear that the samurai army from Saitama had begun to attack the village, and had been discovered by the villagers, who were bound to rebel out of loyalty to the emperor.

"Some sacrifices are necessary, and when they die, they will return to the arms of Amaterasu, and Amaterasu will give them eternal rest, you don't have to worry. ”

Hearing the voice behind him, Shirou immediately turned his head to look and saw Sakura Rinko standing behind him, looking indifferently at the firelight in the distance, the firelight reflected in her eyes, and it seemed that it couldn't make any waves.

Originally, Shirou wanted to salute Sakura Rinko, but when he saw Sakura Rinko's indifferent eyes, he immediately rushed to a burst of annoyance, and no longer cared about the dignity of his status, and yelled at Sakura Rinko directly: "Aren't those villagers life? Even if you are the emperor, how can you trample on life so casually?"

Shirou's questioning made Sakura Rinko stunned for a moment, and then looked at Shirou with a puzzled face, and said in surprise: "You, have you been so deeply influenced by Lucius?

Regarding Sakura Rinko's surprise, Shirou responded very calmly: "These are what I heard from my brother Lucius, I think it makes sense, and I added some of my own understanding, this sentence was not taught to me by Brother Lucius, I suddenly thought of it." ”

Seeing that Shirou did not show weakness, Sakura Rinko snorted coldly and said, "Do you know that you are turning your back on Amaterasu, and the farther you go, you will be punished by Amaterasu." ”

Shirou was not only not frightened by Sakura's words, but responded very firmly: "So what? Even Amaterasu Okami has to be pointed out if he has done something wrong, I am just pointing out your mistakes, taking our lives as sacrifices, you are not worthy of being the ruler of Fuso at all." ”

After saying this, another scream sounded in the direction of the village, and Shirou stopped paying attention to Sakura Rinko and turned around and ran in the direction of the village.

As soon as he ran a few steps, Assuna and his mother also rushed out and shouted to stop Shirou: "Shirou, you, you can't go, if you go, you will die, those guys are a bunch of villains." ”

Unexpectedly, in the face of the persuasion of his sister and mother, Shirou did not even look back, but continued to stride forward, and at the same time shouted loudly: "Even if you die, I will show you what is the real strong man and what is the real Fuso samurai." (To be continued......)
