Chapter 718: The Eve of the War

Although Li Wuchen is only a county king, because he is loved by the two saints of the Tang Empire, the treatment he enjoys is almost equal to that of those princes of the Tang Empire.

And his right to speak can be said to be pivotal, in the entire Tang Empire, what he said can often play a very important role in the two saints, and can turn the situation around at a critical time, so his status in the Tang Empire is really not low.

This time, he was ordered to come to Fusang, but in fact, the second sage had some doubts about the situation in Fusang, so he was sent to come here.

On the one hand, it is to be able to understand the real situation, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as a kind of exercise for Li Wuchen.

So that he can adapt to the identity of the imperial heir as soon as possible and become a candidate for the imperial heir in his own right, it is not difficult to see that the two saints of the Tang Empire have high expectations for him.

After Li Wuchen arrived in Fusang, Pei Fu and Pei Lu, two Pei Yan entourages who came to greet him, also had a general understanding of the situation in Fusang, and at the same time were very curious about Lucius from the West.

Hearing that Lucius was besieged by Pei Yan in Edo Castle, Li Wuchen suddenly felt that he had a goal, and immediately decided to go to Edo Castle and see with his own eyes the guy from the West who could create a humanoid mechanical beast.

Knowing that Li Wuchen was actually going to Edo City, Pei Fu and Pei Lu were taken aback, and the two of them quickly knelt down to dissuade them: "Your Royal Highness the King of the County, please think twice, now the war in Edo City is very fierce, I am afraid it will be very dangerous for Your Highness to go rashly, if something happens to your Royal Highness the King of the County, we can't afford it." ”

Li Wuchen immediately smiled when he heard this: "Hehe, do you two think that this king will be so vulnerable? Don't forget it, this king is also an innate powerhouse." ”

Pei Fu hurriedly said with a smiling face: "The villain knows your strength, Your Highness, but it is really very dangerous for Your Highness to go to Edo City like this." ”

Pei Lu then chimed in: "Yes, Your Royal Highness the King of the County, you are a body of ten thousand gold, how can you go to that kind of battlefield at will?

Li Wuchen was not annoyed when he heard this. But he smiled and said, "Oh, in your eyes, is this the king here to see your lord's triumphant return?"

Pei Fu and Pei Lu immediately knelt down when they heard this, and both responded in fear: "No, don't dare, small, the villains never mean that, and I hope that Your Highness will forgive your sins, but it is the villain's unclear speech, so that Your Highness misunderstood." ”

"Bang, bang" said Pei Fu and Pei Lu actually began to hit their faces. From the voice, it can be seen that the palms of the two are full of strength.

Li Wuchen didn't mean to stop the two, so he let the two of them slap their mouths until their faces began to be red and swollen by themselves.

Li Wuchen opened his mouth to stop: "Okay, okay, this king doesn't blame you, you don't have to do this." ”

Stopping the two of them, Li Wuchen continued: "But this king still has to go, if he doesn't meet that powerful Western organ master with his own eyes, this king will feel uncomfortable." You just need to lead the way, and you don't need to talk about the rest of the nonsense. ”

When Pei Fu and Pei Lu heard this, they immediately understood that Li Wuchen had made up his mind, and both of them knew very well that Li Wuchen's identity was extremely noble. It's not something that the two can offend at all, and the two of them won't persuade at the moment.

Pei Fu raised his head and said to Li Wuchen: "Since His Royal Highness the King of the County insists on going, the villain should obey His Royal Highness's wishes, and the villain will arrange it." ”

Li Wuchen was very satisfied with Pei Fu and Pei Lu's attitude this time. He nodded and said with a smile: "Very good, then you guys go and prepare, this king is already a little impatient." ”

The so-called preparation. In fact, Pei Fu and Pei Lu went to contact Pei Yan and told Pei Yan the news that Li Wuchen wanted to go to Edo City, so that Pei Yan could be prepared and not wait for Li Wuchen to arrive, something that shouldn't happen.

However, at this moment, Pavaro, who pretended to be Pei Yan, was suffering, he and Lucius were in the final game, the two of them did not give in to each other, and they both wanted to be the final winner, it can be said that it had reached the most tense moment, and the victory or defeat was so close at hand.

Pavaro did not leave Edo Castle, but was still lurking in the army that had been absorbed by Tokugawa and the people, secretly observing the movements of Lucius.

However, to Pavaro's surprise, Lucius did not rush to Kyoto as he thought, but continued to stay in Edo Castle without the slightest intention of leaving, and drank all day long in the castle tower of Edo Castle.

In the face of Lucius's immobility, some of Pavalo's countermeasures were meaningless, and Pavaro was especially annoyed that because Lucius was unwilling to leave Edo Castle, so he wanted to escape while the army was leaving, and he was now trapped in Edo Castle.

Facing those idle soldiers every day, Pavaro really had the urge to go crazy, and even wanted to jump out and kill Lucius directly, and then rule the army himself.

But Pavaro didn't do that, because he knew very well that Lucius must be waiting for him, waiting for him to jump out and deliver a fatal blow to himself.

This feeling of being treated as prey is very bad, but Pavaro can't find a chance to fight back, and now he is like being choked by Lucius, and he has no way to get rid of Lucius's clamp.

At this moment, Pavaro received news from Pei Fu and Pei Lu that reinforcements sent by the Tang Empire had arrived, and that they were led by Li Wuchen himself.

Like Pei Fu and Pei Lu, who had just met Li Wuchen, Pavaro was also very surprised to learn that the Tang Empire had directly sent Li Wuchen here.

You must know that Li Wuchen's status can be said to be absolutely undoubted, in the eyes of the two saints, even Li Wuchen is the best of all the imperial heirs, and the two saints of the Tang Empire have long thought of canonizing Li Wuchen as the emperor's grandson.

This matter was very clear to Pavaro, who had already occupied Pei Yan's body at that time, because the ministers of the government and the opposition had argued endlessly about this matter, and in the end, the ministers in the court unanimously objected, so Li Wuchen was not canonized.

However, although he was not able to succeed in canonizing, Li Wuchen's identity is still unspeakably precious, and he has very powerful energy inside and outside the Tang Empire.

It is not an exaggeration to describe Li Wuchen with means to reach the sky, and even in the eyes of those who can contact Li Wuchen, he is already the real imperial grandson of the Tang Empire.

With the appearance of such a being, Pavaro naturally became vigilant, but in addition to being vigilant, he vaguely felt that this might be his chance, and he originally had to wait for a long time before he might have the opportunity to leave the army.

Now as soon as the Linzi prince arrived, it would immediately attract everyone's attention, and in Pavaro's opinion, as long as someone could attract the attention of Lucius, then he would be able to escape from the predicament, and he did not want to stay in the barracks for a moment.

So he received a letterhead from Pei Fu and Pei Lu, and Pavaro directly told Pei Fu and Pei Yan about his predicament, and asked the two of them to bring Li Wuchen to save him.

Pei Fu and Pei Lu learned that Pei Yan was in a predicament, so they hurriedly told Li Wuchen the news, and rushed to Li Wuchen to save Pei Yan.

When Li Wuchen heard the news, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "Hehe, didn't you say that everything is in Pei Yan's hands? Why has it become like this now? Could it be that you were all deceiving me before?"

After listening to Li Wuchen's words, the two immediately knelt down in panic, and Pei Fu explained to Li Wuchen: "His Royal Highness the King of the County, please calm your anger, in fact, it is not that the villains deceived you before, but the villains did not expect that Lord Pei would be in such a predicament. ”

"Hehe, yes, I already knew that Pei Yan would end up like this, and I blamed him for believing in his own ability, but he was trapped by others. ”

Although Li Wuchen kept counting Pavaro, he immediately ordered the servants who came with him to prepare to leave immediately.

Knowing that Pei Yan was trapped by the other party's design, Li Wuchen's curiosity about Lucius became stronger and stronger, and now he couldn't wait to meet Lucius.

Take a look at how terrible that organ master from the West will be, and it will actually make Pei Yan suffer a big loss.

At the same time, outside the city of Kyoto, the army had been assembled, Zhuge Mo was very satisfied with the assembly of the army, looked at the city of Kyoto from afar, and said to the Fusang soldiers around him: "Now that Kyoto is close at hand, I hope you can all show your courage." ”

After saying that, Zhuge Mo waved his hand and threw out a piece of soybeans, and those soybeans fell to the ground in a blink of an eye, turning into a large group of hideous-looking beasts.

The trap beasts raised their heads and roared, and then under Zhuge Mo's order, the group of trap beasts began to rush in the direction of the city gate.

Seeing that the Trap Beast had taken the lead, the Fuso samurai, including Nakatomi Lianzu, seemed to see the hope of conquering Kyoto, and one by one they led the army and charged in the direction of the gate of Kyoto.

With the passage of the trap beasts, the traps that were originally made up outside the gates of Kyoto Castle were violently broken away by those trap beasts, and the army advanced towards Kyoto unimpeded.

The people who were standing on the city wall to guard Kyoto knew that the situation might change when they saw the appearance of the beast below, and they were all nervous.

In the end, everyone's eyes were focused on Tokugawa Iehiko and Taiyuan Yukisai, who were now regarded as the supreme commanders of the entire Kyoto, and the orders and arrangements for the defense were made by the two of them themselves.

Now that Kyoto is facing a huge crisis, it is natural that everyone is pinning their hopes on the two of them, hoping that they will be able to come up with good countermeasures again.

However, at this moment, the two of them are afraid to disappoint everyone, because the two of them have no way to resist the trap beasts rushing from outside the city.

In the end, Taiyuan Xuezhai could only sigh and said: "Hey, let the archers prepare, see if we can block it, if it really can't work, we can only give up the forward position, withdraw all our troops to the city, and use stones and rolling logs to block the enemy's attack." ”

Although Tokugawa Isahiko is a little helpless, he must also admit that the current Taiyuan Xuezhai method is probably the only way.

So, the war in Fuso finally came to the last moment, and the victory in Kyoto became extremely important, and Lucius was also waiting for the final result, and at the same time, he was also waiting for Pavaro's hole cards to be fully revealed. (To be continued......)
