Seeing Koji Takeda, Soga Inamome and the others, who were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak anymore, Lucius reined in his momentum and said as calmly as possible: "Now, this is not the time for us to be happy and celebrate, this is just the beginning, we still have a long way to go to unify the whole of Fuso." ”

This time, no one dared to question Lucius's words, and everyone was almost silent, quietly listening to Lucius's reprimand for them, hoping that Lucius would stop getting angry.

Lucius really didn't get angry anymore, but just explained a few words to Koji Takeda and Soga Inamo, and then said to Soga Inamo: "Sume, you are ready to prepare, go to Ibaraki to take over, replace Taiyuan back, you have to remember, don't rush to attack the surrounding areas when you go to Ibaraki, first consolidate the power of Ibaraki, especially to let you establish your prestige." ”

Su I Inamu forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and quickly nodded to Lucius yes, and assured Lucius: "Your Highness, rest assured, I have already made an agreement with Taiyuan, I will definitely do my best to control the army, and consolidate the control of Ibaraki, and wait until Your Highness gives an order, I will attack the surrounding area." ”

Lucius nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, be cautious, we can't be carried away by victory, now that the powerful forces in Fusang have not yet appeared, you must not let your guard down." ”

In fact, there is no need for Lucius to say this, Takeda Koji and Soga Inami are very clear that the two places they have conquered now, except for the Uesugi family, there is no second powerful daimyo.

And the Uesugi family is not a very powerful samurai among the samurai families of Fuso, and it is still weaker than the Tokugawa family, although the Tokugawa family allows him to control Saitama, it is only because the Tokugawa family does not have more energy, not to mention that the Uesugi family has always been loyal to the Tokugawa family.

In addition to the Tokugawa family, there were some ancient and powerful samurai in Fuso, who never showed up, and even less interfered with the attacks of Oda Nobumitsu and Taiyuan Yukisai.

But there was no interference. It doesn't mean that the other party doesn't have the strength to interfere, it's just that those guys may be disdainful, or maybe they have some constraints themselves, and they don't want to expose their full strength.

Obviously, most of the powerful ancient samurai have already seen that the whole of Fuso is about to lead to a great war, and there will be too many opportunities in the war, and they are all waiting for that opportunity one by one, wanting to become a sexist like the Tokugawa family, able to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

Against this backdrop, Lucius cautioned Koji Takeda and Soga Inamo to be cautious. It can be regarded as an expectation of the future, and it is even more important to completely control the situation, so that the power will not be swallowed up and strangled by other forces before it grows, so that Lucius's plan to help Sakura Rinko seize power will become more difficult.

After instructing Koji Takeda and Soga Inamo, Lucius let the two of them leave, and soon only Lucius and Sakurarako and Assuna and Shirou were left in the middle hall of the Takeda family.

The door to the nave was closed, and Lucius looked at Shirou, who was sitting not far away, and asked, "How are your injuries?" I hope you can learn your lesson. ”

Shirou raised his head, looked at Lucius and moved his arm a few times and said, "It's nothing now, but his arm is still a little numb." It may not be as smooth as it gets, but I'm sure I'll recover soon, brother, do you have anything for me to do?"

Lucius shook his head: "Not for the time being, your task now is to recuperate from your injuries." And help me teach that Mitsuhide Takeda well. ”

It was only at this point that Shirou couldn't help but ask, "Why did you want me to teach him? I really don't know what to teach him?" Besides, he's just a child. ”

Listened to Shirou's old-fashioned tone. Luciuston laughed, and even Sakura, who was sitting next to Lucius, couldn't help laughing, and finally saw that the atmosphere had eased up, Assuna couldn't help but smile and said, "Say that people are children, and you are not a child yourself?"

was said to be a child by Asuna, Shirou was naturally unhappy, pouted and said, "I, I'm not a child, I'm already an adult, and I'm already able to fight ninjas fiercely." ”

Asukina said with a solemn expression: "Are you embarrassed to say, if it weren't for the arrival of the god Lucius and the presence of Yanagi's seniors, I'm afraid you would have been killed by others." ”

"That, that's that guy Rippy, he, he actually smeared poison on the blade, hmph, that's not what a samurai should be, I'm ashamed of it, he actually tried to kill people with that poisoned blade, it's just an insult to the spirit of the samurai, if I meet him again, I must kill him." ”

Lucius smiled when he heard this, and said: "This is the expression of your inexperience, those guys are ninjas, ninjas are responsible for assassination, and among the ninjutsu and various methods they have learned, including the use of poison, you have not taken precautions, and it is your own mistake." ”

As soon as Lucius said this, Shirou immediately fell silent, sat there with his head down and thought for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly: "Okay, even if I was careless this time." ”

Do you want to have another time? Do you know that I was worried about dying, I was afraid that something would happen to you, and if something really happened to you, how would I explain it to my mother?"

Asuina looked a little excited, and didn't seem to want Shirou to continue this kind of life, "I don't think you should continue, you've already experienced murder, and you've experienced what it's like to face death, aren't you still satisfied? ”

"Why? Why did I go back to my mother, I think you should go back to your mother, you are a girl, shouldn't you stay with your mother? This kind of fighting and killing should be done by us men, you should not continue to participate in it, go back to your mother. ”

Hearing Shirou shouting loudly to himself, Amena suddenly felt a little annoyed: "You, you have to understand, I am a sister, you should listen to me." ”

"But what you said is not right, I can't continue to listen to you, I have my own discernment, and I have the ability to decide my own affairs, and I don't need you to decide for me. ”

Seeing that the two sisters and brothers were arguing more and more fiercely, Sakura Rinko glanced at Lucius who was sitting there, and the latter didn't seem to have the intention of opening his mouth to stop it, which made Sakura Rinko feel a little puzzled, and didn't understand what kind of calculation the other party had, why would he let Assuna and Shirou siblings quarrel?

After looking at it for a while, Sakura Rinko finally couldn't help but say, "Okay, okay, you two don't quarrel anymore, you have no result if you continue to quarrel like this." ”

Tomorrow Nai felt very aggrieved when she heard this, and lowered her head and said to Sakura Rinko: "Your Majesty, I, I don't actually want to quarrel, I, I just want to protect him......"

Without waiting for Assuna to finish speaking, Shirou directly interrupted her: "I don't need your protection, I'm already an adult, and this time, it's clear that I'm protecting you, if it weren't for that ninja using poison, I would definitely be able to defeat him, and I would become a powerful samurai." ”

This time Lucius finally spoke: "Okay, Shirou, you shouldn't talk to your sister like this, if you have anything to say, you shouldn't shout." ”

Hearing Lucius's reprimand, Shirou immediately softened and bowed his head to Asuna to apologize: "Sister, I'm sorry, Shirou shouldn't have quarreled with you." ”

Seeing Shirou listening to Lucius's words like this, Assuna suddenly stood up and rushed to Lucius, knelt down and kowtowed to Lucius and begged: "Your Highness Lucius, I beg you, please let Shirou go back, let him go back to his mother's side, I, I really don't want to see Shirou die in battle one day." ”

Seeing that his sister actually knelt down and begged Lucius, Shirou immediately wanted to get up and stop him, but was stopped by Lucius.

Lucius stared at Assuna and said in a gentle tone: "Asukina, you should understand that everyone has the right to choose his own destiny, this is the power that everyone should have, and it should not be influenced by anyone, just like you choose to follow Sakura Rinko, Shirou also has his choice, why would you interfere with his choice?"

Without letting Assuna speak, Lucius continued, "Maybe in your opinion, Shirou chose that path is dangerous, but what is not dangerous?"

"Think about it, do you think there is still a really safe place in Fuso now? Do you think that if Shirou hides in Chiba Castle of the Takeda family, there will be no danger? But what if, I mean, Chiba Castle is attacked by the Tokugawa family? Can you guarantee that Shirou will be able to leave safely at that time?"

Faced with Lucius's questioning, Assuna opened her mouth to refute, but found that her rebuttal seemed very weak, and in the end she could only swallow the rebuttal.

Quietly listened to Lucius continue: "Perhaps, in your opinion, Shirou stayed with his mother and could take care of and protect his mother, but when Chiba Castle was breached, who could protect him? Who could protect your mother at that time? ”

"So in my opinion, instead of letting Shirou stay with your mother, it is better to let him go out and fight, maybe his joining can turn the tide of the war, and if we succeed in defeating the whole of Fuso, then you and your mother will always be safe, wouldn't that be good?"

After listening to Lucius's narration, in the face of Lucius's calm gaze, even Sakura Rinko felt unable to argue, and Asuna was already stunned.

After a long time, Sakura Rinko opened her mouth to wake up Asuka: "Okay, Asukana, you should give Shirou a chance to choose his own destiny, maybe he can succeed?"

A smile appeared on Lucius's face when he heard this, and he stared at Asukina: "Yes, His Majesty the Emperor is right, you must dare to give others a chance, so that you are also giving yourself a chance, maybe the result is not as bad as you think? (To be continued......)
