Chapter 725: Don't meddle in the Fusang war

"No......" Hearing that Li Wuchen actually compromised with Lecius, Shuang'er, who was chained and thrown on the ground, couldn't help but shout loudly, wanting to stop Li Wuchen.

Li Wuchen glanced at Shuang'er, who was a little excited, shook his head calmly and said, "It's okay, in fact, we didn't come this time to meddle in the affairs of Fusang, otherwise the imperial grandfather and imperial grandmother would not have sent me here." ”

Lu Xiusien's eyes were a little surprised, and he looked at Li Wuchen and asked with some puzzlement: "Oh? You mean, the monarch of the Tang Empire didn't send you here to interfere in the war in Fusang?"

Li Wuchen nodded and responded: "Yes, in fact, the purpose of my trip is not to interfere in the war in Fusang, the purpose of my trip is to reach an agreement with the emperor of Fusang, so that my ships of the Tang Dynasty can pass through the waters of Fusang." ”

Hearing this, Lucius frowned slightly, lowered his head and muttered for a moment, "Speaking of which, you already know about my existence, and you want to use my hand to make Fusang compromise with you?"

Li Wuchen did not deny it: "Yes, so to speak, in fact, the puppets have known about your existence for a long time, and what you have done has also been passed back to the Tang Dynasty, and the second sage feels that you have a certain threat, and feels that Emperor Fusang will definitely not let you become strong, so he will compromise with us." ”

Speaking of this, a bitter smile appeared on Li Wuchen's face: "It's just that we didn't expect that you would be able to control the situation in Fusang in such a short period of time. ”

When Lucius heard what the other party said, he couldn't help but ask: "It seems that you have been paying attention to the situation in Fusang, so the war in Fusang is also related to you?"

Li Wuchen shook his head and denied: "No, the war in Fusang has nothing to do with us, in fact, we have indeed been paying attention to Fusang, but we have never intervened in the war in Fusang, firstly, because Fusang is far away, and secondly, we also want to be able to convince people with virtue, and we don't want to use soldiers to solve a thing." ”

Hear the words. Lucius couldn't help but smile and said, "But it seems that you have been fighting in the east all along, right?

Li Wuchen couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, and said obviously a little unhappily: "It seems that you seem to have a misunderstanding of our Tang Dynasty, thinking that we are only an empire that knows how to attack and provoke wars and annex other people?"

"Isn't it? According to what I've learned in Fusang, your Tang Empire is indeed like this, attacking and annexing small countries around it. ”

Li Wuchen couldn't help but shout when he heard this: "That's just because the surrounding countries started the war first, and they have already attacked the people on our border. Naturally, we can't tolerate them, and we must defeat them all, so that the people of my border can live in peace. ”

Seeing that Li Wuchen was a little excited, Lu Xius said with a smile: "Hehe, don't be excited, in fact, I don't have any malicious intentions, I just want to figure out some of the essence of your Tang Empire." ”

"Figure out our essence?" Li Wuchen was a little puzzled when he heard this.

Lecius went on to explain: "I am a very peace-loving person, and I don't want a hegemonic country. This is especially true for countries that bully their neighbors. ”

Listening to Lu Xiusius's words, Li Wuchen couldn't laugh or cry, looked at the surrounding situation and said, "Your Excellency is really good at laughing, the current situation." It seems that you are more domineering, right? Me and my people have now fallen into your hands. ”

Lucius spread his hands and said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you, since you have agreed to my conditions." I will never hurt you again. ”

As he spoke, Lucius turned to Tokugawa Kazuto and said, "Kazuto, you take the team." Escort His Royal Highness Prince Li Wuchen back to Edo Castle, and arrange for them to live in the Tokugawa family's mansion first, and wait for the war in Kyoto to end. ”

Tokugawa and the people were naturally obedient, but after thinking about it, they felt that something seemed wrong, so they couldn't help but ask Lucius, "Your Highness, won't you go back to Edo Castle with us?"

Lucius shook his head and responded: "Naturally, I won't go back, now that Edo City has His Royal Highness Prince Li Wuchen in charge, I believe it is very safe, I must rush to Kyoto to see how the war is going over there, at least to keep Kyoto and help your Emperor Xià solve the civil strife." ”

Li Wuchen also did not expect that the other party would actually leave him in Edo Castle, while he himself rushed to participate in the war in Fuso.

This made Li Wuchen feel a little unacceptable, and couldn't help but shout: "Hey, isn't it a little unfair that you put us under house arrest in Edo City, and you still have to participate in the war in Fuso?"

Without waiting for Lucius to respond, Shuang'er also shouted: "That is, you interfere in the war of Fusang yourself, but restrict us, aren't you an outsider?"

Lucius smiled when he heard this: "Hehe, I'm really sorry, in fact, there is no fairness in the world, whoever has the final say in the fist, and now you are my prisoners, so you are not qualified to negotiate conditions with me." ”

"You ......" Shuang'er heard such a scoundrel's words, and immediately roared angrily, "You, you are simply a bastard, scoundrel." ”

Lucius didn't pay attention to Shuang'er's curses, and said directly to Tokugawa Kazuto: "Okay, you send them back first, you only need to stay in Edo Castle, and you don't need to participate in the rest of the things." ”

Unexpectedly, this time Tokugawa Kazuto did not agree to Lucius, but looked at Lucius and said: "Your Highness, I, I don't think you should go, but let me lead the army to Kyoto, just like you said, Fuso's state affairs should be solved by ourselves, you have helped us a lot, this final war, I hope to be able to participate in it personally." ”

As he spoke, Tokugawa Kazuto actually turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and begged Lucius: "I beg your Highness, that you can fulfill it, so that I, Tokugawa Kazuto, can become a true warrior." ”

Seeing Tokugawa Kazuto, who knelt down on one knee and prayed to him, Lucius was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to plead with him like this.

After thinking about it, Lucius sighed and said, "Okay, you get up, let's go back to Edo Castle first, and then you lead the current army of Edo Castle to Kyoto, as for the mechanical beasts, I won't let them follow." ”

Hearing this, Tokugawa and people were immediately excited, and hurriedly kowtowed to Lucius: "Thank you, thank you, Your Highness, for being able to fulfill Tokugawa and people." ”

"There are still people who take the initiative to ask for war? What a group of crazy people, it seems that the war in Fuso has really reached the last critical moment, so if Kyoto loses, doesn't it mean that the Fuso royal family will also lose?"

Listening to Li Wuchen's words, Lu Xius smiled and said, "Hehe, I'm sorry, the Fusang Imperial Family will not lose, even if Kyoto is really lost, I will not let your Tang Empire succeed." ”

Li Wuchen had already understood at this moment that in fact, the ones who wanted to seize the status of the Fusang royal family should be Pei Yan and the others sent before, and he couldn't help but feel a little expectant.

Smiled to meet Lu Xiusius's gaze, and said without humility or arrogance: "Hehe, His Royal Highness Lu Xiusi, it seems that the outcome is still unknown, maybe even if I don't interfere, Fusang will eventually fall into the hands of Pei Yan, so in the end, our Datang will win." ”

Lecius replied disappreciatively: "Do you think Pei Yan can win? I don't think he can win, even if I don't go to Kyoto in person, he won't be able to win." ”

Li Wuchen didn't argue with Lucius, but just smiled and said, "Okay, let's wait and see." ”

Escorting Li Wuchen and others back to Edo Castle, Tokugawa Kazuto quickly gathered the army under the original Oda Nobumitsu, and then began to integrate the army to prepare for the aid of Kyoto, and the defense of Edo Castle was fully handed over to Lucius.

Before leaving, Tokugawa and the people went to Lucius, listened to Lucius's final instructions, and then led the army out of Edo Castle like a general with a heavy army.

When Tokugawa and the people left, Lucius was still sitting on the castle tower drinking, but it was Li Wuchen who was drinking with him, and Shuang'er next to him poured wine for the two of them, and the two Eastern and Western Highnesses sat on the castle tower and drank each other.

Li Wuchen looked at Lu Xius and asked with some puzzlement: "I still don't understand, why did you come all the way to the East? Could it be that you can't stay in the West anymore?"

Hearing Li Wuchen's words, Shuang'er couldn't help laughing, she knew very well that Li Wuchen was saying this on purpose, and she was clearly teasing Lucius directly.

And Lucius took a sip of wine and said, "Yes, I really can't stay in the West anymore, I don't know if you know about the Holy Land?"

Li Wuchen was stunned for a moment, carefully searched through his memories, vaguely remembered some rumors about the so-called holy domain, and asked with some puzzlement: "Is the holy domain you are talking about the legendary castle floating in the sky?"

Lucius nodded, "Yes, that's exactly there." ”

"But doesn't the rumor say that that the Sanctuary has already fallen? Could it be that you are from that Sky City?"

Lucius raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, and said calmly: "My family is from there, and the Holy Domain has indeed fallen before, and the existence of that Sky City is a kind of restriction on the invasion plane of the Western Magic Heavenly Kingdom, but now that this restriction has disappeared, the Magic Heavenly Kingdom will start a large-scale invasion." ”

"The invasion of the Magical Heavenly Kingdom?" Li Wuchen was surprised when he heard this.

In fact, he also knew something about the Magic Heavenly Kingdom, and knew that it was a divine kingdom of extraterritorial civilizations, and it was also an eternal kingdom of gods like the immortal realm in the east.

The only difference is that the Magical Heavens have been trying to invade many different surfaces, destroy the native civilizations on those planes, and then use the magical civilization to rule those places, and eventually turn those planes into the source of the Magical Heavens' beliefs.

This kind of thing is actually despised even by the immortals of the Eastern Immortal Realm, so the Immortal Realm envelops the East to avoid the invasion of the Magic Heaven.

Lecius then said, "Actually, I came to the East to avoid the strong period of the magical heavenly forces, and to seek some help in the East, so that I can go back and defeat the magical civilization that has begun to decay. (To be continued......)
