Su I Inamome kneeling in front of Lucius was like sitting on pins and needles, and he now regretted a little in his heart, regretting that because of the greed in his heart, he impulsively ran back to ask for Ibaraki, where Taiyuan Xuezhai was about to send troops.

Because when he saw Shirou who stayed by Lucius's side, he suddenly thought that Ibaraki might be a place that Lucius had left for Shirou, and he was coming back now to ask for that place, which was tantamount to going against Lucius's arrangement, and now Soga Inamome was very nervous and worried that he would annoy Lucius.

Lu Xius naturally looked at Su Idaomu carefully, and from the time he made a special trip back, Taiyuan Xuezhai said that he did not want to become a daimyo to govern Ibaraki, and wanted to continue to follow Lu Xius's side.

And according to Su Idao's words, it was because Taiyuan Xuezhai was worried that it would anger Lucius, so he asked himself to come and explain to Lucius.

From the words before and after, Lucius had clearly guessed that Soga Inamome was coveting the position of the Ibaraki Daimyo, so he made a special trip back.

For Soga Inamo's thoughts, Lucius didn't mean to blame, turned his head to look at Shirou behind him and said, "Shirou, what do you think? Do you have any thoughts about Ibaraki?"

Hearing Lucius ask like this, Su Iiname's mood suddenly sank to the bottom, and he thought: It seems that His Royal Highness Lucius is really preparing to let Emiya Shirou take charge of Ibaraki, and want to push him to sit in the position of Ibaraki Daimyo, hey, if I knew that this was the case, I shouldn't have run back to wade into this troubled water.

At the same time, in the middle hall of the Takeda family's mansion, the elders and retainers of the Takeda family had already gathered, and everyone present was apprehensive about the thunderous methods after the return of Takeda Koji.

As soon as he heard some of Taiyuan Xuezhai's analysis, Takeda Koji ignored those elders and retainers under his command, but stared at Taiyuan Xuezhai and said, "You mean, Su I Inamome is asking for hardship when I go back this time? I may even annoy His Highness Lucius? Then aren't you borrowing a knife to kill someone?"

Taiyuan Xuezhai said very calmly: "No, although before Su I Inamome went back, I didn't think of the palace Shirou beside His Highness. But there is no danger for him to go, and he may even get some benefit. ”

Everyone present was at a loss, and Oda Nobumitsu asked the doubts in everyone's hearts: "I don't understand, since His Highness intends to give the position of the daimyo to the boy of Emiya Shirou, how can Su I Inamome not annoy His Highness when he goes here, and why does His Highness give him benefits?"

"It's very simple, Emiya Shirou doesn't want to be a daimyo in Ibaraki, his loyalty to His Highness can be said to be unmatched by anyone, and with the powerful power that His Highness has given him, he will definitely follow His Highness faithfully. ”

At the same time as Taiyuan Xuezhai said this. In the side house of the village shrine, Emiya Shirou responded to Lucius's previous question very solemnly: "Your Highness, Shirou doesn't want to be a big name, Shirou just wants to follow by your side, Shirou wants to be your sword and sword, and clear a Qiē enemy for you." ”

For Emiya Shirou's answer, Lu Xiuston grinned, and on the other side, Soga Inamome couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Emiya Shirou would say that he wanted to get Ibaraki.

I saw Su Idao's panting in his eyes. Lucius couldn't help but smile and said, "Su I, now Shirou doesn't want to become a daimyo, and Taiyuan Xuezhai doesn't want to sit in Ibaraki, who do you think is suitable to sit in Ibaraki for me?"

Soga Inami, who just breathed a sigh of relief. was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Lucius to ask himself directly like this, he originally thought that Lucius would be more tactful, or ask himself first if he would like to sit in Ibaraki. The words he had thought of were now impossible to say.

After a long time, Su I Daomu didn't say a complete sentence. In the end, he could only bite the bullet and say: "This kind of big thing, naturally, also, you have to make up your mind." ”

Seeing that Su and I had been stumbling for a long time, Lucius actually said such a thing, and immediately laughed: "Hahaha, Su I, you don't have to be nervous, I know the purpose of your trip, since you want Ibaraki, then I will give it to you, but I want to remind you, let you sit in Ibaraki, you have to play the role of Ibaraki." ”

Su I Inamome first burst into ecstasy, and then suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and asked Lucius, "Your Highness, what do you need me to do?"

Lucius waved his hand and spread out a map of Fuso, pointed to the area north of Ibaraki, and said, "Ibaraki is north, what I need you to do is to take down all these places in the north of Ibaraki." ”

Looking at the map, Soga Inamome was stunned, there are five or six regions north of Ibaraki, and it can be said that there are many large and small samurai families and daimyo forces in each region, and if you want to take down all those places, it will definitely take a fierce battle, and it is definitely not a task that can be completed in a short time.

Without waiting for Su I Inamome to speak, Lucius continued: "I don't need you to complete it in a short time, but you can't drag it out endlessly, I'll give you a year." ”

"Your Highness, there is only one year, I'm afraid it will ......" Su Idaome looked embarrassed, wanting to buy more time from Lucius.

But Lucius didn't give him a chance to finish his words at all, and interrupted him directly: "Don't push in front of me, but after investigation, there is no powerful daimyo in the place north of Ibaraki, originally I wanted Shirou to go, but since Shirou doesn't want to become a daimyo, it is cheaper for you over there." ”

When Su Daomu heard this, he knew that he couldn't continue to push back, so he directly promised: "Okay, since His Royal Highness has an order, then Su I Daomu will naturally die." ”

Lucius nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, since the matter here has been resolved, you can go back quickly, by the way, by the way, bring me all those heads, give them to Oda Nobumitsu, and tell him that I must hang those heads in the Daimyo Mansion of the Saitama Uesugi family." ”

Hearing this, Su I Inamome was suddenly shocked, and after thinking about it, he asked tentatively: "Your Highness, the Uesugi family is also an ancient daimyo family in Fuso, and it is even older than the Takeda family, if Oda does what you say, I'm afraid it will really anger the Uesugi family, and he won't be able to sit firmly in Saitama." ”

"Hehehe, Suga Inami, you haven't solved your own affairs now, so you start thinking about others? Sue Sù Oda Nobumitsu, if he can't do it, I can send someone to do it again. ”

Su Idaome was shocked when he heard this, and knew that there was no objection to continuing to persuade him, so he could only get up and take his leave, and cautiously exit the side house of the shrine.

Pulling the door shut, Soga Inamome tried his forehead with the placket of his clothes. Only to find that he was already sweating profusely, and he was secretly glad that he didn't really annoy Lucius, and he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he could only quickly turn around and walk outside the shrine, just wanting to leave as much as possible.

As soon as he stepped out of the shrine, Soga Inamome was stopped by the person in front of him, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be a lame Nakatoshi Kamazu, who was supported by a servant to block Soga Inamome's way.

Su I Daomu raised his head and looked at Zhongchen Kazu, and sneered with some disdain: "Zhongchen Jun, I'm afraid that you are only going to change your name to 'Zhongchen Lame' now, right?"

Listened to Su Idao's ridicule. Zhongchen Kazuzu was not angry, and at the same time stopped the somewhat annoyed servants around him, and said with a calm smile: "Hehe, Su Ijun, in fact, I admire you a lot, in the face of such a tyrant, you can still serve the other party so satisfied." ”

Su Idaome smiled disappetively and responded: "Yes, but a tyrant is better than that puppet, and you have to have those little calculations." I'm afraid it won't work now, will it?"

was ridiculed by Su I Daomu, and Zhongchen Kazuzu was not annoyed, but sighed: "Hey." Actually, we can cooperate, and we shouldn't attack each other here. ”

Hearing this, Su Idaomu looked up and laughed and walked forward: "Hahaha, Nakazu Kamazu, you are no longer qualified to cooperate with me now." You and I are both a dog under someone else's command, if you want to cooperate, let your master go to His Highness Lecius. You and I can't talk at all, so I won't accompany you and leave. ”

Watching Su I Inamome stride away, the attendant samurai beside Nakatomi Kamazu immediately whispered with some annoyance: "My lord, Su I Inamome is a toast and does not eat and drink, do you want me to take someone to teach him a lesson?"

Zhongchen waved his hand and said: "No, for the time being, let them be proud one by one for a while, and when they return triumphantly, we will naturally have the capital to turn them around, and then we will clean them up well, now, we still need to be patient, not to provoke them too much." ”

The attendant samurai then asked in a low voice, "But my lord, now His Majesty the Emperor seems to have been frightened by that outsider, and he doesn't even dare to go out of the shrine these days, and he doesn't dare to see you, my lord." ”

Hearing this, Zhongchen Kazuzu frowned slightly, and a trace of anger faintly appeared between his eyebrows, but it gradually dissipated, lowered his head and looked at his broken leg, and whispered viciously: "Sooner or later, one day, I will recover this account, since His Majesty the Emperor is willing to be a puppet, then I will let her be enough." ”

With that, Nakatomi Kamazu turned around and left the front of the shrine with the support of his entourage, and slowly walked towards a house in the ruined village that had been destroyed by the war.

Soon after they left, a small metal machine came out of the ground, quickly burrowed through the crack in the shrine door, and rushed straight into the side room where Lucius was.

Together with Wei Gong Shirou, Lu Xius learned about the words of Nakamiya Kamazu, and Wei Gong Shirou immediately frowned and said: "Your Highness, it will be a scourge for this Nakamiya Shirou to keep sooner or later, it is better to get rid of him, and it can be regarded as solving some unnecessary troubles in advance." ”

Hearing Emiya Shirou say this, Lucius shook his head instead: "No, it's not the time yet, Nakazu Kamazu still needs to keep him for a while." ”

"Why?"

"Because he's the only guy who knows where Kinoshita Hideyoshi's people are, we have to figure out where those people are. ”

Hearing this, Emiya Shirou continued to ask with some puzzlement: "Those guys? They are just low-level warriors in the countryside, will they have any impact on the battle situation?"

It can be seen that Emiya Shirou is actually the same as most Fuso people, they look down on the low-level samurai born in the countryside, and in their eyes, the low-level samurai are unlikely to make much of a storm and become a threat, so they don't care about those low-level samurai.

Lucius didn't explain too much, but said calmly: "Shirou, you have to remember that at any time, I can't look down on the enemy, no matter how he was born, any enemy may burst out with impressive strength, so you must not be careless when dealing with your enemies." (To be continued......)
