Hidetomi Takeda stared at Lucius with a shocked face, and his thoughts were still difficult to calm down.

As a well-known samurai of Fuso, Takeda Hidetomi, like most of the well-known samurai of Fuso, was sent by the emperor to travel to Middle-earth to study.

Perhaps for the rest of Fuso, the power of Middle-earth is just a thought, but for Takeda Hidetomi, who has been to Middle-earth, he and the samurai who went to study with him have truly experienced the power of Middle-earth and the terrifying majesty.

It was precisely because he had seen the power of Middle-earth with his own eyes that Takeda Hidetomi reined in his original arrogance after returning to Fuso and returned to his family in peace.

Even when his brother abdicated, he originally wanted to pass on the position of head of the family and daimyo to him, but he politely refused, and chose to hide behind his back to assist Takeda Gang, and after helping Takeda Gang eradicate most of the dissidents, he lived a semi-secluded life of long-term retreat and cultivation.

Later, it was learned that the Tokugawa family secretly took refuge in Middle-earth, received support from many sects in Middle-earth, and openly promoted Buddhism throughout Fuso, Takeda Hidetomi, like most powerful samurai in Fuso, almost all chose to remain silent, because they were well aware of the strength of Middle-earth, and they also understood that the introduction of Buddhism into Fuso could not be stopped.

It can be said that in the heart of Takeda Hidetomi, Middle-earth is completely invincible, and even the most powerful samurai can only grovel in the face of Middle-earth.

However, today, Takeda Hidetomi met Lucius, but he didn't expect that Lucius, a young man from the West, would have the idea of coveting Middle-earth.

Lucius didn't know what Takeda Hidetomi was thinking in his heart, and saw that Takeda Hidetomi was silent. There was a faint look of worry on his face, and Lucius hurriedly continued to persuade: "Actually, you don't have to worry, I will not interfere in the internal affairs of your Takeda family, and the affairs within the family, including your territory, are still up to you, and I will help you strengthen yourself, and finally with the help of your power, I can enter Middle-earth smoothly." ”

Hearing this, Takeda Hidetomi was already thrilled, and he also hoped that his family would be even stronger. If you can use the power of Lucius's hands. Let the family's power continue to grow, Takeda Hidetomi felt that even if he entered the soil in the future, he would be able to explain something when he saw those ancestors of the Takeda family in the past.

Thus. Hidetomi Takeda, who had already approved Lucius's conditions. Suddenly, he said, "Your Excellency." I need to tell you one thing, now that the Tokugawa family has blocked the road to the East, hardly allowing anyone to try to leave Fuso for the East. ”

It can be seen that Hidetomi Takeda has chosen to take refuge in himself. Lucius was overjoyed, but then he listened to Takeda Hidetomi's message to him, and the smile on his face suddenly froze again.

Stunned for a moment, Lucius hurriedly asked, "Are you saying that the path from Fusang to Middle-earth has been cut off now?"

Takeda Hidetomi shook his head and replied: "It's not that the road is broken, but that the Tokugawa family, in order to dominate the resources, stipulates that everyone who tries to go to Middle-earth must be reviewed by the Tokugawa family, otherwise they will be positioned as a crime by the Tokugawa family and may be directly executed." ”

As if in order to confirm Takeda Hidetomi's words, the monk Ichiqing stepped forward at this time and said, "Your Highness, he is right, Tokugawa Iehiko has indeed issued a decree prohibiting any individual from going to sea to Middle-earth at will. ”

After receiving the confirmation of the monk Yiqing, Lucius couldn't help but feel annoyed, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Damn it, you actually monopolized the opportunity to go to Middle-earth, hmph, does it mean that none of you will resist? You must know that if you have the support of Middle-earth, I am afraid that the Takeda family has already developed in the east." ”

Takeda Hidetomi sighed helplessly: "Hey, it's not that we haven't thought about resisting, it's just that the overall strength of the Tokugawa family is too strong, and we can't compete with it at all." ”

From Takeda Hidetomi's words, Lucius could feel his helplessness, which was unwilling to grow the family, and it was also a sigh for his lack of strength.

At this time, Soga Inamome came over and interjected: "Actually, the Tokugawa family is not very strong and invincible, but they have the support of Middle-earth forces behind them, especially the support of Middle-earth Buddhism, which makes the overall strength of the Tokugawa family higher than other daimyos. ”

Hearing this, Takeda Hidechen immediately turned his head to look, carefully looked at the two people who interjected, and suddenly exclaimed: "One, Yiqing monk, and Su I Daome, you, why are you here?"

Soga Inamome didn't answer Takeda Hidetomi's question, because earlier Soga Inamome had wanted to push down the Takeda family and replace him, but now that he has lost his ghosts, he doesn't want to say more in front of others, and he doesn't want to expose the fact that he has lost his ghosts.

However, the monk of Yiqing was light and light, and his hands were folded to send the Buddha in response: "Amitabha, don't come to Takeda?"

Takeda Hidechen bowed to Monk Yiqing and returned the salute, looked at the three figures around him who were still fighting fiercely, and then looked at the blood stains on his chest, and could only smile bitterly and said: "Master Yiqing, you have also seen it, I still suffered a big loss after all." ”

Yiqing Monk Yun responded with a light smile: "Don't get in the way, I believe His Royal Highness Lucius will help you heal your injuries." ”

Hearing the honorific title of the monk Yiqing to Lucius, and then looking at Suga Inamome and his respect for Lucius, Takeda Hidetomi immediately understood, knowing that the two of them had also taken refuge in the young man from the West in front of him.

Although he saw that Monk Ichiqing and Soga Inamome had taken refuge in Lucius, Takeda Hidetomi was still reluctant to let go, and seemed to be a little worried.

And at this time, the three people fighting in the mansion have gradually subsided, and the two figures who rushed out from behind Lucius occupied an absolute advantage, just wanting to capture Takeda fiercely, so the two of them were still making the last effort.

As for Takeda Takeshi, who originally faced one person, he may still have some confidence in fighting fiercely with the other party, but when facing two people, he completely lost the initiative and was always pressed and beaten.

In the end, it was seen that the two wanted to capture themselves alive, but Takeda Takeshi naturally refused to give in, even though he knew that he could not be the opponent of the two, he still tried his best to do the final battle of the trapped beast.

Takeda Hidetomi looked at the three people in the fierce battle, and saw that the two of them couldn't take Takeda Takeshi, so he questioned the strength of Lucius in his heart, you must know that around the Takeda family land Chiba, there is no shortage of powerful daimyo, especially the daimyo in the north, in terms of strength, it is much higher than the Takeda family, and the Takeda family has almost relied on Takeda Takeshi to resist each other in the north over the years, otherwise I am afraid that the stronger daimyo has already invaded the Chiba region of the Takeda family.

Now if he takes refuge in Lucius, the other party can't even clean up Takeda Takeshi at the moment, how can he help the Takeda family defeat the suppression of the northern daimyo?

Just when Takeda Hidetomi was skeptical and wanted to re-examine Lucius.

Seeing that Oda Nobumitsu and Taiyuan Yukisai couldn't take Takeda Takeshi for a long time, Lucius also felt a little impatient, so he glanced at No. 3 and No. 4 behind him, and No. 4 wore out almost instantly.

The next moment, everyone only heard a scream, and when they looked closely, they watched as Takeda was captured by a man with metal all over his body.

No. 4 twisted Takeda's arm with one hand, and from the pained look on Takeda's face and the obvious twisted appearance of that arm, it was not difficult to tell that I was afraid that the arm had been twisted.

Lucius frowned a little dissatisfied, and scolded No. 4 with a smile: "It's not for you to be careful, you just scrap his arm like this, won't he become a waste in the future?"

Hearing this, No. 4 quickly let go of Takeda Takeshi, retreated behind Lucius like a child who had done something wrong, and stood there without saying a word, as if waiting for Lucius's punishment.

Seeing this, Lucius waved his hand and said, "That's it, you should be careful in the future." ”

Then, Lucius turned to look at Takeda Hidetomi: "Now, I have helped you solve the troubles within your Takeda family, which can be regarded as a little sincerity on my part, I hope that the Takeda family can become my loyal allies, I will definitely not treat my allies badly, of course, allies must also fulfill your obligations." ”

Hearing this, Takeda Hidetomi smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that we have no choice, but since Your Highness is willing to be our ally, then the Takeda family will definitely fully support their allies." ”

Lucius was very satisfied with Takeda Hidetomi's cleanliness, and asked No. 4 to take Takeda Takeshi out of the daimyo's mansion, and he slowly walked to the mourning hall and paid homage to Takeda Tsuyoshi.

After the worship came out, Lucius smiled and said to Hidetomi Takeda and Koji Takeda, "I'll go back first, and I'll still live in that fishing village by the sea for the time being......"

Seeing that Takeda Koji seemed to want to keep himself, Lucius stopped him and continued: "Don't persuade me to stay, it's not suitable for me to stay now, because presumably your Takeda family still has a lot of things to do, and when you are all done, if you really want to form an alliance with me, then you can go to the fishing village to find me." ”

After that, Lucius didn't stop any longer, took No. 3, No. 4 and Mingtang, as well as Oda Nobumitsu, Taiyuan Yukisai, Soga Inamo, and Ichisei Monks, turned around and walked towards the outside of the Daimyo's mansion.

Standing in front of the mourning hall, looking at the back of Lucius leaving, Takeda Hidetomi couldn't help but sigh: "I really can't imagine that there are people in the West who can really cross that abyss of the Nine Shadows." ”

Takeda Koji echoed in a low voice: "Yes, he is indeed very powerful, especially the metal people around him, they are simply not ordinarily powerful, I heard in the fishing village that the ghost god of Soga Inamo was killed by him himself." ”

"What? He, can he kill ghosts and gods? So, isn't he already a god?"

In Takeda Hidetomi's cognition, the existence of the ghost god who can kill the god is comparable to Amarasu, so when he heard that Lucius can kill the ghost god, he was already shocked, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: Fortunately, he agreed to the other party's alliance, otherwise I am afraid that the entire Takeda family will not be the opponent of others.
