Chapter 675: Kyoto Ambush
Standing on the city tower, Lucius quietly looked at the scene below, listened to the shouts of the people in front of the city gate, couldn't help frowning, and whispered: "Mingtang's appearance is a bit out of place, if he appears later, he may be able to wait until some restless guys attack first." ”
After listening to Lucius's words, No. 3, who has rarely spoken at such times, said before No. 4 this time: "But Your Highness, Mingtang's appearance like this will make his image of Susanoo more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." ”
No. 4 also chimed in: "Yes, Mingtang has almost confirmed Susanoo's identity now, and today he is recognized by the people of Kyoto, he will be able to gain more believers in the future, and Your Highness, your control over the entire Fuso will become more stable." ”
Hearing this, Lucius grinned: "Hehe, I didn't think about relying on faith to control the entire Fusang, I just didn't want the Middle-earth civilization to occupy Fusang." ”
Speaking of this, Lu Xiu paused for a moment, stared at the scene below and said: "If we really let the Middle-earth civilization occupy Fusang, once I run into trouble in Middle-earth, we will not even have a way out, the other party will control Fusang, and then we will be wine in someone else's cup." ”
Three and Four knew very well that Lucius did this to prevent the descendant of the Hearts Clan, worried that the other party would gain too much power in Middle-earth, and use the power of Middle-earth to eliminate Lucius and them.
Now Lucius has made Mingtang the god of Fusang, so as to support the entire local civilization of Fusang, the purpose is to leave Middle-earth in the future if he can't fight the descendants of the Hearts royal family, and leave Middle-earth to have a place in the East, so that he can temporarily shelter from the wind and waves, regain his strength and fight with the other party.
Even now that Lucius has won the game of the descendants of the Hearts Royal Clan, he doesn't think that the other party can be defeated by himself lightly, after all, the other party is in Fusang, and he has not brought the demon god with him.
It can be said that Lucius won the game of Baimeng, which is equivalent to a victory in the game of wits between the two sides. If the two really clash, in fact, Lucius would not dare to guarantee that he would be able to take down the other party.
Out of prudence, Lucius will arrange a way back for himself in advance, so that he in the east can not lose all the games if he loses in one move, and it is precisely because of this consideration that he will stay in Fusang for so long, trying to solve the war situation in Fusang and make Fusang his own foothold.
Right now, the situation is developing according to Lucius's vision. He almost had to take complete control of the situation in Fuso, as long as the emperor could take over all of Fuso and he could carry out his own ideas.
Then Lucius believes that Fuso, which has Koji Takeda and Yukisai Taiyuan, will inevitably lend a helping hand to him when he is in trouble.
There was chaos in the procession in front of the city gate, Sakura Rinko wanted to let the royal family members come to his side, and she wanted to bring all the royal family members into the city together, so as to show the majesty of the imperial family, and at the same time to give Tokugawa Isahiko a dismount. He was also the revenge of being oppressed by Tokugawa Iehiko.
If Lucius was there, he might be able to intervene to stop Sakura, but at the moment, Lucius was not present, and Taiyuan Xuezhai and Mingtang had to maintain the majesty and face of the emperor.
As for Tokugawa Iehiko, he didn't dare to be disobedient. Because he was worried that the emperor would settle accounts with him, he was now doing as much as the other party said, fulfilling the emperor's wishes, just to be able to satisfy the emperor. I won't hold a grudge against myself for what happened at the beginning.
However, it is such a seemingly small thing, but it has caused a wave of confusion. Because there are many members of the royal family after all, especially some elders who are older than Sakura Rinko.
Sakura Rinko originally wanted to connect those people to the carriage, but although her car was transformed by Lucius, the interior space was still not very large, and it was obviously impossible to accommodate so many royals, so who could enter the car and who would continue to walk became the source of chaos.
Standing in the tower, quietly watching the chaos below, Number Four couldn't help but say to Lucius: "Your Highness, don't you come forward?
As a result, almost as soon as the fourth spoke, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd below, and then a group of samurai hidden in the crowd suddenly rushed out and rushed directly towards the carriage parked in front of the city gate.
Seeing this, No. 3 glanced at No. 4, and couldn't help but smile and said, "No. 4, I can't see it, you are really a crow's mouth, and you can really say anything." ”
Number Four said innocently: "Well, you can't blame me, right? Those guys have obviously been hiding for a long time, they are just waiting for chaos to happen, but they didn't create chaos, and the driving team itself has chaos, how could those guys let go of such an opportunity?"
Seeing the ambusher appear, Tokugawa Iehiko reacted quickly and ordered his retainers to lead the samurai to resist, trying not to let any of the ambushers get close to the car.
At the same time, Tokugawa Iehiko himself drew his katana and quickly came to the rear of the car, wanting to go one after the other with Taiyuan Yukisai to protect the emperor's car and the surrounding royal family members.
The samurai who ambushed were a group of dead soldiers, and for them, the purpose of their trip was to ambush the emperor, and they had already put life and death aside from this order, so they were extremely fierce in their charges, and they soon had a complete advantage.
Although both the samurai of the Tokugawa family and the samurai brought by Taiyuan Xuesai, they were all extremely brave, and they were not afraid to fight at all.
However, in the face of the desperate fight, the samurai who were responsible for resisting and defending obviously did not have the ferocity of the other party, and soon a large number of samurai were killed, and the progress of the group of ambushed dead soldiers did not seem to be stopped at all.
Seeing that the group of dead soldiers became more and more courageous, Tokugawa Ihiko suddenly felt a little helpless, it can be said that although Tokugawa Ihiko was a great general, and he had led his troops to fight with the emperor's former army, but he had never really faced this kind of scene, especially not seen such a dead soldier.
Seeing that the two stronger dead soldiers had rushed in front of him, Tokugawa Isahiko was a little dazed with a katana in his hand, and when he saw the other party swinging his sword and slashing at him, he even instinctively raised the blade to resist.
A metallic sound woke up Tokugawa Iehiko, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had not fought the other party, but a white figure rushed out.
The figure waved a gilded stick in his hand to block the two dead soldiers, and waved the gilt stick to force the two dead soldiers to retreat, and at the same time, he stepped forward to give the two dead soldiers who quickly retreated a stick, so that the two dead soldiers had to retreat again and again, so as to avoid the strong attack of Taiyuan Xuezhai.
Taiyuan Xuezhai forced back the two dead soldiers, but instead of chasing after him, he turned back and reprimanded Tokugawa Iehiko: "General Tokugawa, what are you doing? Do you want to cause more trouble?"
Listening to Taiyuan Xuesai's words, Tokugawa Isahiko was full of doubts, and he didn't understand why Taiyuan Xuezhai said this, as if he didn't cause any more trouble even if he was in a daze, right?
At the same time, Lucius, who was standing on the castle tower, saw the scene below, especially when he looked at Tokugawa Iehiko, his eyes were faintly cold, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied with Tokugawa Iehiko's reaction just now, and even a trace of murderous intent faintly appeared in his eyes.
Taiyuan Xuezhai waved the gilded stick in his hand to force the dead soldier back again, and at the same time whispered to Tokugawa Iehiko: "Haven't you thought that if you were killed just now, do you think the retainers of the Tokugawa family can still be safe?"
Tokugawa Ihiko instantly understood, knowing why Taiyuan Xuezhai was so angry, thinking back to his cousin just now, he couldn't help but want to take a look at the castle tower, and suddenly felt a little worried in his heart.
In fact, this ambush seemed to be aimed at the emperor, but in fact it was a planned ambush, even if the emperor could not be successfully ambushed in the end, if Tokugawa Iehiko could be solved, it would inevitably destroy the Tokugawa family's plan to annex the emperor, and almost all the leading figures present were calculated.
It's just that maybe those dead soldiers didn't expect that because Koji Takeda, who was in charge of escorting the emperor's car, didn't come, but was replaced by a little-known Taiyuan Xuezhai.
Therefore, the main targets of the dead soldiers now are the emperor and Tokugawa Ihiko, because no matter which of them dies or is seriously injured, the situation will change dramatically.
After figuring out the other party's goal, Tokugawa Isahiko suddenly became vigilant, the previous confusion in his eyes disappeared, and in the face of the dead soldiers who attacked him, Tokugawa Ihiko became more calm and calm, waving the blade in his hand, showing his demeanor and strength as a general.
On the castle tower, looking at the chaotic scene below, Number Four asked with some concern: "Your Highness, when are we going to make a move?" It seems that those people below may not be able to hold on. ”
Lucius saw the somewhat anxious No. 4, and said with a calm smile: "Hehe, don't worry, it's not time for us to make a move, these dead soldiers are just the first wave of ambushes, and there will be more exciting ambushes in the future, as the strongest, we naturally have to be the last to appear in line with our identity." ”
Hearing Lucius say this, Number Four stopped talking and continued to look at the chaos below, paying special attention to the Emperor's car parked in front of the city gate.
As time passed, the chaos caused by the dead soldiers gradually subsided, and although the Tokugawa family paid a considerable price, no important people were injured.
Most of the dead have been dealt with, and the remaining dead soldiers look more like they are fighting the trapped beasts, because they have been surrounded by the samurai army of the Tokugawa family, and it is almost impossible to break through the encirclement, and it is only a matter of time before they die, but those dead soldiers are already ready to die, and naturally no one is afraid.
At the end of the fight was a bloody massacre, and the dominant side ruthlessly slaughtered the last surrounded dead soldiers, and because of the fear that those dead soldiers would fight back before they died, in the end, no samurai approached them, but directly shot all the dead soldiers with bows and arrows at a long distance.
