Chapter 666: Edo's Crisis

The mechanism on his legs worked during the run, giving Lucius a boost that made him run almost effortlessly, and at the same time running at no slower speed.

Even with Yuko Jingu on his shoulder, Lucius's speed was still very fast, and he rushed out of Edo Castle almost in the blink of an eye, and even the guards in front of Edo Castle did not have time to react.

When everyone came to their senses and tried to find Lucius again, they found that the person had disappeared, and it seemed that Lucius had never appeared at all, but those who had been in contact with Lucius clearly knew that Lucius had appeared, and they also had a meal at the largest restaurant in Edo City.

The samurai who had stolen the token, looking at the messy table in front of him, stepped forward and grabbed the token on the table, and carefully wiped the oil stains off the token.

At this moment, the owner of the restaurant seemed to get the news, rushed into the private room in a hurry, and saw the samurai who was wiping the token, and the boss stepped forward and grabbed the other party: "You, do you want to eat the overlord meal? You think you are a samurai, you can do whatever you want here with me?"

The samurai was grabbed by the restaurant owner and felt aggrieved, but he didn't dare to get angry at the restaurant owner, because he knew very well the forces behind the other party, and it was definitely not something that he could afford to provoke as a little samurai.

Hurriedly accompanied Xiaolian to explain to the boss: "Boss, this, this is a misunderstanding, my token was stolen, and I chased it here in order to recover the token, I, I didn't eat anything from you." ”

But the boss grabbed the samurai and didn't let go, after all, he lost a lot of the meal in front of him, if he let the other party go like this, then the loss would have to be made up by him, the boss, even if he had the support of the Tokugawa family behind him, he was not willing to bear this part of the loss himself.

The restaurant owner sneered and said, "Hehe, I don't care so much, this token is yours." Then you're going to have to pay the bill, and I'm not the place to take credit at will. ”

The samurai suddenly felt a little helpless, if it was himself, he would never come to the restaurant to eat, and even if he came to eat in the restaurant, he would never dare to enter the private room on the second floor of the restaurant.

This restaurant is the most famous restaurant in the entire Edo Castle, and not only does it require a matching identity to enter, but it also costs a lot of money to have a meal here. Ordinary samurai, despite their status, did not dare to set foot in the restaurant to eat.

Now that he was caught by someone, he still took the blame for others, and the samurai was naturally unhappy, although he didn't dare to offend the other party, he still said with a straight face: "Boss, this meal is indeed not for me, so I can't pay for this money." ”

The boss sneered when he heard this and said, "Hehe, can't you come out?" do you think you won't pay today. Can you still get out of here?"

As soon as the words fell, a few thugs who were strong at a glance rushed out from the side, and instantly surrounded the samurai with the token, obviously if he didn't pay for it. It's impossible to get out of this restaurant.

Facing the other party's tense appearance, the samurai also felt a burst of annoyance, and originally wanted to pay to understand the matter this time, but seeing the bullying posture in front of him. The samurai suddenly felt humiliated and shouted angrily, "Hmph, then come on." Don't think I'm afraid of you. ”

The atmosphere between the two sides became more tense, and the samurai with the token in hand faced the opponent's dozen thugs alone, but he was not afraid at all, and waited for the opponent to make a move.

Just as the two sides were about to make a move, a voice suddenly stopped them: "Wait." ”

Everyone turned their heads to look and saw Sakai Tadaji and Kamihara Yasumasa walking slowly, recognizing their identities, and those present immediately bowed straight to the two.

Yasumasa Kamihara walked up to the samurai, looked at the samurai's humble and arrogant appearance, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what the guy who stole your token looks like?"

For the samurai holding the token, he didn't dare to imagine that he would be able to meet the two of the four heavenly kings of the Tokugawa family, and Kanhara Yasumasa would actually ask him personally, which made the samurai feel a little flattered for a moment, and quickly replied: "Back to Lord Kamihara, I didn't see the appearance of those two, but I can be sure that one of them is a woman." ”

The owner of the restaurant sneered with some disdain when he heard this: "You are talking nonsense at all, most people in the restaurant know that it is a man and a woman." ”

Seeing this, Sakai Tadaji smiled and asked the restaurant owner: "Then boss, you seem to have more clues, right? Since you have more clues and details, why do you force others to pay?"

Although the restaurant is backed by the children of the Tokugawa family, the owner of the restaurant knows very well that the person behind him is not the opponent of Sakai Tadaji and Kamihara Yasumasa at all, whether it is status, status or strength, it is weaker than the opponent of the two generals in front of him who trust the two most.

Seeing Sakai Tadaji asking himself like this, the restaurant owner quickly knelt down and lowered his head and explained: "Lord Sakai, actually, I don't want to, the main reason is that there are too many losses in this room, and I, I can't bear it alone, so that's why I will see profit and abandon righteousness." ”

"Hehe, businessmen are like this, they will do whatever it takes for their interests, okay, I won't blame you for this incident, you first talk about the details and characteristics of those two people. ”

Hearing that Sakai Tadaji said that he would not pursue it, the boss suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly recalled the man and woman, and introduced some details to Sakai Tadaji and Kamihara Yasumasa.

"Those two people, the man really doesn't have much impression, but he looks very arrogant, it seems that he should be a person who was born rich, but he always has a very friendly smile on his face, although you know in your heart that the other party is very arrogant, but you still want to be close when you see his smile. ”

As for the woman, she seemed to be very restrained, like the young man's attendant, but the woman's temperament was also extraordinary, especially every move, it would reveal a kind of aristocratic atmosphere, especially when she ordered, she also ordered a few very famous ancient dishes. ”

Speaking of this, the boss suddenly felt a burst of chagrin: "But I never thought that those two guys would actually eat and run away without paying." ”

When Yasumasa Kamihara heard this, he had basically determined who the man was, and after taking a look at Tadaji Sakai, he personally took out the money and handed it to the boss and said, "Boss, no one is allowed to mention that person's affairs again, you just treat that person as if that person has not appeared, and you have not seen it, and I will help him with his food money." ”

Seeing that Yasumasa Kamihara actually took the initiative to take out the money, the restaurant owner was stunned, and it was not until Tadaji Sakai and Yasumasa Kamihara left that he gradually came back to his senses, looking at the money bag in his hand in a daze.

After a long time, he asked a little blankly, "What does Kamihara-sama mean by this?"

The samurai said disdainfully: "Hmph, you can't even see this, that's a very remarkable character, hehe, I see the master behind you, can I keep you this time." ”

After that, the samurai didn't stay any longer, and turned around and walked directly to the bottom of the restaurant, originally he wanted to follow Sakai Tadaji and Kamihara Yasumasa, but when he ran out of the restaurant, he found that the two of them were gone.

At this moment, Sakai Tadaji and Kamihara Yasumasa were rushing towards the Tokugawa family's mansion, and they had already guessed that the young man should be Lucius.

Now they are desperate to find Tokugawa Iehiko, report the matter to Tokugawa Iehiko, and then gather the existing strength of the Tokugawa family to find Lucius as much as possible.

It's just that when the two of them returned to the Tokugawa family's mansion in a hurry, they wanted to ask to see Tokugawa Iehiko, but the answer they received was: "The shogun went to the shrine outside the castle to worship and has not returned." ”

Sakai Tadaji and Kamihara Yasumasa were stunned when they heard this, and then Sakai Tadaji said directly to Kamihara Yasumasa: "You immediately go and mobilize the forces in the city, and hurry to the shrine, I will go to the shrine now, and we will meet at the foot of the mountain of the shrine." ”

After that, Sakai Tadaji turned around and ran towards the outside of the city, and Kamihara Yasumasa naturally did not dare to hesitate, and hurried to gather all the troops in the city, because he knew very well that now was the most dangerous time for Tokugawa Iehiko, and if Lucius knew Tokugawa Iehiko's whereabouts in advance, Tokugawa Iehiko would be very dangerous.
