Lucius stayed in the shrine, looking a little leisurely, most of the things were done, but he seemed to have nothing to do, he could only sit in the side room of the shrine, saying that he was sitting in the rear and strategizing, but in fact there was nothing to do, so he could only sit there alone and doze off.

Now that the situation has become much clearer, the rest of the matter will be much easier to bypass the eyes and ears of Edo Castle, where the Tokugawa family is located, and now we only have to wait for news from Oda Nobumitsu and Taiyuan Yukisai.

At the same time, under the signal of Lucius, Takeda Koji secretly revealed his intention to attack Edo Castle, which could be regarded as a smoke bomb for the Tokugawa family, so that the Tokugawa family would not know the movements of other daimyo in advance.

It was precisely because of this strategy of Lucius that Tokugawa Iehiko could not get the exact news, and the suspicious and suspicious did not dare to send a large army to dispatch, so he could only choose to let Iga Naru lead the ninja to dispatch, and secretly come to Chiba to test it and see what kind of strength the Takeda family has?

Just when Lucius was dozing off and almost about to sleep, suddenly the door of the house was opened, and the sleepy-eyed Lecius looked up and saw the shadow flashing into the room quickly.

Sitting casually on the ground, Shadow grabbed the food on the table in front of Lucius, and took a big bite of it, until he was satisfied with his meal, he burped and said, "Hiccup, I just received the news that the Tokugawa family seems to have made a move, and it is said that a group of ninjas have quietly left Edo Castle." ”

"Ninjas, the same guy you've been fighting with for a long time? Aren't those guys very good at stealth? How did you find them?"

Shadow waved his hand and said disdainfully: "Even such a little trick can hide it from me?" Hmph, I easily found out their whereabouts, it seems that they are following the order, and the destination should be the Takeda family in Chiba City. ”

Hearing this, Lucius immediately jumped up, almost startled the shadow, and it took a long time for the shadow to come to his senses, and he looked at Lucius with some puzzlement and asked, "Hey, hey." I said, what are you doing, even if the other party wants to attack Chiba Castle and disadvantage the Takeda family, you don't have to be so excited, right?"

Lucius rubbed his hands and moved his muscles a few times and said, "You don't know, I've been bored and panicked when I stay here for the past few days, and now I can finally go out to exercise, how can I not be excited?"

Shadow looked at Lucius in some confusion and asked strangely, "You said you were going out to exercise? What do you mean by that? Are you going to Chiba Castle in person? Wait for those ninjas to come to the door? Don't you think it's crazy to do this? Moreover, those ninjas are very good at hiding and assassinating. ”

Lucius was even more excited when he heard this: "Hehe, that's interesting, I just want to see it." What kind of strength do the ninjas of Fuso possess? ”

"You are really a madman, it is said that the ninjas of Fuso country know a lot of so-called ninjutsu, and some of those ninjutsu are like witchcraft, but some of them are like magic, in short, it looks strange. ”

Speaking of this, Ying stared at Lucius solemnly and said, "Are you sure, you really want to see and see?" If you leave, who will be in charge of us all?"

The next moment, Lucius smiled and gave Ying a punch: "You don't stumble me here, so many days." Have any of you listened to me? Hmph, I'm not going to stay here and wait, I'm going to show my skills. ”

Knowing that Lucius had made up his mind, and knowing that the other party had sent a group of ninjas. Lucius's curiosity has been hooked, and now I'm afraid that even if Du Liniang comes back, it will be impossible to persuade Lucius. Shadow sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, who made you His Highness Lucius?"

Shirou came back from outside, and was just about to walk towards Lucius's side house, but was stopped by Asukina, and regardless of whether Shirou was happy or not, Assuna insisted on pulling Shirou into the main house of the shrine.

Seeing Sakurakura Rinko sitting in the main room, Shirou could only kneel down and bow, but greeted with cold words: "Meet the Emperor Xià, I don't know what His Majesty commands?"

Sakura Rinko looked at Assuna with some confusion, and the latter quickly patted Shirou and said, "What are you doing? How can you speak in such a tone when you see Your Majesty? Look at you, what has happened to you now with that Lucius? Hmph, have you forgotten even the most basic etiquette?"

Sakura Rinko stopped Asukina with a smile, and then said to Shirou, "Shirou, actually, I didn't have anything else to do with you, I just wanted you to ask Lucius, can I talk to him?"

Shirou raised his head and looked at Sakura Rinko suspiciously, then lowered his head and replied: "If you want to see Brother Lucius, you can go to him yourself, you don't need to go through me, I just follow my brother, and I don't participate in many things." ”

can clearly feel Shirou's rejection of herself, Sakura Rinko knows very well what happened before Shirou is still angry, and she can't help but feel a little helpless.

After thinking for a moment, he could only speak: "Shirou, I'm sorry for the previous incident in the village, I now know that I made a mistake at that time, I just want to ask for your forgiveness." ”

Hearing this, Shirou raised his head again, saw Sakura Rinko's sincere face, and looked at his sister next to him, Assuna also nodded sincerely, indicating that Sakura Rinko had really realized the mistake she had made before, Shirou's heart suddenly softened, but after thinking about it, he still said: "But I really rarely express my opinion in front of Brother Lucius." ”

As soon as Shirou's tone softened, Sakura Rinko hurriedly said: "No, it doesn't matter, you just need to tell His Highness Sù Lucius, I want to meet him, ask him to forgive me, allow me to meet my subordinates, they are actually not wrong, they are loyal to me, but the method is a little inappropriate." ”

Hearing that Sakura Rinko was going to see her subordinates, Shirou looked at her, then at Asukina, and finally said with some helplessness: "Emperor Imagami, in fact, I want to tell you that the middle minister Kamakazu is not really loyal to you, and now they are secretly plotting to stand on their own feet elsewhere." ”

"What? this, how is this possible? He is the most loyal to me, and he was the one who prepared the ship for me in the first place, how could he, how could he betray me?"

Sakura Rinko obviously didn't believe Shirou's words, because in her opinion, Nakatomi Kamazu was the most unlikely person to betray her, you must know that when she was down, Nakatomi Kamazu can be said to have risked her life to help her escape from the pursuit of the Tokugawa family, and helped her escape to the sea.

Seeing that Sakura Rinko was a little excited, Asukina hurriedly scolded Shirou: "You, what nonsense are you talking about? It is impossible for Lord Nakatomi to betray His Majesty." ”

Shirou sighed helplessly: "Sister, you are so naïve, just like Brother Lucius said, everyone has their own ambitions, and in the face of power and money, any loyalty is not worth mentioning." ”

Seeing that the two people still didn't seem to believe it, Shirou simply told what he had learned: "You probably don't know that Nakatomi Kamazu has been secretly contacting the ninjas around Guò with the outside world in the past few days, and it should be with that Kinoshita Hideyoshi, who is secretly plotting to stand on their own feet somewhere and leave you to Brother Lucius." ”

"And in just a few days, that Kinoshita Hideyoshi will send someone to quietly take away Nakazumi Kamazu, as for you, I'm afraid you will be directly abandoned here. ”

Shirou's news was like a bolt from the blue, completely shattering Sakura's beautiful dreams for the future, and it can be said that the real reality was displayed in front of Sakura Rinko.

And Shirou didn't stop, but continued: "Moreover, I'm afraid you don't know, that Zhongchen Kamazu actually has a group of dead soldiers, all of whom are very powerful ninjas, even now, without the infinite sword domain enchantment given to me by Brother Lucius, it is a little difficult to defeat those people." ”

The successive messages have shocked Sakura Rinko and Asuka, and the two of them are almost stunned, completely unresponsive to any news.

At this moment, the door of the house was pulled open from the outside, and Lucius and Kazuki walked in slowly, seeing Sakura Rinko with a blank face, as well as Shirou and Asukina kneeling in the room.

Lucius sighed helplessly: "Actually, some things are not as simple as you think, maybe those guys who seem to be loyal to you are actually ambitious conspirators, he is loyal to you, but he just wants to gain benefits from you." ”

Hearing this, Sakura Rinko raised her head, looked at Lucius and said with some reluctance: "But, but I don't have anything now, he, why are they still ......?"

Without waiting for Sakura Rinko to finish speaking, Lucius shook his head: "There is no reason, for them, even if you are nothing, but you are still the emperor, with the title of emperor, you have the value of use, they just want to use your name to gain the support of some scattered samurai and establish their own power." ”

Hearing this, Sakura Rinko thought about it carefully, connected some things before and after, and finally understood that what Lucius said was not alarmist, but the real situation.

Sakura Rinko fell into painful thought, looked at Lucius and asked, "I, what should I do? What should I do now? Who else can I trust?"

Seeing Sakura Rinko's almost collapsed appearance, Lucius said helplessly: "You still have a chance, follow me, I will help you, help you become the emperor again, let you regain those things that belong to you, and let Fuso restore the rule of imperial power, but you must promise me to be kind to your people." ”

Sakura Rinko looked at Lucius in confusion, a little puzzled by what Lucius meant, why did the last request be to be kind to the people?

As for Sakura Rinko's confused face, Lucius smiled and said, "Don't you understand? Then look at Asukina and Shirou, what kind of life would they have lived if they hadn't met us? Maybe their village would have been destroyed by Oda Nobumitsu and them." (To be continued......)
