Pei Yan and Zhuge Mo led the southern army and quickly advanced towards Edo Castle, and because the emperor deliberately detained Tokugawa Iehiko and others in Kyoto, the army encountered almost no resistance along the way.

Early in the morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone on the highest tower of Edo Castle, a large army quickly attacked from the southwest of Edo Castle, and almost in an instant, the entire Edo Castle was encircled, and when the people in the castle came to their senses, they had time to close the gates.

Furious at the sight of the closed gates, Pavaro hurried almost all day and night without delay, but in the end he could not enter the city directly.

Zhuge Mo saw that Pavaro was a little annoyed, so he opened his mouth to comfort: "Anyway, this city is already in our pocket, we only need to surround the whole city, and it is only a matter of time before we capture it." ”

Pavaro shook his head and said, "No, Zhuge Mo, you are mistaken, do you really think that they only remembered to close the city gate after seeing us coming? Hmph, the fact that they were able to close the city gate in such a short time shows that they were prepared. ”

As soon as Pavaro's words fell, he saw the figure of Lucius appear on the city tower, and Lucius and Li Wuchen stood on the city tower, looking down on the army below.

Lu Xiusi smiled and asked Li Wuchen: "Brother Li, what do you want to say to your courtiers below?

Li Wuchen knew that Lucius was deliberately making fun of him, but he was still unwilling, and felt that he should be able to deter Pavaro and Zhuge Mo.

So he stood on the castle tower, looked down at the loud voice below, and said, "Pei Yan and Zhuge Mo, what are your intentions in leading a large army to Edo Castle? Don't you know that King Gu has already reached an agreement with His Highness Lucius? Now we will not interfere in the war of Fuso. ”

Pavaro raised his head and looked at Li Wuchen on the city tower, smiled and saluted Li Wuchen, and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Linzi County, I really didn't expect that we would meet in this foreign country. ”

Hearing Pavaro call himself "King of Linzi County" below. Li Wuchen felt that since the other party could admit his identity, he might not directly tear his face with him.

So Li Wuchen immediately said: "Pei Aiqing, in fact, you are a loyal minister of my Tang Dynasty, I believe that you are loyal and patriotic, and you should understand what King Gu means, so you immediately lead the army outside the city to retreat now, and King Gu will report to the two saints, and will not let the two saints blame you." ”

Hearing this, Pavaro couldn't help but smile and shook his head, looked up at the city tower and shouted, "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's no longer possible now." I brought this army with me, but I am not their commander. ”

As soon as Pavaro's words fell, a general of Fuso stepped forward, and Pavaro pointed to the general and continued: "You see, this is the commander of this army, and the purpose of their visit is Edo Castle. ”

Li Wuchen didn't expect that Pavaro would actually respond to him like this. And also launched a Fuso daimyo who was obviously a puppet.

Nominally, he showed that he was powerless, but in fact, when he did this, he was undoubtedly directly slapping Li Wuchen in the face, just like directly showing Li Wuchen. You, the prince, can't stop me now.

Li Wuchen's expression was uncertain, and he didn't know what else he could say at this moment, in this situation?

Lucius saw his predicament. He stood up with a smile and said, "Hehe, Brother Li, they already have a heart of disobedience. Besides, don't you have a saying in Middle-earth that you will not be subject to the orders of the kings outside? ”

Li Wuchen also knew that he couldn't control Pei Yan, but he was still a little unwilling, and finally said: "Pei Yan, you remember, if King Gu can return to the Tang Dynasty, he will definitely want the second sage to explain what you have done." ”

"Hahaha......" Pavaro laughed wildly when he heard this, "Okay, very good, I can't imagine that the prince still wants to kill me? In this case, I don't have to hide anything from you, and I'm afraid you won't be able to go back to the Tang Dynasty, because you will be killed by the Fuso people in the war of Fuso." ”

Hearing the other party's naked threat, Li Wuchen's whole face turned green, and he stared at Pavaro and said in a cold voice: "Okay, very good, Pei Yan, you will regret it." ”

"Brother Li, treating this kind of despicable villain, your set is useless, only use absolute strength to let him see that you are stronger than him, and defeat him directly head-on, at that time, he will naturally bow to you, and even kneel down and beg you. ”

Listening to Lucius's words, Pavaro, who was outside the city below, suddenly looked ugly, and said with a sneer: "Hehe, Lucius, do you think you can still win this time? You are now a turtle in an urn, and you still want to defeat me? It's just a dream." ”

Lucius didn't have the slightest annoyance at Pavaro's cold words, he still maintained a calm state, and responded with a smile: "Pavaro, in fact, your identity has been exposed, so why do you have to pretend to be Pei Yan and put on a loyal and patriotic face?"

Pointing to Li Wuchen beside him, Lu Xiusi continued: "Look, now the prince of the Tang Dynasty is by my side, but you really want to kill the prince directly, so you still tear off the hypocrisy and want to attack the city, then come on, I'm not afraid of you." ”

Pavaro was directly revealed by Lucius, his expression suddenly became hideous, and he said with a cruel smile: "Hehe, since you already know my identity, then I don't have to hide anything, let's start the siege." ”

At Pavaro's command, Zhuge Mo waved his hand to drive out the Trap Beast, allowing the Trap Beast to clear the way ahead, and Fuso's soldiers followed closely behind, rushing straight to the gate of Edo Castle.

Since they had come prepared, they had already arranged the method and process of attacking the castle, with the Trap Beast as the front force directly attacking the city walls, and the samurai of Fuso leading a large army to attack the castle gate from the front, trying to break through Edo Castle in a two-pronged manner.

Standing on the city tower, watching those trap beasts pounce fiercely on the city wall, using their claws to hang on the city wall, and quickly climbing towards the city wall, Li Wuchen couldn't help but start to be a little worried.

Looking at Lucius, who was still enjoying himself around him, he said: "Lucius, what are you going to do with these trap beasts, have you prepared mechanical beasts to fight again? If they are allowed to rush directly to the city tower, we may not be able to resist it, and then they will be able to attack the city by the way." ”

Lucius replied disappreciatively, "What are you afraid of, even if they can climb the walls? ”

Obviously, in Lucius's eyes, this group of trap beasts would not pose a threat to him, and his self-confidence made Li Wuchen feel very incredible.

In Li Wuchen's opinion, now that Lucius has no mechanical beasts in his hands, you must know that the previous mechanical beasts had been brought to Kyoto when Tokugawa and the people left, and since this time, Lucius has hardly used any mechanical beasts.

This shows that there are no mechanical beasts around Lucius, and Li Wuchen feels that if there are no mechanical beasts, I am afraid that Lucius will definitely not be able to defeat those mechanical beasts.

The trap beast climbed up quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a trap beast climbed up the city wall and pounced on Lu Xiusi and Li Wuchen who were standing at the front of the tower.

Seeing that the trap beasts had rushed in front of him, Li Wuchen reluctantly pulled out his sword and opened a stance with the two beside him, preparing to face the group of trap beasts in front of him.

Shuang'er even complained disdainfully: "Hmph, let you talk big? Now that the trap beasts have attacked, I want to see how you deal with them? In the end, we still need to do it ourselves, so many trap beasts, do you think we can destroy them all?"

Lucius stood motionless, as if he hadn't heard Shuang'er's complaints, and had turned a blind eye to the trap beasts that had rushed in front of him, just staring at Pavaro outside the city.

Seeing that the three of them were in a daze on the city tower, Zhuge Mo was very decisive and ordered to attack, so that those trap beasts would attack directly at Lucius.

There was no hesitation in the attack of the Trap Beasts, most of them did not have any self-awareness, and would only completely obey the orders of Zhuge Mo, who controlled them.

In the case that Zhuge Mo had already given the order, the Organ Beast would naturally not refuse Zhuge Mo's order because of Li Wuchen's identity.

The first trap beast jumped up directly and pounced on Li Wuchen, who was standing relatively high, it seemed that the trap beast was going to attack Li Wuchen first, and although the other trap beasts also pounced at the same time, they were a little farther away from Li Wuchen.

Seeing a trap beast pounce directly on him, Li Wuchen waved the sword in his hand with some annoyance, and a magnificent sword qi burst out, instantly slashing at the body of the trap beast, and then the sword qi spread out, turning into a small sword and piercing into the body of the trap beast.

Although the body of the Trap Beast had been specially manufactured, in the face of Li Wuchen's sword qi, the Trap Beast's body was still like a piece of tofu, and it was directly cut open.

It's just that Li Wuchen didn't know the core of the trap beast, and although half of the trap beast's body was blown apart, it still couldn't make the trap beast incapacitate, and continued to pounce towards Li Wuchen.

Seeing that his sword qi was not able to stop the trap beast, facing the trap beast that pounced on him, Li Wuchen also looked a little overwhelmed, and his momentary stunned mind had already put himself in a dangerous situation.

Seeing that the trap beast had almost pounced in front of him, Shuang'er suddenly danced the sword in his hand and rushed out, using the blade in his hand to stab the trap beast directly, and through the gap that had been broken by Li Wuchen, the blade of the sword pierced into the trap beast's body, stabbing a trap in the trap beast's chest.

Then, the trap beast lost its momentum and fell directly from mid-air to the city tower, lying motionless in front of Li Wuchen. (To be continued......)
