Chapter 307: Deciding on a Stand
Kenshin and Leiz "Knowing Lez's True Selection Group" "True Selection Group Boss Matsudaira Katakugi Tiger" Tokugawa Shigeru who was taken care of by Matsudaira, if the relevant information went through this channel, then there would be no problem, but the answer given by Tokugawa Shigeru was: "I, I believe in the friends I have known since childhood." β
"I'll treat you as a man who is the same on the outside, not as an acting talent." Liz sat down beside Kenshin and faced the general of Zhengyi, who had a straightforward gaze, "Blind trust and blind questioning are both manifestations of ignorance. The point of this sentence is not [trust] and [doubt], but [blindness], and I personally suggest that the general should send someone to secretly investigate that Fa Xiao and speak with intelligence. β
"But......" The upright general looked embarrassed, feeling that the moment he ordered the investigation of his friend, his faith had collapsed.
"Of course, it's your business whether to investigate or not, but whether or not to respond to your request just now is our business," Liz stretched out his hand and pressed Kenshin's head, which had been silent since just now, obviously struggling in his heart, "Even if we are idle and have great sentiments, we don't want to be caught by a third party when we are inextricably linked to Zhixiong's troops, right?" β
"A third party?" Kaoru Kamiya wondered.
ββ¦β¦ For example, the Heavenly Dao Beings. Wang Yuanji gave the answer, she has always been shrewd when it comes to military and political issues.
The strength from his hand, sensing that Kenshin seemed to be deflated, Lez withdrew his hand, "Although I don't know much about the history of this planet, I don't know if the former shogunate was wronged to survive in order to preserve a glimmer of life for the earthlings, or simply to trap his compatriots for his own interests, but the defeat of the earthlings in the war is an indisputable thing, and the real ruler of this country can only be the Heavenly Dao people." β
It is still understandable that the Heavenly Dao people only choose to establish a puppet regime instead of establishing a pure colony, and the negative textbook can refer to the Holy Britarian Empire in "Lelouch World...... Of course, there may be a better way to profit from the defeated countries perfectly, but this is not a political and historical textbook, and it does not involve such in-depth academic issues.
"Whether Zhi Zhixiong's real power is so threatening, and whether it can only be solved by Kenshin's action, let's not mention it for the time being," Liz shook his head, he had only heard this name for the first time today, and he couldn't assert it, "But the monarch of the puppet regime, suddenly learned the information of Zhi Zhixiong's truth, Scarlet Village Kenshin and me from the deliberately created song and dance promotion, how can I think about it, I can't help but think to the real rulers of this planet, only they can wantonly manipulate your surroundings, Shogun, right?" β
"Hey, Liz! There's no need to say that! Kaoru said anxiously. Although she didn't have even a trace of respect for Tokugawa Shigeru, she still knew that the other party was a great person.
"No...... Miss Kamiya, Captain Leeds is right," Tokugawa Shigeru didn't get angry about this, but just looked a little lonely, "Since a long time ago, I knew that the shogunate was the puppet regime of the Celestial Daoists, and I was an unqualified puppet in the eyes of the Celestial Daoists, and I could only be taken care of by my uncle, and I knew that I was still a puppet manipulated by the puppets. β
The shogun during the war was Tokugawa Dingding, and he was indeed a rotten person, but he had nothing to say to his nephew Tokugawa Shigeru and niece Princess Suiya, and he also promoted Tokugawa Shigeru to the position of general when he was old - even if he still loved power and didn't let go, but that power was originally his, and it couldn't constitute criticism.
"I know that I am a puppet, and I can barely be saved, but I can't detect Fa Xiao's abnormal actions, and I still cling to my naΓ―ve ideals after others make suggestions, which is the level of a faint king." Liz is unforgiving.
"What...... Am I not qualified to stand above all men......? Tokugawa Shigeru, who aspired to become a wise man, leaned forward and propped his hands on the tatami mats, frustrated.
"The ignorant monarch is not worth following from the beginning, nothing is done, and in the end everyone goes to hell together." Liz spread her hands.
"Woo......" The general's body shook twice.
Kenshin of the Scarlet Village next to him shook his head and smiled: "Liz, enough is enough." It seemed that he also saw that Liz spoke so mercilessly, because he was aware of Tokugawa Shigeru's kind personality and had other ideas.
"Yes, yes~" Liz didn't think about hitting Tokugawa Shigeru to the death, and closed it when he saw it, "General, I actually have one of the worst guesses, do you want to hear it?" β
βοΌβ Shigeru Tokugawa looked up, tears already rolling in his eyes, but he didn't let them fall.
"Zhi Zhixiong really has a group of powerful masters, and he is a master of assassination, but the general you don't even have a reliable master by your side," Liz paused for three seconds, giving the other party a moment to react, "If you personally invite Kenshin to crusade against them, General Zhi Zhixiong will definitely send someone to assassinate you as a counterattack, how much hope do you think you have for survival?" β
"I'm not afraid of that! How can the evil party that attempts to split the country be abolished because of the safety of one's own life! The general said solemnly, and the frustration just now had quietly disappeared.
"That's right, but if it's in someone else's plan, don't you have anything else in mind?" Liz had already given Tokugawa Shigeru a thumbs up in his heart, but there was still no change on the surface, "Besides, as long as a conflict breaks out between you and Shigao's real group, your death can be blamed on them - no matter who actually carried out the assassination." β
"Captain Leeds, what do you mean ......!?" A chill welled up in the general's heart.
"I don't mean anything, I know too little about this planet, everything is just speculation," Liz stood up and thumped his thigh, "Intelligence is a good thing, it needs to peek through the conspiracy and make the right decision, wait until I send my little brother to investigate~"
"Intelligence ......," Tokugawa Shigeru muttered, as if he had some kind of understanding.
"Then again, I'm just a celestial, and in the eyes of the earthlings, I'm no different from the heavenly people, I can't find a reason to work hard for you, Lord General~" Liz beckoned his harem to get up, opened the sliding door, and walked out of the living room together...... Finally, a voice came from afar, "However, I think you are quite pleasing to the eye, and you are in great trouble when you encounter a life-and-death problem, and at the same time you firmly believe that you are standing on the moral high ground and can come to me." β
"Captain Leeds!" It was clear that he had rejected his initial request, but Tokugawa Shigeru was now moved in his heart.
According to Liz's guess, the potential enemy is the 'Heavenly Dao Crowd', and Liz's statement is in disguise that he agrees to confront the largest organization in the universe.
Kenshin smiled, he finally didn't have to worry about teaching the Flying Sword Stream footwork to the wrong person, and now that Liz had revealed his position, only he was missing, "Lord General, I don't want to give up my decision to maintain it since the end of the war, and I can't go to crusade against Shishio's real gang for the time being, but...... If the general needs a back-edged knife in his hand, he is willing to protect the general for a long time. β
