Chapter 697: It's All Calculations

The little scholar's name is "Pei Tong", and he has been with Pei Yan for many years, originally Pei Tong was not surnamed "Pei", but because he entered Pei Yan's mansion since he was a child, he was loved by Pei Yan because of his intelligence, so he was later given the surname Pei by Pei Yan.

It can be said that Pei Tong is Pei Yan's closest and most trusted person, and it is precisely because of Pei Yan's trust in Pei Tong that after Pei Tong was bought by the descendant of the King of Red Hearts, he took advantage of Pei Yan's trust in Pei Tong and successfully used the method of stealing beams for pillars, making himself a popular person Pei Yan in front of the Holy Queen of the Tang Empire in Middle-earth.

After listening to Pei Tong's story, Lucius couldn't help but smile and said: "It's a little interesting, I didn't expect that the King of Hearts still has this ability, and he can actually split his soul and inject it into another body, so even if I take action to solve Pei Yan, I can't kill the King of Hearts." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xiusi looked at Pei Tong with some confusion and asked, "How do you know this? Could it be that you went to Pei Yan's side because it was also arranged by the King of Hearts?"

Pei Tong knew that he was in the hands of Lucius, even if he didn't tell the truth, the other party would have a way to get the information he wanted from his mouth.

So at this time, Pei Tong simply told Lucius everything in one go, and told Lucius what he knew and learned without reservation.

To Lucius's surprise, he didn't expect at all that although the empire of the Sand Sea civilization originally born by the King of Hearts had been buried by the desert, the descendants of those empires had not all died.

With the strong rise of the Middle-earth Empire, they sent a large number of descendants to infiltrate the Middle-earth Empire, on the one hand, to learn and learn from the profound civilization of Middle-earth, and on the other hand, they were also waiting for the return of the King of Hearts.

In the days when there was no King of Hearts, the surviving descendants of the Sand Sea Empire. It has gradually integrated into the whole East, and some of its descendants have even established a prosperous family history in Middle-earth.

Many descendants of the Sand Sea Empire have completely integrated into Middle-earth after a long wait, and no longer obey the call of the Sand Sea Empire, but let some people wait for the return of their king.

Pei Tong was born in such a family, and was trained as a scholar of the Tang Empire in Middle-earth since he was a child, and was later sent to the mansion of a high-ranking official of the Tang Empire along with other scholars.

And among these scholars, it can be said that only Pei Tong got the opportunity to successfully become a celebrity in front of the Holy Queen of the Tang Empire, and he was also the trust of Pei Yan, a high-ranking official of the Tang Empire. He was even given the surname Pei.

Originally, Pei Tong thought that he would not be enabled by the Sand Sea Empire, and would be by Pei Yan's side, like many people sent by the Sand Sea Empire, like an ordinary person, to stay in Pei Yan's mansion for a lifetime, and finally get married, have children, and die in Pei Yan's mansion, bringing the secrets of the Sand Sea Empire into his coffin.

But what Pei Tong didn't expect was that the king who had been waiting for thousands of years by the descendants of the Sand Sea Empire actually came back. And it directly awakened the empire that was sealed under the desert.

Receiving the call of the empire, Pei Tong had to abandon the original idea, obey the order of the king of the Shahai Empire, and help the king control Pei Yan. In the end, he succeeded in letting the soul of that king live in Pei Yan's body.

Although Pei Tong didn't want to do this, he was powerless to resist, as a descendant of the Sand Sea Empire, he would be watched by those terrible law enforcers of the Sand Sea Empire. If he dared, he could be killed by the enforcers at any moment, and his place would soon be taken by someone else.

Quietly listened to Pei Tong's statement. Lucius sighed with a somewhat solemn expression: "I really can't imagine that the Sand Sea Empire has been planning for so long, so speaking of which, the Sand Sea Empire should also have similar arrangements in the West, right?"

Hearing this, Pei Tong was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, but according to the conversations of some elders of the empire, it seems that the empire has similar arrangements in the west, but it seems that the conflict between sects in the west is more intense, unlike the east that can tolerate the convergence of many sects." ”

Hearing this, Lucius couldn't help but smile and said: "Sectarian conflict? Hehe, the West is actually dominated by the Magic Heavenly Kingdom, and the conflict between those so-called temples and the Holy See is just their internal contradictions, so it is more difficult for your Sand Sea Empire to penetrate into it, but the East is more tolerant and diverse." ”

Immediately afterwards, Lecius asked suspiciously: "By the way, do you know that the King of Hearts is in the Tang Empire in Middle-earth, and there are other people who divide the soul control zhì?"

Pei Tong shook his head, but said with certainty: "According to the Imperial Elder, it seems that the king's method of dividing the soul can only be divided once, and there should be no other people who are accused." ”

For Pei Tong's answer, Lucius didn't believe it in his heart, because he knew very well that those King of Hearts had always been good at calculation, and they had supreme wisdom since they had, so they counted everyone in the world, and even those who were loyal to them could not really understand their qiΔ“.

So although Pei Tong said that the other party could only divide the soul once, Lecius didn't believe it in his heart, he felt that with the temperament of the King of Hearts, he would inevitably have some reservations, and he would not tell anyone else.

And after the other party split the soul control zhì Pei Yan, he sent another person to pretend to be himself, which seemed to be to protect his own soul, but Lu Xius vaguely felt that it was more like deliberately covering people's eyes.

Because the Bai Meng who covers his face all day long seems to look very much like him, but in fact, from the process of several fights, Lucius can see that Bai Meng's calculation is not strong, especially when the two of them lose to themselves in several games, it is enough to see that Bai Meng is not good at calculation.

With such an obvious flaw, it's like deliberately telling others that there is only one one of their own souls, so they have to send a guy who pretends to be himself to make some countermeasures around him.

To put it more bluntly, the King of Hearts deliberately exposes the flaw so that the opponent will see through the flaw and smug to attack him, so that he can fight back with a backhand.

Thinking of this, Lucius vaguely guessed where the other party might be, and also understood why the other party would expose the little scholar to let himself find out.

Smiling and looking at Pei Tong, Lucius thought for a while and said: "It seems that everything is in his calculations, I'm afraid you are also deliberately exposing yourself, right?" Okay, I won't keep you anymore, go back and sue him, this game is considered to be his advantage, I won't go to him for the time being, but Fusang I will definitely not give it up." ”

After that, Lucius didn't look at Pei Tong at all, turned around and waved his hand to Scott, and the mechanical warrior Scott immediately stepped forward, and walked outside the shrine as soon as he lifted Pei Tong.

Pei Tong looked back at Lucius a few times in surprise, and it seemed that he had not eased up at all, and it was only after a long time that he was about to be carried out of the backyard by Scott, he was relieved, and the whole person instantly turned into smoke and disappeared into Scott's hands.

And a voice sounded over the shrine: "His Royal Highness Lucius is really powerful, and he can actually see through so many arrangements of the king, I will definitely bring your words to the king, but I also need to remind you that the king is also determined to win the entire Fusang, so the game between you and the king is not over yet." ”

Lucius grinned, glanced at Scott, who was returning empty-handed, and then said to the sky: "Go back and sue him, it is definitely not him who has the last laugh." ”

Pei Tong's voice came from the sky again, and the little scholar smiled slightly mockingly and said, "Hehe, I will also sue King SΓΉ for this self-confidence of His Royal Highness." ”

At this time, Mingtang walked to Lucius's side, looked at the smoke wafting out of the shrine, and asked with some puzzlement: "Why don't you leave that little scholar behind?" It seems that he should still know a lot of things, so if you let him go back like this, wouldn't it let the King of Hearts know that you already know some of his details?"

Lucius looked at Mingtang and shook his head and said, "Do you think that the King of Hearts will not know about the things he said? ”

Seeing that Mingtang was dumbfounded, Lucius continued: "Some information will be known sooner or later, so it's better to just sue us, but it's true or false, the more you know, the worse it is." ”

Mingtang came to his senses for a long time, thought about it and nodded, and said: "You're right, there are some things, the more you know, it's not necessarily a good thing, and since that little scholar was sent by the other party, everything he said may not be credible, but if you let him go like this, wouldn't it be cheaper for him?"

Lucius smiled strangely and whispered: "Actually, this is not a bad thing, if I am not mistaken, that little scholar is probably another soul of the King of Hearts, staying by my side? ”

Mingtang was really speechless, and suddenly felt that Lucius and the mysterious King of Hearts, both of whom were the kind of people who were full of calculations, could be said to have been fighting with each other all the time.

At the same time, the boy left the shrine and drifted down the mountain in a cloud of smoke, where he regained his body, and then he took a stride in the direction of Edo Castle.

When Pei Yan and Bai Meng saw the little scholar come back, Pei Yan couldn't help frowning and asked, "Could it be that Lucius has found out your identity?"

Pei Tong shook his head and said smugly: "Hehe, how could that guy find out my identity, he just thought that I was sent to him by you, deliberately said something to disturb his judgment, and was also worried that if I stayed by his side, he would steal his information from you, so he put me back." ”

As he spoke, the same smile appeared on Pei Tong and Pei Yan's faces, and the two of them almost said in unison: "It's just that he probably doesn't know, I'm actually a wisp of soul." ”

Bai Meng was already surprised by the strange scene of the two split souls speaking in unison, and he didn't pay attention to the two people's self-talk.

He pinched the wine cup in his hand, took a sip of the wine in the cup, and asked, "Then the two of us, what should we do next?" It seems that Kinoshita Hideyoshi has failed, and now he may not even be able to save his life. ”

Pei Yan and Pei Tong glanced at each other, and then still replied in unison: "So what? Don't we still have Oda Nobumitsu? As long as Oda Nobumitsu is now conquering six Tokugawa family-controlled cities in a row, and the army is about to conquer Edo City, what can Lucius do now? I am destined to be the winner in this game." (To be continued......)
