Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

Tojo Senichi, however, remained calm at this moment.

"Don't worry, I didn't say I don't believe you... So, do you know who took you away, what they said to you after they took you away?"

The fake Xiao Ce shook his head: "I don't know either?"

Seeing that the fake Xiao Ce was unwilling to speak, Tojo Senichi looked at him and then said, "Do you not know, or do you simply not want to tell me...?"

Before the fake Xiao Ce could speak, Tojo Senichi continued his intimidation, "To be honest, in the entire Sulu Kingdom, I'm probably the only one who will believe your words... In other words, only I can save you... If you don't confess with me, I really can't save you..."

As she spoke, Tojo Chihiro stood up.

"I really don't know anything. They drugged me and made me unconscious. When I woke up, there were people wearing masks looking me over... Then they said some things I couldn't understand, and finally asked me in the Japanese language who I was..."

As he spoke, the fake Xiao Ce suddenly realized something and his eyes widened: "That's right! They seem to know I'm fake... They seemed to be asking who I am? Who made me do this...?"

As if grasping at a straw, the fake Xiao Ce said to Tojo Senichi, "Young Master Senichi, if you just find the person who captured me... they'll definitely know I'm an imposter... the real one..."

Tojo Senichi's gaze sharpened immediately upon hearing this: "Are you sure?"

The fake Xiao Ce said to Tojo Senichi, "Really... I'm sure. By the way... this Xiao Ce is from the Xiao Kingdom... he must speak the Xiao language, right? I can't... not only can't I speak it... I can't even understand it?"

Upon hearing the fake Xiao Ce's words, Tojo Senichi instinctively said, "Really? I don't believe it..."

He was speaking in the language of Xiao.

When Tojo Senichi said this, he kept his eyes fixed on the fake Xiao Ce.

If the fake Xiao Ce were real, there would definitely be a reaction.

However, the fake Xiao Ce acted very naturally, his reaction being that he didn't know.

In fact, Tojo Senichi already had a general idea of ​​what was going on in her mind.

Tojo Senichi then got up to leave.

The fake Xiao Ce, seeing Tojo Senichi about to leave, almost burst into tears: "Young Master Senichi, please speak slowly, I didn't understand... Please say it again... What did you mean..."

Tojo Senichi smiled slightly at the fake Xiao Ce: "Wait a minute, I believe you... I'll help you think of a way now."

As soon as the fake Xiao Ce spoke, he reflexively kowtowed to Tojo Senichi.

Upon seeing his appearance, Tojo Senji knew exactly what he was thinking and made some connections in his mind.

After all, a person's appearance can be the same, and behavior can be acted out, but subconscious reactions cannot be faked...

Tojo Seisuke originally intended to rest, but a group of Tojo retainers came looking for him.

He had no choice but to deal with it, and then he saw Tojo Senichi coming over.

"Chihiro's here. I happened to have something to discuss with you." Tojo Seisuke said, glancing at his retainers. "I know your concerns. I have some important matters to discuss with Chihiro..."

Only then did these retainers leave.

Tojo Senichi smiled and said to Tojo Seisuke, "Father, why are you using me as a shield?"

Tojo Seisuke smiled helplessly: "Those people, you can't reason with them, and you can't really argue with them... Is it really that difficult? What, how do you know I don't have anything to ask you?"

Tojo Senichi smiled faintly: "Because you just said you were going to rest, and besides, we don't have much to talk about when we're together."

Tojo Seisuke smiled and nodded: "I didn't come to you for anything, but I can tell you did."

Tojo Senichi smiled: "Father, as expected, nothing escapes your discerning eyes..."

Tojo Seisuke then gestured for Tojo Senichi to sit down: "What's wrong?"

Senichi Tojo said to Seisuke Tojo, "Father, I'm almost certain that person is a fake..."

Tojo Seisuke knew Tojo Senichi's personality; he wouldn't have said that unless he was absolutely certain.

"Oh?"

Tojo Senichi recounted what had just happened, and then asked, "Father, do you know which faction of the Illuminati captured this fake Xiao Ce?"

Tojo Seisuke shook his head: "How could I possibly know that?"

Tojo Senichi continued, "Do you know which of their factions are represented by women?"

Tojo Seisuke shook his head: "That's quite a lot... You mean, the people in the Illuminati want Xiao Ce to die once they find out he's a fake... because only after he's dead will people feel at ease and be done with it?"

Tojo Sen nodded.

After listening to Tojo Senichi's words, Tojo Seisuke smiled and said, "Your analysis makes a lot of sense... but is it possible that what you think... is what Xiao Ce made you think?"

After hearing Tojo Seisuke's words, Tojo Senichi stood there stunned: "What do you mean? Father, you mean... he deliberately put on an act for me?"

Tojo Seisuke nodded: "That's right, you can't judge him by common sense. How could Xiao Ce, who rose from a deposed crown prince to become the overlord of their Xiao Kingdom, be so simple? This time he really did capsize in a ditch... So, he will definitely do anything to survive... You heard him recount that, right? Did you see it? Are you sure the Illuminati really did that?"

Tojo Seisuke's probing questions left Tojo Senichi speechless.

Tojo Seisuke said, "Senichi, actually, whether he's real or fake is none of our business... Why should we get involved in this mess? It's like having a tall person hold up the sky if it falls. If the people above say he's real, then he's real... If he's fake, it doesn't matter to us either..."

"What we're considering now is how to leverage this opportunity to strengthen ourselves and maximize our benefits. You should understand that, right?"

After hearing Tojo Seisuke's words, Tojo Senichi suddenly understood.

"So, Father, you mean we shouldn't get involved with this person...and these things?"

Tojo Seisuke nodded: "That's right...because I think there are many other things we need to worry about...not just this. Why bother worrying about something like this!"

Tojo Senichi nodded first, then shook his head, and said to Tojo Seisuke, "Father, you are right and wrong... Even if we don't take any action... we need to know in our hearts whether this person is really dead or faking it. We are going to Xiao Kingdom... Whether Xiao Ce is alive or dead... is of vital interest to us."

"This is similar to how our Fusang Kingdom suffered a crushing defeat this time, precisely because we underestimated our enemy..."

After listening to Tojo Senichi's words, Tojo Seisuke remained silent for a moment before saying, "What you say makes sense... Senichi, then you should investigate this thoroughly... but remember to do it secretly."

"Even if you obtain any useful or definitive information, you don't need to relay it to others in Japan..."

Upon hearing this, Tojo Senichi smiled at Tojo Seisuke and said, "Father, I understand..."

Tojo Seisuke said, "If you're in danger, don't investigate... Just pretend he's alive, and that thing is fake... We'll just stay vigilant."

After hearing Tojo Seisuke's words, Tojo Senichi smiled slightly and nodded: "Okay... I understand!"

...

After exchanging a few pleasantries, they went to rest.

Meanwhile, the real Xiao Ce was at sea, practically half-dead from the ordeal, but fortunately, there was some good news.

That means we should be able to arrive around dawn the next day.

When you get closer to the coast, the waves are no longer turbulent.

The dizziness subsided considerably, and it wasn't until the next day, after the sun had risen above the sea, that the dizziness subsided.

The ship also docked at the port of Sulu.

With the help of others, Xiao Ce finally felt the reality of his situation after his feet touched solid ground.

"I'm alive..."

After Xiao Ce sighed, Okamoto Juzo said to him, "Okamoto Kazusa, I didn't expect your seasickness to be so severe..."

Xiao Ce bowed deeply to Okamoto Juzo to express his gratitude: "Thank you so much for your care along the way, Lord. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made it this far alive..."

Okamoto Juzo smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You came with me, so according to you, it's me who has wronged you?"

Xiao Ce adopted a humble expression: "I wouldn't dare... I wouldn't dare..."

Just as they were exchanging pleasantries, a carriage caravan approached.

Okamoto Juzo said to them, "It should be Okamoto Juzo who has arrived."

Xiao Ce and his group quickly stood behind Okamoto Juzo, looking at the team flag, which was the same as the flag on the Okamoto family ship on the boat.

A short while later, Okamoto's convoy arrived.

Their procession was quite grand, with a convoy of over a thousand people following behind the motorcade.

Xiao Ce watched from the side as a man who resembled Okamoto Juzo, but was clearly younger and much more shrewd, came down.

They really do look alike, no wonder they're brothers...

After looking at Okamoto Juzo, Okamoto Juzo took three quick steps forward and gave him a big hug.

"Brother, you must be tired from your journey."

Okamoto Juzo smiled faintly: "It's alright...it's alright. It's you who's been under a lot of pressure here, isn't it?"

Okamoto Juro waved his hand: "There's not much pressure... After all, what you've done is quite good."

Before Okamoto Juzo could answer, Okamoto Juzo asked him, "Brother, why are you only bringing so few people? Aren't you afraid of being attacked? Things have been quite unsettled lately."

Okamoto Juzo waved his hand and said, "Having more people won't help..."

As he spoke, Okamoto Juzo said with a hint of smugness, "Besides, the guys I brought are all top talents... If your group of over a thousand people fought against the few people I brought, they might not even be able to win..."

After hearing what Okamoto Jūzō said, Okamoto Jūzō smiled, his expression clearly showing disbelief, but he didn't refute it.

Okamoto Juzo naturally noticed the doubt in Okamoto Juro's eyes and quickly asked, "What, you don't believe me? How about we have a contest..."

Seeing this, Okamoto Juro laughed and said, "My dear brother, what's the big deal... I believe you... I believe you... Besides, I didn't come here to challenge you."

As Okamoto Juzo spoke, he waved to Night Cat, Xiao Ce, and Da Lei.

"Sixteen, let me introduce you to my three most capable generals..."

"Okamoto's one night, Okamoto's one strategy, Okamoto's one thunderbolt..."

Then Okamoto Juzo began introducing the three people, praising them to the skies...

All three of them bowed in unison, following Okamoto Juro's lead.

Okamoto Juro didn't seem to care about the three people; he had other urgent business to attend to. Since they were introduced by his older brother, he felt awkward ignoring them.

After exchanging greetings, Okamoto Juro said, "Big brother, I have something to tell you... Let's get in the car first."

Okamoto Juzo listened and nodded, then said, "That's right... I also have something to tell you... Let's get in the car first."

As he spoke, Okamoto Juzo beckoned to Xiao Ce and said, "Yi Ce, come here."

Seeing this, Okamoto Juroku said, "Brother, what I'm about to say is of great importance."

Okamoto Juzo said, "Juzo, don't worry. I absolutely trust this person... and he's part of my think tank!"

Since Okamoto Juzo had already said so much, he stopped wasting words, glanced at Xiao Ce, and said, "Then you should come up too."

As he spoke, Okamoto Juzo had Da Lei and Night Cat follow in the carriage behind him. At first, Night Cat and Da Lei were a little worried, but Xiao Ce stopped them with a look, and they didn't say anything more.

Just then, after getting on the bus...

Okamoto Juzo said to Okamoto Juroku, "You look so anxious, is something wrong?"

Okamoto Juro subconsciously glanced at Xiao Ce.

Okamoto Juzo smiled and said, "Don't worry about it, it's nothing... Would I let someone I don't trust come here?"

Okamoto Juroku nodded, then said, "We'll go see the Emperor now. The Tojo and Tokugawa families will all be there..."

"What, are you trying to force me to redistribute Sulu?" Okamoto Juzo straightened his body and then spoke.

Okamoto Juroku said, "That's right... After all, it was agreed upon back then."

Okamoto Juzo nodded: "So what do you mean? What are your thoughts?"

Okamoto Juroku gave an awkward smile: "Big brother will definitely listen to you."
