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

Looking at Okamoto Juzo's expression, Xiao Ce practically rolled his eyes to the heavens.

However, he didn't care at all; his original intention was to get close to Yin Pan'er.

Yin Pan'er then noticed Xiao Ce behind Okamoto Juzo, seemingly sizing him up.

At this moment, Okamoto Juzo smiled awkwardly at Xiao Ce, seemingly expressing an apologetic expression.

Xiao Ce scoffed at Okamoto Juzo's act of betraying him so quickly.

However, he naturally wore an indifferent expression on his face.

Yin Pan'er looked at Xiao Ce: "Did you come up with this idea?"

Xiao Ce nodded, and then nodded to Yin Pan'er.

Yin Pan'er continued, "How did you come up with this idea?"

Xiao Ce's reply was also quite skillful: "I just thought about it and came up with it. What do you think, my lord?"

Xiao Ce's writing may seem like nonsense, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with what he said.

Yin Pan'er nodded and said to Xiao Ce, "That's right, your idea is very good. If it can get him to talk, I won't forget your contribution. I will definitely reward you handsomely."

Xiao Ce naturally wouldn't accept the credit rashly, and said to Yin Pan'er, "This is all the will of our lord, and it doesn't really have much to do with me personally."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er's expression showed even more admiration for him.

"Okay! Alright, then you guys go ahead and get busy."

Tojo Seisuke asked Yin Pan'er with a respectful expression, "Representative, do you live here?"

Yin Pan'er nodded and said to Tojo Seisuke, "That's right, arrange a place for me."

Tojo Seisuke first respectfully agreed, then asked Yin Pan'er with a slightly embarrassed expression, "Representative... should we call you Representative or Acting Representative now?"

When Yin Pan'er heard Tojo Seisuke say this, she knew that Tokugawa Heiyasu had followed his lead.

Yin Pan'er said, "There is no difference. However, I am now acting as an agent."

Tojo Seisuke nodded as he listened, and then, understanding the unspoken message, said to Yin Pan'er, "Understood, Agent."

After hearing Tojo Seisuke's words, Yin Pan'er smiled slightly and didn't say anything more: "Alright, you guys hurry up and make the arrangements. I'll arrange some people for you to help you put on a show later."

Tojo Seisuke nodded.

As they left Yin Pan'er's residence, both Tojo Seisuke and Okamoto Juzo had a fine layer of sweat on their foreheads.

It was obvious that he was surprised and frightened by Yin Pan'er's imposing manner.

Although Yin Pan'er really had a lot of presence, Xiao Ce felt that she had at least three-tenths of his domineering aura.

However, after learning that she was Yin Pan'er, Xiao Ce couldn't feel afraid at all.

As they wiped their sweat, the two said to Xiao Ce, "Yi Ce, we really owe you this idea. Otherwise, we really wouldn't have had any good ideas."

Xiao Ce smiled and said politely, "Head of the Tojo family, you are too kind... In fact, you would definitely have been able to come up with a better solution without us."

"And what about our lord? I have overstepped my bounds today."

Okamoto Juzo waved his hand: "Don't be so modest. If you're awesome, you're awesome. What's there to be modest about... We really can't do this."

Tojo Seisuke nodded: "That's right, that's exactly it. Let us do it. We definitely can't do it!"

As he spoke, Tojo Seisuke looked at Okamoto Juzo.

Okamoto Juzo immediately sensed that Tojo Seisuke had something to say, so he said directly, "Tojo Seisuke, don't look at me like that. Just say what's on your mind."

Tojo Seisuke smiled and said to Okamoto Juzo, "Alright then, I won't stand on ceremony with you..."

Okamoto Juzo then signaled to Tojo Seisuke to speak frankly.

Tojo Seisuke didn't hesitate: "I was just thinking that this plan was conceived by Mr. Ichisaku, so could Senichi cooperate with Mr. Ichisaku to refine the details of this matter?"

Okamoto Juzo thought there was something else going on, and it turns out it was this.

Without saying a word, he said to Tojo Seisuke, "Sure, I thought it was something serious, but it's just this? No problem..."

As he spoke, Okamoto Juzo looked at Xiao Ce: "Yice, I'm leaving this matter to you. Don't worry, whatever rewards the Illuminati gives you for this mission, I will definitely not compete with you, I'll give them all to you."

Tojo Seisuke said, "That's right, our Tojo family doesn't want it either. Not only do we not want it, we also want to thank you and give you a gift."

"After all, this happened within our sphere of influence. Now that such a thing has happened, it's already quite an achievement that we've been able to distance ourselves from it and survive."

Hearing their polite manner, Xiao Ce smiled awkwardly and first said to Okamoto, "Lord, you are being too polite. Your trust in me and your willingness to give me this opportunity is a great honor. Whatever you do, I should express my gratitude. In fact, it is all my duty."

"Master Tojo, you're too kind. I'm helping you not because I want to, but because our lord wants to help you. Besides, I think this is perfectly normal; it's just mutual assistance..."

Xiao Ce's words were impeccable, and his one sentence pleased both of them.

Okamoto Juzo needs no introduction.

Meanwhile, Tojo Seisuke envied Okamoto Juzo's incredible luck in finding someone as capable and sensible as Xiao Ce...

Without further ado, Xiao Ce said to Tojo Senichi, "Young Master Tojo, please lead the way."

Tojo Seisuke said to Tojo Senichi, "Senichi, hurry up!"

As he spoke, he gave Tojo Senichi a meaningful look.

As Tojo Senichi spoke, he even bowed and scraped to Xiao Ce with a hint of ingratiation.

"Mr. Yice, this way please. Let me first explain our troop deployment..."

Looking at Tojo Senichi's expression, Okamoto Juzo didn't seem angry; instead, he seemed somewhat proud.

He wasn't afraid that Xiao Ce would be recruited by his Tojo family, because he felt that Xiao Ce's family was in his hands.

Night Cat, who was following Okamoto Juzo's side, saw this scene and a sense of pride immediately rose in his heart.

The reason is simple: this person is none other than Xiao Ce.

His older brother.

Even without his identity or the aura surrounding him, Xiao Ce earned the respect of these people through his abilities.

As the saying goes, "A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, while a dog travels a thousand miles to eat excrement," and this saying is absolutely true.
