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

Things went even more smoothly here; they've already won over the major armed leaders.

The Tojo family is probably just picking up scraps left over from behind them...

Seeing Okamoto Juzo's excited expression, Xiao Ce sensed something was wrong...

This doesn't fit the habits of the Tojo family...

Seeing that Xiao Ce's expression was not good, Okamoto Juzo asked, "Mr. Xiao Ce, you seem unhappy? What's wrong? Is something the problem?"

Xiao Ce asked Okamoto Juzo, "Do you think this is a normal reaction from the Tojo family?"

Okamoto Juzo said to Xiao Ce, "Actually, my brother and I discussed it and felt that this was not their style, but times have changed."

"Do they even have a choice now? What qualifications do they have...? They have no qualifications at all! They're just lucky to be able to follow us and get some scraps...right?"

After listening to Okamoto Juzo's words, Xiao Ce nodded: "That's true... but they're definitely not up to anything good..."

Okamoto Juzo nodded and said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, we have indeed considered this... However, there's nothing we can do if they're up to no good. Strength is king. Just like when they were arrogant before, our resentment was useless... Strength is king..."

Xiao Ce nodded; his main purpose was to sow discord among them...

"That's true, but I suspect they're planning to stay behind you, letting you do the main attack while they pick off the rest. After all, they've dealt with Xiao Ce before, and they know how powerful he is..."

Okamoto Juzo nodded: "Alright, Ichi-che, I understand what you mean. It's that we shouldn't be cannon fodder..."

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, I heard that ever since the news of Xiao Ce's death spread..."

Before Xiao Ce could finish speaking, Okamoto Juro interrupted, "Mr. Yice, didn't you say that the people from the Illuminati said that wasn't a fake Xiao Ce? And that the real Xiao Ce isn't dead?"

Xiao Ce nodded and said to Okamoto Juro, "That's right. Although Xiao Ce may have faked his death, I've heard that news of his death has already spread throughout the Xiao Kingdom, and no one from the Xiao Kingdom has shown any trace of him... so the entire Xiao Kingdom is now in a state of panic..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Okamoto Juro's eyes lit up as he looked at Xiao Ce and said, "So, you sent Yi Lei over to check on the situation in Xiao Kingdom?"

Xiao Ce nodded and said to Okamoto Juroku, "That's right, we can subdue the enemy without fighting, isn't that the best way?"

Okamoto Juro nodded: "Good...good...that plan, will you be coming with us this time?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "Logically speaking, the Illuminati's representative should take me there... Lords, I can help you... but you both have to listen to me, okay?"

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Okamoto Juroku smiled and nodded: "No problem...of course...who else would we listen to if not you..."

After listening to Okamoto Juroku's words, Xiao Ce smiled and nodded: "Alright... as long as you cooperate with me... whatever the Tojo family wants to do will be useless..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Okamoto Juroku kept praising Xiao Ce and chatting with him.

Xiao Ce would occasionally make empty promises to them in the carriage, which was a way of keeping them completely under his control.

Upon arriving at the destination, Yin Pan'er first met with Brian Carter.

Brian Carter pledged his loyalty to Yin Pan'er and the others, without Yin Pan'er having to say a word.

Actually, Brian Carter and his ilk didn't even need to say anything; just looking at how they came over showed their sincerity.

After all, so many people came; they must have come with sincerity.

After exchanging a few words, Yin Pan'er said to Brian Carter, "Brian Carter, as a member of the Brian family of Britain, I certainly trust you. So, the Kingdom of Sulu and the Kingdom of Siam are now in your hands... We are ready to support you in any way you need help... However, you need to ask in advance."

Brian Carter bowed respectfully to Yin Pan'er, then said, "Agent, rest assured, I will certainly follow your instructions... I will manage things well here. As for assistance, it would be best if I could receive it..."

After listening to Brian Carter's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and nodded, "Of course I can help. By the way, many of you are from the same country as these representatives, right? You should all go and pay them a visit. I won't keep you any longer..."

These people nodded as they spoke, and then withdrew.

After everyone left, Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "Yi Ce, you did a great job! Tell me, what reward do you want..."

Xiao Ce was completely stumped by Yin Pan'er's question: Reward?

He really couldn't think of any reward he wanted, and besides, he didn't want anything at all.

Xiao Ce waved his hand and said, "Agent, it's nothing... I didn't do anything, just did what I could... Actually, they heard about your name, and Brian Carter agreed without even thinking about it."

Seeing this, Yin Pan'er said, "Alright, since that's what you think, you haven't thought it through, have you?"

Xiao Ce smiled awkwardly and nodded to Yin Pan'er.

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce in a very generous manner, "It's okay if you haven't thought it through... You can take your time to think about it... Tell me when you've thought it through."

Xiao Ce nodded to Yin Pan'er: "Alright... Agent, then I won't stand on ceremony. Thank you, Agent..."

Yin Pan'er waved her hand and said to Xiao Ce, "Don't rush to thank me... I really do have something I need your help with..."

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Oh? What is it?"

Yin Pan'er took a sip of tea, looked at Xiao Ce with a slight smile, and asked, "What is it? Can you guess?"

Xiao Ce seemed to be thinking for a while, and then said to Yin Pan'er, "Is it related to the allocation of weapons and resources?"

Yin Pan'er nodded: "That's right. I initially thought it would be allocated according to need... but after thinking about it carefully, I felt something wasn't quite right... after all, the Okamoto family has practically conscripted all the troops from Siam and the Sulu Kingdom..."

"If it's based on need, their weapons are probably ten times more than the Tojo family's... or even more... then it won't just be a matter of whether the Tojo family is needed or not anymore, right?"

Xiao Ce listened and said, "That's true, but we can't just withhold weapons and equipment from the Okamoto family because we have more troops... At least they need warships, one weapon per person, and ammunition... The necessary equipment is still required. Most of the local armed forces here still use cold weapons. Even their local armed forces have other weapons, but those weapons are just scraps made in Japan that they picked up during the war with Japan."

"If we send them with these weapons to attack the people of Xiao, they'll probably laugh at us..."

Seeing Xiao Ce say this, Yin Pan'er kept staring at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce gave an awkward smile, then said to Yin Pan'er, "Agent, please don't misunderstand. It's not because I have a good relationship with the Okamoto family that I said that. Even if I came from the Tojo family, I would have said the same thing..."

"We can't distribute resources based on who's weaker and who's stronger... This world is inherently a dog-eat-dog world..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er looked puzzled and then asked, "Do you think the Tojo family might resist...?"

Xiao Ce nodded, making no attempt to hide anything, and said directly to Yin Pan'er, "Agent, emotions are understandable... but I have a way... to persuade them... and we can be generous and distribute them with twice the size of their current army, so they can use it as reserves when they expand their forces in Xiao Kingdom..."

Yin Pan'er listened and then asked Xiao Ce, "Can you persuade them?"

After a moment of silence, Xiao Ce smiled slightly at Yin Pan'er, then nodded and said, "Of course...of course I can..."

Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Okay, give me a plan... If there are no problems, I'll do it your way..."

Xiao Ce had considered that Yin Pan'er would trust him, but he never expected her to trust him this much.

This level of trust is practically an open secret...

Seeing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce didn't stand on ceremony, after all, time was of the essence...

“Alright, then, since you trust me, I will not let you down.”

As she spoke, Yin Pan'er glanced at Xiao Yue standing to the side.

Then Xiaoyue came over with a list, which Xiao Ce glanced at.

Thinking to myself, no wonder they're so arrogant, they really do spend big money.

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "So many?"

Yin Pan'er nodded and said to Xiao Ce, "What do you think? Our Illuminati is more than just rich..."

"Our Illuminati has the power to mobilize all of the West's industrial capacity. We can deploy such weapons anytime, anywhere, as long as we want."

Xiao Ce understood what Yin Pan'er meant.

They knew that Yin Pan'er was passing a message to Xiao Ce.

After hearing Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce quickly said, "Then why are these weapons taking so long to arrive this time... If a real battle breaks out, with this kind of weapon support... I'm afraid everyone will be dead before their support even arrives."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er laughed and said, "Haha, that's true. Mainly, we've been discussing it internally in the West... and now we've reached a consensus..."

After listening to Yin Pan'er's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "I see. Are they providing their full support now? What are their agendas?"

Yin Pan'er said to Xiao Ce, "You don't need to know that for now. You just need to know that as long as we go smoothly, we can have a continuous supply of weapons."

Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "On the contrary, if things don't go smoothly... wouldn't we be vulnerable to having our supplies cut off?"

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er was a little stunned: "You're very smart... I can continue to reveal some things to you... that the Illuminati from the Slavic countries isn't with us?"

Xiao Ce thought to himself, recalling what Brian Carter had said.

Isn't Nie Bing the Illuminati agent in the Slavic country?

Judging from Yin Pan'er's expression, she seemed unaware of this matter.

Xiao Ce then looked at Yin Pan'er, feigning surprise: "Not with you? Then you're from another force? Do you know that agent?"

Yin Pan'er shook her head: "I don't know, I've never seen it before..."

Xiao Ce had finally understood...

"So, Agent, this is a competition. Whoever takes more land from Xiao Kingdom will get more resources from the Illuminati, right?"

I actually heard from Brian Carter that the Slavs had conquered the Turkic Khaganate at that time.

However, they don't seem to have started their attack yet; they seem to be waiting for something.

Xiao Ce has now obtained an official message from Yin Pan'er.

When Yin Pan'er heard Xiao Ce say this, a look of appreciation appeared in her eyes.

He then said to Xiao Ce, "Indeed...you're a smart man...so, we need to balance their relationship...they are currently our pawns, but we need to leverage their strength to achieve success in the Xiao Kingdom, thereby reaping a greater share of the profits..."

Hearing what Yin Pan'er said, Xiao Yue thought to herself that Yin Pan'er said she couldn't let the news leak out.

However, Yin Pan'er told Xiao Ce all the news.

However, she couldn't say anything at the moment.

Xiao Ce nodded and said to Yin Pan'er, "Agent, I understand... You can rest assured."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er smiled and said, "Don't worry...of course I'm not worried. If I wasn't, I wouldn't have said what you said."

With that, Yin Pan'er waved her hand and then said to Xiao Ce, "Alright, I've told you enough... Go ahead and get busy."

Xiao Ce nodded and walked out.

As soon as I stepped outside, I spotted Tojo Senichi pacing back and forth in the distance.

Looking at Tojo Senichi's appearance, he was unsure of their intentions.

Just then, Tojo Senichi saw Xiao Ce leave and smiled broadly, his smile as bright as a blooming chrysanthemum.

Seeing Tojo Senichi's attitude, Xiao Ce approached and asked, "Young Master Senichi, did you come to see me?"

Tojo Senichi smiled and nodded in agreement.

Xiao Ce continued, "Then why didn't you come in to find me? Was there something inconvenient?"
