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

Xiao Ce smiled and waved his hand, indicating that there was no major problem.

"Gentlemen, why did you bother to make this trip in person?"

Tojo Seisuke gave an awkward smile and said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Yice, we didn't come here for this reason in the first place. I only found out after we arrived that you were seasick again."

With the help of the night cat, Xiao Ce got up.

He naturally knew what Tojo Seisuke's purpose was.

"Head of the Tojo family, has something happened?"

When Xiao Ce asked, Tojo Seisuke smiled insincerely and said, "It's alright...it's alright...it's nothing serious. Let's talk about it after you've rested."

Looking at their hypocritical behavior, Xiao Ce thought to himself that he had already cooperated with them for so long, so what difference would a little longer make?

"Head of the Tojo family, since you've come, it must be for something important. Otherwise, you wouldn't have come. Just tell me what it is..."

"I just get seasick, and now the ship has stopped..."

Tojo Seisuke and Tojo Senichi exchanged a glance.

The two started acting again, with Tojo Seisuke displaying a troubled expression.

Tojo Senichi feigned an anxious expression: "Mr. Ichisaku, my father is starting to have second thoughts again. Actually, it's necessary to tell you about this... The governor of Rinkai County has already contacted Okamoto Juzo and his group. They seem to have some connection..."

"Oh? How could the Okamoto family possibly have contact with the people of Xiao Kingdom?"

Tojo Senichi first explained the situation.

Xiao Ce already knew about this.

So Xiao Ce still pretended to frown and said, "Oh? There's such a thing? Even if we're going to talk about it, we still have to go through me, right? The Okamoto family doesn't want to go through me now."

Tojo Sen nodded: "That's right..."

Before Tojo Senichi could continue, Xiao Ce interrupted, "That's true, but there's nothing wrong with what they're doing. If they have a way to persuade them to surrender, that would naturally be the best outcome."

Tojo Senichi quickly replied, “Of course we know that, but, Mr. Ichisaku, our Tojo family has a lot of contact with the people of Fusang... Those people there are not trustworthy... As for the people of Xiao... there is only one way to conquer them, and that is to kill them all. Only when the people of Xiao are dead are they trustworthy... As long as they are still breathing, they are not trustworthy.”

After hearing Tojo Senichi's words, a murderous intent flashed in Xiao Ce's eyes.

He showed no emotion on his face, but thought to himself, "I shouldn't let you have power."

Xiao Ce adopted a thoughtful expression, then said mysteriously to Xiao Ce, "Head of the Tojo family, young master Tojo, I have an idea..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Tojo Senichi asked in surprise, "A solution? What solution?"

Xiao Ce said to them, "Gentlemen, don't be anxious. No matter what they do now, don't say anything... Let them take as many cities as they want, that's their business. You can accept whatever they give you... Even if they don't give you a single cent, don't say anything."

When Tojo Senichi heard Xiao Ce say this, he looked puzzled: "Mr. Senichi, what... what kind of plan is this?"

Xiao Ce was completely trying to deceive them...

As a stopgap measure, he wanted to lure them into a trap before killing them.

What could he do?

However, Xiao Ce said, "What? Young Master Tojo, don't you trust me? If you don't trust me, then do whatever you want..."

Tojo Seisuke quickly said, "No...no...no...we didn't mean that. We just don't understand...it's not that the Illuminati means weapons will be distributed according to the cities occupied...in the end, we won't have occupied anything..."

Before Xiao Ce could speak, Night Cat spoke up first: "You two are usually so smart... how come you were scared by the people of Xiao Kingdom after you came here? Why is your brain... so hard to understand?"

Hearing the night owl say this, the two became even more puzzled.

Night Cat said, "Gentlemen, there's no one else here, so I'll be frank... Ultimately, how these things are distributed and given out is still my elder brother's decision... In other words..."

"Besides, why are you in such a hurry? There's a saying, 'He who laughs last laughs best...'"

They were silent for a moment.

"You yourselves said that the people of Xiao are cunning... So what if they fall for their tricks? You just need to stay vigilant yourselves..."

Upon hearing this, the two immediately understood.

"Yes, yes, yes... Mr. Saya, truly, a single conversation with you is worth more than ten years of study... You're absolutely right..."

Tojo Seisuke was the first to understand.

They then looked at Xiao Ce, seemingly asking if their guesses were true...

Xiao Ce smiled slightly at him and nodded.

"Alright, you can all rest assured now. After listening to me, I won't let you suffer any losses."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, if you have any doubts... then I naturally have no objections. You can certainly do as you see fit..."

Tojo Seisuke waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Mr. Ichisaku, what you're saying... we believe you, we believe you."

Xiao Ce said, "Alright then, you guys go first. We'll go ashore together later. Those Okamoto family members are all very suspicious..."

"I appreciate your concern and kindness..."

Seeing this, Tojo Seisuke smiled slightly at Xiao Ce: "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, Mr. Yice. It's also thanks to you for thinking of us."

Xiao Ce smiled and waved his hand: "It's alright...it's alright...aren't we all on the same side? If you want me, I certainly won't let you suffer any losses."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Tojo Seisuke pulled Tojo Senichi away.

Once aboard their shuttle boat, Tojo Senichi hurriedly said, "Father, what do you understand? Okamoto Kazusaku didn't say anything at all... Why are you acting like you've received a tremendous favor... I always feel like he's lying to us, just making empty promises..."

Tojo Seisuke said, "Senichi, are you really not clear-headed, or are you pretending? Aren't you usually quite smart? How come you're making a mistake at this crucial moment?"
