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

Tojo Seisuke spoke to Xiao Ce with great confidence.

In Xiao Ce's eyes, this was a huge joke.

Seeing that Tojo Seisuke had made his choice, Xiao Ce didn't say a word to him.

Instead, she gave him a pitying look: "This is the last chance I'm giving you! Too bad you didn't cherish it!"

Tojo Seisuke still wanted to be stubborn.

However, Xiao Ce no longer wanted to listen to him.

He turned around and left immediately!

Just then, Tojo Seisuke shouted at Xiao Ce, "Xiao Ce, don't try that on me... Playing hard to get won't work on me!"

Xiao Ce couldn't help but laugh after hearing what Tojo Seisuke said.

He then shook his head repeatedly, saying with a hint of helplessness, "You really know nothing about me..."

Tojo Seisuke was actually a little flustered when he saw Xiao Ce's confident demeanor.

However, he still chose to believe in himself.

"Stop pretending! You know nothing about my current strength!" Tojo Seisuke still stubbornly insisted.

Xiao Ce ignored him.

Just as Xiao Ce passed by the prison cell of the Okamoto brothers.

They had been listening intently, so they noticed that Tojo Seisuke wasn't paying attention to Xiao Ce.

This delighted Okamoto the Two Fools, who said to Xiao Ce, "Lord Xiao Ce, that fool is ignoring you, he's not giving you face... We'll give you face, we'll listen to you..."

"So...we'll listen to you..."

When Xiao Ce first met them in Siam, these two people didn't seem so foolish.

How come it looks so stupid now? It's gotten sillier the more you look at it...

Xiao Ce said to the two men, "Didn't I already tell you? You two need to tell us your worth..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, the two seemed to be thinking about it for a while.

Xiao Ce ignored the two of them and left.

The night owl asked, "Your Highness, you haven't even started the interrogation yet?"

Xiao Ce smiled helplessly and then said, "Interrogate? How can we interrogate him? Judging from his expression, he clearly has no intention of speaking."

Xiao Ce spoke to the night owl before it could, asking, "Where's the Xie Zhi?"

The night owl's eyes lit up!

"He's in Kyoto. You didn't see him when you came here before. I'll have him come over right now!"

Xiao Ce nodded and said to Han Jun, "Alright, after the Xie Zhi arrives, you can have it interrogate him."

"Remember, you must keep this person under control, and add more manpower. And those manpower must be people you absolutely trust."

Han Jun listened and nodded, "Your Highness, yes!"

"Are you leaving again?"

Xiao Ce gave an awkward smile: "That's right, I underestimated my opponent... I thought I could get the information out of him through interrogation. However, judging from Tojo Seisuke's appearance, we were all tricked by him just now."

"However, you must be careful... I'll send a letter to Yin Weiyong later, telling him to send it to all the prefectures, and if they encounter me, they must check the codebook..."

Han Jun listened with a somewhat skeptical expression and said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, is it really possible for two people in this world to become exactly the same?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right... I've witnessed it... and the Xiao Ce who faked his death before was my doing..."

Han Jun nodded solemnly: "Then Your Highness, you really must take this seriously. The people of Xiao Kingdom regard you as a god. If an imposter of yours were to appear and call upon the people to rebel, then the people would certainly respond in unison."

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right, that's what I'm worried about too..."

With a grim expression, Xiao Ce said, "I understand now what they're thinking."

Han Jun looked at Xiao Ce with some confusion.

Xiao Ce said, "They probably don't want to use my appearance for anything, but rather to intimidate me, to make me tell people all over the country not to believe me... to destroy my influence."

"After all, my influence is too great! As long as I don't use my influence, they've already succeeded!"

Han Jun suddenly realized.

"Your Highness, you mean...that..."

Xiao Ce snorted coldly, a hint of ruthlessness on his face, and said, "However, they have actually misjudged the Xiao Kingdom. The Xiao Kingdom's strength and prosperity are partly due to me, but not much!"

"The Xiao Kingdom relies on individuals like you, building a tower from grains of sand! I will have Yin Weiyong issue an order!"

Han Jun nodded.

After Xiao Ce finished speaking, he didn't linger and left immediately.

As for the Xie Zhi, the Night Owl has ways to contact it.

...

Xiao Ce left at this time, but Okamoto Ersha called out to Xiao Ce for a long time in the prison cell.

But nobody paid them any attention.

So the two Okamotos discussed it and realized they had been listening to Xiao Ce and Tojo Seisuke's conversation.

They felt that Tojo Seisuke seemed to have some ability.

Moreover, it seems that Tojo Seisuke has a master.

This allowed them to seize another opportunity.

"Brother Zhengfu!"

"Brother Zhengfu!"

"Masuke-sama!"

They naturally dared not call him Tojo anymore, and changed their address several times.

Tojo Seisuke lay on one side, far less confident than he had imagined.

Especially seeing Xiao Ce leave so resolutely, he was uncertain, but he still chose to stick to his own decision.

If Xiao Ce hadn't come, Tojo Seisuke could have comfortably continued to show off.

However, he was really not at ease at this moment.

He had originally decided not to bother with that idiot.

However, Tojo Seisuke was immediately embarrassed to discover that the only people he could talk to were these two.

I used to find them really annoying.

But then I suddenly realized that chatting with these two idiots to relieve my boredom wouldn't be so bad.

Perhaps we can make use of them, after all, he does have powerful backers.

However, that powerful backer might not be able to help him now.

Just as the two of them had been calling out persistently for about half an hour.

Only then did Tojo Seisuke begin to pay attention to them.

"Hmph... Don't you guys like to call me Tojo?"

Okamoto Juro's style is characterized by its bold and unconventional approach, yet it avoids internal conflicts.

He was flexible and adaptable: "Hehe, alright! Your Excellency, please don't be angry... I was just blind to your greatness..."

"When we were powerful before, weren't we powerful too? Lord Zhengfu, please don't hold it against us. We're just people from the bottom of society; it's only because we've gained some power that we've become so arrogant..."

"Actually, I've been completely made a fool of, haven't I? You just treated me like a fart!"

They were quick to admit their mistakes.

Seeing the two people's strong will to survive, Tojo Seisuke couldn't help but smile.

"Alright! I can forgive you since you've been so nice!"

Upon hearing Tojo Seisuke's words, the two men, as if grasping at a straw, continued to linger by the cell's gate.

Even though he couldn't see it, he still craned his neck and kept looking towards Tojo Seisuke.

"Lord Tojo, could you please find a way to save us? When someone comes to rescue you, could you please take us with you?"

Just as Tojo Seisuke was about to answer, he heard a sound.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on! Do you think we're dead?! You think you can run away... Let me tell you, none of you will escape." Several jailers standing by didn't want to say anything.

Let them say whatever they want, but they're going further and further astray!

After hearing what the jailer said, they straightened their necks and shut their mouths.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side, Rhys, Nie Bing, and their group encountered the exact same situation as Tojo Seisuke.

The Slavic soldiers were all drugged and knocked unconscious.

Ries and Nie Bing, along with several other leaders, were also imprisoned.

Rhys woke up first, and there were no surprises after he woke up.

Instead, he gave a wry smile: "Just as I thought..."

Rhys had actually sensed something was wrong a while ago, after all, things had been going too smoothly...

Now that he's been arrested, I can finally relax.

After calming himself down, he looked around.

I spotted Nie Bing on the other side at a glance.

There was no one else guarding the place where they were being held.

Rhys lowered his voice and kept saying to Nie Bing, "Lord Nie Bing...Lord Nie Bing..."

Nie Bing was still unconscious.

He was eventually woken up by Rhys's persistent shouts...
