There are no other customers in the three-story luxury restaurant, Kyoto's most famous "Yoshida cuisine", but at each stairway, there are energetic young guards in black uniforms.
In fact, the downstairs of "Yoshida Shoku" is tightly guarded by the Prince's Guards, who are armed with live ammunition. They are all wearing dark red military uniforms, which are very gorgeous and exaggerated. In fact, the exaggerated shape is not only awe-inspiring, but also mainly conceals the inner wear.
body armor.
On the periphery, there were soldiers of the Japanese Internal Affairs Corps in green uniforms, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, completely guarding this long street.
On the third floor, all the other tables and chairs had been moved away from the window, leaving only one table with a light yellow tablecloth. Lu Ming and Prime Minister Ashikaga sat opposite each other.
When Lu Ming came to Japan, Ashikaga naturally prepared an extremely luxurious state banquet. He also heard that the prince wanted to taste the local specialties, so he entertained the prince here again.
At this time, while tasting the fresh tiger fish sashimi, Lu Ming said helplessly: "Actually, I just want to walk around casually, but now it's a bit disturbing to the people."
The old Ashikaga smiled and said: "Then I will not disturb His Highness tomorrow. Your Highness can patrol everywhere. The security in Kyoto is still very good. Of course, it is also the security department that has received all-round support from the principality. From training to concepts, I
I was amazed when I saw it.”
Lu Ming smiled and said nothing.
The old Ashikaga said again: "Your Highness, I heard that the Sonia people not only have no intention of withdrawing their troops in the Western Region, but have instead increased their troops?"
Seeing his concerned expression, Lu Ming smiled: "Henry is planning to go all the way to the dark side." He couldn't say some things to Ashikaga. Henry II and the Sonia military and political group obviously believed that in the Western Region, it was far from enough to admit defeat.
At that time, according to intelligence, it was even ready for another war with the Wilhelm V Group. It was speeding up the production of biological and chemical weapons and prepared to use them on the eastern front where it might start a war with the Wilhelm V Group.
In the Western Region, they don’t even think that they have to give up. They even think that the Principality of Montenegro is a serious problem for them because of the tragedy in the White Tower. Nowadays, the Montenegro people dare to fight with them openly and openly. What kind of "volunteer regiment" is used?
"The name is just a cover-up, and it is still the case today. Once the Principality of Montenegro becomes stronger, the power of the Montenegro people in the Western Region will definitely be a problem.
Therefore, the Sonia people are even prepared to expel the Montenegrins from the Western Region at all costs. In this way, the Montenegro Principality's West Montenegro oil field and the two potential Thoroston oil fields were also divested and forcibly expropriated as part of the Sonia Kingdom.
In strategic industries, it is worth paying a slightly higher price for such outgoing and incoming investments.
In fact, the main reason is that the important figures and think tanks of Henry II's group looked down upon the eldest prince William V. They believed that under his leadership, the actual Kingdom of Grifenni simply did not have the determination and courage to go to war with the Kingdom of Sonia again, especially
The reason is to punish the development of biological and chemical weapons, and ultimately it is to help the Principality of Montenegro safeguard its interests in the Western Region.
"It seems like chaos is about to happen again..." Old Ashikaga sighed softly.
Lu Ming nodded: "So, to prevent Henry II from colluding with Yamamoto Xiong and maintain the stability of Japan, we must also rely on Prime Minister Ashikaga."
Old Ashikaga smiled and said: "If Her Majesty the Queen and Your Highness become sworn sworn brothers, Japan will not be in chaos."
Lu Ming glanced at him. There was no doubt that there was an old Ashikaga person around Yuezhao, and he was also someone Yuezhao trusted greatly. Because he proposed the sworn brotherhood, there were only himself and Yue Zhao at that time, and there was no maid.
, it seems that Yuezhao was unable to make a decision and discussed it with the person she trusted the most, and then it was leaked.
At this moment, Hong Ying hurriedly came up from downstairs, approached Lu Ming, and whispered: "Queen Yuezhao sent someone to invite you to the All Saints Palace, saying that she has made a decision."
Lu Ming nodded and smiled at Ashikaga: "Prime Minister, we're almost there. As you wish, the All Saints Palace invites me to go."
The old Ashikaga smiled and said: "Okay, okay, your highness, please do it!" A strange color flashed in his eyes, and he didn't know whether it was relief or loss.
………
Lu Ming was still taken to the tea room where they met the day before yesterday.
The difference this time was that an old woman came in first and knelt down in front of Lu Ming, demonstrating the tea ceremony very elegantly.
"Your Highness, please try the Holy Snow Tea." The old woman brought a cup of cold tea to Lu Ming, but the cup was hot.
Lu Ming tasted it gently, and immediately felt a line of ice entering his abdomen, which then turned into heat, and his whole body felt warm and comfortable.
"Well, it's a very strange tea. You are very capable!" Lu Ming nodded in admiration.
The old woman smiled slightly and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, thank you for your praise. In fact, our country in Japan has always been full of heroes. Your Highness came to Japan to bully my great master. You really came to the wrong place!"
Lu Ming looked at her quietly: "Jintian family?"
The old woman's original smile froze and she stared at Lu Ming in surprise.
Lu Ming smiled: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, but you have been working for Yamamoto Xiong, why are you here? If you want to harm me, it is definitely not the wish of Queen Yuezhao. What the Queen cares about are the millions of people in Japan.
, if I died in her palace, countless Japanese civilians would be buried with me, how could this be what she wanted?"
The old woman smiled coldly, and suddenly there was a small red drum in her hand. She slapped it with her hand and said grimly: "Get up and salute me!"
Lu Ming spread his hands helplessly. It was clear that the other party's tea making was a "skill" rather than poison, so he drank it carelessly. It was true that as long as it was a "skill", it seemed to be of no use to him.
Judging from the old woman's behavior, this is probably some kind of voodoo.
Seeing Lu Ming's complete lack of reaction, the old woman's expression suddenly changed.
In the void, two cold short blades were pressed against the old woman's neck. What suddenly appeared on the left and right of the old woman were Big and Small Fruits.
By Lu Ming's side, Da Guo's ability to appear and appear is ten times stronger.
"You are not that old monster, are you his wife? Daughter?" Lu Ming looked at the old woman and asked.
The old woman suddenly teleported back a few steps, but the size of Guo followed her like a shadow, and was still on both sides of her, and the cold light in his hand was still pressed against her neck.
The old woman's face turned pale, and she immediately knew that her life was already in someone's hands if she wasn't paying attention. It would be easy for someone to take her life.
Staring at Lu Ming, the old woman gritted her teeth: "If my father hadn't been pedantic and adhered to the old rules that men are not allowed to enter the queen's inner residence without permission, you would have died in my father's hands by now."
Lu Ming smiled and said to Xiao Guo: "Take her down for trial." He slightly raised his voice: "Grandma Long, how are you? Is Her Majesty the Queen okay?"
"There are a few little female thieves, and I have already cleaned them up!" came the voice of Granny Camel Dragon from afar.
