My mother's love song

Saber emphasized proudly: "With my strength."

What he meant was that although the two of them worked together to repel Yoshiwara's Berserker this time, Miyamoto Iori was a complete loser in tonight's battle.

Iori didn't argue because it was the truth.

Saber's disparagement of herself was already a commonplace daily occurrence, not to mention that the other party did have the capital to do so.

In his eyes as Miyamoto Musashi's adopted son, Saber's swordsmanship was so exquisite and perfect.

Compared to Saber, the sword that he had spent countless years sharpening was not worth mentioning at all.

Miyamoto Iori couldn't even say "Let's fight together", and the only answer he could get from Saber was "Then try not to get in my way."

However, this feeling of hopelessness did not frustrate him.

Miyamoto Iori still maintains a calm mind and performs his functions as a swordsman.

This is because for him, the reason for participating in the Waxing Moon Ceremony is to protect Edo from the rampaging sorcerers and heroic spirits.

In order to prevent Yingyue from falling into the hands of evil people.

To protect the peaceful life in Edo.

That’s right…his wish is so simple.

In order not to implicate innocent people, Miyamoto Iori even prohibited Saber from releasing the so-called [Noble Phantasm].

If the price of winning is to bring disaster to Edo, then he will choose to lose even if it doesn't matter.

"Wait, there are unexpected guests."

Saber's clear voice brought Miyamoto Iori back to his senses from his deep thoughts.

Two dark shadows appeared on the road in front of them.

It's not just a description, but the two figures really give people a dark feeling.

The one emitting strong magical power was a silver-haired woman dressed in black and holding a large gun.

And a man in tattered clothes, wrapped in bandages, with marks of stitches, cuts, and burns all over his body, like a torn corpse.

"Lancer and his Master?"

Saber immediately realized that the other party was a hostile Servant and Master, and drew her sword and took a stance before the rookie Master gave the order.

"What's matter?"

The man who felt like he might die at any moment said, "What else could it be except a sneak attack? It's a pity that we were discovered."

"Such a bold sneak attack is really eye-opening."

Saber was full of disdain: "But it's much easier now that my opponent is you."

Compared to the purple armored warrior he first fought last night and the green-haired giant he fought tonight, the black Lancer was not nearly as powerful.

Although he was asked by Iori not to destroy the town, Saber was confident that she could defeat Lancer without even releasing her Noble Phantasm's True Name.

The long sword in Saber's hand was filled with surging magic power, but she heard the man shout "Wait".

“It’s all right to be motivated, but I don’t intend to confront you head-on.

Unfortunately, my Servant just had too much fun with her man and now has no energy left to fight with you."

"So what do you want?"

Saber remained alert and questioned loudly.

Then, the zombie-like man

The survivor of the Shimabara Rebellion, Jiemon looked past Saber and stared at Miyamoto Iori with a ferocious smile.

"Yo, let's talk, Justice Messenger."

Chapter 934: What is it like to accidentally kidnap your own god?

"The wish I want to make to Yingyue is to revive the Ming Dynasty."

Soon after the banquet began, Zheng Chenggong was forced to drink several glasses of liquor by Luode. Slightly tipsy, he expressed his desire to participate in the Full Moon Ceremony.

This man is always generous and open-minded, but at this moment, his voice is mixed with a bit of heaviness.

"I want the Ming Dynasty, where everyone is free from fear of slaughter and invasion, to be revived in your Majesty's name."

Zheng Chenggong stared at the clear liquid in the wine glass and spoke calmly.

On the continent at the end of the ocean, there is a motherland that has entered its twilight years and is only waiting to be destroyed.

He wanted to use the power of the waxing moon to restore it to its former glory.

This wish may sound a little vulgar, but for Zheng Chenggong, it is probably everything to him.

Yui Masayuki murmured, "The wish is to conquer that Ming country... What a noble ideal."

"Hehe...are you praising me? Thank you."

At this time, Rhodes came up and put his arms around the girl's shoulders and said to Zheng Chenggong.

"By the way, this guy's wish is to correct the world. Specifically..."

"Hey!"

Yui Masayuki twisted his shoulders, trying to break free from the boy's arms.

"Huh? You can't say this? I saw you always telling everyone about your ideals, so I thought it was okay."

"Whatever happens, okay?"

Yui Masayuki frowned slightly and glared at Rhode resentfully: "I'm not in the mood to talk about this right now."

"Eh? Really? That's really disappointing."

Rhodes released the girl's arm and raised his glass happily.

"Since Masayoshi Masayuki doesn't want to say it, let me tell you my wish to cheer you up!

Although as a Ruler I cannot hold up the full moon, if I must say it, I still have a desire to do so.

Um, ahem... the wish I want to make to the waning moon is actually

Wine and women!

I want to enjoy more and more, countless fine wines and beautiful women, this is my ultimate wish in life!"

After the young man finished shouting, the entire banquet hall suddenly fell silent.

Quiet.

Rhodes looked at Zheng Chenggong and Yui Masayuki very frustratedly, hoping that they could give some interesting reactions.

"Say, can you give me some reaction? My wish is for wine and women! Isn't that bad?"

Archer Zhou Yu on the side smiled bitterly and said, "We already knew about this, idiot."

Then, cheerful laughter was heard in the banquet hall.

……

……

……

The reception ended before midnight.

Rhodes said goodbye to Yui Masayuki and Zheng Chenggong and set out on the journey back to the base.

"Lord Nanlong of the Ii family, that Lord Tokugawa Yorinobu!?"

Yui Masayuki put the drunken Rod's arm on his shoulder, helped the young man walk, and asked him about Zheng Chenggong's background.

Even if the other party was a powerful family from the mainland, it was impossible for them to live in Edo without any connection, so Zheng Chenggong must have someone in the shogunate.

"Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro informed the people in the shogunate and held the Full Moon Ceremony in Edo...

But within the shogunate... there was also someone who was unhappy with this move... that person was Tokugawa Yorinobu, one of the three great families."

Yu Sanjia

In order to consolidate the rule of the Edo Shogunate, Tokugawa Ieyasu established the Gosanke system with his three sons (Tokugawa Hidetada, Tokugawa Yoshinao, and Tokugawa Yorinori), namely the Shogunate, Owari, and Kii families.

According to Tokugawa Ieyasu's will, if the shogun's family died out, the new shogun would be chosen from the Owari family or the Kii family.

In other words, Zheng Chenggong's sponsor in Japan was the uncle of the third shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Rhodes said drunkenly, resting his head on the girl's shoulder.

"Zheng Chenggong had asked the shogunate for help many times, hoping to borrow troops from Japan to fight against the Qing army...

Among the high-ranking officials of the shogunate, Tokugawa Yorinobu particularly admired Zheng Chenggong... He welcomed Zheng Chenggong to Edo and gave him this mansion.

Knowing Zheng Chenggong's heroic wish...he privately told him about the existence of this ceremony.

"Although the shogunate cannot send regular reinforcements, I will allow you to participate in the ceremony", it seems to be said like this..."

Yui Masayuki frowned and said, "What an incredible friendship... Then what does Koxinga-sama plan to do in return? It can't be just a one-sided profit, right?"

"Well... the favor has already been repaid..."

"What do you mean?"

Then, Rod calmly stated the fact that stunned Yui Masayuki.

"The one behind the curtain who instructed Tsuchimikado Yasuhiro to conduct this ceremony was none other than the general."

"General? How could it be...!"

Rhodes ignored the girl's exclamation and continued.

"In order to thwart Tokugawa Iemitsu's plan, Zheng Chenggong joined the war as Tokugawa Yorifusa's agent... That's what happened."

"…………"

Although Yui Masayuki knew that the Ceremony of the Full Moon involved important figures in the shogunate, she could never have imagined that the shogun himself was the real mastermind.

The girl pursed her lips, she felt angry from the bottom of her heart

In order to realize the miracle of the waxing moon, the general was willing to turn Edo into a battlefield!

"……ah."

Yu Jing Zhengxue suddenly let out a cry.

The girl felt her butt being rubbed and glared at the boy who was clinging to her.

"Rod, what are you doing?"

"Put me down. I need to pee. Or do you want to come with me?"

Yui Masayuki's cheeks blushed and she let go of his arm.

The girl crossed her arms over her chest and puffed her cheeks as she said, "I'll wait for you here. Don't go too far. Come back as soon as you're done."

"Uh-huh."

Rhodes walked deeper into the alley.

"Don't run away."

Rider's warning voice came from behind.

"Why should I run away?"

"Who knows you."

Rhodes waved to them and disappeared into the darkness.

After saying goodbye to Yui Masayuki, Rhodes staggered to a corner.

After making sure that Zhengxue and Rider had not followed him, Rhode hummed a song and reached for Wufu's belt.

A huge shadow suddenly jumped out from the wall behind Rhodes!

The huge white snake with bright red pupils opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards the boy's back at incredible speed.

The moment of hunting is fleeting.

Just a second later, the boy disappeared.
