Chapter 1158 Absolute Loyalty
"."

"He also said he wanted to protect this man. So are we going to the cells now?"

"It seems that he didn't actually tell me the specific details. Maybe he was afraid that you would run away."

Shangluo knew that Lu Huaiyang looked cunning, but in fact he was not honest at all. After all, he was not a good person to be able to sit in the position he is in today. In order to make the other party perform the task, he must have only picked out some things that could be said. As for the things that could not be said, most of them were not mentioned at all.

"So, what exactly is this mission?"

"It is true that we are protecting him, but we are not asking you to protect him in a cell. We are asking you to protect him in Edo Castle."

Shangluo planned to send Jingyi back, and that was the plan for the mission. After knowing that Xufu might have the intention of "luring him into a certain place step by step", Shangluo planned to get his wind first. He wanted to know what Xufu would do if he did not push forward as he had thought before, but sent someone in to find out what happened in Edo. He wanted to get more information from Edo, which was shrouded in fog.

This activity is quite dangerous, Shangluo does not intend to let the Jinyiwei go. After all, Xu Fu seems to have hidden a lot of things, some of which can only be dealt with by Fu Yuanshan himself. Ordinary Jinyiwei only have the cultivation level of Qi training period, or even less than Qi training period. After all, Xu Fu is an old monster who has lived for 2000 years. If you underestimate the 2000 years of time, you may pay a heavy price.
——However, despite the danger, there are still very useful, tough and durable Romans. Although they are all short-lived, they cannot be killed before their fate comes, just like copper peas that cannot be chewed.

Of course they had to be sent on such a dangerous mission. After all, even if they were killed, they could turn into a gust of black wind and come back to life, just like the minions of the devil who could never be killed in adventure stories.

"So Her Majesty Victoria called us here for this mission?"

Another advantage of the Roma Interior Guards is that they are extremely fast. As soon as Victoria issued the order, they arrived at the scene in less than 15 minutes, which is as fast as the fire brigade responding to the call.

"So, I'm counting on you." Victoria looked at him, "Although I know this is also a sacrifice for you, and it does put you in danger, but..."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to say more." Titus covered his face, "We. We should have died long ago."

"Huh? Why?" They were now communicating in Zhendan language, and Victoria thought she had misheard or the other party had said it wrong.

"We should have fought to the death long ago! Your Majesty. We were not going to die, but we had to witness the great Millennium Empire collapse in our generation - no one wants to be recorded in history with such a name. However, the various branches of the empire fought each other for their own interests, so that no one gave us orders that were really worth executing.

"In the Golden Bough incident, we all intended to implicate ourselves. We repeatedly stressed this to all parties, but no matter whether it was the Oracle, the Palace of Muses, or the Senate, they were all unwilling to take any risks. They were only willing to enforce the existing rules and must ask "outsiders" to solve the problem. I felt that, since it had come to this, it wouldn't matter if we broke in and pinned the Forest King to the ground. We wouldn't die anyway."

"I think it's because no one is willing to take the risk of making a decision." Victoria shook her head. "As long as everyone follows the routine, even if catastrophic consequences occur, the responsibility cannot be placed on a specific person. But as long as one person issues an order like you said, he will definitely be held responsible for it."

As she spoke, she looked at Shangluo: "What happened here has made me start to reflect on myself. Why is Zhendan willing to let Shangluo take the initiative to take action? And Shangluo actually dared to take action?"

"To be honest, it's because there are people to hold up the sky if it collapses." Shangluo replied, "Of course, this is due to my own decisiveness. But in fact, everyone knows that Daozu will come to the rescue in the end. They all think that Daozu thinks I am cautious, so my caution can be trusted - but in fact, because I am cautious, I can be careless." "You are right. Maybe I am too careless, so I must be cautious." Victoria looked at the ceiling, "Now think about it, did I miss a lot of things. Did I really do something wrong."

"No, Your Majesty." Titus lowered his head. "If there is any fault, it is our fault. We should be like those righteous men in the pre-Qin period, doing things that cannot be done on behalf of the lord. We should be the Lin Xiangru who asked the King of Qin to beat the drum for the King of Zhao, and we should have crashed our heads into the Heshi Bi and died. Now that the empire has fallen to this point, it is all my fault that our loyalty is not absolute enough. We do not have the determination to disobey orders for the sake of the empire. It is this kind of disloyalty that is the real loyalty. Leave this matter to us, and we will definitely find out the information about Xu Fu."

Tenkamaru returned to the port, just as it had been when it left.

"I still can't believe it. How did you manage to repair this ship? There were clearly hundreds of steel nails hammered into it."

"Let me tell you." Titus lowered his voice, "Actually, the nails are still there. There was no repair at all. We just used magic to make the ship sailable temporarily."

Titus didn't know what a mirage was, but he saw the process of casting the spell. The battleship, which was riddled with holes, was covered with an illusion by the mirage.

"However, we don't have much time." Titus reminded, "This magic doesn't seem to be stable. We should go eat healthy beef as soon as possible."

"Healthy beef? Is this a code word?" Ii hadn't realized what was happening yet. Both sides wanted his life, and he was already numb. Anyway, as long as he didn't betray the shogunate, he would listen to whoever held the gun.

"Well, what I mean is, we need to know the location of Xu Fu."

"I understand." Ii nodded. "As long as it doesn't harm the general, I will do it. As long as you can let the general go. The general, he is still a child, he knows nothing. This is all the fault of the mastermind. Time and time again, the mastermind has made us die meaninglessly. I don't know what he is going to do."

"There's this?" Titus didn't know what happened before. "You said Xu Fu wanted you to die?"

Titus keenly entered the state of attacking the level, looking for the rules that existed around him.

"He sent us to certain death time and again, leaving us with no power to fight back and no choice but to take the beating in front of Master Wang. I don't know what he's going to do."

"Ah!" Titus slapped his head suddenly, "I know what Xu Fu is going to do. Xu Fu wants to show: absolute loyalty. He wants to show his absolute loyalty of allowing the king to whip him without fighting back. This is his way of expressing his meaning. So this is the rule!"

"He's going to use our lives to bring this message?"

"Maybe. As a scholar from the pre-Qin period, his way of thinking is different from that of people today. This is the performance art of the scholars from the pre-Qin period! I read in a book that people at that time liked to do this. Or maybe he doesn't regard you as human beings, but just as a part of his body - but since there is such a guess, I probably know that I should test Xu Fu in this way. If he is really absolutely loyal, then he would be able to hold back and not fight back no matter what happens."
