Chapter 291
The sky was gray and bright, and the Holy Emperor and senior government officials from Tokyo stood neatly at the door of the city government building, waiting for someone from the church to come and contact them.
And the Tokyo citizens who originally gathered downstairs at the Tokyo City Hall, after the battle, found that there was no danger, and dispersed in twos and threes dragging their tired bodies. After all, they could go home, and no one wanted to squat in a tent. Feeding on summer mosquitoes and flies, the refugee concentration camp with tens of thousands of people, with no one to maintain order, can be said to be extremely dirty and messy.
Shengtianzi looked anxiously at the intersection in the distance from time to time. She didn't know what kind of request the church would make today. Is Tokyo able to accept it, but then I think about it, what right does Tokyo have to refuse now?
Thinking of this, the Holy Emperor felt sad. After all, no one in power wanted an uncontrollable force to appear in his jurisdiction. Once it appeared, it could only be said to be the incompetence of the person in power.
Time passed minute by minute, and the faces of the senior government officials behind Sheng Tianzi gradually darkened. It had been almost an hour since they were notified to assemble, and the people from the church hadn't come yet, so they obviously didn't do much to them. Looking at it, they who usually hold high positions are becoming more and more impatient. Now that the crisis in Tokyo has been resolved, they, as those in power, do not like the inexplicable power of the temple.
Many officials looked at each other, and then looked at Tendo Kikunojo in the front, each of them seemed to want to convey some message with their eyes.
Tendou Kikunochei, if he felt something, turned back and nodded to them, and then looked away one by one.
Suddenly, a burst of neat footsteps came over. Sheng Tianzi and the government officials quickly looked over and saw a team of thirty people, arranged in three teams, walking towards the city hall with neat steps. . The neat silver armor sparkled in the rising sun.
"Stop!" waved by the priest in the front row, the team stopped neatly in front of everyone. A strong and solemn aura rushed towards them, and the eyes of Tendou Kikinochei behind the Holy Emperor were slightly condensed.
As a warrior who has been dealing with swords all year round, the aura of the priests that was like the weight of a giant mountain made his heart tighten at this moment, and his expression became more and more solemn.
"Holy Emperor, long time no see." The leading priest pressed his helmet slightly with his hand, and saw that the layered silver helmet with jet black lenses dissolved like liquid, revealing a face with sharp edges and eyes. Like a deep lake, soft and full, it gives people an approachable yet resolute man.
"Captain Xiangshu, it's been a long time indeed." Shengtianzi stepped forward, stretched out his delicate hands, smiled slightly, and looked at Xiangshu as if he were meeting an old friend.
Xiangshu smiled and held the soft palm of the Holy Emperor, "His Majesty the Holy Emperor is still as charming as ever!"
"That's Captain Aiki. He's a bit more free and easy now than when he was in Tokyo."
The two of them were polite, and then each led his subordinates towards the conference room.
After everyone sat down, the Holy Emperor looked sideways at Xiangshu, who was still smiling, "First of all, on behalf of the citizens of Tokyo, I would like to thank the Holy Church for the rescue." After saying this, the Holy Emperor stood up and smiled slightly at Xiangshu and his group. He bowed, but unlike the Holy Emperor, the officials headed by Tendo Kiku no Cheng seemed to have not seen the move of the Holy Emperor. They were completely unmoved and sat firmly on their chairs with silence on their faces.
Xiangshu looked at the group of bureaucrats who had not yet adjusted their positions in amusement, and ignored them. Instead, he looked at Shengtianzi and nodded slightly, "It is quite good for Your Excellency Shengtianzi to have such a character. At least you know Who saved Tokyo? The Holy Church will not interfere too much with you continuing to rule Tokyo. Instead, it will increase its efforts to support His Excellency the Holy Emperor. However, accordingly, His Excellency the Holy Emperor must fully implement the Holy Church's requirements for Tokyo. ”
But when Tendo Kikunoshin and others heard this, their expressions changed completely. "You are trying to suppress your superiors. Don't you, the Lords of the Holy Church, feel that this is a bit too much!" Tendo Kikushin's eyes were as gloomy as water. He smiled at Xiangshu opposite him.
Xiangshu turned around and inexplicably looked at the old man wearing a samurai kimono with a serious face opposite him, "This must be His Excellency the Chief Assistant of Tokyo. I remember it very clearly! You were the one who vetoed the Holy Temple when he first arrived in Tokyo. The Holy Church’s application to establish a church in Tokyo also caused us some trouble and distress at that time, don’t you think so!”
"I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. What I want to talk about now is whether your attitude towards the Holy Emperor is over the top. Tokyo is an independent country and we have our own independent sovereignty." Tendo Kikunomagi was completely unmoved. , directly denied Xiangshu’s question.
"Haha, sovereignty, let me tell you now, Tokyo exists only with the permission of the Holy Church. As for the independent sovereignty you mentioned, it can only exist after agreeing with the order of the Holy Church. Tendo Kiku no Cheng, let me tell you , don’t take yourself too seriously. In the eyes of the Holy Church, you are just a bunch of useless trash. You have to bow your head no matter what the Holy Church wants to do to you, understand!”
Xiangshu supported his head with one hand, tapping the table gently with one hand, and looked at Tendou Kikunomagi with a teasing look on his face, who had completely darkened.
"Hmph! Such strong words. Since when did Tokyo become a subsidiary of you cultists? I won't admit it." Tendou Kikinochei stood up abruptly and looked at Xiangshu with cold eyes.
"Haha! He doesn't admit it!" Xiangshu joked to the priests around him, and then his face darkened, "If you say you don't admit it, don't admit it. Go and teach him a lesson, tell him what kind of punch it is. right!"
"Yes! Captain!" The two clergymen replied with their heads lowered, and then silently walked towards Tendo Kiku no Cheng.
"What do you want to do! I am the chief minister of a country." Tendo Kikinochei asked in a deep voice.
"Shoufu, not anymore!" Xiangshu replied lightly, and then looked at the pale-faced Holy Emperor with a smile. "Shengtianzi, do you think so?"
The Holy Emperor regained his composure and said, "Captain Xiangshu, do you have to do this?"
"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, there is no doubt about the orders of the Holy Church. Anyone who dares to stand in front of the Holy Church is an enemy. What's more, this old guy is not clean. He has sent people over again and again to cause trouble for the Holy Church. Do you think you are doing a clean job? As everyone knows, there is a god at the top of his head!" Xiangshu's eyes became sharper as he spoke. If it hadn't been for them, those poor children would have been killed by this stubborn old guy with a bomb.
"Guards! Guards! Come in and arrest all these thugs." Tendo Kikinochei ordered in a cold voice to the door. The whole of Tokyo, the guards are in his hands. Do these cultists really think that he is a soft persimmon? !
"Bang!" The door was kicked open with a heavy kick, and the heavily armed guards rushed in immediately, pointing their guns at the clergyman and his party.
Xiangshu looked at this scene coldly, "Sheng Tianzi, you saw it! Your guard is not loyal to you."
After hearing Xiangshu's indifferent words, Sheng Tianzi "slumped down on the chair helplessly."
Xiangshu glanced at the poor puppet silently, and then ordered the priests, "If you dare to resist, no one will be spared!"
"Yes! Captain!" The priests stood up and said, pulled out the knight swords at their waists, and surrounded the guards at the door.
