The God of War
Zhou's Request
"Stop!!"
Amidst the current tension, Zhou suddenly began to stop everything with his orders, making the two soldiers who were accompanying Takeda soldiers also stopped right as they stood in front of the truncheon.
"What's up, Commander Zhou? Why did you stop him all of a sudden. Do you want to say something?" prince Toshie was still sitting there.
Zhou took a few steps and faced the prince. His conscience cannot accept all this. Because the Takeda warrior he had known all along was an honest and talented warrior. Zhou was suspicious that Takeda's soldiers were under someone's pressure.
The death penalty for him according to Zhou was indeed very appropriate, because he had betrayed and tried to eliminate the prince Toshie and himself. But it will not be effective, because there will still be a mastermind hiding behind him freely and laugh annoyingly for sure.
To uproot plant pests, it must be from the roots! If not, then it will all be for free! Perhaps that was what Zhou was thinking at the moment.
He also felt unbearable, because if the warrior Takeda had to receive the death penalty for the wrongs of others.More today he has a family that he must live, even his son is still small.
Goddamnit!! What is Zhou planning?! Why did he suddenly stop all this?! Danger if he saves Takeda and makes Takeda open his mouth!!
Inner Luoyi was full of vigilance and looked at the distant Zhou daei with his growl.
"Prince, please give me some time to investigate this matter. I will find out what really happened at the palace" Zhou said, hoping that Prince Toshie would grant his request.
"Commander Zhou! Takeda's soldiers have been found guilty! And he has admitted everything! Then what else to investigate?! There's nothing to investigate anymore, Commander Zhou!" rest a Daimyo who was also in this courtyard to witness the execution of the penalty of beheading for Takeda soldiers.
"really. Investigating him would be a waste of our time, Commander Zhou." said the Shogun.
"That's absolutely right, Commander Zhou! Takeda's soldiers have confessed everything. Then why still prolong this problem?" this time Luoyi also started talking.
A Daimyo who was the father of Luoyi fell silent observing all of this. And in fact he felt very relieved that Zhou had stopped the execution of this beheading for a while.
Because all this time he knew enough Takeda soldiers well. You could say they were good friends with each other. And he also felt that there was something strange about the matter going on in the palace at the moment.
While the prince looks so confused to make a decision what. Although his little heart was also turbulent and denied that the Takeda warriors could do such a thing, but of course the prince also felt very disappointed and wrathful.
"I just want to check something and make sure, Prince. Give me some time before the full moon comes. If I cross that line I still haven't found anything, then the prince can give the penalty of beheading it to Takeda soldiers. And as long as I do all that, Takeda's soldiers will remain in our custody. He'll be put in a dungeon until he's proven guilty or not."
Zhou said his plan.
"All right! I will delay this punishment! As the commander of Zhou said, if even until the moon comes the commander still has not found anything, then this punishment will still be given to Takeda!" the Toshie prince.
Everyone who attended this place instantly became restless with all his arguments. While Luoyi looked so annoyed and furious hearing the decision from prince Toshie. He also increasingly looked at Zhou from a distance with hatred.
Goddamn bum!!! Fucking Zhou!! How dare he!! I can't get caught!! Takeda can't open his mouth!! Otherwise, everything would become even more messy!! Ughh ... How is this? What am I supposed to do?!
Inner Luoyi became agitated on his own.
"Okay, Prince!" Zhou lowered his head and linked his fist.
"Guards!! Take him to the dungeon! And always keep a close eye on him!" tell the prince in a firm voice.
"Okay, Prince!" said some of the guards then immediately led Tekeda soldiers to put him in the dungeon.
Takeda soldiers had glanced at Zhou with eternal gazes and gratitude for trusting him. But he could not avoid, actually he was still so worried about the son who was still in the control of Luoyi. Now he can only resign himself, hoping that luck will take his side, and that Zhou will be able to uncover everything and protect his family.
...⚜⚜⚜...
Day after day just passed by. The dungeon guard was also heavily guarded. No one is allowed to enter the place easily. Even Luoyi could not enter it at all.
Until finally one day, Luoi secretly put hemlock poison into the food that will be sent to Takeda soldiers.
Luoyi was still worried that the Takeda warrior would completely dismantle all of his guises, until Luoi finally made that decision. Using a small amount of hemlock poison to finish off Takeda's soldiers led him to his death.
All the soldiers and guards of the dungeon early in the morning had been startled by the corpse of the Takeda warrior who had begun to stiffen. But one of them said that during dinner, he saw Takeda mixing something resembling a powder into his dinner.
The next morning they saw Takeda was dead. Until finally they thought if the Takeda soldiers did deliberately do all this, namely suicide! But all this is just a coincidence.
Because Luoyi was the mastermind behind the death of the Takeda warrior. Because the powder mixed by Takeda soldiers into his food was actually an herbal medicine that he used to consume to overcome the pain he felt in his body. Or rather, it is just a vitamin.
However it seems like fate and luck are on Luoyi's side. So that no one is under suspicion at this time for the death of the Takeda soldiers. And they say that Takeda's soldiers committed suicide that night
This was very unfortunate for Zhou. While Zhou was trying to help him get out of all that trouble, the Takeda soldier chose instead to end his life so tragically. He would rather leave his beloved family.
