Chapter 729 Chapter 727: Little Suzaku's First Meeting

"So what image do you have of me?" Yang Hui angrily messed up Lelouch's hair.

"Let me go!"

"Hahaha..."

After suppressing Lelouch tightly, Yang Hui turned to look at Suzaku Kururugi: "Suzaku, right?"

"Yes... yes, Your Highness Yang Hui."

"Don't be nervous, this kid is a bit difficult to serve, you should bear with him on weekdays."

"No... no such thing, Your Highness Yang Hui, Lelouch..."

"No need to defend him, I'm his brother, I watched him grow up, and I don't know what kind of personality he has? Arrogant, tsundere, conceited..."

"Yang Hui! I'm really angry!"

"Look, he's irritable."

"Puff~ Hahaha..." Nanali, who was watching the playfulness, couldn't help laughing out loud, and the clear and pleasant laughter instantly quieted the noise, soothing Yang Hui's bad taste and Lelouch's anger.

"Nunali..." Lelouch pouted and complained. It's fine if he didn't help him, but he also laughed at him. But he was a sister-con and couldn't get angry with Nunnali.

"Well, the person who picked me up is here. Your Highness Yang Hui, Lelouch, Nunnali, please allow me to say goodbye first." Kururugi Suzaku saw the car that picked him up parked at the school gate and said to Yang Hui and others.

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

"Hey, little Suzaku." When Kururugi Suzaku was about to leave, Yang Hui called him.

"Your Highness Yang Hui, is there anything else?"

"Nothing, just want to say more, your father is your father, you are you, just be yourself."

"This... Your Highness Yang Hui, I don't understand." Kururugi Suzaku really didn't understand. He was still a little kid now, and he was very simple. He hadn't experienced the baptism of cruelty, so he couldn't understand these great principles.

"It's okay, just remember it. One day in the future, you will understand."

"This...Okay, Your Highness Yang Hui, I remember it."

After bowing again, Suzaku Kururugi ran to the car that was waiting for him, but he stopped again when he passed by Fujido Kagashiro who was guarding the car, and exclaimed: "Master Fujido!"

But when he looked up, he saw a man wearing a mask, and he couldn't see his face clearly. What's more, he was holding a knight sword instead of a samurai sword. Suzaku Kururugi suspected that he had recognized the wrong person.

"I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." Suzaku Kururugi apologized quickly. He was a student of Fujido Dojo and had learned kendo from Fujido Kagashiro. After hearing about Fujido Kagashiro's affairs, he didn't believe that Fujido Kagashiro would betray him, but he couldn't prove it or change it.

After Fujido Kagashiro was sentenced to death, he has not been able to get out of the shadow of sadness until now. Maybe that's why he recognized the wrong person.

Fujido Kagashiro's face under the mask suddenly twitched. He didn't expect that Suzaku Kururugi could recognize him. Fortunately, the other party said that he recognized the wrong person, so he was relieved. He didn't answer, but just nodded in response.

It was not until Suzaku Kururugi got on the car that the butler who came to pick him up asked him: "Master, what did His Highness Yang Hui say to you? And who is that person?"

This butler is the butler who takes care of Suzaku Kururugi, and is also a spy sent by Kururugi Xuanwu to Suzaku Kururugi. His biggest role is to find out how the relationship between Suzaku Kururugi and Lelouch and Nunnally is progressing at the first time.

But today, there are other major gains.

"His Highness Yang Hui just told me..."

Then, Suzaku Kururugi told the butler the whole process of his contact with Yang Hui just now. He hated this feeling. He had no secrets every minute and every second, and he had to be monitored and understood by others.

But this was his father's order to him, so he had to do it.

"I see, I know. Then who is that person, young master?"

"That person?"

"It's the person who stood in front of the car of Yang Hui and asked you to stop."

"I don't know him."

"Don't know?"

"Yes, I don't know him, but when I passed by him, I seemed to see Master Fujido, so I recognized the wrong person." When Fujido was mentioned, Suzaku Kurumi's expression dimmed, his eyes were red, he argued, defended, and tried, but no one believed him, including his senior brothers and sisters who had a good relationship and respected Fujido Kagashiro.

"I see, young master, you should let it go earlier. No matter what the truth is, this matter has already had a final result. If you continue to be troubled by it, it will affect your physical health and study life."

"Well, I see." He agreed, but how could it be so simple? Suzaku Kurumi had self-doubt for the first time. Was his father's words right? Is the truth really not important?

...

On the other side, Yang Hui also picked up Lelouch and Nunnally, oh, yes, and Mirei to go back to Ashford's house.

Even if the new Governor's Mansion is built, Yang Hui does not plan to take Lelouch and Nunnally to live in the Governor's Mansion. First, the new Governor's Mansion is farther away from Ashford Academy, and it is not so convenient for them to go to school; second, they are good friends with Mirei, and they have lived together for several years and are used to each other's existence. In this case, why should Yang Hui be the bad guy?

After dinner, he played with Lelouch and Nunnally for a while, and tutored Nunnally and Mirei's homework, and then Yang Hui returned to the temporary Governor's Mansion.

"Your Highness, Master Shumu almost recognized me today." After returning, Todo Kaishiro immediately reported to Yang Hui. This was also an act of self-proof. After all, Yang Hui couldn't have missed the scene when Shumu Suzaku called him, even if He didn't see it, but Regeni Rejeta, who was standing next to him at the time, also saw it.

"I didn't fully recognize you, that's fine." To be honest, Yang Hui was so frightened at the time that he couldn't see his face at all. If Toudo Kaishiro had changed his costume and been recognized by Shumu Suzaku, then this joke would be a joke. Big.

"But you should be more careful in the future and avoid contact with him as much as possible."

"Yes, your highness."

"Not bad, pretty standard."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."

"Okay, there is no need to be so rigid in private, Todo, or... do you regard me as your lord?"

"...Your Highness may be disappointed."

"That's really a shame."

To be honest, Todo Kaishiro has been observing Yang Hui and found that there are many things about Yang Hui that are beyond his imagination, such as his private personality, which is casual, free and easy, and sinister. He is not like a prince at all, but during a duel, Yang Hui was so clean and tidy, and when he criticized the Sakura Country audience at the end, he was domineering and mighty, as tall and straight as a pillar between heaven and earth.

He found that the more detailed he observed, the blurrier Yang Hui's image in his mind became. Too many aspects merged together and turned into vague chaos.

…

"You said Suzaku mistook that person for Todo?" Shumu Xuanwu asked after the butler's report.

"The young master indeed said that."

"Hmm...what do you think?"

"I think the young master was still immersed in sadness and admitted his mistake for a while. After all, he was dead."

"...really dead?"

"master?"

"You go down first."

"yes."

After the housekeeper left, Shumu Xuanwu sat alone in the study, with only the dim lamp still on.

"Todo...hehe, it seems you have made a choice? No, it should be...did we force you to make a choice?"

Somu Genwu knew very well that Todo Keishiro was still alive and Somu Suzaku really recognized him. Originally Somu Genwu was only in the suspicion stage, even though he confirmed Todo Keishiro's "corpse" with his own eyes and saw " "The body" was pushed into the cremation room, but he always had a hunch that Todo Kaishiro would not die so easily.

And now... he confirmed that Todo Kaishiro was indeed not dead, but had just changed his identity and followed Yang Hui.

As for why...hehe, do I need to say more?

"No, it's better to confirm it in person. By the way, there's also Chisong. You should be able to recognize him."

Thinking of this, Shumu Xuanwu immediately called Chisong.

…

After some time, the fleet returned to Sakura Country, taking with it the other half of the [Nightmare] Knights.

After confirming that everyone had arrived safely, Yang Hui sent the Fourth Fleet back to China to resume operations. The port in the concession could not accommodate the docking of the two fleets.

"Oh, oh, oh, is this our new stronghold? It's really empty!" Lloyd sighed as he looked at the new stronghold.

"Let's arrange it well, we will stay here for a long time." Yang Hui said to them.

"No problem, Cecil, let them bring the equipment over first and arrange the equipment first."

"Okay, Mr. Lloyd."

"Lloyd, don't take up my space!"

"Well~ don't worry about these little things, Lakshata."

"How is this a trivial matter!? Have you forgotten that I am the director of the scientific research department!?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten it, but I am also a deputy minister, and the authority given to me by His Highness is the same as yours."

"That's a deputy too! Go aside!"

"Eh? So heartless."

"Mr. Lloyd~"

"Eh~! Cecil, calm down!"

After arranging the affairs of [Nightmare]'s new station, Yang Hui summoned Lloyd, Laksharta, Jeremiah, Veretta, and Joan Luo. These are the core senior leaders of [Nightmare] Knights. .

"Let's each report the situation."

"Your Highness, the control of the original garrison has been completed, and all those who should be eliminated have been eliminated."

"Ah, very good."

"Then it's our side." Lakshatta glared at Lloyd, and then said, "The cost of the sixth-generation Knightmare Gloster still cannot be reduced. The people in the military think that Sunderland is more cost-effective. , so it was decided to mass-produce Sunderland, and Gloster will still be produced in small quantities as a vehicle for elite troops. The development of the seventh-generation Knightmare has hit a bottleneck and will take some time.”

"Well, it was expected." The choice of the military department and the results of Lakshata and others were all within Yang Hui's expectations, and there were no surprises.

"And there's that, it's done," Lakshatta said.

"Has it been tested?"

"not yet."

"I understand. Let's find an opportunity and then find a suitable target for testing. For now, let's arrange the various departments and let them operate normally."

"Yes, your highness."
