Shuten Doji shrugged:

"For Changzhou, this Eastern Expedition is indeed a disaster. But for us, this is not a bad thing."

Umibozu and Su Nuo looked directly at Shuten Doji - their meaning was very obvious, urging Shuten Doji to continue talking and explain in detail what this "good thing" meant.

After Shuten Doji sorted out his words for a moment, he slowly said:

"The radical elements headed by Hisaka Genzui firmly controlled the feudal government of Choshu."

"They are just a bunch of lunatics who cannot understand human speech. There is absolutely no value in cooperating with them."

"Therefore, I have high hopes for Choshu's Eastern Expedition - if Kusaka Genrui and others can suffer all casualties in this Eastern Expedition, that would be great."

Speaking of this, Shuten Boyzi curled up his lips.

"In this way, we can take advantage of the situation and push Katsura Kogoro to the position, making him the actual leader of Choshu in one fell swoop."

"In this way, this will be a great benefit to our next 'plan'."

"To sum up, Katsura Kogoro is very important. Anyone in Changshu can die, but he cannot make any mistakes."

"So, Prajna, I'll trouble you to make another trip."

As soon as Shuten Dozi finished speaking, Prajna spat vigorously.

"Can't you change me to someone else? I can't get along with that guy. He's too old-fashioned. I like people who are more casual. Frankly speaking, I really don't want to be his bodyguard anymore."

Shuten Doji seemed to have expected Hannya's rejection.

He smiled slightly and put on a meaningful tone:

"Then, in order to revive your lack of motivation, I will give you a small reward - after that, I will ask Otakemaru to compete with you again."

When Prajna heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Is this true?"

Shuten Doji nodded.

"really."

"He won't hold back?"

"I'll let him try his best without killing you."

Having said this, Shuten Doji paused for a moment, and then changed into a half-joking, half-serious tone.

"But... I'll start with my ugly words. Although you are much stronger than when you first joined us, you are still no match for Otakemaru."

"If you were to face Otakemaru now... let me think about it... you might still be killed instantly by him!"
