After several unsuccessful attempts, Yae Shinto looked at him with a half-smile, but there was a hint of undisguised anger in his eyes.
Ueno Chiki's heart was filled with alarm and he let go immediately, but he was a step too late.
Yae Shinto suddenly retracted her jade feet and then kicked him hard in the vitals.
"Den!"
He and his chair fell backwards to the ground.
Lei Dianying, Yingmei and Paimeng were a little confused by the noise. They stopped what they were doing and looked at him in confusion.
"It's okay, the chair is just broken." He said quickly, trying hard to endure the severe pain coming from his vital parts.
Seeing that he was not seriously injured, the three of them continued to enjoy the food on the table.
And the culprit of all this was leisurely enjoying her favorite fried tofu, as if all this had nothing to do with her.
Ueno Chiki could only cry without tears.
Chapter 85 About Haizhi Island
After lunch, Yingmei took Paimon out to continue searching for Thundergod's Eye.
Ueno Chiki, Lei Yingdi and Yae Kamiko sat cross-legged on the floor and continued to discuss the Inazuma reform.
"Ueno Chiki, what do you think about Kaijima?" Lei Dianying suddenly asked.
Ueno Chiki frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
After "entering the castle tower and correcting the emperor's words", the resistance army on Kaijima did not disband, but instead remained on alert and proposed negotiations with the Inazuma shogunate.
After a long while, he slowly said, "To completely solve the problem of Haizhi Island, we need to start from two aspects. The first is food. The reason why Haizhi Island has been invaded repeatedly is because the land is barren and cannot support so many sea dwellers. Such a surplus population is just consumed in the war."
After hearing this, Yaesugi and Lei Diandian looked gloomy.
In fact, they are more or less aware of this problem, but the key point is that Inazuma is not rich either!
Among the three main islands of Inazuma, only Narukami Island and Yami Island have fertile land, while the land of Kamizuka is polluted by thunder from the Tadashi Sand and cannot be cultivated. Inazuma needs to use the food from two islands to feed the residents of the three islands.
"The second is the issue of history and faith. After the General killed the great snake Orobas, he allowed Kaiji Island to continue to believe in it, causing hatred to continue for hundreds of years."
Lei Dianying coughed lightly, "There is actually something behind this. Although the great snake Orobas was no match for me, the difference in strength was not that big. If it was a normal battle, the war would have lasted for at least several decades or even a hundred years before a winner was decided. This would have brought endless disasters to the people of both sides, so he proposed to me that he would take the initiative to welcome Wuxiang's sword in exchange for the eternal existence of his faith."
After hearing this, Ueno Chiki's long-standing doubts were suddenly resolved. No wonder Kaijima had been constantly invading Inazuma for hundreds of years, and Lei Dianying never took the initiative to attack. It was not that she was unaware of the situation, but that she had an agreement with Orobasi.
Yae Shinko stretched out her slender fingers, gently picked up the teacup on the ground, took a sip, cast a meaningful look at him, and said calmly: "Ueno Chiki, tell me your solution, I know you definitely have one."
After feeling her gaze, Ueno Chishu shuddered and said quickly, "The first problem is actually not difficult to solve. We need to vigorously develop agricultural technology, learn from the advanced agricultural experience of Xumi and Fontaine, increase the unit grain yield per mu, and use the land area efficiently."
This series of professional terms made Lei Dianying feel a little dizzy and he didn't understand why.
"As for the second problem, it's actually not that difficult to solve. After solving the food problem on Haizhi Island, we can work with the Coral Palace to revise the history of several hundred years ago."
Lei Dianying was even more confused after hearing this. "Revise history? What do you mean?"
Ueno Chiki explained: "The hatred between Kaijima and the Inazuma Shogunate has lasted for hundreds of years. It has not eased with the passage of time, but has become more profound. We need to change the perception of the people of Kaijima. Orobasi and the general were good friends hundreds of years ago, but the witch under Orobasi was polluted by the abyss and instigated the hatred between Kaijima and the Inazuma Shogunate, which eventually led to a war."
Lei Dianying frowned, obviously disagreeing with his approach, but did not speak out against it.
Yae Shinko was full of appreciation, "This is indeed a good way to resolve hatred. In a few days, the negotiations between the Inazuma Shogunate and Kaijima will be handed over to you."
After hearing this, Ueno Chiki had a very absurd feeling that he, a former spy of Kaishima, went to Kaishima to negotiate on behalf of the Inazuma shogunate.
"Can you refuse?"
Yae Shinko smiled slightly and said softly, "No."
"Okay then." Ueno Chiki replied resignedly.
"Little guy, do your job well. If you do well, I will give you some rewards." Yae Shinko's tone was full of temptation.
"Master Yae, forget it. I can't afford your reward."
"I haven't told you what the reward is yet. Maybe it's something you want."
"No, I don't want anything."
Seeing his stubborn look, Yae Shinto felt a little disappointed.
After chatting for a while, Lei Dianying and Yae Kamiko got up and left.
After the two left, Ueno Chiki finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This girl, Yae Kamiko, is so charming that her every move can always stir people's heartstrings.
He compared Yingmei and Yae Shinko, and there was only one conclusion: cuteness is nothing compared to sexiness.
........
In the afternoon sun, a girl dressed in a white winter robe walked quietly on the streets of Inazuma Castle's commercial district.
Her long black hair was as deep as the night, with ginger-red highlights in it, like a touch of afterglow from the setting sun, adding a unique color to her black hair. Her eyes were covered by a mesh veil, and she wore a six-winged headdress on the back of her head.
The girl closed her eyes and slightly opened her lips. Her face was expressionless, yet she gave people a deep sense of calmness and serenity. It was a kind of peace that emanated from the depths of her heart, as if no matter how the world changed, she could remain herself and not be disturbed.
She stopped at the counter of Yaedo and said to Kuroda, "Boss, can you get me a copy of "My Husband is Powerless, and As an Executive Officer, I Have No Choice but to Take the Path of Immorality"? "
Kuroda was shocked in an instant. He didn't expect that a girl with such a pure and innocent appearance would actually ask for such a borderline novel.
He felt that the world was sinful and that Chiki Ueno deserved to die, polluting the innocence before his eyes.
"This novel has been banned." After being shocked, Kuroda replied.
"Then there should be "Young Dally Duck" and "Night Shift Ward: The Threatened Deputy Head Nurse," the girl asked.
Kuroda really wanted to answer her that he had none of them, but his professional ethics did not allow him to do so.
"Excuse me, are you an adult?"
adult?
This word was too distant for her. She couldn't even remember how many years she had lived, a thousand years or ten thousand years.
"I'm an adult now." The girl said coldly.
When Kuroda gave the two books to the girl, he felt like he was committing a crime.
"Thank you." The girl picked up the two novels, said thank you, and turned and left.
Looking at the girl's departing back, Kuroda always felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and realized that she hadn't paid yet!
Chapter 86: First Encounter with a Girl
The night is as cool as water. The tranquility and depth of the night make people feel as if they are immersed in an endless deep sea. The starry night sky is like countless sparkling gems, casting silver light and illuminating this peaceful world.
The cold wind blew from afar, bringing with it a hint of chill, like a stream of clear water, penetrating the clothes and invading the skin, making Ueno Chiki feel a deep chill.
He walked briskly to a secluded residence and knocked gently on the door.
"The door is not locked, come in." A pleasant and ethereal girl's voice came from inside the house.
When Ueno Chiki opened the door, what came into his sight was a young girl sitting upright in a chair, reading a novel with great interest.
He recognized the girl at a glance as Columbia, the Fatui executive girl.
After he approached and felt his gaze, Columbia put down the novel, looked him up and down carefully, and suddenly said, "Code name 9527, I feel like you seem to know me."
He was suddenly startled and quickly explained: "Young lady, I don't know you, but a colleague mentioned you before."
Columbia shook her head slightly, "That's not the case."
But she didn't ask any further questions, instead she lowered her head and continued reading the novel.
?
A big question mark arose in Ueno Chiki's mind, and he couldn't understand what her action meant.
After a long while, he finally couldn't help but said, "Young lady, may I ask what instructions you have?"
Hearing the noise, Columbia put down the novel in a daze and looked around in confusion, then she realized her situation.
Her fair face suddenly turned red, and she was extremely annoyed. Why did she suddenly lose focus? It was really embarrassing.
"Uh, code name 9527, I, I, don't have any instructions."
No instructions? Then why did you call me over?
Ueno Chiki managed to hold back the urge to complain and said calmly, "Since the young lady has no other instructions, I will go back first."
Just as he was about to push open the door, the girl's anxious voice came, "Code 9527, you, you, don't leave yet."
He turned around and looked at her in confusion, not sure what she wanted to do.
"I came here this time to rebuild Inazuma's Fatui organization." Columbia finally made her purpose clear.
"So, young lady, has the organization provided funding this time?" Ueno Chiki asked directly.
Columbia looked confused, "Funding?"
Ueno Chiki patiently explained, "My lady, Inazuma's organization is in trouble and cannot be rebuilt because of a lack of funds. No outsiders are willing to join our organization, and no one from the Winter Solstice is willing to come."
"Ah?!" Columbia had never expected this to happen. No wonder no one except the idiot Tartaglia was willing to come.
"Codename 9527, what should we do now?"
Ueno Chiki tried to ask: "How about you go back and ask the organization for funding?"
Columbia shook her head decisively, "No, the rich man Pantalone's face is too stinky, I don't want to see him."
"There's nothing we can do about it. These days we have to use Mora for everything." Ueno Chiki sighed.
Hearing this, Columbia remembered that she had not yet given Mora the money she had to buy the novel for today, but she did not have the habit of carrying money with her.
So, she turned her gaze to Ueno Chiki, "Codename 9527, do you have Mora? Can you lend me some?"
"......"
Chiki Ueno took his purse speechlessly. Since joining the Fatui, he has been working at his own expense, and is truly an excellent employee in the eyes of the capitalists.
"My lady, the Mora I have is not enough to rebuild the Inazuma Fainthead branch."
Columbia put away the purse and nodded slightly, "I know, so there is no need to set up a branch."
