"understood."
Nana Shikano is a shrine maiden in Naruto Taisha Shrine. Two months was enough for Li Mo to get to know all the shrine maidens. For example, the shrine maiden Axing has a younger sister named Kuki Shinobu.
After informing Nana Kano, Li Mo returned to his room with his hands behind his back and continued to study the manuscript of Harunosuke Korekami.
However, it was obvious that the Eightfold Son of God had no intention of letting Li Mo go, so his idea of studying quietly was almost a delusion.
Soon, Nana Shikano, who he had called earlier, appeared in front of him.
"Nana, what's going on?"
"Mr. Li, Master Yae said that she invites you to visit Inazuma Castle. She is already waiting for you at the gate of Narugami Taisha Shrine."
"?"
What is Yae Shinko going to do?
and many more……
"Priest uniform?"
Li Mo hadn't asked Yae Shinko about the priest yet. He originally thought it was just a joke, but with Zaoyou's meeting... the news that a new priest appeared in Narugami Taisha had probably spread.
I'm probably the last one to know about this.
"I understand. Thank you, Nanako." Li Mo said.
Nana Shikano said, "Um, Li-san, you called me by the wrong name. I'm Nana, not Nanako."
"Well, how about using it as my exclusive name?"
"No."
"That's so cold. Okay, I know, you can go on with your business."
Nana Shikano bowed gracefully and left Li Mo's room. Li Mo changed his clothes and walked to the gate of the shrine.
Yae Shenzi said to wait at the door, so he had to wait at the door? Li Mo didn't believe it. Besides, what would happen to him later?
When I arrived at the door, Yae Kamiko was standing there, still wearing the attire reserved for the chief priest - so did Yae Kamiko change her clothes?
Thoughts jumped up.
Since Li Mo lived in Mingjin Taisha for two months, Yae Kamiko has been wearing the same clothes.
is not it……
"Although I don't know what bold ideas my brother has, what I want to tell you is, please don't say it out loud. Be careful, I might not be able to control myself and beat you up." Yae Shinko said with a smile.
"He threatens with violence when there's a disagreement. Is that really okay? Besides... do I have to maintain the character setting of Yae Shinko's younger brother when I'm outside?" Li Mo asked.
Yae Shinko has many names for himself, and he changes them frequently, and suddenly he calls himself whatever he wants.
But now that he was about to go out, Yae Shenzi even emphasized the word "brother". Li Mo reacted naturally.
"Yes." said Yae Shinko.
"why?"
The two left from the gate of Naruto Taisha Shrine, chatting as they walked.
Yae Miko responded: "Well...how should I put it? I need a 'little brother' to help me."
"So, it doesn't matter who this 'brother' is, Yae-nee?"
"No, ordinary people can't even think of becoming my brother. Well...it's getting late, so let's fly to Inazuma Castle so we can have lunch at Ebony Pavilion."
Yae Shen Zi said, and then she grabbed Li Mo, took off into the air and started flying.
Chapter 113 Respecting Your Friends’ Choices
Narukami Island, Inazuma Castle, the town street, and Uyu-tei.
As one of the best restaurants in Inazuma Castle, Uyoutei is often visited by the bigwigs of the Three Bugyo. The owner, Okazaki Rikuto, is a retired Tenryo Bugyo. Therefore, the Tenryo Bugyo's Yoriki and Tongshin can be seen here from time to time.
"This is why I like this place. The owner won't be extra attentive just because I'm the 'Priest Master.'" Yae Kamiko said.
Li Mo responded, "Do you still care about this?"
Yaejinzi took Li Mo from Yingxiang Mountain all the way to the gate of Inazuma City. A stranger like Li Mo should have been subject to a lot of interrogation, but Tongxin let him go when he saw Yaejinzi.
The chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine, her face is her pass.
The two of them came all the way to Wuyou Pavilion, and there was still some time before lunch. There were still seats inside.
"Why not care? It's very annoying to be disturbed while enjoying delicious food." said Yae Shinko.
"Can fried tofu udon noodles be considered a delicacy? Come to think of it... do you foxes all like to eat fried tofu? I still remember that during the great purification ceremony, one of the spells left by the God was related to fried tofu." Li Mo said.
"Really? I personally like to eat fried tofu. As for Master Kitsaigong... I can't remember. It's been so long, who would remember that?"
The place where Li Mo and Yae Shenzi sat was a small compartment. The two sat facing each other in this small compartment.
"Okay, Master Yamae, may I ask why you brought me to Inazuma City? It can't be just for food and my so-called priest uniform, right?" Li Mo asked.
Yae Shinko said, "Well, you finally lost your temper? Well, I'll tell you, little guy. Do you want to know what message the boy from the Society's magistrate passed on to me?"
"Do not want to know."
"Little guy, if you say that, I can't continue what I'm saying. Is this really a good idea?"
Li Mo said: "Sister Yae, just say whatever you want to say. Why bother asking for my opinion?"
Yae Shinko is a similar person to himself, and Li Mo knows exactly what the other party is thinking. He answered like this to annoy the other party.
Yae Shinko didn't care and said, "The brat from the Kamisato family likes to collect information with a smile on his face and secretly trick the other party. Look, he got the evidence of the transaction between Kanjo Bugyo and the Fatui and threw it directly to me."
Combining the first half of the sentence, Li Mo understood the meaning of the second half. Kamisato Ayato collected the evidence, but was unwilling to come forward herself, so she threw the burden to Yae Shinko to see what she would do.
More importantly, is he trying to find out about Yae Shinko's style of doing things? If there is anyone in Inazuma who has the best chance of changing the "closed country order" that was issued by General Raiden, it would be Yae Shinko.
Oh, if I think about it this way, wouldn't the shrine administrator be someone who acts according to the instructions of "Narakujin Taisha"?
"It seems that you have understood. The boy from the Society's Ministry of Justice wants to see my attitude."
"So, what is Master Yae's attitude?"
He raised his chopsticks and put the fried tofu into his mouth: "As for me, I don't want to get involved in this kind of shit. Here, the information is here, little guy, take a look."
A stack of papers was casually thrown in front of him by Yae Shenzi, but Li didn't pick up the information and read it immediately.
He said, "I look? Why should I look?"
Li Mo knew his position clearly. Although he was promoted by Yae Shinko as a priest of Mingshen Taisha, he was just sorting books at home. He was a civilian, not an administrative staff, and could not bear to see such things.
Yae Shinko: "The information above is related to you."
"I have an outsider...wait."
I have no connection with the Kanjo Bugyo, and I didn't enter Inazuma through formal channels. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to use the channels of Narugami Taisha to whitewash myself.
Most of the time when Inazuma came to Narukami Taisha, she was squatting in Narukami Taisha to read manuscripts and organize books. Before entering Narukami Taisha, she was also doing the divine cherry blossom purification or hanging out with Shibamon Ichiro's group.
Then, Li Mo thought about it...
When I met Shibamon Ichiro, they were attacked by a group of yamabushi. According to the information I learned later, the yamabushi were private soldiers kept outside by a family in the Tenryo Bugyo. And these private soldiers were about to take away the goods and join someone in the Kanjo Bugyo. I don't know what they planned to do afterwards...
From today's perspective, the strength of the group of noboris is not weak, there are nearly ten Kairangui alone. To become a Kairangui, one must not only be strong, but also need to equip armor, weapons, and learn the talisman paper of the Weishen Yin-Yang technique.
Is it...
Li Mo picked up the information given by Yae Shinko and flipped through it. In this information, there was a conspiracy between some members of the Kanjo Bugyo and Kairan Ki.
"What a great example of a superior following the example of a subordinate. The Hiiragi family, as the leader, colluded with the Fatui for the benefit of someone. Some of the people below colluded with the Nobushi, and some changed the rules and regulations to seek benefits from foreign merchants?"
Li Mo raised his head, looked at the Eightfold Divine Son and asked, "Master Eightfold, can the rules and regulations that we have established and followed change so easily?"
"The Kanjo Bugyo is qualified to change the tax rates charged to foreign merchants," said Yae Kamiko.
"Is there any supervision?" Li Mo asked.
"Isn't the only supervision now the castle tower?" said Yae Shinto.
"General Lei Dian, is that so..." Li Mo understood.
In the past, people respected the generals in the castle tower. Therefore, they would not trample on the rules and seek benefits for themselves. But now, five hundred years have passed, and the generals have lived in the castle tower for a long time. Humans are not good at remembering history. Greed is greater than loyalty, and in addition, there was no danger in the first half of their lives. So they began to act recklessly.
There is nothing more deceiving superiors and subordinates than this, and this is what the Kanding Bugxing and Tianling Bugxing did afterwards.
"Master Yamaguchi, aren't you going to do anything?"
"What can I do? General, he is my friend. Just like you and Hanasari... Besides, who knows whether this is right or wrong? The Kanjo Bugyo and Tenryo Bugyo haven't done anything out of line yet." Yae Shinko said, "I've been worrying about this for five hundred years. I don't want to worry about it anymore."
Li Mo didn't say much. What the Kanding and Tianling officials were doing now was indeed the order of the general. The families that had previously colluded with the Yefu people had all been defeated after some unknown power struggle.
——Of course, on the surface it is to enforce the law impartially.
"Where there are people, there is a world of martial arts. I'm beginning to miss the politeness of the Guardian Forest. At least there weren't so many things going on."
"Yes, time can always change everything." said Yae Shinko.
Li Mo unexpectedly understood what the Eightfold Son of God did.
Inazuma’s current situation is the choice of her old friend, and she just respects the choice made by her friend.
Just like how he respected Hanasari and completed the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura for her.
but……
"Master Yamaguchi, do you have any backup plans?"
"Guess?" Yae Shinto looked at Li Mo and said with a smile.
Chapter 114: Clothing Purchasing Guidelines
Yae Shinko and General Raiden have a friendship that goes back hundreds or thousands of years, but no one knows the exact years. This involves the age of a fox, and even the immortal species are particularly sensitive when it comes to age.
Just like a certain old lady. Once the topic of her age is brought up, she wants to make the other person experience what it means to roll her face on the keyboard.
But, according to the nesting doll thinking, maybe the other party is pretending to care about his age? Maybe, Yae Shinko doesn't think his age is a big deal from the bottom of his heart.
The first setting of a certain old lady Zi doesn't care about age, but the second setting does. So what is her attitude in reality?
"I'm full. Little guy, eat quickly, and we'll go to the small warehouse together later." Yae Shinko put his hands on the table and looked at Li Mo with his chin down.
