If it was the former, then it was the communication between the Inazuma officials and the Fatui. That was normal, but if it was the latter, it was different... Why would the head of the Kujo family collude with a foreign power?
Li Mo walked forward and said, "Some time ago, the explosion of the Taling Sand and the destruction of the town objects on the Bayun Island were all caused by the Fatui. This kind of unprovoked workload is the source of my murderous intent.
But... you know what? I really didn't see this kind of idiot, idiot. I asked him, the Fatui are the army of the Kingdom of Winter, which is a completely different organization from the Adventurer's Guild. Isn't he worried? Then he said that in front of General Lei Dian, this kind of problem will not be a problem.
Can you ignore all problems and risks just by relying on General Lei Dian's military power? Then what's the point of having him, and what's the meaning of the Three Privy Covenants?
A dog would be more useful than him."
Li Mo recalled the scene at that time. He should have been disappointed with his friend, but he remembered the look on Kujo Takayuki's face.
He laughed again: "What's more interesting is that I can feel that he said this because of his confidence in General Lei Dian. Ah, I don't quite understand, in his eyes, what is General Lei Dian? Is it faith? But... why do I feel that he regards General Lei Dian as a thug?"
Kamisato Ayaka understood why Kujo Takayuki looked so pale when he left for the last time.
"Linghua, do you know what power is?"
"Probably, it's the general's commission." asked Kamisato Ayaka.
Li Mo said, "Yes, that is power. But that is just a performance. Why can General Raiden have the ability to appoint others? Is it her power? But even if the power is so strong, why has Haigi Island not been formally incorporated into the shogunate system until now?"
"Power seems to come from the top down, but it actually comes from the bottom up. Because the people of Inazuma believe in General Raiden, they follow the rules of the Three Priests. But credibility can be destroyed.
This is what happened with the Eye Hunt Order. When this order was issued, many people chose to resist. The resistance was able to grow to this extent because trust was broken.
However, everyone resisted the Eye Hunting Order, but instinctively believed in General Lei Dian. Everyone understood that the Eye Hunting Order was the general's will... This contradictory cognition was enough to tear everything apart and make people extremely painful. Therefore, it must be said that Coral Palace Xinhai was a very strong woman who could appease those people's thoughts. "
The fact that the rebels could tie with the Tenryo Bugyo was a good achievement. Even with the support of the Society Bugyo and the Fatui, the Tenryo Bugyo had the support of the Kanjo Bugyo, who in turn controlled the entire wealth of Inazuma.
Coral Palace Xinhai seemed to have average military talent. But considering that woman was in charge of everything from internal affairs to military affairs to diplomacy, she was good at everything and did not lag behind in any aspect, which was rare.
Li Mo did not hear Kamisato Ayaka's response, nor was he prepared to hear her response.
After meeting Kujo Takayuki, he once again deeply realized one thing.
In Inazuma, everyone is either a Raiden Shogun Chef or a twisted Raiden Shogun Chef.
Even the people of Kaigi Island still maintained their faith in Kaigi Daigokami, but in reality, they were also used to bathing in the lightning of the Great Goddess.
and so……
"Princess Egret..."
The hatamoto general was about to ask, but the next second, he felt sleepy and passed out.
Li Mo crossed over.
The problem with General Raiden is the problem with Inazuma.
Therefore, the problem of Inazuma only needs to solve the confusion of General Raiden.
He walked through the main gate and looked up at the towering castle tower.
Chapter 413: The Eightfold Son of God Soars into the Sky
Narukami Island, Kagemukaiyama, Narukami Taisha Shrine.
In terms of physical distance, this is the highest place in the entire Narukami Island. Narukami Taisha Shrine is located here, radiating its influence to the surrounding areas from a high vantage point.
In the past, this function was to remove disasters and drive away monsters. But today, the work of shrines is mostly responsible for various festivals.
According to Yae Kamiko, this was a transformation from a military job to a civilian job.
But why not do this?
"It's raining so hard today. The sound of it dripping is so loud that I can't sleep."
Sleepy in spring, tired in summer, exhausted in autumn, and nappy in winter.
Yae Kamiko really enjoys the pleasure of sleeping. Isn't it nice to have a good sleep when you have nothing to do?
In fact, what Yae Shen Zi did not tell Li Mo was that she was much better as the current Palace Master than when she was the Lord of Kitsusai Palace.
At least, the pressure from the Dark Sea has not reappeared.
"Lord Palace Secretary."
"Ah, it's Axing. Just in time, come and change the pot of tea for me."
The tea was brewed last night. Yae Shinko didn't want to drink this cold tea.
Hisayuki Yuki's movements were not slow. It didn't take her long to go out with the teapot and bring it back.
Yae Shinko noticed that the other party's expression was slightly wrong, and said with a smile: "Why, did something happen?"
"Just now, my sister came back."
"Oh? Xing's sister. If I remember correctly, she was clamoring to be a miko and went to study in Liyue. Now she is with the Aradaki sect, right?"
There are few things about Narukami Taisha that can be hidden from her.
Hisagi Yuki's sister, Yae Kamiko, had paid attention to her. She rarely saw such a rebellious child. So she took a special look at her. Sometimes she wanted to capture that child and make him a shrine maiden.
A forced melon is not sweet, but it is interesting, isn’t it?
So, back to reality and thinking about this situation, what made Ayuki's sister come to Narukami Taisha Shrine despite the risk of becoming a shrine maiden?
Realizing this, Yae Shinko asked again: "Did something happen?"
"She said that she ran into the priest last night."
"Oh, you met the little guy, huh? Then what did he do to make your sister rush to Inazuma?"
Jiuqi Xing said: "She said that the priest asked the question 'What is eternity' and left. The strange thing is that my sister said that she was not wary of him during the communication."
My sister has the Eye of God.
At Naruto-no-Mori Shrine, only shrine maidens who have reached the "Mingjie" can possess the God's Eye. At that stage, shrine maidens have entered the realm of seeing the heavens and the earth clearly, with supernatural powers and a thorough understanding of the world. That is actually the highest realm of normal shrine maidens. The next level, "Jingjie", is possessed by the chief priest of Naruto-no-Mori Shrine, and there is only one of them. It is something similar to an honorary status.
So, she has the ability to be wary of anyone.
The ordinary ghosts' deception techniques were useless to her. Secondly, her sister should be extremely wary of anyone from Narukami Taisha Shrine.
"Axing, don't feel strange! You know that the little guy is a fox like me." Yae Shinko said seriously.
This made Hisayuki feel that it was his fault for not realizing the cause.
fox……
Jiuqi Xing was silent for a moment and then said: "I know that the priest is a celestial fox. I have seen the full appearance of the priest when I was in the sand. But...what is the connection between foxes and lack of vigilance?"
"Is Xing wary of me?"
Jiuqi Xing shook his head.
Gong Si knocked his hands and said, "Isn't that right? You see, you are not wary of Gong Si, who has the "Bai Chen bloodline" and is both intelligent and beautiful. Then isn't it normal for your sister to not be wary of the little guy who also has the "Bai Chen bloodline"? "
Hisagi Yuki thought, what kind of logic is this? But the one who said this was the chief priest of Narugami Taisha Shrine.
She didn't argue.
Yae Shinko leaned sideways and opened the window beside him. Through the window, he could see that the sound of the dripping rain was not getting smaller, but getting louder.
"Alas, it's raining so hard, why isn't there any thunder? The general should have sent down a few bolts of lightning to liven things up."
These words were obviously meant to tease the general, and only Lord Palace Administrator could say them.
Jiuqi Yuki was already used to the nonsense from the palace chief. The only thing she could do was to keep silent.
"Axing, do you want to know what the little guy did?"
What I got was still silence.
Yae Shinko shook her head. "Alas, you used to be such a well-behaved and lovely child. But now you have become dull. Alas, the little guy is very useful, but this is why you are not likable."
The chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine has two hobbies. One is listening to other people's stories, and the other is watching other people's troubled expressions. It would be great if the two could be combined into one.
Therefore, if you don't want to be teased by the Palace Master, you have to become dull and boring. Then the Palace Master will lose interest and his attention will not be on you.
In the past, the priestesses were not good at saying this openly, otherwise they would be remembered by the chief priest, but the priest was different. He was not afraid at all and spread the way on how to deal with the chief priest.
"Hey, Axing, you have to know that this time the little guy will have to face the general head-on. Who knows, there might even be a fight."
Half leaning against the window, the rain was reflected in her eyes. Through the hazy scenery, she could vaguely see the towering castle tower in the distance.
Inazuma Castle is a day's journey from Kagemukai Mountain, but for someone like Yae Shinko, it doesn't take a day to get there.
Through some channels, he learned that Li Mo and Kamisato Ayaka set off for the castle tower this morning.
They had only been gone for a day or two, but they had to go to the castle tower. Plus, Hisagi Yuki's sister had to travel overnight...
"Master, why would the priest fight the general?" Upon hearing the news, Jiuqi Xing was stunned at first, and then he couldn't believe it. So he asked.
General, you are special in Inazuma.
Over thousands of years, everyone has been bathed in her lightning, and no one would stand against her.
Seeing Jiuqi Xing's unbelievable expression, Yae Shenzi smiled: "Because he is from Liyue."
"He respects the general, but that doesn't mean he won't let the general make the wrong choice... In fact, Inazuma is not short of such people. It's just that they are not strong enough."
"And it just so happens that the little guy has strength, and he feels that the current Inazuma makes him unhappy."
I think the little guy should have completely understood what the root of Inazuma's problem was.
Jiuqi Xing hesitated: "Then, then... Lord Palace Master, won't you go and take a look?"
"What should I do?"
"The priest won't die just like that, will he?"
"How could that be? That little guy is quite powerful, especially his ability to save his life is top-notch. Hmm...it seems like it would be nice to go watch a show. Sachi, please tell Yingmei that I'm going out."
Yae Shinko finished the tea in his hand, flipped out of the window, and flew away.
Jiuqi Xing saw Yae Shinko, who had already gone far away, and fell silent...
She was still digesting the news...
Chapter 414: Entering the Castle
The castle tower is the highest point in Inazuma Castle and also the "highest" place in the entire Inazuma.
Everyone living in Inazuma Castle can see the towering castle tower when they look up. It was there in the past, it is there now, and it will be there in the future.
