She had originally received Thomas's message and wanted to say hello to Fang Yun, and by the way, ask him why he joined the Tianling Fengxing. After all, even if she put aside her personal factors, Fang Yun's identity as a disciple of the Eightfold Son of God alone made her pay attention to him. Strictly speaking, Fang Yun is her boss, and subordinates cannot contradict their bosses. But the battle situation was complicated, and later the ronin warriors revealed that the Kanjo Bugyo was cooperating with the Fatui. She and Fang Yun were both thinking about how to make the arrangements, and they didn't talk much to each other. "Indeed, the last time we met was at the festival half a year ago." Fang Yun said with some emotion. Although they said they were at the festival, in fact, neither of them participated. They just stood on the hillside of Narukami Taisha Shrine and looked at the bright lights of Inazuma Castle. "Come to think of it, compared to that time, Linghua, you seem to be a lot more beautiful." Ling "Mr. Fang Yun is really good at talking. No wonder Qi Liangliang is so attached to you." Fang Yun didn't think he was complimenting her. The graceful silver-haired girl in front of him was indeed becoming more and more eye-catching. Turtle! It's a pity, it would be better if she could change her hairstyle. Kamisato Ayaka seemed to sense the sincerity in his words and smiled with satisfaction.
Although he had heard a lot of praise from others, Fang Yun was handsome after all. Even the simple demons knew that they had to decide how to repay a favor based on appearance. Afterwards, Fang Yun and Kurosawa Kyōnosuke left together. Kamisato Ayaka looked at his back with a look of reminiscence in her eyes, and her thoughts went back to the night half a year ago when the stars were falling like rain and the lights were bright. In fact, the tacit understanding between her and Fang Yun was not without reason. The reason why she asked Thomas to pay attention to Fang Yun was because of their meeting that day. At that time, she did not participate in the festival due to her status. She went to the Naruto Grand Shrine to worship when she had nothing to do. Fang Yun was also constrained by his status and could only stand on the side of the mountain and silently watch the festival in the city. Neither of them spoke at the time and they were standing some distance apart, but with a quick glance at each other before parting, they both knew each other's "secrets" and felt the helplessness of being bound by their identities. Before this, Kamisato Ayaka had never thought that Fang Yun, a disciple of the Eightfold Son of God, would have the same troubles as herself. "No, to be precise, I feel the same way. Who would have thought that Princess Egret's wish was just to attend a festival as an ordinary person?" She sighed in her heart. But now it seems that Fang Yun has broken free from the shackles, but she still feels helpless. Chapter 21: General Raiden: I understand at the same time. Castle tower. Two hatamoto generals stood guarding the gate on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, with serious expressions. The hatamoto warriors are guards directly under the command of General Raiden. Although everyone knows that they are "security guards" who are just for show, it is a great honor for Inazuma to be able to guard the door for the general. however-- "Lord Palace Secretary!" Facing the cherry-haired shrine maiden coming towards them, the two men who had just had stern faces hurriedly bowed their heads in salute, fully demonstrating the traditional craftsmanship of Inazuma. Although the Naruto-Ohana Shrine has not been directly involved in the shogunate's political affairs for the past five hundred years, no one dares to look down on the god's followers and friends. Yae Miko nodded in response, carrying the light novels and snacks that she had prepared long ago, and went up the stairs to the castle tower.
Of course, considering the Shogun's majestic image in the eyes of his subjects, Yae Kamiko was very considerate and put the light novels and snacks into completely unrelated gift boxes, just like there are always some "private delivery" couriers in Komagariya. Image: "Cute emoticons", location: "Images/" "The chief priest has come to discuss important matters with His Majesty the Great Palace again." "Palace Master is indeed a follower of the gods. Every time they discuss something, they always dismiss everyone. They have such a good relationship... Wow, Palace Master is still as elegant and holy as before." Hearing the maids whispering in the distance and looking at her with respect and admiration, the fox ears on Yae Shinko's head moved and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. Although the fox fairy has thousands of faces, she still pays great attention to her image of "wisdom and beauty" in front of outsiders. However, she could hide it from the maid, but not from General Lei Dian. In the martial arts arena, General Raiden, who was practicing swordsmanship with a katana, sheathed his sword and looked at her in surprise: "Son of God? Are you here to give her snacks and light novels again?" "Oh, that's right. It's you, the general, who enjoys the food every time." "I don't like sweets like she does, and she only needs to enjoy the taste in the Pure Land, but I have to bear the wear and tear on my body." General Raiden's face was slightly dissatisfied, as Shadow abandoned his body and went into a pure land of meditation, but he often ate with the excuse that "sweets will not affect the pursuit of eternity", which made the general very irritated. Seeing the change in General Raiden's expression, Yae Shinko still had a faint smile on her face: "General, you are quite cute sometimes. I thought you only cared about handling official business and practicing swordsmanship." To be honest, Yae Kamiko always felt that the cold, arrogant and somewhat silly general seemed more attractive than her taciturn old friend. Apart from anything else, the general's bewilderment when the politicians said the CPU was overloaded during the assessment meeting, and the contrast with her usual heroic temperament, which man can resist it? The fox fairy's sinister nature even made her guess in her heart that if the general and Ying fell in love with the same person, Ying, the apparent wife, would become the loser. According to the words in Fang Yun's novels, by then Ying would probably be begging the general pitifully in his pure land, "Please, another me." General Lei Dian was well aware of the evil nature of the fox fairy in front of him and continued to respond coldly. "Although I was created by her, I also inherited everything from her. Even though I act according to the principle of [eternity], it does not mean that I do not have my own ideas." "Really? Have you ever considered whether the eternity you are pursuing is correct?" Facing the sudden temptation from the Eightfold Son of God, General Thunder narrowed his eyes and his tone gradually became cold: "I am her past, the unchanging law of the ages, and the guardian of eternity. If you want to destroy [eternity], I will not forgive you even if you are the one." She inherited Rai Dian Ying's body and memories and is her shadow warrior. In a sense, it is like the relationship between Raiden Shin and Rai Dian Ying in the past. She also regarded Yae Godson as a relative and friend, allowing him to overstep his authority occasionally, but whenever they talked about "eternity", the two would always have a very awkward argument. After a moment's silence, General Lei Dian took the initiative to break the silence. "I know you, Shenzi, are dissatisfied with the Eye Hunting Order and the Closure Order, but you also know that this is the [eternity] that Ying and I are chasing. To put it bluntly, sealing off wishes is like being like a turtle, but turtles are a symbol of longevity... At least in this way, Inazuma will not repeat the mistakes of Kanreya, and Inazuma's people will not bear that cruel curse." "So, you and her are really hopelessly paranoid. Even if Inazuma continues like this, what's the point of it being just an empty shell?" Yae Shinko looked fearlessly at General Raiden. Even she couldn't suppress the emotions deep in her heart: "I don't blame you, nor do I blame her. I just can't accept that the pure warrior who once feared nothing now only wants to escape." "...You said all this just to wake her up, right?" General Lei Dian was not angry, but sighed softly. Whether sending snacks or light novels, it is essentially to maintain contact with the Shadow, but over the past five hundred years, the Shadow has become increasingly self-isolating, and his meetings with the Son of God have become less and less frequent.
Since the Eye Hunting Order and the National Lock Order, Ying has completely closed off his own pure land and completely lost contact with the Son of God. "You figured it out? But it's not entirely for her. I'm saying these words to you as well." Yae Shenzi did not hide her sad expression. She was very worried about Ying's current condition. However, although the opportunity has not yet arrived, Inazuma's situation can still be improved a little. "Since we can't wake her up, let's talk about our business. I don't expect you to revoke the Eye Hunting Order and the National Closure Order, but Inazuma has been in a lot of trouble lately that needs to be dealt with." "Trouble? Don't exaggerate. I know everything about Eternity." General Lei Dian thought she was talking about the Fatui's promotion of the Eye Hunting Order and the National Closure Order. "You..." Yae Shinko looked helpless, "If you really knew everything, I wouldn't have come here today. Let me ask you, did you know that two of Inazuma's three magistrates were traitors to the country?" "Impossible, absolutely impossible." General Lei Dian shook his head decisively. If that were the case, wouldn't she become the Gin mentioned in the novel Cat Man 2? Although she didn't like reading light novels, she still found it quite outrageous. In such a large organization, the only loyal brother was Vodka, who looked stupid. "I haven't finished yet. Do you know what those Fatui have done? They pushed the war forward, have been supplying supplies to the rebels, unsealed the talisman you set up to suppress Orobas, and even wanted to kidnap the orphans created by the war and return them to Winterfell. Do you know this?" "What did you say...Why is the situation in Inazuma like this?" General Raiden was stunned for a moment, and then a strong murderous intent emerged in his purple eyes. She had heard everything about the resistance army, and although the magistrate said that the war had reached a stalemate, she thought that the shogunate soldiers had an absolute advantage in manpower, and if a fight broke out they would definitely have the advantage, so she didn't take it seriously at all. She had never imagined that this war would have such serious consequences, nor had she expected the Fatui to be so rampant. As for whether the story is true or not, there is no need to doubt it. Although Yae Shinko likes to have fun, he would never joke with himself about such things. "You just stayed in the castle tower, so of course you didn't know what those officials did without telling you. The people in Inazuma Castle are now boiling with resentment." "...I will investigate it myself." Yae Shenzi nodded: "That would be the best, but you can't do it alone. Your level of handling government affairs is a complete replica of Ying, which is frustrating... I will arrange for Fang Yun to go to the shogunate. He will assist you in eliminating the two magistrates, but remember to show your respect for him at the next evaluation meeting." "Attention?" General Lei Dian chewed on the word and nodded thoughtfully: "I understand." Ming Shen Tianzi: Chapter 22: Mindscape, Inherent Boundary After hearing what Yae Shinko said, General Raiden realized that Inazuma's problem was not something she could solve on her own. As far as the use of force is concerned, she has no fear, but many things cannot be solved by force alone. This was also the original intention of Inazuma to set up the Three Magistrates' Auxiliary Office when she founded the country. But now two of the three magistrates have collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, and the shogunate has become a "brewery". Shogun Raiden really needs a capable secretary to help her. Fang Yun has the recommendation of the Eightfold Son of God, so his loyalty and ability should not be a problem. In this case, it is indeed necessary to give Fang Yun a certain political status. This was not difficult for General Raiden to think about. Although she was rather conflicted politically, Ying had once given her a guideline: "Ask the Son of God when in doubt about domestic affairs, and kill when in doubt about foreign affairs." In any case, she should just listen to the Son of God. however. It would have been fine if General Lei Dian just looked confused, but her nod made the Eightfold God's Son look suspicious. "Have you figured out how to express your appreciation for him?"
"No." General Raiden tilted his head and answered confidently. Her cool and delicate face coupled with this cute expression instantly makes her look extremely adorable. Yae Kamiko's face froze. She still overestimated the political level of General Raiden. It seemed that Hiiragi Shinsuke and Kujo Takayuki only wrote to deceive her unscrupulously after they found out that she had no knowledge of government affairs. Of course, due to the existence of the Society Bugyo, it is impossible to completely deceive General Raiden, but politics can be done in so many ways, such as constantly creating new terms to whitewash the situation, or saying that Umijima is useless, which can make General Raiden ignore the harm of this war. "Fortunately I asked one more question, otherwise I really don't know what you would do then." Yae Shenzi was very worried about General Lei Dian's improvisation. He was afraid that he would summon him to his bedroom in the middle of the night to show his respect for Fang Yun. If that were the case, given the moral character of the officials in the shogunate, they might write a letter the next day to request General Lei Dian to confer the title of "King's Consort" on Fang Yun. Oh no, she should have been named "Noble Lady Fang" at first. Frankly speaking, Yae Shinko doesn't mind watching this kind of fun, it makes her happy... But, if the person involved is Fang Yun, then it's completely different. If Fang Yun becomes the king's husband, wouldn't I be inferior to him in the future? This is a serious matter of betraying the teacher and destroying the ancestors! In order to avoid this from happening, Yae Shinto solemnly reminded: "Although you don't need any reason to promote people, you still have to be careful about the means." "What do you say? How about I let him take over the Tenryo Bugyo? Or just kill Kujo Takayuki? But if so, I must first see evidence of their treason... You know, even if I believe you, this is a necessary procedure for me." Yang "Of course I understand that the Three Devotees are the pillars of Inazuma and they have a high priority in your heart, so I just want you to pay attention to the means and cultivate Fang Yun's reputation first." Yae Shinko was worried that the Raiden General's CPU would be overloaded, so she tried to make her words as clear as possible. "This time, I came here because I want you to appoint Fang Yun to inspect the shogunate and have him find evidence of the two major treasonous crimes." "In addition, you must choose the Tianling Bugyo headquarters as the venue for the next assessment meeting and hold a military parade. This way, the Kujo family will know that it is you who is standing behind Fang Yun. At that time, they will extinguish all their thoughts and can only choose to deal with the Fatui to destroy the evidence first. At the same time, they will not dare to exploit the people and deliberately delay the war." This is the plan of the Eightfold Goddess. Although she intends to add a layer of restraint to Fang Yun, she will not let the Jiujo family continue to exploit the people. "Is that so? It's really complicated. You can write a letter and send it to Kujo Takayuki later. You can make your own arrangements." Lu General Raiden shook her head slightly. She still liked to do things directly, but the military parade mentioned by Shen Zi did interest her... Inazuma was a martial arts-loving people, and the military parade ceremony could be seen as a kendo competition similar to the Enbu Chuanxin. "I am looking forward to Fang Yun's performance and hope he is qualified to be my opponent."⑦ General Lei Dian made no secret of his appreciation for Fang Yun, and the one who was surprised was Yae Shinto. "I'm not surprised that you admire him. After all, you taught him the [Origin of Sword Art], but to say that he can become your rival is too exaggerated." She had only teased Fang Yun, asking him why he didn't fight General Lei Dian, but she never thought that he could really fight against God. "You underestimate him. His swordsmanship is very interesting. If he can reach the highest level, he will not be worse than me and Ying." General Raiden's eyes were full of expectation. "And I want to correct one thing. It was not me who taught him [Origin] last time, although I don't mind teaching him personally." Yae Shinko didn't take it seriously at first, but after a while, she realized what was happening and looked up in shock: "It was Ying who taught him the [Origin]? Why didn't she tell me?" "It seems that you really don't know his talent in swordsmanship." "I just think he's a little weird. To use the words in the novel, this is probably his golden finger? Just like he obviously has average talent in magic, but he has been forced to practice it over time. Isn't it the same with his swordsmanship?"
"No, his magic is still within the realm of human reach, but his swordsmanship is completely different. The ultimate purity of his soul is something that even gods would look at with admiration. It is a trait that is completely his own." Yae Shenzi listened thoughtfully, and the image of Fang Yun gently wielding the sword towards the moon reflected in the pool emerged in her mind. She had indeed only seen that kind of piety and concentration in Lei Dianying and General Lei Dian. Could it be that he is really a genius? "In addition to this, he has a hidden power." General Lei Dian suddenly spoke. Her thoughts went back to the first time she met Fang Yun sixteen years ago, and she spoke with hesitation and speculation. "He possesses the power of the [Mind], and I feel that its purity is no less than that of the Great Compassion Tree King on Mount Xumi. Even though he is limited by his human identity and cannot fully exert his power, if he only uses it in a warrior's way, he can use [Mindscape] to erode the real world like Ying did, and create his own pure land." "So, this is why Ying chose to let him go back then?"
