[Genshin Impact] A world where only travelers are alone

Kamisato Ayato hasn't been here for a long time.

He Que tried her best not to think about him, and concentrated on learning the etiquette of marriage from her mother-in-law every day, as well as the various knowledge she would need to master in order to become a mistress in the future.

In fact, she had learned all these things a long time ago, but when the time came, she always felt a little nervous and had to use this method to stay calm.

However, what came before the wedding date that made her nervous was the return of her elder sister, Kujo Sara, who was assigned by her father to suppress the rebellion on Kaigi Island.

Heque's peaceful life was completely disrupted.

Kujo Sara seemed to have learned something from the yellow-haired traveler who came with her, and had a big quarrel with her father.

He Que, who was just passing by and separated from the scene by a door, couldn't hear clearly. He only vaguely heard the words "general" and "fatui". Before he could figure out the relationship between the two, he saw Kujo Sara with a frown on his face, angrily opened the door and rushed out, apparently heading towards the castle tower.

He Que couldn't help but frown, and hurriedly grabbed the yellow-haired traveler who was one step behind and hurriedly chased after him, asking him what had happened.

"Sorry, we have something urgent to do!"

The yellow-haired traveler easily broke free from her hand and ran after Kujo Sara.

He Que gritted her teeth secretly, not wanting to care about what would happen next, but the feeling of impending storm in her heart kept lingering, driving her to follow behind to the castle tower.

She arrived a step too late. The door of the castle tower closed again after it was opened. Kujo Sara fell into a coma for some unknown reason and was carried out by the Okuji people.

She immediately went forward to check on Kujo Sara.

But Ojizhong blocked her way with spears in hand, and shouted: "Although the General has not announced how to deal with Kujo-sama, Kujo-sama has definitely committed the crime of trespassing into the castle tower and disturbing the General's practice. We will not allow anyone to take her away before the General issues an order!"

Aojie Zhong is the personal guard of General Lei Dian and only obeys the orders of General Lei Dian. Even Tianling Fengxing, who holds military power, has no right to give orders.

He Que couldn't confront them forcefully, but it was impossible for her to watch Kujo Sara being taken away. Even if the Ojie people were not afraid of death, they didn't dare to take any real action because of her status.

So the group of people stood in a stalemate in front of the castle tower for a long time until the Eightfold Divine Son finally arrived.

He Que's impression of her was still stuck in his childhood, and he could not imagine why this beautiful fox priestess would appear here.

Yae Shinko seemed to still remember her and smiled at her gently. Then she glanced at the Nine Sara in Ojiezhong's hand and showed a helpless look as expected: "She is still an impulsive child. I told you that some things are not as simple as she thought..."

She waved her hand and ordered, "Leave Sala to this guy. I will take care of the general. She won't blame you. What you need to do next is to retreat as far as possible and stay outside the castle tower."

The Aojie people looked at each other, their eyes full of suspicion.

Of course they knew that the chief priest of Narukami Taisha, Yaeguchi, had a close personal relationship with General Raiden, and the general had even told them before that if anything happened they should listen to Yaeguchi, but this order was too strange.

Staying outside the castle tower...then who will be responsible for the general's safety?

However, despite this, no one dared to really stand up and question the decision of Yae Shinto. They could only obediently hand over Kujo Sara to Heque and begin to evacuate with the main force.

Yae Shinko nodded at Heque's head unceremoniously: "Okay, little guy, take Sala and go quickly. I'll give you a piece of advice, no matter what happens or what you hear next, stay in your room and don't come out. Today will be very chaotic, and you don't have the ability to protect yourself--"

Kazuque nodded vigorously as if swearing. Yae Kamiko covered her lips with a smile, and under Kazuque's worried gaze, she opened the door of the castle tower and stepped into the unknown darkness.

He Que took Kujo Sara back home.

She carefully placed the unconscious Kujo Sara on her bed, and stared at the sky outside the house which had darkened due to the sudden thunder, and fell into deep thought.

All Inazuma people understand that thunder and lightning are symbols of the general. According to the legend, when the "Sword of No Thought" is drawn out, there will always be lightning and thunder in the sky, as if divine punishment has come.

But in this situation, who will the "Wuxiang's Sword" be aimed at, the yellow-haired traveler or the Eightfold Son of God?
She couldn't imagine the scene that might be happening inside the castle tower at this moment, and could only pray secretly that everyone would be safe and sound.

She has already checked Kujo Sara's current condition and found no external injuries. She doesn't know why she fell into a coma, but according to predictions, she should wake up soon.

He Que was determined to find out from her what had happened.

Her prediction was correct. Not long after, Kujo Sara on the bed regained consciousness and woke up slowly. He opened his eyes hazily to figure out where he was. After realizing what had happened, he suddenly remembered what had just happened and was about to throw off the quilt and get out of bed.

He Que hurried forward to stop her, trying to get information from her: "What happened? Why are you so anxious?"

Kujo Sara seemed to still have a headache. He pressed his temple with an uncomfortable expression, but he still didn't give up. He stumbled forward holding on to the wall: "It's too late. If what they said is true, the rebels will soon break in if we don't stop them now-"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sharp sound of weapons clashing and the roar of soldiers outside. Kujo Sara shouted angrily: "Damn it! Why so fast! Even if the shogunate army is leaderless now, they shouldn't have sent here so quickly. There should be two other guards on Narukami Island! Unless, unless——"

Almost immediately, an idea came to both of their minds at the same time.

Unless - there is a traitor among the other two ministers.

"It's the community magistrate! There's a problem with the community magistrate!" Kujo Sara came up with the answer in almost no time.

According to the information she received, Kanjo Bugyo was also involved in the plan of the Fatui, just like Tenryo Bugyo, and would not allow the rebels to rush in.

At this moment, He Que seemed to have touched a sensitive nerve, and subconsciously retorted: "Impossible! Lord Shebuyo would never betray the Shogun!"

Kujo Sara sneered: "I'm afraid that in their eyes, helping the rebels attack the castle tower is not a betrayal to the general, but a necessary means to help the general wake up. But right and wrong are not something they can decide on their own. The general must have her reasons, and they can't let them interfere."

Heque was not aware of the inside story and naturally did not understand how Kujo Sara came to her conclusion. All she had in her heart and eyes was worry about Kamisato Ayato.

If he really got involved in this mess between the rebels and the shogunate army, what could she do to help?

He Que does not believe that there is any existence in this world that can fight against "Wu Xiang's Sword".

She pressed Kujo Sara's shoulders and forced her to sit down on the bed and lie down: "Even if this is the case, this is not something a patient should worry about!"

She paused, as if making some kind of decision: "Leave the outside affairs to me, I will go to the Lord of the Society to figure everything out."
