Genshin Impact, Raiden Shin joins the chat group

"Reputation is important, but there's one thing I forgot to mention." The Purple Sea Demon looked at Su Hao and the others with a rather serious expression and said, "That is, if you want me to betray those people... you'll have to pay more!"

It has been said that if there is enough benefit, enemies can be turned into friends.

Right now, the Purple Sea Demon, because of the 200,000 Mora, decisively revealed all the information he knew.

"So, the mysterious person you're talking about is a fat man wearing a mask?"

Su Hao stroked his chin, remembering that the Wild Ambush Men who attacked him yesterday had given him some characteristics of the mysterious man.

The other person was dressed in a black robe and rarely showed his face, but judging from the size of the person in the black robe, he was a person of standard build, not some fat man wearing a mask.

"Yes, he rarely meets with us; he relies on pigeons to deliver messages and intelligence."

The purple sea monster said very seriously, "But if there is important information, such as a deal worth about one million Mora, he will personally appear to communicate with us and tell us what to be careful of."

As the purple-haired sea monster spoke, his heart was filled with complex emotions. He and his elder brother had ignored the important points that they had paid attention to in the previous cases, yet they still managed to capture the people.

Unexpectedly, I didn't listen to the key points of the intelligence today, and as a result, I stumbled. This is what they mean by "If you walk by the river often, you're bound to get your shoes wet."

"Pigeons?" Su Hao showed a rather strange expression. For some reason, in Teyvat, the mention of pigeons would inevitably bring to mind the little brat Timmy.

"I see... Using pigeons to transmit information? That's quite a covert method." Hisaki Shinobu thought it was indeed a very covert method.

Because if pigeons are used to transmit information, even if the pigeons and the information they carry are discovered, they cannot be used as evidence against the perpetrator.

Unless it can be proven that the pigeon and the information on it were sent out by key members of the Hiiragi family, it cannot be used as evidence.

Su Hao looked at the purple sea monster and said calmly, "Can you contact that mysterious person and arrange for him to meet with you?"

"This..." The purple sea demon fell silent for a moment, looking somewhat troubled: "He's usually the one who contacts us; I can't reach him at all."

"Once we have a target, they will contact us within a month. If they are quick, they will come over in a few days; if they are slow, it will take more than half a month."

Upon hearing this, Hisagi Shinobu and Su Hao understood that this was a clever tactic.

By completely concealing themselves and not giving anyone the opportunity to contact them, they would have ample time to investigate whether the kidnapping was successful or not.

"Tsk, this is really troublesome." Su Hao clicked his tongue in amazement. Those guys behind the scenes not only had many tricks up their sleeves, but they were also extremely cautious. But thankfully... the image he maintained in front of others is now coming in handy.

Su Hao stepped forward, looked at the purple sea monster, and smiled, "I'll give you a plan to obtain 20 million Mora. I wonder if you'd be willing to accept it."

Chapter Twenty-Two: The Actions of the Heavenly Commander (Third Update)

Chapter

In Inazuma Castle, at the Tenryo Magistrate's Office, Ella, a maid from the Su family, came with Hisaki Shinobu to report a case.

That is, when Su Hao went to relieve himself, he was attacked and taken away by the Nobushige. Ella and Kuki Shinobu planned to go to his rescue, but two sea monsters stopped them.

Thus, a nobleman, a man loyal to the general, and protected by the Inazuma Law.

On their way back to Inazuma, they were kidnapped and taken away by Nobushi-shu.

The people in charge of the Heavenly Order were furious. These guys were really audacious, doing this time and time again. They had lost count of how many times this had happened in the past few months.

The people in charge of the Heavenly Rank comforted Ella and Kuki Shinobu, and said that the matter had been reported.

I believe the Shogunate army will soon be dispatched to rescue Su Hao.

After receiving this message, Ella and Shinobu took their leave for the time being, saying they would wait patiently.

Then, for some reason, the entire Inazuma Castle knew that Su Hao had been taken away by the Nobushi-shu, and that the Shogunate army was about to be dispatched to clear out the Nobushi-shu near Inazuma Castle and rescue Su Hao.

Meanwhile, in the Kujo family on the other side, Kujo Sara's adoptive father, the current head of the household, is Kujo Takayuki.

At this moment, the head of the Tenryo clan had a rather unpleasant expression, because not long ago, he had made an agreement with the head of the Kamisato family, Kamisato Ayato.

He stopped targeting those who were affiliated with the magistrate, because he was only doing so to routinely suppress the magistrate, and had no other intentions.

Seeing that things were about to escalate, Kujo Takayuki naturally decided to back down and, incidentally, curry favor with Kamisato Ayato.

After all, he still had to cooperate deeply with the Fools, and he simply didn't have time to focus on outwitting Ayato Kamisato.

Putting everything else aside, even if they won the fight, it wouldn't benefit the Kujo family at all, because Ayato Kamisato, the current head of the shrine, has the right to meet the Shogun.

If the other party were to fight to the death and go directly to see the general, then things would truly be beyond repair.

As a result, at this critical juncture, those noboru (wild hordes of people) kidnapped the nobles who were affiliated with the Shinri family.

This time, it wasn't Kujo Takayuki who contacted the Fools and had them arrange for the Nobushido to arrest people.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Beside him, a loyal commander of the Kujo clan looked anxiously at Kujo Takayuki and asked him what to do now.

Now everyone in the city knows that the Shogunate army, or rather the Tenryo magistrate, is sending people to deal with the Nobushi-shu outside Inazuma Castle and to rescue the nobleman, Su Hao.

If they continue to remain inactive, they will not only offend the Shinri family, but also arouse the suspicion of the people.

"Send troops to rescue them." Kujo Takayuki coldly issued the order: "Arrest all the yakuza around Inazuma Castle. If they resist, kill them without mercy."

“The Nobushi clan is no longer of any use. If they hadn’t done this, I might have let them go.”

“Now that they have alternatives, there’s no need to let them taint my eyes.”

Kujo Takayuki gave the order. In the past, he could have closed his eyes and pretended not to have seen anything, and then wait for the nobles to obediently comply.

But at this critical juncture, he couldn't wait for things to escalate; he had to act swiftly and decisively, before the Shen family could cause trouble, and rescue the person!

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the order, the general in charge of the Heavenly Command immediately stood up and rushed towards the military camp.

Before long, the shogunate army was mobilized. This time, unlike the previous times when only a few dozen soldiers went out to play, it was a true military mobilization.

A general from the Heavenly Realm led over two thousand elite soldiers on a grand departure from Inazuma Castle to carry out missions of rescuing people and suppressing the Wild Abominations.

The surrounding crowd cheered for the shogunate army, because too many things had happened outside Inazuma Castle recently.

Treasure-stealing groups, nomadic thieves, and resistance fighters—it seems like Inazuma has been in complete chaos ever since the seclusion edict and the eye-hunting edict were issued.

Meanwhile, the shogunate army remained inactive, or only symbolically sent out troops to suppress the enemy.

But are the people fools? They clearly aren't. The people have seen what the shogunate army, or rather, the Tenryō magistrates, have been doing.

Now that they saw the shogunate army making such a large-scale operation, the people were naturally very excited and happy.

In the shadows, Ella and Shinobu saw this scene, exchanged a glance, and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

They simultaneously opened the group chat and sent out the message.

[Kuki Shinobu: "The Tenryo Magistrate has been mobilized. I really didn't expect that."]

[Ella: "There are a lot of people. I counted roughly, there should be more than two thousand soldiers, and judging from their demeanor, they are all elite troops, not mediocre ones."]

[Su Hao: "The Heavenly Commander really sent people? That's surprising, but I probably don't deserve them sending so many to rescue me."]

[Kuki Shinobu: "Yes, based on my past experience with the Tenryo magistrate, they certainly wouldn't go to such lengths without Kujo Sara present."]

[Kuki Shinobu: "But they did it anyway, which is really strange. Could it be that you have someone in the Tenryo magistrate's office?"]

[Su Hao: "No, I only know Kujo Sara. The Tenryo Magistrate's office is a very complicated place, and I can't handle it, so I don't deal with the people there."]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "Huh???? Only a short while? Did I miss something??? Why do I feel like I'm suddenly on a different wavelength from you guys?"]

[Su Hao: "Oh, it's nothing, I just got kidnapped, it's not a big deal."]

[Raiden Shin: "?"]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea: "Kidnapped?! Su Hao... are you alright?"]

[Su Hao: "It's nothing. It's just that right after I left the island, someone was watching me, right? It was a group of thugs. They received the bounty on my head and were tasked with capturing me."]

[Su Hao: "To prevent this from happening again, I'll turn the tables and use these people who arrested me to find out who's behind it all. After all, I'm really looking forward to what Thunder is about to upload."]

[Raiden Shin: "Playing along, huh? No wonder the three of you suddenly stopped talking just now, so that's what happened."]

[Raiden Shin: "Don't worry, you'll definitely be very satisfied with what I upload."]

[Su Hao: "Then I'll look forward to it. Although the plan has deviated slightly, the Tianling Envoy has caused such a commotion that the person behind it probably can't sit still anymore."]

[Su Hao: "After all, with such a commotion, it would be a huge loss of face for the Heavenly Commander if he didn't rescue me. And the person behind it all also wants something from me."]

[Su Hao: "If nothing unexpected happens, they'll be making their move soon. Let me see if it's the Hiiragi family or the Fatui."]

Chapter Twenty-Three: Mysterious Men Attack, Wild Ambush Force Annihilated! (Fourth Update)

Chapter

It is located at the foot of a mountain near Narukami Taisha Shrine, outside Inazuma Castle.

Su Hao and his group of Wild Ambush members were having a barbecue. Although the atmosphere was a bit somber, it didn't seem like a relationship between kidnappers and their victims.

After discussing with the purple sea demon, Su Hao had a good talk with the awakened red sea demon and the Wild Fubuki.

With bruises and swelling on their faces, they expressed their agreement to cooperate with the plan and said they would never have any ulterior motives.

That's why they can now enjoy a barbecue together so happily.

After finishing his chat in the group, Su Hao wasn't flustered at all when he learned that the Heavenly Commander had been dispatched. Instead, he was looking forward to how things would develop.

"Speaking of which, your martial arts skills are not weak, so why have you fallen to this state?"

At this moment, Su Hao took the initiative to start a conversation, since the atmosphere was very tense and he was also quite curious as to why the Wild Ambition Clan had ended up in such a state.

After all, their martial arts skills were indeed quite good. Putting aside everything else, the fact that the Red Sea Demon could withstand several of Ella's moves showed that the opponent was not a novice.

Instead, he was a samurai with a master, but for such a samurai to become an outlaw is just too tragic.

"What's the use of being good at martial arts these days?"

At that moment, the Red Sea Demon took a bite of roasted violet melon and mumbled, "In Inazuma, no matter how strong you are, you still have to be mindful of the Heavenly Territory Magistrate's mood."

"Ever since the general issued the isolationist decree, our lives have become difficult. Those well-known factions have had no choice but to take sides."

"Either follow the Kan Ding Envoy or the Tian Ling Envoy. Forget about the She Envoy; at that time, the She Envoy would be in trouble himself."

"Anyway, if you don't take sides, what awaits you is truly endless harassment. My brother and I couldn't stand this situation, so we ran away from Inazuma Castle, and that's how we ended up like this."

It wasn't just the red-haired sea monster who said this; the ronin standing nearby couldn't help but complain whenever they talked about the current situation.

These days are really tough. On remote islands or in Inazuma Castle, you're constantly being extorted or forced to take sides by the Kansei or Tenryo magistrates.

They didn't care about the two major principles, only about whether they could fill their stomachs, but the result was... they didn't even fill their stomachs, and now they've fallen to this state.
