This person is the contemporary chief priest of Narukami Taisha Shrine, the retainer of General Raiden, Yae-no-Miyashi.
In front of her stood a pretty, somewhat nervous shrine maiden.
"The light novels these days are so boring. Aren't there any more interesting authors?"
A lazy and teasing voice sounded, like a feather brushing against the heart, tickling the heart.
"My Lord, in the past few days, due to... some special reasons, fewer and fewer people have come to submit their works... Now the only one who can be considered to have stable updates in Yaetang is Mr. Shen Yu from Liyue."
The witch's voice revealed a hint of panic.
Yae Shinko raised her pink eyes with interest and looked at the miko:
"I've already told you, Yingmei, what do you want to call me at this time?"
The miko called Yingmei immediately changed her tone: "M-Editor-in-Chief."
Yae Shinko nodded with satisfaction: "Well, that's pretty good..."
Then, he put on a sad look: "Oh, the lockdown order, really, it has affected my Yaedou."
The shrine maiden's name is Inashiro Hotaru. She is a little shrine maiden who often follows Yae Kamiko in the Naruto-no-Murakami Shrine. She also often helps the chief priest to take care of some matters in Yae-do.
Yaedo is the largest bookstore and publishing house in Inazuma and is an industry under Yae Shinko.
However, facing Yae Shinko's complaints about the national lockdown order, Daocheng Yingmei didn't dare to say much. As a follower of the god, Yae Shinko said it didn't matter, but as a little miko, what she said...
I guess he won’t live long.
"Don't be so nervous, Xiaoyingmei. Go and tell Editor Kuroda to temporarily cancel the subsequent writing competitions. There won't be many people participating anyway... Just make sure to update the novels that are currently signed."
Yae Shenzi said.
"Yes, Mr. Editor-in-Chief."
"Palace chief, the shrine magistrate's daughter, Kamisato Ayaka, requests an audience."
A witch hurried over and reported.
Yae Shinko was a little surprised: "How did Xiao Linghua have time to come here? Bring her over, Yingmei, you can step back first and do as I say."
"Yes, Mr. Editor-in-Chief."
Yingmei went downstairs quickly. Although the palace assistant always looked casual, she always felt that she had to be extremely alert when she was around her.
The sound of wooden clogs stepping on the floor was very crisp, but the footsteps seemed a little anxious, yet they were restraining this eager emotion.
After a while, a young lady who looked like a lady from a noble family came over.
The girl's long light blue hair was tied into a high ponytail, swaying slightly from side to side as she walked. The bangs on her forehead and the princess hair accessories made her look very dignified.
The dress with the family crest of the shrine's magistrate Kamisato, which looked like both a long skirt and a battle skirt, moved in the wind, and there was a hint of anxiety on her delicate and flawless face.
Under the skirt are smooth calves and a pair of lotus feet wrapped in white stockings.
This dignified girl is Kamisato Ayaka, the eldest daughter of the society magistrate, who is spontaneously called "White Egret Princess" by the Inazuma people because of her gentleness and friendliness.
When she came in front of Yae Goddess, Kamisato Ayaka was very polite and performed the ceremony in one go.
"The shrine magistrate Kamisato Ayaka greets the chief priest Yae... Lord Chief Priest, Ayaka has something to discuss with you."
Yae Kamiko still looked lazy: "Oh? It's been so long since we last met. You've grown so big... You have an elegant temperament and a pitiful appearance. No wonder you are called a princess, little Linghua~"
Kamisato Ayaka was a little helpless and a little shy: "Master Palace Administrator, I have something important to discuss with you, please don't..."
"Okay, come on, you're still so easily shy. Let me guess, is it because of Liyue's visit?"
Yae Shenzi said.
Kamisato Ayaka nodded: "Yes, it is said that this time it is Yuhengxing, one of the seven stars of Liyue, who brought an envoy. It is said that Yuhengxing is a man who is vigorous and resolute and hates evil. Combined with the previous survey and execution, I am afraid..."
"They are here with bad intentions, aren't they?" Yae Shinko said, "This should be left to the Kanjo Bugyo to deal with. They are the ones who caused this."
"But according to tradition, the Shebuxing is also responsible for contacting this foreign guest. I think we should still be prepared. I heard that the Palace Master has been to Liyue before, so I wanted to ask for some advice on how to deal with it."
Yae Shinko said, “Ah, that was a long time ago. I don’t know what Liyue is like now.”
"It's just that, as for the contact with foreign guests, you don't have to contact foreign guests now, right?"
The Eightfold Son of God seemed to be hinting at something.
Kamisato Ayaka looked bitter: "Yes..."
In recent years, the Kamisato family has declined, and the magistrate has been suppressed by the other two magistrates. If it were not for his brother supporting the Kamisato family, it would have ceased to exist long ago.
Unfortunately, the contacts with the foreign guests were gradually taken over by the other two families, and the general did not care about it and seemed to have acquiesced.
Now, the Tenryo Bugyo received the envoys from Zhidong, and merchants from other countries also communicated directly with the Kande Bugyo. The She Bugyo, an agency whose responsibilities originally included diplomacy, was now unable to receive guests.
However, facing the menacing Liyue, Kamisato Ayaka, who is concerned about Inazuma, still has to intervene.
"Don't worry, perhaps the wind of change and the rock that will suppress the world will soon descend upon Inazuma. I just don't know whether it will be good or bad..."
With the help of something left to her by her own god, Yae Shinko felt the approaching breath. She glanced at the castle tower where Narukami was, and had questions in her mind.
What are you thinking about? What are you going to do? My God.
Yae Shinko retracted her gaze and looked at Kamisato Ayaka:
"But Xiao Linghua, you are right. We need to prepare well... Let's prepare. In a few days, let's go to the dock to meet these guests from Liyue."
"But the other two magistrates..." Kamisato Ayaka hesitated.
The Eightfold Son of God sneered, and there was a hint of danger in the vertical pupils in his eyes:
"I want to see if they dare to intervene in my affairs."
148. An episode at the dock
"Inazuma, we're here."
After several days of sailing, we finally saw the pier of Daoqiqi.
Paimon looked at Inazuma's dock with a lingering fear on his face:
"Really? Isn't this lockdown order too exaggerated? We just entered the Inazuma waters and there was a thunderstorm."
Beidou's expression was also somewhat unpleasant: "Yeah, if Jiang Ning hadn't been here, I'd have been in big trouble."
Although the Death Star was able to survive the thunderstorm thanks to its lightning rod and his own actions, other ships might not be so lucky.
Keqing also frowned: "General Lei Dian... is he really so unreasonable? Even if General Lei Dian didn't show up, he should have known that the Liyue delegation was coming, or did the three envoys under him simply not submit our documents?"
This is very confusing. Although it was not a deliberate attack on the Liyue delegation, even if the aftermath of the thundercloud that locked the country hurt someone in the delegation, it was still a god attacking mortals.
If we really look into it, our emperor had every reason to go to Inazuma's homeland and ask for an explanation.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. We are here after all." Beidou shook his head. "This time, we also brought a lot of food. It seems that we can make some money."
Beidou said.
But the sailors under his command said, "Sister Beidou, every time you come to Inazuma to sell food, you don't make any profit. At most, you can break even. Sister Beidou is kind-hearted and can't bear to see the common people starving."
"Hey! Shut up!" Beidou glared at the sailor unhappily.
"Haha, I know."
The sailors burst into laughter.
"One or two of them are so lawless... Jiang Ning, I can only send you here later. After finishing the business, I will leave quickly, otherwise who knows what this Thunder General is up to."
Beidou said.
Jiang Ning nodded: "Got it, don't worry, Beidou Street, I left something on your boat that can withstand three lightning strikes, don't worry."
"That's great, thanks." Beidou laughed.
As the dock got closer, Ying also saw the current situation of Inazuma Dock. Looking at the many skinny dock workers, she couldn't help but frowned:
"This Inazuma... why does it look so lifeless? It's so desolate. Sister Beidou, are you sure this is the largest and most prosperous wharf in Inazuma?"
"Yes, I'm sure. It's just that after the lockdown, the country has been in a severe depression over the years. There's nothing we can do about it," Beidou said.
Keqing narrowed her eyes, looked at the shogunate troops waiting at the dock, and said:
"I always feel that these people are not kind..."
Jiang Ning suddenly spoke up: "Some of these soldiers are tall and strong, while others are thin and short... The army is already in this state, but Inazuma has not been destroyed. I guess it's because of that General Lei Dian that the country is still going strong."
"Whatever they do... Guys, we're on shore! Get ready!"
"Yes! Big Sister Beidou!"
…………
"Hmph, what are you doing here, my Society's people?"
A man who looked a little old and had a hostile look on his face spoke to Kamisato Ayaka who was standing there quietly.
Kamisato Ayaka said calmly, "I am only here to receive the distinguished guests from Liyue. This is the duty of the Society Bugyo. Please don't worry about it, Lord Kanjo Bugyo."
The man in front of you with a bad face is the current Kanjo Bugyo and head of the Hiiragi family, Shinsuke Hiiragi.
"Hmph." Hiiragi Shinsuke snorted, "After the isolation order, when dealing with foreign merchants, foreigners coming to Inazuma must land and register on the outlying islands. The general must have let the Kanjo Bugyo be in charge of dealing with foreigners, so the Sha Bugyo won't have to work hard."
Kamisato Ayaka's face was calm, and she ignored Hiiragi Shinsuke. In the past, perhaps Kamisato Ayaka would have retreated, but not today, and she would not.
"Oh? Really? Why haven't I heard of this? When did the Shogun issue a decree to change the duties of the three magistrates? Do you want me to go to the castle tower?"
A charming yet frivolous voice sounded, causing everyone present to change their expressions.
"Lord Palace Secretary..."
Hiiragi Shinsuke immediately changed to a respectful look, but he cursed in his heart, damn it, why is this woman here? Doesn't she usually not care about things? Why is she standing up for the Kamisato family today?
As a fox who had lived for hundreds of years, Yae Shinko knew what was going on in Hiiragi Shinsuke's mind with just a glance, and did not continue to dwell on this topic, but just snorted:
"Let me handle the contact with Liyue. You won't have to bother the Grand Master of the Survey and Administration Office. Linghua, have you arranged for the reception?"
"Everything has been arranged, Lord Palace Administrator," said Kamisato Ayaka.
"Well, okay... What are you guys still doing here? There will definitely be a lot of goods coming down soon. Are all these people taking up space here?"
Yae Shinto was very rude to the people of Kanjo Bugyo.
"...Yes, Lord Palace Master, but according to custom, we, the Kande Bugyo, also need a list of the goods entering Inazuma and check them at the same time."
Hiiragi Shinsuke immediately changed his words.
"Then just leave a few people behind and evacuate the rest." said Yae Shinto.
Others cannot feel it, but she can feel it very clearly. There is a demon god on the Death Star. There are so many people here, don't think that others are fools.
This is to show Liyue a warning. Although Liyue is big, this is Inazuma's territory...
However, no mortal dared to intimidate the demon god, and it is still unclear what the demon god's character is like.
If you have a bad temper, you will have several heads and nine clans to be chopped off.
Even if your own stubborn god will ask for an explanation later, your entire family will be gone forever.
In a not-so-harmonious atmosphere, the Death Star also docked.
Looking at the Death Star, there seemed to be no changes, but the defensive weapons gave Yae Shinko a sense of threat...
Yae Shinto narrowed his eyes, feeling extremely surprised.
Are those things from the Guizhongji? Things from the Immortals? Has Liyue become so wealthy? Or is this just to put pressure on Inazuma and show that they take the detention of their own merchants very seriously?
On the Death Star, the first person to come down was Captain Beidou, who was most familiar to the Inazuma people, followed by some Liyue people who looked very imposing.
Wu Huo Yi Scar Ling Jiu Ling Moxibustion
Why did the aura of the devil disappear? Was it my illusion? It's impossible...
Yae Shinko didn't see the demon he had imagined, and couldn't help but frown.
"Captain Beidou, long time no see."
Kamisato Ayaka and Hokuto have a pretty good relationship. One is the White Egret Princess who often pays out of her own pocket to help disaster victims, and the other is the captain of the Death Star who often delivers food to Inazuma.
