Chapter 263 The dedication of the man behind the scenes

The oil paper bag was opened.

Inside was a large collection of documents, as well as a specially made corked glass bottle with a large emolah and letters inside.

The first thing that caught Hiiragi Chisato's eye was a certificate of retirement from the Shogunate Army.

retired?

A question mark appeared on Chisato Hiiragi's head, and then she looked at the signature below. The name signed was: Shinnojo.

I can't help but recall what happened this year.

Has Shinnojo retired from the shogunate army? I really hope he can live well. He should meet a better woman on the outlying island in the future.

At the beginning of the year, the Kanjo Bugyo encountered a disaster. As their future was uncertain, many retainers and servants left, for fear of having anything to do with the Kanjo Bugyo.

In addition, the savings of many years were emptied and could no longer support the huge expenses of the mansion. He had no choice but to dismiss all the servants, and even the family generals and warriors under him were all dismissed.

However, there were still many loyal people who wanted to stay and share the hardships, and Shinnojo was naturally one of them. In the end, my father only kept some servants who had followed the Kanjo Bugyo for most of their lives, and none of the young ones stayed.

Later, because of the resurrection of Oropus, the Kaigi army took the opportunity to occupy Yamato Island. The family members of Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo were sent to the battlefield, and the shogunate army also began to recruit soldiers.

It was probably at that time that Shinnojo chose to join the shogunate army. As a retainer of the Kanjo Bugyo, his combat power would not be too low, and he was soon appreciated.

He was originally just an ordinary retainer, but he shined on the battlefield. After performing three great feats, he put on the unique samurai mask and chose to become a military supervisor to monitor the Kanjo Bugyo personnel.

In the difficult days that followed, he did not stand far away like an ordinary military supervisor, but was always by my side, helping me solve my problems.

Kujo Kamaju joined his elder brother Kujo Masahiro's team and did not choose to join the Kanjo Bugyo. They were never able to fight together on the battlefield.

In the final battle against Orobas, the beam from Orobas' mouth blasted towards the shogunate camp, and it was Shinnojo who stood in front of him. And Kujo Kamajima... squatted on the ground holding his head, he hid behind his eldest brother.

No, I can't think like this...

Hiiragi Chisato shook her head, shaking off some of the not-so-pleasant memories in her mind.

Let’s take a look at this Shogunate Army retirement certificate again.

If you join the shogunate army, you can't just retire if you want to. Either your service period is up, or you can use your merits to offset your retirement.

After the battle of Umigi Island ended, the shogunate army still had a lot of finishing work to do and would not let people go so quickly.

General Lei Dian has signed the document to exile Heguan to open up the wasteland. Those loyal servants and generals have been recruited back, and a lot of people have also been recruited to open up the wasteland with the whole family.

Shinnojo stayed in the shogunate army and was unable to recruit Cheng family generals.

Since then, Shinnojo and I have long since parted ways.

Wait? He can't be that stupid, can he?

Looking at the issuance date of this retirement certificate, it was a month and a half ago. Could it be that he is planning to do that?

Putting the Shogunate Army retirement certificate aside, the next layer of documents was the military merit certificate document, and the names on it were all written: Shin-no-jo.

Although it is easy to make meritorious service in wartime, these 39 military merit certificates all show that one truly had to put his head on the line and being able to survive was a blessing in disguise.

Nine of them were recorded as great merits, and the remaining thirty were recorded as medium-level military merits. If such merits were reported to the Kande Bugyofu, even the "bantou" would have to give way to him.

Put these "military merit certificates" aside again.

A "Certificate of Military Merit in Exchange for Supplies" caught Hiiragi Chisato's eye. It contained thirty-nine military merits, which were converted into early retirement and 10 tons of rice. There were also signatures of Shinnojo and the shogunate general Kujo Sara at the bottom.

The role of military merit is mainly reflected in promotion. Basically, no one will choose to exchange it for physical objects. After all, the exchange of physical objects would be very disproportionate.

What did he do with his military merit in exchange for 10 tons of rice? Now that the lockdown has been lifted, supplies from Liyue and Xumi can be shipped over. The price of a ton of rice is generally around 30 Mora, so 10 tons is only 300 million Mora. Even if this amount of supplies is shipped over, it will be useless.

Chisato Hiiragi smiled inwardly, she was still far behind Kujo Kamajima!

"Miss, what is written here?" an aide asked, interrupting her thoughts.

"It's Shinnojo's retirement and military merit documents. I guess because he had already retired, the shogunate army couldn't find him, so they sent it over along with the supplies."

"Oh, it's Shinnojo! That guy is really powerful now."

"If I'm not mistaken, he should bring 10 tons of rice, plus the supplies from the Tenryo Bugyo, so we can get through this initial difficult time without any worries."

"Miss, I feel something is wrong." The older staff member thought about it for a moment.

"Is there something wrong?"

"Logically speaking, if it's just these military merits, they shouldn't be hidden in the rice bag. Normally, the Tianling Fengxing will hand them over to you directly. After all, these are serious military merits! Not things that need to be hidden."

"Ok?"

"Miss, it seems you've only read a third of it. What's the information below?"

"Wait a minute, let me take a look."

Put the 'Certificate of Military Merit in Exchange for Supplies' on the other side.

"What is this? Liyue's housing reclaiming compensation certificate? No. XX, XX Street, Outlying Island."

"It sounds familiar... Oh! It's the house of Shinnosuke. I fell drunk on the street that day, and it was Shinnosuke who sent me home. After that, I went to his house to visit and thank him." Another aide said in surprise.

"After evaluation and estimation, the final compensation amount is 8000 million Mora." Hiiragi Chisato read the price at the end.

"Really? Didn't I tell him that the house can't be sold? When Liyue builds the port and airport, the price of his place will be at least ten times higher than it is now!"

"Xinzhicheng's house? It seems that the location is quite good. Since Liyue took over the land, the policy implemented is: the existing residences will not be affected.

However, the house will be under the control of Liyue, and reconstruction and sale need to be approved by the Liyue General Affairs Department. Liyue also gave a very high recycling price, which made people foolishly sell the house that will be worth hundreds of millions of Mora in the future. "

A group of staff were arguing and analyzing Liyue's housing policy. After all, they also had a lot of properties on the outlying islands.

"Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?" The staff found that the lady's face suddenly turned pale and her eyes were blank.

Everyone gathered around and saw that Hiiragi Chisato had already opened the thick contract documents below.

Material transaction contract, Xuanyuan Trading Company provides 30 tons of high-quality new rice, with a total price of 900 million Mora. (Xin Zhicheng has signed for it)

Material transaction contract, Tianmu Blacksmith House provides 800 various farm tools and weapons, with a total price of XX million Mora. (Xinzhicheng has signed for it)

Material transaction contract, Cong Long Zhi Yuan provides 3 tons of high-quality Xumi fertilizer, with a total price of XX million Mora. (Xin Zhi Cheng has signed for it)

Material transaction contract, Far Wind provides 300 barrels of high-quality wine, with a total price of XX million Mora. (Xin Zhicheng has signed for it)

......

“Where have I heard this data before?”

"Isn't this the data on supplies that Tianling Fengxing sent over a few days ago?"

"Oh, right! Uh... the supplies that Shinnojo bought were sent over by Tenryo Bugyo? Aren't those supplies donated by the head of the Kujo family?"

"This is a contract. The purchase date on it is a month ago. Didn't the traveler Ying come to Heguan? When she comes out of the fog, ask her to go to the outlying island and ask whether it was Shinnojo who bought it."

"Do you think there is a possibility? Shinnosuke gave up his military achievements, sold his house, and exchanged it for supplies to be shipped over. After Tianling Bugyo knew about this, he planned to take over the magpie's nest?"

"Since he bought all these supplies, why did he send them over in the name of Tianling Fengxing? Couldn't he have delivered them personally?"

"I guess Shinnojo has been killed."

"!!!!!!"

“We all know that Shinnojo is very fond of the young lady, but he was just an ordinary soldier at the time, so no one would expect anything from him. He himself knew that he couldn’t compete with that Kujo Kamajima.

The disaster that the Kanjo Bugyo encountered, coupled with the war with Umijima, has made him grow up, and he is desperately trying to get what he can.

It can be said that he is doing better than the rest of us. With these military merits, he can choose any position among the community officials and the Aojie people.

He does not want military merit;

He does not want the life of a high official;

He does not want a residence on an outlying island;

He doesn't want it, even if it's a million Mora;

Where do you think he will go after abandoning everything?"

"He will definitely come to see the lady."

"If he doesn't come...it means he will never come again."

"Ugh......"

Hiiragi Chisato covered her face with her hands and spoke slowly.

"No, these were all delivered by Kujo Kamajima! It definitely wasn't Shinnojo. He's just a small-time guy who covets my family's fortune. His feelings for me are definitely not love."

"My lady! Now the Hiiragi family only has the title of Kanjo Bugyo. They have no money and no God's Eye combat power. We, the staff, have followed the master for many years and came here for his sake.

Although Shinnojo is not as handsome, rich, or powerful as Kujo Kamajiro, he is inferior to Kujo Kamajiro in every aspect.

But if you insist that such a person who cares about you wholeheartedly is not worthy of your remembrance and recognition, then I have no choice but to leave, because this is too disheartening. "The elderly staff member said helplessly.

"This can't be true, this can't be true. Kujo Kamajima said he would give me supplies! He said he would wait for me!" Hiiragi Chisato was already starting to get a little hysterical.

“That little bottle containing Mora should be called a drifting bottle, right?

People who travel by sea usually carry one. If they encounter a shipwreck one day, the letter in the bottle will be the final message. "

Chisato Hiiragi opened the small bottle.

A contract document, a small note, and a letter with only "To Chisato Hiiragi" written on it were placed on the table.

Contract document: Entrust the Adventurer's Association with 6000 million Mora to deliver the following materials to Tsurugan every three months and hand them over to Hiiragi Chisato of the Kanjo Bugyo family. The time limit is one year.

List of supplies...

Small note: I don't know how many years it will take for someone to find it. If you pick up this small bottle, the Mora inside is your reward. Please give the letter in the bottle to Chisato Hiiragi, the governor of Inazuma Castle. Thank you!

The last letter was opened.

After reading it, Chisato Hiiragi fainted, and the servants hurriedly carried her into the bedroom.

There were only a few words in the letter.

[Xinzhicheng is dead, don't worry!]

Also, I love you! 】

Chapter 264 The Disappearing Wooden Reed Flute

Lin Zixuan, Ying and Paimeng returned from the fog to the temporary base in Heguan together.

"Huh? Why does the atmosphere feel so heavy?" Paimon saw that people were not in a very high spirits.

"Indeed, apart from the fact that we gave them a pleasant surprise when we came back just now, they seem to be in a very bad state." Ying also discovered something unusual.

"Bad guy, do you know what happened?"

"I don't know. Generally speaking, I don't go out of my way to spy on others."

"Your words are really unconvincing."

Paimeng crossed his arms across his chest, and Ying also looked at Lin Zixuan with a disdainful look.

"Various civil disputes and tragedies are happening all the time on the continent of Teyvat. Do you think I can get involved in everything?

The more power you have, the more you will realize your own limits. It is almost impossible to expect everyone to have everything go their way. After all, I am not a wish-granting machine.

To put it bluntly, I can only take care of my own little piece of land as much as possible. Or I can care about the people and things I want to care about. "

"What do you want to care about?" Paimon raised his eyebrows. "So you always spy on our trips!"

"Uh... sorry..."

"Humph!"

"A treat for you guys to a feast?"

"That's pretty much it."

"Actually, I'm not the only one watching you. There are many special beings watching you too."

"Ying and I are rising stars that people are looking forward to!"

“A rising star who becomes a wanted criminal every time he goes to a country?”

"Being wanted is not what we want!" Paimon stomped his feet angrily.

"Okay, let's go and hand in the mission first. Then ask what happened here at the base. Or maybe you can just guess for yourself first?"

"If I were to guess, maybe someone discovered that the supplies were sent by Shinnosuke. Didn't you, the big bad guy, say that Shinnosuke left a backup plan in the goods?"
