"What? Talk about the interrogation in detail!"

21 You can do whatever you want to Xin Hai

Hearing everyone talking about his harsh interrogation of Lady Cangjing, Xie Yan's mouth twitched and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

If the protagonist of the story was someone else, he would definitely gossip about how the interrogation lasted until late at night.

His ears moved and he continued listening.

"I also heard from Shangshan that after Captain Xie Yan walked out, the legs of the lady hiding the mirror were shaking."

“Wow, Captain Xie Yan is so fierce!”

Hey, it's getting more and more outrageous! That's just because she was hungry!

Uesugi, you'll be punished to take out the trash tomorrow because you stepped into the Tenryo Bugyo with your left foot first!

“啧啧啧内'部;;3'④'1.④.7.1,7;8;④.备,用'中.转.,5.7;0,2;9'6'3.⒋;④',你们的消息落后了,我听说当时九条裟罗大人就在旁边看着呢。”

"Oh my, Captain Xie Yan, you are the eternal god! This is too amazing. Isn't Lord Kujo Sara angry? Are those rumors true?"

"If it wasn't true, how could Captain Xie Yan have the stuff of the Summer Festival Queen? Why would Lord Kujo Sara stand there and watch him interrogate Lady Cangjing?"

The young man spoke in such a serious tone that even Xie Yan imagined himself holding down the Lady Cangjing for interrogation, while Kujo Sara stood by with red cheeks and stole a glance at him from time to time.

You know what, the visual sense came out immediately. If this guy Yaezamiko heard it, he might even write a book called "Eighteen Techniques of Interrogation - Xie Yan's Thoughts on Interrogating the Lady Cangjing".

What a visual! Just thinking about walking around the city with Xiao Gong's bandage yesterday, Xie Yan felt dizzy... Others didn't know, but Xiao Gong saw him holding the chest wrap with his own eyes that day.

He put away his bow and arrow, took two steps forward silently, and the whispers around him suddenly disappeared.

He originally thought that this would calm things down, but he was overthinking it. On the way out of the training ground, everyone was eagerly discussing yesterday's big events. As the protagonist, Xie Yan naturally attracted attention.

'It seems like a big fuss?'

Xie Yan frowned slightly, but this was reasonable. After all, the Fatui were attacking a divine being. In a country ruled by theocracy, this was an extremely bad provocation. Even interference in internal affairs was not as serious as this.

Besides, his battle with the Fatui executive yesterday had already attracted much attention in a martial country like Inazuma... Of course, the premise is that he wins. If he loses, he will have to swim back to Narukami Island and won't even have the chance to aim for the next year.

But it’s a good thing that the matter has become a big deal. Even if Kujo Takayuki wants to intervene, it won’t be easy.

"Well, today we should wait and see what happens, talk to Sara first, and then go hide in Narujin Taisha for a while."

Although he had made up his mind, Xie Yan still underestimated the impact of the Lei Yingshu incident.

Before reaching Kujo Sara's office, many people came forward to inquire about the progress of the incident, and then expressed their desire to discuss with Xie Yan.

He didn't expect to beat him, he just wanted to get some attention and then brag about it afterwards, "I took two moves from Captain Xie Yan, but the lady only took one."

Xie Yan declined all such competitions, as he had already defeated all the masters of Tianling Fengxing... To be honest, many people did not accept him at the beginning, thinking that he learned swordsmanship secretly, but later they became his loyal fans.

When the gap is too big, all people can do is look up.

But if we really want to talk about sparring, he remembered one thing.

Xie Yan's Yanzo-ryu swordsmanship was taught by the current Yanzo-ryu master Yanzo Mitsutane, who follows the swordsmanship guide of Tenryo. However, he forgot his own wish after handing over the Eye of God. At this time, all the disciples in the sect except Xie Yan defected. After seeing Xie Yan's talent, he hoped that after Xie Yan mastered Tengu Sho, he could demonstrate it to him and let him find his former dream.

This is the grace of teaching, Xie Yan must keep his promise.

Having noted this incident, he came to Kujosara.

Before he could even open the door, Kujo Sara pulled him in and slammed the door.

"I didn't notice it yesterday, but I heard that you walked around the city with Naganohara Yoshimiya's bandage?" This was actually the thing she was most concerned about when she came here.

Xie Yan pretended to be stupid and said, "Sha Luo, do you think I am such an arrogant person? In fact, the bandage is just of the same style. Doesn't Xiao Gong also have a bandage on his hand?"

"Do you think I'm so easy to fool? The material of the bandage on her hands and the bandage on her chest are completely different!" Kujo Sara looked resentful. She felt sorry for Xie Yan's injury, but did he have to use Xiao Palace's bandage?

I'm so angry!

However, she was not the kind of person who would put personal interests above public interest. After she finished speaking, she took Xie Yan to the desk, took out a purse from it and handed it to Xie Yan.

"Huh? This is it?"

"You protected the Thunder Sakura Tree from the Fatui and defeated the Fatui executive. This is the reward you deserve."

It turned out to be a bonus.

Xie Yan's eyes lit up, and he habitually said "of course", but in fact he had already put the purse into his arms, and got another 200 million Mora.

Being able to get money from Kujo Takayuki made Xie Yan feel like he was given a VIP membership by Bilibili.

"Sister Sha Luo, what are you going to do next? Yesterday your adoptive father talked to me and asked me to go with you to investigate the family."

"Father told me that this morning, too."

Kujo Sara's cheeks turned slightly red when she said this. Kujo Takayuki also used the big promise of "granted marriage" to fool her... although she felt that what her father said was more true than Ding Zhen.

"But Sara, you were originally investigating the rise in food prices, right? Wouldn't that mean all your efforts would be wasted?"

"Father handed this matter over to my eldest brother, but I think..."

Kujo Sara was hesitant to speak. Although she was straightforward, she was not stupid. Yesterday, she investigated and found conclusive evidence with swift and resolute force, but today she was transferred to another job. She knew there was a problem no matter how she thought about it.

But military orders are hard to disobey, and the matter of crystallized bone marrow is related to the battle situation on the front line, so she can only choose to obey.

Xie Yan was relieved to see that she had the plan in mind, but he still warned her, "This is the case with the grain price survey, let alone the Kanding Bugyo. Don't be impulsive, Sha Luo. You must find solid evidence before taking action."

"I understand." Kujo Sara suddenly frowned. "Although the two Fatui took the matter of the Thunder Cherry Tree upon themselves, they did not hide the fact that the Fatui had trade relations with the Fatui. They took the initiative to explain it when you were not here, including the time, place and contact person for the next transaction. They told us clearly."

what?

Xie Yan didn't understand it at first, but the next second he suddenly realized that this was what the two people thought was their revenge. They wanted to plunge Inazuma into civil strife.

“When is the next transaction?”

"Tomorrow, I plan to catch them in the act. The general will come to inspect the Tianling Commission in three days. I can't leave such a mess behind."

Xie Yan did not say anything. At this point he could no longer see the situation clearly and had to ask the fox for some advice.

After discussing with Kujo Sara for a while, Xie Yan prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he remembered something and gave Kujo Sara a shot of prevention: "Ahem, Sister Sara, I heard some bad rumors this morning."

Unexpectedly, Kujo Sara raised his head calmly and said, "Are you referring to the interrogation of the Lady Cangjing? I heard it. What's the big deal?"

"what?"

"Although some soldiers are a bit gossipy, it doesn't matter. To put it another way, the Lady Cangjing is your trophy, so it's only natural for you to deal with her in any way you want. Even if it's true as they say, I won't stop you from doing anything to her even if I'm standing by."

Seeing that Xie Yan was still surprised, Kujo Sara said, "In Inazuma, it is normal for warriors to use their swords to fight for beauties, money, and power."

Xie Yan now understood that this was the cultural background of Inazuma, which advocated the supremacy of the strong.

He subconsciously asked, "If I capture the Heart Sea of ​​Coral Palace in the future, I can do whatever I want?"

Inject energy into your heart!

"Of course, if you can really capture her, it's okay for you to ask me for help." Kujo Sara blushed, but still promised seriously.

And such good things?

Don’t mention it, Xie Yan is really shaken. How about going to the battlefield and giving it a try?

He shook his head and left the room, turning around and leaving Tianling Fengxing.

Before he even walked out of the street, he was stopped by someone.

"Thomas? You said Miss Kamisato Ayaka wants to see me?"

22 The first meeting with Linghua's wife

To be honest, it has been a long time since I traveled to Inazuma, but apart from meeting Kamisato Ayaka at some official events organized by the company's magistrate, Xie Yan has never spoken to her in private.

This is mainly a matter of identity. Although he carries the inheritance of the Five Traditions of Thunder and Lightning, he is, after all, a warrior who is highly respected and admired by Tianling.

Xie Yan himself might not care much, but from Kamisato Ayaka's perspective, it would be inappropriate to contact him rashly without knowing his attitude, as it might cause a conflict between the two major principles.

As for Thomas, Xie Yan had dealt with him several times. After all, Thomas, the "German soldier stationed in Japan", had become a local boss in Inazuma and had come to Xie Yan for help on many things.

Speaking of which, although Thomas is just a servant of the Kamisato family, he actually has a high status in the family. The Kamisato brothers and sisters regard him as their confidant. He is good at fighting and knows how to behave. He has become a local boss without using many resources of the Kamisato family. Many people don't know his true identity.

Thomas scratched his blond hair, which was as passionate as he was.

"Yes, Miss wants to ask you in detail about the matter of the Thunder Sakura Tree... Ah, after all, this is also related to the duties of the Society."

"Talk about the Thunder Cherry Tree? No problem."

Xie Yan noticed something, but he had actually wanted to meet Linghua's wife for a long time, so he naturally agreed happily.

Before he could even open his mouth, Thomas clasped his hands together and begged for mercy: "Captain Xie Yan, I was wrong. Miss actually wanted to see you for something else, but don't worry, it won't disturb you. Miss said we can meet at the Mulou Teahouse to avoid gossip. Of course, if you want to go to Kamisato House, Miss will also entertain you warmly."

Hey, am I that scary? I emphasize again, I just have facial paralysis, I'm not ugly!

Seeing that Thomas, who was always smiling and friendly, was frightened by him, Xie Yan finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "Thoma, I want to say that I also want to meet Princess Bai Lu. Is there any problem?"

Thomas was stunned when he heard this, and looking at Xie Yan's puzzled eyes, he nodded awkwardly.

"I'm sorry, I was really scared just now, mainly because your expression was really..."

"If I say I have facial paralysis, would you believe me?"

"Mr. Xie Yan really loves to joke."

Thomas waved his hands, with an expression on his face that seemed to say, "Stop teasing me."

Xie Yan looked at him deeply. Well, even Thomas didn’t believe it. He couldn’t get rid of the title of the cold-faced evil ghost.

Can you change your nickname? Something like Jinghong Sword, Jingshen Sword, etc. Just call it Gentleman Sword.

"Let's go, Miss Kamisato should be in the Mulou Teahouse, right?"

"Well, Miss thinks this will be more convenient for you."

Thomas was very capable. He made a point of observing his surroundings while walking, and took Xie Yan to a less crowded path towards the Mulou Tea House.

Xie Yan understood their thoughts, but thinking of Kamisato Ayaka's serious preparation for this meeting, he couldn't help but admire the thoughtfulness of Ayaka's wife. It was worth it that he had prepared the relics and breakthrough materials for Ayaka before he drew the character.

Well, although the holy relic was stripped from Ganyu, the hydrangea was picked up by Aqing with great effort.

It hurts my heart, old man.

but--

Although judging from the plot of the game, Linghua's wife is truly doing this for Inazuma, Xie Yan will still follow the principles he sets for himself: be cautious, think, and act.

After all, there was one thing he always remembered: How did Xinhai know that he could project weapons?

Among all the Inazuma people, only one person knows this news for sure. At present, it seems that the news was most likely leaked from Kamisato's family.

After a while, the two came to the outside of Mulou Teahouse.

The Mulou Teahouse is located at the outermost circle of the town street. From the window you can have a panoramic view of the sea. The environment is very suitable for quietly sipping tea. However, this teahouse is nominally a place for receiving upper-class people and is not open to the public.

This was also Xie Yan's first time here. In the past, he could hear the shop assistant Miss Shao chasing people away outside before he even got close.

However, Thomas had obviously greeted Shao before coming. When she saw Xie Yan coming here, she, who was wearing a plain kimono, bowed slightly to show respect.

Xie Yan really wanted to smile back at the pretty female clerk, but Thomas had been scared by him before, so he thought better of it.

Thomas took the lead and walked in front of Xie Yan to open the door for him. He introduced Taromaru by the way: "Taromaru is the owner of our Mulou Tea House. Many people come to Mulou Tea House just for him."

I have to say that Taroumaru is really cute. If you don't raise a Shiba Inu yourself, it's still quite lovable.

If he wasn't going to meet Linghua's wife later, Xie Yan would really like to rub her.

As he looked over, Taroumaru responded with two polite "woofs".

Xie Yan suddenly recalled the countless comments during the PV of Linghua’s Wife: “I want to be Kamisato Linghua’s dog.”

"The lady is just ahead, please follow me."

Thomas took Xie Yan around a corner and came to the tea room next door, then closed the door and stayed outside as a guard to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

Originally, Xie Yan thought that his wife Linghua would hide behind the screen to test him like she did when she first met Yingmei, but who would have thought that as soon as he entered the room, he would see the beautiful silver-haired girl kneeling in front of the coffee table.

Indeed, just as the people of Inazuma had rumored, Kamisato Ayaka was dignified and elegant, graceful and generous, and her bright blue eyes were impressive at first sight.

"Mr. Xie Yan, please take a seat." She raised a faint smile. After Xie Yan sat down, she poured him a cup of tea and continued, "Although this is not the first time we meet, please allow me to introduce myself first."

The girl's voice was clear and sweet, but Xie Yan could still sense her nervousness.

No, if you continue like this, I will have to go get treatment for facial paralysis.

After waiting for Kamisato Ayaka to finish her self-introduction, Xie Yan coughed twice and said, "Actually, Ms. Kamisato, you don't have to be so polite, and you don't have to address me with honorifics. After all, we are still the same age. As for what we want to talk about today... Don't worry, I have prepared before coming here. In fact, I have always wanted to talk to you."

"This..." Kamisato Ayaka blinked in surprise, "You... um, Xie Yan, what do you mean?"
