Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted. After all, the continent of Teyvat is ruled by gods. As a god, Ying does not need to look for evidence like he did. Her judgment is supreme and no one can object.

I thought it would take a long time to investigate this problem, but I didn't expect it to be solved so easily.

"The other thing is the matter of the rebels. This is more complicated. Even if the Eye Hunting Order is cancelled, I'm afraid they will not be content."

"Rebels..." Ying rubbed his brows, "I'm not very clear about this matter. So, go back and sort out the relevant information and report to me tomorrow. Let's clean up the things outside today."

She had learned a little about the rebels from the wishes of the Inagi people. Before that, Kujo Takayuki and Shinsuke's petitions had intentionally avoided the various troubles brought about by the Eye Hunting Order.

Especially Kujo Takayuki. With the strength of the shogunate army, how could it be possible for them to stay entangled with the island for so long? It's simply that this old guy wanted to use the war to suck the blood of the people.

This made Ying hate this guy even more.

"Let's go."

Ying reached out and took Xie Yan’s hand, but before he could react, the pure land in front of him instantly dissipated. After a dizzying moment, he returned to the real world.

In the eyes of others, they only saw a purple space crack appear, and then Xie Yan appeared next to the general...the two were still holding hands.

Ying slowly opened her eyes. This was the first time she returned to reality in five hundred years.

She let go of Xie Yan's hand, and in front of everyone's surprised eyes, she summoned the Grass Rice Light, purple thunder surged on the blade, and she walked step by step in front of Kujo Takayuki.

"Draw your weapons and look me straight in the face."

54 He is my man

A cold voice rang out in the slightly dilapidated training ground. Although there were no other actions, everyone could feel the murderous intent and anger contained in the words.

Kujo Takayuki opened his mouth, but although he was eloquent, he was speechless and could only look around as if asking for help.

Although some time had passed since the battle, there was still smoke and dust floating in the air. Although there were many noble people like him present, they could only stand there and wait for the general's result, so Shinsuke and Kamisato Ayato were beside him.

But in response to his request for help, both of them remained silent.

Shinsuke couldn't protect himself, and Kamisato Ayato had been looking forward to seeing this old bitch getting on the road, so not laughing out loud was already giving him face.

Kujo Takayuki could only look into the distance. He didn't even look at Kujo Sara, but mainly looked at his eldest son Kujo Masahito.

But what made him both relieved and disappointed was that his eldest son, whom he regarded as his successor, looked embarrassed at this time. After looking at him, he lowered his head like an ostrich.

The good news is that he learned how to be ruthless, but the bad news is that he gave up on himself so decisively.

"Father, you taught me all this. I am not only protecting myself, but also the family."

Kujo Takayuki seemed to have heard the voice of his eldest son, and a hint of self-mockery appeared on his face.

As for other families, the few families that were reported by Kujo Sara together with him were fine, but the rest of the families, big and small, were so eager to open champagne to celebrate.

He felt the suffocation of approaching death and the coldness of being abandoned by his own son, but now that things had come to this, severing ties with the Kujo family was indeed the right thing to do.

Taking a deep breath, Kujo Takayuki was about to speak, but unexpectedly, Kujo Sara suddenly took the sword from a soldier and threw it to him.

"Father, you taught me before that a warrior should have the integrity of a warrior. Although the Kujo family has done something wrong, they must not lose even the most basic integrity and take up arms to face the general."

"Sara..."

The eldest son, who was regarded as the heir, was eager to distance himself from the relationship, but it was his adopted daughter Kujo Sara, who had always been used as a knife in his hand, who took the initiative to speak. Kujo Takayuki was filled with mixed feelings.

But after taking the sword, his hands could not stop shaking. It was unclear whether he was afraid of the judgment or he was too ashamed to face General Lei Dian.

When did it start? He was once willing to sacrifice everything for the country and the general without hesitation, but he had become so ugly that he could only numb himself with "Wu Xiang's sword is invincible".

He could probably guess that Xie Yan's previous disappearance must be related to the general, and told her the truth, but it was useless to say anything at this time. General Raiden's will was above everything else for Inazuma, and she wanted to judge herself without any evidence.

Lei Dianying raised the knife in his hand high, and the lightning on the knife made an exploding sound.

"As the Lord of the Law, you have failed in your duty. You colluded with outsiders to start a war, and you have continued to oppress the people of Inami. Back then, your ancestors won my recognition for their bravery, but you..."

"I know my crime, please punish me, General."

"Tell me the truth about the mistakes you made, including who from the Kujo family was involved. I can ignore those who are irrelevant or less involved."

what?

After these words were spoken, not only him, but also Shinsuke and other family heads were all horrified and looked at each other in bewilderment.

Lei Dianying's meaning was very clear, she didn't intend to just kill one head of the family and be done with it.

Although Lei Dianying showed a certain degree of tolerance and took into account the operation of the shogunate system, in Inazuma, the head of the family took the blame while other family members continued to live as usual, which was actually an unspoken rule. Therefore, Shinsuke had made the worst plan before. Anyway, after he was deposed, his daughter Chisato would still be the heir to the Kanjo Bugyofu, and the family would be passed down forever.

But now... there seems to be a trend of change?

This is very inconsistent with Inazuma's usual decision-making, but Lei Dianying has made up his mind. Besides...the operation of the shogunate cannot be maintained by these parasites who sell out national interests and occupy their positions without doing anything. If he is really as deeply involved as Kujo Takayuki, to put it bluntly, without him, Inazuma will be many times better off than before.

There are indeed many good people among the two great magistrates, but the ones who do good things are loyal people like Kurosawa Kyōnosuke and Kujo Sara. What does it have to do with you, Kujo Takayuki and Shinsuke?

What they can do, others can only do better.

But Kujo Takayuki had almost lost his mind. He was the only one who knew the situation of the Kujo family best. If a reckoning really took place, few of his trusted subordinates would be able to escape, except Kujo Kamajui and Kujo Sara.

He would never tolerate his family falling into disgrace because of this...and it must be Xie Yan who was behind all this.

The will of God cannot be disobeyed. I am indeed going to die today, but you can’t expect to have an easy life either!

He didn't know that General Lei Dian was a puppet, but in his eyes, General Lei Dian was clear about rewards and punishments. As long as there was a mistake, she would punish it. It just so happened that Xie Yan had a big problem that he could drag into it.

“General, I am willing to accept the punishment, but the war with the rebels will remain stalemate, and prices in the city will rise. Xie Yan is also largely responsible!”

"Oh?" Ying narrowed his eyes slightly, suppressing the anger in his heart that wanted to kill him directly, "Tell me about it."

"Xie Yan is arrogant because of his talent. He never abides by military law and has always avoided fighting on the front line. When he was asked to work in logistics to forge swords for the shogunate army, he made various excuses to shirk his responsibility." Kujo Takayuki pointed at Xie Yan and asked sternly, "You can obviously make hundreds of swords in a moment, but you are unwilling to work for the shogunate despite your ability. What is your intention?"

Although it sounds a bit sophistry, it is actually true. After all, everyone has witnessed the previous battle and Xie Yan is not a traditional sword maker at all.

Ying ignored Kujo Takayuki. She turned her head and asked, "Xie Yan, do you have anything to say?"

"No, everything Kujo Takayuki said is true." Xie Yan said calmly.

Having said that, he wanted to see what other tricks this old bitch could come up with.

Expecting to drag him down and let him take another blow? Ying was still feeling bad for hitting him too hard before, so how could he bear to hit him again?

Even if they really have to take action due to the rules, it will probably be a painless punishment like "put Nashida's feet in your mouth" or "let me touch you...dream of the dream".

But others couldn't keep calm.

Kamisato Ayaka, who was far away, covered her mouth in surprise. She thought things had taken a turn for the better when she saw Xie Yan coming out, but she didn't expect the situation to be reversed again in an instant. Xie Yan, who had survived Wuxiang's sword, was also going to be executed?

Kujo Sara was also stunned. Without thinking, she stepped forward and knelt on one knee: "Please understand, General, Xie Yan has always been under my command. I know him very well. Before the armistice period, Xie Yan did not have the strength he has today."

She only said that she did not have such strength, but deliberately avoided the matter of sword forging, because no one can lie in front of God.

But Ying did not answer. She urged impatiently, "Kujo Takayuki, tell me the truth immediately. I don't want to waste my time on you."

"What? General, but Xie Yan..."

"He is my man, who are you? You are still thinking of plotting and scheming even at this point!"

Yingben was not a person with a good temper. It was already a great restraint for her to be able to listen to him patiently until now. Seeing him so unbearable, she became furious and swung her knife to behead him on the spot.

The knife was so sharp that the part where Kujo Takayuki was beheaded became as smooth as a mirror. The next second, a breeze blew, and Kujo Takayuki's headless body fell to the ground with a thud, and blood gushed out.

He was executed on the spot before he even had time to tighten his sword. His death was too quick and too unexpected.

Ying's gaze swept through the group of nobles behind him, and finally glanced at Shinsuke.

She said in a cold voice: "Except for Kujo Sara, all the others in the Kujo family will be dismissed and imprisoned. After the investigation is complete, they will be dealt with according to the situation... As for the rest of you, I will wait for you in the castle tower. As I said before, explain yourself clearly and I will deal with you as appropriate. If you are like Kujo Takayuki, you will bear the consequences yourself."

Given the almost rotten current situation of Inazuma, even if it is necessary to slowly replace the two major magistrates for the sake of the operation of the shogunate, he must still show his attitude.

The divine power was like a prison. With just a glance from her, those people who had something to hide could not even stand steadily. When they glanced at the once arrogant Lord of Kande Bugyo standing on the ground, they felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

It was beyond everyone's expectation that Tianling Bugxing, the most powerful of the three Bugxing, was dealt with in such a simple and brutal way.

Lei Dianying was too lazy to look at these people. He whispered to Xie Yan to take good care of his injuries, and then took the Ojie people back to the castle tower.

55 Eternal Prosperity

Even though General Lei Dian's figure had already disappeared into the distance, the training ground was still completely silent.

The bigwigs were immersed in the sudden anger of General Raiden and his desire to settle old scores, while hundreds of soldiers of the shogunate army were shocked by the death of Kujo Takayuki.

The lower-level soldiers certainly didn't know what Kujo Takayuki had done. They all thought that this Lord of the Order was the one who believed in the Raiden General the most among Inazuma.

But the truth was heavy. No one expected that General Lei Dian would personally judge him, publicly explain his faults, and leave his body as a warning.

This made everyone feel confused as to where the future lies. After all, they were all used to being ruled by the Kujo family, and now... let alone the Kujo family, the entire Inazuma might be facing a bloody storm.

Everyone's eyes were subconsciously focused on Kujo Sara and Xie Yan. If nothing unexpected happened, the Lord of Tianling would probably still make his choice from these two.

But subconsciously, everyone still thought that Kujo Sara would succeed to the throne. She had the glorious bloodline of Tengu and was adopted by the Kujo family. Her bloodline and status were sufficient.

Although Xie Yan has enough military power and would have no problem taking the stage, he always gives people the feeling that his bloodline is not noble enough... After all, being a descendant of immortals is just a rumor.

Kujo Sara turned to look at Xie Yan. Although he really wanted to ask him what had just happened, what was more important was to control the situation.

The same goes for the death of Kujo Takayuki. Although she had complicated emotions, including sadness and self-blame, someone had to make up for the disaster and mistakes her father had brought to Inazuma, and she could not let down the Shogun's trust. This was the responsibility of a warrior and her loyalty to Inazuma and to the gods.

She took a deep breath to calm down a little, and said in a hoarse voice: "You have all heard the general's order. The soldiers of the shogunate army should go back and rest first. Except for Xie Yan, all teams and forces should follow me."

Kujo Sara's reputation remained the same. After she finished speaking, everyone lined up in an orderly manner and followed her towards the Kujo family's residence.

As for the families present, no one was worried that they would escape, after all, the general had just given the order.

However, except for families like Takashi and Matsukawa who were more deeply involved, everyone else calmed down after a while. Although they also had some problems, they were far from being comparable to manipulating wars and colluding with outsiders. Judging from the current situation, they actually had a chance to rise to power, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

All I can say is that people’s joys and sorrows are not the same. Some left as if they had lost their parents, some left with a big laugh, and some stayed here trying to get close to Xie Yan.

There was no way, no one would ignore the scene of him being held by the general's hand when he appeared.

It is normal for a man and a woman to hold hands, but considering their identities, it is very unusual. Everyone knows that General Raiden is supreme in Inazuma. No matter how arrogant a person is, he would not dare to have any improper thoughts about the general. But now... she took the initiative to hold a man's hand, and before leaving, she did not forget to tell him to heal his wounds.

Xie Yan committed treason and challenged the gods. At that time, almost everyone thought he was as crazy as Yu Chiyo. However, not only did he take Wuxiang's sword, he now also has the favor of the general.

Although no one knew what happened during the time he disappeared, the general's favoritism towards him was written all over his face.

Who knows, he might become the "king's husband" someday. If we offend him, he will whisper in the general's ear. How can our family be saved?

Xie Yan, however, had no intention of playing coy with these people. He was extremely tired and just wanted to go back and have a quick sleep. He didn't even have time to look at the newly generated character-specific tasks.

After coming out of the One Mind Pure Land, the feeling of physical weakness became extremely obvious.

Injuries and physical burdens were one aspect, but the most important thing was the loss of divine power, which made him feel like he had fallen from diamond to silver. His heart was empty, and he subconsciously wanted to seek the power of the Heart of God to fill the gap.

Although he didn't hold the power for a long time, he still had this withdrawal reaction. Even he was fascinated by the almost unlimited supply of magic power.

But Xie Yan knew clearly that if he really did that, he would only become a puppet of power, so he had been suppressing the idea of ​​asking the Son of God for help...even though he knew that the Son of God would never be soft-hearted and continue to give him divine power.

Faced with the olive branches that were extended one after another, he directly cited Ying's order.

"I have to report my work to the general tomorrow. If I am delayed, I will have to report your names to him."

She rejected all the harassment with a simple and crude reason, and Kamisato Ayaka, who had originally planned to step forward to care for the injuries, did not dare to act rashly.

At this time when Inazuma is in turmoil, every move of the community official will be infinitely magnified, and seeing that Xie Yan's current condition is indeed not good, it is better to let him have a good rest.

Uh, is Xie Yan really going to become the king’s husband?

After all, she is still a young girl, and Kamisato Ayaka is really curious about what happened between Xie Yan and the general... Maybe, she can ask Yaeyasu?

Kamisato Ayato narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a moment. He turned around and left with his sister. Just like before, he was still indifferent to Xie Yan.

In the end, all that was left here were the body of Kujo Takayuki, some soldiers who were maintaining order, and... Shinsuke and Chisato.

The father and daughter just stood there quietly. Qianli wanted to speak several times, but when she saw her father's dim eyes and wrinkles on his face, she couldn't say anything.

Although she is the only heir, Shinsuke has always loved her and has not let her come into contact with the dark side. She can only see the storm that is about to hit the family from her father's reaction.

"I originally wanted to start training you today, but... it's too late." Shinsuke suddenly sighed, no longer as calm as before.

Today was the first time he brought Qianli to such an occasion, but unexpectedly it became the last time. It was a bit ironic, but also reasonable. After the matter was exposed, he knew that this would be his ending.

"Father, what did you do? The general just said that as long as it's not too serious, she should..."

"No, it's useless. They are right. I did betray the faith of Ming Shen and colluded with outsiders to deceive the general."

At this point, Shinsuke can only tear off his last layer of disguise...Admitting his mistakes to his children is something that many parents find difficult to accept.

Qianli saw his determination to die, tears welled up in his eyes, and he held him back with a choked voice: "Father, there must be a way, right? We can ask Shefengxing to help speak for us, or go find Xie Yan? If we can resolve the hatred between him and you..."

"I..." Shinsuke was about to agree subconsciously, but soon he laughed at himself, "No, don't do this... Qianli, listen to what father said. I have always interfered with your life in the past and made you learn a lot of things you didn't want to learn, but now, I just want you to live a good life, that's enough."

If he could have lived in disgrace, he would never have thought so, but as his death approached, he figured it out.

Jia could not be lifted up and put down easily as he wished. Even if his daughter would not be punished, Jia would definitely be driven down from the position of Kande Bugei.

During this period, Qianli will encounter great difficulties. If I entrust the family to her at this time, what I entrust to her is not responsibility and inheritance, but... a curse.
