At the same time, he treated the Fatui in Inazuma as abandoned pawns, using them and those random experimental subjects (Nobushi) to expand the scale of the war and consume Inazuma.

There was nothing wrong with the entire layout, but he didn't expect that it was Lei Diandian who was in charge of Inazuma now.

The Fatui used the intelligence provided by the scattered soldiers to make various plans against Inazuma, but now they have been tricked by this absolutely credible intelligence. It can be considered a tit-for-tat.

Xinhai was not clear about these twists and turns, but that did not stop her from thinking about how to break the impasse.

She immediately went back to her room and wrote a letter. Then she looked at Goro and Teppei and after thinking it over, she gave the letter to Teppei.

"There are still some Fatui and even some traitors on the island. Goro is too obvious. This matter can only be handed over to Teppei... Please make sure to deliver the letter to Kujo Sara and have her pass it on to Xie Yan."

Xinhai was not sure whether Xie Yan was on the outlying island or on Mingshen Island. In this case, it would definitely be right to give it to Kujo Sara, as the other party's character was trustworthy.

"Understood. I will definitely complete the task." Zheping was stunned for a moment, then quickly took the letter and carefully hid it in his arms.

...

then.

It was less than four o'clock in the morning when Xie Yan heard an urgent knock on the door. He opened the door and saw Kujo Sara leading a strange young man in.

"I am Teppei from the island. Lord Coral Palace has asked me to deliver this letter to you."

Xie Yan originally thought that the unruly people on the island had some ideas, but when he opened the letter, his face suddenly changed. He asked Kujo Sara to find a place to accommodate Teppei, and then he hurried to the castle tower.

It was still early in the morning and the road was still dark, but the castle tower was heavily guarded. As soon as Xie Yan entered the door, he was stopped by the hatamoto general Naoesa Hisamasa.

But when he saw it was Xie Yan, he immediately saluted respectfully, because the general had specifically ordered that Xie Yan could move freely in the castle tower.

However, even though no minister had ever received such an honor, Naoesa Hisamasa did not think this was evidence that Xie Yan had become the king's husband.

Humph, it is not so easy to be a king's husband. General is the most noble and honorable person in this world.

Unfortunately, Xie Yan's next sentence made him unable to hold back.

"Where is the general's bedroom?"

"It... is there!"

After hesitating for a moment, he still pointed in the direction to Xie Yan, but when he saw Xie Yan's back going away, Naoesa Hisamasa came to his senses and realized that he had still underestimated him.

69 Overnight on Dragon Bed

The matter was of great importance, so Xie Yan didn't care about anything else and just walked in the direction pointed by Naoie Hisamasa.

He knew that Ying also had the habit of replacing sleep with meditation, so he was not worried about the embarrassing situation of "Ying also not asleep, holding a knife and talking in the courtyard".

But when he reached the door, Xie Yan paused.

Ying's bedroom was not much different from the emperor's bedroom in his impression, and the luxury of its decoration far exceeded the imagination of an honest man like Xie Yan.

If he could get Mora by living off her, Xie Yan would definitely have hugged Ying's long legs and begged for support.

"come in."

It was Ying who spoke first again.

Xie Yan came to my house at this time, so he must have something special to report.

He pushed the door open and entered the room, where candles were still on. He walked through the screen and saw that Ying was not asleep. She was just sitting cross-legged on the bed. She hadn't even changed into her pajamas.

This big bed can accommodate more than seven or eight people. It is made of the finest dream wood. However, Xie Yan didn't look at it much. He took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Ying.

Unexpectedly, Ying suddenly grabbed his arm and said, "I told you not to be nervous when you see me. Sit down and talk."

Huh? Sitting on the boss's bed and talking?

Xie Yan had the illusion of turning into a female secretary, but now was not the time to think too much, so he sat on the edge of the bed and told Ying about the information he had just learned.

"The Fatui's second executive officer, Inazuma, has arrived. He is currently exploring the Abyssal Palace. I don't know when he will come out, but his intelligence seems to be wrong. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that he did it on purpose."

Xie Yan was very wary of the Doctor. This guy had made many achievements in studying the power of demons. He was currently analyzing the mysteries of Lannaro and the Dead Realm in Xumi. He was also very good at strategy and layout.

Ying didn't pay much attention to the doctor, and only got to know him a little from Xie Yan.

But she acted very straightforward in response to Xie Yan's fear: "Don't worry, we already have evidence that he is trying to prolong and expand the war. Even if I kill him here with a single blow, the Ice God will not be able to find a reason to refute."

As one of the top demons, Ying has this confidence, not to mention that it was indeed the Kingdom of Winter that took action first.

But this was not what Xie Yan was worried about. He even guessed that the slices brought by the doctor would not be too strong. The key point was that this guy was knowledgeable and he could easily decipher the layout of the island. With his means, there was a high probability that he would see the secrets hidden in Yuanxia Palace.

however.

"What happened before the sun and the moon?" Ying suddenly asked.

Xie Yan's eyes suddenly widened, and his heart seemed to be squeezed by someone's palm, and he felt suffocated.

But then he suddenly had an idea and shouted to the shadow, "Don't look!"

While speaking, he forced himself to control his thoughts and not think about that matter. Fortunately, he just thought about the name and did not recall the content.

It’s okay as he has the system’s protection, but Ying is a native of Teyvat, and it would be troublesome if she was targeted by the Heavenly Law.

By the time he calmed down, a layer of cold sweat had already appeared on his forehead, and the tension still remained in his heart.

He was really worried that Ying would get into trouble because of him, so he had no time to care about the fact that she could read his mind.

But at some point, he found Ying sitting next to him, and he immediately became furious: "You really scared me to death just now."

Ying took a silk scarf from the bedside table and helped Xie Yan wipe the sweat off his head.

This was her first time serving someone, and her movements seemed a little clumsy, but feeling Xie Yan's concern, she had a faint smile on her lips.

"Thank you for being able to laugh."

"You don't have to worry so much. As one of the Seven Consuls, I know some secrets. I also know what are the "taboos."

Xie Yan finally relaxed, but he still didn't dare to think about it.

But when he came to his senses, he looked at Ying Hanhan with a strange gaze: "Have you been reading my mind before?"

No wonder Ying seemed to have predicted that he wanted to hear Meng Xiangyi's story. It turned out that this was the problem.

As he thought about it, Ying beside him suddenly opened his mouth in surprise: "So you like the stockings from Mond."

"...Damei, please stop looking at it." Xie Yan felt like a social dead end as if his boss had found pornographic pictures on his phone.

Xie Yan could still control his thoughts about things that happened in the past, but after Ying pointed out his XP, the associations in his mind were endless. He even began to imagine Ying wearing black stockings like Little Amy's, sitting next to him with her long, round legs crossed.

This was not just a fantasy, because Ying's long legs were now right in front of him.

Not sure if it was an illusion, he saw a slight blush appear on Ying's cheeks before he nodded.

"Actually, I didn't mean to do that. When you and I get close, we will be in perfect harmony with each other, just like we were in the Pure Land last time. It's just that you haven't made good use of your mental landscape yet." The female otaku first explained the principle, and then continued, "I will be more careful in the future and won't look at it without your consent."

She was actually very regretful when she made the promise. Today she took some time to read the various light novels brought by the Son of God. She really wanted to ask Xie Yan questions like "If the Son of God and I fell into the water at the same time, which one would you save first?" and "Who is more beautiful, me or the Son of God?"

Xie Yan didn't know that he had escaped a disaster. He asked sternly, "What are you going to do with the Fatui?"

"Inazuma's Fatui are either trying to steal the power of the demons, or are promoting civil war and conducting human experiments. I won't let them go." Ying also returned to the state of the Seventh Ruling. She added in a deep voice: "As for the doctor, don't worry. As long as he comes out of the Abyss Palace, I will directly activate the thunderstorm to kill him."

She is not General Thunder who will not take action until the conditions are met. She feels disgusted by the Fatui and naturally gives them the heaviest judgment.

Xie Yan knew that the real purpose of the doctor's trip was the Heart of God, and Yuanxia Palace was just motivated by his personal research desire, but the other party's actions this time were indeed dangerous, and such a threat could not be allowed to exist.

As for how to deal with the other Fatui, Xie Yan also had an idea in mind.

"Then I'll go back first." He thought and was about to get up and leave.

But Ying stopped him again: "No need, there will be a meeting at the assessment institute soon, you will have to come back again after you go back."

"That's true." Xie Yan nodded. He was indeed too lazy to run back and forth.

But the question is, where should he go now? Go to the assessment office in advance?

"Just stay here with me. If you want to rest, you can just lie down in the quilt. I'll call you when the time is up."

"Forget it, I'll just meditate."

Ying sat cross-legged on the bed, then crawled into her bed, and asked her to wake him up? It always felt weird.

Xie Yan took off his shoes and got on the bed, sitting cross-legged next to Ying and continuing to meditate.

Ying did not start meditating immediately, but looked at him quietly.

How should I put it? She had no idea what kind of relationship or mode of getting along she had with Xie Yan. She just always cared about what he thought of her and would argue with him over trivial matters like a child. But when she felt his care, she would feel as happy as if she had eaten dessert.

She felt that this was somewhat similar to her relationship with her sister and the Son of God, but also very different.

However, Ying is not someone who would be obsessed with private matters. What she is more worried about now is whether Xie Yan will be held accountable if he knows those secrets?

But when she thought about it carefully, Xie Yan knew this information and was only worried about her before, so he must have some means of protecting himself.

"No matter what, you, I, and the Son of God will definitely go to eternity with Inazuma." Ying thought in her heart, and this was the answer she found.

.....

Half past six in the morning.

The meeting of the Evaluation Office is of great significance to Inazuma, and even more so to all the officials of the shogunate. They must listen carefully and understand the ideas of the Shogun and the three magistrates, so many people arrived at the scene an hour ago.

"Master Kamisato, you're here really early. The company executive should have a lot of work to arrange for this meeting."

"After all, we have to manage the islands. I don't even know if the community magistrate has enough manpower... This new kanjo magistrate has really found a lot of things for me to do."

At this time, Kamisato Ayato also came to the door and greeted the officials of the shogunate as usual, with his behavior being well-organized.

In fact, he did not like dealing with these people, and his sister Ayaka would represent him in public occasions. However, as an official in the shogunate, many things were unavoidable.

His every move may be infinitely magnified and interpreted by others, and of course, he can also take advantage of this in return.

Just like now, Kamisato Ayato showed her attitude that she and Xie Yan were "not very familiar with each other".

But what’s strange is that as time passed and it got closer to 7 o’clock, Xie Yan didn’t show up. Did something unexpected happen?

He knew what kind of person Xie Yan was, but for the civil and military officials who were unaware of the situation, they could not help but be secretly surprised. They wondered if this leader of the Survey and Evaluation Commission had become so arrogant because of his favor that he even missed the first meeting of the Assessment Office?

Although they knew that the other party was extremely brave, they saw that he did not respect etiquette and laws, and their jealousy of his promotion from Yoriki to Kanjo Bugyo burst out. Although they did not say it, they had already imagined the scene of the general punishing him in anger.

Humph, you are so arrogant!

70 The Fed General

The officials of the shogunate had complicated feelings about Xie Yan. As a member of the Inazuma clan, everyone admired his bravery, but on the other hand, everyone also knew that Xie Yan was not of noble birth. Although he was upgraded from Tongxin to Yuriki, he was ultimately only at the captain level.

But it is just such a person who suddenly becomes a big shot that they need to look up to and please. It is impossible not to feel a sense of gap and jealousy.

But not everyone wants to see Xie Yan suffer a loss. For example, his old subordinates can't sit still. Now Xie Yan is their only support. If Xie Yan loses the favor of God, they will be the first to suffer.

Several people's anxious eyes kept wandering outside the door, hoping that Xie Yan could arrive in time, but unfortunately there was still no movement outside.

Hurry, hurry, hurry! They are all going to become Feng Ji officials.

Kamisato Ayato looked around and saw that Kujo Sara beside him looked normal, so he also felt relieved.

However, as time passed, although the officials of the shogunate did not dare to whisper to each other, their expressions became more and more confused, because even General Raiden was late.

The assessment office can be regarded as Inazuma's morning court. Although the absence of the minister Xie Yan is strange, a reason can be found. However, the sudden absence of the general is incredible.

Who can stop the general?

Fortunately, not long after, footsteps were heard at the inner door of the assessment center, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the general had just remembered the time wrong.

However, when all the civil and military officials raised their heads and prepared to watch the general ascend the throne to start the meeting, they found that they were still too conservative.

General Lei Dian, dressed in a purple kimono, walked slowly over, and Xie Yan, who was previously thought to be absent, followed behind her.

And compared to before, the general seemed to be a little abnormal today.

Although he still looked heroic and dashing, with a hint of thunderous power surging in his purple eyes as he glanced downward, he no longer had the seriousness of the past.

This may not be obvious to others, but for people like them who are good at observing people's words and expressions, it is easy to tell that the general is in a good mood today.

Not only that, the general's complexion was also rosier than usual, as if he had received some nourishment.

Together late... nourishing.

In an instant, many people suddenly realized what was going on, followed by a sense of fear. Some of them had originally thought of "starting a group" to attack Xie Yan for being late, in order to express their concern for Inazuma's political affairs. Now they think that this is really a way to seek death.

Do you still want the general to punish him? Do you want him to be punished on the dragon bed?

However, what made all the officials in the shogunate feel fortunate was that Xie Yan quickly returned to his team, and the general did not do anything like "hugging the king's wife, reporting to the king when there was something to report, and dismissing the court when there was nothing to do."

Beside him were Kujo Sara and Kamisato Ayato, and behind the three stood a group of troops, representing the forces of the three magistrates' subordinates.

It was good that Kujo Sara was prepared, but his brother-in-law had lost his usual calm composure. He opened his mouth wide and looked at him in disbelief.
