Still playing traditional Genshin Impact?

Xie Yan was also helpless about this. In fact, he wanted to have breakfast before the meeting in the morning, so he made breakfast for Ying.

There was no way. After the meditation was over, looking at Ying's long legs wrapped in black stockings in front of him, and the two of them were still on the "dragon bed", if he didn't do something else, he would probably want to pounce on her.

Of course, in order to cater to her taste, Xie Yan also specially made dumpling milk.

The royal kitchen of the castle tower had a complete range of ingredients and condiments, allowing Xie Yan to fully display his cooking skills. Ying squinted her eyes happily after just one bite. Seeing her cute expression like a kitten, Xie Yan made several more desserts to feed her, including the portion for General Thunder.

However, General Lei Dian was not very interested in food. When Ying asked her to come out, she just looked at Xie Yan coldly and asked for a fight. All the desserts that belonged to her fell into Ying's mouth.

As for the fight, Xie Yan thought about it and agreed. General Lei Dian just wanted to find someone to practice with, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to improve his swordsmanship.

He has been busy dealing with government affairs these past two days and is getting rusty, but he still prefers a straightforward confrontation.

Under the complicated gazes of the shogunate officials, the first meeting after the reshuffle of Inazuma's top management officially began.

The first to speak was Kujo Sara. She reported in a deep voice, "General, I have sent some soldiers to station on the island and have taken away the island's military equipment. However, I discovered that the equipment came from the Kingdom of Winter. It must be that the Fatui have been supporting the rebels behind the scenes."

Facing other people, Ying was not as gentle as she was to Xie Yan. She said calmly, "I already know about this. In addition, the Fatui also interfered with Inazuma's internal affairs, conducted human experiments, stole the Thunder Sakura, and tried to seize the Yuying furnace core. Kujo Sara, you will start collecting relevant evidence and then announce the Fatui's actions to other countries."

Many officials in the shogunate changed their expressions when they heard this. The Shogun's meaning was very clear. Inazuma was planning to sever ties with the Kingdom of Zhidong.

The next person to speak was Ayato Kamisato, who mainly reported on the handling of the islands.

"We can proceed with the island's affairs step by step. Once Coral Palace Xinhai gives birth to an offspring, the island's faith will collapse on its own. As for the distribution of supplies and education, you can make your own decisions."

"Yes."

In fact, Kamisato Ayato already had a rough plan in mind, but he must obtain the permission of General Raiden before implementing it, otherwise it would be illegal in terms of procedure.

As for Ying's attitude towards Xinhai, she actually didn't care that much. Just like Shen Zi said, she just hadn't communicated with anyone for too long and was easily irritated.

Next was Xie Yan's turn to speak, mainly talking about the issues of the Hunting Order and the Lock-up Order.

He had already discussed this matter with Ying, but the two orders were of great importance and others had to be aware of it as well.

"The Eye Hunting Order has been lifted. After the Kujo Sara Conference is over, the God's Eye of the Thousand-armed Hundred-eyed Statue can be returned to its original owner. As for the National Seclusion Order, I will lift it once the situation in Inazuma stabilizes. You can all prepare in advance."

Sure enough, the words immediately caused a stir, but everyone basically agreed.

Although the isolation order made the two old bastards Kujo Takayuki and Shinsuke earn a lot of money, it was very disadvantageous to Inazuma as a whole. Villages like Konda Village that relied on foreign trade could no longer sustain it.

After the general direction of development was basically determined, all the officials of the shogunate had certain ideas about the next work, and then they discussed the details, such as repairing and restarting the Gokage furnace, escorting the villagers of Yayun Island back to the island, etc.

After a meeting, it was already past ten o'clock without us noticing.

With Ying's announcement, the meeting ended and everyone went their separate ways.

The old subordinates of the family, Hishida, Yagi and others originally planned to let Xie Yan lead the team back, but when they turned around, they saw the general winking at Xie Yan, and then the two of them left through the inner door again, which made everyone laugh and cry.

It is naturally a good thing that their leader is favored by the general, but the problem is that they have no say now. They have gone from being a powerful official to a very powerful official.

"What should we do? We haven't shown the account books we sorted out to Lord Xie Yan yet."

"Then why don't you try to snatch people from the general? We can only wait until Lord Xie Yan returns to the island. Fortunately, everything is basically running normally now... Oh, by the way, there is also Qianli's matter."

"Alas, Miss Qianli wants to enter the shogunate to wash away the shame of her family. She has a high position in the Kanjo Bugyofu, and even I can't stop her. I hope she won't be too impulsive and make Lord Xie Yan unhappy."

Except for Shinsuke and a few of his confidants who were seriously involved, the affiliated families were not involved too much. Although this did not cause too much impact on the Kanjo Bugyofu, it also made it difficult to unify them. If you think about it carefully, Inazuma is really grateful for Yan's reputation.

But in the view of Matsuura and others, if Qianli insisted on working in the Kanjo Bugyofu, it would bring a lot of trouble to Xie Yan's rule. For example, if Xie Yan went abroad to take charge of diplomatic tasks, the right to speak in the Kanjo Bugyofu would be controlled by Qianli.

There can't be two tigers in one mountain. This is a truth since ancient times. I don't know how Xie Yan will subdue this young lady.

71 General Thunder: Are there enough weapons in stock?

Unlike what the officials of the shogunate imagined, "The General favors the prince's wife", Xie Yan followed General Lei Dian through the inner door and walked straight ahead. After turning two corners and leaving the room, they came to her backyard.

It is called a backyard, but actually it should be called a martial arts training ground. Judging from its scale, it is already half the size of the martial arts training ground of Tianling Fengxing. Various types of weapons are placed in the corners.

Xie Yan took a quick look and found that most of them were of at least four-star quality, and there were some five-star ones as well.

This is not surprising, as each god has his own characteristics. For example, the money on the continent of Teyvat was rubbed off from old man Zhongli, and sword forging was first carried out by Inazuma. As the source of Inazuma's sword forging technique, Lei Diany himself was the best swordsmith.

If she could master the Infinite Sword System, with her understanding of weapons and the blessing of divine power, Xie Yan estimated that she would be able to wholesale divine weapons.

Ok?etc...

An idea flashed in his mind, but General Lei Dian suddenly said, "These weapons are pretty good, right? If you can defeat me today, you can choose one of them as a reward."

She stood in the middle of the training ground, with a hint of excitement in her purple eyes.

That’s right, the person who appeared at this time was not Lei Dianying but the general. After all, Xie Yan had promised her a fight before.

Although Ying can use the body, in the final analysis, the owner of the body is still General Lei Dian. Today, Ying's eating of dessert caused the general to protest a little, but he gave up because Xie Yan agreed to a fight.

Of course, at this time Ying had not yet realized that General Raiden was thinking about the new eternity she had found, and when her "single thread" came to her senses, she would have a showdown with Ying to test whether Ying's will had been worn down.

Facing General Lei Dian's invitation to fight, Xie Yan readily agreed: "I had the honor to fight with you last time, but unfortunately, that Wuxiang's sword strike was not made by me. I hope to learn a little more from you today."

However, he felt that the reward mentioned by General Lei Dian was unnecessary.

General Lei Dian also quickly realized this problem. She frowned and thought: "Yes, weapons are of no value to you. In this case, is there anything you want?"

Want you!

Xie Yan certainly couldn't say that. The general wasn't as easy to contradict as Ying, so he changed his words and said, "Then help me project the dream of oneness. I want to understand the inner rules of it."

"Assist you? No problem. If you can win, you can pull out Dream Heart by yourself. If Ying tries to stop you, I'll help you hold her down."

The general didn't realize that he had said such vicious words. As soon as his mind fell, his dream, shrouded in lightning, appeared in his hand.

Xie Yan also took a step forward, and the Moon-white Sutra slowly emerged in his hand.

"You are very good. I agree with what you said to Ying last time. A warrior should judge his heart with his sword." General Raiden raised the katana in his hand, with a faint smile on his face. "Let's continue the battle we left unfinished last time. Do we have enough weapons?"

The general's words made Xie Yan suddenly stunned and he almost couldn't hold it together.

However, General Lei Dian seized this flaw, and with the power of thunder, he suddenly slashed at Xie Yan's right hand.

Damn, why do you and Ying keep staring at my right hand and chopping it?

In order to protect his elbow, the Eye of God on Xie Yan's waist exploded instantly. He raised the sword which was also wrapped in the element of thunder and rushed forward, and used his clever strength to deflect the direction of the sword.

At the same time, two black magatama suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The general swung her sword and slashed down with great force and ferocity, still without any fancy moves. However, because she had suppressed her own attributes to the same level as Xie Yan, her movements now seemed traceable to Xie Yan.

Copy mode, on!

Xie Yan still used his cleverness to deflect the force, and then seized the opportunity to counterattack by slashing upwards, but General Lei Dian quickly changed his moves, and the sounds of wind and thunder were whistling, which seemed flickering and changing infinitely compared to the previous big opening and closing.

The sudden change in fighting style caught Xie Yan off guard. Amid the clanging sounds, he began to find it difficult to resist and kept retreating backwards.

But under the general's deliberate destruction, the Bo Luan Yue Bai Jing Jin soon could not hold on and broke into two pieces with a snap.

trace, on!

The same sword quickly appeared in his hand, and he blocked the next blow before it landed, but General Lei Dian pressed down hard, and Xie Yan's feet were immediately pressed into the ground by the tremendous force, and his arms were numb from the shock of the lightning element.

As the swords clashed, General Lei Dian and Xie Yan looked at each other, and just when she thought she was about to win, there was a sudden explosion in front of her that tore through the air.

Suddenly, ten swords appeared in the void behind Xie Yan and shot out like arrows.

General Lei Dian took a few steps back, and Xie Yan took this opportunity to launch a counterattack, with water waves flowing on the thin green sword blade.

He swung out several swords in succession, and the sword lights were also flickering and it was difficult to grasp the direction. This was the sword technique that the Sharingan copied from the general... No, strictly speaking, this was the Five Lightning Transformations that Xie Yan mastered. Every collision of swords was equivalent to the general feeding him a move.

[Isshin-ryu swordsmanship (94%)], [Keijin-ryu swordsmanship (95%)]

The sound of metal clashing rang out again. This time, even Ying, who was watching the battle in Pure Land, became serious. She found that Xie Yan's swordsmanship was changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"He has learned sword skills very quickly, but unfortunately he is not good at using elemental power. I have to teach him before he leaves." Ying thought to himself.

At the same time, Ying suddenly felt that Xie Yan's ability to make swords was very useful. If nothing else, if she could make a dual-sword dream to challenge Morax, she thought she would have a great chance of winning.

Oh, by the way, I seemed to have heard Xie Yan recite some spell last time. Does it require a spell to activate it?

When Ying recalled the spell, the sword inserted in the Pure Land of One Heart trembled slightly.

At this time, the situation on the field changed again.

After all, the general mastered all of Inazuma's swordsmanship, and Xie Yan's attack only made her slightly happy, but she soon suppressed Xie Yan in return.

"Shoot and kill a hundred heads. Slash with sword skills!"

Without projecting the axe blade, Xie Yan used his own understanding to slash and kill a hundred heads, combining some of the characteristics of Tengu Chao, and the sharp and pure sword light suddenly burst out.

Bang bang bang!

The swords collided, and time seemed to come to a standstill at this moment, with surging air waves spreading out in all directions.

But when the smoke and dust cleared, the general's sword was shining with lightning, and he was still able to easily block Xie Yan's full-strength attack.

“It was blocked, but it was pretty good…”

The general put her dream aside and looked back at the seven grooves on the training ground behind her that were created by the sword energy. This was a sword technique she had never seen before.

However, she could see that Xie Yan did not project the opponent's weapon to gain attribute enhancements, but instead incorporated his own understanding. This made a huge difference in the power of the moves, but it also allowed Xie Yan to embark on a new path.

The general was very satisfied with this battle, and her sense of satisfaction was no less than that of Ying after eating dessert. The more she looked at Xie Yan, the more she liked him, and she wished he could live directly in the castle tower.

The general thought that Ying's twisted little girl's thoughts were really hypocritical. Since he wanted him to stay with him, why not just let him sleep in the bedroom? It's not like they had slept together before.

but--

She must not let Xie Yan commit the crime of insubordination unless he can defeat her.

However, Ying remembered that it was almost time for dinner, so she took advantage of the general's time to regain control of her body and looked at Xie Yan with pitiful eyes.

I want a sweet dessert!

Xie Yan, who had just taken a breath, saw Ying Hanhan's cute expression, so he had to take her to the imperial kitchen and make some food for her to make her belly bigger.

Only after finishing his work did Xie Yan leave the castle tower.

After returning to his residence, he wrote a reply letter and asked Zheping to take it back to Xinhai. Then he packed his things and rushed to the outlying island to take up his post.

Although he thinks he is just a hands-off boss, he will definitely be there for a while. On the one hand, it is to integrate these old family members, and on the other hand, it is to send a signal to reassure them.

To be honest, he personally doesn't like this kind of complicated things. If he hadn't promised the Shadow to take care of these things, he would rather stay in the castle tower and max out the Five Lightning Transmissions with the Shogun... But judging from the current progress, one or two more fights would be enough, and there is no need to rush.

Fortunately, his old subordinates at home also knew the situation, and not long after he arrived at the outlying island, Hideo, a servant who was assigned to work outside, respectfully brought him into the Kanjo Bugyo Palace.

As an important department in charge of the national finances, the scale of the Kanjo Bugyofu was even more imposing than that of the Tenryo Bugyo. There were even watchtowers around the mansion, on which warriors in sophisticated armor stood upright.

"Sir Xie Yan, these are all the samurai we have appointed to carry out the tax collection. After all, we have to collect taxes, and it is inevitable that we will encounter some obstacles." Hideo, who was leading the way, tactfully introduced the situation to Xie Yan.

Xie Yan thought of the situation in the Lighthouse Country and nodded with emotion.

However, these warriors were promoted by Shinsuke, so Xie Yan probably needs to screen them again and promote a few of his trusted ones.

Oh, it’s so annoying. It would be nice if I could check the loyalty of generals like in Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Xie Yan became more and more disgusted and decided to observe the Kanding Fengxing Mansion on his own first, so he asked his servant to lead the way and identify his residence first.

After passing through the winding corridors and gardens, Xie Yan arrived at the main house.

"The head of the family used to live in this room, but everything has been cleaned out by Lord Hishida." After Hideo finished his introduction, he took his leave.

Xie Yan knew that he was probably that Hishida's subordinate, and he didn't care much about it, but after pushing open the door, he subconsciously said "Red Bean Paste Private Mason" and then closed the door.

Because he saw a beautiful woman in kimono sitting in his room.

But when he reacted, he opened the door again: "Qianli?"

72 Open a weapons shop

After all, they had just met not long ago, and the other party was an exquisite beauty of the lady from a noble family, so Xie Yan naturally recognized her quickly.

It’s not because it’s so astringent!

But the fact that the other party was waiting in his room in advance was very meaningful.

Xie Yan was not worried that she would use any tricks like honey trap, so he closed the door after entering.

Qianli immediately stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Lord Yan, I apologize for disturbing you, but I don't know when you will move into the island, so I have to wait here first."

"It's okay. I don't care about this kind of thing, but you should also understand that I don't like beating around the bush. Just say what you want to say directly. This will be good for both you and me."

As he spoke, Xie Yan had already sat on the cushion and at the same time extended his hand to Qianli, motioning her to sit down as well.

Even though he had replayed it in his mind countless times, when he really faced Xie Yan, the scene of him bathing in lightning and challenging the gods emerged involuntarily in his mind. All the prepared words were stuck in his lips and were swallowed silently.

Qianli didn't know what attitude she should take towards Xie Yan. Although Shenjie deserved the punishment, it was indeed Xie Yan who caused the decline of the family.

Normally, when facing an enemy, she should pretend to be submissive even if she needs something from the other party. However, she could not do this from beginning to end, because Xie Yan had left too deep an impression on her. His bravery that was recognized by the gods had conquered her soul.

Taking a deep breath to clear his mind, Qianli said straight to the point: "Thank you, Lord Yan, what you said is right. Then I will say it directly. I want to atone for my father's sins, wash away the shame for my family, and strive for an opportunity to work in the shogunate. As a bargaining chip, I can help you quickly take control of the island."
