Li Qiuzhi was about to explain when one of the soldiers looked at him and said as if he remembered something:

"Hey, this seems to be the 'honorary general' mentioned by Lord Coral Palace in the announcement. I remember that he made great efforts to abolish the evil policies of the shogunate!"

"Oh, yes, it seems to be the 'Honorary General'. If it's him, it's normal for him to appear out of nowhere."

Another soldier said the same thing.

Soon the soldiers recognized Li Qiuzhi one after another, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he didn't need to waste time explaining.

Li Qiuzhi smiled and said:

"Hello everyone, I'm here to look for Master Xinhai. Please go and inform him."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Honorable General!"

The first soldier who recognized Li Qiuzhi immediately took the order and walked into the camp to report to Coral Palace Xinhai.

Not long after, Xinhai, with long coral hair and legs wrapped in white over-the-knee socks, followed the soldier out.

Next to her was the victorious general Wu Lang.

"It's you, why are you here?"

Coral Palace Xinhai's boots stepped on the sandy ground, leaving shallow footprints. He walked up to Li Qiuzhi and asked with a smile.

"I was invited by the shogunate to negotiate peace. Why don't we go inside and talk?"

Since this was not something that could not be discussed, Li Qiuzhi gave a brief explanation.

"Oh?" Xin Hai folded her arms and looked at him with eyes as deep blue as the sea. There was a hint of surprise in her expression. She nodded gently and said, "Well, come with me."

Next.

Li Qiuzhi followed Xinhai and Wulang to a room in the camp, which looked like a meeting room or something.

There are a lot of tables and chairs, and the sunlight coming in from the windows makes the place particularly bright.

"Honorary General, have you brought any news from the shogunate?" Coral Palace Xinhai asked curiously as he invited Li Qiuzhi to sit down on the chair.

"That's right." Li Qiuzhi naturally would not hide anything from Xinhai and told him the conditions from the shogunate.

After hearing what Li Qiuzhi said, some dissatisfaction appeared on Coral Palace Xinhai's fair face:

"Humph, Haiqi Island has been governed by the 'Modern Goddess' as the supreme leader for generations, why should we let them supervise it!"

"Master Coral Palace is right. Besides, not everyone in the shogunate thinks that peace talks are a good thing. If we ask them to supervise, they might deliberately make things difficult for us!"

Goro didn't trust the shogunate very much either.

"Then Xinhai, what do you think is the right thing to do?"

Li Qiuzhi was called by the general to negotiate peace because of his friendship with Xinhai. He was not an expert in specific negotiation methods, so he could just ask directly.

No need for any mind games or anything like that.

“What everyone on Haiqi Island wants is that we be completely autonomous, without any interference from others, and then trade normally with other cities in Inazuma.

"Of course, we will also fulfill our duty to protect Inazuma. After all, Haiqi Island is also a part of Inazuma."

Coral Palace Xinhai expressed his thoughts.

To put it simply, as before, Kaiki Island will develop on its own and the shogunate cannot interfere, but they will also fulfill their obligations to collect taxes and protect Inazuma.

Of course, Haiqi Island has fulfilled its obligations, and the shogunate must also actively formulate policies to conduct business and cultural exchanges with Haiqi Island.

Li Qiuzhi thought about it and felt that what Xinhai said was quite reasonable. Since the problem could not be solved temporarily, it would be nice to maintain the original state.

"It can be seen that the shogunate is quite sincere in asking you to come here to mediate. As long as the shogunate agrees to our conditions, we can also make concessions on taxation.

"How about two years of tax exemption to allow Haiqi Island to recuperate and then return to normal in the third year?"

Coral Palace Xinhai seemed to have already thought of this condition a long time ago, and just took this opportunity to state it.

"Well, I think it's a good idea, but I have to go back and ask Kujo Sara first. She is in charge of this matter now."

Li Qiuzhi nodded. He certainly couldn't make a decision, so he had to go back and talk to Kujo Sara.

If she could also take a step back, then both sides would have taken a step back and there would be no problem in reaching a consensus.

"Okay, Honorable General, I'll leave this matter to you."

Coral Palace Xinhai said with a smile.

She saw that Li Qiuzhi did not speak in favor of the other party just because he was the person invited by the shogunate to negotiate peace.

At the same time, the interests of Haiqi Island were also taken into consideration, so his favorable impression of him increased slightly.

It seems that he still has his heart set on our Haiqi Island’s “Honorary General”!

[Coral Palace Heart Sea has a good impression of you and gains 320 favorability points. The current favorability level is Lv.6 (280/600)]

Li Qiuzhi felt a little happy when he saw the favorability notification that popped up.

It seems that this person who is said to be mediating the conflict between the two parties is actually doing a job similar to that of a "message passer", which is quite good.

Chapter 428 Shadow's Questions (Two in One)

It took a few seconds.

Li Qiuzhi used the power of "Fluorescence" to quickly return to the Shogunate camp from the Haiqi military camp.

The soldiers of the Shogunate army were also shocked by such a miraculous way of moving.

But they already knew.

Li Qiuzhi came to help act as a mediator between the two armies, so he didn't ask any questions and was taken directly to see Kujo Sara.

It was still the same place as before. Seeing that Li Qiuzhi had been gone for twenty minutes and had returned, Kujo Sara asked in surprise:

"Why did you come back so quickly? Didn't you find the Haiqi Army's camp?"

She was just asking the latter sentence casually, as she didn't believe that the person who could be taught swordsmanship by the general could be so stupid.

"No, how could that be." Li Qiuzhi smiled and shook his head, saying, "I have already brought back the opinions from Haiqi Island."

He briefly explained the situation.

"Humph, you dare to put forward so many conditions!" Kujo Sara showed dissatisfaction, "You are obviously just a subordinate."

She was about to say that she was defeated, but suddenly remembered that she did not gain much advantage in the fight with the military advisor.

Although we didn't gain an advantage, we didn't fall into a disadvantage either. At most, we were evenly matched.

Kujo Sara felt inexplicably annoyed when he thought of this, but he finally sighed:

"Since the military advisor is willing to make concessions, the shogunate is also willing to show more sincerity."

In fact, the shogunate had expected that Haiqi Island would be tougher, after all, they had not been defeated.

She thought for a moment and continued:

“The shogunate can agree to what she said, but it is to prevent Haiqi Island from continuing to secretly plot a rebellion.

"They must also agree not to expand their army further, and if they need to purchase military supplies, they must apply to the shogunate, and they are not allowed to privately manufacture weapons and armor, nor are they allowed to purchase them from outside."

This seems to be quite reasonable. After all, if Haiqi Island does not rebel, there is no need to expand the army. The current size should be enough to protect Haiqi Island.

Ordinary treasure-stealing groups, hillbillies, slimes and the like are no threat to them at all. If they encounter monsters that are too strong, no matter how many troops they have, it will be useless.

As for not being allowed to privately manufacture weapons and armor, it is obvious that Haiqi Island cannot accept this. After all, this would make them completely controlled by the shogunate.

The shogunate seems to understand this, so their real intention is most likely to require Haiqi Island not to purchase military supplies from outside.

Putting forward one more condition is likely to give both parties room for bargaining, which will allow both parties to reach a consensus much faster.

Although Li Qiuzhi didn't know much about politics, he was not completely ignorant of it. He could still see such an obvious intention.

Immediately afterwards, Li Qiuzhi returned to the Haiqi Army camp and told Xinhai about Kujo Sara's opinions.

Sure enough, she could agree not to expand the army, but she had to retain the power to produce military supplies herself and could agree not to purchase them from outside.

As the "messenger", Li Qiuzhi continued to convey Xinhai's ideas back to Kujo Sara.

This time, Kujo Sara thought about it again and again, and finally reluctantly agreed to Xinhai's request.

After going back and forth several times, Li Qiuzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that both parties had finally reached a consensus.

From this point of view, there should be no problem with the formal negotiations in the afternoon, and all that’s left is to go through the formalities.

The shadows cast by the sunlight on people began to shift and lengthen, and white clouds hurriedly passed by in the blue sky.

Time passed and it was afternoon.

Li Qiuzhi used the "Hidden Maze" to become invisible and reduce his presence, floating in the sky.

At this time, he could already see the soldiers of both armies starting to move towards the junction of the Nine Formation Houses and the Stepping Sand.

As for why he flew into the sky and watched invisibly.

The reason for doing this is mainly to prevent the Fatui from coming and causing trouble.

Although this possibility is not impossible, after all, they have not yet obtained the Heart of God.

Li Qiuzhi also recently asked Rosaline through the "Banner" and asked her what the Fatui's recent action plans were.

Later, we learned that "Doctor" was going to make another transaction tomorrow.

But this time they were not going to look for General Thunder, because they learned from the Queen of Winter that she had not sensed the power of the Heart of God in Inazuma a long time ago.

Maybe the heart of God is no longer in Thor.

So, it may be difficult for others to guess who is most likely to have the Heart of God, but "Scattered Soldier" knows it very well.

Since "Baalzebub", the god of thunder, does not have the Heart of God, it must be with the fox woman whom he also hates!

Only that fox could gain Baalzeb's trust, allowing her to hand over the "Heart of God" with confidence.

So they are ready to go to Narukami Taisha Shrine and trade the "Heart of God" with Yae Kamiko. If that doesn't work, they will just rob it!

Li Qiuzhi found it a little funny to hear that they could just rob directly. With the strength of Yae Shen Zi, even if the three executives joined forces, they would not be able to defeat him.

What's more, now Yae Godson has an absurdly powerful exclusive entry.

Unless a "slice" of the doctor's heyday comes over, we will have the confidence to just grab it.

However, the "Doctor" did not mention to Rosaline and "Scattered Soldier" whether the "Slice" of Quansheng had come.

Therefore, Li Qiuzhi could not be sure.

To be on the safe side, we should go to the Naruto Taisha Shrine tomorrow. If there is any problem, we will release the general who teaches the sword technique in the secret realm.

Then all problems will no longer be problems.

Of course, Li Qiuzhi still hopes that the "Doctor" can come up with enough chips to exchange the "Heart of God" from the Son of God.

In this way, he would have the opportunity to take the things away without anyone noticing when the "Doctor" was conducting the god-making experiment.

And don't doubt yourself.

While Li Qiuzhi was thinking, the armies of both sides met on the ground, and while being on guard against each other, they began to negotiate.

Since all consensus had been reached in advance.

Therefore, all the clauses of the peace negotiation documents will be read out, and after confirmation that there are no problems, they will be signed by Kujo Sara and Coral Palace Shinkai.

Of course, even so, the whole process took about half an hour to complete.

Li Qiuzhi did not come down from the sky until the matter was over and the armies of both sides began to withdraw in an orderly manner without any accidents.

Next, he went to both sides to understand the situation and found that most of the soldiers were very happy. After all, no normal person likes war.

As for Li Qiuzhi, who helped a lot in the peace talks between the two sides, Jiujo Sara and Shanhugong Xinhai also had a better impression of him after the matter was officially settled:

[Kujo Sora has a good impression of you and gains 240 favorability points. The current favorability level is Lv.4 (300/400)]

[Coral Palace Heart Sea has a good impression of you and gains 220 favorability points. The current favorability level is Lv.6 (500/600)]

After all, without Li Qiuzhi, who has made considerable contributions on both sides, to mediate, it will take some time for both sides to reach a consensus.

It was almost night.

Li Qiuzhi was invited to attend the celebration banquet for the peace between the two armies. If it weren't for the "Power of Ying", he wouldn't be able to run on both sides.

After attending the banquet, he returned to Inazuma Castle.
