Original God, but the real world

Chapter 136 135-Lobbyist
"Is this the reason again?"

Kujo Sara reached out and stroked the information.

As a general of the Kujo family, she actually has her own unique power.

Some of these people came to her because they valued her surname, while others valued her own abilities.

As for the results, Kujo Sara, who has the support of the Kujo family and outstanding abilities, is indeed a target worth following.

Her only problem was that she was only an adopted daughter of the Kujo family and could not become the true heir of the Kujo family.

There is no way an adopted daughter could be involved in the inheritance rights of Tenryo Bugyo, and no matter how stupid Kujo Takayuki was, he would never include Kujo Sara in the preliminaries.

Because although she has the surname Jiu Tiao, she does not have Jiu Tiao's bloodline.

But even so, she has many followers within the Kujo family and is a considerable force.

In the past, with the help of this power, she could quickly accomplish what she wanted to do.

It was not until he arrived at the front line that Kujo Sara discovered one thing: the more curious he was and the more he wanted to spy, the greater the power that blinded him became.

"But it's impossible for Inazuma to deceive Tianling's behavior."

The tall woman put down the information, having already gotten the answer.

There is absolutely no force in the army that can deceive the vision of Tianling Fengxing.

She came with Kujo Takayuki's order, but was shrouded in fog at a certain point and could not find any direction.

This is not a problem with the power of Tianling Fengxing.

Kujo Takayuki is not the kind of person who is high and mighty but puts down his power.

In the entire shogunate's military system, there are very few people with the surname Kujo, but there are too many people following Kujo.

It's impossible that all these people betrayed me.

So if you cannot get the truth, then that is your own problem.

There is nothing wrong with the head of the Kujo family, but there is something wrong with himself... The things he wanted to investigate went against the will of Kujo Takayuki.

"Master, do you have any connection with the special power of the resistance army?"

The process of exploration did not reveal the truth, but having no answer is also a result.

In this war, Kujo Takayuki gave the rebels the power to fight against the shogunate.

Whatever his reasons, he increased the difficulty of the war and increased the losses of the shogunate.

This can be summed up in one sentence - during the war, he betrayed the shogunate's front-line troops.

Tianling Bugyo, who was in charge of military affairs, betrayed the front-line legion?
This is really...
"No, I have to leave the front for now."

Kujo Sara stood up with a heavy expression on his face.

Compared to the military battles on the front lines, the rebels, even with help, could only barely stay undefeated.

But the consequences of betrayal within the shogunate far outweighed the possible victory or defeat on the front line.

Anyway, the rebels don't seem to have the means to win.

It would be a better choice to retreat and defend temporarily, buying yourself enough time to resolve the problem.

After making up his mind, Kujo Sara acted much faster.

"General Kujo!"

Outside the tent, someone shouted loudly.

As the supreme commander on the front line, this is the respect he deserves.

"Enter."

Kujo Sara sat down again.

Things seem to be a little troublesome... This voice should be the sentinel sent by himself to gather intelligence on the resistance army.

In fact, it is difficult for the rebels to invade.

The top leaders of these people are almost all from Haizhi Island. The Coral Palace rules them, using faith and history as tools of rule. There is no Haizhi Islander who disobeys the Coral Palace.

Almost all the top executives are from Kaijima, so if you want to plant a nail in them, you can only rely on bribery.

And almost all of those who later joined the resistance army had some hatred towards the shogunate.

There must be some black chess pieces arranged by Kujo Takayuki among these people, but only Kujo Takayuki can control the existence of these people, and Kujo Sara and the previous generals are completely unaware of it.

More importantly, the previous admiral seemed to have never considered infiltrating Kaijima.

Yes, that guy seemed to think that Haizhi Island was not a real opponent and it was not worth spending time to win over the enemy's top leaders and infiltrate his own people.

To be honest, the Faith Faction is already difficult to deal with, and the previous general did nothing.

When Kujo Sara arrived, he found that he didn't know much about the resistance forces on Kaijima Island.

She knew the resistance fighters' soldiers and promotion paths, and her leaders...but that was all.

Little is known about the army's purpose, beliefs, or even its logistics.

It's all thanks to that melon rind.

Yes, it is not difficult to guess what the rebels want to do. They must be fighting against the shogunate. After all, it is for survival.

But what about something more?
Judging from the current results, even the reasons for starting the war seem to have some problems.

Kujo Sara rubbed his eyebrows.

This can't be blamed on the other party - given the level of the rebels, it's really not worth being too curious about.

As for the enemies, just kill them if you can. There is no need to explore the secrets behind them.

Only when facing an opponent of equal strength is it worth using all means.

It is not surprising that the general is unwilling to waste his energy on an enemy that can be defeated with a simple push.

What's more, the head of the family seems to have connections with the rebels, so there is no need to spend effort to investigate the rebels.

"General Kujo," the samurai who came in quickly said solemnly, "there has been some unusual movement by the resistance army."

Most of the followers followed the surname Kujo, but some also followed the person Kujo Sara.

However, there are not many such people, because in the eyes of most people, Kujo Sara has both of the above attributes.

Joining the Kujo family and joining Kujo Sara are actually two choices.

So among these people, some are followers of Kujo Sara on the surface, but a large part of them are actually followers of the Kujo family.

The price that the Kujo family could offer was far higher than that offered by Kujo Sara himself.

Among this group of people, if she wants to do something serious, these people will be her helpers.

But if she wants to do something that Kujo Takayuki doesn't allow, these people will be her enemies.

Kujo Sara had no intention of carrying out a second purge before, so he wanted all his subordinates to be loyal to him.

She had never thought that one day she would have a conflict with the Kujo family. Since there would be no conflict, whether these people were loyal to the Tenryo Fukko or loyal to herself was actually the same thing.

Until recently.

Kujo Sara sighed.

"Go ahead," she said seriously, "I need your information."

After all, there are still a few people who can be used.

"The rebel generals gathered together a few days ago."

"Besides, the soldiers you asked me to investigate now have gray hair and their lives are as weak as candlelight."

He looked down and said, "They're dying."

"Near death?" Kujo Sara repeated softly.

Absolutely.

Not long ago, these people were still full of energy and each one was more ferocious than the other. Although they did not have the Eye of God, their physical fitness was incredibly strong.

He was wearing outdated armor and swords, and his martial arts were relatively average, but he could still win.

This is all due to the opponent's power that far exceeds that of ordinary people.

But now, they are like candles in the wind, with their life flames dim.

This is strange, it is impossible that these warriors are fighting on the battlefield with their dying bodies?

Then we have to change our thinking.

Because of the fighting on the battlefield, they were in danger of death.

So, the head of the family... no, what Kujo Takayuki gave to the rebels was a means to exchange their lives for power.

But strengthening the resistance army would do no good to Kujo Takayuki. Even if they betrayed the shogunate, at best he only wanted the resistance army to stay alive.

Just keep it, there is no need to strengthen the opponent.

This is a losing business.

So there has to be another planner.

He needed the resistance to become stronger - he needed the resistance to use this method of exchanging lives for power.

He satisfied Kujo Takayuki's desire, so Kujo Takayuki supported him.

Yes.

There is no benefit for Kujo Takayuki to strengthen the resistance army, but as long as someone can pay the benefit, he will let him do it.

So if I come here by myself, it must be because the other party needs me to suppress the rebels.

That's right.

No wonder the resistance suddenly became stronger after I arrived.

It turns out that the second planner needed to oppress the rebels himself and force them to gamble their lives.

These are just speculations. Can they be directly regarded as evidence?
Kujo Sara was a little hesitant.

While she was hesitating, she had found a solution.

In fact, oppressing the rebels is not a big problem, because these people will be killed sooner or later anyway.

The key is the betrayal of Kujo Takayuki.

Kujo Sara had no sympathy for the plight of the rebels, but she could not ignore Kujo Takayuki's position on the matter.

If he was able to nurture the resistance and abandon the interests of the shogunate this time, then a second similar incident was only a matter of time.

This matter must be reported to the general as soon as possible.

But this requires another piece of evidence.

Speculations cannot be used as evidence, let alone presented to the general.

Since it was a matter of Tianling's practice, she needed more direct evidence.

Fortunately, this is not difficult.

Kujo Sara's smile was somewhat sarcastic.

"Take my orders and thoroughly investigate the shogunate's frontline troops."

She gave the order, "I suspect the frontline troops have already betrayed the shogunate's position."

This command will not succeed.

The fact that intelligence was concealed meant that someone in a position of power above him had taken action.

Someone will definitely stand up and stop me.

But as long as someone takes action, the evidence will be in hand.

She was a general of the shogunate, and she didn't really need to obtain substantial evidence to be qualified to bring charges against someone.

Even though this person was Tenryo Bugyo, she was also a general of the shogunate who was valued by the shogun.

Because of her position, she is under the control of Kujo Takayuki, but Kujo Sara is blessed by the gods while Kujo Takayuki is not.

Everything in this country should be based on the will and inclination of God as the first choice.

If only someone could stand up.

This matter is over.

And if no one steps forward, these people of ours still won't be able to find anything... then the problem will be even bigger, and we won't be able to get away. We have to stay on the front line and solve the internal problems.

Since the good or bad outcome of an event can bring an answer, then this event is worth promoting.

Kujo Sara did not hesitate and naturally chose to act.

This is exacerbating the conflict.

She had just received news that a group of people who controlled the evil eye within the resistance were on the verge of death.

If we conduct a thorough investigation here, the Fatui will not be able to spare the time to help the rebels.

Even without the help of the Fatui, even if there are some conflicts within the shogunate, defense will not be a problem.

······
"So the rebels are not the first target that Kujo Sara needs to deal with,"

Jiang Qing looked at Wu Lang with a calm expression, "It's the lurker inside the shogunate."

People always hate traitors more than external enemies.

“That’s the opportunity we’re looking for.”

The Fatui's methods are difficult to catch, and the [Rich] can even get their hands on the selection of the Seven Stars.

If Zhiyi's partner's methods had not been slightly inferior, even if Tianshu had noticed it, it would have been difficult for him to follow the clues and find the culprit.

But this time it wasn't difficult.

Because the existence of the Evil Eye Factory cannot be concealed.

When the time comes, they can only blow up the place and then pretend nothing happened.

Normally, they might have finished it by now. After all, the cooperation between Coral Palace Xinhai and them happened a long time ago.

But Jiang Qing didn't think they had really given up.

This is a factory that makes evil eyes.

The Fatui don't just make evil eyes for experimental subjects, there are many people among them who need to use them.

So the factory must still be there.

They have already completed the construction of such a factory and the search for [Crystallized Bone Marrow], so there is no way they can just abandon it like that.

As long as they are greedy enough, they will never give up directly.

If it is not dealt with earlier, then Kujo Sara will be able to find it sooner or later if he continues tracking it.

Objects are different from people. Many people can work together to block Kujo Sara's access to information and deceive her.

But how to conceal such a large factory?

No matter how hidden the cultivation is, it always exists.

Coral Palace Xinhai naturally understood what Jiang Qing meant.

"So, it's time for us to take action."

"This is when we are at our weakest - one group of warriors using the evil eye has just worn out, and the next group is hesitant."

Coral Palace Xinhai took a deep breath.

“But that’s the opportunity we’re looking forward to.”

Wulang's eyes were burning.

If she forbids people to use the evil eye, they will choose to use it despite all odds.

On the contrary, if she promotes it openly, these people will become hesitant and waver.

The former have no choice. They will regard themselves as lone heroes and bravely make sacrifices for the future of Kaiji Island.

The latter is much more complicated. The most complicated part is that the person who actively calls for sacrifice is the least likely to sacrifice.

Therefore, many people no longer desire the power of the evil eye.

This has nothing to do with too many things, it's just the way people are.

Coral Palace Xinhai didn't dare to complain.

There is nothing to complain about, no need to complain.

Kujo Sara could also see this, so she freed up her hands to resolve internal conflicts.

Because this is the moment when the resistance is at its weakest.

No one will want to control the power of the Evil Eye anymore, and even the Coral Palace Xinhai needs to give an explanation to these people.

Taking advantage of the sacrifices of others, even though the survival of Haizhi Island concerns everyone, because Coral Palace Xinhai is the one who holds the most power on Haizhi Island, people will naturally think that as long as it is related to Haizhi Island, Coral Palace Xinhai will get the most benefits and Coral Palace Xinhai will face the least disadvantages.

Therefore, the evil eye incident will greatly overdraw people's trust and induce everyone to doubt this place.

Even if Kaijima is destroyed, they will all die.

But they will still choose to hold back, and it is impossible for them to completely ignore their own death like they did at the beginning.

Kujo Sara saw this, which is why she chose to overturn the table at this time, directly triggering the conflicts within the front-line army.

She was sure she could handle everything before she dared to put the conflict on the table.

But this time she was wrong.

Because the decline of the resistance is just the beginning of the plan.

"It is difficult for us to determine when a person is most difficult to deal with, but at least one thing is certain: when she is full of confidence, she will definitely take action."

And as long as she starts to act, the opportunity will always be exposed within a certain period of time.

But the shogunate was in an advantageous position.

It is up to Kujo Sara to decide when to take action.

So Coral Palace Xinhai created a reason for her to take action.

Whatever Kujo Sara is worried about, Coral Palace Xinhai will solve it.

She was worried that if the front line collapsed, it would cause problems for the rebels.

Until she is sure of victory, then Kujo Sara will have no reason not to take action.

Her first priority is to clear up the internal chaos.

And now, she had to take action.

If she doesn't use the best opportunity, what kind of situation can she create?

Jiang Qing was satisfied.

This was not a long task, because as the order was issued, Kujo Sara soon noticed the obstruction from all sides.

The force of this obstruction should be more direct.

Before she had only been trying to find the problem, but now that she had found it, she was looking for evidence.

So the difficulty is increased.

This counterattack also allowed her to easily get the answer she wanted.

The shogunate may still have the dominant power over the front-line troops, but at certain critical moments, when there is a conflict with the interests of certain people, they will not work for the shogunate.

To be more precise, they would block himself, then do the work of Kujo Takayuki, and then suppress himself with the power of Kujo Takayuki.

They don’t need to convince themselves.

Because in the military system, there is always someone who is more qualified than her.

This does not mean that they betrayed the shogunate, because they were just waiting for orders from someone with higher authority.

But in Kujo Sara's view, the result was already obvious.

What these people do will not change just because of Kujo Takayuki's endorsement.

Moreover, as he allowed the enemy to infiltrate military affairs, Kujo Takayuki is not only unqualified to endorse someone, but this person should be put on trial.

The internal military chaos came so quickly that even Kujo Sara did not anticipate it.

While she was still collecting intelligence, on the other side, the order from the shogunate had already arrived at the military camp.

"Although I had guessed that the master would send someone to persuade me," Kujo Sara said with a serious look, "I didn't expect that the person who came would be you."

"I was surprised too." Kamisato Ayaka smiled, "Lord Tenryo Bugyo chose me."
