Original God, but the real world

Chapter 142 141-The matter of sacrificing one's own relatives for the sake of justice

Coral Palace Xinhai blinked at Jiang Qing.

She was also somewhat curious about where Jiang Qing's strength came from.

"Wu Lang said at the time that his physical fitness and elemental power were excellent, but his fighting skills were quite poor." Shanhu Palace Xinhai tilted his head, "He said he couldn't understand why Jiang Qing had such strength."

It can't be that he found some remote mountain forest and honed his skills, right?
"A quick trick." Jiang Qing didn't mean to say more. "I received the gift of the God of Rock and gained a little bit of power."

"Because it is a power bestowed by God, I cannot master it very well."

"Do you still have this kind of relationship with the God of Rock?" Kujo Sara raised his eyebrows.

In an instant, she had a lot of guesses.

"Liyue and I don't have that kind of relationship." Jiang Qing knew what Kujo Sara was thinking. "Liyue has no reason to interfere in Inazuma's internal affairs, and I'm not a member of the Seven Stars."

The power of Liyue belongs to the Seven Stars.

If you are not a member of the Seven Stars, you naturally won’t have any power in Liyue.

"I only represent myself," Jiang Qing added.

Morax's divine power is a symbol of status.

Even though Jiang Qing performed well in the war between the rebels and the shogunate, once he took on this identity, people would naturally pay attention to Morax rather than him.

Even his actions will make people speculate whether they are related to Liyue.

Because Morax is the Rock God of Liyue.

In comparison, Jiang Qing's identity is insignificant and can only serve as a carrier.

This means that Jiang Qing has a considerable amount of political funds in Liyue. If he is willing to cooperate, Qixing will surely not mind giving him wealth and glory.

Kujo Sara's worries are very normal.

She had always suspected that the development of the matter was unexpectedly bizarre, and if the Fatui and Liyue were involved, it would not be strange that the situation on the front line was so strange under the interference of the two countries.

After all, the Seven Stars and the Fatui do have this ability.

It is not impossible for them to disrupt the front-line troops, but it is not worth it.

But it is hard to say for the Fatui. For a man like this who has the power bestowed by the god Morax, the Seven Stars may be willing to pay a little for him.

"So there is such an identity." Coral Palace Xinhai didn't care much about it.

Her eyes flickered slightly and her expression was relaxed.

Kujo Sara stared at Jiang Qing, and Jiang Qing looked at her with a normal expression.

In fact, Ningguang did take action.

Liyue did not deploy large-scale official forces in countries such as Mondstadt, Inazuma, and even Xumi.

Since ancient times, Liyue has had no habit of interfering in other countries.

But the fools are different.

Judging from the current situation, Chief Inspector Ilok of the Knights of Favonius, Liyue's Tianshu Star Candidate Zhiyi... The Fatui really have arranged infiltration, and the infiltration work is done very well.

Their people truly hold high positions in another country.

Among the seven stars of all generations, Ningguang is not the only one who has thought about planning for other countries, but Ningguang is definitely a rare person who actually makes arrangements and manages them.

Because the Seven Stars of their generation really need to face the threat of foreign enemies.

The plan of the Fatui is already laid out.

Rather than saying that trouble follows Ying wherever she goes, it would be more accurate to say that the Fatui have already made a plan. Before Ying arrived in this country, they had already begun preparations and were in the process of implementing the plan.

The trouble had been ready for her, she just happened to be there.

With the enemy so active, Ningguang certainly didn't think about just defending Liyue.

The Seven Stars of all generations may have doubted the Fatui's stance, but the Fatui at that time had not yet made a plan.

They have no intention of confronting the Seven Stars.

Without revealing their own ambitions, the Seven Stars of all generations never thought of fighting to the death with the Fatui.

Ningguang, Keqing and their group really want to fight the enemy.

Ningguang didn't intend to stay in Liyue forever. She wanted to fight the Fatui in other places, even in winter.

Ye Lan gave a very concise answer: I can’t do it.

The Fatui are able to run rampant outside of Solstice because of the combat power of the Fatui executives and their years of operation.

No one knew this group of people were so greedy before and thought it was just a routine cooperation.

By the time the Fatui's plot was exposed, it was already too late.

Even from within the shogunate army, they were able to shake Kujo Takayuki's orders, and this silent invasion had been accomplished.

Ningguang had this idea, but planning and making moves took time.

The plan to seize the Heart of God was launched at least a hundred years ago. They have been planning for such a long time in order to obtain the Heart of God.

To rearrange the chessboard that others have been operating for a hundred years, to stagger the opponent's chess pieces and to develop one's own hidden lines, this is no longer a challenge for Ye Lan.

This is simply not realistic.

The Fatui are not stupid. They have been running the place for such a long time that it is already very difficult for others to interfere.

You want him not to notice, but to be able to counterattack at some point, which is too difficult.

Ningguang accepted Ye Lan's idea, so she began to think about a simpler method.

To fight against the Fatui, you don't need to use your own strength.

Since the external forces are too weak, it is better to try another way to fight the Fatui.

After the incident with Osel, Ningguang realized that the Fatui would often not care about the lives of their own people for their own purposes.

In the early stages, they may use rhetoric of cooperation and mutual benefit, and exchange the other party's trust for their size and concessions.

But once the moment of need comes, all previous contracts and all peaceful and equal cooperation are false.

The truth is, they will do whatever it takes to get what they want.

And such behavior is bound to anger their previous partners.

The Knights, Kujo Takayuki, the sages of the Court of the Decrees... they all used to be partners of the Fatui, and in the end, without exception, they all turned against the Fatui.

In other words, the Fatui's current partners will actually be their enemies at some point in the future.

What determines whether they are friends or enemies is whether the Fatui take action.

Interests can win over most people.

With the size of Sowton, the technology of the Fatui, and the wealth of the Northland Bank, they can offer a price that most people are unwilling to refuse.

This is the case with Kujo Takayuki.

He was unable to refuse the Fatui's offer, even though he knew that the Fatui had ulterior motives, but this did not affect his desire.

So he became a partner of the Fatui, and everyone seemed to be each other's allies, helping each other.

In fact, if Kujo Takayuki had known earlier that the Fatui wanted the Shogun's Heart of God, his first reaction would have been to kick this group of people out immediately.

This is very offensive to General Raiden.

The Heart of God is something that clearly belongs to God. To put it bluntly, the shogunate may not have this precious Heart of God.

Even if the shogunate collapsed, as long as Inazuma still had people, Narukami would not lack faith or tools to help manage faith.

If there is no shogunate, we can replace it with some other ruling tool.

But the heart of God is different.

This is something that only the general is qualified to decide, and others cannot covet it.

Even if Kujo Takayuki didn't know, after he got enough profits, he still wanted to kick the Fatui out.

This group of people have a very bad reputation.

Neither Kujo Takayuki nor the great sage of the Institute of Religion actually trusts the Fatui.

Their cooperation with the Fatui has a surprisingly consistent way of thinking - the Fatui have what I want, so I'll cooperate with them temporarily, and when I'm about to succeed, I'll kick them out.

The result was no exception, the Fatui got what they wanted, and the two parties who thought they could control the Fatui were all doomed.

Ningguang doesn't know the future, but she knows how the Fatui think.

This is the most obvious form of arrogance, not caring about anyone's losses and only focusing on what you want.

This is the second path Ningguang chose.

No matter what the Fool wants to do, if he wants something, it will definitely infringe on the interests of someone.

These people will become accomplices of the Fools for the sake of profit, and will naturally betray the Fools for the sake of profit.

Her partner in Inazuma is the company's boss.

The person who finalized the cooperation was Ganyu.

In fact, the company magistrate was not a very good partner, but after asking Jiang Qing, she found that Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke were not worth fighting for, so she simply gave up.

It’s not that they can’t try, but they and Jiang Qing are obviously hostile to each other.

For the sake of two people who she was not sure whether they could get what they wanted and whose value to Liyue was limited, Ningguang simply gave up on making an enemy of Jiang Qing, who had received the power bestowed by the god Morax.

In this incident, the people arranged by Ningguang did not affect the front-line troops.

But she influenced the stance that the society took.

In the end, the answer given by Kamisato Ayaka was that she not only instigated Kujo Sara's determination to choose opposition, but also took a group of shogunate soldiers away to fight against the Fatui.

This Princess Egret killed a lot of Fatui's vanguard troops during the [Gokage Furnace Heart], which made the officer in charge of the Evil Eye Factory completely determined, and in turn stabbed the shogunate's front line.

Of course he knew that Kamisato Ayaka and the people behind her were on the same side as Kujo Takayuki.

But at least they are all Inazuma people.

Kujo Takayuki has already revealed his intentions, and the leader of the Fatui has no intention of continuing to play along.

People on both sides are from the shogunate. If the Tenryo Bugyo wants to take action, the Shrine Bugyo also wants to join in the fun, so let's deal with them together!

Kamisato Ayaka was unaware of this.

She was just trying to win over Kujo Sara according to the arrangements of Yae Kamiko and Kamisato Ayato.

But the plan was laid by Kamisato Ayato. She followed her brother's arrangements and "by the way" turned the situation of the front-line army, which was still acceptable, into a mess. No one could continue to save face and could only choose to completely oppose.

Behind a war are the efforts of many parties.

The nine-striped Sara is really unclear.

The outcome of a war should be decided by swords, just like what happened to Jiang Qing in the end.

But before this decisive war, all parties had actually been working hard, and finally created such an opportunity.

Jiang Qing and Coral Palace Xinhai seized this opportunity and brought down the shogunate in one go.

This is the best result expected.

The shogunate can be completely destroyed in one go.

Even if Kujo Takayuki wanted to reverse the defeat, it would take enough time to reorganize the army.

And the time in between is really too long.

However, there is no need to tell Kujo Sara about these people's efforts.

Just consider it as fate's mercy, and I won by chance.

"This level of identity has great value, but since I received the God's gift, I want more powerful power." Jiang Qing said softly, "So I didn't stay in Liyue, but came to Inazuma."

If they stay in Liyue, the Seven Stars won’t mind having an extra mascot.

As long as he is not greedy, Qixing is willing to give him wealth and glory.

But Jiang Qing was a little too greedy, so he did not stay in Liyue.

"You have something to ask of the general?" Coral Palace Xinhai finally understood Jiang Qing's thoughts, "But the general is unlikely to help you, right?"

"Since you joined the resistance, I have only just now learned about your goals."

Jiang Qing shook his head. "No, my goal is to ensure that Haizhi Island can continue to be passed down."

"This is what I promised you."

As for his own goal, it was just an attempt, so there was no need to have too high expectations.

"Then, Miss Kujo Sara, please believe in our desire for peace." Jiang Qing looked at Kujo Sara and said lightly, "Kaijima's desire for peace will surely satisfy anyone who resists war."

"But we also know that the best way to protect peace is not to take off our armor and weapons and show ourselves harmless to the shogunate."

"Surrendering brings death, not justice."

His smile was mocking. "Master Kujo Takayuki has fully demonstrated this truth - when he suspects that you have the possibility of resistance, you must really have the ability and willingness to do so."

“He is indeed a good teacher. He taught us a lot.”

The most important thing, of course, is to seek peace through struggle, and peace will survive; if you seek peace through compromise, peace will die.

Coral Palace Xinhai was the first to realize this, so when Kujo Takayuki's conspiracy came upon her, she immediately chose to resist instead of compromising and seeking peace.

If she had asked for peace at that time, there would be no way to turn the situation around now.

Since she chose to fight and has won, she should be qualified to reason.

Of course the winner has the right to speak.

"We have already won." Jiang Qing was quite sincere. He opened the tent to show Jiu Tiao Sha Luo the situation outside. "The rebels spared your lives to prove to the general that this internal struggle has ended."

"We are asking for peace from the shogun, not the shogunate."

"The shogunate has already lost."

Kujo Sara remained silent.

Her silence was not entirely because she didn't want to cooperate, the key point was that she had no idea what Jiang Qing wanted to do.

Sum...
How to find the sum?

In this situation, Coral Palace Xinhai couldn't send someone to Inazuma Castle and submit a letter of resignation to the general.

There is no way Kujo Takayuki would give this opportunity.

As a Tianling official, it is not a big problem to use the Eye Hunting Order to make use of the issue or even seek personal gain.

But he shouldn't have lost.

There are actually many reasons for the failure of the front-line army.

If it were a normal situation, Kujo Takayuki would definitely be able to get away with it after running the business for so long.

He can even find a scapegoat and completely shake off the issue of dereliction of duty, as if everything was caused by the Fools or certain people, and in short, he was also deceived.

But that doesn't make sense.

The general doesn't care about things like reason. He just needs to see the results.

As a result, the frontline troops were defeated.

From this moment on, Kujo Takayuki's value plummeted.

He can accept a selfish Tianling Bugo, but he cannot accept a Tianling Bugo who can lose even a battle at Haizhi Island.

Tianling Fengxing is in charge of military affairs.

It would not do if the person in charge of military affairs could not defeat the enemy.

For a country where theocracy and monarchy coexist, if he fails in his duty before the gods, he has already lost his greatest confidence.

This reckoning was bound to come, it was just that the general was still watching, wanting to see how he would end it.

His only way to turn the situation around was to defeat the rebels before the general lost his patience.

In this case, the general might not clear things up too thoroughly and leave some hope for the Kujo family.

At this time, you tell him that the rebels are planning to surrender?

After they defeated the shogunate's front-line troops, they tied up the shogunate's remnants and arrived at the castle tower, saying, "General, I am from Inazuma, and I want to listen to your guidance."

The political capital in the hands of the rebels is not these defeated soldiers, but Kujo Takayuki's face.

Every second they lived was a mockery of Kujo Takayuki's incompetence and stupidity.

There is no way Kujo Takayuki would give Kaijima any chance.

"What are you going to do?" Kujo Sara pursed his lips, "If the reason is right, I can help."

Traitors should be eliminated.

"The Shebuxing is our man, and the Yingsi family should have already started activities." Jiang Qing did not hesitate, "These people will stand on our side."

Coral Palace Xinhai, who was sitting nearby, hummed a tune.

These people certainly did not choose the rebels from the beginning.

What really determines their choice is the victory of the rebels.

Only when you win, they are your allies.

As advantages were gradually established, the relationship between these people and Haizhi Island became closer and closer.

And now is the time when both sides cooperate most tacitly.

Once Kujo Takayuki falls, everyone becomes competitors again.

"I just need a chance to enter the castle tower, and the Eightfold God will give me this opportunity." Jiang Qing was very confident, "Lord Gongsi will not value me, but Ganyu will help me get a chance."

Yae Goddess has already selected the warriors.

Stories like saving the world only require one warrior, because there is only one holy sword and one astrologer at the entrance of the village.

But Jiang Qing was not going to be a warrior, nor did he need the chance to be the Eightfold Son of God.

What he needs is an opportunity to meet God, and many people can give him this opportunity.

There are also many people who are looking forward to his audience with God.

"what can I do?"

Kujo Sara asked.

"Come with me to see Lord Narukami." Jiang Qing said seriously, "I will try to overthrow Kujo Takayuki, and at that time, I will need your support."

Kujo Sara did not agree.

"Wouldn't it be a bit too early to open it?" Coral Palace Xinhai came closer, "After all, she is the adopted daughter of Kujo Takayuki."

The complicated thing about many things is that it is impossible to easily conclude whether a person is good or bad.

There is no doubt that Kujo Takayuki is a traitor to the country.

He was not unaware of the threats posed by the Closure Order and the Eye Hunting Order, nor was he unaware of the bad reputation of the Fatui, but none of these stopped him.

Because on the other side of the scale are family and personal interests.

As a minister of heaven, he enjoyed power but did not shoulder the responsibilities that came with power.

But for Kujo Sara, Kujo Takayuki was not just a traitor to the country.

Jiang Qing shook his head.

"In fact, I have thought of many excuses. For example, Kujo Takayuki adopted you because he valued your talent; or he trained you because he wanted you to bring enough rewards to the Kujo family after you hold a high position."

"The core is one thing. He trained you out of his own interests. You don't have to take it too seriously."

He paused, and Kujo Sara's expression was somewhat gloomy. "Then what?"

"Then I don't think so." Jiang Qing walked in front of Kujo Sara, "Whatever he did, whatever he thought, these can't cover up the fact that he has done you a favor."

Those statements are too one-sided.

Kujo Sara couldn't get out, and Jiang Qing had no way to convince himself.

"When I was in Mondstadt, I actually received the favor of the acting leader of the Knights of Favonius."

"I also showed my value first before she was willing to invest in me and give me some power."

"Later, I tried to intervene in Mondstadt's internal affairs and helped her with some things. I think I did not let her investment down."

"We were trading, and I brought in returns that were equal to the investment. I don't owe Qin anything," Jiang Qing said, "but I'm still very grateful to her."

Liyue has investments from people like Hall Master Hu, Ningguang, and Ganyu, while Inazuma has the Coral Palace Heart Sea.

Jiang Qing has brought corresponding benefits to everyone and is truly worthy of their trust.

Even so, he was still very grateful to these people.

Investing and then bringing in returns should make both parties even, but Jiang Qing doesn't think so, and neither does Kujo Sara.

She still cared about the kindness of Kujo Takayuki, but at the same time she deeply realized that Kujo Takayuki was a borer to Inazuma.

Logically, she should get rid of this traitor for Inazuma, but she didn't want to identify Kujo Takayuki in front of the general because this time, Kujo Takayuki might die.

The situation of Kujo Takayuki in the plot line was not that bad, after all, the shogunate was still very stable at that time.

The final result was the same. Kujo Sara's attempt did not cause any trouble to Kujo Takayuki. If it weren't for Ying "persuading" Lei Dianying, nothing serious might have happened to Kujo Takayuki.

But the situation is different now. Kujo Sara is very clear that the life of this patriarch is really hanging by a thread.

Jiang Qing didn't dare to say that he could convince the other party about the matter of sacrificing one's own relatives for the sake of justice.
