Genshin Impact: I, the Winter's Executor, am forced to work.

Old man Kujo did cultivate a fine sword, but unfortunately, he himself was unable to become its wielder.

However, can the living goddess priestess of the Coral Palace hold out?

A shrewd glint flashed in Ayato's eyes.

I've pinned the blame for treason on the Coral Palace for you, so you absolutely mustn't let me down at this crucial moment.

Brother Qin Ye.

Chapter 88 Acting depends on the audience's appreciation level

"Brother Kamo Saburo, thank you for accompanying me on this scouting trip."

Goro looked a little embarrassed.

"After all, Lord Coral Palace gave me the position of captain of the Herring Third Division. Isn't it only right that I accompany you, a great admiral, on this trip?"

Recently, the Sangokyu Palace received news that the shogunate army was making strange movements and was mobilizing troops. To be on the safe side, the Sangokyu Palace dispatched a reconnaissance team.

"But to be honest, Brother Goro, you're a general... why do you have to personally investigate such a trivial matter?"

Although Tadalia was chatting with the little dog general, his eyes were constantly searching carefully in the vicinity.

"It is precisely because he is a general that he has to do everything personally, just like Lady Coral. She can perfectly solve all problems on a daily basis, so I should learn from her."

Goro didn't pay much attention to the other person's strange look as they were looking around, since that was the purpose of this mission.

The young master shrugged helplessly: "I see, but I think sometimes division of labor is the most efficient."

For example, one person might provide the strategies, while the other only focuses on robbery and looting.

"That makes sense..."

Before General Dog could think things through, a blurry shadow appeared from the foot of the mountain ahead.

"Brother Kamo Saburo, let's hide first."

Goro grabbed the other person's arm and hid in the roadside bushes.

On the running rock formation, a man and a woman sat steadily, one in front of the other, occasionally turning their heads to look behind them.

Next to appear was a squad of the Shogunate army.

Because they were close to the Coral Palace, they deliberately reduced the size of their troops to avoid giving the impression that they were there to start a war, but each of them was a battle-hardened elite.

"It really is the Shogunate army..."

Goro pondered carefully, then took out the ingenious plan from the Coral Palace's Heart Sea and casually turned to a page.

'If we encounter a powerful enemy like the Shogunate army, the best course of action is to temporarily avoid their advance.'

As expected of Lady Coral Palace, she anticipated such a scene.

Just as he was about to speak, Tadalia suddenly stood up, and Goro tackled her into the bushes.

"Brother Kamo Saburo, calm down!"

Although Goro didn't know who was riding on the rock formation, Tadalia did!

With his eyes closed, he could tell from the footsteps that this was an artwork created by his partner.

Qin Ye, who was in the distance, had already spotted the red scarf flashing through the grass and smiled.

He first used the jade shield to protect his back, then held Columbia in his arms.

The rock formation beneath him slowed down significantly, and its already damaged legs disintegrated, instantly rendering it unable to move.

Qin Ye was thrown off balance by inertia, landing on his back and leaving a long trail on the beach.

I've been wandering around Tengdouzhai for almost two days now, so your acting skills have to be on point, Dadalia.

If you fail, I'll have no choice but to sneak into Haiqi Island and fish in the muddy waters, filing in one by one and shooting fish at the sky.

"This kid... he can really run..."

The man with the katana at his waist slowed his pace, looked at his target who had finally stopped, and let out a long breath.

The brothers took turns chasing him, blocking the road, and taking detours, but he still managed to escape. This kid is really lucky.

Although it's unknown whether he still has the strength to use the Eye of God, he has been hiding for several days and is probably exhausted.

Okawara Goemon drew his sword and approached Qin Ye step by step.

"Brother Kamo Saburo, why are you so agitated?"

Goro was somewhat puzzled as to why Tadalia was so concerned about the man in the crane cloak in front of him.

The young master's trembling hand rested on Goro's shoulder.

"He is the friend I told you about before who still works in Inazuma."

"Is it the one you said didn't want him to lose his job and come to Haiqi Island?"

Tadalia did not reply, but his increasingly clenched fingers conveyed his anxiety to Goro.

Instead of directly asking the other party to go to the rescue, the young master did the opposite.

"Brother Wulang, you should hide here."

The man tried hard to suppress the slight embarrassment he felt from the performance... and the corners of his mouth.

"Brother Kamo Saburo, what do you mean by this?"

D'Artagnan spoke earnestly.

“You are a general of the Umi-gi army, a prominent figure in the Shogunate army, while I am just a ronin who has defected. Even though I am now a squad leader in the Umi-gi army, I have never shown my face, and the other party has no idea what my moves are. I will not cause trouble for Lord Sango-no-miya.”

But now that I think about it, he sent me to kill those sea monsters... just so he wouldn't let me show my face in Inazuma Castle, right? Ah, that makes sense! You're something else, my comrade!

He took off his red scarf and wrapped it around his face to prevent anyone who had seen him from slipping through the net.

He reached out and patted the little dog general on the shoulder, his tone righteous and awe-inspiring: "Brother Goro, remember to give my regards to Lady Coral Palace and tell her to thank her for taking me in. I can't cause her any trouble because of this."

The young master leaped out, his water blade slashing at the samurai of the shogunate army.

The opponent was clearly unaware that someone would launch a sneak attack at this moment. He held the knife with both hands to defend himself, but the powerful blow made his hands go numb.

How can such a small blade possess such power?

But the samurai's vanity... his pride wouldn't allow him to back down.

"I am Goemon Ōkawara, the samurai leader of the Tenryō Regency and the greatest swordsman in Inazuma! State your name!"

The young master twirled his twin swords and placed them at his sides, his tone disdainful.

"Hmph, Araragi Kamo Saburo!"

"Great...great name!"

Qin Ye immediately responded: "It's...it's Brother Kamo Saburo."

He slowly sat up, muttering to himself.

You tell Goro that you are a former guest of the magistrate of the shrine. How could the magistrate of the shrine not know such a prestigious name!

On-site editing...

Forget it, he can't make it up anyway, let's just leave it at that.

Tartaglia met him with his sword, and the swirling swordplay instantly rendered the 'First Swordsman' unable to attack, leaving him only able to parry.

"..."

Qin Ye was about to lose his composure again.

People say he's Inazuma's number one swordsman, so give him face and fight him to a draw. It might be tough, but Goro has never fought him before, so your acting will be realistic. You'll force him to come and save you.

Upon hearing that the samurai was a general from Haiji Island, the other side would definitely have to think things through carefully. Even if the samurai was an idiot, they could just dawdle around and kill him later, wouldn't that solve the problem?

Qin Ye felt that the little girl in the red scarf in front of him hadn't even learned a tenth of his acting skills.

We've known each other for almost ten years, how come you haven't improved at all?

There was no other way but to take the stage myself.

He feigned exhaustion, clutching his chest with one hand.

"Brother Kamo Saburo, you finally escaped, there's no need for you to risk your life for me. He's the most trusted samurai of the Tenryo magistrate, he definitely has a backup plan, you can't beat him!"

Fortunately, Dadalia seemed to understand his hint, and during the second attack, he was instantly at a disadvantage, his tone slightly strained.

"Don't worry, I will definitely get you out of here."

"..."

Please act more convincingly... I beg you.

Just as Qin Ye was pondering a countermeasure, a rock arrow shot from a distance.

“Brother Kamo Saburo, I will not abandon you.”

Qin Ye's lips twitched.

Okay, this can get even more outrageous, then never mind.

Chapter 89 Three ducks are fighting, four ducks... where are the four ducks?

Ōkawara Goemon gripped his katana tightly.

"Where did this little dog come from, daring to interfere with the Shogunate army's business?"

"..."

The Eye of God, hidden in Qin Ye's arms, suddenly shone brightly.

The lute played a single note, calming the man's somewhat annoyed mood.

I'm truly impressed. Aren't you supposed to be the samurai leader of the Inazuma Tenryo Regency? You've never even seen a portrait of a rebel general?

How many brilliant and talented individuals emerged from this play?

He felt he had everything planned out perfectly, and his perfect predictions revealed that his opponent didn't make a single move.

I'll do it myself.
