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

Qin Ye looked on in shock and admiration: "Those sharp warrior eyes, those alert dog ears, that tail that's sharp yet well-maintained and shiny, and that bow technique... could you be...!"

The words suddenly stuck in his throat, which to outsiders seemed to indicate that he was unwilling to reveal Goro's identity.

This move deliberately lowered his own rank, hoping that such a description would reveal Goro's true identity.

As for why he didn't call out the names, firstly, it shows that he was aware of this and wouldn't harm his teammates; secondly, it demonstrates that even though he was so excited that he almost let it slip, his thinking remained clear, showing that he was very rational; and thirdly, if he had actually called out the names, it would have felt like he was doing it on purpose, and he wouldn't have left any room for criticism.

Although this performance severely lowered his standard...

"Please don't say that, you flatter me."

Goro put his hands behind his head, looking quite embarrassed by the praise, and his tail began to wag incessantly.

After all, praising the tail perfectly hit his sensitive spot.

"..."

I wasn't complimenting you!

Columbia chuckled softly.

D'Artagnan felt somewhat helpless.

My friend... I know what kind of characters your opponents are in Winter and Liyue, but these guys are really utterly useless. Even I could easily outmaneuver them with their schemes... probably.

Qin Ye then turned his attention to the 'Number One Swordsman'.

He gripped his katana tightly with both hands, his face full of disdain: "Heh, as expected, a traitor who has never seen the world, just a little dog."

"..."

The way you're doing this makes me look more like that comedian.

"Leader!"

The soldiers from the Heavenly Territory behind him ran up quickly and whispered a few words in his ear.

Goemon was shocked, but quickly composed himself: "Haha... I didn't need you to remind me, I already knew it, you're the little dog general of the Sea Spirit Army!"

"..."

Qin Ye sighed inwardly.

Alright, alright, no matter how tortuous the process was, at least the final outcome is back on track.

Don't expect too much from a B-movie like this.

"As expected, we were exposed..."

Goro frowned.

Qin Ye: "..."

After merging into the ranks, I bet Okawara Goemon-kun definitely won't run back to the base to report the news.

The moment the thought formed in his mind, the samurai opposite him leaped up, sword in hand: "Heh heh, watch me capture you all and hand you over to General Kujo! Take this!"

I knew it!

"Partner, lend a hand, let's keep him here forever..."

Tadalia understood Qin Ye's gaze.

"Oh dear, Mr. Kamo, what are you talking about? I am a civil official, not good at fighting."

"I understand, I understand."

To be honest, I've never really lost a fight. So, what should I do next?

"Kamo Saburo, go ahead and make your move. I'll protect you from the sidelines."

Qin Ye reminded him again.

"learn!"

The young master's smile instantly blossomed.

Buddy, I'm relieved to hear you say that.

"Brother Kamo Saburo, I'll go hold off the soldiers behind you. You don't need to worry about your friends getting hurt. Do your best to keep them here."

Goro charged into the enemy ranks with his bow in hand. His swift movements tore a gap in the ranks, and the ordinary soldiers around him were completely unable to resist him.

Qin Ye observed carefully from behind.

While Goro may not be very good at friendly communication and white lies, he is indeed a qualified soldier once he enters the battlefield.

Moreover, it is said that he always charged to the front line in battle, which was a guarantee of the team's morale.

In addition...

The dog general, who was fighting in the distance, kept his eyes on the enemy in front of him. The soldiers of the shogunate army quietly circled around behind him, but he noticed them instantly and forced them back with a single blow.

"Generals with intuitive abilities..."

It can be said that this type of leader is the most troublesome type on the battlefield. No matter how meticulous your plan is, or how well you can fool the enemy on the surface, the moment the enemy steps into your trap, they will inexplicably sense it, causing you to fail at the last minute.

Capitano perfectly embodies this principle.

Not only does he possess combat strength surpassing that of a young master, but he also has beast-like intuition, a character that loves his soldiers like his own children, and the courage to lead from the front. Furthermore, he is well-versed in military strategy.

Fortunately, that person's goal in collecting the Heart of God was in Nata; otherwise, if they were working together, the pressure would have been quite immense.

In other words, if Capitano had come with him, he could have simply sidelined the Coral Palace and then fought a tough battle.

Shame on D'Artagnan, shame on Scaramucci, shame on... well, Columbia isn't so shameful.

As the blades clashed, Goemon's hands began to tremble.

"What? The number one swordsman of Inazuma? You're already done for?"

The twin swords in Tadalia's hands had long since been replaced with samurai swords. Even though he chose to fight with the weapon that Ōkawara Goemon was most skilled with, the samurai could not withstand the third move.

"All show and no substance."

Achieving results is the result of hard work and perseverance, not something that can be achieved by boasting about one's reputation.

The young master glanced at Qin Ye and saw that the other man was giving him a thumbs up.

Sure enough, his partner also felt that this kind of person shouldn't be tolerated.

He held his katana horizontally in front of him, water swirling around the blade, and stomped hard on the ground, leaving deep footprints in the sand. The man's figure vanished instantly.

"The momentum is like a raging torrent."

The blade flashed from the ground all the way to the man's helmet; the heavy armor was no match for the full force of the blade.

The young master sheathed his sword, and the blood trembled. Only after the katana completely dissipated did the body of the samurai behind him slowly crack open from the center line.

"I'm sorry, but the title of Inazuma's number one swordsman has officially changed hands."

"..."

My dearest Tadalia, is it possible... that you are actually a Winterborn?

Seeing their leader cleaved in two with a single stroke, the surrounding shogunate troops instantly lost the will to continue fighting and retreated in panic.

Goro scratched his head.

"No... if they report this to the Shogunate army..."

He could understand the reasons behind this, and most importantly...

They got carried away and hadn't had their fill of fighting yet.

"Brother Kamosaburo."

He wanted to take the young master with him in the pursuit, but found that the young master had already started exchanging pleasantries with his companion.

His ears drooped down.

I felt a little embarrassed to interrupt them.

There's no way around it... we haven't seen each other for so long.

Goro had no choice but to draw his bow and shoot arrows alone, continuously knocking down the fleeing soldiers.

"General, you don't need to do that."

Seeing that his good deed was about to be ruined, Qin Ye quickly spoke up to stop him.

What do you mean by this?

"General, the Shogunate Army and the Sea Spirit Army are currently locked in a fierce battle. However, the Tengu General of the Shogunate Army dares not easily use force in order to protect the Shogun's reputation. If you let them escape back, it can be considered as rescuing one's own people from a diplomatic perspective, leaving room for maneuver. But if you go so far as to exterminate them, it will be no different from declaring war."

Goro pondered carefully, flipping through the secret plan in Kaihai's pocket. Most of them advised him to temporarily avoid confrontation and try not to escalate the conflict.

"You're right, I was too hasty."

As expected of Saburo Kamo's partner! He's really got some skills! His plan coincides perfectly with Lord Sango's!

May I ask your honorable name?

Goro tried his best to appear respectful, wanting to accept such a talented person for Lady Sango and lighten her burden.

"Haha, my partner, his name is..."

Just as D'Artagnan was about to speak, Qin Ye interrupted him.

"My name is Takenaka Juro. Please take care of me."

The young master froze on the spot.

"?"

Partner? Didn't you say before that you wanted me to restore the glory of the Eleventh Seat, and that my name is Kamo Saburo and yours is Kamo Shiro?

Chapter 90 Substituting One Thing for Another

"Brother Shijuro, how did you and Brother Kamo Saburo meet?"

Qin Ye and the others set foot on the territory of Haiqi Island with Wulang. On the way, the understanding general wanted to understand their relationship in order to get closer to them.

"Me and him? I've known him since before he even knew how to fight."

"what?"
