"Perhaps the general was not wrong, but his will was twisted by the people of the shogunate. But I only know that I couldn't even get the relief food from Narugami Taisha Shrine in Inazuma Castle. Just when I was desperate, I filled my stomach here on Umijima."

Beidou and Anxin fell silent as they listened to the guard's words.

The guard didn't say much, but just watched them quietly.

It was not until a long time later that Beidou solemnly responded to the guard: "I understand."

An Xin didn't say much, but just quietly prepared to improve the score again in the evaluation form.

Chapter 113 Yes, there must be! (4000 words)

Two days later, Coral Palace.

"Captain Beidou, we meet again."

Xinhai and Jiang Ming meet Beidou.

"Long time no see. A lot has happened in such a short time."

"Is such that."

Several people took their seats one by one, and the scene fell into a brief silence.

Jiang Ming and Xin Hai both looked at Bei Dou.

"cough~"

Beidou coughed unnaturally, then said: "Actually, the reason I came here this time is, first, to discuss the specific matters of the goods, and second, to purchase a batch of weapons from you. The price... is negotiable, but I don't know..."

“We sold it.”

“This… huh?”

Beidou looked at Jiang Ming in surprise.

"Are you willing to sell it?"

"Of course, why not?" Xinhai looked at Beidou with a smile.

"Hahahaha, so straightforward! It's so pleasant to deal with straightforward people like you. Come on, name a price."

Jiang Ming silently handed over a price list, and Beidou reached out to take it.

The one eye that was exposed widened slightly.

Good guy!

A standard assault rifle costs 1500 million Mora, a standard pistol costs 850 million Mora, a grenade costs 200 million, and an ordinary rifle bullet costs Mora.

"Are you trying to rob me?! The Qianyan Army's standard weapon, the White Tassel Spear, is made of fine iron and costs only 200 million Mora. Is the spear cover made of gold or is the bullet made of gold?"

"Look, where can you find guns now? These are all made in military factories. You think they are too expensive, but I think they are too expensive too."

Beidou was still looking at the price list in a daze.

"Captain Beidou, our 101st Division is still waiting for production capacity."

Jiang Ming told Beidou in a tactful way that it was a seller's market now and it was good enough that he was willing to sell.

Beidou gritted his teeth.

"Okay, you guys are really capable, I admit it. How much can you sell at most?"

"A company's worth of ammunition, including two bases. But I have a favor to ask."

“Is this an additional condition?”

"Not really. We hope to ask the Southern Cross Fleet for help and bring our squad of soldiers and the corresponding weapons and ammunition to Yamagami Hideo and his men."

"Soldiers? Bring them?" Beidou had a puzzled expression on his face.

"They are in Liyue and are now Liyue's distinguished guests. They are very safe."

"Of course we believe in your strength, but our people have to travel all over Teyvat, and there will inevitably be times when you are out of reach. If we have a few guns, maybe it will be much better."

"Is this so..."

Beidou scratched his head and thought about this problem carefully.

Although it was not considered an additional condition, the other party had already mentioned it. If she refused it, especially if a deal had been reached, the relationship between the two parties would become a bit awkward, and she would feel bad about it.

However, she always felt that something was not right about bringing soldiers and weapons, and she should reject the proposal.

But the other party's reasons were legitimate, and Liyue seemed to have never had a precedent for restricting the use of weapons. At most, it required that they should not be displayed publicly in places like Liyue Harbor.

But guns are indeed different from traditional weapons.

This……

Difficult.

Beidou always feels that Liyue’s development is a bit behind the times, and its laws and regulations are even more backward.

After thinking it over again and again, Beidou decided to take it down first. Even if there were any problems, Ningguang would have to deal with them. There was no prohibition under the Liyue laws anyway.

"no problem!"

So Beidou agreed immediately.

"Then let's have a happy cooperation."

"Pleasant to work with."

Beidou shook hands with Jiang Ming and Xin Hai in turn.

The traditional etiquette of Inazuma is bowing, and the traditional etiquette of Liyue is bowing, but now, under Jiang Ming's leadership, they have all unified into shaking hands.

"Besides this, there are some other cargo lists and letters we wrote to Yamagami Hideo and others. I'll have to trouble Captain Beidou to take care of them."

"No problem." Beidou put the two small books into his arms.

In the next few days, Beidou wandered around Kaigi Island, waiting for the Southern Cross fleet to complete the loading and unloading of the cargo.

At the same time, in Inazuma Castle.

Iwasaki Masao and Kamisato Ayato met at the Mokulou Teahouse.

Iwasaki Masashi informed Kamisato Ayato of the recent plans for Umijima.

What surprised Iwasaki Masaru was that Kamisato Ayato did not say much about this, but just said that he already understood and would do the relevant cooperation work.

"Don't you think that starting a war at this time will increase the burden on the Inazuma people?"

After the meeting, Iwasaki Masaru couldn't help but ask his own questions.

This is somewhat inconsistent with the person Kamisato Ayato that Iwasaki Masaru knew.

"Of course I know about this, but I also know that even if we do nothing, things will not get better. And if we do something, maybe there will be a turnaround in the near future. Mr. Iwasaki, struggles always involve bloodshed."

Kamisato Ayato looked at Iwasaki Masaru and said to him word by word: "The blood of the Raiden Goden and the Kamisato family has already been shed. Sooner or later, he will have to pay back the blood debt of Kujo Takayuki."

Iwasaki remained silent.

At this moment, his understanding of Kamisato Ayato became more complete.

What was his previous perception of Kamisato Ayato? An outstanding politician who worked for the stable development of Inazuma, for the prosperity of Inazuma, and for the people of Inazuma to live and work in peace and contentment?

Now, it is the more real side.

Kamisato Ayato's actions may also include revenge on the Kujo family. He also has selfish motives. He is not a saint. He just can distinguish between the priorities and does not conflict with official duties. He also has enough courage and ability to do these things.

Iwasaki Masaru had suspected long ago that when the Five Raiden Masters were wiped out, the Kamisato family was severely punished, and Kujo Takayuki was no exception.

Now, through Kamisato Ayato's statement, this point has been made clear, and it should be true.

Although Lord Yae saved the Kamisato family, the old patriarch died of depression. It was after this that Kujo Takayuki began to dominate the world.

Iwasaki Masaru now even suspects that this was a conspiracy by Kujo Takayuki from the beginning, with the aim of attacking Kujo Takayuki's political enemies, the Kamisato family of the shrine magistrate.

Especially now that it is almost obvious that Kujo Takayuki is secretly colluding with the Fatui. With the power of the Fatui, it seems reasonable to wipe out the Five Legends of Raiden.

While Iwasaki was thinking, Kamisato Ayato's emotions quickly calmed down.

"Sorry, I lost my temper."

Kamisato Ayato bent down slightly and lowered her head to express her apologies to Iwasaki Masaru.

"You're welcome."

"But Mr. Iwasaki, have you ever heard of an old saying from Liyue?"

"What?" Iwasaki was looking at Kamisato Ayato.

"If you want to destroy him, you must first drive him crazy. The more frantically he harvests now, the stronger the forces opposing him will be, and the more embarrassing his death will be in the future."

Iwasaki nodded and said, "I understand."

"That's good. Your proposal is actually very good. It can minimize the casualties of innocent people. I will bring up the issue of opening a refugee channel at the nearest meeting. I hope Mr. Iwasaki will be willing to help then."

"No problem, our newspaper will be up and running soon."

Kamisato Ayato gradually felt relieved.

He still recognized Iwasaki Masaru's abilities.

He would propose opening the passage, but Iwasaki Masaru would need to implicitly express their intentions and conditions and convey them to Kujo Takayuki. This would be the safest way.

Just as Jiang Ming expected, the next day, Kujo Takayuki could hardly hold back his laughter when reading the news in the newspaper.

"I just wanted to take a nap and someone brought me a pillow. God help me, God help me! General, please bless me!"

Kujo Takayuki clasped his hands together and bowed in the direction of the castle tower.

"Now, I wonder what else those people who can only grumble and chant can do. It's a good opportunity to get rid of them."

The only pity is that the old man Okazaki's people have been quite quiet recently, so he couldn't find any handle on them and it was difficult to take action.

Kujo Takayuki touched his chin and thought about how to maximize his benefits in this incident.

So much so that at a meeting a few days later, when Kamisato Ayato proposed opening a refugee channel due to the excessive refugee pressure in the shogunate, he pretended to refuse, said a few meaningless words, and even agreed without much bargaining.

As long as Kamisato Ayato stops complaining and can get [the other side] to cooperate with his actions, it's just a few refugees, right?

Let go, let go.

Just as Kamisato Ayato said, keeping these people would be a trouble. If they were willing to go to Kaigi Island, they would be a trouble for Kaigi Island.

They are just some poor guys who have been squeezed dry and may riot at any time. I don't know why those people in the Coral Palace take them so seriously.

It saved him trouble, created trouble for Kaigi Island, made Kamisato Ayato shut up, and made Coral Palace cooperate with his actions.

There aren't so many good things happening at once in this world. He just got lucky.

As for whether Kamisato Ayato and Coral Palace have any abnormal or excessive thoughts.

Oh, it doesn’t matter. The General will take action.

With this thought in mind, Kujo Takayuki's eyes were filled with benefits.

After Beidou's Southern Cross Fleet left the port and returned to Liyue, without outsiders, Inazuma's environment became quiet again.

But this time, many people are keenly aware that this is just the calm before the storm.

The calm is suffocating.

Both Kaigi Island and the shogunate were quietly gathering troops and allocating supplies.

Among them, the Himuki Village on Yain Island, which is on the front line, is complaining bitterly about this. Representatives from various families in Himuki Village are now gathering at the shrine to discuss countermeasures.

"Village head, the shogunate has sent more troops! Now they are using all kinds of pretexts to seize all our land. Without our land, how can we live?"

"Yes, village chief, life is unbearable! I haven't had a full meal for a month."

"Please save some food. At least you are not full. Have you forgotten the people who ran to Haigi Island because they couldn't get any food?"

The sturdy man who complained about not having enough to eat blushed and angrily accused the person who made the sarcastic remark: "Look at what you are saying. I worked so hard on the farm before, and it was no problem to feed a family of four. Now I can't even get enough to eat. Is this right? Huh?! Is this reasonable? You are also involved in such a thing, right?!"
