Tewat's Me Undercover in Solstice Winter

Chapter 161 What I saw and heard on the outlying island

After returning from Narujin Taisha Shrine.

Lin Feng and the others did not go to Zhidong's embassy immediately.

Instead, he was invited to Kamiya's house.

It seems that Kamisato Ayato has been waiting for a long time.

It should be that since Lin Feng and the others entered Naruto Shrine, he has been waiting at the foot of the mountain and never left.

This extremely clever young Patriarch.

The mind is extremely active.

He knows one thing.

That is, it is impossible for Yae Shenzi to treat each other with such respect as purely as a member of the Ice God.

unless.

Lin Feng came here with the divine will of the Ice Queen.

or.

That person named Zhongli, who looks like a decent person at first glance, is the one with the will of the ice god.

But either way.

To be able to make Yae Shenzi pay so much attention to it.

talks between them.

Maybe it will have a great impact on Daozuma's future.

Therefore, Ayato Shenli was even more enthusiastic than before, and led Lin Feng and the others in the direction of Shenli House.

Looking at Ayato Kamisato who was chatting enthusiastically with Zhong Li.

Yula poked Lin Feng with her elbow, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you guys almost beat you to death before? Why doesn't he seem to have nothing wrong with him?"

The contrast is a bit big.

Yura didn't react for a while.

Back then when I was in Daozuma.

Lin Feng made the Shenli family miserable, so miserable that even Yae Shenzi, who was hiding in the shadow of Xiangshan, had to come forward to save their family once.

That would be an ugly word.

Shenli Lingren really wanted to tear Lin Feng's corpse into thousands of pieces.

Yet now.

His attitude towards Lin Feng was as affectionate as a best friend whom he hadn't seen for many years.

There is absolutely no trace of hypocrisy.

"Because now I have no conflict of interest with him."

Lin Feng spread his hands and said, "Kamili Lingren wants to pry out some of Dao's wife's future movements from us."

"He is familiar with me and knows that I am not easy to deal with."

"So he went to Mr. Zhongli, trying to see if he could find out any information that would be beneficial to him."

Hearing this explanation, Yura shook her head and said nothing more.

As the family that cooperates with Narujin Taisha the most, Kamisato Yashiki is at the foot of Mt. Kageko.

down the mountain.

A few people soon arrived at this classic yet luxurious mansion.

And just when Lin Feng just showed up at Shenli House.

A small figure suddenly fell from the tree with a plop, and then disappeared in place like a gust of wind.

"Yo, isn't this the little girl Zaoyou?"

Seeing this familiar little figure, Lin Feng burst out laughing.

This little guy was taken care of by himself at the beginning, it seems that he was psychologically shadowed.

Kanli Ayato also saw Zaoyou's figure running away, chuckled and said, "Zaoyou's favorite thing is to be lazy after work, and we have to spend a lot of effort to find her every time."

Zhong Li also casually commented. "Very interesting stealth technique."

However, he said so.

Lin Feng became interested.

Can be called interesting by a god.

Zaoyou's whirring flow seems to be something.

So Lin Feng asked pointedly. "What is this Wuhuliu, is Zaoyou the only descendant now?"

"Ah."

Kamisato Ayato nodded, and while leading Lin Feng and the others to walk in, he introduced: "Wuhuryu is a ninjutsu school that has been passed down for hundreds of years."

"It's just that today, apart from Zaoyou, there is no one in this faction anymore."

talking.

Kamisato Ayato sighed.

The heirs of each generation of Wuhu-ryu ninjutsu are the intelligence leaders of the final show.

But back then he wanted to save the precarious Shenli family.

Had to use some special techniques to extract power from the crystallized bone marrow in order to quickly increase the strength of the final battle.

The consequences of doing so.

That is, although the trained ninjas are very powerful, their lifespan is greatly reduced.

Almost no one makes it past 20.

Back then, there were no less than 50 ninjas who received Wuhuliu training with Soyu.

finally.

Only Zaoyou was left alive and kicking to this day.

It is also because of this.

This Wuhuliu who once had a complete ninjutsu inheritance and was very good at hiding and teasing people.

Up to now, there are only some ninjutsu such as escape and substitute.

To paraphrase an old saying from Liyue.

This is called fishing out of water.

just.

Given the circumstances of the Kamisato family at the time, if they did not do so, the family would be in danger.

After knowing that the Wuhu tradition has been broken.

Lin Feng could only secretly express his regret.

The things that the gods find interesting are just gone.

The gala dinners at the Shenli family are also extremely high.

Except for the patriarch, Kamisato Ayato.

The egret princess Kamisato Ayaka who was once attacked by Lin Feng with her name also attended the dinner.

Same as her brother.

Kamisato Ayaka's performance was extremely calm, and she was able to chat and laugh with Yura during the dinner.

Thomas, the domestic officer who has a close relationship with the brothers and sisters of Kamisato, acts as a waiter.

It can be said.

The sincerity shown by the Kagami family is not lacking.

There is a saying that stretches out one's hand and does not hit a smiling face.

Kamisato Ayato did enough of his posture, and he didn't put on any airs of the patriarch.

Therefore, he has been implicitly hinting at him.

Lin Feng vaguely reminded him that Dao's wife might undergo major changes in the near future, so he should prepare early.

As for what changes will happen.

Lin Feng did not elaborate.

There is no way to elaborate.

Because the dialogue at Narujin Taisha is the last.

Lei Movie did not immediately agree to his proposal.

But she didn't say no to it either.

Instead, he said the same thing as Lin Feng's suggestion.

She wanted to see Dao's wife before making a decision.

Yae Kamiko also agreed with a smile, and said that she would bring Liyue's delegation with her when the time came.

Two gods, two half-immortals and one Liyue Qixing.

Truly a top team.

Lin Feng, who wanted to act as a temporary tour guide, felt like Alexander just by listening to it.

After a reception banquet that could be called the guest of honor was over.

Lin Feng politely declined the invitation of Ayato Shenli to stay overnight.

Back to the long-lost winter embassy.

The new Envoy of Solstice Winter is a senior inspector general who is nominally on the same level as Lin Fengping.

But after the executive banquet.

The identity of Lin Fengbing's family members has been passed down.

The two who were on equal footing in the past are now in very different positions.

For Lin Feng's sudden arrival without any notice.

He didn't ask.

He just prepared the room for Lin Feng and the others respectfully, and stopped bothering them.

the next day.

Lin Feng and Zhong Li came to Naruto Shrine early.

Yura didn't follow him.

It's not that Lin Feng doesn't want to take her with him.

But the team I'm going to lead today is really scary
It would be fine if Yula didn't know the identities of Zhongli and Lei Yingying.

Now she knows.

I'm afraid that if I walk on the road with her, I won't even dare to speak.

Such an abnormal reaction is likely to be seen by Gan Yu and the others.

Anyway, the Solstice Winter Embassy is very safe now.

He simply didn't let her follow.

When he came to Naruto Shrine again and saw Lei Movie's new attire, Lin Feng couldn't help but twitched his mouth.

At this time, Lei Movie had already taken off her luxurious purple kimono that symbolized the status of a general.

Instead, she changed into a conservative red and white maiden costume.

The purple braid that had been tied for thousands of years was also untied, and tied into the same style as Yae Miko.

Not to mention the pendants.

All of them have been replaced with Yae Miko's favorite style.

Now Lei Movie stood beside the fox.

At first glance, it is easy to be misunderstood as a pair of sisters.

"How about it?"

"In this way, no one can recognize Ying's identity?"

Yae Kamiko was very proud, showing off his achievements with a smile.

Lin Feng couldn't help giving her a thumbs up.

To show my admiration.

That's her.

If someone else had messed with Lei Movie's clothes and hair accessories like this, it would have been cut off long ago.

"Master Thor."

"Today, I will definitely not be able to call you that anymore. How about calling you Master Ying?"

Lin Feng looked at Lei Movie and asked her opinion.

After Yae Shenzi whispered a few words, Lei Movie replied: "God Son said that this is a private visit in disguise, and the shouting of adults will make those civilians feel intimidated."

"Just call me."

"calls me."

"."

Lei Movie held back for a long time.

I just couldn't figure out what kind of appellation I should use.

It was Yae Kamito who gave a suggestion; "Just call it Yingde, it sounds kind."

Lin Feng: "."

Miss.

You have to call yourself to call.

I don't have the guts!
Lin Feng resisted the desire to complain.

about to speak.

It was interrupted by Lei Movie: "That's good, it's not obtrusive, and I'm used to it."

Zhong Li also interjected at the right time.

"In terms of general reason."

"Calling you a shadow is indeed in line with the rhetoric of visiting an old friend and making friends."

Both gods have spoken.

Even if Lin Feng wanted to object, he could only bite the bullet and say, "Then, Ying?"

It's a bit awkward.

But Lei Movie didn't say anything, and nodded to indicate that it was okay.

After this.

Several people waited in the shrine for a while.

Until the figures of Gan Yu, Yan Fei and Ke Qing appeared at Narujin Shrine.

Seeing Zhongli and Lin Feng for the first time.

Both Gan Yu and Ke Qing exclaimed in surprise: "Mr. Zhongli?"

Only Yan Fei yelled the word 'Emperor' first, and then changed her voice abruptly: "Mr. Zhongli, why are you here?"

Although the word Dijun was not called out.

But the meaning of respect in the words has not diminished in the slightest.

"???"

Gan Yu and Ke Qing glanced at her at the same time.

"Uh"

Yan Fei faltered and explained: "Mr. Zhongli is a friend of grandma."

This explanation is a little forced.

However, Ke Qing regarded Zhongli as a fairy like Grandma Ping, and confirmed her previous guess from the side.

As for Gan Yu.

She still felt a little puzzled.

She knew all the immortals in Liyue, could it be that Zhongli slept on a mountain for thousands of years?

It's just that now is not the time to think about it.

Because over there, Keqing and Yanfei have already asked in unison: "Lin Feng/Oedipus, what are you doing here?"

Neither of them said anything bad.

It's just that Lin Feng, a member of the Ice God, suddenly ran from Liyue to Dao's wife, is there any organizational conspiracy to do?
Lin Feng is Liyue's immortal disciple, so he will not harm Liyue.

This is an established fact.

But Dao Wife, who has nothing to do with him, is not necessarily the case.

Jian Yanfei and Keqing looked at Yae Shenzi with questioning faces.

Lin Feng shrugged and said, "I am here with Mr. Zhongli to pay a visit to an old friend."

"Old friend?"

Keqing still didn't quite believe it.

Zhongli is Liyue's immortal, his friend is not in Liyue, but in Dao's wife?
"Indeed."

Seeing the three people with puzzled faces, Zhongli rescued Lin Feng and said, "Ying and I have known each other for many years, and recently I was invited by her to come to Dao's wife as a guest."

"Lin Feng and Ying are also old acquaintances, so they walked with me."

He finished.

Lei Movie also nodded to Gan Yu and the others.

Mr. Zhongli's old friend and Lin Feng are also old acquaintances?

If Zhongli is a fairy.

Then this lady named Ying should be at least a thousand years old.

But this Ying and Lin Feng are old acquaintances.

Then the problem is coming.

How old is Lin Feng?

Isn't he only eighteen?
In the eyes of the immortals, He De, a child who is not even considered a child, can become old friends with the immortals.

Is this bastard actually pretending to be tender?
"Okay, okay, you two, stop being suspicious."

"We're here today for business."

Seeing that Gan Yu and Ke Qing still had expressions of disbelief, Yan Fei hurried to smooth things over.

No one else knew Zhongli's identity.

She couldn't be more clear.

People who can be called old friends by Zhongli, except immortals.
Yan Fei didn't dare to think about it.

"Oh, yes, Son of God, didn't you make an appointment to go to an outlying island today to visit and decide to follow?"

After Yan Fei said this, Ke Qing immediately brought the topic back to today's business.

Earlier, because the emperor suddenly said that he would go to Yunlaihai to suppress the abnormal demon god.

So Liyue's affairs suddenly became busy.

Keqing rejected Yae Shenzi's invitation several times one after another.

Until that day when she chatted with Lin Feng again, her opinion of Lin Feng changed somewhat.

In addition, when Yae Kamiko invited himself, he mentioned that Inazuma's ocean trade was half paralyzed because of Lin Feng's mischief.

This gave Keqing the idea of ​​going to Dao's wife to see what Lin Feng was doing.

Today is the time to make an appointment with Yae Shenzi to discuss ocean trade.

"Since they all bumped into each other."

"Why don't we go together."

Yae Shenzi had a foxy smile on his face, quite a feeling that he had succeeded in a trick.

But Keqing and the others didn't notice anything wrong.

He just frowned at the fact that he was going to go with Lin Feng.

But no objection was raised.

that's it

An expedition team that can't be called mighty but all of them are heavyweights set off from Narugami Taisha.

Lin Feng is very conscious of being a tour guide.

Consciously walk in the forefront with Yae Shenzi.

Gan Yu, Yan Fei and Ke Qing walked in the middle, whispering to each other from time to time.

On the other hand, Zhongli and Lei Yingying formed a taciturn duo. These two nominal old friends walked on the road without saying a word.

This made Gan Yu and the others even more curious.

Only Yan Fei probably knew it well, but she didn't dare to speak out her guess.

"Yesterday, I told Ayato Shenli about your bad road."

Lin Feng walked in front, unscrupulously criticizing this and that.

The first one to be hit hard was the broken road in Yingxiang Mountain.

This is the right granted to him by Lei Movie.

In the words of this god, that is, say whatever you have today, and she will not blame her.

"Oh, this is the rule set by Lord Huzhai Palace."

"Because the mortals of that era were much stronger than the mortals of today."

Yae Kamito looked at the believers who gave up halfway up the mountain, and said with a smile: "People in that era valued their belief in Lord Narugami more than their own life."

For this statement.

Lin Feng couldn't deny it: "Because people in this era can eat enough."

"When do mortals need God the most?"

"It's nothing more than being in trouble, not getting enough to eat, not being warm enough to wear, or facing a life-and-death crisis. At that time, God is the whole of their life."

"And what about this era?"

"No matter how bad people's life is, at least they have enough food and clothing, so they don't need the gods as much as they did in ancient times."

"So there are fewer and fewer mortals going to Narugami Taisha, and more and more mortals who give up halfway."

His voice was neither heavy nor soft.

Just enough for Zhongli and Lei Yingying, who were at the end, to hear.

The two gods frowned at the same time.

But Lin Feng told them before they set off, try to listen as much as possible and ask less, and experience the life of mortals.

So they are patient.

Continue to listen to Lin Feng expressing his irreverent remarks there.

"Hehe, that's really an interesting reason."

Yae Shenzi seemed to have heard something funny, covered his mouth and smiled and said: "But what you said makes sense."

"500 years ago, I just took over the post of palace secretary. At that time, people worked so hard just to say [the constant way is magnificent, and the Naruto is eternal] in front of the statue of Ogosho-sama, the main god of Yujian Naruto."

"Now."

"Oops-"

There was another playfulness on Yae Miko's face, and he counted with his fingers: "Those who want to marry, want to bless the gods to pass the exam, and want to have children and blessings, all kinds of messy reasons, there are too many~"

"The majestic Narujin Taisha Shrine, what does it look like?"

"Oh, by the way, a group of magic sticks!"

Finish this.

Yae Kamito glanced back faintly.

However, Lei Movie's performance made her a little disappointed, because Lei Movie didn't show any dissatisfaction at all.

"What is sincerity? What is insincerity?"

"Some mortals have firm beliefs in Lord Thor, and they firmly believe that Thor can solve everything for them."

"However, God is not omnipotent."

"Headache and brain fever, love and marriage, career twists and turns, birth, old age, sickness and death, even if Mr. Lei Shen wants to, he is powerless."

Lin Feng also gave an example: "Two days ago, I heard a story from a witch called Shinobi."

"Oh, she's not a miko now."

"Shinobu comes from a family of shrine maidens, so he was sent to Narujin Shrine at a young age."

"She told me that when she first came to the shrine, she had a cold by chance, so she followed what the old man said, wrapped herself in thorny songweed, and prayed for the blessing of Naruto all night."

"On the second day, her hot forehead was the only response."

Speaking of it.

Ke Qing couldn't help interjecting: "Nonsense! We Liyue people have never done such a ridiculous thing even if we believe in Yan Wang Dijun. Dijun is not a doctor, how can he cure people?"

"Yes."

Lin Feng turned his head and grinned at Ke Qing, and then changed the topic: "But there are people who believe in these, so don't argue with me, you Liyue also has such people, but you haven't seen them."

Seeing that Ke Qing was speechless.

Lin Feng sneered, and then said: "After the witch named Shinobu recovered from her illness, she began to think about whether she had made a mistake in her belief in Naruto."

"Later, she discovered many strange rules that were born because of her belief in Naruto. In fact, they were all useless and meaningless red tape."

"So, in the end she chose to leave the shrine and choose to believe in the gods in her own way."

"So now comes the problem."

"This ninja, does she believe in gods or not? I don't know how Yaegongji evaluates this matter?"

This is a very serious question.

The shrine maiden who was supposed to serve the gods escaped from the shrine.

In the eyes of those fanatical believers.

This is without a doubt blatant blasphemy.

But her belief in the gods was only shaken after being hurt again and again.

It's really hard to evaluate things like this.

Unlike the whispering Liyue trio and the taciturn two gods.

Yae Kamiko, who already knew the answer, was very calm: "I just believe in the gods in my own way, so I have to believe in the gods."

clap clap-

Lin Feng applauded: "Very well said."

talking.

He looked back at Keqing and the others, and said meaningfully: "That Shinobu got the God's Eye the moment he stepped out of the shrine."

"That means."

"God, also approved of her approach."

Keqing and the others all exclaimed: "What!"

Hearing this result, even Ke Qing, who was disrespectful to the gods, couldn't hide the shock in her pupils.

"So after talking about it, the words came back again."

"You want to judge whether mortals are sincere and respectful to God."

"However, this is something that cannot be judged at all."

Standing at the foot of Yingxiang Mountain, Lin Feng said with a smile: "So it's better to make the road level, so that everyone in Daozuo can have a chance to pay respects to the statue of Lord Yu Jianming, Lord Zun Dao Gosho."

"It's not like it is now, where mortals can't see gods, and it's even hard for them to see a clay statue of a god."

"This so-called test is helping these mortals become increasingly alienated from God."

Hearing what Lin Feng said for so long, Lei Movie was moved for the first time.

Even if it's just for a moment.

But Yae Miko still caught the change in her expression, so he smiled and said: "You are very reasonable, tomorrow I will hire craftsmen to repair these roads."

This topic is here.

That's it.

Afterwards, on the way from Yingxiang Mountain to Outlying Islands.

Lin Feng never stopped talking.

This time.

He wasn't complaining about Dao's wife.

Instead, he openly admitted his previous misdeeds in Inazuma, and also apologized to Yae Kamiko for these things.

As for whether he said it to Yae Shenzi, it is not known.

Among the sins he confessed to.

The survey was determined to be the hardest hit area.

This is the place Keqing most wants to hear.

It was also a place that made her feel colder the more she listened.

Because this Hiiragi Shinsuke is too unscrupulous.

for their own self-interest.

Suppress those small businessmen wantonly, and rely on the power in their hands to use violent suppression methods, so that those small businessmen have almost no way out.

In the end, these small businessmen had to flee from Dao's wife.

In the end, most of the trade orders on the outlying islands fell into the hands of foreign enemies and fools.

Even more annoying.

In order to suppress political opponents, Hiiragi Shinsuke also cooperates with Lin Feng, who obviously has bad intentions, to jointly carry out offensive attacks on his colleagues' societies.

The same is true of Tianling.

Just because of some promises, he was played around.

And Lin Feng was playing lip service the whole time, relying on public opinion and various promises, he plundered a lot of benefits from Dao's wife for the fools.

It has also caused the problem that Daozuma's ocean-going trade is still paralyzed today.

This kind of thing not only made Ke Qing ponder.

Gan Yu and Yan Fei also looked solemn.

Even Lei Yingying and Zhongli, who rarely talked along the way, whispered a few words about this matter, but they didn't know whether they were praising Lin Feng or finding their own fault.

Come to the outlying islands again.

Compared with the bustling scene when Lin Feng came last time.

Today's outlying islands seem particularly deserted.

Relying on those merchants who do ocean trade.

There used to be everything sold along the streets on outlying islands.

Especially those hotels that provide various services can be regarded as the economic pillar of outlying islands.

however.

As the ocean trade was hit hard, merchants on outlying islands fled one after another.

Lose these high-spending groups.

In a very short time.

High costs, plummeting income, and the impact on local businesses also quickly slumped.

Now there are only those vendors who are pushing their carts and hawking feebly.

Most of the facades have been cleared and the gates are locked.

"Is this an outlying island?"

Lei Movie, who had been taciturn all this time, finally spoke.

Today's outlying islands.

Not even as good as when it was just rebuilt after the Black Disaster 500 years ago.

"I did."

"sorry."

Lin Feng skillfully combined admitting mistakes and apologizing.

Lei Yingying didn't even know how to answer the words.

"Miss Keqing, the Kan Ding Xing Xing you are looking for is in that direction."

Lin Feng pointed in the direction of Hiiragi's house and said.

Then he walked towards a food stall on the side of the street, and skillfully struck up a conversation with the stall owner.

After chatting for a few words.

He waved to Zhongli and Lei Movie: "Ying, Mr. Zhongli, I bought roasted bird eggs and dry roasted sweetfish, let's eat some together."

Hearing what Lin Feng shouted.

Several people also let go of their emotions and walked over together.

Even Ke Qing was not in a hurry to make an appointment, and came here to listen to the chat between Lin Feng and the stall owner.

The owner of the grilled fish stall is a young man with a pale complexion, and his wife is also helping.

The husband and wife, one grilled fish and the other cooked bird eggs.

Perhaps it was because of the lively chat with Lin Feng.

The stall owner sighed while grilling the fish: "Brother, you have also seen it. Now that the outlying island has become like this, how can there be any good business."

"I don't know what kind of wind is being drawn by Kanding's pursuit. It insists on driving away those businessmen."

"Ugh--"

"Their business has not been delayed much, but our small troubles will be over."

"Look around here, how many of them can afford to open the door."

He started counting with his fingers: "Rent, water, coal, protection, labor, which one is not a cost? Originally, there are many customers, and the money is generous. Everyone can live a good life."

"But suddenly it became like this."

"Ugh--"

"If it weren't for the fact that I don't need a facade and the cost is lower, I would probably hang myself and jump into the river."

Lin Feng listened carefully.

Nodding from time to time.

After the stall owner finished complaining, he asked, "I just heard that you still have to pay protection fees here?"

"pay."

"There's nothing I can't do."

When it came to paying the protection fee, the pale face of the stall owner turned rosy in an instant: "It is decided to follow the gang of wolves who eat meat but don't spit out their bones. Hmph, a good death. The general killed him too well."

"Everyone was just looking for a living, but after finally earning some money, they were exploited by these bastards."

He was eating a fried chicken egg.

After hearing this, he suddenly felt that the delicious food in his hand was no longer fragrant, and he couldn't help but coldly snorted: "Hmph, Hiiragi Shinsuke, damn it!"

"Who said no!"

The stall owner also echoed, and then lamented: "It's a pity, Mr. General killed him too late."

"The outlying islands have become like this, and I don't know when they will return to the bustling days before."

"Ugh--"

The topic became more and more serious.

The stall owner's wife kicked him hard from below and reprimanded him, "Why do you always say this in front of customers?"

Her voice was harsh.

Looked really angry.

But the people here are not human beings.

Everyone can see that she is actually afraid that the owner of this stall will fail if he talks too much.

Who knows if any of the guests who come and go are spies who have been assigned to carry out the investigation.

A few pieces of grilled fish and a few orders of egg yakiniku were quickly eaten up.

Lin Feng paid the money generously, including Keqing and the others and Yae Shenzi's share, he also bought everything as ordered.

Get out of this stall.

Seeing that Keqing was still following her, she didn't go to Kanding to follow her.

Lin Feng glanced at her and said: "Miss Keqing, why don't you go to Kan Ding Xun?"

"Not urgent."

Ke Qing shook her head: "I think, take a look."

I heard this.

Lin Feng didn't irritate her like he did in Liyue, but clicked his tongue and said, "Tsk, that's fine."

Next.

He led everyone to the next goal.

He was also the worst victim on the outlying islands.

International Chamber of Commerce.
