The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 226 Three Practices

Hiiragi Shinsuke's eyes changed, and he looked at Kujo Takayuki deeply. Before his eyes swept over, he smiled and agreed, "What the head of the Kujo family said is right. With the general here, all the villains are just clowns."

Kujo Takayuki smiled with satisfaction and poured tea for Hiiragi Shinsuke: "I will have to trouble Master Hiiragi with the next matter. Send more people to keep an eye on the return route."

"Don't worry, Master Jiujo."

After the two men finished discussing their business and chatted about some casual things, Hiiragi Shinsuke stood up, said goodbye, and left Tenryo Bugyo.

"Give orders to have the Hiiragi family gradually distance themselves from the Kujo family."

"Yes, master."

"Also, keep the tax status quo for now, and don't really drive those businessmen to death. The situation has changed a bit, so let's wait and see for now."

"Yes, master."

"Go, as soon as possible."

Hiiragi Shinsuke waved his hand and looked back at the Tenryo Bugyo with a serious expression. The old man Kujo Takayuki had gone completely crazy and even really thought that everything he did was allowed by the Shogun.

Oh, if their deception of the gods were to be exposed...it would be hard to say who Wuxiang would kill with his sword.

Hiiragi Shinsuke flicked his sleeves and was about to return to the island, but suddenly stopped and his expression changed for a few seconds.

Ever since the Fatui left Inazuma, Kujo Takayuki's behavior has become more and more rampant and outrageous, and more and more brainless... If this continues, the Hiiragi family might be implicated by this crazy old man... Hiiragi Shinsuke took a deep breath, turned and walked towards the direction of the shrine magistrate Kamisato's family.

It is better to be cautious and bet on both sides. In this way, no matter who wins or loses, in the worst case scenario, the Hiiragi family can still protect the family and wait for a comeback.

……

Kamisato Prefecture,
It's a rare occasion for the Kamisato siblings to get together, and the household manager Thomas is reporting on the recent situation among the Inazuma people.

"…That's it, Miss, Master of the House."

"Thank you for your hard work, Thomas."

Kamisato Ayaka nodded slightly, her long, smooth snow-white hair combed into a high ponytail, her gray-blue eyes under her thick and neat bangs were filled with worry: "Brother, the situation is getting worse."

"The Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo have joined forces, and the Sha Bugyo alone cannot convey the true situation of the people to the castle tower. It is not surprising that this situation has occurred."

There always seems to be a smile on Kamisato Ayato's lips and eyes. In the words of a certain fox lady, this boy, who is obviously not from the fox clan, but is more like a fox than some foxes, always uses a smile to cover up his inner thoughts, making it impossible for people to see through him.

"Especially the withdrawal of the Fatui. The Fatui are the instigators and behind-the-scenes promoters of the current situation in Inazuma, but they are also an external force that checks and balances the Tenryo Bugyo and Kande Bugyo. With them around, the two Bugyo will not be too eager for quick success."

Kamisato Ayato tapped his arm with his fingers: "After all, they don't want the fools to have a bite of the cake that they think belongs to them."

"What are we going to do?"

"Do your best to appease the people and carry out the Shogun's orders. At the same time, do your best within the rules to stop the mistakes of the Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo. The Sha Bugyo is in charge of people's livelihood. No matter what, we can't make life too difficult for the people of Inazuma."

"I understand." Kamisato Ayaka nodded, then thought of something and said, "Then the rebels..."

"Neither support nor hostility." Kamisato Ayato said: "Umigi Island's rebellion against the shogunate is a disrespect to the shogun. It is not reasonable for us to have anything to do with them... Not being hostile is already the biggest concession."

Kamisato Ayaka looked a little hesitant: "But, brother, Kaigi Island did nothing wrong, they just..."

"No, they are wrong." Kamisato Ayato interrupted her: "Whatever the reason, in Inazuma, believing in another god instead of the Ogosho-sama is the original sin of Umijima, not to mention that they do not obey the rule of the shogunate."

“Even if they didn’t actually make a mistake?”

"Even if they didn't really make a mistake." "That's too overbearing and too cruel, brother."

"Ayaka."

Kamisato Ayato stopped his finger and looked at his sister, who was called "White Egret Princess" by the people of Inazuma. He said in a deep voice: "The Kamisato family is different from other families. The fact that we can exist until now and run the shrine is entirely due to the grace of the Grand Lord. Therefore, in Inazuma, the Kamisato family is the only one who must not betray the Grand Lord."

If the current chaos in Inazuma is not caused by the Kujo family and the Hiiragi family, but is the will of Lord Ogosho, then the Kamizato family will unconditionally carry out Lord Ogosho's will...even if Inazuma suffers as a result.

The shrine's Kamisato family is considerate of public opinion, pays attention to people's livelihood, and does its best to protect the peaceful lives of the Inazuma people... The premise of all this is that this is the will of the Ogosho.

Lord Ogosho wants peace and stability in Inazuma and the people to live and work in peace, and the Kamizato family is what it is today; if Lord Ogosho changes his temperament drastically and wants to raise the butcher knife against the Inazuma family and the people, then the Kamizato family will inevitably become the sharpest butcher knife.

"...I understand, brother."

Kamisato Ayaka lowered her head and sighed softly. Her brother was right. The Kamisato family existed to serve the Lord of the Ogosho. They could not become allies with Umijima, who was in Inazuma but believed in other gods.

As she was thinking, she suddenly felt a big hand on her head.

"Brother?"

Kamisato Ayaka raised her head.

Kamisato Ayato ruffled her hair and withdrew his hand with a smile: "Don't worry, the chaos of Inazuma will be over soon."

"Really?"

Kamisato Ayaka was stunned for a moment, and then something occurred to her, her eyes slightly lit up: "Is it Lord Yae-miyaji?"

"good."

Kamisato Ayato nodded and said, "Lord Palace Master is a follower of the Thunder God. Compared to us mortals, he knows better how to resolve the current situation."

"What is the Lord Palace Administrator going to do?" Kamisato Ayaka asked curiously.

"I don't know. She only told me to secretly spread the news that she left Inazuma." Kamisato Ayato shook his head with a smile in his eyes: "But what is certain is that someone is going to be in trouble."

At this moment, a servant stepped forward and saluted: "Master, Miss, the Kanjo Bugyo Hiiragi-sama is here to visit."

Kamisato Ayaka wondered, "Mr. Hiiragi Shinsuke, what is he doing here?"

"I think it was Kujo Takayuki's actions that made this old fox unable to sit still and wanted to hedge his bets."

The corners of Kamisato Ayato's lips curved even more, and he blinked at Kamisato Ayaka, elegantly and calmly: "I'll handle it."

"Yes, brother."

……

"The thunderstorm covering Inazuma is ahead. How is it? Isn't it spectacular?"

Yae Shinto pointed to an area in the distance where lightning flashed and it looked like a world-destroying scene, and looked back with a smile at the "secret weapon" she brought back from Liyue.

"It's spectacular, but the behavior is a little outrageous."

Chen Tianfeng stroked his chin and said with emotion: "I have lived for so long, but this is the first time I have seen someone use this kind of offensive barrier that does not distinguish between friend and foe to protect his own people."
