The Lost People of Teyvat

Chapter 270 The drizzle wets people's clothes

Kujo Sara sent the Hiiragi father and daughter to the Tenryo Bugyo prison, glanced at Kujo Kamajiro and Kujo Masahito who were in cells a few blocks away, pursed his lips, and left the prison without saying a word.

"Don't blame her."

Kujo Masahiro watched Kujo Sara leave, then turned to look at Kujo Kamajiro. He wanted to raise his hand to pat his shoulder, but then he noticed the wound on his body, so he stopped and said, "What father did is enough to kill hundreds of times for our Kujo family. If it weren't for Sara, the Kujo family would be finished."

It was not until he returned to Inazuma Castle and learned everything that Kujo Masahiro knew what his father had done: colluding with the Fatui, trying to deceive the Shogun, disregarding the trust of the gods, and using the authority of the gods for personal gain...

One thing after another, once an ordinary person commits one of these sins, the outcome is determined.

But his father committed all of these crimes, which were indisputable and unforgivable.

After knowing all this, Kujo Masahito immediately surrendered his military power and took the initiative to enter the Tenryo Bugyo Prison, awaiting punishment from the gods.

——At the same time, it was also to take care of his younger brother who survived the disaster.

When Kujo Sara wanted to do the same, the chief priest stopped her and said bluntly that the shogun recognized her loyalty and that she had made great contributions in the Inazuma turmoil, so there was no need to do so.

【Only when winter comes do we realize that pine and cypress are the last to wither】

This is the Shogun's comment on Kujo Sara. Such favor and trust are enough to make any Inazuma envious.

Next, Lord Yae Miyagi conveyed the Shogun’s reward.

The current generation of Kujo clansmen have disgraced the glory of the Kujo family. If Sara is willing, she can abandon Kujo and have the Shogun give her a new surname, thus forming another new and glorious family.

Kujo Sara refused the gift from the gods and said that he would use his own efforts to cleanse the stain on the name of Kujo.

"I understand, ahem."

Kujo Kamji coughed twice and forced a smile: "If Saara had not insisted on the name of [Kujo], then what awaited the Kujo family would have been complete destruction and eternal shame."

A family that betrayed God... Bearing such a crime, even if the Kujo family still has bloodline left, what awaits them is thousands of years of curses and contempt.

The two brothers fell silent.

After a while,

Kujo Masahiro sighed, "Who would have thought that my father would do such a thing... Never mind, let's not talk about him."

He turned his eyes and glanced at Kujo Kamajima, grinning: "Are you okay? Hey, you are lucky, you are tough."

"It's not that I'm unlucky, it's that the general didn't intend to kill me."

Kujo Kamajima shook his head and said, "Although I don't know what my father did, I was beside him and noticed many things that were wrong... I knew but didn't report it, and I was indifferent. This is my fault."

He was not the only one who survived the thunder. There were also a few people who were unharmed. It was obvious that the gods did not punish people casually, but fairly gave everyone the punishment they deserved.

"It's good that you didn't die. If you didn't die from the thunder punishment, it means that the general thinks your crime is not worthy of death. There is still hope for our Kujo family."

Kujo Masahiro paused and sighed in his heart.

However, it is impossible for the two brothers to take the position of the head of the Kujo family - the future head of the Kujo family can only be Kujo Sara.

Now, in the eyes of God, Kujo Sara who lost the Kujo family is still His loyal pine and cypress, but the Kujo family who lost Kujo Sara is just a meaningless family of sinners.

At least he is still alive. Even if his brothers cannot become the head of the family, at least their descendants still have the qualifications and opportunities to inherit the position of head of the family... Kujo Masahiro collected his thoughts and looked at Kujo Kamajiro: "Rest, Kamajiro. We still have a lot of things to do. We can't really let Sara alone wash away the stain of [Kujo]."

……

Kujo Sara walked out of the prison, took a deep breath, turned and walked towards the castle tower, his dark golden eyes full of determination.

The castle tower once collapsed and became a ruin under the power of the gods, but when the gods returned, the castle tower was restored by the miracle of the gods.

——Although it was Lady Yae-miyaji who did it, she is a follower of God, so the miracles she created are naturally miracles of God.

Kujo Sara entered the castle tower and saw the god sitting at the head and the god's followers standing beside him. She knelt on one knee and saluted: "Shogun, all the traitors of the Hiiragi family have been arrested and taken to prison, waiting for your punishment."

"well done."

Yae Shinko's eyes were full of approval, and he immediately noticed the hesitation that flashed across Kujo Sara's eyes. He raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "What's wrong? Did our [General Songbai] encounter any difficulties?"

Kujo Sara's face showed a rare moment of embarrassment, but then it was filled with pride and emotion.

Only when winter comes do we realize that pine and cypress are the last to wither.

General Pine and Cypress.

This is the recognition from her God!
Yae Shinko saw the pride of Kujo Sara, and her evil taste in her heart instantly halved. What she wanted to see was not this expression, but the embarrassment and shyness of this Tengu lady.

"Get up, Saura. And tell me what you are hesitating about."

"Yes, Lord Palace Secretary."

Kujo Sara stood up, thought for a few seconds, and said, "Chisato Hiiragi of the Hiiragi family, I think she is unaware of what her father Shinsuke Hiiragi has done, and is an innocent person."

"Hiiragi Chisato... Oh, I remember now."

Yae Shenzi thought about it and nodded, "She is an innocent little girl. She may indeed be innocent."

Kujo Sara said nothing, waiting for Lord Yae's "but".

"However, it is impossible to say that Hiiragi Chisato did not benefit from the benefits that Hiiragi Shinsuke gained by abusing his power. She is indeed innocent, but it is impossible for her to deny her connection with the matter."

Yae Shinko shook his head and said, "Besides, even if we let such a naive person go, she won't be able to become the head of the family and take over the position of the executive officer like you, Sha Luo. She is not suitable and does not have the talent for it."

After she finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Ying: "General, what do you think?"

Ying thought for a few seconds and said calmly: "Deprive Hiiragi of her position as a magistrate, confiscate her property, and let her become an ordinary Inagi peasant."

"Yes, Sara understands."

Kujo Sara breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't matter if the family property was gone, as long as he was still alive.

"Sa Luo, I'll have to trouble you to run again next time."

Yae Shinko pointed his finger, and a list on the table flew to Kujo Sara, hovering in front of her: "The people on the list are all traitors. Arrest them all and send them to jail to await their fate."

"Yes, Sara obeys your command!"

Kujo Sara took the list with a serious expression. Even if the arrests made according to this list would leave half of Inazuma's official and business careers empty, as long as it was the will of God, she would carry it out without hesitation.

She bowed to the god and was about to take her leave when the god suddenly spoke.

"Sara."

"I'm here, General!"

"What do you think of the Eye Hunting Order?"

"The general's order is absolutely correct. It is the reckless behavior of certain executors that has caused the Eye Hunting Order to become like this." Kujo Sara said firmly.

"..."

Ying seemed to smile, looking at Miss Tengu below: "Sara, go and announce to everyone that from today on, the Eye Hunting Order is abolished."

"...General?" Kujo Sara looked stunned, then a little surprised.

Also, she seemed to have seen the general’s smile just now!

"Go."

Ying finally smiled and nodded, "Also, don't forget to do a good job of screening and return the God's Eyes that have been confiscated from innocent people."

"Yes, General!"

Kujo Sara immediately responded loudly, saluted the god, turned around and left with a vigorous step.

"What a reliable and lovely child."

Yae Shinko smiled and covered her lips, watching Kujo Sara leave, and said with emotion: "Fortunately Sara is still here... But how did you come up with that evaluation of Songbai?"

She changed the subject and looked towards Ying, full of curiosity.

"Tianfeng mentioned it accidentally, and I think it's very suitable for Sara."

Ying explained, then changed the subject: "After the last batch of people are arrested, the vacancy in Inazuma's management should also be dealt with."

"Yeah, someone has to do the work."

Yae Shinko followed her meaning and did not ask any further questions. He thought, "But fortunately, the pillars of Tianling Bugyo and She Bugyo are still intact. The only problem is Kanding Bugyo."

If Tenryo Bugyo Kujo Takayuki committed a crime out of madness and distortion, then Kanjo Bugyo Hiiragi Shinsuke was soberly abusing his power for personal gain. And under the influence of Hiiragi Shinsuke, the Kanjo Bugyo officials, big and small, at least half of them committed crimes, if not all of them were corrupt.

The rotten-to-the-marrow Kanjo Bugyo was in a state of disarray during this purge and was in urgent need of a large number of talented personnel to fill the position, but Inazuma did not have that many talented personnel.

Yae Shinko sighed and said, "So the way to retake Kaigi Island cannot be too harsh. After all, there are too few capable and untainted people in Inazuma."

“But that’s not all.”

Ying raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes thoughtful: "You have other purposes, right?"

She was clearly asking, but her tone was extremely firm.

Yae Shinko seemed a little surprised and said with a smile: "Ying, you have become smarter."

"I just know you very well."

Ying responded calmly, then frowned, feeling that something seemed to be wrong.

Did she deny that she had become "smarter"? And... was Shenzi secretly saying that she was not smart?

Ying reacted and glared at Yae Shinko.

"Oh, that's really touching."

Yae Shenzi blinked, pretending not to see Ying's look, thought for a moment, and said, "I do have other purposes...purposes related to Chen Tianfeng."

"You want to plot against him?" Ying frowned, "Son of God, this is not a good idea!"

If Tianfeng found out, the relationship between Inazuma and the god would probably drop to the freezing point in an instant. With Tianfeng's temper, Inazuma would never have a peaceful life!

"It's not a plot. I don't dare to plot against him."

Yae Shenzi quickly denied it, then hesitated and said uncertainly: "It shouldn't be a plot...right?"

"We didn't have enough time to discuss in detail. Now, tell me your plan and purpose, Son of God." Ying pursed his lips: "If there is anything inappropriate, there is still time to change it."

"Ah."

The Eightfold Son of God nodded, carefully choosing his words, and explaining his plans and goals in as much detail as possible.

"Just like we agreed at Narukami Taisha, I will make the Umijima undercover agents hiding in Inazuma Castle suffer a little, and then let the traveler appear at the right time to provide help in the name of Kamisato Ayaka, and then we will get the news that Orobas has a chance to revive."

"This part of the Haiji Island secret line belongs to Xinhai of the Coral Palace. He is very loyal and knows the relationship between Xinhai and Linghua. As long as Linghua cooperates, no one will notice anything unusual."

"Once these secret agents receive the news, they will definitely find a way to return to Haigi Island, but Haigi Island is blocked by thunderstorms and ordinary people cannot enter or leave. The traveler who quelled the dragon disaster and the demon tide in Mondstadt is naturally not an ordinary person, and has the ability to enter and exit thunderstorms. She will be the only hope for the secret agents."

"After that, the Inazuma high-ranking officials, who noticed the news had been leaked, sent the shogunate army to hunt down the secret agents while they were escaping. After a difficult escape, only one or two people arrived at Umi Island with the travelers and brought back the news and methods of the revival of the gods."

"At that time, the panicked people of the Coral Palace will cling to their only chance of survival and send out an elite team to go with the travelers to the place where the Demon God fell on Bayun Island to try to wake him up."

"And what we have to do is to make it more difficult for them, so that they will go through untold hardships, use blood and sacrifice to take back the god's coffin, and finally return to Haigi Island to awaken the god with the power of faith."

Yae Shinko smiled when he said this: "Mortals always doubt the authenticity of things that are too easy to obtain, but they will never think that the results of their hard work are false."

"When everything is completed, Chen Tianfeng will naturally possess the identity of the Great God of Haiqi and become the god of Haiqi Island - this is what I want."

The Eightfold Son of God took a deep breath, looked into Ying's eyes, and said, "You said that Chen Tianfeng cares about his people, but his people are nowhere to be found. So, I want the people of Coral Palace to become his people, even if it's only for a short period of time, which will be enough to make Chen Tianfeng care about them a little bit."

"After that, I will gradually separate and relocate the people of Coral Palace, allowing them to completely integrate into Inazuma. In this way, the weight of Inazuma's people in Chen Tianfeng's heart may increase a little. But even a little bit is enough for this god who cherishes his people to take care of Inazuma while staying away from Inazuma."

Yae Shenzi said: "This is my purpose."

After she finished speaking, she felt a little lacking in confidence and said guiltily: "This shouldn't count... uh, Chen Tianfeng won't be angry with this level of calculation, right?"

"I don't know, but... probably not?"

Shadow isn't quite sure either.

The gods and their followers looked at each other, and for a moment they were a little undecided.

Ying thought for a moment and said hesitantly: "How about, after Ying and Tianfeng separate, we ask..."

"Ask Chen Tianfeng himself? Isn't this inappropriate?" The Eightfold God's Son was stunned.

"I mean ask Ying."

Ying glanced at her and said, "She has the closest relationship with Tianfeng and knows him best. She should be able to give the answer."

"It seems possible..." Yae Shenzi nodded, and then felt something was wrong: "But, won't the traveler tell Chen Tianfeng about this?"

They have such a close relationship, how could the traveler help them hide it from Chen Tianfeng?
film:"……"

So after another silence, they both sighed in unison.

Why would such an unreasonable existence like Chen Tianfeng suddenly appear in Teyvat?

Ying raised his hand and rubbed his temple, saying, "Let's take it one step at a time. I'll tell you once I tell you. If Tianfeng agrees, that's great. If not, we'll suppress them by force and retake Haiqi Island."

As for whether the plan would be ineffective after knowing this... I can only say that the development and results of some things cannot be changed by personal will.

The most dewy rain wets people's clothes.

"Speaking of which, where are they now?"

"Bayun Island, the head of the snake god."
