In Yuanshen, no one understands holy relics better than me

"If the atmosphere in the two areas is harmonious, and the people of Haizhi Island can accept the control of the shogunate, it may be possible to return Haizhi Island to the shogunate's jurisdiction in a more moderate way in the future."

Xia Tian paused for a moment, and gave another possibility: "If we don't get along well, I believe the shogunate will know how to advance or retreat... Xinhai will definitely be able to make the most accurate judgment."

The atmosphere is something that can be easily manipulated. With Xinhai's strategy, it may be unknown to make the two parties get along happily, but if you want to get along unhappy, you can do it with just a few incidents.

It should be something to be proud of being so trusted by Xia Tian, ​​but Xin Hai sounds very strange, as if he is saying that he has a lot of scheming...

Finally, the two sorted out the content of the peace talks.

The northwest corner of Haizhi Island and the northern area of ​​Yayu Island are exchanged for rent. Both areas are operated by the people of Haizhi Island, but they are under the jurisdiction of the shogunate. They abide by the laws of the shogunate and pay taxes according to the shogunate tax rate.

The shogunate will open a new foreign trade port in the northwest concession of Haizhi Island, mainly trading Haizhi Island's special products, and it will be managed by Shefengxing.

"From an economic point of view, Haizhi Island has huge benefits, and the shogunate is not without gains. As long as the two parties can cooperate normally, it must be a win-win situation."

Xia Tian gave his judgment, and he saw Xinhai blinking his eyes and looking at it stupidly. No matter how many times he looked at it, this Haizhi Island's current goddess and witch was more like an innocent and lovely girl, and she really had pink hair. Is it all black?

The sea of ​​​​hearts is not dark anymore, but I think more?

Because of Xia Tian's help, the pressure that Xinhai alone endured has eased a lot, and the frown finally eased: "Why don't I give you the title of military adviser! I have spent so long trying to perfect things, you are so A solution will be given soon.”

Xia Tian didn't dare to take credit: "Because you gave so many perfect ideas, I can improve on your basis! It's not that I'm good, but... maybe because I can stand on the sidelines Think about it, so that you can come up with conditions that both parties can accept as much as possible! Moreover, I am just talking about it, and the specific implementation depends on the cooperation between Shefuxing, Tianlingfuxing and you."

The conditions offered by Xia Tian can be said to be very generous for Hai Zhidao. Of course, Xin Hai will not refuse. The only thing to consider now is: "Then do you think such conditions can be successfully negotiated? Although it looks good, in fact the shogunate There is not much profit, even if there is no port on Haizhi Island, you can continue to use outlying islands..."

Yes, it looks like a win-win situation, but in fact, the shogunate has to give up some of the benefits that could have been given to the outlying islands. It seems to be a loss?

But Xia Tian has a different view.

"With the current strength, the stable shogunate can crush Haizhi Island without support by multiples, but they still chose to negotiate with you. Naturally, there are reasons for reason and the wishes of the people, but it is more to show that what they need is not Material rewards, but political demands."

"Haizhidao is willing to cooperate with the shogunate's related work and make concessions on governance rights, which is what they expect in return."

"Also, speaking of blind self-confidence, I think you, Ayaka Kamisato, and Sara Kujo, you are all girls who are sincerely good for Inazuma, and you will definitely be able to understand each other and give the content of the agreement that satisfies everyone."

"..."

Xinhai has no other questions or opinions, she closes the open map and accepts the conditions given by Xia Tian.

He raised his chin, smiled, and asked curiously: "Xiamen, what are you doing so much for?"

Ok……

Without thinking too long, Xia Tian replied jokingly: "I just hope for world peace."

"Ha ha."

Xinhai smiled, but then quickly frowned, his face was full of worry.

Xia Tian thought that there were some unstable factors in the peace talks, but she asked timidly: "I... am I a very scheming girl?"

I have the answer in my heart, no matter what you think, right?Where do ordinary girls go to calculate so much.

Xia Tian didn't hide it, expressing his understanding: "It's a bit... After all, it's the leader of an island, so even a fool can't manage it well!"

"Hmm." Xinhai leaned back covering his head, and sure enough...

Seeing her swaying, as lost as an eggplant beaten by frost, Xia Tian was concerned: "What's wrong?"

"The energy is running out."

Xinhai said something strange.

As the current Goddess, Xinhai has to face complicated affairs, some of which she is happy to do, and some of which make her unhappy.

Those things that she doesn't like will seriously consume Xinhai's energy and make her fall into exhaustion.

Therefore, Xinhai set an indicator of "energy" for herself. When she is happy, her "energy" will rise, and when she is sad, her "energy" will drop... Once her energy drops, she will either become a lazy girl at home, or You have to look around for happy things to relieve stress.

The wonderful encounter with Xia Tian was because she went for a night swim in the sea to relieve stress... That time, she gained enough energy to last for several days.

"what?"

"nothing!"

Xia Tian didn't hear clearly, Xinhai waved his hands again and again, not wanting to expose his childish little secret.

She lowered her head and pinched the ribbon on her dress: "...that would really be annoying, wouldn't it?"

"What do you hate?"

"Because I actually used everyone's anger towards the Eye Hunting Order to seek the interests of Haizhi Island... If those fighters who worked hard on the battlefield knew about it, they must feel insulted and played with? I didn't expect Haizhi Island The current God Priestess is such a hypocrite! The people of Kaiji Island will also be disappointed by having such a despicable and shameless leader?"

"..."

Xia Tian thought for a while, how should I answer to better express my meaning?Can Xinhai understand that she just did what a leader should do?

"Do people in Haizhi Island like the sea?"

Xia Tian jumped up the topic, asking Xin Hai a little confused, but he also answered: "There is no one on Hai Zhi Island who doesn't like the sea."

"Is the sea pure?"

"Of course..." Xinhai thought for a while, and added another explanation: "Although the sea has many impurities, I still think it is pure."

Xia Tian nodded for this: "The sea is not only full of impurities, but also has turbulent currents, whirlpools, and monsters that eat people... But even so, the people of Haizhi Island will love her deeply, because the sea has given the sea only Everything on the island, she bears all the filth of the island without complaint and regrets, and repays everything she can give countless times..."

Xia Tian's evaluation of the ocean makes the sea of ​​hearts rippling with joy. For the people of Haizhi Island, praising the ocean is tantamount to praising their beliefs.

But there is also something strange, obviously asking whether he is despicable, whether he will be hated by the islanders, why did he bring the topic to the sea?

What does the sea have to do with me?

Her doubts were answered in Xia Tian's last sentence.

"You are the ocean in the hearts of the people of Haizhi Island. No matter whether you are turbid, pure, or have a vortex hidden in the depths, they will accept everything about you...me too."

"Well."

Xinhai bit her lower lip, and Hongxia climbed onto her fair skin. She could hear her own rapid heartbeat and the rising sound in her mind.

"Energy" is rising rapidly.

It's going to be overloaded.

Bang!

The sea of ​​hearts seemed to be evaporated, the whole body was red like overcooked dried squid, and the white steam that came out swept across the small room.

She has heard many compliments.

But it was the first time...to be touched like this.

Chapter 742 Ying is also a steam princess

The red sea of ​​hearts is too cute, but she couldn't make Xia Tian look at it for a while, so she covered her little cheeks with the back of her hand.

No matter how hot the body is, the back of the hand coated with water is still cool, which can not only cool down, but also hide shame.

Xia Tian was also surprised. I thought that a leader like Xin Hai, who often gave speeches in front of everyone, should have a thicker skin... A few compliments can't bear it, so how do you usually deal with those flattering guys?

You must know that Goro is a big fan of this military advisor, and what he says most every day is "As expected of Mr. Coral Palace, he really knows everything well!" "With Mr. Coral Palace's ingenious plan, everything is not a problem!"...

Perhaps because he boasted too much, he was immune?

Xinhai's "Steam Girl" state didn't last long. After about half of the room was covered with fog, the roar of the "engine" in his heart stopped, but he never dared to get closer. I don't know when he ran to the office. across the table.

It was originally a distance that could be hugged by reaching out, but now it has become a two-meter-long table, which makes Xia Tian embarrassed. Maybe it should be praised more gently?

He asked embarrassingly: "Xinhai, are you... all right?"

"It's okay." Xinhai squatted on the chair, supported the table with both hands, maintaining a very calm appearance, but clenched his fists with both hands, making his facial expression tense, and forced out a somewhat unnatural smile.

Remembering that I haven't given an answer to Xia Tian's proposal, I hurriedly changed the topic with this: "You are really a formidable negotiator, I was convinced by you! I hope the peace talks can go smoothly."

"It's not that I persuaded you, but you, Xinhai, are also inclined to peace talks?" Xia Tian can be sure of this, Xinhai has never shown any fighting intentions, but for the future of Haizhi Island, she has to put aside her own Ideas, to choose the most suitable path objectively.

Xinhai did not deny it, but talked about the past about Haizhidao and General Lei Dian.

"In the southwest of Kaiji Island, there is an abandoned shrine. It is not Mr. Orobas enshrined, but the Raiden General of the shogunate... Isn't it strange? There is a shrine of the Narugami Island Great Imperial Palace on Kaiji Island."

"A long time ago, Kaiji Island did not respect the general as much as the shogunate, but it also recognized her existence, but after the sword fell, after the demon god guarding our Kaiji Island was cut off, the original shrine was abandoned. "

"Since then, the relationship between Haizhidao and the shogunate has become somewhat subtle, and the prejudice between each other has become deeper and deeper..."

After talking about the past, Xinhai sighed helplessly: "If possible, I also want to use this peace talk to discuss this issue with Tianling Fengxing. There are some grievances that will be let go one day... The grievances have lasted for a long time. Thousands of years, it will not be solved overnight, but if we do nothing, maybe we will continue to hate for another thousand years."

Xinhai raised his head, and there was a gleam of brilliance in his empty eyes, which was the colorful sunlight shining into the deep sea: "Thank you for your suggestion, which allows me to seek benefits for the people of Haizhi Island on the basis of peace talks."

The terms of the peace talks have been negotiated so far, and Xia Tian believes that he should be able to persuade Jiutiao Shaluo to accept those terms. It is not just Coral Palace Xinhai who wants to resolve the grievances between the two parties.

Next, I learned from the screen that there are still many voices opposing the peace talks among the military camps and the common people... The rebel army is different from the shogunate army in that it does not have such a strict management system, and each team has completely independent self-control Quan, if these people are not dealt with, there may be some kind of moth.

"I heard from Ying that there are many different opinions in the military camp. Will it affect the peace talks?"

"Well... this is what I'm worried about recently. It's not easy for everyone to let go of the pain and anger caused by the war and accept the peace talks in a short time."

Speaking of the recent rumors, Xinhai's brows that were stretched were frowned again, and she opened a green document on the table: "Especially the recent rumors that Tianling pursues collusion with fools and intends to continue waging war. The peace talks this time are just a cover for delaying time, the purpose is to let the rebels relax..."

Xia Tian flatly denied it: "Probably not, not to mention anything else, continuing to provoke war will not be of any benefit to the shogunate... You have also analyzed before, as long as Haizhi Island does not cause trouble, even if the peace talks break down, the shogunate will not There are too aggressive moves."

Xinhai nodded: "As a representative, I certainly believe in the sincerity of the shogunate's peace talks...but not everyone can analyze it calmly, especially the soldiers in the barracks. They have experienced the baptism of blood on the battlefield and endured far The sadness and anger of super-ordinary people, to convince them that the enemies who were fighting life and death a few days ago, can get along with each other in harmony now, maybe it is a bit too difficult?"

Understanding is understanding, but there are only two days left before the peace talks, and the rumors permeating the barracks must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Xia Tian is worried about this: "...Someone deliberately spread such rumors in the military camp. If they are not dealt with, it will only make things worse."

"I also believe that no matter what the outcome of the peace talks is, allowing such rumors to spread will definitely increase the possibility of conflicts in the future... But the recent period has been too busy, and with my identity, it is difficult to go deep into the military camp To communicate and understand..."

Xinhai pointed to the place where the banquet will be held tomorrow on the map: "That's why I want to take advantage of such a celebration banquet. Maybe after the fun and drinking, it can let those rumors spread and show their feet."

"As expected of a military adviser, everything has been arranged properly! We will have to wait until tomorrow!"

This kind of compliment is very common, no different from Goro's usual flattery, of course it won't make Xinhai blush and heartbeat, but because it is Xia Tian's compliment, it still satisfies her vanity a little, but It's a pity that the "energy" in my heart has been stored to full, and there is no way to continue to increase it.

This is the first time I have discovered how to restore "energy" so quickly. If Xia Tian is always by my side, whenever my "energy" is low, let him praise myself, even if I will never feel tired, right?

Stay by my side forever... what am I thinking about!

Xinhai shook his head, shaking away those inexplicable assumptions, and said apologetically: "It's a very difficult celebration, I just want you and Ying to feel the enthusiasm of Haizhi Island, but I didn't expect to trouble you again."

"Who told me to be a messenger of peace!"

Xia Tian spread his hands, with a helpless and proud look on his face, and made Xinhai laugh: "Hehe, thank you, Dao Wife's hero!"

"Inazuma's hero...?"

"Those who change Thunder's will, no matter where they are, can be called heroes!"

Also because of this, Xinhai believes that those in the military camp may be more willing to confide in Xia Tian.

For the title of hero, Xia Tian accepted it as a matter of course, anyway, it was not the first time.

Mond's hero, Liyue's hero, and now Inazuma's hero.

The sky will send a big job to the people... I am used to it.

………………

The night on Haizhi Island was as quiet as ever, as if isolated from the world.

………………

Because there were no gorgeous fireworks and insufficient lighting facilities, the time of the event was set at noon... This is the first time to participate in a daytime banquet in summer, which is really unique.

Haizhi Island is surrounded by the sea and takes the sea as its home, so the celebration banquet is also held on the nearby beach.

Looking around, it is empty and simple, and I really feel the backwardness of Haizhi Island. Maybe this is the price of being complacent?

He has heard from the locals of Haizhi Island that during the reign of the previous gods and maidens, Haizhi Island's external transactions were only the most basic living materials. It was only after Xinhai took office that he began to really come into contact with foreign things. .

Although there are no fancy lights, there is enough wine and meat. For Haizhi Island, which is short of supplies during this period, it is a good opportunity to have a good meal. Stuffed several meat balls, and kindly fed Ying Ye a mouthful.

Perhaps it was too many days without enjoying delicious food other than fish, Ying couldn't resist the smell of meat after all, she and Paimeng covered their mouths, looked at each other and smiled, chattering happily.

Suddenly raised his head and saw Xia Tian appearing together with Xin Hai, their eyes met.

With such a stupid appearance of stealing food, how can I have the nerve to meet people?I got stuck when I was excited, and my face was flushed from the suffocation. Thanks to Paimeng who brought a large glass of water in time, it was relieved after a few sips.

Xia Tian almost laughed out loud, but as an important guest following Xin Hai, he still had to maintain his demeanor.

Before the banquet started, Xinhai, as the leader, of course had to say something as usual.

"Everyone has worked hard, today is our celebration..."

"In the past period of time, our war with the shogunate army has come to an end, and we have also witnessed the abolition of the eye hunting order..."
