In Yuanshen, no one understands holy relics better than me

Xia Tian said it smoothly, and added: "Master General is even more beautiful. If I were such a frivolous man, I would have to serve the shogunate for the rest of my life."

It was originally a joke, but Jiutiao Shaluo immediately got angry: "How dare you insult the general!"

"Huh?" Xia Tian was at a loss: "Where did I insult? Didn't I mean that the general is beautiful?"

Is it an insult to praise the General for being beautiful like saying Jiutiao Shaluo is a woman?So what to say?Are you very manly?

Jiujo Shaluo raised her face at 45 degrees, and looked towards the direction of the castle tower towards the window: "General Raiden is not only beautiful, she is the most... Forget it! Don't criticize Lord General behind your back!"

Got... Is it my fault that I didn't exaggerate enough?

"Okay, let's not talk about Lord General." Xia Tian returned to the topic and gave the benefits that the shogunate can get.

"What the shogunate wants most is Haizhi Island's military power, but Haizhi Island is definitely not willing, even if it reluctantly agrees, given the current conflict between the two islands, another civil war may break out..."

"That's why these two leased lands were set up in advance to let the people of the two islands get used to it...and from the obvious point of view, the shogunate is the manager, and Haizhi Island is at best just a worker."

"With this face, you can confess to the shogunate calmly, which can be regarded as the first step in the integration of the two islands. It is nothing more than a loss of money... You don't give any benefits, but you want others to recognize the shogunate. How about fooling a fool?"

Perhaps it was because he knew that Jiutiao Shaluo would not use power to suppress others, so Xia Tian got along quite casually. He was suspected of receiving benefits just now, and he also knew that it was because he hadn't returned for too long to vent his anger.

Kujo Sara's main displeasure was that the shogunate's strength completely overwhelmed Haiji Island, and the peace talks had to be signed due to the pressure of all parties.

No matter how strong the shogunate is, the reality is that Xia Tian changed the will of General Thunder and made the Eye Hunting Order abolished, so the shogunate lost, and because there are all kinds of shady things infiltrated by fools, they really don't have much confidence Talk about conditions.

In the end, after listening to Xia Tian's analysis, Kujo Sharo was willing to make concessions to the peace talks, and only slightly changed some details. Regarding the construction of the port and the distribution of supplies, Haizhidao still needs to conduct a second negotiation with the company.

In this regard, Xia Tian will try his best to let Shenli Linghua be responsible.

I believe that together with Xinhai, the two smart women will be able to negotiate a result that satisfies everyone!

Chapter 745 The Method of Recovering Energy

In a flash the next day, the sky was clear and sunny.

The shogunate set up a simple tent at the middle point of the battle for the two sides to negotiate. The front faces the blue sea, and you can see the vastness of thousands of miles.

There were not many accompanying guards led by the two sides, each with seven or eight, Xia Tian mixed with the shogunate side, while Ying and Paimeng attended as Xinhai's secretary.

I thought we had negotiated terms acceptable to both parties. Today's face-to-face peace talks were just a formality. I didn't expect that they would still be fighting each other, criticizing each other, refuting the other party's excessive behavior during the war, getting emotional and even interrupting the peace talks. .

If the leader is like this, the accompanying soldiers are naturally tense, with a posture of swords drawn.

This looks like a fight!

Ying and Paimeng looked at Xia Tian worriedly, winking, as if asking what is going on?

Xia Tian was also at a loss, wondering if these two big shots were acting?

Probably for the sake of showing to the people below, no matter what the final result is, if it spreads out, it will be that they have already argued hard on the negotiating table and won the most favorable conditions. It can be regarded as a kind of political propaganda in disguise!

Politics is acting. It is not about who is doing well, but who is acting well. In fact, what should be done, what should be done, and what can be done, have long been discussed in the audience!

In the end, no matter how dangerous and noisy the process was, the result was still the same as what Xia Tian discussed with them.

Said it was a peace talk, but more because of the failure of the shogunate, Kujo Sara was indignant, and left directly... Out of etiquette, someone was ordered to prepare lunch.

Xinhai was exhausted. She couldn't cope with the communication under the eyes of many people. In order to act, she had to put on a force that was contrary to her character. This series of reluctance drained her "energy". You have to find something you like to do to let yourself go.

But I have never brought my favorite book on the art of war, and it is not good to go to the water to play in front of the soldiers.

It would be great if Xia Tian was here, talking to him can restore energy... Now he must have gone with Jiujo Shaluo!

When the negotiation was over, she paid attention, and saw Xia Tian leaving with the shogunate staff without looking back... Thinking of this, for some reason, her heart felt sour.

I closed my eyes so sour, took a deep breath to adjust my emotions, and smelled a sweet and greasy fragrance, which was getting closer and closer to the tip of my nose.

Opening his eyes, it was Ying who came over with a snack, and Paimeng beside him puffed up his cheeks: "The guy from the shogunate is not bad! I know that I have prepared lunch, and I haven't eaten such a sweet snack for a long time!"

Sugar is a relatively rare resource in Haizhi Island.

Paimon held his swollen cheeks with both hands, his face flushed slightly, and he felt the silky cream in his mouth full of happiness.

The snacks were prepared by Tianling. The soldiers on Haizhi Island couldn’t trust them, and they dared not speak up. Seeing the captain and vice-captain of the second division directly cut off several large pieces, they felt ashamed of their cowardice and ate along with them. stand up.

Ying stuffed a piece of snack into Xinhai's mouth, reached out to touch her forehead, lifted her bangs, and let the sea breeze wipe away her sweat.

Somewhat admiring: "Xinhai! You are just so majestic, and you have persuaded the nine saras!"

"call--"

Mentioning the negotiation just now, Xinhai heaved a sigh of relief, then shook his head in fear: "It's not so majestic, it can only be regarded as a small improvement compared to before... Fortunately, I took a break in the middle, otherwise I will soon be unable to hold on!"

The energy has been emptied to the bottom, and it may collapse at any time, all relying on peeking at Xia Tian to cheer yourself up.

Now that Xia Tian is not here, when I think about it, my mood is instantly depressed.

He sneaked a look in the direction of the soldier, making sure that no one was paying attention, so he spread his hands and feet, relaxed his whole body, and lay down on the chair in an unrefined posture.

Because of identity issues, Xinhai has almost no close friends. Ying is the first person she can share secrets with, so naturally she doesn't mind showing her weak side in front of her.

Paimon was also quite sensible, standing on the backrest, and pounding with his small fists: "I'll hit you on the back, will it restore your energy? Do you want Ying to read the art of war book for you?"

About the setting of "energy", Xinhai told them as a joke, but Ying and Paimeng took it very seriously, and often read the art of war to replenish her energy when Xinhai was busy.

Xinhai stretched out her hands, and let out a pleasant voice: "Yeah, sweet and sweet little Paimeng... If only I had a friend like you who can accompany me all day long."

On a whim, Xinhai blinked and asked enviously, "How did you know each other? Does Paimeng have brothers and sisters?"

"I met Paimon, it was—"

"Don't say it! Don't say it!"

Paimon rushed over and covered Ying's mouth. The scene of the encounter was too embarrassing, and he didn't want to be mentioned.

But how can her little hands cover it?

Ying said through her fingers: "When I was fishing, I caught Paimon out of the water, probably because I soaked my head in the water... Paimon can't remember anything except that he knows his name is Paimon. Woke up, so there is probably no way to find a Paimon [-] to accompany you..."

"Caught it?" Xinhai was stunned for a while, and then laughed "Puchi": "Hehehe."

"Don't laugh!" Paimon put his hands on his hips, pretending to be angry, knowing that he would be laughed at, so he didn't want Ying to mention it.

"Sorry, I'm not joking...just because, because it's too coincidental." Xinhai embraced the doll-like Paimon, rubbing his cheeks: "I was caught by him when I met Xia...to be precise, I was caught by a fishing net." caught."

This was originally a secret that Xinhai was determined to keep in her heart for the rest of her life in order to show her face as a goddess and witch. Being able to tell it out showed that she had already regarded Paimeng and Ying as her close friends.

"Eh? Using fishing nets? What's the situation?" Paimon scratched his head, unable to imagine what kind of scene it would be.

Of course, I can't imagine it, because even Xinhai, who has experienced it personally, can't reproduce the original scene in her mind. She lowered her eyes, curled the corners of her mouth, and fell into the memory of that hazy moonlight.

She couldn't tell whether it was a good or bad first encounter, but she would never regret going to sea that night, no matter how many times.

The memory is in my heart, and the brows and eyes are stretched.

"Xinhai? You seem to have recovered? It's so fast this time!"

"recover?"

Xinhai also felt that his fatigue was gone, was it because of that memory?Can mere memories add energy?

"Maybe there are some beautiful stories that come to mind?"

Ying glanced at the "understood" expression, and smiled towards Xinhai, making her face flushed: "Hmm."

He glanced at it as if complaining... Sure enough, he was easily seen through.

"What is energy?"

Suddenly a male voice broke in, which was very familiar to the three of them.

"Eh? Xia Tian... You, why are you back? Didn't you leave with Jiujo Shaluo?"

Xinhai stood up immediately like a student whose name was suddenly called, and almost threw Paimon in his arms like a doll.

The sitting posture just now is quite different from the usual elegant image, shouldn't Xia Tian see it?

I want to see the clues from Xia Tian's face, but I can't see it at all...

Didn't you notice me after you came in?That's right... From the perspective of time, the relationship between him and Ying is deeper and deeper, eh.

Girls are weird, even Xinhai can't figure it out, afraid of being seen indecent, but if Xia Tian really doesn't notice, it will be even more uncomfortable.

Xia Tian was still playing with Paimon there, clapping hands with Paimon, and said: "I'm not from the shogunate, why should I go with her? I just explained the terms of the follow-up business to the past. I will communicate with Ms. Linghua... next time we meet in an ordinary way as much as possible, just the two of you alone, so you won't be so tired, right?"

I remember that Xinhai doesn't like to appear in places with many people. Today's peace talks must have endured a lot of pressure.

So it was to help me... Xinhai felt sweet: "Thank you, I made you worry... I have to work harder!"

"Xinhai has done a good job." Ying affirmed, and Paimon nodded repeatedly.

"Really?" Xinhai couldn't think of herself this way: "Judging by the standards of "the current Goddess", I am far from enough. "

You know, before yesterday, she couldn't even understand what those soldiers were thinking.

"In the past, I just wanted to win, ensure the stability of Haizhi Island, and let everyone live happily... But now I find that this is not enough. There are thousands of people's wishes, and the standard of happiness is also different. Also, I still have a long way to go..."

Xinhai sighed.

Xia Tian stretched out her fingers and reached her lips, making her sigh more like blowing on her fingers, and she really played with it, blowing several times in a row.

"Hu-hu-hu-"

Looking at the lovely sea of ​​hearts, Xia Tian spoke softly, as calm as a windless sea: "It's okay, the road is too long, if you can't walk in one breath, just walk slowly...I—"

Seeing that Ying and Paimeng were still around, he immediately changed his words: "We will always support you."

"That……"

[I am not mature enough now, can you please stay on Haizhi Island...can you stay with me for a while? 】

This sentence was almost out of my mouth.

In the end, I changed it and asked, "Well... are you going to continue on your journey?"

She knew that the matter with Dao's wife was over, Ying and Xia Tian had no reason to stay on Haizhi Island, if they asked to stay, it would only increase their troubles.

Xia Tian looked at Ying: "Does Ying have any plans? Are you going to the next country?"

I haven't forgotten that Ying is the protagonist. Although I seem to have done something, I still have to follow Ying to slowly unravel the haze that surrounds the world.

So, the next country is...

Unexpectedly, Ying shook her head: "Not for now, I want to go back to Liyue and Mond first."

Paimon agreed: "Yes, yes, I haven't seen Mona and the others for a long time, I miss them so much! I don't know if the hot spring is ready, and Barbara's dried fish has not been eaten for a long time!"

When it comes to dried fish, there is dried fish.

"Give."

Xia Tian took it out from his pocket.

Paimon actually folded and jumped in the air, caught it directly with his mouth, and immediately complained to Xia Tian after tasting that delicious mouthful: "Since there is one, why didn't you take it out sooner! Really!"

Xia Tian scratched her nose with his hand, and joked, "Pimon's sense of smell is bad, he can't even smell the scent of dried fish! Before, you could smell it wherever I hid."

Although it was very funny, he really tried to hide the dried fish in his crotch, and Paimon found it easily that time.

This time, it was Barbara who lowered the spiciness. She said that there will be many sisters in the future, with different tastes. smell it.

Send Paimeng away, and return to Ying's answer just now.

After Xia Tian told her about meeting the Defender of the Heavenly Law, Ying already knew that the unknown god was not the Seven Gods of Teyvat, but Barbatos and Morax were covering up in various ways, and probably she would not know many clues if she continued to go to other countries.

Perhaps only by going to the Winter Solstice can we gain something... But the current strength is not enough to directly face the Fools and the Queen Winter Solstice.

He gathered Xia Tian again and said that he met his brother in Liyue, and also met him once in some kind of abyss channel in Mond, so he can be sure that his brother is now in the company of the abyss.

Whether it is due to degeneration or other reasons, if you want to see your brother, it may be more likely to choose to start from the abyss.

Ying said: "I want to investigate Liyue and Mond's clues about the abyss, maybe I can meet my brother sooner... After waiting, I will consider going to other countries."

"Well, I've experienced a lot in the past few months, and it's good to take a little rest."

Xia Tian is very supportive, and he also wants to spend more time with the lonely girls at home.

………………

………………

In this way, it is time to say goodbye to Xinhai.

"Let's send it here! If it is farther away, it will be close to the Jiutiao Zhenya!"

Xia Tian said, let Xinhai stop.
