Zongman: A journey through time starting from the Supreme

Chapter 73: Call me brother-in-law next time we meet

"In that case, I should discuss the wedding date with Mr. Zaratul next."

Lei Dianzhen stood up with an excited look on his face and said impatiently.

She was so anxious that it seemed as if she couldn't wait to marry Saigo.

Saigo raised his head and looked at her in surprise.

Lei Dianzhen immediately smiled awkwardly, her face flushed, and she sat back down somewhat embarrassedly.

She looked a little shy, her eyes wandering, and whispered: "...the Inazuma people have longed for peace for too long."

"…If we set the wedding date early, we can also reassure the people of the shogunate and the people of Kaigi, and tell them that the war is completely over."

After finishing speaking, Lei Dianzhen's face flushed red, and she spoke again: "...Of course, this is just one of the reasons."

"...Another important reason is that Ying and I have been holding back time to prevent the war from ending and deciding who will take the ruling position in the mortal world."

"Besides my wife, I only know that the Demon War in Liyue has ended, but the news in other regions is unclear."

"…I am afraid that if the Demon God War in other regions is also over, and only Inazuma is delaying here, if the Order of the Day intervenes personally, Ying and I will not know what to do."

"Therefore, we must end the war as soon as possible and decide on the position of ruler. This will prevent any unexpected events in the future that would make it difficult for me to make a decision."

Lei Dianzhen's tone was soft and tender. She covered her moist cherry lips with the wide sleeves of her kimono and spoke in her sweet voice.

"Miss Zhen is telling the truth."

Saigo nodded slightly and said.

There was really no need for Lei Dian to tell herself these reasons, but she said them all anyway, which showed her sincerity.

"From now on, Mr. Zaratul and I are husband and wife."

"...Human couples even respect each other like guests. Since Mr. Zaratul and I are role models, we naturally cannot hide too much."

"It would be bad if it caused a rift between the couple and created suspicion."

Lei Dianzhen shook his head slightly, and now he was considering the issue completely from the perspective of Xixiang's wife.

This made Saigo admire the Thunder General even more.

Lei Dian's true thoughts are very clear and delicate, but they will not make people feel disgusted, nor will they use their delicate thoughts for conspiracies and intrigues. He can be said to treat people sincerely and openly.

How can one not like such a smart, decisive, noble and dignified woman who does not get entangled in meaningless trivial matters between men and women?

If ordinary women are as scheming as concubines, then Lei Dian is really like a queen who is the mother of the country, with a magnanimous demeanor. It can even be said that she is more like an empress.

Saigo looked at the gentle and graceful woman in front of him and said softly, "...In that case, the marriage contract will be decided by Miss Zhen."

"…The people of Umijima are from the abyss, so they don't have that many rules, and they don't know the folk culture of Inazuma. These things are prepared by the shogunate."

Lei Dianzhen nodded, and after a moment of contemplation, she said to Kitsunayagiya who was kneeling behind her, "... Kitsunayagiya, you, the chief priest of Narugami Taisha Shrine, will choose an auspicious day."

"…Next, you should inform the Kamisato family, who are in charge of the shrine, and let them determine all the rules for the memorial service."

After that, Raiden Shin explained to Saigo: "...the Kamisato family, the shrine magistrate, has always been in charge of the shogunate's festivals and celebrations."

"…The Kamisato family was also in charge of the weddings of some high-ranking officials of the shogunate. The shrine magistrates were responsible for this purpose, so it was reassuring to leave it to them."

This is because Raiden was really afraid that Saigo didn't know what the club magistrate did, so he explained it to him.

Saigo shook his head and smiled, "...I said that everything will be decided by the shogunate. If there is anything you need my cooperation with, just tell me."

……

The wedding is decided, and the next step is to prepare for the wedding and the wedding date.

Even the wedding preparations for ordinary wealthy families in the shogunate were extremely complicated, let alone the shogun's wedding.

That night, Lei Dianzhen stayed in the Coral Palace, and then she sent Kitsai Palace back to Mingshen Island to inform Sanfengxing to prepare in advance for the upcoming wedding ceremony.

Originally, Saigo wanted Lei Dianying to replace Kitsukosaiguni to go back to Mingjin Island. As the general's shadow, it would be more appropriate for Lei Dianying to come forward than Kitsukosaiguni.

It is not a matter of course for a younger sister to prepare the wedding for her older sister.

But in the end, Lei Dian Zhen still refused and sent Hu Zhaigong back.

According to Raiden Makoto, she and Ying are still captives. In order to express her sincerity, the correct choice is to let Ying continue to stay here as a captive.

Even if Raiden really knew that even if he let Ying go back, Ying would not suddenly turn against him and prepare for another battle with Kaigi Island.

But believing in film is one thing, and some superficial work still needs to be done.

After Saigo heard Raiden's reasons, he admired this woman even more.

Apart from his lack of martial arts skills, Lei Dian's personality can be described as perfect in his dealings with people and is absolutely impeccable.

Such a woman is simply the best wife.

No wonder Lei Dianying and other people in the shogunate admired this general so much.

As night fell, outside the Coral Palace, Lei Dianzhen stood under a beautiful branch that shone with a faint light, like a gem. She raised her jade hand and gently stroked the branch of the tree...

"This is a tree that is unique to Umijima."

"...I talked to the chief priest here, Coral Palace. She told me that the abyss is dark and without light. Before the age of fire and light, the people in the abyss relied on the light of these plants to survive."

"I think it was an extremely difficult time. In this lightless world, they had to fight against the ancient dragon lizards in the deep sea. The fact that they were able to develop to this point shows the perseverance and determination of these sea gods."

Lei Dianzhen spoke in a gentle tone. She had already regarded the people of Haigi Island as her own people. When she heard about their miserable and bitter lives in the past, she felt pity for them.

"Really, about the wedding..."

The shadow standing behind Lei Dianzhen stammered and spoke in a somewhat dull voice.

Raidenjin turned around, looked at his sister and said softly: "...I know what you want to say, Ying. Do you think I agreed to the engagement under duress?"

Lei Dianying nodded. Even though she knew this was actually the best solution, there was always a hurdle in her heart that she couldn't get over.

"This is not coercion at all. It's obviously Mr. Zaratul who is showing mercy to us."

"...He could have completely ignored our lives, but he chose this path."

"Whether I agree or not has nothing to do with my own will. If Mr. Zaratul forces me, I can do nothing about it."

"...But Mr. Zaratul is still willing to respect me, respect my choice, and give up his own strength. For this alone, I am grateful enough."

Seeing the gentle face of Lei Dianzhen, Ying opened his mouth and said dully: "...The Great Imperial God of Gaotian is elegant, steady, and powerful."

"...He is a good match for my sister, and he will be able to protect you in the future."

Lei Dianzhen smiled and teased Ying, "...next time you meet, you may have to call him brother-in-law. Don't use such a respectful title anymore."

"…The reason I made this choice, besides being the best outcome, is also because I don't want us sisters to kill each other."

Lei Dianzhen walked in front of Ying, opened her arms, gently hugged Ying, and let her lean on her surging arms.

Feeling her sister's warmth, Ying pressed her face against hers and closed her beautiful eyes unconsciously.

Lei Dianzhen gently stroked Lei Yingying's hair and said softly: "... Ying, don't be so entangled, and don't be so worried. You should be happier."

"...Sister will still need Ying to protect her from now on."

"You should enjoy the present moment. Without this momentary happiness, how can there be eternity?"

Chapter 74: Invite Emperor Liyue to attend the wedding!

Takatsuma Oomikami of Umijima and Shogun Narukami got married, and the news of their upcoming wedding spread throughout the Inazuma region in a very short time.

As for the people of Kaigi Island, they did not have any comment on this news, but only expressed their devout blessings to the Great God of Takami.

These people who once lived in the abyss have an unimaginable level of fanaticism in their belief in gods.

Now that Orobas has died, their faith in the only god they believe in has become even stronger than before.

In particular, Saigo once displayed his invincible military power on Yae Island, captured the terrible Ming Shen, and led them to victory in the war.

Now, Bayun Island is also under the control of Haiqi Island, and the Haiqi people have gained real soil and space for survival.

The prestige of this victory brought Saigo's status in the hearts of the Kaigi people to an extreme peak.

They would obey any order Saigo issued now, it didn't make any sense.

In the eyes of the people of Kaigi Island, it was a blessing for Narukami that she could marry their Takami Oomikami.

However, compared to the people of Umijima, the 50,000 captured shogunate soldiers were in an uproar.

These ordinary shogunate people did not know that there were two Narukami. The Narukami they thought of was the shadow who was defeated in Yagyu Island.

Not long after the marriage news was announced, Takami Omikami issued an order to pardon the crimes of these shogunate soldiers.

As long as they work as laborers on Haigi Island for three months, they can return home.

It was this news that made many shogunate soldiers believe that it must be Narukami who chose to sacrifice herself and marry Takami Oomikami in order to save them.

Such ideas spread among the defeated shogunate soldiers and even caused several riots.

It was Raiden Makoto who came forward personally and explained to these shogunate soldiers that her marriage to Takatsune Oomikami was only for the purpose of ending the war and bringing peace, which suppressed the riots of the shogunate soldiers.

Since even the Shogun said so, what else can the shogunate soldiers say?

These two gods are a perfect match, so what right do the shogunate soldiers have to stop them?

Eventually the riots stopped and all the shogunate soldiers accepted the result.

The feelings that the shogunate soldiers had for General Raiden were not those between men and women. They did not dare to have such feelings for the majestic general.

In the eyes of the shogunate, their feelings towards General Raiden were mostly respect and awe.

Since the general said so, they could only accept it.

……

The news that the general was about to get married spread like wildfire among the Inazuma people.

The shogunate had just been defeated in a war not long ago, and then there was news that the shogun was getting married, which made the Inazuma people always confide in each other after dinner.

Some people blessed the general, while others were indignant, thinking that their wife and children were still alive, so how could the war end by having the general get married? Wasn't this the greatest injustice to the general?

Isn't this selling out the general in exchange for peace?

However, Lei Dianzhen had already anticipated this.

Therefore, when Kitsunesai-nomiya returned to Narukami Island, he specifically instructed her to let the shogunate publicize that she was not getting married because of the defeat.

Instead, she, the General of Thunder, fell in love with Takatsune Daimikami of Umijima at first sight, so she decided to stop the war and end the fight between the two sides through marriage.

Although Raiden didn't mind his reputation being damaged, he was willing to admit that the shogunate was defeated.

But the final outcome was still ended in this way that preserved the general's dignity.

The main reason was that Raiden was really afraid that the people of the shogunate would panic and lead to unnecessary fights.

There are always some die-hard fans who are fanatical about the general and do not want the general's reputation to be damaged.

As long as it is publicized that it was the general who took the initiative and that the two were in love, the general's fanatical fans would only follow the general's orders.

……

In the castle tower, Kitsunesaigumi returned to Narugami Island and summoned the head of the three magistrates.

The three heads of the Kujo family, which was in charge of Tenryo Bugyo, the Hiiragi family, which was in charge of Kanjo Bugyo, and the Kamizato family, which was in charge of Shrine Bugyo, all knelt respectfully in the main hall and accepted instructions.

Kitsusai-no-Miya sat at the head and gave the general's order: "...Master Kujo, in two months, the 50,000 captured soldiers will return to Narukami Island."

"…The task of accepting these soldiers is now given to you, and you must be careful not to let these soldiers talk nonsense and maintain the stability of the shogunate. Do you understand?"

Hu Zhaigong conveyed the general's order and said.

"I know how to do it, Lord Palace Administrator!"

The head of the Kujo family bowed his head and said.

"Well, when the general gets married, the Tianling Fengxing will also need to send enough people to prevent some scoundrels from causing trouble."

Kitsuzai Palace said again.

Then, she looked at the head of the Kanjo Bugyo family who controlled the Inazuma state financial institutions and said, "...Master Hiiragi, make a detailed report when you return."

"…We must allocate as much money as possible to prepare for the Shogun's wedding without affecting the shogun's finances."

"General Yongheng, the only wedding in your life must be held in a grand manner and leave a deep mark in history."
