Chapter 23: The Grapevine

Although these samurai had never seen Raiden Shogun's token, they could not mistake the Raiden Triple Ba pattern on the token, which symbolized eternity.

The three priests have their own family crests, and those who are eligible to mint such tokens are the only Raiden Shogun in Inazuma who symbolizes eternity.

The several samurai who were in charge of the Kanding were shocked by the triple bashi pattern on the token, and they all stopped and looked at Anping in a daze.

"You're a foreigner, how can you have the general's token?" The samurai at the head stared at Anpei and asked.

Is that the General's token? Li Xiao and Master Qin, the thunder hand, both looked at An Ping in surprise. Didn't he say that it was the token of the Heavenly Order?

"Is this something you need to know? Why, if you have any opinions, why don't you tell the general? Anpei's expression was rather sarcastic as he looked at the samurai.

For a moment, the samurai of Kanding became as ugly as a pig's liver. The samurai who was the leader was called Katsuhisa Shimazu.

It was the one who wanted to marry Li Wei, but now Li Wei has completely lost his sense of existence in his eyes.

How can a woman have his life important? The Shimazu family and the Hiiragi family have a great relationship, and they are grasshoppers tied to a rope, so Shimazu Katsuyo knows a little bit about the Hiiragi family.

Could it be that this foreigner is the general's eyeliner? How did you come to the outlying islands at this time? Has the Shogun discovered something?

If the Hiiragi family colluded with the Fatui to loot resources on the outlying islands and provide them to the Fatui if Raiden Shogun knew about it, there was no doubt that the Hiiragi family and the Shimazu family would definitely be wiped out under the thunder.

Katsuhisa Shimazu was the one with the deepest fear in his heart among all the people present at the moment. He looked at An Ping with a gloomy face.

Extreme fear, in some cases, can be transformed into the courage to swallow the sky. For example, both horizontal and vertical are when they die.

"Shimazu, let's go... That guy has the Shogun's token in his hand... In case this matter is caused to the Shogun..."Several samurai around Shimazu Katsuhisa have already retreated in their hearts.

"Wait... I suspect this person's token is fake! "Katsuhisa Shimazu has already made a decision in a short period of time.

It doesn't matter whether the token in Anping's hand is real or fake, when someone suspected of being related to Raiden General comes to the outlying island, Shimazu Katsuhisa will definitely not let him leave.

The matter of the Survey and the Fatui must not leak the slightest rumor to the ears of the general.

So the best if the token is fake, it's nothing more than a false alarm, a swaggering foreigner, no matter how you deal with it, no one will stand up for him.

But if it's true... Katsuhisa Shimazu's eyes flashed with fierceness. is not only ruthless to Anping, but also ruthless to several companions around him.

Kill this person on the spot, and when the time comes, the general will blame him and push these people out to talk back. It's better than he found clues on the outlying islands and brought disaster to Raiden Shogun to the Shimazu family and the Hiiragi family.

If you want to blame, blame you for being an idiot who doesn't understand the current situation. Katsuhisa Shimazu's mind flows only between lightning and flint.

"Fake? Shimadzu... You're going to be sure... If that's true, we'll be in bad luck..."Unlike the audacious Katsuhisa Shimazu, for a few samurai on the edge of power, this kind of thing would rather be believed than not.

"How have you ever heard of the Shogun giving a token to a foreigner for thousands of years, this person definitely doesn't know where he heard the news of the token, and he made a piece of it privately, and deceived him in Inazuma! We'll arrest him first, and then we'll ask the general for confirmation. Even if it were true, we were just doing our duty, and the general would not blame us. Shimazu Katsuhisa explained, and several people looked at Anping hesitantly.

Anpei heard what they said, and also discovered the killing intent in Shimazu Katsuhisa's eyes. Just want to kill a woman you have an unrequited love for helping another man wipe his mouth?

What kind of domineering president is this? An Ping smiled disdainfully, put the token away, and leaned lazily on the chair.

"Since you think it's fake, I won't refute it, you can take me back and imprison me and wait for verification... But... You have to think about it first, the general is very fond of me, she may be watching what is happening here, and I can't say what will happen if you go any further... Don't be unpredictable..."Looking at Anping's troubled appearance, several samurai looked at Shimazu Katsuhisa.

If what the man said was true, they could not afford to offend. Katsuhisa's face became more and more gloomy. He wished that Anping would rise up to resist, which would be convenient for him to take advantage of the chaos to kill directly.

"We're just doing business, offended..."But it doesn't matter, after bringing it back, Shimazu Katsukushi has a way to let him die quietly.

As for the general's words that he was looking at him, Shimazu Katsuhisa didn't believe a word. He is a foreigner, how can He De be qualified to be favored by the general.

"Shinsuke, Shinyi, please bring this Shogun's distinguished guest back to the Imperial Palace, and wait for the identity of the castle tower to be confirmed." Katsuhisa Shimazu gave an order.

As a result, a few followers, you look at me, I look at you, and finally they all look at Shimazu Katsuhisa. They really don't have the guts.

Although these people have a humble status, they are not stupid. If that person's token was really given by the general, then they would definitely be the first to be pushed out to blame them.

Disobeying the Shimazu family, it's a big deal to lose the job, and the shogun may be bricked into the statue of the god under the fingers of the general.

In Inazuma, being disobedient and being put into the idol by the shogun is a sentence designed to scare children.

But it is also deeply popular.

"A bunch of trash!" Shimazu Katsuhisa knew the concerns of these people, his face sank, and he walked straight towards Anping.

All of this waste was then expelled from the Survey and Commissioned, and a group of more loyal ones followed me... Seeing Shimazu Katsuhisa walking towards him with a gloomy face, the corners of Anping's mouth hooked.

Shimazu Katsuhisa saw Anhei's sinister smile, and his sixth sense suddenly issued a warning. However, he was not given a chance to react.

There was a thunderclap on the ground. The thunder that fell from the sky scorched Shimazu Katsuhisa on the outside and on the inside. After the thunder, the restaurant was silent for a while, until Katsuhisa Shimazu, who was charred, fell to the ground with green smoke and let out a winter sound.

Everyone looked at Katsuhisa Shimazu who had fallen to the ground, and then at the huge hole above the restaurant, and everyone panicked for a while.

"Lord Daigosho is angry!" I don't know who shouted, and everyone in the restaurant clasped their fists and prayed to the gods.

A few people who followed Shimazu Katsuhisa were even more shaken into the sieve.

"It's all said, don't be unpredictable... Tsk, you guys, carry him out, don't affect everyone's appetite. Anping shook his head and waved his hand at the remaining samurai.

Of course, this thunder was cracked down by him. An Ping, who has accumulated a huge amount of thunder element in his body, is still worried that he can't find a place to release it.

Several people trembled their hands, lifted Shimazu Katsuhisa, who was still smoking on the ground and had no human appearance at all, and hurriedly left.

"Kong Eun Gong... You... You..."Li Xiao only felt as if his throat and eyes were stuck with glue.

"Don't worry, if I told you at the time that I knew the general, you wouldn't believe it, so I just said that Kanding was carried out, and now you don't have to worry about it." An Ping looked at Li Xiao with a smile.

"Kong Eun Gong... I toast you! I dare not say thank you for my great kindness, I will never forget that shipload of goods! At this time, Li Xiao's attitude towards Anping was more respectful than before.

And Li Wei, who had just been frightened, was temporarily relieved at this time, and looked at Anping's two stars popping up.

Gentle, reliable, handsome, calm... If it's a Liyue person, it's a hundred percent!

"It's a small thing, it's not enough to worry about... But speaking of which, I haven't been to Liyue in a long time... I don't know if there have been any changes in Liyue recently, and if there are any changes in the Seven Stars and Eight Gates?"

... Kanding is on this side. Shinsuke Hiiragi, the head of the Hiiragi family, who was talking to the lady, received the news that Katsuhisa Shimazu had offended the honored guest of the shogun, who had been killed by a thunderbolt.

It was the housekeeper of the Hiiragi family who received the news and knew the seriousness of the matter, so he hurried in and whispered in Hiiragi's ear without disturbing the head of the house to greet the distinguished guests.

After listening to the butler's report, Hiiragi's face was a little unbearable. At such a time, how could there be a person close to the general on the outlying islands?

And when did the Shogun have a foreigner friend? Even guarding him all the time? What's more, why the Hiiragi family's spies in Inazuma Castle don't know anything about this!

? What a bunch of idiots!

"Hiiragi Shinsuke, your face doesn't look very good, what's the matter, do you need my help?" The arrogant lady is not even interested in eavesdropping, but looking at Shinsuke Hiiragi's appearance, she can guess that the Hiiragi family seems to be in trouble.

The lady actually looks down on the Hiiragi family from the bottom of her heart, but the Hiiragi family, as the Fatui's partner in Inazuma, will be more troublesome if something goes wrong.

After all, it is not easy to find the next Inazuma family that is powerful and willing to provide supplies to the Fatui.

"A little thing, don't bother Your Excellency Madam to worry about it, the survey can solve it by yourself." Where does Shinsuke Hiiragi dare to let the lady make a move, for fear that the Hiiragi family will not disappear fast enough?

"Okay, in that case, I won't stay in the Hiiragi family for long, but no matter what trouble you have, I believe it won't affect the materials that the Fatui will need for the next batch of experiments, right?" The lady glanced at Shinsuke Hiiragi, whose hair was gray and wrinkled.

Although there was no eavesdropping, Shinsuke Hiiragi actually refused the opportunity to let her make a move, and the lady realized that Shinsuke Hiiragi had concerns.

So in order not to affect the plans of the Fatui in Inazuma, the lady will not stay in the Hiiragi family for a long time.

"That's natural, and this doesn't affect the cooperation between our Hiiragi family and the Fatui." Shinsuke Hiiragi looks confident.

But after the lady left, Hiiragi Shinsuke's face immediately dropped, and he spilled all the teacups on the table on the ground.

"Idiot! The Shimazu family is all a bunch of idiots! After venting, Hiiragi Shinsuke quickly calmed down and began to think about ways to remedy it.

Originally, even if the shogun knew about it, it wouldn't be anything... He could have been interpreted as an ordinary cooperation with a friendly country, but now the fool of the Shimazu family dares to do something to the person who gave the token to the Shogun... This is no small matter.

Shinsuke Hiiragi, as the head of the Hiiragi family, knows the value of this token. In the history of Inazuma, there are only a few hands that have won this honor.

Whether it's a foreigner or not, Hiiragi Shinsuke doesn't really care. What he cared more about was that this person was so loved by the general.

According to the steward, Shimazu Katsuhisa just took a step forward before he was punished by the general.

The moment the general lowered the thunder penalty, I don't know if my eyes swept over the entire outlying island... These idiots of the Shimazu family are really more than successful!

But since that foreigner is very fond of the Shogun, maybe... Just pull him in to survey the camp that he pursues.

Shinsuke Hiiragi quickly made a decision. The shadow looked up the mountain, and Yae Miko smiled and leaned back and forth.

"What a bold little fellow, who actually said that he was the darling of that coward... If she hadn't shrunk into the Pure Land of One Heart and not come out, you would have been bricked into the idol by now, right? Yae Miko held the light and patted it lightly on her plump chest, and a pair of foxy eyes rolled and turned.

"Why don't I just add fuel to the fire for you, maybe you little guy can trick that coward out?" ...

"Perhaps the biggest change in Liyue today is the recent establishment of a school in Liyue with great fanfare... It is said that the pilot project will start at Qingcezhuang and then slowly spread to the whole of Liyue... However, I heard that it was a completely public welfare project, but after the insurance and the fact that Lord Tianquan Xing had harvested so much Mora, the merchants of Liyue no longer believed that it was a purely public welfare project, and they were all studying the doorway to it..."Since Kong Engong was curious, Li Xiao also talked about the changes in Liyue today.

Ningguang runs a school? Although this is not what he wants to hear, Anping can't figure out Ningguang's thoughts for a while.

Could it be that she has penetrated the doorway of real estate economics?

"But speaking of Ningguang-sama... In fact, the recent gossip has become even more popular..."Li Wei, who often listens to books in the teahouse, interjected.

"Oh? What? Anping's eyes lit up. As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, although this kind of gossip cannot be trusted, but it does have reference value.

"I heard that recently, Lord Tianquan Xingningguang and Lord Yuheng Xing Keqing broke off for the sake of a man... But this is also the news that I heard in the teahouse, and everyone only sees it as an after-dinner pleasure, so how can any man be worthy of the love of two adults in Liyue's Seven Stars? ”

"It's true, it's fake when you hear it, and it has no credibility at all..."An Ping's smile was a little stiff.

"Is that how it was said in Liyue City? But because we martial artists are hired by the fleet as bodyguards all year round, I heard in the sailors' rumors that it is because Yuhengxing and Tianquan Xing and the secretary of Yuehaiting have stopped getting along with each other because of the death of a man... It is said that a lot of girls from Mondstadt are also involved...", Master Qin, the thunder hand, interjected at the right time.

This kind of gossip is spreading everywhere, and An Ping knows that he really can't go back.
