Chapter 179 Coral Palace Guard
Everyone knows that the war between the rebels and the shogunate is ultimately about one thing: the abolition of the Eye Hunting Order.
Most of the people who were deeply harmed by the Eye Hunting Order, except for those like Manyo who had the secret help of the Kamisato family to escape from Inazuma, actually ended up on Kaiji Island after a long period of time.
After all, people with both strength and background like Wanyo are in the minority. In order to protect themselves, most people can only choose to join the resistance...
No matter how disadvantaged the rebels are, no matter how obvious their defeat is on the battlefield, it is better than them staying in Inazuma City and living in confusion after being deprived of the Eye of God.
Of course, when this goal was achieved, a considerable number of resistance soldiers naturally lost the reason to continue fighting. Many of them chose to take off their resistance uniforms, return to Inazuma City, and get back their own Eye of God.
After getting back the God's Eye, some people will return to Kaiji Island because of the long war and the memory of Kaiji Island, while others will stay in Inazuma Castle and look for their old lives.
As for the remaining people, they were either members of Kaijijima soldiers like Goro, and they still chose to stay in the army, or they completely took off their military uniforms and returned to farm life...
Because the two sides have just ceased fighting, not many people have made a choice at the moment. There are still many people who have reservations about the credibility of the Inazuma Shogunate.
Of course...perhaps the more important reason is that the leader of Haiji Island, Coral Palace Xinhai, has not returned to Haiji Island yet. Obviously, if this leader does not return for a day, their hearts will not let go.
Even though the general of the shogunate army, Kujo Masahito, personally brought a group of unarmed soldiers to deliver the latest documents from the shogunate, the front line of Kaiji Island still did not withdraw all the soldiers. The long-term confrontation made the soldiers lose any trust in the shogunate. .
Kujo Masahito obviously understood this, but as a general of the shogunate army, he could not do much. He could only release as much goodwill as possible while waiting for Coral Palace Shinkai to return to Kaiji Island.
...
Daozuma City, where Tianling is stationed.
While waiting for Liyue and Inazuma's legal team to verify the issue, Ningzhe was invited by the current acting head of the Kujo family, Kujo Kamaharu, and came to Tianling as a guest.
The guests invited by Kujo Kamaji this time are not only Ningzhe, but also Coral Palace Shinkai, who is currently in Inazuma Castle and has an embarrassing status.
Originally, Ningzhe really didn't want to agree, but when he thought that Xinhai had also been invited and even agreed, he had no choice but to accept the invitation.
After all, this young master of the Kujo family will most likely officially take over the post of Tianling envoy in the future, so there is no harm in getting in touch now...
Moreover, he and Coral Palace Shinkai were invited at the same time, and one could tell at a glance that the head of the Kujo family, Mingdai, wanted to do something with this.
However, once he arrived in the hall, Ningzhe realized that this trip might not be that simple.
Ningzhe was the last one to arrive among everyone present. When he arrived at the scene, people were already sitting on the other tables and chairs placed in the hall.
Kujo Kamaji, Coral Palace Shinkai, Goro...and Kujo Sora.
That's right, Kujo Sora!
She was actually there?!
You must know that this shogunate general is different from the one stationed at the Kujo Formation House. She is the purest supporter of the Thunder and Lightning General, and the most devout believer in [Eternity]...
Correspondingly, her attitude towards the rebels who dare to openly raise the flag of rebellion is also very obvious...
As a warrior, her thoughts and practices are very simple, and can be summed up in one sentence: [Coral Palace is a threat that can erupt at any moment].
And since it is a "threat", it is necessary to extinguish it before it brews into a "disaster".
Similarly, as a general in the army, Goro clearly felt Kujo Sora's hostility, but at the moment he was in the opponent's base camp, and since there was no other instruction from his heart, he had no choice but to hold back his thoughts.
But obviously... once Kujo Sora makes any [unacceptable request], Goro will stand up and refute it immediately.
"..."
Even when he just walked in, Ningzhe felt the low pressure. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
"Is Mr. Ningzhe here? Please take a seat!"
Seeing Ningzhe enter the hall escorted by the samurai, Kujo Kamaji smiled and quickly asked the samurai to guide Ningzhe, his attitude was extremely friendly.
"Okay, I'd like to trouble the Kujo family leader."
Ningzhe also smiled, agreed, and sat directly in the seat assigned to him.
This location is the closest to Kujo Kamaji besides Kujo Sora. It seems that the head of the family, Meidai, has also put some effort into the location...
"Mr. Ningzhe's words are really embarrassing. The head of the Kujo family is still the father, and I am just an expert in the name of the head of the family."
Hearing Ningzhe's name, Kujo Kamaji's pupils flickered for a moment, and then he said with some embarrassment: "My father made a big mistake, and he is still in prison to reflect on it... The Kujo family still relies on the support of eldest brother and Sister Sora.
prestige."
As he spoke, Kujo Kamaji naturally drew everyone's attention to Kujo Sora, and Ningzhe also looked over.
"Miss Shanluo, it's been a long time."
It was not until now that Ningzhe entered the hall for nearly a minute that he formally greeted the shogunate general.
"Mr. Ningzhe."
Hearing this, Kujo Suluo also nodded and agreed.
"I invited Mr. and Miss Coral Palace to come here today. Actually, it was Sister Sanluo who wanted to discuss something with the two of them..."
Seeing that these two heavyweights had greeted each other, Kujo Kamaji gave Shinkai a very subtle look, and then spoke again: "The war between the shogunate and the rebels is over, but the bad blood between the two sides is still there.
It has not been eliminated yet, so..."
"Therefore, on behalf of the Inazuma Shogunate, I negotiate with the leaders of the resistance."
Before Kujo Kamaji finished speaking, Kujo Sora spoke with an extremely cold tone, and then added: "The content of this negotiation, please also invite [Celebrity] Mr. Ningzhe to be a witness."
"..."
Hearing this, Ningzhe raised his eyebrows subconsciously, glanced at Kujo Kamaji in surprise, and then glanced at Xinhai, only to find that these two guys had a dull look on their faces, as if they had guessed it a long time ago.
Well... I was invited because of my status as a [celebrity].
"...certainly."
Thoughts flashed through his mind, Ningzhe naturally couldn't refuse this request, so he nodded lightly and agreed.
Goro's expression was also a bit confused, and it seemed that he didn't know the specific situation... So, this matter should be the result of a private meeting between Kujo Kamaji and Shinkai.
Coral Palace Heart Sea...She hasn't returned to Kaiji Island yet. Should she negotiate with the shogunate now?
