Chapter 352 The Shadow of Sharpening the Knife (Page 12)
One person and one fox soon arrived at the castle tower.
The castle tower remains as usual, and the Okukis are faithfully performing their duties. After some rectification of the Tenryo administration, Kujo Renji, the second son of the previous head of the family, Kujo Takayuki, has secured his position in the Tenrye administration.
The top management of Inazuma has completely gotten rid of the turbulent situation and is thriving.
In the castle tower, Zhen and Ying were sitting opposite each other. There was a table between them. There were some books on the table. They seemed to be talking about something.
"Although Dao Qi currently has no urgent problems to solve, there is an old saying in Liyue that people without long-term worries will have immediate worries. General, what do you think is the most important thing for us at the moment?" Zhen Zhen asked with a soft voice. Looking at the shadow in front of him, no, that's not a shadow, it should be the general.
After reaching a consensus with Ying, the general rarely appeared, but he actually appeared here today, and he was still discussing something with Zhen.
General Leiden looked at Zhen in front of him expressionlessly: "The negative way is to continue to maintain a neutral attitude, wait and see the situation of all parties, and respond to changes by remaining unchanged."
Zhen nodded: "What else?"
"A positive approach... seek cooperation with Mond Liyue, reach a strategic alliance, and advance and retreat together with Barbatos and Morax. However, this move is risky and is not recommended." General Thunder continued.
There was really no comment, just a slight nod, and then continued to ask: "What do you think of the relationship between Liyue and Dao Wife? In other words, how does Liyue view Dao Wife now?"
“The country of Liyue has always had a softer attitude towards the outside world, but since the new Tianquan came to power, their national policy has undergone some subtle changes, especially since last year, Morax abdicated as the Rock God and Seven Stars took power.
Liyue's foreign policy became tougher, especially regarding sea islands and interference, which was barely concealed. General Leiden said, seeming to be quite dissatisfied with this.
Really raising his eyebrows, the general mentioned Kaiji Island. This is also the most direct problem faced by the Inazuma Shogunate, regarding the ownership of Kaiji Island: "General, what is the biggest resistance to regaining Kaiji Island?"
"Dark Priest, Aurora Saphire." Speaking of this name, General Thunder also had a headache. "There are too many things involved behind her. Even if I am as stupid as me, I know that it is not a good idea to confront her, but she It happens to occupy Haiji Island, which makes us feel like we are stuck in our throats."
"No country will leave unchecked forces that violate its territorial sovereignty, but we are in this situation." Zhen said such words, but maintained a light smile on her face, and she did not look angry at all.
General Thunder and Lightning closed her eyes. After a few seconds, she opened her eyes again. Purple light lit up in her eyes. Shadow took over from General Thunder and Lightning.
"Sister is saying these things again." Ying frowned slightly. She always felt that it was not appropriate to keep insisting on this point.
After all, Kaiji Island has never been under the rule of the shogunate. Externally, the person in charge there is still Coral Palace Xinhai. The Fools just chose to station there and provide some supplies for Kaiji Island.
Moreover, this part of the supplies was due to the original contract between Safire and General Thunder, and they cooperated in the name of support.
From the outside looking in, there is nothing wrong here.
Lei Dianzhen looked at his sister helplessly: "You are a fool. I can only discuss these matters with the general. The general's political sense is much keener than yours. It is indeed more suitable for her to take charge than for you to do it yourself. Some."
"What's the use? I've been tricked by that bastard Safire. Besides, since my sister is back, of course it's best for you to take charge." Ying curled her lips. After a period of settling down, her personality became stronger than before. Lively, especially after Zhen came back, she had a tendency to return to her natural state.
The Fools only used a few supplies to exchange for the ownership of Haiji Island, and also took the Yuanxia Palace into their pockets. This method can be regarded as an empty glove. The key point is that the shogunate did not get anything from this. Benefits, but also a personal loss in vain.
The loss is really big.
However, after such a long period of adjustment, I no longer have to worry about this matter anymore. Now I use it more as a negative teaching material to discuss with General Raiden to arouse vigilance.
Zhen shook her head and smiled helplessly: "You, you have been a god for five hundred years, and you are still so careless." As she said that, she sighed helplessly, "Recently, I collected Saphire I carefully analyzed the previous operational information.”
Ying was obviously more interested in this topic. She sat up slightly and asked, "What did you find?"
Before Zhen could continue to speak, Yaegamiko and Safire pushed the door open and entered.
Seeing the two people arriving, Zhen stood up and said, "Why are you free to come to our place today? Why, the inspection work is here?" She didn't feel embarrassed at all when she said something bad about others and was exposed. Instead, she looked calm.
"That's right. Ina Wife is doing well. I'm very pleased." Safire responded without any burden.
Zhen Qing spat: "Shameless and skinless."
Safir actually heard what Shin and Kage said, and Yaegamiko also heard it, but the two did not make it clear that what Safir did to Kaijijima was indeed unkind, but her kindness to Inazuma was also real. . Whether it was the resurrection of Huzhai Palace or its true return, Safire had done a great job.
The reconciliation between Shadow and General was also brought about by Safir, although there was also a reason why she needed the Thunder God's Heart.
Although interests cannot be measured so simply, their positions should not be hostile.
Safire walked slowly to Zhenzhen's side with his hands behind his back, and whispered into the other person's ear: "Miss Barr... suddenly investigated what I did in the past. What is your intention? Such caring for the little girl... The little girl is a little flattered. Woolen cloth…"
The smile on his true face did not diminish, and his eyes glanced at Safire's cheek, which was close at hand: "Oh? Although I had to involve you in that transaction before, the situation is different now. I will evaluate the risks and learn more about it. Are you not going too far? Or...do you have some shameful past?"
"So, what are the results of your investigation?" Safire turned away, turned and sat next to Kage, and then clicked his tongue, "You don't even have tea, your shogunate is bankrupt?"
Seeing this, Yae Shenzi felt helpless and called an Okuki member and ordered him to prepare tea and snacks.
Zhen looked at Safire taking his seat, his eyes full of speechlessness: "Even if you are a diplomatic envoy, there is no reason to let gods entertain you..."
"Then you can choose to avoid it." Safire raised his head with a malicious smile on his face.
I sat down opposite her angrily. I knew in my heart that Safire was expressing his dissatisfaction with him, so he said, "Master An Mu is angry? Come on, let me see."
As she said that, she reached out to pinch Safire's nose.
Safire immediately leaned back to avoid: "Get away, I hate you."
"You're such an adult and you still have the temper of a child." Zhen shook his head and sighed, "Okay, I was wrong, okay? I'm sorry? But you've taken advantage of me so much, why don't you let me complain?"
Safire puffed up her cheeks and looked at Zhen with a slight smile on her face. After a few seconds, she seemed to understand that there was no need to vent her anger with this guy, so she said: "I also know what you are thinking. Now this The world situation is not stable. Five hundred years have passed since the disaster in Kanria, and five hundred years have passed since the peaceful days.
