Chapter 267 Truce
The cherry blossoms are falling, and they are like a pink snow.
Lush and beautiful.
The fluttering petals fell into the pond of Narukami Taisha Shrine, covering the entire water surface.
Although this scene is beautiful, it is a bit troublesome for the witch responsible for cleaning the petals.
There were originally fish in the water, and in his spare time, the palace minister would come over to play with the fat fish in the pond.
But since the last time the executive officer visited the palace lord, these fish were moved to the pond of the castle tower by the palace lord himself.
They also asked the Palace Secretary why they spent so much time doing these thankless things.
After being silent for a long time, Mr. Palace Secretary sighed helplessly.
"I just don't want them to be ruined."
When she realized that she could not calculate the fate of these fishes, she already understood.
If these fish continue to stay here, I'm afraid they will die at the hands of someone.
That's why she made this move.
There were not many people visiting Narukami Taisha Shrine today. Yae Kamiko lay lazily under the eaves, letting the cherry blossom petals fall on his body, and occasionally twitching his ears.
Even if the miko in charge of cleaning came over, she would only raise her leg to let him clean it symbolically.
Too lazy to move at all.
In front of her were sake and fried tofu.
There was also a scrawled letter.
Maybe some cherry blossom petals will fall into the wine, but this will also add some of the unique fragrance of petals to the wine.
"I see. Do you want an extra set of insurance?"
The fried tofu went into his throat, and a satisfied smile appeared on Yae Shenzi's face.
But more than these, she cared more about the meaning conveyed by Bai Luo on the letter paper.
In order to make Kujo Takayuki retreat, Shiro not only planned to make his identity as an executive officer shine, but also conveyed his intentions to Yae Shenzi.
If Shiro's order, Kujo Takayuki would refuse on the grounds that it would be difficult for the General to do the job, then with Yae Shenzi joining, Kujo Takayuki would no longer want to call a truce.
"Maki."
"Lord Palace Secretary."
The witch came in response and bowed humbly.
It is in sharp contrast to the lazy Yae Shenzi.
"Take care of the big house, I have to go out."
"yes."
...
Today, a big event happened in Inazuma's political circles.
First, the envoy of the Solstice Kingdom, the twelfth executive from the Fools, personally visited the Kujo family who was worshiped by Tian Ling.
The instructor and Kujo Takayuki, the head of the Kujo family, talked secretly in the study for half a day, and I don’t know what they said.
Not long after the instructor left, the chief minister of Narukami Taisha Shrine also came to visit in person.
In fact, compared with the visit from the Palace Secretary later, as one of the three observances, Kaanding ensuing is more concerned about the instructor's visit.
Because the instructor also visited She Fengxing before visiting Tianling Fengxing.
If he guessed correctly, they should be the next ones to decide and implement it.
In order to welcome the instructor who might arrive, Shinsuke Hiiragi, who was determined to follow the Hiiragi family, temporarily put aside all his affairs, bathed and burned incense at home, and waited for the instructor's greeting.
Who would have thought that after seven days, all the incense at home was burned out, and a layer of skin was almost peeled off after bathing, but the instructor had no intention of coming.
Unwilling to be reconciled, Shinsuke Hiiragi specially sent people to Inazuma Castle, hoping to find out what the instructor said.
Unexpectedly, I learned that the instructor had "disappeared" again a few days ago.
After hearing the news, Shinsuke Hiiragi became depressed and almost fell ill.
After hearing about this incident, various Daozhu families probably had their own guesses in their minds.
Many small families that were originally attached to the Hiiragi family have begun to distance themselves from their relationship with the Hiiragi family, and are trying to rely on Tianling worship and social worship.
Except for the family whose roots are still on the outlying island, the other families have basically separated from the Hiiragi family, and the determination and execution was actually severely damaged by this incident.
Bai Luo never imagined that his small move would actually cause a storm in Daozuma's political circles, and also greatly reduce the strength of one of the three Fengxings.
But...even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care too much.
After all, not everyone has the leisure to worry about whether he or she tramples on ants when he steps down.
Other than that, it is the arrangement of the Kujo Jinya.
Because of Kujo Sora's intervention, the two sides who originally had a truce have fought dozens of large and small battles at Nashi Nada.
At the beginning, under the leadership of General Tengu of the shogunate army, the resistance army was extremely embarrassed.
If General Wulang had not led the troops well, I am afraid that the rebels would have been completely wiped out by Jiu Jiao Suluo in Wu Xiang Ren Gorge.
However, as a large amount of supplies suddenly arrived from Haiji Island, the rebels who had been retreating steadily regained their strength, and the positions they had lost were recovered one by one.
In recent days, small-scale frictions have occurred several times, and Kujo Sora is ready for a large-scale decisive battle.
But at this moment, Kujo Takayuki's secret message came over.
"Five days of truce?"
Looking at the secret letter from the Patriarch, if the person who sent the letter was not a close confidant of the Kujo family and the handwriting was correct, Kujo Sora would have thought that someone was pretending to be the Patriarch to deceive her.
She knows better than anyone how much the family head wants to get rid of these rebels.
How could such an order be issued at this juncture?
"Due to the problem of the Tatar Sand Mikage Furnace, coupled with the influence of the evil spirit, there are some problems with the Thunder Sakura Tree in Kannazuka. Mr. Yaegomiya needs to send a shrine maiden to investigate and exorcise the Thunder Sakura Tree. If
If we start a war with the rebels under such circumstances, the Palace Secretary is worried that the witches will be attacked by the rebels."
"..."
For Inazuma, the sacred cherry tree is a symbol of Narukami-sama's power. Narukami-sama is always there, and the sacred cherry blossoms will always be lush and beautiful.
The Thunder Sakura tree growing in Kannazuka has the same origin as the Sacred Sakura Tree.
They also possess powers similar to those of the sacred cherry trees.
Therefore, Kujo Sora also understands that if this is the case... this battle will indeed be temporarily suspended for a few days.
To attack a shrine maiden is a very disrespectful thing in Inazuma, and not many people would dare to do it.
However, the resistance army was already very dissatisfied with Narukami-sama's act of issuing the Eye Hunt Order at this time. It is hard to say whether they would still care about the identity of the witches of Narukami Taisha Shrine at this time.
In this case, it is indeed necessary to make a temporary truce and let the witches solve the problem of Thunder Sakura Tree.
But the shogunate army is willing to stop, but what about the rebels?
If they knew about Lei Yingshu, would they take the opportunity to cause trouble?
"I understand. I will let the military retreat to the sand for the time being, and assist the witches in the purification work."
Compared with the existing fighters, in Kujo Sora's mind, the thunder cherry tree related to the shogun is more important.
As long as she defends Kannazuka's territory, since she was able to fight through it before, she can still regain the lost position in the future!
