Chapter 718: The Daughter of the Kanding Commissioner, Intercepting the 'Crystallized Bone Marr

Fanning himself, Jiang Yi walked out of the Kanding Fengxing Office and looked back at its gate.

Three hundred freshly picked pure hearts were an easy task for him, but why did he do it?

It's obvious that this old guy is shameless. It's normal for him to go back on his word when the time comes, and it's also possible that he will continue to find excuses to delay time.

"Just like you said, the other party is indeed stalling for time and doesn't want us to leave." Ying said.

"That's right! We've all been obeyed. It only takes one word for us to leave." Paimon touched his full stomach and cursed angrily, "Hypocritical old man."

"Please stay." As they turned the corner, a Kanjo Bugyo came over and said, "My young lady has a letter for you. Please take a look."

Ying and Paimeng looked puzzled: "Your young lady?"

"Okay, I understand." Jiang Yi took it directly.

The Kanjo Bugyo looked around, saw that no one was paying attention, and left with a sigh of relief.

"Let me see, let me see, what is the letter?" Paimon moved closer.

Yingqiong sniffed and smelled a girl's scent on the letter.

Jiang Yi hooked up with Miss Hiiragi?

The three of them finished reading the letter.

"She said she would bring her retainers and guards, and let us meet her under the moonlight at night." Paimeng finished reading, and crossed his arms, "If it wasn't written that it was you, I would have thought that the young lady admired Jiang Yi and came to deliver a love letter. It's really impossible. The playboy has become notorious."

Jiang Yi frowned, and Ying nodded in agreement.

"Let's climb over the wall and take a look together at night!" Jiang Yi put away the letter.

Wander around the streets of the outlying island until the moon rises.

Three figures returned to the surveyor's office.

A young woman wearing a blue kimono, with her black hair tied in a bun and a virtuous temperament, was already waiting in a remote corridor of the Kanjo Bugyosho.

Suddenly, he saw three figures appear in front of him and was a little scared.

"Ah, you're finally here..." She patted her chest and introduced herself, "I... my name is Chisato Hiiragi."

"It's the first time we meet, please take care of me." Hiiragi Chisato bowed.

Paimon took a look and exclaimed, "She is really the eldest daughter of the Hiiragi family."

"Hello! I'm Jiang Yi."

"I'm Ying."

Jiang Yi and Ying replied with their names.

"I have always admired your deeds, and finally found such an opportunity." Hiiragi Chisato looked at the three people and leaned forward. "This time I secretly met with you, mainly because I was thinking... If I missed the opportunity, would I never be able to tell you again..."

"Talk... talk about what?" Paimon scratched his head.

"Tell me...I want you to help me deliver a letter." Hiiragi Chisato looked expectant.

“……”Ying and Paimon.

"Please speak..." Jiang Yi said with a pleasant expression.

It's really pleasing to see that the daughter of the old man Kanjo Bugyo has other concerns.

Ying and Paimon wanted to turn around and leave, but seeing that Jiang Yi seemed to be fascinated by Hiiragi Chisato and wanted to help, they sighed and stopped, ready to listen.

"I hope you three can deliver a letter for me to Narukami Island, to Mr. Kamajiro, the second young master of Tenryo Bugyo." Hiiragi Chisato lamented.

"My father has always been against our contact. I think he has better expectations for my marriage partner politically, but I only have Mr. Kamajiro in my heart."

"No one on the outlying island can disobey my father's wishes, and you are the rare foreigners who want to go to Ming Shen Island..."

After Jiang Yi and his companions came to survey the area, she secretly overheard the conversation between the three people, as well as their plan to find a servant to apply for a pass.

Ying and Paimeng turned their gaze away from Jiang Yi.

"So there is such a reason..."

That's fine.

"Of course, in contrast, I will do my best to help you leave here, please believe me!" Hiiragi Chisato promised.

"Hmm...it seems like a good deal." Ying nodded.

By acting as a matchmaker between two important figures in the sect, Jiang Yi could both sell favors and achieve his goal. It was a win-win situation, and he felt there was no better solution.

Plus, it’s a good story when lovers finally get married, isn’t it?

"In fact, as long as you are still in Inazuma... Father has no intention of letting you leave the island. A few days ago, I secretly heard father talking with a arrogant woman..." Hiiragi Chisato gave the news, "They seemed to be talking about how to confine foreign travelers to the island. This is the first time I have seen father be so respectful to someone other than the general."

"Thank you for the information." Although Jiang Yi knew about it, he still wanted to thank the woman who took the risk to reveal the information.

"A woman who is arrogant and conceited, a Fatui who fits this description, plus her status makes the Kanjo Bugyo respect her, so she is most likely the executive officer! After all, she is in Mondstadt and Liyue, so it's not surprising that she appears in Inazuma." Paimon was angry.

Just as Jiang Yi said, it was the Fatui and the Kanjo Bugyo who conspired to hold them back. Ying thought to herself, is the other party trying to seek the Heart of God again? But how is this possible? Will the Thunder God agree?

No matter what, they cannot stay on the outlying island as they wish.

Over there, Chisato Hiiragi began to talk about her plan to leave the island.

She got the news that a batch of "crystallized bone marrow" was about to leave the island, and they could take the opportunity to leave.

"I'll wait for you at the checkpoint tomorrow. I'll leave the letter to you." Hiiragi Chisato said a time.

A drop of water dripped from the bamboo tube next to it into the water tank, the moon set and the sun rose.

The foot soldiers on the outlying islands suffered from nightmares caused by the Onmura demon all night.

However, this time the nightmare seemed much less painful and lasted much shorter, and the tax cuts proved to be effective.

Jiang Yi, Ying and Paimeng arrived at the checkpoint on the east side of the island.

Hiiragi Chisato looked at the servants who were transporting the goods and said, "Wait a minute, this batch of goods... is it going to be sent to Kaijima?"

"Miss! How did you get here?" A transporter looked at Chisato Hiiragi in surprise and said respectfully, "You are right. The Kanjo Bugyo-sama specifically instructed that this batch of goods must be delivered to Kaijima in good condition."

Another deliveryman asked, "What do you mean, young lady?"

Hiiragi Chisato lied calmly, "That's right. My father was worried, so he asked the two distinguished guests who were guests yesterday to escort the goods with me."

"Will the eldest lady escort them personally? This, this... we still don't need to trouble you to accompany these two distinguished guests..." The servants looked at Jiang Yi and Ying. These two were indeed distinguished guests, but the head of the family seemed to want to keep them. Why did he change his mind?

"Please don't waste time. I remember my father urged you. You will be punished for being late, right?" Hiiragi Chisato said with her hands on her hips.

"Miss, we understand what you mean, but..." A servant looked hesitant.

Hiiragi Chisato frowned. Although she was a woman, she also became dignified at this moment, showing the arrogance of a young lady.

"Why, you know my father's temper. If my safety is compromised, I don't need to tell you about the punishment you will suffer."

"Are you really 100% sure... that you can protect me?"

Paimon looked at Chisato Hiiragi, whose aura had completely changed and who was fighting hard for love.

Another servant immediately promised: "Okay, Miss, it's a great honor to accompany you... I will protect you at all costs."

Jiang Yi could see hidden admiration in her eyes.

Another servant raised a question, but he was very firm and actively said, "Since it is the young lady's wish, as a subordinate, I should do my best."

The two had some disagreements, but Chisato Hiiragi was already urging them on quickly.

"Alright, alright, let's get going quickly. Are you going to give the thieves a chance to strike by dawdling like this?"

Under the strong and willful eldest lady's request, even those who refused nodded with a sigh.

"Leave the escort to us!" Jiang Yi looked at the sea on both sides of the beach. Blue sea ganoderma was growing there. There were also some low-quality minerals, electric crystals, and plant-like explosives on the beach.

This island is connected to the next one by this beach.

After walking for a distance, the group encountered a monster blocking the road.

The ubiquitous Hilichul Shamans, Hilichul Men, and Hilichul thugs in Teyvat... set off elemental storms, and lit up axes and arrows.

Jiang Yi waved his fan gently, and a strong wind like a tornado blew the monster in front of him into the sea.

"Okay, let's keep going." The servants behind were very shocked, but Jiang Yi was full of leisure.

Facing Hiiragi Chisato's praise and questioning, Ying and Paimon said calmly, "Basic operation."

After walking for a while, they encountered an ambush.

The treasure-stealing group, and the Nobushi group composed of wandering warriors from Inazuma who became bandits.

The nobushi wearing conical hats have tattered clothes, but their swordsmanship should not be underestimated.

Some of them have ominous black auras on their bodies, some use saltpeter powder to attack with fire elements, and some use swords and arrows enchanted with lightning elements...

Jiang Yi and Ying easily defeated the enemy.

But after leaving the island, he saw the endless chaos under Inazuma's heavy pressure.

Monsters and bandits are rampant, and even a well-traveled official road is as dangerous as walking in a bandit's den in the wilderness.

The Kanjo Bugyo located on the outlying islands turned a blind eye to the chaos in this door-like place and did nothing.

The crowd walked and stopped for half a day.

"Let's stop here. Konda Village is ahead."

When the servant with admiring eyes suggested that the young lady go to the village to rest, Hiiragi Chisato agreed without hesitation and bowed to Jiang Yi, Ying and Paimon and said, "Thank you very much, that's the road to Narugami Island... I wrote in the letter that I asked Kamajima to give you the 'pass' for all Inazuma specially approved by the Tenryo Bugyo, as a thank you gift."

"Thank you, Miss Qianli." Jiang Yi raised his hand to express his gratitude.

"Please take care of yourself too." Ying said.

A servant heard their conversation and sighed, "I knew it..."

The other person felt sad, "Miss, who is the Kamajiro you are talking about...?"

Hiiragi Chisato did not hide it: "To be frank... she is my sweetheart."

The servant stood there in a daze.

Watching this little episode, Jiang Yi, Ying and Paimeng remained silent.

If there is no courage in one's heart, not everyone would dare to go against the rules and help the young lady.

"So that's how it is?" Paimon whispered.

This time she was very good at "reading people's expressions".

Hiiragi Chisato pleaded with the servants: "Please pretend that you don't know anything about this matter. If my father blames me, I will bear the responsibility alone."

The two servants had complicated expressions, one for his friend, the other for the heartbreak after hearing the words.

With a sigh, he agreed.

"But Miss Qianli, what if we are really discovered..." Paimon asked with concern.

"It's okay. My father has spoiled me since I was a child. At most, he will punish me by fasting for half a day. Don't worry." Hiiragi Chisato waved his hand and said,

"Besides, there were too many monsters and thieves on the road this time. If it weren't for the two of you, the guards sent by my father wouldn't be able to protect the goods."

"Yeah, thanks to us. And it turns out that old man has this side of him?" Paimon said with a smile.

After talking for a while, it was time to say goodbye.

"Please be careful on your way. We'll meet again someday." Hiiragi Chisato waved goodbye.

"Well, goodbye, Miss Qianli!" Ying replied.

The three of them watched the two servants and Chisato Hiiragi continue to transport the goods. Chisato Hiiragi would go to the Konda Village in front to rest and find another servant to take her back.

In addition, the entire road had just been cleared by Jiang Yi, so there was no need to worry about safety when returning.

"Let's go to Mulou Teahouse." Jiang Yi said.

At the same time, he sent a message to the puppet sword ghost hiding in the distance: "From today on, start paying attention to the roads and intercept the 'crystallized bone marrow' transported by the Kanjo Bugyo."

"During the process, the main focus is to drive away and scare the retired soldiers, and avoid killing them for the time being."

Jiang Yi could predict that the interception would not go smoothly, but he would just grab as much "crystallized bone marrow" as he could.

This thing is a very important material for the Fatui.

Materials used to harm people.
