Chapter 813: Right-hand man, hostage to each other

"Hehe! With the Son of God's understanding of General Thunder, he should be able to convince Ying!" Paimon flattered, "If Jiang Yi hadn't told me the truth, I really wouldn't have known that the Son of God was a follower of the Thunder God, a relationship similar to that between Tevarin and Barbatos."

"Haha!" Yae Shenzi shook her head, "Don't you find it strange? As her dependent, I haven't seen her for a long time. Or rather, I no longer see her."

A thought occurred to Ying: could it be the hostility between the Wind Dragon and Barbatos?

Before she could make any wild guesses, she heard Yae Shinko say, "'The eternal kingdom' is a dream she and I share, but I don't think that means complete 'stillness'."

Yae Kamiko looked at the shaking shimenawa, the colliding wooden signs, the rolling dark clouds and the lightning.

"From a certain moment on, she embarked on a path that became increasingly difficult for me to reach. Before Ying stepped into the 'Pure Land of One Heart', she did not say goodbye to me."

She laughed at herself and said, "Maybe it's just wishful thinking. I think this is also what she thinks is the way to keep friendship forever."

"Without saying goodbye or seeing each other again, the relationship between us will remain the same as it was back then, at least that's what she thinks in her heart."

Ying disagrees. She believes that freezing memories and making them never fade away with the passage of time is just a process of change. Memories may become better or fade with the passage of time.

"Perhaps General Lei Dian is the one who is wishful thinking. General Lei Dian is too biased." During the conversation, she got to know General Lei Dian better and couldn't help but express her own opinions.

Yae Shinko walked towards the cliff of Yingxiang Mountain and looked at the western sky, which was filled with strange and bizarre scenes.

In the strong wind, the long pink hair fluttered in the wind, and the ribbon-like skirt of the shrine maiden fluttered. The heavy rain falling on the shrine suddenly disappeared, as if blocked by a barrier.

"Since we have embarked on two completely different eternal paths, I can continue to maintain the status quo, or I can choose to bring her back on track at all costs..."

She seemed to be explaining her determination to Ying, "Now I choose the latter, precisely because... if escaping into the 'Pure Land of One Heart' is her willful pursuit of eternity... then pulling her out of her own world is my practice as the 'Eternal Dependent'."

Paimon looked at Shen Zi, whose expression and temperament seemed different from before: "This feeling is serious. Miss Shen Zi... is indeed a very good friend to General Raiden."

"Ha!" Yae Shenzi crossed his arms and turned around and said, "I only told you this to give you some confidence, so don't get carried away, okay?"

"Now, our chat ends here. You should have other things to do, right?"

Ying and Paimon nodded: "We want Kujo Sara to withdraw..."

They briefly discussed the plan.

"Under such circumstances, is the shogunate still prepared to fight the rebels at Nashiki Beach?" Yae Miko sneered, "Or are the rebels unwilling to retreat?"

"Oh my! I can't see the situation clearly and my blood is boiling."

Paimon said, "I think the shogunate is not afraid because they feel the support of General Raiden, and they worship him blindly, thinking that the sword light of the aftermath will not fall on them. As for the rebels... maybe that person in the shogunate said something too irritating. What does it mean to bow down to the sword made of snake ore? Is your fate the same as bowing down to the snake? What does it mean to be an obedient commoner?"

"Really? It seems that even if this battle is over, the cracks that have appeared will be difficult to repair." Yae Shinto sighed and looked at the sky.

"There are not only external troublemakers, but also internal... stupid humans who are blinded by greed."

"The Eye Hunting Order was issued by someone who took advantage of the fact that the 'Puppet General' was devoted to eternity. Sanbing, his intelligence also confirmed this."

"Before Jiang Yi fled Ming Shen Island, he asked the eldest daughter of the She Bugyo family to contact me in the name of seeing through the secrets of heaven. He looked for evidence that the Tenryo Bugyo was working for the Fatui and that the Kande Bugyo had already betrayed the shogunate."

"But because you rescued the Society Commissioner during the Eye Hunting Order, the Society Commissioner attracted the attention of General Raiden. The other two Commissioners took the opportunity to attack the Society Commissioner and secretly monitor him, so we couldn't act immediately."

Yae Shenzi said, "However, the necessary preparations have been made now."

"I have found a professional to help the eldest daughter of the Society's magistrate find evidence of the crimes of the other two magistrates. You can go to their base in Inazuma Castle and get the evidence directly to convince Kujo Sara."

"Last night, I actually just chatted with Lord Kujo Sara for a while!"

"Hmm?" Paimon was surprised. "Last night?"

"In Himiki Village..." Yae Shinko smiled, "She went to Himiki Village to look for wanted criminals, and I happened to be going to see the Fatui, so we met by coincidence."

"She actually left the army and went to the Himuki Village?" Ying frowned. Fortunately, Kujo Sara still had morality in his heart and did not attack the residents of the Himuki Village.

"Yes! Now as long as you put the evidence in front of her, the guy who escaped will face his heart and the truth." Yae Shenzi said, "She will be our right-hand man."

"A capable assistant?" Paimon was puzzled. According to the plan, apart from letting Kujo Sara retreat, it seemed that Kujo Sara would have no other role to play later.

"Do you think you can get close to the 'Puppet General' by yourself?" Yae Shenzi looked at Ying, "Inciting Kujo Sara to rebel, in addition to dealing with the Tenryo Bugyo, it can also help you get closer to the battlefield in the sky."

"As a capable subordinate of the 'Puppet General', she holds a high position in the heart of the 'Puppet General'. The most loyal subordinate of the Thunder General, the Tengu who is known as the Lightning before Thunder..."

"If you use her, you can relax your timing when approaching the battlefield. Her Tengu speed will allow you to enter the One Heart Pure Land at the most accurate time with Jiang Yi."

Paimeng understood: "That is, we are using the fact that the puppet general will show mercy to her men and sending us up. And we will also make Jiang Yi show mercy, and the two sides will reach a balance."

"It sounds like they are holding each other hostage."

"Oh?" Yae Shinko looked at the little fellow in surprise. Under the guidance of me, a wise and beautiful miko, this little fellow has become smart.

Paimeng suddenly felt that the look in the eyes of the Eightfold Son of God was inexplicably similar to that of Jiang Yi at a certain moment, and was very familiar.

It seemed like every time she made a brilliant remark, she would attract such looks.

"It feels like a gamble!" Ying said. The whole plan seemed full of uncertainty. They were not sure whether Jiang Yi could open General Lei Dian's world of self, whether General Lei Dian would show mercy to them, and whether General Lei Dian would listen to them...

"What's wrong with a gamble?" Yae Shinko said seriously, "'Changing the will of God' is a big gamble in itself. Who can be 100% sure of success in front of God? Now, we have no other choice."

"Okay! It's time for you to leave."

"The thunder in the sky is rising from dull to high."

She looked up at the sky. "I also have to keep an eye on the troublemaker on Narukami Island."
