Chapter 364 A Rare Day of Peace
This arrow came extremely abruptly, especially since it was launched after both sides seemed to have already explained the reasons, catching everyone off guard.
The unexpected outcome also included the target of this arrow.
A sound like the tide rose, and a stream of water rolled out from beside the pillar, barely dodging the crackling lightning, and transformed into a handsome young man with orange hair and blue eyes.
This "young master" is not a substitute for a man; this guy is actually a "young master," Tartaglia, whom I haven't seen since our last parting in Liyue.
D'Artagnan scratched the messy hair on her head and laughed, "I knew hiding in the back wouldn't do any good, but with so many people coming in all at once, it just wouldn't be right not to hide."
Kujo Sara, however, showed no intention of responding. In an instant, the bowstring tightened again, and another lightning arrow was about to be fired.
What if this great ATM gets broken?
Seeing this, Xu Ning quickly stepped forward again and stood in front of Kujo Sara's bow and arrow once more.
Kujo Sara narrowed her eyes slightly. "What? Another 'friend but not enemy'?"
"Huh? Hahaha, yes, yes, you're right..."
Kujo Sara's expression remained as calm as ever, but her tone unconsciously carried a hint of sarcasm.
"When did the important figures of Liyue and the Winter Solstice's Enforcer become friends instead of enemies? Could it be that all the information I received before was false?"
Xu Ning chuckled and said, "That's all in the past. You closed your country off for two years, and now the situation outside has changed dramatically!"
Kujo Sara coldly stated, "I don't care what's happening outside, the recent chaos in Inazuma has been investigated and found to be inextricably linked to the Shifu Executor. The Shifu Fools instigated conflict between Umijima Island and the Shogunate, secretly funding the rebellion and splitting Inazuma; they distributed evil eyes, treating the lives of the Inazuma people as worthless; they conducted dangerous activities at Futabasa, and even attacked a garrison point and looted a cannon from Kamui Island..."
Xu Ning silently gave the Shogunate army a thumbs up in his heart, "This is an unexpected surprise."
"...The general has issued a strict order to expel all winter diplomats and to order all winter merchants and travelers operating in Inazuma to leave the country within a specified period. No one may stay. Anyone who stays without cause beyond the deadline will be considered to be breaking the law and may be killed on the spot."
Xu Ning didn't know when General Raiden had given such an order, but based on his understanding of Kujo Sara, she would never lie about anything concerning the general, so this was a serious matter.
If these two were to cause trouble here, not only would I be unable to stand by and watch them make a move, but Kujo Sara might also issue an order to lead a large army to raze the young master and the Onmyōryō together.
After all, this was Inazuma's territory, and Xu Ning had no doubt that she had the ability to do so.
It would be a loss for me whether either the young master or the Yin-Yang Bureau were attacked.
Xu Ning had no choice but to step in and smooth things over, saying, "Look, here's the thing. He can't be considered to have stayed without cause. He came here for... for... You damn well better say something. Are you just going to let me make this up all by myself? You tell me, and if you can't make it up, I'll team up with her to take you down and clear my name."
Xu Ning racked his brains for a long time but couldn't come up with a reasonable excuse, so he turned around and yelled at D'Artagnan, who was watching the show with a smile.
D'Artagnan laughed heartily, "I thought you knew, but to be honest, I did come here with a real purpose: to capture Winter's traitor—the Skirmisher!"
