The golden sunlight of the summer morning delicately shines through the layers of emerald green leaves of the Chinese toon tree in the courtyard, casting mottled light and shadows poetically on the ground, dotted with golden spots.

The breeze blew gently, and the leaves danced in the wind, accompanied by a rustling melody, as if whispering.

Under the swaying shadows of the trees, the Kamisato brother and sister sat quietly, with an exquisite coffee table between them and two cups of fragrant milk tea quietly placed on it, emitting a faint fragrance that was refreshing.

"Brother," Kamisato Ayaka's voice was as gentle as the wind, "Did you go to the summer festival yesterday?"

Kamisato Ayato nodded slightly, with a hint of deep worry in his eyes.

He sighed, his voice carrying a hint of heaviness, "The Summer Festival is much more desolate than in previous years. If it weren't for the dazzling fireworks at the Palace of the Night as an embellishment, I'm afraid it would be hard to even find a hint of festive joy."

A trace of sadness flashed across Kamisato Ayaka's face. Now Inazuma Castle was declining at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A brief silence flowed between the siblings, and then Kamisato Ayaka broke the silence. She asked softly: "Is General Raiden staying in the castle tower all the time?"

Kamisato Ayato replied calmly, "Not long ago, I wrote a letter to her asking her to see the current situation of Inazuma Castle with her own eyes, so that she could understand the real situation of the people. Guess what the result was?"

He showed a bitter and self-deprecating smile, "She actually responded seriously that the people now live a stable life without even a single complaint."

A trace of sadness appeared on Kamisato Ayaka's face.

The god of Inazuma is so stupid!

How could people not complain?

However, those people who dared to speak out were imprisoned by the shogunate on the charge of "violating eternal justice."

Just as she was about to say something, a ninja suddenly appeared in front of Kamisato Ayato. He knelt on one knee and presented a letter with both hands, "Master, this is the latest information from Fude Port."

Kamisato Ayato said in a warm tone: "Shang, you have worked hard."

He took the letter, opened it quickly and read it carefully. The content of the letter lifted his spirits.

"Ayaka, there is good news." Kamisato Ayane said excitedly, "Manyo Kaedehara officially announced the establishment of the Inazuma Revival Society in Fude Port, and they have organized a resistance army."

Upon hearing this, Kamisato Ayaka broke into a bright smile.

This news means that Inazuma's day of change is just around the corner.

........

The atmosphere in the hall of Tianling Fengxing Office was solemn and depressing.

Kujo Takayuki frowned and paced back and forth anxiously in the hall, and every step he took revealed his inner confusion and anxiety.

His retainers stood by trembling with fear and anxiety on their faces, fearing that they would become victims of the storm.

Finally, Kujo Takayuki stopped and cast a sharp gaze at his retainers, "Now, I need your opinions. How should we deal with the newly formed resistance army of Kaedehara Manyo?"

The hall was completely silent, and all the retainers were silent.

They knew very well that the resistance army founded by Maplehara Manye in Port Fude was just the white glove of the Western Factory.

Seeing no one responding, Kujo Takayuki could not help but snorted, "Since you all are silent, I will send all of you to the front line. There, you may find the answer."

As soon as these words were spoken, the retainers were immediately panicked. If they went to the front line, they would become cannon fodder as they usually acted arrogantly.

After a while, a short and fat retainer stood up and cautiously suggested: "Why not negotiate with the Western Factory and use the money and resources of Inagaki to win their favor."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young Kujo Renji immediately scolded him: "Shameless! You are selling out your country for personal gain!"

"Shut up!" Kujo Takayuki interrupted Kujo Lianzhi with a sullen face, "Lianzhi, you should understand that if we can exchange Inazuma's peace and tranquility for a smaller price, it will be the wisest choice."

Kujo Lianzhi did not back down and continued to argue: "We still have brave men like Kujo Sara in our shogunate, and the army she led has always been invincible.

What can the rebel army that Fengyuan Manye has just formed do even if it has the support of the Western Factory?

"Defeat without fighting, how can there be such a ridiculous logic in the world?"

Kujo Takayuki suddenly shouted angrily, "How stupid! How could I have such a stupid son like you! If Kujo Sara is defeated, do you know what that will mean?"

He took a step forward angrily and kicked Kujo Renji to the ground, his eyes full of disappointment and anger, "That means our Kujo family will be completely destroyed! Our enemies will rush over like hungry wolves and tear us apart and eat us!"

Then, he said to the retainer who had just made the suggestion: "Akaishi Kojiro, you will go to negotiate with the Western Merchants on our behalf. As long as their conditions are not excessive, the shogunate may consider accepting them."

Akaashi Kojiro responded respectfully.

At this moment, a servant hurriedly came in from outside and reported to Kujo Takayuki: "Master, Lord Sara wants to see you."

Kujo Takayuki frowned slightly and waved his hand, "Let her in."

The attendant responded and left, and soon, Kujo Sara walked in with steady steps.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw her sworn brother Kujo Renji standing up from the ground in a panic, with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.

Although she didn't know what had just happened, it was obvious that a conflict had occurred between Kujo Renji and Kujo Takayuki.

However, with so many retainers present, she couldn't ask what happened.

She took a deep breath and said in a serious tone: "Father, the behavior of the Eye Hunting Team is getting more and more excessive, and it must be rectified!"

Kujo Takayuki frowned slightly and asked impatiently, "What happened again?"

Kujo Sara replied: "The Eye Hunting Team has now begun to attack innocent civilians. Their reason is simply that those people have contact with the holder of the Eye of God."

Kujo Takayuki seemed unconvinced, "So what? It is wrong to associate with someone who possesses the Eye of God.

Although the Eye Hunters' actions may be a bit extreme, everything they did was to safeguard the general's eternal justice!"

"Eternal justice?" Kujo Sara retorted firmly, "That's just an excuse they made up to cover up their crimes."

This was the first time that Kujo Takayuki was refuted by his adopted daughter, and the anger in his heart was instantly ignited, "I am Tenryo Bugyo, I understand the eternal justice of the general better than you!

You just need to follow the orders, and don’t worry about the rest!"

"Father, I request to see the Shogun and let her make a fair judgment." Kujo Sara said firmly.

Upon hearing this, Kujo Takayuki sneered, "Well, since you insist so much, let's go and let the general make the decision."
