Genshin Impact: What? The one we need to save is Fukaros

In the midsummer of Fude Port, the sun is scorching, and the sunlight spreads on the ground like liquid gold, as if to melt every inch of land into flowing metal.

Kojiro Akaishi, with a bloated figure, walked down the deck of a passenger ship with heavy steps.

His clothes were soaked with sweat, sticking to his skin and emitting an unpleasant smell of sweat.

Two attendants came forward hastily. One of them quickly opened a parasol to shield him from the scorching sun that was mercilessly burning the earth; the other gently waved a palm-leaf fan in his hand, sending wisps of cool breeze in an attempt to dispel the suffocating heat.

Kojiro Akaishi was feeling as restless as the scorching heat.

If it weren't for Kujo Takayuki's strict order, he would still be lying in the cool and quiet bedroom of his home, enjoying the tender service of his concubine.

He walked slowly towards the office building in the center of Port Fude with slightly heavy steps.

Because of his obesity, he had to stop and take a breath from time to time.

A walk that would only take an average person fifteen minutes took him nearly half an hour to complete.

When he finally stood in front of the door of the reception hall of the building, Kojiro Akaishi suddenly felt an inexplicable tension and uneasiness in his heart.

He took a deep breath and walked in with two attendants.

As soon as he entered the room, he immediately felt a cool breeze blowing towards him. The temperature inside was obviously lower than that outside, and a white machine was blowing out cold air continuously, refreshing like a clear spring in the mountains.

He let out a comfortable sigh, as if all the heat and fatigue in his body were taken away by the cool wind.

Then, with a slightly fake smile, he slowly walked to the front desk and said to the receptionist: "Hello, I am the representative of Tenryo Bugyo, Akaishi Kojiro. I am here on the orders of Lord Kujo Takayuki to negotiate with the owner of the Ide Factory."

The receptionist smelled the sweat odor coming from him and couldn't help but frowned slightly. He responded briefly: "Please wait a moment."

He quickly picked up the phone and dialed Lin Yide's number.

The call was quickly connected, and he briefly reported to Lin Yide about Kojiro Akaishi's visit and intentions.

After waiting for a while, he received clear instructions from Lin Yide.

Under Akaishi Kojiro's expectant gaze, the receptionist delivered the news expressionlessly: "The factory owner said that there is no need for peace talks at the moment, so your request is rejected."

Upon hearing the news of the refusal to negotiate, Akaishi Kojiro panicked instantly. He said anxiously: "Please convey to the owner of Ito again that our shogunate is willing to provide money, beauties, and even land, as long as you stop supporting Kaedehara Manye."

The contempt in the receptionist's eyes became even stronger. He said coldly: "Now, either you get out of here, or I'll do it."

As he spoke, he pulled out a cold pistol from his pocket and slammed it on the reception table.

The Western Factory has never been a place where it’s easy to talk!

Kojiro Akaishi was shocked by the scene and hurried away with his two attendants.

After leaving the West Factory office building, he couldn't help cursing wildly. It was not until passers-by gave him strange looks that he realized his loss of composure and quickly shut his mouth.

He did not go back directly, but walked towards the bustling Fontaine Street.

It's not easy to come here, I can't go back empty-handed.

In the next half day, Kojiro Akaishi enthusiastically strolled through the entire Fontaine Street shopping street, selecting and purchasing many of his favorite products.

His two attendants were also very busy, with all kinds of shopping bags hanging all over their bodies.

As night fell, he chose the most luxurious hotel in the area and booked a top-notch room for himself to enjoy luxury and comfort.

His two attendants had to spend the night on the street outside the hotel.

The next morning, Kojiro Akaishi went to Fugui Garden and generously purchased ten properties.

All the funds for purchasing the houses came from the funds that Kujo Takayuki originally gave him to bribe officials from the Western Factory.

After witnessing the prosperity of Port Fude, new ideas emerged in Kojiro Akaishi's mind.

The Inazuma shogunate was already showing signs of decline, and its collapse was an inevitable outcome.

Instead of waiting for death, it is better to plan ahead and prepare a way out for yourself in advance to ensure that you can still live a good life in the future.

In fact, there were many nobles who shared his idea.

Everyone began to use all means to embezzle money and plan for their future.

Kojiro Akaishi stayed in Port Fude for a whole week before reluctantly setting out on his journey home.

Compared to the backward and ignorant Inazuma, he prefers this land where even the air is sweet.

But what he didn't know was that as soon as he left, the Western Factory had confiscated his house.

We can’t ask the Western Factory to pay for the military expenses of the Inazuma rebels!

.................................

After returning to Inazuma, Kojiro Akaishi immediately went to the Tenryo Bugyosho and eagerly requested a meeting with Kujo Takayuki.

Upon learning that Kojiro Akaishi had returned, Kujo Takayuki hurried to meet him.

As soon as they met, Kujo Takayuki asked eagerly: "What was the result of the peace talks? How much compensation did Ito demand?"

Akaishi Kojiro looked solemn, "Master, I'm sorry that Ide rejected my proposal for peace talks."

This news was like a bolt from the blue for Kujo Takayuki.

His face immediately became distorted, and he roared angrily: "How is this possible? We are willing to meet all his demands. Does he really want to push us into a desperate situation?"

Facing the furious Kujo Takayuki, Akaishi Kojiro was panicking, but he still tried to remain calm and said, "Master, please calm down. Actually, there is a chance for a turnaround.

During my stay in Fude Port, I had private contact with some senior officials of the West Factory, and they hinted to me that I could try to bribe Yide privately instead of negotiating openly. "

Kujo Takayuki instantly understood what he meant and secretly cursed himself for being so stupid.

If these compensations are discussed openly, the funds will eventually flow into the pockets of Xichang and will not directly affect Yide's personal interests.

He pondered for a moment, and although he felt a little heartbroken, he still said decisively: "I will give you another 100 million Mora, and you must make sure that you can successfully persuade Ide."

A trace of imperceptible greed flashed in Akaishi Kojiro's eyes, and he replied respectfully: "Please rest assured, Master Kujo, I will do my best to complete this task."

a few days later.

Kojiro Akaishi came to Port Fude again with 100 million Mora, and also brought his family with him.

This time, he didn't even go to the West Factory office building. He directly bought a super luxury house in Fuguiyuan and moved in.

Just when he was about to enjoy the second half of his wonderful life, a young man in red came over with a team of soldiers.
