Chapter 210: Shocking! Big Sister Zhen is the first Raiden Shogun?!
And now, the tool has been positioned; he imagines the people in Inazuma City have already noticed him.
"From here on, I must take it one step at a time."
Just as he was thinking this.
Lumine suddenly remembered something and asked: "By the way, we saw the Raiden Shogun at the Vision Hunt Decree ceremony and found that she looks very much like someone we know. What exactly is going on?"
Luo Li smiled: "You are referring to Zhen, aren't you?"
Lumine nodded.
Heaven knows how shocked they were when they saw the Raiden Shogun, who looked almost exactly like Big Sister Zhen; they nearly couldn't help but run up and shout, "Big Sister Zhen, protect me!"
"Do you remember what I just said?"
Paimon replied subconsciously: "What did you say?"
"Inazuma has had two generations of Raiden Shoguns, Baal and Beelzebul. Unlike the other Seven Archons, they are twin Archon sisters."
Upon hearing this, Lumine and Paimon were completely stunned.
After finishing, Luo Li waited patiently for them to digest the information. Sangonomiya Kokomi, who was nearby, was quite confused as she had never met Raiden Zhen and did not understand why the two were so shocked.
After an unknown amount of time, Lumine gave a start and suddenly realized.
"So, Big Sister Zhen is the first Raiden Shogun, Baal?!"
"You're very slow to react."
"Big Sister Zhen is actually the first Raiden Shogun."
Lumine was somewhat dazed; it turned out that back in Mondstadt, they had already encountered the Raiden Shogun.
The Raiden Shogun was actually by my side?
"The news that the Raiden Shogun is a pair of twin Archon sisters is known to only a handful of people; you had best not spread this information."
Luo Li's instructions were quickly met with nods from the two.
Sangonomiya Kokomi was lost in thought; it seemed that Father's identity was quite extensive if he could know so much.
No wonder he was so confident in agreeing to her request.
Thinking of this, Kokomi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Why Father had this identity was not important; the only thing that mattered was that he had the ability to end this war.
The war itself had started rather like a farce. Because of the Vision Hunt Decree, although the Sakoku Decree was somewhat inconvenient at first, Watatsumi Island had no intention of rebelling.
At worst, it was just a bit troublesome, but once the Vision Hunt Decree was issued, some high-ranking officials and capable generals naturally disagreed.
That was no different from taking their lives.
Thus, the situation reached a stalemate, old hatreds were dug up again, and the issue of religious conflict became increasingly clamorous.
Regarding this, Kokomi always felt something was strange; it seemed someone was fanning the flames and causing trouble.
Originally, the people of Watatsumi Island loathed war. Even with the Vision Hunt Decree, it actually had nothing to do with most of them; they would have just endured it and moved on.
Unfortunately, the soldiers actively started the war, and under such coercion, Kokomi had no choice but to oppose the Vision Hunt Decree.
Moreover, this order was inherently abnormal; depriving the people of their wishes was not something a qualified ruler should do.
Of course, she could not reason with Raiden Ei; the other party seemed not to care about the demands of a small group of people at all, only seeking to achieve the Eternal Kingdom.
"What does Father plan to do next?"
Having learned that the two newcomers were trustworthy, Kokomi naturally did not need to hide anything and immediately asked about his plans.
Luo Li pondered for a moment and said: "If I remember correctly, you mentioned some time ago that there were several batches of unidentified material aid?"
"Yes, the supplies were unsigned; they were sent by several merchants who crossed the sea. At the time, they solved our urgent needs."
Kokomi actually did not want to use supplies of unknown origin, but she had no choice at the time; if it had dragged on, perhaps the army would have collapsed.
The other party had seen this clearly, and their timely help had solved her predicament.
"I once sent people to search for the person behind the scenes, but unfortunately, I gained nothing."
Speaking of this, the young lady felt somewhat ashamed.
She could manage military, political, and civilian affairs in an orderly fashion, but she was powerless when it came to espionage and intelligence gathering.
Fortunately, those hidden figures did not put forward any conditions, only wanting the resistance army to continue the stalemate against the Shogunate army.
Luo Li held his daughter's hand and squeezed it, signaling her not to blame herself: "No one is born knowing everything. If you are not good at something, just learn more about it, and you will surely have strengths in the future."
"Mm, thank you for your understanding, Father."
The young lady leaned against Luo Li, her soft, sweet words expressing her complete attachment to her father.
Lumine and Paimon looked on with question marks, blurting out: "Does Big Sister Zhen know you have a daughter?"
"Of course she doesn't..."
"Uh..."
As expected of you, easily doing things others wouldn't even dare to imagine.
With the first Raiden Shogun as the main wife, he could still go around flirting with women and even raise an illegitimate daughter.
You really are something!
Lumine had to admire his courage and ability.
Finding their respectful gazes amusing, Luo Li shook his head gently.
They did not understand Zhen's personality and thoughts, so naturally, they would misunderstand.
In reality, Zhen did not take his philandering to heart at all; she focused more on maintaining the feelings between everyone and the joy brought by the long passage of time.
Exclusivity stems from limited time, and while an Archon's time cannot be called infinite, it is enough to be shared among a few people over such a long life.
"Never mind me, let's talk about you first. Since you've arrived on Watatsumi Island, I assume you've already been put on the wanted list. If you want to shake off these shackles, go help me do two things first."
Lumine: "..."
Paimon: "..."
This was completely different from what they had imagined just now.
Since you are the Raiden Shogun's brother-in-law, why not just go and persuade the other party to abandon the Vision Hunt Decree?
Surely, for the sake of her sister, she would consider it, right?
The two had wanted to cling to a powerful figure, after all, this guy seemed to be a big shot everywhere.
In Mondstadt, he was brothers with the Anemo Archon, and the Knights of Favonius respected and admired him.
In Liyue, the adepti were respectful, and he chatted and laughed with the Geo Archon.
Who knew that when it came to Inazuma, it would be even more extreme, with the Raiden Shogun becoming his sister-in-law.
Lumine sighed helplessly: "Speak, what is the task this time?"
Luo Li couldn't help but laugh at her pained expression: "It's not a difficult task. Now that the resistance army and the Shogunate army are fighting, to me, the casualties are all my own people—both sides are flesh and blood. So, I'll trouble you to go to the Shogunate side and cause some destruction, keep them busy and flustered so they don't have time to organize a war."
"By the way, I will also have Kokomi issue orders to restrain the resistance army."
Paimon scratched her head and said: "That's it?"
"Otherwise?"
"Fine, I agree!"
Lumine agreed decisively. She had originally thought it would be some complex task, but it was just this?!
