Chapter 177

They stood one by one perfectly straight, the Qianyan spears in their hands emitting a sharp, cold gleam.

Around them, faint killing intent swirled.

Since the navy was established, Jiang Yan had to occasionally send these soldiers out to sea for drills, slaughtering sea beasts near the waters of Liyue Harbor.

It could be said that the combat power of the Liyue Navy was comparable to that of the army.

This group of Liyue Navy soldiers stood quietly in place; no one moved, and no one spoke a word.

The sharp aura radiating from them made the soldiers of the Tenryou Commission in Inazuma feel somewhat terrified.

Was this really an army established by humans?

One must know that the Tenryou Commission army now was not the rotten-to-the-core Tenryou Commission of later eras.

The Tenryou Commission army at this time was the elite force of Inazuma!

It was just that compared to the army Jiang Yan built using martial arts manuals and modern training methods, it was slightly inferior.

"Alright, disband in place, and go bring down the gifts we brought for Inazuma this time."

Jiang Yan clapped his hands toward the soldiers behind him and spoke loudly.

"Yes!"

The Liyue Navy soldiers slammed their spears to the ground, producing a dull, heavy sound, and shouted in unison.

After all, this was Liyue's visit to Inazuma, and as participants, the soldiers had to display the might of Liyue's military.

However, it was also quite obvious that this move by the Liyue Navy formed a special deterrent against the Inazuma side.

Both Raiden Makoto and Kitsune Saiguu wore Solemn expressions on their faces.

Liyue had just arrived and delivered a warning shot to them!

It was truly somewhat uncomfortable.

And seeing Jiang Yan smile at them, Raiden Makoto also showed a hint of a bitter smile.

"Truly... they come with ill intentions..."

The Liyue Navy and the Tenryou Commission soldiers moved the cargo from the ship together, while Makoto and others led Jiang Yan to Inazuma City.

In an instant, a scene of architecture heavily imbued with Japanese style floated before Jiang Yan's eyes.

Although somewhat similar to Liyue's construction, the houses here were generally lower.

Arriving at the Tenjo Castle, Jiang Yan sat opposite Raiden Makoto and others.

The difference was that Raiden Makoto and others sat in seiza, while Jiang Yan sat cross-legged.

It was not that Jiang Yan did not want to follow local customs.

It was simply that he found it difficult to accept this style of sitting.

However, Raiden Makoto and others did not mind that much.

After all, every country has its own customs, and they could not force others to sit according to their own requirements.

The conversation between Jiang Yan and Raiden Makoto and others went very smoothly.

Actually, it was nothing major.

They simply discussed establishing diplomatic relations between the two nations and some issues regarding mutual trade.

However, regarding Jiang Yan's proposal to use Mora for transactions, Raiden Makoto and others found it quite difficult.

After all, the other matters were beneficial to them, but only this issue regarding the use of Mora was problematic.

Since it concerned a nation's economic issues, Raiden Makoto did not easily give in on this point.

Jiang Yan was not in a hurry; he had only just arrived, and if everything were achieved so easily, there would be no need for him to come.

Although they did not reach an agreement on the transaction, Raiden Makoto and others still warmly hosted Jiang Yan and his party in the evening.

At the banquet, amidst the clinking of cups and exchanging of toasts, a figure with a purple braided ponytail walked over.

.. 0...

"my lord Lei Shen, is there something you need?"

Jiang Yan put down his wine cup and asked with a smile.

"You... come out with me for a moment."

Lei Dianying, her face expressionless, furrowed her brows slightly and spoke softly.

"Hmm... this tone, it is Lei Dianying..."

Jiang Yan looked at her exquisite face with interest and said lightly:

"I wonder what this Young Lady Lei Dianying wishes to speak to me about?"

"You know me?"

Lei Dianying widened her eyes; she remembered she should never have revealed her name.

"Heh, I noticed your existence during our conversation at the Tenjo Castle earlier."

Jiang Yan smiled slightly and spoke calmly.

Since Lei Dianying was a shadow warrior, on the surface of Inazuma, there was only one deity, Raiden Makoto.

And as a twin, Lei Dianying served as Makoto's shadow, fighting battles on the battlefield for her.

"Since you know, then it is easy to handle."

Lei Dianying moved closer to Jiang Yan, and a faint, dark fragrance from Lei Dianying entered Jiang Yan's nose.

Jiang Yan's eyes shifted slightly, but his face remained expressionless as he looked at the other person, waiting for her next words.

"Can you come out with me? After all, this is not the place to speak such things."

Looking at the crowd constantly staring at them, Lei Dianying said with slightly furrowed brows.

"Fine then, I want to see what you have to say."

This time Jiang Yan did not refuse; under everyone's gaze, he rose and walked out with Lei Dianying.
