Genshin Impact: The Great Evil Dragon’s Death System

Chapter 1182 The Surviving Hiiragi Family Patriarch

"Master Masahito, please let us go. We will all die if we stay like this."

An exiled official who had some connection with the Kujo family made a request to Kujo Masahito.

Kujo Masahito voluntarily requested to open up wasteland on Seiraijima, and the shogunate granted him the title of Seiraijima Daijokan, which means governor of an island.

According to the official system of the shogunate, this position should be held by Shinsuke Hiiragi, the head of the Hiiragi family.

But Hiiragi Shinsuke was a criminal official. He and Kujo Takayuki were both the promoters of the Eye Hunting Order and the Seclusion Order. The resistance army's Heavenly Punishment of Traitors targeted these two treacherous officials.

Ying didn't chop off the two men's heads out of consideration for their old friendship, but simply exiled them to Qinglai Island.

In fact, Ying knew that the biggest disaster was her misunderstanding of eternity, and that Hiiragi Shinsuke and Kujo Takayuki had contributed far less to the chaos than she did.

In principle, the Kage, as the culprit, should commit suicide by seppuku, but she sticks to her principles.

Therefore, in accordance with the usual practice of the officialdom, the main driving force behind the incident, General Raiden, was removed, and the focus of responsibility was placed on the two left and right ministers of the shogunate, Hiiragi Shinsuke and Kujo Takayuki.

Kujo Takayuki was a man of strong character. When he realized that he had done something wrong, he chose to commit suicide by seppuku in order to defend his dignity as a samurai.

Shinsuke Hiiragi can't do it.

He watched silently as everyone forced Kujo Masahito to abdicate. He did not have the same temperament as Kujo Takayuki, so he could only choose to continue to live.

Shinsuke Hiiragi has lost all hope in life and just wants to continue to survive. Because of Jing Fantian's immortal leaf, Shinsuke Hiiragi has a second spring and he can live for a long time.

But now they have lost their previous wealth and luxury, and life in Yueshi Village is hard and people are getting old.

Everyone has wanted to escape from Yueshi Village and leave Qinglai Island for a long time.

They were all victims of the shogunate's coup and were lucky not to be sunk into the sea.

But who could stand up in such a chaotic situation as the shogunate? Only the Kamisato family was able to protect itself, and even made it to a higher level.

But they did it because of Jing Fantian.

Hiiragi Shinsuke only now understood that the game of power was a game for big men. As the left and right ministers of the shogunate, he should have been the chess player, but he did not expect that he was also a chess piece.

The people who can decide Inazuma's future are big figures like General Raiden and Jing Fantian.

If Hiiragi Shinsuke had known this would happen, he should have forced Hiiragi Chisato to marry Jing Fantian, even as a concubine.

However, the Hiiragi family was not in a completely bad situation. His daughter was pardoned and sent to the shogunate, where she was highly valued by the shogun.

It seems that the general still likes to use family background. How can Liyue's approach work in Inazuma?

Shinsuke Hiiragi had to admit that Kujo Takayuki's education was successful. He was very envious of the fact that the Kujo family had such a talented child like Kujo Sara.

Although Kujo Kamajima was a civil servant, he was quite capable and was recognized by the Shogun.

Although Kujo Masahito was not as good as his sister Kujo Sara as a military general, he was also a great general in the shogunate army. He was upright and did things in a disciplined manner.

These days, Kujo Masahiro has personally reclaimed a large piece of wasteland in Yueishi Village.

The most important thing is to suppress these exiled officials severely so that they dare not have any evil thoughts.

The exiled officials were originally wealthy nobles in Inazuma City, where they ate delicacies from land and sea and played with beautiful prostitutes and musicians.

They were not exiled to Qinglai Island voluntarily, but were brought here by Kujo Masahito and his soldiers.

I always want to escape from the hard days of reclaiming farmland on Qinglai Island.

However, if there is any sign of this, Kujo Masahito will discover it and then whip them severely to teach these guys a lesson.

The exiled officials here can only hope that the shogun of the shogunate will grant amnesty and release them, or preferably reinstate them to their original positions.

Kujo Masahiro rejected the proposal of these people: "No, no one here can leave before the shogunate gives an order."

Someone looked a little unhappy: "Master Zhengren, if the Thunderbird really escapes the seal, do we still have to stay here?"

"..."

Kujo Masahiro was silent for a moment. At this moment, Qinglai Island was like a prison that was about to be burned down by fire. As the warden of the prison, he could not ignore human feelings and fail to open the prison door, allowing the prisoners to burn to death.

But Kujo Masahiro is such a person: "Yes, even if Leiyin Quanxian breaks the seal, we can't leave Heguan."

"what?!"

This is Kujo Masahito, a law-abiding man, and his loyalty to Shogun Raiden is no less than that of Kujo Sara.

For him, loyalty to the general should take precedence over his own life.

As for the possibility that everyone will die, there is nothing we can do about it. These people are incompetent at anything anyway and are the number one drag. It would be a waste of food to let them go.

"I have ordered my subordinates to build an underground shelter. The elderly, women, children, and the disabled can go in. The rest of you should follow me to Amanome Pass."

"We are not only here to open up Qinglai Island, but also to protect the seal here."

"Thunderbird wanted to break the seal, so he asked me first."

After Kujo Masahito said this, no one knew what to say.

If everyone wants to escape from Qinglai Island, they cannot do it without a big ship. Moreover, the thunderstorm is getting more and more severe, and the sea may be more dangerous than the island.

As for calling on this group of people to fight the Thunderbirds, that's a bit difficult.

However, the weak ones in the family can get some protection, and overall there is some comfort.

Kujo Masahito is stubborn, but he does not regard human life as worthless.

Shinsuke Hiiragi was in a bit of a dilemma. He was an old man, but he gained youth after eating the longevity leaves. Although he had lived through a hard time and was a bit old, he still looked like a strong man in his forties or fifties.

He didn't want to follow Kujo Masahito to his death. Could a human deal with a monster like the Thunderbird?

However, as the head of the Hiiragi family and with the body of a middle-aged man, it would be somewhat detrimental to the family tradition if he pretended to be an old man and hid away.

Kujo Masahito did not give these people a chance to object. He asked his subordinates to distribute weapons to everyone, and then left two samurai to take care of the elderly, the weak and the sick, and took a group of people to deal with the thunderbird that was about to break the seal.

Hiiragi Shinsuke didn't care anymore. He had already lost all his face in front of the general. He just decided to just say that he was the boss and that his fate was in his own hands.

He refused the weapon handed out by Kujo Masahito and walked towards the children's table.

Kujo Masahito just watched without saying anything unpleasant, nor did he make excessive demands on the poor guy.

When he did not commit seppuku in front of the Shogun, Shinsuke Hiiragi's courage was completely gone. Now all that exists is a walking corpse named Shinsuke Hiiragi.

A serious voice sounded beside Hiiragi Shinsuke: "The shogunate has supported the Hiiragi family for 500 years. As the head of the Hiiragi family of this generation, is this how you repay the shogunate?"

Everyone looked towards the person who spoke.

He wore a black and gold shoulder armor on his left shoulder, and a purple waist rope was tied with an ornament with the pattern of the Three Thunder Tomoe, with two strings of tassels, one gold and one purple, hanging naturally.

It was the Raiden Shogun who had supreme authority in the shogunate.

"Sir General!!"
