Genshin, but the real world

Chapter 148 147-There is no reward if you can receive it but don’t recognize it

Kujo Takayuki did not feel happy.

After the country was locked down, it was actually difficult to investigate matters other than Rice Wife.

Why is Ying still able to enter the vision of Yae Kamiko and the family? Because the things she did are epic enough to become sung stories.

With this kind of popularity, as long as the information can still be passed on, it will definitely have its share.

But Jiang Qing does not have such a reputation.

The only people in the Seven Kingdoms who are really willing to invest heavily in investigating him are probably the Fools.

However, Kujo Takayuki was not clear about things other than Inazuma, but he could still investigate some things.

For example, Jiang Qing was born in the resistance army.

A person who holds a high position within the resistance army, comes to the castle tower and is authorized by the general to do things, his first thought is to cooperate with his enemies.

But this kind of thing makes no sense.

But she took the initiative to start a war and was captured alive, which directly led to the current situation.

He stood up and said softly: "The Eye Hunting Order needs to face a group of people with the eyes of gods. Ordinary soldiers will inevitably suffer some losses when dealing with them, which is a waste."

They are unlikely to harm the powerful people of Inazuma, and can only steal supplies from ordinary people to supply their own survival supplies.

One person's success, of course, requires another person's failure as a stepping stone.

Because he was the one who made sacrifices and paid the price.

You want to prove your loyalty, so why don't you just let me kill you?

His success was a matter of course, so he did not take Fuzhong and Haiji Island seriously at that time.

"The general is very concerned about this matter."

If it weren't for the Resistance thing, the Eye Hunting Order would indeed be over.

Even if the head of the Kujo family, who is destined to be in a high position by birth, makes a wrong step, he should endure humiliation and surrender, but he will still have to be a slave.

The key is that he can fight better than him.

That's all.

"The purpose is to eliminate dissidents."

Aren’t dead people less likely to betray me?

Probably, this sincerity is the death of me.

Kujo Sora, who had remained silent all this time, rolled his eyes.

Inazuma is a place that is too uneventful for the Kujo family.

If you can seek benefits from it and achieve the achievements you seek from wealth and wealth, then this is really your own ability.

"The hatred between Haizhi Islander and you." Jiang Qing said, "The war brought trouble to both sides, and we won."

It is normal for him to need someone he can trust to help him.

At first, I was impressed by the new plan of the Fools, but I gave up my initial plan to kill the opponent. Later, I thought about kicking the Fools out, and stabbed the Fools in the front and back, but I didn't have time to deal with the rebels properly.

A person can swear an oath, but it may not necessarily mean that he really has a clear conscience. It may just be that the price of being honest is a bit high, so he can only be tough.

Because if Jiang Qing supports him, he can really replace the Kujo family.

As the losing party, he cannot refuse this fair reciprocal transaction.

Kujo Takayuki didn't notice before, but he was very busy when the storm was about to fall.

"That's really good news." Jiang Qing smiled, "By the way, although Tianling Shixing is in charge of military affairs, the Eye Hunting Order is the general's focus after all. You probably won't be able to spare time to solve another problem.

.”

This is really...

"Sura, don't you understand the true face of this person?" Kujo Takayuki wanted to win over Kujo Sara.

This sincerity can be received or not rewarded by the nine principles of filial piety.

And more often than not, it's actually just sending you as a target to block it.

Now I have a sharp eye and can catch you!

This logical chain sounds outrageous, but it has proven its status several times in history.

I chose Jiang Qing. After all, he is from Liyue. I have never offended him. I am too late to do anything, but I can do a little more later to wash away this problem.

At this time, the ability of the Takaji family was wrong in Kujo Takayuki's opinion.

After the conversation was exposed, Ying Sijin would soon become restless, and then he would take the initiative to ask for a chance.

And if others force you to take risks, it is not kindness, it is using people as cannon fodder, it is hatred, so remember.

Jin Takaji knows Kujo Takayuki very well.

Kujo Sora's voice was a bit nervous: "I shouldn't say anything about fighting for greater benefits for the Kujo family, but it is not appropriate to do so at the expense of Inama's interests."

What makes most people believe even more is that you have no ability to resist.

General, Sanfengxing will all approve of his handling method.

He was able to find many reasons for Jiang Qing, but there was no excuse to regard Jiang Qing as a saint who could forget grudges with a smile.

So you have to die.

Jiang Qing smiled warmly: "The General hopes that we will carry out the Eye Hunting Order to the end, and then completely wipe out the wandering warriors everywhere in Inazuma."

He is a man who has no moral bottom line.

It had nothing to do with the outcome, and Jiang Qing didn't care, but Kujo Takayuki found a pretty good reason and felt that he could die.

No matter how Kujo Takayuki reflected on it, he didn't feel that his original plan was wrong.

It is not reassuring to prove that you have no intention of resisting.

Reflecting on the results, it turns out that the fools intercepted the intelligence, and the chaos caused by internal disagreements on the front line was a little too serious.

There is no point in trying to reason with a boss who is capable of killing someone at any time.

I hope that my child will be foolish and reckless, and that he will be able to come to the palace without any trouble.

reluctantly?

If this were the case, the most difficult moment in his life would probably be the moment after he was born.

It really needs to be cleaned up.

Kujo Takayuki's voice was stern: "If you hadn't chosen war on the front line, if you had just delayed it a little, I wouldn't be in this situation today!"

He only did one thing wrong. When it was time to kill the rebels, he still thought of seeking greater benefits.

This is the biggest mistake.

"That's pretty good." Jiang Qing tapped her fingers lightly on the table.

The deputy doesn't want to cooperate, and the third brother doesn't want to replace the deputy. It's really difficult for him to find a fourth child temporarily.

Greed finally brought backlash, forcing him to fall into this situation.

"If he mentions Takashi Susumu to me, this matter will definitely spread." Takayuki Kujo looked solemn, "But he will never go to find Takashi Susumu."

The old guy won't take a stand where he should.

"The general's will is everything in this country!"

If it were another person, Kujo Takayuki would definitely bite him to death for his innocence.

Jiang Qing will protect the power that his Tian Ling pursues, and if he wants to keep his power, he has to do something.

There is no need to admit this kind of thing.

The failure of Kujo Takayuki was the reason why Jiang Qing came to power.

As for why they face the only island in the sea... then you ask them? What does it have to do with me?

Kujo Takayuki was not very angry about being deprived of his military power, and even breathed a sigh of relief.

The nine principles of filial piety are just arrogance, but not stupidity.

Then it cracked.

Jiang Qing and Kujo Takayuki mentioned that the Takaji family could do something instead of the Kujo family.

If he was really grateful for this kind of help, then Jiang Qing could only reluctantly accept the other party's gratitude.

Jiang Qing doesn't know how to listen, let alone believe it.

After all, brothers are blood relatives, so they are much more reliable.

You see, the main purpose is to allow Coral Palace to meet the general. As for the appointment of the shogunate, this is incidental.

Jiang Qing stood up and said goodbye.

He already knew that Jiang Qing gained General Thunder's trust because the general needed him to do something.

But Kujo's filial piety is just a pity.

Kujo Takayuki taught himself two lessons, and he returned one lesson to him, which is considered reciprocity.

Incompetence is the last thing a general can tolerate.

Jiang Qing waited for a while and found that Kujo Takayuki did not have any unnecessary reaction.

"Lord Kujo, don't you force yourself?" Jiang Qing asked with a smile.

If you surrender and let me kill you, I can express my condolences. It was my fault, and you are really a loyal minister.

Later, the reason why Kujo Kamaji came to power was because of the huge changes.

Jiang Qing was not surprised and skipped the question about sincerity.

At this time, the ability of the Takashi family is the political achievement of his master, and it is also the embodiment of his outstanding ability.

There is no choice without paying a price, and the price of losing is so cruel.

Kujo Takayuki couldn't directly say that he was innocent, but he would never admit it, so he just remained silent.

And this period of time is the time Jiang Qing wants.

That's the deal. You can be dissatisfied, but since you've accepted it, at least you have to get it done.

He did not regret his choice that day, nor did he regret making the rebels a target.

If Kujo Takayuki refused to admit it, then it was because the samurai of the shogunate were not good enough and they failed to catch these wanted people in time.

Contradictions are contradictions, Kujo Sora is indeed the top talent within the shogunate.

If the delay continues, the final winner will still be Jiang Qing.

"As for the Takaji family, I'll be responsible for notifying them."

If you think about it from the perspective of black and white gloves, if you can't protect some wandering samurai, it is very likely that they are the pawns of Inazuma's powerful people.

He will probably raise chips and plan to make a last-ditch effort or do something else?

In the end, both sides joined forces to counterattack, and had to surrender to others to save themselves and their family.

"I don't know much about the Eye Hunting Order, so it's really inconvenient for me to intervene rashly." Jiang Qing thought for a while, "If Lord Kujo doesn't mind, how about leaving this matter to Lord Kujo?"

If everything goes well, even if Kujo Sora discovers his methods, Kujo Takayuki can claim to have a clear conscience and everything is for the benefit of the family.

Now he knows about Takaji Jin, and Takaji Jin also knows about Kujo Takayuki.

If there were no major changes in Kujo Takayuki's generation, his life trajectory would probably be that he was born in the Kujo family, the eldest son of the head of the family, became the head of the family, and accepted the power and position of Tian Ling.

"I will deal with the situation on Kaiji Island. Coral palace Xinhai has also admired the glory of the general for a long time. I want to summon her to Inazuma Castle to meet the general and serve in the shogunate."

It is useless to just take off your armor and weapons to prove your loyalty and harmlessness.

"Then I'll take the first step."

I am the leader of the heavenly profession. If you say that the war on the front line has something to do with me, of course it is.

Kujo Takayuki's reputation makes it difficult for anyone to trust him.

What does this mean?

If others take the initiative to give in when they win, but if you lose and still don't understand, that's your problem.

It's amazing, everyone is cooperating.

As for what he said about forcing rebels against Haizhi Island and raising the bandits to respect themselves, it is impossible for him to admit whether he has done it or not.

What should we say about wandering warriors... If a group can survive without producing, it means that they plundered or traded production materials from other places.

After all, he did bring greater power and wealth to the Kujo family - if Ying hadn't defeated Raikage head-on, and Kage had changed the general's choice.

You help me with things, and I'll give you a chance to survive and retain power.

He didn't feel that he was wrong, he just felt that he had lost.

The war has nothing to do with me, what kind of heavenly leader should I follow?

If you live, you still have a chance to make a comeback. If you fall out at this time, apart from showing your own irrationality, your death will be completely worthless.

Paratroopers also need to have confidants, either bringing one themselves or choosing one from a group of unfamiliar people.

"I will give him the authority to eliminate the wandering samurai within Inazuma."

It is necessary to gather things together, especially at this critical moment when the Kujo family is in turmoil.

Sanfengxing is the three princes of Daozhu.

You can kill me over this matter, but I will never admit that I have done it.

He made a choice between two worlds, and then encountered two accidents, but the results were surprisingly the same.

If this was the case, Jiang Qing would of course have to come forward to accept the other party's gratitude and let the other party know that she had helped him rise to the top.

He is really capable of being this target.

At this time, if Jiang Qing plays dirty tricks, he will only lose points in the eyes of the general.

The world is innocent, only life and death.

Ah, this, well, I can’t see any commotion.

Kujo Kamaharu is the person who changed the status quo of the Kujo family, so he is certainly qualified to be in charge.

He forcibly gives you an opportunity where death is greater than gain. You seize the opportunity and bring benefits to both parties.

But in this matter, Takaji Jin could certainly see that Jiang Qing only supported him to go up to the ring with Kujo Takayuki.

Just like the Iwazo legend I met at the door before.

For the benefit of the family... The family is currently in a precarious situation, and he has to bear more than half of the responsibility.

Now he can indeed choose Kutiao Xiaoxing and betray Jiang Qing.

In this choice, Jiang Qing did not kill him for the general's hunting order, which already gave him a natural advantage.

Kujo Kamaji has no chance in this life. If his good brother is willing to take care of him, he can still be a powerful person in Inazuma.

But there is no need to be grateful to the person who pushed him, because the other person can seek greater benefits from this matter.

If he had to say where he went wrong, it was definitely not launching a war against Haizhi Island.

Jiang Qing didn't quite know what Kujo Takayuki was thinking, but it didn't matter. As long as Kujo Takayuki didn't feel that he was irreplaceable, he would understand the cruelty of fate.

Kujo Takayuki will probably use this time to arrange some things to compete with Takaji Jin for power and delay Takaji Jin's rise to power.

The real successor joined the Okuki clan and worked for the shogunate.

Of course, if it was worse, he might have become depressed halfway through, and then committed suicide with six arrows in the back.

If I want to be loyal, it has to be you.

One thing is another thing.

He holds a real famous sword of the school, and is probably the real Iwazo disciple.

What Jiang Qing said was that I wanted to think that it sounded like a discussion, but in fact it was just a notification.

Of course he was reluctant.

It doesn't matter anymore.

"Narukami, General!"

The eldest son is usually the first to receive the political capital of his father's generation. As long as his performance is decent, he will have won over all his younger brothers in terms of age alone.

This is not simply a benefit to others.

I lost, but I don't accept it. I just think you are just lucky.

Takashi Jin chose with his knees, and he also knew that Jiang Qing was more suitable than Kujo Takayuki.

But it seems that that’s not what people think at all.

Joining the Kujo family is already a VIP in the world of reincarnation. Joining the Kujo family and being the eldest son makes this person even more important.

Taking Kujo Kamaharu's rise to power as an example, if not for subsequent changes, Kujo Takayuki had actually chosen his successor, his eldest son.

This was the first time that someone stepped on his face and asked, "Don't you force yourself to do this?"

"By the way," Jiang Qing suddenly remembered something, "Well, Inazuma won't have a second Haizhi Island, right?"

"I don't know..." Kujo Takayuki just wanted to face off, but found that he didn't even know the opponent's name.

"Master of the family." Kujo Sora said in a serious voice, "What you cannot admit to Jiang Qing, can you give me an answer?"

Incompetent and ignorant, he hindered the general's plan. No matter how Jiang Qing dealt with him, the general would not think it was too much.

There is indeed a war on the front line, but this is just the internal affairs that Tianling should perform.

Kujo Takayuki was the emperor's noble nobleman of Inazuma, and he was born to rule the country of Inazuma.

Kujo Sora was a little surprised, but did not speak.

He forces others to cooperate but cannot solve the problem. This is incompetence.

If she cowers on defense, even if there is internal disagreement, there will always be no problem in stabilizing the situation.

Kujo Sora's eyes became colder and colder.

This answer was completely within Kujo Sanluo's expectation. She didn't think Jiang Qing would really let go of his hatred.

No, when did this person contact the agency?

Jiang Qing chose to bring one herself.

Your immediate boss feels that your ability threatens his status. Even if Takaji Jin knew that Jiang Qing had brought up this matter, he would definitely choose Jiang Qing instead of expressing his loyalty to Kujo Takayuki.

"If you proactively approach me and give me this opportunity, there is no way Ying Sijin will accept this kindness."

But Dao Wife is different. Dao Wife is really in this kind of environment.

"He will definitely not go to Takashi Jin."

There is no evidence for this kind of thing, unless Kujo Takayuki explicitly tells certain people what you are going to do and drives them to Kaiji Island.

It's over now, but I have a big daddy standing over me.

If you don't hold a grudge, you can't take it as a favor.

Ying Sijin had to choose Jiang Qing because he did one thing wrong.

This kind of thing really has no existence value.

If a person is stupid and dull, but can sit all the way to the position of the Three Gongs and Nine Ministers, this person is either very wise and foolish, or the country is already sick.

Either you can really rebel against him and let him know, well, you doubt me, right? Then I am really planning to be your father.

"Because the communication with Kaiji Island was incomplete, an unnecessary fight was triggered." Takayuki Kujo said in a low voice, "The shogunate cannot make two mistakes."

"I wonder what Mr. Jiang Qing's sincerity is?" Kujo Takayuki looked serious.

Kujo Takayuki cannot have too many positive emotions.

Shangfeng doubted the loyalty of his subordinates, so it was useless to just take off his armor and claim to be innocent.

Even if he chooses a pig, he will not trust Kujo Takayuki's words.

It is impossible for Ying Sijin to think that Jiang Qing pushed him to the position because he was optimistic about his ability to succeed, and then felt grateful to Jiang Qing, thinking that these were his reborn parents - he is not that stupid, right?

Jiang Qing didn't care what the Yingsi family thought, he just needed some time to do his own thing.

"It's better to temporarily hand over the military power to Takashi Shin. It's reasonable for ordinary shogunate samurai to deal with bandits composed of ordinary people."

This is a deal.

For most people, this is just a parent's expectation for their children.

But Jiang Qing came here to discuss cooperation with him, so Kujo Takayuki was not a pity.

The old man's face was gloomy: "He wants to win the general's trust. As long as he has the general's approval, killing is nothing. With supreme power, there is no need for a reason to kill."

"Two of the three pursuits are taken at the same time. It would be more appropriate if you can recruit the determination and implementation."

Kujo Takayuki felt a little regretful.

The other party has the possibility of threatening its own power.

But now Jiang Qing has greater power, and Jiang Qing is obviously hostile to him.

As long as he does it in a slightly concealed manner, it is impossible to obtain visual evidence to prove that he has done such a thing.

To force the other party to give up cooperation is not just incompetence.

"He just understands the rules of this country very well."

A dead man cannot argue.

As soon as this sentence spreads, Ying Sijin will immediately understand that just by the word "replacement", he has already "taken death in a right way".

Kujo Sora did not leave.

After completing the same task, the general will only think that Jiang Qing is more capable than Kujo Takayuki in the end.

The core of the whole matter, the reason why Jiang Qing mentioned Takashi Jin was not because the other party did nothing and just wanted to wait for the harvest in Inazuma City.

This means that the general is also observing Jiang Qing's actions.

"Jiang Qing." Kujo Sanra reminded.

No matter how Kujo Takayuki reflected on it, he just felt that this was where he lost.

Magical powers are not as good as destiny, and life is not as good as reincarnation. This is the truth.

"Good brother, it's time to do something."

If Kage hadn't thought he was brave and gave the Kujo family a second chance, the history of the Kujo family would have ended here.

There seems to be no competition for the position of key family head.

What she asked about was not the future, but the past.

If Jiang Qing is really arrogant and domineering, Kujo Takayuki will only regret that he lost to such a person.

But if you resist - then I'm right, you just have evil intentions, but you just haven't exposed them before.

She was also worried about Kujo Takayuki's death. She felt that the head of the family had done something wrong, and she was worried that he was really dead.

Kujo Takayuki lowered his head slightly, "It should be so."

"Shenluo, do you want to teach me how to do things?"

He was very wary of such a person.

The head of the Kujo family can really go to the palace without any trouble.

This is not a moral issue.

"No, no, no, Tianling Shouxing should be responsible for the most important things." Jiang Qing waved his hand in a leisurely manner, "I have already contacted Sheshouxing, and Kujo Sura and Sheshouxing will cooperate with you to solve the problem of the Eye Hunting Order."

Of course Jiang Qing will not go to Ying Sijin.

"Do you really think he will let the Kujo family go?" Kujo Takayuki's smile was a bit sarcastic, "You are wrong, Saira, you are totally wrong."

"Master Tian Ling Fengxing seems to have a lot of misunderstandings about me?" Jiang Qing said with an innocent face, "This is normal. After all, San Fengxing has been in charge of Dao Wife for a long time. It is normal that you are not comfortable with me suddenly coming down.

"

"It should be so." Kujo Takayuki narrowed his eyes slightly, "Takaji Susumu is indeed a good candidate."

"The Eye Hunting Order is almost completed." Kujo Takayuki nodded slightly, "This matter has actually been over for a long time."

For any merit, since Jiang Qing is in his position of power, the achievements of Kujo Takayuki will always belong to Jiang Qing.

"The winner allows the loser to stay in his position. I think this is the greatest integrity. What do you think?"

"I am going to activate the Takashi family. The head of the Takashi family, Lord Takashi Susumu, will be responsible for cleaning up the chaotic wandering samurai in Inazuma."

If she still wanted to ask Kujo Takayuki, she would naturally not leave with Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing's attitude is very clear.

But that was after he died.

But if the good brother is more cruel, then there is nothing to say.

And if Jiang Qing acts on his own initiative in this matter, it will easily consume the general's trust.

The Takaji family, who only agreed to do things, but in the end just delivered a message, should also come in handy.

But according to the experience of the old man, when a high position kills a low position, it is enough to be thoughtful. If the reason can be fooled, then it is okay.

When he once had great power, it was a good thing that the Takaji family was capable, because he would always have the confidence to control the other party.

Wandering warriors are definitely not trading, they are plundering.

In a business with high returns and high risks, if you ask others for help, this is a favor and you must receive it.

But Iwazo-ryu actually has descendants in various places in Inazuma. In the game, these samurai are hidden in various cracks and guarding a precious treasure chest.

He also spent a lot of effort to nod.

"Kujo-sama, let's get back to the topic."

But he couldn't refuse.

The two families joined together, and Jiang Qing really couldn't find a more suitable family for a while.

The most important purpose of his coming here was already accomplished when he met Kujo Takayuki, and the rest were just trivial matters.

It doesn't matter.

For this kind of thing, when the other party doubts your ability to replace them, you really have to have this ability and really try to replace them.

Jiang Qing could forcefully put the hat on him after killing him, but in the end he would still have to bear the crime.

A life-or-death enmity. When given the opportunity to retaliate, he took the initiative to give up and seek peace. He just took advantage of his words and was a bit arrogant and domineering.

Jiang Qing whispered softly after walking out of Tianling Fengxing's mansion.

"For the sake of the general's order, it is reasonable and reasonable, not to mention forced." Takayuki Kujo said calmly.

Without Jiang Qing as an outsider, the atmosphere became even more awkward.

"But Lord Kujo can trust my sincerity." Jiang Qing said softly, "We have a long time to come. Our cooperation should not be short. You still have time to verify my integrity."

Kujo Takayuki stood up, "He has never thought of letting go of the Kujo family!"

After Jiang Qing gave in, if Kujo Takayuki was still ignorant, Jiang Qing could immediately uproot the Kujo family.

"So should this thing be called unfounded, or do I doubt that you are guilty?"

Kujo Takayuki couldn't fight with a person who held great righteousness and was simpler than himself. Any confrontation he had would make him appear incompetent and ignorant.

What forced him to complete the deal was the Wheel of Wishes and Hundred Eyes behind Jiang Qing.

The remaining descendants are scattered in all directions, most of them are wandering warriors.

The key is that in Kujo Takayuki's eyes, the Takaji family really has a chance to replace the Kujo family.

Choose Kujo Takayuki, what nonsense is he talking about now, what is good for you, how good for me, how good for everyone, whether it is time to liquidate in the future.

At least when Kujo Takayuki still had the right to speak, he couldn't admit it.

Kujo Takayuki probably realized it, but if he could continue to survive, it would be hard for him to fall out with Jiang Qing right away.

The failure of the frontline army became the basis for Jiang Qing's promotion.

If it were just a moral restriction, the Nine Principles of Filial Piety would immediately turn against the person.

If he loses, he loses, and he always has to admit it.

This kind of thing can be blamed on the poor performance of the lower-level shogunate samurai.

The god is superior to the three gods, but he sits in the castle tower all year round and rarely appears.

Or you can only quietly be stripped of your reputation and prestige by the other party, completely losing the ability to resist, and then you may not have the opportunity to go home and farm.

This thing is really not difficult.

Kujo Takayuki looked solemn and said nothing.

It turned out that Kujo Takayuki's only reflection on his past behavior was that he lost.

"I learned from Jiang Qing that the Eye Hunting Order is actually a government order jointly promoted by you and the Fools."

But it's unlikely.

"In other words, you don't think you were wrong?"

Kujo Takayuki just felt that he was too conceited.

However, Jiang Qing is a rebel from Haizhi Island. Although he does not have the same weight for the time being, he has a higher position than him.

The current result makes Kujo Takayuki feel embarrassed to say such words.

One thing is enough to expose this person's philosophy.

Jiang Qing laughed dumbly.

And what directly led to all of this was the fight between Kujo Sanra.

If you pay the price first, you will naturally get a higher evaluation.

He didn't know it was necessary.

He cracked.

As a result of subsequent developments, Kujo Takayuki almost became the only king.

Kujo Takayuki immediately proposed to be imprisoned and await death, and the entire Kujo family was almost included.

But this matter has taken root in Kujo Takayuki's heart, and he will definitely clean up Takaji's family if he has the chance.

If he wants to live, he can only pray that the nine filial piety practices will be over.

"Okay," Jiang Qing stretched out, "I can also use my power for personal gain and do what I want to do."

He stretched out his hand, and the Hundred Eyes Wheel floating on his fingertips flashed with lightning.

"Of course, I'm borrowing the general's authority to handle Dao's wife's affairs."
