Chapter 7 The undercurrent of Liyue Port
Qunyu Pavilion, Ningguang Office.
A mature beauty wearing a golden silk cheongsam stood at the window, looking at the sunrise outside the window. The expensive silk material could not hide her plump figure, but the cheongsam with not much fabric made the turbulent waves hidden under the clothes even more attractive.
She stood like this all night. In the incense burner on the desk, the ashes have been extinguished, and she has also forgotten to ask her subordinates to add incense. It is probably not necessary. For the first time, Biyue Tianquan, who has exhausted all his mechanisms, feels that his mind is blank, even after a whole day. I couldn't figure it out all night.
That noisy woman, that woman who seems to be pushing the door open the next second and shouting for her to treat her to a drink, with the unpleasant smell of the sea, will I never see her again in this life?
My nose is a bit sore and my eyes are extremely dry. Are you sleepy? Ning Guang was thinking wildly, I should go to sleep, fall asleep, it will be fine, wait for me to wake up, no, while I am asleep, she will come over and yell something annoying. , but occasionally I hear some important information.
What important information did she say? Dao's Wife, Dao's Wife's country-locking order is the matter of other countries and cannot be controlled for the time being. That is Mondstadt. Fools have appeared in Longji Snow Mountain recently. Because it is close to Liyue, so be careful. No, all the intelligence analysis skills that she was usually proud of were useless. Ningguang covered her mouth. She was a Tianquan star and shouldn't shed tears, but...
"Fools!" Ningguang came to the conclusion. Looking at the various reports on the table, she didn't even bother to sort them out. The documents that had been accumulated for two days were scattered on the floor. She took out a blank sheet from the bookshelf nearby. The letter paper began to sit down at the desk and started writing.
The unloading of goods at the dock went smoothly. As soon as Dadalia learned the news, he rushed to the dock with some of his subordinates. As an executive, he was not bad at strategy, but he just didn't like those twists and turns. In his opinion, Nothing can't be solved by a fight, so most of the time it gives people the impression of a martial arts idiot, but his ability to become an executive is an affirmation in itself.
Dadalia immediately understood what Safire meant. The identity of the woman he killed must not be simple. If it is not handled well, it is very likely that the Liyue side will tear up the agreement. In more serious cases, the two parties cannot even be excluded. The possibility of entering a state of war.
Now, all he can do is restrain his subordinates and try not to let Liyue Qixing get any leverage and wait for an opportunity to retaliate. The rest is to see the reaction of Liyue's senior management. But he is not worried, because everyone knows that there is only one person in the real center of power in Liyue, and that is the Rock King Emperor Morax. The rest are irrelevant. As long as he does not offend this man to death, there is still room for everything. .
"What on earth is this guy Safi doing? Didn't he just say that he was just passing by? Why did he suddenly stab him?" While instructing his men on their work, Dadalia could not help but complain in his heart. Originally, he had contacted a local snake in Liyue through connections. It was said that he was from the street. He planned to get to know him today. However, something like this happened, causing him to have to ask someone to say hello, and the scheduled time was not available. I had to postpone it a little bit because I didn't know if being late for the first appointment would offend the other party. But there's nothing you can do about it, Qixing's attitude is unclear, so it's always right to be careful.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late. I suddenly had something to deal with just now, so I was delayed for a while." In the private room of Xinyuexuan, Dadalia opened the door and saw him sitting at the main seat, enjoying tea quietly. When he saw the man in fine clothes, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said hello.
The man in rich clothes put down the tea cup gently without showing any displeasure: "It doesn't matter. Since Mr. Gongzi has greeted you in advance, I will naturally not be aggressive. Besides, since Mr. Gongzi has already arrived, there is no breach of contract. Rather, the behavior of rushing to the banquet is a manifestation of paying attention to the contract, so how can I blame you?"
"Ah hahaha, sir, you are so righteous. I don't know how to call you sir. Where can you find a job?" Dadalia scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed to be praised by the man in fine clothes in front of him. To be honest, if you can speak and publish a book, this flattery is really comfortable.
"My name is Zhongli. In the early years, I was idle in the clouds and wild cranes, and was a common man in the village. I was not worth mentioning. Now that I have returned to the world, I am a guest at the Hall of Rebirth. It is nothing special." Zhongli calmly sipped the tea.
Soon, the dishes were put on the table. Xinyuexuan is famous for its moong dishes. Many classic dishes are based on seafood. The dishes on the table are almost all fish, crabs, shrimps and shellfish.
Zhongli only moved his chopsticks a few times and then stopped eating, while the young master on the side was still arguing with the chopsticks. It was too difficult for him to learn Liyue's special tableware "chopsticks" in a few days. . It doesn’t work if you have the ability to be proficient in various martial arts. If you can’t, you just can’t.
As if he could tell that Zhongli had a poor appetite, the young master simply put down the chopsticks in his hand and asked, "Mr. Zhongli doesn't seem to have much appetite. Is it not to your liking?"
"Haha, the dishes at Xinyue Xuan are very delicious, and I like them very much. However, I have had some worries recently that have led to a poor appetite, which makes Mr. Gongzi worried." Zhongli suppressed his displeasure with the dishes calmly, and Zhongli fooled the two of them casually. sentence.
Hearing Zhongli's words made Dadalia's mind come alive. He had asked for something from Zhongli this time. If he could help him unexpectedly, he might be able to talk about many things in the future.
"Mr. Zhongli, if you have anything on your mind, you might as well tell me. Although I am not a local, I am quite confident in my connections. I may be able to help you."
After drinking a cup of tea to dilute the residual seafood smell on his taste buds, Zhongli was thinking of ways to deal with it when he suddenly remembered the golden destiny star he had seen on the top of Jueyunjian Mountain before, and immediately asked: "I don't know Mr. Gongzi. Have you ever heard of a destiny star?"
The young master nodded, turned to ask the maid to find him a convenient tableware, and then continued: "Of course I know the destiny star. The starry sky in Teyvat reflects people's destiny. Everyone has a unique zodiac sign, which is composed of six stars. Composed of a destiny star, this is common knowledge for those of us who have the Eye of God." As he spoke, he also showed off the Eye of Water God hanging around his waist.
Zhongli nodded lightly: "It stands to reason that the Fate Constellation appears with a person's birth and disappears after death, but I heard a strange Fate Constellation appeared in the sky two days ago. No, it should be said to be the Fate Star. It It does not belong to any known constellation of destiny, but exists alone in a dark star field. There is no similar destiny star around it, and there is no record of being observed in the past. It seems to have appeared suddenly."
Dadalia sat up straight at this time. Although he had no research on astrology, he still had common sense. How could such a strange situation happen? A destiny star that exists alone, does not belong to any zodiac sign, and shines alone?
"I don't know, what does Mr. Zhongli want me to do?" Dadalia already knew something, but still needed to confirm.
Zhongli picked up the tea cup and took a sip. After a long time, he said, "Don't you, Mr. Gongzi, want to trace the traces of the Immortal family? I do know that there is a non-restricted urn in the Yanshang teahouse in Liyue Port. I believe that with all the fools, There are 10,000 ways to get this non-restricted treasure. I have already told you the news. I just hope Mr. Gongzi can provide me with some reliable astrologer’s observations when we meet next time.”
After saying that, Zhongli stood up and left with the gap he carried with him, leaving Dadalia alone in thought while looking at a table of almost untouched dishes.
At the Liyue Port pier, the Death Star is docked here. In the past, coming here was a vacation for the crew members. Most of them would leave in a hurry to have a big meal and reunite with their families. Or to enjoy themselves and release the pressure accumulated from long voyages at sea. But today, none of them left, and a depressing atmosphere enveloped them.
As the captain, Beidou sacrificed himself to give them time to escape. They were not white-eyed wolves. All they had been thinking about these past two days was revenge. The captain has left, but their souls in Southern Cross are still there. As long as Ningguang gives the order, they will rush towards the fools and that woman regardless of all costs. Even if they sacrifice their own lives, they will gain the opportunity for their comrades to attack and avenge Big Dipper! This is their only remaining belief.
Soon, Huixing, who went to deliver the news, came back, and brought back Ningguang's exact reply: "Master Ningguang asked us to stand by where we are. She seems to be planning to attack the Fools."
This news was obviously exciting, and everyone was looking forward to the moment of action with suppressed excitement.
