Genshin Impact, I'm Slime

Chapter 496 Where did the crow’s mouth come from?

The death of Emperor Yanwang was too sudden for Liyue.

Even though Ningguang smelled something unusual from the actions of some domestic forces, the subsequent post-disaster reconstruction of Liyue Port, balancing the demands of major domestic forces, and dividing the power vacuum after the death of the supreme ruler, Liyue's monetary policy after Mora stopped producing...all these things required her to devote her energy to dealing with them as soon as possible, and she really couldn't do everything herself.

What's more, given her current status, many things are inconvenient for her to do herself and can only be done by others.

As much freedom as power gives, it will take away as much freedom in the same sense, regardless of whether it is a god or a mortal.

In order to maintain law and order and ease public sentiment, Ningguang recently concluded a contract with the chamber of commerce with which she had maintained good cooperative relations in her private capacity, and carried out many subsidized projects among merchants in the name of "Liyue Port United Chamber of Commerce". Commemorative activities cover areas such as meals and accommodation, worship rituals, tea and drinking, folk art and folk music evaluation, etc.

To put it simply, before the immortal ceremony is held, the ordinary people in Liyue who have escaped the ravages of the war and are in urgent need of psychological comfort have something to do, so as not to wander around the only remaining Chihuyan Street and Feiyunpo all day long, and suffer the sorrow of spring. Autumn, delaying the reconstruction of South Pier.

Facts have proved that this kind of measure is very effective. Perhaps because of the willingness to spend money, the response to the event that looks like a street rally has been enthusiastic.

It's a pity that this kind of activity will end at midnight tonight, because tomorrow at midnight will be the ceremony of sending immortals to Emperor Yan.

The Yujingtai gardens and temporary plank roads, which were least damaged during the war and were repaired the fastest, are already crowded with people who have traveled thousands of miles to pay homage to Liyue. They carry lanterns and candlesticks and spontaneously come to visit. A god who will answer prayers again.

Liyue merchants who are usually good at calculations, careful about spending money, and like to inquire about market news, this time it seems that they are really here for the Rock King himself, to pray for the afterlife of the Rock God Morax in some vague and unknowable way of heaven and earth. of happiness.

But the people near the plank road at the edge of Yujingtai Square noticed with sharp eyes the lights on the corner of Tianheng Mountain and the large groups of Qianyan Army soldiers who were constantly moving towards the Golden House.

Ordinary people only think that Qixing mobilized patrol troops to maintain order in order for the ceremony of sending immortals to go smoothly. However, in the eyes of some thoughtful people, Liyue has just experienced the ravages of war. Qixing mobilized such a huge army, which obviously means more than just To maintain order is as simple as that.

Their speculations were not wrong and were even very close to the truth to some extent.

In the Golden House Banquet Hall at the foot of Tianheng Mountain, Ning Guang stared at the almost crazy Ning Lan with a solemn expression. After a moment of silence, he lowered his eyes, glanced at Zhong Li standing beside him, and raised his hand to make a false gesture.

"Qianyan Army obeys the order! Capture the leader of the bandits and suppress the rebellion."

"...If you encounter resistance, you will be killed on the spot without trial!"

The person who shouted the second half of the sentence was not Ning Guang, but the frosty-faced Ke Qing. The girl's normally gentle and firm eyebrows were filled with a chilling air. Her cold words instantly shocked the guests in the banquet hall. and accomplices who are ready to act.

At the same time, three huge and extremely oppressive homing machines were also pushed to the main entrance of the Golden House. Several backup homing machines installed on Tianheng Mountain were also activated. To prevent any unexpected events, the crossbow machines had already been calibrated. Good trajectory, aim at the big hole in the wall on the third floor of the Golden House.

"Mother... mother..."

Ning Lan still knelt down on the booth and muttered to herself, not realizing that she was surrounded by Qianyan Army.

The first to attack was Qianyan Army's squadron leader Youxu. He put down his white tassel gun and rushed toward the opponent with his shackles. Even though Master Keqing resisted the order to kill on the spot, as the mastermind, Ning Lan must still have the value of interrogation, not to mention that the Eye of God on her thigh was dim, and it didn't look like it was there. What resistance looks like.

Youxu quickly handcuffed Ninglan to the flail, and more Qianyan Army soldiers rushed forward and pushed the opponent to the ground.

Facing the rebel leader, Qianyan Army's arresting actions were naturally not gentle. Ninglan was controlled by three soldiers at the same time. Her hair was messy, her cheeks were pressed against the ground, and her head was directly hit. Press it into the powdered salt transformed from the statue of Heulia.

Even in the face of such brutal methods, Ning Lan still looked lost and sluggish.

Ningguang knew that some holders of the God's Eye would usually behave in a hazy state after losing their wishes, as if the human part had been stripped away from their souls by an irresistible external force.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing to carry the desire of a certain moment throughout your life?

The suppression and arrests were proceeding in an orderly manner. After Gan Yu determined that there would be no more setbacks in the counter-insurgency operation, he retreated outside the Golden House to coordinate the finalization and troop deployment, as if he did not want to be too contaminated by the violent atmosphere in the Golden House.

Qilin is originally an auspicious symbol in the prosperous times. If it is not forced, how can it like the world to fight against each other?

Ke Qing used thunderous means to control the situation, and even the eight accomplices who were hiding in the dark and wanted to escape through the secret door of the banquet hall were uncovered. When Feng Yan passed by with Gong Ming, the elder of the Yuheng family, Ke Qing There was a rare complex look of anger on his stern face.

Gongming, who was being escorted, lost the high spirits he had when he was standing on the booth. His well-maintained general's belly turned into a burden, and his staggering steps looked quite comical.

But when Gong Ming was about to pass by Ke Qing, the uncle of the Yuheng family hesitated, trying to adjust his clothes with his hands that were locked behind his back. The moment he passed by the girl, he quietly pocketed her skirt. There was a note tucked inside.

With many years of experience in shopping malls, Gong Ming's seemingly small act of bribery was not noticed by the people around him. Facing Ke Qing's frown, Gong Ming just glanced at the Qianyan Army soldiers who were escorting him with contempt. Maintaining a proud attitude and the dignity that merchants always maintain.

After getting the note, Keqing did not shy away from the soldiers around her. Even though she wanted to read it, Ningguang suddenly appeared behind her with a cigarette in her hand. She raised her hand and tapped the back of her hand, signaling her to go back and read it again. It seemed that He already knew what Gong Ming had done.

Even when Emperor Yan Wang was there, many of Liyue's lifeline industries were still controlled by aristocratic families. These people were as greedy as gluttons and cunning as jackals. They were connected to each other by family blood ties and were monolithic both internally and externally.

Even though Ning Guang had great hands, eyes, and abundant capital, he still couldn't pry open the Liyue family's business.

Now that these people with ulterior motives have been wiped out by Ning Guang, the families behind them will inevitably reshuffle their ranks.

This is an undoubted opportunity for Ningguang, who is helpless and self-made, but it symbolizes a heavier responsibility for Keqing. As the spokesperson of the family, she will meet again in the future. To more dilemmas.

When Liyue's national interests conflict with the rise and fall of the Yuhengxing family, will she still make the right judgment as she does today?

After settling the matter on Keqing's side, Ningguang walked towards where Zhongli, Traveler and Paimon were.

These three were the major contributors to the smooth resolution of this incident. How could they be left alone?

However, when Ning Guang came to Ying Mei, he found that the girl was constantly scanning the guests in the banquet hall. Finally, her eyes rested on Ning Lan and asked Zhong Li, who was also thinking in a slightly doubtful tone:

"Mr. Zhongli, it seems that we have never experienced any fighting..."

"Isn't it a little too smooth to prevent Yinyuan Hall's god-making plan in this way?"
