When Knox walked out of the dark underground with the four people he found later, he was a little surprised to see Ying's figure standing next to the Lei Ying Warlock waiting here, and of course Paimon floating aside.

"They're coming out!" Paimon saw Knox leading the people out and quickly said to the Thunder Ying Warlock beside him: "Look, is your brother in there too?"

Warlock Lei Ying glanced back and forth at the people behind Knox who were walking and eating with food in their arms. She looked at them several times. Finally, she shook her head with disappointment in her eyes: "Not here..."

After saying that, the last glimmer of hope ignited in her eyes, and she stepped towards Knox. When she came to him, she asked expectantly: "Executor...is there anyone else inside?"

Probably seeing what Warlock Lei Ying was thinking, Knox shook his head flatly: "At least not in my perception."

"...Yes...Yes, that's right...that's right..." Warlock Lei Ying lowered her head and said nothing, silently walked behind Knox and returned to the team.

Knox glanced at the other person's back twice, and soon stopped paying attention. His eyes shifted to the figure not far ahead who was obviously waiting for him.

Noticing Knox's gaze, Ying came over with Paimon.

She explained to Knox in a low voice: "The brother of the warlock Lei Ying was lost. I went to help her look for it, but I couldn't find it, but as a reward, you still brought me here to wait for you..."

Knox said nonchalantly: "Where are you going now?"

"I will go wherever you go." Ying said without hesitation.

Knox sneered: "Really? I'm going to Liyue Port to attack Yujingtai. Do you want to come with me?"

"Are you going to attack Yujingtai?!" Before Ying could say anything, Paimon exclaimed first. She looked at Knox in astonishment: "Why?"

"Ha, the Ninth Company to which these people belong originally had 64 people. They were ordered to come from the winter solstice a long time ago to help Liyue investigate and deal with the dark disaster under the giant rock abyss. With the blessings of the people of Liyue, their morale improved. They walked into this abyss with high spirits, fought hard all the way, and worked tirelessly. Even if their comrades around them fell to death one after another, they had no intention of backing down."

"Just like what their commander said to them when they set off, this expedition has nothing to do with any conspiracy or calculation. However -" After saying this, Knox paused, as if thinking about his lines. After a moment, he resumed Said: "However, due to some friction between the two countries on the ground, Liyue tore up the agreement and cut off supplies without notifying the soldiers below who had been fighting for Liyue for a long time..."

"Wait a minute..." Paimon suddenly interrupted Knox's tirade and said with dead eyes: "When you say 'some friction', do you mean the [Master] guy released Osel to attack Liyue Port? That level It’s already considered a war!”

Knox glanced at her helplessly: "This is just a statement. After all, I am also Zhidong's executive officer. Of course, I must speak in a way that is beneficial to Zhidong."

"That being said, Ningguang's decision was actually not wrong? Then why do you still want to make things difficult for them?" Paimeng pinched his waist and looked at Knox with dissatisfaction.

"That's right." Knox nodded in approval, then turned to the five fools behind him and said: "You should go back to the Strata Rock Abyss. People have already said that Liyue did nothing wrong, and you deserve to work for others. , and then starved to death down there in the political struggle without knowing anything."

After hearing the instructions from the Executive Officer, several members of the Fools who had just been able to see the light of day looked at each other, but obeying orders is the bounden duty of soldiers. After a brief absence, they gritted their teeth, turned around, and planned to really return to the bottom of the rock abyss to continue. Task.

"Hey! Wait!" Paimon hurriedly shouted at their backs, then looked at Knox and said urgently: "Please call them back quickly!"

"Didn't you say Liyue was right?" Knox said strangely: "Of course they are the ones who are wrong. They actually helped Liyue solve the problem. Damn it..."

"No, no! It's totally wrong!" Paimon stamped his feet in mid-air anxiously.

In the end, he turned to Knox and sighed: "The reason for the position has nothing to do with right or wrong. Even if it is Zhi Dong who did something wrong, they are just some innocent people who have been harmed... Use them as a reason to attack Liyue." Pressure is indeed a good angle...of course, if the person applying the pressure is someone with enough strength like you."

Knox smiled, and the black flames surged around him. In the next moment, they spread far away, including Ying and Paimon in front of him, as well as the five members of the Fools who had walked away, all within the scope of the black flames.

Soon, all traces of everyone disappeared from the abyss without a trace. On the opposite side, the dock of Liyue Port was ignited with a large group of pitch-black flames, and several figures appeared among the surrounding Liyue people. Appearing out of thin air in exclamation.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Paimeng scratched his cheek: "Have we arrived at Liyue Port?"

As she said that, she quickly looked behind her, and when she saw the fools standing here with stunned expressions, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked at Knox, her eyes full of resentment: "Next time I will never accept what you say again..."

Knox smiled and didn't care.

At this moment, several Qianyan troops surrounded them after evacuating the crowd.

Their eyes were generally focused on Knox and Ying.

"Traveller... I haven't seen you come back to Liyue for a long time, but..." The Qianyan Army leader greeted Ying first, and then looked at Knox: "Why are you with the Fools? Appearing in Liyue Port out of thin air? You should know that fools are not welcome here."

Before Ying could reply, the air wave on Knox had already exploded. After sending several Qianyan Army flying away, he walked straight towards Yujingtai. When he passed by the Qianyan Army just now, he said calmly Said: "Watch the way you speak, Mr. Soldier."

Everyone behind them followed suit, but Ying and Paimon stopped. One by one, they lifted Qian Yanjun who had fallen to the ground, and then apologized to them one by one for Knox.

"Sorry, um, he is my friend, but he had to join the Fools because of some things. um, I'm sorry, his temper is not very good... Anyway, I'm sorry."

……

Knox didn't know what Ying was doing, and he didn't care, because he hadn't arrived at Yujingtai yet. A tall, beautiful woman with long hair reaching her waist, her hair in a bun and a hairpin, was already among the many thousands of people. Surrounded by Yanjun guards, he stood in front of him.

The seven stars of Liyue were shining brightly. She looked at Knox with a smile in her narrow beautiful eyes, and said enthusiastically: "Your Excellency [the deceased] is here to visit you. It would be rude of me to wait so far to welcome him~"

Chapter 146

"It's indeed rude." Knox said without any politeness: "So, what is Tianquan Star going to do to compensate?"

As soon as Knox finished speaking, the Qianyan Army behind Ningguang suddenly became excited. Our Lord Tianquanxing is trying to be polite to you, but why are you so embarrassed? !

But after all, Ningguang is Biyue Tianquan who has been in charge of Liyue for a long time. Such a trivial matter is not difficult for her. Her smile does not change and she replies calmly: "Qunyu Pavilion is Liyue Baige." First of all, non-distinguished guests are not allowed to enter the pavilion. As compensation, no matter what [the deceased] Sir wants to discuss, how about we all come to the pavilion to discuss it?"

Knox immediately laughed. This was an interesting counterattack. He said that he was not a distinguished guest?Forget it, it doesn't matter, after all, everyone is in the enemy camp, and to them, I really can't be called a distinguished guest.

Knox nodded: "Okay."

After saying that, black light bloomed around him. He stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the direction of Qunyu Pavilion. He only heard a muffled sound and the Qunyu Pavilion suspended high in the sky was pulled down from the sky by some invisible force. .

In front of countless shocked and panicked eyes, the Qun Jade Pavilion, which had just ascended into the sky not long ago, fell into the dust again.

Knox turned and walked towards the direction where Qunyu Pavilion fell. At the same time, he looked sideways at Ningguang, who had a gloomy face, and said with a smile: "Let's go, didn't you say you want to go to Qunyu Pavilion to talk? I was thinking about it, but that's not the case. Everyone can fly, and it would be a waste of time to go up in your specific way. This is the most convenient, what do you think? Ruler of Liyue?"

"It seems that Mr. [Decedent], you came here with bad intentions." At this moment, the smile disappeared from Ningguang's face. She looked directly at Knox and said word by word: "Also, please correct your typo, Liyue. The ruler of the country has always been the emperor, and the previous emperor’s fall was just a test for the emperor to Liyue Port. I believe that with the intelligence network of the fool, this will not be unclear."

"Oh -" Knox nodded with understanding, "Now that I think about using the name of Emperor Yanwang to bluff people, why didn't you talk about Emperor Yanwang when you promoted the coming of the era of human rule in Liyue Port? "

After speaking, he waved his hand, and the restraints on the Jade Pavilion disappeared in the dust in the distance, and soon floated to the sky again amid waves of roars.

Looking at Ningguang behind her and the Qianyan Army behind her, the corner of Knox's mouth raised a frivolous and disdainful arc. Then, with the black flames igniting, he smiled at Ningguang and said: "In the group. The Jade Pavilion is waiting for you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he and the few fools around him disappeared instantly.

Looking at where they were originally standing, Ning Guang's pretty face was neither cold nor disgusted, but a look of deep solemnity.

"Lord Tianquan...we..."

Ningguang waved her hand to stop Qian Yanjun's speech behind her. She sighed: "There is no way to avoid disaster. Bring a few smart guards and we will ascend to the pavilion."

As soon as he finished speaking, two figures in the distance approached extremely quickly.

Seeing the person coming, Ningguang was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "You guys came back at the wrong time..."

Before Ning Guang finished speaking, Ying interrupted: "Is it because of Ling... No, is it because of Knox?"

Ying's words made Ning Guang startled. She looked at Ying strangely: "Have you ever had contact with that executive?"

Ying shook her head, and then nodded again: "He is one of the two people I have been pursuing..."

Ning Guang's face changed slightly: "That mysterious executive who is said to have the power to face the gods directly is the person you are looking for?"

"Things are not what you think..." Ying's face was full of confusion. She didn't know how to say this. She thought for a moment and finally said: "In short, his situation is very complicated now, and he is very strong. Very strong. If he really takes action now, even the Rock King will not be his opponent. If he asks for any compensation later, just give it to him as required. I will find a way to compensate him later..."

The look in Ningguang's eyes changed several times, and soon, she shook her head: "Then you just mentioned compensation... plus I just saw the faces of those fools behind him, I probably have some guesses, if it's really me As you think, then it might not be a bad idea for Liyue to make some concessions for this, of course, if..."

At this point, Ningguang did not continue, but paused and said, "Liyue does not accept any threats."

Ying opened her mouth but said nothing.

Knox's wait did not last long. He sat in the Jade Pavilion for about five or six minutes, and Ningguang had already brought someone up.

Knox glanced slightly, and saw that the other party only brought a few guards, plus Ying and Paimon, who were not surprised.

Ning Guang didn't look at the messy environment around her because of the falling and rising of the Jade Pavilion. She walked straight to the sofa opposite Knox and sat down. She raised her long and slender jade legs, and her aura was not inferior to Knox's. Said: "I don't know why Mr. [Decedent] came here this time? Or if there is something important to discuss?"

Knox did not go directly to the topic. He glanced slightly at Ying, who was standing next to Ningguang.

Feeling Knox's gaze, Ying hesitated for a moment, but thinking of Ling's petty character, she quickly made a choice. She showed an apologetic expression to Ningguang, and then with a confused look on Paimon's face, she moved very quickly. He quickly came to Knox's side and sat next to him.

Ning Guang returned Ying's understanding gaze and quickly moved his gaze back to Knox.

Knox leaned on the back of the sofa. Even though Qunyu Pavilion was his home base, he relaxed as if this was his home court.

He looked at the ceiling with a thoughtful expression on his face. Soon, he remembered what he was going to say and clapped his hands: "The Great Abyss of Layer Rock - yes, that's it. Our people are helping you in your territory." Many people have died because of your work, some died in the line of duty, and some were killed by you."

He paused at this point in his words, as if giving the other party time to retort, but Ningguang just looked at him calmly and said nothing.

Knox curled his lips in boredom, and then said: "As the saying goes, pay debts with money, kill with life - but I always like to solve problems in a peaceful way. We don't advocate killing. What about life? There is no need for you to pay compensation, just use the money to pay off the debt. When the Ninth Company came, there were 64 people, and now there are only five people left. Of the 59 people who died, 500 billion molas for each person is not excessive, right? After all, Human life is at stake. As for the few who are still alive, just pay 200 billion for mental damages or something."

"Calculate it -" Knox counted it on his fingers, then smiled at Ningguang and said: "A total of 500 billion molas. If we pay this amount, 59 lives will be cancelled."

"...It seems that [the deceased] Your Excellency did not intend to discuss the matter properly." Ningguang closed his eyes and sighed softly, opened his eyes, and said in a cold and serious tone: "Are you here to declare war on Liyue on behalf of Zhidong? "

Chapter 147

No one was moved by Ning Guang's words, not even the few guards she brought with her.

After all, as long as their IQ is normal, no one will think that the war will start because of these words, and if it does start, it can only mean one thing, that is, Knox's original intention is to start a war with Liyue.

That being the case, what else is there to say?Everyone is sensible and knows that this so-called "war" is just a test of the bottom line.

As expected, Knox casually said: "As I said before, I like to solve problems in a peaceful way. Of course, if the current generation of Liyue people also want to experience the sufferings of their ancestors, War can come at any time."

He said this, but Knox himself knew that it was impossible to start a war unless Morax was really dead, and Knox's own brain was corroded by the original sin.

As soon as Knox's words came out, Ning Guang remained calm and at the same time, she relaxed slightly deep in her eyes. The pressure she was under at that moment was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. This executive codenamed [Dead] She had no idea who he was, and Liyue had very little information about him. Otherwise, when Ying requested to post a missing person notice, they would have thought of this person through the above description.

But Ning Guang had some guesses about the opponent's strength. He was ranked zero. It was rumored that Inazuma had faced off against General Raiden in front of him. This meant that she now understood that what she was facing was almost a god.

Even in the face of gods, he still has the courage to say those borderline probing words. It can only be said that Tianquan is worthy of Tianquan. The courage to gather Liyue's power immediately after the death of Emperor Yan Wang was not because of Lost due to the emperor's "resurrection".

Ningguang put down his crossed legs and said in a much softer tone: "No one desires war. It would be best if we could solve the problem peacefully. But Mr. [Dead Man], I think you should also understand that the number of three trillion It’s just too unrealistic.”

"Regarding the matter of Layer Yan, I deeply regret it. It is not an exaggeration to say that the 59 soldiers who died in the battle died for Liyue, so it is natural that Liyue should be responsible for pensions and compensation." Ningguang spoke at this moment. His expression and tone were almost the same as before, as gentle as a friend who had known Knox for a long time.

"What do you think of this? We will compensate the dead Winter Soldiers ten times the standard pension of the Fools. These returning soldiers will be compensated eight times the amount. I think this will not be able to compensate the families of the soldiers who died in the war. A perfect explanation, but it should be more than enough to soothe people's hearts..."

Knox smacked his lips and leaned against the armrest of the sofa.

He stared straight at Ning Guang's pretty face with a gentle smile, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Although he had already guessed that the guy who could sit in this position would not be an easy person to deal with, but now It seems that it is more difficult than expected.

Calculating that he did not want a war to break out, he immediately tested the psychological price to the lowest point, and then changed his attitude instantly. He used a strong contrast and the promise of ten times the pension to appease his own side, and used the tactics of adding red dates and big sticks. To the extreme, not to mention those subtle body language... You can tell by looking at the softer gazes of the fools behind them when they look at Ning Guang, the effect is very good.

"That..." A warm soft wind hit Knox's ear. Knox's eyes shifted slightly and he saw Ying Na's beautiful cheek that was close to his ear.

"Ningguang's compensation should be very sincere. How about you accept it... okay?"

Ying's voice was so low that only Knox could hear it. Knox glanced at the pleading look on Ying's pretty face and pressed his head slightly distressed.

Can he say that his original purpose was not the compensation at all?There are many banks in the East and West countries like Mora, so they just have to go to the [rich]. Besides, even if they really have to bring the surviving fools under these rocks to Liyue to seek justice, he should be their direct boss [ Cock] Come, he [the deceased] has never been in the habit of meddling in other people’s business...

Seeing Knox's expression, Ying, who knew him almost like the back of her hand, suddenly understood something. She blinked and asked in a low voice in confusion: "Your purpose is not actually these compensations at all, is it?"
