I'm in Liyue, and I'm the only one in the chat group?

"It's very simple, Mr. Zhongli probably wants to retire already."

"Retirement... abdication and rest, this word is very precise."

Zhong Li nodded slightly, as if he recognized Han Xiao's words.

He did intend to retire.

6000 years have passed, and Liyue has been in charge for more than 700 years.

It's time to let go.

"That's it"

This cold night is very lonely and spreads his hands.

"Mr. Zhongli must also be worried that if he lets go too quickly, Liyue will be in chaos, so he must be ready to test Liyue people."

"In general reason, it is true."

Zhongli answered quite simply, that's what he thought.

Suddenly, he understood the meaning of Han Xiao's words.

"So it was because my letting go made you feel like you needed the strength to get you through the chaos that was coming."

"even..."

"There are even six other countries."

Without even thinking about it, Han Xiao made up for Zhong Li what he hadn't finished.

"Tivat is a continent with gods. If the King of Rocks abdicates, Liyue's diplomacy will be inherently weaker when facing the other six countries."

Saying that, Han Xiao still felt that what he said was not accurate, and then gave another example:

"In my hometown, there is a super weapon called mushroom eggs, which can cause tens of millions of casualties once fired."

"It is precisely because of the existence of weapons of mass destruction such as mushroom eggs that various countries have stopped wars and chose peace."

"So when people suspect you have WMDs, you better have them."

"Is this what the gods represent in the eyes of the little friend?"

Zhong Li narrowed his eyes slightly.

Although Han Xiao's words are straightforward, the meaning contained in them is not simple.

If you don't talk about it far away, just talk about Sumi.

From the Battle of Kanria 500 years ago until the succession of the [Little Auspicious Grass King], even if Sumeru is a country that advocates wisdom, it still experienced a period of chaos.

It appears his retirement plans are about to change a bit.

Well, let Qixing and the others become insiders afterwards.

In this way, presumably Liyue will not cause too much trouble.

Zhongli thought about the words of the immortals and decided not to tell them.

After all, there is still a place where I need to use them in my own plan.

As for the implicit persuasion in Han Xiao's words to let him give up and abdicate, Zhong Li naturally understood it.

But... huh...

It took 700 years to make me give up retirement?

Impossible, absolutely impossible.

No such ghost story exists.

"It seems that Mr. Zhongli doesn't intend to give up."

Seeing Zhong Li's smile and silence, what else could Han Xiao say, he could only sigh slightly.

After all, there is still no persuasion.

"Let's put my business aside for now, and let's get back to the point first. I think that little friend Hanxiao knows the taboos of alchemy. If the son of chalk agrees to teach you alchemy, as long as you don't have the power to touch the leylines and the abyss, I don't care." will be banned."

"The contract is finalized?"

"The contract has been fulfilled, and those who break their promises shall be punished by eating rocks."

With the signing of the contract, the stone in Han Xiao's heart finally fell to the ground.

Now, he can finally become stronger before the 'story' starts. After the 'story' starts, the power of the maintainer of heaven and law is estimated to decline to the extreme.

Waiting until then is when he really rises.

Of course, that was the beginning of a real revolution in Teyvat.

"That's right, little friend Hanxiao."

"What's the matter, Mr. Zhongli?"

"Have you considered becoming a Seven Star?"

"what??"

Zhongli's words caused Han Xiao to fall into a state of shutdown again.

Chapter 14, it's up to you

"Mr. Zhongli, you are not joking."

"Seven Stars, me?"

Han Xiao stretched out her index finger and pointed at herself, the expression on her face was full of disbelief.

"Yes."

Zhongli nodded quite calmly and expressed his thoughts.

"You can think of the situation that Liyue will face after I retire, which proves that your way of thinking and the overall situation are quite good, and..."

As he said that, Zhong Li suddenly let out a chuckle, and looked at Han Xiao with a little more smile in his eyes:

"Don't you think your previous considerations are very similar to the words of the person who is in the seat of Liyue Qixing?"

This is the truth.

Whether it was a compliment to Han Xiao or a proposal to become a Seven Star, Zhong Li was sincere.

Perhaps Zhongli hadn't considered this matter before, but today's cold night did give him quite a big surprise.

It's not just what Han Xiao said that Liyue will be weak in diplomacy after losing the Emperor Yan, which is very likely to come true.

What made Zhongli even more satisfied was that perhaps even Han Xiao himself didn't realize that his position was completely biased towards Li Yue.

As I said before, after more than ten years of observation, Zhongli has long regarded Han Xiao as a real citizen of Liyue.

A young man with an active way of thinking, a good view of the overall situation, and strong abilities.

He treats Emperor Yan only with respect and not blind obedience, and has a sense of belonging to Liyue.

Take a look at it comprehensively.

ho~

Isn't this the perfect seven-star character set that I want.

That's why Zhong Li directly invited Han Xiao, asking him if he wanted to be elected as a Seven Star.

"No, no, how can I be a Seven Star."

Han Xiao frantically shook her head.

He himself is just an otaku who likes to be quiet, making him the top seven people in charge of Liyue's power, this burden will overwhelm him.

If Zhongli hadn't decided to retire a long time ago, he would definitely continue to hang out.

Why 996? It's not good to lie down.

Saying that, Han Xiao cautiously looked at Zhong Li:

"That...Mr. Zhongli, it should be fine to reject Emperor Yanwang."

"It's okay, this is just a suggestion from me to you, and the decision is up to you."

Regarding Han Xiao's refusal, Zhong Li was not surprised.

In addition, Han Xiao, who was only a hundred years old in his previous life, is still very easy to understand in his eyes.

Hmm... how should I put it.

Probably in Zhongli's eyes, Han Xiao belongs to Xianyu, if you move him, he will jump around.

If she didn't touch him, Han Xiao might not even want to move.

But the word will come, the world moves easily.

Han Xiao could see that Liyue might fall into chaos in the next period of time, so she thought of ways to strengthen her own strength to ensure her own safety.

Who can tell what the future holds.

"Let's skip this topic for now. I wonder if little friend Hanxiao can introduce you to the world you were in before. To be honest, I'm quite curious."

"No problem, Mr. Zhongli, what do you want to hear?"

Seeing that Zhongli had changed the subject by himself, Han Xiao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face was also a little bit more.

"Just tell me some history of your country."

"no problem..."

.....

After revealing their identities, the distance between Han Xiao and Zhong Li narrowed a lot.

The two talk and listen to each other.

From the history of flower growers, the pattern of the world, etc...

The more Han Xiao talked, the more excited she became.

Thinking about it is also true, after more than ten years, the past life can only be buried in the bottom of my heart.

Now that he has finally met someone who can be honest, why not make Han Xiao feel happy.

However, what Han Xiao didn't expect, following his words, Zhong Li's eyes became more and more strange.

The flower planter has a rich history and has a faint resemblance to Liyue.

Coupled with a novel world structure and governance methods.

What should I do, the more I listen, the more I feel that this is the seven-star candidate I want.

Zhong Li stretched out his hand and stroked his chin, while staring at Han Xiao who was talking non-stop with meaningful eyes.

The flower grower where Han Xiao works has a very good saying.

The world is yours and ours, but in the final analysis it is your young people's.

Think about it carefully... This generation of Tianshu stars seems to be about to retire.

Hmm... You can mention Gan Yu and ask her to list Han Xiao as a candidate for the Seven Stars.

Poor Han Xiao probably never dreamed of it, it was because of the chat between the two that Zhongli not only did not give up the idea of ​​making him a Seven Star.

Instead, it was a unilateral decision to let Gan Yu include Han Xiao in the investigation object of the seven-star candidates.

I don't know if Han Xiao will regret talking a little too much today when he learns that the higher-ups have researched and decided to make him a seven-star candidate.

But it's useless to regret, the land of Liyue is ultimately what the Emperor Yanwang decides to do (laughs).

......

"It can be regarded as sending away..."

I don't know how long we chatted, anyway, Han Xiao only felt that he might have run out of saliva, so he sent away Zhong Li who was very satisfied with the conversation with Han Xiao today.

Before leaving, Zhong Li also told Han Xiao not to forget his identity.

To this, Han Xiao hastily patted her chest and agreed.

From today onwards, as long as Zhongli's bottom line is not touched, he can be said to be the person with the strongest background in Liyue.
