Liyue Taoist of the original god

Chapter 450 Bold words

On the third night after the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, while the travelers were still looking for the Immortal among the clouds, Keqing received the news and hurried back to Liyue Port at starry night.

When she came to the entrance of Yiyan Palace, she stopped in her hurry.

Facing the now tidied up square, she paused silently for a while.

Even though she had had a lot of time to buffer, she still felt that this was a bit too distorted - the emperor was dead?!

Although she had acted "transgressing" several times before, from the bottom of her heart, she did not want to see Liyue's patron saint come to an end because of such a situation.

"You came back earlier than I expected."

At this time, Ningguang's words came to Keqing's ears.

She turned around and looked at Ning Guang's condition, feeling a little surprised in her heart.

The bun on the back of her head is obviously a little crooked, and there are several wrinkles on the waistline of the close-fitting palace skirt that shouldn't be there.

Everything was very different from the image of Ningguang she originally had in mind.

As the two of them got closer, Ke Qing could smell the tobacco smell of the other person who had just smoked, which made her frown unconsciously.

However, under the light of the light and looking at the other person's bloodshot eyes, Keqing still chose to endure it - it seemed that the other party was not having a good time these past two days.

Keqing, who understood, did not choose to chat, but said bluntly: "How is the situation now? Is there anything you need me to do?"

"On the surface, the situation is quite stable. Although the people have various rumors in their minds, I am still stable on the overall situation."

As he said that, he looked down at the square, at the lights of Feiyunpo, and said more in a self-deprecating or admiring tone: "After all, I'm not Ouyang, and I can't handle such a big matter quietly."

Go down."

When Keqing heard this, she glanced at the other party in surprise, but did not answer the words, but asked: "Such a big thing happened, but you still can't contact Ouyang?!"

Ning Guang didn't speak, just shook his head.

Um?

Ke Qing pursed her lips anxiously and suggested: "Ouyang is not so open-minded in his work. Why don't we go to your house and ask?"

"I talked to Xue Lian, but she didn't know. And didn't you go to Wangshu Inn some time ago? You should know the situation better than me."

"Let's try it. For such a big thing, we have to find a way to find Ouyang."

As Keqing said, she turned around and walked towards your mansion.

Ning Guang looked at Ke Qing's back and sighed in his heart. He knew clearly that there would be no result, but he still followed.

On the way, the two met Gan Yu who had received the news. There was no nonsense between the three of them. After a few simple words, they came to the door of your mansion together.

The night guard had never seen such a huge battle. While inviting people into the house, he sent people to find Xue Lian, the current person in charge of the house.

In the living room, the three people waiting did not speak.

Keqing took a sip of tea and frowned inwardly as she looked at the state of Ningguang and Ganyu.

What's going on with these two people?!

She had just come back and didn't know about the conversation between the two in the square during the ceremony to invite the immortal.

So I was a little surprised that they didn't talk to each other when they met.

In silence, Xue Lian soon walked out with the housekeeper Xiaogui.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I went to bed early and kept the three of you waiting."

"It doesn't matter, we came unexpectedly." Ke Qing said a simple greeting and asked straight to the point, "Mrs. Xue Lian, you also know that the situation in Liyue Port is definitely not simple now, so we need Ouyang to come back soon.

.So, is there any news about Ouyang?"

"I'm really sorry. I really don't know. You also saw it that day. The only one who knows the inside story is Shen He who left. But I have been back home for so many days and I haven't received any news from Shen He.

"

Is this really the case?

Ke Qing pursed her lips anxiously again, and asked unwillingly: "Ouyang wouldn't be so reckless in doing things. Didn't he leave a word or a few words?"

"This" Xue Lian began to recall after hearing this.

But after thinking about it, I didn't find that Ouyang had left anything.

At that time, Ouyang seemed to be worried about something and wanted to solve it urgently.

But Ouyang didn't say anything, and it was hard for Xue Lian to express this speculation.

At this time, the housekeeper Xiaogui who had been following Xue Lian seemed to have thought of something.

He took out a pamphlet from his arms and flipped through it. After finding something, he said: "Well, the master of the house said when he left Liyue Port before, if there is an emergency in Qixing

Find him uh."

After reading this, Xiaogui's voice started to become strange.

He glanced at the scene where everyone was looking at him, and continued to read: "Yes, I said that I can find Master Keqing. The master of the family said that Master Keqing has a way to find me."

Swish——

At this moment, everyone in the living room looked at Keqing.

Ke Qing, on the other hand, looked back at Xiaogui who was speaking with a strange look on her face, and asked: "Impossible, I have never received such news from Ouyang."

"Uh, Lord Keqing, I'm talking about the jade pendant that I once gave you."

"So that's it." Xue Lian took the topic, took out a jade pendant from her arms, and asked Ke Qing, "I think this is what Xiaogui said. But it's a pity that I have used it, but it's a pity that I don't have it.

Contact him."

Ke Qing looked at the jade pendant in Xue Lian's hand and blinked innocently, then blinked again.

Silently he took out the warm jade pendant from his arms.

When Ouyang left Liyue Port and asked Gan Yu to deliver a letter to Keqing, he handed it to Keqing along with the letter.

She once thought it was some kind of token, but now she realized it was something used to convey messages.

What Keqing didn't know was that this was an "alarm clock" Ouyang left for himself because he was afraid that he would lose track of time while wandering outside.

Because he knew that this year's Immortal Invitation Ceremony would definitely be a mess. Although the condensed light in the game could turn the tide, who knew if there would be any problems.

That's why I left a backup plan.

Keqing pursed her lips, and a flash of lightning flashed in her hand, activating the jade pendant.

bite--

A ray of silver light rose from the jade pendant, but after flying high into the sky, it turned around and ran back and entered the jade pendant again.

Gone?!

Ke Qing was a little dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Xue Lian also smiled bitterly and explained: "That's it, my jade pendant can't contact the owner of the family."

"Okay, we're the ones interrupting." Keqing was in a low mood, obviously very disappointed with this situation.

After confirming that Ouyang could not be found, the three of them left your mansion without any delay.

And immediately came to Keqing's office in Yiyan Palace.

Keqing was just like the previous time, while tidying up the documents piled up on her desk, she asked vigorously: "I just came back, is there anything you need me to do now?"

Ningguang did not hesitate and said simply and clearly: "Military power!"

Um?

Ke Qing was a little confused.

Qixing has the power to mobilize the army, so generally speaking, Ningguang would not use this as an issue.

Ningguang saw Keqing's confusion and explained: "Before the Hailantern Festival last year, Ouyang started recruiting soldiers and reforming the military. It has been almost a year now. Those recruits who finally stayed, plus those who accepted the reform,

A total of 50,000 people are stationed near the school, and I want to mobilize these forces."

At this point, a rare hint of dissatisfaction appeared on Ningguang's face, and she continued: "But these fifty thousand people refused my order and said they would only obey Ouyang's order."

"Under the current circumstances, Liyue Port cannot be completely under martial law, but there cannot be any loopholes in the defense. I know that the 200,000 thousand rock troops you brought out cannot be moved. They are to protect those people, so we need it now

Find a way to defeat the 50,000-strong Qianyan Army."

"Isn't this right?" Ke Qing looked at Ning Guang and said with some surprise, "The Qianyan Army I brought out also accepted the reform. They all followed the "Soldier Drill Manual" given by Ouyang, but they were not as high-minded as Ouyang.

Loyalty? They are all based on obeying orders. Are you mistaken?"

The atmosphere in the office came to a standstill amid Ke Qing's questions, and there seemed to be a hint of embarrassment in the air.

Seeing that the scene had become like this, Gan Yu stood up and explained: "There have been too many rumors in Liyue recently. Some of them were heard by those soldiers, and they felt that Ningguang and Ouyang were not able to deal with them. So they turned a blind eye to Ningguang's orders.

.”

Also, it’s not considered a rumor.

Ke Qing looked at Ning Guang with a meaning in her eyes.

Then she said to Gan Yu: "Then, shall I mobilize them?"

"What I mean is that when you go to mobilize them, you'd better take Mrs. Xue Lian with you to be prepared."

Huh?!

Ke Qing looked at Ning Guang who had just spoken with some surprise, and asked in confusion: "If that's the case, then why didn't we talk about the matter together when we were in your mansion just now?"

"I can't say." Ningguang took off his strong disguise, found a chair and sat down, closed his eyes tiredly, and continued, "I received news that fools are spreading rumors that Qixing is plotting to murder the emperor, and

Travelers from Mondstadt have already set out to look for the True Lord of the Moon-cutting and Yang-building in Jueyun."

"We all know that her child Gui Chuanyu is now the master of the great sage who conquers demons, so if we really end up facing off against the immortal, Xue Lian will be the only bridge."

Huh?!

The bridge is not

Keqing looked at Gan Yu strangely, not understanding why the "bridge" suddenly changed people?

Keqing understood Ningguang's arrangement, because Gui Chuanyu was Mandrill's disciple. If he had explained this from the beginning, Xue Lian might be suspected of being swayed.

And if Xue Lian is gradually drawn to Qixing's side in terms of mobilizing the 50,000 soldiers, then we can try to use Xue Lian to counter Gui Chuanyu and let the child serve as a buffer among the immortals.

But what she doesn't understand is that the buffer Gan Yu is obviously the more suitable candidate.

This reminded her of the zero interaction between Ningguang and Gan Yu when they were in your mansion, and she had a suspicion in her mind.

Gan Yu did not let Ke Qing guess, but said frankly with a calm face: "The sudden fall of the emperor makes me unable to trust anyone now."

"Originally, there was. After all, Ouyang was the last Qixing personally appointed by the emperor before his death. It's a pity that he is not here now."

"So I chose not to help each other, and after arranging everything in the next few days, I applied for leave!"

Is that so?

Keqing finally understood the reason for the awkward atmosphere between the two of them in your mansion before.

But she didn't dwell on it. After hearing Gan Yu's application for leave, she actually nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I agree in principle to your leave application."

"Keqing!" Ningguang quickly wanted to stop Keqing's nonsense, but as soon as he called out Keqing's name, the other party waved his hand to stop him.

At this moment, Ke Qing's face showed unprecedented seriousness and persistence.

She looked at the two of them and said in a clear tone: "I know, I know what you want to say Ningguang, isn't it that the operation of the entire Liyue Port cannot be separated from Yuehai Pavilion and Gan Yu?"

"I also know that now that the emperor has fallen, people's hearts are floating, and rumors are spreading everywhere. Not only do we have to face our internal conflicts, but we also have to consider the immortals outside. That's all, even if we don't count the undercurrents under the water that no one can predict.

, you Ningguang can stabilize Liyue Port in such a situation, I admire you very much!"

"But that's not all I'm thinking about. What I'm thinking about is that since the emperor has fallen, the immortals may be about to attack Liyue to punish him."

Having said this, Ke Qing closed her eyes and took a breath, opened her eyes, and said decisively: "Then, why don't we Liyue start to welcome a new era where there are no longer gods and immortals?!"

Swish——

When Ning Guang heard this, his closed eyes finally opened.

She stared straight at Keqing like a knife, trying to find out from the other person why he had the courage to say such a thing.

Ningguang accepted Ke Qing's statement, but she did not accept Ke Qing's radical approach!

A whole new era?!

To put it lightly!!!

The situation Liyue Port is facing now makes her very anxious, and she is trying hard to maintain everything.

But if things get worse later, for example, the rumors eventually turn into "truth" and are believed by the people, and form a riot covering the entire Liyue Port, then where will the Seven Stars go?

This is still the simplest. After all, the Seven Stars have a common foundation among the people, so it is difficult for such a thing to happen.

But apart from these, there are others, and each of those crises is a crisis that Liyue Port will face overturning!

Until then, who can resist?!

On one side, he stared at Ke Qing without saying a word, while on the other side, Gan Yu also showed a rare serious look on his face.

Qilin is a gentle fairy beast, and as a mixed-race, she has always had this temperament.

But now, she felt a feeling that was even more lonely than before.

It feels like betrayal, but not really.

Or maybe it's like his two thousand years of protection is just a joke, but it doesn't seem to be to this extent.

I couldn’t tell at the moment, but I had mixed feelings.

Time passed by minute by second as Ning Guang and Ke Qing looked at each other unwillingly.

Finally, Ningguang gritted his teeth and asked word for word: "Do you really know what you are talking about?"

"I know."

Keqing's voice was clear and powerful, and her answer was decisive!

"All right."

Ning Guang agreed anyway.

And with this "Okay", Yiyan Palace started to be crazy busy tonight.

Gan Yu also returned to Yuehai Pavilion with complicated emotions and started her crazy overtime mode.
