Not long after the death of Emperor Nayan, some gossip spread quickly.
Then, of course, on the streets of Liyue, many pedestrians began to stop outside the high walls of the palace or under the eaves on both sides of the streets, and then they pointed in the direction of Yujing Terrace in groups. I don’t know what they were discussing or gossiping about.
There is no doubt that although they still don’t know what happened at the Yujingtai Immortal Invitation Ceremony, and they don’t know the seriousness of the matter, but they only know:
There were some strange sounds coming from the direction of Yujingtai just now. Then, many Qianyan troops seemed to have been ordered to move in one by one. At this time, at the high wall of the palace near Yujingtai There are many soldiers guarding the side door.
Those Qianyan Army soldiers no longer let anyone in, and at the same time, they don't let anyone inside come out. This is completely different from the situation in previous years when the ceremony was completely open.
But, actually, not everyone can get out.
Isn’t this?
In the chaos, three people, one man, two women, one large, one middle school and one small, suddenly climbed over the tall palace wall from a corner and jumped out. Then, the three of them were not seen by the Qianyan Army who were arranging defenses. When the opportunity came, he jumped into a small alley one after another, completely escaping from the blockade.
"call!"
"call!
"
"Great, luckily we can run fast!"
"Um!"
"call……"
"I'm so tired from running!"
"They almost caught me..."
"So dangerous."
After being temporarily out of danger, the slightly shorter girl and the little elf-like thing among them gasped and sighed happily.
That's right!
At this moment, those who ran over the wall from the Yujing Terrace and held up their knees to catch their breath were Ying, Paimon, and those they met on the way to escape. That mysterious man.
"etc!"
"its not right!"
"Where's that guy Annie?"
"Didn't she come out with you?"
Suddenly, the panting Paimon paused and looked around in the air again. Finally, when she didn't find the figure of Annie, she got excited and hurriedly shouted in surprise.
"??"
"Ann, didn't Annie come out with you?"
"But……"
"I remember, wasn't she following you?"
At this time, Ying looked around and was dumbfounded. It seemed that they had just escaped and didn't realize that one was missing?
"Paimon!"
"Did you leave Annie in there?"
Ying still remembers that when she saw Qianyan's army blocking the scene and someone designated to keep an eye on the three of them, she didn't want to be controlled by others in a strange place, so of course she grabbed Paimon and ran away!
Then, she remembered, she also called Annie at the same time?
In the chaos, she only focused on messing with Paimon. At that time, she thought that Annie would definitely follow Paimon, so she didn't pay much attention.
But no idea...
Now when they escape, they find that little Annie is not there? !
So, subconsciously, Ying thought that it was Paimon's responsibility, that Paimon had a grudge against Anne because of playing around, so he didn't remember to say hello.
"wrong!"
"I don't!"
"I thought she was following you!"
"When I ran out, Paimon was flying in front!"
"You saw it too!"
Unfortunately, Paimon didn't want to take the blame, so he retorted loudly, focusing on the fact that when she was escaping, she took the lead and ran faster than everyone else.
"!
"
"Oops!"
"Do you want to go in to find her again?"
After confirming that Annie did not run out, Ying Ye couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Then, as soon as she turned around, she planned to go back the same way to see if she could respond.
"Hey!"
"Are you serious?"
"We managed to escape with great difficulty. Now there are so many Qianyan troops guarding inside, waiting for work. Do you still want to break in under such circumstances?"
"I can tell you..."
"Once you get in, you can never get out!"
Fortunately, at this time, the strange man who helped Ying on the way, and then escaped with her, reached out to stop Ying and warned her earnestly.
"But!"
"Annie is our very important friend, we must save her!"
Ying's expression was stern, she thought for a moment, and finally shook her head, indicating that she knew the other party's good intentions, but she still planned to go in.
"That's right!"
"Although that guy is annoying and often bullies Paimon, it is definitely not good for her to be caught alone."
"So, we must save her!"
Paimon also flew forward very loyally and echoed in a crisp voice, expressing his support for Ying's actions, even if the behavior was stupid and he might be caught if he went in.
"But……"
"!
"
However, at this moment, before the strange man wanted to say anything more, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, then stopped quickly, and then he didn't bother to explain, but turned around and looked towards him with a little surprise. Looking in the direction of Yujingtai.
boom!
boom!
Immediately afterwards, he heard clearly and quickly that there seemed to be bursts of noise and strange rumbling noises coming from the direction of Yujing Terrace?
"!
"
"What's that sound?"
"what happens?"
Similarly, Ying also noticed it, and then hurried to the entrance of the alley and stuck his head out to look around.
"I do not know……"
"The sound seems to be coming from the direction of Yujingtai. It sounds like the sound of some huge object hitting and rolling?"
"and……"
"ah!"
"It's getting closer."
At this time, Paimon, who flew over and stopped above Ying's head, also heard it and said uncertainly.
"Strange!"
"at this time……"
"What could it be?"
After listening for a while, Paimon listened to the rumbling sound that was getting closer and closer. Unable to determine what it was, Paimon furrowed his cute brows and wanted to fly forward with a confused look on his face.
But fortunately, she was caught by Ying, so she didn't fly out rashly and was discovered by the Qianyan Army guards who were still guarding the side entrance of the palace wall.
"..."
The strange man did not make random guesses like Ying or Paimon. He just stared intently in the direction of the attic and wall of the Yujingtai Palace.
"!
"
"coming!"
Boom!
Finally, as he drank in a deep voice, soon, he, Ying and Paimon, as well as countless pedestrians and citizens on the street who were stopping to discuss, saw in shock:
A huge blue bubble, with at least a dozen or twenty Qianyan Army soldiers wrapped inside it, broke through the palace wall with a loud roar, and then emitted bright colorful reflections under the sunlight. At the same time as the light flashed, it rolled directly onto the street, and after hitting a giant pillar, it continued to roll along the street toward the low area of the port and market in the southeast direction at high speed.
Rumble, rumble...
'Whoaaah!
'
'Help!
'
'No!
! '
'Mother! '
'Uhhhhhh! '
'help me!
! '
"vomit!
"
'Ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
! '
Then, along with the loud rumbling sound, were naturally the incomprehensible screams and cries for help from the Qianyan Army trapped in the water bubble.
Obviously, the current situation for them, who were trapped inside and forced to roll, collide, and become entangled with each other, and continued to roll towards the lower parts of Liyue City with the huge water bubbles, was definitely not good.
Immediately afterwards, those who rushed out from the breach in the broken wall and the gate were of course the large group of Qianyan Army soldiers who looked a little embarrassed.
"head!"
"over there!"
"Heading towards the market and cargo port!"
"quick!"
"Follow me!"
"Gotta stop that blister!"
"Hurry up!
"
But fortunately, those people were not here to hunt them down.
Those people just carried their own weapons and chased forward desperately, as if they wanted to catch up with the big bubble as soon as possible and kill it before it crashed more houses or jumped into the sea. Block it and rescue the colleagues inside one by one?
"ah!"
"What's going on?"
"strangeness……"
"What's going on today? You always feel like something is wrong?"
"well……"
"I didn't say anything, but something big must have happened in Yujingtai. I just hope it's not a big mess!"
"Big mess?"
"..."
"Hey!"
"or……"
"Can we all follow along and have a look?"
"good!"
"Walk!"
"Take a look!"
Immediately afterwards, those who followed the Qianyan Army soldiers who were chasing the big blisters were naturally talking and making noises, including the Liyue people, children, tourists, sailors and some other people who were either good or suspicious. wait.
"??"
"Strange!"
"What's going on? Who is crazy enough to attack the Qianyan Army directly at Yujingtai?"
At this time, seeing this, the strange man seemed to vaguely understand something.
Then he frowned, no longer looking at the big blisters rolling further away and the crowd following them. Instead, he turned his head, folded his arms, and looked towards Yujingtai and the man who had just been hit with flickering eyes. Looking through the gap in the broken palace wall, he didn't know what he was thinking.
"..."
Ying didn't speak, and just followed the strange man, with a slight glance, staring in the direction of Yujing Terrace.
But unfortunately, apart from the faint sounds of commotion coming from inside and the noisy orders and scoldings of the Qianyan Army soldiers, she heard nothing.
"Paimon!"
"you say……"
"Could it be that guy Annie who did it?"
After waiting for a long time, when the movement in the direction of Lian Yujingtai completely stopped, and then found that there was still no sign of a certain troublesome red guy, he thought about the huge blister that had just rolled out, Thinking about what Annie had done in the past, Ying suddenly turned her head and asked softly to Paimon, who was flying beside her shoulder.
"Huh?"
"Do you think that guy Annie did it?"
Hearing this, Paimeng was shocked.
"Um……"
Then, ignoring the surprised look from the strange man next to him, Paimon directly held her little arm and rubbed her round, smooth and plump chin while frowning and thinking about it.
"The style is quite similar..."
"but!"
"In the past, she just liked to play with fire, and occasionally liked to use flash and teleportation spells to tease people, but using water elements to create big blisters and so on..."
"It seems like I've never seen her use it before!"
"Could it really be her?"
After thinking for a while, Paimon finally shook his head in frustration and asked in confusion, not daring to be too sure.
Of course, she didn't dare to deny it either.
After all, Paimon knew that the bad guy Annie could do anything, otherwise he wouldn't have taught Little Keli the terrifying and dangerous deuterium and phoenix elements that even the singers were too scared to talk about. Fusion explosion mode!
And now, the other party brazenly attacks Qianyan Army and puts people into bubbles and throws them out. That kind of thing seems to be a bit like that bad guy?
"Hello!"
"The Annie you are talking about..."
"Is she the little girl who played with you next to the wishing furnace before?"
"That is..."
"There's no little guy who can escape with you?"
At this time, before Ying could decide whether to take the risk and break into Yujing Terrace to find out what was going on, the strange man on the side spoke again.
"..."
"..."
Ying did not answer in a hurry, but looked at Paimon first, then turned her head and asked strangely:
"Listen to your tone..."
"You seem to be very interested in Annie?"
"besides……"
"You don't seem surprised?"
Then, Ying, who noticed something unusual, thought about it for a moment, and then asked directly to his face with some vigilance.
"this……"
"All right!"
First, he stared at Ying's pretty face that didn't seem to be easily fooled. Then, surprisingly, the strange man didn't deny it, just chuckled, and then explained why he was interested in Annie and his tone. The familiar reason revealed in his words was revealed.
"I admit!"
"I have indeed seen a lot of information about that little family."
"In fact..."
"Especially in the past few days, almost all the information coming from Mondstadt is about her or related to her?"
"nature!"
"And some are related to a little girl in red?"
"What's her name?"
"correct!"
"Is it the lord of the deuterium element, the new god of elements - Keli?"
Having said this, the strange man laughed softly and blinked at Ying and Paimon, who were quite surprised and shocked.
"!
"
"!
"
After hearing this, of course, Ying and Paimon once again looked at each other in shock and exchanged certain information that only they could move.
"Who are you?!"
"Why do you know about Keli and Annie?!"
Then, Ying made a quick decision and waved her hand, and a golden blade of light appeared in her hand.
That is the power of the Rock God.
On the way to Liyue Port, Ying came into contact with a statue of the God of Rock. Then, just like when she was in Mondstadt, she directly resonated with the statue and gained the power to use the rock element, allowing her to use it easily. That kind of power can be used to condense a weapon or a huge stone pier to bombard the enemy.
"besides!"
"Why are you reaching out to us?"
"What's your intention?!"
Then, Ying continued to scold and asked.
After all, Ying is now an honorary knight of Mondstadt, and she was warned by Qin when she set off, saying that she should try not to spread the news about Annie or Kelly?
Of course she agreed wholeheartedly and made a solemn promise at that time, but now, the man in front of her who deliberately approached them knew so much, and also deliberately collected information about Annie and Kelly, so she had no choice but to do more. Think about it.
"That's right!"
"You actually know about Annie and Kelly, there must be something wrong!"
"Tell me, what bad intentions do you have?!"
Immediately afterwards, Paimon also made a serious face, and after flying behind Ying's head for the first time, he questioned loudly and angrily in a bossy tone.
"Hey! Hey!"
"Please!"
"Can you please stop getting excited..."
"Just now, I helped you get out of trouble, have you forgotten?"
"I'm really not your enemy."
Seeing Ying's reaction and the golden sword in his hand, the strange man quickly waved his hands to ask Ying to relax first and stop copying the knife so easily.
"All right!"
"Then let me introduce myself first?"
"my name……"
"Can you call me "Master"? "
Seeing that Ying didn't buy it, the mysterious man had no choice but to sigh, then spread his hands, directly introduced himself and said his name openly.
"Master?"
Ying said that she had never heard of that name, she just felt that something seemed wrong. After all, it always felt a little weird to have that kind of name or nickname.
"Master?"
"Miss?"
"ah!"
"Pamon remembered!"
"You are a badass!"
"You are the "son" among the eleven executive officers who obey the orders of the Ice Queen in the Winter Palace! "
"That's you!"
Fortunately, Ying still had Paimon, a little guy who was useless and had been reduced to being a spare ingredient many times, so after thinking about it, she exclaimed and solved Ying's confusion and said it in one sentence He discovered the true identity of the mysterious man in front of him.
"!
"
"Fools?"
"really!"
Hearing this, Ying's heart froze, and knowing that the other party had an agenda, he held the golden rock elemental sword tightly in his right hand, and at the same time a vacuum vortex began to gather in the palm of his left hand, and prepared to use the rock element at the same time. The elemental and wind elements launch her strongest dual-element attack on the enemy in front of her.
"Using two elements at the same time?"
"Tsk!"
"You are not simple either!"
"It seems that there are also some unsatisfactory things in our intelligence network of Fools!"
Seeing that Ying could actually use dual elements, the "young master" was slightly surprised.
However, he had no intention of defending or counterattacking. Instead, he shook his head and saw that Ying still looked like she was facing a formidable enemy, so he had to continue to add:
"Don't be nervous yet, I'm not here to fight with you."
"real!"
"I think……"
“It must be the ‘ma’am’ guy who left a bad impression on you, right? "
"I heard that she did some things in Mondstadt. Her actions were a bit radical, and she also liked to keep spying on the secrets of the Knights. Then she was driven away, right?"
"Anyway!"
"I don't like that woman either, really!"
"This time, I am really here to help you. You just saw that Emperor Yan Wang was killed, and you are still very suspicious. Without the help of us fools, you will be unable to move forward in Liyue. ?”
Afraid that Ying would not believe it, the "young master" said this again, and also distanced himself from the relationship between him and the "lady", trying to win the favor of Ying and Paimon.
"..."
"..."
Unfortunately, both Ying and Paimon were still sullen, obviously not buying it.
Come to think of it!
The "young man" in front of me is one of the executive officers of the Fools, and the "lady" is also one of the executive officers of the Fools. Now he suddenly ran out of the scene where the King of Rocks was killed, and took the initiative to help them kindly, and said There is no malice, that kind of thing, let alone a blind date, can't even be deceived by the often brainless Paimon.
"real!"
"I'm really not a bad person..."
Seeing the reactions of the two people, "Young Master" naturally continued to explain.
"Well……"
"Okay, like I'm really the bad guy?"
However, when he talked about a certain thing, it seemed that he couldn't make it up anymore, so he actually laughed out loud and admitted it openly.
"However, please believe me this time. I really am not here to cause trouble for you."
"Promise in the name of the Ice Queen?"
"real!"
"I am the envoy from the Kingdom of Winter to Liyue. I want to spy on Mondstadt's intelligence and investigate various things that happen in Mondstadt. That is that woman's job. I will not help her easily!"
"Anyway!"
"Now that the King of Rocks has been killed, I, the messenger of fools, and you, the traveler from Mondstadt, have both appeared at the scene. This is an indisputable fact. Don't you deny it?"
"I am definitely not the one who harmed Emperor Yan Wang. I don't have that ability yet!"
"I guess it can't be you, right?"
"And then..."
"We are all suspected of being "assassins" now. At this point, maybe we can put aside our prejudices for the time being and work together? "
"!
"
"careful!"
"Hide now!
"
At this point, the "young master" suddenly stopped talking, but his face changed slightly, and then he waved his hand to signal Ying and Paimon to hide quickly so as not to be seen by the Qianyan Army soldiers outside the alley.
"!
"
"quick!"
"Spread out!"
"The whole city wants that little girl with blond hair and red dress!"
"Be sure to catch her!"
"go!"
"Quickly print out the photos, make a wanted list, and post it at every street corner, dock and shop. We must find her!"
"And her accomplices!"
"remember!"
"Be sure to notify the Qianyan Army and the Liyue General Affairs Department throughout the city!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
"As you command!"
"Everyone!"
"Set off!
! "
Just as Ying and Paimon turned around to avoid it, they were shocked to see: a group of Qianyan Army soldiers rushed out angrily from the Yujing Tower, and then hurriedly gathered and instructed outside the side door to make some arrangements and arrangements. Then in groups of three or five, they loudly agreed and dispersed, each of them going about their business according to the orders they received.
"Tsk tsk!"
"This is the first time I've seen such a big movement from the Qianyan Army!"
"Look at how angry they are. That companion of yours not only ran away, but also got into big trouble?"
"But no matter what, this is good news. At least you don't have to worry about her safety anymore, right?"
After roughly knowing what was going on, the young man shrank back, nodded and said with a smile.
"bring it on!"
"If you don't want to get caught, we'd better get out of here?"
"I hope they didn't take a picture of us..."
"Anyway!"
"How about we go to Beiguo Bank first and then discuss the countermeasures?"
Then, after seeing that Ying gradually let down his guard and put away his elemental weapons, as if he didn't want to embarrass himself anymore, the foolish young master smiled and extended the invitation again.
"..."
"..."
Ying and Paimon frowned and looked at each other, feeling a little hesitant. They didn't know whether to believe this fool in front of them, who seemed to have some bad intentions, and they all went to the Northland Bank to take refuge together.
Of course, they were not sure whether the other party had bad intentions or not.
But anyway, all the things the other party did were too coincidental. In addition, they had seen the things done by the Fools in Mondstadt. Therefore, under the preconception, they always felt that the other party had bad intentions or wanted to do something. What kind of conspiracy is going on with them?
