The indifference and maturity shown by Youla made Qin feel extremely strange. Is this still the Splash Knight that she is familiar with? The elegance, indifference and calmness of a noble are clearly reflected in her.
Bai Zhe's silence surprised Qin. She thought that this guy would take the lead in this meeting and start it in an aggressive manner, but she didn't expect that the Lawrence family in Jingfu Port was already dominating everything. It seemed that the World Snake was not as good as she imagined. So powerful, or does Bai Zhe have no intention of controlling them...
But when this guy was still in Mondstadt, he tried to use the Sidman family to shake the Gunnhild family's power in the Knights. It wasn't because the fools sabotaged his plan by mistake, otherwise West Wind would now It's hard to say who is leading the Knights... Moreover, after the Sidman family lost its usefulness, it was also torn apart by his own hands.
And this was not Bai Zhe's whim, but just because he made a promise to a woman around him. Qin has already investigated all of this very clearly.
Qin chose to cooperate with the World Serpent. She knew very well that it was dancing with death and entangled with poisonous snakes, but she had no choice but to make such a compromise in order to protect Mondstadt City.
The serious atmosphere at the table was a scene that was different and out of place. Mebius unscrupulously stretched out his finger and poked Bai Zhe in the face, as if he was teasing his brother with his naughty sister. But no one dared to blame her for these actions, even in such a serious occasion, because everyone at the table knew Bai Zhe's identity and the relationship between Mebius and him.
Bai Zhe was not too interested in the verbal confrontation between Qin and Youla. It was a waste of time to test each other. Bai Zhe knew very well that the balance of the current situation was tilting towards the Lawrence family little by little, but this was only temporary. .
Bai Zhe, who had remained silent, raised his voice and said, "It's almost time, let's get straight to the point."
After hearing Bai Zhe's words, Youla nodded to express her understanding, and then raised her hand to signal the maid to bring the things up.
"Captain Qin, as I just said, Jingfu Port cannot be completely handed over to you. This is the place that the Lawrence family has protected from generation to generation for thousands of years."
"But I know very well that the unification of Mondstadt is an irreversible trend... Even if I can protect Jingfu Port at this moment, maybe a hundred years from now the Lawrence family will disappear in the long river of history like the Imon Loka family. Only Mondstadt’s history books record the evil deeds of the Laurence family.”
Youla remained silent for a while before she finished speaking, then slowly opened her mouth with a sigh.
"Jingfu Port is willing to be managed by Mondstadt City."
The next second, Qin's pupils shrank rapidly. She did not expect that Bai Zhe's words were actually true. He once said that he would find a way to make the Lawrence family willingly join the management of Mondstadt City. At first, she really didn't believe it at all. How could the extremely arrogant Lawrence family hand over Jingfu Port, which they had managed for thousands of years!
But the facts were in front of Qin's eyes. How could she not accept it? Even Kaia and Dicas were stunned and looked in disbelief.
The surrounding Hong Kong Guards soldiers and servants were also surprised. For a while, the surrounding area became as noisy as a fish market in the morning.
At this moment, Governor Nanke's face showed a cold look in his eyes, and he slapped the table and shouted: "Quiet!!"
After a roar, there was silence all around. After Governor Nanke's eyes glanced around, no one dared to make a sound, because that was the anger of the Governor of the Jingfu Port Guard Army.
Qin's chest rose and fell violently and her breathing became rapid. She pursed her lips and thought about what Yula had just said, and a sweat slipped down the side of her face.
"Yura, are you serious..."
Youla also strengthened her determination and courage, but she still couldn't help but glance at Bai Zhe who was standing aside.
Feeling the gaze cast by Youla, Bai Zhe smiled back. This smile seemed to be full of magic and made Youla strengthen her heart.
After taking a deep breath, Youla put her hands on the table, raised her head slightly and shouted: "Now that we have reached this point, I still need to tease you. Jingfu Port can accept Meng.
The jurisdiction of Decheng is only conditional. I also have conditions. "
Qin nodded in understanding. As long as the conditions proposed by the Lawrence family were not different, Qin was going to agree. After all, Jingfu Port had always been an important commodity transportation channel in Mondstadt. She really didn't trust that it had been in the hands of the Lawrence family.
I saw the maid slowly bringing up a scroll, and then unfolded the scroll and displayed it in front of Qin. I saw that it was densely written with various rules and regulations.
"Jingfu Port can pay taxes according to Mondstadt's laws, and you can also send people to carry out political management work, but the harbor guard army must still exist, and the governor must also be a member of our Lawrence family."
When Ducas heard this, he couldn't sit still, stood up suddenly, slapped his hands on the table and shouted: "No! The Lawrence family will not continue like this..."
Before Dicas finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Qin.
"Uncle Dickas, please sit down quietly."
Then Qin stared at Dicas with a stern look. Dicas felt as if his heart was frozen. He nodded and sat down slowly without speaking.
The violinist clenched his fist into a fist and brought it to his mouth as if thinking. His half-closed eyes were expressionless and he blinked from time to time. A few breaths seemed as long as a century.
"Okay, I agree."
Yora slowly stood up and said unceremoniously as a superior: "I think the Jingfu Port guarded by our descendants can repay Lawrence's sins for thousands of years. I don't hope that those poems will be circulated in Mondstadt in the future." If the Emhild family doesn’t stop their little tricks, just wait for our counterattack.”
"Okay, I agree."
Seeing Qin agreeing so readily, Youla also breathed a sigh of relief, moved her eyes to Bai Zhe and smiled slightly.
"The last condition is that the Lawrence family will establish the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce in the future. The shipyard and warehouse at Jingfu Port Terminal will still belong to us. Of course, we will also pay taxes in accordance with Mondstadt's laws."
Qin was silent, and she finally reached out and took out the tea cup and took a sip.
"Yes, but the Lawrence family must pay back taxes for ten years."
Dickas had an expression of disbelief on his face. He stared at Qin with wide eyes! That's an asset worth billions of dollars. The Lawrence family's core industry in Jingfu Port was simply given to them?
What Dickas could think of, how could Qin not understand it? The wounded in the army are in danger, and the future matters can be discussed again, but now we must stabilize the situation first. I just hope that guy Bai Zhe can just leave and cause trouble.
But Bai Zhe suddenly said: "Now that everything has been agreed upon, let Jean Gunnhild, the acting leader of the Knights of the West Wind, sign her name."
The maid pulled the scroll to the end and saw that it had already been signed with the words "Yora Lawrence", and her signature was all that was missing...
Qin's gray-blue eyes stared at Bai Zhe. Sure enough, there was no loophole for this guy to take advantage of...
