After thirty-four days of sailing at sea, the cargo ship that Bai Zhe was on boarded successfully arrived in Mondstadt and arrived at Jingfu Port, the only large port in Mondstadt.
The previous Mondstadt Civil War allowed the Gunnhild family to successfully regain certain jurisdiction as the Knights of the West Wind. The Gunnhild family's plan was not executed smoothly. After all, Bai Zhe interfered, which resulted in the Lawrence family having real power in Jingfu Port. They only needed to pay taxes to the Knights of the West Wind. For the Lawrence family, their savings were just a drop in the bucket.
Today, Jingfu Port is jointly managed by the Knights of the West Wind and the Lawrence family. Of course, this is only on the surface. As long as the World Snake does not fall, the actual control of Jingfu Port will still be firmly in the hands of the Lawrence family. . There is nothing the Gunnhild family can do about this. After all, Bai Zhe's methods are obvious to all. He has a very good relationship with the Leckenfeld Chamber of Commerce and the Lancadia Chamber of Commerce. The price of attacking him is very high. And it does more harm than good.
Even the Gunnhild family, the uncrowned lord, needs to think twice before making any move in this regard to avoid being criticized by others.
Looking from a distance, we can see that there are quite a few merchant ships and cargo ships moored at the dock of Jingfu Port. The daily berthing fee alone is enough for the Lawrence family to earn a large sum of money.
If you look closely, you can even see a ship with Inazuma's flag at the dock. Unexpectedly, after the lockdown order was lifted, the local foreign trade chamber of commerce there would act extremely quickly, so the Chamber of Commerce of All Nations would definitely take action as well. After all, many people are Monds who are trapped on offshore islands due to the rice wife policy.
When the familiar cargo ship anchored to block the port, the Lawrence family's security team arrived. After all, the green snake hanging on it was a black flag, which proved that the owner behind this cargo ship was the World Snake. You must know that no one can fly the flag of the World Serpent without authorization. The World Serpent's sphere of influence is now so vast that it covers the two countries of Mondstadt and Liyue. Moreover, they are one of the fastest-rising forces, even with Gu Enxi. The De family are ruthless characters who will never back down when faced with a tough fight.
It is no secret that the Lawrence family is already a force under the World Serpent, but how the extremely proud Lawrence family was incorporated is a big secret, and only the top brass of the Lawrence family and World Serpent know the truth.
The leader of the World Snake, Bai Zhe, who is also called the Lord by their own people, has disappeared for nearly half a year. Not only has he not shown up in Mondstadt, even Liyue can't see the slightest trace of him.
There is no smoke without fire. Many rumors about Bai Zhe's death or disappearance are circulating in the market, but it is rare for anyone in World Snake to express any attitude. You must know that the people of World Snake have always been arrogant in doing things, and they are the type of people who can't tolerate sand in their eyes. I can only say a lot of groundless things about this.
…
Jingfu Port, Lawrence Manor.
At this moment, the people in the manor were in a hurry, and if you look carefully, they all had slightly panicked looks on their faces, especially the servants, who were busy with their affairs under the roar of the stewards.
But many people don't know what happened. The last time this happened was when the Gunnhild family started a war. …Nanke Lawrence, as the only governor with military power, was currently acting coquettishly next to a handsome young man. The man was happy but his expression was indifferent, he just crossed his legs with his arms crossed and said nothing.
After taking a deep breath, Nanke leaned down slightly and asked nervously: "Sir, the head of the family is currently in Mondstadt City, discussing important matters with Lady Barbara. Your return was too sudden, and we didn't What preparations are you making...Do you think I need to send someone to inform the head of the family?"
Bai Zhe stretched out his hands and moved around his neck. A crisp sound of bones made the depressing atmosphere even more solemn. The servants serving on the side did not even dare to make too much noise when breathing.
Bai Zhe lowered his eyes slightly and thought for a moment, then said: "You are still responsible for transporting the minerals to Xingluo Village, and then prepare the carriage for me. I am going to Mondstadt." m.
Governor Nanke's heart jumped into his throat. After all, he also knew the news that Bai Zhe had been missing for a long time. His sudden appearance... But with Mebius by his side, it couldn't be a fake, and No one dares to do this.
"I understand, I'll do it right away."
Governor Nanke didn't dare to ask any more questions. He would do whatever Bai Zhe said, and meeting his requests was the first priority. And a feeling of uneasiness has been growing in his heart. Could the seemingly calm Bai Zhe be the prelude to the storm? But for now, he can only take a step at a time. Governor Nanke himself is not very clear about what is happening inside.
…
In the carriage, Bai Zhe, Mebius and Alicia.
Alicia looked very excited while admiring the scenery along the way. She did not expect that Bai Zhe's sphere of influence was so vast. Not only did he care about the distant Daozhu Islands, but he also spared no one from Liyue and Mondstadt. Ambitions are really not just ordinary, is this the nature? Or was it changed by Honkai energy?
Alicia restlessly held her chin with both hands and cast a malicious look at Bai Zhe, her long elf ears trembling slightly.
"Na na."
He stretched out his leg and kicked Bai Zhe, who was sitting opposite him.
"You seem to have several confidantes in Mondstadt, which troubles my dear Mebius a lot. Barbara Gunnhild, Yora Lawrence, and Veselia."
Mebius, who was lying on Bai Zhe's lap, instantly opened his green snake eyes and stared at Alicia in front of him. He didn't know what kind of plane this guy was going to do?
Bai Zhe stroked Mebius's head without changing his expression, raised his head slightly, stared at Alicia and said, "What's wrong? Are you also interested in joining them?"
Alicia couldn't help but laugh out loud. Bai Zhe really didn't hide himself at all, which was inexplicably cute.
"Forget it, I don't have much interest. What kind of people are they, they won't be jealous when they see me. After all, I look so cute, so considerate, like A perfect girl like me always has to suffer the jealousy of others."
After saying that, he showed a decent look of weakness and blinked his eyes.
Mebius directly argued and said: "Don't worry, they have been trained very well. Although they have objections to me, they will only be obedient as long as he is here."
"Eh~ Really?"
