Thinking of Du Lin, some past scenes flashed through Du Lin's mind. At this moment, Wendy's eyes also flashed with a dim color, and the wine in her hand seemed to be missing a bit of drunkenness.
Diluc and Kaia walked to the table together, but Kaia was the first to speak: "Isn't this my best friend? When did he return to Mondstadt? Why didn't I get any news at all?"
Of course, Kaiya knew why he came to Baizhe, and Diluc also came for Keqing's matter.
Bai Zhe rolled his eyes and expressed some disgust at Kaia's disgusting words. However, his relationship with Kaia was not bad in the Knights of the West Wind, and the two parties had helped each other a lot. In addition to Barbara's reasons, he didn't want to have too much trouble with Qin. Although there was nothing to talk about with the Gunnhild family, compromising and maintaining the status quo were often good choices.
"I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. Weasels and roosters pay New Year greetings. What kind of character do you need from me? You must have encountered some trouble again."
Wan Baizhe had a wicked smile on his face, as if everything was under his control.
Kaiya also showed a shy look, stretched out his hand to scratch his hair, laughed with that magnetic voice, and then spread his hands to show a look of helplessness. This guy Bai Zhe really knew what he was asking. He came from Liyue. Those missions must have been involved with him. Although there is not much news yet, the other party has shown great interest in World Snake, and it is not a coincidence that he came back at this time, and they heard some other information from the businessmen in Liyue.
"Haha, aren't you asking questions knowingly? Look at Mr. Diluc next to us, he seems a little impatient."
Kaia seemed to intend to let Diluc take the lead, but Diluc just stood aside coldly with his hands folded, his red eyes without any warmth at all.
The expressionless Diluc spoke slowly: "I'm not in a hurry. You can settle your own matters first. I believe Mr. Bai Zhe will leave time for us to talk alone."
Hearing this, Kaia didn't look embarrassed and just shrugged his shoulders. He stretched out his fingers to dig at the blindfold on his face. There was also a hint of playfulness in his smile. Unexpectedly, the arrogant Diluc also became a bit more... Smooth, is it influenced by the World Snake or the Fools? Diluc is a very introspective person. No matter how much he hates fools, he will consider many factors based on his behavior and reasons.
Kaiya put one hand on her waist and asked Bai Zhe: "I came here this time just to confirm certain things, and I believe you must know these answers."
Before Kaia could continue to ask, Bai Zhe was playing with a mola in his hand and gave a prophetic answer.
"Yes, Keqing and the others came here mainly for business with me. I remember that Rosevia had already reported the new ship to the Knights of the West Wind."
These are really arrogant words. Of course, World Snake has reported it. After all, it has to conduct a test ship on the sea, so it must notify the Knights of the West Wind in advance, but it is just a report, or it may be more appropriately described as a notification.
Obviously Bai Zhe has no intention of letting anyone else get involved. The news coming from Liyue is so amazing that even the Liyue government attaches great importance to this business and directly sent Yu Heng from the Seven Stars of Liyue. On the other hand, it seems that no one in Mondstadt can make the connection.
So the acting captain sent Kaia over to try out Bai Zhe's words. It would be fine for the knights if it was just taxes, but the pressure exerted by the Gunnhild family was unprecedented. You must know that Qin has always abided by the rules and handled things according to the rules and regulations. It can be seen that this time her family has brought a lot of pressure to her. Maybe the only person who can make Bai Zhe relax...
Barbara.
But here's the problem. Although Barbara has the blood of the Gunnhild family and is Qin's biological sister, she is not a child who grew up in the family.
Although Barbara may take care of the relationship between sisters, her heart is completely tied to Bai Zhe now.
Moreover, the Gunnhild family cannot take action against the World Snake. The Lancadia family is its ally, and the Gunnhild Chamber of Commerce also has a good relationship with it. In addition, with the construction in the Starfall area and the prosperity of business, the tax revenue in just a few months has been reduced. The Treasury Department was stunned. Several high-level officials were shocked when they saw that figure. In addition, there was tax revenue from the recapture of Jingfu Port, and the West Wind Knights' finances could be the most abundant in history.
The Falga Grand Regiment's long expedition not only mobilized most of the knights, but also spent countless molas, which made the Knights' finances particularly tight. Moreover, as backup, we have to continuously transport supplies, which are not an expense. On the other hand, we finally have excess funds to expand manpower.
Judging from the current situation, no one can touch the World Serpent in Mondstadt. There are already supporters of the World Serpent within the Knights of the West Wind, especially the Ministry of Finance who want to take the World Serpent as their boss. In addition, except for the one in Mingxiao, the other church bishops in the West Wind Church are just Bai Zhe's puppets, and they seem to have been caught with something.
Qin didn't expect Kaiya to be able to speak in front of Bai Zhe when she was able, so sending Kaiya over was just a formality to test Bai Zhe's tone. If there was a chance, she would do it again in person.
After the greetings, Kaiya also learned about the relationship between Keqing and him from Bai Zhe. I really didn't expect that this guy's methods were as usual, causing trouble to girls wherever he went.
After saying goodbye, it was Luke's turn.
"Let's go up to the second floor. There are so many people here that it's not a good place to talk. I'll treat you to the drink. As for..."
Wendy instantly understood and blinked playfully, then stood up from the chair, stretched out and said: "Satisfied~ Then I will take the first step. You two will have a drink together next time."
Second floor.
Originally, the second floor was used as a gift for couples who like to stay together, and was prepared for some guests who like to be quieter, but it seems to have become a place for couples to enjoy intimacy.
The appearance of Di Luqi attracted a lot of attention. After all, he was good-looking and rich, and he was admired by many girls in Mondstadt.
"Hey, who is the handsome guy with Mr. Diluc?"
"I'm not sure, but he must be an important guest."
"I know, that's the leader of the World Snake."
"Hey! World Snake, the World Snake that is in the sun right now?"
