"Guest, these patterns have been handed down from a long time ago and have not changed for thousands of years."
"Although I'm old, I'm not blind. I can still fly two kites."
Ashanpo explained half anxiously and half worriedly, and wanted to take off the kite from Zhongli's hand to check, for fear of something going wrong.
Staring at the anxious old man, Famas sighed, picked up an unpainted kite from the toy stall, and began to paint the kite while Ashanpo had just ground the mineral paint.
Fortunately, all the red and yellow colors needed to draw the battle flag pattern are available.
Famas first painted red on the head of the kite, the body was orange at the end of the flame, and then turned to light yellow at the tail part. The color is full and soft, and the gradient is not abrupt at all. It can still be seen under different lights and different angles. Refracted into different colors, it is breathtaking.
It was obviously a dead object, but it came to life under Famas's hands. The color of the kite and the color of the boy's clothes were all the same. Coupled with the hunting flag, he looked ready to go, as if he was about to enter the battlefield in the next second.
"As long as the king's flag falls, Munata will remain undefeated."
Famas pinched the phoenix-like kite and let go.
"Qiang Qiang."
The bloody phoenix turned into a kite leaped into the sky, its wings flapping loudly, and it shot straight into the sky.
Then it exploded into little bits of debris in the air, dyeing the clouds golden and scattered in the breeze.
The residents on Tiger Rock and the workers at the port all looked up in surprise and looked at the phoenix flying into the sky.
Isn’t it the Hai Lantern Festival yet? Are you starting to set off fireworks so early?
It looks like a new type of specially-made fireworks. I wonder if the people who set off the fireworks know about Liyue Port's "Fireworks Discharge Regulations". Master Keqing, who is responsible for enforcing this regulation, is not easy to mess with.
The Liyue people who saw the flaming phoenix rising into the sky paid a moment of silence for the release of the pyrotechnic Famas, and then continued the work at hand.
"Ahem, old man, do you remember the pattern I drew just now?"
Famas just injected a little bit of fire elemental power into the kite, trying to perform a kite swing.
Unexpectedly, the rock paint ground by Ashanpo also contained a small amount of fire element. When combined with the power injected by Famas, this beautiful kite flew directly into the sky... and exploded.
"I probably remembered it, guest... can you draw more..."
Ashanpo raised his head, looked at the red clouds blooming in the sky, and murmured to himself.
"As much as I want to do it, it's probably too late now."
Famas shook his head. A large group of Qianyan Army had already surrounded Zhongli, Famas and others. A few minutes later, a girl wearing purple brocade walked out from the Qianyan Army. She raised her head proudly. Her cat ears dangled, and the breeze from the harbor blew past her face, lifting the girl's noble purple hair and bringing her delicious fragrance.
"Fireworks are not allowed to be set off in Liyue Port except during specific times."
The girl frowned, the gleaming edge in her purple eyes making it impossible to look away.
At first glance, she looked like a virtuous young lady from a wealthy family, but everyone present knew that the girl in purple clothes in front of her was the famous Yuheng Xing Keqing in Liyue.
"Huh? Mr. Zhongli, were you the one who set off the fireworks?"
Keqing stared at Zhongli doubtfully.
The internal interests in Liyue are intricate. In the early years, the young and energetic Keqing acted with sharpness, which inevitably touched the sore spots of some conservatives. Keqing suffered a lot for this.
But as his behavior became more and more stable, such mistakes became less and less. Looking at Liyue Port today, no one can underestimate this young and promising Yu Hengxing.
Mr. Zhongli from the Hall of Rebirth is currently the focus of Tianquan Xing Ningguang’s investigation.
Although Zhongli was asked to take charge of the preparations for the immortal ceremony, Ningguang, who had always been cautious, never believed that this guest from the Hall of Rebirth would be as harmless as he seemed.
From the first day when the information about the preparations for the ceremony of sending immortals was sent out, Ningguang stayed behind closed doors and began to investigate Mr. Zhongli's life experience.
After a whole day of sleepless nights, Ningguang didn't even have time to play with his favorite parrot.
The secretaries who learned about this paid attention that night, and according to Ning Guang's habit, they added a display board next to the wall where all kinds of information were hung.
But by the afternoon of the second and third days, and even now, the board is still empty.
Judging from all the information collected, Mr. Zhongli is an ordinary "old man" in the eyes of everyone. Except for the days when he participates in funeral affairs, he just drinks tea, listens to books, and walks around.
The informants at Qun Yu Pavilion were quite attentive. They even found out the age and species of the thrushes Zhongli raised.
Zhongli's background is really ordinary, except for the information before becoming a guest minister, it is completely blank.
Of course, it was impossible for Ningguang to send someone to check Zhongli's ID directly. This would make Qixing suspicious and give some people with ulterior motives a chance to talk.
Ningguang also knew very well that even if he really checked it himself, he probably wouldn't be able to find out the reason.
In addition, there is the traveler and the boy in red who suddenly appeared. The backgrounds of the three of them are all confusing. The only detailed information is the traveler named Ying, who is an honorary knight of Mond.
A few days later, Ning Guang, who gave up the investigation completely, informed the other seven stars to keep an eye on Zhongli, Famas and Ying to prevent them from causing any trouble to Liyue.
"And that little mascot floating in the air, don't let your guard down."
After receiving the news, Keqing didn't take the matter to heart at all. She just finished processing the documents handed over by Gan Yu, slumped on the chair, and stretched like a cute kitten.
There's no one else here anyway.
Just as I was thinking this with peace of mind, the sound of fireworks exploding and the shining golden light came from outside the window.
It's absolutely disgusting, disturbing Mr. Yuheng's rare rest time!
A carp stood upright and rolled up from the recliner. Keqing hurried to the incident site surrounded by Qianyan Army, and then saw Zhongli, Famas and the blond traveler named Ying who had been investigating Ningguang.
"He put it."
Facing Keqing's inquiry, Zhongli pointed to Famas without hesitation, then protected Ying and Paimeng by his side, and took the two of them to take a step back.
"Since it violates the Fireworks Discharge Regulations, please come with me."
Ke Qing frowned slightly and made a gesture to Qian Yanjun, which made Famas stunned.
In just a few seconds, he became a prisoner who violated the regulations.
Especially Zhongli's actions to protect Ying and Paimeng, his attitude and righteous tone in identifying the murderer, and the speed with which Keqing caught people, made Famas feel like he had fallen into a trap.
"Wait a minute, Qianyan Army doesn't need evidence to arrest someone?"
Famas took a step back and grabbed Zhongli's clothes.
He was ready to tear off Zhongli's clothes if Ke Qing wanted to take him away.
"I don't need evidence to arrest people, take them away!"
More and more residents were watching, all talking about what happened.
Keqing looked at the chaotic scene and the entangled three people with a headache, and finally couldn't help but pull out the long sword at her waist.
In an instant, a long sword wrapped with purple electricity passed in front of everyone so fast that the sword body was almost invisible. The movement was as fast as lightning, leaving only the clear sound of the sword, like gold and jade.
"Qianyan Army is handling the case, and those who have nothing to do with it should disperse!"
Seeing that Lord Keqing was angry, the troublemakers in the crowd stayed away.
"Hey, it's rare to see Liyue Qixing arresting people on the street?"
A clear voice sounded, and a young man with furry orange hair walked out of the crowd, smiling with white teeth.
The crowd of onlookers retreated to both sides like they were avoiding the god of plague, getting out of the way. The effect was even better than the appearance of Seven Stars.
"Mr. Zhongli, long time no see."
The young man was originally smiling, but when he saw Famas hugging Zhongli, the smile froze on his face.
Only Zhongli, who was caught, felt his head begin to hurt again.
