Yujingtai has been filled with a tense atmosphere recently, or the whole of Liyue is like this.
This is the highest place in Liyue Port, and it is also the venue for the annual Immortal Invitation Ceremony. The large square only has eight black flags and a copper stove. The canals are filled with lotus flowers, and the jade square is full of cloud patterns.
Normally, only a few pilgrims come here, taking out incense sticks from cloth bags covered with travel dust and lighting candles.
The slender smoke surges and settles again, curling up with no end, and the sound of copper bells makes the sky clearer and farther away. Then they would put their palms together and murmur something, praying to Lord Rock to listen to their small wishes.
However, due to martial law, the place for worshiping immortals on Yujingtai is no longer open to pilgrims.
After changing clothes, Ying walked out of the hotel, hurried back to Wanmin Hall to apologize to Master Mao, and then returned Xiangling's clothes, and then pulled Paimeng without stopping to the bustling Feiyun Slope to find the Qunyu Pavilion joint that Keqing mentioned. people.
But when they arrived at Yuehai Pavilion, they didn't see Famas buying the gift box.
Thinking that the boy hadn't chosen the gift box he needed, the two girls waited there for a while and then walked on to the winding corridor beside the pond in Yujingtai Garden. The cedar floor creaked, the breeze ruffled the lake surface, and the koi fish It suddenly appeared in the water, and the fish tail splashed with water.
It was early spring, and the sun was shining warmly on the edge of the garden. You could see that the flower beds were full of translucent and petite glazed lilies.
Ying and Paimon just sat boredly by the pavilion, waiting for Famas to come over.
"You stinking guarantee guy, why aren't you back yet?"
Seeing that he had been waiting for half an hour, Paimon puffed up his cheeks angrily, flew to the flower bed, picked out a glass lily that was in full bloom, and tugged at the petals complainingly.
"Come back quickly, or not come back, come back quickly, or not come back..."
Ying helplessly held her forehead and pulled Paimon's sleeve.
He could see the kindly smiling Grandma Ping next to the stall. Every time Paimon pulled off a petal, the old man's brow would frown unnoticeably.
Grandma Ping seems to like glazed lilies very much, and she often enjoys them by the flower bed and waters them.
"Ying, why are you pulling me?"
Paimeng raised his head naively, and met Grandma Ping's kind smile by the flower bed.
"Ah! Good afternoon, Grandma Ping!"
After reacting, Paimon hurriedly hid the broken flower behind his back and used his other hand to greet the old man who was watching here.
As one of the three-eyed and five-manifold immortals, Grandma Ping naturally wouldn't get angry because someone was picking glazed lilies because she was too far away. She just kindly stared at the panicked Paimon with her hands behind her back.
"Ying... let's go back to Yuehai Pavilion first."
Paimon felt that the usually kind Grandma Ping was particularly scary today, so he hurriedly pulled the traveler through the garden and returned to the Moon Sea Pavilion to wait.
As the meeting place of the Seven Stars in the future, Liyue's hub will naturally not be left unattended. After the emperor was killed, Yuehai Pavilion's defense force has more than doubled. As long as you come to the door, you will see the Yuehai Pavilion. Under the entangled dark gold pattern, the guarding Qianyan Army.
Considering that they were still semi-wanted criminals, Ying and Paimon avoided the patrolling Qianyan Army and carefully waited under the rockery outside Yuehai Pavilion.
Finally, Famas arrived belatedly from the foot of Tianheng Mountain, holding a small brown-red wooden box in his hand.
"Huh? Haven't they arrived yet?"
Famas stood at the door of Yuehai Pavilion and looked around while holding the gift box containing the cake.
He thought he was late. Ying and Paimon had been waiting for a long time, but he didn't expect that they hadn't arrived yet.
Famas checked the wooden box carved with simple patterns in his hand to confirm that the words referring to Munata had been hidden, and then walked to the rockery of Yuehai Pavilion, trying to find a place to sit for a while.
"Don't make a sound!"
A slender arm suddenly stretched out from the shadow of the rockery and pulled Famas over who was humming a tune.
The unsuspecting boy in red was staggered and almost took the gift box out of his hands. Just when he was about to teach the person who pulled him a lesson, a familiar fragrance came from the tip of his nose.
"Ying, Paimon?"
"Why are you hiding behind the rockery?"
Famas tilted his head strangely and looked at the sneaky two men.
"Did you go to the roof again to dig out bird eggs and the owner of the house caught you?"
The young man in red remembered that after Ying came to this port city, he did a lot of things that were very confusing to the locals in Liyue.
For example, after walking into Heyu Teahouse, instead of listening to books or drinking tea, he happily took away the story books placed on the table for free reading, which were euphemistically called collection tasks of the Adventurers Association.
There are also all kinds of things like rummaging through boxes and cabinets, building beams and stepping on tiles. If the Qianyan Army hadn't been busy hunting down the assassins who murdered the emperor, they wouldn't have had time to deal with these trivial matters...
Wait, it seems that the assassin suspects are also Ying, Paimon and Famas?
If calculated this way, Famas is also accused of molesting Qixing Secretary Gan Yu, setting off fireworks illegally, and robbing Ningguang's Earthly Lock...
For several crimes, he should be punished with the death penalty.
"No! We are going to meet the distinguished guests of Tianquan Ningguang, so we will not do that kind of thing!"
Paimeng put his hands on his hips confidently, then lowered his voice and pointed at the Qianyan Army patrolling outside Yuehai Pavilion: "It's just... aren't we still wanted by the Qianyan Army? There are so many guards here..."
"It would be nice if we beat them all down."
After figuring out what the two were hiding, Famas waved his hand jokingly, and a spear made of flames appeared in his hand.
"Hey! Don't be so impulsive!"
Paimon hurriedly pulled Famas, the tip of his nose moved, and he looked at the box in the young man's hand.
"Is the cake ready?"
"certainly."
Famas nodded helplessly, then reached out and pinched Paimon's bulging cheeks.
"Since Ningguang invited us, of course the Qianyan Army's wanted order has been cancelled. Otherwise, we would have been caught by spies and informants everywhere while wandering around Liyue these days."
"Let's go. It's getting dark. We'd better go see this Lord Tianquan first."
The young man in red took Ying's hand and led him towards the meeting point under the Yuehai Pavilion, not paying any attention to the Qianyan Army patrolling everywhere.
"Ying, Famas, wait for me!"
Paimeng floated in the air and stamped his feet in aggrieved manner, and quickly followed.
A group of people emerged from the rockery and walked straight to the hut next to Yuehai Pavilion.
Standing beside the green floating stone was the contact person Ke Qing mentioned, Bu Yun.
The transmission of the Seven Stars decision was led by Yue Haitei, and then a group of people participated in summarizing and writing official documents, which were then sent to various places through the General Affairs Department.
Transferring personnel, adding facilities, guest agendas, shipping status... Countless policies and instructions were sent from this small floating stone to Qunyu Pavilion, all over Liyue, and they were comprehensive and precise in every place. Reform, maintain and optimize.
Buyun has been a connector at Yuehai Pavilion for many years, and has also received many people who were invited to Qunyu Pavilion. Most of them were wealthy merchants in Hong Kong, as well as diplomats and envoys sent by neighboring countries, so he also It can be regarded as a good reading of people.
When Famas pulled Ying and a little mascot over, Bu Yun saw them from a distance.
Ningguang had already sent Bai Xiao to tell him that there would be distinguished guests today, but when asked about the characteristics of the guests, Bai Xiao only said that they were acquaintances.
Buyun was puzzled at first. He had been the contact person of Qunyu Pavilion for so long, but he had never seen a businessman invited by Lord Ningguang to visit Qunyu Pavilion many times.
But when he saw Famas walking slowly and Ying looking around, he immediately understood what Baixiao meant by acquaintance.
This also made Bu Yun very curious. In the past, people who came to Qunyu Pavilion were usually either impatient or frightened. Famas was so calm and unconcerned, even indifferent. I am afraid that only Captain Beidou who made waves at sea could compare. .
"Hello, do you sell moons here?"
Paimon also saw the huge floating stone, flew to Buyun's side furtively, and whispered the code that Keqing taught them.
"Yes, how many do you want?"
Looking at little Paimon like a spy, Buyun's beard trembled and he smiled and nodded in response.
"It is not convenient to reveal the quantity."
Paimon still answered according to the code given by Keqing.
"Good answer, please ascend to the throne here."
Bu Yun bowed respectfully and asked calmly: "By the way, are you two the guests arranged by Lord Ningguang today?"
"That's right."
Upon hearing Buyun's question, Paimon immediately crossed his arms and responded proudly.
Not many people can receive Ningguang's invitation, they are basically the wealthy businessmen of Liyue.
However, the two did not present the invitation letter as guests, but used the secret code "Yuheng Charter".
Buyun had some doubts in his mind, but he still maintained good etiquette and raised his hand to signal the two women to board the floating stone.
"Your Excellency Famas can go to the side hall to rest for a while, and we will leave together after the discussion with Lord Ningguang is over."
Hearing this, Ying and Paimon simultaneously turned their heads to look at the boy in red with his arms crossed.
"See you at Ogihua Island."
"I also have something that I need to ask Zhongli for advice first."
Famas handed the gift box containing the cake to Paimon, waved to the two of them, and watched them step onto the green floating stone.
"Then it's agreed, Dihuazhou, see you there or not!"
Paimon lay on Ying's shoulder and waved vigorously towards Famas.
The floating stone slowly rose, and not long after, Ying and Paimon stepped on the floating stone and flew up to the magnificent Jade Pavilion.
