"What's wrong?"
After noticing that Lin Feng had been staring in the direction of Guyun Pavilion, Youla asked curiously.
Guyun Pavilion is not an isolated island as imagined.
As the most important part of the legend of Liyue, this is a famous tourist attraction in Liyue. Almost all foreign travelers who come to Liyue and those who are interested in the legend of the rock god will come here to visit.
It can't be said to be a huge crowd of people, but at least it can be regarded as an endless stream.
Therefore, Youla and the others couldn't tell what Lin Feng was looking at.
"Tsk, I saw an acquaintance."
Lin Feng looked away, with a strange smile on his face.
Although I don’t know why Sora appears here.
But this is the only blood relative of Princess Abyss, and a lot can be done with him.
"acquaintance?"
Yula also tried her best to look far away.
But she looked for a long time, but didn't see anyone she knew.
Pantalone and the skirmishers also glanced at each other, but they also saw no one they knew.
"Is he a friend you met in Mondstadt before?"
Since he didn't know him, he must have been Lin Feng's friend before he met him.
"No, he's not my friend."
Lin Feng leaned on the railing and held his chin, smiling: "I know him, I'm quite familiar with him, but he doesn't know me."
What kind of acquaintance is this?
Yula and the others couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.
An acquaintance who is not an acquaintance.
In addition, Lin Feng looked like he was going to cause harm to others, and who knows who the unlucky guy he was looking for was.
Passed Guyun Pavilion.
It didn't take long for the passenger ship to arrive at the port.
Liyue Port is still as prosperous as ever.
The changes a few months ago did not seem to have any impact on the lives of Liyue people.
In addition to the passenger ships and cargo ships that come and go, at the southwest port of Liyue Port, a group of new armed ships are undergoing the installation and debugging of weapons.
"Ningguang is really willing to give up."
Lin Feng could tell at a glance that this was the new Southern Cross fleet.
All the ships used in this new fleet are new, and the equipment and facilities on the ship are also advanced to the naked eye. They are much more advanced than the weapons equipped by Qianyan Army.
no doubt.
The only person who can pay such a high price for Beidou is Ning Guang.
When I was in Liyue before.
Due to the conflict with Ningguang, Lin Feng directly destroyed the entire Southern Cross fleet in response to Ningguang, and used strong methods to frighten the Tianquan star, so that she did not dare to be his enemy again.
Those who went to do this at that time were skirmishers.
Therefore, when seeing this rejuvenated fleet, the skirmishers couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"Condensing light."
Pantalone read the name for a moment, then shook his head and sighed.
When he left Liyue.
Ning Guang had not yet become famous, and the Liyue Seven Stars at that time were completely different from the Liyue Seven Stars now.
in the days that followed.
He used his secret agents to carry out various infiltrations and plunders on Liyue, causing all the seven stars in Liyue to suffer.
But after this Ningguang came to power, his various methods began to fail.
Even the coat of exotic monster skin that he presented to the Queen was snatched away by Ning Guang's spy chief named Ye Lan.
Although he also destroyed one of Yelan's bracelets in that battle.
But his treasure was actually taken away, but he didn't get anything back.
No matter how you look at it, you can consider yourself losing a city.
This made Pantalone extremely angry.
It was precisely because of this defeat that he got in touch with Lin Feng, his enemy, and destroyed Liyue's bank in one fell swoop, allowing Beiguo Bank to gain a firm foothold in Liyue Port.
Just look at it now.
He couldn't tell whether being on the line with Lin Feng was a good thing or a bad thing.
No Lin Feng.
Beiguo Bank would not have such a strong influence in Liyue, and he would not get an opportunity to use the Heart of the Rock God to ascend to the gods.
But the problem is also after getting to know Lin Feng.
His Beiguo Bank was gone, and he had become a double traitor, someone whom Zhi Dong didn't want to see, and Li Yue hated with all his heart.
"Hey."
"Why do you think so much?"
"What is mine will be mine if I don't fight for it. It is destined not to be mine, and even if I try hard, there will be no results."
Thinking of this, Pantalone was relieved, and a smile appeared on her serious face again.
Walking on the streets of Liyue Port again.
Everything around me is so familiar yet strange.
This feeling was not only felt by Pantalone herself, but Lin Feng and Yula who had just left not long ago also felt this way.
Liyue Port seems to have not changed, but it seems to be different somewhere.
However, this matter had no impact on Youla and Kelai, who had just arrived. They said something to Lin Feng and went to play in Beiguo Bank.
Lin Feng had no intention of playing, but thought about what was different about Liyue Port for a long time.
It took a while.
Only then did he find the problem.
The layout of Liyue Port has indeed remained unchanged.
But the atmosphere in Liyue Port has changed.
Apart from the usual port, the tense atmosphere in Liyue Port City is extremely obvious, and you can feel it even walking on the street.
specific performance.
First, there are more Qianyan troops patrolling.
The second is the silence of storytellers.
Lin Feng and the others walked around the street without seeing any of the familiar storytellers.
The bustling tea stalls in the past were all silent, and the tea patrons were drinking tea there quietly. No one dared to express any opinions on the current situation in Liyue.
"Gagging order?"
Pantalone, who was very familiar with Liyue, could tell what was going on at a glance.
"Gagging order?"
"Yes, when something happens to the top management in Liyue, an emergency decree will be issued to prevent public opinion from interfering with public sentiment."
"Tsk, isn't this my nemesis?"
Lin Feng complained.
What he is best at is to manipulate public opinion to harm social order.
Liyue's gag order was just enough to restrain his own public opinion offensive.
However, judging from Pantalone's words, this gag order cannot be issued at any time, but is a decree that will be issued when Liyue falls into an emergency.
"It seems that the political reform in Liyue is not going very smoothly, otherwise Ningguang wouldn't do this."
Lin Feng chuckled.
Pantalone also heard about Liyue's initiative to seek reform. When he learned that Qun Yu Pavilion had taken the initiative to land, he was shocked.
Now that Lin Feng mentioned this matter again, he asked: "How did you convince the Tianquan Star to give up his rule at that time?"
Until now.
Pantalone still didn't understand what Lin Feng did.
If a person has not reached the peak of his rights, there are still ways to make him give up his rights.
But Ningguang is the first person among the gods who has no mercy in Liyue. When it comes to power, Immortal Liyue's reputation among mortals is even far less than what Ningguang is eating.
But it happened that she was such a woman with the highest power. When the gods were about to delegate power, she chose to give up her rights. Instead of taking advantage of this good opportunity to try to seize higher authority, she was willing to be a real Mortals under gods.
In Pantalone's eyes, this was absolutely impossible.
At least he absolutely cannot do this.
Looking at his complicated expression, Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "If I told you that she came to her and chose this matter before I said anything at that time, would you believe it?"
"impossible."
Pantalone said firmly.
Take the initiative to come to your door.
How can this be.
If Lin Feng said that Ningguang was threatened by him, even if he was tricked by him into doing this, Pantalone would accept it.
The only thing he didn't believe was that Ningguang came to him on his own initiative and chose to give up his rights. Even if he were killed, he wouldn't believe that such a thing would happen.
"Haha, believe it or not."
Lin Feng curled his lips and did not continue talking about this topic, leaving Pantalone to rack his brains and weave various reasons for Ningguang.
Skirmishers couldn't match them, and they had no interest in Liyue's things.
that's all.
The three grown men walked to Beiguo Bank in silence.
Standing in front of the familiar gate, Pantalone stood there with an inexplicably complicated expression.
This was originally his biggest asset.
Now it has become Lin Feng's private property.
What's even more ridiculous is that he gave this away just to retaliate against Ning Guang's ridicule to him.
"well--"
Facing the situation that seemed like yesterday, Pantalone sighed again.
From being richest in the world to having nothing.
He didn't know whether to lament the uncertainty of fate or whether he was seeking death too much.
"It's useless to sigh. I won't return the sigh to you."
At this time, Lin Feng was still making sarcastic remarks: "I have carefully managed this place to become the largest foreign-funded bank in Liyue. Don't even think about picking fruits."
"Pick fruit?"
Pantalone had never heard such a word before and was slightly startled.
But these words were easy to understand. He quickly understood, shook his head and said: "I'm already like this, why should I pick your fruit?"
"Hey, who knows what the hell you're thinking."
"you!"
Pantalone, who had been scolded by Lin Feng all the way, turned her head angrily: "I don't have the same experience as you."
"Hmm."
The two bickered and entered the Northland Bank together with the stragglers who looked like outsiders.
Compared with before Lin Feng left.
Northland Bank's business has expanded a lot.
Although it no longer handles loan sharking business, Beiguo Bank has become the best investor in Liyue with Ningguang's support.
Only a few people come to handle business, and most of them are shops that come to attract investment with various documents.
All kinds of people were coming and going, and it was actually several times busier than before.
When the guard guarding the door saw Lin Feng and the others coming in, he originally planned to step forward and ask what kind of business he was dealing with, but when he saw Lin Feng's face clearly, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said in surprise: "I have met you, sir."
His move also immediately attracted the attention of others in Beiguo Bank.
Then the news of the return of Senior Inspector General and the boss behind Northland Bank, Troy Schneitzvich, quickly spread throughout Northland Bank.
When Andre, who was now the general manager, heard the news, he immediately put down the business he was doing and rushed to the second floor of the bank in excitement, and came to Lin Feng.
And when he saw Pantalone, his excitement immediately cooled down. He instinctively knelt down and shouted respectfully: "Lord Pantalone, you are here."
"You seem unhappy that I'm here."
Andre's attitude made Pantalone very dissatisfied.
No matter what.
He is also the former boss of Liyue Beiguo Bank.
As a result, when Andre saw Lin Feng, he wanted to rush forward and call him "dad", and then he saw himself looking like this?
"My lord, Andre doesn't dare."
Hearing Pantalone's words, Andre quickly lowered his head and responded in panic.
"snort."
Pantalone snorted coldly and did not continue to lecture him.
However, Lin Feng said angrily beside him: "Don't scare Andre, he is my subordinate now, not yours!"
"."
Pantalone felt a little uncomfortable with the rebuke, so she waved her hand and sat down on the main seat.
This was his last bit of stubbornness.
People can lose, but the momentum can no longer lose.
Sensing that the atmosphere between Lin Feng and Pantalone was a bit subtle, Andre didn't dare to raise his head even more, and kept wondering in his heart what Lin Feng and the others would ask him later.
Without letting him wait long, Lin Feng asked: "What's going on with Liyue recently?"
"Liyue reforms, but businessmen are dissatisfied with this and are demonstrating collectively."
Andre's answer was concise and to the point.
"Demonstration?" Lin Feng raised his eyebrows: "Didn't I kill all those thornheads before I left? What kind of demonstration were they? And I didn't find anything unusual when I walked this way."
"Sir, you don't know something."
"The person taking the lead is a young man named Zhiyi."
"He is a student of the original Tianshu Star."
"The cause of this incident is that Liyue implemented the reform system. Most of the other Seven Stars' subordinates have obtained key positions, but Zhiyi has not obtained real power."
"So he united with his seven-star subordinates who also didn't get positions to start a protest."
"This Zhiyi is a very capable person, and what he does is also very covert. When he suddenly launched an attack, the people in power in Liyue were caught off guard."
"And this person is very smart. He knows that Liyue's basic business is the port business, so he did not disrupt the port business. He focused on the small merchants and hawkers, and spread a lot of Seven Star shady stories and some similar things. The new version of the policy, which seems to be true and false, has caused huge panic."
Andre reported everything that happened recently.
After Lin Feng listened carefully, he sneered and said, "It's really interesting. Ning Guang asked me to get rid of those big businessmen, but I didn't expect that I was made disgraced by such a stupid young man."
"Tsk, tsk, now that this guy has taken the lead, he has put himself in a safe place."
"It's interesting. I never realized before that this Zhiyi is really capable."
"Gagging order."
"Gagging order? Haha."
"What idiot came up with this idea."
"Issuing a gag order at this time doesn't play into Zhiyi's plan? The people will only become more and more dissatisfied, and by then there will be no closure."
"It's stupid, it's so stupid."
