After the situation was under control, Keqing came to Han Tingli and saw him sitting on the stone, so she comforted him softly.
Han Tingli, who was still calming down, did not dare to neglect. He knew the identity of the woman who looked like a girl in front of him, so he immediately stood up and replied with a smile on his face: "It's not hard, helping Qixing with things is also a good thing."
Such an honor.”
"Tch, what can happen to him? My people have been protecting him the whole time. How can such a big man be frightened by this scene?"
The speaker was Beidou who also came over after seeing the situation under control.
I saw her carrying a giant sword and stepping on the soft sand of Yaoguang Beach. She spat out Han Tingli with an unhappy look on her face, then turned to look at Keqing and said.
"Now that the situation is under control, do you still need me to send someone to help you escort these people back? It might be faster to take a boat."
"No need, just leave the rest to the Qianyan Army. Likewise, I would like to thank Captain Beidou for his help this time."
"No need to thank you. Anyway, we agreed to cooperate."
"After all, this is the job of our Seven Stars. As the captain of the Southern Cross Fleet, it is actually inappropriate for you to come to help this time. Although it is cooperation, due gratitude is still necessary.
Anyone who can go so smoothly this time will get the spoils. Your fleet has done a great job and everything is as it should be!"
When Beidou heard this, he glanced at Keqing, and seeing her persistence, he stopped refuting anything.
boom--
She put the big sword down and inserted it into the sand with a "bang" sound. Beidou put his hands on the hilt of the sword. He didn't speak first, but first glanced at Han Tingli who was standing aside.
Han Tingli, who had been embarrassed for a long time, immediately understood after seeing the look Beidou gave him, and turned to Keqing and said.
"Lord Keqing, I'm going to rest aside first. You two can chat."
"Okay, do you choose to go back to Liyue Port with Qian Yanjun or take Captain Beidou's ship back to Liyue Port? If you go with Qian Yanjun, I won't participate in the escort because I have other things to do, but I want to come.
There won’t be any problems with such a short distance.”
"It's okay. I'll just go back with Qian Yanjun. I won't bother Captain Beidou. I'll retreat first."
Bowing slightly, he could already hear the meaning of Keqing's words: There was no point in going back with Qianyanjun. Instead, going back with Beidou might be an opportunity to build some good relations.
But Han Tingli still hurriedly waved his hand and refused the proposal of taking the boat.
He had already felt that Captain Beidou, whom he did not know, seemed to be somewhat hostile to him. This made him feel puzzled, but he also tried his best not to get close to him.
Beidou, the "Dragon King" is still very famous in Liyue, but the two really have no intersection, which makes Han Tingli a little confused.
After Han Tingli left, Beidou looked serious: "What you Seven Stars do is really interesting. Since you already have a plan, why do you still want to cooperate with me?"
The tone was not serious, nor was it a question, but it lacked the casualness when treating fellow crew members.
Beidou looked into Keqing's eyes and continued.
"That's not what Ningguang said when he asked me to cooperate."
In fact, this sentence was not finished, and there was still half a sentence left: Ouyang never mentioned to her that there was an undercover agent.
This is what Beidou really wants to ask. In her opinion, Qixing's behavior is like an insult to her - an insult to her ability.
From her perspective, the whole process of the incident was that, although the cooperation had been agreed upon, how come there was an undercover scene in the end?
This is simply unnecessary. In the past few days, the people in their Southern Cross fleet have already explored the Fluttering Beach inside and out.
She didn't even need Keqing to bring Qianyan's army, she could lead her people to clear this place out.
The only reason why she didn't take action was that when she talked about cooperation, she explained that she had to wait for Qian Yanjun to take action together.
As for evidence, the shipping boxes given by the General Affairs Department are all specially made. With this, there is no need for other evidence at all. One can catch everything accurately.
There is no need for another undercover drama.
This is also the reason why she doesn't have a good look towards Han Tingli. To put it lightly, more than half of her merits were removed for no reason. For this reason, Mo La didn't make much money, and she felt unhappy.
And to put it more seriously, it felt like she was deceived by everyone, and she didn't like this feeling.
Ouyang did not explain it to her in advance, which cast a shadow over their brotherly relationship.
So Beidou is now asking the whole story behind the scenes.
This of course does not mean that Beidou will disagree with Ouyang because of such a small matter. It is precisely because of trust that she wants to ask clearly, and will ask clearly in person in the future.
Real brothers are not afraid to ask questions. If they are unhappy, they should have honest and frank communication. It is easy to get into trouble if they hold each other back.
Beidou still understands this truth,
And she thinks that based on what Ouyang usually does,
I also understand.
Keqing didn't know Beidou's thoughts, but she also sensed his serious attitude, so she didn't mind revealing a little bit.
"This is a plan that was already set up at the Seven-Star Conference, and it was put forward by Ningguang as an insurance just in case.
When Ouyang recommended you, Ningguang thought it was his first time working with you, so he suggested adding such an insurance policy."
Tsk, that woman...
Hearing Keqing's answer, Beidou showed a confused expression, but he didn't dwell on the question anymore.
Let's turn to another thing.
"Our Southern Cross fleet will go to sea in the future. It will probably take more than half a month. We won't be able to come back until then. The specific time is really uncertain. Where should I find you then?"
"Hmm? Is there anything else you need to ask me about?"
???
During the question and answer, both of them looked at each other with question marks in their heads...
The atmosphere suddenly seemed a little awkward. Beidou sniffed and asked uncertainly.
"Ouyang didn't tell you that you wanted me to protect you?"
Um???
"He, why did he let you protect me?"
Seeing Beidou's expression that didn't seem to be fake, Keqing became even more puzzled: "I will take people to camp at Dihuazhou, and then start arranging road construction and canal digging. There are Qianyan Army all around, what else do I need?
Protect?"
"No, Ouyang told me before that when you go to dig the canal, let me follow you to protect you and at the same time clean up the members of the treasure thief group around you.
Didn't he tell you about this?"
"Absolutely not!"
quiet--
After the atmosphere was quiet for a while, Keqing thought for a moment and asked again: "Did I tell you about this before the Strata Abyss happened?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"That makes sense. He may have forgotten that after such a big thing happened in the Strata Abyss, he had too many things to consider. Maybe this matter was forgotten by him."
Seemingly explaining to Ouyang, Ke Qing continued: "But since I want you to help eliminate the treasure thief group, I am very welcome. Anyway, I will be in Dihuazhou for more than a month. You can then
Come find me there."
"Okay. See you later."
"Well, see you later."
The two waved goodbye.
Keqing turned around, not letting anyone see the arrogant look that flashed across her face.
Huh, how dare you underestimate me.
Am I someone who needs to be protected?
Me, am I really that weak?
snort!
With her purple twin ponytails swinging behind her, Keqing strode away.
The sun had completely set, and the street lights in Liyue Harbor lit up one by one.
On the playground, Ouyang was sitting in a wheelchair. This time it was Gan Yu who pushed him, and Shen He followed him. The three of them walked out of the military camp.
I have been staying in the military camp for more than a week. I originally wanted to stay until the end of the training, but today I have to leave.
Some things cannot be put off.
Ouyang was still thinking when he heard the gentle voice of Gan Yu pushing a wheelchair behind him.
"Ouyang, is it really appropriate to choose that place?"
"Nothing inappropriate."
"However, according to Liyue's tradition, we usually choose a more formal place."
"I'm treating guests to dinner and sending greetings. Isn't that formal enough?"
Hearing Ouyang's natural tone, Gan Yu was still a little confused.
"However, there is a loss of status there, and the other party is a businessman with some status in Liyue. They usually think very highly of themselves. You are also a Liyue person, so you should also understand that Liyue people pay attention to face."
"By treating them, I've given them a huge favor."
As soon as these words came out, Gan Yu knew that it was hard for him to persuade him anymore.
Looking at Ouyang sitting in the wheelchair, she felt that he was a little strange tonight, less steady and more showy.
She turned to look at Shen He, wanting to ask for some help, hoping that the other party would follow suit.
But in the end, Gan Yu found that Shen He didn't seem to see her eyes.
Walking aside silently without saying a word.
Why have these two people become so strange?
Gan Yu was curious, but didn't speak again.
Of course she understood what Ouyang said, but just because she understood, she wanted to make things smoother and didn't want to add trouble to these details.
You know, Ouyang said it was a treat, but the location he chose was a teahouse in Huyan.
Not to mention the location, not to mention the class, the greeting card says that I am inviting you to dinner, but the location is a teahouse. What should a person with a good reputation think?
But since Ouyang insists again and again, it's hard to persuade him. After all, he is just the secretary, and the other party is the seven stars who make the final decision.
There is a teahouse, yes, the name is "Youjian Teahouse". As soon as the sun has just set, bridal sedans appear here one after another.
Those who came down from it were all ore merchants with some status in Liyue Port and even Liyue as a whole.
Now the big boss, or the leader of the big chamber of commerce, is usually a figure that the common people of Huyan cannot see, but tonight they are coming here one after another like ordinary people going to the market, and entering the teahouse.
"Did you see that? That was the big boss of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, right?"
"Well, I also saw people from the Zhu family, the richest man."
"Hiss... Look, there are so many big shots here. What happened today?"
"I don't know, but I know there will definitely be something good to watch today."
"Hey...isn't that Mr. Mao Cai? Is he coming too?"
"Hey hey hey, go and bring a bench to the store next door. We can watch the show here tonight!"
"Yeah!"
The people were very curious, and while speculating in their minds, they also brought stools, fruits and tea one after another.
Many people were holding their rice bowls, eating, watching and chatting.
Needless to say, something must have happened in this kind of scene.
They like this kind of lively situation the most,
Relieve boredom!
in the teahouse,
The head of the Zhu family, the richest man in Liyue, and the big boss of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce nodded to each other after meeting.
After exchanging glances, there was no further communication.
He came to the seat with the name tag and sat down quietly.
Start to close your eyes and relax.
Apart from these two, the other businessmen were still chatting quietly in small circles.
"I didn't expect that Tianshu Star would gather so many people today. It doesn't seem like a good thing."
"Well, I feel like the person who came here is not a good person."
"Look at the Qianyan Army with three steps and one post all around. It's not the Hongmen Banquet, right?"
"What are you talking about? Let me see. It's just the first three things a new official has done since he took office. I want to give him a beating."
"Then this..."
Small groups are whispering in the corners. Although there are many Qianyan troops around, at least they don't look vicious at the moment.
In addition, the Ouyang who invited them had not arrived yet, so the businessmen who could not feel Ouyang's pulse felt a little uneasy, so they preferred to chat here to ventilate each other, decompress and find out some information at the same time.
As time passed and more and more people entered the teahouse, the atmosphere gradually became depressing.
Many people came back and found that no one knew what the specific matter was, but they probably guessed that it had something to do with the ore business.
After all, all the people who come here now are people who have business dealings with ores.
Seeing more and more people, coupled with the recent rumors flying all over the sky, many people have begun to feel pessimistic.
Although the bulletin board said that it would only be restricted for two weeks in total and there would be no restrictions after that, there have been rumors that there must be changes after the ore business.
Now that the two weeks are coming to an end, it turns out that this treat is indeed going to change the ore business.
Many people who are just struggling to support themselves have to feel sad in their hearts.
Although people from Huishan Hall originally purchased according to the market price, but looking at the current market situation, it is already a trend for ore prices to rise in the future. How can they, who do not have a strong capital, be able to compete with those big businessmen and chambers of commerce?
In addition, Liyue has recently promulgated a new law that miners' wages cannot be reduced casually. This has even increased the number of families with miners.
Many people looked at each other and saw something close to despair in each other's eyes.
Mao Cai Gong noticed the demeanor of everyone in the teahouse. Unlike others, he thought that he should be the one with the most stable mentality here.
Glancing at the two people in front of him who had closed their eyes and meditated after sitting apart, Mao Caigong felt disdainful.
Soon, the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce will be just a stepping stone for me!
The richest man in Liyue will be me, Maocai Gong!
His team of miners has sent the news back,
It was clearly written in black and white - the layered rock abyss was sealed, and no miners were sent to resume work this time.
Then the thing is very clear, the price of ore will definitely increase!
What else is there to say?
As the person who currently has the largest hoard of ore in Liyue, the price of ore on the market in the future will depend on my face?!
Thinking of his success, Mao Caigong had to drink tea to cover up the corners of his mouth that couldn't help but curl up.
He was really prepared too much for this,
Not only ore, he has also united with some businessmen with mining teams these days,
He began to extend his hands to the mining of ore.
Such complete preparations,
How to lose?
Although those ores were obtained by exploiting loopholes,
But that's also because of Seven Star's management issues.
Liyue has never heard of a businessman being punished for speculation.
I, Mr. Maocai, am not committing any crime.
The ore I got can be said to have been hoarded by me myself!
It’s completely a reasonable income!
If there is no evidence, it is not a crime!
If you want to blame, blame it on you, Qixing, for not thinking things through!
What is the average age of the heads of your family, Ouyang, Keqing, and Ningguang?
Just take it as a lesson if you suffer a little loss!
