The sea breeze blew the dull hair on Gan Yu's head. She stood on the edge of the pier and looked at the sun that had just risen, curling up the corners of her mouth.
Last night's negotiation went very smoothly, which kept her in a good mood until now.
After finishing breakfast quickly,
Gan Yu stepped on the wooden board on the pier and hurried towards the school playground with a slightly faster pace.
The day has just dawned, and the entire Liyue Port has not yet woken up.
Passing through the dock from north to south, I watched cargo ships docked quietly at the dock. A few Qianyan Army soldiers on guard were still waiting for their shift to change. The dock without workers was now a little deserted.
"Click"
"Click"
The shoes made a crisp sound when they stepped on the wooden board, and the sound of stepping on them carried far away with the sea breeze.
Looking at the deserted dock, Gan Yu felt that the martial law these days had somewhat affected the operation of Liyue Port.
The loading and unloading of supplies is still slower than usual due to the martial law.
While walking and watching, Gan Yu kept everything he saw in mind and prepared to find time to talk to Qixing about this issue.
Soon, she arrived at the South Pier.
Different from the place just now, the main function of the North Pier is to receive merchant ships from various countries.
Although there are cargo ships here at the South Pier, only a small number of them can only be docked by merchants from Liyue. Most of the others are fishing boats used by ordinary people to go fishing.
At this time, these large and small fishing boats were also docked at the pier, but some people were already busy.
While passing by a small boat, Gan Yu accidentally caught a glimpse of an old man wearing a raincoat sitting on a small boat fishing.
Although she was originally curious about why someone came here to fish so early, she didn't think much about it.
It was important to hurry up - this place was not close to the military camp, and she didn't have much time to waste.
After walking a few steps, I felt that the other person's back looked familiar.
She stopped, thought about it carefully, stepped back, and asked in a somewhat uncertain tone.
"Is it Uncle Tian?...Are you coming here to fish so early?"
The former Tianshu Xing, now an ordinary old man, looked back in confusion after hearing the voice. When he found out it was Gan Yu, a smile appeared on his face and he said hello kindly.
"It turns out it's Sister Gan Yu. She's older and doesn't get enough sleep, so she came here early to fish."
As he spoke, Uncle Tian looked around and asked with some doubts.
"Sister Gan Yu, how come you are here? According to previous habits, shouldn't you go to Yuehai Pavilion?"
"The office location has changed recently. It's at school, so I've changed my route in the past two days."
"Oh, okay. I thought something happened. Hahaha..."
"Nothing happened."
Gan Yu shook his head, thought for a moment, and thought that the other party was worried about the series of crises caused by the accident in the layered rock abyss, so he continued to explain.
"You don't have to worry. Things that happened before you left your job are now being solved step by step. It won't be long before this crisis can be completely resolved."
"With Ning Guang here, her ability is enough, so I'm not worried. Well... I just have to remind her not to be too radical. Tianquan likes to calculate gains and losses when doing things. This is a good thing, but being too calculating can also cause problems.
It’s counterproductive.”
"You are mistaken. The person who is taking charge of solving the crisis this time is the newly appointed Tianshu, but I will remember your suggestion. Goodbye."
"OK, bye."
He waved goodbye and watched Gan Yu turn around and leave briskly.
Uncle Tian stood on the boat and waited, then turned around and sat down again.
He looked at the calm sea and thought in his mind.
The newly appointed Tianshu Star?
That noble Ouyang?
Gan Yu's answer was something he didn't expect. In his impression, the head of the noble family did not seem to be a person who understood government affairs, but in this case it could be considered a good thing.
It has been many days since he stepped down from Qixing's position. Now he no longer has the complicated mood he had at the beginning.
Now he has put aside all the confusion and reluctance in his heart.
Although he has worked for Liyue all his life, it seems a bit disgraceful to be "retired" now, but after these days, he has given up on it.
Even though he has reached the age of retirement, it is still an edict issued by the emperor himself, so there is nothing glorious about it.
However, without him to contain Tianquan and Yuheng, Liyue's process of human governance may be unstoppable...
Lord Yan, what are your considerations?
As his thoughts deepened, Uncle Tian's eyes gradually became distracted.
On the other side, Gan Yu quickened his pace and walked towards the military camp, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to his tent.
Okay, okay, I shouldn't be late.
Not daring to neglect, she came to the desk, hugged the prepared documents to her chest, left her military tent, and went to look for Ouyang.
"Ouyang, you...uh..."
Gan Yu opened the door curtain and was about to enter when he saw that not only Ouyang was in the military tent, but Shen He, Xingqiu and Chongyun were all here.
She glanced at Ouyang innocently, with a questioning look in her eyes, and was in a dilemma for a moment.
"It's okay, come in. We're done talking."
Ouyang glanced at Gan Yu helplessly, knowing that the busy day was about to begin again. Although he wanted to avoid it, he also knew that this was unrealistic.
"What's going on today?"
"There won't be much to do today. If you hurry up, I won't bother you again this afternoon."
I believe you as a ghost!
He had heard this kind of thing several times recently, and every time something came to him in the afternoon that he needed to take a look at.
The Sea Lantern Festival is just over a month away. At the end of the year, all the Seven Stars are very busy. Coupled with a series of events caused by the Strata Abyss, even the weekly Seven Stars meetings have been temporarily canceled.
Moreover, before Keqing left, she didn't know what the purpose was, but she trusted Ouyang to hand over all matters that required her decision-making to Ouyang's agent, leaving Ouyang with no way to refuse.
Keqing's departure was originally his initiative. Now that Yuheng's matter has been handed over to Tianshu's agent, Ouyang really doesn't know how to refuse.
Seeing that Ouyang had something to do, Shen He and the others left voluntarily.
Outside the military tent, Shen He looked at Chongyun and told him, "Just learn what Ouyang gave you and don't pass it on to others."
After saying that, he glanced at Xingqiu who was standing aside, and then left to train the soldiers.
After Shen He also left, Xingqiu, who was standing aside, raised his hand and touched Chongyun.
"Brothers..."
"Stop talking, you've seen it too. I really can't show you what I have this time."
Chongyun put a booklet in his hand into his arms.
This pamphlet was the method of suppressing the "Pure Yang Body" that Ouyang had mentioned before in the military tent. He thought that Xingqiu wanted to take a look at it out of curiosity, so he directly dismissed the other person's thoughts.
But Xingqiu obviously had no such plan, he whispered to Zhongyun with a strange expression.
"I don't want to read that thing of yours. I just want to congratulate you. You are really going to have a sister-in-law!"
"Huh? What are you thinking about? Be careful that my aunt hits you!"
Seeing that Xingqiu wanted to talk about this kind of gossip again, Chongyun rolled his eyes at him angrily.
"Ouyang gave this thing to me today because of the conditions my father agreed to so that I could get it. It has nothing to do with my aunt."
"No, when Ouyang gave you the pamphlet just now, didn't you notice that he also had a red string tied around his left wrist?"
