In the Longji Snow Mountain, in the wind and snow that never melts all year round, a girl braves the cold wind and walks forward with difficulty.
She had been walking in the snow-capped mountains for four days. Looking at the still heavy snow around her, the girl wrapped her hood tighter.
Break away the cold wind and continue moving forward.
night.
Crack - crack -
Fortunately, we found a cave and lit a fire, and the cold that penetrated our bones was finally relieved.
After resting for a while, the girl quickly took off the hooded robe she was wearing and shook off the snowflakes accumulated on it.
She was afraid that after the snow melted, the hood would get soaked, which would make her very uncomfortable.
This is her last piece of clothing to keep out the cold.
Everything was going on in silence, and the girl's golden hair looked very bright in the firelight.
After a long time, there was some slight movement outside the cave.
As soon as the girl picked up the sword at hand, she saw an abyss mage appearing at the entrance of the cave, saluting her.
"Your Highness."
Seeing that it was a mage, Ying put down the sword in his hand and sat down again to warm himself by the fire.
"What's up?"
"The matter in Liyue was ruined. We failed to seize the opportunity and were caught first, ruining the plan."
This is really bad news.
Ying looked at the fire with an expressionless face, and after thinking about it for a while, he did not continue the topic.
"Since it has been destroyed, forget it. I will go and meet the head of the family in person when I have the chance. Is there anything else?"
Master Abyss did not expect that this failure would not be punished by His Highness. He was overjoyed, but his attitude became even more humble.
"I have brought you good news. Diluc of Mondstadt has left Mondstadt. The defense there is now even weaker."
"Then let's start that plan."
"Yes, my princess. Your servant has resigned."
After saying that, the Abyss Mage waved his staff and disappeared.
The cave became quiet again, and the fire was burning. He stared blankly at the fire, as if he had penetrated the flames and "looked" elsewhere.
For a long time, I don't know what I thought of, but I murmured: "Brother..."
The next day, Liyue Port.
Early this morning, your mansion welcomed a guest, Zhongli.
In the study, when he saw Ouyang rushing over, Zhongli spoke calmly.
"My little friend, the appointed time has come, are you ready?"
"Okay, you can leave at any time."
"Okay, let's go."
After saying that, Zhongli walked out of the study first.
Ouyang was a little surprised, but he didn't object. He had almost arranged everything at home before, so there really was nothing to prepare.
It's just that I didn't expect the uncle to be so resolute and to leave as soon as he said so.
At the gate of the house, Ouyang explained some things to Guiping again, followed Zhongli's footsteps, and left the family.
Walking on the Yujing Terrace, looking at Uncle Zhongli walking in front, Ouyang felt a little unhappy.
The main reason is that there have been a lot of things recently, and each one needs to be arranged. If the system hadn't reminded him from time to time, Ouyang would have almost forgotten the agreement he had with Zhongli.
There was basically no free time for the brain, and the sudden reduction in load at this moment made me feel a little uncomfortable for a while.
But there was something he could discuss with Zhongli now.
"Mr. Zhongli, there is something I need to tell you."
"Oh? Please say."
"Do you have any opinions about the renovation of Liyue Port? This is the plan."
Ouyang said and handed the plan he had written before to Zhongli, which was also what he would give to Keqing later.
Anyway, Morax has not faked his death yet, so the uncle is still the highest authority in Liyue, and many things require his approval before they can be implemented.
The entire plan is to start from the aftermath of the Hua Shilong incident and advance step by step, thus changing the layout of the entire Liyue Port.
He originally didn't want to make it so big, but Ningguang's entry into the game took away half of the cake allocated to Keqing in advance. Ouyang had no choice but to make the cake bigger.
The surge in population will bring about changes in many aspects. Legal matters can be left to Ningguang to solve, but for formal implementation, most of the work requires the cooperation of Qingqing.
This is something that truly touches the foundation of Liyue Port. If the uncle doesn’t agree, it’s useless no matter how well you think about it.
As the two of them walked on the road, Zhongli didn't look at the plan in his hand, but asked Ouyang a question.
"Are you wondering why I didn't take action?"
Ouyang understood that the uncle was talking about Hua Shilong coming to cause trouble.
If we really want to be honest, the emperor should not have chosen to be invisible like Qixing in this matter.
Ning Guang had already sent the results of the interrogation to his house, so Ouyang already understood the ins and outs of the whole matter, and also knew Hua Shilong's ultimate purpose.
To put it more seriously, this is a rebellion.
To put it mildly, there is one person who is better than him. His brain circuit is so clear that he regards everything he sees and thinks as the truth.
He thought he had an opportunity and took action.
Putting aside Qixing's inaction, the fact that the matter made such a big fuss was actually caused by coincidences in many aspects, so Ouyang always thought it was a farce.
But now that the uncle asked this, Ouyang didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only act as a compliment.
"Do you have your own thoughts?"
"I said before that I found you to be very suitable for the position of Seven Stars. I heard some news a long time ago. The reason why I didn't choose to take action was because I wanted to see your methods and Seven Stars' response."
With that said, the uncle turned around and waved the plan in his hand in front of Ouyang: "So, are you sure you want me to see this now?"
Damn it!!!
This is for a general!
Ouyang understood Zhongli's words.
If he is really allowed to read this plan, it means that the emperor wants him to become a seven-star!
The two looked at each other for a while, then Zhongli turned around and continued moving forward.
Ouyang, who was walking behind, also took steps to keep up, but unlike the calm expression on his face, he was struggling in his heart and didn't know what to do for a while.
There is something complicated here. Without Morax's nod in this plan, everything is in vain.
Including the "future affairs" he prepared, most of them will be ruined.
His school can only "shrink" into its previous "nursery school" nature, because there is a high probability that it will not be able to maintain it.
Ouyang has his own little thoughts surrounding Xuanmen.
Those Xuanmen masters will be absorbed into Beidou or your family's fleet in the future.
When the time comes, your family will have a school to gain a reputation, and you will have good experts guarding you on a daily basis. Seven Stars will take care of important matters. Even if you are in dire straits, your family will still be able to call on immortals to save you.
Although these are all external and nothing is as secure as Ouyang's own family, under such circumstances, it is the limit of what he can think of.
At least those who "walk" won't be so hesitant.
All of the above are assuming that Ouyang will die. If this is the case, then there is nothing wrong with letting the uncle read the plan.
But now the situation has been changed by the uncle's words to the general.
Ouyang is annoyed to death by being from a noble family, why should he become a Seven Star?
Ouyang might really be locked up in Liyue, unable to move.
