The cloaked man did not follow Gu Sanqiu out of this place, but disappeared directly and went to do some business somewhere else.
Dadalia, on the other hand, was thoughtful, and then looked at Xingqiu, who suddenly felt relaxed.
"This person's identity is not simple."
Xingqiu smiled: "The person with the most extraordinary status is gone. Don't worry. That cloaked brother or sister is just an ordinary staff member of the General Affairs Department."
"General Affairs Department?"
Everyone was stunned, and then an idea flashed in Wu Yuminglei's mind, as if he had grasped a certain key point.
"Could it be that you, Liyue, did what happened this time yourself?"
Wan Ye also understood the key: "It is very possible, and every force or individual who helps deal with this matter should have a cloaked man behind to protect him."
Xiang Ling was a little confused, and Guo Ba beside him also scratched his head, his big eyes filled with wisdom.
Xingqiu frowned, then shook his head and nodded again.
Yaya was helpless: "Don't be like that guy Sanqiu. If you have something you can't say in one breath, remember to match it with your own judgment."
Xingqiu immediately refused: "Don't compare me with that psychopath, I'm a normal person."
"That person belongs to the General Affairs Department. This is our first level of judgment, and the basis for the judgment is the token he holds in his hand. It requires two Seven Stars to sign orders at the same time before it can be mobilized."
"Then there is the second judgment. This incident must have been ordered by the General Affairs Department. The source is that when Sanqiu was about to go with us to explore the earth line explosion, that person came out and asked Sanqiu to return to Liyue Port."
Xiang Ling suddenly realized: "You mean, the squad leader does not need to participate in this incident, or do you mean that someone does not intend to let him participate?"
Xingqiu nodded: "That's pretty much what it means, but the reason is wrong."
Dadalia suddenly said: "Is it because he is very powerful?"
Xingqiu nodded: "Yes, this is not so much an emergency or accidental situation as it is a test."
"test?"
Chongyun's slightly confused voice sounded: "What test? Do any of you want to take it?"
...
Xingqiu slapped Chongyun on the head very neatly.
"Don't disturb my train of thought, just listen!"
Chongyun looked confused, but still chose to remain silent, feeling that the world had changed after he recovered.
Wu Yuminglei frowned: "What kind of test can be carried out in such a dangerous form, and what is it for?"
Xingqiu took a deep breath: "You have just arrived in Liyue not long ago, so you may not know much about some things. This is my last guess, and it is also the reason why Sanqiu returned to Liyue Port so happily."
"For the sake of coordination."
Xingqiu, who was far away in the wild, and Ningguang above the Jade Pavilion, both of them slowly said this sentence.
Just four words, but Gu Sanqiu was speechless.
"Sister, even if you want to coordinate these things, you don't need to cause such a big fight. What are you trying to do?"
Ningguang smiled and walked over, grabbed Gu Sanqiu's ear, and started pulling.
"Don't question your sister's strategic judgment, okay?"
Gu Sanqiu raised his hands to beg for mercy: "Okay, okay, I don't care about why this happened. What I care about is the reason why you did this."
"Of course it's for calculation, to calculate how many powerful people there are among the people that we haven't recorded."
Ningguang handed the document to Gu Sanqiu: "Read it for yourself. After reading it, you should know why we did this."
Gu Sanqiu took it and scanned it roughly, and then suddenly realized.
Valley
"So that's it. The Earthline outbreak is just an excuse. You want to see how many people are hiding their secrets in Liyue Port."
"But yes, it is a rare situation like the outbreak of earth veins. Money and silk are very attractive, so it is understandable that most people choose to take action."
Gu Sanqiu put down the document and looked at Ningguang.
"What is the purpose? What is the purpose of doing this? Recording the strength and approximate number of these people. This should be just a prelude to the final goal."
Gu Sanqiu smiled: "Or, sister, are you planning that thing too?"
Ning Guang also smiled, and the smiles of the two siblings were a little unpredictable at this time.
"Of course, otherwise why would you spend so much time to do this? Besides, is there anything wrong with doing this?"
Gu Sanqiu sat down, put his legs on the desk in front of Ningguang, and was quickly hit in the head by a piece of white jade paperweight.
"Sit in a sitting position and put your feet down!"
Gu Sanqiu touched the place where he was hit on his head.
"Is this the result of Keqing coming to discuss with you, or is it that you have been assimilated by her, sister?"
"Of course not, this is just a businessman's purest sense of crisis."
Ningguang smiled and said: "The emperor has always told us what to expect in the new year, and after that, everyone will work hard in that direction, or work hard, just for every penny."
"But what if one day the emperor is gone?"
Ningguang's tone became calmer: "Without the emperor's instructions, will Liyue Port be stagnant and unable to do anything?"
"Then what's the difference between us and the young birds that only open their mouths to swallow food in the bird's nest? The emperor hopes that the people of Liyue can grow into eagles that flap their wings for nine days, instead of being young birds for a lifetime."
"Do you know the fable about the medicinal materials in the glass bag?"
Gu Sanqiu nodded: "The precious medicinal materials that grow on the mountain walls were often considered by the ancient Liyue people to be rewards from the gods after solving difficulties. They told people to work harder and reap the rewards, which is pretty much what it means."
"In recent years, as you mentioned to me, Liyue has changed."
"Addicted to flashy and rotten desires, arrogant and arrogant on the surface, intoxicated by the inexplicable arrogance brought by the people of Liyue, or the people of Liyue Hong Kong, I feel that I am superior to others, and the weight of Mora is even higher than that of more precious things.
s things."
Ningguang smiled: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't compare Mora with them. It's the general equivalent given by the emperor to this world. They don't deserve it."
"In short, Liyue has changed, and is even moving towards the old aristocratic era in Mondstadt's history. This is a trend, and it is also seen by many people."
Gu Sanqiu nodded: "So, are you preparing secretly?"
"Yes, someone deliberately leaked the information to some people who did not abide by the law. This is what we meant."
Ningguang said calmly: "Before controlling multiple forces, a slightly cleaner formal department is necessary."
"In other words, only a relatively clean Seven Stars and Eight Gates is worthy of coordinating various forces and planning Liyue's future."
"Okay, cruel enough."
Gu Sanqiu gave a thumbs up: "As expected of my sister, so fierce!"
Ningguang smiled: "Ha, compared with your brother who doesn't know when he will start a small-scale massacre, it's still a little worse."
"Hey, I don't want the Sanxuanhui's property anymore, why am I still talking about this?"
Gu Sanqiu was helpless: "But how did you manage to trigger the earth veins to explode? I want the price of this secret method."
"Ah? Who told you that we were responsible for this incident? We just happened to meet it."
Ningguang smiled and touched Gu Sanqiu's head.
"I asked you to come back. In addition to not disturbing our plans, I also have a task for my lovely brother."
"Go and find out who dares to cause trouble in Liyue and chop him up. If you have the chance, I'll chop up the strength behind him as well."
