Perhaps it was the nature of the Condensing Light master that struck out. After several rounds of verbal provocations, the traveler and Paimon walked out of the Rock Reliance Hall in a cold sweat.
Mr. Zhongli’s vest almost lost its protection!
The sun was shining brightly outside the temple, and although there were still people kneeling in front of the Immortal Ancestor in the square to keep vigil for the emperor, most of the people still returned to their daily lives after worshiping.
Looking at the people passing by not far away, I felt a little complicated.
Zhongli, Zhongli, and I wonder if the emperor had already thought of today when he named himself?
The traveler followed Paimon to the southwest corner of the square to look for Famas and Wendy. When passing by the emperor's immortal body, he unexpectedly discovered that in addition to the people of Liyue, there were many people wearing strange armors and Prajna masks in front of the dragon body.
The samurai, holding unknown red bouquets in their hands, knelt on futons and presented flowers.
"Those are the ronin warriors who came to Liyue from Daozhu to take refuge. The bouquets in their hands are called Blood Dendrobium, which is also called "Red Rui" in Liyue poetry. It was once extinct on the Daozhu Islands... Legend has it that in the bloody
On the battlefield, these flowers will bloom particularly beautifully."
The woman's slow voice came from behind the traveler. The girl turned her head and met Ye Lan's emerald eyes.
"Miss Ye Lan, it turns out that you came to participate in the ceremony. Is your injury feeling better?"
Before the traveler could say a word of greeting, Paimon, who saw the visitor clearly, came to the visitor's side in surprise. The white and precious cloak behind him swayed with her movements, like an elegant and noble noble from Mondstadt, coming to participate in a song and dance.
It is as lazy and elegant as a Shengping banquet.
"Thanks to the concern of both of you, things are almost getting better."
Ye Lan smiled and nodded, her eyes following Paimon's flight path.
But the traveler seemed to be suddenly aroused, and after blinking, he asked Ye Lan for news about these Rice Wife warriors: "Miss Ye Lan, why do Rice Wife warriors give flowers to the emperor?"
"...The situation in Daozhu is not like Liyue. It is not a good place for holders of the Eye of God. It is difficult to explain the details in a few words."
Yelan played with the dice in her hand and considered her words, but the traveler keenly noticed that there was a faint blue bracelet on the other person's wrist. The bracelets on both hands were of the same style, and they were obviously paired.
"If you are interested in Inazuma's situation, I can ask my subordinates to send you a piece of information later."
A seductive smile appeared on the corner of Ye Lan's lips, and then she brought the topic to the rice wife warrior before the Immortal Ancestor's transformation.
"Liyue shouldn't interfere in Daozhu's internal affairs, but Ningguang has a close personal relationship with Captain Beidou, and Southern Cross is one of the few fleets that has an outlying island pass, so Liyue accepted many Daozhu who came to seek refuge and smuggled in.
people."
"Perhaps the wanderers who are far away from their hometown also know how to repay kindness, so they use the etiquette of warriors to keep vigil for the emperor."
Yelan was silent for a long time after saying this. Perhaps she was also infected by the sad atmosphere in front of Yiyan Palace. Miss Yelan, who never showed her true feelings, pursed her lips and looked towards Liyue South Pier in the distance.
"It is said that Dendrobium is a plant that is watered with blood. The more bloody and tragic the battlefield, the more magnificent and beautiful the Dendrobium will bloom. Mrs. Daozhime believes that the souls of those who died in the war will walk on the twists and turns paved with Dendrobium flowers.
The road leads to the beyond, to the eternal cycle of elements.”
"I know you are a traveler who never stops. I hope you will not forget us old friends during your travels... As long as you always remember me and bury me in your memory, even if I die unfortunately, I will always be there.
Have a place to live.”
"Eh? Miss Yelan?"
The traveler and Paimon raised their heads in confusion, wondering why Ye Lan suddenly said such words.
"Haha, maybe what happened recently has made me a little tired?"
Yelan raised her hand and pushed the short blue hair from her temples behind her ears, revealing her slender white neck, and her blue earrings reflected the faint light.
"You should have someone you want to meet, right? I won't waste your time...I will send someone to deliver Inazuma's information to the hotel where you are staying later."
Ye Lan put her head to the traveler's ear and whispered softly, exhaling like a blue breath, then turned and left without any nostalgia.
"Well, then...goodbye, Miss Yelan!"
The traveler was still recalling Yelan's gentle words in his ear, but the heartless little Paimon had already waved goodbye in a hurry in the direction where the other party left.
After this brief interlude, the traveler and Paimon continued to walk towards the agreed corner of the square. However, Yelan, who was supposed to have gone away, completed her disguise in a very short period of time and quietly leaned against the Rock Temple.
In a shady corner.
When the blond traveler and the little mascot accompanying him were far away, two figures quickly approached Yelan from the darkness at almost the same time, then quickly stopped and saluted the Youke who was hiding in the dark: "Sir, we still need
Continue to monitor the traveler?"
"No need for the moment, they are probably going to see "that Your Excellency"... Wenyuan, I will compile a piece of information about Daozhu's current situation and send it to Baiju Nilu; Shanghua, let you investigate Zhiyi's matter, what's the situation?
?”
Ye Lan frowned slightly and waited for Shang Hua's report with a cold expression, showing no trace of the sadness and weakness she had shown in front of the traveler just now.
Disguise runs through Ye Lan's work and life. She wanders among all kinds of people with various identities. She can easily extract information by changing glasses. She can casually fabricate false identities and throw them away immediately when changing people.
, then put on a new identity and continue to chat and laugh politely with people.
These things are commonplace for Yelan. One person with a thousand faces may be the most vivid summary of her. Even her invisible superior, Ningguang, the head of the Seven Stars, can hardly tell whether Yelan's words and deeds are temporary disguises.
It was still an inadvertent revelation of true feelings. After all, the other person seemed to be covered with a thick curtain, appearing mysterious, dangerous and charming.
"The student named Zhiyi does have a problem. In the past, he lived in poverty, and all his income was spent on studying, traveling and paying off debts. But recently, he has frequently helped his neighbors and market vendors, and often bought some for the children in Huyan.
Snacks and toys…”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The tax report of the General Affairs Department shows that his apparent income has not increased or decreased in recent years, so the source of this additional funds is very suspicious."
Shang Huayan briefly and comprehensively told Ye Lan the doubts discovered during the investigation, but Ye Lan frowned and already had some guesses in her mind.
She had also seen Zhiyi selling fish on the pier from a distance during the operation. Although Zhiyi seemed gentle and harmless at that time, Yelan's intuition told her that this student was not as simple as he seemed.
When she figured out where this illusion came from, Ye Lan, who was familiar with various disguise techniques, immediately became alert.
Through the disgust that occasionally showed in Zhiyi's eyes when selling fish, the abnormal trembling of his arms when handing candy to children, and the cautiousness and smoothness when discussing politics, Yelan came to the conclusion that the other party's nature was definitely not like this, but was always there.
Suppress your emotions, act gentle, and carefully create your character.
This is not surprising. Most adults wear masks to live their lives, but there are still a few people like Zhiyi who deliberately create a good reputation... As for why he does this, it is not difficult to guess.
"The next Tianshu Star selection is about to begin, and the General Affairs Department is also urging Uncle Tian to return to Liyue Port as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation."
After listening to Shang Hua's report, Ye Lan nodded to express her understanding, and then began to assign tasks: "Shang Hua, you go to Qingce Village..."
Halfway through the words, Ye Lan remembered Uncle Tian's thin and weak appearance in the photo, shook his head and took back the task, "Forget it, I will go there myself. In addition, temporarily stop monitoring the travelers and let the people at the Hall of Rebirth
The spies keep silent and wait until I come back from Qingce Village to make arrangements."
"clear!"
Shang Hua and Wen Yuan responded in low voices and left in different directions, quietly blending into the crowd of vendors watching the ceremony in Yiyan Hall. Ye Lan waited until the two figures disappeared completely before gently turning her hands.
The strange wrist barrier above, escapes into the illusion of water and mist.
