Although their Northland Bank in Feiyunpo was also affected, he could understand it.
If the Fatui were the only ones in the entire Feiyun Slope who were not affected, wouldn't that clearly tell others that the Fatui were the ones who did it
I haven't seen that until now, the Liyue Seven Stars have not sent anyone to come and act sarcastic.
To sum up in one sentence.
As expected of an executive officer, you have taken everything into consideration.
As for Battousai who was far away at sea... ... no one would connect him with the executive officer on the shore.
After all, even if he took the fastest boat, it would take a whole day to travel between Liyue and the Death Star. How could he possibly run back and forth
"Mr. Battousai, you got up so early today."
"Well, we're about to land, and I'm not sleepy at all."
After greeting the person, Bai Luo continued to look at the mountain standing in the sea in front of him - Guyun Pavilion.
Guyun Pavilion, called the Forest of Steles of the Old Gods by the people of Liyue, was formed by the rock spear thrown by the Rock King during the Demon-God War, and below it is the place where the Whirlpool Demon Osel was suppressed.
"Um?"
Bai Luo was still wondering whether he would play wrestling with Osel or mahjong if he was suppressed in this place, when he realized that something on his chest was slightly hot.
He casually rummaged around and took out a crystal that had been polished to a round shape.
This crystal was dug out from Ba Che's head after he cut off her head.
Because Beidou and the others were afraid that this thing would attract Bache again, they did not keep it. In the end, Bai Luo collected it and hung it around his neck as a pendant.
I never thought that after arriving at Guyun Pavilion, there would be movement again.
That’s right, Bache is Osel’s wife. It is normal for her to have some reaction when she is in such close contact with her husband.
I just don't know Osel.
"boom-"
As soon as Bai Luo had the thought, dark clouds gathered in the sky and the sea surface began to become unstable.
The sails on the ship were blown up by the wind, and even several lanterns used for lighting were blown away.
“… … .”
Really? The Rock King isn't even dead yet, and you're planning to make some trouble
His hand unconsciously touched his reverse-blade knife, and Bai Luo was ready for battle.
But as the heat of the crystal subsided, the wind and waves gradually subsided.
But the rain did not go away with the wind, and covered the entire sky.
"What's going on?"
The noise made by Osel just now only lasted for a short moment, but it also attracted the attention of Beidou in the cabin.
After coming out of the cabin, she saw Bai Luo put his hand on the reverse-blade knife, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on her weapon.
"Nothing, it's just that there seems to be something on the land ahead that has ill intentions towards us."
Battousai had indeed heard about the Lonely Cloud Pavilion in Liyue, but he did not know where it was.
Therefore, Bai Luo did not directly call out the name of Guyun Pavilion here, but used it as a synonym for the land in front.
But it was these words that made Beidou frown.
The people of Liyue grew up listening to the stories of the Geo King. They also knew the reasons for the formation of Solitary Cloud Pavilion and were even more aware of what was underneath.
If it were in the past, perhaps she would have comforted Bai Luo and let her men move on.
But now, she had to change her strategy.
In fact, she also knew why the demons below reacted after her ship approached Guyun Pavilion.
After all, they had fought with each other's wives, and in a particularly unkind way, they brought his wife's head back to Liyue Harbor and sold it to Ningguang at a "high price".
The Inazuma ronin in front of him was the culprit who chopped off his wife's head.
If we go there now... ...even if the other party can't do anything to them because of the seal.
But it might be possible to use some small tricks.
For example, the strange wind and waves just now.
"Brothers, be quick. We will not rest in Lonely Cloud Pavilion tonight. Return to Liyue Harbor at full speed! We will try to reach the shore before dark!"
Putting away the weapon in his hand, Beidou climbed up to the observation tower nimbly and spoke loudly in the rain.
"But... the goods over there..."
Looking in the direction of Guyun Pavilion, Qian Yaner, the accountant lady wearing gold-rimmed glasses, asked hesitantly.
There is a high chance of returning empty-handed when going out to sea, which is the reality for most fleets.
But the Southern Cross Fleet was an exception.
They always come back with a full load.
But for some reasons, they will place part of the goods at the storage point of Guyun Pavilion. Later, when they pass by here, they will take some items with higher current value and bring them to the ship, and then put some goods that are not in circulation at present on board.
If the fleet does not stop at Guyun Pavilion and goes directly to Liyue, it will suffer losses.
For example, those things that are difficult to store in Guyun Pavilion.
"Don't worry about those things for now. The affairs of Liyue Harbor are more important."
Perhaps in order to prevent the ordinary ship merchants in the fleet from panicking, Beidou did not tell anyone about the commotion Osel had just caused.
However, most of the crew members on the Death Star vaguely understood what was happening.
When they looked at Guyun Pavilion again, there was a hint of fear on their faces.
The reason why Beidou had to go to Liyue Harbor at full speed was not only because he didn't want to rest in Guyun Pavilion, but also because he wanted to bring the news that the seal might loosen to Ningguang in Liyue Harbor.
As for Ningguang, whom she had been thinking about deeply... ...she was attacked by a strange drowsiness while handling official business.
She was not surprised, because if she guessed correctly... ... the Emperor should have come to her in her dream again.
Chapter 540 The Emperor in a Dream
Slowly opening her eyes, Ningguang realized that she appeared in an extremely empty world.
A huge sun was suspended at the end of the sky, dyeing the surrounding clouds blood red.
On top of countless floating or collapsed island-like entities, there are trees with golden leaves, which seem to be some kind of plants from ancient times.
What is most surprising is the foggy ground beneath your feet.
Ningguang didn't even know whether she was floating in mid-air or standing on solid land.
This is the power of the three eyes and five manifestations.
"Emperor!"
Looking at the figure wearing divine clothes and floating in the air, Ningguang lowered her head and half-knelt on the ground.
Not looking directly at the emperor's face is the most basic etiquette.
Although this was not the first time she had met the Rock King here, she was still shocked every time she saw the scene here.
"Do you know why I called you here this time?"
The Emperor's voice sounds like a man, a woman, a child, and an old man.
But no matter what the sound is, it gives people a very calm and reassuring feeling.
This is actually related to some legends about the Emperor. It is said that he often changes into various forms to travel around the world, so it is natural that he has so many voices.
"Emperor, Tianquan knows that he has committed a grave sin. I hope that you will let Tianquan handle the affairs of the General Affairs Department first. When the General Affairs Department is operational again, Tianquan will resign and step down from the position of Tianquan."
Ningguang said this without any hesitation.
The reason why she was able to sit on the throne of Tianquan was not only because of her talent, but more because of her importance to Liyue.
Even if she were given another chance, she would still deal with the current problem in this way without hesitation.
"Do you remember how many pages the Liyue Law Annotations have?"
The emperor did not ask for accountability, but instead asked this question.
Thousands of years ago, when Morax founded Liyue, he also formulated ancient laws to restrain and manage the people of Liyue.
Over the past thousand years, successive Heavenly Authorities have revised and organized each law one by one to make it conform to the social needs of Liyue at different stages.
"Reply to the Emperor, a total of 467 pages!"
Not to mention how many laws there are, the annotations alone account for their formulation, which total 467 pages.
In fact, before Bai Luo came to Liyue, this annotation only had 279 pages.
But because of the Emperor's instructions, Ningguang added nearly a hundred more laws, and the extra 188 pages were all annotations to the newly added laws.
And all possible loopholes are put at risk.
Of course... ... this is just what she thinks.
After all, Ningguang only filled the so-called loopholes from the perspective of a businessman, an ordinary person, and a villain.
As for the fun people
She will understand why many people would call out a certain name after knowing Bai Luo.
Bai Luo!!!
"So which one do you think you violated?"
The emperor's divine armor moved without wind, and his golden eyes glanced at her lightly. Countless overlapping sounds brought tremendous pressure to Ningguang.
Even though she knew it was only a dream, she still had a feeling that she would be executed by the Emperor at any time.
"First, offending the emperor is a serious crime."
Perhaps it is to establish prestige and deter villains.
The first law established by Emperor Yanwang is that one must not offend the emperor.
This law is also something that all Liyue people are very clear about.
Although the law has been relaxed a lot now, if Qixing wants to investigate further, anyone who dares to do similar things will definitely not escape the punishment of the law.
"What does it mean?"
"You are not allowed to draw swords against the Emperor, you are not allowed to speak rudely to the Emperor, you are not allowed to betray the Emperor, you are not allowed to impersonate the Emperor to cheat, you are not allowed to..."
As a Tianquan Star, Ningguang had already memorized these interpretations by heart, and some of the content was even compiled by her herself, so she did not feel any pressure to recite them in front of the Emperor at this time.
She just didn't understand why the Emperor asked her these questions.
"Then let me ask you, if I really wanted to take yesterday's responsibility in the name of the Rock King, but you issued the notice in advance, then did your behavior violate the laws of Liyue?"
"this... ... "
These words from the Geo King seemed a little unreal to Ningguang.
If she guessed correctly... ... the Emperor's current behavior could be considered as taking advantage of a loophole in the law, right
Because although there are corresponding laws in Liyue's laws, there are no corresponding interpretations.
Simply put, the emperor's words have completely cleared Ningguang of the charges.
Even if Immortal Jueyun knew about this in the future and wanted to come to her house to question her, he would be unable to do anything to her.
This is more effective than the Emperor directly forgiving her.
"You did a great job on this matter, so I called you over this time not to hold you accountable."
Countless overlapping voices condensed together, turning into a voice that was vicissitudes of life and full of a sense of age.
The Rock King, dressed in divine clothing, also slowly floated down, without the intimidating aura he had before.
But Ningguang still didn't dare to look up and continued to remain in a half-kneeling posture.
"Let me ask you, if Liyue no longer had the Rock King, how would you handle the current situation?"
The two people at the scene knew very well that the Feiyunpo incident was resolved so quickly because Ningguang relied on the name of the Emperor to resolve it.
