But if there was no Emperor, could Ningguang still handle this matter
"Replying to the Emperor, Tianquan had already drawn up several plans before issuing the order. This is just the optimal solution at the moment, so even if Liyue has no gods, Tianquan can successfully appease the people."
Ningguang's answer was firm because what she said was true.
Even the announcement made by the Thousand Winds Army instructor to the people of Liyue was somewhat different from the original version.
Her business habits allowed her to prepare several back-up plans for herself.
"Tell me about it."
The Rock King Emperor looked down at Ningguang who was half-kneeling on the ground with his pale golden eyes and gave an order.
He was also quite interested in the several plans that Ningguang mentioned.
In a sense, this dream is more like a test for Ningguang.
If she could pass this test, not only would the Emperor absolve her of all guilt through loopholes in the law, she would also have more power.
“Before the Feiyunpo incident, we had a lot of intelligence related to the Fatui. When the time comes, we only need to produce this evidence and blame the Fatui for this disaster, and we will be able to direct the public’s attention towards them.
Not only that, it would also cause their reputation in Liyue to plummet, allowing Liyue to continue to attack in diplomatic occasions and gain more say.”
Listening to Ningguang's answer, Emperor Yanwang nodded secretly.
Although there are some risks, it is still a good plan, and it also tries to reverse the bad impact into the good side as much as possible.
If Liyue is a godless place, this is indeed the best solution.
What made him feel most gratified was that there was already such a plan that could both preserve her position as the Heavenly Power and gain her a good reputation, but she still chose to offend the gods.
If she chooses to put all the blame on the Fatui this time, then the Fatui will definitely do a lot of small things in secret.
The ones who will be unlucky then will be the ordinary people of Liyue.
Between the ordinary people of Liyue and her own position of Heavenly Power, she chose the former.
This is exactly the divine power that Liyue needs most, and also the talent for human governance that the Emperor needs.
Chapter 541 The Emperor's Sigh
Afterwards, the Emperor asked Ningguang some more questions.
For example, the arrangement of emergency team members, the handling of disaster victims, and the compensation issues after these people wake up.
But Ningguang answered all of them, such as why certain personnel were arranged into the emergency team and how to solve the medical problems of the victims.
And just like before, she also gave several options, trying to take all factors into consideration.
For example, the factors outside the Fatui, the Treasure Thieves, and the Hilichurls' city.
“Well done.”
After listening to Ningguang's statement quietly, Emperor Geo did not hesitate to express his praise.
But this is not enough for him to give up all his power and change Liyue from being ruled by gods to being ruled by people.
Because there is still one question that Ningguang has not yet answered.
"Let me ask you again, if there was no Geo Emperor, and Liyue was invaded by the followers of the gods or even the demons themselves like its neighboring country Mondstadt, what would you do?"
"... ..."
When hearing this question, Ningguang fell silent.
It’s not that she didn’t know how to answer, but she sensed some of the Emperor’s thoughts.
I kept repeating how to govern the godless land. Could it be that my previous guess was right... Is the time for the Emperor to die
It's impossible
The gods live as long as the heaven and earth, and the lifespan of the Rock King cannot be measured in numbers.
But why does he always ask this question
“Don’t have the confidence to answer this question?”
Emperor Rock King was not disappointed, because for humans, rebelling against the devil was indeed too unthinkable.
Even in the era when the Thousand Waves Army was still called the Thousand Waves Group, there were not many people who dared to face the Demon God head-on.
"In fact, since Tianquan took this position, he has already made plans for this."
This matter is a secret and should not be disclosed casually.
But this is a dream, and the person in front of him is the Rock King Emperor, so there will be no problem even if he tells others about it.
Everyone knew about the luxury of the Qun Yu Pavilion, and they just thought it was a palace in the sky that she built to show off her wealth.
In fact, it can be considered the ultimate weapon against the devil.
As long as it is not like in the distant past, when so many demons come at once.
Ningguang will have the confidence to make them understand how reassuring the weight of the rock is.
"That's great."
Although Ningguang did not say what her methods were, Emperor Geo felt her confidence.
And he doesn't need to know the so-called means.
What he wanted to know was whether Ningguang was qualified to participate in this trial.
Now Ningguang's answer has given him an idea in his mind. It seems that he can consider signing the contract to end all contracts.
Well... ...and there is that unfinished contract.
Ningguang, who had been crouching, suddenly realized that her body was gradually becoming transparent.
She knew that this was the Emperor lifting his magic.
After hesitating for a while, she asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time.
She knew that this question might offend the Emperor, but for the sake of future plans, she had to get an answer from the Emperor.
"Emperor, regarding Bai Luo...how should we deal with him?"
The Rock King, who was also disappearing, paused for a moment and solidified himself again after hearing Ningguang's words.
He looked at Ningguang in front of him with a complicated look in his eyes.
He actually wanted to include Bai Luo in the test questions, but no matter how he looked at it, Qixing had no way of getting any benefits from that guy.
Plus he already has a new candidate, so
"You don't have to interfere with his affairs. I will handle it myself."
After hesitating for a moment, the Emperor gave Ningguang an answer that did not surprise her.
His meaning was very simple. He would try his best to prevent Bai Luo from causing trouble in Liyue, and would also find a way to exclude him from subsequent assessments.
But he didn't know that his words took on a different meaning when heard by Ningguang.
Although she did not see the slightly complicated look in Emperor Rock King's eyes, she was able to catch the slight sigh.
Why does the Emperor sigh whenever he mentions Bai Luo
Why would they rather leave the Demon to these so-called "people" to deal with, rather than letting them deal with the tiny Fatui executive officers
And he also specifically emphasized that we should take the initiative to deal with him.
All the answers seem to be apparent.
It seems that my previous speculation in Qun Yu Pavilion was most likely correct.
Regardless of whether it was a so-called master-disciple relationship or a mistake the Emperor made when he was young.
The relationship between them was definitely more complicated than she had imagined.
After responding to the Emperor, Ningguang gradually woke up from her dream.
She had just woken up from a dream, and she didn't even bother to wipe off the ink stains on her face from falling asleep on the documents, and walked straight to the intelligence wall.
All the information above was cleared by her one by one.
Then she picked up a new piece of paper, wrote down her thoughts, and pasted it on.
Countless pieces of information intertwined together have clearly formed a new idea in her mind.
Liyue... ...things are about to change.
"Be gentle! Don't damage the goods!"
"Be careful! That box contains fireworks for the Lantern Festival!"
"Don't drink next to the boat! What if you fall into the sea?!"
Early in the morning, the Southern Cross fleet entered Liyue Harbor.
The storm caused by Osel not only affected Guyun Pavilion, but unexpectedly, even Liyue Harbor was hit by continuous drizzle.
Although unloading cargo on rainy days is not a good idea, considering the situation later, Beidou decided to empty the Southern Cross Fleet and then find a way to get the hidden cargo back from Guyun Pavilion.
She is most sensitive to changes in the sea.
It must be unsafe there.
“It feels good to have my feet on the ground.”
Bai Luo did not pick up his oil-paper umbrella, but took the straw raincoat and hat handed to him by Wan Ye, and set foot on the stone road of Liyue Harbor together.
Beidou did not stop the two from leaving.
Or that's how she arranged it.
If you go to Guyun Pavilion again in the future, you must never bring Bai Luo with you.
But I feel uneasy if I let him cause trouble in Liyue.
So he simply arranged Wan Ye, whom he felt at ease, to be next to Bai Luo, whom he felt uneasy.
Even if he wanted to cause trouble, Manye would be there to stop him.
As for her
The storm in Guyun Pavilion was too strange. Her intuition told her that some major changes might happen there, so it was necessary to inform Ningguang of the news as soon as possible.
As for how the other party will deal with it later, it has nothing to do with her.
but
Standing under the eaves of the pier, Beidou stretched out his hand to catch the falling raindrops and fell into deep thought.
If things really went as she expected, they would develop in a direction that should not have happened.
Can Liyue really withstand it
Forget it, isn’t there still the Emperor
Let him worry about it.
Chapter 542 The Difference Between Battousai and the Instructor
Liyue Harbor has a history of more than 3,000 years, so it is nothing new to foreign tourists.
However, when passers-by saw the two Inazuma ronin passing by wearing straw raincoats and hats, they couldn't help but look at them sideways.
As we all know, Inazuma is now in seclusion, and there are very few Inazuma ronin in Liyue. In a sense... ... wild ronin are considered rare animals here.
"This is the residence arranged by Big Sister Beidou."
Arriving in front of an ordinary house, Wan Ye shook off the rain on his straw raincoat and spoke.
This residence was originally the home of a crew member on the Death Star, but since he followed Beidou, he made the world his home and almost always ate and slept on the ship, so no one lived in the house on the shore.
If it weren't for the special feelings that the people of Liyue have for the word "home", I'm afraid this place would have been sold by him long ago.
“It may look a little shabby, but it’s very close to Chihu Rock. When you open the back window, you can see the sea and the mountains. It’s a pretty good place to live.”
The reason why Wan Ye is so familiar with this place is that when he first came to Liyue with Beidou, the other party specially arranged him here, wanting him to get familiar with the situation here.
Although the situation here can be described as shabby compared to when he was the young master of Fengyuan family, he did not dislike it.
"We are all strangers in a strange land. You and I are both wanderers. It's good enough to have a place to stay that can shelter us from the wind and rain. Why should we be picky?"
