After all, the knife was originally aimed at him, and he knew better than anyone how powerful it was.
At this moment... he didn't know whether he should pray for the other party to return safely, or it would be better for him to die outside.
Seeing the slightly conflicted expression on Bai Luo's face, Rosalin thought he was afraid that her going to Inazuma would disrupt his plans there, so she spoke to comfort him.
"Don't worry. The mission I received is to ensure that Morax's Heart of God is safely in hand. I will not rashly go to Inazuma before he hands the Heart of God to you."
If we were to ask what Bai Luo is most famous for among the Fatui, it would definitely be his planning.
Every action, every movement, and every word needs to be carefully considered. This is not only circulated among ordinary Fatui, but also known to the Fatui executives.
In addition, considering Bai Luo's reliable performance when working under them, they would naturally believe this statement.
In Rosalind's opinion, Bai Luo definitely left a backup plan in Inazuma that the Fatui executives were unaware of. He didn't want to let himself go there because he was definitely afraid that the presence of an executive of this level would affect his layout.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he made the scattered soldiers "disappear".
"I heard that Liyue is a place where thousands of ships gather. It is worth a visit. It's up to you now, Anatoly. Don't let us down."
Standing up gracefully, Rosalin also left the Rock Tea House.
However, her choice also made Bai Luo feel relieved. At least she would not die inexplicably at the hands of General Lei Dian.
After the two main people left, Bai Luo also planned to stand up and make preparations.
Since Morax has given him sufficient power, he will naturally not let the other party down.
He will give the other party a big surprise.
But when he was about to stand up, he found that he couldn't lift his feet at all.
Only then did he remember that after the two men had tied him up here, they left without letting him go.
"You two should let me go first!!"
Ningguang seldom left the Jade Pavilion. Ever since Emperor Yanwang granted her ample power, she spent most of her time making plans in this heavenly palace.
Especially a few days ago, in order to perfect the new laws proposed by the Emperor, she even found that her hair was starting to fall out.
After the incident of the strange noise at Feiyunpo was over, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. Before she had recovered completely, the Emperor used his magic to send her a dream again.
"Instructor Zhidong, you don't need to keep a close eye on him for the time being. As long as he doesn't do anything that endangers Liyue's foundation, there's no need to push him too hard. I will handle it myself."
She had long realized that there was some unclear relationship between her own emperor and the instructor of the Fatui.
But she really didn't expect that the Emperor would be so lenient towards him.
Even if he is my biological son, it's no more than this, right
Could it be that the other party was really the trouble caused by the Emperor in his early years
But they don't look alike.
Ningguang wanted to keep an eye on this dangerous executive officer at all times, but since the Emperor had spoken, she had no choice but to obey.
Regardless of whether the Emperor has delegated power recently, Liyue is ultimately his Liyue, and he is just an employee.
The carriage gradually came to a stop, and the servants who were accompanying it also walked in front of the carriage and bowed slightly: "Lord Ningguang, we have arrived."
"Well, you guys go back first and come pick me up later."
After calming down, Ningguang picked up the food box beside her, took up the wine she had carefully selected, and got off the carriage with the help of the servants.
The carriage stopped at a remote cottage on the outskirts of Liyue City.
There are many small houses like this nearby.
These were built by some wealthy people in Liyue who wanted to find a secluded place after getting used to the noisy life in the city.
But the cabin in front of her was not occupied by an ordinary person.
I still remember the last time I stood in front of the door of this wooden house, the other person was just an ordinary person.
It was after that meeting that she became the original god.
After the bet with the instructor ended this time, Ningguang heard that she had won the bet.
Because on her back, there was a shawl that no one had ever seen before.
But strangely, the mysterious bracelet on her wrist also disappeared. It was said that she gave it to a friend, Battousai.
But after the gambling game was over, there was no news of Battousai in the entire Liyue.
After finishing the gambling game with the instructor that day, Ye Lan was the only one who came back.
She probably guessed something and knew why Ye Lan came back to the cabin again.
When Ye Lan came to her that day and said that she would negotiate with the instructor at Tianheng Mountain and asked her to help make the arrangements, Ningguang could see that her special intelligence officer should have regarded Battousai as his partner.
It had been a long time since she had truly regarded another person as her partner.
She never thought that Battousai, whom she regarded as a partner, would die in front of her like her previous partners.
Ningguang could imagine how devastated Ye Lan would be now.
The last time this girl was able to find a way out, perhaps it had something to do with the Eye of God she obtained.
So what about this time
After experiencing the pain of losing her partner again, can she hold on
Chapter 596 Ye Lan's New Mission
Ye Lan did not tell anyone about the matter between Battousai and the instructor, and even Ningguang didn't know about it.
She knew that as an intelligence agent, this kind of thing was a taboo.
If the instructor took advantage of this information gap and did something irreparable to Liyue, it would be fatal.
How to say it... Maybe she still has a hint of luck.
First of all, since the instructor dared to reveal his identity in front of her, it meant that he had given up his identity as Battousai. After all, they knew each other's identities well.
Secondly, through this period of contact, she had also seen some of Bai Luo's character.
Maybe it's a little bit bad, but it can't be said to be terribly bad.
It can even be described as a "prank". I believe he won't do anything too big.
The last and most important point.
In fact, until now, she is still thinking about one thing, are Battousai and the instructor really the same person
Even though Bai Luo had turned into Battousai in front of her, who could guarantee that this wasn't just some trick
She had seen similar methods when she was on a mission in a foreign country before.
Before she could investigate thoroughly, she still had some doubts about whether the instructor and Battousai were the same person.
Telling her employer information that she is not sure about is immoral and against her professional ethics, and she may even lose the trust of her employer.
So she chose to hide it.
"It seems that your situation is better than I thought."
Looking at Ye Lan, who was walking back slowly from the suburbs holding two hares with arrows stuck in their bodies, Ningguang's worried expression improved a lot.
At least she didn't shut herself in the house as Ningguang imagined.
"I guess my vacation isn't over yet?"
Holding the hare in her hand, Ye Lan asked.
After the last incident, perhaps because she noticed that something was wrong with Ye Lan, Ningguang took the initiative to give her a vacation.
She didn't expect that the other party would come to her again so soon.
"Let's have a couple of drinks together?"
Ningguang said, holding up the food box in her hand.
This high-end food box decorated with exquisite patterns is obviously the work of Liuliting, the representative of glass cuisine.
"Let's talk inside."
Ye Lan took out the key, opened the door, and made a gesture of invitation.
To be honest, when it comes to eating, two people may not necessarily be able to eat together.
Ye Lan likes spicy taste and can even eat Jueyun pepper as her staple food.
Ningguang is different. The food she likes is very simple, just boiled cabbage. She really can't like food with too strong taste.
Therefore... ... this so-called dinner was just an excuse for the two of them to talk about things.
"The Immortal Invitation Ceremony is approaching, and you actually have the leisure to come to me. Is there something wrong?"
Ye Lan asked while fiddling with the cooked rabbit on the grill.
Ye Lan knew better than anyone how important the annual Immortal Invitation Ceremony was. And this year, it was Ning Guang's turn to host the Immortal Invitation Ceremony. She actually came to him at this time, so there must be something going on.
"Yeah, it's quite a big deal."
In the face of the fine wine, Ningguang had no intention of drinking it. Instead, she gave a bitter smile.
As the Tianquan Star among the Seven Stars of Liyue, only a few people can see this expression on her face.
Liyue Harbor already had the instructor as a nuisance, but recently the lady from next door also came over. On the surface... she was just shopping in the Liyue Market and didn't do anything too out of the ordinary.
But Ningguang couldn't just sit there and watch.
Two Fatui executive officers gathered in Liyue Harbor at such a sensitive time. Even if they did nothing, they would muddy the waters.
In addition, news came from his subordinates that a traveler who had recently become famous in Mondstadt had appeared at the Wangshu Inn, and it seemed that her goal was also to perform the ceremony of inviting the immortals.
Ningguang had a premonition that something big would happen during this year's ceremony to summon the immortals.
"So, it's my turn again?"
Ye Lan paused in the process of spreading the sauce on the rabbit and looked at Ningguang.
She wasn't surprised.
As Ningguang's special intelligence officer, she sees Liyue's current situation more clearly than anyone else.
In fact, even if Ningguang didn't come to her, she would make corresponding arrangements to ensure that those uninvited guests would not cause trouble in Liyue.
"I will do my best to deal with the strangers from neighboring countries, the Witch of Fire who came from the winter, and those who try to take advantage of the situation."
The various departments of Liyue General Affairs Department can be said to control all walks of life in Liyue, so no matter what the situation is, they know it well.
The purpose of Ye Lan's existence is to collect information that the Liyue Seven Stars official is not convenient to collect, and to do things that they are not convenient to do.
However, from Ningguang's words, Ye Lan seemed to have realized something.
"Do you want me to..."
Ningguang’s words just now can be said to have included all the people in Liyue who might cause trouble now, but only one was missed.
Instructor.
"For some reason, the Liyue authorities cannot carry out any surveillance, investigation, or assassination missions against Fatui's executive officers and instructors in the near future, so I can only find you."
As mentioned before, Ye Lan has no official registration in Liyue. She is an intelligence officer directly reporting to Ningguang, and the relationship between the two is similar to that of employment.
If she had gone to Bai Luo, Ningguang would not have been considered to be disobeying the orders of the Rock King.
But considering Ye Lan's recent grievances with the instructor, she hesitated for a long time before approaching him.
"Don't worry, even if you don't want to, I won't force you."
This is true. There is no need for her to force Ye Lan to do something she doesn't like.
What's more, the Emperor had already told her that he would handle Bai Luo's problem himself.
Ningguang asked Ye Lan to investigate Bai Luo, more because she wanted to have a general idea in her mind so that if something really happened, she would not be left in the dark.
"Can."
Ye Lan sprinkled chili powder, which was considered lethal to outsiders, on the roasted rabbit and agreed to Ningguang's request without much hesitation.
And he agreed very calmly.
There was no questioning, nor was there any anger. It was just like a good sister asked her to go shopping together, and she just casually agreed.
This was quite unexpected for Ningguang.
