A faint smile appeared on Zhongli's face. He glanced at Bai Luo beside him and asked.
He also figured out this guy's character.
Wherever there is excitement to watch, his figure is bound to be there.
But... ... this kind of life is pretty good, isn't it
He picked up the tea in his hand and took a sip.
Hmm... the tea is cold.
"Here it comes, it's about to begin."
Bai Luo, who was standing in front of the window, saw Ningguang of Yujingtai making a gesture of a girl who was afraid of the sun and shielding herself from the shade with one hand, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
This is her judging the position of the sun to determine whether it is an auspicious time.
The people of Liyue care about this kind of thing the most.
After confirming that the time had arrived, Ningguang took two steps forward gracefully, crossed her hands on her abdomen, glanced at the people in front of her, and announced, "The auspicious time has arrived."
Ningguang's voice was not very loud, but under the influence of the elements, it spread throughout the entire Yujing Terrace.
The residents who had been waiting quietly began to hold their breath after Ningguang said this, for fear of making any loud noise and disturbing the gods.
After hearing what Ningguang said, the attendants accompanying Ningguang bowed slightly and took a few steps back.
They had to keep enough distance to allow Lord Tianquanxing to cast a spell to invite Emperor Rock King.
The Eye of God with a scarlet tassel on its waist swayed slightly, and the rock elements gathered around Ningguang, spinning rapidly around her like a satellite.
Her long silver hair and the bird-tail-shaped hem of her cheongsam swayed slightly. The golden phoenix pattern on her neckline seemed to come alive under the influence of the elements, giving people a very stunning feeling.
When the rock elements gathered into a full state, Ningguang pointed her left hand at the sword and swung it towards the cauldron.
Then he made a seal.
"boom-"
After the rock element was immersed in the cauldron, it suddenly exploded inside. The bright golden light was like the meteor that everyone here drew when they drew a card.
As the victory pattern above the cauldron was lit up, a golden torrent rose from the cauldron and went straight into the sky.
Even the clouds in the sky were dyed into golden swirls.
"Emperor..."
Among the crowd, some loyal believers of Morax have bowed their heads, paying their highest respects to the approaching god.
But then, something strange happened.
“Buzz—”
The people who were originally looking up and waiting for the arrival of the gods suddenly noticed another ray of light condensing in the sky.
The dazzling light even overshadowed the golden light that Ningguang used to invite the Rock King.
The light gradually formed the shape of a ring, tightly binding the golden beam of light that shot up into the sky from the cauldron.
The golden vortex gradually faded into white.
"not good!"
Ningguang's ruby-like eyes watched the changes in the sky, and she had an ominous premonition in her heart.
The next moment, her premonition came true.
The golden torrent was completely replaced by white light. A divine dragon had its neck firmly wrapped by a ring of light. It fell from the sky and landed right in the center of Yujing Terrace.
The circle dissipated, the dragon struggled slightly, and its head hit the ground heavily without any sound.
Looking at this scene, Qiqi, who had come with Bai Zhu to watch the ceremony of summoning the immortal, showed a rare thoughtful expression on her face.
She always felt as if she had experienced something similar.
The travelers watching nearby felt an inexplicable palpitation.
The golden light is crooked!
"The Emperor has been murdered! Seal off the entire area!"
Chapter 620 Ye Lan, You Know Me
One sentence saying that the emperor was killed blocked the whole place.
This caused a commotion in the audience, and before anyone could react, a large number of Qianyan soldiers had filed in and completely surrounded the scene.
"how so?"
Looking at the commotion on Yujing Terrace, Ye Lan's expression looked somewhat serious.
She had wondered whether Bai Luo would show up to make things difficult for the Emperor or the Seven Stars, or make some noise to disturb the Seven Stars' ceremony of inviting the immortals.
But she really didn't expect that Bai Luo would
You asked her why she was sure that it was Bai Luo who did it
All I can say is that Bai Luo gives people the impression that he is someone who would do such a thing.
Even if the one who performed the Immortal Invitation Ceremony today was not Emperor Yan Wang, but Bai Luo, she would not find it strange.
Looking at the noisy crowd, Ye Lan raised his arm, activated the Youqi wrist lantern, and sent a message to the other side.
The frequency of the flashing of the Youqi wrist pendant was extremely fast. If Ye Lan had not been familiar with the use of this thing, she might not have been able to understand the meaning of the message sent by Bai Luo.
If you think about it carefully... ... it might sound a bit outrageous to say it out loud, but if it was really Bai Luo who assassinated the Emperor, then he could indeed do such a thing.
Or he could just say arrogantly that the Northland Bank would be fully responsible for the attack.
He has always been a very flamboyant person, and he wants the whole world to know about what he has done. It is really not like him to hide it like this.
Do you think they are afraid of affecting the diplomacy between Zhidong and Liyue
Come on, what he has done so far, does he have such concerns
She finally saw through this guy. He did things based on his own interest without considering the consequences. He was an extremely willful guy.
"Hmm? That person seems to be..."
While analyzing the situation at the scene, Ye Lan noticed someone.
A... or rather two sneaky figures were trying to sneak out of Yujing Terrace while the Qianyan Army was questioning everyone present.
If she remembered correctly, these two figures, one big and one small, seemed to be travelers with great reputations in the neighboring country
According to her investigation, this traveler had been looking for traces of gods when he was in Mondstadt, and she even recorded it in Ye Lan's little notebook for this purpose.
Originally, Ye Lan planned to wait until the ceremony of inviting the immortal was over, and then find a way to get close to the other party, investigate the other party's intentions, and then decide whether to classify him as a dangerous person.
I didn't expect this to happen midway.
So, was the assassination of the Emperor related to her
Looking at the figure below, Ye Lan climbed down the railing.
Because this is the best way to understand her.
“Catch them!”
"The assassin is here!"
Listening to the shouts behind her, all Ying could do was to pull Paimon's little feet and escape from here as much as possible.
She knew that if she ran away rashly like this, she would be mistaken for the murderer.
But she had to do it.
The enemy that stopped her and Kong back then was a god.
Who knows if the so-called Rock King Emperor is the god from that year
So she must not fall into the hands of the other party's believers.
Now it seemed that her only option was to escape.
"I understand the reason, but why are you holding my feet?"
Paimeng was swaying in the air like a rag doll, his eyes had turned into the shape of mosquito coils, but he still couldn't help complaining.
Obviously she can fly.
Ying did not give her own explanation, because it was too late to explain everything.
It is more important to avoid being caught by the Qianyan Army now.
Compared with the Qianyan Army, Ying's skills are definitely at the level of crushing this kind of people. With the blessing of the wind element, it can be said that it is more than enough for her to escape their pursuit.
The problem is that Liyue's architectural style is not as free and casual as Mondstadt's. The pavilions and towers here all have their own rules, and the paths formed in this way look like a maze, and people will get lost in it if they are not careful.
The same goes for Ying.
Compared with the local Thousand Rocks Army, she, who had just arrived at this place, was like a headless fly and could only drag Paimon around everywhere.
As a result... ...she accidentally entered a dead end and was surrounded by several teams of Qianyan Army.
"Where are you escaping to!"
The senior officer holding the dark iron sword pointed at Ying and shouted angrily.
Ying turned around, looked at his blocked retreat route, and reluctantly took out his edgeless sword.
To be honest, if she fights against these Thousand Rocks soldiers, her chances of winning are relatively high.
But if she really came into conflict with them, then she would be firmly labeled an assassin and would never be able to make a comeback in this country.
But if you don't resist
"Miss, be careful and don't move."
A slightly frivolous voice sounded behind Ying, and then several water arrows broke through the air, brushed past Ying, and knocked down all the weapons in the hands of several Qianyan soldiers.
"Who is it?"
Covering their wrists, several Qianyan soldiers looked behind Ying vigilantly.
A flash of red caught the eyes of everyone present, and after a somersault, he landed steadily between Qianyan Jun and Ying.
"A ronin from Inazuma?"
Looking at the guy dressed as an Inazuma Ronin in front of him, the officer of the Qianyan Army thought of a legendary swordsman who had recently become famous in Liyue.
"Battosai?"
Hearing the other party's address, the corners of "Battosai"'s mouth exposed outside the mask slightly curled up, which meant that his goal had been achieved.
Holding the katana at his waist, Battousai instantly turned into a dark blue phantom. He shuttled through the Qianyan army at an extremely fast speed and appeared behind them in a moment.
By the time they reacted, it was too late.
A strong pulling feeling came from the body, and all the Qianyan soldiers flew into the air at the same time, tied together by a faint light blue water line, and fell heavily to the ground.
"This way."
Before Ying could react, Battousai had already subdued all the Chiyan troops on the scene.
Looking at the strange figure in front of him, Ying raised his head and glanced at the Qianyan Army who had gathered here after hearing the noise, and had no choice but to leave with him.
Chapter 621: Three Moves Agreement
"Youqi wrist?"
On the other side, Geo Emperor... ...or Zhongli, was still holding a cup of tea, but the cold tea in it had been replaced with fresh one.
He looked at Bai Luo, who was hurriedly flipping through a manual and took a lot of effort to send out a message, and seemed a little surprised.
He knew a little about this mysterious wrist guard, and it seemed to be inherited from a family of sorcerers. How did it end up in this kid's hands
“It was an accident.”
Bai Luo seemed to have seen through Zhongli's thoughts. After carefully putting away the code book, he explained aloud.
It seems that he needs to memorize this thing as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too troublesome to look through the notebook every time he sends a message.
Mobile phones are more convenient.
