After making sure that there was nothing in the box, Mona put the diary in, put it away carefully, and said.
Well, this isn't really a lie.
Compared with my previous life, it’s really good here with Bai Luo.
Food and accommodation are provided, and it's quite relaxing.
We ate seafood noodles and stayed in a private room.
All you have to do is wear a maid outfit, clean twice a day, and say welcome a few times.
It doesn't get any better than this.
Although the salary is a little... ... but she earns her living by contributing articles to newspapers, so it's not a problem.
"You decided to stay here on your own. I didn't force you."
Bai Luo repeated it again.
"Yes, yes, I volunteer to stay here!"
Mona has made up her mind that she will never leave the Rock Tea House until the old woman dies!
never!
Chapter 797 Bai Luo wants to do something big
The night wind gently caressed Ningguang's cheek and lifted a strand of her hair slightly.
As the sky lanterns faded away and only the night sky dotted with stars, Ningguang slowly exhaled a wisp of smoke from her mouth, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
Even though night had fallen in Liyue, the city was still not quiet. The bustle of the Lantern Festival affected everyone in the city, including foreigners.
Today, the port of Liyue Harbor is still bustling with people.
But compared to the evening, it was not as crowded.
She was now on a pavilion in Feiyunpo. Even though the Qunyu Pavilion had sunk into the Guyun Pavilion along with Osel, she still had the habit of looking down at Liyue from a high place.
But this pavilion... ...is ultimately not as good as the Jade Pavilion that looks like the bright moon.
Perhaps it's time to draw up a schedule for rebuilding Guyun Pavilion.
“Tattattatt…”
Rhythmic footsteps were heard, but before anyone arrived, the strange fragrance that filled the air overshadowed the slightly pungent smell from the pipe.
The night wind blew through the pavilion, the fiery red lanterns swayed in the wind, and the faces of the visitors became somewhat blurry.
But this unusual fragrance has already indicated the identity of the visitor.
"How is it?"
Leaning lightly against the vermilion pillar, Ningguang slowly sank into the shadows.
Under the influence of the pillars, the bustling port and the quiet city formed a sharp contrast. Only the flame from the pipe in Ningguang's hand became the most conspicuous red spot in the shadow.
"On the surface, he came back to celebrate the holidays, otherwise he wouldn't have come into our sight so brazenly."
Ye Lan said as she tightened her white silk shawl around her body.
Ming Luo clearly knew that Wangshu Inn was Ningguang's territory, and he made a point of showing his presence there.
What does this mean? This means he is greeting Ningguang, the current leader of Liyue—I’m coming over, please pay attention.
If he was here to cause trouble, there was no need to do this.
"Indeed, we visited the night market, watched the lantern exhibition, and spent a long time at the food stalls. It looked like a festival no matter how we looked at it."
Even if Bai Luo already had Ye Lan following him, Ningguang couldn't really withdraw all her men.
So she knew exactly what Bai Luo did after coming to Liyue.
Of course... ...including the steel plate that flew into the residential area.
"So... you really thought he was here for the holidays?"
The mysterious wrist bracelet on Ye Lan's wrist was no longer flashing like before, which meant that the person holding the other bracelet had stopped moving and was most likely asleep.
But Ye Lan doesn't think so.
After all, this bracelet can store energy and can continue to work even if it leaves its owner.
She wasn't sure whether Bai Luo had taken off the bracelet and was going to do something else.
"I hope so."
The pipe knocked lightly against the pillar, sparking a burst of sparks, and Ningguang's tone contained a hint of helplessness.
Because from the information she had, the possibility of Bai Luo coming back for the holidays was quite high.
After all, the Lantern Festival is an extremely special day for many Liyue people.
But the more special the day, the less time she, who holds an important position, can have to relax.
She had just finished processing some documents and came straight to meet Ye Lan without even having time to rest.
If Bai Luo continues to cause trouble... ... her beautiful hair, which she had just started to take care of, would probably be in trouble again.
Emperor, please take this evil beast away.
"Let's not talk about anything else. What do you think the chances are that he won't cause trouble?"
Taking out the dice from his pocket, Ye Lan tossed it gently and held it in his hand, then asked.
In her opinion, the possibility of Bai Luo not causing trouble is as impossible as the possibility of the dice turning into Mora.
Ye Lan knows this guy's character best.
"So, did you find something?"
After hearing Ye Lan's words, Ningguang glanced sideways while holding her pipe.
Based on her understanding of this "partner", she would never say such a thing without accurate information and reasonable inference.
"Did you pay attention to his route?"
With his hands on the railing of the pavilion, Ye Lan looked at the lights outside the city that were gradually dimming and asked.
That's where she met Bai Luo.
"What do you say?"
Ningguang's eyes followed Ye Lan's gaze, and then she simply went over the route in her mind according to the intelligence.
Hmm... There doesn't seem to be anything suspicious. Maybe there are some differences, but many outsiders come to Liyue along this route.
Ye Lan didn't say anything, but raised her hand slightly.
The azure blue thread slowly floated up, and under her control, it connected the route they had once walked together under the night sky.
As she watched the lines gradually connecting together, Ningguang's expression gradually became solemn.
"The patrol route of the Qianyan Army?"
That's right, Bai Luo, who seemed to be eating, drinking and having fun, was actually secretly figuring out the patrol routes of the Qianyan Army very clearly. Basically, all the sentries, whether open or hidden, were checked out by him.
Is it a coincidence
No, Ningguang doesn’t think so.
Even if Bai Luo wanted to go to the toilet on the way and turned into the temporary toilet specially prepared for the Lantern Festival, the route would change slightly.
But by coincidence, he took Ye Lan to walk all the patrol routes.
“It’s more than that.”
He tapped his fingers again, and several special nodes lit up on the silk thread.
This time, the node that lit up caused the pipe in Ningguang's hand to fall to the ground with a clang.
"This is... ... "
Staring at these points intently, she certainly understood the importance of these places.
The Sea Lantern Festival is a day for releasing sky lanterns and bright sky lanterns, and fireworks are also set off at specific times. Therefore, on this special day, safety hazards such as fire are very likely to occur.
Therefore, when preparing for the Sea Lantern Festival, the fire brigade is also a top priority.
Coincidentally, Bai Luo visited all the fire brigades specially stationed in the city.
How could she not react to such an important matter
Although the Fire Brigade is composed of the elite of the Thousand Rocks Army, they are probably not enough in the face of the combat power of the Executive Officers and the Fatui.
"Do you know what he cares about most tonight?"
With a wave of his right hand, the silk threads in the sky turned into water drops and fell down. The brightly lit Liyue Harbor was once again fully displayed in front of the two.
Ye Lan slowly turned her gaze towards the Yixiao Daotian Zhenjun Mingxiao Lantern which was almost completed at the port, and spoke in a low voice.
"He kept asking me when the sky lantern would be lit."
Everything shows that Bai Luo definitely wants to cause trouble during the Lantern Festival.
And it’s a big deal.
This is also one of the reasons why she did not follow Bai Luo into the Yanshang Tea House, but chose to come to Ningguang.
Because this time there might be big trouble.
Chapter 798: Materials for the Mingxiao Lantern
In the deep night, a few sky lanterns rose up at some point. Perhaps they were the vendors who were busy all night and missed the prime time
The sparks slowly floated in the sky above Liyue. Although they carried some insignificant thoughts, these thoughts were also extremely heavy.
It is already very late at night and there are many people still awake.
This also includes Bai Luo who had just returned to Liyue.
Under the orange light, Bai Luo was concentrating on browsing the thick documents in front of him.
The material of this lamp looks like amber, or some kind of crystal. Bai Luo can't tell its specific material.
But he really liked this soft light.
As everyone knows, Bai Luo will never work when he can slack off.
Unless the Queen is catching up behind, or there is some fun to be had.
Obviously, the reason why he is so serious this time is related to the latter.
In front of Bai Luo was a list of all the information related to Liyue since the beginning of the ceremony of summoning the immortals.
Although he also went through the ceremony of summoning the immortal, he was busy with matters related to the [Assessment] afterwards. As for other aspects of the situation, he knew even less than Paimondo.
He naturally had his reasons for checking these things.
After all... he really wants to cause trouble.
"Buzz..."
The orange light flickered slightly a few times, as if it was affected, causing Bai Luo to slowly raise his head.
A debt handler stepped out from the shadows and respectfully handed over a piece of paper information.
"Is it all here?"
After opening this highly confidential information, Bai Luo took a quick look at it and asked aloud.
"Yes, these materials are basically piled in conspicuous places near the sea, so it is not difficult to find them clearly."
Half-kneeling on the ground, the debt handler answered everything in detail.
"Only the materials for the Sky Lantern?"
Looking at the information in his hand, Bai Luo frowned slightly and asked aloud.
"I'm sorry, but the General Affairs Department and Qixing seem to be very concerned about gunpowder and fireworks. The brothers are still investigating. I was just afraid that you might get anxious, so I sent the information to you in advance."
The debt handler swallowed his saliva and half-knelt on the ground, feeling extremely nervous.
During the winter, he was one of the students with poor grades, and what he feared most was being scolded by the instructor.
