If Fang Yun were here, he would also agree with the other party's opinion, because in the plot, Qixing was forced to run outside the city to "welcome" the immortal under pressure from the immortal, which gave the Fatui the opportunity to successfully unseal Osel... At that time, Ningguang had already noticed the movements of the Fatui, but the visit of the immortal made it impossible for her to deal with it.
In fact, if Qixing could grasp the relationship between humans and immortals well, such as letting Ganyu serve as a bridge of communication, there would be no need to go to the step of fighting Osel. After all, the battle was too dangerous. It was impossible to expect Ningguang to sacrifice every time, right?
Humans and immortals working together instead of being suspicious of each other and engaging in internal strife, this may be the perfect answer that Zhongli wants to see!
However, some people still raised questions about Yusupov's words.
"But if we drag Inazuma into this, what if we provoke their revenge?"
"Let's not talk about whether Inazuma knows about it. Even if she does, what will happen? They can't do anything to us without solid evidence. By the time the investigation is complete, we will have already released Osel and retired."
Yusupov didn't care: "The people of Liyue are no less devout than Inazuma. If Inazuma dares to cause trouble and kill people in public during this sensitive period, it would be a contempt for Liyue's laws and a trampling on Liyue's beliefs and dignity."
He acknowledged that Fang Yun and General Lei Dian were very powerful.
He also acknowledged Fang Yun's courage and guts to challenge the gods.
But so what?
Liyue is a country of contract. No matter whether these Fatui have a conspiracy or not, as long as they have not been exposed, they are now in the Northland Bank and are enjoying the protection of the Thousand Rocks Army.
If Inazuma's people come and cause trouble in public, and when the Qianyan Army arrives, can they kill the Qianyan Army as well?
Inazuma is your weak spot!
.....
ps: Regarding the plan of the Fatui, this is not made up by me.
From the conversation between the Young Master and the Traveler, they really intended to let Osair and the Rock King "lose each other" on the day of the Immortal Invitation Ceremony, and they did not suddenly unseal Osair (because according to Ningguang's information, they had been copying the Hundred Unrestricted Taboos for a long time.)
This can also be seen in the conversation between the Childe and the Golden House, where he truly believes that the Geolord will be "sweaty" after being beaten by Osel, and that Liyue will most likely be swallowed by the sea, and that the Traveler will drown along with the people.
So I have always been curious about how the Ice God managed to hold back from laughing when he gave this task to Young Master.
The Omniscient and Almighty: Chapter 6 The only one who can stop me is General Thunder (K chapter)
Of course, although the plan had been agreed upon and the Liyue Seven Stars had successfully joined the game, Yusupov had been working in the officialdom for many years and naturally understood some rules. So he turned his head and looked at the orange-haired young man who had been sitting on the main seat with his eyes closed and seemed to be asleep.
"My Lord, what do you think?" he asked respectfully.
He knew that the young master was not interested in such conspiracies, but as a subordinate he could not ignore him. It was a matter of attitude... How could it be possible to "get in the car after the leader opens the door"?
People like that will be exiled to the northwest corner of the Kingdom of Winter to grow potatoes!
"Ah? Me?" The young man yawned and opened his eyes casually. This scene suddenly reminded him of the day when he left Zhidong.
At that time, he was summoned into the palace by the Queen amidst the incredulous looks of his colleagues including the clown, the doctor, and the servants, and was given a glorious and great task.
"Tartaria, go and retrieve Morax's Heart of God."
"Ah I?"
The young master still remembered his confusion that day, but when he thought about how he could intervene in the battle between the demons, his strong will to fight made him ignore many unreasonable things such as "why not look for the top three executives". He packed up a little and headed straight for Liyue.
However, when he arrived in Liyue, the Young Master discovered that things were not as simple as he had imagined, "releasing Osel and then taking the opportunity to launch a sneak attack to seize the Heart of God". Not only did he have to arrange people to copy the Hundred Taboos Talisman, but he also had to fight wits and courage with the Seven Stars. Now, he had to abandon the glory of a warrior to play tricks.
This was very difficult for him to accept, especially since he had to deceive Mr. Zhongli in order to obtain the position of the Immortal Ancestor Fa Tu. If something happened to the Fatui, Zhongli would be implicated by him.
Although Zhongli has a bad habit of never bringing money with him when he goes out and always sends his bills to the Northland Bank, he is very knowledgeable and has given the young master a lot of inspiration... Alas, Zhongli is a pretty good person!
Thinking of this, the young master reminded with a cold face: "Yusupov, strategies are only means of the weak. Although we are willing to do everything for the mission of the Queen, we can't be too obsessed with strategies. In the end, we still have to rely on strength to seize the Heart of God. The same is true for dealing with Inazuma."
Yusupov nodded on the surface, but he was speechless in his heart. Isn't this nonsense?
If we were strong enough, we would have conducted human experiments on the demon residue in Xumi and even captured Lanaro. Do you think we had to hide when we wanted to build a ruins guard factory in Liyue? Wasn't it because we were afraid of being rewarded with a Heaven Moving All Things by the Rock King?
No need to plot against Inazuma now?
My Lord, don't take it out on us when you can't fight yourself!
I can't beat Fang Yun, can you?
...
the other side.
Walking with Fang Yun on the streets of Liyue, Yingmei was still in a dazed state after suffering a strong shock.
If it were any other time, seeing her expression like this, she would probably sigh with Paimon: This is truly the impact of an imperial beast of burden.
She couldn't help being so nervous. After Fang Yun changed his sword, she had advised Fang Yun again, suggesting that he should report to General Lei Dian.
Yingmei didn't want to give orders to her leader Fang Yun as soon as she entered the new unit, as it would seem like she was going to talk back to her boss. However, Fang Yun's arrangements were completely incomprehensible to her.
Based on her past experience, she could tell that Fang Yun's new green sword was a divine weapon, but the problem was that the current situation could not be changed by simply changing weapons. Do you think you were holding the sword of the Rock King?
Yingmei knew that Fang Yun would not be arrested by the Qianyan Army with his identity, but think about it, the foreign leader who came to establish diplomatic relations did not inform Liyue at all, and suddenly launched an attack on Liyue’s most prosperous street. Isn’t this a slap in Liyue’s face?
Moreover, the Fatui did not send their own people, but most likely bribed the Liyue merchants as a cover. In order not to expose their own treasonous acts, these Liyue merchants will certainly not let it go.
Even if Fang Yun could take action against the Fatui, how could he have the legal right to deal with these traitorous businessmen?
If he acts aggressively in Liyue during this sensitive period, the people of Liyue will definitely have a bad impression of Inazuma.
Unless Fang Yun is the next generation of Rock God, no one would say anything if he executed the Fatui and the Rare Merchants, let alone the Seven Stars.
But how is that possible?
Previously, Yingmei did feel that Fang Yun’s talent for equipment was not right, but after close contact, although she had not experienced it yet, she could feel that Fang Yun’s Inazuma patriotic genes were very strong and he was a genuine Inazuma man.
Unfortunately, her worries were useless, because Fang Yun really listened to her and went to report to General Lei Dian, and General Lei Dian agreed.
The purple-haired lady, who was wearing an elegant purple kimono and had a majestic temperament, was practicing swordsmanship in the martial arts field in the backyard. After hearing Fang Yun say, "I might have to go out to deal with a few Fatui," General Lei Dian didn't even ask the reason, but just asked Fang Yun if he needed her help, implying that she wanted to be Fang Yun's bodyguard.
"Even if Fang Yun is the Prince of Ming Shen and the master of Inazuma, shouldn't General Raiden, the Ming Shen, have a higher status than him?" Yingmei found it difficult to understand who was on top and who was down between Inazuma.
Whether in Mondstadt or Liyue, the people have the same respect for God, but the one who makes the decision on Inazuma's side is Fang Yun, the disciple of God. Is this the classic case of Inazuma's overthrow of his superiors as rumored?
Could she also defy Fang Yun by rebelling against him? No, that's not right... She didn't have anything that could defy Fang Yun!
"In short, I have done my best in this matter, and I have a clear conscience if something really goes wrong." Yingmei held her forehead and sighed. As a new employee, she had already reached the limit by giving advice twice in a row. If she wanted to give advice again, she would probably have to sacrifice herself.
But she was still quite interested in General Raiden, because although he had a dignified temperament and a unique ascetic and cold voice, she had the face of a married woman!
Seeing how caring she is towards Fang Yun, I guess she also cooks for Fang Yun often, right?
And since Fang Yun promised her that they could have dinner together, then couldn't she also eat for free?
Thinking about having a top demon god cook for her, Yingmei felt that her life was worth it!
While they were sighing, the two of them and Paimeng had already left Yujingtai and arrived at the street where the Northland Bank was located.
The role of the Northland Bank is not just a base for the Fatui. The economy of the Kingdom of Winter can reach its current level only because of the operation of the Northland Bank by the "rich", and its location is naturally in the most prosperous area of Liyue.
This is considered the new urban area of Liyue. It is very different from the plain and simple architectural style of Chihuyan Street. To Fang Yun, it feels a bit like a large commercial plaza in modern society, with hundreds of shops setting up in it, selling all kinds of food, jewelry, and clothing. There are even special advertising spaces on the outside of the commercial building.
If it weren't for the technical limitations, Fang Yun estimated that Ningguang and the others would even want to build a large screen to project advertisements.
"Liyue is much more prosperous than Inazuma. The outlying islands seem like the countryside compared to here." Fang Yun was filled with emotion. He originally thought that Inazuma was not doing well because of the isolation order, but now it seems that Inazuma's economy has been completely destroyed. If there is no support from the military industry, it will probably be at the bottom.
Of course, he also knew that it was not so easy to build a business district. The geographical location of Liyue in the center of the continent of Teyvat was also an important factor in Liyue's prosperity. Inazuma was far away from various countries and had a natural disadvantage in traditional business.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Hu Zhai Palace took a different approach, delving into the talisman factory and letting Ying study telegraph, thus embarking on a new economic development route.
It’s true, Fang Yun had never thought of this before. He couldn’t help but sigh at Hu Zhaigong’s cleverness. No wonder she is at the Grandmaster level!
It's a pity that Hu Zhaigong is good in everything except her smoking habit. Fang Yun will have to help her quit smoking sooner or later!
"I wonder if there are any e-cigarettes for sale in Fontaine." Fang Yun complained, planning to go to the shops in Fontaine with the pure Lannaro at night.
He took Yingmei and Paimon through Mingxingzhai and came to the commercial building where the Northland Bank was located.
Due to the death of Geo Emperor, the commercial building was naturally not as bustling as usual, but Liyue was an economic powerhouse after all, and there were many exotic shops here, so there were still a lot of people walking around.
Fang Yun was not in a hurry to find the Fatui. He walked into the building leisurely, passing through the stores one floor at a time as if he was conducting a research tour. When he saw something he was interested in, he would ask a few questions and buy something, then hand the shopping bag to Yingmei to carry.
As for Paimon?
This little girl was so greedy that she couldn't walk when she saw some snack shops. Seeing her like this, Fang Yun had no choice but to pay for her. She was now flying unsteadily with the bag of snacks in her arms, humming "From Mondstadt to Liyue, Paimon made a lot of money."
It was just unexpected that some stores actually gave him certain discounts when they saw him wearing Inazuma's clothes.
"Boss, what do you mean by this?" Fang Yun wondered. He was worried that Inazuma would be excluded, so he thought of bringing Yingmei out to check out the situation and conduct research at the same time.
The boss that Fang Yun was questioning was a tall middle-aged man. Like the other people of Liyue, he had a sad expression on his face and obviously had not yet come out of the shadow of the death of the god.
"Little brother, don't think too much. I just feel that Prince Yan... Well, how should I put it? Although everyone feels very sad without Prince Yan, don't we still have to live our lives?"
"Liyue, Inazuma, and Mondstadt have always had a good relationship. Now that Liyue is in trouble, if we can get the help of these two allies, I think things will be easier going forward."
"Besides, your Inazuma's General Raiden has come to visit in person. As the host of Liyue, we can't be too stingy. Otherwise, if the spirit of Lord Yan in heaven finds out, he will scold the people of Liyue for not being able to entertain guests. I can't bear this responsibility."
He wiped his tears while speaking: "I'm sorry, I made you laugh, a grown man cried while talking."
"It's okay. I understand your thoughts." Fang Yun expressed his understanding. The Geo Emperor is of great significance to Liyue. His history is the history of Liyue. Without his guidance, let alone the people, even the Seven Stars would not be able to step out of this comfort zone.
It is already quite good that an ordinary person like him can consider the future development of diplomacy under such circumstances. This is also the answer that Zhongli wants to see. He does not want Liyue to be controlled by him all the time. After all, even he will wear out sometimes.
"It seems that most of the people of Liyue still believe in Inazuma. After all, the Wind, Rock, and Thunder Kingdoms have been allies for thousands of years. How can they be swayed by a few words?" Fang Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
However, this matter still needs to be resolved.
Originally, Fang Yun had no intention of interfering with the actions of the Fatui, because this was Zhongli's test for Liyue, and he and Ying were just witnesses. Even if Zhongli said frankly that he didn't mind his interference, he didn't want to create trouble, and he believed that Ningguang would handle it well.
The problem is, the Fatui shouldn't have dragged Inazuma into the game... Fang Yun is not so petty as to want to retaliate after the Fatui made a plan, nor is he acting rashly. The main reason is that the Fatui's plan this time turned out to be a success.
He knew that from the Fatui's perspective, releasing Osel would make Morax "sweat profusely", so even if General Raiden was willing to fight Osel for the sake of their ally Liyue, he would definitely be beaten "sweating profusely", so there would be no harm at all in bringing Inazuma into the game.
To be honest, this plan is ridiculous. As long as Lei Dianying strikes Osel with a knife when she riots, the Fatui's fantasy can be ended, and the rumor that she is assassinating Morax can be clarified with action... But the problem is that it is not convenient for Fang Yun and her to take action against Osel.
At that time, the people of Liyue would surely wonder why the ally Inazuma did not help Liyue when it was in a life-and-death crisis? Wouldn't this just confirm the rumors?
So, Fang Yun chose to solve the problem.
'But even though I can use the Rock Knot Green, it will also cause corresponding changes later... Whether it's the Immortal or the Seven Stars, they will probably regard me as the Emperor's backup, right?'
He was not being overly sentimental. The Green Knot of Rock once appeared at the beginning of Liyue's rise, which was considered the beginning of the Liyue mythology. And now the sword Emperor's Soul Returns to Heaven has appeared again. Even if Fang Yun patted Yingmei's chest and said that he had nothing to do with Emperor Rock King, would anyone believe it?
Of course, with his identity as the Emperor of Mingshen, he would not have to worry about someone secretly wearing a yellow robe. However, he would definitely have to deal with immortals and the Seven Stars in the future. The good thing was that the suspicion of both sides would disappear with his appearance, because once he, the emperor's backup, appeared, humans and immortals would not have to fight for power.
and many more.
"I see, I understand, Zhongli, you plotted against me!" Fang Yun suddenly realized the key point. With the alliance between Liyue and Inazuma, even if there was no such rumor, Inazuma would have to take action when Osair broke the seal in Liyue, otherwise there would be no explanation for the rest.
Unless the Seven Stars of Liyue can give Zhongli a perfect answer, and reach an understanding with the immortals before Fang Yun takes action, so that the Fatui will not take the step of releasing Osiel, but this is obviously impossible!
Zhongli did not take back Fang Yun's Rock Green, in fact, he wanted to use him to reconcile the conflicts between the people and immortals of Liyue!
"Forget it, it's too late to talk about this now, and I'm really disappointed with Qixing's response... Qixing was completely crushed by the Fatui in terms of strategy. If things had gone on normally, the Young Master would have entered the Golden House, and he and his men would have unsealed Osel. Neither of the two most critical lines of defense could have been held. These problems were only covered up in the happy ending."
"Today, let's teach Qixing a good lesson."
Fang Yun did not hesitate any longer. He took Yingmei to the upper level, where the Northland Bank was stationed.
But Yingmei was confused.
As the shopping bag in her hand became heavier, if Fang Yun had not been walking towards Northland Bank, she would have forgotten what she was doing there.
Moreover, the position she applied for was clearly Inazuma Samurai, so how did she become Fang Yun’s capable female secretary?
idiot!
"Fang Yun, are you sure we want to go to Northland Bank like this?" Ying looked at the full shopping bags and pouted, "What on earth are you thinking about? Why did you suddenly go shopping again?"
Although she thought Fang Yun was a nice person and generous, her unpredictable attitude made her feel uncomfortable... Didn't Fang Yun usually communicate with his teammates?
It was only when Fang Yun heard the dissatisfaction in Yingmei's voice that he realized the problem.
But he had no choice. With his record of 31000/0/9, he had long been accustomed to carrying the whole game. He actually forgot about the new teammate Yingmei. He had just used her as a bag.
"General Lei Dian and I visited Liyue and Fontaine. On the one hand, we wanted to explore Inazuma's future philosophy of governing the country, and on the other hand, we wanted to restore diplomatic relations and economic trade. The latter definitely requires an on-site inspection." Fang Yun briefly explained, "Also, it was to investigate whether the rumors had any impact on the people of Liyue."
"But can we really deal with the Fatui now?" Ying raised the shopping bag in her hand, "I can't spare a hand to help you."
Paimon, who was still eating, suddenly came to his senses when he heard that a fight was about to break out, and once again protected Yingmei in front of him.
"You don't need to deal with the Fatui. I am enough on my own." Fang Yun glanced at Ying Mei and felt that she was not very clear about her own strength, so he added: "Don't worry, I have already studied Fontaine's opponent."
This was not a lie. Today he was indeed thinking about how to collect intelligence from Funina and continue to leverage Fang Yun's advantage in intelligence.
But the name Funina, like Kiana, sounds very smart, so she might be a tough opponent.
After hearing what he said, Ying also let go of her nervousness.
Fang Yun's legendary story had already spread throughout the seven countries with the lifting of the isolation order. She had heard it on the road and knew that Fang Yun had once fought with General Raiden so hard that the entire Inazuma was filled with thunderclouds. When he conquered Kaigi Island, he even summoned Susanoo to chop down mountains. He should have the combat power of a god.
But when Yingmei saw her leader Fang Yun walking in front of her, she always felt that it was inappropriate.
