I'm in debt at Bengtie

"Captain Hokuto has a good relationship with the Kamisato family, one of the three Inazuma magistrates."

"Is it a company official? I see."

Thor nodded, indicating that he had taken note of it.

"Captain Beidou's ship will arrive at Liyue Harbor tonight. I will make the connection for you then. You can take Beidou's ship back to Inazuma tomorrow."

"grateful."

Lei Shen nodded to express his gratitude to Ningguang.

Soon, Ningguang sent someone to take Lei Shen away. Ningguang arranged the best accommodation in Liyue for Lei Shen, which was right next to the Starry Sky Train.

"Thor, what are you doing here?"

Qiong, who happened to be there, was confused at first when he saw Thor.

As a security guard, why are you coming to me instead of staying at the dock and following Beloberg's representative?

"Morax will help take care of Liyue's affairs."

"Zhongli will take responsibility for you?"

"Zhongli?"

Thor looked at Qiong in confusion.

"That's the name of the Rock King Emperor as an ordinary person. He is now Zhongli, living an ordinary life."

Although it is said to be ordinary, it is actually not ordinary at all. How can an ordinary person go out and shop without money and still be a guest of honor of major businessmen?

"I see, so this is how Morax works in Liyue."

The previous communication between Lei Shen and Zhongli did not involve this aspect. They mainly discussed why Inazuma's Lei Shen came to Liyue and why he became Beloberg's security guard. Now that she knew about Zhongli from Qiong, she was quite surprised at first.

"No wonder Morax acted like that in front of those people just now, and didn't reveal my identity. He just wanted to keep a low profile."

"Indeed, he even faked his own death before, hoping that the people of Liyue would think that the Geo Emperor had been killed, so that they would retreat to the background and protect Liyue from behind the scenes."

"what?"

Thor was shocked by Zhongli's operation.

"Fake your death and retreat into the background? What will happen to Liyue then? Who will protect Liyue's contract?"

Qiong shrugged at this.

"That's right. Although I think this plan is very abstract, because of our arrival, he couldn't retreat behind the scenes anymore, so he stepped forward again and is now continuing to be his Geo King. However, the identity of Zhongli still exists. When he's not appearing as Geo King, he's Zhongli."

"I see."

Thor nodded, not quite understanding.

"I won't reveal his true identity."

"Well, since you have nothing to do here in Liyue, I won't force you. Before the next Beloberg cargo ship arrives, you can return to your Inazuma. As the god of Inazuma, Inazuma probably still has a lot of things that need your attention."

"No, I won't go back today."

Thor shook his head.

"Hmm? You don't want Inazuma anymore?"

Qiong looked at the Thunder God curiously. This second-generation Thunder God had inherited Inazuma from her sister, the First Thunder God. Inheriting her sister's will, she wanted to protect Inazuma. She had stayed in Inazuma ever since. She had never been to other countries, but this time, she was actually willing to stay in Liyue?

"I learned from Liyue that someone violated my lockdown order, so I'm going to see who took the lead in violating my lockdown order."

Okay, so this is why, but Qiong is also very curious.

"Didn't Topa tell you before that the Inazuma Locked Country policy can no longer continue? Are you still going to implement the lockdown order?"

"Your arrival has indeed made it impossible for Inazuma to continue with her isolation order. However, I will still do my best to enforce Inazuma's eternity. But before that, I want to find out who is disobeying my orders."

This is getting interesting. With the God of Thunder personally investigating, those three officials are probably doomed.

"Since you think so, then you should investigate it thoroughly."

Qiong did not continue to care about Thor, but let her develop freely.

"Oh no, when you return Inazuma, you might want to be careful because our Star Train might be heading to Inazuma for an adventure."

Lei Shen nodded to show that he understood. Anyway, the closed-door policy would basically be abolished after she returned. Since the country was no longer closed, whether it was foreigners or people from other worlds, they could enter Inazuma.

As long as they don't take the initiative to cause trouble, there will be no problem with their activities in Inazuma.

After a brief exchange, Thor went to her room. She didn't need to sleep, but she would meditate. During the time outside, she would be in full control of the general's body. After all, it would not be okay to leave the general alone outside.

While the God of Thunder was meditating, a huge sailboat also arrived at Guyun Pavilion.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Captain Beidou, standing at the bow, looked at the flat Guoyun Pavilion in front of him, feeling a little confused.

"Where's the Solitary Cloud Pavilion? Where's the huge Solitary Cloud Pavilion? Why is there such a big piece missing in the middle?!"

The once familiar Solitary Cloud Pavilion has now become flat.

"Big sister, have we come to the wrong place? There is a mountain in Solitary Cloud Pavilion, right?"

"Idiot, that's Liyue Harbor over there. How could you possibly be mistaken? That's Liyue Harbor, and this is Lonely Cloud Pavilion."

"But the question is, what about the one in Solitary Cloud Pavilion?"

Beidou naturally heard the conversation between the younger brothers behind her, but she also saw Liyue Harbor across the way.

The location here should be Guoyun Pavilion, but there is indeed a mountain missing.

"It seems that a lot of things happened in Liyue while we were away."

Beidou held the bow of the boat.

"Although we don't know what happened, we should know everything clearly soon."

223

Chapter 223: Thor boarded the Beidou ship.

Above Liyue Harbor, against the backdrop of night, the brightly lit Qun Yu Pavilion looks like an extremely luxurious castle in the sky.

Except for Liyue's Rock King and immortals, anyone else who wants to come to the Jade Pavilion must ask the staff of the Jade Pavilion to help them get up with floating stones. But even so, not everyone can come up. Liyue doesn't know how many merchants want to go to the Jade Pavilion and get information about the direction of Liyue's business development from Ningguang.

Beidou, relying on her cooperative relationship with Ningguang, can directly ride on the floating stone. This is something that the big businessmen in Liyue dare not even think about!

"Hey! It's been more than half a month since we last met, Lord Tianquan."

After entering the Qun Yu Pavilion, Beidou raised his hand to greet them and called them "Lord Ningguang" in front of Ningguang's subordinates.

"Captain Beidou, long time no see."

Ningguang also answered with a smile.

"How was the harvest this time when we went to Inazuma?"

"That's about it. Although I do make a lot of money, it's a pity that I have to spend a lot of money to maintain the relationships with the Kanden Bugyo. Those nobles of Inazuma are all very greedy for money."

"But at least your ship can sail through thunderstorms. This business is yours alone, so you'll be able to make money."

"That's true."

Beidou nodded.

"But the situation in Inazuma is becoming increasingly chaotic, and business may become increasingly difficult in the future."

"Oh? How's Inazuma's situation now?"

"Remember what I told you last time, about Inazuma executing the Eye Hunting Order and the Thunder God confiscating all the Eyes of God? This led to those who possessed the Eyes of God joining the resistance?"

"of course I remember."

"The rebels have become increasingly chaotic due to the influx of those who possess the Eye of God. The conflict between the rebels and the shogunate army is also becoming increasingly serious."

"So will it have any impact on us?"

"Based on the information I've received so far, it won't have much impact on us. However, it will have some impact on me. My business will become much more difficult because many people in Inazuma have died because of this civil unrest. Those were all potential customers of mine."

"I don't remember you selling goods in Inazuma, Captain Beidou. Aren't you just helping those merchants bring goods?"

Ningguang looked at Beidou in amusement.

Beidou put his hands on his hips.

"Isn't that natural? If all the people in Inazuma die, who will the merchants in Inazuma buy their goods from? If the merchants in Inazuma stop buying goods, I won't make any money."

"If you say so, that's true."

After the small talk was almost over, Beidou started to get down to business.

"So, during the time I was away from Liyue, something major happened in Liyue Harbor. I remember the Immortal Invitation Ceremony was held in the past few days. The Emperor also gave some new instructions, which is why the Solitary Cloud Pavilion has disappeared."

Such a big Guoyun Pavilion just disappeared. This is a big deal. She must find out what happened.

"I was just about to tell you about this."

Ningguang briefly told Beidou what had happened during this period. Beidou had no problem understanding, so he easily understood the whole picture.

She then commented on Zhongli's desire to fake his death test.

"Is the Emperor playing such a big game? This kind of thing is like the sky falling for us Liyue people!"

"Perhaps the Emperor wants to see how capable we are over the years. In his eyes, we probably have a certain level of ability to take this test. After all, the Emperor has never tested our ancestors in all these years, right?"

Ningguang's angle of speaking is very good. The Emperor's testing of them is equivalent to the Emperor's recognition of their abilities. From this perspective, doesn't it suddenly become much more noble?

"In short, the Emperor must have a deep meaning behind this."

Beidou listened and shook his head.

"Thank goodness the Star Train guys disrupted the Emperor's plans. Otherwise, Liyue Harbor would have been in chaos."

"In fact, the Starry Sky Train caused quite a bit of trouble."

Ningguang spoke slowly, which made Beidou couldn't help but smile.

"That's true. They killed the Emperor in public and even blew up the Solitary Cloud Pavilion. This is no small incident."

"Okay, that's enough information exchange. I have something to ask of you."

"Oh? What news do you want me to find out?"

Beidou asked directly.

"I'm not asking for any information, but I want you to help me send someone back to Inazuma."

"Oh? Who could have asked you to come and help find me in person?"

"To be honest, I don't know each other."

"what?"

Ningguang's words left Beidou bewildered.

"You don't even know them, and you want me to take someone to Inazuma?"

"It's because I don't know her that I want to get to know her. I don't know why, but my intuition tells me that she has a very high background in Inazuma and is very worth getting to know. She wants to return to Inazuma, so I'm going to help her. This way, I can get to know her, and you can also get to know her. Then we can use each other's relationships to get the benefits we need, right?"

"I don't care. You're better at business than I am."

Beidou agreed. It was impossible for her to refuse such a thing. Ningguang just asked her to help send someone off, and she agreed without even thinking about it.

"By the way, Liyue may soon engage in large-scale trade with Beloberg. By then, Liyue may change dramatically day by day. I suggest you leave tomorrow and send the people to Inazuma. Then, try not to leave Liyue for the foreseeable future. I'm worried that if you make more trips and come back, you might not be able to keep up with the times."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Beidou frowned.

"You just went out for a while, and you can't keep up with the times when you come back?"

Ningguang didn't answer, but instead nodded at Beidou.

"Your little thoughts on Inazuma will take up quite a bit of your time."

"Okay, I got it. I'll have the guys down there quickly get the supplies ready by night, and then I'll set off early tomorrow morning!"

Since Ningguang suggested this, she should follow Ningguang's advice.

"sorry to bother you."
