Chapter 135: The-for-Tat Executives (5,000 Words)
After Ningguang left.
Sure enough, no one bothered me anymore.
And the laid-back vacation life always flies by.
Although Lin Feng was reluctant.
But after all, it was time to have to leave for the winter.
During Liyue's vacation, he had also tried to find the rock god Morax.
Because at this time, the Emperor of the Rock King did not have the idea of abdicating.
But his earthly habit of wandering is still there.
When he wasn't needed to attend to his business, he would usually take on the pseudonym Zhongli and wander around Liyue Harbor.
Where Lin Feng went according to his habits.
Starting from the three bowls of Hong Kong, he went to Wanmin Hall, Xingxing Zhai, Yunhan Society, Heyu Teahouse, and even went to see the Afterlife Hall.
But he never saw Zhongli.
Moreover, the people from the Hall of the Dead also told Lin Feng that they did not have a guest named Zhongli there.
And so it was, until the agreed day of return had passed.
He couldn't find any trace of Zhongli either.
This made Lin Feng's original plan to talk to the rock god completely ruined.
"Strange, where did this old man go?"
Sitting in the carriage back to the Solstice, Lin Feng still looked back at Liyue Harbor with some unwillingness.
"You're talking about. Rock God? β
Eula, who was beside him, followed his line of sight and thought of a name that Lin Feng had been chanting these days.
Then he asked with trepidation, "Are you really going to ask the rock god so directly for the heart of the god?" What if this one is also like that thunder god, and comes up and slashes you with a knife without saying a word? β
"No, it won't."
"Iwajin is a reasonable man."
Lin Feng laughed.
This can be said to be a very Buddhist old man.
As long as you don't touch his scales, such as touching the relics of his former best friends, or breaking the contract in front of him, or destroying Liyue Harbor.
Then you can sit in front of him and talk to him calmly.
Even if he did something out of bounds, he would laugh it off and not get angry at all.
"Looks like this god is really good-tempered."
Eula sighed.
Compared to the grumpy thunder god, both the rock god and the wind god can be said to have no gods at all.
"yes."
"So I wanted to try and see if I could talk to him about a deal."
"As a result, I couldn't find him, and I don't know where this uncle went to play."
Lin Feng shook his head, his face full of pity.
This time.
He'd already walked around all the corners of Liyue Harbor.
But I just couldn't find Zhongli.
In this regard, he could only assume that this master would not have been in Liyue Harbor to see his immortal friends.
The immortals have no sense of time.
It's normal to play for a month and not come back.
"How are you going to trade with the rock god this time?"
Eula joked, "You can't use the safety of the country as a bargaining chip this time, as you did in Mondstadt, right?" Didn't you just say that the rock god would be angry if he did this? β
"That's for sure."
Lin Feng replied with a smile: "But what can be traded, you have to ask this rock god what he wants first." β
"I can purify the karma of the land of Liyue, I can help him design a retirement plan, I can help him solve the hidden dangers of a businessman's governance, there are always a lot of normal chips that can be used."
"Merchant rule?"
I heard a new term again.
Eula thought for a moment and asked, "Isn't it good for a merchant to govern the country?" Isn't Dawn Winery in Mondstadt also part of the management of Mondstadt? β
"What kind of merchant is Dawn Winery?"
"Falgar almost killed them with a single word."
"There's no comparison to a businessman like Liyue who can control the power of the country."
The expression on Lin Feng's face was quite disdainful: "And when it comes to the ruler of Mondstadt, it is not his turn at Dawn Winery at all, it is the matter of the Knights of Favonius and the Church of Favonius." β
"Oh no, it's the Gunnhild family."
"Huh?"
Eula snorted: "Why do you say that?" β
As a native of Mondstadt, Lin Feng's current topic has completely aroused her interest.
"A thousand years ago, there were three families in Old Mondstadt."
"The Lawrence family, the Gunnhild family, and the Ryunfender family."
"You should know that, right?"
Lin Feng asked pointedly.
This kind of history that Mondstadt children know, Eula naturally knows.
She nodded, "Yes." β
"And what about a thousand years from now?"
Lin Feng asked again with a smile.
Without waiting for Eula to answer, he continued: "It's still these three families. β
"Here's the difference."
"The Lawrence family, the former rulers of Mondstadt, have become street rats that everyone beats."
"The Lygunfender family, which had hidden in the shadows in the past, came to the forefront, and the Dawn Winery, established in the name of Dawn, became the backbone of Mondstadt's economy in one fell swoop."
"And the Gunnhild family, which has been dormant for a long time, has since firmly controlled the two powerful institutions of Mondstadt, the Church of Favonius and the Knights of Favonius."
"Also, do you think Vanessa ordered the eternal spurning of the Lawrence family only because she was persecuted by the Lawrence family?"
"Nope."
Lin Feng shook his finger: "She is for the stability of the Knights of Favonius and to prevent the resurgence of the Lawrence family." β
"So she had to nail the Lawrence family to the coffin board completely, and not give them a chance to resurrect."
"How?"
"That is, all the dirty water from the black cauldron will be poured on Lawrence, and all the potential Lawrence people will be wiped out, and the black history of the Lawrence family will be written into the history books, poetry, and legends of Mondstadt."
"As for helping her do all this."
"It's the Gunnhild family and the Legon Fender family."
"And that 'traitor' of your family, your ancestor, Kryuz Reed Lawrence."
Eula let out a sigh of relief.
Listening to it now, she didn't feel the same sense of loss and anger as she had in Mondstadt.
It's just that I'm still a little panicked in my heart.
However, Lin Feng's words did not stop.
He continued: "In the history of Mondstadt, have you ever noticed that the five words Gunnhilde have always been throughout the history of Mondstadt. β
Eula recalled it carefully, then nodded slightly.
Indeed it is.
From the legend of the storm god Dykarapian, Gunnhild was the family that wore a crown for the wind god.
Thousands of years ago, it was also the Gunnhilde family who first responded to the call of the Vanessa Uprising and became the first nobles to raise the banner of overthrowing Lawrence.
Today's Gunnhild family.
The head of the family, Frederica, and the eldest daughter, Jean, are in a high position in the Knights, especially Jean, who is a new dandelion knight and will succeed to the position of Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius in the future.
and Simon Page, who is the archbishop, if he hadn't been killed by Lin Feng who came to seek revenge, then the Church of Zephyr would also be under the control of the Gunnhild family.
Looking at Eula, who had a complicated complexion, Lin Feng shook his head and said.
"You could say that the Gunnhild family is indeed dedicated to Mondstadt."
"But you can't say that the Gunnhild family is unselfish."
"For example, Jean Gunnhilde, I have dealt with her a bit, and compared to Diluc Legunfender, she is too immature and immature in terms of practical experience and methods."
"But why was she appointed as the future Grand Master?"
"And her award, a knight who has never proven himself, why would he be awarded the title of Dandelion Knight only the best knight of the Knights of Favonius?"
"And Diluc, who gained the Vision before her and was the youngest cavalry captain in the history of the Knights of Favonius, has not even inherited the name of the Dawn Knight of the Ancestors until I left!"
"Whew-"
Having said so much in one breath, Lin Feng let out a long breath and concluded, "The Gunnhild family is the one who hides the most in Mondstadt. β
After hearing this, Eula's face was a little heavy.
But she didn't say anything, just shook her head.
Then.
She leaned on Lin Feng's shoulder, looked at the scenery outside the window, and sighed leisurely.
Because Lin Feng wasted a lot of time looking for Zhongli.
Therefore, the horse-drawn carriage on the return journey was extremely fast.
That's the speed.
It's also the time when it's only one day away from the time set by Harlequin.
It was enough to make it to Solstice.
Rest until the next day, when it was close to evening.
Lin Feng set off again.
But this time, he didn't wear that flamboyant military uniform, just casually put on a civilian suit and set off.
The executive's dinner.
He made up his mind to eat.
When people ask something, 'Ah, yes, yes, yes'.
Let them quarrel with them, eat their own stomachs and quickly leave.
"Troy!"
As soon as he walked to the door of the Winter Palace, Lin Feng saw Tartaglia waving vigorously to himself.
This kid is dressed differently than himself.
He was wearing the executive's custom-made uniform and cape.
Fortunately, civilians are forbidden to travel within 10 kilometers of the Winter Palace.
Otherwise, with Tartaglia's executive uniform, he would have to fall to his knees on the street.
"You're early, what? Can't wait to catch up with your old boss? β
Lin Feng stepped forward and quipped.
Tartaglia's face immediately changed, and after raising his fingers and shouting vigorously, he whispered: "At the feet of the Empress, be cautious in your words and deeds." β
βοΌβ
Lin Feng looked at Tartaglia from head to toe, and then pinched him hard in the face.
"Ouch-"
"What are you doing!"
Tartaglia, who was in pain, slapped Lin Feng's hand away, rubbed his face and glared at him angrily.
"Let's see if you're the Doctor in disguise."
Lin Feng smiled: "When did you become so timid?" It's not even in the palace, it's like a frightened dove. β
"You put.!"
"Phew, I respect Her Majesty."
Tartaglia smacked him heavily, and then said to the palace with a solemn look on his chest: "I have sworn allegiance before Her Majesty, so naturally I must always maintain my respect and admiration for Her Majesty. β
"ββ?"
Lin Feng stretched out his voice, but instead of laughing at Tartaglia again, he laughed: "That's right, it makes sense." β
Just as the two of them walked and talked.
Puccinella, the fifth [rooster] who was the mayor of Solstice, also arrived surrounded by troops.
See the pomp and circumstance of his travels.
Lin Feng muttered in a low voice: "Let's talk about it all day long, this old guy is not much more flamboyant than the two of us." β
He still remembers the last time Puccinella said he was flamboyant.
It turned out that the old guy was good.
I found such a large group of people.
I didn't know, I thought Her Majesty was traveling.
The curtain of the carriage had just been lifted.
Immediately, two Fatui soldiers, one tall and one short, half-knelt down and used their backs to build a human ladder for the diminutive Puccinella.
"Aren't these the two young talents of our Solsticeβ"
"Hehehe."
"I'm really happy from the bottom of my heart to see that we can have a genius like you in the winter."
As soon as Puccinella got out of the carriage, he began to laugh heartily.
"Lord [Rooster] praised it falsely."
Lin Feng and Tartaglia stroked their chests together and saluted him.
"Eh, Ajax, you're also an executive now, and you're not a big man."
Puccinella walked in front of Tartaglia and smiled so hard that he couldn't see it.
But he didn't say anything about Lin Feng also calling him 'adult'.
Praise Tartaglia.
Puccinella paused his cane slightly, walked ahead like an elegant gentleman, and waved Lin Feng and Tartaglia to follow.
As he walked, he said, "Young people, this is the first time you have come to the celebration banquet that belongs exclusively to the executives. β
"Be careful at the table, and remember not to interrupt other people's conversations, otherwise be careful that some people will be unhappy."
"Thank you, Lord [Rooster], for the reminder." Lin Feng and Tartaglia nodded.
Although Puccinella said not to use the term "adult".
But as his old subordinate, Tartaglia has become accustomed to being called, and he can really change it for a while.
As for Lin Feng.
He's just trying to get some people in the way.
For example, this will happen to 'meet' the second [Doctor] Dortore.
"Yo, isn't this a doctor?"
"It's been a long time since I've seen each other."
As soon as they met, before Puccinella and Tartaglia could speak, Lin Feng took the lead in greeting them.
Listening to Lin Feng call the rooster an adult, calling himself the name of the doctor directly.
Dotore said lightly: "As a member of the Empress, only Her Majesty the Empress can be called an adult by you. β
A light word.
And he put Puccinella on top of the fire pit.
"Hehe, Troy, did you hear me, you can't call me Lord anymore."
Puccinera's face remained unchanged, and he kept saying with a smile: "Otherwise, some people will have to go to Her Majesty the Empress to make a small report~~~"
Lin Feng looked left and right.
There is a mentality that it is not a big deal to watch the excitement.
I didn't expect that this Dotore and Puccinella could also tear up as soon as they met.
I really didn't know about it before.
was said by Puccinella to be a person who made small reports.
The always arrogant Dotore's face changed slightly.
However, he said in a calm voice, "I hope that the next time your soldiers need a potion, your mouth will still be so hard." β
"If I can get more potions for a small report, then I really can't ask for it."
Puccinella did not shy away from saying that he would go to make a small report.
This kind of operation made Torre bored with himself.
He didn't continue to argue with Puccinella, but instead glanced at Lin Feng deeply, and then walked in front of them, and after a while, he couldn't see his figure.
"What is the doctor glaring at me for?"
"I just said hi to him."
Lin Feng pretended to be innocent and spread his hands.
At the same time, he looked around, as if looking for someone to prove that he had not deliberately instigated the rooster to quarrel with the doctor.
"Huh."
Puccinella smiled and didn't say anything.
The three of them continued to walk towards the palace.
Not for a while.
Lin Feng met another acquaintance.
Eighth seat [Ma'am] Rosalyn.
The arrogant and troublesome executive seems to have just recovered from the injuries he sustained in Mondstadt.
Her face, which was already fair, was now almost transparent.
And as soon as I saw Lin Feng.
As if she had seen an enemy, she waved her hand and an ice pick flew over.
Face her sudden attack.
Lin Feng was not in a hurry, just calmly watching the ice pick grow bigger and bigger in front of his eyes.
"Hey, Rosalyn!"
Lin Feng didn't panic yet, but Tartaglia beside him was in a hurry.
I saw him chop the ice pick into pieces with a hand knife, and then shouted at Rosalyn: "Rosaline, at the feet of Her Majesty, you dare to strike at her family Troy!" What do you want to do to offend Her Majesty's glory in such a way? β
"Hehehehe-hehe-"
At this moment, a laugh full of mockery suddenly came from the front: "You guy, a simple-minded guy with underdeveloped limbs, really think that this stupid woman dares to make a move?" β
"Heheha, it's ridiculous and naΓ―ve."
You don't have to look to know who it is.
No one's mouth stinks like this, except for the skirmishers.
And as soon as he opened his mouth, he shot indiscriminately, and directly scolded Rosalyn and Tartaglia together.
The appearance of the skirmishers.
Immediately attracted Rosalyn's firepower.
She folded her arms.
Although she was beaten hard by Albedo, she was still able to make a haughty demeanor, raised her chin and said, "I thought it was who, it turned out to be you, a doll that no one wants." β
"Why, don't you have to be a test subject for the Doctor today?"
Hear the phrase 'test subject for the doctor'.
The Balladeer's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in the same sneering tone, "I heard that you were almost killed on the spot in Mondstadt. β
"Hehe, as an executive officer, he almost died outside the mission."
"Sure enoughβ"
"You're still going to have some use for this tongue."
The balladeer also folded his arms and sneered, "But you don't seem to be able to take advantage of your mouth, dear, [ma'am]." β
"Hehehehe-hehe-"
It's messy!
It's all messed up!
The entire back garden of the Solstice Palace is in a mess!
Listening to the extremely aggressive ridicule of the executives, Lin Feng secretly exclaimed in his heart.
Especially when it was seen that Dotore and Rosalyn were deflated.
It's even more enjoyable!
"Yo, it's so lively here."
As if it wasn't chaotic enough, another suave voice interjected.
It is the ninth [rich] Pantarone.
After Pantarone, the voice of the [servant] Arecino also rang out.
"Did someone just do something to the best kid our [Fireplace House] has ever had?"
"Huh?"
"Rosalyn?"
"You seem to have a problem with my child?"
The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for Rosalyn.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see it.
Tartaglia, the Balladeers, Pantarone, Arecino, these people are all helping Lin Feng.
And Rosalyn, who took the lead, not only took a loss, but also had no advantage in her mouth.
At this time.
Puccinella, who had been smiling and watching the excitement, spoke.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the celebration is about to begin."
"Don't let Her Majesty wait."
Puccinella spoke.
Some of the people present laughed, some snorted coldly, some were expressionless, and some gloated.
In a word.
Each has its own expression.
The only thing that is the same is the footsteps of everyone walking into the palace together.
"Heh, it's really fun to watch now."
Lin Feng thought.
