Chapter 192: Zhongli's Divine Heart
In a mansion somewhere in Liyue Harbor, Lin Feng was sorting out his clothes in front of the mirror, slightly dissatisfied.
"Oh, I haven't done this job for many years, and my craft is a lot rusty."
Since he was thirteen years old, he has basically been killing enemies head-on, and rarely assassinating like this.
Now Leng Buding is once again in his old business, and he is inexplicably not used to it.
Behind Lin Feng.
A young man who is not gorgeously dressed has been breathing for a long time because of a sudden 'accident'.
According to the agreement between him and Ningguang.
This is the third person to die in an 'accident'.
Originally, Lin Feng thought that among Ningguang's assassination targets would be opponents from the Seven Stars of Liyue.
I didn't expect it.
This list is full of wealthy Liyue businessmen from all walks of life.
Most of them are the kind of doers who have the power and the money.
In Ningguang's words.
These are the hidden dangers of future unrest.
Therefore, it is necessary to strike first, lest they form a faction and disturb Liyue's peace.
Lin Feng strongly agreed.
From this point of view.
Ningguang's wrists and eyes are much more powerful than those in power in Inazuma.
She is precautionary, dealing with these people who may bring turmoil in the future, and trying to reduce bloodshed in the reform.
Inazuma's Yae Miko and Ray movies first let all these hidden dangers detonate in advance, and then concentrate on dealing with those who oppose the will of the shogun with iron and blood.
Two very different means.
But it has the style of the two ruling gods.
The one who was killed by Lin Feng today.
It was the Zhiyi who he once regarded as a potential collaborator.
This disciple of the Celestial Pivot Star.
Probably never thought of it.
That is the act of him hooking up with Pantarone, in fact, it has long been visible under the nose of the Secretary of General Affairs.
His ambition has long been seen clearly by Ningguang.
If Liyue hadn't changed, Ningguang would have ignored him and let Celestial Star make his own decisions then.
But now Liyue is ready for a big change.
This kind of person who has the ability, skill, and ambition but is not right-minded will become a bomb that can be detonated at any time.
And cleanup objects like this.
There are a total of thirty-one people on the list.
Lin Feng naturally couldn't deal with it all at once, he could only solve one at a time interval, and wait until the last few were left to solve it in one go, so as not to give them time to raise their vigilance and bring turmoil.
Check again.
After making sure that Zhiyi was completely dead, and there was no possibility of pretending to be dead, Lin Feng left with confidence.
It's easy to solve.
As soon as Lin Feng went out, he saw Wendy squatting at the door, bored and playing with ants there.
Eula and Tartaglia are also watching intently as he turns over and over there bullying a little ant.
"Hey, why are you so idle?"
Lin Feng couldn't help laughing.
The longer he came into contact with Wendy, the more he liked the Aeolus.
Unlike the serious and stereotypical Zhongli and the rigid-headed Ray movies.
Wendy is a very mortal deity.
His affection for people.
It comes from the heart and is willing to go to the mortal world and integrate into the life of mortals.
If you have the chance.
Lin Feng even doubted that he would give up his identity as a god and become a carefree and real person.
"Well, don't mention it."
"It's not like Mondstadt, and the people of Liyue don't like to listen to my songs."
"They all like a kind of music called opera."
"But I can't sing."
Wendy dropped the small stick in her hand, her face a little distressed.
Unexpectedly, as one of the Seven Archons of the World, there are also things he can't do in Teyvat.
"You just sang here?"
Lin Feng's mouth opened slightly, and he said incredulously.
He killed people and set fire to him inside, and he was actually trying to sing to attract attention.
"Hmm."
Wendy rightfully said, "I'm the best singer in all of Watt, so of course I'm going to give Liyue's music a try." ”
"It's a pity."
"Ahh
"Don't mention it"
on this.
Lin Feng couldn't say anything.
Liyue's songs are inherently difficult to sing, and Mondstadt's songs are a system that leans towards poetry.
Two completely different singing styles and styles.
Even if you are a god, it is not easy to learn to penetrate in a few days.
"Let's go, let's pick up someone from Liyue Harbor."
This trip out of the house.
The real purpose of killing Zhiyi is to pick up people in Liyue Harbor.
As for who it is.
No doubt.
It was Ganyu Yanqing, who had not returned for a long time, and Zhongli, who had only been to Inazuma for a few days.
Ningguang had already made up his mind to emulate Liyue's transformation.
Then there was no reason why she didn't inform the trio who were conducting an inspection in Inazuma.
Several people who received the news.
I didn't care about continuing the investigation in Inazuma, so I immediately hurried back.
Although they didn't tell you when it would be Liyue.
But Wendy, who has ears and ears, is here.
When these people will arrive, it is very clear.
Since the accident of the Southern Cross fleet.
Far from abating, the hustle and bustle of Liyue Harbor has become busier and busier.
This is all due to the weakening of Liyue's power to maintain order in the open seas.
Especially smuggling.
In recent times, it has been even more rampant.
The Millelith Army alone can only maintain order near the port, but it is unable to closely monitor and control the pirate ships and smuggling ships that are rampaging in the vicinity, and people will always take advantage of the loopholes.
Like in the assassination list in Lin Feng's hands.
There are several big businessmen who specialize in smuggling.
After the passenger boat in which Zhongli was on docked.
Seeing Lin Feng and the others who came to pick them up, Ganyu and the three of them couldn't help but look at each other.
When he receives a message from Ningguang that Liyue is preparing to emulate Inazuma and needs them to return.
They came back without stopping.
There was no news at all.
If it was Ningguang Yelan or Beidou who came to pick up the wind, they could still understand.
But how is that Troy Schneitzvich.
And then there's the Eleventh Executive.
Among the three, except for Keqing and Tartaglia who had a relationship in Wanmin Hall, Ganyu and Yanfei can be said to have no intersection with him at all.
As for the young man who was dressed in green clothes and was a foreigner at a glance.
Yanfei and Keqing don't know each other.
But when Ganyu saw him, his eyes widened instantly.
Barbatos, the wind god of Mondstadt!
Why is he here!
also mixed up with his junior brother.
"Sister Ganyu, do you know that?"
Yanfei asked curiously.
After Inazuma and her party, her relationship with Ganyu became a lot closer.
The title has also changed from Miss Ganyu to Sister Ganyu.
"Uh-huh."
Ganyu hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say.
For this kind of game the gods of the world.
The identity of Barbatos, the god of the wind, must never be stated.
Fortunately.
Zhongli relieved her, "Wendy, that's Wendy, the bard from Mondstadt, with whom I once befriended. ”
"Bard?"
Yanfei and Keqing couldn't help but be curious.
The bards of Mondstadt, they know.
It's similar to Liyue's opera and storyteller, but how does this identity get mixed up with a high-ranking official like Troy Schnetzwich.
It seems that their relationship is not bad, and there is always talk and laughter there.
Soon.
Liyue's passenger ship arrived.
After a little greeting, Lin Feng invited everyone to Wanmin Hall to pick them up.
Actually, the last time I threatened Ningguang.
Ningguang had given him Crescent Moon Xuan.
But Lin Feng didn't like to go to the restaurant that was now in his name, and he often went to Xiangling.
None of them.
Wanmintang is doing good business now.
But he still sticks to his heart, and the food he makes is still the same taste as before, similar to his hometown.
It's as simple as that.
Along.
Ganyu and they are full of problems.
It's just that there are too many people on the street to ask, so they have to endure it.
It wasn't until I arrived at the private room of Wanmin Hall that I was completely quiet after serving the food.
Keqing, who was straightforward from the heart, asked, "Mr. Oedipus, what's going on with Ningguang?" ”
Her face was full of bewilderment.
During this time in Inazuma.
She had imagined countless times in her mind what Liyue would do if she implemented such a change. What kind of resistance will there be? Who will resist, who will compromise, and where should their family go?
Especially the condensation of the Heavenly Power Star.
In such a change.
The woman who had made Liyue a business would undoubtedly be the hardest hit.
Whether it is to deprive her of the rights in her hands or to hinder her business in the future.
Keqing, Yanfei and Ganyu also reached a consensus.
That is, Ningguang must be the one who resists the most.
But now she was the first to raise her hand in favor, even the proposer.
What's going on here?
All the way.
They were always puzzled.
And Lin Feng's reply made it even more difficult for them to keep their mouths shut: "It's very simple, Ningguang is a smart person." ”
"Smart people?"
Keqing was puzzled.
Yan Fei was puzzled.
Ganyu, who claims to know Ningguang, is even more puzzled.
"What are you doing in Inazuma, fools know."
Lin Feng stretched out his finger and pointed, "Yelan's intelligence network is very powerful, not much inferior to the [Fireplace House] of Solstice. ”
"So your every move in Inazuma, in fact, Ningguang is clear even if he is sitting on the Jade Pavilion."
"Now that you know you're looking at Inazuma's changes."
She also knows that change will bring stability down the road.
"So as a smart person, she made this decision."
As soon as the words fell.
Suddenly a pin drop could be heard in the huge room.
Is it really that simple?
You know, this is the upend of the entire Liyue regime.
Even Ganyu, who knew the emperor's will in advance, didn't dare to make such a decisive decision.
"Don't think about it."
"I really didn't play a role in that."
"She makes all the decisions herself."
Lin Feng laughed.
He was telling the truth.
And when he said this, he also deliberately said: "But Ningguang has found me to cooperate, and asked me to help her advance the changes that may occur." ”
"What's going on?"
Keqing asked hurriedly.
Compared to Ganyu and Keqing, who were only frowning slightly.
Keqing looked quite anxious.
Because Liyue's transformation will inevitably involve her own family.
If Ningguang puts his family in the column of accidents.
Wouldn't that be a big deal?
However, Lin Feng's next answer made her breathe a sigh of relief
"Don't worry."
"All of the Seven Stars of Liyue are not among them."
After all that is said
Lin Feng pursed his lips and said, "Actually, the biggest hidden danger is the Liyue Seven Stars, maybe Ningguang has the confidence to convince them to give up the infighting and accept the change?" ”
It makes a lot of sense.
Even Keqing couldn't say that there was something wrong with such a statement.
"I hope so."
She could only sigh and give hope to see later.
A reception feast.
It ended in an eerie silence.
Not even Wendy could adjust the atmosphere.
The reason is also very simple.
Everyone has their own thoughts.
Keqing wondered if her family would make trouble.
Ganyu is worried about whether he can do a good job if he really hands over the power to himself.
Yanfei is considering the issue of Liyue's laws, and it is inevitable that they will have to revise it to ensure perfection.
Therefore, there were not even many people speaking at this reception banquet.
Everyone ate quietly.
After eating, they went back to their own homes and looked for their mothers.
Only Zhongli, Lin Feng, and Eula stayed safely.
"Emperor, don't look at me like that, in fact, I'm quite surprised."
Looking at Zhongli with a strange face, Lin Feng spread his hands helplessly.
It happened suddenly.
He wasn't even mentally prepared.
"When I saw Liyue's letter, I thought it was done by you to coerce Ningguang."
Zhongli shook his head, "I thought you were doing it for the sake of the Heart of God. ”
"Hey." Lin Feng said with a smile: "Is my reputation already so stinky? ”
"Not like that."
"But with my understanding of Ningguang, it's really hard to imagine that she actually took the initiative to bring this up."
Zhongli's rock-solid face still has incredible words written on it until now.
Liyue's biggest merchant is willing to give up his own interests to embrace changes like never before.
Replace it with who comes.
I'm afraid it's all his idea.
"That's why I said she's a smart person."
"She guessed that you were the ones who made this decision, so she was willing to make such a decision."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "Don't think about it, it's not just your celestial star's problem. ”
"I'm sure she's been wondering why you're all going to Inazuma for a long time."
"Later, when the three immortals and I got rid of Dotore, she arrived at the scene as soon as possible and saw the devastated Jade Tomb."
"After this."
"It's your star."
"She immediately realized that you were trying to help me, and combined with my return from the Inazuma Sea, the three rulers of Liyue were in Inazuma to investigate the change."
So she made the decision on the spot.
Lin Feng smiled again: "I admit it, I underestimated her before, I always thought she was just an unscrupulous businessman, but now, she can be called a hero." ”
"Means, determination, exceptions, ability."
"Aside from her lack of strength, she is more than capable of being the leader of Liyue."
Evaluation of Lin Feng.
Zhongli nodded slightly in affirmation.
Immediately, a smile appeared on his old-fashioned face, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a divine heart shining with golden light appeared out of thin air.
"Liyue's transformation isn't yet complete, though."
"But I already see the changes in Liyue in my heart, and I can see the future of Liyue as well."
"At this point, the contract has been concluded."
"This heart of God is yours."
After listening to Zhongli's words.
Lin Feng and Eula couldn't help but feel ecstatic on their faces.
