"What's wrong?"

Finding that Lin Feng had been staring in the direction of the Lonely Cloud Pavilion, Eula asked curiously.

Lone Cloud Pavilion is not an island as imagined.

One of the most important elements of Liyue's lore, it is a famous tourist attraction in Liyue, and is visited by almost all foreign travelers and people who admire the legend of the rock god in Liyue.

It can't be said that there are a lot of people, but at least it can be regarded as an endless stream.

Therefore, Eula and the others couldn't tell what Lin Feng was looking at.

"Tsk, I saw an acquaintance."

Lin Feng retracted his gaze, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

I don't know why Sora is here, though.

However, this is the only blood relative of the Abyss Princess Ying, and he can do a lot of things with him.

"Acquaintances?"

Eula also tried her best to look into the distance.

But she watched for a long time, but she didn't see anyone she knew.

Pantarone and the Balladeer also glanced at each other, again without acquaintances.

"Is that a friend you used to know in Mondstadt?"

Since he didn't know him, he must be Lin Feng's friend before he met him.

"No, he's not my friend."

Lin Feng leaned on the railing and held his cheeks, and said with a smile: "I know him, it's quite familiar, it's just that he doesn't know me." ”

What kind of acquaintance is this?

Eula, the corners of their mouths twitched.

Not an acquaintance of an acquaintance.

Coupled with Lin Feng's appearance that he was going to harm people, the ghost knew which unlucky person he was fancy.

After the Lonely Cloud Pavilion.

It didn't take long for the ship to arrive.

Liyue Harbor is as prosperous as ever.

The changes made a few months ago don't seem to have had any impact on the lives of the people of Liyue.

In addition to the passenger and cargo ships that come and go, a new breed of armed ships are being installed and debugged in the southwest harbor of Liyue Harbor.

"Ningguang is really willing."

Lin Feng could see at a glance that this was the new Southern Cross fleet.

All the new ships used in this new fleet are new ships, and the equipment and facilities on board are also visible to the naked eye, which is much more advanced than the weapons equipped by the Millelith Army.

No doubt.

The only person who can pay such a big price for Beidou is Ningguang.

Previously in Liyue.

Due to the conflict with Ningguang, Lin Feng directly destroyed the entire Southern Cross fleet in response to Ningguang, and used strong means to deter this Tianquan Star, making her dare not be his enemy again.

At that time, it was the skirmishers who went to do this.

Therefore, when they saw this rejuvenated fleet, the stragglers couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

"Ningguang."

Pantarone pronounced the name for a moment, then shook his head and sighed.

When he left Liyue.

Ningguang had not yet become famous, and the Seven Stars of Liyue at that time were completely different from the Seven Stars of Liyue today.

In the days that followed.

He used his shadows to infiltrate and plunder Liyue, causing all the seven stars of Liyue to be overwhelmed at the time.

It's just that after this Ningguang came to power, his various methods began to be ineffective.

Even the xenomorph monster skin he had offered to the Empress was snatched away by Ningguang's spy leader named Yelan.

Although in that battle, he also ruined Yelan's bracelet.

But his treasure was actually robbed, and he didn't get anything back.

No matter how you look at it, it's a loss.

This annoyed Pantarone.

It was precisely because of this defeat that he got in touch with Lin Feng, and in one fell swoop, he brought down Liyue's bank, allowing the Northland Bank to gain a firm foothold in Liyue Harbor.

Just look at it now.

He couldn't tell whether the matter of getting on the line with Lin Feng was good or bad.

There is no forest wind.

Northland Bank wouldn't have such a strong influence in Liyue, and it wouldn't have gotten a chance to use the Heart of the Rock God to ascend to the gods.

But the problem is also after getting to know Lin Feng.

With his Northland Bank gone, he became a double traitor, the kind he didn't want to see until winter, and Liyue hated it.

"Hey."

"What do you want to do so much?"

"If it should be mine, it will be mine if I don't fight, and it is not destined to be mine, even if I work hard, it will not be fruitful."

Thinking of this, Pantarone was relieved, and a smile appeared on his serious face again.

Walk the streets of Liyue Harbor again.

Everything around is so familiar and strange at the same time.

This feeling is not only felt by Pantarone, but also by Lin Feng and Eula, who have only been away for a long time.

Liyue Harbor doesn't seem to have changed, but it seems to be different.

However, this matter had no effect on Eula and the newcomer Collet, and after saying a word to Lin Feng, they went to play after meeting Northland Bank.

Lin Feng didn't have the heart to play, but thought for a long time about what was different in Liyue Harbor.

It took a while.

He found the problem.

The layout of Liyue Harbor has indeed not changed.

But the atmosphere in Liyue Harbor has changed.

In addition to the usual port, the tension in the city of Liyue Harbor is so palpable that you can feel it even when you walk down the streets.

Specific performance.

First, there are more Millelith troops patrolling.

The second is the silence of storytellers.

Lin Feng and the others walked the street in a row, and none of the storytellers they were familiar with saw them.

The bustling tea stalls of the past were all silent, and the tea customers were quietly drinking their tea, and no one dared to express any opinion on the current situation in Liyue.

"A gag order?"

Pantarone, who was all too familiar with Liyue, could see at a glance what was going on.

"A gag order?"

"Yes, when there is an accident in the upper echelons of Liyue, an emergency decree will be issued to prevent public opinion from interfering with public sentiment."

"Tsk, isn't this my nemesis?"

Lin Feng complained.

What he is best at playing is to engage public opinion to harm social order.

Liyue's gag order was just the right thing to restrain her public opinion.

However, judging from Pantarone's words, this gag order is not something that can be issued at any time, but rather a decree that Liyue will issue when she is in an emergency.

"It seems that Liyue's political reform is not going very well, otherwise Ningguang would not have done this."

Lin Feng laughed.

Pantarone had also heard about Liyue's initiative to seek reform, and he was taken aback when he learned that the Jade Pavilion had landed on its own initiative.

Now that Lin Feng mentioned this matter again, he opened his mouth and asked, "How did you persuade that Heavenly Power Star to take the initiative to give up his rule at that time. ”

Until now.

Pantarone still didn't understand what Lin Feng was doing.

If a person does not stand at the apex of rights, then there is a way to let him give up his rights.

But Ningguang was the first person under Liyue's laissez-faire gods, and when it came to power, the Liyue Immortals were even less prevalent among mortals than Ningguang was eating at this meal.

But it is such a woman who stands at the top of her power, when the gods are about to give up her power, she chooses to give up the power in her hands, instead of taking advantage of this good opportunity to try to seize higher authority, but is willing to be a mortal under a real god.

In Pantarone's eyes, this is absolutely impossible.

At least he couldn't do that.

Looking at his complicated expression, Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders and said, "If I told you that she took the initiative to come to the door and chose this matter before I said it at the time, would you believe it or not?" ”

"Impossible."

Pantarone said categorically.

Take the initiative to come to the door.

How is this possible.

If Lin Feng said that Ningguang was threatened by him, even if it was said that he had to do so by using a trick, Pantarone would be able to accept it.

The only thing that Ningguang took the initiative to come to the door and chose to give up his rights was such a thing, he resolutely didn't believe it, and he didn't believe that this kind of thing would happen when he was killed.

"Hehe, believe it or not."

Lin Feng pursed his lips and didn't continue on this topic, letting Pantarone rack his brains there to weave all kinds of reasons for Ningguang.

The Balladeers couldn't catch up with them, and they weren't interested in anything from Liyue.

That's it.

The three big men walked all the way to the Northland Bank in silence.

Standing in front of the familiar gate, Pantarone stood in place, his expression inexplicably complicated.

This was originally his greatest asset.

Now it has become Lin Feng's private property.

What's even more ridiculous is that this was given away by himself, just to retaliate for Ningguang's mockery of himself at the beginning.

"Ahh

Faced with the situation as if it were yesterday, Pantarone sighed again.

From the rich to the nothing.

He didn't know whether to lament the impermanence of fate or to die too much.

"It's useless to sigh, and I won't give it back to you if you sigh."

At this time, Lin Feng was still talking cool words: "This is the largest foreign bank in Liyue that I have carefully managed, so don't even think about picking fruits." ”

"Fruit picking?"

Pantarone had never heard such a word, and was slightly stunned.

However, this was easy to understand, and he quickly understood, shook his head, and said, "I am already like this, and I still pick your fruit." ”

"Hey, who knows what the hell you're thinking."

"You!"

Pantarone, who had been scolded by Lin Feng all the way, turned his head angrily: "I don't have the same knowledge as you. ”

"Hmph."

The two of them bickered, and entered the Northland Bank with the stragglers who were like outsiders.

Compared to before Lin Feng left.

Northland Bank's business has expanded a lot.

Although it is no longer in the loan shark business, Northland Bank, with the support of Ningguang, has become the best investor in Liyue.

Only a few people come to handle business, and most of them are shops that come with various documents to attract investment.

All kinds of people come and go, and they are several times busier than before.

When the guard guarding the door saw Lin Feng and them coming in, he planned to step forward and ask what business to handle, but when he saw Lin Feng's face clearly, he immediately knelt on one knee and said in surprise: "I've seen my lord." ”

His move immediately attracted the attention of the rest of Northland Bank.

Then the news of the return of Troy Schneitzwich, senior inspector general and boss behind Northland Bank, quickly spread throughout Northland Bank.

Now as the general manager, Andre heard the news, immediately put down the business to be done, rushed to the second floor of the bank with excitement, and came to Lin Feng.

And when he saw Pantarone, his excited mood immediately cooled down, and he instinctively knelt down on his knees and called out respectfully: "Lord Pantarone, you are here." ”

"I'm here, and you seem upset."

André's attitude made Pantarone very dissatisfied.

No matter how you say it.

He is also the former owner of Liyue Northland Bank.

As a result, when Andre saw Lin Feng, he couldn't wait to pounce and shout his father, and then saw that he was such a ghost?

"My lord, Andre doesn't dare."

Hearing Pantarone's words, Andre hurriedly lowered his head and responded in a panic.

"Hmph."

Pantarone snorted coldly and did not continue to train him.

But Lin Feng said angrily beside him: "Don't scare Andre, he is now my subordinate, not yours!" ”

“.”

Pantarone was a little uncomfortable, waved his hand and sat down on the main seat.

This is his last stubbornness.

People can lose, momentum can no longer lose.

Sensing that the atmosphere between Lin Feng and Pantarone was a little delicate, Andre didn't dare to raise his head even more, and kept thinking about what Lin Feng would ask him in the bottom of his heart.

He didn't have to wait long before Lin Feng asked, "What's going on with Liyue lately?" ”

"Liyue is reforming, but the merchants are not happy about it, and they are collectively demonstrating."

Andrei's answer was concise and to the point.

"Demonstrations?" Lin Feng raised his eyebrows: "Didn't I kill that group of thorns before I left?" What kind of threat do they show? And I walked all the way here, and I didn't find anything unusual. ”

"Your Excellency, you don't know."

"The person who took the lead is a young man named Zhiyi."

"He's a student of the original Celestial Pivot."

"The reason for this incident is that Liyue has implemented a reform system, and most of the other Seven Stars' subordinates have been given key positions, but this Zhiyi has not been given real power."

Therefore, he united with his Seven Star subordinates who also did not get the position to protest.

"This Zhiyi is a very capable person, and he does things very secretly, and when he suddenly attacked, the people in power in Liyue were taken by surprise."

"And this person is very smart, he knows that Liyue's basic business is the port business, so he didn't disrupt the port business, and focused on those small merchants and hawkers, and spread a lot of shady scenes and some new policies that seem to be true and false, which caused a huge panic."

Andrei reported everything that had happened recently.

Lin Feng listened carefully, and sneered: "It's really interesting, Ningguang asked me to get rid of those big businessmen, but I didn't expect to be disgraced by such a stunned young man." ”

"Tsk, now this thing has taken the lead, but it has put itself in a safe place."

"It's interesting, I really didn't find out before, this Zhiyi is really a bit of a skill."

"Silence."

"A gag order? Hehe. ”

"What idiot came up with the idea."

"Issuing a gag order at this time, isn't this exactly in the hands of Zhiyi? The people will only become more and more dissatisfied, and they will not even be able to end up at that time. ”

"Stupid, stupid."
