Chapter Forty-Four: The Despicable Liyue People

"You've got the Lyre of the Sky! Now it's time to make good on your promise, Liyue people! ”

Looking at An Ping, who was holding the piano and checking it over and over again, the leader finally couldn't help but remind him.

"Oh yes, you can rest assured that you will do it."

So Anping took a torch, took out all the articles in the box, and lit the box with a fire.

"What do you mean by that?!"

When the leader of the Fatui saw An Ping's movements, he looked at him incredulously.

"Didn't our agreement burn the box? The contract has been made, and I burned the box as agreed! ”

An Ping had a harmless smile on his face.

"Despicable Liyue people! You don't talk about it! ”

The leader let out a roar of rage.

"Despicable? I'm just doing what I promised. ”

This kind of adjective doesn't even have the slightest lethality to Anping. He picked up the Lyre of the Sky and picked up the Chief's ill literature to beckon Eula to get out of here.

"Do they care?"

Eula glanced at the leader of the Fatui who was scolding, as well as the small leaders who were piling up with him, and the Thunderbolt Warlock.

"Let's let the Knights of Favonius take it away later, it's still quite hard for us to drag them and hold these things again."

Anping took the leader's scolding directly as the wind in his ears, and left the secret room without looking back with a headache and returned the same way.

"Anyway, is there any use for you to keep these words?"

On the way back, Eula was a little curious about it.

"It's useless, just trying to disgust him and that guy named Madam."

It's just a little bit of Anping's bad taste.

"Is it that simple? I thought you were going to use these words to interrogate him again about what kind of cargo your fleet was carrying? ”

"You said that!"

Anping turned his head and glanced at Eula, who was walking side by side with him, and said mysteriously:

"Actually, I've just discovered something."

"What is it?"

"In the secret room where the Sky Lyre was kept, the size of the dust left on the ground was very close to our cargo box, and I thought that the goods we brought here must have been stored there first. So I took a closer look, and sure enough, I found some clues. ”

Anping raised his index finger to Eula's nose.

"You smell it, there should still be a residual smell."

Although she was a little dissatisfied with Anping's sudden gesture of putting her finger in front of her nose, Eula still sniffed obediently.

"It's gunpowder!"

Eula immediately smelled a very recognizable smell.

"That's right! Although it was very well packed during the shipment, we didn't find it, but it was probably because some powder leaked out during the inspection or some leaked out during the transportation, and I found the gunpowder right along the edge of the seal, and there is a good chance that the shipment from Liyue was loaded with gunpowder. ”

Anping said his analysis, but he actually had a doubt.

"But I just don't understand why the Fatui in Mondstadt can't produce their own gunpowder, so why do they smuggle it from Liyue?"

"About this..."

Eula glanced at Anping, and the meaning in her eyes was a little strange.

An Ping looked at her in confusion and blinked.

"You may not believe it, but in fact, the raw materials for Mondstadt's gunpowder manufacturing are monopolized by one child."

Even Eula herself thinks she's talking about it.

Are you kidding me!? What child of an arms king can still monopolize the raw materials for the manufacture of gunpowder?

An Ping almost blurted out this sentence.

But then he suddenly thought of a fiery young figure, so that An Ping didn't say the words in his heart.

"The kid you're talking about, maybe it's Klee?"

"So you know Klee?"

Eula was a little surprised, she didn't know that Anping had been hit by Klee's Enhanced Bomb.

"It's a long story..."

Anping told Eula that he had come to Mondstadt with the fleet last month and had been wounded by Klee and had been in bed for a week.

"I don't know if I'm lucky, if I hadn't been injured by Klee, I might have been captured and imprisoned here by the Fatui."

After speaking, An Ping smiled bitterly, and he seemed to have some meaning of blessing in disguise.

"I didn't expect you and the Knights to have such a story before."

"It's a coincidence."

“…”

Then the two of them walking in the dim secret passage suddenly fell silent, and there seemed to be no more to talk about, and only the footsteps of Eula's high heels were left in the secret passage where the two of them walked side by side.

"Ahh

Anping suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong with you!?"

Eula, who was taken aback, quickly observed Anping, but he didn't seem to be out of the ordinary, and he didn't look like he had stepped on a mechanism.

"My Eula! My Wave Rider! How can I, how can I melt your ice! ”

It turned out that it was just that Anping suddenly fell ill and wanted to live, but after reading two sentences, he found that Eula's face was like frost, and he couldn't read it anymore.

"Read! Why don't you read it?! ”

Eula clasped her hands to her chest, and her apricot eyes widened.

"If you don't read it, you don't read it, it's boring."

An Ping shook his head, if Eula had smashed his chest with a small fist with a red face, he might have been able to continue reading, but with Eula now, An Ping suspected that his chest would be pierced by a big sword.

"Humph! Can I see that sentence as a challenge to me? ”

Eula's brows condensed together, staring at Anping deadly.

Challenge?! What a challenge!? Why did you suddenly cross over to a challenge!?

With something in his hand, An Ping hurriedly shook his head.

"I didn't mean that!"

"Coward!"

Eula shook her head in disappointment, walked in front of Anping, raised her hand and waved.

"I've written down my two feuds tonight! Just wait for me to take revenge on you! ”

"Huh?! Why is there one more hatred! ”

It's a pity that Eula doesn't explain to Anping anymore and doesn't talk to him anymore.

Sure enough, it's better not to get sick in front of girls casually, Anping sighed and followed behind Eula.

After exiting the chamber, Anping returned to the cell where the crew and Schubert were being held at Eula's suggestion.

The crew was still asleep, but Schubert had calmed down.

When he saw Eula and Anping walking over, he finally raised his head and stared at Eula .

"You traitor to the Lawrence family, you are a disgrace to the Lawrence family!"

"Does the glory of the Lawrence family mean being locked up in prison like you, uncle?"

In the face of Schubert's insults, Eula covered Anping's mouth with her hand and was about to open her mouth to fight back, and looked coldly at Schubert in the cell and asked rhetorically.

"If you hadn't betrayed the Lawrence family and joined forces with outsiders to deceive me, how could I have ended up like this!"

Schubert threw the pot directly at Eula.

"But it's good that you helped me make the decision! Right now! Eula, I'll give you one last chance to make a meritorious service! Kill this outsider next to you, and get me out. In that case, you're still the jewel of my Lawrence family! ”

"You actually called me a knight to hurt my companion? Uncle, are you really crazy? ”

"Eula, you're from the Lawrence family! And you know what!? I've given the Fatui the map of Mondstadt's defenses, and now Mondstadt's defenses are no match for Ironskin! This is your last chance, kill him! ”

Eula looked coldly at her hysterical uncle, and her heart was like ashes.

It seems that his paranoia has not been cured, and Anping feels that he should take some drastic medicine.

"The city defense map you are talking about, is this piece of waste paper that was thrown in the trash can like garbage?"

Anping took out the worn, yellowed drawing from his clothes and laid it out in front of Schubert's eyes.

"This is my Lawrence family's Mondstadt map! Why do you have!? ”

After Schubert stretched out his hand from the prison bars and grabbed the city defense map to inspect it, he asked in disbelief with trembling hands.

"Didn't I tell you? Trash cans! Do you want me to repeat it? In the trash! ”

After An Ping finished speaking loudly, he sneered and watched Schubert fall again, sitting on the chair and muttering to himself.

"Lie to me, you are lying to me again..."

"Oh, the glory of your Lawrence family, like this outdated city defense map from hundreds of years ago, is worthless, and it only deserves to be thrown into the trash, you know?"

"And you keep emphasizing that Eula is from your Lawrence family, you don't think Eula will choose your Lawrence surname if she can choose, do you? It's time for you to see yourself, you're already drowning, and you're still going to hold on to Lawrence's stone in the dung pit and ask someone to drown with you? ”

Anping's words were like sharp blades, cutting through Schubert's illusions one by one and cutting through his heart. With every word, Schubert's face turned pale, and he could not even sit in a chair, but collapsed on the ground and curled up in a ball to wrap himself in that gorgeous dress.

"Okay, don't talk about it, my surname is Lawrence."

Eula stopped Anping's desire to continue falling into the well.

"You don't want to sit down!"

"Speaking ill of the Lawrence family in front of me, in short, I will also write down this hatred first. As for you, uncle, think carefully before the Knights arrive, you can choose to cooperate with us, or you can continue to resist. But the surname Lawrence must no longer exist. ”

Eula glared at Anping, and then looked at Schubert curled up on the ground with pity.

Subsequently, Eula didn't want to see Schubert now, and walked to the front with Anping.

"You take the harp and call the people of the Knights to come, I'm here to guard, if reinforcements come, I can resist it."

An Ping nodded.

But just as he was about to move, he heard footsteps in the passageway.

There are quite a few people!

Anping and Eula glanced at each other, and stood on the left and right sides of the prison railing to hide their bodies first.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and I didn't know whether it was friend or foe, An Ping's heartbeat slowly accelerated as the footsteps approached.

"Inside, there won't be an ambush inside, Ying, you have to protect me."

When the footsteps reached the door, An Ping suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Paimon!"

Confirming that it was a friendly army, An Ping finally put his mind at ease and did not hide, and took the initiative to say hello to the side of the passage.

"It seems to be Anping's voice!"

When the little guy heard this, he rushed out of the passage happily and rode onto Anping's neck as a matter of course.

"It's to calm them! Don't worry, come in! ”

Paimon yells toward the side of the tunnel.

Then Anping saw the angel's gift, the tavern owner, Qin, and Ying walked in from the passage.

"Why are you here!?"

I didn't feel very surprised to see Ying and Qin Anping, but what did a bar owner come over to mix? However, looking at the Vision of God hanging on the belt around the boss's waist, Anping felt that he was probably the most dish-eating one here.

Anping automatically ignored Paimon, who was riding around his neck.

"We came to look for the Sky Lyre, but we didn't expect the Fatui to lock up the members of your fleet here, no wonder you will be the first to go."

Captain Qin glanced left and right, and understood why Anping and the others were here.

"Hee-hee, I found not only the captain, but also the Sky Lyre you wanted! Don't be too polite, Master Jean, because I've discovered a lot of secrets. ”

Anping took out the Sky Lyre and asked for credit. After all, seeing Ying and Qin Captain together, the thing that was framed must have been explained clearly.

"Oh, well done. If the Knights can't give you the right thanks, then you can come to me at Dawn Winery, and I'll exchange a Mora number that satisfies you for the secret you've discovered. ”

Diluc nodded, and said that Anping almost sold the Sky Lyre to him directly.

"Senior! This doesn't seem to be the time to take on the Knights. ”

Jean slapped her head.

Predecessor?

Anping looked at Jean and Diluc suspiciously, did they know each other? Diluc was a Knights before?

"It's not that I'm fighting against the Knights, it's that the Knights are limited by rules and regulations, and I'm just protecting Mondstadt in my own way..."

"But now you're obviously trying to trick Anping into betraying information to you!"

"I'm just worried that the Knights won't be able to give a reasonable reward."

I don't know why, the scene developed into an argument between the two.

Anping didn't think there was any need to fight.

He could have received a reward from the Knights, and then went to Diluc for a Mora.

In the end, under Anping's persuasion, the two put aside the dispute for the time being, and Jean took the Sky Lyre back to the Knights to call for someone, while Diluc, Ying and Eula stayed here, broke down the prison door first, and rescued the people.

After finally rescuing the captain, Anping was also relieved.

The mission to Mondstadt was finally completed, and they would wake up and go back to Liyue to settle accounts with the Northland Bank.

As for the dragon plague in Mondstadt.

An Ping said that he couldn't help, that kind of demon god-level battle, he was not qualified to participate in it.
