Chapter Twenty-Four: The Long-Lost Sister
Master Qin and Li Xiao discuss the authenticity of the strange man who is now in Liyue.
Listening to Anping, who was a party to the matter, his face turned blue and white for a while.
"Aha, I didn't expect so much to happen in the past few years since I left Liyue..."A dry laugh erupted from Anping's throat, forcibly changing the subject.
"But let's get back to business, Brother Li, is there a way for your International Chamber of Commerce to help me purchase some materials, and the price is negotiable..."
"Kong Engong, please explain the materials needed, there is no need to mention the matter of Mora, Li Xiao and I will go to the soup and fight the fire!" Although Li Xiao was a little strange why Yu Anping was favored by Thor and asked the International Chamber of Commerce for help, but now that Anping has something to ask for, in order to get closer to Anping, he also agreed.
Now, as long as he can leave Inazuma safely with his sister, even if he scatters all his family wealth, Li Xiao will not hesitate.
"The materials I need are not for you to go to the soup, but the amount you want is relatively large..."An Ping reported the amount of materials he needed.
Li Xiao's expression on Bo Yuntian's sworn expression suddenly froze. Even Li Wei was embarrassed by the Haikou boasted by her brother.
After a long while, Li Xiao showed a wry smile.
"It's true that things are everywhere you need, but now it's not Mora's problem at all... If it's a period before the lockdown order is issued, even if the amount is increased tenfold, I can buy it for you. But now that the lockdown order has blocked Inazuma's sea routes, these basic materials on the outlying islands have been strictly controlled by the Kan Shogun, and it has been declared that we merchants intend to hoard materials and sell them at high prices, and whoever wants to sell grain and iron to us will be tantamount to betraying Inazuma... Even if the price is doubled, the local farmers will not dare to risk being accused of treason and sell to us foreign businessmen...", Li Xiao smiled angrily.
"Isn't the black cauldron on our heads what they themselves are doing? The rats who surveyed the granaries were all fat, but the price of food in the market was soaring, so that even the farmers who grew the grain could not afford to buy it, and the people's complaints were covered with endless thunder, and the shogun, who was high in the castle tower, must not be able to hear it..."Anhei finally knows why the land of Narukami Island is fertile, but the residents of Inazuma Castle have to accept the relief.
It's really bad to do all the bad things that Kanding pursues eating inside and out.
"But now that you're here, it's good that you're here, and after you expose what the Kan Ding Envoy has done to the general, I think the general will be able to realize the impact of the lockdown order on the country... At that time, we businessmen will finally be able to go home..."Li Xiao looked at An Ping expectantly.
It's Li Wei... Looking at Anping's contemplative side face, he suddenly didn't want to go home very much now.
"After I go back, I will definitely reveal the survey to the general as soon as possible..."An Ping slightly staggered Li Xiao's expectant gaze.
It seems that you can only start from the Heavenly Leader. Presumably, the news that he was favored by Raiden Shogun should have reached the ears of the Hiiragi family, and they should have reacted to such a major matter.
After watching a living person being killed in front of their eyes, several people also lost their appetite, and after chatting for a while, they were ready to disperse.
If it weren't for Li Xiao's Molar when he paid the bill, how would the boss who saw the ins and outs of the matter dare to collect money.
Li Wei reluctantly said goodbye to An Ping, and the corners of Li Xiao's mouth twitched.
"Since Kong Engong doesn't have a place to live tonight, why don't you come to my house? When the time comes, you can sleep in my brother's room, my brother can make a bunk in the living room, anyway, he is used to sleeping in a hard bed on the boat..."Knowing that Anping had not yet booked a place to live, Li Wei thought a little.
"That's not necessary..."An Ping hurriedly waved his hand and refused.
"If you dislike my brother's room... It's okay to sleep in my room... It's a big deal, I'm going to make a bunk..."Li Wei's twisting and pinching appearance made An Ping sweat profusely, and Li Xiao stared at An Ping nervously.
"No, no, someone should come to pick me up soon..."Looking at Li Wei's appearance, An Ping was afraid that he would be attacked by the night in the middle of the night.
Although trouble may find Brother Ying's head in the future... Anping suddenly felt a little excited, what was going on.
"Do you have any other friends on the outlying islands?" As soon as Li Wei's puzzled words fell, an old but energetic voice came from afar.
"Hahahaha... Inazuma Castle's distinguished guests are coming, and the old man is forgiven for missing his welcome. Li Xiao and the others turned their heads to look at the voice, and an old man with gray hair was walking towards them under the protection of the two teams of guards.
Although the old man's voice was kind and kind, Li Xiao still instantly became nervous, quietly pulled An Ping's sleeve, and gave him a look.
Looking at the two teams of samurai following Hiiragi Shinsuke's side, Li Xiao was worried that the other party was not good.
"It's okay, he's here to pick me up." Anhei had expected that the head of the Hiiragi family would come. I heard that a person close to Raiden Shogun had come to the outlying island, and this old thing was probably like a pinprick in his ass sitting on a chair.
It's better to say that the speed came a little later than Anping expected. At a distance of about ten steps from Anpei, Shinsuke Hiiragi raised his hand to signal the guards who were following him to stop, and walked in front of Anhei alone.
"You should be a confidant of the general, it's really scary to be young... I'm Hiiragi Shinsuke, the head of the Kanjo family, and I'm honored to meet you. Shinsuke Hiiragi, who was full of smiles, froze for a moment when he saw Anpei's appearance, but he quickly covered it up, but he was still noticed by Anping.
It seems that he was surprised by how he looked now? Why?
"I'm also honored to meet the head of the Hiiragi family... But we must be meeting for the first time, and the head of the family seems to be curious about my appearance? Anhei looked at Hiiragi Shinsuke suspiciously.
"No, no... It's just that I didn't expect that the distinguished guest was a little similar to the appearance of a traveler rumored recently..."Shinsuke Hiiragi immediately realized that he was discovered by Anping the moment he showed his surprise, and secretly sighed in his heart that he was worthy of being a person valued by the general, so he simply said it truthfully.
"The rumored traveler... You can't be the one you're talking about, right? Anhei suddenly understood why Hiiragi Shinsuke had that expression when he saw him.
Unexpectedly, Ying's reputation was rumored in Inazuma, who was closed off from the country. Anping's current appearance is based on his brother who has a relationship with him, and he is naturally a little similar to Ying.
Hiiragi Shinsuke was a little surprised to see him, which was understandable.
"Of course, how many travelers in the world can thwart the Stormterror, suppress the Demon God of the Vortex, sabotage the plans of the Fatui, and defeat their executors in a duel?" After Hiiragi Shinsuke confessed, he no longer hid his gaze on Anping's face, and then changed his words: "But the distinguished guests are not far behind, and they have won the favor of the gods at a young age... There is a slight resemblance to the traveler in appearance, I wonder if the two know each other? ”
"Truth be told, I've only recently heard about this traveler, and I've never met him... However, I do have a sister who has been separated for a long time, and according to you, the head of the family, then this rumored traveler is most likely my lost sister..."Anping Yang pretended to be excited.
"Ahh Hahahaha... I see, I heard that the traveler was traveling in the Seven Kingdoms to find his brother, and it seems that this matter is not far from ten... is worthy of being a brother and sister, one is favored by the gods, and the other is a woman who does not let her eyebrows..."Shinsuke Hiiragi was in an extremely complicated mood when he said this.
If the descendants of the Hiiragi family can produce such a pair of brothers and sisters, why worry that the Hiiragi family's position in charge of the Kanding Commission is not stable, and they must compromise and cooperate with the Fatui in foreign countries.
"It's a pity that the general has implemented the lockdown decree in order to pursue eternity, otherwise I would have liked to go out to find my sister now..."An Ping pretended to sigh.
Then in my heart, I silently thanked Raiden Shogun for his lock-up order. Although it was a little stupid, it finally alleviated his crisis temporarily.
"But I believe that the traveler will come to Inazuma soon, and your brother and sister reunion is just around the corner, so I'll congratulate you here in advance."
"If that traveler passes by the outlying islands, please be sure to send someone to Inazuma Castle to inform me."
"Of course, that's of course..."Relying on the topic of foreign travelers, Anhei and Hiiragi Shinsuke instantly seemed to be friends at first sight, and they pulled in a lot of distance.
Looking at the enthusiastic smile on Kong Engong's face that he had never shown before, Li Xiao was a little worried for a while.
Kong Engong shouldn't have been deceived by this old fox's kind appearance, right?
"The water here is cold and windy, not suitable for small talk, I have set up a banquet in the Hiiragi family's mansion, it is difficult for distinguished guests to get the island, please follow me back to Hiiragi's house and let me do my best to be a landlord." Hiiragi stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture.
"And these friends who seem to be distinguished guests, can you enjoy a face and go to the house for a small gathering together?" It was only now that Shinsuke Hiiragi moved his gaze to Li Xiao's body.
"There's no need for a banquet, I just had dinner, I've been traveling all day today, and now I want to rest, I'm about to find a hotel here..."
"What kind of hotel are you looking for?! If I let the general know, I would think that my Hiiragi family doesn't know etiquette! When Hiiragi Shinsuke heard this, his eyes widened directly.
"The Hiiragi family has already cleaned up the guest's room, and if you come to the outlying islands in the future, you can come to the Hiiragi's house to live directly, so as not to blame the general for our poor hospitality... Although the Hiiragi family is not as good as the major families in Inazuma Castle, they can still afford a few rooms. ”
"Since you are so insistent on the head of the family, then I will not shirk it again." An Ping smiled and agreed.
