Chapter 45: Dumplings, Milk, and Light Novels
"What's the matter with Inazuma and Sora that you just said?!" Hearing Li Wei's defense, Ying rushed into the yamen of the General Affairs Department in a hurry than Ganyu and Paimon.
"You are..."Li Wei looked at Ying's appearance and frowned... This girl, who looks about the same age as herself, doesn't seem to be from the General Affairs Department, how did she get in, and... Resemble... It's so much like... How can it be so much like Brother Kong... Li Wei couldn't help but think of what Brother Kong told her, he ended up in Inazuma because he was looking for his sister.
"You... Do you know Brother Sora? Li Wei asked Ying cautiously.
"Empty... Sora is my brother... Did you meet a teenager in Inazuma who looked like me? Ying's tone was a little anxious.
"Yes, yes, yes! You look so similar, you must be the sister of Brother Kong! Sora's brother told me he was looking for his sister! I didn't expect you to be in Liyue... Explain to this adult that my brother and I are really not thieves! We were sent back from Inazuma by Brother Sora..."Brother looking for me in Inazuma?
There was a little confusion in Ying's eyes. Didn't you say anything when you saw yourself in Liyue before?
"We still have plenty of time..."
"We're going to meet again, but not now" or something like that? Doesn't he know where he is?
How did I suddenly run to Inazuma to find myself. Ying was a little confused. Could it be that the two siblings had encountered something similar to that hunter in Qingquan Town, which made their memories a little confused about the time and the present.
Ying couldn't help but have a similar thought. Otherwise, it's really hard to explain.
"So... What the hell is going on, can you tell me more about it? Ying continued to ask, and Ganyu, who followed in, heard that it was Ying who had found her brother's whereabouts, so she stood silently and listened, and made a silent gesture to the officials who wanted to come and greet her.
"Here's the thing..."Li Wei didn't know much about the whole thing, and Li Xiao told everything he knew completely.
After listening to Li Xiao's explanation, Ying was even more puzzled. First of all, judging from the events narrated by Li Wei's brothers and sisters, it should have happened in the last few days, after all, it has been less than a month since they arrived in Inazuma.
Secondly, Li Xiao said that his brother had been in Liyue before, but according to what he had heard in Liyue, no one had ever seen a boy who looked similar to him.
At last... How did my brother become a wanted man in Inazuma? Isn't he the prince of the Abyss Order?
How did it get to the point of being a wanted criminal? And why was he able to send Li Xiao's siblings back, but his brother himself didn't come back to Liyue to find him?
What's more, based on the appearance of their brother as described, there is no doubt about it... It's that height... Isn't my brother about the same height as me?
This height... If you want to say anything, it's about the same as Anping... Ying always felt that there were doubts everywhere.
This brother... Most likely, someone else is pretending... None of that matters, though. can pretend to be an older brother, and know that there is such a sister as himself, this person definitely knows his brother!
Finally received news about her brother again, and Ying can't wait to go to Inazuma now.
"Brother Kong, he is a good person, adults, you must find a way to save him! If it weren't for him, my brother and I would still be trapped in Inazuma and framed and tortured..."Li Wei asked for help from those present with teary eyes.
"I am aware of the injustices you have suffered in Inazuma, and I will be responsible for contacting Inazuma's diplomats and asking them to give you a reasonable explanation for these incidents and give you the compensation you deserve." After listening to Li Xiao's brother and sister, the expressionless Ganyu took this matter into her hands, and she has always increased her workload like this recently.
Because once you stop working, you can't help but think of Anping. She already believed that the siblings did not intend to break into her and Anping's home.
What's more, it seems that this incident also concerns the brother of the traveler who has been on the go when Liyue was in crisis.
"Thank you, Lord Ganyu! Thank you, Lord Ganyu! "As a businessman from a big chamber of commerce like the Hutchison Hall, Li Xiao knows this secretary of Yuehaiting, whose status is not under the Seven Stars, and if she speaks, it is far more reliable than looking for someone from the General Affairs Division.
It's what Lord Ganyu looks like... Li Xiao remembered that the last time she saw Ganyu, she didn't have this strand of white hair in her hair.
Although his appearance is still young, his temperament does seem to be much older. Could it be that the gossip that Liyue is spreading right now is true?
Li Xiao couldn't help but think of the topics that the big people whispered and discussed at the dinner before.
"Can you tell me which route your fleet went from to Inazuma? Since it could be my brother there, I want to check it out now. "Ying had come back to Liyue with the intention of following the Southern Cross fleet to Inazuma, but now that she had learned from Li Xiao that there was a safer route to reach Inazuma safely, Ying naturally decided to sail there alone.
"That route used to be safe, but the recent thunderstorm has changed and it is no longer passable, otherwise we wouldn't have been stranded in Inazuma after unloading our cargo... As a result, Kong Engong was affected..."Li Xiao shook his head and sighed.
Ying also felt that it was a pity, and it seemed that she could only seek help from the Southern Cross fleet.
"Now that the matter is clear, then you can go back and rest first, and then I will send someone to inform you of the outcome of the matter." The Li Xiao brothers and sisters left with a thousand thanks, and repeatedly asked Ganyu to find a way to save Kong Engong, who helped the two of them.
Ganyu agreed, but she felt that the person who could send the siblings back to Liyue from Inazuma, thousands of miles away, didn't seem to need her help.
The Li Xiao brothers and sisters didn't know that the opponent that Anping was facing at that time was the god of Inazuma, otherwise Ganyu and Ying might have been a little more urgent if they said it.
"Congratulations, you've found your brother's whereabouts." Ganyu rarely squeezed out a smile, happy for Ying, who has been looking for her brother.
"It shouldn't be my brother... But this person must have news about his brother... Let's not talk about this, Ganyu, you should rest more, otherwise if something happens to your body... Anhei will also feel uncomfortable in the spirit of the sky..."Since she can't go to Inazuma yet, Ying doesn't think about it for the time being, after all, there is a high probability that that person is not really empty.
It was Ganyu, Ying was really worried about her, so she had to mention Anping's name in order to coax Ganyu to rest.
"My body is fine, after all, I have the Qilin bloodline... And I'll still rest, after all, I can only see Anping in my dreams now... It's just that lately I've been dreaming of his miserable appearance... So I don't dare to sleep anymore..."Although Ganyu had a smile on his face, the light in his eyes that seemed to carry the sunset was very dim.
Looking at Ganyu's appearance, Ying's heart was also very uncomfortable. But this kind of pain can only be healed by time, and she has no good way, she only hopes that Ganyu can take care of her body more.
"I'll go back and find a way to contact the Yae Miko of the Narukami Shrine who was in charge of diplomatic communication with Liyue in the first place, and then I'll be out of company, Traveler, take a walk around Liyue City by yourself..."The depressed Ganyu now wants to devote herself to work, the only way to ease her grief.
Looking at Ganyu's thin back as she drifted away, Ying sighed.
"Travelers... Where do we go now? Paimon, who was also depressed, asked in a low voice.
"Let's go to the Adventurers' Guild first." Before the Southern Cross fleet returned, Ying also wanted to find something to do for herself.
She didn't want to sink into sadness herself. ... Sea Island. Anping has been back for more than half a month.
The injuries on his body have recovered under Xinhai's careful healing. Now he's talking to Kokomi about something he just learned.
The group of craftsmen and materials that Shinsuke Hiiragi arranged to go to Inazuma Castle with him turned out to be sent to Kaiji Island in the first place.
This is all from the mouths of the craftsmen themselves. It was Hiiragi Shinsuke who asked them to come to Kaiji Island to help build it. This made both Xinhai and Anping a little confused.
Haiji Island and Kanding are pursued, but they really have nothing to do with it. However, because of this, those craftsmen worked very seriously after coming to Haiji Island, and they did not look like they were kidnapped and coerced at all.
It was when I learned that a rebel army had been established on Haiji Island to resist the decree of Shogun Raiden, and I couldn't help but feel a little trembling when I went to work one by one.
Now Raiden Shogun's three commissioners and the Narukami Shrine are all involved in Kaiji Island, which is quite a bit
"Who in the world doesn't understand the taste of rebellion". It's Hiiragi's behavior that makes Anhei and Kokomi unable to figure it out.
However, after some discussion, the two of them sorted out Hiiragi's thoughts.
"These materials and craftsmen were originally supposed to be sent to the Fatui, but in order to prevent the news of his Hiiragi's collusion with the Fatui from leaking out, he used the excuse of saying that he was coming to Haiji Island with these craftsmen." Kokomi and Anpei agreed on this reason.
"However, there have indeed been traces of the Fatui on the island recently, so could it be that there are really Fatui lurking on the island? After all, most of the troops have been transferred to stabilize the front line on the island recently, and the defensive force on the island is a little empty. Kokomi was a little worried.
"A little thing, I'll go around the island later, and I'll serve them a den of the Fatuida." An Ping patted Xinhai's hand and signaled that she didn't have to worry.
Ever since the scarred Anpei returned from Narujin Island, Kokomi has become less and less concerned with his intimate behavior.
"But your body..."Xinhai was a little worried about Anhei's body.
"It's just a few Fatui to clean up, it's not even a warm-up, and it's time to go and discharge, isn't it?"
"Okay then, but you still have to be careful... If you want to say that the most likely place to hide the Fatui on Haizu Island, it should be the side of Yuyun Shrine, after all, the residents of Haizu Island almost don't go there anymore..."At the mention of Yuyun Shrine, Kokomi's expression was a little complicated.
It was a place where the Great God of the Sea was enshrined before he was beheaded by Raiden Shogun.
"I see, I'll go there first." An Ping quietly groped out of the Coral Palace. After all, he still claims to be recuperating from his injuries to the outside world.
When he came to the vicinity of the Shuyun Shrine, Anping carefully checked the surroundings and saw no trace of the Fatui.
As he was about to leave, he suddenly noticed the statue of the Seven Heavens in front of the collapsed Shuyun Shrine.
Anping's eyebrows raised. Because he suddenly remembered what Yae Miko had told him. Originally, he had almost left behind during the period of recuperation in the past few days, but today, seeing this statue of the god who had touched it and then entered the Pure Land of One Heart, Anping couldn't help but think of the mouth-watering content that the Divine Son said.
Looking up at the idol that seemed to be looking down on all beings, An Ping swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Or... Forget it.
The fox's words Anping always felt untrustworthy. Don't be beaten by the shadow and the general's mother and daughter when the time comes... It's still important to get down to business, so it's important to check if the Fatui have established any strongholds on Haiji Island... Midnight.
An Ping, who couldn't fall asleep, opened the book and saw that it was densely written with three words and four words, and finally couldn't resist the temptation and quietly came to this statue of the Seven Heavens.
"Just once... Just once... Just believe the fox's words once..."Anping stretched out his hand towards the Seven Heavens Statue of God.
Soon, Anping's eyes were dark, and the projection of consciousness once again came to the Pure Land of One Heart where the shadow was.
Shadow, who had closed himself off against wear and tear, immediately sensed that someone had entered the Pure Land of One Heart, and quickly opened his eyes.
"You... Hello..."Anping had just greeted Shadow with a smile on his face when he saw Shadow pull out a knife from the ravine in his chest.
"There is no mercy!" After the sword light, the eternal silence of the Pure Land of One Heart was restored. Shadow frowned.
What made that guy dare to appear in her single-minded pure land... He should have been killed.
"The fox of the Son of God is really lying to me..."An Ping, who was in phantom pain, lay on the ground and struggled in pain.
He really wouldn't do such a stupid thing again! Early the next morning, Anping suddenly remembered something, and then found Xinhai and asked what the dango milk was.
Dango Kokomi knows... Milk Kokomi also knows... But Dango milk Kokomi is really the first time I've heard of it.
There is no such thing as this kind of new thing on the island. An Ping scratched his head, and then asked Xinhai for a dumpling and milk.
That night, Anping sneaked up in front of the statue again. He felt that he really had a problem last night, and forgot that Miko said to bring dango milk and light.
It's just that Anping didn't know what the dango milk was, so this time he brought the dango and milk respectively, as well as the book "Please My Fox Fairy Palace Division".
Standing in front of the statue, An Ping suddenly remembered a very important matter. He's just projecting his consciousness into the Pure Land of One Heart, how can he bring the dumplings and milk and light?
