11 Chapter 11
"Zhongli, what are you talking about interesting, why don't you tell me?"
Maybe it was because they didn't go downstairs, and the two people who were originally facing each other in the lobby on the first floor walked up.
Tartaglia's gaze shifted between the two, his eyes curved into crescents, and his face was innocent and innocent.
And behind him, Yelan also led the Millelith Army up the stairs, because there was no tangible evidence, and Tartaglia's identity was not an ordinary Fatui, Yelan naturally couldn't arrest people.
Although it was clear that the other party was just pretending to be a gesture and directing part of their surveillance to Yun Mubai, Yelan also had to do it.
Even if her belief is as firm as she is, she once doubted the prophecy in Yun Mubai's mouth, after all...... If the Emperor really fell, what about the others, and what would ordinary Liyue people think like?
Yelan knew that Ningguang had arranged for her to watch Yun Mubai as both a monitor and a protector, and that they had to ensure Yun Mubai's life in this dark tide of Liyue.
Thinking of this, she raised her hand slightly, and the Millelith Army behind her neatly stepped up the stairs, blocking between Yun Mubai and Tartaglia.
"Your Excellency, I will not send it far away."
"What are you doing so nervously?" Tartaglia spread his hands, but he didn't mean to do anything, turned around and left the room, "You have time to play with me"
Yun Mubai frowned when he heard Tartaglia's invitation to go away.
This executive is really serious about doing things.
All the Millelith troops around him clenched the weapons in their hands, and stared at Childe's distant back with vigilant expressions.
"Alright, the people in the way are gone." Yelan looked very relaxed, she played with the dice in her hand, and looked around the room with Yun Mubai's salute, "Lord Ningguang means that you can live in the Jade Pavilion during this time......"
"I refuse!"
As soon as Yun Mubai arrived in Liyue, he was invited to visit the private mansion of the Seven Kingdoms where the stars of Heaven were famous because of his bold words at the Liyue Harbor entry checkpoint.
However, if he wants to live permanently, Yun Mubai is not willing at all!
Fontaine, there are many mechanical devices, and there are not a few cases of mechanical failure.
What dancing patrolmen, derailed trains...... This news will be reported in the daily Steambird newspaper in a while.
It's nice to live in the sky, but if any of that thing gets stuck and falls......
Yun Mubai's ability to manipulate elemental power was not enough for him to protect himself at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
"Allow me to solemnly refuse." Yun Mubai clasped his hands together and behaved very sincerely, "It's not that I have an opinion on the Jade Pavilion, it's just that I'm afraid of heights." ”
"...... like this" Yelan didn't expect Yun Mubai to refuse so simply, after all, it was an invitation from the Jade Pavilion, if other merchants heard this invitation......
Yes, Yun Mubai is not a merchant in Liyue.
"Why don't you stay with me for this time?" Zhongli suddenly spoke, his expression was serious and serious, "It's not a busy city over there, it's quiet, and there aren't many outsiders. ”
Hearing Zhongli's voice, Yun Mubai's mind buzzed, and his mind was instantly filled with the fiery hug and overly ambiguous conversation a few minutes ago, after experiencing that kind of thing just now, how could he send himself to Zhongli's territory.
Yun Mubai was about to refuse, when he suddenly heard the girl's brisk and lively footsteps, and then a girl peeked in from outside the door.
"Keqing, I heard you are here!"
The girl is very lively and cute, with a plum blossom pinned to her head, and her pupils are also in the shape of plum blossoms, and her eyes lit up when she saw Zhongli in the room, "You didn't say you wanted to introduce friends." ”
Then the girl's gaze swept over the group of Milleliths crowded into a single room and a group of guards acting as guards, smiled, and then straightened up and straightened.
"Hello, I'm Hu Tao, the hall master of the Hall of the Dead."
"Hello." Yelan recognized the young hall master of the Afterlife Hall in front of her, and also knew that the strength of the hall masters of the past generations was even better, and it was rumored that he had the ability to communicate yin and yang.
Originally, Yelan was still hesitant about Zhongli's proposal, but seeing this Hall Master Hu, she felt that Zhongli's proposal was really good, even if it was mixed with someone's obvious selfishness.
"So...... Is Zhongli Keqing inviting a friend to live in our Afterlife Hall? Hu Tao patted his chest, looked at Yun Mubai's eyes and smiled, "That's good, we Keqing are the best at protecting people, and you will definitely not be in danger if you live in our Death Hall." ”
Facing the girl's enthusiastic invitation, Yun Mubai was a little shaken.
"Our hall master doesn't have any playmates on weekdays, and since he was a child, he has also followed the old hall master to deal with and learn things in the hall, I think Mu Bai's life in Fontaine will definitely make the hall master have something to gain."
"Really, really?" Hu Tao's eyes sparkled, "Will you move in with us?" ”
Knowing that this was just Zhongli's excuse, Yun Mubai silently closed his eyes and nodded after meeting the little girl's expectant gaze.
Yelan was entangled and was about to open her mouth to stop it, but she heard Zhongli explain, "The Jade Pavilion is the private residence of Lord Ningguang, one of the Seven Stars, although it is safe, it is inconvenient to travel after all, and there is a lot of important information in it......"
The voice is calm, and the reasons for the explanation are also clear and layered.
Yelan bowed her head in approval, and after glancing at this well-known guest of the Dead Hall, she secretly raised the other party's alert level a lot again.
Then she arranged for a team of Millelith Army to protect her, and then went to report to Ningguang with a bunch of information.
Yun Mubai lived in the Hall of the Dead, which was different from the eerie and terrifying environment he imagined, and it was very peaceful.
"Welcome to the Hall of the Dead, if you need to do business, I can give a nine-percent discount on Keqing's face."
Hu Tao is not shy about talking about his work, and sells it as if it were an ordinary job.
"People in the world are always afraid of death, but they don't know that this is just a part of life, I think people don't know about this, after all, people are afraid of the unknown."
Yun Mubai was a little surprised that girls could see life and death so clearly at a young age, but Yun Mubai thought that she couldn't do this.
After living in the Hall of the Dead for a few days, Yun Mubai realized that life here was much easier than he had imagined, not only because the hall master was a lively and lovely girl, but also because Zhongli seemed to be busy......
During Zhongli's absence, although Yun Mubai occasionally thought of the other party and thought about what conspiracy the other party was engaged in, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
One day, when Yun Mubai thought that the sky in Liyue Harbor was clearing up and he could run freely to other countries, a girl with sky-blue hair and horns on the top of her head walked in.
"Hello, may I ask if it's Mr. Yun Mubai?" The girl spoke softly, her expression gentle, "I am Ganyu, the secretary of the Moon Sea Pavilion, and Lord Ningguang wants to see you." ”
Yun Mubai looked at another Liyue executive who appeared in front of him, and suddenly hesitated a little about his guess.
Sure enough, following Miss Ganyu back to the Jade Pavilion, Yun Mubai, who had revisited the old place, was shocked by Ningguang's words before he could raise his emotion.
"You need to be ready, Liyue needs a wedding soon."
"You can open the conditions as you like, and we will not interfere with your other choices after the wedding."
The gaze behind the desk looked tired, but a pair of red eyes shone with a different resolute light than before. The fall of the Rock King had obviously put her under tremendous pressure, but it also seemed to have released some kind of shackles on her.
But......
What does this have to do with me?
Yun Mubai was dazed in his mind, but the alarm sounded quickly in his heart.
Then he looked at the white-haired woman with a noble temperament opposite and lightly opened his lips and spit out two words.
“…… We still have some time to go, so you can think about it. As long as you can make a deal, Liyue will agree to it. From now on, we will provide support and protection for all your life in Liyue, which is a compensation for you and our sincerity. ”
Yun Mubai, who returned to the Hall of the Dead, stared at the wooden window, but his mind was still echoing the promises made by Ning Guang.
Ningguang deserved to be the most powerful businessman, and Yun Mubai's shameful heart moved.
But that's a secret marriage!
Even if there was a scandal about the fake news before, it was too shameless for the Rock King to take advantage of the original lie after the fall of the Emperor of the Rock.
Yun Mubai wanted to pack up his package and leave...... Just run away.
Yun Mubai pushed open the window, and then his pupils widened slightly, and the whole person stiffened in place.
"You're the prophet? Strange, I didn't see the spiritual power in you. ”
It wasn't a man who spoke, but a man with a pair of large red antlers...... Deer?
Yun Mubai's eyes widened, he actually saw a talking animal!
A flash of lightning suddenly struck his mind, and Yun Mubai suddenly remembered that Zhongli had mentioned that immortals were all in the form of beasts.
“…… Immortals? ”
"I am the True Monarch of the Moon Cutting and Building the Sun, and I heard from that traveler that you had predicted the news of the Emperor's fall." The giant deer tilted its head and ploughed the ground with its front hooves.
Hearing the immortal's narration, Yun Mubai knew that the traveler who had been on the same side was actually wanted by the Seven Stars, and had to find the reclusive immortal to ask for an innocence.
Travelers are miserable.
Yun Mubai reluctantly sympathized with the unlucky young man who had come from Mondstadt to attend the Immortal Ceremony, but was later wanted as a suspect.
In his heart, he wondered why the immortal in front of him suddenly found him.
"Hmm......"
"I heard that you originally planned to marry the emperor, but you had no choice but to make people separate, and you were separated from heaven and man."
"Several of us have been taught by Emperor Zeng, alas...... I hope to have a formal conversation with you. ”
Looking at the giant deer with his head up and sighing, Yun Mubai was a little weak.
The traveler ran away, why did he bring Liyue's scandal to the immortals!
