Chapter 408 Qiaoyingzhuang
In the mountains and gorges, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, and houses stand in varying heights. Every household has baskets of tea leaves, which give off a faint fragrance under the sunlight.
The hard stones have been ground into rivers, wooden and bamboo boats are used to receive guests by the elderly and young people. The bustling streets are lined with tea beaches of all sizes, and the footsteps of the crowds make this place seem quiet, but it is actually very lively.
Qiaoying Village is a city named after its delicious tea. Compared with the village-like terrain in the game, this place is even bigger than Liyue Harbor in reality. It has a permanent population of over 300 million, making it one of Liyue's undeserved big cities.
At this moment, Ye Li was carrying a wooden box, with two little ones following on his left and right sides. Although Xingqiu, Chongyun and others behind him were not here for the first time, they were still shocked by the long-lost experience.
"How about it, handsome boy? Isn't the aroma of tea here very nice? I'll let you taste the local good tea later."
Jiaming took the lead and walked forward. As a local of Qiaoying Village, he was happy to introduce the local customs and legends. However, his black robe was quite inconsistent with his enthusiastic appearance.
But no one cares. Jiaming must have his own reasons for doing this.
As they were walking, they accidentally passed by a branch of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. A clerk happened to be distributing advertisements. As they approached, Xingqiu was recognized by the clerk at a glance.
Xingqiu glanced at the advertising leaflet handed over by the clerk, shook his head helplessly, and said to Ye Li and the others:
"I have some things to take care of in this branch. I will go to the inn later. I'll say goodbye now."
"It's okay. Sometimes plans can't keep up with changes. It's normal. Just like before, it's almost noon. Lunch might have been prepared when you came."
Ye Li and the others understood Xingqiu's difficulties and did not have any complaints. They just waved goodbye at the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce branch and agreed to meet at the inn for lunch at noon.
After separating from Xingqiu, Ye Li held the flyer that the other party had handed over to him. Looking at the advertisements on it, he couldn't help but sigh. After all, Teyvat was full of advertisements.
There is no other way. Ever since Hu Tao came up with the small advertisement business, various chambers of commerce and newspapers have copied it. Although this is not the only way to promote, it is also the most time-saving and labor-saving.
Although flyers on the bulletin board exist, the continent of Teyvat does not yet have a complete advertising system. Hu Tao's last work was the first to try it out, and he still earned some Mora from the promotion and operation. Those who followed suit had to give a little Mora to the Hall of Rebirth as a sign of respect, which was considered a face in the underworld.
After a while, everyone finally arrived at the inn recommended by Jiaming, Chaxian Inn.
Don't be fooled by the name that suits the local characteristics. It actually does suit the local characteristics. As soon as Ye Li and his companions entered the inn, they were greeted with a smile by the waiter, who didn't care at all about Jia Ming's weird outfit.
"Hey, I wonder if you are here to rest or have a meal. We have gathered the best chefs in Liyue, and we can make most dishes. Whether it is Liyue cuisine or Yue cuisine, we will definitely satisfy you."
Ye Li looked at the attentive waiter in front of him, who did not look down on them because of their simple clothes. He was very satisfied with the place Jiaming recommended. He took out two Mora coins with a face value of more than 50,000 yuan without any hesitation and placed them on the table beside him.
"Please come to Room 5, and bring some golden shrimp balls, fairy jumping over the wall, squirrel fish, almond tofu, spicy steamed bread..."
After Ye Li finished reading the menu, the waiter's smile became brighter, but a drop of sweat ran down his forehead, indicating that this job was not an easy one.
"Sir, the Immortal Jumps Over the Wall will take a little longer. Please go to the guest room and wait for a while."
"It's okay. The better the food, the longer the wait. We can all wait. Also, can you please get a few cups of coconut milk, heated?"
"Okay, sir. I have taken note of your request. Please follow me to the guest room upstairs and wait."
After some time passed, in a guest room on the second floor, Ye Li and others were eating and chatting happily, discussing the subsequent itinerary and plans.
"According to the ancient book in the Immortal Mansion, Nanling is suspected to have the inheritance of the Immortal Medicine King. And according to what I inquired in the branch this morning, as well as the gossip, there are Fatui in Xuanlian Mountain."
"Oh, so someone is eyeing the inheritance of the Immortal Medicine Master."
"Although I'm not sure whether the inheritance is true, according to the gossip of the Chamber of Commerce branch, the existence of the Fatui has been confirmed. In addition, the Thousand Rock Army has been unusually active recently. This was made clear during our inspection when we entered the city."
Listening to Xingqiu's serious analysis as he arrived at the inn on time, Jiaming and Chongyun didn't understand some parts, but they were sure of one thing: where there are Fatui, there must be unknown secrets.
Moreover, this place is in their Liyue territory. The Fatui's actions are so secretive, which must be due to ill intentions. Naturally, they cannot keep the benefits to themselves. This has risen to a diplomatic issue.
Ye Li naturally understood Xingqiu's intention. To put it bluntly, it was about grabbing territory. Being able to investigate this information also proved that Feiyun Chamber of Commerce had excellent intelligence investigation capabilities.
"The problem is that the Fatui are not easy to deal with. The evil eyes on them are imitations of the Eye of God, and there are so many of them that it is unlikely that we can defeat them all with just a few of us. Unless you give me a lot of materials to make mechanisms and cover the firepower, there will be a chance to deal with them."
"That makes sense. If there are only five or six advance teams of Fatui, we can easily deal with anyone present except the children. But if there are hundreds of them, it will be difficult to deal with them.
Plus, there isn't much evidence, and taking action will only lead to disputes, so we have to think long and hard."
"But Brother Xingqiu, if there are so many of them, wouldn't that mean it's a war? Sister Ningguang shouldn't be unresponsive."
"That's just my speculation, just an analogy, don't take it seriously, Yaoyao, don't think too badly."
The corner of Xingqiu's mouth twitched inexplicably. The moment Yaoyao said this, he felt inexplicably helpless. At the same time, he glanced at Ye Li, who was drinking green tea and laughing lightly, and his helpless mood was even more magnified.
He was fortunate enough to have seen how Ye Li dealt with monsters, and he found the one-stop service method bizarre.
Yaoyao must have learned a thing or two from Ye Li during the past six months of interaction with him, otherwise she wouldn't have asked the tricky questions she has now.
……
Xumi is located at the top of the Xumi City Teaching Court, inside the Jingshan Palace.
Nashida, imprisoned in a modified version of a thinking and meditation device, is using her dreams to communicate with the God of Rock and the God of Wind in distant Liyue with her eyes closed, and is secretly holding a meeting on how to regain the power of Xumi.
"The current situation in Xumi is going smoothly according to Mr. Zhongli's plan, and some plans have been improved and made more secretive. The desert has also begun to reorganize. Within half a year, we can launch a coup in the Church of God and dismiss the great sage Azar."
"Alas, little Narcida is still too gentle. If it were me, I would definitely give that ungodly guy a few big hooves and tornadoes, making him unable to take care of himself."
Wendy's tone was no longer as casual as before, but instead she became serious and offered an effective suggestion.
This scene made Zhongli nod slightly. At the same time, he looked at Nashida with his golden eyes and said calmly:
"Don't be too rational sometimes. Maybe you have seen a lot of changes in the world in your dreams over the years, and you have some understanding of human beings, but it is not enough. You still have a lot to learn."
"Don't be too rational? I'll pay attention to that. To be honest, I don't know why I've had an inexplicable premonition recently. There's something very important to me that appears from time to time, but I just can't grasp the key points."
"A sudden inspiration? This is rare, but the cause and effect will give you the answer."
Zhongli's riddle instantly confused the two gods present. If Ye were present, he would definitely complain and tell the riddle man to get out of Teyvat.
