Inquirer of Teyvat

Chapter 409 Intervention (5k)

That night,

After Jiuqi Ren and Yidou returned to the teahouse at the pier,
With tired faces, Ying and Paimeng returned to the Manmin Hall,

Wang Daoyi looked at the exhausted appearance of the two, and was a little curious.

"What's wrong with you two? It looks like you've been through a big battle."

Ying sat down on the chair weakly, and poured herself a stomach full of tea: "It's more tiring than going through a big battle. I was called by Yelan to help. Looking at those documents, various professional terms, and various rare words, look at them." It makes me want to die, it's even more uncomfortable than dealing with King Qiuqiu."

Paimon also looked exhausted: "That's right, those documents make Paimon's head so dizzy."

"Haha, I usually ask you to read more books, and you don't read more books. Now you know the importance of reading. If you don't read books, you can't even understand the documents." Wang Daoyi laughed.
Then, looking at the two of them, they asked concerned: "Have you eaten yet? There are still some dishes in the kitchen, do you want to warm them up for you?"

"Woo~~ Daoyi, you are so kind." Paimon looked at Wang Daoyi gratefully, then stretched out a palm, "Please add food, Paimon wants five bowls!"

Speechlessly, he looked at Paimon's belly, and he ate five bowls for a meal, no wonder Ying has to work hard to entrust you to support you.

With a hint of exclamation, Wang Daoyi went to the kitchen,

After a while, a few hot dishes came out,
"The rice is in the kitchen, you just add it after you finish eating."

Ying and Paimon nodded with blinking eyes, their eyes were already attracted by the delicious dishes.

After wolfing down the meal, Paimon and Ying leaned comfortably on the chairs, enjoying the aftertaste after eating and drinking.

Wang Daoyi had no choice but to get up and clean up the leftovers.

Ying looked at Wang Daoyi with some embarrassment, and wanted to help clean up, but her bulging stomach made her really powerless.

After packing up his things, Wang Daoyi returned to the lobby and continued the topic just now.

"Ye Lan asked you for help, what's the matter? It made you so tired."

Ying did not hide it from Wang Daoyi, after all, in Ying's knowledge, Wang Daoyi is Zhongli's family member, and it is impossible for him to hurt Liyue, so there is no need to hide anything from Wang Daoyi.

"It's the selection of Tianshu star. Uncle Tian is not in good health and needs to hand over Tianshu star in advance, so he entrusted Ye Lan to do the assessment on his behalf, and Ye Lan asked us for help."

"Tianshu star's assessment?" Wang Dao raised his eyebrows slightly, some memories appeared in his mind,
He remembered that he had contacted two candidates before,
One is Zhiyi and the other is Ganwei. Both of them have good knowledge and ability.

"Huh? Why, does Daoyi know?" Ying nodded, noticing that Wang Daoyi's tone was a little strange, and asked curiously.

Wang Dao nodded slightly: "I have contacted two candidates before, so I have some impressions."

"Hey, which two did Daoyi contact? Today we are evaluating and investigating these candidates. Can Daoyi tell us?" Paimeng's eyes lit up, and he asked Wang Daoyi.

"Ha, of course." Wang Daoyi didn't refuse, nodded, and said, "The first person I came into contact with was Zhiyi. I went to Yuehai Pavilion once before, and Huixin was away because of something. It was Zhiyiding's class. I chatted with him a lot at that time, and I thought his knowledge and conversation were very good, and I heard that he came from an ordinary background, so he was a good candidate.”

"The other one is Gan Wei. I brought a friend of Sumi to Liyue to play, and I met a commercial dispute case at the pier market. The official who handled it at that time was Gan Wei. Gan Wei handled the dispute. It can be said that It hits the nail on the head and is well-founded, so I have a good impression of him."

Wang Daoyi introduced the two candidates he knew to Ying and Paimeng. After speaking, Wang Daoyi thought for a while and added: "When I met them, I didn't have the current perspective, so my words can be For reference, but don’t use it too much, especially Zhiyi, when I met him, I was still very young.”

Although it is a bit strange why Wang Daoyi used "young" to describe himself,

But Ying also nodded: "Well, in our investigation, although Zhiyi has no practical experience, he is very considerate of various matters, and he is very gentle in his dealings with others. He seems to be a young version of Uncle Tian. .”

"As for Gan Wei, although he is also very good, he seems very straightforward, and he is always angry with people who don't understand his plans."

Wang Dao nodded: "In this way, you are more supportive of Zhiyi?"

"That's right, but Ye Lan said that an in-depth investigation is still needed, so she didn't directly make a decision today, and will continue to investigate tomorrow." Paimeng answered Wang Daoyi's question.

Wang Dao nodded slightly: "Ye Lan's professional level is trustworthy. She has always considered the worst. This is a very good vigilance for intelligence work."

"In addition, you just said that Uncle Tian was not feeling well, that's why the selection was made ahead of schedule, but a person in the selection looks so much like Uncle Tian, ​​don't you think it's strange?"

Paimeng scratched his head, a little puzzled: "What's so strange about this? Yelan said that Zhiyi often learns from Uncle Tian. It's normal to have some similarities."

"Ha, Paimon, in a stable power transfer, do you know what the most important thing is?" Wang Daoyi smiled, and then threw a question to Paimon.

Facing Wang Daoyi's question, Pai Meng was stunned for a moment, then thought hard for three seconds, and finally gave up: "Pai Meng doesn't know."

Then she looked at Ying, but Ying also shook her head, and finally the two looked at Wang Daoyi together.

Wang Daoyi didn't give a shit, and said directly: "In a stable transfer of power, a normal candidate should maintain this stability, and then show their excellence and win."

"The scheming candidate will destroy this stability, and then show his similarity to the previous person in power, telling everyone that I share the same philosophy as the previous one, and choosing my successor can continue to maintain stability."

After finishing speaking, Wang Daoyi looked at the two of them: "So, do you understand?"

Paimon was still at a loss, but Ying noticed something: "Daoyi, you mean there is a problem with Zhiyi?"

Ying thinks according to the logic given by Wang Daoyi just now,
Originally, Uncle Tian was in good health, and he could fully support him until the end of the normal selection process.

But now, Uncle Tian's body suddenly turned sharply, and there was a fluctuation in the stable handover, and there happened to be another Zhiyi, who was close to Uncle Tian's ideas in every way,
These things are the same as Wang Daoyi's statement, isn't that saying that there is something wrong with Zhiyi!

Hearing Ying's words, Wang Daoyi shook his head slightly: "I didn't say anything, but according to what you said, since Zhiyi's ideas are close to Uncle Tian's, the probability of Zhiyi's victory is too high, so tomorrow you Follow Yelan, you can investigate Zhiyi carefully, if he has problems, it is a credit, if he has no problems, it just means that he is really the most suitable successor."

"That's it, I understand." Ying nodded, and decided to check Zhiyi carefully tomorrow.

After talking about this topic, the three chatted for a while, until Xiangling was in the room, unable to wait for Wang Daoyi to come out to find someone.

"Hey, Brother Daoyi, what are you guys talking about, why don't you rest so late."

Xiangling came out from the backyard, walked to Wang Daoyi's side, and asked curiously.

Wang Dao got up together, put his arms around Xiangling's slender waist, Wang Dao shook his head slightly: "It's nothing, just some chores, let's go, go to rest."

Ying also stood up, slipping the dazed Paimeng with one hand, and smiled at Wang Daoyi and Xiangling: "Good night, both of you."

"Good night."

After saying goodnight to each other, both parties went back to their rooms to rest.

In Xiangling's boudoir, Wang Daoyi was leaning against the head of the bed, and Xiangling's small hands were playing with the hair hanging from Wang Daoyi's shoulders.

"Brother Daoyi, your hair is getting longer and longer."

"Huh? It seems to be, but I didn't pay attention to it. Later, Xiangling, you can take care of it for me. You don't need to cut it off, just make it into a bun."

"Okay, okay."

Xiangling nodded repeatedly.

The two talked some more intimate words, and finally Xiangling couldn't bear it any longer and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, Wang Daoyi went out to Yujing Terrace.

Although I talked to Xiangling about some chores last night,
But in fact, Wang Daoyi still has his heart on his heart.
Tianshu Xing, as the behind-the-scenes think tank in the Seven Stars, is really important,
If there is a problem with Tianshu Star, it is likely to affect all aspects of Liyue.

Although Wang Daoyi is no longer a member of Yanzhi, he still has far from repaying what he owes Zhongli.

Therefore, Wang Daoyi felt that he could still observe this Tianshu star assessment.

However, the selection of Tianshu Star is a major event of the Liyue Seven Stars after all, if Wang Daoyi intervenes rashly, the Seven Stars will inevitably think too much.

After all, in Qixing's eyes, Wang Daoyi is one of his own, but within the scope of his own people, Wang Daoyi is closer to the immortal.

But now it is [Liyue under the Rule of Man], Wang Daoyi's every move may be overly interpreted by Seven Stars as the will of an immortal.

Therefore, in order to take care of the sensitive nerves that Qixing might have, Wang Daoyi decided that it would be better to ask Ningguang first.

It is always better to be open and honest than to act in private, and can avoid many misunderstandings.

Of course, if the object of your frankness is a naive critic, there may be some troubles,

But Ning Guang is obviously not such a person.

"So, you want to participate in the selection of Tianshu Star?"

Staring at Wang Daoyi in front of him, with no emotion in his eyes, he asked in a businesslike tone.

Wang Daoyi shook his head slightly, waved his hands, and said, "No, no, no, it's not to meddle in the selection of Tianshu Star, but just to see if there is any hidden threat."

Interfering in the selection of Tianshu star is to provoke Qixing. Although Wang Daoyi doesn't care about Qixing, but the other party is Liyue's current ruler after all. He doesn't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face. No matter what, he has to give Zhongli a face. Maybe he admitted that he wanted to participate in the selection of Tianshu Star.

Therefore, Wang Daoyi could only say that he was checking to see if there was any hidden threat.

"The candidate for Tianshuxing is recommended by Uncle Tian, ​​and selected and assessed by Ye Lan. Since you think there will be danger, have you found any loopholes?" Ning Guang asked again, changing the name of Wang Daoyi from You have changed to you, and it seems more businesslike.

"At present, there is no evidence. However, I heard that Ye Lan is also a little suspicious. Both Ye Lan and I have noticed that something is wrong. It is obvious that things will not be simple."

Wang Daoyi carried Yelan out.

Ning Guang frowned, Yelan hadn't told her there was a problem yet, but Wang Daoyi got the information first, which is not a good sign.

"Don't get me wrong, it was Ying who told me, and Ye Lan won't leak information to me." Wang Dao saw Ning Guang frowned and pondered, and knew that the other party must be thinking about information leaks, so he opened his mouth to explain.

"Huh? So it's Ying? With her temperament, she may reveal such important things to you." Ningguang nodded slightly, believing Wang Daoyi's words.

"Ha, from Ying's point of view, Liyue and I are one. It's okay to tell me Liyue's secret. She can't go into the details of Liyue's seven stars and Liyue's immortals." Wang Daoyi smiled, He said with a smile, but there seemed to be something hidden in his tone.

Ningguang rolled his eyes, and then said: "Why do you have to be so yin and yang to me? The problem between the seven stars and the immortals can be solved by me, the star of heaven, and only time can give the answer to the establishment of trust." .”

Ningguang could hear that Wang Daoyi was angry at her. It was her mistake in inviting the immortals that led to the immediate bankruptcy of the immortal's trust in Qixing, which led to a series of incidents between Qixing and the immortal.

If the emperor had fallen from the sky, Ningguang had chosen to seal off the entire venue, arrange for the people to leave the venue in an orderly manner with their registration information, and send someone to notify the immortals in time, then it would never have happened that the immortals forced themselves into the Qunyu Pavilion.

You know, the Wangshu Inn is Ningguang's person, and Ningguang is fully capable of contacting Mandrill.

But Ningguang chose to seal off the entire venue and began to search for the murderer. She didn't even inform the immortal about the emperor's fall. In the end, the immortal knew about it through Ying.

This caused the immortal's trust in Qixing to go bankrupt.

It's a pity that there is no regret medicine to take, everything has already happened, and now Ningguang can only try his best to mend the relationship with the immortal.

Of course, Wang Daoyi sometimes wondered whether it was Ningguang's plan to break the immortal's trust in Qixing when he did that?
First test the bottom line of the fairy,

If the immortal didn't respond, it would be the beginning of the era of rule by man, regardless of the actual influence of the immortal on Liyue.

If the immortal doesn't react much, then it's up to her to establish a new connection with the immortal and integrate Liyue with the help of the immortal.

If the immortal reacted too much, it would just force the other seven stars to stand in the position of Ningguang, and Ningguang could also gather the power of the seven stars.

Sometimes, Wang Daoyi really thinks that people like Ningguang who play tricks are more dangerous than those powerful demon gods.

At least most of the demon gods are quite straightforward, they will do you what they want, even if they are a little bit more insidious, they are just sneaky and sabotaging ones like Ba Chi.

There are very few demon gods who go back to plot people's hearts.

"Oh~ that's all, if you do something wrong, you are doing something wrong. I am indeed responsible for the gap between the Immortal and the Seven Stars." Ning Guang sighed slightly, then looked at Wang Daoyi, "If you want to investigate, then go and investigate. I will give you a warrant, you give it to Ye Lan, and she will release some information to you."

Wang Daoyi took Ningguang's warrant and nodded at Ningguang: "It is inconvenient for me to intervene in the matter between Qixing and the immortal, but I still want to remind you that immortals are people who have experienced the vicissitudes of the world. To them, tricks and schemes will only make them disgusted, and only hard work can restore the immortal's trust in Seven Stars, sincerity is the most effective weapon."

From Wang Daoyi's point of view, he has already done everything he can do. Expanding the influence of immortals among Liyue people and promoting the construction of immortal temples has greatly eased the relationship between immortals and the seven stars of Liyue.

But if the immortal wants to restore the trust in Qixing, only Qixing can make real achievements, so that the immortal can believe that Qixing can still lead Liyue forward without the Emperor Yan.

And this achievement is not achieved once or twice. Immortals live forever, and their concept of time is very different from ordinary people.
Seven Stars will spend at least a hundred years to prove that they can do better.

And the ones involved may be two or three generations, or even more generations of Seven Stars.

"Thank you for reminding me, I'm already prepared, the immortal will see [Liyue under the Rule of Man] and achieve a great future."

Hearing Wang Daoyi's words, Ningguang nodded slightly, and looked at Wang Daoyi with softer eyes.

Wang Dao nodded, did not continue to speak, and left Qunyu Pavilion with Ningguang's warrant.

With Ningguang's agreement again, Wang Dao found Ye Lan's subordinates in Yanshang Teahouse with ease.
Although they were hiding well, in Wang Daoyi's eyes, they were still very conspicuous.

"Where's Ye Lan?"

Wang Daoyi didn't hide, walked up to them, showed Ningguang's warrant, and asked directly.

Fortunately, the other party not only knew Ningguang's warrant, but also Wang Daoyi.

"Do you have anything to do with Eldest Sister? She and the traveler went to investigate some things together. We don't know where Eldest Sister has gone for the time being."

The secret agent of the General Affairs Department dressed as a gambler said.

Wang Daoyi nodded slightly, and then continued to ask: "Who did they investigate, Zhiyi? Or Qianwei or Mingbo?"

The secret agent of the General Affairs Department dressed as a gambler looked confused. Obviously, he couldn't tell whether he should tell Wang Daoyi the information.

The people here are all spies trained by Ye Lan. They serve Ye Lan, followed by Ning Guang.

If Ningguang came here in person and was in the cooperation between Ningguang and Yelan, they would naturally tell Ningguang about Yelan's whereabouts.

But Wang Daoyi, who was holding the Lightning Warrant, was hard to say.

Who knows whether Wang Daoyi is the enemy's spy, or even the enemy's disguise?

Seeing the embarrassment of the other party, Wang Daoyi did not continue to question, the other party is just the most ordinary spy, there is no need to embarrass them.

"Forget it, when Yelan comes back, just tell her that I've been here. Besides, is Uncle Tian still on the second floor?"

The secret agent dressed as a gambler breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded to Wang Dao: "Okay, I will tell the eldest sister, and besides, that uncle Tian has been on the second floor recently."

The spies obviously didn't know the identity of Uncle Tian, ​​and Ye Lan didn't tell them either.

After all, as Tianshu star, Uncle Tian's identity is kept secret, except for some key figures, most of the people in Liyue, and even the employees of the General Affairs Department, do not know Uncle Tian's identity.

From the eyes of the spies, Uncle Tian might just be a retired employee of the General Affairs Department, who has a good relationship with Ye Lan, who just invited him to drink tea.

"Okay, I'll go up and have tea with Uncle Tian, ​​remember to tell Ye Lan when she comes back."
