The young master paused slightly.
So that's what happened?
Yes, friend.
The situation in Liyue is currently chaotic, and the Fatui are under many constraints. The people of Liyue are now blinded by rage and see everyone as a ferocious beast, let alone the Fatui themselves.
Su Zhe was giving him a chance to divert the Liyue people's attention away from the Fatui.
Thinking of this, the young master immediately patted his chest and assured him, "Since the Mondstadt envoy has already taken action, how can the Winter Kingdom be stingy? Su Zhe, we are friends. This time, on behalf of the Winter Kingdom, I will provide one billion Mora to support the delivery of the Celestial Ritual! You wait, I'll go and get it right away!"
After saying that, Dada Duck ran out in a flurry of activity.
Walnut opened her cherry-like mouth and couldn't close it for a long time.
"Su...Su Zhe, didn't you say that Miss Ningguang provided the funding? And is the Mondstadt envoy really going to contribute money?"
Su Zhe laughed and said, "I was just kidding him."
Hu Tao blinked.
"However, this is also a good thing for the Kingdom of Winterfell. Look at the streets now, everyone is holding back their anger and needs a trigger or an outlet. By doing this, you can avoid being targeted by the people of Liyue, right?"
"I see."
"Do you understand?"
"I don't understand, but I'm shocked."
Hu Tao only cared about the funeral and didn't concern herself with anything else. "Then what should we do with these ten billion Mora?"
“Ningguang didn’t originally plan to hold a big event. I’ll just mention it when the time comes. I’ll keep the 1 billion for the Fools for now.”
Hu Tao suddenly realized and looked at Zhong Li: "Look at Su Zhe, he's the one who knows how to make money. When will you be able to live up to his potential?"
Zhongli doesn't speak; it's tiring.
"I've made my decision, Su Zhe. I'm officially hiring you as an honorary guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth!"
Su Zhe laughed: "Aren't you going to reconsider?"
"I'm not going to consider it anymore."
"Then I need to think about it. What are the benefits of being a guest advisor?"
"Su Zhe~~"
...
Meanwhile, inside the Northern Bank.
As expected, the young master is a straightforward person; he came straight here after leaving the Hall of Rebirth.
But when he asked for money, the manager in charge immediately said with a bitter face, "Young master, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a while for the 1 billion Mora you requested."
The young master was taken aback: "Why do we have to wait? Isn't there still plenty of money in the vault?"
"There was quite a bit before, but last time you took out 10 billion in installments..."
The manager was quite frustrated. Although the Northern Bank could make money, it couldn't withstand the young master spending money like this.
You really think money isn't money?
You don't know the cost of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household. But since he's the CEO, the manager can only go along with him.
The young master was unaware of the situation, but he knew there should still be money in the vault.
“They used to have it, but not anymore,” the manager sighed. “The people of Liyue have gone mad. The Geo Archon is dead, and they insist that it’s related to us. If it weren’t for the Thousand Rock Army stopping them, our store would probably have been smashed up. But even so, several of our bank’s big clients have gradually transferred their money away.”
The Northern Bank has money, but most of the money in it is deposited by other people.
The wealthy families and big merchants in Liyue often have hundreds of millions or even billions in savings.
Now that things have gone wrong and the Northern Bank is teetering on the brink of collapse, they naturally won't keep their money there.
Leaving aside the matter of the Emperor, what if the Northern Bank couldn't hold on and ran away?
"So that's how it is." After a moment's thought, the young master immediately understood the seriousness of Su Zhe's words. "It seems Su Zhe wasn't lying to me. This matter must be handled immediately. First, you need to raise 1 billion Mora for me, and then apply to the country in my name to transfer a sum of funds over, saying it's necessary for the mission."
"this..."
The young master said unhappily, "Don't hesitate. What's a little Mora compared to Her Majesty's mission?"
"Yes, yes, I'll take care of it right away."
Startled by the young master's gaze, Jing Jing quickly responded a few times, then remembered something and said, "By the way, news just came back that it seems the lady has been captured and imprisoned by the Thousand Rock Army."
"Huh? The lady has been arrested and thrown in jail? How is that possible?"
The young master did not believe it.
According to the plan, the lady should now be in hiding; he is in the open, and she is in the shadows.
Liyue is too busy taking care of its own problems to have time to capture a lady.
"The news is true, and he's being held in solitary confinement. Young Master, what do you think..."
The young master frowned: "Could it be that Seven Stars is trying to divert the hatred of the Liyue people through this? No, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Quickly raise the money for me!"
He planned to take the money and go to his good friend Su Zhe to find out more. If it was true, then the plan couldn't be delayed any longer.
"Fortunately, Su Zhe is here, he's reliable."
...
"ε=(′ο`*)))"
Ke Qing sat blankly in the office, unable to stop herself from letting out another sigh.
"Lady Keqing, here are the documents you requested."
The secretary came over and handed her the documents.
"Put it on the table first."
The secretary hesitated for a moment, nodded, put the things down, and left the office.
"Sister Xingzi, what happened to Lady Keqing?"
"Yes, she's looked completely listless these past few days, unlike the old Master Qing."
"Could it be that he/she is sick?"
"Impossible. He looks fine. I think it's probably because of the Emperor's passing."
"No way, Lady Keqing isn't usually..."
Keqing is notorious for her 'disrespect for gods'. Although she won't be overjoyed to see the Emperor die, she shouldn't be this dejected either. Her fans are still working diligently.
"Could it be like the saying in novels, 'The deeper the hatred, the deeper the love'?"
As they were saying this, a voice came from behind.

"What, is everyone bored?"
"Ah? Lady Ningguang..."
Upon seeing Ningguang suddenly appear, everyone immediately scattered like birds and beasts, getting back to their respective work rhythms.
Ningguang looked around before walking into Keqing's office.
The cat was still in a daze, seemingly unaware that she had arrived.
"Alas~ With the passing of the Emperor, even our usually decisive Lord Yuheng has become so dejected. It's no wonder he is the number one admirer of the Emperor in Liyue."
Ke Qing glanced at her indifferently.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say."
“There is indeed something wrong,” Ningguang said softly. “According to our investigation, a large number of unidentified sea monsters have appeared in the outer waters of Liyue, and they are all very powerful. Not only that, the number of marine creatures around the port has increased dramatically, and there are even many soft-bodied creatures like octopuses crawling ashore. They are slippery and are seriously affecting the work at the docks.”
In the past, fishermen would have jumped for joy to see so much seafood appear while fishing.
However, there are just too many of them, and they can't be caught all of them. Moreover, judging from their posture, it's clear that seafood is launching a massive attack on Liyue Harbor!
Ke Qing frowned, stood up and said, "I'll go take a look."
"Ke Qing."
As she reached the door, Ningguang suddenly called out to her.
"Is there anything else?"
Ke Qing turned around.
"I...dreamed of the Emperor last night," Ningguang said, pursing her lips. "Although neither of us spoke, I could feel it..."
Ke Qing's pupils contracted.
"So, no matter what the real situation is, now is the time for us to stand up and protect Liyue. Just like you once said, humanity has its own strengths, doesn't it?"
Ningguang smiled and said, "I believe that Lord Yuheng Star will not be defeated by these difficulties."
Ke Qing remained silent for a moment, then snorted softly and walked out.
"You don't need to tell me!"
...
The ritual of sending off immortals is underway. Su Zhe and Zhong Li are buying materials together, while Hu Tao is preparing other things.
On the way, they encountered Ying and Paimon, who had just returned from Jueyun Pavilion.
Su Zhe was somewhat surprised to learn that Ningguang had sent them to inform the immortals.
"Miss Ningguang came to see me and the traveler in person, saying that the Emperor has passed away and such a big event must be reported to the immortals as soon as possible."
As Paimon spoke, he patted his chest, revealing a frightened expression.
"It's clear those immortals are really angry. They seem to be saying they're going to come to Liyue to demand an explanation. I wonder how things are going now."
Su Zhe pondered for a moment. The immortals would appear soon, so it seemed he had to get his hands on the Immortal Ancestor's Dharma Body as soon as possible.
The problem is that the Fools aren't interested yet, so he needs to find someone to take the blame.
"The immortals and the Rock King have signed a contract to protect Liyue, and they are also friends. It's normal for them to be angry. However, if the immortals cause trouble, the farewell ceremony for the immortals needs to be arranged as soon as possible."
