"Long time no see, Keqing."
"Yeah, so why did Inazuma run away when she saw me?"
Miss Keqing's expression was not very good. Her delicate little face was clearly smiling, but it made Arthur feel a chill on his back.
Watching Keqing stand up, her slender waist appeared in front of him. As her long black legs stepped forward, she pushed him back to the corner in the blink of an eye.
Keqing had originally thought about how to punish Arthur and teach him a lesson so that he wouldn't leave without saying goodbye again. Unfortunately, Keqing found that when they really met again and returned to the familiar place, she could only say one sentence.
"Welcome back."
"Well, I'm back."
"Cough cough."
Just when Keqing wanted to give Arthur a hug, Ying, who had been silent all the time, deliberately coughed, making Keqing realize that there were two figures beside her.
"Keqing, we are back too."
"Welcome back to Liyue, Ying and Paimon."
Ying felt a little helpless. What was this? Why did it feel like the two of them were redundant?
When Mingming said this to Arthur, he could clearly sense the nostalgia in his tone, but when it came to me, I felt like it was just a business matter.
The tone was not bland, but it didn't contain much emotion either.
Before anyone could say anything, Keqing immediately took out two documents and handed them to Ying and Arthur.
What Ying was holding in her hand happened to be the plan that the treasure-stealing group was participating in.
In Arthur's hands were some reform documents regarding Liyue's development.
Judging from the handwriting, it should have been written by Keqing herself. It has not been implemented yet and is just a draft.
"Keqing, Liyue is not just the Liyue of the Liyue people. Although it is good to rely on yourself, the biggest problem with your plan is that the only people who will contribute are the people of Liyue. Immortals and outsiders are not included in the plan."
"Also, although I know that the Fatui have done many bad things in Liyue, speaking objectively, the military and technological level of the Kingdom of Winterfell is at the forefront of the seven kingdoms. Moreover, due to the rule of the Ice Emperor, the country is unprecedentedly united. Although the total amount of funds that can be mobilized is not as good as that of Liyue, it is still unmatched by other countries."
"Excessive exclusion of the Winter Nation will only do more harm than good."
Alas, Keqing doesn’t like the Kingdom of Winterfell. It’s better to say that no one in Liyue’s top management has a good impression of the Kingdom of Winterfell. It was because Tartaglia released the demon god, and the reason why Liyue didn’t expel it directly was because it was attracted by the huge funds of the Northland Bank.
Arthur was speaking here, and Keqing was listening obediently opposite Arthur.
Just like a student following the instructions of his teacher.
Arthur had talked too much and felt his throat was a little dry, so Keqing quickly poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him.
Ying had left as soon as the two started talking, and now they were almost at the Adventurer's Guild.
Seeing that Arthur stopped talking, Keqing's delicate face relaxed, and she couldn't help but murmur, "If you hadn't just come back, I would have thought you had already met Ningguang and the guest official from Wangsheng Hall."
Looking at Keqing's little face and her hair bun, Arthur had a desire to go over and touch her.
I have to say, this is the good thing about getting along with Keqing.
Just looking at Keqing makes people feel comfortable, and it is not restrained to get along with her.
He is also good at listening to other people's suggestions and is a model boss.
Of course, this only applies to Arthur. Keqing used to be the king of work in everyone's eyes. Seeing Keqing, everyone was afraid of being forced to work overtime.
Ying had just arrived at the Adventurer's Association in Liyue and saw "Wang Xiaomei", whom he hadn't seen for a long time, communicating with the Adventurer's Association.
"Wang Xiaomei!"
Ganyu turned around when she heard the voice and saw Ying appear behind her. "Ying, my name is Ganyu, who is Wang Xiaomei?"
This is not the first time that Ganyu has been called "Wang Xiaomei" by Ying, but she doesn't know why she is called that. Who is "Wang Xiaomei" and does she look like her?
"Okay, Coconut Sheep, I get it, Coconut Sheep."
Ganyu was so angry. Couldn't she just call her own name properly for once?
And she also saw the document in Ying's hand, "What is this?"
"Oh, you're talking about this." Ying picked up the document in her hand, "Keqing gave it to me just now. I was planning to come over to take over a mission, so I brought it with me."
Gan Yu's delicate eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "I wonder if you have time, Ying..."
Before Ganyu could finish, "No, I'm busy with business. Goodbye!"
Chapter 177: Three hours, go home and sleep
"It's paid!"
Ying immediately changed her expression and came back to Ganyu, "Ms. Ganyu, although I am very busy, for the sake of peace in Liyue, I will help!"
"So..." Ying pinched her index finger and thumb together and rubbed them.
Ganyu's mouth trembled slightly, and she thought to herself, "As expected of you, Traveler."
But Ganyu is worthy of being the ancestral secretary of the Liyue Seven Stars. On the surface, her work is perfect. Even though she has no idea how many complaints she has made in her heart, she still maintains a smile on her face.
But the corners of my mouth couldn't help twitching.
Finally, after Ganyu's gentle explanation, Ying's eyes lit up.
"Leave it to me!"
Ying's voice startled the people around her, and then when they saw it was Ying, everyone turned their gaze away.
Get used to it, get used to it.
At this time, Keqing was still discussing with Arthur how to revise her plan.
Keqing had also heard the suggestions Arthur gave to her once from Ningguang and Zhongli, but Keqing believed that her idea was correct.
In Arthur's opinion, Keqing now seems to be in a posture of not turning back until she hits the Nanshan Mountain.
You can never change a person's determined ideas. Often, when she asks others for advice, she is more looking for recognition.
“Well,” Arthur stopped arguing with Keqing. “In that case, why don’t you gather people in a certain proportion to carry out your plan?”
"What do you mean?" Keqing asked curiously.
Arthur's eyes suddenly lit up when he looked at Keqing, and the pair of cat ears and hair seemed to come alive, just like a real purple cat, cute and resolute.
"How about this? For example, as you proposed, expand the official road and maintain order around the official road to increase the number of visitors to Liyue and increase Liyue's income. Why not recruit people according to your idea, but divide the entire project into parts and only do one tenth of the project."
Arthur said this, took a breath, and took another sip of the tea in the cup.
Then he continued: "Then calculate the number of people summoned, and take one-tenth of them to carry out the project to see if the effect can be achieved within the construction period. Of course, the funds provided by Liyue and the maintenance number of Qianyan Army will also be changed to one-tenth of the set number."
Keqing felt there was no problem, so she turned around and left without saying much to Arthur.
Arthur sat back down and sipped his tea again.
Keqing hasn't reacted yet. This is impossible. Even if you officially start the project, you have to do it from beginning to end instead of dividing the people into ten parts to complete their own tasks. This is not like the modern times where large machines assist in construction.
It can be regarded as a lesson for Keqing, allowing her to calm down a little. More importantly, it makes Keqing understand that in today's Liyue where there is no god, relying solely on human strength is no longer as easy as before.
Speaking of which, build roads, build ships, construct walls, clear monsters from country roads, and increase military strength.
Either one can greatly increase the national strength. Keqing is worthy of her name. Becoming one of the Seven Stars of Liyue proves her talent.
It's a pity that in this world headed by the devil, excessive pursuit of human rule often leads to insufficient strength.
Not long after, Ying came back. Seeing Ying's face full of smiles, Arthur guessed that she had received a mission.
"Arthur, let's go."
"Not waiting for Dain?"
Before Arthur could finish his words, Ying grabbed his arm and walked out of the room.
"Wait a minute, don't be impatient, my door is not closed yet."
Ying simply hooked her foot in white boots back, pulled it back, and closed the door.
Because Ying's legs were swinging too much, when she retracted her legs in white boots, a "pop" sound was heard between the boots and the skirt.
And she also lifted up a corner of her skirt.
Because Arthur was being dragged away by Ying, he just happened to see the spring scene.
It’s white, it’s really white, magic mirror 666.
Ying didn’t notice that she was exposed just now, or maybe she did, but she didn’t care and directly pulled Arthur to the destination.
"So, why are you in such a hurry?"
Based on the news, the two came to the Huachi Yanxiu secret realm near Aozang Mountain.
"So, you didn't even get the details, but just asked for a rough location and called me over in a hurry?"
"Isn't it because you're afraid that someone else will get there first? Isn't it because you're afraid that more people will be put in danger?"
Ying's face was full of flattery, "Arthur A Dream..."
"Don't look at me. I'm not really that blue-skinned mechanical cat. Where can I find it for you?"
Having said that, Arthur still controlled the power of wind and rock at the same time, searching for clues around him.
It’s a pity that this is the first time I’ve used the power of Rock. Even if I have the ability to use it, it’s still not ideal. At least, if it were Zhongli, he would have found it by now.
One hour, two hours...
Three full hours passed before Arthur finally found the clue.
After finding it, Arthur gave Ying an annoyed look and said, "Next time, make sure you are in the right place before you leave. You are in the wrong place now."
Although it was indeed around Ao Zang Mountain and very close to Huachi Yanxiu Secret Realm, the target location was on the other side of the mountain. I ended up searching back and forth for three hours. If I hadn't suddenly tried to look at the opposite side, I would have had to spend the night here.
"Okay, let's explore tomorrow."
"Hey, not today?"
"What? You want to sleep in the cave today?"
Ying shook her head. Being able to tolerate it doesn’t mean being able to get used to it. Why would one choose to spend the night in a cave when there was already a warm big bed?
The two returned to Liyue and went back to their respective residences.
Come to think of it, if Arthur hadn’t asked, I wouldn’t have known that Ying had already bought a house in Liyue.
Seeing that it was getting late, Arthur prepared dinner as usual.
Not long after I finished, I saw Keqing push open the door and come to her room with a pile of documents.
"Keqing, come and eat."
"Ah."
Keqing put the documents aside, washed her hands, and brought the prepared food from the kitchen to the table.
Speaking of which, Arthur hasn't cooked dinner on time since he arrived at Inazuma, and Keqing felt nostalgic after sitting at the table and putting the food into her mouth.
Clearly not much time has passed.
"Keqing, are you the one who comes over to help me clean the room every day?"
At the dining table, Arthur asked Keqing in front of him.
"No, I just clean it when the maid comes to clean every day."
Ah, I see. Come to think of it, I haven't seen that maid for a long time, although the only time we met there was some misunderstanding.
Chapter 178: The Cat in My Arms
When the two finished their meal, Keqing did not leave immediately. Instead, she put away the dishes, took them to the kitchen, and started washing them.
Looking at Keqing's familiar movements, Arthur felt a little embarrassed to remind her that he could actually handle it directly with his ability.
After cleaning, Keqing left with the documents and returned to her room.
Arthur also returned to the room. Although no one lived there, there was no strange smell in the room. Instead, there was a faint fragrance. The closer he got to the bed, the more obvious the fragrance became.
I seemed to have smelled this scent somewhere before, but I couldn't remember it right away, so I didn't think much about it.
Smelling the fragrance, Arthur lay on the bed, flipping through the book in his hand, and slowly felt sleepy.
After clipping the bookmark in place, Arthur placed the book on a nearby table, waved his hand, turned off the light, and after a moment of silence and the chirping of insects nearby, Arthur fell asleep.
