“There are chess players and chess pieces on the chessboard, and naturally there will be abandoned pieces.

As you just heard, the way the demon gods care for people depends on their experience and vision. But the same is true for people. The way people do things also depends on their experience and vision.

Some people like to play tricks, while others like to be straightforward. These ways of doing things will have different consequences. And the consequences often need to be borne by someone.

There have been many warriors like the executive officer, Tartaglia, who are reckless since ancient times in Liyue. His actions naturally made him a discarded pawn. Using Liyue's hand to punish these executive officers is something that the Ice God is very happy to see. "

"Why does Zhongli feel like a big devil?"

"In popular novels, who else could rule a country for thousands of years if not a great devil?

If he didn't know these little tricks, the position of Rock God should have been replaced long ago. Besides, I also stopped him. But..." Zhongli didn't continue.

"Come to think of it, it seems that I haven't seen Tartaglia since we parted at the Golden House. Zhongli, do you know where he went? The Ancestral Metamorphosis should be in his hands, right?" Paimon began to think with her little head.

"He is in the prison of the Qianyan Army. If it's the Ancestral Transfiguration, he is just ahead."

"Huh? When? We were just walking down the stairs at Yujing Terrace, how come we are directly at Lin Zixuan's doorstep?"

"Have you ever heard of a convenient magic called 'Shrinking the Earth into an Inch'? It's very useful when you're on the road."

"Could it be that the person who betrayed the ancestral magic is..." Paimeng looked towards Lin Zixuan's villa.

Led by Zhongli, the three of them ignored the formation and came to the lawn of the villa, only to see someone sitting on a lounge chair on the lawn and touching a box.

"No, this posture should make it look more domineering. Well, would it be better to let it go around the pillar? It should be okay to let it lie directly!..." Lin Zixuan was concentrating on the placement of the ancestor's Dharma Sheil.

"That should be enough. I'll tell the Emperor later that the Ancestral Magic Metamorphosis was stolen by the Abyss, and then everything will be fine. The Emperor can't possibly break through the Abyss just for this Ancestral Magic Metamorphosis, right?

The most precious out-of-print figurine in the entire Teyvat continent is in my hands! Hahahaha!" Looking at the S-shaped ancestor's transformation, Lin Zixuan laughed out loud.

Ying looked at Zhongli's dark face and covered Paimeng's hand as he was about to speak.

"Stealing immortal objects, hoarding immortal objects, falsely spreading oracles, and deceiving the emperor. According to Liyue's laws, what is the crime?" Lin Zixuan's laughter stopped abruptly, and familiar words rang in his ears.

He turned his head mechanically and saw that Zhongli had taken out a one-handed sword.

"Do not!!!"

On that day, people at the ceremony saw a man flying across the square in circles and finally falling into the river in Lishajiao.

Not only was it recorded live on TV, but also the reporters who were quick to take photos of this precious scene. After the photos came out, it was discovered that the man was Lin Zixuan, who had a bruised face and a head full of bruises. People were talking about who had beaten him so badly!

These super clear photos of being beaten also became part of someone's black history, and were even later made into emoticons by a woman with dark blue hair and circulated.

"It seems that this bad guy's martial arts are really weak! He couldn't even withstand three moves from Zhongli and started to get beaten." Paimeng complained.

"Paimon, Mr. Zhongli is too strong. Mr. Zhongli is actually teaching me a new sword technique. I think I will be defeated around the thirteenth move." Ying took out the spare Sword of Dawn and started practicing seriously.

The servant Aji quickly served the best tea and fruit snacks. After all, Master Xuan had told him that no matter what happened, he must treat this guest from the Hall of Rebirth with the best attitude. And he had just heard the most shocking two words, "deceiving the emperor", and he didn't dare to think about it any further.

As the sun sets, Ying has mastered the new swordsmanship skillfully, and Paimon has also cleared away all the snacks that were served.

"Mr. Zhongli, you know about my brother, right?" Ying was wiping the sweat off her face with a towel, remembering that Zhongli seemed to have deliberately avoided the topic of his brother before.

"Well, due to the contract, I can't tell. But you will meet soon."

"Why are you all playing charades? Why won't you tell me? Why?"

"Your journey has just begun. When the time is right, you will know everything you want to know. Moreover, you will face a desperate choice, and it will be the same for him." Zhongli looked in the direction of Lishajiao.

Chapter 140 Liyue's Counterattack

A piece of gossip was spreading wildly in Liyue.

"What? Emperor Yan is not dead?"

"Yesterday I saw with my own eyes that the Emperor had turned into a point of light and disappeared!"

"Then tell me, who beat up Master Xuan and made him lose his temper."

"Oh, yeah, it seems that the only one in Liyue who can beat him is the Emperor, right?"

"I was skeptical about the death of Emperor Yan Wang, but after what he did, I don't believe it at all."

"It's good that someone can beat him up. I was really scared of a Thousand-Handed Ningguang that big! Thinking back on it now, my legs are still shaking."

"I watched the interview with Seven Star News last night. Although they said that the Rock King Emperor had passed away, I remember that they also said that people would retire when they get old. So I guess that if the Emperor gets old, he will not also... retire?"

"Hiss...it seems to make sense!"

"He faked his death and retired. He was most likely imitating the idle wind god Barbatos from Mond next door. He might have led the emperor astray."

"But Lord Yanwang Emperor only appeared once a year before, and these years he only appears every three to five years. He is almost retired!"

"Maybe he wants to let go completely? Even I can't understand Liyue now. It changes a lot every day."

“I also feel that things are changing too fast.”

"I heard that the delegation from the Kingdom of Winter arrived at Liyue Harbor last night."

"So fast? The Kingdom of Winter is very far away from here!"

"It should be some kind of teleportation device with great restrictions, right? It can be teleported directly to the Qun Yu Pavilion."

"I'm afraid it's not ready for civilian use yet. Otherwise, this teleportation device could probably earn hundreds of millions of Mora every day just by charging people at the door."

The gossip in Liyue Harbor dispelled a lot of gloom. But everyone knew that the next step was the key point, and it was likely to be a huge change.

evening.

People turned on their game consoles to watch the news, only to find that Liyue News had turned into Liyue New Policies. Is this really about to start?

A sad music came out.

The scene changes to show the Fatui raiding the Golden House, and the Thousand Rocks fighting back. At first, they had a huge advantage. Then a masked executor suddenly attacked from the flank, wiping out the Thousand Rocks with lightning speed.

When he came out of the Golden House, he kicked the bodies of Qianyan Army at the door away, took out his bow and arrows and shot them into a sieve.

A man dressed as a debt collector stepped forward.

"Sir, isn't there any here? The people we sent to Mingyun Town couldn't find them either."

"It's so well hidden! Burn this place down!"

"Yes!"

Thick smoke billowed out of the Golden House, which was soon engulfed by fire.

Screen transition.

Outside the Mingyun Town Research Institute, a dozen people with divine eyes gathered together.

"We will charge in together later. Most of the troops stationed here have been transferred to Liyue Harbor. We are all combined forces, so it won't be a problem for us to break through here.

It's full of confidential information, one copy of which can be sold for hundreds of millions of Mora. As long as we take it back, we won't have to worry about anything for the rest of our lives."

Afterwards, countless scientific researchers were killed and a raging fire also broke out in the Mingyun Town Research Institute.

The crazy Ivan pressed the button to blow up Tianheng Mountain. Tianheng Mountain collapsed, and one-third of the buildings and roads in Liyue Harbor were swallowed up by huge rocks. Tens of thousands of people were buried before they could escape. Children cried on the ruins, and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced.

The Executor issued an order to unlock the seal of Osel. After the war, the docks of Liyue Harbor were filled with corpses and shipwrecks.

Corpses were pulled ashore one after another. They were all ordinary people who were fishing in the open sea or were on merchant ships heading to Liyue Port and were affected by the huge tsunami. They eventually fell into the water and died tragically. The port of Liyue Port was littered with corpses covered with white cloth.

When people from all over Teyvat saw such a tragic situation, they couldn't help but feel sorry for Liyue. It was too tragic.

In the teahouse.

"If I hadn't been there, I would have almost believed it. There was not a single person at the foot of Tianheng Mountain."

"Those white cloths are filled with rare seafood ingredients. I was wondering why they were arranged like this. Turns out they are here."

"Nine true and one false, what a good plan. The Qianyan Army also forcibly confiscated all the newspapers and reporters' photos in Liyue Harbor. Words are not enough. If anyone dares to say that no one died, he will probably be beaten to death."

"We in Liyue Port know about it, but people in other places don't! Moreover, if we hadn't evacuated in advance and stopped the ships coming to Liyue Port, would these things really happen? We wouldn't even know how we died. If it were me, I'm afraid I would die with regrets."

"That's right! Just because of the monsters attacking the city, Liyue Harbor's victory in the past was a miserable victory."

The screen switched to the TV station.

People thought: Sure enough. Next to the host Murong Xuanji was Master Xuan from Xuanyuan Trading Company.

“In this incident, the death toll in Liyue has reached more than 1, and more than 18 people are missing. The on-site cleanup is still in progress.

The Golden House, Mingyun Town Research Institute, Qunyu Pavilion, and Tianheng Mountain were destroyed. The direct economic losses have reached 100 trillion Mora, and the indirect economic losses are incalculable.

Everyone has seen the instigator. We in Liyue will take a series of countermeasures until the negotiation is over. Now please let our Master Xuan make a speech. "Murong Xuanji reported the situation of the disaster.

"Originally, it's none of my business, so I can just let the Seven Stars handle it. Unfortunately, these Seven Stars and officials are so disappointing.

Did his spine break after the departure of the Rock King? He even said that Liyue should cede land and pay compensation to the Kingdom of Winter, otherwise it would be difficult to do business in the future.

I arranged for someone to check it out. I hadn't known the problem until I checked.

This disaster was man-made and premeditated, so we also evaluated and estimated what was going to happen, and discussed it at the Seven Star Conference.

This means... Qixing and some officials received the news early on.

Then, do you think that in the most critical moment, except for Tianquan, Yuheng, Tianshu, XX, XX, where were the remaining seven stars and some officials? Where were they when our Liyue Harbor Qianyan Army was fighting?

They went to the Shimen border to inspect the work, and all the family members went to Mondstadt for tourism."

The people of Teyvat gasped. How dare someone say such a "civilized sentence". The people of Liyue Harbor were furious.

"Escape is not a bad thing. When faced with force majeure, it is understandable to choose to escape.

However, rights and obligations are mutually reinforcing. When enjoying rights, one must also fulfill obligations, and vice versa.

There are no obligations without rights, and no rights without obligations.

The Rock King has granted you the power of the Seven Stars and officials, so you need to fulfill your obligations.

The most basic obligation: protect the people of Liyue.

When you were running away, did you ever think about the people in Liyue? What do the official Liyue uniforms you were wearing represent?

Since you have not fulfilled your obligations, Liyue will take back the rights you have been given."

Lin Zixuan took out an ordinary pair of steel chopsticks, and then took out a pair of wooden chopsticks.

“This is a steel chopstick, representing the spirit of Liyue, and the wooden chopstick represents the people of Liyue. If you put this steel chopstick in the middle of this pair of wooden chopsticks, do you think it will be more difficult to break them?

But what if all the wooden chopsticks run away? What if only a few wooden chopsticks are left? Then how long can the steel chopsticks last?"

The people in front of the screen instantly understood the truth and began to discuss it.

"These are the problems that Liyue has developed over a long period of time. Big businessmen occupy seven-star positions and own countless fertile lands. Most of them only consider their own interests. Anyway, no matter how many people die in Liyue or how much it becomes ruins, it doesn't matter. They will seek refuge in other countries first.

When these seven stars who worked hard for Liyue were crippled by disasters, it would be time for them to return to Liyue and take control of the power. By then, the civilians of Liyue would be treated like dogs and be ordered around.

Do you think it is a good thing to let these seven stars and officials become the rulers of Liyue?

During the week since the Emperor left, these big businessmen have been doing everything they can to get what they want. The grain bases of Guiliyuan and Qingce Village have all gone into their pockets. Some poor mining areas have also been taken over and mined in secret.

There are even many families that keep a large number of death warriors and even armies. Although they claim to be family servants, they have begun to attack some remote towns outside Liyue Harbor, replacing the mayors and using Mora to corrupt the officials of the General Affairs Department.

Looking at these reports, it’s only been a week, and overall Liyue has been divided up by you guys. You’ve done a great job, and I appreciate it.”

Lin Zixuan put down the report in his hand and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

The people of Liyue were furious, staring at the screen intently. This report probably recorded a variety of things, and many people swallowed their saliva, thinking that something big was about to happen.

Dozens of people from Keqing's family knelt in front of Keqing. "You did a great job!" Keqing looked at the contracts with bloody handprints on the table and felt very sad.

"From today on, Liyue will be changed to a system of ownership by all the people, that is, public ownership. It is divided into state ownership and collective ownership. That is, everything on Liyue's land, sea, and sky will be under the control of the state. It all belongs to the state, not to individuals, which means that individuals only have the right to use it.

People in Liyue, rest assured, this system is beneficial to a certain extent. For example, a farmer in Guiliyuan can take care of 10 acres of land. But because there is no Mora, he can only cultivate 1 acre of land and live a poor life.

The surrounding lands have all been bought by big families, and my land might be taken away by big families in the near future. If I don't sell it, I might lose my life.

After this system came out, the land belonged to the Liyue country, and no individual sale was allowed. You could apply to the General Affairs Department for 10 acres of land for cultivation, and you only needed to pay a small fee. In other words, you could contract more land and earn more money through your own labor.

For detailed and specific content, the General Affairs Department will have relevant documents and the TV station will have dedicated personnel to interpret it.

As for big merchants and big families, Liyue will give some compensation. But if you feel unhappy, you can go to the General Affairs Department to cancel your Liyue nationality. It only costs 1 Mora. Or, try to resist?

I know that many of those warriors who work for big families and big businessmen and the soldiers who pretend to be servants are poor people who are forced to do so by life.

Now you don’t need to work hard for them anymore. As long as you are from Liyue, you can have as much land as you want to cultivate and as many fish as you want to raise.

If someone wants to rely on some unfair contracts to lock up the people of Liyue, I am happy to go there. After all, if the subject of the contract is gone, then these people will be free as well. "

The people of Liyue were furious, and the people of Teyvat were also furious. How could he dare to do this? This would offend all the big businesses and families in Liyue. Even their foundations were pried open, and what awaited him might be endless assassinations.

"Now let me announce the second point, which is directed at the Liyue Seven Stars and officials. Running away before the war and during the war is really shameful.
