"Thanks for your hard work."

After the situation was under control, Keqing came to Han Tingli and saw him sitting on the stone, so she comforted him softly.

Han Tingli, who was still calming down, did not dare to neglect. He knew the identity of the woman who looked like a girl in front of him, so he immediately stood up and replied with a smile on his face: "It's not hard, helping Qixing with things is also a good thing."

Such an honor.”

"Tch, what can happen to him? My people have been protecting him the whole time. How can such a big man be frightened by this scene?"

The speaker was Beidou who also came over after seeing the situation under control.

I saw her carrying a giant sword and stepping on the soft sand of Yaoguang Beach. She spat out Han Tingli with an unhappy look on her face, then turned to look at Keqing and said.

"Now that the situation is under control, do you still need me to send someone to help you escort these people back? It might be faster to take a boat."

"No need, just leave the rest to the Qianyan Army. Likewise, I would like to thank Captain Beidou for his help this time."

"No need to thank you. Anyway, we agreed to cooperate."

"After all, this is the job of our Seven Stars. As the captain of the Southern Cross Fleet, it is actually inappropriate for you to come to help this time. Although it is cooperation, due gratitude is still necessary.

Anyone who can go so smoothly this time will get the spoils. Your fleet has done a great job and everything is as it should be!"

When Beidou heard this, he glanced at Keqing, and seeing her persistence, he stopped refuting anything.

boom--

She put the big sword down and inserted it into the sand with a "bang" sound. Beidou put his hands on the hilt of the sword. He didn't speak first, but first glanced at Han Tingli who was standing aside.

Han Tingli, who had been embarrassed for a long time, immediately understood after seeing the look Beidou gave him, and turned to Keqing and said.

"Lord Keqing, I'm going to rest aside first. You two can chat."

"Okay, do you choose to go back to Liyue Port with Qian Yanjun or take Captain Beidou's ship back to Liyue Port? If you go with Qian Yanjun, I won't participate in the escort because I have other things to do, but I want to come.

There won’t be any problems with such a short distance.”

"It's okay. I'll just go back with Qian Yanjun. I won't bother Captain Beidou. I'll retreat first."

Bowing slightly, he could already hear the meaning of Keqing's words: There was no point in going back with Qianyanjun. Instead, going back with Beidou might be an opportunity to build some good relations.

But Han Tingli still hurriedly waved his hand and refused the proposal of taking the boat.

He had already felt that Captain Beidou, whom he did not know, seemed to be somewhat hostile to him. This made him feel puzzled, but he also tried his best not to get close to him.

Beidou, the "Dragon King" is still very famous in Liyue, but the two really have no intersection, which makes Han Tingli a little confused.

After Han Tingli left, Beidou looked serious: "What you Seven Stars do is really interesting. Since you already have a plan, why do you still want to cooperate with me?"

The tone was not serious, nor was it a question, but it lacked the casualness when treating fellow crew members.

Beidou looked into Keqing's eyes and continued.

"That's not what Ningguang said when he asked me to cooperate."

In fact, this sentence was not finished, and there was still half a sentence left: Ouyang never mentioned to her that there was an undercover agent.

This is what Beidou really wants to ask. In her opinion, Qixing's behavior is like an insult to her - an insult to her ability.

From her perspective, the whole process of the incident was that, although the cooperation had been agreed upon, how come there was an undercover scene in the end?

This is simply unnecessary. In the past few days, the people in their Southern Cross fleet have already explored the Fluttering Beach inside and out.

She didn't even need Keqing to bring Qianyan's army, she could lead her people to clear this place out.

The only reason why she didn't take action was that when she talked about cooperation, she explained that she had to wait for Qian Yanjun to take action together.

As for evidence, the shipping boxes given by the General Affairs Department are all specially made. With this, there is no need for other evidence at all. One can catch everything accurately.

There is no need for another undercover drama.

This is also the reason why she doesn't have a good look towards Han Tingli. To put it lightly, more than half of her merits were removed for no reason. For this reason, Mo La didn't make much money, and she felt unhappy.

And to put it more seriously, it felt like she was deceived by everyone, and she didn't like this feeling.

Ouyang did not explain it to her in advance, which cast a shadow over their brotherly relationship.

So Beidou is now asking the whole story behind the scenes.

This of course does not mean that Beidou will disagree with Ouyang because of such a small matter. It is precisely because of trust that she wants to ask clearly, and will ask clearly in person in the future.

Real brothers are not afraid to ask questions. If they are unhappy, they should have honest and frank communication. It is easy to get into trouble if they hold each other back.

Beidou still understands this truth,

And she thinks that based on what Ouyang usually does,

I also understand.

Keqing didn't know Beidou's thoughts, but she also sensed his serious attitude, so she didn't mind revealing a little bit.

"This is a plan that was already set up at the Seven-Star Conference, and it was put forward by Ningguang as an insurance just in case.

When Ouyang recommended you, Ningguang thought it was his first time working with you, so he suggested adding such an insurance policy."

Tsk, that woman...

Hearing Keqing's answer, Beidou showed a confused expression, but he didn't dwell on the question anymore.

Let's turn to another thing.

"Our Southern Cross fleet will go to sea in the future. It will probably take more than half a month. We won't be able to come back until then. The specific time is really uncertain. Where should I find you then?"

"Hmm? Is there anything else you need to ask me about?"

???

During the question and answer, both of them looked at each other with question marks in their heads...

The atmosphere suddenly seemed a little awkward. Beidou sniffed and asked uncertainly.

"Ouyang didn't tell you that you wanted me to protect you?"

Um???

"He, why did he let you protect me?"

Seeing Beidou's expression that didn't seem to be fake, Keqing became even more puzzled: "I will take people to camp at Dihuazhou, and then start arranging road construction and canal digging. There are Qianyan Army all around, what else do I need?

Protect?"

"No, Ouyang told me before that when you go to dig the canal, let me follow you to protect you and at the same time clean up the members of the treasure thief group around you.

Didn't he tell you about this?"

"Absolutely not!"

quiet--

After the atmosphere was quiet for a while, Keqing thought for a moment and asked again: "Did I tell you about this before the Strata Abyss happened?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"That makes sense. He may have forgotten that after such a big thing happened in the Strata Abyss, he had too many things to consider. Maybe this matter was forgotten by him."

Seemingly explaining to Ouyang, Ke Qing continued: "But since I want you to help eliminate the treasure thief group, I am very welcome. Anyway, I will be in Dihuazhou for more than a month. You can then

Come find me there."

"Okay. See you later."

"Well, see you later."

The two waved goodbye.

Keqing turned around, not letting anyone see the arrogant look that flashed across her face.

Huh, how dare you underestimate me.

Am I someone who needs to be protected?

Me, am I really that weak?

snort!

With her purple twin ponytails swinging behind her, Keqing strode away.

The sun had completely set, and the street lights in Liyue Harbor lit up one by one.

On the playground, Ouyang was sitting in a wheelchair. This time it was Gan Yu who pushed him, and Shen He followed him. The three of them walked out of the military camp.

I have been staying in the military camp for more than a week. I originally wanted to stay until the end of the training, but today I have to leave.

Some things cannot be put off.

Ouyang was still thinking when he heard the gentle voice of Gan Yu pushing a wheelchair behind him.

"Ouyang, is it really appropriate to choose that place?"

"Nothing inappropriate."

"However, according to Liyue's tradition, we usually choose a more formal place."

"I'm treating guests to dinner and sending greetings. Isn't that formal enough?"
