"Eh? Zhongli, why are you here? It's so rare that you didn't go to drink tea at this time today. How nice!"

Under the setting sun, Zhongli was standing at the intersection when he heard a voice coming from behind him.

Turning around, what I saw was a walnut holding a long pole in his hand, with a white cloth hanging on the long pole, and promotional sentences such as "The second monument is half price" written on the cloth.

"Hall Master Hu, are you ready to go out?"

"Of course, I'm going to take advantage of the crowd at the meeting to attract some business. How about my promotional slogan? Isn't it good?"

After saying that, Hutao tilted his head and gestured to Zhongli with the white flag in his hand.

"Since Zhongli happens to be here, why not accompany me?"

"Well, Hallmaster Hu's advertising slogan is really good, but if you want to try it today, forget it."

"What's wrong?"

First she asked out of curiosity, but it was obvious that Hutao didn't take Zhongli's words to heart, and she continued to talk to Zhongli.

"Zhongli, you know, I came up with a brilliant idea to make the business of the Palace of Purity prosper.

Liyue Port has been under martial law recently, and there are not many people on the street. However, I found that Qianyan Army does not care about it during the peak hours of commuting every day, so if we carry this thing and walk on the street at that time,

It’s sure to catch everyone’s attention!

How about it?

I'm smart, right?

Hee hee hee!"

"Hall Master Hu's method of attracting more business for the Holy Life Hall is naturally very good, but the situation outside today is a bit special, so you may not be able to do so."

Hutao, who was in high spirits, finally calmed down this time and asked with some confusion: "Huh? Is today a special day? Why can't it be done today?"

"Master, please see, just now, the Qianyan Army's defense has been significantly strengthened. I don't think you will be allowed to swagger through the city with a white flag today."

"Oh? Let me see, let me see!"

Handing the white flag in his hand to Zhongli, Hutao ran to the intersection and looked around for a while, and found that things were really as Zhongli said.

In the past, there was only one Qianyan Army standing guard at each intersection, but now there are three of them, and their demeanor is not as casual as the previous few days, and they are much more serious.

Why is this so...

Hu Tao, who thought it was rare for him to come up with a brilliant idea, was shocked by the reality in front of him.

But this little difficulty obviously cannot faze Hu Tao.

She looked left and right again, and after thinking about it carefully, she excitedly said to Zhongli who had already walked beside her.

"Zhongli, I thought about it, since it seems like we can't go out on the streets with white flags today, we can put up the sign here too!

People coming and going will be able to see it when passing by!

right?!

right?!"

Faced with Hu Tao, who always came up with all kinds of weird ideas, Zhongli was a little overwhelmed at the moment.

He looked around and saw that the location they were standing on was the main road of Feiyunpo. This road connected Yujing Terrace to the north and Chihuyan to the south. It could be said to be an important transportation thoroughfare.

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the flow of people. When there is no martial law, there are countless people coming and going every day.

If, as Hu Tao said, the billboard is erected here, the effect will naturally be very good.

But after Zhongli read it, he still objected: "Although Hall Master Hu's idea is good, Liyue has its own laws. If you set up an advertising sign so casually, you will still be questioned by Qian Yanjun."

"Eh? Does Liyue have this law?"

"have!"

Zhongli answered simply. Although as a guest of the Hall of Purity, he now had the responsibility to take care of Hutao, Zhongli still resisted having him stand here with a white flag like this.

He just wants to retire, not die in society.

But it was obvious that Hutao didn't want to give up just like that.

"It doesn't matter Zhongli, let's not put up the sign now. We will put it up later when there are more people. Qianyan Army will not have time to control us by then.

If the Qianyan Army really comes to question us, we can just run away immediately. Anyway, the Hall of Purity is at the back, not far away, so just let the Yiguan girl stop them."

"...good."

Looking at Hu Tao who was serious, Zhongli, who wanted to find an excuse to leave, still stayed.

He had stood at this intersection before just to wait and see how things would develop. The process of retirement had already begun. This time, it was an appetizer before the main meal.

Meanwhile, the other direction.

In the private room of the teahouse where Dadalia was, the Fool's scouts knocked on the door and came to him.

"Sir, our manpower has been arranged in place. In addition, Tianshu star Ouyang suddenly appeared in the General Affairs Department just now. I wonder if it will cause changes in our plan?"

"Ouyang?"

Isn't he training the new Qianyan Army?

Why did he appear in the General Affairs Department at this time?

Could it be that he noticed something?

Dadalia placed the tea cup in her hand gently on the table and turned to look out the window.

From this location, you can see the square in front of the General Affairs Department, but because of the obstruction of the building, you cannot see the situation near the General Affairs Department gate.

He is very afraid of Ouyang, of course not because of previous apology or anything like that, but because he has been in Liyue for so long that he has not been able to find out the other person's detailed information.

The unknown often means danger.

He has been very careful in his actions this time,

There was nothing I could do about it accidentally, all the men I brought with me went to the Rock Abyss.

The remaining people have reached the point where they want to break one person into three people.

Therefore, in the early stage of this operation, he followed the trend and never forced the results.

But now the plan has reached the most critical stage,

If it fails and the personnel are exposed, then his subordinates will have no choice but to evacuate Liyue Port, and he will become the bare commander.

The tea cup was spinning in his hand, Dadalia's eyes were deep and he was calculating the gains and losses.

Soon, he made up his mind and ordered.

"Give me the order and proceed with caution. After the mission is completed, evacuate Liyue Port as planned and wait for my next order."

"yes!"

After the scout agreed, he slowly exited.

Dadalia finally decided to give it a try, Her Majesty the Queen's order is above all else!

If it really fails, the worst thing we can do is wait for a new batch of fools and soldiers to come over.

No, for Her Majesty the Queen, I must win!

Snapped--

With a soft sound, the tea cup was thrown back on the table. Dadalia stood up and came to the window. At this moment, he looked in the direction of the General Affairs Department, and his pressure turned into fighting spirit.

His eyes glowed with the passion of a warrior.

General Affairs Department, Office.

After Ouyang arrived here, out of boredom, he looked through the roster of the General Affairs Department.

This office belongs to Chang Yuan, the head of the General Affairs Department, and the roster is readily available on the table.

Soon, the roster was finished. Ouyang reluctantly put the roster back on the table and looked around, trying to find something to pass the time in this simple office.

Shen He, who was guarding the side, felt a little strange when he saw Ouyang's relaxed expression.

It seems that it is a little different from what I thought.

"Ouyang, you don't seem to be in a hurry?"

"Of course I'm not in a hurry."

Ouyang replied indifferently, his eyes still looking around.

It's a pity that although this is the supervisor's office, it is extremely simple and does not even have any decorations.

Shen He heard the answer and looked at the relaxed Ouyang again.

"Didn't Ningguang ask you to sit in the General Affairs Department to prevent changes?"

"Oh, are you talking about this? Later, on the way to the General Affairs Department, I almost figured it out. Our place is not the main battlefield, and it may even be just a bait."

"Bait? I don't understand."

"Haha, before I went to look for Ningguang, I asked Gan Yu to raise the level of martial law in Liyue Port, so large-scale people's troubles would be cut off from the source.
