"It is our duty to share the worries of the Queen and His Highness." Anastasia replied forcefully. It's not that she is hypocritical or modest, but that her contribution is insignificant compared to the prince. On the contrary, being able to become a part of His Highness's plan is her lifelong pride. "Send this batch of goods to the Lawrence family, and then go back and rest." Lawrence family? That decadent noble was ostracized and discriminated against by everyone in Mondstadt, and this batch of arms was actually given to them. That group of people are indolent and indolent, and they can't support the wall with mud. To be honest, even these fools look down on them and don't want to associate with them. But since His Highness the Prince gave the order, she did not dare to express her opinion. "As ordered, Your Highness."
"By the way, tell Schubert that everything is going according to plan." "Yes!" In the afternoon, the heavy rain finally showed signs of slowing down. The Knights of the West Wind and the others went straight to the Goethe Hotel. Qin held the compensation agreement in her hand as if she was walking with wind. She was eager to meet with Prince Zhiwin to confirm the validity of this agreement and to find out the true thoughts of the Fools. If the Fools planned to take revenge on Mondstadt because of this compensation agreement, she would not mind warning Prince Solstice to his face. Cavalry Captain Kaia led the squad of guards, following closely behind her. "Captain Qin and Captain Kaia please come in, no one else is allowed in." The lady with hidden mirror waiting in front of the door said. Kaia disagrees, but is stopped by Jean. These are trivial matters, and it is not worth the gain to be unhappy with the fools. As long as I can get the money from the compensation agreement, it doesn't matter what I feel. Before the expedition, Falga's regiment told her that as the leader of the regiment, she must learn to be flexible and flexible. In the lobby of the Goethe Hotel, Su Yu was sitting there leisurely sipping tea. Standing beside him was the waiter. The person serving tea and pouring water was Lawrence's patriarch Schubert. Kaia said bluntly: "It's really unlucky to see the Lawrence family. Your Highness, aren't you worried about their reputation being ruined? In Mondstadt, the Lawrence family is just a rat that everyone shouts about. Even the beggars on the street will tolerate it." If you keep stepping forward, you might even spit on me." "Kaia, pay attention to your etiquette. Prince Solstice has just come to Mondstadt and he doesn't know much about the Lawrence family. When he learns about the history of the old aristocracy, he will naturally regret staying with Schubert." Jean had no problem expressing her utter disgust for the Lawrence family to her face. As the leader of the Knights of the West Wind, she should be at odds with the old nobles who oppressed Mondstadt.
"Qin, you are still as clear about love and hate as you were when we met two years ago." Qin Ting chuckled and said, "The prince is still the same as he was that day, with the same style." "I can't say that I am still charming. There are so many things going on in the Winter Kingdom, which always makes me tired. No, Her Majesty the Queen understands my hard work and specially ordered me to go abroad to relax. You two, please sit down." Su Yu asked the two of them to sit down, and at the same time said to Schubert: "You can sit down too." Kaia said angrily: "I will not sit with the Lawrence family, I am ashamed to be with them! These people have dirty blood flowing on their bodies, it is disgusting." "You are very disgusted with the Lawrence family, aren't you?" Su Yu suddenly put down his tea cup and asked. Regarding Su Yu's knowing questions, Qin directly expressed her position before Kaiya opened her mouth this time: "Every generation of the Lawrence family must atone for their sins, and they carry the blood of sin on their bodies. Letting their family survive until now is a great kindness on our part. " Su Yu followed her words and said, "So Mond has stipulated that people from the Lawrence family are not allowed to join the army, participate in politics, participate in any festivals, and are not allowed to pray in the West Wind Cathedral." "Their children were bullied at school and ignored. When members of this family die, they are not allowed to be buried in the cemetery, but can only be buried in mass graves in the wild. The tax for doing business is twice that of others, and the donation to Mondstadt is also twice that of others. times..." Hearing Su Yu repeating the "unfair" policies against the Lawrence family one by one, Qin was surprised and said: "These are what Schubert told you, right? Prince, don't be deceived by him. His niece Yura is our West Wind The captain of the Knights' guerrilla squad, Mond will treat anyone who openly breaks away from their family." "I don't think so." Su Yu opened a copy of the meeting minutes of the Knights of the West Wind handed over by Lady Hidden Mirror, and said, "Yora originally applied to join the Knights of the West Wind, and you had a fierce quarrel at the internal meeting." "Finally, the elders of the West Wind Cathedral proposed at the conference table to use Miss Yula's joining the Knights of the West Wind to completely destroy the Lawrence family." "As the deputy leader at the time, although you did not support it, you did not explicitly oppose it. During the voting, you just abstained from voting." "So, Miss Yola is just your tool to destroy the Lawrence family, your dagger to stab the heart of the Lawrence family!" "Oh, that's right. Don't ask me where this meeting minutes came from. If you are really curious, then I can only proudly tell you that the Fools' ability to obtain information ranks first among the Seven Kingdoms. .” Qin's face turned pale instantly. The fact was just as Su Yu said, she couldn't refute it. The meeting minutes recorded the conspiracy of their Knights of the West Wind. Kaia said directly: "Your Highness, our methods may not be satisfactory, but everything we do is for Mondstadt. On the other hand, the Lawrence family, don't think that by being with Prince Winter, you can raise your head in Mondstadt! " Qin continued: "I came here today because of the compensation agreement, not to drink tea with you and reminisce about old times, nor to listen to your accusations against us. Of course, if you honor the compensation agreed in the agreement, that will be a different matter." Jean's attitude matched Kaia's. Finish the business as soon as possible and leave here as soon as possible. Every second she spent with the Lawrence family would make her feel uncomfortable. Over the years, it seems to have formed a habit, or call it a conditioned reflex. Even Qin herself didn't know when she started to be affected by this trend. In short, her disgust and disgust towards the Lawrence family was a kind of "political correctness" in Mondstadt. "Qin, I think you may have made a mistake. The compensation agreement is very clear. Only those who are in charge of the Mondstadt regime are qualified to urge our Solstice Kingdom to fulfill its obligation to compensate."
"The Knights of the West Wind is Mondstadt's orthodoxy. As the leader, am I not qualified enough?" Qin thought Su Yu's words were a bit inexplicable. Su Yu half-smiled but said, "Lawrence, tell her." "I'm really sorry, Captain Qin, Captain Kaia. The latest news we received is that the headquarters of the Knights of the West Wind has just been captured by our people, and the Lawrence family has taken over Mondstadt." Schubert, in a cheerful mood, continued: "From now on, the Lawrence family will regain control of the country." "And I, Shubert Lawrence, as the patriarch and the actual person in charge of Mondstadt, officially declare this compensation agreement invalid." With that said, Lawrence tore up the agreement and then still raised it into the air—— This is his certificate of submission to Prince Solstice. Papers flew like snowflakes falling. The resentment of being discriminated against, reviled, and treated unfairly for many years seemed to have disappeared in this tear, and was replaced by a proud face, exaggerated by ambition and looking gloomy and cold. Chapter 35 Despair and Helplessness "You are talking nonsense, I will kill you today!" With Kaia's violent temper, there was no way he could tolerate Schubert acting wild in front of him. But in an instant, a group of Lawrence family soldiers aimed their spears at his head. "Winter Firearms?" Looking at the dark barrel of the gun, Kaiya did not dare to act rashly. In this situation, the most important thing is to protect Captain Qin, not to fight with a group of musketeers. Although he was confident that he could deal with Schubert under the siege of the musketeers, in that case, both he and Qin would die here today. The Winter Firearms inherited part of the technology of Kanreia, which has always been a headache for the other six nations. After being reshaped and upgraded by Prince Winter, it formed a brand new version, which is more powerful than the other seven nations. Once a vital part of the body is hit, even if it has the Eye of God, it will be seriously injured immediately, thus losing combat effectiveness and becoming a prisoner of the enemy. This mysterious prince of the Winter Kingdom is simply the nightmare of the other six kingdoms! With his unparalleled scientific research talents, coupled with his wily skills, it is no wonder that the Winter Prince ranks above the eleven executive officers and is the only one favored by the Ice Queen. Today, both he and Qin were tricked by Prince Winter. The so-called compensation agreement was just a bait to attract them. But to some extent, he was not convinced by the defeat. Half a year ago, Grand Commander Falga led the main army of Mondstadt on an expedition to the north. The current defense of Mondstadt was empty, so the Fools seized the opportunity. Jean stared out the window at the soaring flames, with shouts and screams ringing in her ears. Along with the bursts of gunshots, it seemed as if every bullet pierced her heart. Seizing power often means bloodshed.
Every gunshot could signal the death of someone. Thinking of this, she felt heartbroken and at the same time confirmed that what Schubert said was true. The headquarters of the Knights of the West Wind may have fallen, otherwise people would definitely be sent to rescue them. However, Qin was also someone who had experienced big scenes and quickly calmed down. "Prince Winter, you secretly supported the restoration of the Lawrence family and overthrew the rule of Mondstadt by the Knights of the West Wind. This is tantamount to the Kingdom of Winter declaring war on Mondstadt and violating the peace contract between the gods of both parties." "The other five countries in Teyvat will not sit idly by and let you, the Winter Country, invade Mondstadt. Soon, the five-nation coalition will attack you, the Winter Country!" "In addition, if the news of Zhi Dong's capture of Mondstadt City spreads out, reinforcements from all over Mondstadt will come immediately to reinforce. You will not survive tonight." Qin was worthy of being the acting leader designated by Falga. A few words made Schubert nervous. Although His Highness the Prince is here to take charge, how can it withstand the pressure from the five countries? A pair of eyes focused on the majestic figure on the sofa. Su Yu said calmly while drinking tea: "Except for those present, the outside world will only know that it was the Lawrence family that was restored. The fall of Mondstadt has nothing to do with the Fools, and has nothing to do with the Winter Country. This is a deception. The struggle for power within Germany can be called a coup." Qin immediately said: "Do you think everyone else is an idiot? Prince Zhi Dong went to Mondstadt as an envoy, and this happened. Zhi Winter Kingdom cannot clear away the suspicion." "Qin, this is exactly why I used the compensation agreement to lure you to come to me. The Lawrence family can hold the emperor hostage to control the princes, and you, with the reputation of the Dandelion Knight, are the 'emperor' of Mondstadt. Outside the city of Mondstadt, If the forces use the rat weapon, they will definitely not dare to launch a strong attack." "Next, the Lawrence family only needs to imprison you and issue orders in your name, and the situation will slowly stabilize." Qin Fangcun was in chaos and said angrily: "The people of Mondstadt will never tolerate the restoration of the Lawrence family. They will rise up and attack the Lawrence family!" "Qin, you are really confused. Do you remember the other name of your city-state? The City of Freedom." Su Yu began to help her analyze the situation, disintegrate her inner fighting spirit, and completely defeat her mentally. "Free people, free will, free laws, but without the call and command of your Knights of the West Wind, the people of Mondstadt who have long been accustomed to freedom are just a mess. At most, people will go to the streets to shout a few times and protest for a while Time, and then you’ll get back to your normal life.” "Without the Knights of the West Wind, it won't have much impact on people's lives. They will soon adapt to Mondstadt without you." "Although we don't need to belittle ourselves, we shouldn't imagine how important we are. This world will continue to function no matter who leaves it." Hearing this, Qin's face turned pale and she was speechless. Mondstadt is most proud of its free spirit, but the people have been accustomed to freedom for hundreds of years and have become seriously dependent on the Knights of the West Wind. When they were separated from the command of Mondstadt's "brain", the Knights of the West Wind, the people lost their goals, lost their unity, and ran around like headless flies. This is the price of freedom. The next situation is likely to be the same as what Su Yu described. People go to the streets to make noise for a few days, then go home and give up the fight completely. There may be a small number of people who choose to continue fighting, but that won't make a difference. Qin could hardly stand still, holding on to the wall with one hand, feeling that the sky was dark and the earth was dark. "Prince Solstice, can you tell me what you want from your visit to Mondstadt?"
"Heart of the Wind God." Only Qin could hear Su Yu's answer. Kaiya, Schubert and others could not hear Su Yu's words. This is the effect caused by Su Yu using his divine power to control the propagation of sound. Qin can be regarded as the agent of the wind god Barbatos in the Mondstadt area. As the highest-level manager, she is qualified to know the true purpose of this trip. Furthermore, even if Su Yu concealed it today, Barbatos would tell her. A bitter smile appeared on Qin's beautiful face, and she realized that the situation was over.
