Ningguang smiled and asked: "Keqing, you have never been late. What happened this time?" "There are too many people on the street and the roads are blocked... I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I haven't seen the streets as lively as today for a long time." On the way here, surrounded by maids and guards, Ningguang walked against the crowd and saw a group of old people in a nursing home. She was quite familiar with that nursing home. Every year on Zhuyue Festival, she would make an appointment with Ningguang to visit the elderly there with some condolences. Visiting the nursing home during the holidays is a new job she has added to the "Liyue Seven Stars". When she retires from the position of "Jade Star" in the future, this job will become a tradition and become the new "Jade Star". One of the work contents of "Hengxing". The elderly people are getting older and have inconvenient legs and feet. They usually spend most of their time in the courtyard of the nursing home basking in the sun, or sitting around chatting and playing chess. Today they supported each other and ran out to join in the fun. When she passed by the old people, she asked why they were all out today. The old people said with a smile, while they still have breath, go and cheer for the Prince of Winter. Keqing asked them again, do you hope that Prince Zhidong will defeat the Immortal in the field of Go? The old people said that it was to participate in a legendary history.
In the noisy crowd, it was inconvenient for her to ask further questions. The old people were pushed forward by the crowd behind them, but she had already understood their simple inner thoughts. Everything the Prince of Solstice experienced would be spread around the world and even recorded in the annals of history. If he could defeat the Immortal in the field of Go, it would be equivalent to creating a new history. As the most ordinary people, the elderly do not have a vigorous life. If they can participate in this period of history, even as an audience of this incident, it will add a very meaningful thing to their lives. People love and worship heroes, and the halo of heroes will illuminate their lives. This is a living legend who can bring the world not only hope, but also the best spiritual gift to the people. While Keqing was filled with emotion, she suddenly thought about whether to take advantage of the situation to hold a new Go competition... At this moment, after listening to her explanation, Ningguang smiled and said: "That's what I have in mind to hold a Go competition. To be honest, I thought you were the most difficult person to convince among us. Since you agree, then this Things will be much easier to handle.” Keqing said with a dark face: "Ningguang, why do you think so? Go is an educational activity and is beneficial to the people. How can I object to it?" Ningguang reminded her: "In the last Go competition, the immortal won the title of 'Chess Immortal'. You clearly opposed it. That day you came to Qunyu Pavilion and argued with me all day long. We argued from morning to night. My mouth was so dry that I brewed six full pots of the top-quality tea leaves that others gave me, and I still feel sorry for those tea leaves." Listening to Ningguang's half-joking tone, Keqing stamped her foot and said, "Ningguang, you hold a grudge. I'll pay you a few cans of good tea next time!" She strongly opposed the Go competition last time because Ningguang agreed to the immortal's participation. Keqing believes that it is not a good thing for immortals to participate in the competition. Not only will it not deepen the understanding between the two parties, it will also intensify the conflicts between humans and immortals. Later results confirmed her suspicion. After the Immortal won the title of "Chess Immortal", he made cruel remarks, saying that the Immortal would dominate the game from now on and monopolize the title of "Chess Immortal", which in turn caused public outrage. The immortals themselves didn't feel it. These words unintentionally provoked the people and stimulated everyone's nerves. At present, the common people spontaneously go to the mission station to support Prince Zhidong. This is the impact of the last competition. Among the onlookers, the vast majority of people want to witness the immortal's defeat. "Okay, if you can figure it out, then you can do your best to help me prepare for the competition." Ningguang's eyes flashed and he looked at the other people in front of the conference table, "What do you think?" Tianxuanxing Baizhu was the first to express his position: "Since Keqing has changed her position, I have no objection." Uncle Tianshu Xingtian said: "The purpose of the Go competition is to promote the Go culture and enrich people's spare time life. It doesn't matter when it is held. What is important is that it has influence and attention. In my opinion, it is better to hold it in advance and Nothing wrong with it.”
The other five members of the "Liyue Seven Stars" quickly approved Ningguang's proposal. After the matter was settled, Ningguang arranged specific tasks for the six of them respectively, and the "Eight Gates" fully cooperated with her three secretaries. When the meeting ended, Ke Qing asked: "Ningguang, you just said you only have three days to prepare. What's going on?" "Now you accompany me to see His Highness the Prince, and together we can persuade him to participate in the Go competition, and postpone the game agreed between him and the immortal until three days later. Anyway, the longer the better." Keqing blinked: "After talking for a long time, you haven't communicated with the prince yet. What if he doesn't agree, wouldn't all our plans be ruined?" Ningguang held her hand and said softly: "Today, we two sisters are fighting side by side to convince Prince Zhidong." "Okay, then I will accompany you." Ning Guang rarely asks for her help unless he encounters something really difficult. She agreed immediately. Chapter 152 After the two girls went out, they got directly into the carriage. Ningguang looked through the curtains on the carriage and looked at the bustling crowd and whispered: "We all underestimated the prince's status in the hearts of the people. He is indeed very charming, isn't he?" Keqing on the side smiled and asked: "Ningguang, tell the truth, are you attracted to Prince Zhidong?" Having worked with Ning Guang for many years, she knew this strong woman very well. Since Ning Guang took the position of "Tian Quan Xing", except for Yan Wang Dijun, he has never praised any man. Even though a general from the Qianyan Army assisted the Mondstadt Zephyr Knights last year and made great achievements in the border expedition, after returning home, Ningguang only enthusiastically held a celebration banquet and rewarded a large amount of money. No verbal praise, not even a word of comment. So much so that the general secretly came to her to complain, saying whether he had offended Master Ningguang. She spent a long time thinking about it before she appeased the general. Ning Guang was very surprised: "This question is inexplicable. Why do you think I am attracted to him?" Ke Qing carefully observed Ning Guang's reaction, and immediately knew the answer in her heart. She smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous. An outstanding man like the prince can easily capture the hearts of us women." Ning Guang saw through her thoughts, felt a little unhappy in her heart, and took the initiative to reveal some information. The secret report came from Yelan, who was sent back by Yelan's subordinates from Daozhi and Mondstadt. The intelligence said that the Queen of Winter had chosen a concubine for the prince. Mond's candidate is Qin, the acting leader of the Knights of the West Wind, and Inazuma's candidate is Kamisato Ayaka, who is known as the "Egret Princess". In addition, Prince Solstice is suspected to have a close relationship with the great shrine maiden of Inazuma Narukami Taisha Shrine. After the Solstice Mission left Inazuma, Inazuma, the great shrine maiden who commanded the shrine, often published novels anonymously in Yaedo's light novel publications. Most of the content was about her fictional daily routine of training Prince Solstice. Among the Seven Kingdoms, the only people who dare to tease Prince Solstice in novels are the descendants of General Thunder and Lightning. Prince Zhidong himself clearly condoned her willful behavior, because so far, the prince himself has not raised any objections. What’s even weirder is that no one from the Fools’ Organization stationed in Inazuma’s activities in the Solstice Kingdom raised any objections.
Intelligence personnel speculated that the relationship between the two was intriguing. It was the first time Ke Qing heard the tidbits about Su Yu, and she felt inexplicably depressed and said, "This information has nothing to do with me, so you don't need to tell me, I'm not interested!" "Oh? This is what you said, and I won't tell you anymore." Keqing immediately said incoherently: "No... next time... give me a copy next time." "It seems that you are still interested." Ningguang laughed at Keqing's inconsistent mentality. The two looked at each other and saw the care for the prince in each other's eyes, so they laughed heartily. The horseman who was sitting in front driving the carriage heard the laughter in the carriage and thought they were infected by the lively atmosphere on the street. He said loudly: "Two adults, look at how happy everyone is laughing, as if it's the New Year. I spent I spent half a year’s salary and bet on Prince Solstice to win, hehe, I hope I can make a little money.” Ke Qing persuaded through the door curtain: "The immortal's chess skills are unparalleled in the world, but the prince may not be able to win. It is better to buy less. If you lose money, how will you explain it to your wife when you go home." The groom replied: "My wife is even more excited than me. She asked me to put all my family's savings on Prince Winter's victory. She also said that she believed that His Highness the Prince could teach the immortal a lesson. Alas, I don't know whether she has ever Where does the confidence come from?” In the carriage, the eyes of Ke Qing and Ning Guang met again in mid-air, and they both said the same sentence: "Has His Highness the Prince cooperated with the gambling house?" …… "Prince Solstice cooperates with the gambling house?" The "squeaking" sound coming from the rotation of the windmill on the wall of Mondstadt almost drowned out the headquarters of the Knights of the West Wind. Captain Qin's voice was filled with surprise in the office. After listening to the latest information Lisa told her, she put down the quill in her hand, stood up and faced the sunset shining in the window, and fell into thinking. "Yes, Jean." Lisa gave her an affirmative answer again. She was also surprised when she saw this information just now. Anyone who cooperates with a gambling house has only one purpose: to make money. But there are many ways to make money, especially for Prince Winter. He has countless ways to gain wealth, so why did he choose the gambling house industry, which is not good for his reputation? The gambling house industry is located in a gray area of the laws of various countries. Except for the Winter Kingdom, the other six countries have not explicitly banned it, but they do not promote it. If the gambling house industry did not actively pay huge taxes every year, it would have been banned by various countries. This piece of information was sent by Kaiya before, so I read it in advance. Kaia stood in the corridor and handed the information to her, with disdain clearly visible: "Lisa, do you know how I feel at the moment? I'm going to Angel's Gift to have a drink. I won't come back until I'm drunk tonight." Last time Su Yu went to Mondstadt as an envoy to support the restoration of the Lawrence family and captured the senior members of the West Wind Knights alive. Su Yu also set up an ambush at Dawn Winery and captured him in advance, which convinced him. He admired Prince Winter's resourcefulness, but there were always some complaints in his heart. As the glorious cavalry captain of the Knights of the West Wind, the most humiliating thing he experienced during his tenure was that he became a "prisoner" last time. This incident meant something to him who had a hero complex, and it was destined to take a long time to overcome. Before crossing over, he had both respect and resentment for Su Yu.
Lisa continued to say to Qin: "Intelligence shows that the Prince of Winter is playing chess with the immortals of Liyue, and people from the seven countries can bet through gambling houses located in various places. Qin, in the entire Mondstadt area, you and I are probably the best. People who know him, I think…” Before Lisa could finish speaking, Qin suddenly turned around. The afterglow of the setting sun reflected her beautiful face: "I also think that he did not do this to make money. A person who intends to resist the laws of nature has no regard for life or death. No. would value money so much.” Now that Qin could stay conscious, Lisa no longer had to worry and asked, "What are you going to do?" "No matter what Prince Zhidong wants to do, I will respond to him. I believe that Master Fengshen will also lead me to make this decision." As soon as she finished speaking, the evening breeze blew through the hair by her ears. Qin immediately issued an administrative order in the name of the leader of the Knights of the West Wind: "During this period, the gambling house in Mondstadt is allowed to be open all day." Lisa smiled and asked: "Is this the only one?" "Is there anything else to add?" "That guy Kaiya always likes to cause trouble in gambling houses. If you don't restrain him, if he sees the gambling house's business is booming, he can lead people to destroy the gambling house." Qin nodded: "I know, I will keep an eye on him." Chapter 153 Bloody Speaking of Kaia, Jean actually has a headache lately. Ever since the Zhidong Mission left last time, he has been haunted every day, often questioning what happened that day when he chose to commit suicide in order to resist and was knocked unconscious by Su Yu and carried to the room. She told Kaia that she and the prince were innocent and nothing happened that day. As a result, a few days later, Kaia brought up this topic again in an insinuating way. In a fit of anger, she scolded Kaia. After Kaia got off work that afternoon, he went to a pub to drink alone. After getting drunk, he got into a fight with a homeless man on the street and his body was covered with bruises. Only then did she realize that Kaia was particularly concerned about her. But this concern may exceed the boundaries of a normal relationship between men and women... Kaia is brave, resourceful and witty, and is the backbone of the Knights of the West Wind. Lisa once told her that the Knights of the West Wind can do without you and me, but it cannot do without him, there will be problems in the operation of the Knights of the West Wind. She agreed with Lisa. She and Lisa are the "brains" of the Knights of the West Wind, while Kaia is the "hands and feet" of the organization. A large amount of work needs to be performed and completed by him, and his work ability is outstanding. In terms of life, in addition to drinking, Kaiya does not gamble, do not go whoring, and does not take drugs. He is very different from the previous cavalry captains of the Knights of the West Wind. He has never had any scandals with any women, and he lives a decent life. And simple. All in all, regardless of work or life, Kaia can be called one of the best men in Mondstadt. Any woman who marries him will enjoy happiness with him. But there was something missing in Kaia that made her heart beat. She had seen that kind of thing in Grand Commander Falga before. It was a crisis a few years ago. The three executive officers of the Solstice Kingdom, [Doctor], [Ms.] and [Captain], sneaked into Mondstadt City at night, supposedly to snatch a certain treasure from Master Fengshen. Grand Commander Falga blocked the way of the three executors by himself. He was wearing chainmail and holding a giant sword, blocking the city gate like a mountain. He told the three executors that if you come as guests, I will welcome you with both hands. , if you come to grab something, first ask if I agree with the big sword in my hand.
The war is about to start. Facing the three menacing executive officers of the Solstice Kingdom, she and the members of the Knights of the West Wind were extremely nervous at that time, but the leader of Falga yelled, "You are too weak, all retreat, let me go first," When I fall, you come back again! After saying that, he rushed to the battlefield alone with a big sword. Grand Commander Falga relied on his own efforts to really stop the three executioners of the Solstice Kingdom, not allowing them to step into the city, and successfully delayed the arrival of reinforcements from the Wind Demon Dragon Tevalin and the Knights of the West Wind. . Zhi Dong's three executive officers were forced to retreat.
