Chapter 356 Emperor is murdered
"It looks like it's about to start."
Among the crowd at Yujingtai, Ruoli squeezed to the front with the pink-haired fox.
"Yes, but there are so many people. When I become a general, I will also hold a fox-inviting ceremony..."
The pink-haired fox nodded in Ruoli's arms and muttered the second half of the sentence quietly.
"That's easy. Once Liyue is conquered, I'll help you attack Inazuma."
Ruoli heard the voice of the pink-haired fox and immediately nodded and spoke.
"You better keep your voice down..."
The pink-haired fox reminded with some concern.
There are Rock King's men all around here, we'll be doomed if anyone hears this.
At this time, Ningguang's voice also sounded.
"The auspicious time has come."
As Ningguang's voice fell, the Immortal Ceremony officially began.
The maids on both sides bowed slightly and took a step back, leaving the venue to Ningguang.
Ningguang raised her hands slightly to both sides and summoned several rock-attribute gems similar to prison topaz to surround her.
Then Ningguang pointed at the incense burner on the stone table with one hand, and all the rock jades flew out and surrounded the incense burner, while Ningguang drove the jades with movements like an immortal casting a spell.
All the rock jade was melted into the incense burner, and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it turned into a golden beam of light that shot straight into the sky.
Suddenly, the wind and clouds changed, and the clouds in the sky that were hit seemed to form a huge vortex, and the clouds slowly turned black.
Such a scene was no less than a miracle to ordinary people, and many people who watched the ceremony of summoning the immortals for the first time showed expressions of surprise and shock.
For example, Ying, Paimeng, and Liu Bai.
As the swirling clouds in the sky gradually turned darker, Ningguang directly below felt that something was wrong.
Why is it different from the previous ceremonies of inviting immortals...
Ningguang felt somewhat confused.
The Ceremony of Inviting the Immortals is hosted by one of the Seven Stars of Liyue every year. Given Ningguang's age, just like Keqing of the Jade Star who presided over the Ceremony last year, this is her first time hosting the Ceremony.
Such a change was somewhat unexpected for her.
At this moment, an accident suddenly happened. A brown dragon-shaped creature fell from the vortex, smashing the stone table in front of Ningguang and overturning the incense burner and offerings on it.
'this……'
"This year's ceremony to invite the immortals is really special..."
The sudden change shocked everyone present, and they began to whisper.
After the initial shock, Ningguang quickly moved forward and squatted in front of the dragon-shaped creature to confirm something.
Soon, she confirmed that the other person was no longer breathing.
"The emperor has been killed! Lock down the whole place!"
Taking a step back, Ningguang quickly turned around and gave orders to the Qianyan Army.
"Oh... this woman cast a spell to knock down Lord Yan!"
At this time, Liu Bai, who was watching the show in the front row, finally understood after his initial confusion and said.
Ningguang: “?”
Liu Bai was sitting in the front row and his voice was quite loud, so Ningguang was the first to hear it.
"?"
The audience around them, who were still confused by the sudden change, couldn't help but look at Liu Bai.
But some people seemed to think it was reasonable, so they looked at Ningguang again.
But right now.
"They're here!"
"Catch them! Where are they escaping!"
It seemed that one of the Qianyan soldiers discovered a suspicious person and hurriedly chased after him with the other Qianyan soldiers.
……
"..."
"See, I told you, the opportunity has come."
With a certain traveler sacrificing himself to attract attention, the blockade of the Yujingtai site was lifted.
Ruoli felt a little smug after leaving Yujingtai with the pink-haired fox.
In order to prevent her from causing trouble, a man named Zhong who did not want to reveal his name informed her of the plan in advance.
But it’s hard to say whether she will cooperate or not.
"Let's go, let's gather our troops and attack Liyue in a few days!"
Ruoli then carried the pink-furred fox on her shoulders and walked out of Liyue Harbor regardless of her struggles.
The pink-haired fox struggled desperately for a while, and finally could only stretch out its claws towards Liyue Harbor, but couldn't catch anything.
……
"What? Girl, you said that Prince Yan is my brother Zhongli?"
After watching the ceremony of inviting the immortals, Liu Bai took Nashida to a restaurant in Feiyunpo for lunch. After hearing Nashida's reminder, he raised his head in confusion.
"Yes."
Narcida nodded.
“…Ah! My dear brother, you died so miserably…”
Liu Bai burst into tears without saying a word, and ate big mouthfuls of rice while crying.
There were actually quite a few people in the store, but the atmosphere was a bit depressing. After all, the news of the Emperor's murder had spread immediately.
As soon as Liu Bai started crying, he immediately attracted the attention of the store owner and customers, but fortunately, the people who spoke before him were not loud and no one noticed what he said.
The shop owner hurried over to inquire about the situation, and Nashida had to explain that Liu Bai was deeply saddened by the murder of the emperor.
It would have been better if she didn't explain. After she explained, everyone in the store couldn't hold back their tears. A group of grown men couldn't help but wipe their tears.
Only Nashida, a foreigner, was a little confused, but she couldn't tell them that the Rock God was not dead...
While Liu Bai was crying and eating, behind a quiet alley in Feiyunpo.
"By the way, who are you, young man? Thanks to you for saving us just now!"
After escaping from Yujingtai and arriving at a safe place, Paimeng, who was exhausted and panting, rested for a while before he could not help but ask the man next to him.
"You can call me Master."
The man named Tartaglia said his code name.
"Wow... this person is so terrible. He treated us like servants after saving us just once!"
After hearing what Tartaglia said, Paimon spoke to Ying and Klevi in silence.
"Pfft... No, little Paimon, Young Master is talking about his code name, just like Liu Bai's code name is [Delusion], and Rosaline's code name is [Madam]."
Klevy couldn't help but chuckle, then she covered her mouth with her hands and explained to Paimon in a funny way.
"Eh? Sir... Madam... a pretentious person? Could it be that you are the Fatui executive officer?!"
Paimon and Ying looked at each other, and then Paimon remembered Tartaglia's identity. He immediately widened his eyes and leaned behind Ying.
"She's right. I remember you were the little guy next to the servant. I didn't expect you would remember me after meeting me once."
Tartaglia nodded, then simply greeted Krevy.
The two had met before during the Lantern Festival.
"Traveler, traveler, he is also an executive officer of the Fatui. What should we do? Is he a bad guy like the lady?"
After learning about Tartaglia's identity, Paimon pulled Ying back and discussed in a low voice.
"Hmm...wait for me for a moment. I have a question first."
Ying did not give a conclusion, but turned around and looked at Tartaglia after she finished speaking.
"Let me ask you, which executive officer are you?"
Without saying a word, Ying asked Tartaglia about the executive officer's seat.
"Me? I'm the eleventh seat."
Tartaglia did not hide it either, after all, his identity was not a secret.
"Then...what seat does Liu Bai have?"
Ying continued to ask.
"Him? Of course he is the twelfth seat, and his seat has not been changed yet."
Although Tartaglia didn't know what Ying meant, he still answered truthfully.
Ying then nodded slightly, pulled Paimon back and continued to discuss in a low voice.
"No need to look at it, it's another one I can't beat."
"Then just try to believe that he is a good person."
