If you want them to stop, apart from the "general", I'm afraid the only way is to beat them.
Beidou's Southern Cross Fleet, to some extent, is doing the shady work that the official authorities cannot do.
"Okay, I'll take it. We'll set off in three days." Beidou sighed. He really couldn't sit still.
Liyue is prosperous due to commerce, and has the largest number of merchants among the seven kingdoms. Who are the foreigners most affected by the Inazuma Isolation Order? It must be the people of Liyue.
The largest number of Liyue people are doing business in Inazuma.
"Haha, I knew you would agree, Beidou." Ningguang chuckled a few times when she heard Beidou's troubled look.
She likes talking to Beidou because as long as she explains the big picture and the interests involved to her, Beidou will understand.
"But you should know that this is only temporary. If you want them not to be bullied, you either need to take them back or ask Inazuma to give up the isolation order."
Beidou stood up and spoke slowly while looking at the sea outside.
As she said, knocking? How long can it last? It's impossible for the Southern Cross Fleet to come to the Inazuma Sea every once in a while, right?
Neither she nor Qixing would agree to that.
"Well, I know that, but how can it be easy? That was an order given by Thundergod himself." Upon hearing this, Ningguang's usually confident face also showed worry.
The lockdown order is the will of the Thunder God. It is impossible for Liyue to distort the will of the gods - unless the Geo God takes action.
But how is that possible?
The Rock King descends once a year, and that is the only time in a year that the people of Liyue can see their own god. Apart from this, even Ye Lan cannot find any trace of the Rock King.
As for the Liyue people evacuating from Inazuma, it was also quite difficult.
Let’s not talk about the thunderstorm for now. Just consider that the people of Liyue have worked hard for Inazuma for most of their lives and devoted all their efforts to Inazuma. Some have even started a family in Inazuma. This problem is very unsolvable.
"Yeah, I know. I was just talking." Beidou shook his head and stopped thinking about these things.
Let's go to Inazuma now and let them live a comfortable life.
"Okay, we've finished the business. Next, let me ask a few questions." Ningguang took a deep breath and said to Beidou with a smile.
"Hmm? Lord Ningguang, who knows everything. But you still have questions for a rough man like me?" Beidou was also extremely surprised after hearing what Ningguang said.
Liyue Harbor has no secrets for Ningguang.
"Of course I do. Don't think I'm that powerful." Ningguang smiled, then looked out the window at the afterglow of her conversation with Xiangling and said:
"For example, I don't know as much about that guy named Ember as you do."

"Haha, what can I know?" Beidou shook his head after hearing Ningguang's words.
"I've only met him twice. Instead of asking me, why not ask him directly?"
"In my opinion, Yu Jin is a person who is easy to make friends with." Beidou took out the wine gourd and took a sip, then said lightly.
……
"Hiss, why haven't they come out yet?" Yu Jin looked towards the direction of the captain's room of the Death Star, a little impatient.
Are Beidou and Tianquanxing on such a good terms? Why do they keep talking endlessly?
"Who knows?" Xiangling said with her cheeks puffed out. She had no interest in the conversation between Beidou and Ningguang.
The most important thing now is to eat!
Just when Yu Jin was about to take a peek, Bei Dou and Ning Guang finally came out of the captain's room.
“Okay, I won’t bother you anymore. Just continue.” Ningguang looked at the deck where the atmosphere had become solemn again, and left the Death Star without staying for too long.
"No? Does your Tianquanxing often run errands for others? How can he run so fast?" Yu Jin, who was standing aside, saw Ningguang's disappearing back, silently retracted his outstretched hand, and complained.
"Who dares to let Tianquan run errands? Maybe Lady Ningguang has practiced it before." Xiangling on the side smacked her lips. Indeed, Ningguang ran very fast.
Beidou became interested when he saw Xiangling and Yujin whispering in the direction where Ningguang disappeared.
She strode over and sat next to the two of them, smiling, "What's the matter? Do you want to meet Ningguang?"
"No." Xiangling shook her head. Ningguang knew everything that happened in Liyue Harbor. Xiangling always kept her distance from such people.
She would be satisfied as long as she could run her own Wanmin Hall well.
“I think so!” Yu Jin nodded. His guess was correct. Beidou and Ningguang had a special relationship.
"Haha, since you are Yu Jin, I believe Ning Guang is also very interested in meeting you. Wait for a while, and I will introduce you two to each other."
"What? We have to wait a while?" Yu Jin said in surprise. The ceremony of inviting the immortals is about to begin. We have to wait a while?
"Ningguang's schedule is very full. Ordinary people don't have the chance to see her, let alone get to know her."
Beidou smiled and said, "As a well-known figure in Liyue, it is no exaggeration to describe Ningguang as busy with all sorts of things.
"Tsk, it seems your relationship isn't strong enough." Yu Jin shook his head. That's it? Plastic sisterhood!
"This is the limit of what we can do as friends. Don't be ungrateful." Beidou was not annoyed. As she said, it is not easy for ordinary people to see Ningguang.
Unfortunately, Yu Jin is not an ordinary person.
"Okay, no need to bother. It still depends on me." Yu Jin said confidently, holding the chopsticks that he had never used in his hand.
"Actually, I've always wanted to say, Yu Jin, you're using the chopsticks wrong." Xiang Ling complained when she saw Yu Jin holding both chopsticks in his palm.
"Really?" Yu Jin was indeed led astray by Xiang Ling. He fiddled with it for a while, imitating Xiang Ling's way, and then gave up.
Yu Jin slammed his chopsticks on the table, waved his hand and said, "Goodbye, I'm going to find Tian Quan!"
The chopsticks in Liyue are quite difficult to use, and they are very particular. Yu Jin usually eats with his hands.
Looking at Yu Jin's impetuous back, Xiang Ling said uncertainly, "Why do I feel like he's trying to cover up the embarrassment of not being able to use chopsticks?"
"Great minds think alike." Beidou looked at the chopsticks broken into two pieces on the table and agreed very much.
……
"Da da da!"
In the dim and quiet alley, the sound of heels hitting the stone slabs is so crisp.
Privately, Ningguang likes to walk in such secluded places.
Her popularity in Liyue was, if not unknown, then well-known. If she appeared on a busy street, I'm afraid a large group of people would surround her.
Over time, Ningguang developed the habit of walking in secluded places.
As for the safety issue, I believe that anyone who is not a fool will think twice when seeing the shining Eye of God on her waist.
But now, it seems that some people are blind?
Ningguang paused. Having been in the shopping mall for many years, her intuition told her that there was someone behind her.
Ningguang pretended to stretch, but in fact she was observing the situation around her. But what surprised her was that everything she saw was normal.
There was no distortion of light and shadow, no scratches on the surrounding walls, and even when the elemental vision was turned on, no difference could be detected.
It seems that the person who came is very powerful, at least, in terms of tracking and hiding.
Thinking of this, Ningguang no longer bothered to try to entangle the opponent in the field he was best at. She walked faster than before.
Yu Jin's head popped out from behind the chimney. Although he was invisible now, he was still startled when Ningguang turned her head to look.
Seeing Ningguang's figure disappearing into the darkness, Yujin immediately followed. This was a major matter that he had entrusted, so he couldn't be careless.
Yu Jin followed closely behind Ningguang, who seemed to be aware of Yu Jin's presence. She turned several corners, but it was useless to Yu Jin.
Because Yu Jin was following her from the rooftop! He could see everything Ning Guang did.
Perhaps realizing that she couldn't get rid of the embers by just doing this, Ningguang simply gave up the pointless anti-tracking skills and instead walked towards a certain direction.
Passing through the Tiger-Eating Rock, the synthesis platform, and across the bridge, Ningguang walked out of the city of Liyue with ease and arrived at a suburb.
Except for a few lonely trees, there was nothing but a flat field. The lights from the distant Liyue city could not penetrate the darkness between them. Apart from the light of the stars and the moon, there was no other light.
"Are you making fun of me, sir?" Ningguang stared at the bushes that suddenly appeared behind her and said with a frown.
Her hiding skills were so superb just now, but now they are full of loopholes. Does she think that she will be easy to bully after leaving Liyue?
A gust of wind blew, and the bushes and leaves swayed a little, but nothing happened.
“Since you insist on being a coward, don’t blame me for being rude.” Ningguang looked at the indifferent bushes and decided to strike first.
The Eye of God on her waist suddenly lit up. A Xuanji screen composed of gold, obsidian and the surplus of the strong expanded where the bushes were.
As the rock element vibrated, all the leaves on the ground and bushes were swept away. When the dust settled, what appeared in front of Ningguang was not the criminals she expected, but two bare tree sticks that floated out of thin air.
A floating stick? Ningguang immediately thought of the Fatui's debt collectors. They have the ability to become invisible.
But generally speaking, this kind of invisibility can only fool ordinary people. As long as there is an elemental vision, you can see the fire elemental power flowing around his body.
Could it be that the Fatui have made a new breakthrough in technology? Ningguang saw this and felt that if she was too late, something bad would happen, so she waved her hand.
Pieces of rock jade condensed from rock elements appeared out of thin air and rushed towards the two wooden sticks floating in the distance.
"So violent?" Yu Jin, who was lying on the ground, saw it and complained. Then he stuck the stick into the ground, stood up, and faced the whistling gem.
He appeared, then took out a halberd and started dancing with it.
Yu Jin held the halberd and spun it 360 degrees. As the halberd turned, a storm was born.
Raise Storm - One of Stonewell's Storm skills. Can swing the weapon to raise a storm around itself.
Activate again to perform a maximum of two pursuit attacks.
The wall formed by the storm was so solid that it rolled up the gem shot by Ningguang. Then Yujin stopped swinging, raised his halberd, took off from the ground with the strong wind that had accumulated for a long time, and rushed towards Ningguang in the distance.
"Whoosh--" The halberd stopped precisely in front of Ningguang's forehead. The huge gust of wind even blew off Ningguang's hairpin.
"It's dangerous to walk alone at night, girl." Yu Jin retracted his halberd, picked up the hairpin on the ground and said.

"It's dangerous to walk alone at night, girl." Yu Jin picked up the hairpin on the ground and put it back into the hands of Ningguang who was still in a daze.
