These two guys are very dishonest.
"Just got off work like this? Doesn't matter?" Yu Yan asked with some confusion as he looked at the fools coming out of the protective fence one after another.
"It doesn't matter, we were about to stop." Menggert smiled, then pointed at the dam and said, "Didn't the king see that there are not many Liyue people here?"
"Because of the 'Sea Lantern Festival', the people of Liyue are all resting."
"Holidays are such a good thing." Yi Yan sighed a few times after hearing this. Then he seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Are there any festivals at the junction?"
Menggert's expression paused, he thought about it, shook his head and said: "In my subordinate's impression, it seems that there is no such thing."
There is no such thing as a holiday in the borderland where blood stains the earth.
If you really want to say it, only the carnival days and festivals during the victory of the war are somewhat similar.
"If the king wants to have it, he can have it." Menggert thought about it and suggested.
"There shouldn't be any turmoil in the border area now, right?" Yi Yan didn't answer, but asked about the current situation in the border area.
"No, at least there should be no major turmoil before the demigods of our generation die." Menggert responded without thinking.
"Forget it, it's better to let things like festivals be born in the vitality of life."
Yi Yan shook his head, finally stopping the topic. Then his tone suddenly became mysterious.
"Have you heard of monsters?"
"Monster? What is that?"
Yi Yan's tone changed so quickly that Menggert almost didn't respond.
"Hehe, let me tell you, when the time comes, we go to Daowu, and you will..."
In front of the deserted dam, Ember danced and explained his "Paddy Wife Infiltration Plan" to Mengt!
……
night.
Not only did the crowd outside Liyue not shrink due to the biting cold wind, but it became even denser because of the arrival of the Hai Lantern Festival.
As the two largest commercial streets in Liyue, Feiyunpo and Chihuyan are even more crowded.
But among the bustling streets, there is an area that is sparsely populated. This is no other place, it is Beiguo Bank, which has already lost its reputation in Liyue.
In the Beiguo Bank, although the lights are still bright, there are only a few people and it looks like a decaying scene.
On the one hand, this is because Beiguo Bank has almost no customers and has no business. On the other hand, it is because the employees did too much physical work during the day and went to bed early.
The two phases are superimposed, so the number of people appears to be sparse.
But no matter what, in such a large organization, there will always be people working hard.
"Snapped!"
"Dadalia! Wake up!"
A gorgeous envelope spun past, popped the young man's snot bubble, and then hit him hard in the face.
"&＃! Are we going to move bricks again? No, didn't Foreman Meng say that we don't have to work for a few days during the Lantern Festival?"
The young master woke up from his deep sleep and muttered something in his mouth.
"Yeah, yeah! No need to move bricks in the next few days!" As he muttered, the young master actually jumped up excitedly.
It’s great that we don’t have to move bricks tomorrow!
"Are you trying to fool yourself? Both of you have the order from Zhidong!" The lady said, and threw another identical envelope to the skirmisher.
"Did it come from Zhidong?" The young master opened the envelope, and it was the order to recall him to Zhidong.
The skirmisher didn't talk as much as the young master. He just opened the letter and read it silently.
"Rice Wife, Evil Eye Factory, Heart of God." With just a few numbers, this is the next task for the skirmishers.
After reading, both the young master and the skirmishers fell silent.
"Speak? Why have you two become mute?" The lady looked at the two silent people opposite and asked impatiently.
"Is there any support over there at Zhi Dong?" the skirmisher burned the letter and asked.
"No." The lady shook her head.
"call……"
Snoring sounded, and the young master lay down on the chair and fell asleep.
"Oh!"
The lady threw a fireball at the young man, but the latter dodged it.
The young master stood up and swatted away the sparks on his chair, collapsed and shouted: "Are those guys in Zhidong kidding themselves? Do they think Liyue's dam is not enough, and they are also helping to expand the port?"
The skirmishers on the side also twitched their lips after hearing the young master's words. To some extent, this is true.
Because those people in Yujingtai actually revealed to them the plan to expand the port, but I don’t know whether it was true or just to scare them.
"Look at your appearance! Are you the executive officer?!" The lady shouted angrily when she saw the young master and the stragglers giving up on themselves.
"I remember that there was someone who seemed to disappear immediately. Who was it? A skirmisher?" The young master pretended to be confused and asked the skirmisher beside him.
The young master also wants to look like an executive, but if he can't stand it, Mengt can beat him until he has no appearance.
When he and the skirmishers aggressively attacked Menggete, Menggete almost killed his demon king's weapon.
He, Dardalia, is a martial arts fanatic, but he is not a fool. He will still give in when faced with a powerful enemy that he cannot yet match.
After hearing the young master's words, the lady's originally strong momentum suddenly dropped a bit.
She suddenly realized that she seemed to be the least qualified person to ask this question.
"Forget about this, do you have any ideas about your mission?" The lady used a trick called "changing the topic", and the effect was outstanding. The faces of the young master and the stragglers were suddenly covered with wrinkles.
"No." The young master was now in a state of disbelief.
"Wait for the right time." The skirmishers didn't show up, but it was almost there.
"Stop asking us, what about you?" The young master asked the lady while lying on the chair.
Among the fools in Liyue, only the lady's lineage has been spared the fate of becoming a beast because of sufficient proof of irrelevance.
It is no exaggeration to say that all the hopes of the fools rest on the lady's shoulders.
Hearing this, the lady recalled her mission: "Rice Wife, Civil War, Heart of God."
The words are equally few, but the things are not small at all.
Touching the ablation marks on her back, the lady's face was also covered with wrinkles.
"I don't have any ideas either."
"..."
"..."
The wordless silence continued. In the small conference room, the three executives looked at each other, and in the end they could only sigh: "Alas——"
Why do you feel that the future of fools is getting more and more bleak?
Chapter 394 Stone Lion in Front of the Door

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
A rhythmic knocking sound came from the small courtyard.
"King, what are you doing?" Menggert asked aloud as he watched the embers jumping up and down in the yard.
"Are you making a lantern? Can't you see?" Yu Yan stopped his movements after hearing this and played with the stick, rivet and hammer in his hand as he replied.
"..." Menggert raised his head and looked at the thing in front of him. He had also seen Liyue's Xiaolan. He had never heard of Liyue's Xiaolan and its carrying basket?
"King, this doesn't seem to be a Xiaolan." Menggert took out a small red Xiaolan from his cloak and compared it with what was in front of him.
This is clearly a hot air balloon, not a sky lantern.
"Never mind it! You can fly anyway!" Ember didn't care about the many embers. They had already built them. How could it be too difficult to dismantle them?
Upon seeing this, Menggert silently took back the lantern in his hand.
"Do you want to send something to the sky?" Menggert looked at the cargo basket under the frame of the hot air balloon. Is it possible that Ember has something to send to the sky?
But there’s no need to go to such trouble, right? As for Feitian, leaving aside Yi Yan, he can do it on his own without relying on external objects at all.
Yi Yan caught a glimpse of Menggert's eyes that were deep in thought, and immediately understood what he was thinking.
"Don't be so straight-brained. Being straight-brained can be boring sometimes!" Yu Yan spread his hands and said a little helplessly.
Anyone can throw a stick out, but if you pick up the thrown stick, bend it, and then wrap rubber bands on both ends of the stick, you will get several times more happiness than throwing the stick.
Ember's current mentality is almost like this.
"This thing is what we rely on to cross the sea! You don't want to get wet, right?"
Ember patted the frame of the hot air balloon and said confidently. Without this hot air balloon, he wouldn't have to swim hard to get to Dao Wife.
Mengt nodded in agreement. Although they relied on many other means to cross the sea besides a hot air balloon, this did not prevent him from agreeing with the second half of Yan Yan's words.
Thanks to his downy coat, Mongot also hates the feeling of moisture, even though he grew up in this environment.
In terms of fear of water, he is still very similar to Ember.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"
"Is Brother Ember here?"
"Yes, the door is unlocked."
As soon as Yi Yan heard the sound, he knew it was Zhongli who was coming. Without raising his head, he directly let Zhong Li in.
"Squeak!"
The door opened, and not only Zhongli, but also Hu Tao and Ruo Tuo walked in.
"Brother Yu Jin, look at the stone lion at the door..."
