Chapter 832 Open and Frank Talk 1
"What? It seems our Lord Saigong hasn't realized the attraction of those puppets in your cave to these border guards. How about this, your route back to Liyue will start from Guili Plains again."
As she spoke, Ye Lan extended her small hand, waiting for Xu Ning to teleport her.
Xu Ning paused for a moment, then raised his hand and grasped the slightly cold little hand. "The title of 'adult' is just for fooling those old friends outside. I have always been Xu Ning, always have been."
In the garrison camp of Guiliyuan, the teleportation anchor point, which was hidden by a sturdy little house, had long since become a training point for new recruits to practice standing guard.
However, when each veteran hands over the reins to a new recruit, they always give a special instruction: "Don't underestimate this room. Who knows, one day a big shot from Liyue might appear from here, perhaps Lord Tianquan, or perhaps that person..."
The new recruits on duty this week all thought this was just a legend, but who knew that people would actually walk out of there today, and not just one.
The first person to come out was actually Lord Yelan, and in her undisguised form!
In Liyue today, one of the two most elusive and secretive officials is none other than the special intelligence officer, Lord Yelan.
It is said that this Lady Yelan, who has a thousand faces and can also sneak around, may brush past you countless times in your life. If you are lucky, you may even eat the food she brings and drink the tea she pours for you. However, you may never see her true face in your entire life.
And now, the two of them are actually fortunate enough to see Lord Yelan's true form?
The two recruits almost immediately straightened up and gave a Liyue military salute with a snap.
"Thousands of rocks are solid, and the mountains will never move!"
Ye Lan returned the salute, and under the excited and curious gazes of the two, she took two steps to the side, seemingly waiting quietly for something.
"Could there be another important figure behind this?"
As the two were pondering this, they saw a figure with a graceful figure and unusually heavy footsteps slowly emerge.
The metal mask depicting the face of a female opera performer, with completely mechanical joints, and carrying the heavy Thousand Rock Ancient Sword on its back, is Lord Xu Ning's "private army".
Not to mention the two on guard duty, all the soldiers in the garrison couldn't help but look over, but the Qianyan Army's excellent discipline meant that they only glanced at it before quickly returning to their training.
Suddenly, the weapons in his hands became incredibly sharp, with almost every move condensing supreme energy and spirit!
The generals, who had never seen their soldiers in such a state during training before, naturally understood why these guys had suddenly burst out with such momentum. However, they couldn't reprimand them at this moment. They could only curse them in their hearts as "brats" and then muster up their own momentum and shout out the training commands.
"How many are still missing? I don't remember there being so many. True Lord Liuyun, did you melt that huge thing down?"
Xu Ning sensed that at least two hundred metal puppets emerged from the Dust Concealment Gourd, half carrying the Thousand Rocks Ancient Sword and the other half holding the Thousand Rocks Spear, forming two lines outside.
"Finally I can come out. I was so suffocated in this little room."
Xu Ning strolled out of the hut carrying the Dust Concealment Gourd, and couldn't help but stretch out a big yawn.
The two new recruits on guard duty glanced at the last person to emerge with some confusion. Who was this person?
They were both surprised when their gazes simultaneously fell on the wine gourd Xu Ning was holding in his left hand.
Oh, so this is another elusive and mysterious figure!
What a day it is today! To be able to see the two most mysterious masters of Liyue all at once, this post was definitely worth standing guard for!
"Hey, what's the occasion? Everyone's training so hard. Things have been pretty peaceful lately, haven't they? No monsters, no wars..."
At this point, Xu Ning glanced at the spirit-suppressing puppets lined up in front of him and suddenly realized what Ye Lan meant by what she had said.
"These stinky boys."
Xu Ning couldn't help but curse, no wonder they were all so full of energy, it turned out they had seen the puppets in front of them.
To be honest, when Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun was creating these bodies, he almost always used the figures of his good disciples as models. Each of these dolls has a graceful figure and elegant posture, and their temperament is extremely close to Shen He's cold and aloof temperament, which only adds to their attractiveness.
After all, Xu Ning knew that on the Blue Star that his clone had traveled to, this kind of doll-like figurine was the most likely to arouse the collecting desire of Blue Star youths.
Xu Ning and Ye Lan led these two groups of spirit puppets southward from Guili Plains toward Liyue Harbor.
The construction of Guiliyuan has gradually become complete, and even fully functional grocery stores and restaurants have appeared on both sides of the smooth streets.
Although the achievements of Guiliyuan were brought about by himself and Ningguang, Xu Ning was somewhat distracted by the gradually prosperous scene around him.
The construction and development of Liyue are necessary, but the importance of doing these things will only become apparent much later, and they do not contribute much to the current situation.
On the contrary, the progress of the Thousand Rock Army itself may be somewhat helpful. However, judging from the posture of the garrison, it is likely that Ningguang and Uncle Tian have already begun to strengthen the Thousand Rock Army's improvement plan.
Moreover, the thought of Ningguang made Xu Ning's mind wander.
Since Yelan was able to intercept him at the teleportation anchor point in advance, Ningguang and Beidou must already know that he has returned.
They're probably all waiting in the Qunyu Pavilion for me to recount what happened on this trip, right?
Moreover, it seems that he said a long time ago that he would give the two of them an explanation, but so much time has passed and he has been avoiding the issue.
Now that I have recklessly regained my complete memories, I must have an open and honest talk with them.
Xu Ning's return caused a small sensation in Liyue Harbor.
After all, Liyue Harbor has been peaceful for too long. Even the old men who eat at Tiger Rock are complaining that they've lost their appetite lately, since there's been a lack of exciting news to make their meals more interesting.
Although the news of Fontaine almost being destroyed a while ago was quite sensational, that was a while ago, and there really isn't anything worth discussing right now.
Xu Ning's ostentatious display of the spirit-suppressing dolls undoubtedly provided everyone with new topics of conversation. Moreover, Xu Ning did not take the spirit-suppressing dolls back, but instead had Baiwen arrange for a few of his subordinates to take them around Liyue Harbor to familiarize them with the environment.
He himself ascended the Jade Pavilion together with Ye Lan.
