Chapter 209

"no problem."

Hearing Han Xiao ask herself to wait, Keqing walked to the side without hesitation and pulled up a chair to sit on, then took out a thick notebook and pen.

Professional matters were left to professional people to handle, and she only had to wait. By the way, she happened to use this free time to correct some more official work.

As expected of Ah Qing, this allows her to find time to handle official duties.

Seeing Ke Qing immediately getting into work mode, Han Xiao's mouth twitched. She really couldn't afford to offend the workaholic.

Then he turned his attention to Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun and Abedo:

"Master Liuyun, if a signal relay tower is built near Jueyunjian, will it disturb the Qingyue cultivation of Zhenjun Xieyue and others?"

"You don't have to worry about this. There are just one or two iron towers on the left and right."

Seeing his disciple asking him this question, Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun immediately waved his wings to signal Han Xiao not to pay attention.

She is still counting on using her mobile phone to contact her other two apprentices.

Although the Thousand Miles Sound Conch can also achieve long-distance communication, the principle of the Thousand Miles Sound Conch is still the fairy magic circle, which requires the user to inject power.

In the past, when Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun contacted Gan Yu through the conch shell, he could only talk for a while and then hang up.

It's not that the two of them don't have enough immortal power, it's actually that injecting immortal power for a long time will make Gan Yu mentally tired.

In order not to delay work, the other party usually limits the call time to a very short time.

This makes Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, an "empty nest veteran", often feel the aggrieved feeling of being forced to hang up in the middle of a sentence.

But mobile phones are different.

In order to extend the talk time of the mobile phone, in addition to the energy supply method of charging crystal designed at the beginning, they later added a power mode.

Yes, power mode.

Abedo's previous research on battery miniaturization finally achieved a breakthrough. Although the performance is definitely not as good as Hanxiao's previous lithium battery, it is almost comparable to nickel-cadmium batteries.

With the addition of two energy modes, the mobile phone manufactured by Han Xiao and the others can already achieve a talk time of up to three hours.

It's just a little bit bigger in size.

Of course, it's definitely not as bulky as a big brother, and it's probably as big as the previous cordless phones.

After receiving Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng's reply, Han Xiao nodded, and then took a pen and drew a circle near Jueyunjian on the map of Liyue.

"That's about it."

"finished?"

Hearing Han Xiao's voice, Ke Qing quickly closed the notebook in her hand, raised her head and asked.

"Um."

Picking up the map of Liyue with the location drawn on it, Han Xiao walked up to Ke Qing and handed the map to him:

"That's all for now. I'll leave the rest to you. The sooner we can build it, the better."

"I try my best."

Taking the map handed over by Han Xiao, Keqing carefully put its volume number into her Eye of God space.

As for Han Xiao's request that it be completed as soon as possible, she did not dare to make a clear guarantee and could only say that she would do her best to complete it.

"Then Han Xiao, Zhenjun Liuyun and Mr. Abedo, I will take my leave first."

After putting away the map, Ke Qing nodded slightly to Liuyun Jiefeng Zhenjun, Abedo and Han Xiao, then turned around and walked out of the alchemy workshop quickly.

"Miss Keqing's work style is quite similar to Captain Qin..."

Looking at the back of Qing Qing Feng Feng Huo Huo leaving the alchemy workshop, Abedo couldn't help but think of Qin, who was also a 007 boss, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Although Yu Hengxing is a bit rebellious, his feelings for Liyue are genuine."

Hearing Abedo's sigh, Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng suddenly spoke in agreement.

She didn't really like Ke Qing's disrespectful attitude towards the emperor before, but this situation changed after she learned some of the other's 'little secrets' from Gan Yu and Han Xiao.

As for the little secret, well... it probably has something to do with the emperor clay puppets in Keqing's room that can't be filled anymore.

Emmm, I hope Keqing can be stronger in the future, after all, her 'handle' has been mastered by a certain master who is good at chatting.

Chapter 330: Honorary Liyue Man·Maplehara Manyo

Just when Keqing took the blueprints to build signal relay towers throughout Liyue, the matter on Dao's wife's side was also resolved.

As Ningguang's official documents filled with politeness and some soft knives were sent to the outlying islands, under pressure, the survey and Tianling executions finally gave up the search for the Death Omen Star, and at the same time returned the previously seized goods.

On top of the Death Star.

After receiving the news, Beidou immediately reached out and patted Maplehara Manyo's shoulder, laughing boldly and saying:

"Hahaha, what about Wanyu, I know that woman Ningguang is not a good person!"

"Uh, eldest sister, Master Ningguang helped us at least. Isn't it a bad way to describe the other party?"

Maplehara Manyo looked at Beidou helplessly.

Previously, I heard from Chongzuo and the others that the relationship between Beidou Sister Tou and Liyue Tianquanxing Ningguang was not easy to deal with. Now it seems that what they said is true.

"You don't understand this. That woman never cares what others say about her."

Hearing Maplehara Manyo's worries, Beidou waved his hand indifferently.

She and Ningguang have known each other since childhood and have worked together in Liyue for so many years.

She still doesn’t know who the other party is!

"By the way, Big Sister Beidou, in addition to Master Ningguang's letter this time, it seems that another Seven Stars also wrote to you?"

Maplehara Manyo suddenly thought that along with Ning Guang's official letter there was a letter from the Seven Stars Zhongtian Shuxing, so she quickly asked:

"Are you asking about that batch of goods?"

"Oh, you mean that boy Han Xiao."

When Maplehara Manyo mentioned the letter sent by Han Xiao, Beidou's expression suddenly became serious, and his tone was no longer as bold as before, but more troubled.

"That guy doesn't care much about the goods. He sent the letter this time specifically to find me."

"I think the letter from that Tianshu star must be about something big."

Seeing Beidou's expression different from before, Maplehara Manyo immediately understood that the other party's letter must have made a proposal that would make the eldest sister worried.

"Manyo, you have very good eyesight, but I always feel that you are not like an ordinary ronin."

Beidou was a little surprised. Maplehara Manyo was the one she liked and recruited on the ship. She had heard him introduce himself as a ronin before, so she didn't think much about it.

But the vision shown by the other party now does not seem to be that of an ordinary ronin.

"The Maplehara family used to be a minor noble, but it was just that my generation fell into decline, so I sold off the last bit of my family property and became a ronin."

Regarding Beidou's doubts, Maplehara Manyo didn't hide anything, and calmly told what he had experienced.

"Hey, you are so free and easy."

Beidou raised his eyebrows. It should be said that Maplehara Manyo is worthy of being the owner of the eye of the wind attribute god. This state of mind is indeed as unfettered and free as the wind.

She and Inazuma have been friends with each other so many times that they have long understood the strict class structure here.

Maplehara Manyo said it lightly, but even a small aristocrat with a declining family would generally not choose to be a ronin, the lowest status among Inazuma.

Could there be some other reason?

This thought only appeared in Beidou's mind for a while and then was forgotten. She only understands one thing now, that is, Maplehara Manyo is a crew member on her Death Omen Star.

She didn't bother to care about the rest.

Ignoring this matter, Beidou talked about the business to Maplehara Manyo:

"You are right. The letter sent by Han Xiao contains suggestions for me to incorporate the Southern Cross Fleet into the official fleet."

As he spoke, Beidou couldn't help but put on a headache-like expression, and said with a distressed face:

"I've rejected him several times, but this guy still hasn't given up."

"It's official...that's it."

After listening to Beidou's narration, Maplehara Manyo completely understood the cause and effect of the matter.

He had been on the Death Star for some time, so he naturally understood what a huge force the Southern Cross Fleet was at sea.

To slander her hometown, it might be okay if it were the rice wife of the past, but the current rice wife probably wouldn't be able to produce such a huge armed fleet.

The emergence of the national lock-down order caused Inazuma's overall national strength to decline a lot.

Therefore, it is understandable that the Southern Cross Fleet is such a powerful maritime force that Liyue Qixing wants to take it under its official name.

As for why Big Sister Beidou is still able to reject Qixing's suggestions and still go her own way, I'm afraid the interference of Lord Tianquan Ningguang is indispensable.

From this point of view, the relationship between the eldest sister and Lord Ningguang does not seem to be as incompatible as the eldest sister said.

Vaguely, Maplehara Manyo seemed to understand something, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly.

"So, eldest sister, are you still going to reject Tianshu Xing's suggestion this time as usual?"

"Oh, what should I say?"

"That boy Han Xiao is very fond of me, and he is very generous. He also helped the Southern Cross Fleet a lot."

"I've always had to reject the other person's suggestions, and I've gotten over it."

Hearing Maplehara Manyo's question, Beidou sighed deeply, with a look of helplessness on his face.

She and Han Xiao have met several times, and they get along very well, and the other person's temper and personality are also to her liking.

And just like Beidou herself said, Han Xiao helped her a lot in dealing with the Southern Cross Fleet.

Therefore, even Beidou, who has a bold personality, will feel bad after rejecting the other party's suggestions several times.

However, she did not want the fleet she had built from scratch to be incorporated into the officialdom and lose certain freedoms.

It's just that Beidou didn't expect that even if he arrived at Inazuma, he would still receive Han Xiao's letter.

"I'm just a wanted ronin in my own country. I'm afraid I can't give you much advice on such a big matter, eldest sister,"

Maplehara Manyo shook his head, he was really helpless in this matter.

The Tianshu star's attitude and conditions are good enough. In the end, whether he agrees or not depends on Beidou's own decision. He, a little foreigner, should not get involved blindly.

"Forget it, let me think about it."

Beidou waved his hand and decided to put this matter aside for now and talk about it later.

But immediately a narrow smile appeared on her face and she looked at Maplehara Manyo:

"Isn't it just that he is wanted by his own country? It's no big deal, Manyo."

"I remember that before I came to Daozhi, that guy seemed to have just issued a new announcement. As long as people from all countries have contributed to Liyue, Liyue officials will grant them the status of honorary Liyue people."

Saying that, Beidou gave Maplehara Manyo a thumbs up and said with a smile:

"You have been following me for a while, and your contribution to the fleet is not small. Otherwise, after you follow me back to Liyue, I will go to Han Xiao to ask for your honor as a Liyue citizen?"

"Uh...that's not necessary, eldest sister."

Chapter 331: Ying: Isn’t traveling more important than finding your brother?

Different from the helpless mood of Maplehara Manyo who almost became an honorary Liyue native, the mood of several real rice wives on the outlying islands is not very happy now.

"Are we just going to give up?"

Shinsuke Hiiragi looked at Kujo Takayuki who was drinking tea opposite him rather unwillingly.

They obviously already knew that the kid from the Maplehara family was hiding on Beidou's Death Star, and now they just watched him leave like this?

At first, the Kamisato family was suppressed by the two families because of unfavorable affairs. It seemed that it was already in ruins, but they never thought that the current head of the Kamisato family, Kamisato Ayato, had extraordinary means and managed to maintain the situation.

Originally, Shinsuke Hiiragi was not prepared to continue to suppress the Kamisato family, but he never expected that the last son of the Kaedehara family, who was once affiliated with the Kamisato family, would cause such a big trouble.

When he heard that a friend of the last son of the Maplehara family, Maplehara Manyo, was defeated and died in the imperial duel, Maplehara Manyo rushed into the competition site and fled with the Eye of God.

Hiiragi Shinsuke knew that this was a golden opportunity to suppress the Kamisato family.

And things developed just as he expected. Because of Maplehara Manyo's incident, the Kamisato family once again had the absolute upper hand with him and Kujo Takayuki.
