If you want to go to Mondstadt from Liyue, generally speaking, you should take the direction of Dihuazhou, pass the official road, go through the stone gate, arrive at the transfer station of Chenxi Winery, take a rest before heading to Mondstadt.

Since ancient times, traveling merchants have taken this road, and this is the same road Ningzhe and others set out on this time.

Near noon, a team of more than 20 people slowly set off from Liyue Port and embarked on the road to Mondstadt.

The scale is neither too big nor too small, just right for a "goodwill" delegation.

That being said, before the delegation left, Tianquanxing Ningguang very considerately prepared a large group of secretly trained experts to escort them, and even sent them all the way to Shimen before they were ordered to return to Liyue Port.

Therefore, it was not until he passed the stone gate that Ningzhe dared to speak slowly.

"Old Cheng...how many times have you come to Mondstadt?"

After passing through the huge stone door of extraordinary craftsmanship, Ningzhe felt something in the air begin to change. He looked at Cheng Ying and asked curiously.

"the second time."

Lao Cheng was also unambiguous. He spoke directly without any thought: "Including the time I went to Mondstadt to deliver a letter, this is the second time I have come to Mondstadt through the stone gate."

"to be honest..."

Lao Cheng took a breath of air, exhaled for a long time, and continued: "I quite like this place. The atmosphere is very comfortable. Although it is not as prosperous as Liyue Port, it is better than being relaxed and free."

"of course."

Hearing this, Ningzhe shrugged and his expression softened.

Now that we have passed through this iconic landmark, we will get closer and closer to Chenxi Winery...

"Boss, shall we go to Dawn Winery next or go directly to Mondstadt?"

Yun Ting, the only woman in the delegation, suddenly asked. She was not called "Leader", but the title in Yunhai Bookstore.

"Um?"

Hearing this, Ningzhe turned his head to look at her with some doubts, with a puzzled look on his face.

"I mean... after all, our official identity is Liyue's delegation. If the first stop when we come to Mondstadt is not Mondstadt, but Chenxi Winery, will it cause any diplomatic incident?

..."

Under the confused expression of her boss, Yunting expressed her worries.

As we all know, the owner of Morningside Winery and the contemporary head of the Legenfind family, Diluc Legenfind, was once a member of the Knights of the West Wind, and he has always disagreed with some of the practices of the Knights after quitting the Order.

.He criticized the Knights' practices more than once in public places.

From the Liyue people's point of view, if we skip Mondstadt and visit Dawn Winery directly at this time, it will definitely arouse the dislike of the Knights of the West Wind...

"That's it..."

Hearing this, Ningzhe was not surprised at all. He just shook his head slightly and then said: "Your concern is correct, but I don't want to go directly to Chenxi Winery..."

"Although according to my understanding, even if we stay at Dawn Winery for a few days, we will not create a gap in the current leader of the Knights of the West Wind... But this kind of thing should be avoided as much as possible."

Yun Ting listened to Ningzhe's words quietly and waited for his next words.

"But... what if someone from Chenxi Winery takes the initiative to invite us?"

Suddenly, Ningzhe changed the subject and a smile appeared on his lips.

Immediately afterwards, the motorcade turned a corner and saw Chenxi Winery standing in a vineyard from a distance.

"I see, if it's the invitation from the Legenfund family, then it's none of our business."

Hearing this, Yun Ting suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.

"uh-huh."

Ningzhe didn't care, he just looked into the distance.

"The convoy ahead is Liyue's envoy?"

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the high ground on the right front. He was wearing black clothes and his appearance was invisible.

"Yes, may I ask who you are?"

Lao Cheng reacted quickly and responded immediately.

"I see, I'm being rude..."

The man in black bowed slightly, and then, a handsome man wearing a black gold dress with hair like flames appeared on the scene.

Surrounding him were the same few people dressed in the same clothes as the man in black before.

"Master Lu!"

The moment she saw the red-haired man, Ningzhe waved over and shouted loudly.

"..."

Hearing this, the handsome man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly helplessly.

As soon as he heard this title, he knew that Ningzhe had not changed at all.

"Long time no see. If you're not in a hurry, come to the winery for a chat."

Diluc's expression was calm and he nodded slightly towards Ningzhe.

That calm face coupled with his almost smooth words, coupled with the fact that there were several tough men in black standing next to him, easily made people think of the word "kidnapping".

"Okay, since it's Mr. Lu who invited you, I won't be respectful."

Upon hearing the invitation, Ningzhe accepted the invitation directly, and then ordered the people accompanying him to turn around and go directly to Chenxi Winery.

"..."

Seeing this mighty team, Diluc didn't say anything, he just nodded slightly and looked at them.

Are these the people of the [Kingdom] that defeated the Demon God?

Sure enough... they are different from most of the undisciplined Mondstadt people, both in appearance and in their hearts.

...

Inside Chenxi Winery.

There is a long wooden table in the elegant hall, which is filled with various delicacies, including Liyue cuisine and Mondstadt cuisine.

Moreover, the long wooden table itself seems to have been modified to accommodate all the members of the delegation, and the dishes on the table are also paired one by one. It can be seen that Chenxi Winery has put a lot of thought into this.

After sitting down, Ningzhe took a sip of the "Canggu Sunset" placed in front of him, looking comfortable.

The members of the delegation were all employees of Yunhai Bookstore. They knew more or less that some of their bosses had a good relationship with the noble son of Mondstadt, so they all looked relaxed and did not regard this banquet as official business.

"...Speaking of which, you are now an adult. Would you like to try the dandelion wine from Chenxi Winery?"

Seeing Ningzhe drinking juice as usual, Diluc handed Ningzhe a bottle of wine that looked quite good.

"Then I'll try..."

Seeing that the wine had been delivered, Ningzhe was not hesitant, so he immediately filled a glass and tasted it.

This wine...

The mellow and mellow aroma of nectar is paired with the free and easy nature of dandelion. Perhaps after the precipitation of time, this taste has become more rich and rich. After one sip, it feels like standing under the big tree that is blowing in the wind, enjoying the breeze...

"Wine of this quality is a treasure even for you, right?"

After coming back to his senses, Ningzhe looked at Diluc, his eyes shining.

"Of course. This wine is a special offering from Chenxi Winery. It is usually only supplied to leaders of various countries."

Diluc cut a piece of beef slowly, then wiped his hands, his expression still calm.

"Well... in short, it's very good. If you give it to Lord Ningguang, she will definitely like it very much."

After hearing the implication of Diluc's words, Ningzhe didn't make any move, and just waved gently to signal the members of the delegation.

Seeing Ningzhe's actions, Lao Cheng was the first to react.
