Chapter 14 Treasure thieves? That's alright
It turns out that Qingce Village recently needed to transport several batches of high-quality silk to Liyue Port, and bandits were rampant along the way. Although Qingce Village was well prepared, it still suffered heavy losses.
A large amount of silk was looted, and most of the rest was damaged. Even if it was shipped to Liyue Port, it would be difficult to sell it.
Logically speaking, although Liyue has had many thieves since ancient times, it should not have been damaged so badly if it had been prepared in advance...
According to the caravan guards, this group of thieves pinpointed their specific locations extremely accurately every time they appeared, and even knew exactly what color their underwear was...
Although there was some speculation that there was a mole inside, it was impossible to catch him for a while. So Feng Jun personally rushed to Liyue Port to look for Qixing for help.
By coincidence, as soon as Feng Jun came to Liyue Port, he heard that Tianquan Star among the Seven Stars was quite familiar with the young boss of Yunhai Bookstore... The matter was urgent, so he directly chose to come to Yunhai Bookstore.
...
After being told the reason, Ningzhe looked a little strange.
Why does this sound so familiar...
Oh, Ningzhe remembered.
Xingqiu mentioned a bad thing not long ago - the decline of the Guhua sect, and some people hope to obtain funds through extraordinary means to revive Guhua.
It’s interesting to say that Xingqiu is the young master of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. If the Guhua sect is short of molas, they can earn molas through Xingqiu. But this group of people is unusual. They claim that they do not eat food that comes from outside.
living comfortably without anybody's help.
As for the do-it-yourself method... Ningzhe doesn't know.
"Well... Regarding this matter, you can go to the young master Xingqiu of Feiyun Chamber of Commerce."
After thinking about it, Ningzhe looked at Feng Jun and said.
"Xingqiu?"
It was not like Feng Jun had never heard of this young master from a well-born family. Speaking of which, he was quite famous.
"Yes, if you want to find someone to protect the caravan, he can help you; if you want to know why the treasure thief group is able to predict things in advance, he definitely knows more."
"Really..." After hearing this, Feng Jun saw Ning Zhe's calm face and had no doubts at the moment, so he immediately said: "Boss Ning, thank you very much. I will formally thank you after I finish the matter!"
"Uh-huh."
Ningzhe also nodded.
The next second, Feng Jun walked towards the door and quickly disappeared from Ningzhe's sight.
"Hey... With such an agile body, he is already as good as many well-trained Qianyan troops. I don't know what level of treasure thieving group would force such a person to come to Liyue Port alone to ask for help...
Tsk tsk.”
Ningzhe sighed with emotion, and then called a tool man.
"How's it going outside?"
The tool man said helplessly: "What else can you do? Not to mention that Master Ningguang came here once before, let's just say that this time you made a big splash in Yujingtai. Everyone believed that you were related to Master Ningguang.
"
"This old woman..."
"What?"
"Ahem, it's nothing." Ningzhe, who suddenly realized what he had said, immediately glared at the worker, who also had a confused look on his face.
"Okay, then... you will release my new book "The Story of the Stone". I can't deal with these philistine businessmen, so let the bookstore businessmen deal with them!"
"Is "The Story of the Stone" finished? That's a great feeling. If it is released at this time, people from the Liyue Writers Association will definitely come rushing over."
Ningzhe nodded, patted the beater on the shoulder, and looked like a child who could be taught.
The laborer just rolled his eyes at Ningzhe, and then walked excitedly towards the door. It seemed that he had been tortured by the businessmen for a long time, and he couldn't wait any longer.
But Ningzhe just smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and got into his room.
...
Yes, in addition to being a Liyue storyteller and an Inazuma light novelist, Ningzhe also has the title and reputation of being an honorary member of the Liyue Writers Association and a master of classical novels.
Before Ningzhe returned to Liyue and took charge of Yunhai Bookstore, the largest bookstore in Liyue Port, the Writers Association was actually very unhappy.
Until Ningzhe took out a magically modified version of "Water Margin of Liyue Loyalty", the members of the Writers Association were immediately shocked and speechless. In addition, Yuheng Xingkeqing admired Ningzhe's expressions in this book very much.
With the view that "human power is great", Ningzhe secured his position as the boss of Yunhai Bookstore.
And a long time has passed, and all the scholars in Liyue Port are waiting for Ningzhe's new work.
As for what Ningzhe is doing now?
nonsense!
Code words!
Inazuma's side, Yae Shenzi, is still urging me!
If Ningzhe doesn't submit the manuscript on time, maybe this stinky fox will cross the sea from Daoji and give him to the sharks!
I still remember the last time, when Ningzhe had just finished writing "The Great War of Ronin" and was still recuperating, Yae Shenzi came over with a smile and started urging the next manuscript...
tmd Aryan Superman is not that good at writing, right?
Ningzhe abandoned Ning Yu on the spot, ran out of the Eighth Floor Hall, and walked around alone with his royalties.
Originally, everything was peaceful, but Ningzhe also chose to forget the reminder letter from Yae Shenzi...
Until that day, Ningzhe will always remember that day. He was just three days overdue for the manuscript, but Yae Shenzi actually personally killed himself from Narukami Taisha Shrine to Kujo Jinya!
"You are the great shrine maiden of Narukami Taisha Shrine. Wouldn't you really feel ashamed for abandoning the believers to catch me like this?"
"No. (instant answer)"
Ningzhe was then captured and locked up in a small dark room for nearly a month. It wasn't until he wrote the novel that the fox allowed him to see Dao's wife's sky again.
As for Ning Yu?
He didn't move at all, he just practiced swordsmanship every day, occasionally drank tea and chatted, and actually had a good relationship with that local snake Toma.
In his words, Ningzhe would be caught sooner or later without his protection. He might as well stay in Daozhu City and enjoy his leisure time.
"..."
Even now that he is back in Liyue, Ningzhe still feels a little numb when he thinks of these things.
Although there is still nearly a month left before the delivery date of the next book, this book "The Genius Fox's Green Letter National Revitalization Technique" must not be taken carelessly...
"Why..."
Only a long sigh could sum up his mood.
...
On the other side of Liyue Port, Ning Yu didn't know how uncomfortable Ningzhe was at this time, because he wandered to the Yujing Terrace and was stopped by an old woman.
"Hello, old lady."
Ning Yu greeted her politely.
"Hey, hello. Young man, have you just returned to Liyue not long ago?"
"Yes, I have been traveling around various countries before, and it is indeed not long since I returned to Liyue. How did you tell that, old lady?"
Ning Yu was a little confused, but he didn't feel any malice from this old woman, so he didn't mind chatting more.
"You ask me, old lady? Haha... I have watched all the children in Liyue Port grow up. In this country of merchants, there are not many pure people like you."
The old man smiled gently.
"May I ask the old lady who you are?"
Ning Yu had some guesses, but was not sure.
"Call me Grandma Ping, that's what the children all call me."
Looking at the gentle and kind expression of the old man in front of him, Ning Yu remembered some interesting things that Ningzhe had told him before.
For example... there is a real immortal in Liyue Port. She does nothing every day and just looks at Liyue Port quietly.
The sun rises, the moon sets, and the cycle begins again and again.
Ningzhe also mentioned her name.
[The True Lord of Gechenlang City].
"It turns out...Grandma Ping, I'm rude."
After reacting, Ning Yu quickly saluted, but was silently interrupted by Grandma Ping.
"Young man, are you free? Come play chess with me."
Play chess...
Only then did Ning Yu realize that a chessboard had been placed on the clean stone table, with the black and white pieces placed on the left and right sides.
"Since it's Grandma Ping who invites me, I should accompany you."
Ning Yu didn't hesitate and answered.
Chapter completed!
