Chapter 102: Journey to Mondstadt
"Everyone, stand at attention!"
Outside of Liyue Harbor, a group .
"Everyone, remember, this mission is very important. You are all carefully selected elites. I only have one request: do not bring shame to Liyue and the Qianyan Army!"
"yes!"
"A thousand rocks are solid, a thousand peaks are immovable, a fortress of armor is built to quell demons and evil spirits!"
"A thousand rocks are solid, a thousand peaks are immovable, a fortress of armor is built to quell demons and evil spirits!"
After boosting morale, the handsome middle-aged man walked to the convoy not far away, looked at a young man who was dozing with his eyes squinted, and touched the other's head with the weapon in his hand.
"Boy, wake up, it's time to go."
“Hiss—it hurts.”
Gu Sanqiu opened his eyes and looked at the handsome guy: "Uncle Fengyan, can't you just give the order to set off? What does it have to do with me? I stayed up all night for you last night, let me get some good sleep."
"Yes, sure."
Feng Yan turned around and talked to the person in charge of the convoy nearby. After a few brief words, he ordered the Qianyan Army to lead the way, and the group headed towards Mondstadt along the official road.
That’s right, Gu Sanqiu stayed up all night yesterday.
After arranging his equipment, Gu Sanqiu rushed to Yuehai Pavilion, kicked open the office door, took Keqing with him and ran to find his sister.
Not long after, Uncle Tian arrived with a faint smell of fish bait in his hand. Gu Sanqiu, with a sour face, first paid a silver note as a fine, and promised to "write a 1,000-word self-criticism ten times."
The news received from Yaya quickly attracted the attention of several people. Ningguang and others were responsible for the personnel changes on Fengyan's side. Some equipment originally hidden in the secret library was taken out of the library under the collective instruction of Qixing.
Gu Sanqiu was responsible for determining whether these things had passed their expiration date and whether there were any risks for the users. This task alone took him half an evening.
Afterwards, after another personnel change, the Qianyan Army personnel came over under the leadership of Feng Yan. A secretary whose family ran a well-known tailor shop but did not want to inherit the family property was promoted on the spot to help Gu Sanqiu.
The so-called promotion on the front line means that Qianyan Army will drag this guy out of bed, wait for him to wash his face and wake up, then make him sign a confidentiality agreement and join the all-night work.
Well, luckily everyone at Yuehaiting is busy, and this office worker is a single man. Otherwise, it would be impolite to suddenly break into someone else's bedroom.
Recording body data, strengthening armor, strengthening weapons, the recovery pills, healing medicines, and detoxification supplies from the treasure bags carried by the Qianyan Army, Gu Sanqiu, after returning home, drew out a large part of the power of the earth fire to refine to death.
Thanks to the Gu family's technology that has been passed down for thousands of years and is constantly being optimized, as well as the young man's two indestructible kidneys, Gu Sanqiu finally managed to deliver the goods before leaving.
As for whether the crops around Liyue would have poor harvests due to insufficient geothermal energy in the next period of time, Gu Sanqiu could only bid another large-denomination silver note to indicate that he would be responsible for the loss, and then say that it was sponsored by Ningguang personally.
There is no way, after all, Tianquan is my elder sister. She must be the one who takes care of these small details. She can also hold up the scene in the officialdom and gain some favor among the people.
Then, he was targeted by Feng Yan.
Since there was no time to package the enhanced weapons, the cold light that would make children hide behind their parents at a glance became even colder under the sunlight. Even the chatterboxes in the convoy subconsciously lowered their voices and whispered quietly along the way.
Based on the above factors, Feng Yan suggested to Ningguang that Gu Sanqiu should strengthen all the equipment of Qianyan Army, or at least use his technology to strengthen the equipment.
Gu Sanqiu, who had just wanted to catch up on some sleep, suddenly jumped up after hearing this. He immediately took out a pen and paper and made a cost list for Feng Yan.
Seeing the huge number behind the words "estimated expenditure", Feng Yan said that he had indeed not considered this matter well, but we could pay in installments...
Moreover, as a powerful family in Liyue, shouldn't the Fengxiang people provide certain discounts or support in terms of military expenses?
Whether it is a discount or direct Mora support, the coach of the Qianyan Army said it is all right.
Looking at this handsome middle-aged man who was usually serious but acted cunningly in front of him, Gu Sanqiu could only spit blood and surrender, and promised to do it next time.
For most people, the next time might be as far away as "sale tomorrow", but for Feng Yan, who is serious and cares about his subordinates and the safety of Liyue...
Gu Sanqiu is already considering climbing over the wall and disguising himself the next time he goes out to eat.
"One by one, could it be that the fear of insufficient firepower is something engraved in the soul?"
The Emperor, who is working hard on research and development of sniper rifles, or trying to make the Qianyan Army collectively cheat, has set his eyes on Feng Yan, who wants to strengthen the equipment of his subordinates. Gu Sanqiu can only say that they are all big guys.
Can't afford to offend.
Because of Hu Tao, he was able to confront the Emperor. Feng Yan was the one who taught him martial arts, so he was half a teacher. It was really difficult for Gu Sanqiu to mess with him.
Otherwise, when Feng Yan reports to a certain Tianquan, he will be left to dry in the sun on the roof of the Qun Yu Pavilion for a few days, and may even be struck by lightning.
The reason why the convoy is so large is very simple. Ningguang selected a group of reputable and obedient business partners to set off together, under the guise of business exchanges.
With business people as cover, the planted spies can perform better and, by the way, they can also improve Ningguang's favorability in front of these businessmen.
You see, I have granted you permission to go with the team to such an important event. I don’t need to tell you what to do after you come back with your big profit.
The merchants who travel with the official team have high-quality goods and good character, not to mention the "official merchant group" flag that adds a buff when they are in other places. It is certain that they will make a lot of money.
In fact, Gu Sanqiu felt that this was just a ploy by his elder sister to make back the financial expenses of this trip.
The convoy moved forward slowly. Since there was not even a date on the letter, they were too lazy to rush forward like a forced march.
All the monsters encountered along the way were defeated by Feng Yan with a roar of "Leave it to us", so that the Qianyan Army could familiarize themselves with the new weapons and formation combat.
After all, it is impossible for all the elite soldiers and generals to stay in one team. They need time to adapt their newly acquired weapons and new partners to the fighting style of the Qianyan Army and their own combat habits.
As for the monster in the distance, Gu Sanqiu shot it in the head with an arrow. The merchants in the caravan felt even more that it was the right decision to hold on to Lord Tianquan.
At this point in their life, whether they have money or not, they still need to live long to continue to have it.
Not to mention the Qianyan Army who seemed to have extremely strong combat effectiveness, just the methods displayed by the incense-burning man who seemed to do nothing and slack off all day long were enough to make them feel a little scared.
The longest-standing business family in the caravan has been around for about five or six generations, but this is the first time they have dealt with the incense-bearing people.
Seeing Gu Sanqiu sniping monsters from a distance with an expressionless face, and flattening a large raised earth slope with one foot during the break to make room for the caravan to set up camp, and being so agile that he caught four or five forest pigs in just a few minutes and brought them back to make soup for them...
They seemed to have forgotten too many things about Liyue.
