Chapter 251 Review after the banquet
In short, a turbulent banquet ended like this. The three Ningguang people came to Ningguang's office at the same time after they left. Of course, through the back door.
"Beidou, what do you think?"
As soon as they sat down and prepared tea, Ningguang asked Beidou for his opinion. Although the other party calls himself a rough man, how can the captain of the [Death Omen Star] be a vulgar person? The two are close friends and love to quarrel, so they still have this level of understanding.
"I don't have any particular opinion, but let me tell you, if he hadn't been in a high position during Solstice, I would have really wanted to get him on board."
After drinking the tea in the cup in one gulp, Beidou sighed regretfully. Although Zuo Xi is a literate guy, everything he does is of the highest importance. Not only did he help the resistance in Inazuma, but he also did not leave his true identity behind.
Of course, it is undeniable that the other party does have his own purpose, but who doesn't have some purpose? A gentleman talks about his deeds but not his heart, and everything Zuo Xi did won her heart. What a pity, what a pity!
"As for the rest, you should have already made a judgment, right? Then I don't need to say more."
Just like Ningguang trusts Beidou, Beidou also has considerable trust in Ningguang. What the other party wanted to hear was her own point of view from the perspective of the leader of the "Southern Cross". As for the other details, she believed that Ningguang must have noticed them and there was no need for her to say anything more.
"Well, although the relationship between you and me is not a secret, it is even normal for the "Liyue Seven Stars" and the "leader of the unofficial armed fleet" to restrain each other. But in the eyes of outsiders, our relationship is definitely not harmonious, if not "fire and water".
But the intimate behavior between us did not surprise the other party at all... It seems that the other party's intelligence gathering ability has exceeded my previous expectations. "
Ning Guang nodded, confirming Beidou's statement. She has indeed made her own judgment about the details. The play she and Beidou performed just now... no, it wasn't really a play. The two of them were usually in that state.
But what they did just now was deliberately showing off their usual communication posture without concealment, just to see how far the executive knew about them. Now it seems...
"Yeah, now it seems that even the color of your pants has been seen through, right?"
It was rare to see Ning Guang frowning for a long time. Beidou made an unprecedented joke to interrupt the other party's thoughts. In fact, in her opinion, even if the executive officer did not need to be worried at all, there was no need to treat him as a country-destroying enemy.
Although the other party's behavior is a bit out of bounds, it is not suitable for him to push too hard. After all, Liyue has been far from peaceful recently...
"Not only that, but the other party took the initiative to show that he was "not surprised." "
Yelan, who was playing dice on the side, naturally took over the topic and supplemented the exchange between Ningguang Beidou and Ningguang Beidou.
"I have observed the executive officer's eyes, and I am very sure that all our little moves are seen in each other's eyes... Well, you should have noticed it too, right?"
Ye Lan shared his observations, and Beidou and Ningguang showed no surprise at all.
"Is that really the case... But it is indeed the case. With the executive officer's government, it shouldn't be difficult to hide his expression.
So did he come with good intentions this time? "
Leaning on the back, sipping the fragrant tea in the cup, he expressed his guess as if talking to himself.
"That little friend from Zhidong...Yu Liyue, he has no ill intentions."
This is what the emperor said in his dream.
He could understand that the emperor wanted to convey the latter sentence, but in comparison, she was more concerned about the information revealed in the previous sentence.
"Little friend" - this is the term used by the emperor.
This alone is enough for the other party to become Liyue's guest. Also based on this alone, she can be sure that everything the other party did before has its own intention... Even if the other party has no intention, the emperor must have his intention.
But now the decisions she makes affect thousands of people in Liyue. From now on, there will no longer be an annual "Invitation Ceremony", and the "Emperor's Oracle" can only be history.
The pressure on her shoulders and the responsibilities on her body made her have to reconsider every decision she made... Even if she was suspected of disrespecting the emperor, she had to see it with her own eyes and confirm it with her own eyes.
This was originally what she planned to host the banquet for. Although for some reason it was the other party's banquet, the plan remained the same.
Judging from the tests before and after the banquet, the other party's intention was also very clear - a subtle expression of goodwill to reassure themselves.
If it were anyone else, this kind of goodwill expressed through planning would only make her more suspicious. But there was an oracle from the emperor before. Under this premise, all the actions of the other party can be seen as painstaking efforts to reassure them... How should I put it, this is the benefit of having someone as a guarantee, right?
"Ningguang, there's something I want to ask you... If it's inconvenient, you can pretend I didn't ask."
He waited quietly for Ning Guang to ponder, and when the other party came back to his senses, Ye Lan asked a question.
"Oh? It must be something that is inconvenient for me to hear, right? Then I'll leave first... By the way, Ningguang, can I get in touch with that executive officer? Let me tell you, I've been holding it back since I was a wife. I haven’t asked the traveler to introduce me, so you can’t do it even if you don’t agree!”
Seeing that the two seemed to be discussing something secret, Beidou consciously prepared to leave. It wasn't that she was out of touch. If Ning Guang had something to talk about, she would definitely not leave. But this matter was brought up by Ye Lan, and it might involve her personal affairs, so Beidou was naturally inconvenient to ask in detail.
But before leaving, she announced Ning Guang's next plan. The executive officer really liked her, and she would definitely make friends with him even if he couldn't get on the ship.
"Sigh... The little girl naturally has no right to interfere with Captain Beidou's actions. But you have already said so, is there any need for me to speak? Just go with it."
Putting down the teacup, Ningguang showed no intention of getting up to see off the guests. The two of them are familiar enough with each other, and Beidou himself has a bold personality. Even for a person like Ning Guang who pays great attention to etiquette, he can't help but subconsciously put aside those red tapes when getting along with him.
"Okay, you can ask. I probably know what you want to ask...I will try my best to answer it."
The relationship between Ningguang and Yelan is similar to Beidou, but different. With Beidou, there is more friendship between the two. With Ye Lan, the two have more of a working relationship.
"Ningguang, why has your attitude towards that executive changed so much?"
