Chapter 9: Departing Early

Moyu knew very well that Pantalone, the "rich man" who was the ninth seat of the "Faints", had "special care" for Liyue, one of the economic centers of Teyvat, so Ningguang had to guard not only against the "young master" in the open, but also against the "rich man" who was plotting and making trouble in the dark.

The pressure was indeed a bit great.

Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly and rushed to the gate of Liyue Port in the drizzle.

"I guess I'd better go through the stone gate... I will pass by the "Dawn Winery" first. According to the general plot... Master Diluk will definitely not be in the winery, but in Mondstadt as a "dark night hero."

"Ah... It seems that knowing the plot is no different from not knowing the plot... Don't we have to follow the plan?"

Moyu shook his head helplessly, and then quickened his pace. A moment later, he arrived at the gate of Liyue Port. Seeing the number of carriages leaning against the roadside and the blue figure standing under the tree, his heartbeat suddenly... accelerated?

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand it. After all, from the perspective of inner preference... Ye Lan, a big sister with a mysterious temperament, is just to poke his XP.

Moreover, since he came to Teyvat for more than ten years... he and Ye Lan have been alone very few times, even though he is Ningguang's student.

Then again, which man can refuse to be alone with his dream goddess? I guess no one does, right?

Of course, it is not alone now, after all, there is a coachman sent by the "General Affairs Department".

After thinking about this clearly, Mo Yu shrugged his shoulders, walked quickly to Ye Lan, looked at the royal sister who was staring at the falling rain in a daze and whispered: "Miss Ye Lan?"

Hearing Mo Yu's voice, Ye Lan woke up slowly, looked at Mo Yu up and down and said: "Are you here? Then let's go." Then he jumped on the carriage, found a relatively comfortable place, held his chin, and observed the surrounding environment through the small window.

Mo Yu blinked, but didn't ask any more questions, and then jumped on the carriage.

After the driver confirmed that the two were seated, he drove the horse slowly along the designated route.

In fact, the distance between Mondstadt and Liyue... is not particularly far. It is about noon now. They can probably pass through the stone gate and arrive at the "Dawn Winery" in the afternoon.

Ye Lan looked at Mo Yu, who was obviously a little restrained beside him, and couldn't help but feel a little funny, and then asked softly: "What plans do you have for this mission?"

After saying this, Ye Lan seemed to feel that something was wrong, and added: "I am just your bodyguard, I will not participate, let alone interfere with your action plan. This time, the inquiry is just a mutual communication between partners, nothing big."

Mo Yu knew that Ye Lan's words were obviously said to prevent him from misunderstanding. Although... a bit redundant, it can finally show the characteristics of Ye Lan, the top intelligence officer of Liyue, who is very good at dealing with people.

"Well... I plan to go to the Dawn Winery first to see if the boss Diluc can directly negotiate a cooperation with us. If he can... then things will become much simpler. If not... we have to see if the Knights of Favonius can help."

"As for the dragon disaster..." Mo Yu said here, and suddenly sighed and said: "I'm wondering whether we should keep following up and help them solve more problems... or do good things to the end and see if there is any way to completely solve the dragon disaster..."

Looking at the frowning brows of the young man beside him, Ye Lan said softly: "In addition to the letter, Ningguang also asked me to bring you a message."

Mo Yu looked at Ye Lan, who was crossing his legs and looked indifferent, and asked with some doubts: "What?"

"She said... this trip to Mondstadt is just an exam. She wants to see how much benefit you can get for Liyue."

When Mo Yu heard this, his originally frowned brows instantly relaxed. Ningguang was giving him power, so that he didn't have to worry about the two "executives".

After a moment of silence, Mo Yu said to Ye Lan beside him: "If that's the case... Miss Ye Lan, I hope we can do our best to solve the dragon disaster. After all, it's not a small matter."

"Suppose that Mondstadt is destroyed by the violent Tevarin, then Liyue may be the next to suffer."

"Although Liyue is blessed by the immortals and the emperor, it does not mean that there will be no casualties."

His eyes as bright as the night quietly looked at Ye Lan in front of him, and then said solemnly: "Liyue is like a toddler who is learning to speak. We can't just rely on and expect the blessing from the emperor and the immortals."

"When Liyue was young and the outside world was unstable, their protection was the crutches that supported the Liyue people to grow slowly, and now... it's time to throw away these crutches and start learning to walk independently."

Ye Lan looked at the boy in front of her with some surprise. She heard Ningguang say that Mo Yu and Keqing were both radical reformers, but hearing others describe and seeing it for real are two different things.

Ye Lan sighed silently, then said: "I understand what you mean, so... do you want to completely solve the dragon disaster in Mondstadt before leaving Mondstadt?"

Mo Yu nodded and continued: "There are actually three reasons for doing this..."

"First of all, "dandelion wine" is Mond's main trading industry. If we can help Mond get through this difficult time, it is reasonable and reasonable... we can all get more favorable prices, which will be beneficial to our wine industry. It has a considerable promotion effect.”

"Secondly, if we can solve the dragon disaster in Mondstadt, then if there is any disaster in Liyue in the future and external support is needed... we can also use this time as an example. After all, there are human feelings and real events to put here. It’s a real guarantee.”

"Finally, it is the friendship between the two countries. Since the "fools" have stretched their claws so long... As the economic center of the entire Teyvat, and as the only mint in Teyvat... we should do it in advance It’s all about preparation.”

After listening to Mo Yu's analysis, Ye Lan nodded silently and said, "Then do what you want...I will ensure your safety."

"Thank you, Miss Ye Lan... please take care of me in the future."

Listening to Mo Yu's very official thank you, Ye Lan shrugged helplessly, and then asked casually:

"I heard... you can also cook?"

Mo Yu blinked, not knowing why Ye Lan asked this, but he still answered honestly: "Yes, I learned some from Master Mao and Xiang Ling earlier."

Ye Lan nodded thoughtfully and said no more.
