Chapter 26 The Rich Woman's Intuition
Did the Emperor tell him about the dragon disaster in Mondstadt? But why did the Emperor choose him instead of Qixing or other Liyue people?
Ningguang frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong, and her heart seemed to be filled with a cloud of mist, and she couldn't see clearly.
There must be something she didn't expect.
She took a breath and suppressed her confusion. She didn't ask Chen Tianfeng anything else - because there would be no result.
Chen Tianfeng would definitely use words like "I don't know" or "This is your guess, it has nothing to do with me" to prevaricate them, or deliberately say some misleading information.
Ningguang was very sure that this guy who was full of lies could do such a thing.
And it was enough. No matter what the truth was, one thing was certain: the dragon disaster in Mondstadt was not a lie.
Teyvat had been peaceful for five hundred years. Now chaos is coming, and Liyue should prepare early. And Mondstadt, as the initial outbreak point of chaos, will definitely have key people or things in the foreseeable future, which may be a sign of the storm.
"Mr. Chen, are you interested in a cooperation with me?"
"I'd like to hear more details."
"I would like to ask Mr. Chen to go to Mondstadt and pass on information to Liyue when the dragon disaster comes."
"This... Lord Ningguang is asking too much." Chen Tianfeng was embarrassed: "I'm just an ordinary traveler, I don't have much power. A disaster like the dragon disaster that can affect half of the country, I can't escape in time, I really don't want to seek death."
"Mr. Chen is too modest." Ningguang shook his head gently and said: "Since you have received the teachings of the Emperor, you are no longer an ordinary person."
"It's still too dangerous. I don't like adventure by nature."
"It's understandable. People who like adventure are a minority."
Ningguang glanced at Ye Lan, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly: "Mr. Chen, I heard that two days ago, you asked the Hall of Rebirth to hold a funeral for a young man named 'Yuan Mu'?"
"Lord Ningguang is really well-informed."
Chen Tianfeng admitted it frankly, and didn't say anything like "You dare to investigate me" or other nonsense - in this case, investigation is normal.
"My brother has a hard life and a difficult life. I have no ability, so I have to let him go in a decent way."
"As far as I know, Yuan Mu has a grandmother."
Ningguang looked at Chen Tianfeng with a serious expression: "I promise in the name of [Tianquan Star] that as long as Mr. Chen accepts my commission, I will let someone take care of Grandma Yuan to ensure that she lives a worry-free life."
"Lord Ningguang is giving me a difficult problem. With such a big disaster as the dragon disaster, I have no confidence that I can bring back any useful information." Chen Tianfeng looked hesitant.
Ye Lan glanced at him, crossed his arms, and said directly: "Tell me your conditions, Brother Chen."
Just now it was "I don't want to die", Ningguang raised the price, and now it has become "I don't have the confidence to bring back useful information". If the price is raised again, this guy will most likely not refuse, and he will even pat his chest to guarantee that he will definitely return successfully, raise his glass to toast to the cooperation or something.
"Miss Ye Lan still understands me."
Chen Tianfeng smiled, without the slightest embarrassment: "I have a few conditions."
"Please speak."
Ningguang looked calm, with the composure and composure of a young rich woman. It was just a matter of adding money. Any problem that could be solved with Mora was not a problem for her.
"First, there is no need to elaborate on the matter of Grandma Yuan. I trust Lord Ningguang. Second, I want a good knife and a fast horse. Third, I want information about the liar who lived on Willow Street some time ago."
Chen Tianfeng raised three fingers and put them down one by one: "Of course, Lord Ningguang, please give me some activity funds for my hard work of running back and forth."
"Okay, I agree."
Ningguang was very straightforward, and even felt that Chen Tianfeng's asking price was quite low, far below her expectations.
"Lord Ningguang is very generous!"
Chen Tianfeng praised sincerely, patted his chest vigorously, and said in a powerful voice: "Please rest assured, Lord Ningguang! I will definitely live up to your trust!"
After discussing the details, Chen Tianfeng said goodbye to the two people, glanced at the unfinished delicacies with some regret, and turned to leave the Liuli Pavilion.
"Ye Lan, do you believe what he said?"
Ningguang leaned back on the chair and raised her hand to press her temple. "The Emperor is passing on the Dharma... This kind of immortal fate may not have appeared for hundreds of years."
"He is telling the truth. The polygraph agrees with my judgment."
Ye Lan paused and said meaningfully: "But the truth does not mean the truth. You should know this."
"Using part of the truth to mislead the opponent to believe a lie is a common method in business wars."
Ningguang nodded slightly: "But he has met the Emperor. As long as this is true, we have to take him seriously. Ye Lan, I suddenly have another guess."
"Oh?"
"The Emperor is in trouble. He hopes that we can take the initiative to walk out of the cradle and stand shoulder to shoulder with him."
"This guess sounds really exciting." Ye Lan raised his eyebrows.
"But it's just a guess. Before the truth comes out, it's hard for mortals to figure out what the gods are thinking."
Ningguang sighed, paused for a few seconds, and asked: "Chen Tianfeng wants the information about that liar, is he trying to avenge Yuan Mu?"
"That's right." Ye Lan confirmed her thoughts: "Without that liar, Grandma Yuan wouldn't have fallen ill, Yuan Mu wouldn't have gone out to collect herbs, and he wouldn't have lost his life because of it."
"Yuan Mu should have been abducted by the Silver Wing Treasure Stealing Group, how did he and Chen Tianfeng know each other?" Ningguang was a little curious.
"The only person involved is Chen Tianfeng, and the specific circumstances cannot be investigated." Ye Lan shook her head and said, "It can only be confirmed that the five bandits of Silver Wing died at the hands of Chen Tianfeng - he should be avenging Yuan Mu."
"He is quite loyal and righteous. Although he is full of lies, he will do his best to complete what he really promised." Ningguang gave an evaluation: "You can try to trust him."
Ye Lan asked: "Do you think he really agreed to your commission?"
"Yes, there is no doubt about this." Ningguang said affirmatively.
"Oh?"
"Although Chen Tianfeng said that he promised Yuan Mu to take him back to Liyue Port and give him a grand funeral, anyone who knows Yuan Mu knows that this is impossible."
Ningguang's crystal clear red eyes were full of emotion: "That child, even in that situation, the one who is most worried in his heart must be Grandma Yuan."
So Chen Tianfeng must have promised Yuan Mu to [take care of Grandma].
He took great pains to use "fake broken snow" to reveal the news of the Mond dragon disaster, so that he could help him fulfill this promise.
"Hold a funeral for Yuan Mu, arrange life for Grandma Yuan, and seek revenge on that liar. This is what Chen Tianfeng wants to do most and must accomplish."
"So he used himself as a bargaining chip in exchange for my promise and help."
Ningguang smiled softly, "I have a feeling that this will be one of the most successful investments I have ever made."
It was just a little Mora, which was really not worth mentioning to her.
