215. Walnut A Goes Up
Returning to Hutao's room, Jiang Xuan was stunned for a moment.
It was dark, the lights were turned off, and there was a faint sound of breathing in the room.
Hu Tao seemed to be asleep.
He glanced at the table with some confusion. The note was intact, with no trace of it being opened.
Jiang Xuan smiled bitterly. Hu Tao probably thought that he let her go and sneaked away.
Isn’t this the end of it?
Hu Tao is still angry?
He quietly pushed the bedroom door, but it was locked. He looked really angry.
But think about it from his perspective, if Hu Tao told himself that he would do something big tonight, and then suddenly something happened and he left without saying a word.
Jiang Xuan was also furious.
With a wry smile, he used a little force to break the lock and entered the house.
Hu Tao was breathing very steadily and seemed to be asleep, but Jiang Xuan could hear Hu Tao's heartbeat.
She was still angry and hadn't fallen asleep yet. She even heard Jiang Xuan's footsteps, and her heart beat faster.
Jiang Xuan quietly went to bed and hugged Hu Tao tightly.
"Angry?"
Hutao didn't say a word, but moved Jiang Xuan's hand away unhappily, and then protected herself to prevent Xuan from taking any advantage.
"I had something to do with Zhongli just now. I went out for a while, but I left you a small note."
Hu Tao froze and thought of the note on the table.
But at that time, she was showering fragrantly, and she was so happy that she ran out and was carried into the room by Jiang Xuan. She looked around and couldn't find Jiang Xuan, so she thought he had escaped.
Naturally, he was too angry to pay attention to the small note.
"Are you still angry?"
Jiang Xuan snickered and sighed with pretense of regret.
"Then I'll leave now and come back next time."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Jiang Xuan could make any move, Hutao grabbed Jiang Xuan's hand and put it back.
After a moment of silence, he muttered:
"I thought...you went to find Gan Yu."
"What a stupid thing to say."
Jiang Xuan laughed dumbly and turned the walnut over.
In the darkness, Hu Tao's plum blossom eyes were shining brightly, looking a little aggrieved.
Jiang Xuan felt heartbroken for a moment, gently brushed Hu Tao's hair and said softly:
"How can I give up on what I promised you halfway? Zhongli and I went to meet a person and talked about some things.
Jiang Xuan didn't reveal the other party's identity, and Hu Tao didn't ask any questions.
She is not stupid, Zhongli has been a guest since her grandfather's time, and her appearance has not changed even now, more than ten years later.
How could Hutao not think of Zhongli's special status?
In addition, in the MC world, even if Mandrill and Zhongli hide it well, the details of their relationship can still reveal Mandrill's embarrassment and respect.
Who else but the Rock King could be treated like this by Mandrill?
But Hutao didn't care about Zhongli's identity.
To her, it didn't matter whether it was Morax or guest Qing Zhongli.
The only thing Hu Tao cared about was Shengshengtang, and until now, there was Jiang Xuan.
Since it was Emperor Yanwang chatting with someone, Hutao didn't want to know what Zhongli was planning.
"Why don't you go and tell me!"
After thinking for a while, Hu Tao stared at Jiang Xuan angrily.
The latter shook his head helplessly.
"You were taking a shower at the time. Could it be that I rushed in and told you that I wanted to go out?"
In the darkness, Hu Tao's face turned red, and after a while he muttered in a low voice:
"What does it matter...? You are my hall master's man, you can't see what I have!"
"But I'm afraid that after seeing it, I won't be able to bear it anymore and won't go out to see that interesting scene."
Jiang Xuan joked, and with a hook, the buttons of his pajamas fell apart.
Hutao glanced at it and said unhappily:
"You're really skilled..."
Jiang Xuan rubbed Hu Tao's face and said:
"Do you want to continue? It's a little late, or should I just rest with you?"
"no!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hutao immediately sat up straight and started to deal with the pajamas without needing Jiang Xuan.
"As promised, today is the day! I finally caught Gan Yu when he was too busy to find you!"
"After today, I'll wait for another chance and wonder when I will get it!"
"This hall master is still anxious to train our children to inherit the Rebirth Hall!"
Jiang Xuan was quite helpless, but seeing Hu Tao's clumsiness, he didn't hold back and stretched out his hand to pull Hu Tao into his arms.
In the darkness, Hutao hugged Jiang Xuan tightly. After the initial pain, he finally headed towards the Hall of Rebirth.
Northland Bank, second floor.
Dadalia waited boredly in the conference room.
I don't know how long it took before the wooden door was pushed open.
Rosalin walked in with a pale face, and she could tell she was hurt at first glance.
Sitting on the chair, he took out the recovery potion and drank it.
Dadalia sat up straight with interest and said with a little joking:
"Tsk, you are really stubborn. I told you not to go but you insist on going. What a bad luck, madam."
"Ha! It's still a divine injury. Congratulations. It's a great honor to be taken care of by the Rock King."
Alchemy potions also have a strong ability to recover from the damage caused by Rock-Eating Punishment.
Within a moment, Rosalind was as good as before.
Of course, she felt that Zhongli was showing mercy.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to withstand the punishment of eating rocks.
The so-called rock-eating punishment actually depends entirely on the degree of violation of the contract.
Letting Wendy eat a rock is a rock-eating punishment, and letting Rosaleen be severely injured by divine power is also a rock-eating punishment.
When the merchants who violated the business contract were executed, a rock-eating rock was thrown away.
To be honest, Rosalin was very glad that Zhong Li didn't let the world move.
After adjusting herself, and looking at Dadalia who was full of ridicule, Rosalin said calmly:
"I met Morax, and the Jiang Xuan you mentioned."
Dadalia immediately calmed down her expression, sat up straight, frowned slightly and looked at Rosalind.
"How is the strength?"
Rosalin's face turned dark and she said coldly:
"Is this the only thing you can ask?"
"Please!"
Dadalia spread his hands and said innocently:
"I am a fighting maniac, why should I ask questions other than my strength! I can't understand the twists and turns you make!"
Rosalin suppressed her anger and said in a deep voice:
"If you are talking about Morax...that is irresistibly powerful."
"I released the Queen's divine power and lured him out. He gave me the punishment of eating rocks. At that moment, the feedback my power gave me was..."
"Don't make any resistance. Facing him, any resistance is in vain. He is much stronger than the Queen."
Dadalia was not surprised by this.
Having read many Liyue classics and stories, he naturally knew the fate of Emperor Yanwang.
"As expected of the God of War..."
Dadalia shook his head and said:
"Where is Jiang Xuan?"
Hearing this, Rosalin also frowned, pondered for a moment, shook her head and said:
"I can't tell...he doesn't have any elemental force reaction on him."
"It looks ordinary. He seems to be just an ordinary person on the roadside."
Dadalia raised an eyebrow and chuckled:
"Ordinary people?"
"It's just my power feedback that's like this, but my intuition tells me that this person is more dangerous than the laws of nature.
Rosalind shook her head.
She really didn't know how to deal with Jiang Xuan, who seemed to have no strength...
But the more this happened, the more uneasy Rosalin felt when thinking of Jiang Xuan.
"If it is really as we imagined, then his power may indeed far exceed that of gods."
Dadalia mentioned it leisurely, but didn't want to dwell too much on it.
Neither Yan Wang Dijun nor Jiang Xuan was anyone he could initiate a battle invitation to.
The former cannot be defeated at all, the latter...
Based on how much Liyue attaches importance to Jiang Xuan.
I'm afraid that if he went to see Jiang Xuan with this kind of mentality, he would be suppressed by the immortals before he finished speaking.
Dadalia suppressed her thoughts and continued:
"Anything else?"
Rosalind glanced at him.
"Concerning the plan to liberate Auxerre, continue to advance."
Dadalia couldn't hold it back and crushed the corner of the table.
Looking at Rosalind in disbelief.
"Do you want to continue? With Liyue's current strength, the final reckoning will drag us into the sea!"
"This is what Morax means. He will vouch for us afterwards."
Rosalin explained vaguely, and Dadalia pondered for a moment before replying:
"In that case... I'll let the factory move forward, but you have to make sure he explains everything."
Rosalin didn't say much, just glanced at Dadalia lightly.
"Morax is the god of contracts."
In one sentence, all Dadalia's worries were put to rest.
Since these words were spoken by Morax himself, there is no need to fear that the other party will not believe what he said.
Any god can do something that is not true to his word, but not Morax.
He is the God of Contracts, and he needs to ensure that everything he says and does is sound.
"Do you have any other questions?"
Dadalia didn't dwell on this question anymore and asked casually.
Rosalin was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
"I mentioned it to him and asked Liyue to cooperate with us."
Dadalia became interested and stared at Rosalin closely.
"He refused?"
"There is no rejection and no consent."
.....What do you mean, can you stop saying it so vaguely?"
Dadalia hated this kind of Riddler the most.
Rosalyn sighed.
"My weight is not 2.8. If I want to cooperate with the other party, at least the Queen must come in person."
"Furthermore...Morax clearly expressed his dislike for the Fools, coupled with the alliance between Mondstadt and Liyue."
"It is impossible for the fools to cooperate with Liyue."
Hearing this, Dadalia suddenly lost interest and yawned in disinterest.
"In that case, forget it."
Rosalin shook her head and said softly:
"You also understand the internal situation of the Fools. Strictly speaking, the opponents are hostile to certain specific executives.
"PhD!"
Dadalia decisively named the doctor, and when Rosalin nodded in confirmation, Dadalia curled her lips.
"I just said, that piece of shit is useless if you keep it. Who knows what he is thinking."
"In Liyue's words, it's like a mouse droppings ruined a pot of soup!"
Rosalin did not object to Dadalia's vulgar description.
She doesn't like the kind of executive who doesn't firmly support the Ice God and has his own agenda.
Fortunately, Dadalia is a firm supporter of the Ice God.
Rosalind also didn't mind revealing some of her speculations.
"Just because the Fools can't cooperate with Liyue doesn't mean that Zhidong can't cooperate with Liyue.
This time, Dadalia became interested. She sat up straight and said nothing, waiting for Rosalin's next words. .
