His slender knuckles tapped the tabletop rhythmically. When the time was right, Yang Xingshu picked up the kettle of boiling water on the small stove. He first poured tea for Ning Qingxuan sitting opposite him, then poured a cup for the empty seat next to him, and finally poured tea for himself.
"Miss Ying, the tea is ready."
Putting down the kettle, Yang Xingshu looked up at the general who was leaning on the railing and looking into the distance not far away.
Even so, he always had a curved brow and squinted his eyes, making it impossible for people to see his eyes.
The general looked back and with a wave of his hand, the teacup on the table flew up into the air and landed in her hands.
This incredible scene made Yang Xingshu slightly stunned, then he laughed out loud and said to Ning Qingxuan: "Your Highness, how have I neglected Miss Ying?"
"Just stop looking at people with that scrutinizing gaze of yours."
Ning Qingxuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and lowered her eyes slightly.
With the five senses shared, how could Yang Xingshu's gaze, which had been constantly scrutinizing the general from the very beginning, escape Ning Qingxuan's perception?
What's more, the general himself is not an ordinary person.
He looked at Yang Xingshu, whose expression remained unchanged, with a half-smile. This guy must have heard the news that he had left the palace and came to block him. Of course, Yang Xingshu must have known that he could guess this.
Then his purpose is very simple.
As the prince's companion and the strategic figure in Ning Qingxuan's team, Yang Xingshu could not have been unaware of the general's affairs. Ning Qingxuan also knew that she would definitely run into him when she left the palace this time.
"Your Highness knows my habits. If I have made Miss Ying unhappy, please ask Your Highness to avenge me on my behalf."
"You are so brave to let me help you."
"Isn't this your Highness's trusted minister?"
Yang Xingshu's tone was calm and steady, like a spring breeze. It was hard to imagine that such a person would smile and use all kinds of strategies to destroy more than 100,000 enemy troops at one time - without a single survivor.
"Yihong (Yang Xingshu's pen name), do you think Yuri could still be hiding somewhere in this world?"
"It doesn't matter whether you are here or not, Your Highness." Yang Xingshu poured tea for Ning Qingxuan again.
His hands are very beautiful, with long, slender fingers and distinct joints. One can tell at a glance that they are a pair of deft hands that are good at playing the piano.
"Your Highness, you should be more concerned about Yuri..."
Although it was not stated explicitly, the long-standing tacit understanding between Ning Qingxuan and Yang Xingshu made him understand what the other party meant.
General.
In other words, the different world called Teyvat.
"Your Highness's feat of bidding farewell to the emperor in Chang'an, leading a million troops north and returning victorious is destined to go down in history. But this achievement belongs to Your Highness, but also to His Majesty."
"Your Highness needs a unique achievement that belongs entirely to you. Originally, according to what I had imagined, this achievement might be to defeat the Allied Forces many years later, or -"
Yang Xingshu pointed above his head.
What he was referring to were the lunar and Martian exploration projects, and even landing on the moon and Mars.
"But now, I see greater possibilities."
Explore foreign lands.
What could be a better proof of achievement than this?
"You have great ambitions." Ning Qingxuan curled her lips and sneered, "The shadow is still there."
At the same time, the general turned around and stared at Yang Xingshu.
The tremendous pressure made Yang Xingshu suddenly feel uncomfortable breathing, but he remained calm.
"Since Your Highness is willing to allow me to have contact with Miss Ying, I dare to say this. Besides..."
Another world, and it is a different world with gods and demons.
Yang Xingshu admitted that he couldn't sleep all night after learning about this.
He was an ambitious man, and his ambition was very great, but this ambition did not make him set his sights on the supreme position, but rather elsewhere.
Ning Qingxuan remembered what Ning Junkang had once said to her.
——If Yang Xingshu can use it, it will be beneficial to the country.
If it cannot be used, it must be killed.
Yang Xingshu was a smart man. He knew very well that he must have been on the radar of the royal father and son, but he was fearless. He was even very frank and showed the fire burning in his heart that could burn everything in the world to the emperor and the prince.
Because he knew very well that only this father and son could help him satisfy his desires.
…dividing line…
An extremely dangerous human being.
Through the general's perspective, Ying stared at Yang Xingshu, who looked like a handsome young man in troubled times.
This is a beautiful man, but he is also more terrifying than the sharpest knife.
Ying couldn't believe that a mortal could make her wary and alert - if the other person stood in front of her, she would only need to wave her knife to make him disappear completely.
After the general (Ning Qingxuan) woke up this morning and allowed Ying to successfully connect with her senses, Ying admitted that she was greatly shocked as Ning Qingxuan and the general took the little princess out of the palace.
Relying on the general, Ying witnessed the prosperity and splendor of Chang'an City with his own eyes.
Back when my sister Lei Dianzhen was still alive, even when she managed Inazuma City to its most prosperous stage, it still seemed like a remote and poor place compared to Chang'an we see today.
As he watched and listened to the conversations between the people around him, Ying gradually understood what the current situation was.
The general seemed to be not in Teyvat, but in a completely strange world, a completely strange country called the "Shenzhou Empire" which was somewhat similar to Liyue.
This is a country established and managed entirely by humans. They do not have a god to rule them, but they have created a civilization far superior to Inazuma.
Ying shuddered suddenly, and she thought of the godless country, Kanreya, where she once ran at full speed.
Reason told her that the Shenzhou Empire was quite dangerous, but curiosity made Ying unable to control her desire to get to know her better.
Gradually, even without realizing it, Lian Ying had become somewhat addicted to the prosperity of this country.
Until Yang Xingshu appeared.
"Another human running forward at full speed...?"
Biting her lips lightly with her pearly teeth, Ying took a sip of the milk tea that Kujo Sara had brought to her not long ago, and then frowned.
The taste is not satisfying.
"This guy seems to want to find a way to Teyvat. Can humans really do it?"
"No, the general is still there, and the general must want to come back. If he can help, the possibility is not zero."
He narrowed his eyes, and a flash of lightning appeared in the depths of his gorgeous purple eyes.
If this human dares to cause trouble in Inazuma after arriving in Teyvat, she will definitely kill him with her sword at the first opportunity.
"Really? What on earth is the general doing? Can't we just kill him with one blow?"
"No, I have to find a way to pass the message to the general."
Ying took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Divine power surged around him and lightning became brighter.
Yes, she is indeed a otaku girl who has been staying at home for hundreds of years, but she is also a technical otaku who can make a general doll.
Don't underestimate her!
