Chapter 148 The Blond Boy (1400 monthly tickets plus more)

Midnight,

In the tent provided by the Qianyan Army,
Wang Hao and Keqing sat opposite each other.

"How are you doing in Mondstadt?" Keqing asked softly.

Wang Hao did not hesitate and also whispered to Keqing what happened in Mondstadt.

Dinner at the Château de Chine,
Klee's gift at the Knights' Banquet.
The Lawrence family tried to win over,

and the frequent visits he received from Mond Wines recently.

Wang Hao seemed to have turned into a gossipy woman, telling Keqing everything in detail.
Keqing also listened quietly, without any sign of impatience at all.

Especially when she heard that Klee, a little loli, actually liked to play with bombs, she also showed an incredible expression.

He also said that such preschool education might be just right in Mondstadt, but it is still too advanced in Liyue.

Talking,

The two of them went from sitting opposite each other to sitting on the same side.

Getting closer and closer.

And Wang Hao also smelled the unique fragrance of Keqing at the tip of his nose.

It’s very profound, smells very good, and is very... nostalgic.

The story in his mouth suddenly stopped.
Slightly turning sideways, he looked down at Keqing.
There was a hint of admiration and attachment in the other person's eyes.

I didn’t think much about it…

Bow down,

Kiss gently.

"Woo..."

Struggle gently, then cooperate.

Barrage? It's been turned off for a long time.

……

the next day,
At the opening ceremony of the wine industry exchange ceremony,

Xingqiu looked at Wang Hao and Keqing hesitantly, feeling that something was wrong with these two people, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

In Wang Hao's eyes, the barrage of comments was refreshing like a waterfall, with a large number of asterisks interspersed among the words.

In short, the curse was very dirty.

However, Wang Hao just thought that these comments were just jealousy and ignored them completely.

on the main stage,

The host was still speaking: "Next, please allow the promoter of this conference, Liyue Ambassador to Mondstadt, His Excellency Wang Hao, to give a speech."

Wang Hao stood up and walked onto the stage.

"Dear guests and friends, I am Wang Hao, Liyue's ambassador to Mondstadt.

I am very happy to witness the opening of this wine industry exchange meeting with you all on this passionate and enthusiastic night.

First of all, on behalf of the organizers, Mondstadt Wine Association and Liyue Feiyun Chamber of Commerce, I would like to express my warmest welcome and most sincere thanks to all the guests!
At the same time, I would like to thank all the guests for their support and attention over the past year.

Of course, we would also like to thank Shimen Qianyan Army for providing venue support for this exchange meeting.

As the organizer, we have been committed to promoting the innovation and development of Mondstadt and Liyue wine industry.
We hope that through this platform, more people will understand and appreciate the wines and stories of both parties.

In the next three days of the exchange meeting, we have prepared a series of wonderful programs and activities for everyone, including tasting sessions, seminars, cultural exhibitions, etc. I believe it will be a feast for the eyes for everyone.

At the same time, we also hope that this exchange meeting can become a platform for communication and cooperation. To be honest, the embassy has also purchased a batch of fine wines, which will be given away as gifts in the future.

Here, we can share our respective insights and experiences, explore future development directions, and jointly promote the prosperity of the wine industry in various countries.

Finally, I wish this exchange meeting a complete success, and I also hope that everyone can find their own happiness and gains in the exchange meeting tonight. Thank you all! "

There was no speech script. In this kind of situation, Wang Hao just spoke without any preparation.

After a brief and powerful speech, Wang Hao bowed slightly and the audience burst into applause.

Those who can come here are either wine merchants, but people who like to drink. Naturally, they will show the utmost goodwill to Wang Hao, the promoter.

After Wang Hao stepped down, the next to come on stage were President Eze (steward) of the Mondstadt Wine Association and Xingqiu of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce. Finally, Keqing, as the supervisor of this meeting, announced the official start of the conference.

There will be continuous performances on the main stage, mostly stories and poems about wine making.

A large number of peddlers spread out throughout the main venue and began to select the fine wines they wanted.

As long as your wine is good enough, there will be no shortage of orders here.

You can imagine that three days later, when the conference is over, a terrifying number of orders will be placed here.

This is a win-win situation.

……

at the same time,

A blond boy strolled in the main venue.
Behind him were several attendants in robes. Their clothes looked very retro, like people from some remote civilization.

“What a lively scene.”

The blond boy sighed softly,
He stared at the bustling main venue, with an inexplicable light in his eyes.

"If the land of our homeland had not suffered such hardships, then our people would also be so peaceful and happy."

There was a hint of sadness in the boy's tone.

But if you listen carefully, there seems to be a hint of coldness.

"Your Highness, under your leadership, we will surely restore our former glory."

A servant behind the blond boy spoke, his words full of admiration for this young man, oh, His Royal Highness the Prince.

"Oh, yes, we will definitely be able to regain our former glory. The glory of Kanreya will surely rise again."

His Royal Highness the Prince spoke softly, his tone sounding like a chant.

"But before that, Dainsleb, the traitor who is standing in our way, have you found him?"

"We found him in the wilderness of Liyue, but he escaped. Your Highness, his leyline skills are no worse than ours," the attendant said with his head lowered.

"…Heh, Singer, don't blame yourself. That's Dainsleb, not some small fry. It's not shameful to let him escape. But remember, don't make the same mistake again."

His Royal Highness the Prince did not seem to blame his servant. On the contrary, he comforted him.

But the servant lowered his head even lower.

I don't know whether it's fear or shame.

His Royal Highness the Prince ignored him and continued walking forward. Suddenly, he stopped in front of a booth.

He looked at the bottles on display at the booth.

"This wine bottle looks quite old, boss."

When someone asked, even if the question was not about wine, the owner of the booth replied with a smile: "Haha, I collected this when I was a traveling merchant in the Xumi Desert. I heard it is an antique from an ancient civilization. I don't understand it, but it's just right for making wine bottles."

The blond boy who was called His Royal Highness smiled and nodded. "Boss, you have a good eye. This is a wine bottle used by the court of Kanreya. It is several hundred years old and worth a lot of money."

"Ah, is it so valuable?" The boss was surprised, then he picked up the bottle and handed it to the blond boy, "Since it is so valuable, why don't you just buy it? I spent 500 Mora to get this thing from the Gilded Brigade. If you like it, you can also take it away for 500 Mora."

His Royal Highness looked at the other party in surprise: "You don't make money anymore?"

"Haha, look at what you said. I am from Xumi. For us, knowledge is the most valuable wealth. The knowledge you told me that I don't know is the greatest wealth."

The boss from Xumi looked very happy.

Being able to gain a nice piece of odd knowledge is higher than Mora for him.

This is a very orthodox Xumi person.

Smiling, the blond boy took the bottle: "Then I will accept this kindness."

After a pause, he continued, "May the wisdom of the Great Compassionate Tree King always be with you."

His eyes were extremely clear as he gave his blessing.

The Great Compassionate Tree King is the only god who did not descend to Kanreya but was implicated by Kanreya.

Even though he was not friendly to the Seven Gods, he would still maintain a tiny respect for that god.

"Haha, may you be able to hear the wise voice of God." The boss also responded with a blessing.

It’s just that the expression of the boy who was being blessed looked a little strange.

Shaking his head, a smile on his face, the blond boy turned to the servant and said, "Give me the money."

The servant known as the Chanter immediately took out a Mora bag and handed it to the boss.

The boy glanced at it and said, "Change it."

The singer paused for a moment, then put away the Mora bag in his hand, took out another Mora bag and handed it to the boss.

The boss didn't know why he had to change it, but he still took the Mora bag with a smile.

"Haha, thank you for your patronage, thank you for your patronage."

"No need to thank me. I should be the one thanking you for letting me see the things of my homeland again."

The blond boy shook his head.

The boss was stunned. What do you mean by things from the homeland?

Just as I was about to ask curiously, I saw the blond boy walking away with his servants.

I wanted to catch up and ask, but then I looked at my own booth and finally didn't take any action.

the other side,
After leaving the booth,
The blond prince threw the bottle in his hand to the attendant behind him: "The wind here is very cheerful. Don't show the power of the abyss here, even if it's just... a few Mora."

The boss' blessing to His Royal Highness just now was more like a curse to them.
Therefore, the Mora in the first Mora bag was cursed in some way.

If the boss took it over, he would probably die soon.

"Yes, Your Highness."

The attendant bowed his head in response.

The group continued to stroll.
Suddenly, there was a noise from the opposite side.

"Your Excellency Ambassador, come and try my wine. It is absolutely delicious."

"My house is not bad either, you can try it." "Master Yuheng, are you and the Ambassador here for an inspection?"

"Master Yuheng, if the order is completed, do we need to report to the organizer?"

A group of people dressed as businessmen surrounded the two people, shouting with red faces.

The blond prince looked at it with interest. "Those two must be Liyue's Yuhengxing and... the ambassador to Mondstadt, right?"

The attendant nodded: "Yes, Your Highness."

"Well, will that ambassador have any impact on our plans in Mond?" inquired the blond prince.

The attendant shook his head. "According to intelligence, this ambassador is mostly promoting civil affairs between the two sides and rarely interferes in Mondstadt's official affairs. He is different from the Fatui."

"The Fatui... ah, the bugs that covet the power of the abyss."

The blond prince snorted disdainfully, then continued, "You can pay more attention to this ambassador in the future. I can feel that he has a very powerful force in his body."

At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, "We can't always wait until trouble is over before we learn to understand him and prepare in advance, even if he may not necessarily become a problem for us."

The attendant nodded quickly: "Yes, Prince."

Here the blond prince is admonishing his men.
On the other side, Wang Hao and Keqing, surrounded by businessmen, could only keep answering everyone's questions.

And he kept refusing the bottles of wine that were brought to him.

Just kidding, whoever of them takes a sip of the wine here will be a complete advertisement.

These people may be well-intentioned, but they are definitely suspected of being advertising piggybacks.

However, these merchants still had some sense and did not crowd together, at least keeping a certain distance.

Wang Hao and Keqing were also able to walk away from their stalls.

I finally managed to walk out from the crowd of businessmen.

Wang Hao glanced casually.
The barrage in his eyes exploded instantly.

【WC, yellow hair!】

[Oh my god, what happened? When did the yellow-haired guy come out?]

[This is Kong, right? Fuck, did I skip the plot? ]

[You can't jump here no matter how much you jump. ]

[Ahem, is it possible that the other party is not a traveler, but the Prince of the Abyss? ]

[Oh, it turned out to be the Prince of the Abyss. I thought it was the Prince of the Abyss. ]

【What nonsense literature. 】

[The Prince of the Abyss appears here. Does it mean that the plot is about to begin? 】

[I think it was the Abyss that attempted to pollute Tevarin and started the Dragon Plague.]

[Okay, I’m looking forward to it. I’m really looking forward to it.]

【…】

Yellow hair? Sora? Prince of the Abyss?
Wang Hao looked at the blond boy with his attendant not far away.
There was a look of scrutiny in his eyes.

Whether it is the yellow-haired man often mentioned in the barrage, or the so-called Prince of the Abyss.

Both represent that the other party's identity is extraordinary.

Perhaps he noticed Wang Hao's gaze,
Or maybe Ben was looking at Wang Hao,

Kong raised his head slightly and looked straight at Wang Hao, without bias.

The two of them suddenly crossed a distance of more than ten meters and looked at each other in the crowd.

Until Keqing tugged at Wang Hao's sleeve: "What's wrong with you?"

Wang Hao came back to his senses, his eyes staggered with the other party, and he looked at Keqing beside him again: "Nothing, I saw an... interesting guy."

Keqing frowned slightly and looked in the direction Wang Hao had just looked, but there seemed to be nothing worth noting.

Wang Hao also glanced over and found that the blond boy had disappeared.

"No one is here?" Keqing was a little confused.
She didn't think those ordinary tourists or businessmen were worth Wang Hao's long attention.

"Maybe I saw it wrong." Wang Hao smiled and changed the subject, "By the way, I just saw some fermented rice on the other side. Let's go over there and try it."

Keqing saw that Wang Hao was trying to change the subject, but she didn't expose him. She smiled and nodded, "Okay, but you have to pretend first, otherwise you'll be surrounded again."

Thinking of how he was surrounded just now, Wang Hao nodded with lingering fear.

Being surrounded by these businessmen, Wang Hao would rather face a hundred monsters.

At least the monsters can be dealt with by force.

These businessmen are so enthusiastic that they have lost their sense of distance.

The two chatted and laughed, and quickly left before the next wave of merchants gathered.

After Wang Hao walked away,

The blond prince came out from the booth on the other side with his attendant, the poet.

"His Royal Highness Prince?"

The attendant poet was a little puzzled, wondering why His Royal Highness the Prince had to hide in the booth.

"He knows me." Kong suddenly said.

The attendant poet didn't quite understand: "What?"

"He recognized me." Sora said with interest.
Originally just an inconspicuous ambassador, he is now very interested.

How could an ambassador of Liyue to Mondstadt know him?
Kong was very clear about his identity. Not to mention an ambassador, even if the Seven Stars of Liyue came, they might not be able to recognize him.

His homeland had been broken for too long, and he had not appeared on this continent for too long.

The only ones who could recognize him were those who were of the same antiquity.

But now an accident has happened.

The look in Wang Hao's eyes just now definitely showed that he recognized him.

Kong Tai understood that kind of scrutinizing look.

It was like seeing someone you knew but weren't familiar with.

"Add him to the focus of observation. If possible, make some contact with him." Sora instructed the attendant singer.

The attendant nodded immediately: "Yes, Your Highness."

Kong waved his hand, stopped paying attention to Wang Hao, and continued to wander around.

the other side,
Wang Hao and Keqing dressed up a little,
Mainly, I changed my clothes.

The clothes of the two of them, one of them was an ambassador and the other was Yuheng, had long been familiar to people.

Back at the main venue, the two finally strolled quietly.

Although there were crowds of people around, noisy calls and bargaining were heard everywhere,
There was something... peaceful between the two of them.
He just strolled slowly, completely ignoring the scene around him.

Oh, by the way, Wang Hao turned off the barrage, it ruined the atmosphere.

The midday sun was a bit dazzling, and it sprinkled on the wine, creating a little bit of brilliance.

Two figures walked slowly in the crowd, and inadvertently, they held hands.
The two walked lightly, as if they were isolated from the world around them.

suddenly,

Wang Hao stopped.

Keqing tilted her head, revealing a hint of confusion.

Wang Hao smiled and pointed to a place not far away: "We have arrived at the wine stall."

Having said that, he pulled Keqing and walked over there.

Being held by Wang Hao, Keqing's face turned slightly red, but she did not look embarrassed at all.

She is not a shy person.

On the contrary, she exerted a little force and grabbed Wang Hao's hand.

Wang Hao shouted, "Boss, two bowls of rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice."

"No, boss, one bowl is enough." Keqing changed her mind.

The stall owner was an old lady in her seventies, her face already showing traces of time. While the two were talking, she was preparing handmade ingredients to make delicious glutinous rice balls with fermented glutinous rice.

Hearing the call, the old lady glanced at the young couple and smiled as if she had experienced it: "Okay, wait a moment."

Soon, the steaming hot rice dumplings were served.

Likewise, there are two spoons.

Wang Hao took a look, stood up, and sat directly next to Keqing.

The two of them sat next to each other on a bench in the small stall, each holding a spoon in their hands and bringing the glutinous rice balls made with fermented rice to their mouths.

The steaming dumplings emit bursts of sweet fragrance, making people salivate.

Of course, what is sweeter than the dumplings is the action of two people feeding them to each other's mouths.

on the side,

The stall owner looked at them with a smile on her face.

Maybe he was thinking of the beautiful love he once had.

Wang Hao and Keqing ate very slowly, but the stall owner did not rush them. Instead, she led other customers to avoid the young couple.

It took the two of them more than half an hour to finish a bowl of rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice.

When Keqing regained her sanity,
Only then did he realize that most of his body was leaning on Wang Hao.

Noticing the smiling face of the stall owner, she quickly sat up straight, looking like a dignified young lady.

Wang Hao just found it interesting, but didn't continue teasing her.

He poured the remaining soup in the bowl into his mouth, making sure not to waste any food, and then said, "I heard the night view around here is pretty good, how about we go out for a walk tonight?"

Keqing rolled her eyes.
What do you want to shop for?
Stinky Wang Hao.

But in the end I didn't refuse.
