Chapter 79: Finally Home (Requesting First Order, 410)

"By the way, when I fought him, he used the remaining power of the demon god."

Wang Hao remembered the power used by the middle-aged man before, and told Pan Lie without hiding it.

Hearing this, a trace of absurdity appeared on Pan Lie's resolute face: "The remaining power of the demon god? They really found..."

Wang Hao immediately shook his head: "No, the power he used is more fire elemental, it can't be the power of the Salt Demon."

Wang Hao guessed that it might be an organization that gave this guy the power.

He had seen the Fatui lieutenant use that scarlet flame at the Impossible Hill.

However, the barrage at that time told him that the Fatui used a power called the [Evil Eye].

But Wang Hao sensed that the scarlet flame used by Yan Li and the flame used by the Fatui lieutenant were very similar in nature.

It is very likely that they came from the same demon.

However, the Fatui used technology to transform the remaining power of the Demon into the Evil Eye, reducing the cost of directly using the Demon's legacy.

The person in charge, Yan Li, directly used the power of this demon god, so the price was extremely high.

When he first appeared in front of Wang Hao, he looked thin and unhealthy, and it is very likely that he had been eroded by the power of the devil at that time.

"Hmph, it's probably those bugs again. Never mind, just leave it to the General Affairs Department." Pan Lie snorted coldly, obviously thinking of something.

After a pause, he looked at Wang Hao again: "Are you going back by yourself, or are you going back to Liyue Harbor with my people?"

After this campaign of suppression, Pan Lie would definitely need to send someone back to Liyue Harbor to report.

After all, the deployment of thousands of Qianyan Army units must be reported.

Moreover, the gains from the annihilation of the radical faction of the Yinyuan Society also need to be reported to Qixing.

Wang Hao thought for a moment: "Where is Shi Jie?"

He did not answer directly, but thought of Shi Jie.

Pan Lie: "Those are from the General Affairs Department. They have their own lines of action and are not under my jurisdiction."

What this means is that he doesn’t know Shi Jie’s whereabouts, and the General Affairs Department will not disclose it to the public.

Wang Hao could only nod his head when he heard this: "Then let's take advantage of the Qianyan Army's carriages."

"Okay, you take a rest first, I'll go out and continue catching people." Pan Lie waved his hand, turned and left.

……

After clearing out the remaining enemies in Mingyun Town, Wang Hao and the Qianyan Army returned to Guili’s original camp.

I originally thought that I could ride on the Thousand Rock Army's carriage back to Liyue Harbor, but unexpectedly, Pan Lie had no intention of doing so at all.

After a night's rest, Pan Lie immediately prepared a team, sent an adjutant, and set off for Liyue Harbor at full speed.

As for Wang Hao, he didn't have a carriage, but he did have two horses.

Yes, Wang Hao was completely used by Pan Lie as a bodyguard to escort the adjutant of Qianyan Army.

One person rides two horses at full speed, and can change horses at the Qianyan Army’s base along the way.

The journey of several hundred miles was completed in just three days by riding at full speed day and night.

Liyue Port,
Wang Hao, who had been away from his hometown for a long time, looked at the Liyue Gate standing behind the bridge, feeling deeply moved.

I think the last time I saw this place was last time.

"Wang Hao, I have to report to the Qianyan Army headquarters. We'll be apart now. We'll have a drink together next time."

Pan Lie's adjutant looked exhausted, but he still forced himself to stay alert. He said goodbye to Wang Hao and hurriedly led his men in another direction.
Wang Hao stood at the gate of Liyue Harbor, feeling a little confused for a moment.

It took him a while to react.

"I'll go find Sister Ningguang first, then go see the headmaster and everyone else. I'll visit the academy tomorrow, and when I'm free, I'll go find Keqing and Xingqiu."

Wang Hao was planning his next trip when he suddenly felt a gaze following him.

He raised his head warily and saw a middle-aged man smiling at him not far from the Liyue gate.

"Uncle Zhang?"

"Young sir, Lord Tianquan has kept me waiting here for a long time." Uncle Zhang, that is, Old Zhang, Ningguang's groom, who has picked up and dropped off Wang Hao many times before.

"Sister Ningguang knows that I'm coming back?" Wang Hao raised his eyebrows.

Old Zhang smiled and said, "Lord Tianquan said that he should be back in the next few days."

There is no fixed time, but it makes the friendship more precious.

Wang Hao smiled: "Thank you for your help, Uncle Zhang."

Old Zhang waved his hand and said, "I am paid by the master and work for him. There is no problem at all."

As he spoke, he lifted the curtain of the luxurious carriage behind him and said, "Young sir, please get in the carriage quickly. Lord Tianquan said that he will send you back to reunite with the old lady first. After a day's rest, it won't be too late to see her later."

Wang Hao's face showed an even more touched expression.

[Okay, okay, you are good at winning people's hearts, right? 】

[Although I know that this is a way to win people’s hearts, I can’t help but be moved. ]

[Ningguang really knows how to behave. 】

【She has learned all about the ways of the world.】

[When a wanderer returns, he first sends the person back to see his family, and then talks about official business. Who wouldn’t be moved? ]

[You treat me like a great man, and I will repay you like a great man. Our ancestors have already made it clear.]

【…】

Faced with Ningguang's arrangement, the barrage of comments also expressed praise.

Everyone knows what Ningguang is thinking, it's nothing more than winning people's hearts.

But what if I see through it? Does that mean I can just ignore this kindness?
No, as long as you are a smart person, you will trust Ningguang more.

She never hides anything in her actions. She tells you openly that she is trying to win you over.

After getting on the carriage, Wang Hao closed his eyes and stopped talking, nor did he participate in the discussion in the barrage.

He is grateful and trusts Ningguang.

Therefore, he accepted all the benefits that Ningguang gave him, and similarly, he would do his best to complete the tasks that Ningguang gave him.

The carriage was running on the stone brick floor of Feiyunpo, and the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground was crisp.

Yes, the orphanage has been relocated.
After Wang Hao left Liyue Harbor to practice martial arts,

Ningguang promoted the reform of Liyue's new laws.

Among them are arrangements for the protection of the lonely and widowed people in Liyue.

Under the promotion of Ningguang and some chambers of commerce that supported her, the General Affairs Department renovated the slums in Liyue Harbor, where Wang Hao once lived.

Some dilapidated buildings were demolished, an orphanage was built, and the orphanage outside Liyue Harbor was also relocated here.

Of course, those whose dilapidated houses were expropriated also received new arrangements, and the new houses they were allocated were definitely better than the previous dilapidated houses.

The carriage soon arrived at the location of the poorhouse.

Wang Hao got off the carriage. This was not his first time coming here. He had been back before during the Lantern Festival.

After saying goodbye to the groom Lao Zhang, Wang Hao walked into the orphanage with ease.

This place is much bigger than the original orphanage.
Of course, the number of people receiving assistance increased, and some elderly widows and widowers were also helped.

However, the old man looked more harmonious when looking at the child.

Under Ningguang's arrangement, a new support system has been formed here.

The elderly will take care of the children as they grow up, and these orphans also feel the love of family from the elderly.

I raised you when you were young, and you raised me when I was old.

This is an unspoken contract and also a heritage of civilization.
