Let’s not talk about the Winter Executive Officer who has arrived at Liyue Port.
Ye Lan, who was originally monitoring in disguise at the dock, received news from a secret source. Due to the exposure of intelligence personnel, [War Lord] Harpas has arrived at the stronghold of the Yanshang Teahouse. The motive is currently unknown.
"Wenyuan, didn't I tell you a long time ago not to provoke that Excellency?"
Ye Lan, who had returned to Bai Zan Fei Lian, frowned slightly and quickly returned to the Yanshang Teahouse, questioning the intelligence officer wearing a navy hood as he walked.
"Lord Yelan, I, I didn't provoke him..."
Wen Yuan's face was full of tears. He was originally good at lobbying to obtain information. At this time, he stammered and explained to Ye Lan:
"According to your instructions, I went to Qingce Village this morning to investigate the whereabouts of the missing Tianshu Star, and then returned to the Yanshang Teahouse to sort out the information."
"After compiling the information, I just stretched my waist and glanced at the Yujing Platform. Who knew I would accidentally..."
Wen Yuan briefly explained why he and Famas met each other's eyes, and such a bizarre coincidence made Ye Lan couldn't help but hold her forehead and sigh.
The work of the Liyue General Affairs Department is open and transparent. From the senior officials of Yujingtai to the grassroots employees of eight departments, basic information is left in the government affairs directory.
The only exception is Ye Lan, who claims to work here. Most of her colleagues have never heard of her name, and there is no such person in the directory.
This is quite consistent with Ye Lan's own style, which is elusive and unpredictable.
She is like a ghost, often appearing at the center of various events with different appearances, and disappearing without a trace before the storm subsides.
Occasionally, one force will receive her assistance, but just when they are complacent, the same assistance will soon appear to another party.
People who have suffered losses are all gnashing their teeth about this, but even so, no one can always see through her intentions, let alone her position.
Some people believe that Ye Lan is a spy serving a mysterious force and is good at fueling the flames and profiting from it.
Some people even insist that she is just a fanatical disorderer with no organization and no decent purpose. Even if she does have one, it just muddies the water, burns the fire more fiercely, and drags everyone into it.
It’s just the crazy world she created.
Amid the divergent opinions, everything about Ye Lan has become a mystery. What is the truth may only be answered by her herself.
But it's a pity that this is also not an easy task. Before Ye Lan is happy to see someone, the other party will never be able to find her.
But obviously, notorious demons like Famas are not among them. Even after Famas appeared in the Yanshang Teahouse, Ye Lan had to temporarily give up tracking the surveillance of Solstice Executive Officer [Pantarone] and turn to
And return to the Iwagami Tea House to deal with this demon who represents war.
At this time, in the main hall on the first floor of the Iwakami Teahouse, Famas was politely invited by the waiter of the teahouse to sit down in the private room on the second floor.
Through the windows on the second floor, you can see that the main hall of Yanshang Teahouse is quite spacious, and it is not as elegant as the traditional Liyue Teahouse.
Although there are many precious Liyue porcelain and screens here, there is a huge Fontaine lamp hanging on the ceiling, and the person standing on the hall is not a storyteller, but a singer singing exotic tunes. The ethereal singing voice of the singer, the chatter and laughter of the guests, and the clatter of chips on the card table echoed in Famas's ears at the same time. Although it was a bit noisy, it was still a good entertainment place.
Just through the splendid appearance, Famas also discovered that there were some suspicious wooden boxes stacked in the corner of the teahouse room, vaguely revealing large bundles of hemp rope and coarse cloth soaked in tung oil, as well as an ax saw that had worn away the characteristics of the place of origin.
The swords and armor exude the smell of alchemical potions.
If you don’t have enough strength, you obviously can’t open a casino so blatantly in Liyue.
"Guest, this is the best tea in our tea room, please evaluate it."
The waitress respectfully brought the tea cup and cakes and placed them in front of Famas, and then ordered tea for him with a skillful movement and introduced: "The tea soup can be divided into light, clear and heavy turbid.
, rising over the lamp, condensing around without moving... it is called the best."
Most of the people who come to this teahouse to drink tea and play dice are idle people who want to pass the time. If the dock workers have nothing to do, they will come here to have a few small bets. There are no serious tea drinkers like Famas.
After all, the tea girl naturally showed her special skills.
But what she didn't know was that even if Famas searched all over his body, he couldn't get out half a mora, so of course he couldn't exchange it for gaming chips.
"Thank you, this tea is really good."
Although he didn't understand the Liyue tea ceremony, Famas remained calm, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then made an ambiguous comment.
"Really? Would you like to try our specially made new tea with dew?"
The reply to Famas was not from the tea girl, but from a slightly cold female voice.
At the same time, the side door of the tea room was also pushed open.
Appearing at the edge of the hall was a woman wearing a wide-sleeved cloak. She glanced at Famas holding a teacup with her peripheral vision. The decoration on her ears moved slightly with her movements, emitting a faint blue light. p>
The woman's emerald green pupils are covered by eyelids with long eyelashes, light purple eye shadow quietly appears, coupled with neat shoulder-length short hair, and a mole on her chest that is trying to resist but welcome, her identity is self-evident.<
/p>
Wherever the stars are thought of, there are tourists wandering around.
"Since it is Miss Yelan's special tea, I will naturally not refuse it."
Famas raised his head and drank all the tea in the cup. He was not surprised at all by Yelan's appearance, and there seemed to be some expectation in his eyes.
But Ye Lan just waved away the tea girl, pushed aside the debris on the table, took two empty tea cups and put them in front of the two of them.
"It is my honor to invite His Majesty Harpas to tea."
"I'm really sorry, this is a new stronghold of mine. I haven't had time to clean it up since I took it over, so the conditions are a bit rough."
As a special intelligence officer directly affiliated with Tianquan Star Ningguang, Ye Lan naturally knows the strength of Famas, and also understands that enemies with strong self-control will not take the bait, and cunning enemies will not fall into the conspiracy, but the terrifying strength
enemies will not be trapped in traps.
When talking to an old demon like Famas, it’s better not to use too many tricks and empty words.
Yelan moved elegantly and took out a rather luxurious teapot inlaid with gold and jade from the cupboard behind the tea room screen. Then she took out a small velvet bag from her arms, with the mouth of the bag facing down, and put some powder that smelled like chili powder.
Pour it into the teapot, then grab a handful of Qiaoyingzhuang's famous new tea with dew, and put it symbolically into the teapot.
Two kinds of ingredients that are hard to beat are brewed with hot water, and a pot of fresh tea is ready.
"Please use it."
Yelan lowered her head slightly, and the short hair beside her ears drooped slightly, revealing her graceful and slender neck.
She poured a full cup for Famas very politely, and then to avoid suspicion, she picked up the tea cup and took a big sip first.
As if she finally tasted a familiar taste, Ye Lan's expression relaxed a little, and in the steaming heat, her face showed a slightly seductive color due to the spicy taste of the tea soup.
As Famas looked at the cup of red tea soup in front of him, the expectation on his face had completely disappeared.
The young man raised his hand discreetly, quietly pushed the tea cup away, and then looked at Ye Lan with confusion as he took a big sip of the tea soup.
How can this be called tea? It’s obviously the chili pepper water used in torture to extract confessions!?
