"Let's make a bet, Mr. Mayor."

On a tower of the military camp's command center, [Rooster] sat on a small stool, leisurely holding an exquisite teacup, tasting the tea brought by Yun Qing.

Yun Qing made this suggestion while holding a telescope and observing the soldiers standing on the playground below through the window.

"Oh? How do you say this?"

[Rooster] raised his eyes and looked at Yun Qing who had his back to him. At the same time, he sniffed the tea with his long nose. It must be said that this Buratino has quite a lot of good things.

This time, Yun Qing wanted to make an exception and annex [Madam's] old subordinates, and he also got his permission. This was because Yun Qing had done many things that were beneficial to Zhidong's military strength, so he gave Yun Qing this privilege.

Of course, this also has conditions. Only those who are willing to follow Yun Qing can be swallowed up by Yun Qing, and the rest must return to the circular system.

"I bet more than two-thirds of these people would want to come with me."

Yun Qing seemed to be fully confident, as if he had already discussed it with the soldiers.

"Where do you get your confidence from? You should know that you don't have a good reputation among them."

[Rooster] laughed and did not accept Yun Qing's bet directly. Instead, he first hit Yun Qing's confidence.

But what he said was right. A large number of Madam's subordinates believed that Madam's death in Inazuma was caused by the inaction of Yun Qing, who was also in Inazuma.

"I gave them seven days to discuss it themselves. These seven days are enough to change a lot."

Yun Qing smiled, but just told a riddle.

"Tell me, if you lose, what can you give me?"

[Rooster] didn't have any additional reaction, but just asked with interest about Yun Qing's sincerity, or bargaining chips.

"The next warship to be launched is called the 'Rooster Ship'. How about that?"

Naming a warship after yourself is pretty cool, isn't it?

[Rooster] had also seen Yun Qing's warships, and he had to praise them, saying that those two warships were truly unprecedented.

If he named a warship like that after his own code name, it would indeed bring him a lot of prestige in Zhidong, a country that values ​​martial arts and strength.

In other words, he was moved.

However, as a betting chip, this is obviously not the top-notch one. After all, at the current speed at which their warships are launched, it will be his turn to be named sooner or later.

"So, if I lose, what do you want to take from me?"

Puccini knew that Yun Qing was a person who liked to invent and collect things, and he just happened to have a lot of good things, such as exquisite chess sets, a sandbox model of the winter solstice, and a walking stick made of thousand-year-old ice given by Her Majesty the Queen.

He was very curious about what Yun Qing saw in him.

"The Ninth Company."

Yun Qing said this without any hesitation, which made [Rooster] understand.

The Ninth Company, [Rooster] had noticed that after Yun Qing came to Liyue from Xumi via the Layered Abyss, Sergeant Anton from the Ninth Company had contacted him.

For this purpose, he made a special investigation. Yun Qing had never erased the traces of his life in the Hearth House, so his relationship with Katarina and Nicholas could be easily found out.

Yun Qing’s desire to take over the Ninth Company must be related to them.

"By the way, this document was discussed by me, Piero, and Her Majesty the Queen. Just sign it if it's okay."

Yun Qing took out a document and interrupted [Rooster] who was weighing the pros and cons.

[The Rooster] took the document, read every clause carefully, then picked up the quill, dipped it in ink, and wrote Puccini's name.

"I accept your bet."

[Rooster] put down the pen and agreed to Yun Qing's bet with him, but this was also the result he got after weighing the pros and cons.

He did want to control Yun Qing through Katarina and others, just like he used Tartaglia's family to control him. However, he had no ill intentions, he just wanted to provide a layer of insurance to prevent them from betraying Zhidong or doing anything excessive.

Yun Qing chose this moment to take out the contract with the permission of the Queen and [Clown], obviously wanting to tell him "I am protected by Her Majesty the Queen, don't even think of any bad intentions." The fact that Yun Qing was promoted out of turn before also proved that Yun Qing did have some background.

So he might as well do a favor and hand over the Ninth Company to Yun Qing. In this way, if anything happened to the people in the Ninth Company, Yun Qing would not be able to blame him.

"Well, happy cooperation, please remember to show your favor when the time comes."

Yun Qing put away the telescope, said a few words to [Rooster], and then left the military camp.

[Rooster] watched Yun Qing leave the room, then sighed and took another sip of tea. He was increasingly unable to understand this last-placed person who was promoted out of turn.

Thinking back to when Yun Qing first came to the Dong Palace, he was not very self-reliant and even asked about his salary. His performance was completely different from that of the Young Master when he came to power.

Later, after Tartaglia returned to Solstice from Liyue, he wrote a letter to himself, in which he mentioned that Yun Qing defeated him in the Golden House. This made [Rooster] curious about Yun Qing. Can a child who grew up in the Hearth House really defeat Tartaglia who had such an adventure?

Or is it that Yun Qing’s identity is all fake?

However, after much investigation, he found that Yun Qing was indeed just an ordinary Snownetswich. If one wanted to forge so many traces of him, perhaps only by modifying the World Tree could one do it.

Therefore, according to his inference, Yun Qing might have experienced some kind of adventure that allowed her to gain the favor of the Ice Queen.

His guess was correct. Yun Qing had indeed experienced an adventure, and it was not just an ordinary adventure. How could an ordinary person be hit by a mobile phone and be transported to the continent of Teyvat?

However, when he was thinking about the identity of this junior, Yun Qing was humming a song leisurely and playing with his seal in his hand.

Hey!

Yun Qing walked on the road, washed up and reviewed his recent schedule, gave gifts to the children of the Fireplace House, trained soldiers, and asked Pan Fugui for some activity funds. The rest of the time he was happily slacking off!

Of course, Yun Qing was also doing her best to prepare for the most important thing. Now there were only 4 days left, which was quite tight, so there was no time to delay.

……

"My Lord, this is what happened."

A debt collector knelt on one knee in front of Tartaglia's desk and said in fear and trepidation.

He was one of the subordinates of [Lady] who had met Yun Qing in Inazuma before, and he also had a good relationship with Valeri who was executed by Yun Qing. He believed that it was Yun Qing who pushed [Lady] out as a shield, which indirectly led to [Lady] being killed.

Valeri was hunted down and silenced by Yun Qing because he discovered some secret, and then he was charged with desertion.

As a soldier, he could not openly disrespect the executive officer, so he had to use his hand to express his dissatisfaction.

Therefore, he wanted to sow discord with the Young Master, and let this well-known battle maniac help them to avenge. As for how to sow discord...

"What? You said he has my seal?!"

Tartaglia was furious. He slammed the table, stood up, and crumpled the paperweight at hand.

Yes, it is a paperweight. I am sure I wrote it correctly.
