Chapter 197: Be A Chess Piece Honestly
First, sort out the existing information.
The fools, the young master, Bai Wutao, the immortal in the clouds, planning the ceremony to send immortals, Ke Qing, who is disrespectful to ghosts and gods, Ning Guang, who has no plans left, and the heart of God.
This information has made the whole thing clear. Now the only people in Liyue who are most likely to take action against the emperor are Yu Renzhong and Liyue Qixing.
He may not have known much about Liyue when he was playing games in his previous life, but after getting to know Liyue in this life, Guan Feng discovered that although the Fools' diplomatic methods are powerful, they are completely unable to use their hands and feet in Liyue with the blessing of God. This is not like Mondstadt.
The initial or final goal of the Fools is to obtain the Heart of God from Lord Rock. This has been confirmed in Mondstadt.
Therefore, based on this premise, Guan Feng can quickly understand the purpose of the young master asking travelers to find immortals and then help prepare the ceremony to send immortals.
Immortals are used to hold back the Seven Stars of Liyue. They want to dominate Liyue Port. There are two mountains in front of them, one is the Emperor and the other is the Seven Stars of Liyue.
Now that the emperor is dead, the only one who can stop the Fools is the Seven Stars of Liyue.
As for the death of the emperor, Qixing, who is the pinnacle of Liyue's power, naturally has an unshirkable responsibility. As long as the immortal is found, the immortal will investigate Qixing thoroughly as soon as possible.
As long as the Immortals and Seven Stars face each other, and the Seven Stars no longer have any extra energy to deal with the fools, then they can naturally start their own plan.
The purpose of helping to prepare the immortal ceremony is very simple, it is to find out the location of the emperor's body.
Inferring this, we can deduce another point, that is, the Fools did not assassinate the emperor. If they really did, they would have taken away the Heart of God directly during the battle. Otherwise, why would the corpse appear in front of Qixing?
How about making tasks more difficult for yourself?
Of course, this cannot rule out the possibility that after the Fools assassinated the Emperor, they were unable to take away the Heart of God for some reason.
But this possibility is too small. The current derivation needs to be based on the premise that the event with high probability is the "truth", otherwise it will be impossible to understand the truth of the matter in this life.
If the Fools didn't assassinate the emperor, Quan Liyue would only have Qixing left to assassinate the emperor.
But Keqing, the most ungodly of the seven stars, has no intention of assassinating the emperor. Will the other six stars assassinate the emperor without telling her?
That is naturally impossible.
Furthermore, Ning Guang’s behavior during the ceremony was really strange!
Based on this, Ying believed that Ningguang wanted to shift the responsibility to the crowd watching the ceremony and absolve himself.
This makes sense, and there is nothing wrong with the analysis.
But the only problem is that I don’t understand Ningguang very well!
Although he had never seen Ningguang, Guan Feng had already heard of Ningguang's reputation.
How could someone with such a meticulous plan leave such obvious loopholes before planning such a huge thing?
Even if it is put on the fools, it is more reasonable than on the spectators!
Based on the above two points, Guan Feng can confirm that Liyue Qixing did not assassinate the emperor.
So neither the Fools nor the Seven Stars assassinated the emperor, then the truth is already obvious.
That means the emperor was either killed by an unknown strong man, or he faked his death!
But the emperor is so powerful that there are very few people who can kill him now, and the possibility is extremely low.
On the other hand, Guan Feng had deduced the idea of suspended animation before, and even discussed with Ke Qing the possibility of Liyue leaving the emperor.
Besides, Ying and Paimon just signed a binding contract with Dean today.
Based on the above inference, Guan Feng has an 80% probability of being certain that the emperor faked his death!
As long as there is enough information, both Yu Renzhong and Liyue Qixing can deduce this conclusion.
But the problem is that both forces were overwhelmed by the sudden death of the emperor.
In addition, it was difficult for them to think that the emperor would fake his death, but Guan Feng had played this trick before, so he could quickly think of it.
Thinking of this, Guan Feng rubbed his chin...
The purpose of the emperor's fake death is nothing more than to make Liyue Port independent and to observe whether Liyue Port can survive the difficulties.
Although I have deduced the truth now, I don't know where the emperor is now.
But if you want to observe, the best perspective is not the God's perspective, but the first-person perspective.
Because the God's perspective has a fatal flaw, that is, it cannot observe the atmosphere. The atmosphere must be felt. The God's perspective cannot be done, but the first-person perspective is possible.
So the emperor will be involved in the whole incident in another capacity, does that mean?
After determining the emperor's current approximate position, Guan Feng couldn't help but think about what he could do and what he could gain from this incident...
He quickly figured out that since the emperor wanted to test Liyue, he naturally couldn't tell others the truth about the emperor's fake death.
If he really said it, the emperor would kill himself first!
So just let nature take its course! Just be a chess piece in the hands of the emperor.
Don’t think about being a chess player all day long!
Since he decided to be a chess piece, Guan Feng began to speculate on the development of things that the emperor hoped for most.
After thinking for a while, Guan Feng thought that he should lead the immortals from Liyue to Liyue Port!
Although Guan Feng didn't want to help the Yuzhong, but if he didn't go, the Yuzhong and Qixing would send people to find the immortal.
Since it is inevitable for the immortal to come to Liyue Port, then leave it to yourself!
He can also benefit from this. Ask the Immortal to brush up his favorability and presence in front of those big guys. After the Emperor Game is finished, he can also go and collect some wool!
When he thinks of this, Guan Feng is full of motivation!
He raised his head and said to the two of them: "The emperor's death is enough to change the entire Liyue Port. Our Chamber of Commerce cannot do much and can only choose to be wise and protect ourselves."
"But the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. Even if our Chamber of Commerce doesn't want to cause trouble, Liyue Qixing may put the blame on us."
Paimon asked worriedly: "Then what should we do now? Do we need to go to Mondstadt to hire foreign aid?"
"Water from afar can't quench our thirst nearby. What's more, the person who can truly prove our innocence is at Wangshu Inn."
Ying suddenly reacted: "You mean the immortal?"
Guan Feng nodded affirmatively and said: "Yes, the only one who can prove our innocence now is the immortal. As the actual leader of the Chamber of Commerce, I have been staying with the immortal during this time, even if Qixing puts the blame on us.
It's untenable, at least the Immortal will be the first to disagree."
"Besides, the immortal and the emperor have a contract to protect Liyue. Now that the emperor has passed away, we should also tell the immortal about this."
In my previous life, I was able to successfully visit the immortals only after receiving the all-forbidden gift from the young master.
Although he didn't get it in this life, he is still here. He has established a good relationship with Mandrill early on, and it doesn't matter if there is no taboo.
Moreover, as long as he asks for some tokens from Mandrill, he can safely visit the immortals in Jueyunjian, and the effect is even better than the one without taboos.
