As soon as she finished writing, Mona rushed over: "What did you write? Tell me! Is there my name on it?"

Xia Xia also learned to carve the clear sky, blocked the stone, and pushed it away with one hand: "Respect the tradition, and don't peek at other people's secrets!"

Mona didn't miss any chance to run: "Stingy!"

Xia Xian raised his eyebrows and retorted: "You are so generous, what did you write? Tell me first!"

Mona has hidden the floating stone in the lantern and spread her hands: "I can't tell you, otherwise it won't work."

"Then you came to see me..." Xia Xia muttered, stretching out his fist to fight.

The two always bickered, and Ke Qing, who was sandwiched in the middle, once thought that they had a bad relationship.

After you get used to it, you will understand that this is also a way of getting along.

Arguing, laughing, liking, and being happy.

Just when she was feeling emotional, the sound of anxious footsteps disrupted the atmosphere in Xiao City.

The sound of the armor was approaching, with a rough gasp.

Turning back, a few Qianyan soldiers in armor were greeted in front of them.

"Master Keqing, there is an emergency."

The soldier's voice was sonorous and powerful, and the lively street was instantly stunned.

All eyes turned to this side, there were surprises, surprises, and suspicions...

"Yuheng Star Carved Clear? Where, where?"

"The beautiful woman in front of Qianyan Army on the side of making lanterns..."

"Long purple hair... That's right, Master Keqing!"

"Why does Mr. Keqing dress up like this? Are you doing a sneak investigation again?"

"Who was next to Mr. Kuqing then? Handsome men and beautiful women... foreign envoys?"

……

Keqing leads by example and often devotes herself to the front line of work. The residents of Liyue are no strangers to her appearance.

When working in a normal posture, it will not cause too much agitation.

On the contrary, this kind of "camouflage to sneak out to play" was discovered, and there was often a lot of uproar.

At this moment, Ke Qing did not escape as usual, but resumed Yu Hengxing's office posture.

Her sharp nerves, from Qian Yanjun's panic, sensed the urgency of the matter.

It seems that it is an important matter that cannot be known by the public, and Qian Yanjun reported it as close as possible.

Even Mona and Xia Xia couldn't hear it clearly.

But from Ke Qing's face gradually becoming serious, she also understands that it is not a good thing.

Maybe, today's Lantern Festival is coming to an end.

Sure enough.

After greeting Qian Yanjun, Ke Qing apologized to the two of them by nodding their heads: "I'm sorry, I wanted to show you more about the interesting things about the Sea Lantern Festival, but I have to deal with something important temporarily, and I'll make another appointment when I'm free. Bar!"

It does seem to matter.

Before Xia Xia and Mona could say anything, Ke Qing had already turned around and followed Qian Yanjun's guidance to leave.

There is no cause and effect, and it is unclear.

Xia Xia and Mona looked at each other, tacitly chasing after them.

"You guys continue to visit the Sea Lantern Festival, don't..." Ke Qing saw the two people following up, and hurriedly persuaded.

I have already made myself feel guilty for not being able to fulfill the promise of "Visit the Lantern Festival". If I still delay their time...

Xia Tian said, "It seems like a lot of trouble, why don't we help you!"

The words were asking for instructions, but the tone didn't mean any negotiation.

Ke Qing is also quite stubborn: "There's no need to waste the time you two get along, come and help me..."

"What do you mean by unnecessary?" Mona frowned, actually getting angry: "You are my friend, I want to help you, can't I? Do you need so many reasons, do you need to be so outspoken?"

Mona also proudly patted her flat chest: "Although I didn't help me in the "Sea Monster Invasion" last time, I am a very good astrologer, don't underestimate me! "

"..." Considering Qian Yanjun's report just now, maybe this astrologer can really help!

No more refusal.

The three of them walked side by side, crossing the lively city of Xiao, and going deep into the pier at the edge of the port.

Taking advantage of the short travel time, Ke Qing briefly explained what happened: "Listening to Qianyan Army's report, mysterious characters were found on the slipway near the North Pier, which is very likely related to the abyss..."

The words of the abyss.

Mona, as an astrologer and a scholar, of course has studied.

Xia Xia has dealt with the abyss. These guys who can't communicate are much more difficult to deal with than the fools.

"Is Abyss also taking Liyue's attention?"

Mond's dragon plague is the abyss, which is no longer a secret in Tivat.

However, after Xia Xia arrived in Liyue, apart from accidentally entering an unknown space when searching for the cave, there were not many traces of the abyss church.

Keqing's face was solemn, thinking of the mine closed a few months ago: "But since the news of "Wind Demon Dragon ravaging Mond" came to Liyue, we have always been vigilant about the abyss, and even the "rock formation giant abyss" Also closed..."

"It seems that the rock formation is really related to the activities of the Abyss Order?" Xia Xia wanted to know more.

If possible, he hopes to unplug all potential targets that endanger Liyue before going to the next area.

Ke Qing was ashamed and smiled bitterly: "Sorry, I'm not in charge of the affairs of the rock formation Giant Abyss..."

Before the emperor left, Ke Qing was mostly doing her own land planning and construction work, and seldom involved in other people's functions.

She knew that there was a crisis in the giant abyss of the rock formation, and she also knew the news of the appearance of the abyss church.

But without further corroboration, it is difficult to give Xia Xia a positive answer.

Chapter 413 Collusion

Half by the mountains and half by the sea, this is Liyue Port.

The coastline is divided into two sections, the south port for freight and the north port for passenger transport.

"Xiao City" is mainly organized along the north port, so that passengers who disembark the ship can immediately join in the joy of the Lantern Festival.

Nine slipway.

The platform on which the Mingxiao Lantern is built is between the second and third slipways, and there is a lighthouse on the side for lighting at night.

And the place where the suspicious information was found was on the nearest fourth slipway.

As the most important festival of Liyue, and a signboard for displaying culture to the outside world, every hidden danger of the Sea Lantern Festival affects everyone's heartstrings.

"Lord Yuheng, what happened?"

Wang Ya arrived immediately. She is the person in charge of the General Affairs Department and co-organizes the Sea Lantern Festival.

Liyue implements a hierarchical management system.

As one of the seven stars, Yuheng Xingkeqing, although she is in charge of the construction and organization of the main body of this year's Sea Lantern Festival, she did not gain much direct jurisdiction over the Qianyan Army.

If you want to send more staff, you must notify the General Affairs Department, and then the General Affairs Department will make arrangements.

At this stage, Ke Qing can only order the accompanying Qianyan Army to block the slipway, and then instruct Wangya: "You go to the General Affairs Department to report first, and contact Chiayi to confirm the situation of the Qianyan Army... There are many tourists at the Sea Lantern Festival. Never take it lightly!"

In the words, it is very serious.

"Yes." Wang Ya didn't know exactly what happened, but only knew that the safety of the Sea Lantern Festival could not be compromised, so she immediately went to the General Affairs Department.

The rare gathering of high-ranking officials naturally attracted the attention of many passers-by.

They believed in Yuhengxing and Qianyanjun, and there was not too much noise and discussion.

Then why did you come around?

Of course, it is to see the long hair and waist-length Lord Keqing, who is more charming than the bright moonlight...

The children don't care about this. They nervously asked, "Lord Yuheng, is there something wrong with the Sea Lantern Festival?"

Keqing squatted down, patted the children's heads, and said with a smile: "It's alright, hurry back to the adults, don't run around, lest they worry!"

Finished the peripheral work.

Ke Qing brought Xia Xia and Mona to the place where suspicious information was found.

Behind the tall shelves, in the midst of the stacks of goods, the ground shone with the shimmer of phosphors.

The moon with feathers and the stars with the rhombus-shaped holes in it, perhaps representing "coins in hand"?

In short, it is a very strange symbol.

But Qian Yanjun and Ke Qing are no strangers to this, and they can see at a glance that it is the mark of the "Treasure Thief Group".

It stands to reason that it has nothing to do with the Abyss Church.

But……

Mona looked solemn, half squatted down, and followed the outline of the mark with her fingers.

"Mona, what's wrong?" Xia Xia is not good at deciphering.

Ke Qing also squatted down, looking for Mona's finger, there was a very shallow trace.

It seems to be some kind of mark from the original version, which was covered by the fluorescent mark of the stolen treasure group.

"The mark should belong to the treasure thief group, but you see..." Mona washed the mark with water, and the fluorescent powder was hit by the tide and immediately lost its brilliance.

Instead, there is another clearer engraving, like the black after the blood has dried.

The newly appeared mark is more like some kind of ancient problem, beyond the understanding of Ke Qing and Qian Yanjun.

"I don't know the specific meaning, but this is the text of the abyss." Mona quickly gave the answer, which was unexpected: "Why are the treasure thieves linked to the abyss?"

The place where the mark appears is for stacking the paper, oil and wood used to build the lanterns, all of which are flammable.

On the last day of the Lantern Festival, there will definitely be many, many people coming to watch the flying of the lanterns.

At such an important time, such an important place, with such mysterious words, it is hard for people not to doubt.

Xia Xia was also worried, and took the initiative to ask the guard: "Has the Qianyan Army not found the person who painted the symbol? Is there not enough manpower?"

I don't know who this person is, but they seem to have a good relationship with Lord Keqing.

Qian Yanjun honestly reported: "The Lantern Festival is an important festival for Liyue, and the General Affairs Department has dispatched special personnel to carry out security work..."

He was ashamed and said, "But in order to welcome the major business groups, some of them were temporarily dispatched to return to Liyuan and stationed on the business road to ensure safety..."

Returning to Liyuan, stationed on the trade route?

Combined with the news from the morning, the foreign guests that Ningguang mentioned also had problems on the way. Could it be that they were attacked?

Xia Tian asked again, "How many other slipways are there for storing goods like this?"

A word awakened everyone.

If this is a conspiracy around the Festival of Lanterns, there are definitely other clues.

Regarding the storage of goods, Ke Qing is more clear: "To make Mingxiao lanterns, we need a lot of materials. In order to prevent problems, we separated these materials on three slipways, but they are very close..."

The three looked at each other and nodded, already knowing their next move.

Is it a coincidence or a joint conspiracy that the symbols of the Treasure Thief Group and the Abyss Church overlapped?

If the enemy is a treasure thief group, then strengthen the protection.

If the enemy is the abyss sect, it may not only need protection, but also take the initiative to attack!

The second stacking point is on the fifth slipway next to it, and there is also a fluorescent treasure robbery group mark.

But after erasing it, no text of the Abyss Order was found.

The last warehouse is further away. In order to store the materials brought back from abroad, it is located at the junction of the South Port and the North Port, that is, near the Qunyu Pavilion.

The three passed through the entire Xiao City, and at the entrance of the slipway, they met Ying and Paimon.
