Chapter 250: The Heart of God has not been given to Zhidong yet?
When Yun Jin appeared again, it meant that she was about to perform the final part of the play.
This last paragraph is also very exciting, but its main function is to end it.
The audiences were also enjoying the show, but it wasn't as exciting as the climax of the previous play.
But that's okay.
Where there are climaxes, there must be troughs. A play cannot attract attention from beginning to end. There should also be times when people can relax and unwind.
Now is the time.
The audience drank tea and ate snacks while watching the last part with great interest, watching the play come to a perfect end.
Everyone was satisfied, everyone was content, including... the people in the private seating area on the second floor.
They also relaxed and began to watch the end of the play in a leisurely manner.
But Gu Chen and Zhongli gathered together again, whispering to each other and discussing each other.
In fact, it was not a criticism, because they were not talking about the play, but other trivial matters.
First, Gu Chen thanked Zhongli quietly:
"Zhongli, thank you for what I just did."
Zhongli looked at Gu Chen calmly and understood that this was Gu Chen thanking him for helping Fu Fu out of trouble just now.
So he shook his head slightly:
"It's nothing, just a little effort."
Having said that, Gu Chen still felt somewhat concerned:
"Zhongli, did you...see something?"
Zhongli smiled deeply:
"I saw nothing, and yet I saw something."
Gu Chen's face darkened, and he didn't indulge him at all:
"speak English!"
Zhongli smiled helplessly and didn't keep the secret any longer:
“I really didn’t see anything.
After all, even if I used my divine power, I could only see that this was just an ordinary beautiful girl from Fontaine.
But……"
"But what?"
"Gu Chen, a person's dressing and behavior habits are closely related to the personality he usually displays.
Maybe others can't find any clues, but after all, I have lived for so many years, I can see it.
Ms. Fu Fu's dressing and behavior habits are somewhat inconsistent with her personality.
Combined with her name Fu Fu, it reminds me of Fontaine..."
Gu Chen held his forehead, feeling a headache.
Before Zhongli could finish his words, he interrupted with a wave of his hand:
"Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, I give in, just shut up.
Some things cannot be spoken out loud, as long as everyone understands them."
Zhongli couldn't help but reveal a smug smile, and said in a teasing tone:
"Okay, as long as everyone understands it.
But I never expected that you would bring her... from Fontaine to Liyue.
I don’t know when you first met her. It seems like you have known her for a long time?
Logically speaking, it shouldn’t be.
You’ve been in Liyue all this time and haven’t been to Fontainebleau…”
Still covering his forehead, Gu Chen still felt a little tired:
"Uh... the reasons are quite complicated and hard to explain.
All you need to know is that I did have an intersection with Fu Fu, and we did become good friends, that's enough."
Zhongli nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
The two remained silent for a while.
After a moment of silence, Gu Chen suddenly asked another question:
"By the way, how did the matter over at Zhidong get resolved?"
"What about Solstice?"
"I mean, after that big show of defeating Osel a while ago, how should we respond to Winter?"
After looking at Gu Chen with a slightly puzzled look, Zhongli replied:
"As the Gou Chen star, even if you don't usually take care of things, you should know these things, right?
After the war ended and order was restored in Liyue, the Liyue Seven Stars, on behalf of the Liyue officials, issued an accountability letter to Zhidong.
Whether it's the young master who was captured alive in the Golden House, or the Fatui you dealt with in advance at Cuijue Slope, or the various machines found there, plus the large number of imitations of the "No Taboos Record".
These are irrefutable evidence from Zhidong's side.
With this evidence in hand, Zhidong was completely in the wrong and suffered a complete defeat in diplomacy.
In order to save their face, to calm Liyue's anger, and to maintain the overall stability of the Seven Kingdoms.
Zhidong had no choice but to agree to many unequal treaties, compensate Liyue with a large amount of wealth and property, and also compensate Liyue with many useful general technologies.
In the relevant negotiations, the Liyue Seven Stars can be said to have had the upper hand and gained huge benefits for Liyue.
Although ordinary people don’t know these things, you should know them.”
At this moment, the look Zhongli gave Gu Chen was exactly as if he was looking at an irresponsible boss who just left his job.
Facing such a look, Gu Chen felt very upset:
“Of course I know these things.
Of course I know that Zhidong had to bleed heavily in order to comfort us.
That’s not what I’m asking!”
"Then what are you asking?"
With a helpless expression, Gu Chen lowered his voice further:
“I’m asking about your Heart of God; I’m asking about this matter.
I want to know how your subsequent talks with the Ice Queen went. Has the Heart of God been given to Solstice?"
Zhongli suddenly understood what Gu Chen was asking about, and shook his head subconsciously:
“Oh, the Heart of God.
Not yet to Winter."
"Oh, I haven't given it to you yet."
Gu Chen suddenly reacted and widened his eyes:
"What!? Not given yet!?
Shouldn't you have given the Heart of God directly to the Fatui after that big trouble was resolved?
Why haven’t you given it yet?
Could it be that... the Fatui haven't sent anyone to contact you?"
Zhongli shook his head slightly:
“That’s not the case.
After the turmoil ended, the Fatui immediately sent someone to contact me secretly.
However, I wasn't very satisfied with their conditions and attitude, so I kept holding them back and didn't give them the Heart of God."
After thinking about it, Gu Chen understood a little:
“It’s just that we haven’t reached an agreement yet.”
"good."
"What didn't we agree on?"
When asked this question by Gu Chen, Zhongli looked at Gu Chen with a puzzled expression:
"The part that wasn't agreed upon involves you."
Gu Chen pointed at himself, looking confused:
“Involving me?
No, what does the Heart of God have to do with me?
I'm not interested in that stuff, so don't involve me in your deal with the Ice Queen!"
Zhongli folded his arms, looking calm:
“There’s a saying that goes, ‘A single hair can move the whole body.
It doesn’t mean that you are not interested in the Heart of God, but that you cannot be involved in it.
Nowadays, your existence and your status have had a profound impact on the entire Liyue and even the entire continent of Teyvat.
There are many things that you are inevitably involved in, even if you are not involved in them.”
Looking at Zhongli's profound expression, Gu Chen felt his face turn black:
"I smell trouble...
Are you planning to trick me?"
Unexpectedly, Zhongli's smile became even more mysterious:
"Maybe it's not a pit, maybe it's not a trouble?"
