Chapter 612: Today's wine is diluted with water
"Huh? It seems that you must have learned information from others before coming to me."
Wendy was surprised: "Let me guess, you went to find that little guy called Albedo?"
"That's right. Dad wanted me to come here and pay attention to the possible members of the Abyss. He didn't tell me anything else in detail."
Gu Sanqiu knocked on the table: "You should know where those people are hiding, why not tell me now?"
Wendy's mouth twitched: "You don't want to go to their homes and massacre them one by one, do you?"
Gu Sanqiu was stunned: "You know this too, could it be that the wine in Diluk's tavern was diluted with water today?"
"Get your head in!"
Wendy drank a glass of wine and said, "Why did you change your way of speaking? Didn't you always call me Grandpa before?"
"Well, when my father revealed his identity to me, he asked me to change my words. I felt like my seniority had inexplicably increased."
"Be more confident and delete the word 'inexplicable'."
Wendy laughed twice: "But, there's nothing wrong with this name."
Gu Sanqiu glanced at the drunkard in front of him and said, "Then should we talk about business?"
"Oh yeah, I forgot about it all of a sudden."
Wendy suddenly realized: "First of all, a bloodbath is definitely not an option. If we don't solve the problem at its root, it will just allow those ill-intentioned fools to lie dormant and wait for another opportunity."
Gu Sanqiu frowned: "From the information I got, if you want to solve the problem from the root, there are only two ways."
"The first option is to uproot the Lawrence family and cremate them from head to toe. However, Eula is still serving in the Knights of Favonius, so this is absolutely not possible."
Wendy nodded repeatedly, looking at Gu Sanqiu with expectant eyes.
"Yes, yes. And then what?"
Incense burner:?
Logically speaking, wasn't I sent here by my dad to be a thug? Why is it that I am asked to temporarily play the role of military advisor?
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "The second option is for you to show up and, as the ruler of Mond, identify the Lawrence family and the Fatui behind them, as well as other forces."
"To put it simply, you only need to show up, and on the pretext of 'colluding with foreign forces to harm Mondstadt', you can strip them of their noble titles and 'grant' them the status of slaves."
Wendy shook her head repeatedly: "No, no, in the new era of Mondstadt we cannot restore slavery. This is absolutely not possible."
"Hold on, I'm not finished yet."
Gu Sanqiu knocked on the wine glass calmly, and Wendy gritted her teeth and poured Gu Sanqiu another glass of good wine.
"Not only do you think so, but others must think so too, such as my old friend Jean and the other members of the Knights of Favonius."
"Even for the people of Mondstadt, although they hate the Lawrence family and even refuse to drink with Eula, the guerrilla squad's achievements are real."
"Even if the people can't speak, the West Wind Church and Captain Qin will plead for mercy."
"Then you can go with the flow and make all the members of Lawrence regain their civilian status, and atone for their sins under the witness of the West Wind Church and the Knights."
Gu Sanqiu smiled: "Besides, the Wind God Guards are not very idle. Find an opportunity to take them out for a walk and let those idiots who want to take advantage of them sober up. We can solve the problem with two prongs."
Wendy responded: "You mean, asking for a sky-high price and then paying it back?"
"almost."
“But I didn’t want to show up.”
?
Gu Sanqiu stared at Wendy with a death gaze: "Excuse me, what did you just say? Can you repeat it?"
Wendy leaned back in her chair with a glass of wine in her hand, looking quite relaxed.
"I said, I have no intention of showing up at all. If a mere member of the Lawrence family can force me to show up and take charge of the situation, then they are overestimating them."
Well, another "Just Lawrence".
Gu Sanqiu resisted the urge to flip the table: "If you don't want to show up, then why did you let me say so much with such expectation just now!"
I see you, Barbatos, are just making fun of me!
"Hey."
Wendy smiled and said, "Don't be angry, nephew. I thought that as a follower of Morax, you might have some good ideas, but all you can think of is killing and asking the elders to intervene."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you haven't really learned the mind and strategy of my old friend."
Gu Sanqiu held his forehead with his hand: "If you say anything more, I will go back."
"Hey, just kidding~"
Wendy hurriedly smoothed over Gu Sanqiu: "Actually, it's not your fault. The plan is a good one, simple and straightforward and very effective. But my case is different. After all, I haven't appeared for a long time."
Gu Sanqiu glanced at him and said, "Last time when we rescued Tevarin, didn't you ride Tevarin around Mondstadt?"
"It was the Guardian of the East Wind that they saw, not Barbatos."
Wendy said confidently: "So it doesn't count!"
"Okay... let's just wait and see what happens. They are just a bunch of idiots who can't cause any trouble anyway."
Wendy's smile became more mysterious. "No, no, how can we just sit back and wait and see? Don't we have a better way?"
"Nephew, although I cannot show up, you can. You are the Saint of West Wind, so it makes sense for me to let you carry out the plan just now, right?"
“How can I…”
Gu Sanqiu stopped talking, then rolled his eyes and glanced at Wendy.
"Okay, I was still teaching you how to ask for a high price and pay a low price, but I ended up falling into your trap. It's really interesting."
"How can this be the same as what you just taught me? This is clearly a psychological tactic. I first set a trap for you to jump into and then comfort you, so that you can eliminate your unhappiness and feel grateful to me. It is a very authentic psychological method."
Gu Sanqiu finished his glass and said, "It's great that . Otherwise, many young girls in Mond would have been harmed by you."
"Hey, how can you talk like that? I am the kind of person who will abandon you after having sex with you."
"But you can directly advance to the ultimate state of abandoning your wife and children."
Wendy started yelling at Gu Sanqiu. Anyway, since they started chatting, it was impossible for outsiders to hear their conversation. The communication between the "uncle and nephew" was actually more like a quarrel between peers.
"By the way, did you bring the Thousand Winds Divine Stone that I wanted?"
"Oh, if you hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot there was such a thing. Do you need express delivery service? I can help you deliver it directly to the designated location."
Wendy smiled and said, "That's not necessary. Do you want to know why I suddenly want this thing after so many years?"
"Uh, aren't you looking for a reason for me to come over and help you beat someone up?"
Wendy shook her head. "It's not a big deal, so there's no need to speak in riddles. I want this stone back because it's really useful."
"Let me guess. You and Albedo are probably guessing what methods those guys who want to cause chaos will use, right? And your judgment is likely to be an armed coup."
Gu Sanqiu glanced at the bar in the tavern and wondered whether he should go to Diluk to raise this issue. Could it be that the fine wine sold at Angel's Gift was really diluted with water?
How can my good uncle be so clear-headed? This is unscientific!
