Once aboard, the crew of the "Southern Cross" were forbidden from going up to this level.
Their eating, clothing, and daily necessities are unconventional.
It was as if all the crew members of the fleet were his servants.
If you dislike her boat, then don't get on!
But Beidou has no way to do that.
On one hand, Ningguang told her.
If she doesn't obediently agree to take the Emperor to Daoqi, then even Ningguang herself can't protect her.
From then on, their "Southern Cross" caravan would be blacklisted by all ports in Mondstadt and Liyue, and they would not be allowed to do business or even dock.
of course.
However, Beidou would certainly not agree to this easily.
She hates being threatened the most.
There are always countermeasures from above and policies from below. Do you think I have no recourse if you don't let me in?
But then.

Having attempted to challenge the "Emperor," she was beaten up by Lin Jiu'an and had no choice but to grit her teeth and obediently accept it.
In conclusion, though.
Beidou cannot acknowledge this "Emperor" except for his strength.
She's so aloof and arrogant, just like Ningguang. Not only is she not approachable at all, but when you're on her boat, she acts like she looks down on everyone, making everyone unhappy.
"What business does Your Majesty have with me?"
As soon as Beidou came in, he casually sat down opposite Lin Jiu'an.
"You must not be disrespectful to His Majesty the Emperor!"
The maid standing next to Lin Jiu'an sneered.
She was a woman wearing a tall crown, a special blindfold, and black and white gradient stockings over her long legs.

Lin Jiu'an specifically asked Rosalin for it before he came.
It's said that Rosalyn is going back to Winter Kingdom to report, and she might go to Inazuma and get into a fight with that idiot "Scattered Soldiers". It wouldn't be good if things got messy for both sides, so having a "Hidden Mirror Maid" can mediate between them.
However, when Rosalyn saw that Lin Jiu'an had chosen the one named Naxia, who had the largest and most beautiful breasts, from among the "Hidden Mirror Maids" sent by the Empress, she understood Lin Jiu'an's meaning.
all in all.
After more than a month of in-depth yet accessible communication, the woman in the hidden mirror had taken on the form of Lin Jiu'an.
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Jiu'an turned his gaze away from the azure sea, looked at Beidou with an unfriendly expression, and put down his teacup.
"I called you two here today because I have some things I'd like to discuss with you."
"If you have something to say, just say it."
Beidou said indifferently, "The fleet will be entering the 'Thunder Domain' soon, and I don't have much time to chat with you here."
"Perfect timing. I don't want to waste any more time with you two, so let me get straight to the point."
Lin Jiu'an smiled faintly and asked, "What do you think of Inazuma?"
Beidou's expression tightened, then he said casually, "It's not bad for me, what's wrong?"
Lin Jiu'an then looked at Fengyuan Wanye.
Kaedehara Manyo said silently, "Although it's not perfect, it's beautiful to me."
"good?"
"good?"
Lin Jiu'an gave a faint laugh, which seemed to carry a hint of contempt and disdain, though it was hard to discern the words.
"The Thunder God secluded himself in the country, refraining from political affairs. He established a 'Thunder Domain' around Inazuma, delegating all matters to his subordinates while he secluded himself in the castle tower."
“The Heavenly Lord, relying on his position as a protector, confuses the public and collaborates with the fools to expand his power at will.”
“Kan Ding was addicted to greed, disregarded people’s livelihood and healthy development, and only knew how to make money.”
"As for the company magistrate..."
Lin Jiu'an chuckled dismissively, showing a "no comment" attitude, before adding, "Not to mention there's that nonsensical Haiqi Island right next to it."
"Despite being under Thor's protection, he considers himself irreconcilably opposed to Inazuma, and now he's even starting a war against Inazuma while Thor is in seclusion..."
Beidou couldn't help but interrupt, saying, "That's all just your conjecture."
As the leader of Maple Plains Manyo.
She wouldn't let this person slander Inazuma in front of Kaede Manba.
and.
She had a good relationship with the Kamisato family and some Inatsume people, and there were also some Inatsume people on the ship. In addition, she really couldn't stand the arrogant attitude of this new "Emperor".
“I also occasionally visit some places in Inazuma. I’ve been to Umijima Island and Inazuma Castle. The people there live in peace and contentment, which is not a bad thing. As for the things you mentioned about those in power, they are just doing their duties.”
"Your Majesty's thinking is a bit too dark."
Kaedehara Manyo also said, "Inazuma does indeed have many shortcomings."
"But there must be a reason why it was able to exist as one of the Seven Kingdoms for thousands of years and maintain peace and prosperity under the rule of the Three Magistrates."
"The rationale behind it?"
Lin Jiu'an couldn't help but chuckle, then asked, "Then let me ask you."
"How come there are so many ronin samurai in the wilderness and mountains, even though Inazuma is so outstanding in your words?"
"Don't even mention your Inazuma native area."
“Every year, countless bandits from Inazuma come to my Liyue and Mondstadt to plunder and loot.”
"Why haven't I seen any 'ronin' or 'samurai' from Mondstadt or Liyue going to other countries to engage in banditry and plunder?"
"Could you two please teach me why this is?"
"Could this be the secret to Inazuma's prosperity that you all speak of?"
Hokuto and Kaedehara Manyo remained silent.
Without him.
Lin Jiu'an said that they could refute everything else.
Because there is no evidence.
People's lives and the use of power by the Three Admonitions are all based on subjective judgment.
At least.
From the perspective of Kaedehara Manyo, who grew up in Inazuma and was used to the Three Commissioners, and Hokuto, who had little involvement with Inazuma, what Lin Jiu'an just said was merely his own dark thoughts.
However, there are many ronin samurai in the Inazuma wilderness.
This is something that Inazuma and all the countries surrounding Inazuma are well aware of.
Every year, Mondstadt and Liyue, countries separated by a vast ocean, face raids by numerous bandits from Inazuma.
Mondstadt and Liyue spend a lot of money every year to maintain their respective trade routes.
The main reason was that the pirates of Inazuma were too rampant and had threatened the maritime trade routes of their neighboring countries.
To put it more deeply...
This "Southern Cross" armed fleet was actually a beneficiary of rampant piracy.
Even in this era of blockade of the Inazuma sea area, they are still able to travel to and from Inazuma to carry out a highly profitable smuggling business.
On the one hand, Beidou's captain is indeed highly skilled.
They can easily pass through the "Thunder Domain" set up by Thor.
On the other hand, it is because the "Southern Cross" fleet is an armed fleet, and Hokuto's personal martial prowess is almost at the pinnacle of mortal strength.
However, after Thor went into seclusion and closed the country off.
The already rampant Inazuma bandits caused even more harm than before.
Nearly 90% of the islands that plunder ships at sea are inhabited by bandits from Inazuma. Many of these bandits even travel to Mondstadt and Liyue to wreak havoc. No matter how much they are suppressed, they continue to appear every year.
under such circumstances.
Only a powerful armed fleet like the "Southern Cross," which was not afraid of bandits, dared to frequently travel to Inazuma to trade.
Lin Jiu'an scoffed, "It's natural to put on a show when you're under the emperor's nose."
"Captain Beidou".
"Do you think I don't understand such a simple principle?"
"Or are you pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth, or perhaps..."
"Are you just an idiot?"
Beidou clenched its fist tightly.
She really wanted to punch this arrogant and condescending bastard.
But in the end, she loosened her fist.
No way, can't beat it.
and.
Attacking the "Emperor" is a serious crime.
She is, after all, a Liyue native; no matter how much she loves the sea, she still needs to live on land.
Not to mention this is her fleet.
If Lin Jiu'an really fights with her, Lin Jiu'an might be fine, but her crew members would probably be mostly killed.
"what do you want to say in the end?"
Beidou said shrewdly, “If you’re here to preach, then forget it. We’re just a group of people who make a living at sea and we don’t get involved in any politics.”
"That's the sentence."
Lin Jiu'an smiled and pointed to the Big Dipper.
"I hope you will always remember this sentence."
Beidou's expression changed slightly, and he asked, "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?"
Lin Jiu'an leaned forward slightly.
He looked at Beidou with a half-smile, but his tone turned cold.
"Do you think I don't know that you and your 'Southern Cross' fleet are mercenaries in other countries?"
