Genshin Impact: Responsible for Strengthening the Army

"I was originally an orphan from Liyue, adopted by the Hearth House, and survived the winter without seeking fame and fortune among the fools. The Queen did not treat me as a lowly servant, but took care of me in the Hearth House. I was grateful and allowed the Queen to serve me. Later, I was promoted and given a task to strengthen the army and to prosper. It has been one day in the past two weeks."

Yaya looked at Yun Qing in surprise: What are you talking about? Why do I know every word, but I can't understand them when they are put together?

After hearing Yun Qing's moving speech, Zhongli slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and praised: "It seems that Mr. Yun Qing has not forgotten Liyue's culture in the many years of Zhidong."

"Of course. After all, Liyue is the oldest country in existence. I really like the rich cultural heritage here."

As the two of them flattered each other about their business, Dada Duck became confused.

What's up, Fei Si? I was the one who invited these two people, so why am I an outsider now?

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the Young Master paid the bill and they left the Glazed Pavilion together.

"Mr. Zhongli, let's stop here for today. See you next time." [Young Master] said to Zhongli, and turned to look at Yun Qing: "What about you, Yun Qing, are you going to Northland Bank?"

"No need for that. I had a great conversation with Brother Zhongli. Let's chat for a while before we leave."

Zhongli also nodded.

Dada Duck looked like he had eaten a rat head: It’s broken, I’ve become a light bulb.

After Dada Ya left, Yun Qing smiled and said to Zhongli, "Lord Emperor, why don't we talk somewhere else?"

"Alright."

The two came to the port. Looking at the prosperous port, Zhongli was filled with thoughts for a moment, and Yun Qing spoke.

"Emperor Yan has led Liyue for more than 3,700 years, but you must be a little confused now. Am I right?"

This is the benefit of knowing the plot, otherwise Yun Qing would probably be like [Young Master], hanging in the golden house once a week.

"In these 3,700 years, I have never doubted what I have done. But just a few days ago, I was walking in the port and heard a merchant praising his subordinates: 'You have completed your duty. Now, go and rest.' I stopped there for a long time, asking myself: 'Is my duty...completed?'"

As a god who has walked with his people for three thousand seven hundred years, he doesn't know whether he should rest or whether Liyue is ready for the next era.

"In that case, old man, why don't we let you test your student who has not yet graduated."

How could Yun Qing not know what the old man was thinking? He just wanted to retire early.

So Yun Qing and Zhongli agreed on all the details of this "test", including faking death during the immortal ceremony and hiding everything from Dada Ya.

"By the way, Mr. Zhongli, I have one more thing I want to ask you."

Yun Qing has never forgotten what he saw in Brother Ji's nest that day.

"That's what you say."

"In the early stages of the Demon God War, did anyone want to tell you the outcome of the Demon God War?"

Hearing this, Zhongli sighed, as if he was recalling something.

"Yes. He is a very interesting man, his name is... Lil Raj."

"Do you know anything about him besides his name?"

Seeing Zhongli's expression, Yun Qing knew that Zhongli must know some inside story, but might not be willing to tell him.

"I can't say much about the rest. Maybe Mr. Yun Qing can find the answers he needs on his own. However, I can also tell you that I can feel his aura on you."

Yun Qing knew that Zhong Li's words meant that he didn't want to talk anymore, so Yun Qing tactfully said goodbye to Zhong Li and returned to the company's garrison area alone.

The next day, Qun Yu Pavilion.

Ye Lan followed "Yun Qing" and collected intelligence all day yesterday, so early in the morning, she rushed to the Qun Yu Pavilion to report to Ning Guang.

"According to my investigation, [Puppet] has been traveling back and forth between Liyue Harbor and Qingce Manor in the past few days, and just yesterday, he set up a ground vein monitor at Wuwang Slope. After he left, several members of the Fatui operated the monitor. I suspect he wanted to transmit information through the ground veins."

"Let's not talk about the ley lines for now. Are you sure the [Puppet] you were following yesterday was him?"

Ningguang frowned, took a puff of cigarette, and said.

"how do I say this?"

"Yesterday, my people saw someone who looked like a puppet at Liuli Pavilion."

As she spoke, Ningguang took out a portrait from the drawer, which was exactly the appearance of Yun Qing's puppet.

"I asked an artist to draw this specifically according to her description."

Ye Lan took the portrait and looked at it carefully, and suddenly, she found something wrong.

"Are you sure you didn't draw it wrong? On the day the puppet got off the ship, I observed him carefully. Both of his eyes were blood red."

"According to her original words, 'The right eye of that person is blood red, and the left eye is much darker than the right eye', so, what you mean is..."

"The one who appeared in Liyue Harbor was a stand-in. His purpose was to disturb people and confuse them."

It can be said that Ye Lan's professional ability is extremely outstanding. She wrote down the appearance characteristics of "Yun Qing" on the day she got off the ship, but she failed at this point because she was too confident in her judgment.

"In that case, you can continue to follow that [Puppet]. I will send someone to watch over Liyue Harbor."

Ningguang knew how confident Ye Lan was. She would not give up unless she was allowed to watch the [puppet] over there, but she also could not allow a major hidden danger to arise in Liyue Harbor.

What if the one in Liyue Harbor is real?

What is Yun Qing doing at this moment?

After Yun Qing discussed the plan with the old man yesterday, he returned to the company. After resting for a night, Yun Qing couldn't sit still again.

So Yun Qing used his skills to change his appearance again, becoming a man with yellow hair and wearing a cloak, making people feel that this person is very mysterious.

Yes, it is our Dainsleib.

After putting on the vest, Yun Qing came to Chihuyan, intending to experience the customs and culture of Liyue.

Chihuyan is a market in Liyue, and it is indeed very busy. Walking on the street, you can hear the hawking and shouting of "Central Plains miscellaneous, delicious and inexpensive". Suddenly, Yun Qing saw a little bear waving at him on the street.

“Lu~Lu~!”

Is Wanmintang's business very bad now? Has Xiangling asked Guoba to go out on the street to solicit business?

"I'm sorry, sir. This is Guoba. It doesn't bite. Didn't it scare you?" Xiangling smiled apologetically and scolded Guoba: "Guoba, you are bad!"

Guoba looked at Yun Qing with a silly face, no one knew what he was thinking.

"It's okay." Yun Qing waved her hand and continued, "Since it's such a coincidence, let's have lunch at Wanmin Hall today."

While Yun Qing was chewing the rice crust, he thought about his little guarantee.
