Genshin Impact: Responsible for Strengthening the Army

"[Servant], why are you leading people in person... The children of Hearth House are in trouble in Solstice?"

Dadalia scratched his head. He came to the city to find [Rooster] to do some business, but he didn't expect to meet [Servant] from afar on the road, and he was personally carrying a stretcher here with people.

He knew a little about Alechino. In her eyes, the children of the Hearth House were like family members. He believed that the servants might betray Her Majesty the Queen, but they would never betray the current Hearth House.

Although he trusted the Rooster, he would not believe everything he said. He was well aware of the intrigues among these politicians, but Puccini had treated him well so far, and that was enough.

"It can be considered as such. Although I don't know whether the accident happened in Solstice, at least I picked him up from Solstice Palace."

Alechino had a blank expression on her face. For a thick-skinned guy like Tartaglia, she didn't need to show the methods she used to deal with politicians. She just had to deal with him as she pleased.

Besides, what Tartaglia said was not wrong. Isn’t Yun Qing the child of the Hearth House?

"The Winter Palace? Don't be ridiculous. Who from Hearth House can enter the Winter Palace?"

Tartaglia smiled and walked closer. He didn't expect that Arlecchino would be so expressionless and make such an outrageous joke, until he walked next to Arlecchino and saw the person lying on the stretcher.

"It's him, that's all right."

Although Yun Qing's face was not revealed, Tartaglia recognized who he was at first sight because of his familiar outfit and mask.

If you ask why Tartaglia was able to recognize Yun Qing so quickly, of course it was because he had been tricked by Yun Qing too many times and suffered from Yun Qing PTSD. As soon as he saw Yun Qing, he couldn't help but want to fight with him.

"Wait, didn't I remember that he went to Liyue? I didn't hear any news that he was coming back."

If he knew in advance that Yun Qing was going back to Zhidong, he would definitely wait for him at the port or on the road and let him fight with him. When it comes to sparring with the strong, Tartaglia never has too much.

But unfortunately, Yun Qing doesn't look very good now. Although he can defeat him by sparring with him now, it is meaningless to Tartaglia. What he cares about is improving his martial arts.

"I don't know why he appeared in the Winter Palace. I just sent him back to Hearth House to recuperate on the orders of Her Majesty the Queen."

[Servant] still looked mysterious. She never showed her emotions outside the Hearth House, and even rarely showed them inside the Hearth House, so that she could protect the entire "home".

Now she has a guess. She thinks Yun Qing might have offended the Queen or Piero after returning to the Winter Palace, which is why she became like this. It should not be fatal.

This is not groundless. As an executive officer in charge of winter intelligence, others may not know, but she knows exactly what Yun Qing did to other executive officers.

Including but not limited to the theft of the seals of [Rooster], [Rich Man] and [Young Master]. According to the intelligence from the Hearth House, all clues point to Yun Qing.

Could it be that this guy wants to steal Piero's seal?

"It's getting late. I'm leaving now. By the way, when he wakes up, please send someone to notify me."

Tartaglia came to the city for business, he had something important to do. But he still wanted Yun Qing to have a fight with him as soon as he woke up.

"Okay, take care."

After saying this, Alechino continued to lead people to carry Yun Tiang to the headquarters of Hearth House, while Tartaglia rushed to the mayor's office.

About a night later, Yun Qing slowly opened his eyes. The dim firelight was not dazzling, but he still reached out and rubbed his eyes.

Yun Qing struggled to sit up. This was definitely her room in the Fireplace House, but why was she here?

I understand, I must have traveled through time again.

After being confused for a while, Yun Qing gradually recalled some things. I seemed to have played games in Liyue before. Who did I play with? I can't remember clearly.

Now I still have a headache and feel dizzy. Yun Qing yawned and lay down again. If you can't figure out something, don't think about it for now and sleep first.

After sleeping for a while, it was night again. Yun Qing woke up again. This time, she felt much better. At least she was not dizzy anymore. Yun Qing got out of bed, poured herself a glass of water, looked at the gorgeous aurora, and began to think about life.

Where do I come from? Where am I? Where am I going?

Translation: What happened before I went to bed? Why am I here now? What am I going to do next?

A knock on the door interrupted Yun Qing's thoughts.

"Who is it?"

"I, Pantalone."

The voice of "Rich Man" came from outside the door. Yun Qing thought for a moment and let him in.

"Isn't this Pan Fugui? Your presence here brings honor to my humble abode."

Yun Qing smiled. He was actually very passive now. He just tried, but even the simplest teleportation skill was unusable. The system displayed "under maintenance", which made people laugh.

Only the skills of controlling puppets, entering dreams and evil eyes are available to Yun Qing now, and Yun Qing feels that his power has been weakened a lot.

"There's no need for small talk. Buratino, you're really getting more and more successful now. You've even taken the position of Rock King."

Although Pan Fugui had a smile on his face, Yun Qing could feel that he was gritting his teeth when he said the last few words.

Pan Fugui had been waiting for him at the door for a long time. [Rooster] learned from Tartaglia that Yun Qing had returned to Zhidong, and Pantalone, who had been in close contact with [Rooster], also heard the news.

"Isn't this good? After this mission is completed, Liyue will return to winter. Don't question my loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen. Loyalty! Sincerity!"

Yun Qing patted his chest. Looking at the current Zhidong, who else could be as loyal to the Queen as he was? Other executive officers joined the Fatui with some purpose, but what about Yun Qing? He was clean-handed!

"I don't deny your loyalty, Buratino, but I also ask you to consider the feelings of our colleagues when you act."

To put it simply: You know I hate Liyue, but you want to protect it. You should know that Yun Qing slept for a day and a night, which is enough time to transmit everything that happened in Liyue back to Dongzhi.

"Oh? I thought you wanted to destroy Liyue yourself using the means you are best at. I didn't expect your aspirations were so low. Forget it, I will just help you forge more Mora later, just as a token of my appreciation."

Yun Qing sighed deeply and said with a look of regret. I thought your ambition was to reach the stars and the sea, but I didn't expect you to be so short-sighted. How sad!

"Don't worry about that. I have my own way. I can let bygones be bygones. I came to you today to discuss a plan called 'Severe Winter'."

The chicken feet were finally exposed, and Yun Qing knew that this guy had no good intentions.

"I have no power in Hearth House, so there's no point in looking for me."

Yun Qing refused bluntly, and her position was special and had nothing to do with the management of the Fireplace House.

"Really? On the way here, I heard those Snowdrifts address you as 'brother'."
