Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

Time flies, and it’s the end of the year in the blink of an eye.

At this critical moment, something not too big or too small was reported to the Qianyan military camp near Liyue Harbor in Yunlai Sea.

There is a bandit gang that has been wreaking havoc in other countries. Recently, there are rumors that some of them have even infiltrated Liyue Port. The Thousand Rock Army stationed nearby is needed to carefully block the routes and hunt down those people.

The goal is to find out the gang rather than kill them, which means we may have to play the long game to find the gang's headquarters. The soldiers all understand this.

But there was a problem that the Qianyan Army couldn't figure out: how did those people sneak into Liyue Harbor? This should have been impossible, but it actually happened.

The soldiers had no choice but to be on high alert, holding the portraits sent by other countries and guarding all the roads day and night to ensure that no one could get away with it.

On this day, the sun rose in the east and shone brightly.

Su Ping and dozens of soldiers, each holding a portrait, waited at the western exit. Although they probably wouldn't be able to wait, they had to guard against the bandits and not let them escape in the simplest way.

People were coming and going, bustling about. This was the scene everywhere in Liyue Harbor. Whenever there were too many people, the soldiers had no choice but to step forward and identify them one by one.

This kind of scene has been going on for several days.

A morning passed with no results.

At noon, Su Ping and several soldiers sat down in the rest area before leaving the city and opened the lunch boxes they brought with them. The aroma filled their noses.

A passerby passed by and said with a smile that why not go to his house for dinner and add a few more dishes so that everyone will have enough energy to work.

Several soldiers declined politely, saying that they were on a mission and could not leave without permission, and that the purpose of the Qianyan Army was not to take a single penny from the people.

The man added: "You can't eat under the scorching sun, it's too hard."

"It's not hard. For Liyue, it's not hard." A middle-aged soldier in the team shook his head.

Seeing that he could not persuade the man any more, the man could only run home quickly, and then come back again carrying a big umbrella, following closely.

Everyone quickly put down their lunch boxes and went to help take the umbrella. It turned out that there was a large rock embedded in the base. No wonder the man had to half carry and half drag the umbrella over.

"You can't leave, so I'll give you my umbrella to block out the sun. Even though it's not that hot in this winter, you can't always be exposed to the sun." The man said, wiping his sweat.

The winter in Liyue is like this. Except for some years when it is extremely cold, the weather is quite pleasant in other years, especially for those with good physique, who can spend the winter in simple short-sleeved clothes.

Su Ping opened the umbrella and thanked the man.

The man waved his hand and said no, chatted for a few more words, then turned and left.

Several soldiers sat down, picked up the lunch boxes they had just put down, and ate their meals quickly while paying attention to the people passing by on the road. Few people would leave the city at noon, so they had the opportunity to eat and rest here.

"We've been watching them for several days, but we haven't seen a single hair. These bastards are too patient!" A young soldier cursed in dissatisfaction.

Another soldier said with a smile: "Why else would you say they are a bunch of turtle grandchildren? If turtles are treated as grandchildren, who can't they hold back?"

"It's indeed a turtle!" Someone else added fuel to the fire.

Su Ping also laughed. The main point was that although these people were evil, they were also evil for a reason and in accordance with reason. Isn't this how evil bandits should be treated? They should be like rats crossing the street, and everyone should chase them away.

If we don’t do this, it would be truly unfair!

Their lunch is very simple, just braised meat with rice. After all, they are all grown men, and the Qianyan Army’s daily workload is not small. Even if a person has a small appetite, he will have to swallow two bowls of rice after a day.

Su Ping chewed a piece of soft and sticky meat and looked at the street. Suddenly, his eyes fixed and he whispered, "His beard is fake!"

The words were incoherent and confusing, but they immediately alerted the soldiers nearby, because there was a thin man with a long beard on the street.

Under normal circumstances, this would not be surprising, but now they had a mission to accomplish, and with Su Ping's reminder, they suddenly realized what was going on.

The few of them looked at each other for a moment, still pretending that they hadn't noticed anything, and continued to eat with laughter. But when one of them gently put down his chopsticks and lowered the food box, the others suddenly jumped up.

He stretched out his legs and rushed forward. The thin man wanted to run, so he ran hurriedly towards the outside of the city, running wildly without touching the ground.

But at this distance and with the advantage in numbers, the Qianyan soldiers stationed here as the first line of defense will not let anyone escape.

The man was captured in no time. When they pulled his beard, they found out it was a fake. After further comparison, they found out that the man was one of the people who sneaked in.

"Amazing! I didn't expect Su Ping to have such a good eye!" A famous soldier gave the young man a thumbs up.

Su Ping smiled and said that he had practiced it before, but in fact it was the existence of immortal power that made his five senses and six consciousnesses different from those of ordinary people, so he could slightly detect something wrong.

A sergeant laughed and said, "After a few days, we finally caught something."

The middle-aged sergeant beside him said, "Tie him up and take him back for interrogation to see if we can get some useful information out of him."

The thin man, seeing that the Qianyan Army had made such a decision, did not shout or scream, or say that he would never confess, or beg for mercy in a humble manner. He was very calm, as if he did not care at all.

Su Ping always felt that something was wrong, because when he just grabbed the man, he didn't feel the man struggle as he should have, it was as if he just grabbed him effortlessly.

This was definitely not because of his great strength that the opponent was unable to catch up in time, because if a person wanted to escape, he would not turn back until he hit the wall, even if it meant risking his life.

This is strange.

Su Ping turned around and looked around. His eyes flashed and he shouted, "He is not the only one here!"

The soldiers were suddenly shocked back to their senses by his shout and looked around quickly, but there was no one else. The place was empty with only a few of them.

The young soldier asked doubtfully: "Su Ping, there is no one else here."

Su Ping expressed his guess and glanced at the thin man out of the corner of his eye, trying to find something strange, so as to confirm his guess.

Unfortunately, the man said nothing, and even his expression seemed frozen, with almost no change. After hearing Su Ping's words, he was like a clay sculpture or a wooden carving, motionless and lifeless.

Although the young soldier thought this was possible, he was skeptical as there was no one around.

The middle-aged soldier leaned close to Su Ping's ear and whispered, "It's possible, but it can't be ruled out that this is a trick of the enemy. We have to be careful."

Su Ping replied: "Whether it is true or not, ask him first. You should also keep an eye on it later to avoid being misled and losing the opportunity."

The two hit it off immediately, then turned to look at the expressionless man, leaned forward slightly, and Su Ping asked.

"Are you alone here?"

The man did not speak, but just raised his head slightly. He was pressed to the ground, unable to move his hands and feet, but he suddenly smiled in a way that was hard to understand.

The young soldier said angrily, "You are still laughing after being caught. Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Or did you have a fever when you were a child and your brain got damaged?"

The man turned a deaf ear to such blatant humiliating words, as if he didn't hear them, and he didn't even look at him at all.

Su Ping repeated the question: "Is your accomplice here?"

The man was still laughing, and had no intention of answering.

Su Ping closed his eyes slightly and continued, "Use you to attract our attention so that your gang can escape, right?"

"Yes!"

To everyone's surprise, the man actually answered, and his answer was firm and decisive, without any ambiguity, as if he didn't care about the lives of others at all.

The young soldier shouted, "He was able to tell the answer so easily. He must have lied to us. Su Ping, don't be fooled."

Su Ping nodded slightly, but he was thinking in his heart. He looked at the middle-aged soldier again. The latter shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no problem.

This is very strange. Could it be that this person, seeing that he can't escape, plans to drag others down with him and make them his scapegoats?

This is indeed not impossible, but the strange thing is the man's performance. Why can he be so calm, so calm, as if nothing had happened, or in other words... as if he has a sure win.

What is the other person thinking?

Su Ping frowned slightly. With his two lifetimes of experience and meticulous observation under the blessing of immortal power, he was able to capture the subtle changes in the man's eyes, but he couldn't understand what his expression was.

Su Ping did not believe that the other party was deliberately putting on such a secret expression change. If it was done to mislead, it should not be like this, because if he did not rely on many aspects of blessing, he would not be able to discover it.

"If he was sent to distract us and allow others to take the opportunity to escape, then this man's behavior is indeed understandable. But when he was asked just now, he answered so straightforwardly. What exactly is going on..."

Su Ping pondered over it, and suddenly his eyes became sharp as a torch. He thought of a possibility, which was that he was being tricked within a trick. He sent this man here and then used the trick against him. This could explain all the man's behavior just now.

Everything is done to deceive others. They deliberately state the purpose so that others think they would not act in this way, but they still act in this way, catching people by surprise!

"If that's the case!" Su Ping was lost in thought, and suddenly turned to look at the man. He saw that he was still calm, and there was no change around him, as if this was just his suspicious thought.

Is it really just overthinking?

This thought came to his mind again, and Su Ping knew that he could not delay any longer. Otherwise, no matter what the other party's intentions were, he would be influenced by them, time would be wasted, and the unknown would remain in his mind.

This is not worth it, very not worth it.

Su Ping looked at the middle-aged soldier again, and their eyes met.

The middle-aged soldier said, "Call two brothers and ask them to take the man to the General Affairs Department."

Before he finished speaking, Su Ping's heart was inexplicably shocked, and he felt a chill on his spine. He had no time to think about it, so he could only spread his arms and swept several soldiers away, while he himself also retreated at a very fast speed.

boom!
