Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

Chapter 232: Worthy of the Responsibility

The day before returning to the camp, Su Ping sent Shen He back to Jueyunjian. The two agreed to meet again in a few years and then waved goodbye.

Su Ping watched the silver-haired figure walk into the mountains and forests until he disappeared. Then he turned and left, following the steps he had just learned not long ago, with a light body and leaving no trace.

This is the effect of walking lightly, leaving the work behind with a flick of the robe, concealing one's achievements and fame, like the wind passing by without leaving a trace, without a shadow or a trace. Su Ping has just got started and cannot hide his shadow yet.

If one has reached the point of perfection and mastery, one can take a step dozens of feet away without leaving any trace, and even the most accurate scouts will be unable to find him.

The scene in front of his eyes kept flashing. He was thinking that he would go to see the scenery of Jueyunjian next time. As for this time, he would just forget it.

……

At the beginning of May of the following year, Su Ping left the military camp.

The young man was just eighteen years old, and the centurion was beside him.

"Haha, I knew you could do it. You've accumulated enough military merits so quickly to be qualified for the position of a thousand-man commander. If you miss your brothers in the future, don't forget to come back and visit!"

Su Ping smiled and replied, "Yes."

The centurion patted the young man on the shoulder with a look of satisfaction on his face, then turned to look at the soldiers who were craning their necks as if waiting for his orders, and couldn't help feeling amused and angry.

This resolute man waved his hand and said loudly: "Today, I am happy, so let's make an exception. All the brothers in the camp can drink as much as they want. Just don't let them fall down with just one push!"

"Long live the thousand-man commander!"

The soldiers dispersed in a hurry. Without looking or thinking, you could tell that they were running to get the wine.

"Come on, let's go have a drink too."

The centurion pulled the young man and joined in the extremely lively scene. They drank from big bowls of wine, and their speech was soul-stirring and heroic. It was the most true portrayal of this group of soldiers.

The next day, after Su Ping sobered up, he washed off the smell of alcohol, changed into a brand new yellow robe, and stepped onto the chariot. He looked back and saw the soldiers seeing him off.

"Everyone go back, the mission is important." Su Ping waved his hand, and the chariot started moving, slowly taking him away.

The centurion crossed his arms and sighed, "I knew this kid could do it. He became a centurion so quickly. His future achievements will definitely be limitless!"

The sergeant who received Su Ping last year nodded slightly and said, "Captain, you have said too much this time. This Su Ping will at least be a great general in the future!"

……

Returning to the original headquarters, it seemed as if it were standing tall in the wilderness. Although not very high, it was majestic and extraordinary in its majesty.

A sergeant, upon receiving the news, was waiting at the door early. From time to time, he would chat with the Qianyan soldier guarding the gate nearby, saying that those were the soldiers he had led for three months and they were really promising.

The gatekeeper responded with a few "strict teachers produce excellent students", seeming very skilled. Maybe there are always some instructors waiting here every year.

At noon, the chariots that set out from near Liyue Harbor finally approached the majestic camp, just like a small boat entering a harbor and finding a place to dock.

After the car stopped, Su Ping jumped off the chariot and waved, "Instructor!"

The waiting sergeant was none other than his former leader in the recruit camp, instructor Feng Yan.

Feng Yan took a few steps forward, patted the boy on the shoulder, then hugged him and laughed, "Good job."

Su Ping grinned and said, "I learned it from you."

After Feng Yan hugged him, he put his arm around his shoulder and walked into the military camp like two brothers.

"Let's go. We haven't seen each other for almost two years. Let's have a drink with the brothers from the old tent."

"Forget about other camps, but can we have a good time drinking and chatting at the headquarters camp?"

"Of course it's not possible under normal circumstances, but if someone is promoted, as long as it doesn't delay things, everyone will turn a blind eye to it. After all, we are not on alert now."

"Well, it's been a while."

During the whole afternoon, Su Ping accompanied several brothers in the tent, drinking strong liquor and eating barbecue specially prepared by the instructor. He was very happy.

In the afternoon, Su Ping washed his face and followed the instructor to the center of the camp, which was the commander's tent.

Feng Yan was excited, and he lowered his voice to tell the young man beside him, "Normally, the appointment of a thousand-man commander is given by a captain, or at most by a general, but this time the commander personally told me to take you to his tent, probably for something important."

Su Ping opened his mouth slightly, wondering how he, who was promoted from an ordinary sergeant to a captain of a thousand men, could attract the great commander.

Meeting with the superior is either a curse or a blessing. Based on the first encounter they had in the clinic, Su Ping felt that it should be a blessing.

"Okay, go in, I'll wait for you outside." Feng Yan stopped and waved his hand.

Su Ping responded and walked into the tent, standing straight, "Report."

"Here he comes." The commander sat on the chair behind the table, looked at the handsome yet masculine and resolute young man, and smiled calmly.

"Pick a chair and sit down."

Of course, there was not only one chair behind the table in the tent. There were four chairs lined up from the table to the door, of the same style but in different positions.

Su Ping was thinking, his eyes fell on the second to last chair, but he did not immediately walk over to sit down, but said seriously: "Report to the commander, I can just stand."

"Sit down." These were the only two words the commander uttered. As a military commander for many years, he had the majesty of a leader that made people want to obey him unconsciously.

Su Ping said yes, then walked over to the chair he had chosen and was about to sit down.

"Ahem." The commander stopped him, "That one is too far away. Sit closer so it will be easier to talk and I won't have to shout at the top of my lungs."

Su Ping nodded again and moved a little closer, but the commander was still not satisfied and asked him to sit directly on the nearest chair.

"I just asked you to sit down. I don't mean anything else. You are so suspicious at such a young age. What will you do in the future?" The commander said with a smile.

Su Ping scratched his head. Hao Yan said, "The commander-in-chief's majesty is as majestic as the mountains in the world. I feel ashamed and panicked for a moment."

The commander laughed and said, "Come on, I am an old man with completely white hair. How can I compare to you who are in the prime of life? You are just talking nonsense."

Su Ping added: "The older it gets, the better it tastes. It's like an old horse in the stable, with a thousand miles to go!"

The commander's laughter gradually subsided and he waved his hand, "Alright, enough of my flattery. I'll finish the serious business with you first. It won't be too late for you to flatter me after I'm done."

Su Ping smiled awkwardly, then waited in a serious manner.

The commander stood up, put his hands behind his back, and spoke slowly, "All the great commanders in history, except those who died of illness at an early age, would find a suitable successor when they realized that they were no longer capable of doing things, to serve as their deputy first and then take over the throne.

After I invited the Immortal Dianyi, I heard and saw that the Sage Confucius had such a student, and I wanted to take you as my deputy. "

Su Ping was shocked. He had been mentally prepared, but he was still surprised. He thought that it was already very shocking that he became the deputy commander in just two years, but he was told that it was from then on that he had intentionally done so.

You know, Su Ping was only seven years old at the time, and he himself had only a vague idea of ​​his future, which was to make money. But the commander had already decided to make him his deputy?

It's hard not to be shocked.

The commander looked at the calm young man and said, "No need to hide everything. Not showing emotions is what you should do in negotiations. We don't need to do that here. There is no need to doubt it. After all, it is not difficult for me to investigate this matter.

You have a clean family background and good character. You were able to write poetry at the age of seven, which shows that you are extremely intelligent. You were also a student of Confucius, so you were able to talk about social harmony at that time, and in the future you should understand that the people and officials should work together.

Just these, not to mention your heroic performance on the battlefield, are enough to scare anyone and make them want to recruit you for their own use."

Su Ping said awkwardly: "Commander, is this a bit exaggerated?"

The commander said angrily: "How can you be so modest? You have been famous since the age of seven and have been advancing bravely all the way. If it weren't for us and Confucius who protected some of the information, you wouldn't know where you are now!"

Come to think of it, a genius who becomes enlightened at the age of seven. Most of the people who have left their names throughout history are of this type. Who can resist the desire to destroy such a talent and not take any action?

Su Ping bowed his head and had no choice but to say yes.

The commander sighed softly, "But I think the other person will be furious if I recruit such a great talent as my deputy, hehe...

By the way, your future position will be to stay in Dihuazhou as a captain under Zilu. He wanted to transfer you there before, but I didn’t let him.”

"Thank you, Commander."

"Come on, follow me back to Liyue Harbor to attend the Seven Stars' meeting. Remember to read, practice and learn more. You will need them in the future."

Su Ping was stunned. The other party actually made such a promise. It seemed that if nothing unexpected happened, the position of Kaiyang Star would most likely be in his pocket.

Within one day, he first became a thousand-man captain, then was appointed as his deputy, and later he knew that there was a high probability that he would become one of the Seven Stars and the commander-in-chief of the Thousand Rock Army. How exciting it was.

No matter how deep-minded or calm a person is, he or she will inevitably show some strange look.

Instructor Feng Yan was standing outside the door waiting. He saluted the commander who came out, then looked at the handsome young man. Noticing that the two seemed to be leaving together, he asked in a low voice about the situation.

Su Ping told the truth, "I have become the deputy of the commander."

Feng Yan stood there in a daze for a long time. When he finally digested the news, the corner of his mouth raised as if to poke a hole in the sky.

"Will the soldiers I once led become commanders in the future?"

The battle-hardened instructor muttered to himself and breathed heavily, because there has always been an invisible rule that is known to these veterans.

Anyone who becomes the deputy commander will definitely become the commander-in-chief in the future. This is not because of any other matters, but because it has always been so without exception.

Feng Yan also didn't think that Su Ping would be the exception. He was well aware of the boy's character, behavior, skills and wisdom, and he would definitely not make mistakes.

"It's only been two years, and you're almost a leader..."

In the military camp, the instructor sighed deeply, then mustered up his energy and strode towards the tents of his many students, standing tall and majestic.
