Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

The Jade Pavilion, the heavenly immortal palace, hangs high outside Liyue Harbor. Apart from the sun and the moon, it is another scene on the sky that is not very clear to the human eye but is still visible.

The deck, which should have been endless, was now filled with many objects, including hundreds of floating stones of various kinds, which were placed safely on the ground after their immortal power was concealed, as if they were just ordinary glowing stones.

"Only Sister Ningguang could come up with the idea of ​​pouring copper and iron on the floating stone so that it could explode like a storm of destruction during a war."

"Little brother, there's no need to be modest. Even if I hadn't proposed this idea, you would have thought of it soon."

"Maybe, it's just a little bit off."

There were two people at the door, one standing and one sitting, both with white hair.

Su Ping faced the floating stones. The breeze blew up a strand of hair hanging beside his ear. He thought of the battle that had stirred up countless storms.

At that time, there was a general in yellow clothes fighting the devil alone, covered in blood. There was a white-haired woman who was willing to give up the treasure she had put so much effort into for the sake of the people behind her.

That's why Su Ping said that this was a method that only his sister Ningguang could come up with. Others were too stingy and did not have the financial resources or the courage.

Ningguang sighed leisurely, "I hope that these processed floating stones can reduce the number of deaths in the Thousand Rock Army. Even if it's just a few, it's good."

Su Ping affirmed: "Of course they will. With Sister Ningguang's unremitting support, the soldiers will definitely be able to reduce the momentum of the killing a little."

It is true that the Floating Life Stone comes from the immortals, but each one that will be cast on it requires at least a thousand kilograms of molten copper and iron, all made by Ningguang.

Don't say that it's her duty to do these things because she holds a high position, or that the money was originally taken from Liyue Harbor and should be returned to Liyue Harbor. What's hers is hers, and if she is willing to give it out, that's great.

In this world, except for parents and those few destined ones, no one will be nice to others for no reason. Most of the time, everyone does it for their own needs.

Ningguang smiled softly and said, "Actually, if I hadn't met you, my little brother, or if you weren't a member of the Thousand Rocks Army or the Grand Commander, I probably wouldn't have had much feeling for and exposure to the Thousand Rocks Army's military life and bloody battlefields.

Even if they were wearing iron armor to save Liyue Harbor, even if they sacrificed their lives in front of millions of people, the most I would say is "Liyue is safe because of them", but I probably wouldn't take it to heart.

Because before I became a candidate for Tianquan Star, before I left that small grocery store, I didn’t know about national policies, floods and droughts, and I didn’t see or think about them. What I should think about is how much I will earn today and what more interesting items I can sell and make money tomorrow. ”

"How is it now?"

Su Ping spoke softly, without any grudge in his heart. They had lived together for nearly twenty years, so it shouldn't be that serious. And it was obvious that there was something else to talk about.

Sure enough, Ningguang's voice sounded again.

"It's different now. I've become a powerful Tianquan Star, married to you, my little brother who aspires to join the Qianyan Army, and my two children have you as their father, who is the commander-in-chief. How can it be the same?"

Ningguang reached out her hand, caressing his withered hand with her gentle hand, and said in a warm voice: "I now understand that those Thousand Rocks soldiers fighting alone are not made of iron. They also have fears, joys, anger, sorrows, and happiness. They just have to endure it for the sake of the lights of thousands of homes and the peace of their own families."

Su Ping's palm moved slightly, and he gently held her hand. "The Thousand Rocks Army has now expanded to 500,000. Behind these 500,000 people is a family, and they are all looking forward to their return. However... there is really no guarantee how many people will survive after the war."

Ningguang shook her head slightly and said nothing.

Su Ping continued: "Yun Qing, I want him to join the army in the future..."

He stopped talking before he could finish his words, because the force applied to his hands had increased slightly.

Ningguang's red eyes were full of light, and her tone was sad: "Forget it, it's up to you. You defend the country and I protect my family."

Su Ping smiled calmly and said, "This may be a little difficult. Sister Ningguang is not just the mistress of the mansion."

"Of course I know, but I just can't be so broad-minded and really not worry at all."

"Parents are so pitiful. It's impossible for me to be completely relieved about Yunqing, but there's no way. He will definitely ask for it in the future. If I refuse, or let Ling Ling, who is better and stronger than him, go to the battlefield, he will definitely feel resentful in his heart even if he doesn't say it."

"How could our Yunqing, such a well-behaved child, be so rebellious?"

"It's normal to have some resentment. For example, I am the commander-in-chief of the Qianyan Army, but I can't let my son stay out of it. No matter how you look at it, it seems like an act of seeking fame and fortune after death. In the eyes of some people, I am nothing more than a hypocritical commander who is greedy for fame and fortune but has to pretend to be reluctant!"

"Rats appear every year, and they can never be completely killed or eradicated."

"But only in a peaceful and prosperous era can these things survive."

Right under the moon, right in front of the door, the two white-haired men spoke freely about whatever they thought, not only because they were two of the Seven Stars, but also because they knew each other very well.

"By the way, before we go to the battlefield in the future, Sister Ningguang, remember to persuade Yun Qing to be more careful when charging into battle. It won't be a problem if he lags behind by a few steps."

"Since you want him to go to the battlefield, why..."

"A long time ago, I read a book in which someone also said something like this: before you went to the battlefield, your father asked you to charge forward at all costs. Didn't your mother secretly tell you to be more careful and not to charge too far forward?"

"Little brother, do you want to leave the bad guys to yourself?"

"I do have a little selfish motive. After all, I didn't pick him up on the street. How could I really let him run wild on the battlefield?"

"Okay, I remember."

In fact, there was another sentence that this prematurely gray-haired commander-in-chief was unable to say.

It also comes from the same book, and is also said to be written by Nan Zhangsheng, who copied the words in a realistic way. It is an extremely freehand sentence.

In this world, no one deserves to die, but no one shouldn't die either. It's not like Su Yunqing is Su Ping's child, so he must be successful on the battlefield and be safe in the end.

What the couple didn't know was that their heartfelt words were heard word for word by the brother and sister who were waiting behind the door.

Su Lingling's eyes were red and her fists were clenched.

Su Yunqing did not say anything to comfort her, and his face looked bitter.

He was not resentful because of his father's arrangement, but because of something else, something that was rare in the doors of wealthy families.

He wanted to say, "Dad, just tell Yun Qing about this directly. There's no need to beat around the bush. Even if I really die on the battlefield, it's my fate. I don't blame anyone but myself for not being good enough in skills. But... please don't let my sister go to the battlefield, okay?"

Su Lingling suddenly turned around, not hiding her tears in front of her brother, and whispered, "You are not allowed to die. You are not allowed to die casually. Do you understand?"

Su Yunqing nodded silently.

Su Lingling patted his brother's shoulder and said, "Actually, I have no right to say anything to you. I clearly have the power of immortality, but I am being sent somewhere else, and you are the one taking over instead."

Su Yunqing smiled and said, "If my sister wants to teach me a lesson, I'll listen to her anytime."

"Not this time. When you come back, it won't be too late."

"Okay, come back as soon as you can."

"Ok?"

"I will definitely come back!"

Su Lingling then let him go, wondering what her father was thinking. Why didn't he let her go, but let her brother go, whose strength was not even half as good as hers.

Could it be that he is really biased to this extent?

……

Not long after that, there was a night with the same moonlight.

Su Lingling knelt in front of several portraits with a pious look on his face, and said solemnly: "Please, gods, bless my brother Su Yunqing to live a peaceful and healthy life. Su Lingling is willing to burn incense and worship for the rest of his life. Please bless his body!"

This is a dilapidated temple that few people visit. There is only a bronze statue in the temple that looks like a bird, and several solemn images of Yakshas on the wall.

In fact, she was desperate and was trying every possible means. She was already a disciple of an immortal, so why was she asking for help from any immortal?

"You have so little confidence in your brother?"

Su Lingling turned her head and saw the white-haired woman in yellow clothes sitting in a wheelchair. Her lips moved slightly, but no sound came out. She gritted her teeth and her eyes were red, as if she was resisting.

Su Ping smiled bitterly. Although he couldn't see, he knew his child's temper very well. He knew that she was angry, so he could only say, "You come every night and rush back before dawn. Aren't you tired?"

Su Lingling's voice was hoarse, "Whether I am tired or not, what does it matter?"

She opened her mouth again, but didn't say "What's it to you?". She didn't have the heart to do it, nor did she dare to.

Su Ping sighed and said, "The reason why I let Yunqing go to the battlefield instead of you was because I had other arrangements, but I didn't tell you before. If it weren't for your aunt Shen He, I really wouldn't know these two things."

Su Lingling had a matter-of-fact look on her face. She knew that her aunt would definitely tell her father about these two things, but she didn't feel dissatisfied about it. In fact, she also secretly wanted her father to know a little bit, just a little bit.

Su Ping said bluntly: "Okay, it's cold at night, go back first, don't let your aunt wait outside for too long, you can come during the day."

Su Lingling just stood up and asked, "Do you really have other arrangements?"

Su Ping nodded. "That's right. Immortal disciples' methods are not limited to the mundane tactics of war, so we need to do more research to maximize their effectiveness."

Su Lingling walked over and pushed his wheelchair, "I'm sorry, Dad."

Su Ping waved his hands. Of course he wasn't angry.

We are a family, how can there be any overnight hatred? It's just a little bit of grudge in the heart. If you talk it out, it will be fine.
