Genshin Impact: Responsible for Strengthening the Army

"Old man, do you think Lady Tianquanxing recognizes you?"

Yun Qing and Mr. Zhong were sitting at the dining table in Wanmin Hall, where steam was rising from the table of hard-core dishes such as braised shredded pork with garlic, squirrel fish, and crab roe tofu.

This time, it was Yun Qing who took the initiative to invite the old man to dinner and even booked the Wanmin Hall for a short period of time.

"My dear guests, the dishes are ready. Please enjoy. Mr. Zhongli and Mr. Yun, what are you talking about?"

Xiangling came up with a pot of Wanmintang boiled fish, followed by a rice crust and two bowls of rice on her head, eating.

Xiangling, who is not Diluk but holds the Eye of the Fire Element, has a lively and cheerful personality. Facing these two old diners who have come to Wanmin Hall more than once, she just wanted to chat with them.

But this obviously went against Yun Qing's purpose of booking the entire place. The topic they were talking about today was not something a child like Xiang Ling could listen to. Children should not pry into adults' secrets.

"Once upon a time, the Jade Pavilion of Lord Tianquan was still suspended above Liyue. It is said that there were several koi fish in the fish pond of the Jade Pavilion. We are discussing whether the koi of Lord Tianquan tastes different from ordinary fish."

In fact, Yun Qing already knew that it tasted good, and Uncle Tian also thought it was good.

"Ordinary koi will taste earthy when eaten, but if it is raised by Master Tianquanxing, it is hard to say."

Xiangling scratched her head. Yun Qing didn't expect that she would actually think about this problem. Should she say that she is worthy of being Xiangling?

"It's okay. When Ningguang rebuilds the Jade Pavilion, I'll try to get one here to taste the saltiness."

In fact, Yun Qing's words were half true and half false. How could he only catch one? Unless Ningguang only released one koi, she would have to catch them all!

"Uh... huh? No thanks, just take your time eating, I won't disturb you."

Xiangling was a little confused, but she had a vague feeling that this guy might really hold a fish in his hand and ask her one day, "How did you know I caught this in the Qun Yu Pavilion?"

Anyway, she knew that one of these two customers spent money like water, while the other regarded money as dirt. In short, it was very strange, but she couldn't say much about the customers' affairs and could only deal with them.

"Based on common sense, she should not have known my true identity, but with Tianquan's knowledge of Liyue Harbor's intelligence, she may have had suspicions for a long time."

Seeing Xiangling leave, Zhongli continued to answer Yun Qing's questions.

As a guest official of the Wangsheng Hall, Lao Deng, who is also well-versed in history and knowledge of astronomy and geography, is quite famous in Liyue Harbor. Many people would call on him when they want to identify antiques or appreciate jade.

Tianquanxing must have considered investigating such a person.

But Zhongli didn't suddenly appear after the Emperor was assassinated. He had actually lived in Liyue Harbor a long time ago, so it was not easy to find out some clues.

"How about this, I host a ceremony to invite you to come and teach Ningguang a lesson, how about that?"

To be honest, when Yun Qing was threatening Ningguang at the General Affairs Department, she didn't know what major events would happen in Liyue in the near future. There was still some time before the Lantern Festival, and both Ba Che and Osel were having dinner. In the original plot, Liyue's major enemies would not appear in the near future.

So Yun Qing planned to blow up a mountain in the next two days to give Ningguang a warning.

"I reject."

Zhongli took a sip of tea. He was retired and was just an old man who didn't care about anything. If he revealed his identity, wouldn't he be caught and made to work overtime?

"Then I can only prove it to Ningguang myself. Old man, I fully respect your opinion. How about you choose one of the many mountains in Liyue?"

What Zhongli said to Ningguang in the dream was all discussed between Yun Qing and him, so Yun Qing now wants to force Ningguang to submit by creating anxiety.

Although he has a simpler method, such as directly tying up Ningguang, wouldn't it be boring to always use violence?

"Don't worry. I'm pushing you to the forefront at this juncture because of Liyue."

The general meaning is: I have my reasons for cheating you now, and that is to help me solve the problem, and I will definitely help you take the position of the sucker.

This means that something big will indeed happen next, but Yun Qing doesn’t know what will happen.

Is it the Kanreya beast tide that is making a comeback, or is it that Sky Island is just throwing nails down out of boredom? It can't be that the army of the Kingdom of Winter is approaching, right?

"Is it convenient to disclose it?"

"I'm sorry I can't tell you."

……

"Ningguang, our fleet has made some discoveries recently, and I think it's necessary to tell you about it."

After Ningguang sent away an unpleasant guest, she welcomed a slightly better guest.

This guest received a lot of support from the Seven Stars, which made her the leader of the Southern Cross Fleet, the second most powerful fleet in Teyvat.

Who is the first? Of course, it is the Winter Navy. By the way, the third is the Winter Coast Guard.

"Oh? The leader of the Southern Cross Fleet is visiting the General Affairs Department. What can I do for you?"

Ningguang chuckled and asked Beidou to sit down and talk slowly. However, Beidou may feel that sitting on a chair is not in line with her status as a big sister, so she simply stepped on the chair and posed in a domineering posture.

"To make a long story short, there are things in the sea heading towards Liyue. I'm afraid our fleet alone can't stop them."

Beidou is very familiar with all kinds of things in the sea. In addition, there is a Fengyuan Manye who is good at listening to rumors in the fleet, so the danger warning is fully activated and all-round defense is provided under the sea and in the air.

If Guan Yunqing had a fat Tuo, he could form an all-round team on land, sea and air.

"So, now you know what that is?"

Ningguang was disappointed when she heard this. It seemed that the Emperor's dream was true, and the danger must have been approaching quietly. According to the three days given to her by the [Puppet], it can be inferred that something unusual will happen in about a week.

Emperor, oh Emperor, why do you have to find someone from the Fatui Clan?

However, Ningguang was overthinking this. Yun Qing just wanted to scare her, and she had no idea what was about to happen.

"It's not clear yet, but we found many fleeing sea beasts in the previously unobstructed waterway, and we have never seen these sea beasts before."

This is also the reason why Beidou is so worried. The waterways in the sea were opened up by the fleet after going through numerous hardships and dangers. The routes they often take now have very few sea beasts and reefs.

And now, many sea beasts have appeared on these once safe roads, and they do not actively attack ships, but simply destroy any obstacles blocking the way, which shows that there must be something behind that scares them.

"Therefore, we believe that the thing in the sea is definitely several times stronger than the 'sea mountain'."
