Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

The next day, Qianyan Office.

Su Ping was dressed neatly, holding a spear, and was called by the centurion to study something in the office.

"Do you know how to deal with knife-wielding criminals?"

“First, ensure the safety of yourself and the people around you, then try to take away the weapons of the criminals and bring them to justice.”

"That's right. What if you don't have a handy weapon?"

“Use local materials.”

"What if there is no talent to be found?"

"Fight with bare hands and never let the bandits escape, or the army and the people should be united and cooperate with the people."

"Okay, that's about it."

"Centurion, why are you asking these questions?"

"Don't call me big brother anymore?"

"It's time to rest. You are still on duty now."

Shounuo chuckled and said, "Okay."

Then he looked at the handsome young man opposite him and said slowly: "You are working for me, I can't let you learn nothing, it would be too embarrassing if it gets out.

However, after yesterday, I think you also felt that you can't really use your skills in Liyue Harbor, so accumulate more and go out to fight monsters next year."

"Leaving next year?" Su Ping asked in surprise, "Then there are only ten days left. Does it count as military pay?"

"Not so fast. Let's talk about it at the end of January next year. Then you can go to the accounting office to collect it yourself." Shounuo said with a smile.

Su Ping uttered an "oh" and remained silent.

He really didn't help at yesterday's fire and the hijacking by bandits. Even if he had magical powers, it wouldn't be of much use. He couldn't put out a fire with a single finger or save the hostages with a snap of his fingers.

Martial arts and magic arts really played a minimal role in the crisis in Liyue Harbor. At most, they could only protect oneself, but could not save people effectively and quickly.

"If that's the case, then isn't my coming here just to go through the motions?"

"bingo."

Su Ping scratched his head and grinned, looking like a child who knew nothing. After learning about his true direction, he felt embarrassed, while his senior who saw through everything was gloating.

While they were joking, there was a brisk knock on the door.

"Come in." Shounuo looked towards the door.

A Qianyan soldier poked his head in and said solemnly, "Centurion, the girl who was rescued yesterday is here. She is in the yard and said she wants to see you."

Shounuo nodded slightly and said, "Tell her to wait a moment, I'll be there soon."

"Okay." The Qianyan soldier retreated immediately.

After Shounuo stood up, his eyes fell on Su Ping who was still sitting, "You should come too. Meeting with the post-disaster personnel is also an indispensable part. Remember, no matter what she says later, whether it is right or wrong, we can only go along with it.

Otherwise, if someone faints from our anger, we’ll be in big trouble.”

"Understood." Su Ping said in a deep voice.

After Shounuo walked out of the office, he saw the woman waiting by the door. He walked straight towards her, but no one followed him.

Because Su Ping was pulled back by several enthusiastic brothers nearby, and then they watched from a distance, like watching a fire from the other side of the river.

But in fact, these people were actually very considerate of the centurion. They knew that the woman was not here to call for punishment, so they held Su Ping tightly.

If the woman had come with bad intentions, they would not do that, but would go up together and bear the consequences together even if they were scolded.

After treatment, the wound on the woman's face no longer showed signs of bleeding, but only a thick layer of blood scab had formed, which looked particularly ugly on her originally smooth face.

"Centurion Keeper of Promises, thank you for your great efforts to save me yesterday, otherwise I might not know where I am." The woman showed a look of gratitude, and it seemed that there was no significant change because of the scars on her face.

Shounuo was three or four steps away from the woman and said slowly: "Saving people is our Qianyan Army's duty. Miss, thank you is too much. Besides, I didn't do a very good job."

"No, I'm lucky to be alive. It's really not your fault. I bought some cakes for everyone in Qianyan Office. Please accept them!" The woman said, and handed the two brocade boxes in her hand in front of her.

Shounuo stretched out his hand and pushed the brocade box back. "No need for the gift. We have a clear rule that we will not accept even a single needle or thread from the people. Just take it back and eat it yourself, girl."

The woman was determined not to take it back, but she also refused to accept it, so she had to leave after some excuses.

Shounuo watched the girl walk away, then realized something was wrong and hurriedly chased after her. Unfortunately, she had already merged into the crowd and quickly fled away, while the two boxes of pastries were left by the door.

"One by one, both of them are like this. It's because you see clearly that Qianyan Office cannot waste food, but you can't find anyone to send it back to you, right?" Shounuo held his forehead and had to go in with the two brocade boxes.

The Qianyan soldiers who were watching from afar also breathed a sigh of relief and secretly thought that it was not a bad thing.

"Luckily this girl is sensible and didn't make a scene with the guy from last time. Otherwise, I would have to deal with her for a long time and say nice things to her before she could leave."

Without waiting for them to catch their breath, Shounuo took a few steps closer and stared at those people, as if warning or threatening them.

Those people shut up instantly, whistled, or muttered something important, and quickly ran away, not even thinking about the two boxes of cakes.

“These guys…” Shou Nuo shook his head helplessly, then handed the brocade box to the handsome young man, “Take it and divide it among them.”

"This is what the girl gave to the centurion. We'll take it with us. Can't the centurion come for himself?" Su Ping forced an indescribable smile, which was very inappropriate.

Shounuo looked at the kid from many years ago, and now the handsome boy has become like this, and laughed angrily: "You have learned everything, not knowing whether it is good or bad! Take it and go, I have something to do here."

Su Ping quickly said yes, then went to the weapons storehouse next door and handed the brocade box to the people waiting there, "Eat it."

"You don't want it?" They all raised their eyebrows, puzzled.

One person advised: "You should also have a few pieces, they taste very good, they are made of real ingredients and are definitely healthy!"

Su Ping glanced at the familiar brocade boxes and the familiar pastries piled inside them, and shook his head, saying, "I can see things every day, and I can't eat them even if they are delicious."

"See it every day?" A man chewing a piece of cake suddenly asked, "The cake shop at the end of the commercial street, um...oh my god, it turns out that you own it!"

Su Ping smiled and nodded, "So you guys can eat slowly, I'll let it go."

"That's not right. I remember that the boss wasn't that white."

"That was a long time ago. It's hard not to get white skin after staying in the shop every day."

"That's right, it seems we have not only a few new recruits, but also a skilled cook!"

"If you like it, I'll make some for you later, but if you want more, you'd better go to the store to buy it. My small business at home can't afford to be bothered."

"Of course. Sometimes it's enough to satisfy your cravings. I won't let you have too much. We in the Qianyan Army are trustworthy. So is it a deal?"

"The contract is done?" Su Ping said with a smile.

Several people said in unison: "Those who break their promises will be punished by eating rocks!"

Their joyful voices are endless, and their achievements are known to everyone.

……

In the following days, Su Ping patrolled during the day and went home after his shift at night. He always waited until the early morning to meet the beauty before going back to his room to sleep.

These few days have been peaceful and calm.

After investigation, it was discovered that the murderer who held the hostages at the time was the instigator of the fire. He was also mentally unstable and showed signs of irritability and mania.

In the end, this man was thrown into prison, which was the best explanation to the hostages he held, and the many Qianyan soldiers who participated in this operation were also moved by it.

Inside Qianyan Office.

There were several cards on Shounuo's desk, and the top one was the identity of the man with the burnt face.

This man was originally a dock worker. His family was pretty good. His parents were still alive, he had a virtuous wife, and his son was five or six years old.

However, all of this was burned down in a fire started by the next-door neighbors. The house was destroyed and the entire family was buried in the flames. Only the man was rescued by the Qianyan Army and survived.

The neighbor's family also got the bitter consequences they deserved. Everyone died in the fire, and no one survived.

The man who wanted revenge could not find anyone to vent his anger on, so he eventually became more daring and extended his claws to the prosperous and wealthy places, because if the fire was not controlled, not only would there be heavy losses, but many people would also die.

The pavilion was ventilated on all sides and had many entrances and exits, so the man was not only able to escape safely, but also took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and escape capture.

But his family died in the fire, but no one died in this fire, which he could not accept, so he took the woman hostage and directed his hatred towards the Qianyan Army.

One fire caused another fire. No one can tell right from wrong, cause and effect. Even if someone could tell, it would always be too harsh.

Shounuo is an experienced person and has seen countless examples like this, but he is a little worried because this time it is not just him and his experienced brothers, there is also one more person.

While he was deep in thought, he looked up at the young man he had called over and asked, "Su Ping, what do you think about this?"

Su Ping asked back: "What are you looking at?"

"Who do you think is right and who is wrong?"

"It's a little hard to say."

"It's okay, just tell me what you want. Don't worry. My office is still very safe." Shounuo looked at him with burning eyes, waiting for what was to come.

Su Ping considered it and said slowly: "In the final analysis, it is still the problem of the neighbors. Two families died because of them. This matter cannot be blamed on others.

But the man who survived shouldn't have endured the pain himself and then dragged others into it. This behavior is extremely bad!"

Shounuo asked again: "No more?"

"No more." Su Ping said sincerely.

Shounuo nodded and said, "That's good of you to think so. It's not contaminated. That's correct!"

Su Ping was stunned. "Does anyone still think that this man should be justified in committing arson and holding innocent people hostage?"

"Who knows?" Shounuo did not give a direct answer, because he had no way of answering what the world thought of him. He could only stick to his heart and try to have a clear conscience.
