Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army
Chapter 257 Taking Office at Kaiyang Star
After the Lantern Festival, Su Ping was twenty-one years old. He felt that the time was right and he no longer needed to pretend to be injured, so he took over the position of Kaiyang Star in the General Affairs Department.
On that day, two other Seven Stars, Tianquan and Yuheng, announced their abdication. The former's successor was of course Ningguang, and the latter's successor was selected by the staff of the General Affairs Department, and finally the position fell to Keqing.
The succession ceremony was not grand, but rather dull, just like any other Seven Star Conferences in the past.
It’s just that the people sitting in those three seats are different. Their faces are much younger, and their ideas and concepts are the same. The old are replaced by the new.
The Seven Stars Conference this time discussed the review of the last Shimen disaster. In fact, it had been held before, but the position of Kaiyang Star was vacant at that time, so it did not count.
On the prepared intelligence summary sheet, the first line had a few large characters written on it: The previous Kaiyang Star was killed in battle alone, and his body was lost under Shimen and was never brought back.
Of the many Thousand Rocks Army and Knights of Favonius who entered the mysterious cave at that time, only two escaped back. One was Grand Commander Falga, and the other was the current head of the Wangsheng Hall.
According to the testimony of many soldiers at the scene, the two men fainted as they ran out of strength when escaping the cave.
What followed was the invasion of monsters possessed by the devil's resentment, and the soldiers from Dihuazhou came to support. Su Ping fought the powerful enemy alone, and after the 40,000 soldiers arrived, they united as one to fight against the monsters.
There was a hint of sadness in Su Ping's eyes. He had heard Ningguang talk about the regret of his unfortunate death when he took over Kaiyang Star. Even though he was still disappointed at the moment, he was full of fighting spirit and determined to keep this position well and not let this predecessor down.
He adjusted his mood, his eyes sparkling, and asked, "The instigator behind the scenes is still unknown. Is there no actual evidence?"
Tianshuxing sighed and said helplessly: "Everyone knows who it is, but there is a lack of direct evidence. Even if everyone knows it, there is no way to stop it, Yuan..."
Tian Xuanxing said indignantly: "They have always been like this. They cause trouble to one side and do not leave any direct evidence afterwards. If they want to send troops to fight, they have no reason to do so and will be attacked by everyone. They are really vicious!"
Su Ping clenched his right hand, with endless anger rising. He did not mention the fact that he had met the captain. After all, everyone present knew about this. If it could be used as a reason to start a war, they would have led the troops to the battle long ago. There would be no need to hold a Seven Star Conference.
why?
Because Su Ping is from Liyue and a member of the Thousand Rocks Army. He said that the person who stopped him was the captain, which is the same as the Liyue people calling the Rock King the God of War.
If people in other countries do not believe it, then even if our own people believe in it, the hard evidence is just nonsense and has no effect at all.
Su Ping continued, "The summary does not specify the culprit. I guess that the Grand Commander Falga and Hall Master Hu were not able to see the real culprit with their own eyes, right?"
Yao Guangxing replied: "That's true, otherwise there would be no need to discuss this matter any further, we could just move camp, open warehouses and march forward, but the real culprit is too... cunning!"
When he spoke the last words, he gritted his teeth and lost his gentle temperament, which showed how heartbroken and disgusted he was about this matter.
The previous Tianquan Star had not yet left the conference room. She slowly said: "The person is gone. Since there is no progress on this matter, we should think about the future development and not... repeat the same mistakes!"
The previous Yuheng Star also enlightened a few people and gave some advice to his successor, "As a Yuheng Star, you should deeply understand the people's sentiments, speak honestly and have a righteous heart. If you have something to say, don't be polite, just say it!"
The previous Tianquanxing also gave instructions, "The Tianquan position is in charge of the law, and what you do must be comprehensive and not biased towards any party. It is your duty to treat everyone equally!"
Ningguang and Keqing are both new employees. There are some things they are unfamiliar with, but not many. Because they are good enough and have learned in advance, they can handle it with ease.
As for Su Ping, who was also a newcomer, there was no one to guide him, so he could only explore on his own. However, the words and deeds of the previous Kai Yangxing were enough for him to benefit from in his life.
"The second Fatui executive officer, codenamed Doctor, Dotore. He is the most notorious person among the Fatui, and also a highly intelligent researcher who often conducts human experiments..."
During the meeting, as a military attaché, Su Ping did not participate in the discussion, but went over the information about the murderer in his mind. After all, the captain had said that at the beginning. If he couldn't figure out the truth, he might not be worthy of being the Kaiyang Star.
……
After the meeting, Su Ping did not go far. He followed the four generals of the Qianyan Army and the previous Tianquan Star to the Martyrs Cemetery to pay homage.
The object of worship is the previous Kaiyang Xing Gu Feng. He served the country and the people wholeheartedly, but in the end, his body was nowhere to be found. This is really regrettable and sad.
In front of the tombstone that looked no different from the rest of the soldiers, except that the epitaph had an additional sentence "all the previous Kaiyang Stars", Su Ping poured three bowls of wine in his honor, which was the "heart-breaking" wine popular in the army.
The four generals were watching from the side. They had seen the performance of this young boy since he joined the army and believed that he would have no problem taking on this important task.
They are also old, with white hair, but they are all very strong, without any hunchbacks, and are in very good spirits. They are all characters like Gu Feng.
The previous Tianquan Star, this graceful old lady, whose black hair had long since turned white, stood in front of the tombstone and could only sigh.
She looked at the epitaphs of all the successive Kaiyang Stars, then glanced at the young man who held the position, and after hesitating, she finally spoke.
"In ancient times, every tombstone of the Seven Stars would leave a line like this, without mentioning which one it was, the era or achievements, but only clearly stating that it was the Seven Stars. Do you know why?"
Although Su Ping had not done any homework in this area, he had been around the existence of this level and had been somewhat influenced by it. He had some understanding of similar things and immediately replied: "If you don't leave your achievements in front of your grave, your mistakes will be recorded in the history books."
"That's right." The previous Tianquanxing nodded and continued, "When he was alive, he was working hard for the great cause of Dawn. If he couldn't rest in peace after death, it would be inhumane. So generally here, we don't talk about state affairs, but only about family matters. Of course, the premise is that people like you and me come."
This old lady, who was once so powerful, was now very kind, just like the grandmother that could be seen everywhere on the street, gentle and indifferent.
"The last Kaiyang Star... Gu Feng actually had a wish that was not fulfilled until his death. If I am not mistaken, that wish must have been a hurdle that he had been unable to overcome since he joined the army. It was also a golden rule that he could not change despite his countless efforts!"
Su Ping was surprised, and so were the other four generals. One of them even spoke out to stop her, "Old sister, there's no need to say this, right?"
After hearing this title, the old lady, who used to be able to stir up a huge wave with just a breath, just shook her head slightly and said lightly: "He won't mind. He never minds anything I do."
"This..." The general with a goatee looked embarrassed. Even he, who was the ruler of a region, had such an expression. It was conceivable that this was the hidden secret of the older generation.
Su Ping noticed that the expressions of the few people were different. He considered his words carefully and said, "Seniors, if this is a family matter that is really difficult to talk about, should I avoid it?"
This seemingly reckless statement actually played into the hands of several people, because it put the initiative in their hands. Besides, they have reached this position and there is no need to pretend to be nice. What else can they do?
Of course the old woman asked him to stay. "I was originally telling you this. If you leave, what else is there to tell you?"
Then she turned to look at the old man and said, "Many years have passed, and it's not something shameful. Why can't we talk about it?"
The four generals were stunned for a moment, then lowered their heads, looked at their noses and their hearts, practicing silent meditation, and remained silent.
Who could have thought that the four great generals of the Qianyan Army could be ordered like this by a single word? If it were to get out, it would probably become a topic of conversation for others after dinner, and they would bring it up from time to time to make people happy.
Fortunately, the place was still quite solemn and dignified, and everyone was busy with their own things, so no one paid attention to what was happening here. They were just puzzled as to why the four big men bowed their heads.
The four generals who failed to successfully stop all this hung their heads, feeling a little ashamed. After all, whenever they wanted to mention that matter in the past, they would inevitably be scolded by Gu Feng.
But just as the old woman said, no matter what she did, she was never hindered by Gu Feng. The latter always went along with her, and there had never been any arguments except on matters of family and country.
The old woman spoke slowly, "After joining the army, Gu Feng was extremely brave and fearless, which allowed him to be promoted very quickly. His prestige can be said to be increasing day by day, but few people know that he, who is as bold as a tiger, actually has a sister at home.
Most of his martial arts were learned from his sister. He even said that his perseverance was influenced by his sister. However, his sister, who was extremely talented, could not join the army because the rules that had been in place for thousands of years were indeed difficult to shake.
From then on, in addition to defending his country, Gu Feng also had a little selfish desire in his heart to change the old system. It was a pity that the result of previous discussions was not ideal. It was extremely difficult to reform at that time, and the system did not change, and it failed completely.
It was not easy for him to survive until the current era of prosperity and development of all walks of life and cultural thought, but he passed away first and was unable to fulfill his wish! "
Su Ping looked at the old woman and said, "So, Senior, you want me to change the old system and fulfill the commander-in-chief's last wish?"
The old woman nodded slightly and said, "Yes, only young people like you can make changes. We are already old and have no power."
Su Ping's face was firm, and he assured: "Don't worry, senior, I will do my best to complete it. I also believe that the commander-in-chief will be very pleased after knowing this."
The old woman asked, "How do you know he will be pleased?"
Su Ping said: "Since I was a child, I have been surrounded by people like sisters. I have also made many sacrifices for them. I must be happy to know that my efforts are seen by others."
The old woman opened her mouth slightly, "Who said I'm his sister?"
