Genshin Impact, the new God of Grass, makes Xumi great again

"Don't worry, just listen to me. When I give the order, everyone follow me to rush into Yujing Terrace and disarm everyone inside."

Finding that the two still seemed to be hesitant to talk, Walnut patted his chest hard, giving people a very confident feeling.

She had finally gotten the command of this operation, so she had to make good use of it and try to leave an important mark in the history of Liyue, so that the guest official who left her a letter and went to Dihuazhou would take a good look at it!

Humph, he just kept saying things like, for the sake of the people of the world, how extremely dangerous it was this time, yet he kept it a secret and didn't let her go with him.

So this time she would try to see how dangerous this so-called war between demons and gods is!

Thinking of this, Kurumi snorted and simply stopped paying attention to the traveling duo. She picked up the Homa and ran back to the alley entrance.

"Traveler, look at what Walnut has said, let's just forget about it this time..."

Scratching his head awkwardly, Paimon turned to look at Ying. When he found that the other person had the same expression as him, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to the direction where Walnut left.

"Hey, there's no time to lose. Let's hurry up and catch up. Calculating the time, we should start taking action right now."

After saying that, Paimon dodged Ying's clutches and flew quickly towards the Qianyan Army in front.

Seeing this, Ying had to give up the idea and followed Paimeng with his edgeless sword in hand.

Along the way, while following Paimon, she did not forget to look at the other companions who participated in the operation with her.

At this moment, this small alley was crowded with combatants holding various weapons.

In addition to some Thousand Rocks soldiers who are loyal to Ningguang, there are also other people from different forces who are determined to support Ningguang to come to power.

For example, the servants of the Wangsheng Hall brought by Hu Tao, and the group of owners of the Eye of God wearing various costumes.

Xiangling, Chongyun, Yanfei, Yunjin...all those who were related to her, or in other words, all those who were holders of the Eye of God and related to Ningguang, all picked up their weapons and ran over. It was truly an all-star lineup.

The last time she saw this kind of scene was when Osel invaded. Plus, there are also the Liyue navy and Xumi reinforcements under Ningguang’s command in the outer sea...

When I think about it this way, it seems that what Paimeng said makes sense. They are safe this time, so what are they afraid of?

Just as Nashida had told her before they set off, Liyue Harbor was now a dilapidated house that would collapse with just a light kick.

...

As the sun gradually rises, Liyue Harbor welcomes a new day.

Even during this period of time, due to the impact of the war, Liyue Port is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and the population has been greatly reduced due to the departure of immortals and major forces.

However, as it has always been the core city of Liyue, many people eventually chose to stay in the city. Among them were some forces left behind by the aristocratic families that had already left, as well as many ordinary people who simply could not leave for their livelihoods.

Therefore, in order to maintain the basic operation of the city, the major functional agencies in Liyue Port are still maintaining a minimum level of work.

For example, today, when the bell of Chenshi rang, the civil servants of Liyue Port Authority went to the dock as usual and started another day of work.

But soon after they arrived at the office building, before they could even sit down, a loud noise coming from the direction of the open sea directly broke the tranquility of the early morning.

By the time they reacted and looked out from the windows, they were surprised to find that a huge fleet had suddenly appeared outside Liyue Harbor and was speeding towards it.

The loud noise just now came from the main gun of the leading steel battleship, which was still smoking.

The next moment, shouts of killing resounded all around them, instantly covering the entire Liyue Harbor.

Chapter 182: Leverage

In an office in Yujingtai, an old man in plain clothes was looking through the windowsill, silently watching everything happening outside the window.

Following his gaze, looking outside, the once prosperous and peaceful Liyue Harbor had now fallen into unprecedented chaos due to the arrival of this uninvited guest.

Faced with this sudden change, the citizens of Liyue Harbor were completely unprepared and were immediately at a loss as to what to do.

Noise, crying, yelling... appeared in every corner of Liyue Harbor in an instant, and together with the shouts and cries of killing that were heard everywhere, they played a piece of music called "Change".

"So, this is your choice?"

After a long silence, listening to the footsteps gradually approaching him, the old man sighed, turned around and sat back in the chair in his office.

As one of the Seven Stars of Liyue, he has already made his own judgment on everything that is happening.

It's just that the two little girls made up their minds and finally decided to mobilize their own forces and join the game.

As for this so-called "rebellion", the old man's attitude can be summed up in one word - show off.

Anyway, he is just an old man who is about to retire. Only now that the other seven stars have run away, he comes here to help preside over the situation.

He is not the commander of the Liyue Harbor Garrison Command, and there are no tanks for him to send, so why should he care about this matter?

Next, he didn't need to do anything, just stay here and wait for the end of this coup.

"Boom boom boom!"

Sure enough, he didn't have to wait long. Accompanied by a burst of hurried footsteps, someone knocked on the office door.

"Please come in."

After tidying up his clothes and adjusting his expression to make sure everything was okay, the old man asked the person outside to come in.

This office was originally used by his sister Ganyu, so he couldn't let other people mess around. Even though he trusted Ningguang very much, he still had to create a serious atmosphere in advance.

"Hello, Uncle Tian. We have returned from Xumi."

But the person behind the door was not Ningguang or Keqing as he had imagined, but the famous traveler and her emergency food.

But soon, Uncle Tian noticed the looming figures behind them, coupled with the solemn and murderous aura unique to soldiers, it was obvious that Ying and Paimeng were definitely not coming to him to reminisce about the past.

"But Uncle Tian, ​​you didn't go fishing today? That's really strange."

Noticing Uncle Tian's gaze, Ying considerately closed the office door again and just watched the interaction between Paimeng and Uncle Tian silently from the side.

Given their relationship with Uncle Tian, ​​and the fact that they came here on Ningguang's orders, a peaceful solution should not be a problem. There is no need to make the atmosphere so stiff.

But secretly, Ying still kept a wary eye on this. After all, no matter what, they were here to stage a coup, and Uncle Tian was their theoretical target of the coup, so even if their relationship had been good before, they still had to be careful.

"Haha, we can't go fishing every day all year round. We Liyue people value harmony. I caught a fish yesterday, so I can't go fishing today."

Without paying attention to Ying's somewhat unnatural expression, Uncle Tian enthusiastically took over Paimeng's topic and talked to her about fishing.

Faced with Ying's excessive caution, Uncle Tian proved with his actions that her worries were completely unnecessary.

As they chatted, the topic even turned to "One Hundred and Seventy-three Ways to Eat Fish", which was something that Paimon was obviously interested in, and she nodded continuously.

"Uncle Tian, ​​it's getting late. We can talk about this topic later. Ningguang has been waiting for you in the Jade Pavilion for a long time."

Seeing that Paimon wanted to continue, and even took out a small notebook to start recording the recipes that Uncle Tian mentioned, Ying directly pulled Paimon back and ended the topic.

Since Uncle Tian is so cooperative, there is no need to continue going around in circles. Just take him away directly.

"Okay, okay, let me clean it up. This office belongs to Sister Ganyu. It can't be so messy..."

...

"Lord Ningguang, Lord Beidou's fleet has successfully landed, and all the important places in the city, including Yujingtai, are now under our control..."

Standing on the edge of the Jade Pavilion, listening to the report from the Qianyan Army beside her, and looking at the Liyue Harbor below which had returned to peace from chaos, Ningguang smiled for the first time in a long time.

From the beginning of the plan to now, everything has been going very smoothly. There has been almost no resistance, and her loyal soldiers have already taken control of the entire Liyue Harbor.

As for those members of the noble families who stayed behind, they were the ones who were under close surveillance from the very beginning. Before they could react, they were directly captured by a large group of big men and became her prisoners.

After such a massive armed parade, she had completely wiped out all opposition to her in Liyue Harbor.

"Congratulations Ningguang, it looks like you are one step closer to becoming the Rock God."

After sending away the soldiers who came to report the situation, Ningguang turned around and returned to the Jade Pavilion. But before she could take a break, a voice that she was extremely familiar with during this period of time sounded from the side.

Turning her head, she saw a small figure suddenly appear on the other side of her desk, which was empty just now.

"This is all thanks to the help of Lord Grass God. Without Lord Grass God's planning, I would definitely not be able to achieve such perfection."

In response to Nashida's congratulations, Ningguang lowered her head slightly, acting very modestly.

But her words did not show unlimited humility, but rather a sense of neither servility nor arrogance.

This made Nashida very satisfied. For a character like Ningguang who was both ambitious and capable, it would not be a good thing if the other party was always humble to her.

This mode of respect with a hint of caution, closeness but maintaining a certain distance, is the best way to get along with others.

"But you must also remember that Liyue is always the Liyue of the Liyue people. Xumi will never interfere directly with Liyue's civil war at an official level. At most, it can provide you with some volunteer troops and material assistance, just like this time."

This point must be made clear. Even if she chooses Ningguang as her agent in Liyue, Nashida will not cross this bottom line.

She didn't want to hear "Good Morning Liyue", nor did she want the soldiers who followed her in the revolution to face any talking trees.

All she wanted was to find a force willing to cooperate with her and provide support in terms of personnel and materials, just like other countries that had already taken more or less action.

If it weren't for Ningguang's repeated requests, she would not have planned to send Seno and others over this time. Even if she sent them now, they were invited to enter Liyue in the name of volunteers to help maintain peace.

"Of course. From now on, I will not allow your personnel to participate in the battle. They only need to help maintain order in Liyue Harbor."

Ningguang certainly understood this truth and made a direct promise.

Her positioning of this volunteer army is really just a group of volunteers who can use weapons. They are not required to do anything on a daily basis. They just need to perform non-combat tasks such as maintaining public order and training the army.

For her, the very existence of this army in Liyue Harbor is the greatest value they can bring.

Unlike those aristocratic families, Ningguang does not have their deep-rooted relationships and power. Her greatest asset is simply the reputation she has accumulated since she became the mayor of Tianquan Star.

If she really wanted to be like those aristocratic families and easily gather a large group of people, she still couldn't do it for the time being.

Therefore, whether she is trying to unite others or being united by others to attract people to come to her, she must improve her strength in the eyes of others.

Therefore, in the early stages of her business, she had to cling tightly to Nashida's thigh, rub against it hard, and make the most of everything she could provide.

Even if the other party publicly stated that they would not interfere in Liyue’s internal affairs, as long as there was such an army here, no matter how small the number of people in this army was, it was already a statement.

By making good use of this statement, she would have the capital to mediate between various forces and make everyone pay attention to her.

As for whether this would lead to a joint attack against her by other forces, it can only be said that it is unnecessary.

She didn't believe that other forces had not accepted foreign aid. Everyone had dirty tricks. It was just that she used Liyue Harbor as her territory, which might make her a little more conspicuous.

As long as Xumi doesn't really invade on a large scale, this favor from foreign gods will actually become an advantage for her.

Chapter 183 Future Route

"Since you already know the answer, I won't ask any more questions."

Seeing Ningguang's confident look, Nashida nodded slightly, expressing her approval.

Trust is a mutual process. Ningguang had already said this, so it would not be appropriate for her to ask any more questions.

"So after Liyue Harbor is stabilized, what are your plans next? Can you share them with me?"

Leaning against the edge of the table and stepping on the emerald green grass element key, Nashida tiptoed to sit on the corner of the desk.

Turning around, Nashida looked down at Ningguang in front of her with a condescending attitude. Her expression was solemn, no longer as relaxed as before.

"Ahem, of course there is no problem. After we fully control Liyue Harbor, the next step is..."

Facing Nashida, Ningguang naturally would not hide anything and directly told her all her next plans.

The most important of these is undoubtedly Ningguang's political program, that is, what kind of country system she wants to establish and what interests this country will represent.

“The new Liyue should not be a lifeless Liyue controlled only by aristocratic families.”

As we all know, Liyue is a country of contracts, but it is also a country controlled by aristocratic families.

It can even be said that all the difficulties Liyue is currently facing can be traced back to the extreme class solidification caused by the monopoly of the aristocratic families.

During these thousand years, Liyue seemed to have been developing forward, but in reality, the benefits of the country's development had never reached the vast majority of working people at the bottom of society, but were all divided up by the so-called aristocratic families.

This is an irreconcilable contradiction, and with the further development of the times and the continuous progress of productivity, this contradiction is deepening and becoming more acute.

In such an extreme environment, if Liyue was not a country with gods and its people lacked correct theoretical guidance, Liyue would have been turned upside down long before today.

But unfortunately, due to the limitations of cognition and social and historical conditions, and the fact that the Liyue authorities continued to use the name of "contract" to confuse the people, this change that should have happened did not happen after all.

Under their united resistance, even though a revolution had taken place in Xumi next door and even though Emperor Rock King had initiated corresponding reforms, the situation remained unchanged.

Through thousands of years of repeated propaganda, their ideas have been deeply imprinted in the minds of the Liyue people. And through thousands of years of ruling, they have completely monopolized Liyue's state apparatus and formed a powerful community of interests.

This is also the fundamental reason why after two years of attempts, Emperor Geo's reforms have had little effect.

As the saying goes, touching interests is more difficult than touching the soul. Faced with reform measures that harm their own interests, even if it is a direct order from God, these families still dare to unite and disobey it.

The reason is very simple. The Geo King does not have enough mass base in Liyue.

This may be an incredible thing. Everyone knows the reputation of Geo King among the people of Liyue. How could he not have a mass base?

This does not mean that the people of Liyue really do not support Geo King, but because the aristocratic families have long monopolized the Liyue state apparatus, Geo King is unable to govern Liyue effectively.
