Protagonist:

Xuan Ge

"General Shen Wei, what is the meaning of this?"

Rustam and Alan Delin were bound hand and foot and locked to one side; the Liyue Xianzhong Yasha held their chains tightly, and they could not move in the slightest.

"What meaning would this General have? I simply want to kill people."

Hearing Xuan Ge's words, the two's originally desperate struggling movements also paused slightly.

In order to wait for Xuan Ge to finish picking up women, they had waited a full three days inside the city, and by the time Xuan Ge returned the sky was already completely dark.

All the restaurants had closed their doors, the Knights of Favonius had nothing good to offer by way of hospitality, so they simply invited Xuan Ge into the tavern.

But as luck would have it, a drunken nobleman happened to stumble over to Xuan Ge's side.

That man not only spoke mocking words, but also wanted Xuan Ge to hand over Rosalind, and even poured a whole cup of alcohol directly onto Xuan Ge's head.

The two knew this nobleman was famous for his lechery; that nobleman had always had designs on Rosalind.

Had Rosalind not returned home on time, usually only singing in the square and the Cathedral of the West Wind, she truly would have been subjected to his unspoken rules.

Alan Delin still struggled once: "Xuan Ge, according to the law, this falls under diplomacy; if you want to kill someone, you need sufficient reason."

As the Grand Master of the Knights of Favonius, if he remained silent at this moment, he would truly lose all face and lose his prestige.

But he also knew that Xuan Ge truly intended to kill, because the Shen Wu Army had already taken Mondstadt down.

The Knights of Favonius hadn't even held out for an hour.

Now the Knights of Favonius have no knights, only the Shen Wu Army; the important posts of the outer city defenses are the same, all are Shen Wu Army.

"Alan Delin, you've misunderstood one point: I am not merely the General Shen Wei."

Xuan Ge warned him once; the current him is a complete entity, not the Shen Wei who leads troops on campaign.

"What do you mean?" Alan Delin frowned, he did not understand Xuan Ge's words.

Not the General Shen Wei, then the other one is Tianquan Star, right?

Could there be yet another identity?

The Geo Archon's illegitimate child?

"Bring everyone up." Xuan Ge signaled Fu She, then waited quietly.

"Wait!" Alan Delin spoke up: "What everyone? Xuan Ge, what exactly do you want to do?"

With a sharp *pa*, a resounding slap echoed in the Knights of Favonius grand hall.

Alan Delin glanced at the fiery-red Yasha beside him, then disregarded this palm and continued trying to speak.

"Truly annoying." Ying Da was somewhat impatient, then tore off a strip of Rustam's sleeve and stuffed it into Alan Delin's mouth.

Xuan Ge signaled Ying Da not to let Rustam off.

Ying Da looked at Xuan Ge and smiled sweetly, then instantly changed expression to look at Rustam, and tore off the sleeve from his other arm to stuff his mouth.

Before long, people of all shapes and colors, a motley crew, were all brought up bound.

Alan Delin looked over and nearly died of fright.

"Mmph mph mph!!"

Alan Delin grew anxious now, because these people were Mondstadt's nobles, and all of them, regardless of rank.

Even the fallen noble Lawrence was caught and brought here.

Upon entering the hall someone was so scared they wet their pants, and there were even disobedient ones who had their legs broken.

"Ge... General, I... I haven't left my door recently..."

"Ye... yes, General... I only do small business..."

Xuan Ge waved his hand, signaling them to be quiet.

The surrounding Shen Wu Army received the order and immediately leveled their spear tips at their shoulders, physically silencing them.

"Bring the protagonist up." Xuan Ge signaled that the protagonist could make his entrance.

"Yes!" The Shen Wu Army at the door acknowledged, then opened the hall doors.

Immediately after, Fu She entered leading a deer with his left hand and dragging a half-dead noble with his right.

"Th... this is Qie Gesi who doesn't do foreign trade?"

Someone recognized this man at a glance, then seeing his four limbs broken, instantly realized this matter was caused by him.

Xuan Ge saw Qie Gesi enter and not say a word, not even beg for mercy; he guessed Qie Gesi wanted to protect his family.

After all, more words more mistakes, fewer words fewer mistakes, saying nothing is the best response.

But.....

Can that really protect them?

"Qie Gesi, you are too naive; don't you know 'the lotus root breaks but the fibers remain connected'?"

Xuan Ge smiled faintly; in Qie Gesi's eyes it was like a demon; then he looked toward Ying Da, signaling her to let Alan Delin speak.

"Alan Delin, though you are the Grand Master, you also need balance."

"Xuan Ge.... what do you want to do?" Alan Delin did not understand what Xuan Ge leading a deer meant, but he knew this man's wrist was not simple.

"State Qie Gesi's crimes; don't tell me you don't know." Xuan Ge raised a hand in salute, signaling Alan Delin to perform.

"E... evil demon." Qie Gesi trembled like a sieve.

"Xuan Ge, must you exterminate them utterly?" Alan Delin's eyes showed cold light; he hadn't expected Xuan Ge to be this ruthless.

"Don't make your Xuan Ge laugh; the General Shen Wei is no good person."

Pausing, Xuan Ge looked at everyone: "As long as they live, I can't sleep."

One general's success is built on ten thousand withered bones; he had long since shed these so-called shackles.

Moreover, he is the Emperor; right now, it already counts as him swallowing this anger.

Otherwise, if it were Bai Qi, should anyone see him have wine poured over his head and be mocked, he would exterminate everyone.

Xuan Ge's words fell in the Knights of Favonius hall, echoing for a long time.

"General!!"

Just as Alan Delin was wavering on his moral bottom line, a person stepped forward.

"Insolence!" Shen Wu Corps moved to suppress him.

"Wait." Xuan Ge raised his hand, signaling the Shen Wu Corps to withdraw, then looked at this person: "Do you have something you want to say?"

"Lord General!"

That person first kowtowed heavily, a loud thud, his forehead bleeding; this sight stunned Xuan Ge for a moment.

"I am the Lawrence Clan Zhang Zhang; I want to report Qie Gesi for abducting children!"

Alan Delin: It's over....

He knew the moment these words came out, Qie Gesi's whole family was basically finished.

He hadn't uncovered this matter yet, but clues indeed had some connection to Qie Gesi.

The reason he hesitated on his moral bottom line was because the Qie Gesi Family counted as a fairly major one in Mondstadt, and not long ago they had just entered a political marriage with other nobles.

If going by Xuan Ge's ruthless personality, afraid not a single one would be spared, and it would even implicate others.

If that happened, it would truly be collective punishment.

"Continue." Xuan Ge put away his smile, looking coldly at this Lawrence.

"Yes!" Lawrence, under the General's gaze, nearly had his heart jump out of his chest, "The Qie Gesi Family opened an orphanage outside; previously when my clan's caravan passed by, they happened to see a cartload of children being taken away."

"You... bullshit!" Qie Gesi panicked; how could this damn fallen noble be so able to cause trouble.

"Words without proof; I will not believe just on that."

Xuan Ge did not directly believe him, but gave Lawrence a prompt.

As long as evidence is produced, if he doesn't die, count it as the Xianzhou Emperor reneging.

"General, the Lawrence Clan, though declined, still needs servants, so the orphans from the Qie Gesi orphanage would come here to work."

"Xiao." Xuan Ge signaled, having Xiao go find the evidence.

The Lawrence Zhang Zhang relaxed; he counted as having hitched a single hair to the divine might's celestial ship.

"Yes!" Xiao cupped his fist in salute, then led the Lawrence Zhang Zhang disappearing from this grand hall.

With Xiao gone, someone couldn't sit still.

A somewhat fat man stepped out: "General, General! My family does clothing; I truly know nothing of this matter."

"Shh~" Xuan Ge extended his index finger, pressing it to his lips, "Don't rush; I will enforce the law impartially."

"Y... yes..." that noble swallowed hard; right now he sought nothing, only begging the General to spare his family.
