She is the acting leader, but Fang Yun is not the "acting Raikage", he is now the real leader of Inazuma.
Long before coming to Inazuma, Qin had heard many rumors about Fang Yun and knew that he was a disciple of a god. He challenged Master General Lei Dian at Inazuma's most desperate moment, and crucially, he actually defeated him, allowing Inazuma to get back on track.
But this was just the beginning. After he came to power, many of Inazuma's difficulties were solved, from the historical issues left over from Umijima to Inazuma's economy and people's livelihood. In terms of diplomacy, he also changed from an orphan to a core connecting various countries.
Although Qin had some complaints about Fang Yun's way of expanding his influence by "connecting" with high-ranking foreign women, putting that aside, she still admired Fang Yun's abilities.
Qin felt that she benefited a lot just by watching him handle government affairs. If she could get his one-on-one guidance, Qin felt that she might be able to accomplish more work.
She sat back in her chair, ready to learn from Fang Yun.
As a fellow agricultural country, she feels that Inazuma's development is of great reference value to Mond.
Seeing Qin's look, Fang Yun rubbed his eyebrows.
"How hard you work reminds me of someone. You two are quite similar, but she works overtime even more than you do."
"There are actually people like this? Doesn't she need to sleep? This is bad for her health."
Qin was very surprised, but also felt a sense of joy as if she had found a companion. Didn't this prove that her idea was correct?
But what she was greeted with was Fang Yun's contempt.
"You also know that this is bad for your health, right?"
"Well, of course I understand, but the work... the work hasn't been completed yet, can I really rest early?"
Fang Yun slowly typed a question mark and stared at Qin's face for a long time.
Aunt Jizi...ahem, no, Ganyu, is that you?
Byd, you two are really the same person. Your voice is the same, right?
Based on Qin's answer, he suspected that he would believe whatever Qin said in a while, "Fang Yun, don't look back, I am Ganyu."
"I'm talking about Ganyu, the secretary of Liyue Seven Stars. You should know her." Fang Yun shook his head slightly.
"It turns out to be Ganyu... No wonder I felt a little familiar with her." Qin's eyes were filled with thought. She and Ganyu had never met each other, but she always felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy with her, just like a sister.
Her face was gloomy: "I don't have the blood of an immortal, so I can't persist like her."
"No, do you really think this is a good thing? And you don't have to learn from her. She uses work to maintain herself and wants to find an identity that she can rely on in Liyue Harbor. But she has figured it out now. She is a human in Liyue and an immortal in Jueyunjian." Fang Yun's tone suddenly became serious.
"So, why do you care so much about your work? Is it responsibility? Is it honor? Or is it a shackle?"
Although she had just answered this question, Qin fell into deep thought again.
Is it really wrong for her to be so busy?
She thought Ganyu and she shared the same ideals, but she didn't expect that Ganyu was wrong because of her misunderstanding. So...what about herself? Is the chivalry spirit inherited by the Gunhild family wrong?
"There's nothing wrong with the spirit of a knight, but your identity is wrong." Fang Yun pointed out the problem. "If you were just one of those ordinary knights who came with us today, the harm you caused would be less. But now you are Mondstadt's acting leader. You have done everything by yourself. What do you want others to do?"
"But...I just want to help everyone as much as I can."
Fang Yun was amused by her: "I heard from Ying that you didn't approve Noelle to join the Knights because you thought she was not mature enough? In fact, what is the difference between you and her?"
Qin wanted to retort, but when the words came to her lips she found that it was true.
"You asked me why I handle government affairs so quickly... Have you noticed that I am only responsible for controlling the general direction?" Fang Yun casually picked up a few documents from the table and handed them to her. "If I were like you, I would have to do things like finding cats and dogs, helping residents find keys, and transporting slime balloons. How long would I be busy? Besides, these things are not your job, right?"
Qin was speechless. There wasn't much work for the acting leader. When she fainted that day, Yingmei and the others were helping with small things like this.
"You are the acting leader. You focus your energy on such trivial matters. Do you think this will really help Mond?"
"I know these are small things, but since I became the acting head of the group, I have very little work to do. I am idle in the office. Isn't this also a waste?"
Fang Yun finally understood Qin's thoughts.
"It seems that you really don't understand the difference between an acting leader and an ordinary knight." Fang Yun sighed, "You are now a manager, and you can barely be considered the Knight King of Mondstadt. What you should do is to guide the people of Mondstadt to the right track and develop independently, not to do everything by yourself. Do you understand?"
He was almost laughing at Jean's anger. If the old man had not nominally passed away, Fang Yun would have wanted to drag the [Oldest King] Zhongli to Inazuma to torture Jean, the Knight King, together.
Forget it, let the Great Compassion Tree King tie her up and put her in a mugwort suit.
Qin didn't expect that Fang Yun would eventually torture her for her kingly ways, and she couldn't help but look stunned.
She quickly shook her head again: "Mondstadt has been without a king for a long time... I know what you mean, but when I see that the people of Mondstadt are in need of help, how can I not lend a helping hand?"
"Have you ever thought that this should be the responsibility of other knights? I am not blaming all the problems in Mondstadt on you. Things like Tevarin and the discipline of the Knights have their roots, but your behavior has accelerated the pace of the giant baby."
"You have only been in office for less than a year, so you may not see much progress. But what if you continue like this? The people of Mondstadt and the other Knights of Favonius will become increasingly lazy, and by then they will not be able to do anything."
If Jean was just an ordinary knight, no matter how enthusiastically she worked, she would be nothing more than an enhanced version of Amber. But now she and Noelle have made the entire Mondstadt lazy.
Qin's face was shocked when she heard this, as if she realized something.
But she still didn't want to believe it: "The idea of giant babies is a bit exaggerated. I think everyone in the Knights is still very good, but they just haven't been able to show it..."
Qin wanted to continue speaking, but her expression suddenly changed. She heard the maid's voice outside the door.
"Your Highness Fang Yun, Miss Barbara, the prayer minister of the West Wind Church, wants to see you for something."
"Barbara? Let her in."
Fang Yun didn't think much about it, but Ke Qin reacted greatly. She looked around quickly in his surprised eyes, and her gaze hesitated for a moment at the bottom of Fang Yun's desk and the curtains in the corner, and finally ran to the corner of the room.
No, why are you hiding?
Fang Yun didn't quite understand what Qin meant. He had a hunch that if he had reached out and pressed Qin under the table, she would have really stayed there.
But he did not expose Qin's plan. After Barbara knocked on the door and entered, Fang Yun turned around and looked at the cute girl in a white dress.
Just like Jean, he had not been able to appreciate Barbara's true charm because of the distance between them...the pair of legs wrapped in white stockings had beautiful curves, no wonder everyone was staring at the sisters when the server was launched.
However, although a girl like Barbara who can hold it up is very cute, Fang Yun still prefers a mature woman who can carry it up.
He quickly retracted his gaze: "What's wrong? Barbara?"
Barbara looked at him timidly, then looked around the room. After confirming that no one was around, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uh... Your Highness Fang Yun, I'm here to apologize to my sister."
"Apologize?" Fang Yun was stunned.
Barbara nodded, "Yes, my sister's personality is rather... well, stubborn. She didn't mean to compete with you, but because she wanted to protect everyone."
"Stubborn? Protective? So you think there's something wrong with the Knights Order?" Fang Yun looked at her with interest and glanced at the corner.
Barbara saw that Fang Yun was not the grumpy old man she had thought before, but looked handsome and gentle, which made her bolder.
She nodded and said, "Yes, I also feel that there is something wrong with the Knights. Even if they want to pursue freedom, they can't bring trouble to others. Even jobs like guarding the city gates and keeping watch can be delayed due to drinking. To say that they are fulfilling their responsibilities is too unfair to people like Amber and Eula who are really working hard."
"That's great. I thought you would treat the people of Mondstadt as babies like your sister does."
"Sister...well, sister is actually very gentle. She can't just sit there and watch someone need help."
Fang Yun was a little surprised that Barbara actually guessed Qin's thoughts.
"You care about your sister, but why didn't you two say a word to each other before?"
"Is...is there? I don't know my sister well enough."
Barbara blushed slightly and subconsciously pinched the hem of her skirt. She was clumsy and always didn't know how to talk to her sister.
Being stared at by Fang Yun like this, she felt a little shy. She whispered a few more words and then left.
After she closed the door, Fang Yun shook his head and looked towards the corner of the room.
Qin quietly poked her head out with a complicated expression.
"Why are you hiding from her? We haven't done anything inconvenient for her to see."
"I...I want to hear what Barbara really thinks. If I'm in the room, she might be speechless."
Qin shook her head. She certainly understood that her current relationship with Fang Yun was not enough for her to crawl under the table and watch her sister Barbara interact with Fang Yun.
This level of adjustment would require the female knight to be injected with magic power and transformed, right?
She had never been able to communicate with Barbara and wanted to know what she thought of her.
"Haven't you realized that you two sisters actually know each other very well? You can even guess each other's thoughts." Fang Yun smiled. The two of them were just too clumsy and no one took the initiative to speak.
Qin's expression was a little complicated. She was pleased that Barbara cared about her so much, but she was also a little distressed that Barbara and she had different ideas.
Was she really wrong?
Fang Yun could see her thoughts. He rubbed his wrist and said, "I won't use Barbara to criticize you. How about we make a bet?"
"what?"
"You think you are right and that everyone in the Knights is excellent, right? Then prove it?"
"How do you want to prove it?"
"You introduced them at the banquet. Those knights are responsible for the economic cooperation of the Knights. They will also be the ones to connect with the officials of the Kanjo Bugyo, right?"
Qin nodded slightly, but added, "That's true, but you and I will be there tomorrow, too."
"Of course, you and I must discuss the general direction, but after we have finished discussing, you cannot interfere. Let them complete their own work." Fang Yun said calmly, "If they can complete it smoothly, then I was wrong. I will apologize to you, but if you are wrong..."
Qin bit her lip lightly. After hearing what Fang Yun and Barbara said about her, she had begun to waver and wanted to verify it.
But what conditions did Fang Yun want to propose? She thought of Fang Yun's enjoyment when he touched the soul of the Knights just now, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
However, Fang Yun's boldness still exceeded her expectations.
"If you're wrong, how about you and Barbara spend the day with me?"
"!!!"
Qin stared at Fang Yun with wide eyes.
"You seem to have misunderstood. What I meant was that I would spend a day with you sisters."
"???"
This is even more wrong, isn't it?
"Don't you know it yourself? When you are alone with Barbara, she probably can't say anything." Fang Yun patted her shoulder and said softly, "You said you haven't communicated with Barbara, but how can you communicate with her when you are busy with work all day?"
"I..."
"It's a rare trip abroad, you don't want Barbara to have a bad time in Inazuma, do you? Don't you even want to take a day off to spend time with your sister?"
Qin opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but finally nodded firmly.
"Thank you, Fang Yun."
She did not add the position, which meant she treated Fang Yun as a friend. She knew that Fang Yun wanted to repair their sisterly relationship.
"But I still firmly believe in my idea." Qin still looked determined. After she finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave.
But next second.
Snapped!
Fang Yun slapped the soft buttocks again, feeling the wonderful touch from the Soul of the Knights.
The blonde female knight, who had looked confident just now, was caught off guard and let out an "ah", puffing up her face and looking at him angrily.
"Calling yourself on the job while working!"
Fang Yun made up an excuse: "Besides, when you accompany me for a day, there will be some physical contact, right? Just consider it as payment in advance."
Humph, do you think you have won?
Jean glared at him unhappily, then left quickly and found the accompanying Knights of Favonius.
She did not tell them the specific content of the bet between her and Fang Yun, but just told them that everyone needed to complete their own work this time, otherwise she would agree to one of Fang Yun's requests.
She didn't want to cheat, she just wanted to verify one thing: she had sacrificed her freedom and done so much to protect the people of Mondstadt, so would the people of Mondstadt be willing to sacrifice a little bit of their free time and work hard for her once?
Seeing her gratified look, the knights all looked excited.
"Don't worry, Captain Qin, we won't embarrass you tomorrow! Burp~" Miles burped as he spoke.
"Yes, Captain Qin, His Highness Fang Yun underestimates us, Mondstadt!"
"This is the consciousness of us Mond people!"
Seeing them shouting slogans so loudly, Qin felt relieved and turned away.
the other side.
Fang Yun continued to handle government affairs.
After checking the materials that needed to be reviewed by the Kanding Bugyo, he was quite satisfied.
Now that the Hiiragi family has been deposed, the several families in charge of the Kanjo Bugyo are all very well behaved. Of course, it may also be because the Kanjo Bugyo is often supervised by Kitsusaigumi.
