38 Red Cremation
The whole book .,The fastest update Lao Tzu is the latest chapter of a dragon!
The turmoil on St. Ann's Island is finally over, Long Thirteen and Lin Gardenia also returned to the capital by boat, this time in addition to unlocking the secret of Lin Gardenia's resurrection, Long Thirteen also brought back the mysterious corpse, as long as he returned to the capital and handed it over to Xia Guantian, he could unlock the secret of the Night Emperor.
On the other hand, a funeral was going on in Liberty City at this time, and at eight o'clock in the morning, Liu Gongjin, as the lord of the city, issued an order that all the people of Liberty City should gather in the desert outside the town to see Betty off for the last time.
At this time, Betty was already lying in the coffin that had been made overnight, guarded by all the high-ranking people in black dresses in Liberty City, including Baedren, who had just returned from diplomatic trade, Catherine and others, and even Bolton.
Burton has always regarded Betty as his sister, if it weren't for the fact that he received an order some time ago to trade with his neighbors with Bedlen, he wouldn't let Betty go to the capital alone to perform such a dangerous mission, when he received the bad news last night, Bolton was even angry, and went straight to the coma, and after waking up, he rushed back to Liberty City with Bedlen overnight.
He was wearing a black suit, and the whole person looked at Betty in the coffin with a languishing look, and finally overthrew the God King, and Betty also returned to the original state, originally thought that everything would develop in a good direction, but it turned out that this kind of thing happened, such an innocent smile, Bolton can no longer see it?
Thinking of this, his eyes were slightly red, but he still tried his best to restrain himself,
Bedlun, who was beside him, patted Bolton on the shoulder as a sign of comfort, "It's not your fault, Bolton. ”
Bolton nodded, then hung his head and sobbed a few times.
"It's certainly not Burton's fault!"
Mir clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "If Betty didn't go to the capital to negotiate with those guys, there wouldn't be such an end, it was those people from CSA who killed her!"
Although Mir and Betty usually don't have a very good relationship, but now they are also companions, seeing their companions die tragically at the hands of the enemy, of course she will feel angry, she has already proposed to Liu Gongjin, the group of guys in CSA can't believe it, but Liu Gongjin still sent Betty to go, in her opinion, if Liu Gongjin can be a little more mature, this kind of tragedy can be avoided at all.
"For now, don't say that to Betty's face. Catherine spoke, fearing that when Mir was excited, she would say something to confuse the people and cause unnecessary trouble,
It's good that Catherine didn't speak, but as soon as she spoke, Mill became even angrier, she pointed at Catherine and said, "I said a long time ago that we can't be on peace with those guys, they are our enemies, and there is no other choice between them and us than war, if your brother could realize this earlier, Betty wouldn't be dead!"
Betty's death Catherine is also very sad, after all, Betty has always been loyal to her, but she can't accept Mir's statement, she retorted: "Gong Jin is just doing the right thing, it's not him who is wrong, but the person who killed Betty, that person named Yao Peng has been killed by Gong Jin, and his head is also hanging above the main city, what do you want him to do?"
"Needless to say, of course the war was started, and a marshal died, and the CSA group will definitely not give up, we have to take them by surprise before they fight back!" Mir said of course.
Catherine looked at Mir like an idiot and said: "Do you think the current Free City has the ability to fight against the CSA, our combat strength is seriously insufficient, on the contrary, the other party has a large group of elites, if we really want to go to war, we will only lose completely!"
Mill said disdainfully: "It's just a loser's remarks, what's going on, Catherine, you weren't as cowardly as you are now, if you were before, you wouldn't let the CSA people ride on our heads and and pee." ”
"I've ruled here in that way, but it doesn't work, what we need now is not war, but development, the people trust us, we can't let them follow us to their deaths, Mir, if you still can't figure this out, I don't think you're fit to sit in that position as Minister of Logistics. Catherine said seriously,
Mir was about to say that she was not uncommon in that position, but Baedren interrupted: "If you want to quarrel, please go to a farther place, it is a funeral, I want you to have some respect for the deceased, and try to be quiet." ”
Mill turned to Baedren and asked, "Do you think that's really good?" Baedren, let's stay here like a shrunken turtle and wait for the CSA to execute us?"
"Mir, I know you're angry right now, but the reason why we chose to stay here in the first place was because we trusted Liu Gongjin. ”
Bai Delun looked at the direction where Liu Gongjin was standing at the front and said: "In this case, we can only firmly believe in him who we believe, and he will definitely make the most correct choice." ”
Mir gritted his teeth and said: "What is the most correct choice, is it right to blindly make concessions, I see, that guy is just acting in front of us, and he didn't care about Betty's death." ”
"Shut up, Mir. Bolton said suddenly.
Mill was stunned for a moment before saying, "Burton, you have always regarded Betty as a sister, but I am on Betty's side to help you speak, don't be ignorant!"
"It's you, Mir. ”
Bolton looked at Liu Gongjin's back and said seriously: "You said he didn't take Betty's death to heart? Don't be kidding, you can see that back clearly, no one here, including me, has the grief and guilt he has at this time, of course we can accuse him of doing the wrong thing as a matter of course, but who can Liu Gongjin accuse, he can only bear it silently alone, the real grief is the pain that can't even be spoken." ”
Mir saw that Liu Gongjin's shoulders were rising and falling, which meant that he was trying his best to endure the guilt and grief in his heart, he was the city lord here, if even he was crying, then how could the people follow him with peace of mind, so even if his heart was about to be covered by guilt, Liu Gongjin still maintained a expressionless face.
Mir saw this, so she shut up, Baidlun was right, since they had chosen to stay here from the beginning, then they had no other way but to trust Liu Gongjin.
"Ignition!"
After Liu Gongjin raised his head and said these two words, Bolton and other high-level officials put the torches in their hands on Betty's coffin, and soon the flames burned and covered Betty's body.
Everyone looked at the burning sparks, some people left tears, some people looked sorry, and of course, many people showed angry expressions.
Only Liu Gongjin was silent from the beginning to the end of the funeral, he just watched Betty's body being slowly burned out, he had to remember today's sense of powerlessness, and remember it in his heart, he will never forget that it was because of his luck that Betty made a senseless sacrifice.
Whether others blame him or think he has nothing to do with it, he's going to carry Betty's life and make sure it doesn't happen again!
Betty was once kicked out of the God-King's palace before her death, and lived in the town for a while, for the residents here, she was an innocent little girl, very cute and polite, and the residents also had a good impression of her, so naturally someone asked: "Lord Castle, Betty is dead, do we still have to implement the peace agreement you proposed?"
"That's right, they killed Betty, although the city lord also killed the murderer, but this matter shouldn't end there, those CSA people will definitely not let us go!"
"Instead of waiting here for them to take us down, let's let those guys know we're awesome!"
"That's right, Lord Castle, we need to fight back, we can't let people eat anymore!"
The more the people talked, the more excited they became, and the more extreme they became, many of them had the same ideas as Mir, when the God King was in power, although they didn't take them seriously, but at least that group of CSAs didn't dare to make such a mistake, but now as soon as the God King fell, they killed the messenger here, which is an act that doesn't take Free City into account at all, no more, no less, and even looks down on the behavior of the new city lord Liu Gongjin!
If you don't fight back, you will only be more inappropriately taken by the other party, and the Inhumans who hold such thoughts account for almost half of them, and Betty's death makes the other half of the Inhumans sway, and they even begin to wonder if Liu Gongjin's approach is correct.
At this time, no one can intervene, including Catherine, because only Liu Gongjin, who is the city lord, can solve it by himself, and if he can't even solve this kind of problem, it proves that Liu Gongjin is not qualified to serve as the city lord.
Looking at the excited strangers, Liu Gongjin raised his hand to signal them to be quiet, and then said seriously: "I regret Betty's death, I also have an unshirkable responsibility, as you said, CSA's behavior is completely ignorant of our sincerity, they think that the God King and Yi Linhui are finished, and Free City is no longer enough to be the object of their concern, and even think about annexing us and arresting us in prison, I can't forgive this incident!"
Liu Gongjin's words made Catherine secretly scream bad, she was afraid that Liu Gongjin would be impulsive and say irreparable words, and that kind of words would make the war break out completely.
Just when she wanted to stop it, she heard Liu Gongjin continue: "However, the reason why they are unwilling to negotiate with us is that they think that our strength is not as good as before, in this case, we have to prove to them that our Free City is not a rabble, but when we unite the strength of everyone, it will be more powerful than the one when the God King is in power, for this reason, I have prepared the following three strategies." ”
"One, starting today, I'm going to have the Research Department strengthen the protective shield of Freetown, so that no one from outside the city can invade here. ”
"Second, organize an escort team, but anyone who has confidence in his ability and is willing to assist me can go to Baidelun to sign up, I want to build an army that is stronger than the previous number ten apostles. ”
"Three, that's the most important point, Yao Peng is just the beginning, I will hunt those high-ranking marshals of the CSA, let the name Liu Gongjin become a nightmare for the CSA, and let them understand that Liberty City is an existence they can't afford to provoke!"
When Liu Gongjin said these three points, the atmosphere of the people was pushed to a climax.
Catherine breathed a sigh of relief, it really made her worry in vain, it seems that her brother can make the right choice even in anger, these three points not only give Freecity a new policy, but also appease the people to prevent them from messing around, which can be described as killing several birds with one stone.
She was going to be impressed with her brother.
If it continues like this, it will only be a matter of time before Liberty City grows.
After the funeral, Liu Gongjin returned to the office building with a group of high-level executives, and just as Liu Gongjin was about to go back to the conference room to continue the meeting with the high-level to implement these three points, a doctor rushed over and said to Liu Gongjin: "Oh no, Lord of the city, Miss Wang has an accident!"
