In the evening, when Qiao Xiying didn't know it, Lian Huacan quietly returned to the boundary of the vein. This time, he was accompanied by Meng Chan.

With the help of the "back door" left earlier, Lian Huacan easily opened the enchantment. Although the virtual soldiers in the middle quickly counterattacked, they lacked the command of a main general, and these stragglers were simply vulnerable in front of Lian Huacan. After a few rounds, they are scattered and dissipated into a stream of data.

"Come on, rearrange the formation. Lian Huacan squatted down, grabbed handfuls of ore, and sprinkled them again, listening to the crisp sound of collision between the ores, the smile on his face continued to expand, "Now the top ore vein is ours." ”

Meng Chan glanced at him with a smile: "Don't think I don't know." Taking advantage of the feelings of a simple little girl, don't you really feel guilty at all?"

Although Lian Huacan did not elaborate on his plan when he mentioned it to everyone, but only boasted about his wisdom, Meng Chan quickly figured out the joints.

If the person he used was Qiao Xiying, what other way could he convince that girl to betray the camp? It's just that the person who asked him to "borrow love", if he knew that he had ruined his reputation like this, I don't know if he would be so angry that he would kill him directly.

It can only be said that a person's most beloved person is her biggest weakness, and if she hangs on her mouth all day long and makes everyone know, it is really not a good thing.

Lian Huacan raised his eyebrows disdainfully: "What are you guilty of? This is the battlefield! Do you know that soldiers are not tired of cheating? Being deceived by me can only show that she is stupid!"

"Mo Gucheng doesn't do anything in our group, and it's time for him to play a role. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and set up. Soon, he glared at him with some irritation, "If you delay any longer, the people from Group B should come!"

Meng Chan smiled noncommittally and stopped arguing with him. The fingers are moved, and the golden patterns are intertwined in the air, communicating the mystical energy hidden in the space. Several pieces of colorful ore flew out after him, each occupying the eye of the formation, stirring up layers of spiritual power vortexes.

In essence, she is not a nosy person, although she also thinks that even Hua Can's use of Qiao Xiying's feelings is too bad—besides, it is still in the name of others—but she will never even do it in order to disdain him. In the end, this matter has nothing to do with her, and in her heart, it didn't provoke much repercussions from the beginning.

In addition to the extremely good people and the extreme evil people, like Meng Chan, he will never take the initiative to do bad things, but he will turn a blind eye to all kinds of injustices around him, and it may be the vast majority of groups in society. Such people, in the future on the Internet, will also be called the "silent majority".

……

At the beginning, Qiao Xiying watched Lian Huacan leave the mine vein with her own eyes, and she also re-strengthened the enchantment by herself, and this matter was over in her heart. Unexpectedly, when she woke up and came to the hall for breakfast, she happened to hear the sound of everyone's dispute. Several people quarreled fiercely, and it sounded like it was related to the ore vein.

"How can someone break the barrier?

"Brother, the mine is so big, I go there every day, maybe I find a mistake? Now not only has the barrier been broken, but someone has also rearranged a formation there, and the defense capability has been strengthened several times, so it is clearly demonstrating to us!"

"I'm going! Our veins have been robbed by Group A? These people, if we let Lao Tzu catch ......"

"I always feel that this thing is bizarre! The barrier has been broken, how can we not feel it at all? Then who, you are the enchantment master, do you sleep too hard at night, and you don't even know if the enemy has entered the house?"

"It can't be! I swear, I've been staring at the barrier with a wisp of my sense! Unless...... Unless it's in our team, there are internal ghosts!"

Qiao Xiying didn't understand it at first, but with the news of "the ore vein was robbed", it really transitioned into her mind, but it was like an earth-shattering thunder, splitting her thinking, along with her world view.

"What? Lian Huacan obviously promised me, he just picked up a few pieces of ore on the periphery and left! How could this be ......?"

In shock, she even forgot to keep a secret for herself, so she was in front of everyone, her eyes widened, and she screamed to herself over and over again.

"What did you say?" everyone stopped arguing and looked at her with unkind expressions, "Do you know what?"

"I'm ......" Qiao Xiying looked at the questioning gaze, unable to argue, muttered softly, and moved helplessly backwards, "I ......"

Seeing her react like this, even the most sluggish person can realize what is happening.

Ye Shuo stood up from the table and stepped forward, staring at her with burning eyes. Although he always shows people as a good man on weekdays, at this time he is rarely really angry, and the solemn aura that rises from the level is also oppressive.

"Did you bring the enemy in?" Seeing that Qiao Xiying just retreated in a panic, she lowered her face and shouted: "Isn't it!"

Qiao Xiying was already in a state of mind, and when she heard this loud shout, she was even more frightened by him, and she only defended in vain: "He told me at the time...... He just wants to help Senior Brother Gucheng, I believe him, how do I know......"

Ye Shuo's face became more and more gloomy. He really didn't expect that in the current eventful season, when everyone was thinking about the team and trying their best to share the worries of the coach, there was a little girl who rarely participated in the war, just because of her boring feelings, betrayed everyone and caused such a big loss to the team!

They have already lost Gengcheng, and the current equipment supply is all counting on the little top-grade ore mined. Losing the veins now is tantamount to stripping them naked and throwing them in front of the enemy. Can this battle still be fought? How can it be fought?

"Qiao Xiying, you leaked confidential information to the enemy, you have committed a serious crime, like a rebel!" Ye Shuo became more and more angry the more he spoke, and waved his hand violently, "Come on, drag her down first and put her in prison! ”

Qiao Xiying's eyes widened anxiously: "I...... I know I'm wrong, but I really didn't mean to!" She looked around, ran to Shen Antong's side quickly, and gently pulled her sleeve for help: "Antong, you can also help me tell him, I really didn't mean it! I don't want to go to prison!"

"You didn't mean to?" Ye Shuo completely ignored Shen Antong, his eyebrows were upside down, and his eyes seemed to be spraying anger. Some mistakes can be forgiven, but some mistakes are not worth forgiving!

"This time you leaked the information of the ore vein, and the next time if you deceive the enemy and leak the top military information, thousands of soldiers will die because of you in the future!

Qiao Xiying's eyes widened in horror. And this major crime also made some people who wanted to intercede for her more or less die down.

In this way, Qiao Xiying was still imprisoned.

In response to her final punishment, Group B immediately held a meeting to discuss.

Since Feng Qiwu was vacated from the throne, City B and City C have all been temporarily under the management of Ye Shuo, basically here, he is considered the biggest commander. He presided over the meeting, and everyone expressed their opinions. Ye Shuo listened to their discussion, and he couldn't stop thinking about it in his heart.

Some people said that she was just a little girl who was ignorant and should be open, but some people immediately objected that if she was punished lightly this time, it would be difficult to guarantee that no one would follow suit next time. If everyone can betray the team for one reason or another, and in the end they don't have to pay the price, how can this battle be fought?

Next, some people said that because this is the first case of a mole, it should be dealt with in order to set an example. However, some people objected, saying that if we really wanted to raise the military law at every turn, wouldn't it become the same as Feng Qiwu at the beginning? If a tyrant had just been overthrown, but his successor behaved exactly like him, it would inevitably arouse the rebellion of the lower strata, and when the time came, it might cause even more turmoil.

Ye Shuo just listened to their argument and didn't express his opinion for a long time. But his heart is far from being as calm as it seems on the surface. Now he is sighing over and over again that "it is difficult to be a leader".

Until now, it kept flashing in his mind, how she stared at herself resentfully and helplessly when Qiao Xiying was dragged down by several guards, and shouted sadly:

"Ye Shuo, you are so cold-blooded and ruthless, although you have hollowed out Feng Qiwu's power, but you have just become another Feng Qiwu!"

Thinking of her beautiful and desperate eyes, Ye Shuo sighed deeply.

All this time, he had little experience in commanding everyone. The only time he was in a high position was probably to become the Supreme Elder of the Dingtian Sect. However, that's just being a hands-off shopkeeper.

The things that will offend people are all done by Situ Yucheng, the head of the family. So apart from the occasional appearance, to show off his "charisma" – if he has one – to inspire others, he has not accumulated much real experience.

This time, becoming the commander of the two cities was a bit hasty for Ye Shuo. Maybe it's because he became the boss for the first time, he had to lead everyone to fight, and he led a group of wealthy nobles from Tiangongmen, each of whom was arrogant and undisciplined, which made Ye Shuo encounter a lot of setbacks.

As for the deepest point of experience, that is, although the superior person seems to be majestic, he has many unknown helplessness.

Why do they say that after sitting in a high position, people will change, in fact, he himself may not have changed, but the way he handles things has changed, and he must change.

If he is just an ordinary person today, then he can act according to his own preferences, or even take sides arbitrarily. Even if you are blamed, you can laugh it off. Because he is just an ordinary person, there is no baggage on him, and he does not need to be responsible for the world.

But once he becomes the ruler, he has to balance the big picture. A bowl of water is ultimately uneven, and for this, the interests of some people have to be sacrificed.

In this way, the group represented by the victim, because of their unwillingness, will deliberately preach the injustice of the rule and provoke the resistance of the people. But if he obeyed him at the beginning, there would be another group of people to denounce him, and he would never be able to take into account the interests of everyone at the same time.

This time, he really sacrificed Qiao Xiying's interests for the sake of the overall situation, and because of this, he attracted her resentment. The next time, if someone else violates military discipline, he will have to make the same choice.

For the sake of the army, he must choose the path that is most conducive to long-term development, even if he suffers from everyone's misunderstanding, even if he is spit on by others as a tyrant, he has no choice.

Now, Feng Qiwu's practice of using heavy punishment, he seems to be able to understand a little. But it is only "understandable", but it will never agree.

Because, he never treated a warrior as a human being at all. He abused lynching to satisfy his own desires. No matter what, I can't become like him!

……

A few days later, Ye Shuo basically had the answer in his heart. He instructed his subordinates to open the cell door and go to visit Qiao Xiying.

Qiao Xiying was wearing a prison uniform and looked a lot haggard. When the cell door opened, she looked up urgently, but when she saw that it was him, she turned her head in hatred and turned her face to the wall.

Ye Shuo was not angry, squatted down beside her patiently, and spoke to her gently.

"Xiying, what's wrong, are you still angry with me?"

After he coaxed and coaxed, all the grievances in Qiao Xiying's heart seemed to explode, she turned her head suddenly, and shouted with a half-crying voice:

"No, I already know it's wrong, and you're going to throw me in jail. You're just taking me to prey on to other soldiers! The new official has taken office with three fires, and you will burn me the first one!"

Ye Shuo's face sank: "You still haven't recognized your mistake." ”

"Why should I punish you. Not because of who you like, because this is the army, and you violated military discipline. Your mistakes alone can bring down the entire team......"

"This is not a real army!" Qiao Xiying blurted out to interrupt him.

seemed to realize that she had committed a taboo, Qiao Xiying bit her lip, endured and endured, and finally said it all in one go: "Feng Qiwu is right." It's just a game, and the game doesn't have any serious consequences. If it were a real war now, I wouldn't have defected to the enemy......"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that what she said was reasonable, and she gradually became angry: "I think it's you people, you don't even distinguish between virtual and real when you play games!

Ye Shuo sneered and sat down cross-legged beside her: "Okay, according to what you said, this is a game, then do you think that you can do whatever you want in the game, it's okay to betray your companions, it's okay to kill your companions, right?
