Although Zhou Tonghai always behaves like an old naughty boy on weekdays, in fact, he has been able to stand in his current position for so many years, which shows that he is not only a pure soldier, but also a qualified politician.

Soldiers pay attention to orders and prohibitions, do not move like a mountain, and invade like fire. Politicians, on the other hand, pay attention to the combination of vertical and horizontal, and make trade-offs.

The two are fundamentally different, but Zhou Tonghai can balance the relationship between the two roles, so those who understand officialdom have always been very clear that Zhou Tonghai is by no means a good person with thick nerves.

After listening to Xiao Wen's words, Zhou Tonghai's first reaction was that something was wrong.

I have to say that Xiao Wen's trick is very amazing and vicious.

Now Yanjing, whether it is the military, the government, or the ordinary people, is all threatened by corpse-eating insects. At the moment, no one has thought of an effective way to solve the corpse eater, but it is the super fast reproduction ability and super growth of the corpse eater, which makes everyone feel that the corpse eater is increasing and getting stronger.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Wen suddenly offered to hand over Jiang Feng in exchange for Yanjing Ping'an, which was undoubtedly very attractive to people from all walks of life.

As for whether Xiao Wen will keep his promise after handing over Jiang Feng, this is completely a later story.

Because as long as Xiao Wen has this will, the Yanjing military and political authorities can use Jiang Feng as a bargaining chip, and then sit down with Xiao Wen and slowly negotiate the details of Jiang Feng in exchange for Yanjing's safety.

Rationally speaking, this kind of thing of exchanging one human life for millions of human lives is worth a thousand dollars.

Therefore, Xiao Wen's move is bound to isolate Jiang Feng from the rest of Yanjing. If the official really decides to use Jiang Feng as a bargaining chip to talk to Xiao Wen in exchange for the details of Yanjing's safety, it will inevitably chill Jiang Feng's heart, and it is likely to force Jiang Feng to the opposite side of the official at that time.

Just imagine, if you were like Jiang Feng who had done so much for the country and established so many meritorious deeds. In the end, the country is ready to sacrifice you, how do you feel?

Therefore, as soon as Zhou Tonghai heard Xiao Wen's words, he felt that something was wrong, and there were two ways to torture a person. Flesh head and mind.

Obviously, Xiao Wen used the method of punishing the heart this time.

"This is Xiao Wen's trick, don't be fooled!"

Zhou Tonghai thought so in his heart, and was preparing to organize the words and the people in the command to analyze the sinister intentions behind Xiao Wen's move.

Of course, the most important thing is to explain it to the elder gentleman.

As the person in charge of the operation to exterminate the corpse eaters, Jun Lao could not dispatch official forces to find Jiang Feng, and his decision was very important.

And when Zhou Tonghai looked at Jun Lao, he happened to meet Jun Lao's glance at him.

Zhou Tonghai's heart was shocked, he had followed Jun Lao for many years, and he had seen a lot through Jun Lao's eyes. It is obvious that Jun Lao has intentions in his heart, and he also hesitates. He was in a state of hesitation, trying to get himself to give him an opinion.

"No way!"

Zhou Tonghai was instantly excited.

"Elder Jun, you know how much credit Jiang Feng has made. The reason why he is willing to do these things from birth to death is entirely because he values the relationship with us. If we don't support him at this time, it will chill his heart!"

Jun Lao listened to Zhou Tonghai's words and smiled.

"Old Zhou, where do you want to go, do you think I will betray Jiang Feng?"

"Huh?" Zhou Tonghai was slightly stunned.

Jun Lao sighed angrily, "I'm so ruthless in your heart, I just want to tell you, immediately send a team of men to protect Jiang Feng."

You know, we can support Jiang Feng and not hand Jiang Feng over. But those ordinary people in Yanjing would not be like this, they would most likely surround Jiang Feng's mansion and be unfavorable to Jiang Feng.

So I want you to send a team of people to Jiang Feng's mansion to guard it, and don't let those people harass Jiang Feng. ”

"Oh, that's what you always mean. Zhou Tonghai suddenly smiled.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I immediately sent someone over. Forget it, I'll go there in person, and by the way, tell Jiang Feng about your attitude, so as to calm his heart. ”

"Go ahead. Elder Jun nodded.

Zhou Tonghai's face was excited, and while calling to dispatch personnel, he trotted out of the command headquarters.

Zhou Tonghai didn't know that he had just left the command headquarters for less than two minutes. Someone in the command headquarters asked Elder Jun, "Elder Jun, are you really not going to hand over that Jiang Feng?"

"I don't plan to do this for now. Elder Jun replied without hesitation.

It's just that his answer has just ended, and after a slight pause, Jun Lao said again: "Actually, it is possible that Jiang Feng took the initiative to find Xiao Wen by himself." ”

After Jun Lao said this, a thick sense of guilt flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Zhai's side.

Originally, Jiang Feng was going to go to the headquarters to find Jun Lao to gather the warlocks from the Qishi Mansion, and then practice the Stars and Moon Array together, so as to try to gather the strength of everyone and whether they could defeat Xiao Wen.

But Xiao Wen suddenly came to such a hand, which disrupted Jiang Feng's plan at once.

First, it is because the soldiers of Chaoyue District and Haiding District have been evacuated, and these two districts are now completely fallen. This also means that the Warlock of the Wizards' Mansion who cooperated with the military soldiers in hunting the corpse eaters in these two districts may well have suffered misfortune. Even if they didn't all die, I'm afraid they were killed and wounded heavily.

Second, Jiang Feng also wanted to see that after Xiao Wen proposed to exchange himself for Yanjing's safety, Jun Lao would deal with it like this.

Jiang Feng is willing to contribute to the safety of Yanjing. But if he wants to sacrifice himself for the "safety of Yanjing" that cannot be guaranteed, he thinks that he is not great enough to this extent.

Xiao Wen's side seemed to be showing his sincerity, and he actually temporarily controlled the army of corpse eaters and did not continue to attack the military's defense line outside the two districts of Chaoyue and Haiding.

Yanjing, who had been in chaos for a day and a night, suddenly calmed down at this moment.

Since it was rare to have peace, Jiang Feng decided not to go out again, so he simply asked the kitchen to prepare a table of good wine and food, and then sat down with Lu Chuxue and Shangguan Bo in the house, drinking and eating leisurely.

It didn't take long for a maid to run to the backyard to tell Jiang Feng.

"Your Excellency, General Zhou is here. He had brought many soldiers with him, and the house was already surrounded by them. General Zhou asked us to put some soldiers into the house, and he said that those soldiers had come to set up a defense with us and keep us safe. ”

"Armed, keep us safe?"

Jiang Feng's eyes rolled, and the wine glass he had just raised was put back on the table.

"You invite General Zhou to the backyard and tell him not to let the soldiers into my house. ”

"Yes. ”

The maid replied and stepped back.

After a while, Zhou Tonghai's hearty laughter came from the entrance passage of the backyard.

"Jiang Feng, do you kid think that I am bringing someone to arrest you, and then take you to negotiate peace with Xiao Wen?"

Zhou Tonghai said as he walked into the main hall of the backyard.

He was not polite, and walked directly to the dining table and pulled a chair and sat down. Then he gestured to a maid in the hall and motioned for her to add a pair of chopsticks for herself.

After seeing the maid retreat and get him dishes and chopsticks, Zhou Tonghai looked at Jiang Feng and said, "Don't say it, at the beginning, I was a little worried that Elder Jun would hold you in his hands and use you as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Xiao Wen." After all, you know the current situation, but if you want to change the situation, I believe that no one will let it go. ”

"And then?" Jiang Feng asked lightly.

"Then I came with someone. But I'm not here to arrest you, I'm here to protect you. Elder Jun is afraid that you will be harassed by those ordinary people, so let me bring someone to help you watch a little. ”

"Afraid that I will be harassed by ordinary people?"

Jiang Feng smiled indifferently, then glanced at Zhou Tonghai deeply, then looked away, picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.

"What do you mean by this look? You don't believe me? I really came to protect you, it wasn't me who came, Elder Jun asked me to send someone else. But I want to come and calm your heart, so ......"

"Old man, Jiang Feng is not a big star, how do ordinary people know where he lives? Now that you are walking through the city with so many soldiers, doesn't it mean that you have led the way for those ordinary people?

Yanjing now has millions of people thinking that Jiang Feng can go to death, and then Xiao Wen is merciful and spares them. How many men did you bring with you? How many bullets did you have, and how many of your soldiers dared to kill?"

Lu Chuxue said while holding the crispy peanuts.

Listening to Lu Chuxue's words, Zhou Tonghai was stunned.

A chilling chill rushed from the soles of Zhou Tonghai's feet to his head.

Because of his trust in Jun Lao, Zhou Tonghai didn't think about these aspects of Lu Chuxue at all. Now that Lu Chuxue's understatement has broken the mystery, Zhou Tonghai naturally instantly understood Jun Lao's intentions.

Jun Lao wanted to use the ordinary people to force Jiang Feng to take the initiative to stand up.

It is a typical politician who achieves his own ends without offending anyone.

Jiang Feng ...... I...... I ......"

Zhou Tonghai stammered when he spoke to Jiang Feng for the first time, he didn't say a word for a long time, and finally slapped himself directly.

Jiang Feng hurriedly held Zhou Tonghai's hand and said, "Old man, what are you doing here?" I don't blame you. And I also understand that Jun Lao is doing this, after all, it is a matter of millions of lives in Yanjing, and he is in that position, so he must make such a choice. ”

"I ......" Zhou Tonghai looked at Jiang Feng, his eyes were not only full of guilt, but also contained a deep sadness.

As Jiang Feng said, Zhou Tonghai can also understand that Jun Lao made such a choice. But he has been following Jun Lao for twenty or thirty years, can't he spread out something and talk about it?

Is it not to use oneself in this way to draw those people into injustice?

Is it true that in the eyes of politicians, there are really only trade-offs, and there is no affection to talk about?

Jiang Feng took a slight breath, looked at the entrance of the backyard passage and said, "I don't care what you plan or think. In short, I need three hours. ”
