Zi Chuanxiu lowered his head and thought about it, the benefits of the Di Lin plan were very obvious: it smashed the empty central hinterland of the Liufeng family, deterred Yuanjing, and cut off the way for the enemy's front-line troops to retreat, which was a huge blow to the enemy's psychology, and the front and back attacks made the Liufengjia front-line troops collapse quickly.

But there are also many difficulties, the most important thing is to be fast, the soldiers are fast, fast as the wind and clouds through the Lin family's territory, so that the Lin family's security department has no time to interfere. If the Liufeng family is prepared, even if they increase the defense of one or two wings, as long as the assault corps is intercepted in the territory of the Lin family and delayed for a day or two, no one can say what the consequences will be at that time, and the most serious may even lead to King Zuo Jiaming coming out to interfere.

"Through a bold and unexpected assault, a large number of cavalry units were pushed into the depth and depth of the enemy, annihilating the main army force stationed on the eastern border of Liufengjia, and preventing the enemy's combat-capable troops from retreating to the wide interior west of Yuanjing. With the Gusang Canal on the outskirts of Yuanjing as the boundary, we established a defense line against the remnants of the Liufeng Family, and with our military superiority, supplemented by all diplomatic and political means, we forced Yuanjing to fall into paralysis and division, so that the Liufeng Family ceased to exist as a complete political entity! ”

Sterling ended the report with these words and took a tired sip. Completely destroy the eastern defense line and army of the Liufeng family, eliminate the pillar of the Liufeng family, and occupy the eleven provinces in the east of the Liufeng family, and then the army of the Zichuan family came to the capital of Yuanyuan, forcing the Liufeng family to sign an alliance under the city, cutting the remaining Liufeng family's territory into three pieces, dividing and conquering them, gradually encroaching in the future, and finally unifying the continent - when this beautiful prospect was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, everyone thought silently.

The vast territory and the rich city seem to be at your fingertips, and the whole plan is like a mixture of recklessness and adventure, but it has such charm that it seems so real.

"Mobilize millions of troops to fight the war, do we have the logistical capacity to support it?" Captain Goshan asked, her tone neither disagreeing nor approving, but a very matter-of-fact question.

Di Lin glanced at her approvingly, the person who could see the most critical essence of the problem in such a sharp way, Commander Goshan deserved to be the first capable official of the family. Sterling replied: "The army has made preparations for this, we have stockpiled a large amount of food and forage in several cities near the border, and the preparation of weapons and equipment has been started as early as June this year. ”

"It's one thing to hoard grain, it's another thing to get it to the front! Chief Stirling, how much food do millions of people need to fight? How many escort troops and vehicles do we need to transport this food through enemy theaters to the front line? And how much food is consumed on the road? I didn't see that in your plan! ”

Sterling was speechless for a while, and Dilling relieved him in a timely manner: "Commander Goshan, logistics and transportation are exactly your responsibilities, how can you put the burden on Sterling's head?" ”

Goshen said lightly, "It's my duty, but it's beyond my ability. ”

"It doesn't matter!" Di Lin smiled: "There is still time before the launch of the campaign, we still have time to prepare, that's why we have a meeting today!" ”

Gothand snorted, lowered her head and flipped through the papers, turning them over with a loud noise.

"It's a perfect piece of paper." Luo Minghai said loudly.

In the face of the provocation, Di Lin said lightly: "I don't know what the president has to say?" ”

"The whole campaign is based on the assumption that the Windwinders will not send new troops from the hinterland to reinforce the Windstorm, and I would like to know where this confidence comes from of His Excellency the Inspector General?" Luo Minghai said coldly, showing that he had long known that the mastermind of the entire military battle plan was Di Lin and not Sterling.

Di Lin slowly pulled out a few pieces of paper from his pocket: "About thirty days ago, I secretly met with Liu Feng Qing and Liu Feng Ming in Heqiu, and I said to them: 'Liu Feng Shuang is too much, we can no longer tolerate her, and we must take action against her. "Hearing this news, the two sons were even happier than me. The two of them assured me that as long as we could keep their own territory safe, they would not send a single soldier to support the Storm. Here, here's the secret agreement they signed with me. ”

Zichuan Xiu was deeply shocked: "Betraying his own sister and the pillar of the country? The wind and frost have saved them! Why did they do that? ”

Di Lin turned his head and glanced at Zi Chuanxiu with pity: "Ah Xiu, you just came back from the Far East, and you don't know the situation on the Liufeng family's side yet. Liufeng Xishan was sick and dying, and the day before yesterday he had fallen into a coma several times, all of which were brought back to life by taking strong stimulants, and he couldn't last long. The three sons are in a mess for power, and now, Liufengshuang has publicly expressed his attitude and supports the eldest son Liufengsen to take over, and with her support, Liufengsen immediately gained the upper hand in this battle. If Liufengsen succeeds to the throne smoothly, the two little young masters will definitely have no place to be buried, and they can't wait for Liufengshuang to die immediately! ”

"And what about the Flowing Wind Forest? He is in charge of the General Staff in Yuanjing, and he should be able to reinforce the storm. ”

"Ah Xiu," Di Lin said kindly, "Suppose you are Your Excellency Liufeng Sen, with the army of the Zichuan family in front of you, and there are two amiable younger brothers behind you who are looking at you kindly, do you dare to lead the army to leave Yuanjing to rescue Liufeng Frost?" I can't figure out that the army hasn't left the city gate yet, and the flag at the head of the city has changed! At that time, not only could your beautiful sister not be saved, but you might even be able to get into it yourself! I don't think the brother-sister affection of His Excellency Flowing Wind Sen was enough to prompt him to take such a big risk. ”

There was a buzzing and low discussion in the banquet, and everyone's eyes looked at Commander Minghui, who had been on the front line of the battle with the Liufeng family for a long time, and he had the most say in western affairs.

Minghui nodded in agreement and said, "According to what I know about Liufeng Sen, this person is an extremely ruthless egoist. What Inspector General Di Lin said was reasonable, he did not dare to take the risk of losing Yuanjing to dispatch the Yuanjing Garrison Military Region. ”

At this time, someone knocked lightly on the door, and Zi Chuanning, who was close to the door, got up and opened the door.

Li Qing appeared at the door, and she saluted solemnly: "Your Royal Highness the Commander-General, my lords, I'm sorry to disturb the meeting, but the Intelligence Department of the Supervision Department has urgent news to report to the Chief Inspector General of Dilin immediately, and the two intelligence officers are outside." ”

Di Lin looked at Zichuan Shenxing, and Zichuan Shenxing nodded slightly: "The meeting will take a break for five minutes." ”

Di Lin said to everyone, "I'm sorry, I'm going out to meet them." He got up and hurried out, but before a minute was gone he hurried back, with a calm look on his face.

"What's wrong?" Zichuan Shenxing asked loudly on behalf of everyone.

"No big deal." Di Lin said calmly: "Liufeng Xishan is dead. ”

For a moment, the conference room fell into a deathly silence.

When he reacted, several mouths spoke out at the same time: "How is it possible!" ”

"When did this happen?"

"Is the message exact?"

"The source is very reliable," replied Di Lin calmly, without clearly explaining the source of the information, and said bluntly, "The exact time of his death is unknown, because the Flowing Wind Family deliberately concealed his death." At the time of our meeting, Yuanjing had entered a state of martial law, and the army had marched into the capital to maintain order. ”

"Whose army?"

"According to intelligence, it should be loyal to the Yuanjing Garrison Military Region of Liufeng Forest, but several local military districts and the border guard regiment on the west coast of Canada have not shown their attitude."

"So, the two young masters, Liu Fengqing and Liu Fengming, watched their eldest brother ascend to the throne like this?"

"From the time when the Liufeng Forest army entered Beijing, these two young masters with a keen sense of smell have disappeared from their residence in Yuanjing, and their whereabouts are still unknown."

"Could it be that they were been?" Commander Minghui swiped his palm on his neck, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Absolutely impossible." Di Lin laughed softly and said, "Otherwise, there would be no need for the army of Liufeng Forest to search for the 'mysterious snitch of unknown origin' from house to house in the far capital city." ”

It took ten seconds for everyone to understand Di Lin's words. The commanders let out a knowing laugh, but because the chief was there, no one dared to laugh too presumptuously.

"Is it, Liufeng Xishan is really dead?" Zichuan Shenxing said softly, for some reason, there was a lonely look on his face, giving Zichuan Xiu a faint feeling of sadness.

Di Lin nodded affirmatively, and Zichuan Shenxing sighed: "Then, it's really a heavenly wind!" He silently took off his hat and placed it gently on the table.

Liufeng Xishan is the great enemy of the Zichuan family, and ten years ago, he almost overthrew the Zichuan family in one fell swoop. In the past ten years, he has insisted on fighting against the Zichuan family for nearly ten years with his crippled body, and his tenacity of will is rare, whether it is friend or foe, such a character is definitely a milestone figure of the era.

Zichuan Xiu understands Zichuan Shenxing's feelings, the life enemy he has been fighting and fighting with suddenly disappeared, and he lost his opponent in the fight, plus he saw that his contemporaries were becoming scarcer and rarer, even if he defeated the Liufeng family, he also had little time to come, he naturally had an indescribable sense of loss, and that desolate and lonely state of mind was difficult to experience until his twilight years.

Not only him, but the rest of the attendees felt the same way.

There was a tacit silence among the participants, and the officers took off their hats one by one at the beginning of the chief, in this way to express their silence for the quiet departure of a powerful enemy beyond the western horizon, and also to mourn the imminent demise of the once powerful Rogue family.

"So, let's continue to return to the original topic, Liufeng Xishan is dead, but Liufeng still has a Liufeng family. She is a more warlike and cunning general than Liufeng Xishan! The Windswept still has excellent generals and a good fighting army, and we still can't take it lightly. ”

Di Lin nodded and said, "But no matter what, the death of Liufeng Xishan is an irreparable loss to the Liufeng family. It may be that she is stronger than her father in the military field, and she is more capable of fighting, but she does not have the political skills of her father, nor does she have the prestige of his universal response. Liufeng Xishan is dead, Liufeng Road is also dead, the Liufeng family has no parents, and there are no veterans with enough qualifications and prestige to mediate, and the military power and political power are all scattered in the hands of a few careerists, and the cracks within them will only get bigger and bigger. Their only scruple about splitting is the Flowing Wind Frost, and we just want to give this mainstay of the Flowing Wind Family-" Di Lin waved his hand vigorously: "Eradicate it!" ”

There was a whisper of chatter among the attendees, all of whom were approving to Dilin.

Zi Chuanxiu suddenly thought of a question, and the cold hairs on his body stood up!

Although he listened to all the explanations, quarrels, and debates just now, he was not very engaged. Imagine that it was a very distant thing on the Western Front, and what happened there had little impact on the Far East.

Now he suddenly realized that once the war on the Western Front began, the Zichuan family would invest millions of troops on the Western Front, and a great war would be in front of him, and the family would definitely go all out, what strength would the family have to take care of the Far East at that time?

Once the demons start to attack on a large scale, what will the Zichuan family, which is caught in the war on the Western Front, use to resist the demon army? There must be only one ending, that is, to repeat the mistakes of the Far Eastern War, the army will return to Valen, and completely abandon the twenty-three provinces of the Far East!

Is this all a farce? It is meaningless to lead the Far Eastern military and civilians to defect to the family by leading thousands of miles away!

As soon as he thought of this, thought of the soldiers and civilians in the Far East who were still struggling to support him, and thought of Bai Chuan and other subordinates who were looking forward to him returning with a large number of reinforcements, his breath instantly became rapid: We sold our dignity and land, but we did not get the due reward! And the person who made this decision and persuaded the soldiers and civilians of the Far East to return to their families was himself!

How can I be worthy of the Far East? How can I be worthy of the soldiers and civilians of the Far East who fought hard?

The huge blow made Zichuan Xiu feel dizzy, all the blood was rushing to his head, and he seemed to be falling into a bottomless abyss, and the documents, people, and tables in front of him were spinning in the sky.

In a trance, he heard someone calling his name, but he didn't know what he was talking about, he tried to raise his head, just in time to see the concerned gaze of Sterling on the other side: "Ah Xiu, Ah Xiu, are you okay?" The chief is asking you! ”

The corners of Zi Chuanxiu's mouth twitched nervously: "I'm fine." I'm sorry, Your Highness, I didn't get enough sleep last night, and I was distracted just now. What did Your Highness just say? ”

Zichuan Shenxing was in a good mood and didn't mind, and said happily: "Ah Xiu, you young people's energy is not as good as that of an old man like me!" Just now I thought, can you send part of the Far Eastern Army to fight on the Western Front? Our troops on the Western Front are slightly insufficient! ”

The commanders agreed: "Yes! The orc army has always been fierce and good at fighting, and the army of the Flowing Wind family has rarely fought against foreign armies, and they will be terrified when they suddenly see a strong orc! ”

"There are also the archers of the snake clan, the fighter group of the dragon people, and the axe soldiers of the dwarf clan are all very formidable troops, once they are engaged in close combat, they will be invincible!"

"And it has political implications. Seeing the participation of the Far Eastern team, the Liufeng family will understand that we have recovered the Far East, and the Eastern Front will no longer have to worry about it. The thought of fighting with all its might in such a powerful country as ours would make Flowing Wind and Frost despair! ”

The Far East is already short of troops, and we returned to our family to ask for help, but you want me to send troops to the Western Front? I really want your skin, but you want my meat!

Zi Chuanxiu pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, and only after everyone finished talking about it did he slowly say: "His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, my lords, what everyone said is very reasonable, but now in order to deal with the threat of the demon clan in the Far East, our troops are also very tight, and we are really powerless for the war on the Western Front!" ”

Zichuan Shenxing's brows gradually frowned: "Ah Xiu, you are now the leader of the family, you can't patronize the little interests of the Far East, you have to stand on the height of the overall family situation!" Now, the Dragoon Project is the biggest matter in the family, and it is related to our survival, can you justify such a dime? ”

Zi Chuan Xiu sneered, a little interest in the Far East? For me, the 18 million people of the Far East are in my best interest! On the surface, he still looked respectful: "Your Highness, you are right, the dragoon plan is a major matter of the family, and the Far East is a trivial matter, I fully understand, but we are really tight now-so, in this way, Your Highness the Commander-in-Chief, I have thought of a way!" ”

"Huh?" Zichuan Xiu said seriously: "In previous years, during the Far Eastern War, in order to deal with the southwest battalion, nearly 100,000 family troops were stationed in the Valen Fortress. Now that the Far East has been recovered, and there is no threat at hand, the troops stationed in the Valen Fortress can be completely withdrawn and transferred to fight on the Western Front! ”

Without waiting for Zichuan Shenxing to speak, Lin Bing, the commander of the town guard of the Valen Fortress, had already raised his eyebrows: "Ah Xiu leads you to mess around!" Valen Fortress is one of the most important passes for the family, how can it be dismantled? You can't withdraw the troops here anywhere! ”

"Oh, Commander Lin Bing, you are a high-ranking official of the family, you can't patronize your Valen's little interests, everything must be seen from the perspective of the overall situation of the family! Now the Dragoon Project is the biggest matter of my family, and it is related to our survival, can you justify such a dime? ”

Zi Chuan Ning laughed out loud, but the laughter did not ease the atmosphere in the conference room at all, Zi Chuan Shenxing's face was very cold, he didn't say a word, and the atmosphere was so stuffy that it made people panic.

Sterling had to come out to play the round: "Ah Xiu, are the troops really so tight?" Can't even a few half-orc teams come out? ”

Di Lin also said loudly: "Or it can be like this, let the garrison of the Valen Fortress and the Far Eastern Military Region change defenses, so that a part of the Far Eastern Army can be transferred to the Western Front to fight!" ”

Seeing Stirling and Di Lin frequently glaring at him, seeing Zi Chuanning's worried eyes, and then thinking of the Shenji Battalion outside where the killing machine was lurking, Zi Chuanxiu had to make concessions: "You can consider sending one or two infantry teams over, but not more." ”

He said earnestly: "Please forgive Your Highness for the difficulties in the Far East, we have fought a series of battles with the demons, there is a shortage of soldiers, the soldiers are tired, the people have suffered heavy casualties, the morale of the troops is very low at present, and the demons may come back at any time, we can't help but be prepared." ”

Zichuan Shenxing lowered his eyebrows, and said slowly for a long time: "I think, we have to take a break for a while." Adults should think carefully about your position and what you want to say. Half an hour later, we resumed our meeting. ”

After saying the "dismissal", the chief executive was the first to stand up and went out angrily, and the president led Luo Minghai to follow him in a hurry, needless to say, he must have taken the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

Everyone in the conference room looked at each other, and in the face of countless strange eyes, Zi Chuanxiu helplessly spread his hands: "Adults, do you want to beat me up?" ”

Everyone laughed "boom", and Commander Minghui smiled and said, "Commander Axiu, I don't approve of what you did, but I really admire your courage. It's the first time I've seen such a tough new commander, and the chief is so angry that his face has changed. ”

"I also admire your courage." Lin Bing said to Zi Chuanxiu with a straight face: "But you shouldn't have pulled me in!" And what do you say to abolish the Valen Military Region - you really owe a beating! Do you want to make me unemployed? You're going to be responsible for raising me then! ”

Several commanders laughed, and Minghui hurriedly said, "I'll take this responsibility!" ”

"Phew! You're worthy of it! Go home and look in the mirror, I only love handsome guys! ”

In the absence of the chief and the president, the commanders, who seemed to outsiders to be majestic, frolicked like a group of students whose teachers were absent.

In front of their subordinates, they have to maintain the majesty of the chief, but here everyone is an official of the same level, so there is no need to put up any fights, and everyone is very open.

Even the ever-unsmiling Commander Goshan joined in and said, "Commander Axiu, you're too bold!" How did you let His Highness get off the stage like this? ”

Sterling was deeply worried: "I think, Ah Xiu, you have to apologize to the chief quickly." ”

Di Lin sneered: "It's useless to apologize. Military power has always been a key issue, and the question is that Ah Xiuke is willing to give up military power in the Far East? ”

Zi Chuanxiu tried his best to argue: "It's not that I'm reluctant, the crisis of the situation in the Far East is unimaginable to you!" A large-scale attack by the demons is imminent, and we are facing a life-and-death situation! ”

Although he said it loudly, looking at the appearance of the crowd, no one believed it, even Sterling held a pair of "Come on, who are you coaxing with this?" looked at him with an expression, so Zichuan Xiu had to hold his chin and sulk.

The civil strife in the Far East directed by Boudin was a great shame for himself, and Zichuan Xiu did not report the fiasco of the Far Eastern army at Red River Bay to the upper echelons of the family, concealing the actual situation in the Far East, and as a result, he is now a child who shouts "The wolf is coming", and he can't tell the bitterness.

A Praetorian Guard officer entered the conference room and whispered to Zichuan Xiu, "Your Excellency, the Chief wants to see you." ”

Under the sympathetic gaze of the commanders, Zichuan Xiu made a helpless gesture, got up and went out, followed the officer through the winding corridors and passages, went up the stairs, and was ushered into the private reception room of the chief Zichuan Sanxing, who was already in the room.

Zi Chuan Xiu saluted, and Zi Chuan Shenxing waved his hand and motioned for Zi Chuan Xiu to sit down on an empty chair: "No need to be formal, Ah Xiu." Here is a separate conversation with our surname Zichuan, you don't have to be too restrained. ”

Zi Chuanxiu apologized very sincerely: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I didn't want to disobey you, it's really that the Far East is in trouble." ”

"I don't need to talk about that anymore." Zichuan Shenxing rubbed his hands with satisfaction: "Now there is another important matter to discuss with you." As you heard just now, in the battle of the Dragoons, the assault army group responsible for the flank breakthrough has an important mission, and the group will pass through our completely unfamiliar territory of the Lin family, fighting and maneuvering behind enemy lines alone, completely cut off from the rear and under tremendous pressure. We believe that the commander of the assault group needs an experienced general who is determined, talented, resourceful, and able to adapt flexibly to the situation and cope with all kinds of difficulties and obstacles that cannot be predicted in advance. Ah Xiu, since your teacher, Fang Jin, the commander of the martyrs, was martyred in the Far East, the position of commander of the Black Flag Army has been vacant, are you willing to accept this position? ”

Zichuan Xiu was stunned: "You want me to be the commander of the Black Flag Army?" And what about the Far East? ”

Zichuan Shenxing smiled: "I think about it, I can let Deputy Commander Lin Bing be promoted to Commander of the Far East." She has been stationed in the Far East for many years, and she has rich experience and is competent enough to do it! ”

Zi Chuanxiu blurted out: "That's not good!" ”

"Ah Xiu, do you have a better candidate to recommend than Lin Bing?"

Seeing that Zichuan Shenxing deliberately misinterpreted his meaning, Zichuan Xiu was so angry that he couldn't say "I'm better than Lin Bing".

He argued: "Your Highness, I have been presiding over the Far East for the past two years, and now the large-scale attack of the demon clan is imminent, although Lord Lin Bing is also a very good general, but changing before the battle will be a taboo for soldiers!" ”

"I know you're more capable than Lin Bing." Zichuan Sanxing said: "The western battlefield is now the top priority that the family is most concerned about, and it is precisely because of valuing your talent and ability that the family has transferred you to the west and entrusted you with important tasks, giving you the opportunity to make contributions!" Commanding an army of 400,000 people drinking the Magusang River and looking at Yuanjing, do you know how many generals are looking forward to this opportunity! ”

"But, Your Highness, didn't we make an appointment that night? How can you ......"

"We do have a pact with each other." Zichuan Shenxing interrupted Zichuan Xiu's words: "The night that Di Lin brought you in, we agreed on four conditions for the return of the Far East, right?" Do you remember what the four conditions were?

"First, the twenty-three provinces of the Far East returned to the family and became part of the family's territory; Second, the Far East after its return to the motherland enjoys the treatment of a special autonomous region and can enjoy the right of independence in internal affairs, judiciary and finance, but must pay a certain percentage of taxes to the family every year; Thirdly, the abolition of slavery in the Far East, the granting of equal citizenship to the inhabitants of all nationalities and the citizens of mankind, and the disobedience of human nobility to enjoy privileges in the Far East; Fourth, the retention of the native army in the Far East. ”

Zichuan Shenxing said slowly: "It seems that although I am old, my memory is not very bad - these conditions do not say that you must be the commander of the Far East!" ”

Zichuan Xiu opened his mouth wide but couldn't speak, Zichuan Shenxing was right, he was really too negligent at that time, thinking that he had taken root in the Far East, and the position of the commander of the Far East would be naturally held by himself, and he didn't expect the possibility of the family being transferred from him.

Zichuan Xiu's fists clenched, and now, the family's intentions have been revealed.

His own power in the Far East is too large and deep-rooted, his grasp of the Far East is far more reliable than the control of a family official over his own jurisdiction, the army is loyal to him, the people are all in respect, and the Far East only knows the King of Light but not the imperial capital, and this situation is absolutely intolerable for the family.

As long as he is still in the Far East, the Far East is his own independent kingdom, a potential land for independence and rebellion, and only by transferring himself and reappointing a commander can the normal balance of power in the Far East be restored.

"Your Highness, I'm worried, I'm not in the Far East, I'm afraid Your Excellency Lin Bing won't be able to hold back the position, right? Can she command the Xiuzi camp? Can she command an orc legion? And the Dragonman Legion, the Dwarven Legion? In the previous wars, the peoples of the Far East had a deep grudge against us, and new commanders had arrived, and they might not have obeyed orders! ”

Zichuan Sanxing seemed to have been prepared for this problem for a long time, and he said slowly: "Ah Xiu, what you think about is very reasonable, but I think that the main force of the Far Eastern Army is the Xiuzi Battalion, and most of the officers and soldiers of the Xiuzi Battalion are soldiers who are loyal to my family. And the Xiuzi battalion is the soul and banner of the Far Eastern army, and if the Xiuzi battalion is stabilized, other foreign armies will definitely be shaken. Bai Chuan, Roger, and Ming Yu held great power in the Far East, and with their cooperation, if there were no people deliberately disrupting and obstructing it, it would not be difficult for my family to regain control of the Far East! ”

Zi Chuan Xiu smiled, but his pupils were gradually narrowing, he didn't understand the meaning of Zi Chuan Shenxing's words, that "some people" simply pointed to his nose to warn.

This hand is really poisonous, the Xiuzi battalion is all the officers and soldiers of the original family, their biggest dream is to return to their hometown, if the pardon order of the head of the Zichuan family goes directly to the army, Zichuan Xiu does not dare to guarantee whether the military camp of the Xiuzi battalion can still leave half of the people.

However, the commander-in-chief still underestimated his own power in the Far East, and his influence did not exist only in the army, and the people of the Far East loved him with one heart, and no one could replace this inspiring appeal.

He sneered: "Your Highness's clever and far-sighted planning really makes your lower officials admire!" Since His Royal Highness has the spirit bead in his hand and has a full grasp, it is better to give His Excellency Lin Bing an order to take office immediately, and there is no need to discuss it with the lower officials. ”

Zichuan Shenxing was speechless, and he said vaguely: "Well, after all, the Far East is the country you single-handedly conquered, and we still have to ask for your opinion." ”

Zichuan Xiu said indifferently: "As long as the family can smoothly take over and stabilize the Far East, I personally have no opinion. ”

Seeing that it was not a way for the two of them to threaten each other in circles here, at this time, Zichuan Yuanxing had to take a step back: "Ah Xiu, the family still needs you, and we need your influence and prestige in the Far East, I hope you can cooperate with us to do a good job in the work of the Far East returning family." ”

What a high-sounding words, the family needs you, needs you to help us do the handover, needs you to help us suppress the Far East, welcome the new commander to take office, and then kick you away - why don't you just tell me to wipe my neck with a knife?

As for the methods that Zichuan Shenxing said, he didn't believe that it would work at all, if he didn't have his consent, Lin Bing, who went to Zhao'an, would be killed at the first intersection out of Valen, without his own cooperation, it would be impossible for the family's rule to continue in the Far East, he understood this, and the Zichuan family also understood this, so they took such pains to appease themselves.

Zichuan Xiu was silent, and Zichuan Shenxing continued to talk to himself: "Ah Xiu, I don't say that you should also understand that there can only be one voice in the land under the fluttering eagle flag of the family, and that is the voice of the imperial capital!" The will of the central authorities must be carried out to the letter. My Zichuan family will never tolerate any country within a country in the country, otherwise, we would rather give up! We can compromise a lot of times, but we don't make deals on this matter of principle! ”

Zichuan Shenxing said gently but firmly: "Commander Axiu, this is not only reused, but also the family's love for you, I don't want you to go astray." You've been in the Far East for too long, it's good for you to leave the Far East for a while, change the environment, understand? Not everyone can enjoy this kind of treatment from the family casually. ”

Zi Chuanxiu was silent for a long time, and slowly asked, "Your Highness, is this already the final decision?" Can I think about it? ”

Zichuan Sanxing said calmly: "This is the final decision of the family, but you can consider whether to accept it or not. ”

The corners of Zi Chuanxiu's mouth curled, revealing a mocking smile. No one spoke, the atmosphere was so solemn and oppressive that you could clearly hear the "clucking" of the old-fashioned table clock on the wall, which was so quiet that it was panicking.

Shikawa Xiu lowered his head and studied his left hand intently, turning his palm over and over again, as if he was studying something curious. In the slight gurgling sound, the minute hand of the large grandfather clock had already gone five squares, and Zi Chuanxiu still didn't say a word, he looked at his right hand again, counted his pulse, and looked at the palm print of his palm.

Zichuan Shenxing's face was blue, and his eyebrows were deeply twisted: "Ah Xiu, what are you doing?" ”

"Ah, Your Highness, I am looking at palmistry, and the fortune teller says that I am twenty-two years old, destined to have a catastrophe, and if I break the earth curse, I will ruin my fortune. Chief, do you have any research on this as well? ”

"You!"

"I didn't believe it much at first, but now I have to believe it," Zichuan Xiu smiled: "No, it's come true, not only is the Far East gone, but I have to fight hard with the stormy cavalry." ”

"You, did you agree?"

"Your Highness, do you think I have the freedom to choose?"

Zichuan Yuanxing changed out an amiable expression again: "Ah Xiu, you shouldn't think like this, what is not a robbery!" Go to the west, this is the family's reuse of you, and it is your opportunity! Although you are already a commander and hold a high position, you may not be able to take a step forward? So, don't get emotional, don't complain. ”

"Your Highness, do you see, am I the kind of person who is ungrateful and does not know what to do? I am full of gratitude to you for giving me such a good opportunity, and I am full of tears of gratitude all the way to the west to take up my post. Zichuan Xiu said hatefully.

Although Zichuan Shenxing kept saying that he would make a choice, but the powerful military of the demon clan overwhelmed the Far East, without the support of the Zichuan family, without the support and in-depth strength of the family's interior, the Far East would undoubtedly die, and he had no choice at all.

Zichuan Shenxing frowned, although he became the commander, this guy is still a hooligan in his bones, fortunately, as long as he agrees to hand over the Far East, he can ignore his attitude or anything.

Zi Chuanxiu turned his head silently, his eyes revealing deep pain.

So, all the sweet words under the tree just now, the expression of true feelings, and the affectionate eyes, are all false? It's just a gentle beauty trick exercised to entrap herself, and when she was indulging in the gentle countryside, the other side had already arranged a god-machine camp that would kill at any time. One hand is a stick, the other is a turnip, coupled with the difficult situation in the Far East, he can't resist it at all.

He heard his own voice say, "I see, how does Your Highness want me to cooperate?" ”

What happened next, he was dizzy as if he had spent it in a dream, and according to Zichuan Sanxing's instructions, he wrote letters to Shirakawa, Roger, and Ming Yu on the spot, to General Bran, the orc general, to Soth of the Snake Clan, Monroe to the Dragonman Clan, to his good friend and life-saving benefactor Delen, and to all the influential officials and leaders in the Far East.

The content of the letter is roughly the same, saying that everything is fine in the imperial capital, everything is going well, and he cares about everyone in the Far East day and night, but after returning to the family, because the family has another important use for himself, he will take up the post of commander of the Black Flag Army on the same day, and he has no time to return to the Far East.

But the Far East to resist the demons can not be without a master for a day, so the family will appoint the famous General Lin Bing in the Far East as the commander of the Far East, although His Excellency Lin Bing is a woman, but she has served as the deputy commander of the Far East for many years, with rich experience and outstanding talent, she will definitely be able to repel the attack of the demons, and she also very much agrees with her as the commander of the Far East.

I hope that you will give full assistance and cooperation to General Lin Bing in doing a good job in the Far East region, so that the Far East can smoothly return to the family and the people can restore peace and happiness as soon as possible.

At the end of the letter, Shikawa Xiu suddenly became narrow-minded and deliberately wrote: "I am writing this letter completely voluntarily and independently, and this letter is an expression of my true will, and there is absolutely no threat to personal safety, restriction of freedom, or any other situation that is involuntary, please rest assured." ”

Seeing this line of words, Zichuan Shenxing's face became ugly, Zichuan Xiu laughed, and crossed it out with a big stroke: "Just kidding, don't care." ”

Zichuan Shenxing "hehe" laughed dryly twice, looking embarrassed.

When it was all done, they returned to the conference room for the meeting.

Zichuan Shenxing held Zi Chuan Ning in one hand and Zi Chuan Xiu in the other, compared to the tense atmosphere when he left just now, now their demeanor is very affectionate, as if Zi Chuan Xiu has become his most confidant, his powerful left hand and right arm!

The leaders of the conference room were so surprised that their eyes were about to fall. When Zi Chuanxiu sat down, Minghui, the commander of the border guards, immediately came over and said affectionately: "I said, Brother Axiu, what tricks did you use to make the chief so comfortable?" I really can't see it, you are a real person who does not show his face, how about teaching his brothers two tricks when you have time? ”

Zichuan Xiu could only smile helplessly.

What the hell was said in the next meeting, Zi Chuanxiu couldn't concentrate at all, his mind was chaotic, the vast black and brown land of the Far East, Bran's serious face, Delen's old face, the fanatical speeches of the temple elders, the bloody war scenes, the solemn temple, those who shouted "Long live the Far East!" And the soldiers of all ethnic groups who fought bloodily, the dead soldiers' eyes that did not blink, all the scenes flew through his mind like movie clips, and he felt a huge impact.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and Zichuan Shenxing's mouth opened and closed and said a few words, as if mentioning his name, and people looked at him with surprise in their eyes.

He hurriedly listened attentively to two sentences, and only then did he know that this was Zichuan Shenxing announcing his appointment, that he would serve as the commander of the Black Flag Army, and that he would go to the Danya Military Region to take up his post that day.

In the loud congratulatory applause, Zi Chuanxiu was expressionless, staring at the window vacantly.

※※※

The clear moonlight silently poured in from the windowsill, illuminating the marble floor.

I don't remember when the meeting ended, but the leaders had long since dispersed, and the huge conference room was frighteningly empty.

Shikawa Xiu now feels like a general who is unwilling to leave the battlefield of his defeat, and his heart is full of unwillingness, resentment, and trepidation.

The Far Easterners returned to their families because they trusted themselves, but at the critical moment when the demons were about to attack, they left the Far East and ran thousands of miles away, enjoying a life of high-ranking officials, respect, and privileges.

A young family leader, maybe the husband of the future chief, a bright future awaits him, he will be in power, and I don't know how many people look at him with envy.

But he knew he was not safe.

If they run away at this time, what will the Far Easterners think of themselves? Will they see themselves as deserters, cowards who flee on their own when disaster is imminent, as a shameless betrayal of the cause of the Far East?

The people of the Far East have been betrayed by mankind many times, will they see themselves as a shameless scum who uses the land of the Far East to ask for merit from the Zichuan family in exchange for high-ranking officials, just as Lei Hong once did? How is his own actions different from Lei Hong? It's just that Lei Hong betrayed the Far East to the Demon Clan, and he betrayed her to the Zichuan family.

With a cliff on the left and a cliff on the right, what should I do?

It took a while for Shikawa Xiu to clear his mind, and he opened the door of the conference room and walked out. The Praetorian Guard officers on duty at the gate of the Governor's Mansion saluted him and opened the door to him.

Outside the gate, the bright moonlight poured down like water, and the ground was silvery white. For a moment, he seemed to have comprehended some mysterious feeling, and his state of mind was as quiet as the moonlight.

He stopped, and there was a beautiful figure standing under the big tree outside the door of the governor's mansion, the slender figure trembling slightly in the cold wind of late autumn.

Zi Chuanxiu strode closer, and the two looked at each other silently.

The dim starlight and the pale moonlight were also alone, but their mood was very different from that at dusk.

The cold wind blew in the middle of the night in late autumn, Zi Chuanning's body trembled in the wind like withered leaves, and her voice trembled a little: "I...... I've been waiting for you to come out. ”

Zi Chuanxiu nodded indifferently: "I can see it." Is there something wrong with me, Your Highness Ning? ”

Zi Chuan Xiu's indifference was even more bleak than the autumn wind, and in an instant, Zi Chuan Ning's face turned pale, her hands clenched, her lips trembled, but she couldn't make a sound. She looked up: "Are you angry?" Why? ”

Shikawa Xiu said calmly, "You should know the reason. ”

Zi Chuanning frowned slightly: "Are you angry about this?" That's it? She said softly: "It was my idea to transfer you out of the Far East." ”

Zichuan Xiuhuo Ran turned around, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, his eyes were as hot as fire, but his tone was very calm: "Why? ”

I had never seen Zi Chuanxiu so angry, his momentum was like a hungry tiger ready to attack, Zi Chuanning was slightly surprised: "Ah Xiu, there is no future in the Far East!" My uncle is thinking about how to eliminate the Flowing Wind Family right now, and he is now single-mindedly focused on the life-and-death war between the Western Front and the Flowing Wind Family, if the demons attack again in the future, the family will not even send a squadron to the Far East! Ah Xiu, you can only stay there and wait for death! ”

Like a basin of cold water poured down, Zi Chuanxiu's anger suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Then, why did he let Lin Bing serve as the commander of the Far East?"

"Although the Far East is not the main battlefield of the family, but a Far East belonging to the demon clan is too dangerous, the demon army can come to the city of Valen at any time, in order to maintain the strategic security of the family's eastern front, although we can't send a large army to the Far East, but logistics, food, grass, weapons and other supplies to us must support the Far East. The troops of all ethnic groups in the Far East will wear the uniforms of the Zichuan family, use the weapons of the Zichuan family, and eat the grain and grass of the Zichuan family—almost all of these materials are provided by the family, which is a huge investment. ”

"The body, soul and blood of the Far Easterners." Zichuan Xiu said coldly.

Zi Chuanning continued: "And Ah Xiu, you also know that my uncle's attitude towards you has always been very ambivalent, and he is very relieved of your ability, but—" She lowered her head, as if thinking about how to express the subtle meaning in her words.

Zichuan Xiu helped her speak: "But you don't worry about my loyalty? ”

Zi Chuanning was silent, and he acquiesced to Zi Chuanxiu's statement.

"So, in the future war with the demons, we in the Far East will not be able to get the assistance of the family army?"

"Not exactly. We will vigorously assist the Far East from all aspects, weapons, food and grass, equipment, medicines, war horses - although the family needs these strategic materials now, we will not be stingy with the just war against the demons in the Far East. ”

Zi Chuanxiu asked: "Will you send troops directly?" ”

Zi Chuanning frowned slightly, and did not answer positively: "In the last war, the family was defeated too badly in the Far East. Now, the upper echelons of the family, including the Senate and the Command, are concerned about resuming war with the demons. Many people believe that the Far East is a chicken rib for the family, and instead of wasting troops to grab food from the mouth of the demon clan, it is better to directly invest troops to compete with the Liufeng family for hegemony. Among them, your eldest brother Di Lin is the representative of this school of arguments, and now, this kind of argument is very marketable and has a great influence on my uncle. ”

Zichuan Xiu nodded silently, now, he is simply disappointed in the Zichuan family.

He understood many of Zichuan Ning's unspoken words: Zichuan Shenxing didn't care about the Far East at all, he wanted to use the Far East as a strategic shield and a barrier to consume the demon clan's troops. He was afraid of the demons, but he was even more worried about Zichuan Xiu, his defense against Zichuan Xiu was like a thief. The Far East Tiangao Emperor is far away, in case Zichuan Xiu takes refuge in the demon clan or supports the independence of the army, is the family's investment and hard work not in vain?

"A-Ning, if, I mean, if I refuse to accept the appointment of commander of the Black Flag Army, what will your uncle do? Will he kill me? ”

"Killing you will make a feud with your subordinates in the Far East, and it will also make the two families of Stirling and Dilin recentrifuge, this kind of thing, my uncle will not do, but he will completely abandon the Far East - instead of investing heavily in the Far East and eventually cultivating a warlord, it is better to make a decision now." Zi Chuanning said softly: "The attitude of the family is very resolute. ”

Zi Chuanxiu sneered and said nothing, the attitude of the family is very resolute, that is, resolutely never give himself a chance to sit big.

In the past, Yang Minghua saw that he had the opportunity to command the army, and hurriedly transferred himself back from the Far East, and now Zichuan Sanxing is also like this, he would rather believe that Lin Bing, a general with a foreign surname, is in charge of the Far East than believe that he has the surname Zichuan.

Zichuan Xiu said sarcastically: "Then, the commander-in-chief can rest assured that I am the commander of the Black Flag Army in the west?" Let me command an army of 400,000 to attack the Flowing Wind Family, and our Highness will not worry about me turning my gun and killing it back? ”

"It's also a last resort! Ah Xiu, you have made great contributions, you have suffered so many grievances, and if you are not promoted to be the commander, even the Senate will not be able to look at it. Moreover, you are a general who is accustomed to soldiers, and you should know the difference: the Far East is the regime and army that you have created, where you can really do whatever you want; But in the Danya Military Region, where there is an independent army culture and traditions, you are just an ordinary army commander appointed by the family, an outsider, and if you want to rebel, will the officers and soldiers follow you? ”

Zichuan Xiu nodded slowly, in addition to the position of the commander of the Far East, only the position of the commander of the Black Flag Army is vacant, so to speak, even if he is the commander of the Black Flag Army, Zichuan Sanxing is also unwilling by the boss, maybe he still looks at the face of Sterling and Dilin. If he had done what he had intended, he would have been willing to send himself to a remote mountainous area to be the head of the village.

He sighed: "It seems that even if you are the chief executive, you can't do what you want!" ”

Zi Chuanning looked at him suspiciously, she had expected his reaction, after learning the truth, he would be furious or furious? Unexpectedly, his reaction was just such a faint sentence.

She stared at him with wonderful eyes: "Brother Ah Xiu, I also want to ask you one thing, from the bottom of your heart, how did you position yourself?" Why is your mood so bad when you are transferred out of the Far East? Do you think of yourself as the ruler of the Zichuan family, or a warlord in the Far East? ”

Zichuan Xiu asked rhetorically, "What about you?" A-Ning, I also want to ask you, from what position do you stand on to ask this sentence? Is it Zi Chuan Ning, who has been my childhood sweetheart since childhood, or His Royal Highness Zi Chuan Ning, the assistant to the head of the Zichuan family and the future heir? ”

Zi Chuanning was shocked, both of them stopped, and one step away, Zi Chuanxiu stared at her deeply, and sighed: "A-Ning, you have changed, you have really changed, you have become something I dare not recognize!" ”

Zi Chuanning has changed, she is no longer the innocent and pure girl, and now, like her uncle, she is a deep politician who puts the interests of the family first.

If it was just that, Zi Chuan Xiu could barely understand her, because she was the heir who was about to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the entire family, but what made him unbearable was that Zi Chuan Ning deliberately hurriedly reconciled with him before the meeting, using tenderness to envelop him, and she actually used the purest feelings between the two as a bargaining chip to force herself to hand over the Far East!

Zi Chuanning said in a trembling voice: "Whether it is the assistant to the chief or something else, my mind for you has never changed. Brother Xiu, I'm just following in your footsteps. I just hope that I can be a person who can help you, when you risk your life on the battlefield, I can do more than just look at your back, and then pray for you at home, I always hope to do something for you, even if it's a small thing - Brother Xiu, don't you understand my heart? ”

"Forcing me to leave the Far East, to leave my cause and my people - this is what you did for me?" In the middle of the night, Zi Chuanxiu's trembling voice was low but rather sharp, and it spread far away in the cold, empty streets.

"Brother Axiu! Don't you understand? I'm here for your good, the demons will come back at any time, and you can only wait to die if you stay in the Far East! ”

"If I ever want to die, I want to die in the Far East."

Zi Chuanning was shocked, and she said softly: "Brother Xiu, you said that I have changed, but in fact it is not, it is you who have changed!" Coming back from the Far East, your whole person has changed! Uncle said that you could establish yourself king in the Far East at any time, at first I couldn't believe it, but now ...... I believe it! ”

She lowered her head: "The family asked you to leave the Far East, that is the care and love for you, otherwise you will go astray sooner or later!" What is the magic of the Far East that makes you so smitted? ”

Zi Chuan Xiu smiled nervously, Zi Chuan Ning was right, there was really a mysterious magic in the Far East, a thin line that could not be seen firmly tied him to that land, he was so fascinated by the vast and boundless brown land.

"Ah Xiu, although my uncle is sorry for you, our Zichuan family has always been your birthplace and the homeland where you grew up. Now, the Zichuan family is facing a life-and-death crisis, we are facing a strong enemy of the Liufeng family, and we need generals like you who can fight well to contribute to the country, for the sake of the family, for your good brothers Sterling and Dilin, and even, for me - think about it, in the future, we will be together, uncle A hundred years later, the entire Zichuan family, including the current Liufeng family, will be yours, and the reward you will get at that time is more than a Far East! ”

Speaking of this, Zi Chuan Ning's pale face showed a flush: "For the sake of these, can't you give up the Far East?" ”

Zichuan Xiu said quietly: "No." ”

Zi Chuanning's face suddenly became bloodless, and she cried out in a lost voice: "Isn't it, isn't it, you don't love me anymore?" ”

Hearing this, Zichuan Xiu almost wanted to laugh out loud, this is the naïve common disease of all young girls, they think that love can solve all problems, as long as there is love, the world will immediately become a pure land and paradise, there will no longer be any troubles and tears in life, and there will be no more disputes and wars - people like themselves who have been through the storm for a long time know that love is only a part of life, although it is important, but it is not the whole of life after all.

Staring at Zi Chuanning's teary eyes, he said softly: "No, A-Ning, you will always be the love of my life, in those most difficult days, I fantasize about you spending that cold winter night with bright eyes in the distance; I would rather die if I lost you, and in those days when I lost you, I was a rain of arrows that rushed to the enemy with your name. The sea will wither, the stone will rot, my love for you will not swerve in this life, and I will always love you until the moment I stop breathing. ”

Listening to Zi Chuan Xiu's first confession, hearing the touching love words, Zi Chuan Ning's heart shook, she took out a handkerchief and wanted to stop her tears, but she couldn't stop it, and big tears kept rolling out.

Happiness came so unexpectedly, the ocean of joy surrounded her all at once, and at this moment, she collapsed, she suddenly fell into Zichuan Xiu's arms, crying and saying, "Brother Axiu, yes, I'm sorry!" ”

Shikawa Xiu didn't know what her "sorry" really meant, was it to apologize for her wavering and betrayal, or to apologize for driving herself away from the Far East? He had no intention of delving, looking at her trembling body, her frozen purple lips and red face, his heart was flooded with an inexplicable pity and tenderness.

For whom does the wind stand in the middle of the night, and the belt gradually widens and never regrets it? Looking at the delicate face of the girl in her arms, Zi Chuanxiu couldn't help lowering her head and kissing her lightly on the forehead, and her lips only felt a coldness.

He felt that Zi Chuanning was trembling slightly in his arms, his face was flushed, and he was so excited that he cried with joy.

Zi Chuanxiu's eyes shone with a gentle light, and his gaze drifted over Zi Chuanning, looking up at the sky.

At some point, the clouds had all dispersed, and the moon was dimly shining on the earth.

"I love you, but I still can't give up the Far East for you." Slowly, sadly, he said, "There are other things besides love, and some things are more important. ”

Zi Chuanning raised his head suddenly: "What is that?" She blushed and looked up at Zi Chuanxiu.

Zi Chuanxiu didn't look at her, he still looked up at the dark night sky and spoke, as if the object of his confiding at this time was not Zi Chuanning, but some existence above humanity in the sky: "Responsibility, concern, commitment, faith, duty—or whatever you imagine, it's hard to describe my feelings for the Far East, it's more like an obligation—no, it's a debt, I owe it to the Far East." The people there revere me as king, and I am responsible to them, just as you, as heir, are responsible for the future of your family. ”

Zi Chuan Ning said seriously: "If it is for you, I can give up my status as the heir of my family. ”

Zi Chuanxiu shook his head lightly: "I can't." ”

At this moment, how many familiar figures appeared in front of him, the suicide of General Vera, the honest half-orc general Busen, the death of the temple elder Boudin, the resolute and calm General Bran, the villagers of Bulu Village who risked their lives to follow him, as well as the countless Far Eastern soldiers, those simple and kind people, and even those foreign generals who always made trouble with themselves, Soth, Ruzo and others.

These people are not perfect saints, they all have their own little faults, some are greedy for money, some are cowardly, some are ignorant, some are selfish, some even betray themselves - but in the end, they all completely surrender their dreams and hopes to themselves, those who are dead and alive, and the future of the Far East is completely in their own hands.

The thousand-year-old dream of freedom of the Far Eastern nation was finally entrusted to him, an outsider, and he shouldered the expectations of countless people, and that heavy sense of trust made Zichuan Xiu unable to relax.

At the moment of their own enjoyment, thousands of soldiers and civilians in the Far East will fall in a pool of blood in the battle with the demons, including their own subordinates, comrades-in-arms, benefactors, and those cities and towns will be lit with thick black smoke.

The girl's body in her arms suddenly stiffened, she broke free from Zichuan Xiu's arms, stood up straight, and her eyes were filled with tears: "So, can't you compromise?" Just for the sake of a few orc hillbillies from the Far East, you're leaving me? ”

Zi Chuanxiu looked at her quietly, her eyes revealing silent sadness.

Maybe Zi Chuanning is right, he has really changed, or maybe both of them have changed.

The career she is fighting for and passionate about, in the eyes of a Tianhuang aristocrat like Zi Chuanning, is just "a few half-orc hillbillies from the Far East", she and herself are two classes with completely different outlooks on life and values, conflicts will happen sooner or later, and what is even more terrifying is that her previous self actually had the same idea as her! What a huge difference there is between the past self and the present self.

Zi Chuanning said in a trembling voice: "You said that you will love me forever!" ”

“……”

"You speak!"

"I lied."

With a "snap", Zi Chuanning slapped him hard. He remained motionless, looking at Zi Chuanning steadily, his eyes revealing deep sadness.

Looking at the red palm prints on his face, Zi Chuanning was stunned, unable to believe that this was her own doing, and then, she cried bitterly.

He looked thoughtfully at her clear tears, and his own eyes moistened: "Before, you were my faith, but after today—" He said slowly, "My faith is the land of the Far East." ”

"I'm sorry, Aning, I owe you. When it's cold, wear extra clothes. He bowed slightly, turned and walked forward.

Zi Chuanning wanted to keep up with him, but his steps were so big, so fast, as fast as a meteor, she tried to speed up, she walked briskly, she ran, she ran out of breath, but the distance still couldn't be reduced, and his figure was getting farther and farther away from her.

Only then did she realize how deeply her actions had hurt him. At last, as she watched his tall figure and broad shoulders disappear at the end of the long street of black night, she stopped in despair, threw herself on the ground and cried aloud, letting her hot and wet forehead that had just been kissed cling to the cold, rough road, and letting the rough gravel rub against her delicate face.

The cry alarmed the guards of the Governor's Mansion, and they came out to watch in amazement, at a loss.

Above her, a series of streetlights flickered like fire, spinning and spinning.

※※※

"Gourley!"

Captain Gu Lei was startled, and only then did he hear the voice of someone outside the door, and quickly got up from the bed and opened the door: "My lord? ”

Zi Chuanxiu's face was amazingly pale, and although it was late autumn, he was drenched in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

Gu Lei was shocked: "My lord, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong? ”

Zi Chuanxiu looked at him stunned, as if looking at someone who didn't know him.

Gu Lei hurriedly reached out to touch Zi Chuanxiu's forehead: "My lord, are you sick?" Your face is so scary! ”

Shikawa shook his head and sat down at the table.

Guray hurriedly brought him boiling water and a hot towel to wipe his face.

Staring at his captain of the guard, Zi Chuanxiu suddenly asked, "Gu Lei, are you afraid of death?" ”

Gu Lei was stunned for a moment, looking at Zichuan Xiu's stern face, he realized that this was definitely not a joke, and he stood solemnly: "My lord, please give an order!" Even if I die, I'll get the job done! ”

"Not to death. I just want you to go back to the Far East to convey a secret order of mine, which can only be conveyed to General Shirakawa alone. ”

"I see, except for General Shirakawa, no one wants to touch a finger of an adult's order! Your Excellency, please feel free to give me the order, and no one will want to touch it unless I die! ”

Zi Chuanxiu shook his head slowly: "This order is extraordinary, it is too dangerous to put it into words. From now on, Guray, you memorize every word I say, and then repeat it to General Shirakawa in its entirety! ”

Gu Lei's swarthy face showed an embarrassed expression, this man with five big and three rough wants him to be proficient in fighting and fighting, but if he wants to memorize a passage, it is inevitably too difficult for a strong man. He scratched his head and said, "My lord, I'll do my best." ”

Shikawa Xiu encouraged him: "You don't have to memorize word by word, but you have to remember the main meaning!" He gave the order.

Outside the window, the autumn breeze was bleak, the fallen leaves were scattered, and the bleak moonlight shone in, illuminating the faces of the two people as white as dead people.

Looking at Gu Lei's pale face, Zi Chuanxiu said slowly: "Now, are you afraid?" ”

Gu Lei swallowed his saliva: "My lord, I ...... I don't understand why this is being done? Isn't it mean? ”

Zi Chuan Xiu said sharply: "It doesn't matter to you how you give orders, you are just a tool for heralding." If you refuse to go, I will find someone among the other guards who is willing to obey orders!" ”

Gu Lei was silent for a while, and finally said with difficulty: "My lord, I obey the order!" ”

"Be sure to get the order delivered, and quickly!"

"Yes! Unless I die, I'll deliver the order! ”

Zi Chuanxiu said angrily: "Even if you die, you have to pass the order to me!" ”

Gu Lei straightened up: "Understood, my lord! ”

He hesitated and said, "My lord, I will carry out the order, even if I die." But sir, whether you call me stupid or say it's none of my business, I still want to ask, why do you want to do this? You, you weren't like that before! How could you have done such a thing before? ”

"Presumptuous!" Zichuan Xiu didn't raise his head, and slapped him over.

Gu Lei did not avoid this slap, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were still full of inquiry and doubt, and they were still the kind of eyes that were in disbelief.

Not daring to meet those righteous eyes, Shikawa Xiu removed her eyes and looked out the window.

On the surface, his figure is still standing upright, his voice is still firm, and only he knows how painful the struggle and fight is going on in the depths of his heart.

In the future, it will be difficult for me to kiss children again, because I will no longer be able to look at the pure and flawless eyes of children with a clear conscience.

After thinking for a while, he sat down at the table and wrote: "Because the family is threatening to end the aid to the Far East, and the demon clan is about to invade the west, we really can't make another strong enemy in the west, so I have to succumb to its pressure and give up the position of the commander of the Far East."

"In addition, the family is about to use troops on the Western Front in a big way, and may not have time to take care of the Far East. The order brought back by Gu Lei is incomprehensible, but it is the only way to alleviate the crisis in my Far East, and you must carry it out as soon as possible! This is the final order of me, the King of Light of the Far East, and if the matter is exposed in the future, all the responsibility will be borne by me.

"The flames of war are about to ignite, the swords and guns have been polished, puff up their chests and plunge into the bloody battle, and the Senea Demon Clan is close at hand! Although I am thousands of miles away, I have not abandoned the land of the Far East, and I will live and die with the Far East, and live and die with all the kings. If the Far East wins, I will raise a glass with you thousands of miles away; If the land is unfortunately fallen, and the kings are finally martyred in battle, I will not live alone.

"Believe me, I'm going to come back to you. We will meet eventually, in this life or in heaven. Long live the great Far East! Long live our freedom! ”

After writing the letter, unconsciously, his cheeks were filled with tears, and Gu Lei, who was watching from the side, couldn't cry.

He folded the letter and handed it to Guray, and said in a deep voice, "All please!" ”

"My lord! Let you go to the west alone, and there is no reliable person around you, how can it work? Admiral Shirakawa killed me! ”

Zi Chuanxiu sneered silently and looked at his cold face on the window: "Don't be afraid! A person like me who has done absolutely bad things will never die early. If there is a hell in the world, then let me go down, maybe I will live a faster life! ”
