Chapter 298: Waiting
When night falls, the village of water falls silent. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that after nightfall tonight, the water village is exceptionally quiet, and this silence is like the silence before the storm, and the silence makes people feel frightened.
Chen Hong sat on the mahogany carved hollow Taishi chair, holding a cup of fragrant tea in his hand and drinking quietly, and sitting opposite him was the water demon, whose face was still so calm and cold, and now it looked even more unkind.
There was no shadow of a bamboo forest on the ground outside the courtyard, the moon was hidden behind the dark clouds, and the weather that was supposed to rain made the dreary compound even more frightening.
At noon today, Chen Hong received a letter, saying that he would go to the Sword Mansion to attend the supervision conference in the evening.
In order to prevent high-level personnel from abusing their powers, Jizhou set up such a department, and the positions of the supervisors were very low, and their powers were very small and very large.
The reason why I say this is because these inspectors have no right to meddle in most of the affairs of Jizhou, and there is only one thing they can do, which is to supervise the personnel of the high-level part, especially the actions of the governor of the Sword Mansion, which is also their duty.
In the operation of the Jizhou regime, the Supervision Conference is a special means to balance the power of the governor of the Jianfu and the lower-level personnel, and the existence of the inspector makes the governor of the Jianfu not dare to do whatever he wants, which will also make the power no longer centralized, and can ensure the fairness of a considerable part of the matter.
Most of the time, the Supervision Conference will not be held, because most of the goals of the Supervision Conference are aimed at the governor of Jianfu, but once it is held, it means that there will definitely be something big in Jizhou.
Chen Hong has been in the position of the governor of Jianfu for decades, and naturally knows everything about what happened in Jizhou, in fact, there is no need to think about it, just guess at random, and know that this matter was done by Qiu Renxia.
It has been a few days since Okra and Xiao Bai were imprisoned in the prison, and in the past few days, not only the Qiu family and Xiaoxue are actively preparing to resist, but Chen Hong and the water demon are also preparing.
is ready to wipe everyone out, and then completely control the power of Jizhou.
In the previous confrontation, Chen Hong had already felt that the old fox Qiu Renxia couldn't bear his patience, he knew that this time, that old thing would definitely not be satisfied with giving okra out, the two of them had been fighting for so many years, and they had been fighting with each other for so many years, Chen Hong naturally understood what Qiu Renxia wanted to do.
Change the position, sometimes things will become very clear, if it is himself, he will also choose to attack at this time and completely knock down the enemy's position.
Chen Hong has laid a lot of eyeliner in Jizhou over the years, originally he thought that these people were useless, but things were beyond his expectations, just based on the news from those people, Chen Hong has not raised them in vain for so many years.
Qiu Renxia, the old fox, has been hidden for so many years, after all, he still can't hold back his patience, but what everyone doesn't know is that in the struggle for power, whoever makes the first move will fall into the disadvantage, one wrong step and one wrong step, as long as he makes the wrong first step, all the next chess pieces will make the wrong move.
In the past few days, Chen Hong and the water demon have been constantly preparing, since Qiu Renxia is not emotional, Chen Hong naturally will not leave him any way back.
Chen Hong drank the tea quietly, stretched out his hand and tapped on the tabletop, thinking about what was going to happen next.
Next to the patio outside the courtyard, a strong wind hung outside, and a large bamboo forest was slapped and crackled, and the withered yellow bamboo leaves fell to the ground, and many leaves still floated into the well.
The wind howled, stirring the restless hearts of many people.
Several forces have shown their hideous faces, and in this battle, everyone has their own purpose, they all want to win, and they all want to protect their own interests.
Maybe there really is no right or wrong, everyone is selfish, but sometimes different positions will lead to different opinions, so that everyone chooses different paths.
Xiaoxue changed into a night suit, and the long sword was also wiped by her over and over again, and the sound of light raindrops was gradually remembered outside the house, and the fresh and humid air rushed in through the wooden window, but Xiaoxue clearly smelled blood from the air.
"Let's be a little bigger," Xiaoxue said softly, standing in front of the wooden window, with a sharp sword on her back, "The current rain is not enough to wash away all the blood and shame." ”
In the prison, which was barely a mile away, a young girl snuggled up to another teenager, gasping evenly.
Since entering the Red of the Heavenly Prison, Okra has been treating Xiao Bai's injuries, and as Xiao Bai's injuries are getting lighter and lighter, Okra's physical strength is getting weaker and weaker.
In just a few days, okra has already lost weight again, Xiao Bai looked at the thin figure, and his heart couldn't stop aching.
There are people who appear in your life and seem to give everything for you for no reason, but there is a real reason.
Xiao Bai recalled a lot of things, remembering that at the beginning of the trial, Okra began to reveal news to herself, and later she told herself the mystery of her life experience, so that she could regain her confidence and return to the path of a swordsman.
Later, he participated in the kendo conference, accompanied and followed along the way, Xiao Bai met too many good people, got too many cultivation opportunities that were difficult to copy, and many things could not have been coincidental without the help of okra.
At present, in the most difficult time of her life, she also took the initiative to be by her side, never complained, only knew how to pay silently.
Xiao Bai's heart was completely touched, he had experienced so many dangers, and there was no reason why he should not desperately survive this crisis and leave this place with okra.
The night was getting thicker and thicker, Xiao Bai looked at the sleeping face in his arms, and his heart was pounding.
He knew that it was not a quiet night, and he was also quietly waiting for the arrival of the people outside.
Previously, in the Sword Mansion, when Xiao Xue and Qiu Renxia came together, after a series of quarrels, Okra finally decided to be imprisoned with Xiao Bai.
At that time, Xiaoxue took the initiative to give a bottle of elixir to okra, along with a piece to okra, as well as her plan to decide to rob the prison.
At that time, Xiaoxue clearly judged the situation in Jizhou, and it was completely impossible for them to get Xiao Bai and okra out of the prison, without knocking down Chen Hong and using violent means.
In order to heal Xiao Bai's injuries, okra has completely exhausted her physical strength, and today is the second day of her coma.
Xiao Bai sat on the ground with okra in his arms, quietly waiting for that time to come.
