The "guests" arrived at nine o'clock in the morning.

The "reception" venue is in a conference hall on the west side of Xiao Heng's office.

Before the guests arrived, Zhu Dipang made the last confirmation with Li Zhen.

But Li Zhen showed ...... Rare hesitation. This hesitation of his retreat was so rare and obvious that it would take him ten minutes to convince him again.

Lee's reason was that he felt something was strange.

But Zhu Dipong was confident. He even told Li Zhen in detail what was going to happen next.

For example, the very cliché and effective "cup for the number".

The other party will definitely try to provoke Li Zhen, and then drop a cup in front of him.

At this time, the eight A-class generals they brought with them broke out and tried to attack and kill Li Zhen. According to their plan, Zhu Dipang should "trigger but not trigger" at this moment - he will not activate the force field limiting device.

So the eight A-class generals easily killed Li Zhen, who no longer had the spear of Longinus, lost his shelter, and became extremely weak.

But here with Li Zhen, Zhu Dipong will turn on the device. So the eight A-class became ordinary people in that instant...... Then the gunners, who had already set up the gun, would rush in and subdue them.

Li Zhen took a slight breath and smiled reluctantly: "I've seen those gunmen." It's really elite. ”

"It's elite, and it's loyal and reliable." Zhu Di Pang said solemnly, "In the past, they were all soldiers who were unwilling to fight for the tigers, and I protected them for a while, so now I heard about you, general. They're willing to go out of your way for you. You talked with them all morning...... Can't you trust them? ”

"It's not that ......I can't believe them," Li Zhen muttered.

"So...... You can't trust me? Zhu Dipang's face changed.

Li Zhen raised his head to look at him and did not answer immediately.

He stared at Zhu Dipang and suddenly said in a deep voice, "What benefits did they give you?!" ”

Such a shout seemed to startle Zhu Dipang. His expression instantly became complicated. At first there was surprise, then disbelief, then unspeakable disappointment and sadness. He gritted his teeth fiercely: "General, why do you say that?" ”

Li Zhen was still staring at him. After a while, Zhan Yan smiled: "Huh...... Just kidding. ”

Zhu Dipang still blushed: "You are testing me." ”

Li Zhen shrugged: "You know, the success or failure of this matter depends on you as a person." It doesn't matter if I'm in danger or not, it's ...... The safety of more than one million people in Yuzhou. I'm tempting you—because I can't risk them with them. I'm sorry. ”

Zhu Dibang's face softened slightly. He said in a deep voice, "General." It's not me who matters. It's yourself. You're here, whether I turn on that generator or not...... Don't you have it all in your mind? ”

Li Zhen was slightly stunned, and after two seconds he barely smiled: "Huh...... That's right. ”

He then turned his head and grasped the Longinus spear in his hand, "So." Let's go. ”

Zhu Dipong looked at him deeply. Turn around and walk into another room.

A night of rushing work. Four force field restraints are to be placed in this room. There was no way to restrict Li Zhen in the past, but at this moment, he could show his might - even the king-level would become weak under the strong effect of this base station-type system, let alone the A-level.

If it's turned on.

Li Zhen walked into the conference room, carrying a gun.

A long conference table. It looks very much like the one that Li Zhen burned in the Nanhai conference room. It's just that at that time, he was a small character who went to Yanjing to report on his work, and in the eyes of many people, he has become a person who has the ability to maintain the most important dignity of the empire.

The meeting room is simple and silent. His position is in the north, sitting on the north and facing south. The layout of this room was arranged by Xiao Heng, and the fact of "sitting north and facing south" almost explained some of his desires. Behind the main seat are two flags, one of which is the flag of the empire and the other is the flag of the municipality.

It's just that after Xiao Heng came to power, he replaced the two flags and replaced them with the Cangyue Xingmang Banner that he had newly made.

There were twenty-six people sitting at the side of the long table, and each of them brought a personal guard, and the eight A-level in Zhu Dipang's mouth were probably among those people.

Li Zhen attracted everyone's attention. But those eyes rested on his face first, and then on the spear of Longinus.

He walked to the main seat with a blank face, nodded slightly to everyone present, and said in a serious and gentle tone: "Fortunately, everyone. ”

Those people, male and female, older and younger, remained silent.

Until a gray-haired old man at the top right smiled slightly: "General Li, fortunately." ”

Li Zhen looked at him and curled the corners of his mouth: "You must be Lao Shi." ”

The old man was stunned for a moment, and then Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "The title of the general is elegant-so the general also has a table?" ”

Quite a few people exchanged glances in silence. But silence could not hide a certain look of disdain and ridicule from them. In fact, until now, in the eyes of many people, the word soldier is also associated with the word puppet. Especially this kind of young man who has the ambition to climb to a high position purely with extraordinary strength.

In today's modern society, does a puppet have a table?

Li Zhen sat down. He said in a deep voice: "I am favored by the public and given to you...... Table word subtext. ”

The old man was slightly stunned, and said softly: "Pingyang Yinggong? ”

"Yes." Li Zhen smiled, "Ying Gong is a generous elder, and I have the honor to listen to Ying Gong's teachings in Jinghu Villa. ”

So the disdain of some people has diminished slightly. It's not because of Ying Gong's current power - in the current empire, no matter how powerful it is, it is only one city and one place. The natural power has divided one natural power after another on behalf of human beings, and even if the former Pingyang Marquis was powerful, he could not control the half of Yuzhou, which is located in the southwest.

Something else is actually – the long history behind that surname. This kind of thing is ethereal compared to power and wealth, but it can still make many people feel awe.

And this kind of reverence that has no real effect on one's own interests is more acceptable.

Lao Shi showed an expression of sudden realization. But then he sighed slightly: "Since you have to be given the word Ziwen by the public, it is not very appropriate to do this." ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the spear of Longinus in Li Zhen's hand: "Today we will sit down and talk—openly and honestly, and in the General's Palace." Ziwen stayed here for four days, and everything must have been arranged seamlessly. Then on such an occasion, with a weapon in your hand—"

He smiled and shook his head: "The soldiers are fierce." ”

Li Zhen smiled: "You mind this thing so much? ”

He flipped the gun in his hand and smiled heartily: "Then take it." ”

Li Zhen turned his head and shouted: "Zhu Dibang! ”

And Zhu Dipong appeared at the door almost as soon as he finished speaking. Li Zhen raised his hand and threw the gun over: "Next." ”

A very interesting scene appeared. The eyes of the more than twenty people at the conference table all followed the spear in an arc in the air.

The ivory-white spear was taken in by Zhu Dipang. But he didn't leave immediately, but stayed for two seconds.

In the space of two seconds, he made a small movement - he shook it firmly with both hands.

Then he glanced around at everyone present and slowly retreated.

Throw the gun, withdraw your hand. These two actions took a total of two seconds.

And it was after these two seconds that the atmosphere in the conference room changed subtly.

Whispers rang out.

If when Li Zhen first came in, their eyes contained jealousy and disdain, then at this time, they became relieved, as well as faint excitement and excitement.

But no one was more obvious.

Even Lao Shi was looking at Li Zhen intently.

This scene was a little weird, until Li Zhen smiled slightly and tried to speak.

However, I couldn't hold back after all. Coughed.

This sound was like the first drop of blood from a man who had fallen into the water. The smell of blood instantly spread throughout the sea, and the ferocious sharks heard the news.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Coughing, Li Zhen held back. He continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have come today to make sure of a few things. Everyone must know that Xiao Heng is dead. And before he was ambushed, something quite abnormal happened in Yuzhou. I'm going to ...... this time."

But a voice interrupted him. The voice belonged to a middle-aged man with white cheeks, and he frowned slightly and looked at Li Zhen with a smile: "General Li, are you not feeling well?" ”

Li Zhen's face turned cold and looked at the man. But the other party did not show weakness in returning a look, and his tone became more and more rude: "If you are not feeling well, or if you are seriously injured...... What else can you do? ”

Li Zhen turned to Lao Shi: "I thought you were the one who could speak." ”

But the old man smiled slightly, and his tone was cold. The attitude changed from gentle and polite just now to gloomy and uncertain now: "There is nothing to say that is not worth saying...... It's just that everyone looks up to me. ”

He paused: "I'm afraid it's a Hongmen banquet this time, general." I heard that you plan to 'wipe us out', and I also heard that the general promised in front of many people that the people who had followed Xiao Heng ...... I don't plan to let any of them go. ”

Li Zhen's face also turned cold. He stared at Lao Shi for a few seconds, and suddenly smiled: "What if it is?" What are you going to ...... Drop the cup? And then kill me here? ”

Lao Shi smiled and shook his head: "You are too young after all." ”

Then he turned his face slightly and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Dibang! ”

So Zhu Dipong appeared at the door.

Li Zhen turned his head to look at him. He also looked at Li Zhen and said expressionlessly: "That gun has been taken far away-I keep folding, it's true." There were a few gunmen in the room over there—I took care of them all. (To be continued......)
