The storm rolled up the sky and covered the sky with yellow sand over the Noaa Desert like a curtain in front of a chuáng. The lizard took refuge in the crevice of the stone before the larger sand hit, and probably prayed countless times in its heart that the stone above its head would not suddenly fall in the storm. After a while, the raging yellow sand filled the cracks in the stones, and the lizards turned over the sand little by little, waiting for the next burial.

The storm swept through the cracks in the stones, and the temporary occupants in the cracks were startled, but the storm outside did not allow it to have any thoughts of acting rashly, and the lizard turned its head to the side, holding back the fear in its heart, and waited in the cracks of the stone for the moment when the storm stopped.

Several people in the room looked at the door, and the general responded softly and walked to the door. The moment they open the door, Red Bean and Fluttershy are stunned, and the person at the door pats the yellow sand on the door (shēn) and says.

"It's really too much to bother."

The general smiled faintly and said.

"You're serious, please come in."

Liu Yi took off the hat on his head and put it on the coffee table, and sat opposite the red bean. 红豆起 (shēn) asked the general.

"What do you mean, General?"

The general smiled faintly and said.

"I think you still have some things to clarify, so I specially called both of you this time, and it would be better for you to negotiate your own affairs before selling Han Bing to me."

With that, the general left the room and locked the door outside. The atmosphere in the room is tense at this time, first of all, Fluttershy is very hostile to Liu Yi, but she has been by Liu Yi's side (shēn) all these years, so she is very good at hiding. Secondly, Hongdou never thought that the general would bring Liu Yi here, and now this (qíng) situation should make Liu Yi willing to give up the cold ice of the world? When he was hesitating, Liu Yi knocked the ground with his cane and said.

"Let's make a deal."

Red Bean raised her eyebrows lightly and said.

"What deal?"

"I'll trade the command of the CLA for the Sealed Ice."

"Why should I agree? You took all of the CLA out of my hands at the beginning, and now you only exchange it for command, and your wishful thinking is really loud. ”

"I'm already this age, and I don't have a few days to live, so you should have pity on me."

"Why didn't you have mercy on me when you killed me in the first place?"

"It's useless to talk too much, you can set your conditions."

"My condition is that you disappear from my eyes, I will not hand over the ice of the world to you, and I will take it back by my own strength."

"That's it, that's it."

Liu Yi let out a long sigh and stood up on crutches, glanced meaningfully at the red beans, and then turned (shēn) and went out. Fluttershy says.

"Sister Hongdou, you just rejected that old thing, you look too handsome."

As she finished speaking, a smoke grenade is thrown through the crack in the door, and Redbean pushes Fluttershy aside, pulls out the pistol behind her waist, and says.

"This old thing dog jumped off the wall in a hurry, be careful."

Then the door was slammed open, and several heavily armed CLA team members rushed in, shouting at the leader.

"Sister Hongdou, you'd better come out on your own, we don't want to hurt you."

As soon as the words fell, I saw a cold light slashing towards the speaker's throat, and blood splattered. The temperature of the flame (rè) made the smell of blood evaporate more quickly, and the red bean was aroused by the smell of blood, and she shook off the blood on the bayonet of her pistol and said.

"When you decide to follow Liu Yi for money, you are no longer my family."

When a number of CLA members appear at the door, the sound of bullets bursting into the air ensues, and Fluttershy picks up the rifle on the floor and slashes at the CLA team members as they enter. One after another, the enemy fell to the ground, and the general's once neat home was now scarred. Seeing that no more enemies were coming in, Hongdou said as she looked at the dead bodies on the ground and the bullet holes in the wall.

"How should I explain to the general now?"

At this time, Hongdou's phone rang, and it was a member of the CLA team who followed him, and the other party said.

"Sister Hongdou, it's not good. Liu Yi brought someone to grab the ice. ”

Hongdou hung up the phone and said.

"Oh no, we've been tricked."

Fluttershy asks, suspiciously.

"What's wrong?"

"These people are here to distract us, Liu Yi's large army has surrounded the transport plane, and they want to grab the cold ice."

By this time, the wind and sand outside the house had dispersed, and the general was sitting on the roof of the building, with a pot of black tea and some delicate snacks on the table next to him, and she asked the assistant who was holding an umbrella next to (shēn).

"Has Liu Yi's people arrived?"

"We've arrived at the airport of the red bean transport plane."

"Well, prepare the helicopter, and we'll go too."

"Understood."

Redbean and Fluttershy make their way to the airport. When I got there, I saw that the team members on the transport plane were fighting hard, and the two groups of CLA team members were constantly exchanging fire. Redbean and Fluttershy rush to the side of the plane and quickly get on the plane, as one of the team members comes over and says.

"Sister Hongdou, their firepower is fiercer than ours, it is estimated that they will occupy the plane soon, what should we do?"

Red Bean sighed and said.

"Let our people cease fire."

Hearing this, the team members looked at the red beans in surprise and said.

"Sister Hongdou, are we going to surrender?"

红豆转 (shēn) walked towards the cockpit, picked up the megaphone on it and shouted loudly.

"Stop it."

Everyone was stunned by the sound of red beans, the sound of gunfire gradually dissipated in the wind and sand, Liu Yi put down the binoculars in his hand in the RV in the distance, and muttered to himself.

"Red beans, red beans, I want to see what else you can do."

Liu Yi said to the subordinates next to him.

"Inform the front-line commander to continue the operation and not to be confused by the enemy."

"Understood."

The battlefield that received the order was filled with gunsmoke again, and Hongdou angrily smashed the megaphone into the iron plate next to her, her eyes were bloodshot at this time, and Li (xìng) and sense (xìng) were fighting back and forth in her brain, and the slightest negligence would be dominated by the other party. Reddan, to Fluttershy.

"Kill the Commander on the other side for me."

Fluttershy pulls out a long, black leather case containing an old-fashioned sniper rifle, which Fluttershy has always guarded, expertly assembles it, and finally glances into the scope and says.

"Sister Hongdou, I'm ready."

Red Bean picked up the megaphone and said to the two sides of the firefight outside.

"Listen, if you are going to fight, your commander will be the end of all of you."

With that, Fluttershy pulls the bolt and loads the bullet, discerning the direction and speed of the wind, and then calmly pulls the trigger, and the bullet spins out of the barrel with flames, and the sharp bullet passes through the head of the commander on the opposite side, and turns purple and red like a bursting salute. Seeing this, the CLA team members on the opposite side stopped attacking, and Hongdou listened to the sound of no gunfire outside, and picked up the megaphone again.

"We are flowers on a vine, why do we spoil when a weed comes in? I know that you are for Liu Yi's money, but have you ever thought that when you took Liu Yi's money, you had already sold your life to him. Is it true that working for a person who has no righteousness is what you want?

I, Hongdou, as the former leader of the CLA, promise all of you that as long as you keep the ice of the world, from now on, everyone's treatment will only be higher than now, not lower. But if you're still obsessed, then don't blame me for not remembering the old (qíng). ”

The general's helicopter was also parked at the airport, about a kilometer or so from the battlefield, and she sat in the car and listened to the demagogic speech of the red bean and said.

"It is worthy of red beans, every word is leading people to another way."

With that, the general waved his hand to the person next to him, and then a sniper rifle was handed to the general, she put the barrel on the car door, and then aimed at Liu Yi's person. The moment the trigger was pulled, the other party fell to the ground alone, bleeding on the spot. In an instant, the gunshots rang out in the sky again, and Red Bean yelled in the cabin.

"Who fired the gun?"

Fluttershy gestures to the helicopter in the distance.

"It's the general, she's been there for a long time."

"This stinky woman is (bī) we are fighting to the death."

Red Bean called one of his men and asked.

"How long can we (tǐng) stay in our current state?"

"About half an hour or so."

"Enough. Fluttershy, you help them deal with their enemies. I'm going to assassinate Liu Yi. ”

"Got it."

Azuki loaded the pistol with a muffler, then took a dagger from the equipment box and pinned it to his waist, and finally brought some smoke grenades and flashbang grenades with him (shēn). She confirmed Liu Yi's location, and then circled to the side of the battlefield, bullets whizzing past her (shēn), and the fragment grenade exploded on the sand she had just stepped on, shrapnel grazing her clothes and then piercing her skin (ròu), Hongdou was not deterred by these things, but her speed became faster and faster. Suddenly, a member of the CLA team spotted Azuki, he raised his gun to the target, and then pressed the trigger without hesitation, and the Azuki side (shēn) flashed, but a bullet still passed through her shoulder. The other party saw the red bean stumbling and falling, and wanted to chase after the victory, but who knew that his head was like a blooming peony in the next second. Redbean glances back in the direction of the transporter, only to see a blinding glow on Fluttershy's scope. Red Bean smiled faintly and continued to rush towards the target.

When Hongdou finally arrived in the desert outside the airport, she saw a black RV parked in the distance, surrounded by many tall (shēn) bodyguards, and it seemed that Liu Yi must be in the nanny car at this time. But because there was no cover around him that could be used to cover up, Hongdou had no choice but to hold the gun in his right hand and the dagger in his left hand to enter a tactical state. Red Bean ran quickly towards his target, and the bodyguards looked at the sudden assassin in surprise.

Red Bean Fei (shēn) jumped up, aimed at three targets at the same time in the air, and then quickly pulled the trigger, and after a hidden burst of gunfire, the three targets fell to the ground one after another, and Red Bean also landed steadily. At this time, a bodyguard rushed over, and Hongdou was about to shoot but was kicked to the ground by the other party. The bodyguard threw a punch right after that, and the red bean flip (shēn) dodged, and when his feet landed, he kicked off the ground like a bow and arrow. The bodyguard looked at the red bean who rushed over, and when the red bean hit his waist head-on, the bodyguard also hugged the red bean's waist at the same time, and then made a back fall in the waist and abdomen, and the red bean felt like he was flipping in mid-air, and then fell heavily to the ground. The bodyguard flips (shēn) and rides on the red bean (shēn), and just as he swings his fist, the dagger in the red bean's hand has already pierced the bodyguard's throat. Azuki picked up the gun on the ground and took out several other bodyguards in turn, and then rushed into the RV. Liu Yi was sitting in the car at this time, holding red wine, looking at the red beans that were all (shēn) at this time, and said.

"You don't dare to kill me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bullet passed through Liu Yi's skull, blood stained the leather sofa behind Liu Yi (shēn), and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground. Hongdou said lightly.

"I don't dare to let you live than I dare to kill."

Red Bean closed the car door and rushed into the airport in the RV, and after a burst of dust, the RV stopped in the middle of the battlefield. The general saw from a distance that it was Red Bean driving the car, and then said to his subordinates.

"Tell them they're ready to trade, get it."

The moment the RV entered the battlefield, both sides stopped firing. Their attention was focused on Liu Yi's car. Hongdou kicked the car door and threw Liu Yi's body out, then stood in the middle of the battlefield and yelled.

"From now on, all members of the CLA will be under my command."

Both sides silently put down their guns, but what happened later did prove how stupid Hongdou's move to kill Liu Yi was, and she paid an unexpected price for it. After the truce between the two sides, a sedan pulled up next to the red bean (shēn), and the general's face was visible in the window, and she said with a smile.

"Get in the car. It's time for us to talk about trading. ”

Before getting into the car, Redbean explains some things to her subordinates, and Fluttershy follows her into the General's car. After getting into the car, Azuki asked the general.

"Why are you shooting?"

The general took out the lollipop in his mouth and said.

"I only need one seller, and I don't want you to mess me up with my most important stuff, isn't that great?"

Red Bean sighed and looked at the CLA team members outside the window and said.

"They used to be my family, but they were blinded by money."

The general said, shaking his index finger.

"Money is a good thing, no one in this world doesn't need money, and money can buy a lot of precious things. It's not the money that blinds them, it's the loyalty they have to you. ”

"So you mean I'm wrong?"

"It's naturally the fault of that person who defects, but if most people rebel together, the word should be called rebellion, right?"

Fluttershy says when she can't take it anymore.

"Sister Red Bean is good to us."

The general smiled and said.

"In the world of mercenaries, kindness in any situation is cruelty to oneself, and to your subordinates is no exception. They are just your tools, don't be deceived by the lies of relatives (qíng) and friends (qíng) anymore. ”

When the general said this, the chill in his eyes was flowing into Hongdou's heart little by little, and she was a little skeptical that there was really something wrong with her leadership style? There is some truth in the general's words, there is indeed a big difference between the rebellion of one person and the rebellion of a large number of people. Maybe it's really my mistake, is it really because I'm too paranoid, as Mishima said? At this time, the general handed a tablet to Hongdou and said.

"This is the reward of the cold ice of the world."

Azuki nodded with satisfaction after reading the numbers on the screen, and then the general continued.

"From now on, all the expenses of the CLA will be borne by me, and of course the ownership and command of the CLA will still be yours. I have only one request, that whenever I have something to do, you must do my orders without hesitation. ”

Hongdou said with an embarrassed face.

"I..."

At this time, the general changed the sweet image of the girl next door, and although she was still wearing a floral dress, her qíng at this time could definitely scare off an adult male lion, she said.

"The CLA is just a small detachment of my many troops, and what I value is your persistence and tenacity. Of course, you also have the right to refuse, but there will be no more CLA in the world. ”

Redbean looks at Fluttershy, then gritted her teeth.

"I'll do it."

The General leans back in his seat and hands Redbean and Fluttershy a glass of wine.

"May we have a happy cooperation in the future."

At this time, at the (chūn) taste bar, Mishima is awakened from a nightmare, and he dreams that the red bean (shēn) is full of bloody bullet holes, and Mishima is relieved when he discovers that it is a dream. He put the quilt aside, lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and put it on the ashtray beside him after a few puffs, rubbing his calloused hands back and forth on his face, he said lightly.

"I don't know what happened to Fluttershy and Redbean now."

There was a frolicking sound outside the house, and Mishima opened the door and went out to see everyone setting up the bar, which was a welcome party for the rosy. Everyone also intends to use this party to hedge against the bad luck of this time. Yuehan and Wanli helped prepare drinks and snacks, Zhang Ze and Guo Jianyue were helping to set up tables and chairs, but Fang Fan was smoking one after another at the door. Mishima saw Fang Fan at the door, walked over and asked.

"Are you planning to enter the cemetery in advance?"

Fang Fan looked at the cigarette in his hand and said with a smile.

"It would be a blessing if I could die so easily."

"Gibberish. What happened to you? Got something on your mind? ”

"Nothing."

After saying that, Fang Fan took out another cigarette and lit it, and Mishima patted Fang Fan's shoulder as he was about to turn (shēn) in, Fang Fan said.

"Mishima."

Mishima replied and said.

"There's still something to do, just say it, don't be such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law."

"If, I mean if. What would you do if one day I became your enemy and you had to kill me? ”

Mishima was startled at first, then looked into Fang Fan's eyes and asked.

"What's wrong with you?"

"No... Nothing..."

"No, you must have something to hide from me."

Fang Fan smiled and pushed Mishima's back and said.

"It's all right, you go in and have a drink with them."

After Mishima left, Fang Fan leaned against the door again and smoked, he kept thinking about the way that Ruby told him. If you want to escape the Nightmare's control, you can only die, and then strip the Nightmare out of its body. Otherwise, you can only wait to become a puppet of the nightmare.

Fang Fan looked at his busy friends in the lobby of the bar, and finally his gaze fell on Yuehan (shēn). Fang Fan, who had never been afraid of death, only realized the fear of death when he saw Yuehan, or maybe it was a kind of reluctance. How can we express that profundity? Fang Fan bit the filter, then turned (shēn) as he watched the moon take a hard puff of smoke, the moon's silhouette gradually blurring in the smoke. Suddenly, a hand was on Fang Fan's shoulder, and when Fang Fan turned around, Yuehan's index finger happened to poke Fang Fan's side face. Yue Han handed the wine to Fang Fan and asked softly.

"You're not feeling well?"

Fang Fan took the wine and put his arm around Yuehan and said.

"Look how beautiful the moon is tonight."

"It's dirty."

Yuehan leaned against Fang Fan's (xiōng) chamber and listened to his powerful heartbeat, staring intently at the bright moon in the sky.
