Facing Lao Xiaotou, several top veterans lowered their heads in shame for the first time.

Old Xiao turned around and slowly landed on the ground from a high place, he looked around, and finally focused his eyes on the Hong brothers and Boss Yan and said, "Hand over the military talisman."

A simple sentence, but it contains very complex emotions. These people have been brothers who were born and died with them, or rather, they are already relatives and a family. But at this time, it seems that everyone's hearts are far away.

After more than a dozen people looked at each other, they seemed to have finally paid attention, and their eyes were resolute one by one, and they took out the military talisman and handed it to Lao Xiao's palm.

When they handed over the military talisman, Lao Xiao carefully observed the expressions of each of them, and there was no sadness, no souvenirs, but a very relaxed look.

Old Xiao Tou lowered his head slightly, stared at the heavy military talismans in his hand, and pondered for a long time before saying: "How much power there is, how much interest there is, this is my negligence."

In a word, it immediately made several leaders look abrupt...

It's all too much of a temptation of power ....

They don't want to be a simple and pure person....

However! Interests and power are almost like an invisible giant net that binds them up and can never be extricated.

They don't regret having power, but they regret why they didn't.

The expressions of these people who were either remorseful or meditative fell into Lao Xiaotou's eyes at this moment, but they sighed.

This kind of look is very familiar to him, because in his previous life, he would see some people with this kind of eyes almost every moment.

As a manager specializing in saving endangered businesses, he should have thought of all this, but it was because he had been away from the family for a long time that these things finally became the current situation.

All right! So be it.

I'm going to save the entire Quartet as a business on the verge of collapse. And you are the unconscious people in those corporations who are bound by power and profit.

Lao Xiaotou's gaze has always wandered around these people, and many people didn't dare to touch his eyes from the beginning, until they seemed to have made some kind of choice in their hearts and dared to raise their heads and look at Lao Xiaotou. It's just that their eyes are full of a kind of determination, a kind of determination that is willing to die.

"Stay here for the time being, and when everything is back to normal, you will be resettled" Old Xiao Tou finally stopped to examine them and announced his fate.

When several leaders heard this, they were stunned. They had thought that the patriarch would be furious, and they even thought about being beheaded for public display.

But right now, the patriarch's tone seemed to be blaming himself, which made them very honestly afraid.

I don't know who spoke first, but several of the generals knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "My subordinates have betrayed the trust of the clan master, and I ask the clan lord to punish the crime."

After that, the Hong brothers, as well as Boss Yan, and Gongye Toe also knelt on the ground together.

Old Xiao Tou turned his head slightly, glanced at them one by one, and said: "Your guilt will naturally be punished, but not now, you immediately hand over power to the newly appointed generals of the crisis team, and then transfer all the armies back to the station, and you can't trespass a step, otherwise the military regulations will be dealt with."

When several people heard this, they blinked their eyes even more puzzled, only Boss Yan nodded slightly and said: "The clan master is wise, there is indeed nothing more urgent than resolving the grievances in the hearts of these soldiers, the generals quickly receive the order, each handle the handover of affairs in their own army, and share the worries of the clan master."

Only then did several generals come to their senses and get up one after another, and then Lao Xiao Tou sent more than a dozen generals of the crisis team to leave with them.

Naturally, as the core figures of the armies of both sides, the Hong brothers and Boss Yan were left behind by Lao Xiaotou. They followed in the footsteps of Old Xiao Tou and returned to the military tent.

At this time, there was a table of wine and food in the military tent.

Old Xiao beckoned them to sit down, then poured them a glass of wine and said, "I want to hear the contradictions between you, what kind of conflicts of interest will make you meet each other like this."

The Hong brothers first picked up the wine glass, staring at Lao Xiao with guilt on their faces for a long time, before Boss Hong spoke first: "Clan Master Qiyu, we know that we are wrong, we are not the kind of greedy people, but we are forced by the situation and have to do it."

When Old Xiao Tou heard this, he was also slightly stunned, turned his head to stare at him and asked, "What's so serious?" ”。

Boss Hong tilted his head hard, dried up a glass of wine, and then knelt down in front of Lao Xiaotou with a puff and stated: "Originally, our brothers only wanted to concentrate on some planting in the fairy island and fairy garden of the Sifang clan, and the domestication and internal affairs were very satisfied, and they had no intention of interfering in military affairs at all, but people were always unable to do things according to their own wishes. There is also the supply of battlefield materials, which has already involved the vital interests of every army, especially the pensions and salaries of those soldiers and soldiers, which are even more extensive."

"That's right, from the construction of the barracks to the configuration of everyone's armor and weapons, these are all related to the vital interests of the soldiers, and none of them can be sloppy," Hong Laosi added from the side at this time.

"I've guessed this, but this will only increase your duties, so how can it cause internal change?" Old Xiao Tou still didn't understand, the Hong brothers really wanted to express what they meant.

"Of course, this is our brother's duty, and it is precisely because of this, we are doing our best to meet the needs of all the sergeants and generals, but we have no choice but to expand our military strength day by day, and it is not coordinated with the fairy garden and domestication supplies in the rear, and we can only equip those troops who need it the most in the first and preferred way," Boss Hong continued to explain.

"That's right, the expansion of the Quartet Clan's army is indeed very fast, and in just a few years, the military strength has increased by hundreds of thousands," even Boss Yan, who had been silent all this time, added.

Old Xiao nodded slightly and said, "It's a good idea to do this, what's wrong with supplying on demand?" ”。

"Of course, there was nothing wrong with it at first, but after a long time, many soldiers felt that this method was unfair, and some of them began to protest, and spread rumors that the Hong brothers had a secret operation within the family, distributing military supplies to their own people, and once this rumor spread, more soldiers began to be angry, and even finally began to attack the material battalion, and then happened three times in a row," Yan continued to add.

When Lao Xiao heard this, his eyes swept Gongye's toes like cold electricity, and he hurriedly lowered his head slightly. In fact, when Lao Xiao first returned to the clan, Situ Di had already told him, and he also did some investigation, and the soldiers who spread the rumors at that time were Gongyetoe's subordinates.

"In order to protect the barracks, we had no choice but to withdraw the supply officers in those military districts, and it was because of this that we interrupted their material rations," Hong Laosan also took a step forward and knelt down to explain.

"And what about after that? You really don't give them any supplies? Old Xiao Tou stared at the Hong brothers coldly.

"Although the material officers of those military regions have been withdrawn, the materials are still transported, but they cannot be compared with the previous ones in terms of frequency and quantity," Boss Yan hurriedly interjected and explained.

"We can't help it, every time we deliver supplies to them, we need to risk our lives, let's ask which material officer is willing to deliver supplies to them" Hong Lao Er glanced back at Gongye with a bitter cheek.

"Why do most of these things happen under General Gongye?" Old Xiao Tou turned around abruptly at this time, staring at Gongye Toe with burning eyes.

"The head of the Qiyu clan, it was the failure of his subordinates to govern the army, which led to the chaos of the soldiers under his control, and they were willing to be punished" Gongye Toe Dao is a very single, and directly bears the fault of his subordinates, which also makes Lao Xiao Tou unable to pursue this matter anymore.

Old Xiao Tou glanced at the Hong brothers and said, "Even so, shouldn't it be the reason for you to set up your own name?" ”。

When Boss Hong heard this, his cheeks twitched sharply a few times and said: "The clan master, our brother, is indeed guilty, and the clan master is punished, as for the self-reliance, we are completely forced by the situation, and we really have no idea of self-reliance."

When he said this, the Hong brothers knelt down together.

Old Xiao Tou was silent for a while before he said in a deep voice: "Tell me what kind of situation you are subjected to?" ”。

At this time, Boss Hong turned to stare at Gongyezhi with a somewhat angry face and said, "Let's ask General Gongyezhi about this matter, he knows best."

Hearing this, Old Xiao Tou turned his gaze back to Gongye Toe again.

"That's right, this matter is indeed related to Gongye, but the cause is indeed that their material officer killed the families of several of our generals first, and finally led to the abduction of the Hongdao Lord family" Gongye also knelt down in front of Lao Xiao Tou and explained in a low voice.

"Why do you dare to arrest Brother Hong's family?" Old Xiao Tou's angry eyes stared at Gongye Toe, if it weren't for the fact that there was still a Yan boss at this time, he would have been eager to slash him to death with one palm.

"Not only that, they also controlled the families of many generals in the army during that change of guard," Hong Laosan also glared at him menacingly.

"Changing guards? But the last time I returned to the clan? Old Xiao Tou frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered a possibility. Then he turned to Boss Yan and asked.

"That's right, it was that change of guard, at that time, the subordinates were afraid that it would affect the overall situation of the entire Sifang Clan, so they suppressed that matter, and also strictly ordered Gongye Toe to release their family members and punish them, and then the Lord of Hong Island also agreed to the suggestions of his subordinates and promised to calm things down" Boss Yan hurriedly stepped forward and explained.

"You? You, such a big thing happened to the Quartet, and you dare to hide it? Old Xiao was so angry that his mouth was crooked, but the matter had come to this, and he was powerless to reverse time and space. He calmed down for a while before turning to Gongye and said angrily: "Why have things become so complicated since you appeared, don't you have anything to explain about this?" ”。

Old Xiao Tou had almost decided in his heart at this time that Gongye Toe was a moth in the army, and if he hadn't provoked it, I am afraid that things would never have developed to the current situation.

When Gongye heard this, he laughed miserably and said: "Since the clan lord does not believe in his subordinates, then no matter how much the subordinates explain, it is in vain, it is better for the clan lord to order his subordinates to be executed, and the subordinates will never complain." After speaking, Gong Ye toe pulled out the short sword and handed it to Lao Xiaotou.

"Clan master, this matter really has nothing to do with General Gongye, if the clan master doesn't believe it, his subordinates have evidence here" Boss Yan took a step forward, grabbed Lao Xiaotou's wrist, and took out a secret booklet from his arms. These are all the spies he planted in the major military districts to report back.

It also records in detail those conflicts, as well as Gongye's every move. According to the booklet, although Gongye Toe is a bit obscene, he is still a qualified general, and has a strong ability to govern the army and fight, so that the Southern Route Army led by him is already on par with Di Shuai's Northern Route Army. This kind of ability to govern the army and command the army is indeed very prominent, and after seeing this secret report, Lao Xiao Tou also had to change his opinion of Gongye Toe a little.

As for the authenticity of this secret report, Lao Xiao Tou does not need to doubt it, because those secret agents were all trained by him back then. It exists as a kind of underlying information gatherer. Although Boss Yan is qualified to accept secret reports, he has no way of knowing their true identities, let alone using them.

And these secret reports have their own unique cipher graphics, which are from the 21st century. Boss Yan, they definitely can't imitate it.

After reading all these secret reports, Lao Xiao Tou probably had a context for the whole incident in his heart. That is, after the expansion of the country's military strength and geography, many systems and details cannot match the increasingly large country, so that there are such or such interest disputes in many links, which are just small things at first, but over time, such small things begin to gradually condense into grievances, leading to the escalation of conflicts, and eventually become a competition for their respective strength and power. In this way, an internal change that affects the entire Quartet clan is also about to emerge.

After learning all this, Lao Xiao Tou did not punish any of the parties involved, but only temporarily deprived them of their military rights and positions, which were temporarily accepted by the crisis team.

Now he wants to resolve the corporate crisis in his previous life, completely reverse the various disputes of the Quartet, and formulate a set of practical solutions.

"Third Brother Yan, how is it outside?" The Djinn jumped over with a small bell on his back, his arms slightly arched, like a green-haired gorilla.

"Big Brother Giant Spirit, it's still very dangerous outside, I don't know why the Void has set off such a big wave, so that this entire gradient has been affected, and we are about to fall into the Void" Yan San climbed up from the gradient spiral, panting and shouting at the Giant Spirit Clan.

"Third Brother Yan, jump on me, I want to use my innate power to lead you out" The giant spirit clan turned over, like a huge tent covering a large light curtain, and when he landed, he had already fallen on another gradient.

Yan San also knew that the speed of the Giant Spirit Clan was unmatched in the world, and now he could only hope for the Giant Spirit Clan, maybe they still had a glimmer of life.
