The temple was destroyed and the god died.

The people of arrondissement 13 ushered in a new day. And when they still walked to the temple with reverence, they found that the gods of faith were gone, replaced by a group of humans like them.

They kept explaining to the crowd in a gentle manner, repeating the propaganda of overthrowing the rule of the gods.

Countless people were at a loss, and countless people were terrified. Almost in a matter of hours, the entire city was plunged into unprecedented chaos. Traffic was paralyzed, and countless people took to the streets, but they were overwhelmed.

The freedmen were well versed in dealing with this situation, and countless uniformed processions were shuttling through the streets and alleys, trying to maintain stability.

Similarly, the bigwigs in Area C who have just received the news have also started a busy day.

Those who volunteered to be purified by the temple went mad at the security forces stationed at the temple, and the warriors with resolute faces, despite the beatings and scoldings, patiently explained to the mad people in the midst of countless stones and eggs.

The crowd beat them, shoved them, insulted them, and cursed them for not dying well.

No one knew what it meant for the separation zone between the districts to be removed, and no one thought about why the gods were able to be killed, they were just venting their emotions.

In the temple, Adjutant Cheng, who had been following Huang Youqing, watched this scene, looking at the soldiers in the team, bearing all kinds of saliva and fists and kicks in front of the crowd who didn't know the truth, frowning. "We have sacrificed so many people and spent so much effort, is it just for a group of such people?"

Huang Youqing was processing the documents sent from all over the world early in the morning, and when he heard this, he looked up at the adjutant who had been with him for more than ten years. Unconsciously, he has changed from a hot-blooded young man to a middle-aged man like today.

Huang Youqing still remembers the arrogance on the face of this man who wants to become a core warrior and fight on the battlefield when the two met for the first time.

Adjutant Cheng didn't expect to get a response from the commander in this matter, and muttered to himself: "Sometimes when I see this scene, I feel that instead of sacrificing the lives of our countless soldiers to save them, it is better to let them die, maybe only when they really face death, they can wake up." ”

Huang Youqing thought of the soldiers who died last night, and thought of the youthful and energetic faces that had been in front of him before, and suddenly became a little upset, walked to Adjutant Cheng's side, and also looked out the window at the crowd that had been reluctant to leave for a long time.

He told Li Xiang that doing this is not because of what he can gain by doing this, but simply because he knows that his insistence is right.

And what about those who died for it? Do they also feel that this is the right thing to do?

At the headquarters of Shenguang Group, Li Anguo, who had not slept all night, dragged his tired body and finished today's morning meeting.

Despite the denials of countless executives, all the decisions were smoothly conveyed at the insistence of Li Anguo.

After the merger, the two largest groups in the 13 districts will contribute all their efforts to maintain the stability of the 13 districts. In addition to opening up a large number of jobless vagrants, opening grain warehouses, setting up medical stations, and setting up temporary security teams to help maintain order, it has also increased the salary level of the employed and reduced the working hours and intensity.

A series of measures have achieved excellent results in less than a week.

Similarly, the efforts of the two groups have won the goodwill and support of countless people throughout the new 13 districts. And the business groups that still clinged to their old tactics and tried to stay the same are slowly being abandoned.

It can be said that from the first day of the freedmen's arrival, the two groups adopted the best strategy.

And when the 13th arrondissement was basically stabilized, and at the suggestion of countless people, the new leader of the city was elected by democratic voting, and countless big people who were expected to fight found that they had lost the opportunity.

When they also began to announce that they would treat workers well and open up a large number of high-paying jobs, it had little effect.

The status of Li'anguo rose, and in the end, the Lin family, the Wang family, and even the Mu family all expressed their attitude, and when they supported Li'anbang, everyone knew that the overall situation had been decided.

After a busy day, Li Anguo returned to the Li family villa and ushered in an unexpected guest.

After dismissing all the guests, Qian Ruoan personally cooked, Li Anbang took out a bottle of liquor from the cabinet with the labels on the outside that had fallen off, and said with a smile while unscrewing it: "I know you don't like red wine, this thing also came from my father two years ago, anyway, I can't get used to drinking this kind of height, so I just gave you a try today." ”

The middle-aged man on the opposite side was not polite, smelled the aroma of the wine, and sighed: "The last time I drank wine of this quality was more than ten years ago. ”

"You, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Branch, are as miserable as a beggar." Li Anguo smiled and pushed the wine bottle directly in front of the man, signaling him to be casual.

Soon, Qian Ruoan walked in with two plates of side dishes, put them closer to the middle-aged man, and turned around and went back to the room by himself.

"Daughter-in-law is good." The man looked at Qian Ruoan's back and sighed, "When I first saw you back then, you were only so tall. ”

The man's palms compared, and he smiled: "I didn't expect to have a family in a blink of an eye." ”

"You're not just here to catch up with me, are you?" Li Anguo said with a smile.

The man poured himself a glass of wine, first took a sip, felt the hot touch, and said, "Last time, why did you send a false message to the branch?" Do you know how many people will die if we follow that arrangement? "It's like he's asking an inconsequential question.

"I guess I made a mistake in my own judgment." Li Anguo said with a smile.

Of course, the man knew that he was not telling the truth, but said, "According to this situation, soon the entire 13th District will be under your management." According to the previous agreement, you also did very well, I can't say anything, but I don't know why, I always feel unhappy. ”

The man took a deep breath, simply took a sip of the white wine in the cup, and his face was slightly red: "I don't know what you want, but I hope you at least don't live up to the organization's cultivation over the years." ”

"Of course I won't forget." Li Anguo hesitated. This is the only man in the entire Southern Branch who knows his identity, and he is also the man he admires the most in his life.

It's just that Li Anguo knows very well that he can't be this kind of person.

Just like the peer named Li Xiang, they are worthy of respect, but they are not worthy of emulation, they are too tired to live!

"Do you know why I want to be a pawn?" Li'an National Highway.

The man smiled and waited for his next step.

"The two closest people in my life, one was captured and purified in the main temple when I was thirteen years old, and the other, like me, always thought about killing the main god and avenging my mother; But he took a very direct path, bent on becoming a congenital master and taking revenge in person; But I know that with our talents, no matter how hard we try, we will never be able to compete with a main god alone. But here......" Li Anguo nodded his head and smiled confidently, "I know that if you want to kill someone, you don't have to do it yourself, I told him that wisdom and strategy are more promising than personal heroes, but he has never believed in it. Today, I proved that I was right. ”

The man stared coldly at the young man in front of him, and said for a long time: "Li'anbang is not necessarily wrong. If this time, there is not so much bravery in your mouth, what did you rely on to kill the main god? ”

Li Anguo knew that there was no need to refute this kind of thing, and it was impossible to explore the reason.

"Everyone's concept is different, and I have nothing to say."

The man suddenly stood up and patted his buttocks: "Let's go, I'm just coming to see you, nothing else." ”

Li Anguo also stood up, sent him to the door, looked at the figure who took up his hat and left in the night, and said: "You also have to protect yourself, if even you die, I really don't even have a friend." ”

The man waved his hand and disappeared into the night.

The square in front of the temple has begun to be renovated, and the two statues have been removed, which served as the temporary headquarters of the Southern Branch, and naturally served as a resting place for the warriors.

This time, at Huang Youqing's insistence, all the core fighters who participated in this battle took a half-month vacation. Compared to others, Li Xiang is the least injured. The entire Southern Branch knew that it was this new member who stabbed the main god to death with a single sword and destroyed the Purification Array.

But Huang Youqing seems to have deliberately treated this matter coldly, and he didn't even have the most basic commendation after that.

Until today, Li Xiang, who had already recovered from his injuries, finally met the commander in his temporary office.

No matter when I see him, Huang Youqing is always amiable, and he doesn't have the frame that a commander should have.

But it is very strange that there is hardly a single person in the entire Southern Division who does not regard this person who is not very good in military force, and who is not even considered to be the top in military talent, as his mentor and friend.

In the words of the members of Group B, our commander is more of a normal person than the commanders of other divisions.

He will not hide his emotions in front of his subordinates, he can cry, laugh, be serious, and make a fuss, just like an ordinary elder.

It is such a person who has supported the Southern Branch for more than ten years, but he has never left a single meritorious service on himself.

"How? Are you still used to coming back here? Huang Youqing asked with a smile and took the initiative to pour a glass of water for Li Xiang.

Li Xiang wanted to say that he wouldn't drink it every time anyway, so don't be so polite all the time, but looking at his skillful movements, he still took it. "Okay."

There are only two faint words.

Huang Youqing smiled: "How come you are so young that you live like me, like an old man?" ”

"Thank you." Huang Youqing suddenly changed his words.

There was a smile on the corner of Li Xiang's mouth. "It should."

"Not because you killed the Lord God, but because you saved the lives of several of our warriors that night. I have reported your merits, how to reward you is a matter of the organization, and you saved other fighters, as their commander, I should thank you no matter what. Huang Youqing suddenly stood up and bowed cautiously to Li Xiang.

He knew that if this young man was missing that night, it was estimated that all the innate powerhouses would die in this city that night.

Victory was a joy of all kinds, but he would have preferred to see one less person die because of it.

Li Xiang was not polite, nor did he dodge.

"You know what?" Huang Youqing leaned on the simple desk, turned his head to look at the cityscape outside, and said, "You know what? In fact, it is not difficult to capture a city, but after it is captured, how to liberate it is the biggest difficulty. ”

"The bigger the city, the more complex the interests in it, and many times, the results we have made at a huge cost are not agreed by everyone. In the past ten years, the Southern Branch has captured dozens of cities, large and small, and the core warriors who died at the hands of the gods actually add up to dozens of them. What really cost us a lot was the kind of people who gave you knives in the back after taking the city. Huang Youqing sighed and continued: "No matter how noble your original intentions are, when you do something that touches the interests of others, you are their enemy. In the past ten years, probably because of the fear of parting, I have always been more cautious, so I have not made much progress. Every time I conquer a city, I try to balance the interests of all parties as much as possible. Nevertheless, the core warriors who died after the victory were at least twenty times more honorably killed in battle than in battle. ”

Huang Youqing turned around, looked at Li Xiang again, and said, "I know all your previous deeds in District 13, presumably countless people now think that you are dead." The reason why I ordered everyone to keep this secret was also because I wanted to do my part so that you would not be exposed to greater danger after the war. ”

Li Xiang nodded in understanding.

Li Xiang has never taken awards seriously.

It's just that he doesn't know what Huang Youqing called him over today and said this.

Is it just a matter of talking to someone?

Huang Youqing's sudden words made Li Xiang's face extremely pale.

"Li Xiang, promise me one thing. If one day I die somehow in this city, as long as it's okay and everything goes well, don't pursue it. ”

Listening to Huang Youqing's words, Li Xiang's eyes widened suddenly, staring at him deadly.

Leaving the office and returning to the makeshift dormitory, Li Xiang's mind kept echoing what Huang Youqing said today.

Is someone going to kill him? Even if someone wants to kill him, with his current status and so many masters around him, who can do it?

The 13th arrondissement is changing with each passing day.

Thanks to the joint efforts of countless people, law and order began to recover, and it seemed that it was about to return to normal.

The core fighters who ushered in the joy of victory also began to resume training and prepare for the next battle.

It is reported that in order to commend this victory of the Southern Division and consolidate the fruits of victory, the Asian Headquarters will reinforce a core team for the Southern Branch.

In fact, many people know in their hearts that this young team, who claims to be coming here to serve the Southern Branch for a year, is just sending gilding in another way.

The day after receiving the news, the entire training camp of Group B was fried.

Especially B1 was noisy in front of Huang Youqing. It is said that Long Qi said cruel words in front of Huang Youqing. "If those stupid people dare to come, Lao Tzu will let them come in vertically and leave here horizontally."

Huang Youqing didn't say anything, just said a few words about Longqi, and asked him to take care of the team's emotions, which was an order from the Asian headquarters.

"God knows what they're trying to do? Have you taken our branch seriously in Asia for so many years? When did we run out of manpower and respond when we called for reinforcements? Even the basic supplies were begged by Grandpa and Grandma. You look at your own office, what else is there besides a rotten desk, a few rotten chairs, a broken kettle? Do you know what kind of treatment we were treated when we went to the headquarters for training? It's not even as good as an ordinary officer's toilet over there. Why should our Southern Division be inferior? I'm going to leave it here today, and if they dare to come, I'll beat them to death. ”

Today's B1 group, there are only three people left who can maintain the original combat effectiveness.

The comrade-in-arms who did not know what happened has not been found, and everyone has given up.

The soldier who passed out was treated at the Lin family, and he has not woken up yet, and he does not know when he will be able to return to the team. According to Mr. Lin, there may not be much chance.

Dragon Banner certainly has reason to be angry.

The city they fought so hard to fight down is still the same as the merits reported by them, and the people who grabbed the credit are already on the way.

Maybe when the time comes, all the core soldiers of the Southern Branch will be awarded a first-class medal and this kind of big pot rice.

At that time, people who came to gild could naturally get this badge as well. What about the dead comrades? What about the young man who was still unconscious in bed?

Isn't that ridiculous, you say? "What kind of commander there is, what kind of team there is."

When Long Qi shouted these words, Huang Youqing's face changed, and his pale lips trembled a few times, but he still didn't speak.

Long Qi, who didn't get an exact reply from Huang Youqing, came back angrily and almost demolished the entire camp.

There is no way to take him, Long Qi's temperament is like this. "Okay, what's the use of you and Commander Spoo? He is more difficult than all of us, but as a soldier, obedience always comes first. Could it be that you want to make the head district quarrel with the group of people at the headquarters? ”

"Why should we accept their arrangements for what we exchanged our lives for?" The dragon banner directly blasted a hole in the wall.

Silidge hurriedly gave Odis a look.

Otis rushed out quickly and quickly found Li Xiang.

After that battle, Long Qi was not grateful to this young man, at least everyone could see that he was grateful, and the strength that Li Xiang showed that night was also worthy of everyone's respect.

When Li Xiang came in, he still saw Long Qi smashing things angrily.

Li Xiang winked and motioned for them to leave first.

Silideg anointed the soles of his feet and ran away with Otis .

"You're here to persuade me too?" Long Qi tilted his head and stared at Li Xiang, his tone was not good.

Li Xiang propped up the overturned chair, removed the dust on it, sat down and said, "No, I'm here to see you smashing things." ”

Long Qi's brows furrowed. "I'm not targeting the boss, I really can't see what those people at headquarters are doing."

"And then?" Li Xiang leaned back in his chair and asked lightly.

"I don't think it's going to make those stupid critics have a good time." Long Qi said coldly.

"And then?" Li Xiang continued to ask.

Long Qi was stunned, and an anger flashed in his eyes: "You are fooling me? ”

Li Xiang stood up, pressed one hand on his shoulder, pressed him on the chair, and said, "Whether you want to beat them or scold the people at the headquarters, there's nothing wrong with it, just let it go." But have you ever wondered what is the use of losing your temper here, yelling at the commander, or even saying something hurtful? If I'm not mistaken, the Commander is more uncomfortable than you are, and wants to change this more than you; But he sits in this position, first of all, a leader, is it possible that you want him to take you to rebel, or to take you to the headquarters to theorize? ”

Watching Long Qi slowly calm down, Li Xiang took a deep breath and said, "I know your feelings, but whoever is at fault, we will target whomever it is, and don't hurt the innocent people around you." ”

"Find a chance to apologize to the commander." Li Xiang sighed and said, "You are all grown up by him, and in his eyes, you are closer than his children; Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a father to be scolded in front of your own children? ”

Long Qi's eyes dimmed.

Although he has an impulsive personality, he is not unreasonable.

Huang Youqing has been under pressure for so many years, and they know better than anyone else.

"No, no." Long Qi shook off Li Xiang's hand and said angrily.

Li Xiang smiled and didn't say anything more. Thinking in my heart, Huang Youqing is indeed not easy, there are so many things inside and out, and now the problems in District 13 have not been resolved, and there will be contradictions within him first.

Li Xiang was about to leave, but Huang Youqing suddenly poked his head out of the door, looked at the situation in the dormitory, and immediately frowned.

"Hello Commander." Li Xiang hurriedly saluted.

Long Qi sat in his chair, turned his head to look at him, and then turned his head again, obviously still angry.

Huang Youqing smiled and walked over, like an ordinary elder. "I know what you think. Maybe many people also feel aggrieved. To be honest, it's not that I don't know how to fight, but for me, I don't think there's anything wrong with headquarters. ”

Huang Youqing also pulled a chair and said earnestly: "Perhaps, you all value honor and fairness, but in my opinion, the most important thing is the strength of our southern branch, and every time the branch adds a congenital powerhouse, it is one more hope for me." He represents a chance to conquer another city and free more people from the slavery of the gods. ”

"What was our original intention for joining the Freedmen? It will never be for the sake of so-called glory or anything else, just that we want to do something that feels right for us, even if it is at the cost of our own lives. I know you're angry, but anyone who joins our Southern Division is our best brother, and that's the one who will be on the battlefield in the future, and we're going to give our backs to each other. ”

Huang Youqing quickly left.

Li Xiang always felt that this lonely man had become a little depressed these days.
