Volume 1: Walking on the Brink of Destruction and Salvation Chapter 46: Change

The whole city moved under the orders of the county guard.

Guan Yuan announced Yu Dongshui's identity as the reincarnation of the Great Magician, and called on all forces in the city to encircle and suppress him.

Not only the soldiers of the army stationed in Rockshire and the guards patrolling the streets, but also many indignant civilian warriors joined in.

Among ordinary people, even people like Li Xuan who had a good impression or expectation of the reincarnation of the Great Magician did not dare to appear on the murderous streets.

Nearly half of the people were digging up the reincarnation of the archmage in the city, and the other half were hiding in their homes, watching through the windows, praying that everyone was safe.

"First go and block the city gate and arrange a few trustworthy masters to check it. Anyone who comes near the gates will be killed without my token and special password. ”

Guan Yuan was very aware of Yu Dongshui's superb methods when he was the king of magic before, and although his disguise technique was not at the peak, it was enough to deceive ordinary guards.

The order would have completely blocked his escape from the inner city of Rockshire.

"Everyone must move in a squad of more than five people and observe each other's members of the squad. We can't give the filth of the world any chance!"

The task of large-scale encirclement and suppression was thus issued, and the official returned to the county guard mansion to wait for the situation.

Now he can't show his face yet, otherwise the trust he got from Dongshui a few days ago will completely disappear.

This trust may become his life-saving talisman at a critical moment, allowing him to survive this crisis.

He came to the secret room at the beginning, where Fan Guangyu was still sitting, as if waiting for him.

Speaking of this incompetent county guard, Guan Yuan couldn't tell why he suddenly changed his face at the last moment and abandoned his usual indecision.

This feeling is like a completely different person, is this what the county guard was originally like?

With a gloomy face and sharp eyes, he brings out the image of a scheming cold-blooded ruler to the fullest.

Forget it, don't care about such changes.

Guan Yuan closed the door of the secret room.

It was a bit of an accident, but it was still planned. It's just that you have to be careful in the future.

"How's it going?"

Fan Guangyu's voice seemed to have magical power, which made Guan Yuan's heart tighten, and he looked at the ruler of the city with trepidation.

"Lord Hui, all the places have been arranged, as soon as the reincarnation of the great magician appears, he will definitely be surrounded and suppressed by tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. Even if you have the ability to reach the heavens, it is impossible to escape from this net. ”

"You're still useful. ”

The cold tone can be understood as a compliment.

"The county guard is falsely praised, the official has no virtue and no talent, and it is all because of the cultivation of the county guard that he has been able to get to this point. ”

"In other words, this arrest was started because of you, and you are fully responsible. If you haven't been able to catch the reincarnation of the Great Mage, you should know the outcome. ”

"Naturally, the official will be responsible. ”

was respectful, but Guan Yuan's heart secretly smacked Fan Guangyu.

No, although Fan Guangyu is usually a bit strategic, he is very respectful to his subordinates. Why does it seem like the type of unscrupulous means to achieve the end now?

Guan Yuan subconsciously looked up at Fan Guangyu again, but was startled back by the other party's look.

"What else do you have to do?"

The other party's voice was like a low roar, obviously a little dissatisfied with Guan Yuan.

"No······ Nothing, my lord. Guan Yuan hurriedly replied.

"Then you go down and command this operation. It's your life, be careful. ”

Although the words are exhortations, they sound more threatening.

Guan Yuan didn't dare to think about it and exited the room directly.

He gritted his teeth on the way outside and thought, "Bah, it's just a border count, we can pull you down sooner or later!"

Inside the Rockshire Monster Bureau.

Li Zijie received an urgent notice from Ding Yujian and came to the place where he usually attended the meeting.

I just wanted to say hello warmly as soon as I walked in the door, but I suppressed the idea after seeing everyone's bad expressions.

Since Director Li Xuan left Rockshire, Li Zijie was given many out-of-city reconnaissance tasks by Ding Yujian.

With his workload increasing dramatically, he hadn't seen the rest of the Bureau in a long time.

He sat down silently and asked Peng Jintao on the side: "Hey, what's going on, I feel that the situation in the bureau is a little wrong." ”

"One bite at a time, if it weren't for the critical moment, I would really hand you over as a traitor!" Peng Jintao lowered his voice and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"This morning, the county guard released the information about the reincarnation of the archmage, and called on everyone to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the reincarnation of the archmage. The situation in the city is very serious now, and the reincarnation of the great mage is still missing. This operation of the county guard has completely disrupted the plan of their monster bureau, and now I am really worried about this matter!"

"I see, no wonder the police officers in the city interrogated me once they saw me. Li Zijie suddenly realized.

"Li Zijie, please be quiet, since you are here, then the meeting can begin. ”

Ding Yujian, who was sitting in the position of Yuan Li Xuan, announced the beginning of the meeting.

"What's the matter, why is Lao Ding sitting in the position of the Li Bureau? Although he is the acting director of the bureau, he still has his own position, right?"

Li Zijie complained quietly.

"Don't worry so much, you're not from the Monster Bureau! just do the undercover mission with peace of mind!" Peng Jintao reminded on the side.

Li Zijie wanted to say something, but after being warned by Ding Yujian again, he closed his mouth in amusement.

"Now that there is a riot in the city, more than half of the army and civilians have joined the crusade against the reincarnation of the Great Mage. This apparently broke the agreement between our Monster Bureau and the other day from Iaur, to act in secret. ”

Ding Yujian opened his mouth and said, "Now that everyone is gathered here, it is to discuss whether or not to join the crusade team. ”

"Can't join! Absolutely can't join! Have you forgotten the consequences of encircling and suppressing the reincarnation of the Great Magician last month? In this unprepared situation, let alone crusade against the reincarnation of the Great Magician, even you can't protect yourself!"

One of the young participants immediately said: "Not only can you not join, but you should also stop their behavior to avoid large-scale casualties caused by the rampaging of the great magician!"

"This is an opinion, but Comrade Tang Yong still has to pay attention to the order of seniority, it is a bit inappropriate for you to express your opinions in front of the old-timers. ”

Ding Yujian nodded and asked the man named Tang Yong to sit down.

"It's okay, Director Ding. Didn't the Li Bureau say that there is no need to care about that here, just speak actively. With that, Tang Yong sat down.

Ding Yujian's expression was a little uncertain when he heard this, and he just said: "Well, Li Xuan did say that, but you remember it quite clearly." ”

Then an older person also expressed his opinion.

"This is a good time, or the first and last chance to defeat the reincarnation of the Great Mage with our own Monster Bureau's own strength. If we can succeed, I believe that not only everyone present can rise step by step, but even the Demon Hunting Association will give us three points. ”

"Oh, Lei Lao means to join the crusade team?" Ding Yujian said in a matter-of-fact accentuated tone.

"That's right, not only to join, but also to be the dominant force, so that it can be useful. The man known as Lei Lao nodded with an unquestioning attitude.

"It's completely contrary to Comrade Tang's opinion. Ding Yujian glanced meaningfully at Tang Yong, who was sitting on pins and needles, and then withdrew his gaze: "Then do you have any different ideas? Try to put them forward as much as possible, you can use them as a reference." Director Li is not here, but I can still decide something. ”

"What's wrong with this guy? Why do you feel like you want to usurp the throne?" Li Zijie did not speak, but expressed his doubts to Peng Jintao on the side.

"Oh, you don't know about this, right? Ding Yujian, this guy has been a little floating since Li Xuan left. After enjoying the feeling of gaining power, don't you start to think about usurping the throne?"

Peng Jintao whispered to Li Zijie: "The reason why you were transferred out is because you are obviously on Li Xuan's side, which will hinder him." ”

"Why didn't you say this kind of thing earlier?!" Li Zijie almost screamed.

"Why did you say it earlier? You're not from the Monster Bureau. Remember, even if you and Li Xuan are good friends, you can't forget the tasks of the organization. It's good for you and everyone else. ”

Li Zijie wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Ding Yujian: "Hey, Comrade Li Zijie, don't you have anything to say?"

At this time, the titular director was looking at him with a hint of hostility.

The old-timers sitting around Ding Yujian have all finished speaking, and without exception, they have joined the team of crusading against the reincarnation of the Great Magician.

And some young people, including Tang Yong, especially those who usually admired Li Xuan, were all warned by them with their eyes and were speechless.

Obviously, this was not a meeting to discuss whether or not to participate in the crusade, but a conspiracy to overthrow Li Xuan's original policy.

Peng Jintao also glanced at him frantically on the side, signaling him not to get involved in this mess.

But—

"I? Well, in my opinion as the chief scout of the Monster Bureau, I should avoid such a direct confrontation for the time being. Because I believe that all the people present together are not the opponents of the reincarnation of the Great Magician. ”

The corners of Li Zijie's mouth raised an arc: "Or do you have the consciousness of death before deciding to participate in this so-called crusade?"

"What do you mean by that!" a middle-aged senior scolded Ding Yujian from next to him.

"You know what I mean, right? None of you here seem to me to be able to meet the reincarnation of the Great Mage. Do you think you can beat Gong Changhong of the Demon Hunting Association?"

The man who stood up was unable to refute for a moment, and opened his mouth to speak. But the eyes were still staring at him.

"Am I not right? ······ you?"

"That's pretty much enough, Zijie Lee. Ding Yujian said in a deep voice: "I understand what you mean, that is, our Monster Bureau is not worthy of being the opponent of the reincarnation of the Great Magician at all, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the people who originally wanted to applaud Li Zijie sweated.

In this way, it is no longer as simple as looking at each other unpleasantly.

"You kid give me a little leisure, my words are in your ears?" Peng Jintao almost couldn't help but drag Li Zijie down directly.

"Huh... I can't help it if you have to think so. Li Zijie shrugged his shoulders and sat down: "Director Li is coming back soon, you can also watch it." ”

"Of course I do. Ding Yujian heard the threat.

Indeed, the news that Li Xuan had left for Rokeshire in Iaur had already arrived at the Monster Bureau, and it seemed that he had brought back a lot of people.

That's why Ding Yujian held such a meeting to consolidate the power that he had cultivated with great difficulty in the Monster Bureau.

"It was a mistake to call you back, well, your opinion is also for reference. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. As soon as Li Zijie replied, Peng Jintao pounced on him and covered his mouth.

"It's okay, Ding Bureau, you continue, this kid is a cheap mouth!"

Ding Yujian ignored them, snorted coldly and continued to start the meeting.

In the end, it was decided to send only one team to provide some support to the raiding party and inform the Archmage of the reincarnation of the current situation.

Li Zijie also expressed his agreement with this (under Peng Jintao's coercion and temptation).

But what made him unhappy was that Ding Yujian actually arranged him as the leader of this group on the grounds that "the chief scout should take this responsibility", and set off immediately.

"Li Xuan, you'd better come back quickly! I'm going to be by these old guys!"

Li Zijie said.
