"Brother Leng. Ye Hengyuan shouted.

Leng Han raised his head slightly, reached out and rubbed his face vigorously, turned his head, and smiled at Ye Hengyuan.

"Brother Ye is good. ”

He then lowered his head again and closed his eyes. His forehead hair hung down, covering his eyes.

Ye Hengyuan looked at Lei Xi with a questioning gaze. Lei Xi smiled and shook his head, saying that he didn't know why Leng Han was like this. Ever since Leng Han entered this room, he has been far away from her, refusing to say a word to her. But judging from his demeanor and character, it doesn't look like he's afraid, but like he's afraid of something.

A steady footstep sounded from the passage on the cold side. The noise is very slight and difficult to hear without listening carefully.

"Who?" Ye Hengyuan raised his eyebrows, turned his head, and looked to the other side.

"It's Long Lin. Lei Xi didn't move, his hands were flat on a pair of *, and he looked at the conference room below.

Strictly speaking, this meeting room is not on the ground floor, but in the basement below the first floor. The real space on the first floor is only the space that leads to the upper and lower meeting rooms. The space is huge, and although the width is about the same as the space on the first floor, the height is twice that of the first floor.

In the middle of the conference room is a large oval-shaped table. It is made of the finest mahogany, and is surrounded by twelve Taishi chairs, also made of mahogany, with the motif of the mother nucleus and the twelve sub-nuclei carved on the back. Ten chairs are placed on the east and west sides of the long side of the table, while the other two are placed on the curved and short north and south sides of the table. The Taishi chairs placed on the north and south sides are one size larger than the other chairs, and the top of the back of the chair is also inlaid with silk edges. The top of the chair on the south side is trimmed with gold wire, and the top of the chair on the north side is trimmed with silver wire.

At this time, both trimmed chairs were still empty. On the seats on both sides, there were already five spirit generals.

Hou Renze and Kang Long sat on the left and right sides of the Phnom Penh Taishi chair. Qiu Bai and Bai Suxin sat on the left and right sides of the silver-edged Taishi chair respectively. Tang Yingjie sat on, to be exact, on the chair half-lying in the middle on the left. You must know that the Taishi chair, which is only a noble and uncomfortable chair, is the most unsuitable to rely on. But he just leaned on it, still crossed Erlang's legs, held the wine jug in his hand, and drank it in a big gulp.

Ye Hengyuan could see at a glance that the two chairs with silk edges were prepared for the chief marshal and deputy marshal. The gold-rimmed chair on the south side belongs to coach Wu Hai, and the silver-rimmed chair on the north side belongs to deputy marshal Long Yao. In addition to this, the other ten chairs are also arranged in order, gradually lowering from the sides to the middle.

"'He' should have arrived, right?" Lei Xi's tone was very soft, completely different from the tone she usually spoke.

"My father has arrived. ”

Long Lin suddenly appeared behind Leng Han. He changed into a brown military uniform, neat and concise. On each of his shoulders wore the insignia of a lieutenant colonel.

Leng Han was startled, stood up from his seat all of a sudden, and took a few steps back in a row, almost touching the glass guardrail in front of him.

Lei Xi couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile.

"Good young master Long. Ye Hengyuan generously stood up from his chair and saluted Long Lin. Lei Xi also bowed gently.

"Hengyuan, Lei Xi, hello," Long Lin smiled heartily, "Here, don't call me any young master." Everyone is a disciple and all are equal. ”

Leng Han snorted coldly. He hummed so quietly that no one could hear him.

"Alright," Long Lin stretched out his hand and made a "quiet" gesture, "everyone sit down." The meeting is about to begin. ”

"Young Master Long, have all the people arrived?" Ye Hengyuan asked.

"That's right," Long Lin nodded, "It's all here." ”

Ye Hengyuan's face showed a disappointed expression, but it only lasted for a moment. Lei Xi glanced at him and didn't say anything.

"Squeak-"

A stone statue facing the conference table suddenly turned. This stone statue is a dragon, a bit similar to the dragon on the Canglong Bone Knife, a descendant of the Canglong Sect. It suddenly spun backwards and disappeared behind the wall.

Then, a door opened from where it had been. Long Yao strode out of it. He was also wearing a military uniform, which was covered with a layer of dark gold armor. On each of his shoulders, he wore an admiral's epaulettes. Three big shining stars were shining brightly. He was the only one in the entire conference room wearing armor.

The five spirit generals stood up from their chairs at the same time, turned to Long Yao's direction, and saluted. Even Tang Yingjie, who is a hanger, did not slack off.

"Lieutenant Marshal!"

Long Lin and Lei Xi also stood up at the same time and saluted Long Yao. Ye Hengyuan and Leng Han slowed down a little.

Long Yao didn't say anything, just returned the salute. Step by step, the metal boots were imprinted on the marble floor, but they did not make a sound. He walked to the front of the silver-edged Taishi chair, pulled it out, and sat down.

The five spirits sat back in their chairs at the same time. Including Tang Yingjie, everyone sat upright. Long Yao raised his head, glanced upward, and waved his hand to signal the disciples to sit down as well.

"The meeting begins. ”

All five spirits will applaud at the same time. Except for Tang Yingjie, everyone's applause was not warm. Bai Suxin looked at Qiu Bai, while Qiu Bai and Hou Renze both looked at Long Yao. As for Kanglong, it was like falling asleep.

"The theme of today's meeting," Long Yao's voice became a little thicker, "is about the intelligence of the Jianyan Kingdom, as well as the battle report on the Western Front in the area of the Cangyan Mountains. ”

Kang Long and Tang Yingjie, the old and the young, began to shine at the same time. The difference is that Tang Yingjie's eyes emit a light of excitement, while the light in Kang Long's eyes is very dim.

"General Qiu. Long Yao stretched out his hand and motioned for Qiu Bai to speak.

Qiu Bai pulled out his chair and stood up directly. There was nothing on the entire conference table, not even a pen or notebook for recording. None of the generals carried pens or notebooks.

Ye Hengyuan naturally noticed this, but he remembered Qiu Bai's words, and saw that neither Long Lin nor Lei Xi had any abnormal reactions, and he didn't plan to explain anything to himself, so he didn't ask. As for the cold, I won't ask.

"Our Northwest Army Corps has repelled the Jianyan* team," Qiu Bai said, "and at present the entire eastern part of the Cangyan Mountains is still under the control of our army." Moreover, through nearly three months of operations, the First Army Corps in the Northwest has recaptured nearly one-third of the territory in the western part of the Cangyan Mountain Range, and eliminated nearly one and a half divisions of the enemy's troops through movement warfare and counterattack operations, and also caused a certain amount of damage to the enemy's Spirit Division Legion. Now the enemy's offensive has been largely stopped. Our troops have also re-consolidated their defensive lines, effectively preventing harassment by enemy detachments. ”

Kang Long raised his hand and lifted the hair that covered half of his face. On the right side of his face, near his neck, there is a scar nearly the length of his ring finger. He laid his arms flat on the table in front of him and stared at Huber, a faint halo began to glow on the two bracelets on his wrists.

"I have reported the situation to the Military Commission," Qiu Bai continued, "and at present all the 1st Army Corps and the 2nd Army Corps in the Northwest are guarding the line of the Cangyan Mountains. The Third Army Corps has not yet received an order and has not moved. ”

"Well," Long Yao nodded, "General Qiu is right. On the whole, the current situation in the war has begun to tilt in favor of our army. As long as the Rock Army does not use sneak attack tactics, it will be difficult to break through our defenses. ”

Tang Yingjie immediately showed a disapproving expression, his body relaxed a lot, and he leaned back on the back of the chair again.

Hou Renze's expression became more and more calm. He knew that what was going on next was the point.

"But," Long Yao's tone suddenly became a little heavier, "At the beginning of the war, the Jianyan Army once sent a small group of Spirit Division troops to cross our army's defense line and infiltrate our army's rear, and—"

The entire chamber fell silent. Tang Yingjie immediately sat up straight. Bai Suxin raised his arms and clasped the ten fingers of his hands in front of his chest.

"Killed," Long Yao said categorically, "civilians and ordinary soldiers in five small towns and twelve villages!"

In the compartment above, Ye Hengyuan's eyes suddenly widened, and his hands tightly grasped the armrests on both sides of the chair. His breathing began to rapid, and his two sword eyebrows furrowed. He shook his head involuntarily, as if to force himself to forget something.

"Xiaoyuan!"

Lei Xi stretched out his hand a little anxiously, held Ye Hengyuan's arm, and gently injected spiritual power into his body. Leng Han also raised his fingers and released a faint freezing ray towards Ye Hengyuan.

Long Lin just glanced at Ye Hengyuan and didn't react.

Qiu Bai naturally also felt Ye Hengyuan's abnormality. But he couldn't react immediately, just frowned and shook his head.

Long Yao noticed the change in Qiu Bai's demeanor and slowed down his speech.

"Both the ruling government and the Military Commission have ordered that they will use the most resolute and severe means to take punitive revenge on the despicable acts of the Jianyan Kingdom!

Qiu Bai and Hou Renze glanced at each other, and then turned their gaze to Long Yao. From Long Yao's words, they seemed to hear something.

"You may not understand," Long Yao said, "let General Bai explain this." ”

Bai Suxin stood up. She glanced at Qiu Bai first, then upwards before she began to speak.

"According to the information sent back by the intelligence officers on the front line, among the spirit division troops who infiltrated the rear of our army to carry out a sneak attack, there is a small unit with a dark attribute as the main one. This spirit division force is also the main force of these sneak attack troops. ”
