Zuo Qing carried a straight knife at his waist, just stood quietly in front of the door of the low house, and after being silent for a long time, he still reached out and knocked on the door.

Tuk tuk!

A moment later, an old figure with silver hair opened the door.

"Huh?" When the old man saw Zuo Qing, he seemed to be a little surprised, "Little Zuo...... Oh no, Commander Zuo, didn't you say you were going to have an online meeting? We've been waiting for you in the video for a long time, why did you suddenly come to me? ”

Zuo Qing didn't speak, just looked down at the old man silently.

In the barren and empty countryside, only the sound of roosters echoed in the distance.

The old man and Zuo Qing looked at each other for a moment, smiled helplessly, turned around and walked into the room, and said leisurely, "Come in and sit." ”

Zuo Qing put his right hand on the handle of the straight knife, followed the old man, and walked into the low room.

The interior of the house is better furnished than it looks from the outside, the simple and practical furniture is neatly placed throughout, the gray concrete floor is poured into the dust, and the only modern electronic equipment in the house is a digital TV and a special computer with a secret key as far as the eye can see.

That computer was for the Night's Watch interior, or was it a version from more than a decade ago.

Zuo Qing sat down on the bench next to the square table, and the old man walked into the kitchen unhurriedly, made a cup of tea with a bright red kettle, and then sat down opposite Zuo Qing and handed the teacup in his hand to Zuo Qing.

"I don't have any good tea here, you know, just drink it." The old man looked at the silent Zuo Qing, and added with a smile, "Of course, if you don't want to drink, you can not drink it." ”

Zuo Qing glanced at the steaming glass, did not choose to touch it, but slowly spoke:

"Old Chen, what have you been busy with lately?"

Chen Lao took a sip of the teacup and said with a smile, "What am I busy with, don't you already have the answer in your heart?" Otherwise, video conferencing will not be used to monitor all high-level ......

I'm the only one you really want to monitor, right?

You're worried that I'll run away before you even come? ”

"Do you admit it?"

"There's nothing hard to admit, when I started planning all this, I expected it to be today." Chen Lao paused, "It's just that in my expectation, it should be Ye Fan'...... sitting in front of me now."

"Disappointed you?"

"No, on the contrary, I'm happy." Chen Lao said with a smile, "I think you are better than Ye Fan."

Although Ye Fan is deep in mind and very smart, his heart is too soft...... He was clearly aware of the problem of corruption and stiffness at the top of the Night's Watch, but due to the merits and face of those old-timers, he did not take action for a long time, resulting in him not having absolute control over the top of the Night's Watch.

But you're different.

As soon as you took office, with the help of Zhou Ping's deterrence and your own means, you successively banned all those old-fashioned and rotten older generation of high-level executives, and replaced them with newcomers who were pulled out by yourself, and even I, the teacher, were transferred to the second-line management by you and lost the right to speak in the high-level meetings.

You are ruthless enough, courageous enough, and your scheming and foresight are not inferior to Ye Fan, although both of you are soldiers I brought out back then, but I used to think that you are more suitable than Ye Fan to lead the night watch. ”

"It's all taught by the teachers." Zuo Qing replied lukewarmly.

Chen Lao smiled and held the teacup, as if he had thought of something, and asked, "By the way, where is Moyu?" Dead? ”

"Dead, dead by hitting my knife."

Old Chen sighed with some pity, "Although my grandson is not as smart as you and Ye Fan, his qualifications are still quite good, if he cultivates it well, he can actually be a good successor......

"But you still pushed him into the abyss with your own hands." Zuo Qing's eyes became cold, "I took Chen Moyu with me at that time, not just because he was your grandson, but because I did see the shining place on his body, and I also had high hopes for him......

But why did you have to destroy him with your own hands?

I understand these bureaus you have laid out, but you ...... I still don't get it.

You used to be a night watchman with great achievements, you won two personal 'Star Sea' medals, six personal 'Xingchen' medals, in that era, you were the hero in everyone's hearts, me, Ye Fan, Shao Pingge...... It's all brought out by you.

If it weren't for the demonic Wang Qing back then, you would be the fourth commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch.

I don't understand, why do you do such a thing? Do you want to see Great Xia destroyed with your own eyes? Is that what you want?! ”

The more Zuo Qing spoke, the more angry he became, his eyes staring at the calm old man in front of him, and his voice trembled a little.

Chen Lao calmly took a sip of tea and smiled slightly.

"You're wrong, Zuo Qing, I didn't do this to destroy Great Xia...... but to save it. ”

"Save?" Zuo Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, "Old Chen, if you want to tell me now that this society is too unfair and dirty, that order should be rewritten, or that human beings are not worthy of living in this world, I really can't help but pull out my sword and kill you." ”

"No, it's not this kind of spiritual salvation, it's the real salvation ......" Chen Lao stretched out his hand and pointed to the nothingness behind Zuo Qing, "In order to save the tens of thousands of people behind us." ”

Zuo Qing's brows furrowed tightly, "Unite with the evil gods to wipe out the new forces of the night watch, weaken the strength of the night watch, delay the formation of the war pass, force the Great Xia God to make a move in advance, and design the murder of the [Mask] team...... You call this salvation?!

Did you know that once Great Xia is defeated in this all-out divine war, the entire Great Xia and the countless people who live in it will be killed because of it? ”

"You don't understand, Zuo Qing." Old Chen opened his mouth slowly, "Only when the Great Xia God is dead and the Night Watch is destroyed, will they let go of Great Xia, and those behind us can live ......."

"Fart!"

Zuo Qing stood up from his seat abruptly, "We have gods in Great Xia, Zhou Ping, human ceilings, and night watchmen...... Why do you think we're going to lose to those outer gods?! You've been a hero for so many years, why did you bow your head and admit cowardice at such a time? ”

"No...... right"

"What's wrong?!"

"When I say 'they,' not external gods."

Zuo Qing was stunned, "What are you talking about?" ”

Chen Lao put down the teacup in his hand and slowly closed his eyes, "There are many things that you can't see, the night watchman can't see, but I've seen it...... Anyway, I've done all those things.

I don't care if you want to kill me, torture me, torture me, feel free to ......

If you think these methods will work for me. ”
