In the private room of a restaurant in the Eight Kings City, the Qin Commander and the Shen City Lord, the two "dragon leaders" of the Eight Kings City realm, sat opposite each other.

The Shen City Lord glanced at the empty table and said with a smile: "Commander Qin, you and I get together without wine, I'm afraid this is the first time, right?"

"I have business to discuss with you, and I will drink until later. Then, Commander Qin went straight to the point, "The people in my camp were attacked after entering the realm of the demon clan in the west, and some people were even killed, I think you should have heard of this. For the sake of the future of the Eight Kings Camp and you and me, I plan to report to the higher authorities and open up a demon extermination battlefield on the west side of the camp. ”

"No, right? I heard that they are just some poisonous snakes and beasts, and they are not powerful demon clans. If it's really that powerful, wouldn't it be good if you don't set foot in the demon clan realm again?" City Lord Shen leaned closer and whispered, "Commander Qin, don't sell it between you and me, let's talk about it directly." ”

"When the demon extermination battlefield is opened, a large amount of materials and money will naturally be allocated to help our camp and the Eight Kings City strengthen their defenses, and there is an abyssal moat on the west side of the camp, which is a natural fortification. In this way, you can save a lot of money, and then it will naturally be in your pocket. "Commander Qin was actually reluctant to say anything, but before he came, Zheng Huaili strongly recommended that he say so, in order to test the meaning of the Shen City Lord.

"Let me think about it. City Lord Shen got up and paced around the room, round and round, and just when Commander Qin's patience was about to run out, City Lord Shen finally spoke: "Commander Qin, forgive me for not agreeing. ”

Commander Qin was a little displeased: "I don't know how the Shen City Lord thinks about it?"

"The Demon Eradication Battlefield is only beneficial to your Eight Kings Camp, but it is not beneficial to my Eight Kings City at all. The people in your camp are all demon soldiers, and the people in my city are ordinary people, who do not want merit or danger. After the battlefield is opened, it will inevitably cause riots in the city, and the people in the city will call for migration. Second, how many and how strong the enemies of the demon clan are, Commander Qin must know in his heart. If it is thoroughly investigated, I will have to bear the responsibility with you; if it is too much, if it is stronger, I am afraid that your Eight Kings Camp will not be able to resist it, and then my Eight Kings City will suffer, and the blame will still fall on my head, it is better to be like this, why bother to provoke the demon clan? Therefore, if you go straight to declare, I will not stop you, but you must not use my name. "City Lord Shen is very thoughtful and thorough.

It's just that how can Commander Qin listen to it? He doesn't bother to care about what the Eight Kings City is, all he cares about is himself. "Then don't you want those possessions?" Commander Qin asked with a gloomy face.

The city lord of Shen smiled and said, "I said Commander Qin, are you so sure, will the top allocate rich wealth at that time?"

"Oh, possessions don't matter to me, I have a vision for the future of the Eight Kings and myself. ”

"Okay, I'll give you back the same words. Possessions don't matter to me, I have a vision for the future of the Eight Kings and myself. That's all I can say. Farewell. City Lord Shen arched his hand at him and walked out of the room.

Commander Qin sat down silently, the joints of his fists crackling.

......

Commander Qin returned to the Eight Kings Camp with a belly full of fire, and Zheng Huaili was standing at the gate of the camp waiting. Commander Qin glanced at him and walked straight towards Xiaolou.

"It seems that that Shen City Lord really didn't buy the account ...... of Commander Qin," Zheng Huaili thought to himself. He smiled and chased after him.

After entering the stone tower, Commander Qin angrily shouted at Zheng Huaili, who was following him: "Why do you have to let me tell my true intentions? Now it's good, the city lord of Shen knows my purpose, how can this wishful thinking be played?"

"Don't be in a hurry, Commander. I suggest that you give your ultimate benefit and the truth, just to know what he really thinks. We gave him a chance to choose, but he didn't know how to lift himself, so don't blame us for being ruthless and unjust!" Zheng Huaili said.

"What do you mean by that?"

"As the saying goes, 'One mountain does not tolerate two tigers', and the territory of the Eight Kings City is so large, but now there is a city lord and a camp commander, don't you think he is an eyesore? The camp of the Eight Kings is on the top of the mountain in the suburbs, and the City of the Eight Kings is on a flat land, and you have lost the geographical advantage; there are thousands of people in the City of the Eight Kings, and he has raised his arms and shouted, and there are not a few supporters, and even if everyone in the camp is determined to obey you, you only have these dozens of people, so the people are also a little different. In short, his influence in the Eight Kings Realm is much greater than yours. If he obediently obeys you, or is with you, then it's okay to say. Unfortunately, after tonight's temptation, it seems that this is not the case. ”

"You're right. Sometimes I felt as if his tone didn't take me seriously at all, and he told me a lot of things about the realm of Eight Kings after he had made a decision, not to discuss with me. It seems that he has been the dictator of this place for too long, and he is used to it!" Qin said.

The corners of Zheng Huaili's mouth raised: "That's right." Now that you show up, he's not used to it. Even if this incident aside, he will always be a potential threat, and I am afraid that sooner or later he will stand against you because of different interests. Instead of letting it go, it's better to use some means now, and it's a hundred!"

"You're asking me to kill him?" Commander Qin said in surprise, "This ...... Doesn't that seem right?"

"Of course it's not proper, where do you want to go, Commander!" Zheng Huaili couldn't help but laugh, "The death of a city lord is a big deal, no matter whether the murderer is found in the end or not, you can't get out of it! Zheng is not talented, and now he has a plan of killing two birds with one stone and killing two birds with one stone, which can not only eradicate the trouble of the city lord Shen, but also help to open up the battlefield of demon extermination!"

Commander Qin was overjoyed: "Come on!"

Zheng Huaili smiled "hehe",

Attached to the ear of Commander Qin, he whispered in his ear, and said it like this, making Commander Qin smile and praise him repeatedly. He hugged Zheng Huaili's shoulder: "Okay, you! I only let you be a broken captain, it's really condescending!"

"To be appreciated by the commander, it is enough to have more wishes. I have already arranged the manpower, as long as the commander gives an order, I can set off immediately!" Zheng Huaili's mind was really bright, and he had already expected the result of Commander Qin's meeting with the Shen City Lord, so he had made arrangements in advance.

"Alright, alright, let them act immediately!" Commander Qin ordered.

The night was dark, and several figures quietly turned out of the camp of the Eight Kings, each of them wearing night clothes, quickly blending into the vast darkness.

"Commander Qin, when you are in a good mood, do you feel that your mouth is a little lighter?" Zheng Huaili said with a smile.

"Oh, could it be that you have already prepared a banquet?" Commander Qin pushed open the door of the hall on the second floor of the stone building, and a table full of delicious food and wine came into view.

Commander Qin laughed heartily: "You are simply a roundworm in my stomach, hahaha! Come, eat and drink together!"

"It's better to be respectful than to obey. Zheng Huaili didn't push back and took a seat.

The mood is good, the appetite is good, the delicious food, a few jars of wine slippery stomach.

Commander Qin has always praised Zheng Huaili for his smart mind, and his attitude towards him is even more affectionate than that of his own brother. After drinking another jar of wine, Commander Qin's face was already red, his eyes were wandering, his tongue was stiff, and his speech was slurred, it seemed that he had drunk too much.

"Why did his amount of alcohol suddenly become smaller?" Zheng Huaili wondered, judging from the previous situation of Qin Commander's drinking, it was like a "wine vat", and saying "massive" might be belittling him. Zheng Huaili saw him lying on the table and didn't move, and was about to get up and leave, but he heard Commander Qin sigh regretfully: "Alas......"

"I don't know what else the commander is unhappy about?" Zheng Huaili turned around and asked, but he didn't get an answer, it seemed that the Qin commander had fallen into a deep sleep.

Zheng Huaili stepped out of the room and was about to close the door, but he heard Commander Qin say vaguely: "Wine, sex, wealth, and gas, only one ear is missing!"

"Huh?" Zheng Huaili stepped into the room again, closed the door, and asked, "What does the commander mean?"

Commander Qin raised his head and seemed to be smiling: "No wine is not a courtesy, and the world is sparse without color." How can you live without wealth, and you will be deceived without anger! Now you have wine to get drunk, wealth to spend, and gas to come out, but you are colorless!"

Zheng Huaili was happy, as the saying goes: "Full of warm thoughts (silver) desire", it seems that Commander Qin is thinking about women. "If the commander can still go, I will send you down the mountain and into the city. There are several green buildings in the city, with their own various colors. Zheng Huaili said.

Commander Qin waved his hand impatiently:

"Fat powder fragrant bones,

Tea and wine are welcome.

Meet and laugh,

Keep an eye on the wealth in the pocket.

Lang love concubine intention fake,

No affection.

Gentle country in dreams,

The Morning Rim has been defeated.

Those vulgar powders, remnants of flowers and willows, how can they be enough?"

Zheng Huaili said with a smile: "I didn't expect Commander Qin to still have a temperament. It's just that except for my friends, it is rare to see other women in the camp on weekdays, and it may be difficult to fulfill my wish by dominating this tenderness!"

"Haha, yes! she's the only woman......" Commander Qin staggered to his feet, "I'm going to go upstairs and lie down." After stumbling a few steps, he didn't go far before he hit the corner of the table, and the plates, bowls, altars, and lamps shattered to the ground.

This crisp sound startled Zheng Huaili coldly, his heart sank, and he said in his heart: "Could it be ......" When he looked at Commander Qin again, the door had already been closed.

The sound of porcelain cracking still seemed to be echoing in Zheng Huaili's ears, extremely harsh. "Could it really be ......" He crouched down, looked at the debris on the ground, frowned and thought for a long time, and then slammed his fist on the ground.

......

Early the next morning, the unfortunate news came from the Eight Kings City - last night, several families in the south, north, and west of the city were slaughtered.

The city lord Shen was anxious at this time, and he rushed to the scene as soon as he received the news, and the murderer had long since disappeared, leaving only the miserable corpses and rotten flesh. Some witnesses claimed that the murderer was not human, and that he moved silently, and his huge body could be seen by the moonlight, with a large mouth of blood, eyes like copper bells, horns and thorns, and abnormal speed, and he also ate people without spitting out bones. It is worth mentioning that among the people who were killed, there were two Yi, three talents, and even a few four-elephant level sword demons, so that the murderer could be determined to be a demon clan.

Lord Shen couldn't understand that the Eight Kings City had been built for many years and had been safe and sound, but he didn't want such a tragedy to happen during his tenure. The people in the city talked a lot, and all kinds of speculations were overwhelming. Coupled with the rumors that the people of the Eight Kings Camp were attacked by demon beasts not long ago, the people's hearts were in turmoil, how powerful should the demon beasts that could easily bite and devour the masters of the four elephant level should be?

When he received a notification from his subordinates that Commander Qin had come to see him, City Lord Shen suddenly realized that this matter might not be inseparable from him. It's a pity that the tragedy has been born, and he has no evidence, and even the people's tone has been affected by the people who fanned the flames, so he can only shake his head and smile bitterly, knowing that he will not be able to sit in the position of the city lord for a long time.

Sure enough, within a few days, an urgent order from above reached the Eight Kings City, removed Shen Chengrong from his position as the city lord, and went to other camps to listen to the dispatch. The position of city lord was temporarily taken over by Qin Hanhai, the commander of the Eight Kings Battalion. A new demon extermination battlefield was opened on the west side of the Eight Kings Camp, and the walls of the Eight Kings City were renovated and expanded.

Zheng Huaili's plan was realized step by step.

On this day, as soon as Zheng Huaili, who was proud of the spring breeze, returned to the camp, he was pulled by Zhao Xianglin to the Daqian Bridge.

"The surname is Zheng, you give me an honest explanation, the tragedy in the Eight Kings City is

Didn't you arrange it?" Zhao Xianglin asked angrily.

Zheng Huaili nodded calmly: "How do you know?"

Seeing him admit it, Zhao Xianglin was so angry that she almost fainted: "I happened to be outside the house that night, and I accidentally caught a glimpse of a few black shadows and quietly left the camp. I wanted to go and have a look, but I found that it was a few masters, and I lost it. So I had to turn back and wait. They came back in the early hours of the morning, and I saw them enter your room! Then, in the early morning, the news of a tragedy in the city came, and how could I not be suspicious?"

"You didn't meditate in your room that night, what did you do outside the house, did you spy on me?" Zheng Huaili frowned and asked rhetorically.

"You're embarrassed to ask! Calculate carefully, how many times have you not come to see me? Have you forgotten that there is still me as a person? I just went out of the room to admire the moon and relax, but I found that you were doing such a thing...... "The more Zhao Xianglin spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and her grief-stricken eyes were full of tears.

"Some things are also unavoidable. Zheng Huaili said something that didn't hurt.

Zhao Xianglin shook her head, took two steps back, and tears finally flowed down: "In order to achieve the goal, can you do whatever it takes? For the sake of the so-called future, can you forget human nature? Dignified man, where is your justice and pride? No, no, you have changed, you have become so terrible, you are no longer the Zheng Huaili I know, not my 'humble and polite' Zheng Huaili......" Poor Zhao Xianglin seemed to be stunned, and kept repeating the last sentence.

"Lin'er......" Zheng Huaili just took a step forward, but Zhao Xianglin suddenly turned around and ran away.

Zheng Huaili didn't catch up, but whispered to her back: "You don't understand, sometimes, what should be given up has to be given up......" After Zhao Xianglin disappeared from vision, Zheng Huaili let out a long sigh and turned to leave.

......

That night, Zhao Xianglin lay on the small table in the room, washing her face with tears. Why did he suddenly become so cruel and cold-blooded, or was this what he was hiding behind his gentle exterior? She couldn't figure it out, and she didn't want to figure it out.

"Bang bang bang", the knock on the door rang out at an untimely time. "Lin'er, I know you're here, open the door, okay?"

Zhao Xianglin wiped the tears on his face, took a deep breath, and said coldly: "What else do you have to say about this matter? I will never favor you in this matter, I will report to Commander Qin, if he covers up, I will ...... to the generals and marshals of my superiors."

"Are you still planning to sue the Emperor?" Zheng Huaili interrupted, "Open the door, listen to my explanation first, that is not my intention, I also have a hard time." ”

"Oh, is it?" Zhao Xianglin opened the door with a hint of renewed hope, "Okay, you can say it!"

Zheng Huaili said, "It's not a place at the door!" As he spoke, he raised the wine jar in his hand at Zhao Xianglin.

"When is it that you still have the heart to drink?"

Zheng Huaili put the wine jar on the table, turned around and closed the door: "When you listen to me, you will naturally accompany me to drink this jar of wine." You don't have to go to Commander Qin to sue me, because this is his will, and I am just doing things for him. ”

Zhao Xianglin's eyes widened: "Commander Qin, why does he want to do this?"

"Isn't it to force away the Shen City Lord? One mountain can't tolerate two tigers, like Commander Qin, how can he allow someone to be an equal to himself by his side?" Zheng Huaili pretended to be helpless, "Commander Qin was very much in favor of my proposal to open up a demon extermination battlefield after hearing it. But when the battlefield was opened, it was not only about our camp, but also about the people of Li in the Eight Kings City. At that time, I just suggested that the Qin Commander go to the Shen City Lord to discuss related matters, such as strengthening the Eight Kings City, building camp fortifications, and so on. But it seems that the Shen City Lord is a little timid, not only does he not support the opening of the demon eradication battlefield, but also asks the people in our camp not to set foot in the demon clan realm again. As a result, the negotiation between the two broke up unhappily, and Liangzi was concluded. In order to eradicate the Shen City Lord who was in the way, the Qin Commander made that vicious plan. That's the way it is. ”

Hearing that Commander Qin was the mastermind, Zhao Xianglin's tone softened: "Then you can't be insensitive and act for the tiger!"

Zheng Huaili said sadly and angrily: "Then what can I do? This is the camp of the demon army, he is our commander, can I resist him? Can I resist him? Even if I want to die in the net, isn't there still you? Commander Qin knows that we have a close relationship, it doesn't matter if I die alone, what should you do?"

Zhao Xianglin's heart was moved: "That...... Then let's run away together, to the ends of the earth!"

"Lin'er, how easy is it! If you escape from the army, can you still survive? Besides, even if I don't do this, there will be a second Zheng Huaili to do it. Instead of running away, it's better to face it. The forbearance of evil at the moment is for the sake of justice in the future! When I have the ability to contend with Commander Qin, I will naturally not forget to settle this account with him!" Zheng Huaili looked filled with righteous indignation when he said this.

"I'm sorry, I blamed you......" Zhao Xianglin's tears welled up again.

"Don't say it, it doesn't matter what other people think of me, as long as you can understand me, it's enough. Come, drink this glass of wine, and forget about these unpleasantness for a while!" Zheng Huaili offered the wine cup with both hands.

Zhao Xianglin didn't know how to drink, but at this time, the heart that had been clenched finally relaxed, so she took the wine cup and drank it all, followed by the second glass, and the third glass...... She completely forgot what Zheng Huaili once said: "I don't have the habit of encouraging a girl to drink." ”

Gradually, Zhao Xianglin only felt that her body was getting hotter and hotter, and her head was getting more and more dizzy, and Zheng Huaili's face seemed to be gradually distorted.

"I ...... Is this drunk......" This was Zhao Xianglin's last thought before he became unconscious.
