"What did you say?" Leng Jing was shocked.

"Jiaojie City has fallen." Li Ziru replied again.

"How is this possible? I've only been away there for eight hours, and such a huge city fell just as it was said to have fallen?" Leng Jing said in disbelief.

"Don't you know that 8 hours can decide a lot of things? Ao Lie's army launched a non-stop attack on the west and south walls at the same time. Zhenhuang only blocked the west and ignored the south. The south wall only lasted three hours.

It was beaten with thousands of holes, and the Aolie coalition troops rushed into the city. If you had been there at that time, the south side would not have been broken through so easily." Li Ziru's tone was a little reproachful.

"What about Zhenhuang? Is she okay?"

"Zhenhuang fainted after using the electromagnetic gun twice, but was safely taken away by Xie Hu. Xie Hu only evacuated 150,000 troops, and the rest of the troops were almost wiped out."

"It's actually so serious." Leng Jing lowered his head slightly, a little apologetic in his heart.

I really didn’t expect that my departure would wipe out all the 200,000 to 300,000 troops in Junction City. Is this price too high?

Li Ziru seemed to see that Leng Jing's heart was shaking, and he struck while the iron was hot: "Leng Jing, I have sent people to investigate Qu Linglong's disappearance a long time ago, but there is no one alive or dead. All must have been set up by Ao Lie

It was a trap set by Zhang Yuan, and he must have surrendered to the enemy long ago, and maybe he was the one who killed Qu Linglong."

"Damn it..." Leng Jing gritted his teeth. He really didn't expect the matter to be so complicated. If he had known it was so complicated, he shouldn't have killed Zhang Yuan impulsively.

"This time we have completely lost the Western Province, and the Aolie coalition will approach the imperial capital step by step. At that time, the three alliances will officially gather and join forces to besiege the imperial palace... Sigh... I don't dare to think about it."

"I...I...sigh...I was too impulsive." Leng Jing looked guilty.

Li Ziru sighed and said: "It's useless to talk about this now, and you don't have to blame yourself. We must look forward. I have a new breakthrough now. You go to join Lu Bingfeng and capture Baoding City as soon as possible.

Remove the threat from the southeast."

"What's the current situation in Baoding City?"

"Lu Bingfeng and Hongli are both on the southeast front. They have surrounded Baoding City. However, Baoding City is surrounded by water and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There are many defenders in Baoding City, but Wei Chi's elite main force is not in Baoding City.

, they guerrillaed in Baoding City, constantly harassing our camps and logistics troops. Lu Bingfeng ignored each other, causing Baoding City to be unable to be attacked for a long time. Now that the battle in the west has been defeated anyway, you simply don’t have to return to the Western Front.

, go directly to assist Lu Bingfeng."

"So you want me to lure out the enemy elites wandering around Baoding City?"

"That's right, you can solve Lu Bingfeng's worries and allow Lu Bingfeng to attack the city with confidence. I believe that as long as we attack the city for two consecutive days, the fortress will be conquered, and the defenders inside will become turtles in the jar. By then, the Wei Chi Alliance will not pose any threat."

After Li Ziru finished speaking, Leng Jing hesitated. He couldn't help but remember his original purpose. He returned to the imperial capital to investigate Qu Linglong's affairs. However, now that the country was in danger, Leng Jing did not want to sit idly by.

Li Ziru saw that Leng Jing was struggling, but he did not rush him. Because Li Ziru knew that Leng Jing advocated freedom and did not like to obey orders. So far, everything Leng Jing has done for the country has been done voluntarily.

made.

And doing it voluntarily is the most effective.

Li Ziru knows Leng Jing very well. Although he is a temperamental person, he will not let the country be in danger. Presumably Leng Jing will eventually make the decision to assist Lu Bingfeng. However, this determination requires frequent painful struggles and entanglements.

He could only come out later, so Li Ziru planned to give Leng Jing time to think about it.

The audience was silent and waited for Leng Jing for about five minutes.

Leng Jing finally gritted his teeth and said, "I will go to assist Lu Bingfeng tomorrow."

Hearing this, Dong Qun and Li Ziru laughed secretly in their hearts.

"Okay, as expected of Leng Jing, who understands the overall situation is the most important thing." Dong Qun shouted excitedly.

"I'm going back first and will contact you tomorrow morning." Leng Jing left Xuanyuan Hall with a heavy heart.

After Leng Jing left completely, Xiao Tian complained about his father Dong Qun: "I said, you specially called me back, I thought Leng Jing was going to rebel."

"I'm worried that he will rebel." Dong Qun said with a bitter smile.

"Next time if there is nothing important, don't ask me to come back. The front line is busy." Xiaotian stood up unhappily and planned to leave Xuanyuan Hall.

Li Ziru suddenly shouted: "Xiaotian, you are becoming more and more arrogant. How can you have such an attitude towards your father?"

Xiao Tian also retorted unceremoniously: "What kind of era is it now? Look at my dad, he is as fat as a pig. This is the era of the strong, and the weak will only be lost in the torrent of the times."

"Presumptuous!" Li Ziru roared.

As soon as Li Ziru roared, all the guards who were guarding the gate of Xuanyuan Hall rushed in. They took up their stances and pointed all their weapons at Xiaotian.

When Dong Qun saw this, he quickly shouted: "Don't be impulsive, it's okay, it's okay at all. You all should step back."

The guards did not dare to do anything to Xiao Tian. When they heard what Dong Qun said, they immediately put down their weapons and ran away, returning to the gate.

One of the guards quietly muttered to himself: "Damn it, luckily Dong Qun told me earlier. If he really got into a fight with Xiao Tian, ​​he would definitely have to go to the hospital."

Xiao Tian sneered and said to Li Ziru: "Uncle Li, my dad doesn't even dare to yell at me, you'd better pay attention to your propriety."

Li Ziru was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do to Xiao Tian, ​​so he simply kept silent.

When Xiaotian saw that Li Ziru was silent, he showed a very proud smile. He pointed at Li Ziru, backed away while pointing, smiled while pointing, and then turned around and left in a graceful way. (This is done in slow motion, yes

A very good shot, please think about it carefully.)

The whole process was full of contempt.

After Xiao Tian left, Li Ziru said to Dong Qun unhappily: "Look at how you are spoiling Xiao Tian now. He is becoming more and more outrageous."

"Oh, there's nothing I can do about it. Before and at the beginning of the apocalypse, Xiao Tian was quite obedient. But it's different now. Guns and cannons are useless against Xiao Tian. He has nothing to be afraid of."

"This Xiaotian, I hope it won't turn into a time bomb." Li Ziru said worriedly.

Around 7 p.m., Leng Jing went to the cigarette shop again.

The owner of the cigarette shop smiled and said, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Leng Jing did not answer immediately, but looked worried.

The boss knew that Leng Jing must still be thinking about what happened during the day, so he said again: "The bodyguard hasn't come today yet. I will notify you if he comes."

Leng Jing sighed, took out a small box and handed it to the boss.

"This is the 1 million I mentioned before. Here it is for you."

"Wha...what? Are you serious?" The boss was a little overwhelmed by the sudden huge sum of money.

"Well, you can accept it. If you can, please help me find out the details of that bodyguard. Who is he protecting and who does he belong to? Please."

"Didn't you say before that you would delay his stay for five minutes and then contact you?"

"No, I'm going to the front line tomorrow and I won't be able to come back for a while." Leng Jing's eyes were extremely sad.

Although the boss is a small person, he has rich experience. He knows that there must be a very heavy story behind Leng Jing.

"Let me ask, is it for women?" the boss asked.

"Well, I owe her a lot, I have to find the truth."

"I understand you. Don't worry, leave it to me, I will find a way to get the information for you." The boss assured you.

"Then...it's up to you."

"By the way, I'm your fan." The boss suddenly smiled.

"I...ah...thank you." Leng Jing didn't know what to say, so he said thank you.

"Haha, this is the first time I met a celebrity who said thank you to me."

"please."

Leng Jing left 1 million and left the cigarette shop. There was an indescribable sadness in his leaving figure.

"Beep..." Leng Jing started the car and gradually disappeared in the black screen.

In the cigarette shop, the boss's employee walked up to the boss again and said, "Is it really 1 million?"

"Hush, keep a low profile, keep a low profile."

"This is a windfall, boss, do I have a share?"

"Haha, of course you have no part in it. But..."

"But what?" the employee asked curiously.

"But your salary will be doubled in the future."

"Wow, is it true?" The employee's salary was originally 3,000, but now it directly became 6,000. He was extremely excited.

"Of course."

"Boss, I don't know what to say. You are different from ordinary bosses."

"Don't you understand?"

"Well, a little bit."

"I'll tell you why. Because I don't know which one will come first, tomorrow or bad luck."

"Huh?" The employee didn't understand the meaning of this sentence a little bit.

"Don't forget, we are still in troubled times, and Yan and Huang have not yet been unified. Before the unification, I don't know how many people will die. It is a kind of fate that we can become the relationship between boss and employee. The salary I gave you before was

3,000, that’s because I don’t earn much. Now that I have 1 million, of course I will share it with you.”

"Wouldn't it be better if you just give me the money? Why double the salary?"

"Because you are still young and you spend money uncontrollably, I can't give you everything at once. But don't worry, I will keep enough of your money and give it to you when you need it."

"Boss, you are really kind." The employee couldn't help but feel touched.

After the apocalypse, employees have lost their parents and the boss has lost his son. Invisibly, the boss regards his employees as his sons. This feeling is very subtle.

"By the way, I almost forgot..." The boss suddenly patted the table, then ran to empty out the wastebasket and started rummaging around.

"Boss, what are you looking for?"
