Chapter 23 Tea and Knife(2/2)
The generals took action, together with Her Majesty the Queen's apostles, as well as elites from all continents, who overcame many difficulties and finally eradicated it.
"You should congratulate General White Lizard and the Legion Commander, they have contributed the most."
Zhong Yuan said calmly: "My elite team is at best just a chess piece in the Battle of Duolu River. The two of them are the chess players who strategize and win the battle thousands of miles away."
"No matter how powerful the chess player is, he still needs sharp chess pieces." Lin Lin smiled and said: "Without an elite team, no matter how powerful the generals and army commanders are, they cannot attack cities and territories alone..."
This is the pertinent truth.
The "elite team" under Zhong Yuan was a very important part of the force in the Dolu River disaster.
This is indeed an era where "personal force" determines the right to speak.
The throne of God is high above.
The authority of the highest seat is greater than anything else.
Because those at the top of the table do have the terrifying power to clear millions of obstacles on their own.
However, there are only a handful of such magnificent powers in the entire five continents.
They are invincible and they stand at the top.
But there is only one of them.
There are more and more collapses of order occurring in the five continents every day, and they are already countless... Even if there are [apostles] under each god's command, they are constantly running for it, and they cannot take care of everything.
The scales in this world are fair. One end of the scale is all living beings, and the other end is "gods".
All living beings need "God".
In the same way... God also needs all living beings.
"Since you are sincerely congratulating me, why not take 'Hong Zhong's' body as a gift." Zhong Yuan lowered his eyes and said in a gentle tone, "This is an old man from the second team. I must take him away..."
Lin Lin sighed softly.
"otherwise?"
"Otherwise... many people will be heartbroken." Zhong Yuan raised his head and stared at his old friend.
The extraordinary men of the Survey Corps gave everything they had.
However, what they can get is very little.
The most powerful one is the legion commander’s unequivocal promise——
【"If you die in a foreign country, you will definitely get a rich burial!"】
The next group of explorers to set off will do their best to bring back the bodies of the "heroes". Their souls will float over Beizhou, staring at the young people they sheltered on this land, free and
Grow up independently.
"Their bodies may decay."
"But the spirit lives on."
Lin Lin suddenly chanted in a low voice. This was a famous saying by Her Majesty the Queen. During the last military parade at the border of the fortress, Her Majesty the Queen paid tribute to the heroes of the Survey Corps who died fighting for Beizhou.
He paused and said: "If Hong Zhong is really a hero, then Gubao will give you back everything you want... But so far, I can't admit the 'hero' title given to him in the Beizhou Forum.
.”
Zhong Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Not long ago, Yuan Yuan, the deputy captain of the second team, arrived at Gubao Fortress... He had heard everything.
Because of the arrangements made by the Legion Commander.
The second team deployed nearly half of its elite force to take charge of a new round of maze tasks.
After Yuan Yuan arrived, he directly had a conflict with Lin Lin over the matter of being a "hero"!
"As for my vice-captain, I don't want to argue with you for the time being... But regarding Hong Zhong's title of 'hero'..." Zhong Yuan calmed down and said slowly: "If you want to erase his glory,
Better give me a convincing reason."
"I'm sorry. I didn't."
Lin Lin shook his head.
He pointed to his head sincerely and said, "I just think something is wrong."
It's a hunch.
After knowing each other for many years, Lin Lin had nothing to hide. He mentioned to Zhong Yuan more than once that his premonitions were very sharp.
Those beautiful golden eyes, the color in the depths of the eyes, has obviously darkened.
Zhong Yuan put down his legs on the table.
He sat upright and spoke again, slowly confirming: "So... you detained 'Hong Zhong' just because your hunch told you that you should do this."
Lin Lin nodded: "Yes."
"Is your hunch accurate?"
Zhong Yuan narrowed his eyes, picked up the tea cup, lowered his head and blew in the hot air.
The tea mist bird rises.
He couldn't see clearly what kind of complicated look was flashing in his golden boy at this moment.
Lin Lin sighed again. He knew that this reason was really difficult to accept.
premonition.
The most elusive thing in the world is a premonition.
"Very accurate."
Lin Lin looked at his old friend seriously, "In all these years, I have never made a mistake."
silence.
After a short silence.
Zhong Yuan suddenly poured out the hot tea in his hand. He did so very quickly. The tea in the cup that was still blowing a moment ago now bloomed out like petals.
The moment before the hot tea is spilled.
Lin Lin, who was sitting on the other side of the long table, gently pushed the edge of the desk. The wheel hub of his seat rubbed against the ground and moved quickly to one side. The hot tea spilled out and rubbed against his moving and rotating seat.
Spray out the window...
The two actions happened almost at the same time.
And after Lin Lin and the seat rotated once, what he saw was a freeze-frame picture with a hidden meaning of cruelty——
Zhong Yuan, who was sitting upright, jumped onto the long table like a cheetah. He pulled out the dagger at his waist, and the tip of the dagger was touching Lin Lin's eyebrows after he had moved.
"So...is your premonition really accurate? Besides throwing tea, did you also guess that I would use the knife?"
Zhong Yuan spoke calmly.
Lin Lin's expression remained unchanged.
"certainly."
He said calmly: "I avoided the tea just because I didn't want to dirty my clothes. I didn't avoid your knife because... you wouldn't really stab me. I know you too well. You are a hard-mouthed person with a soft heart."
Guy, the purpose of your trip to Gubao is just to use pressure to complete the task of bringing Hong Zhong back. You don't really want to use force to solve the problem. Of course, if you really want to use a knife, you can give it a try... try
Let’s see if I can avoid it at this distance.”
Zhong Yuan fell silent.
He put away the dagger and silently sat back on his seat.
The two looked at each other.
Lin Lin felt a little guilty: "Zhong Yuan..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhong Yuan took action again.
There is also a cup of tea on the table, which is Lin Lin's own tea.
Lin Lin's hole shrank slightly...
There was a "crash" sound.
Zhong Yuan grabbed the cup of tea as fast as lightning and threw it out.
This time.
Lin Lin, who was sitting on the seat, did not hide. He was soaked all over.
Zhong Yuan used this crisp, simple and crude way to interrupt what Lin Lin was about to say.
Then he walked out of the study without stopping at all.
Zou Hai, who was standing outside the study door, looked stunned.
He watched the captain of the second team, who was small but had an amazing aura, walk out of the study gloomily.
Chapter completed!
