Evil Emperor Zun

Chapter 1045
In the evening, without Qiao Xiying's knowledge, Lian Huacan quietly returned to the mine boundary.This time, Meng Chan was also with him.

With the help of the "back door" left earlier, Lian Huacan easily opened the barrier.Although the virtual soldiers in the room counterattacked quickly, they lacked the command of a general. These stragglers were vulnerable to Lian Huacan.After a few rounds, they were beaten to pieces, turned into a series of data streams, and disappeared without a trace.

"Come on, let's rearrange the formation." Lian Huacan squatted down, grabbed handfuls of ores, and sprinkled them again. Hearing the crisp crashing sound between the ores, the smile on his face continued Expand, "Now the top vein is ours."

Meng Chan glanced at him with a half-smile: "Don't think I don't know. Are you really not guilty at all for taking advantage of the feelings of an innocent little girl?"

Although Lian Huacan didn't elaborate on his plan when he mentioned it to everyone, but only boasted about his wisdom, Meng Chan quickly figured out the joint.

If the person he used was Qiao Xiying, what else could he do to persuade that girl to betray the faction?It's just that the person who asked him to "excuse him", if he knew that he was ruining his reputation like this, would he be so angry that he would kill him directly.

It can only be said that a person's most beloved person is her greatest weakness. If she talks about it all day long and makes everyone know about it, it is really not a good thing.

Lian Huacan raised her eyebrows in disdain: "Why are you guilty? This is a battlefield! Soldiers are not tired of deceit, you know? Being deceived by me can only show that she is stupid!"

"Mo Gucheng doesn't do anything in our group, so it's time for him to play a role."

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and set up the formation." Soon, he glared a little irritably, "If you delay any longer, the people from Group B will be here!"

Meng Chan smiled noncommittally, and stopped arguing with him.The seals between the fingers moved, and the golden pattern intertwined across the sky, communicating the mysterious energy hidden in the space.Several pieces of colorful ore flew out immediately after, each occupying the eye of the formation, stirring up layers of spiritual power vortexes.

Essentially speaking, she is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business. Although she also thinks that Lian Huacan's use of Qiao Xiying's feelings is too bad - besides, it is in the name of others - but she will never do it for the sake of disdain He is a man, and he doesn't even do the formation.In the end, this matter has nothing to do with her, and in her heart, it didn't arouse much reaction from the beginning.

Except for extreme good people and extreme villains, like Meng Chan, she will never take the initiative to do bad things, but she will turn a blind eye to all kinds of injustice around her, which may be the vast majority of groups in society .Such people will also be referred to as the "silent majority" on the Internet in the future.

……

At the beginning, Qiao Xiying watched Lian Huacan leave the mine vein with her own eyes, and she also re-strengthened the barrier by herself. In her heart, this matter was over.Unexpectedly, when she woke up and came to the hall for breakfast, she just heard the noise of the crowd arguing.Several people were arguing fiercely, and it sounded like it was related to the mine veins.

"How could the barrier be broken by someone? Did you remember the wrong location?"

"Brother! The mine is just that big. I go there every day. Maybe I found the wrong one? Now not only is the barrier broken, but a formation has been re-arranged there, and the defense ability has been strengthened several times. It is clearly Demonstrating against us!"

"I'll go! Our mine veins were robbed by group A? These goddamn gangsters, if I get caught..."

"I always feel that this matter is quite bizarre! The enchantment was broken, how could we have no sense at all? Then who, you are an enchanter, did you sleep too hard at night, and the enemy broke into the house? do not know?"

"This is impossible! I swear, I have been staring at the enchantment with a ray of consciousness! Unless...unless there is a ghost in our team!"

Qiao Xiying didn't understand what she heard at first, but as the news of "mine veins being robbed" actually entered her mind, it was like a shocking Jiao Lei that exploded her thoughts, together with her worldview. Together, they were all torn apart.

"What? Lian Huacan clearly promised me that he just picked up a few pieces of ore outside and left! How could this be..."

Shocked, she even forgot to keep a secret for herself, just like this in front of everyone, with her eyes wide open, talking to herself in shock over and over again.

"What did you say?" Everyone stopped arguing and looked at her with unfriendly expressions, "Do you know what?"

"I..." Qiao Xiying looked at the questioning gazes, unable to argue, she muttered softly, and moved back helplessly, "I..."

Seeing her reaction like this, even the dullest person can realize what happened.

Ye Shuo stood up from the table and stepped forward, staring at her with burning eyes.Although normally he always presents himself as a good old man, at this moment he was really angry, but the stern aura that rose from his body was also oppressive.

"You brought the enemy in?" Seeing that Qiao Xiying was only retreating in a panic, she turned cold and shouted: "Did you not!"

Qiao Xiying was already out of her mind, and after hearing the yelling, she was even more frightened by him, so she just tried to defend herself in vain: "He told me at the time...he just wanted to help Senior Brother Gucheng, so I believed it. He's dead, how do I know..."

Ye Shuo's face became more and more gloomy.He really didn't expect that in this troubled time, when everyone is thinking about the team and trying their best to share the worries of the coach, there will be a little girl who rarely participates in the battle. Just because of her boring feelings, she will betray everyone and give the team Such a great loss has been caused!
They have already lost Geng City, and the current supply of equipment depends on the bit of top-level ore mined.Losing the mine vein now is equivalent to stripping them of their armor and throwing them in front of the enemy.Can this battle still be fought?How to fight?

"Qiao Xiying, you leaked the confidential information to the enemy. The crime is serious and you are like a rebel!" Ye Shuo became more and more angry, and waved his hand fiercely, "Come on, drag her down first and put her in jail! How to deal with it later will be decided later." I will make a decision after discussing with several generals."

Qiao Xiying's eyes widened in anxiety: "I... I know I was wrong, but I really didn't do it on purpose!" She looked around, ran to Shen Antong's side quickly, and gently tugged on her sleeves for help. : "An Tong, tell him for me, I really didn't mean it! I don't want to go to prison!"

"Didn't you do it on purpose?" Ye Shuo completely ignored Shen Antong, his brows were raised upright, and his eyes seemed to be shooting out with anger.Some mistakes can be forgiven, but some mistakes are not worthy of forgiveness!

"This time you leaked information about mine veins. Next time, if you are deceived by the enemy and leaked top-level military information, thousands of soldiers will die because of you in the future! Can you bear the consequences?!"

Qiao Xiying's eyes widened in horror.And this serious crime also made some people who more or less wanted to intercede for her all die down.

In this way, Qiao Xiying was still put in prison.

Regarding her final punishment, Group B immediately held a meeting to discuss.

Ever since Feng Qiwu was emptied of power, Wucheng and Jicheng were all temporarily under the management of Ye Shuo. Basically, he is the biggest commander here.The meeting was presided over by him, and everyone expressed their opinions.While listening to their discussion, Ye Shuo couldn't stop making calculations.

Some people said that she was just a little girl who was ignorant and should be forgiven, but immediately some people objected that if she was punished lightly this time, there would be no guarantee that no one would follow suit next time.If everyone can betray the team for one reason or another, without paying the price in the end, how can this battle be fought?
Then someone said that because this was the first case of a traitor, it should be dealt with emphatically, so as to serve as a warning to others.But some people objected that if he really wanted to raise military law at every turn, wouldn't he become the same as Feng Qiwu back then?If a tyrant has just been overthrown, but the successor behaves exactly like him, it will inevitably arouse the resistance of the lower class, and may cause even greater disturbances at that time.

Ye Shuo just listened to their argument and didn't express his opinion for a long time.But his heart is far from the peace it seems on the surface.Now he is feeling over and over again that "leading is difficult".

Until now, he kept flashing in his mind how Qiao Xiying stared at him angrily and helplessly when she was being dragged down by several guards, and cried out sadly:

"Ye Shuo, you are so cold-blooded and ruthless. Although you emptied Feng Qiwu's power, you have only become another Feng Qiwu!"

Thinking of her beautiful eyes full of despair, Ye Shuo sighed deeply.

All along, he has no experience in commanding people.The only time he held a high position was probably when he became the Supreme Elder of the Dingtian Sect.But, that was just being a hands-off shopkeeper.

Management matters, matters that would offend others, were all helped by the head of Situ Yucheng.So apart from showing up occasionally to show off his "charisma"—if he has one—to inspire everyone, he hasn't accumulated any real experience.

This time, it was a bit hasty for Ye Shuo to become the commander of the two cities.Maybe it was because he was the boss for the first time, and he was going to lead everyone to fight, and he led a group of wealthy nobles from Tiangongmen.

As for the deepest point of experience, although the superiors seem to be majestic, they have many unknown helplessness.

Why do people say that after sitting in a high position, people will change. In fact, he himself probably hasn't changed, but the way he handles things has changed, and he must change.

If he is just an ordinary person today, then he can act according to his own preferences, and even favor a certain side arbitrarily.Even if you are blamed, you can laugh it off.Because he is just an ordinary person, there is no burden on him, and he does not need to be responsible for the world.

But once he becomes the leader, he must balance the overall situation.A bowl of water is not fair in the end, and for this reason, the interests of some people have to be sacrificed.

In this way, the group represented by the victim, because of their unwillingness, will deliberately propagate the injustice of the rule and arouse the resistance of the people.But if he had obeyed him at the beginning, there would be another group of people to denounce, and he would never be able to take care of everyone's interests at the same time.

This time, he did sacrifice Qiao Xiying's interests for the sake of the overall situation, and because of this, he aroused her hatred.Next time, if someone else violated military discipline, he could only make the same choice.

For the sake of the army, he must choose the path that is most conducive to long-term development. Even if he bears the misunderstanding of everyone, even if he is scolded by others as a tyrant, he has no choice.

Up to now, Feng Qiwu seems to be able to understand some of Feng Qiwu's heavy punishment.But it is only "understandable", but it will never agree.

Because, he never regarded soldiers as human beings at all.He abused lynching to satisfy his own selfish desires.No matter what, I can't become like him!
……

A few days later, Ye Shuo basically had the answer in his mind.He ordered his subordinates to open the cell door and go to visit Qiao Xiying.

Qiao Xiying looked haggard in her prison uniform.When the cell door opened, she looked up urgently, but when she saw that it was him, she turned her head resentfully, and turned her face to the wall.

Ye Shuo didn't get angry, and patiently knelt down beside her, talking to her gently.

"Xiying, what's the matter, are you still angry with me?"

After he coaxed and coaxed, all the grievances in Qiao Xiying's heart seemed to erupt. She turned her head suddenly, and shouted in a half-crying voice:
"No! I already knew I was wrong, and you still insist on throwing me in the prison. You just use me to show off in front of other soldiers! The new official took office three times, and you burned me in the first one." Come on!"

Ye Shuo suddenly darkened his face: "You still haven't realized your mistake."

"Why should I punish you? It's not because of who you like, because this is the army, and you violated military discipline. Your mistakes alone may drag down the entire team..."

"This is not a real army!" Qiao Xiying interrupted him.

Seemingly realizing that she had committed a taboo, Qiao Xiying bit her lip, endured and endured, and finally said it all: "Feng Qiwu is right. This is just a game, and the game will not cause any harm. What serious consequences. If this is a real war, I will definitely not defect to the enemy..."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that what she said was reasonable, and she gradually became angry: "I think it's you people who can't even distinguish between virtual and reality when playing games! Has no one taught you, is it right to be too addicted to games?" OK!"

While speaking, Qiao Xiying kept raising her head, staring at him provocatively.If Ye Shuo's way of handling things becomes completely the same as Feng Qiwu's, then she thinks it would be better for Feng Qiwu to continue to be the master here!Anyway, he looks pretty handsome!It looks more seductive too!
