Above Destiny

Chapter 470 Going and Staying

Imagine that the tiger in the cage has been hungry for twenty-one days. How crazy will it be when it comes down from the mountain?
It was as if he had seen with his own eyes the terrifying scene of the Great Emperor leading the supreme imperial army out of seclusion and sweeping away all the heroes in the world...

Ji Jue felt like there was an air conditioner in his mouth and he gasped for cold air madly.

Bitterly cold.

“I didn’t quit drinking at all…”

Lao Zhang's voice rang out from his ears, thin and bitter: "Run, kid... She has been drinking like this for half a month!"

What the hell?

You're stacking up the killing books here? Why is there a berserker mode?!

Ji Jue's scalp went numb and his legs went weak, almost sliding off the table, but he was grabbed and lifted up.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Wen Wen's eyes were close at hand, with a playful smile, "Come, drink."

Snapped!
A bottle of wine was stuffed into his hand, and then he clinked it skillfully, tung tung.

Seeing Ji Jue still staring at her stupidly, she immediately smiled mischievously: "Why, do you want to drink my bottle? How about switching?"

Ji Jue rolled his eyes. He had never thought that after his rebirth, the first thing he would be tested on was his alcohol tolerance. Never mind, drink it… Anyway, if I don’t die from drinking, I’ll just drink until I die…

Otherwise, if you move slower, Wen Wen will just pour it all in.

"Okay, feel free!"

Ji Jue had just put down the bottle and had not had time to eat a bite of food when he felt Wen Wen's hand slapping his shoulder so hard that he almost broke his bone. Then, another bottle was stuffed into his hand.

Wen Wen met her match, full of fighting spirit: "Come on, continue!"

"Just drink!"

Ji Jue rolled up his sleeves and looked at Wen Wen, his fighting spirit burning.

Things are different now. Although I was not as humble as a minion in the past, today I want to let you see that there are also differences in the level of rebirth!
What does it mean that there is always someone better than you?
The God of War jumps!

Then, ten minutes later...the God of War falls asleep!
Embers and ruins are competing in physique? How could anyone have such a ridiculous dream? I can't stand it, I can't stand it at all!

The main thing is that Hanhan is next to him, staring at Ji Jue to prevent him from cheating by interfering with physical properties.

Ji Jue couldn't even break down the alcohol in his stomach, so he didn't even dare to use the Furnace Blood.

I can only grit my teeth and hold on.

After a few bottles, I felt dizzy and started drooling.

"Hey, can we reconcile?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Wen Wen grinned, put her arm around his shoulders, and brought the bottle closer: "Come on, show your toughness... If I, Ji Jue, were not born, the wine road would be like a long night forever, right? Xiao An, remember this sentence for him, and drink it for me!
Good, refreshing! Brother Ji Jue is awesome! Another drink..."

Ji Jue was lying on the chair, making a sound of Ababa.

Old Zhang shook his head and sighed, Tong Hua gloated, Xiao An seemed to understand but felt sorry for GIEGIE, and Wen Wen laughed out loud.

When Ji Xue pushed the door open according to the address, what she saw was this horrifying scene.

"Sorry, I'm late..."

Her smile froze on her face, and she said dully, "...?"

Subconsciously want to retreat.

Unfortunately, it's too late!
Seeing the possibility of diverting firepower, Ji Jue, the bastard, jumped up, grabbed her, and pressed her into the chair: "You're late, right? Go first!"

Snapped!
The speed of Ji Xue's hand left an afterimage, and before she could react, there was a cup in her hand. Then, there was a clink of glasses, ton ton ton, and then everyone looked at her.

In this atmosphere, it would be unreasonable not to drink...

Just one cup, it shouldn’t be a problem, right?

When her trembling little hand subconsciously raised up and took the first sip, everything that followed was like a mudslide.

About ten minutes later, Ji Liu, who came slowly on a motorcycle, pushed the door open and saw his own sister with one foot on the chair and the other on the table, talking about the thrilling battle with the mermaid with a flushed face.

"At that time, the fish was just a few centimeters away from Ji Liu's crotch. Just a few centimeters away... Yeah."

When he turned around and saw Ji Liu, he glared at her:
"——General, why don't you report your name immediately?"

goodong...

Under the gaze of those pairs of eyes, Ji Liu instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and took a step back while swallowing his saliva: "Sorry, I went the wrong way."

Unfortunately, not only Ji Jue was here, but also his sister.

"Don't leave, the thief!"

In a flash, Ji Xue appeared behind him, grabbed her brother and brought him back, then Ji Jue opened his mouth and started to drink the liquid, just like filling a thermos.

Gurgling sounds came out.

Ji Liu wanted to struggle, but his hands were held down by his sister who had found a scapegoat. She laughed wildly, "Haha, I swallowed it, I swallowed it. How do you feel? How do you feel?"

"Brother Shan, save me——"

Unfortunately, Shan Ge couldn't hear you. He was still being forced to work his last shift and had just sent an apology text message.

Not feeling sad at all because of Ji Liu's defeat, the next person to rush to the scene was Xu Guan, who still had no idea of ​​his own fate!

It was originally knowable, but who can blame the ether Tong Hua for this?
There was no clue at all.

He hurried over with his head down, and pushed open the door with an apologetic look: "Sorry, the parking space is not good...what the hell are you doing?!"

Suddenly, pairs of red eyes looked over at the table.

A silent grin.

The conspirators grinned.

Then, friends are no longer friends...

Those who came in later were given a drink each time they pressed a button, it was like a bottomless pit. Even the waiter who went in to change the plates barely escaped his clutches.

After I came out, I said to the foreman: Manager, please call the police! The people inside are crazy. They are even carrying the bottles of Water of Life!

The manager glanced at tonight's visitor list with a numb expression and sighed helplessly.

Is he new here? How come he has only just arrived? Tell the purchasing department that the inventory of liquor is in danger. Don’t worry about the red, white or yellow liquor. Send a truck over here as soon as possible!

When Tong Zhiwu finally hurried over and pushed the door open, he felt as if he had traveled through time... Why were there a bunch of crazy people dancing around the wine table?

Is this still the place I booked?
He took a step back, looked at the name of the booth, and began to sweat.

When he pushed the door open again, he heard Ji Jue's crazy laughter, "Come on, Da Liu, give him the whole job!"

"Fuck, go, ignore!"

Ji Liu, who was drinking so much that he was left with only a small vest on his upper body, heard the words and immediately slammed the table and stood up. He did a backflip and caught the dice that fell from the sky with the dice cup. He slammed it on the table and announced the number with a loud sound:

“Four sixes!!!”

Six farts! You smashed them all!
Xu Guan was half drunk and was about to point his finger at someone and laugh, when he suddenly felt something was wrong—the dice fragments that leaked out from between Ji Liu's fingers, and even the silver light in one of them...

Damn, how come this dice is broken and still has a center?

Hmm? Mercury?

But the next moment, the mercury disappeared without a trace.

Dazzled?
"What's wrong, Lao Xu?" Ji Jue leaned forward with a concerned look on his face: "What's wrong with you? Can't you drink anymore? If you can't drink, you can just sit next to me. Don't force yourself!"

"You fart!"

Xu Guan's face flushed, and he put aside some trivial matters and said, "Open!"

Suddenly, a new handful of dice appeared under Ji Liu's hands like magic. The others laughed. Xu Guan became angry again. He picked up the cup and banged it, and the bottom fell out!

"Niubi! Niubi!"

Ji Jue clapped his hands and praised, fanning the flames: "It's much more straightforward than Da Liu!"

"That's right, he can't!"

Xu Guan grinned, holding the potted plant next to him, and said, "Brother, you don't like to talk. It's okay. Captain Tong doesn't talk much either. You two must have something in common. Let's go!"

"..."

Behind him, Tong Shan, who had a common language with plants, had his eyes twitching wildly.

Look at the way these demons are dancing wildly. In just over an hour, the empty wine bottles in the corner of the room have piled up like a mountain, and the food on the table has not been touched!
"you……"

As soon as he opened his mouth and hadn't said anything, he was pushed down on a chair by everyone, and a fist-sized cup was filled up and slapped in front of him: "Drink!"

Tong Shan sighed: "I..."

"Who are you looking down on? Change the pot!"

Ji Jue pulled out a draft beer cup out of thin air and slapped it, "Come on, fill up my Shan brother's cup! Xiao An, bring another box over so that Zhiwu brother can rinse his mouth!"

"You guys..."

Tong Shan sighed to the sky, glanced at the malicious faces, and suddenly smiled. He threw off his uniform and tie, rolled up his sleeves, and looked down at his opponents in front of him.

"Come!"

How many years has it been since I felt so relaxed and happy?
Putting aside his complaints and grievances, he picked up the wine glass with a big laugh and drank it all in one gulp.

As a result, in the end, no one could eat the food...
.
Two hours later, Xu Guan was lying on the sofa drooling, Da Liu almost turned into a small fountain, and even Tong Hua was lying on the table after being severely punished by his brother.

Wen Wen was a little tipsy, but Lao Zhang remained calm as ever, accepting everyone who came and grinning.

The good thing about the vortex system is that pure alcohol can be drunk as water. If you really want to take down this old man, you need to use poison by the pound.

Although the physique of the Chosen One is exaggerated, there is also wine brewed specifically for the Chosen One, and the sales volume is not low, especially with the financial resources of the Tong family, they simply cannot afford to do without this.

Ji Jue and Tong Shan were already complaining, "If you ask me, you are just too stubborn. If you are not happy with the job, just quit. Come to Xinquan and I will let you be the head of the spring!"

"What the hell is Quanzhang?"

Tong Shan was amused: "The one who manages the faucet?"

"It's not important. The main thing is, how did you manage to stand that idiot Xu Chaoxian?" Ji Jue pouted and made a gesture of cutting his neck: "If it were me, I would have... You know what I mean, right?"

"Who isn't?"

Tong Shan sighed, shrugged, picked up another glass of wine and drank it all: "Sometimes I want to kill him, but it's useless, you know?"

In every sense, it's useless.

Regardless of whether this bastard was killed or not, as a 'saint' chosen and recognized by the Governor of Heaven, and the inheritor of the holy name of 'Solomon', it is absolutely impossible for him to die in an accident unless he dies of natural causes such as old age.

This authority is granted by the Heavenly Governor, and even other saints cannot deprive it of it. In fact, they cannot deprive it and must maintain his survival. After all, the existence of "saints" can be regarded as an extension of the Heavenly Governor. If Xu Chaoxian is really eliminated, it will damage the Heavenly Governor's little spiritual power.

Therefore, Xu Chaoxian was able to escape unscathed from his position in the Ministry of the Interior in the last major reshuffle. His opponents could only throw him out of Central City, erase his records and history, and use their limited lives to restrict him and make him a decoration.

And Xu Chaoxian lived up to everyone's expectations and did it.

Very thorough.

It has become this awesome look that even dogs would shake their heads when seeing it.

But he couldn't possibly tell Ji Jue about all the inside stories, no matter how good their relationship was. It wouldn't benefit anyone. He could only sigh in disgust under the influence of alcohol: "Sometimes I also think it's not easy for him."

"No matter how difficult he is, can he be more difficult than the garbage man outside the city?" Ji Jue sneered, "Is it more difficult than the man who has nothing left and came to assassinate him today?"

All garbage men know how hard it is to leave the past behind and live a clean life if given the chance.

But Xu Chaoxian didn't choose, doesn't he deserve it?
Maybe there are reasons to give up, but giving up is one thing, making money is another, sitting in office doing nothing is another, and allowing the situation to deteriorate to this point is another.

Ultimately, it was his own choice.

Why are people not allowed to hate?
Besides, Ji Jue didn’t take out Pan Ying and Chun Jun to chop off his dog’s head, right?

Tong Shan shook his head: "Xu Chaoxian died, and it's still not good. Who knows what the next one will be? Something like Chaocheng? The taxes will be collected fifty years later..."

All the governors sent by Zhongcheng are worthless. When they are near Zhongcheng, they at least have some dignity. But the higher the mountains and farther the land, the uglier their faces become.

To achieve political achievements, one must use any means necessary.

In comparison, Xu Chaoxian was just a decoration. At least, life in Yacheng and Haizhou was relatively better. This was the only benefit besides being obedient.

When the Federation was first founded, the most important tax among the taxes imposed by the Governor of Heaven on each city was the spiritual tax, which was used to maintain the operation of the laws of the Governor of Heaven.

But over the past four hundred years, with changes in the situation and various chaotic situations, the spiritual tax, which was originally 20% tax, has almost increased to 10%.

However, in order to demonstrate their own abilities, the governors of various places would only raise the price higher, never lower; the price would only increase, never decrease.

Everyone should be thankful that Xu Chaoxian was willing to give up his political achievements and maintain the spiritual tax at 13% to 1, loosening the reins on Yacheng's neck a little bit.

As for more...

It's really hard to expect.

Just be a good decoration and don't drag it down.

"Another drink!" Ji Jue raised his glass.

Tong Shan laughed: "What's the reason for this toast? Wish me a safe journey, wish me a bright future, wish me a high position... Are you done with all these wishes?"

"Well, then let's hope that the disease will defeat Xu Chaoxian soon."

Ji Jue also laughed: "Cheers!"

"cheers!"

Snapped!
Drink it all in one gulp.

"when are we leaving?"

"Don't send me off early in the morning the day after tomorrow. It's inconvenient."

Being transferred from a director of the Yacheng Security Bureau to the head of the Operations Department in Middle-earth seems to be a horizontal transfer with the same rank, but in fact, it is a qualitative leap.

You have to know that the Yacheng Security Bureau is just a local agency after all, while the Middle-earth Operations Office is a direct department of the Federal Security Bureau's Central City Headquarters, and the material and resources that can be mobilized are simply incomparable to its current position.

On the surface it is the Operations Department, but in reality it is the Middle-earth Branch of the Security Bureau, and there are unknown identities and responsibilities behind the scenes. From now on, Plant Brother can be regarded as the commander of the secret service department in the movie. He can sit in the tent and remotely control the actions of the agents.

No matter what achievements you make, you can easily reach Tianting, and you can upgrade quickly.

If all goes well...

It's easy to see that the water behind this is extremely deep. Such huge power and resources are involved. Given Tian Yuan's habits, I'm afraid they will start a fight among themselves first.

Besides, in that damn place called Middle-earth, all kinds of monsters and demons keep popping up like leeks.

The Bai Bang has been destroyed for so many years, and the Bai kings have been killed one after another. Now they are trying to restore their country and are once again competing with the Chi Bang.

After the hard-core hawk regent took office, the Empire's foreign policy became radical again. This might be another proxy war...

"Be safe."

Ji Jue patted his shoulder, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "Do you want me to get you something to boost your energy?"

"Okay."

Tong Shan nodded decisively without hesitation: "But, there is no need to worry about safety."

He paused for a moment, and as the spiritual essence circulated, his aura appeared for a moment, then quickly dissipated and was blocked again.

Only the smile on the corners of his mouth became more cheerful.

Ji Jue froze in place.

Feeling the surging breath at that moment, I was dazed.

Damn it, I haven’t even exposed you yet, why are you here first?

Which of us is the dog?

More importantly, the breath of the young plant just now has undoubtedly touched the essence of transcendence, and has the characteristics of a circle, which can transform everything around it into its own domain at any time...

"Why are you so outstanding?!"

Ji Jue was shocked: "When?"

Tong Shan sipped his liquor and sighed, "Last time you were doing something, I had some inspiration, and I made a breakthrough when I was working overtime on the high seas a few days ago."

"What last time?" Ji Jue was at a loss. "Which time?"

"..."

For a moment, the entire box fell into silence again.

Now, it was Tong Shan's turn to be stunned. He looked over and was speechless with shock:

"What else have you been doing?"

"..."

Ji Jue lowered his head awkwardly and coughed twice: "Well, not much, just a little bit big and small."

Tong Shan didn't want to talk anymore.

Just think of it as a dog barking and roll your eyes.

drink!

I achieved a breakthrough and was transferred to Middle-earth. You did new things after you completed Tiangong. We all have a bright future, okay?
"By the way, this is for you."

They drank until dawn, and when they were finally closing up, Ji Jue took something out of his pocket and threw it into Tong Shan's hand.

"Work badge?"

Tong Shan was stunned for a moment, squinted his eyes and moved closer, and was amused: "Agent... Supervisor of Coastal Industrial Zhongtu Branch? What the hell is that? Asking you to work for you and expand your business?"

"Don't worry, I don't need you. This branch has no one except you. It's just an empty shell. If you have time, you can help me bring in the goods."

Ji Jue waved his hand indifferently, paused for a moment, and told him: "If there is anything...small that is inconvenient to do, take this to the Homecoming Knights, and they will definitely help you get it done.

Of course, the money must be paid!"

Tong Shan turned the work badge over and touched the back, and immediately felt the secret spiritual circuit inside, which seemed to be some kind of authentication and identification certificate.

Since Ji Jue could take it out, it means it is definitely not an ordinary membership card.

If he can say that he has done a beautiful job for you, then it will definitely be beautiful.

But isn’t this approach a bit too wild?
"Just right."

Tong Shan smiled and put it in his arms: "Thank you very much."

"Okay, let's go."

Ji Jue finally waved his hand and said, "I wish you all the best in Middle-earth, Director Tong!"

"That doesn't sound like a good word."

Tong Shan sighed softly, turned around, and finally looked at the smiling faces at the street corner. He was silent for a long time, and finally laughed and waved:

"Goodbye, everyone."

Just like that, he took Tong Hua and boarded the car that drove away.

Disappear.

"Gone." Lao Zhang sighed.

"Gone." Ji Jue sighed.

"Gone." Xiao An seemed to understand but not quite, and repeated it instinctively.

Wen Wen leaned on her motorcycle, smoking for a long time, and said with emotion: "It's great."

"Hmm? Promotion and salary increase?" Ji Jue laughed: "Now that the plants are gone, Sister Wen, are you planning to make some progress? I support you and will definitely vote for you!"

"... and then kill Xu Chaoxian on the first day of taking office?"

Wen Wen thought about it for a moment, and was amused by herself. She waved her hand and said nothing more: "I'll go first."

"See you."

She put on her helmet and started the scooter.

Amid the roar, the locomotive blended into the hustle and bustle of traffic, weaving nimbly towards the front.

In the wind blowing in her face, Wen Wen began to feel absent-minded.

The locomotive passed by on the viaduct, and she turned around to look at the sparkling waves on the sea in the distance.

When I came to my senses, I realized that I had become accustomed to this kind of scenery.
I wanted to change my environment, go to a place where no one knew me, clean up my act and start over. But after so many years, I am still...

Difficulty moving.

Suddenly I want to drink.

Then, a phone call suddenly rang and was connected.

Lu Yingyue's voice came.

"Hey?"

"I'm here." Wen Wen said, "You should have seen the email from a few days ago, right?"

"I originally said I would call you in the afternoon, but now you should still be awake. I hope I didn't disturb you." The voice on the other end of the phone laughed, "Sorry, I just saw it now."

Wen Wen subconsciously turned the accelerator and accelerated: "What do you think?"

"What do you mean?" Lu Yingyue seemed not to respond.

"My email, my resignation letter." Wen Wen said, "Even if we follow the procedure, it's a bit too slow, isn't it?"

"I called to tell you this."

Lu Yingyue paused and sighed, "Sorry, I can't approve it. I have many reasons. You can find as many as you like."

Wen Wen frowned: "This is not what we agreed on!"

"Indeed, we agreed at the beginning that we would use Yacheng as our base and give you the greatest authority to act within the scope of your rights, and you can come and go freely." Lu Yingyue sighed: "But the key is, are you really free, Xiaowen?"

"Secretary Lu, can we stop playing word games?" Wen Wen said irritably, "Why am I not free? I am extremely free. I will be even freer after I resign, okay?"

"And then? Go back to the original path?" Lu Yingyue asked back: "You wrote so many reasons for your resignation, why didn't you write the most important one?"

“……” Wen Wen was silent.

"Because of Wen Zheng, right?"

Lu Yingyue said: "I heard about that guy, and then I was furious. I couldn't wait to draw my knife and fight him. I wanted to win quickly and die quickly.
But will that guy really do what you want? As a holy fool known as a guide, isn't he best at subtle guidance and control?
Without the restraint of the Law of the Overlord, how are you going to suppress the nature that you hate and resist? Or do you intend to embark on the 'right path' that he has designated for you?"

When Wen Wen twisted her wrist subconsciously, she realized that the accelerator was already at the bottom.

She retorted: "Couldn't it be that I just can't stand that bastard Xu Chaoxian and want to crush his head, so I don't want to do it anymore?"

"Unfortunately, no." Lu Yingyue shook her head: "If it were you, Xu Chaoxian's head would have been shattered when you said this to me."

Wen Wen had nothing more to say.

"So, just consider it as me breaking the agreement... Xiao Wen, I can't let you go astray and repeat the same mistakes. It's nice to leave the burden and constraints behind, but where are you going? Are the things you abandon really worthless?

Can you move forward without hesitation and never look back? "

Wen Wen was silent.

The phone was hung up at some point.

The locomotive roared, shuttling through the roads during rush hour, brushing past trucks and climbing over them. Its speed was getting faster and faster, but it couldn't find the direction, so it just moved forward instinctively, numbly.

The locomotive stopped on the side of the road until the fuel tank burned out and the overheated metal wailed.

When I looked up, I realized that I had returned to the Beishan branch office without realizing it. People were coming and going on the street outside the mall.

Wen Wen took off her helmet, raised her head, and stared at the sunlight reflected on the glass curtain wall of the office building.

After a long moment, there was a silent sigh.

Cursed a dirty word.

In the crowd, the girl in the white dress looked at her quietly for a long time, then turned and left.
