"He didn't come back?" Hoffman asked in a deep voice, his body still sitting upright and his military uniform straight.
"Didn't come back." The young man in the robe replied bravely, and then he mustered up the courage to say: "Father, we have so many powerful masters, we can send other masters there. This Duanmu Tianban ranking is only 3222, and our hand
There are other warriors stronger than him..."
His father frowned, and the young man in the robe shut up knowingly, but he didn't feel that he had said anything wrong. He didn't understand why his father valued Duanmu so much. Could it be that as his father got older, he started to miss old friendships?
Hoffman relaxed his brows and regained his composure: "Xillin, what do you think is strong?"
"Strength is difficult to define, but the ranking on the Tianbang should explain some problems." Xilin said somewhat unconvinced.
"Really?" A joking smile suddenly appeared on Hoffman's face, but his tone was extremely cold: "Then do you know how many golden warriors died in Duanmu's hands?"
Xilin was stunned for a moment, then his face changed drastically, and he stammered: "He... can he kill the golden warrior?"
"Five." Hoffman raised his palms, and the joking on his face disappeared, replaced by a cold and ruthless expression like a poisonous snake: "Isn't it surprising? Never jump to conclusions about things you are not familiar with. This world is more complicated than before.
You imagine it's bigger. Can't figure it out? Haha, some people have ten percent strength, but they can only perform seven or eight points, while others, who have eight percent strength, can exert twelve points in his hands.
Points of strength.”
Xilin stood there dumbfounded.
"The more powerful people are, the more they are addicted to force and unwilling to use their brains, because they don't need to. If a person is used to using force to solve problems, and you think he encounters problems that cannot be solved by force, he can use force to solve problems.
Good brain? Naive!" Hoffman stood up: "Such people are just pretending to be powerful. A simple plot can ruin his life. Are there not many golden warriors on the sky list who died because of plots?
Duanmu's strength is not as good as that of a golden warrior, but he has enough patience, a calm mind, and can make decisive judgments. And such a person only needs good strength to be stronger than others!"
"Be a brain person, Schilling!"
Hoffman's last words were not polite at all.
"Yes, father." Xi Lin's green and red face returned to calm.
Seeing that Xilin calmed down, a hint of approval flashed in Hoffman's eyes and he said, "Then analyze it now."
Xilin took a deep breath, got rid of those negative emotions, regained his composure, and said in a deep voice: "As my father said, even with Duanmu's strength, we can't escape unscathed. Three Soul City must be much stronger than we expected.
It’s a good thing that Duanmu was killed. If he hadn’t been killed, then Sanhun City would most likely have learned of our existence. In other words, there is no room for change for both of us.”
Hoffman said expressionlessly: "Go on."
"Since there is no room for change, there is no need for us to cover up." Xilin's voice was like the winter wind, filled with murderous intent, and his white palm slashed in the air: "If you don't do one, you won't stop.
Let’s take down Three Souls City!”
"Very good." Hoffman nodded: "You go ahead and do this. I don't care what method you use. If you can perfectly solve the Three Souls City, then I will make suggestions to His Majesty and let you take the lead alone."
A hint of surprise flashed in Xilin's eyes. His father was extremely rigid and stubborn. Once he made a promise, he would definitely make it come true. He asked, "Can we use the army?"
The usual joking expression appeared on the corner of Hoffman's mouth: "Do you still need to use the corps? Just send any person to solve it."
Xilin was not discouraged. He knew that this was a test for him from his father. Only by passing this test could he gain his father's true recognition.
"Okay!" Xilin nodded heavily.
Hoffman watched Xilin leave with high morale, with a trace of relief in his eyes.
Among the several sons, the one most likely to succeed him is Xilin.
Xilin has excellent talents in all aspects, but he is more than peaceful and not enterprising enough. Now His Majesty is very ambitious and it is the time to be aggressive. How can such a peaceful temperament win His Majesty's favor?
Then use Three Soul City to sharpen Xilin's temperament.
Only the tempering of iron and blood can make him truly mature.
Three Souls City, interrogation room.
Duanmu in front of him was very cooperative, pouring out everything he knew like beans. Once Duanmu understood the situation, he would not hesitate at all.
Sai Lei, who had prepared many methods, did not even use any of them, which made her very disappointed.
Taking the information they got from Duanmu, the group began to meet. They needed to find out useful information. This was Loquat's specialty, and even Tang Chou was far inferior.
At this moment, Dingdang broke in, and everyone looked at her.
"Hoffman is going to take action against us." Dingdang said succinctly: "His eldest son Xilin is making moves."
Dingdang is not what it used to be. With sufficient funds, her intelligence network has expanded and penetrated at an alarming rate. Nowadays, she rarely comes to the front desk. At Loquat's suggestion, she established an intelligence organization called [Yun
[Xiameng], on the surface, Yunxiameng looks like the most ordinary intelligence organization, reselling information. No one knows that Yunxiameng actually serves Sanhun City.
In order to deal with Hoffman, the Yunxia League mobilized all its forces and desperately collected intelligence.
"Judging from the current signs, the one who wants to attack us is Hoffman, not Ophiuchus." Loquat's words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
The force represented by Ophiuchus is too strong and cannot be resisted by the current Three Souls City. If it were just Hoffman's personal intention, it would be much easier to handle.
Tang Chou said in a deep voice: "If this hypothesis is true, then the possibility of Hoffman using the corps is very low."
In any constellation, the use of the Corps will never be regarded as a private act. If Hoffman did not want to cause other people to misunderstand, then he would never use the Corps.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief again. Only Bing lowered his head and clenched his fists involuntarily.
I'm still not strong enough!
The feeling of being so suppressed by the old enemy is really terrible.
When will Ophiuchus be able to ride on his neck and show off his power!
Bing's face was gloomy, but he didn't speak. He was angry because he was angry with himself. He felt that the Southern Cross Corps fell into his hands and was suppressed by Ophiuchus. It was so humiliating!
Although he has countless reasons to tell himself, he has only been working for a few years, how many years has Ophiuchus been in business, etc.
But, I still feel unhappy!
No reason to be unhappy!
He bit his lip tightly and said nothing.
Only Tang Chou noticed the strangeness of Bing. Others did not quite understand the grudges between Southern Cross and Ophiuchus, and they could not connect the war 10,000 years ago, the soldiers, and Ophiuchus. In their case,
In our eyes, Ophiuchus is just a declining equatorial constellation. Although it was once one of the zodiac constellations, it was too far away.
Everyone was in high spirits.
"This is the list of warriors that Xilin may use." Dingdang's face could not hide his fatigue, and his voice was hoarse and dry.
It is rare to see a girl with a ponytail who is always energetic and spirited. Everyone knows that Dingdang must have put in a lot of effort for this list.
"Leave it to us!" Sai Lei couldn't help but said softly, and then snorted coldly: "With this list, if you are defeated by others, I will buy a piece of tofu and hit you to death!"
"That's right!"
"Dingdang, go and rest quickly, leave it to us!"
Everyone said one after another.
"Don't worry about me, I'll just rest on the sofa for a while." Dingdang walked to the sofa in the corner, curled up like a cat, and soon fell asleep sweetly.
Xilin quickly obtained information about Three Souls City.
"They have tightened the martial law. It's even tighter than before." The young master glanced at the information and said nonchalantly, "It seems they know you are going to take action."
"It's not surprising to know." Xilin said slowly.
"If you ask me, the old man is being hypocritical. Just sending a regiment is not as simple as squeezing an ant to death?" Young Master shrugged: "You have to do this trick."
"Father naturally has his own considerations." Xilin said: "I came to you this time because I hope to get your support."
"Oh, my eldest brother, did my ears hear it right?" The young master's expression was exaggerated and he said in an even more exaggerated tone: "My eldest brother would actually support me, a loser!"
"You don't have to say such things." Xilin said calmly: "You and I have the same interests. If I am not the one who takes over, who do you think will let you go?"
The young master suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball: "Okay, what do you want?"
"Money." Xilin said, "Besides money, what else do you have?"
"Yes." Young Master nodded: "How much do you want?"
"All." Xilin said two words with a calm expression.
"What?" Young Master thought he heard wrongly.
"All your money." Xilin hit the nail on the head: "This test was given to me by my father. I must complete it beautifully. Don't worry about your money. If I pass the test, you can also get ten times the money."
Earn it back. If I don't pass, the money you have now is not yours."
The young master was speechless. He didn't even have room to refute what the elder brother said.
"In this battle, you, like me, can only win, not lose."
Xilin looked at the young master.
The young master saw the cold stars flashing in his eldest brother's eyes and knew that his eldest brother was serious this time.
The young master's expression also became serious: "As long as you are serious since childhood, there is nothing you can't do. Okay! I'll give it all to you! All my wealth will be staked on you, not a single star coin will be left! You must win!"
Xilin was moved, but said nothing. He just patted his brother on the shoulder, feeling high in fighting spirit.
I am attending an annual meeting in Shenzhen. I drank a lot in the evening and I feel dizzy. I have been coding since the end of the party. After coding, I am sober and hungry.
