Chapter 861 They?

　　Zuo Qing was carrying a straight sword on his waist, standing so quietly in front of the door of the short room, and after a long period of silence, he still reached out and knocked on the door of the room.

　　Duk duk duk!

　　A moment later, a pale figure with a head full of silver hair opened the door.

　　”Huh?” That old man seemed to be a bit surprised when he saw Zuo Qing, “Little Zuo …… Oh no, Commander Zuo, didn’t you say you were going to have an online meeting? We’ve been waiting for you in the video for half a day, why did you suddenly run to me?”

　　Zuo Qing didn t say anything, just gazed down at the old man in silence.

　　In the middle of the barren and empty countryside, only the sound of chickens crowing echoed from afar.

　　The old man stared at Zuo Qing for a moment, smiled helplessly, turned around and walked into the house, and spoke leisurely, “Come in and sit down.”

　　Zuo Qing’s right hand rested on the hilt of the straight sword, followed behind the old man and walked into the short room.

　　The interior furnishings of the short room were better than the outside, simple and practical furniture was neatly placed everywhere, the poured gray cement floor was spotless, and as far as the eye could see inside the house, the only modern electronic equipment was a digital TV, and a special computer with a secret key.

　　That computer was for the internal use of the Night’s Watch, and it was still a version from more than ten years ago.

　　Zuo Qing sat down on the bench beside the square table, while the old man unhurriedly walked into the kitchen and brewed a cup of tea with a large red kettle, and then sat down opposite Zuo Qing, handing the teacup in his hand to Zuo Qing.

　　”I don’t have any good tea here, you know that, simply drink some.” The old man looked at the silent Zuo Qing and added with a smile, “Of course, if you don’t want to drink it, you can skip it.”

　　Zuo Qing looked at the steaming glass cup and didn’t choose to touch it, but slowly opened his mouth:

　　”Elder Chen, what have you been busy with lately?”

　　Chen Lao took a sip from the teacup at his own pace and laughed, “What am I busy with, don’t you already have the answer in your heart? Otherwise, you wouldn’t have used video conferencing as a means to monitor all of the senior management ……

　　The only person you really want to monitor is me, right?

　　You’re worried that I’ll escape before you get here?”

　　”Is this an admission on your part?”

　　”There’s nothing to admit, when I started planning all of this, I had already predicted that today would come.” Chen Lao paused, “It’s just that, in my anticipation, the one sitting in front of me right now should be Ye Fan ……”

　　”Disappointed you?”

　　”No, on the contrary, I’m very happy.” Elder Chen said with a smile, “I think that you are even more outstanding than Ye Fan.

　　Although Ye Fan is deep-minded and smart, his heart is too soft …… He clearly realized that there is a problem of corruption and rigidity in the Vigilantes’ top echelons, but due to the merits and face of those old-timers, he delayed taking action, resulting in him not having absolute control in the Vigilantes’ top echelons.

　　But you are different.

　　As soon as you came to power, you took advantage of Zhou Ping’s deterrence and your own means to successively outlaw all of those old and corrupt senior executives, replacing them with newcomers promoted by your own hands, and even this teacher of mine was transferred by you to the second-tier management, losing the right to speak in the high-level meetings.

　　You’re ruthless enough, bold enough, and your heart and vision don’t lose to Ye Fan in the slightest, even though both of you were soldiers I brought out back then, I used to think that you’re better suited than Ye Fan to command the Night’s Watch.”

　　”It’s all because the teacher taught me well.” Zuo Qing returned nonchalantly.

　　Elder Chen held his teacup with a smile, and as if he thought of something, he asked, “Right, where’s Mo Yu? Dead?”

　　”Dead, crashed into my knife by himself and died.”

　　Chen Lao sighed with some pity, “Although this grandson of mine is not as smart as you and Ye Fan, his qualifications are still quite good, if he is properly cultivated, he can actually be a good successor ……”

　　”But you still personally pushed him into the abyss.” Zuo Qing’s eyes iced over, “At that time, I brought Chen Moyu around, not just because he was your grandson, but I did see the shining place in him, and I also had high hopes for him ……

　　But why did you have to destroy him with your own hands?

　　You laid these innings, I understand, but you …… I still do not understand.

　　You used to be the night watchman with a lot of achievements, you have taken two personal ‘Star Sea’ medals, six personal ‘Star’ medals, in that era, you are the hero in everyone’s heart, I, Ye Fan, Shao Pingge…. I, Ye Fan, Shao Pingge… were all brought up by you.

　　If it wasn’t for the evil Wang Qing, you would have been the fourth Commander-in-Chief of the Night’s Watch.

　　I don’t understand why such a person like you would do such a thing. Do you want to witness the destruction of Da Xia with your own eyes? Is this what you want?!”

　　The more Zuo Qing spoke, the angrier he became, those eyes staring deathly at the calm old man in front of him, his voice trembling a little.

　　Elder Chen calmly sipped his tea and smiled faintly.

　　”You are wrong, Zuo Qing, I am not doing this to destroy Da Xia …… but to save it.”

　　”Save?” Zuo Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Elder Chen, if you are going to tell me right now something like this society is too unfair and dirty, the order should be rewritten, or humans don’t deserve to live in this world and this kind of nonsense, I really won’t be able to resist pulling out my sword and killing you.”

　　”No, it’s not this kind of spiritual level rescue, it’s a real rescue ……” Chen Lao stretched out his hand and pointed to the nothingness behind Zuo Qing, “In order to save the tens of thousands of people behind us.”

　　Zuo Qing’s brows tightly wrinkled, “Jointly with the Evil God to wipe out the newborn power of the Night Watch, weaken the strength of the Night Watch, delay the war pass from taking shape, force the Great Summer God to strike in advance, and design the murder of the [Mask] squad …… You call this a rescue?

　　Do you realize that once the Grand Xia loses in this all-out divine war, the entire Grand Xia, as well as the countless people who reside therein, will be buried as a result?”

　　”You don’t understand, Zuo Qing.” Chen Lao leisurely spoke, “Only when the Great Xia Gods die out and the Night Watch is overthrown will they spare Great Xia, so those behind us can live ……”

　　”Fart!”

　　Zuo Qing violently stood up from his seat, “We have gods in Da Xia, we have Zhou Ping, we have human ceilings, and we have the Night Watch …… What makes you think that we will lose to those foreign gods? You’ve been a hero for so many years, why did you bow your head and concede at a time like this?”

　　”It’s not right ……”

　　”What’s not right?!”

　　”The ‘they’ I’m talking about is not the Outer Gods.”

　　Zuo Qing was stunned, “What are you talking about?”

　　Chen Lao put down the teacup in his hand and slowly closed his eyes, “There are many things that you can’t see, that the night watchman can’t see, but I’ve already seen …… In short, those things, I’ve already done.

　　I don’t care if you want to kill me, or torture me, torture me, feel free to ……

　　If you think those tactics will work on me.”
