The puppets' stage play

Chapter 306 Punishment

"........."

Even the air seemed dull. People didn't say anything, they just looked at the person sitting in the main seat silently.

"I will try to negotiate with him later. Let's stop here for this meeting." Zhou Wen stood up, looked around, then nodded his head slightly, leaned back, and dissipated into countless particles. .

"Boring." Sa Beining sneered and strode away.

Ji Xiuya, who had a calm face, looked at Xu Yan, who had cold eyes, and then looked away without any expression. Merdi next to him had a deep expression and could not tell his inner thoughts.

"..." Wei Song glanced to the side. Chen Gang was sitting there with a deep expression. Even though Gran stood and Zhou Wen left, he still didn't say anything.

He stood up silently, without saying goodbye to the other party, turned around and continued to do his own thing. Chen Gang turned his eyes slightly and stared at Wei Song's leaving back.

"General Chen is Haihan." Jiang Nian walked over, looked at his back in the distance, and whispered to Chen Gang beside him.

"Even if it's from the old department, since he decides to move forward, I won't be able to interfere, but you..."

Chen Gang shook his head slightly, his eyes became sharp, and he looked at the figure in front of him.

Although the opponent's red warriors were elites taken from his former legion, he would not be angry about it. Currently, he was more concerned about other things, such as the person in front of him.

"Since you voluntarily inherited everything from 'Jiang Nian', I won't say anything more. However, I will remind you that if you continue like this, you will never reach the next realm."

Chen Gang looked at Jiang Nian and made a sound of affirmation. The latter was silent for a moment, cupped his hands with a slightly sincere attitude, and turned to leave.

Other generals and some powerful family heads, after witnessing the 'farce', signaled each other with their eyes, remained silent, gathered together, and left in groups one after another.

After a long time, everyone who was eager to stay away from this embarrassing situation left one after another. Chen Gang was the only one left in the originally spacious camp. He fell back and sat on a soft chair on the side, unable to help but recall the previous scene.

................................

"...the main proposals are these. The war is not over, and all actions must be efficient."

Zhou Wen sat at the top and spoke calmly. The generals below nodded silently in agreement. Only a few of them did not move and looked at each other with cold eyes.

"Then, next..." Zhou Wen looked at one of them, "Let's talk about that idol."

There was a hint of deepness in Zhou Wen's eyes. He deliberately put it at the end. In order to solve other problems first, it was now the highlight of the day.

Gran, who has an elegant temperament and looks like a prince, raised his eyes. Even when faced with many previous proposals, he did not make a single sound and just listened silently.

At this moment, he stared at Zhou Wen, with explicit disgust on his face.

"I don't think there's anything to talk about. In private, you and I have discussed it several times. As long as you still have that idea, I can't agree to it."

"This is not a discussion, but a notice. You can only choose to implement it or leave."

Gran's tone was harsh and he showed no mercy to the other party. In the current federation, there was no one else who could stably suppress him, so he naturally did not need to show face to others.

"She is an idol, an idol of the Federation." Zhou Wen said solemnly.

"But before that, she is first of all a member of the Nolen family, not your subordinate." Gran retorted without hesitation.

"Are you trying to control her will and interfere in federal affairs?" Zhou Wen said with a cold voice, his eyes slightly cold.

"It's a joke. The Nolen family has been in the same line since the old generation. There are family laws in the family. If the clan members have any questions, I, the clan leader, will handle them. You, an outsider, are not allowed to interfere!"

Gran sneered, his expression extremely disdainful, ignoring Zhou Wen's ugly face in front of him, he glanced around Zhou Wen up and down with a mocking expression on his face.

"Besides, if we count the Nolen family's contribution to the federation, you, a fake, is far behind."

"————" Zhou Wen's eyes became dark for an instant, and a cloud of purple mist flashed between his eyebrows, and then disappeared again. He took a deep breath, and the coldness in his eyes gradually faded away.

"Of course I understand, but this is wartime. As the strategic commander, I always have the right to handle some things." Zhou Wen looked at Gran. Although the expression on his face was a little unswerving, his words became rational.

"So I didn't stop you from handling other matters. It's just that you can't deal with the Nolen family's affairs." Gran also smiled and said in a tone that seemed light but extremely determined.

"...What are you arguing about?" Chen Gang, who rushed back from the front line with a frown, interrupted the quarrel between the two and asked.

Gran glanced here, and then he fell down, closed his mouth, and stretched his hand forward casually, signaling for the other party to explain.

"Before, I discussed with the head of the Gran family how to use 'reserve' Shirley. Although there are still some conflicts about the specific title, that doesn't matter. What matters is the subsequent arrangements."

Zhou Wen looked here, sorted out his words in his mind, and then said calmly.

"Haha, that's true. It's really boring." Gran praised with a smile, his words very casual.

Everyone present knew that the two were probably arguing about what name Shirley should use as the internal code name of the federation. After all, the goddess, fairy, and saint represented different meanings.

When divided into respective forces, there will naturally be related tendencies. In fact, some people have proposed to immediately recruit new idols, but they have been rejected by the superiors, who believe that the current reserve qualifications are not enough to take on the big responsibility.

Moreover, even if it is carefully cultivated, it will take at least three years.

Therefore, everyone had to look at the only candidate at the moment. They knew that the other party would occupy the Federation for at least three full years. If placed in the outside world, he would be the only idol for hundreds of years.

The major forces were ready to move, wanting to take each other under their control, but Gran showed up forcefully. After smashing several of the enemy's centers, in a short period of time, the opponent's reputation in the federation reached its peak.

He immediately announced that Shirley was a member of the Nolen family, and he would not let go of anyone who wanted to threaten him.

But he himself did not reveal what kind of idol he wanted Shirley to be. Therefore, secretly, countless exchanges of interests and promises for the future poured into each other.

However, today, Gran himself showed an attitude that he didn't care about that kind of thing.

"There are three differences between me and the head of the Gran family." Zhou Wen raised three fingers, his expression looking a little serious.

"First, I think idols should continue to be responsible for supporting ordinary soldiers, reduce the corresponding mortality rate, and not participate in duels between strong men."

"That would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Nolen family. You only pay attention to strategic considerations, but you don't understand that if you really do that, among the people, both Shirley and my family will be regarded as evasion." Fighting cowards.”

Gran shook his head, there was no malice on his face, he just said calmly.

"Second, the people are enthusiastic about fighting at this time, which is conducive to the progress of the war. Although a little malice spills over and the daily behavior becomes cruel, it does not matter. Appropriate cruelty will help the fight. I immediately proposed that idols be temporarily banned. all activities.”

Zhou Wen sighed softly, his expression became serious, and he spoke word by word.

In the suddenly heavy atmosphere, he ignored the dissatisfied looks of others and spoke frankly about his proposal.

"..." People were silent, but in their hearts they felt that this proposal was a bit outrageous.

There is no doubt that this is a very offending suggestion. Even if it is just spoken, it will trigger resistance from people who have good intentions towards the 'idol'. This means that they will no longer be able to see that light for a period of time visible to the naked eye. .

No matter how rational you are, you may occasionally have a moment of ill will towards the speaker.

"Look, this is his so-called 'smart' proposal. It's not that I don't understand his idea. After all, during the purification of the soul, when the dirty emotions are taken away, the brain will become rational and no longer what it is now. Frenzy state.”

"But that was just the strategist's initial idea. He even tried to use his idol as a promoter to encourage war and trigger an enthusiasm for joining the war. He was putting the Nolen family on the fire."

Gran shook his head repeatedly and looked at Zhou Wen with a cold look in his eyes. Obviously, this alone was enough to make him furious. He, who always valued family inheritance the most, was so angry that he almost didn't start a fight with him on the spot.

Chen Gang looked at Zhou Wen, who had a calm face, and felt a little sad in his heart. He understood that if the other party really wanted to implement the proposal, after the war was over, the people who reacted would definitely wake up and target the other party.

By then, removal from office is inevitable, and he will also face accountability. As the culprit who killed and injured countless federal soldiers, he will definitely receive severe punishment.

The Nolen family, which was originally famous, may have plummeted and become the object of everyone's reviling. The best idol now may become the most evil idol. This is naturally impossible for Gran who values ​​the family name. Accepted.

"There is a third point." Merdy looked at Zhou Wen, and his voice became muddy, like the sound made by soaking in water.

Everyone woke up and looked at Zhou Wen. Yes, there is a third point.

"Third, solidify the current optimal idol's state and fix her in a solid posture. After testing, I found that as long as I hold the seeds of her related power, the blessing will exist. Then, in order to ensure safety, To do it to the extreme.”

Zhou Wen was silent for a moment, and then said calmly, and looking at that gesture, everyone present felt a chill in their hearts. This kind of proposal no longer regards the idol as a 'person'.

"This is a dead line. I have already said that no one except me is allowed to attack the Nolen family."

Gran stood up expressionlessly, staring at the other person with frosty blue eyes, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. There was a whistling sound in the room, and a vague figure with a long neck appeared faintly behind him.

"Or are you turning a deaf ear?" His expression softened and he spoke in a very soft voice. He seemed extremely kind, but these words exploded in everyone's hearts like thunder.

"...So, do you want to accept this proposal?" Zhou Wen looked indifferent. He looked at the indifferent Gran and smiled.

Gran's face suddenly turned ugly. He moved slightly, but suddenly stopped. Chen Gang was looking at him silently, and the resolute aura stopped in front of him. Obviously, Chen Gang was prohibiting him from facing him. Zhou Wen takes action.

Snapped! A loud voice sounded on the round table in front of him.

Gran raised his darkened face, took a deep look at Zhou Wen, as if to remember him, turned his head and walked out.

"I don't agree with any of your suggestions, that's it!" He left without even bothering to say anything else, and left directly.

......................

Chen Gang shook his head and swept aside the thoughts in his mind. After that, everyone lost interest in talking. Zhou Wen announced the end of the meeting and left first, while everyone else also left.

"Zhou Wen, what are you going to do..." His head lowered involuntarily, and a weak voice escaped from his mouth. He sighed, feeling a little depressed in his heart, hoping that the other party would not do something wrong.

Plop, plop, plop...

Strange sounds came from the table, in the corners, and above the seats. Chen Gang was indifferent and fell to the spot. The sounds became louder and louder, almost like thunder that kept echoing in his ears.

Boom! Boom! ! Boom, boom, boom! ! !

Wow, there are sparks flashing in the sky, thousands of scenes are reflected, and the eyes can't help but flow. In the bright and spacious room, there is a middle-aged man with a fat body and a beard standing above, showing his extremely familiar expression. .

"What would you do if you were still here, Xu Yin." Someone whispered in the dark room.

Snapped!

Teacher Xu stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air. It made a crisp sound as if he had scratched something.

"...It seems a bit harsh. Haha, don't be so serious. Students, let's talk about some lighter topics."

Teacher Xu waved his hand, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then swayed in his black eyes.

"After all, we are taking a class called 'Civilization Guide', and we are not a small newspaper. We need to rely on gossips that can only catch people's imagination."

"After all, that era is far away from you. I also understand your curiosity about such interesting things, but I also want to solemnly state that I have also read the rumors about the white dove, but they lack authenticity."

"There are no corresponding records in various classics and records. They are just words spoken by others. In short, they are just some 'rumors'."

Teacher Xu smiled and came to a conclusion on this matter.

The student felt relieved and no longer cared about that issue. After all, as the other party said, those things were in the past and had nothing to do with them.

Qi Xiu's eyes moved slightly and he looked at Belusa who was unusually silent on one side. He remembered that Belusa seemed to have special respect for that ancestor. If it was true or false, she would not remain indifferent.

And...he was confused. He knew that the descendants of the person involved were here, but he didn't ask, but just jumped to the conclusion.

Belusa's expression was calm, her frost-white eyes staring at the figure in front of her, even more silent than usual.
