The speaker was Lin Qiming. Although he usually stayed in the imperial capital, because of his relationship with his wife Mao'er, he was the one we knew best among the Seven Swordsmen. We let him come in directly and saw that this guy had nothing but a piece of bread on his left arm.

Apart from the gauze bandage, there was no damage to other parts of the body. I was really lucky.

Lin Qiming told us that the previous meeting on the command ship was almost over, and the commander-in-chief had now specially made time to meet with the major contributors to this operation.

Deputy Director Wang is the high-ranking Deputy Director of Operations in the General Administration. He has always admired his senior brother and can be regarded as one of his backstage members in the General Administration. Although this relationship is only based on work opinions and does not necessarily

It was reliable, but Lao Lin still explained this relationship clearly to us, and we felt cordial. We left Duoduo and Xiaoyao to take care of the tiger cat and Ma Sheng'er, while we followed Lin Qiming to the ship.

The command ship at the front of the team.

After leaving the cabin, I saw many wounded people along the way, some light and some serious. Although most of them were tough guys, there were still faint moans of pain that reached my ears. The attack on the evil spirit altar this time was small.

Fo Ye did not use his main force to attack, but stayed away. However, we still suffered a large number of casualties, and this was inevitable.

Taking a small boat to shuttle between the fleet, we soon came to the command ship in the middle. When we boarded the ship, many people were greeting us. There were many high-ranking people here, including the senior brother. He told us

After our meeting, the commander-in-chief was waiting for us in the front cabin. He wanted to go back to arrange the docking of the fleet and other related matters, so he would not accompany us.

A young man in black came over, took us to the front cabin, knocked on the door, and after receiving a response, he invited us in.

Deputy Director Wang was waiting for us in this cabin, which was decorated as a conference room. When he saw us coming in, he warmly invited us to take a seat. We were not polite, and after respectfully addressing him as "Commander-in-Chief," we sat across from him.

With this title, the old man's eyes seemed a little dim. He spoke softly and said that the mission was over, and I was revoked as the commander-in-chief. To be honest, I am unqualified as the commander-in-chief. The enemy is too powerful.

They didn't confront us head-on at all. Even so, we still suffered hundreds of casualties, so let alone calling this mission a success, it wouldn't be wrong to call it a failure.

Hearing his self-deprecation, I couldn't help but feel respect. The Religious Bureau and the Evil Spirit Sect have been old enemies who have been fighting for so many years. The capture of the Evil Spirit General Altar is of great significance. It can definitely be said to be a breakthrough. It can

To remain calm and conduct self-criticism in the face of such a glorious victory is worthy of being a senior leader of the older generation, who can afford to take things up and let them go, has a broad vision, and has not been carried away.

This matter is easy to say and difficult to say. In front of such smart people, Zamao Xiaodao and I didn't say much words of comfort. We simply responded with a few words, and Deputy Director Wang recovered from his loss.

He walked out, clapped his hands, and said that this operation was not in vain, and many comrades with outstanding achievements have emerged. Among them, the two of you are the most outstanding. To be honest, if it weren't for you two, things would not be the same.

The consequences are really unimaginable, so after the discussion just now, Lu Zuo and Xiao Keming, you guys deserve the most credit.

Deputy Director Wang praised us enthusiastically. At this time, Zamao Xiaodao and I could only say a few words modestly. We were neither eager nor indifferent. We showed a demeanor of not being arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat. Old man's time

Limited, he then directly talked to us about Luo Feiyu and asked about our attitude.

I took a look at Zamao Xiaodao, and saw that this guy was quite calm and silent, so I expressed my opinion, saying that Luo Feiyu had now broken with the evil spirit sect headed by Little Buddha and Foye Hall.

With such an opponent, she should be able to restrain the Evil Spirit Cult's hands and feet, and her performance has always proved that she is a gentle and humane character, so I hope that the bureau can consider it in detail, and it is best not to take her too seriously.

.

"Then what you mean is that we let her go, right?" The old man pondered for a while, and then made a suggestion, whether he could recruit Luo Feiyu?

Luo Feiyu is the right envoy of the Evil Spirit Cult, the third person in name. She must have important information about the evil spirits all over the country. If she can surrender, the actual significance will be far greater than defeating the evil spirit.

However, Zamao Xiaodao and I both shook our heads, saying that this was impossible.

Although Luo Feiyu hates Little Buddha and Buddha Hall, the Evil Spirit Sect is also the brainchild of her grandfather. Although there are many crazy characters in it, there are also people with good and evil temperaments, and those are her friends and

Subordinate, at the same time, she is also full of misunderstandings about the Religious Affairs Bureau, so it is absolutely impossible for Luo Feiyu to betray his friends to seek glory and join the Religious Affairs Bureau.

Deputy Director Wang guessed our answer, nodded, and then talked about Zhao Chengfeng.

He told us that Zhao Chengfeng was indeed a bit eager for quick success this time, but after all, it was justifiable. In the meeting just now, someone mentioned this matter and was full of sympathy for him, so his previous promise may be

It won't be fulfilled immediately, but Xiao Xiao has just beaten him completely, causing his whole spirit and will to suffer a major setback, and he should be depressed for a long time. However, you two don't have to be afraid of his revenge.

For now, you two have the strength that even I am afraid of. Even if you face that old man Shanyang in Longhushan, you may not lose, so they should be the ones who need to worry.

Deputy Director Wang was generous with his praises for me and Zamao Xiaodao, and even vaguely elevated us to the level of the top ten masters in the world, which made me feel a little puzzled.

He said seriously: "As you said, Yizijian fell in this battle, and Taoist Wuchen also lost in the abyss on Dragon Island in Dongting Lake before. It should be difficult to return to the world, and these more than twenty people

During the years, two of the top ten masters in the world have passed away one after another. In this way, the top ten masters of that year are now scattered. However, with spring flowers and autumn fruits, day and night alternate, there are many people in the world who can be called masters.

But there are only a few people who can reach the top. The records of Lu Zuo, you and Xiao Xiao are actually in the eyes of us old guys. In the next ranking, you might be on the list..."

We didn’t talk any more. In fact, these things were just names. For example, Little Buddha, and the Huang family brothers, the number one master in Ouchi and the evil spirit left envoy, who disappeared at the beginning of the war, were not included in the top ten.

It has a great reputation, but they don't need to know it, at least it is much more powerful than the top ten masters like Yizijian or Wuchen Taoist Priest.

After talking about these things, we said goodbye. When we got out of the cabin, we found that the sky was hazy and it was almost dawn, and the fleet had already docked. This was a small dock. The river was foggy, and opposite the dock there was

It is a small county town.

This boatload of armed soldiers and wounded was very eye-catching. Martial law was imposed on the pier, and large military vehicles drove directly into the pier. After the soldiers formed a team, they directly got in the vehicle and returned to the nearest military base, while the wounded were treated nearby.

Because we wanted to avoid being seen and causing unnecessary panic, the scene was a bit chaotic after the fleet docked. However, Xiaoyao and Duoduo came over quickly to find us, and under Lin Qiming’s arrangement, Zamao and I were

Xiaodao sent an ambulance.

In the next few days, Zamao Xiaodao and I were arranged to receive treatment in a secret military hospital in the Dian Military District of Yichang City. Also in the same hospital with us were Senior Brother's assistant Zhao Xingrui and Seven Swordsman Bai He.

, Yu Jiayuan, Dong Zhongming, and some people we didn’t know, the mixed hair trail did not hurt the muscles and bones, so they were alive and kicking in two days, and were hooking up with the pretty nurse girls everywhere, and although I have fat bugs, I still need

Lie down longer.

However, I am very resilient, so I took leave on the fourth day, went to Huang Chenqujun’s hometown, and attended his funeral even though I was injured.

Mr. Huang Chenqu was a lone ranger. Apart from a nephew, he had no other relatives. The funeral was very simple, but he was buried on a high hill facing the sun. The feng shui was excellent. I waited until his family left.

I buried the turquoise sword in front of his grave and kowtowed six times respectfully. However, before I could get far away, I suddenly heard a clear buzzing sound and saw that the sword in the stone actually broke through the ground.

And came out and flew towards me.

The Sword in the Stone circled three times above my head, and finally landed on my hand, trembling slightly. I touched the flying sword that was still covered in soil, and felt a sense of familiarity connected by blood, knowing that this was the sword.

Its recognition of me is also another form of inheritance of the one-word sword. Facing Huang Chenqujun's tombstone in the distance, I placed the sword in the stone on my chest and silently swore that I would never disgrace this sword.

When I returned to the hospital again, I met Li Tengfei who had just come out of the intensive care unit. Through questioning, I learned that the reason why they and Yizijian appeared at the Evil Spirit Main Altar was because they had followed another hidden route, which belonged to Wang Zhengxiao.

, thought he would be able to make meritorious deeds, but Wang Zhengxiao was exposed as a result of someone's conspiracy, causing all the brothers who were traveling with him to be wiped out.

We continued to recuperate in the hospital. There were a large number of injured practitioners here, including those from the Southeast Bureau, the Central and South Bureau, the General Bureau, and the Southwest Bureau. After being introduced by a group of acquaintances, we became familiar with each other.

Needless to say, our injuries were basically healed in early April. We were taken to the Imperial Capital for consultation, but nothing was abnormal, and we stayed at Xu Yingyu's house for several days.
Chapter completed!
