Military expenditure distribution, post-war pension budget, maintenance reports, personnel transfer...

Looking at the tables one after another, he yawned so much on New Year's Eve that he wished he could just sneak out and practice his sword.

On New Year's Eve, he buried his head deeply in piles of documents, and once again regretted that he hadn't ruthlessly refused Xun Liangzhou's request.

sleepy……

He swallowed a pack of energy potions, feeling like a game player who has no physical strength but is being played by the authorities and forced to move his liver.

And - New Year's Eve frowned and covered his belly.

Before meeting Lin Zhen, although he killed him, he was also injured a little bit.

It stands to reason that it should be resolved easily, but I don't know if it's because the other party blew himself up, but this source of energy still remains in his body and has never dissipated.

Moreover, the golden totem on the back of his neck began to ache again.

On New Year's Eve, I once lifted my hair from the back, and I thought of myself.The totem that looks like a palm print seems to spread, and the fine lines on it are fully visible.

But at this moment, the culprit who made him burnt out appeared in front of him with a smile on his face.

——Xun Liangzhou patted him on the shoulder, raised his tail voice, and said with a smile: "Lin~Lieutenant~"

New Year's Eve put down the document in his hand, pursed his lips, said nothing, his eyes were full of silent condemnation.

Looking at Liangzhou, he wanted to grab his face.

Xun Liangzhou coughed, suppressed the feeling that he was abusing child labor, and said, "Okay, I know you don't like doing this. But if Marshal Song intends to let you take over the Third Army in the future, you still have to start from scratch." Learn?" Xun Liangzhou persuaded earnestly.

In fact, he was also kind and wanted to exercise his ability on New Year's Eve.

Xun Liangzhou is a high-level military officer of the empire, and he is also a third-level grand master.Know more about cultivation.

For example, the several levels of source warriors collectively referred to by outsiders are called Qi Refining Realm in ancient books.After refining qi, you are a master, the peak of a master is a false saint, and the queen of a false saint is a holy rank.

As for reaching the holy rank, grabbing the sun, the moon, and the stars is another world.

——Xun Liangzhou heard that when Lin New Year's Eve broke through, the Qi Refining Realm was perfect, and there was no time in Xiantai. Most importantly, New Year's Eve was still so young.

I dare not say that I will definitely break through to the holy rank. After all, the incident of hurting Zhongyong has happened too many times in history, but at least the possibility is not low.

As long as the New Year's Eve reaches the holy stage, in the eyes of Xun Liangzhou, it is almost a sure thing to take over Song Shaoyu's third army, so let's train it well now.

In order not to be like Song Shaoyu again, he likes to leave everything to himself and Huaiyu, and disappears at every turn and can't find anyone...

New Year's Eve blinked, thinking that even if Song Shaoyu wanted someone to take over the Third Army, he definitely hoped that Gavin would take over.

The marshal-level military uniforms are very beautiful. I thought about how Gavin would wear them on New Year's Eve, and I felt very much looking forward to them for no reason.

But there is no need to tell Xun Liangzhou about this kind of thing.

"Oh." After replying such a word on New Year's Eve, it seemed that he was still not very happy.

So he searched for Liangzhou, flipped and flipped, took out an invitation card from his bosom, and placed it in front of New Year's Eve.

"Since you don't want to work so much, His Majesty the Emperor held a banquet, which is a celebration banquet. The time is six o'clock in the evening." Xun Liangzhou sighed, and said, "Do you want to go and see? Your friend Wen Li from back then is also there It's on the commendation list."

As the legitimate son of a wealthy family, Wen Li naturally went to the First Legion where the rich and powerful gathered together.In this war, his performance was also quite eye-catching, which brought honor to the Wen family.

On New Year's Eve, he showed hesitation and some hesitation.

Xun Liangzhou added: "Gawen is also on the list."

As soon as the words fell, New Year's Eve stood up instantly, paused, covered up his eagerness, and politely accepted the invitation from Xun Liangzhou.

"I'll go." His smile was impeccable.

...Damn it, he knew it.

Xun Liangzhou couldn't hold back, pretending to be angry and said: "Gavin Jiawen, I knew Gavin in one day. If you didn't save him, your name would be on the commendation list now! Hmph, don't finish today's work , not allowed to go to get off work!"

At first, he pretended to be angry, but later, General Xun got really angry, feeling like "a married daughter with her elbows turned outward", and left angrily.

Sitting in the office on New Year's Eve, I feel that Xun Liangzhou's temper is really unreasonable... After all, no matter whether he has a text or not, according to his time concept, he has to finish his work today.

……

The next afternoon.

He changed his clothes early on New Year's Eve, and took the invitation card from Xun Liangzhou.Get on the starship to the palace.

According to the rules of the ancestors, unless the royal relatives are relatives, other people's private starships can only stop at the gate of the imperial city and enter the city on foot.

The venue of the banquet was Qionglin Garden, which was used to entertain scholars who had won Jinshi in ancient times.Now it is naturally suitable for entertaining young talents.

The invitation card was presented on New Year's Eve, and the palace servants led him all the way forward, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, without saying a word.

Along the way, ladies in dresses kept looking at him and whispering.

"Is that person Marshal Song's adopted son?"

"It's said to be an adopted son, but it's actually an illegitimate son, right? Song Shaoyu is afraid that having a concubine's eldest son will affect his Princess Shang..."

"Joke, which princess is not waiting for him eagerly? The eldest princess of Changle has been waiting for Song Shaoyu for ten years, but she still hasn't waited for the marshal to change his mind. Let alone the eldest son, even the eldest son, as long as he is willing to nod, these eyes are higher than Will the top princess still compete for marriage?"

"Has this Lieutenant Lin ever been married?" A young girl suddenly asked, her face blushing for a moment.

An older woman smiled, and gently covered her face with a fan: "He's prettier than Song Shaoyu back then... Even if he's never married, I'm afraid it won't be your turn."

……

In the imperial city, there is a source pattern array that has been deployed for many years, and the sky is forbidden. Even the holy ranks cannot fly here, and they will be attacked by the source pattern array at every turn.

On New Year's Eve, I was patient and followed the palace people for a long time before arriving at today's main venue.

Qionglin Garden is not small, it is built around the lake, at a glance, it is full of people in twos and threes.It looks like the West Lake during the peak tourist season.

It was still early at this time, and the banquet had not officially started yet.

When he stepped in, the palace man standing at the door took a look and shouted: "Under Marshal Song's residence, Lin New Year's Eve. Come—"

Although the Qionglin Banquet was held in the name of the emperor, Li Zheng was old and rarely appeared.

There are a total of 72 families in the empire, and there are no fewer than hundreds of people present.Except for some civilian officers who were invited by the military department, the rest are direct descendants of various families, and there are many unmarried family daughters.

These women who can't practice are like the most experienced hunters, carefully choosing their future reliance for themselves.

Not long after New Year's Eve came, no less than ten young girls Shi Shiran had come to ask around him.

The last time he was surrounded like this...was at the airport of the eighteen galaxy.

She had basically zero experience dealing with women on New Year's Eve, and she couldn't get away from the embarrassment. Fortunately, soon, another person came and broke the deadlock.

"Your Majesty, to—"

All of a sudden, countless people present turned their attention to the entrance of Qionglin Garden.

Yao Chonghua walked in with a smile on his face, wearing the Pope's tiara.

His attire today was particularly formal. Not only did he put on the pope's robe, but he also wore the golden scepter of the pope.It's so dazzling that you can't take your eyes off it.

Yao Chonghua went up the stairs, waved and smiled at the disciples who saluted him, and said, "There's no need to be too polite."

Most people in the empire believe in religion, but the state religion no longer asks these believers to do anything.Those who salute the Pope at this moment are basically followers of firm faith.

Even in the court, most people don't like the pope.

In Qionglin Garden, many people frowned.With a cold snort in my heart, I turned around.To prove that he is not in the same boat.

New Year's Eve just glanced over there, then looked away.

Maybe people really have a thing called eye karma.

From the first time I saw Yao Chonghua on New Year's Eve, I felt an uncomfortable atmosphere.

But Yao Chonghua was looking at him calmly.

He smiled and talked to the person in front of him, but his eyes went beyond the layers of cover and saw the person in the corner.

Lin New Year's Eve...

Who are you?

Yao Chonghua thanked the invitation, and came to the court alone. He held the Pope's scepter in his hand, and then slowly closed his eyes.

There was darkness in his vision, and suddenly there was light again.

This is a secret technique in the scriptures, it is called Tianyu, and it can glimpse a person's past, present and future.

Because of the high cost of using it, he has only used it once since he took office.

That time, the person he looked at was Yi Yansheng.

This time, the object he looked at was Lin New Year's Eve.

In the line of sight, a giant golden eye suddenly appeared, reflecting a figure, the surroundings of the eyes were covered with black scales, and the dark diamond-shaped pupils became a thin line the moment they noticed Yao Chonghua's line of sight!

Yao Chonghua's eyes suddenly felt a stabbing pain, he opened them, his vision was still pitch black, and two lines of blood flowed slowly from the corners of his eyes.

How can ants be worthy of looking directly at the gods?

The corner of Yao Chonghua's mouth twitched into a smile. He took out a handkerchief, wiped the two blood lines, and murmured: "It turned out to be you. Constantine has disappeared for thousands of years. I didn't expect him to be so weak now. I think it is Someone on the Zerg side had a premonition of your awakening, so that's why they couldn't wait to start the war..."

Sacrifice God with blood.

In the thousands of years of Zerg history, the same god has been enshrined. He is called Constantine in the ancient scriptures.

In the scriptures of the Light God Sect, this is a defeated evil god who was expelled from the temple by the rest of the gods.

So what?

This is not the first time that the ants have dared to kill a god.

At that moment, Yao Chonghua held the scepter tightly, and blood and tears trickled down on his white Pope's robe.

He was almost shaking with excitement.

***

The sky was getting dark, and the palace was lit with lamps, which were as bright as day.

New Year's Eve was finally rescued by Wen Li.

"Give way, my dear sisters, let me ask our chairman to reminisce about the past, to save face?" Wen Li said to people with a smile.

The girls looked at each other in blank dismay, but there was no sign of anything, so they had no choice but to resign reluctantly.

Seeing the crowd dissipate, New Year's Eve was visibly relieved.

"Chairman!" Wen Li had a schadenfreude smile on his face, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. There are things that give you headaches in your lifetime."

"They're all noble girls, so it's not easy to push them away..." New Year's Eve felt a little helpless, "And when one group leaves, another group follows."

"You are sweet and sweet." Wen Li's expression was very teasing, "Your status is noble, you are good-looking, your family background is prominent, and you have a bright future..."

New Year's Eve pursed her lips angrily.

"Okay, okay, I'll stop. Where's Gavin? I heard he's coming too."

New Year's Eve replied: "It's still on the way. His Majesty the Emperor will summon him and personally award him."

Wen Li was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "That's right. Your Majesty always likes to promote young people with no background like this."

His Majesty was still young when he came to the throne, and he was fed up with the anger of the aristocratic family.Since he took control of the government, he has loved such young people all the more.

That's how Song Shaoyu caught his eyes back then.

It was getting dark a little bit.

While chatting with Wen Li, while chatting, New Year's Eve's complexion suddenly changed.

He raised his hand subconsciously, and then covered his chest.

His heart suddenly beat fast.

New Year's Eve suddenly said: "Wen Li...have you smelled it, what is it?"

Wen Li in front of him showed doubts, and then sniffed lightly.

Smell it carefully, and there is indeed a faint fragrance in the air... very special, it is a kind of woody aroma, like the subtle woody fragrance of burnt cedar after being soaked by rain.

This is……?Is there any incense in the attic?

But Wen Li had been to the palace many times, and it wasn't the first time he had entered Qionglin Garden.It was the first time I tasted such a peculiar smell.

"It's a little bit. Maybe there are spice trees planted in the palace?" Wen Li said uncertainly.

Spice tree?How could it be a spice tree?

This... This is obviously the smell of blood?

Just as he was about to speak, a dragon's chant suddenly sounded in his ears, which made his eardrums ache.

No, that wasn't a dragon chant, it was clearly an extremely suppressed howl.

It, or they, clearly said - [Go! ]

The golden totem on the back of the neck on New Year's Eve seemed to come alive!Like flowing spring water, it spread to all directions of the body within a few seconds.

He suddenly froze in place.

Wen Li turned his head, his tone suddenly became puzzled: "Chairman?... What's wrong with you?"

New Year's Eve suddenly bent down, panting violently.

A drop of sweat dripped down his chin to the ground.

Even when he was in the military academy, Wen Li had never seen him so embarrassed on New Year's Eve.

"I'm fine... I..." New Year's Eve grabbed his collar in pain, pulled open the neckline as if he couldn't breathe, "Give... Gavin, send a message, let him... come , come pick me up!"

At this moment on New Year's Eve, I desperately want to see him.

When people are most helpless, they will always subconsciously look for the harbor that makes them feel safe.

Gavin is his haven.

Wen Li took a step forward, raised his arm, and wanted to go to help him, his tone extremely worried, "What's wrong with you? Do you want me to take you to the infirmary?!"

However, his arm hadn't reached New Year's Eve yet, but was slapped away by New Year's Eve without hesitation.

"Snapped!"

The sound of clapping his hands was very crisp.Wen Li was a little stunned by this blow.

Although I didn't like to socialize when I was in the military academy on New Year's Eve, I always treated people politely.Such rude behavior is rare.

What's more...Wen Li thought they were still friends?

New Year's Eve raised his head, his expression was undisguisedly violent, his golden eyes were so pale that they were almost transparent, and he uttered three words hoarsely: "Don't come here."

After saying this, New Year's Eve turned around and left. His walking pace was a little staggering, but his speed was surprisingly fast.

Wen Li raised his leg and wanted to follow, but stopped abruptly.

New Year's Eve said, don't follow.

That tone, that look... It was clearly warning him.

Wen Li hesitated for a while, then found Gavin's contact information from the newsletter, and edited the text message.

***

Head down on New Year's Eve, avoiding the crowd and galloping all the way.

In a short while, the exit of Qionglin Garden is ahead.

However, it was brightly lit, and there were people coming and going everywhere.There are also some accompanying reporters who are taking pictures of this Vanity Fair with relish.

New Year's Eve stopped abruptly, then turned around.

He was about to sneak out from where the guards were weak.

Go find... find Gavin.

On New Year's Eve, my mind was dizzy and I hurried forward.

A person bumped into him unexpectedly.

The person who bumped into him was a princess, and someone told him that Lieutenant Lin would come from this side of the road.

The princess waited here for a long time, and finally someone came.

"Lieutenant Lin," the charming Xunyang Princess said, standing in front of him, "I'm Xunyang. I heard that you just came down from the battlefield. Can I invite you to dance at the party? I I have always admired you, and I want to hear you talk about the battlefield..."

The person opposite lowered his head slightly, his long hair covered his eyebrows and eyes, and said nothing.

Xun Yang took two steps forward, moved his face closer, and said with a sweet smile, "Lieutenant Lin? Why don't you speak."

After finishing speaking, her hand was about to touch New Year's Eve's shoulder.

Unable to hold back on New Year's Eve, he waved his arm and yelled angrily: "Get out!"

An incomparably dazzling golden light exploded at the noble lady's feet, forcibly creating a gap between the two of them.

The Princess' face was shocked, and she looked at New Year's Eve in disbelief.It seems that he didn't expect to be treated like this.

She was also a noble girl who grew up pampered and pampered. Soon, Princess Xunyang reacted, and her complexion changed immediately, ready to reprimand him.

However, the moment she saw New Year's Eve's face clearly, Princess Xunyang suddenly lost her voice.

Strange golden lines spread across New Year's Eve's face, and when the princess looked at him, several pitch-black scales were breaking through the ground on both sides of his cheeks.

The hard scales poked open the skin, and strands of golden blood dripped down the sides of New Year's Eve's cheeks.

People... How do people grow scales?unless--

A thought suddenly flashed through the mind of Princess Xunyang: Lin New Year's Eve is not human.

If it's not a human, then it's... the Zerg?

New Year's Eve's extremely cold eyes fell on her face, and then slowly walked towards her.

...he was going to kill me.

Princess Xunyang took a few steps back, her mind went blank, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, her voice trembling, "Lin, Lieutenant Lin, I swear, I won't say anything... Please... Please!"

The person opposite looked at her with deep eyes.

At this moment, a layer of black scales suddenly appeared on the back of his hand, and he let out a muffled snort, but he didn't stop.

...that's not human gaze at all.

The master of Xunyang County was crying, his legs softened, and he knelt on the ground.Let the dirt stain her gorgeous robes.

New Year's Eve stood in front of her, squatted down, and held her slender neck.

"You said you loved me." Constantine stared at her face, his golden pupils almost formed a vertical line, he whispered, "How about dying for me?"

Princess Xunyang shook her head palely, and said in a trembling voice, "Please... I am my father's only daughter, and he, he is still waiting for me at home."

I don't know which word touched him, New Year's Eve's expression suddenly changed, and then he slowly withdrew his hand and stood up.

Almost at the moment when he recited it, Princess Xunyang opened her mouth without thinking——

However, before she could speak, her neck suddenly felt cold.

The New Year's Eve sword cut her throat without hesitation.

A gurgling of hot liquid emerged from her neck, Xun Yang's expression was extremely painful, but he couldn't speak a word hoarsely.

Constantine looked down at her with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Look at you," he said to himself.

New Year's Eve was taken aback, then took out gloves from his pocket and put them on, covering the black scales on his hands.

He continued to walk forward without looking back, until he was sure that there was no one around, then he slowly leaned against the wall and took out his mobile phone.

He opened it and saw that there were already several missed calls.It's all Gavin's.

Before I called back on New Year's Eve, a new call came.

Trembling and awkwardly, he pressed the on button with his fingertips, and his nails became sharp and long, almost poking the screen directly.

Gavin's anxious voice came from the phone, "New Year's Eve?! I received a message from Wen Li, where are you now?"

The moment I heard his voice, tears came down on New Year's Eve.

"Papa...I..." New Year's Eve was so choked up that he couldn't speak, but suppressed the trembling in his voice, "I'm fine. You don't need to come here."

Don't come here, and don't come to me.

He doesn't want to burden him.

The person opposite was silent for a while, then hung up the phone directly.

Since he didn't want to talk about it on New Year's Eve, he went to find it himself.will always find it.

On New Year's Eve, he suddenly covered his face, letting hot tears overflow from his fingers.
