The Si family residence had changed from being deserted a while ago to being extremely lively.
A group of people crowded into the yard, their smiles on their faces were like blooming flowers, very brilliant.
Except for the people of the Li family who were too embarrassed to come to the scene, those who had once joined forces with the Li family to deal with the Si family, ran over one by one with thick skins and shameless faces, and their attitudes were so humble and respectful. They could hardly stand up straight, and kept bowing and apologizing, saying "We did something wrong" and "You can ask us to do anything", which made the Si family's side relatives who were originally holding their airs and preparing to use their relatives' status to control the Si family stunned and became more and more flustered.
How could they have imagined that the Si family could turn things around overnight with the help of medicine after facing such a desperate situation.
After Si Qi, the heir of the Si family, became paralyzed, he had to sell his body and flirt with the prince to save the family. They also felt that the analysis of the people sent by the Li family was correct, and they could not continue to be drowned with the sinking ship of the Si family, so they came with the contract to stop the loss in time and completely cut off their relationship with the Si family.
How could they have thought that although the loss was stopped, they did not get any advantage at all!
It was only an hour in total. If they had delayed it for another hour, they could have also shared in the current prosperity of the Si family!
The damn Li family is simply trying to kill them! !
"Uncle, uncle, please forgive your nephew. Your nephew was deceived and said such nonsense!"
"What's the contract? Only blood relationship is the most important. Are you really going to watch us and ignore us like this?"
"Look, this is your favorite granddaughter. She is one year old today. Didn't you say that you must hold a banquet for her and give her a red envelope for her first birthday? Come out and take a look at her!" The Si
family branch shouted hysterically, and the regretful look attracted the attention of the visitors around.
Except for a few people who were not informed of the news, everyone else looked at the group of people with mocking eyes, and they were so happy in their hearts.
Seeing that no one from the Si family came out to greet this group of "relatives" and let them make trouble here, the onlookers knew the attitude of the head of the Si family towards this group of people. They immediately stood up and vented their anger on behalf of the father and son of the Si family, and shouted sarcastically: "Hey, isn't this the branch that couldn't wait to cut ties with the Si family when it saw the Si family in trouble? Why did they suddenly come to the door to try to establish a relationship when they saw the Si family launched a dispelling agent? It's really hilarious!"
"I heard that when the head of the Si family was in the most difficult time, this group of people came over and made a big fuss, clamoring to sever ties with the Si family and never use the Si family's name to flatter themselves. It hasn't even been a few days and you're regretting it. Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that whether you have any relationship with the Si family depends on whether the Si family has money at the time?"
"It's really terrible that the head of the Si family has relatives like you! When he has money, he can't get rid of it. When he's in trouble, others don't do anything, but you all rush over to stab him. Oh, I feel sorry for the head of the Si family!"
"I can't stand this despicable thing!"
"You, you——!" The Si family was ridiculed and their faces turned red. They stamped their feet in anger, shouting "Nonsense" and "What's it to you?" and shouted at the door of the Si family, "Are you just going to watch us being insulted by this group of people? We are your blood relatives! Do you have any conscience?" Because of these remarks, they were laughed at by the people around them even more wantonly. In the end, they were too embarrassed to stay here any longer, so they ran away in shame with their tails between their legs and their faces covered.
After leaving, they became more and more angry and began to look for the reason, pointing at the few people who had shouted the most before, and resented that it was because they kept saying that they should quickly sever ties with the Si family and stop the losses in time, which led to everyone falling to this point.
They also said that those people in power had no conscience. The Si family had helped them so much in the past, but why did they jump out and cut off the Si family's financial support as soon as the Si family fell into trouble? If they had a little conscience and were not so eager to turn against the Si family, they would not have watched the Si family become more and more powerful, but could not get any benefits, and instead offended the head of the Si family and Si Qi.
Now the more praises about the Si family are around, the more annoyed they are. In the social circle, there are endless weird voices mocking them for being blind, which is like mental retardation.
Whenever they go out, they will be pointed at by people around them. They are very angry, but they can't say anything. They can only stay indoors all day and watch those relatives who give bad advice wandering around in front of them. A group of people hated each other, quarreling all day long, and there was only smoke and miasma in their lives.
On the Si family side, all the targeting and exclusion disappeared overnight, as if they had never existed before, leaving no trace.
On the contrary, no matter what Si's father wanted to do, he got the green light all the way, and it was very smooth. There were also people who took the initiative to ask many times whether they should teach the Li family a lesson. There was no need for the Si family to do anything. The group of people around them rolled up their sleeves without saying a word, and their attitude was extremely attentive.
However, after hearing this, Si's father never agreed. He had discussed the treatment of the Li family with His Majesty in the conference room long before. His Majesty knew the situation and would solve it for him. He was not in a hurry at all.
Meanwhile, on the Li family side.
"Why didn't you tell me that the paralytic Si had this ability!"
The head of the Li family looked at Sun Ba with a gloomy face, and Sun Ba's face was not much better than his. He kept a cold face and didn't say anything.
"Oh, that's right. If you knew, you wouldn't have torn your face with him at the beginning." The head of the Li family mocked without hesitation, almost hating Sun Ba to death.
It would be fine if the Si family declined early and could never get up again. But when the Li family and the Si family were fighting in the ring until now, almost forcing the Si family to a dead end, the Si family suddenly took out such a powerful weapon, reversed the offensive overnight, and became the savior of the entire empire. How could the Li family attack the Si family? How dare he attack the Si family! Are you afraid that your family will not become the target of public criticism, that those guys who are eager to be courteous to the Si family will join forces to chop it into pieces and give it to the Si family as gifts to please Si Qi?
And all of this was caused by Sun Ba, a brat who kept inciting the Li family behind his back and asking the Li family to unite with other families to deal with the Si family. If the plan could succeed, it would be fine. But now the plan is about to fail. How to deal with this embarrassing situation? They have already offended the Si family badly! And there is no reason for the Si family to forgive them!
Maybe... breaking Sun Ba's legs and throwing him at the door of the Si family, and apologizing to Si Qi, can...
As if sensing the thoughts of the head of the Li family, Sun Ba stared at him with a resentful look and said coldly: "I can know the future, do you think I won't leave a backup plan?"
The head of the Li family was shocked by this look, but his face showed no sign of it. He sneered: "Relying on your half-baked ability of prediction? If your prediction is accurate, Si Qi will have no chance to get up again!"
Sun Ba kept a cold face and said nothing, his eyes looked extremely terrifying.
The head of the Li family looked at him for a few times, thinking that Sun Ba was indeed very evil. It was enough to have Si Qi as a difficult enemy, and there must not be another one, so he did not completely break up with him.
The two of them parted unhappily, and Sun Ba stayed where he was, suppressing his emotions in silence.
In his memory, he had never heard that Marshal Si Qi was good at research. In other words, with his identity in his previous life, he did not even have the qualifications to meet Si Qi, and had no way of knowing or inquiring about the other party.
A month ago, he thought he knew Si Qi very well, and he could play with the boy in his palm and control him at will.
But since the post on the Internet exposed his true face, Si Qi, who had completely turned against him, seemed to have completely changed into a different person, and became extremely unfamiliar. It was not until this moment that he suddenly realized that the control he had once thought of was just a face that Si Qi deliberately gave him. In fact, he did not know Si Qi at all.
Regardless of talent, combat power, and skills, Si Qi was just like the marshal in his previous life, so powerful that people could only look up to him. Who made him a genius who had been talked about since he was a child, and a hero who would close the passage to the other world in the future and solve the biggest trouble since the unification of the empire! And he actually got carried away because he was treated differently by the other party, and thought he was so great... It was ridiculous. The more
Sun Ba thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt. He couldn't help but wipe his face with his hand, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, although Si Qi developed that medicine and became a treasure of the whole empire, his legs are now paralyzed and he can no longer join the army. He certainly can't lead the army to close the passage to the other world in his previous life.
However, he clearly remembered the time and place of the final battle, as well as the appearance of the strange plant that impressed the whole empire... As long as he cut the plant and closed the passage on behalf of Si Qi, he would become the marshal of the empire like Si Qi, the savior of the whole people, loved by thousands of people, and have a glorious life...
Sun Ba thought carefully and finally felt relieved.
It happened that the sound of a flute came from a distance, which was a reminder that a heavy fog had appeared in a certain place and rescue was urgently needed. Sun Ba walked out of the office and saw soldiers who were running towards him to change their equipment. He stopped and asked, "Address?"
"It's A-48 and the two surrounding areas."
"Area A?" Isn't that the core area of the imperial capital, a place only the upper class of the upper class can enter?
Sun Ba didn't want to miss the opportunity to gain favor by saving people, so he asked directly: "Who is the commander of this operation?"
"It's Commander Li."
Sun Ba didn't waste any more words, he just called the other party and said straight to the point: "I'll accept this mission."
The man on the other side was silent for a moment. Maybe he was used to this kind of thing in a place like the Li family where filth and dirt were hidden. He didn't say much, but said in a neutral tone: "I know."
Three minutes later, the team led by Sun Ba quickly left the barracks in a flying vehicle and rushed to the disaster site.
After arriving at the scene, the radar dial on Sun Ba's wrist reminded him in real time which people nearby had sent out distress signals. The signals also marked their locations, the severity of the current situation, etc.
He clicked on one of the signals, indicating that he would go to rescue. The signal immediately popped up a symbol that someone was rushing to the rescue, to avoid the situation where several soldiers went to rescue the same person, wasting multiple times the manpower.
In this way, he went back and forth several times in the fog to rescue people, and received a lot of gratitude. When Sun Ba rescued the seventh person, he suddenly found that the tall and straight young man in a suit and leather shoes looked very familiar. He couldn't help but recall it carefully. He was delighted and smiled after landing: "Is it the son of Zheng Shoufu's family?"
The young man surnamed Zheng stood in place. Even in such a dangerous situation, his demeanor was still calm and composed, without losing any grace. He looked up at the slowly descending soldier, raised his eyebrows, nodded and smiled: "Lieutenant Sun."
Sun Ba laughed and said generously: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
The young man saw the aircraft stopped in front of him, stepped up and said: "Come here to do some private business for your majesty."
"Oh? Private business?" Zheng Shoufu was the emperor's right-hand man and trusted minister. In his previous life, when Sun Ba was 30 years old, the young man in front of him succeeded his father and became the next Prime Minister. He was a real potential stock and a person worth pulling seriously.
The young man nodded and said, "It's not a big deal."
Sun Ba noticed that the other party seemed to want to have a deeper conversation, and his tone became more cordial and cheerful: "Master Zheng is really young and promising. He can serve His Majesty at such a young age. I really envy him."
Hearing this, the young man raised his mouth and smiled. He looked at the flying machine, as if he was very interested in it. He turned around, reached out and touched it, and replied: "Second Lieutenant Sun is serving His Majesty at this moment. All military officers and ministers in this empire must obey His Majesty's orders. We do whatever His Majesty tells us to do; we cannot do anything His Majesty tells us not to do..." Why
did this guy suddenly say this? It was as if he was brainwashed. Sun Ba nodded and agreed casually: "Master Zheng is very perceptive, and what he said is absolutely right!"
But he didn't say anything in his heart.
The current emperor is too kind, and the powerful families are becoming more and more arrogant under his indulgence, which seems to mean that the strong dragon cannot suppress the local snake. By the time he was thirty years old, Si Qi's reputation had clearly surpassed that of the royal family. Everyone only knew who Si Qi was, but not who the emperor was.
This man surnamed Zheng started with these old-fashioned clichés, which seemed a bit too loyal. No wonder he could become the prime minister in the future. The emperor probably preferred to promote this kind of people.
Along the way, he heard him say several times that a minister should abide by his duties. If it weren't for his excellent temperament and generous conversation, which made people feel very comfortable when communicating, he really didn't have the patience to listen to these nonsense.
After sending the person out of the fog area, Sun Ba turned around and left under the other party's faint smile. For some reason, those meaningful eyes kept flashing through his mind. He felt vaguely that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.
The radar reminded him that many distress signals were sent out from a large theater. Sun Ba clicked the button to accept the distress signal, turned around and rushed towards that direction.
But not long after he flew out, the chassis under the aircraft suddenly sank heavily, and Sun Ba's feet were empty and he almost fell off the aircraft.
He quickly stabilized his body and looked down, and saw a vine breaking through the sky and grabbing towards him, entwining the bottom of the aircraft, trying to pull him down.
Sun Ba cursed inwardly, took out his gun and shot at the vines. The hot electromagnetic bullets burned the plants and he regained his freedom.
Just as he solved the problem, a group of giant eagles with red eyes and sharp claws swooped down at him, one claw easily tore through the steel shell of the aircraft, and the hurricane he created almost slapped him down from the sky!
At the critical moment, Sun Ba quickly squatted down with his head in his hands, avoiding the fatal blow. He raised his gun and fired several shots at the monster, then controlled the aircraft to dive down and dive into the building complex.
I don't know if he was just unlucky or if the fog here was really that dangerous. He just dodged the flying monster and fell into the monster group again. Wherever he went, there was a fierce fight.
Hundreds of spectators who were watching the show in the theater hid in the safe house, anxiously checking the time again and again, and said impatiently: "It's been so long, why hasn't anyone come yet!"
"I've urged them several times, and there's no response from there!"
"If they can't come, cancel the rescue and let someone else come, it's really..."
"Ah!!"
A scream rang out from the crowd, and a little girl who was only eleven or twelve years old covered her head and pointed at the monster opposite the window: "It found us!!"
As soon as the words fell, a huge shock like a landslide suddenly accelerated in frequency, and it was getting closer and closer. In the blink of an eye, it overturned the theater supermarket in front and rushed towards the safe house.
"No——"
"Mom!!"
"What are those soldiers doing!!!"
At the moment when everyone was in despair, a man suddenly rushed in from outside and smashed something on the ground, rushing to the critical moment. Emerald
green liquid flowed on the ground, and in the blink of an eye it evaporated into light green mist, and was sent out of the house through the air exchange device. After a while, it merged into the white mist near the safe house.
The monster, who was about to come over for a meal, suddenly stopped.
"Buzz——"
The monster, which was as sturdy as a giant bull, looked like it had seen something extremely terrifying on its fierce face. It turned its head and ran away with a thump, as if it was afraid that it would be slaughtered if it ran too slowly. The people
who were crying and shouting at the scene kept a look of despair on their faces, staring blankly out of the window, their bodies stiff and motionless, as if the pause button had been pressed.
Then, at a certain moment, everyone cried out "Wow".
"I was scared to death!"
"Wuwuwuwu, I thought I was dead..."
"Who threw the repellent just now? Wuwuwuwu, I must thank him!!"
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the young man. They saw that the young man was dressed neatly and smartly. He didn't look impressive but had a distinguished temperament. He stood straight and had clear eyes. He looked like a soldier no matter how they looked at him. He
hurriedly stepped forward to thank them: "Thank you for saving my life."
"Thank you..."
The young man said embarrassedly: "I was too slow and scared you."
"No, no, no, you came at the right time."
A group of people were relieved to have survived the disaster, but someone frowned and asked: "Are you the person who received the rescue signal before?"
The soldier was stunned and shook his head quickly: "No, I'm on leave today and came here to watch a play with my girlfriend. When the white fog came, I was a little worried, so I ran to the school next door to borrow a bottle of repellent..."
Now the repellent has just been put into the production line. The state stipulates that it should be provided to schools, hospitals and other places first. Even the military does not have much.
Seeing so many people trapped in the theater, the soldier thought of taking the risk and ran to the next school to borrow a medicine. Fortunately, he thought of this, otherwise the hundreds of people in front of him would have died.
A group of people survived the disaster. The dignitaries of the empire were grateful to the soldier, but they couldn't help but curse the soldier who received the distress signal but refused to come. Their faces were full of resentment: "It's better not to let me know who he is!"
The soldier wondered: "Is there no response from that side?"
"No!"
"No matter how we urged him, he didn't come, and he didn't transfer the rescue authority to others!"
The soldier felt a little strange after listening to the description, so he took out his mobile phone, opened his communication channel according to the soldier number of the person who received the rescue signal, and wanted to ask what was going on.
As a result, as soon as the call was connected, the other party was talking to someone, and the voice came out through the speaker, with a tone full of hysterical resentment: "Come and save me immediately! There are more than ten monsters here and they are besieging me!!!"
One soldier was so angry that he retorted to Sun Ba: "We need to save the people around us!"
"I am your commander!! Follow my orders!" Sun Ba's tone was so vicious that it made people shudder: "You want to disobey my orders and escape from the battle, do you want me to send you to a military court?!"
The soldiers on the other end of the channel fell silent for a while, while the people on this side of the channel were all shaking with anger. They snatched the phone and cursed: "What kind of commander are you! Tell me your name! I am the former elder of the Central xx Pavilion. I want to see who dares to show off his power in front of me!!"
After the words fell, the people who couldn't hold back also rushed over, their faces were ashen and they shouted angrily: "I am xx mother, my son is such a high official but he is not as arrogant as you!"
"Tell me your team number!"
"Are you here to save people or to drag us down? If it weren't for the medicine invented by Si Qi that saved us, we would have all been killed by you!!"
"My father is a general. He said that the safety and lives of the people should always be the top priority! You soldiers, don't listen to this guy, go save people quickly!!"
The voices of outsiders burst out in the channel, which made all the soldiers stunned. Sun Ba's face froze and he felt like he fell into an ice cave.
- It's over! !
The author has something to say:
Thank you for the mines of the blue sea!
