The lieutenant was slightly taken aback, then understood what he meant.
Lu Hongbing turned his gaze to his deputy general: "They were always in charge of writing before. In peacetime, they looked down on us roughnecks who only knew how to fight."
But things are different now. Now, power is determined by force. Although Old Gu's troops are fewer than ours, they are not to be underestimated. As long as they don't do anything too outrageous, we'll turn a blind eye.
The lieutenant nodded slightly: "You've been working for thirty-six hours straight without closing your eyes. If you keep going like this, your health will collapse sooner or later. Go and rest for a bit, even if it's just for half an hour."
Lu Hongbing's eyes were bloodshot. He pinched the bridge of his nose hard and said to him, "Okay, I'm going to take a nap, but call me immediately if anything happens."
Furthermore, send people to search the capital for anything that could be used to sow discord. If anything unusual is found, kill them on sight; do not capture them alive.
"Okay, okay, go to your office and take a nap."
Back in his office, Lu Hongbing didn't rest immediately. He took out a bottle of seemingly ordinary purified water from his bag, drank a few sips, and then rested on his desk.

Ye Ling forcibly sent everyone to the space to rest, except for her eldest brother.
Third Brother and the others didn't want to leave her outside alone, but she wasn't sleepy, and going into the space would be a waste of time.
However, this reason was opposed by everyone, and in the end, it was the eldest brother, Ye Jingyan, who stayed to accompany her, while the rest of them went into the space to rest.
She had already emptied the Ye family's base, leaving only empty houses. She felt there was no need to continue guarding the place, so she took out an SUV and a backpack from her spatial storage and drove away with her older brother.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Ye Ling said to Ye Jingyan, "Brother, let's go check out the nearest neighborhood first. I sense a very evil and despairing aura there. After we've dealt with that, we'll go to the ancient tomb."
"good."
He didn't ask any more questions, but instead turned the steering wheel and drove towards the distant residential area.

Song Jie hid in the old-fashioned wardrobe, covering her mouth tightly to avoid making a sound, but the chewing and screaming sounds outside made her tremble uncontrollably.
This is her rented apartment. The screams outside are from her female roommate, and her boyfriend is also screaming, trying to embolden himself.
Song Jie returned from the shelter yesterday morning. Her classmate didn't want to come back, saying that although the shelter was messy, dirty, and smelly, at least there were many people there, so they wouldn't be eaten by those monsters.
But Song Jie was determined to come back, simply because she, a single woman, was being targeted by more than a dozen men. Some of them groped her with their eyes, while others physically assaulted her. Every time she resisted fiercely, she would be beaten.
She understood that her classmate and her boyfriend didn't dare to stand up for her, since protecting oneself is a normal thing to do during special times, so she came back on her own.
I thought there wouldn't be many people in this neighborhood, but I was surprised to find that quite a few people had run back from the shelter.
She spent yesterday afternoon with an elderly couple and a mother and son.
When she was about to return in the evening, her aunt suggested that everyone stay together that night so they could look after each other, since the situation was fraught with danger and no one knew what kind of monster might suddenly appear and devour them.
Song Jie now feels instinctively afraid of men, even though the uncle looks very old, and even though the boy is only fifteen or sixteen years old. She is still afraid of contact with the opposite sex, so she is determined to come back.
At night, she would hide in the closet. Although it was uncomfortable to be cooped up there, she felt safer that way.
She vaguely heard voices and the sound of a door being pushed open, which terrified her. Upon closer listening, she realized that her classmate and her boyfriend had returned.
The two of them shamelessly took out the food she had collected and ate it. She wanted to go out and stop them, but after hearing her classmate talking to her boyfriend, she was too scared to move.
My classmate's boyfriend said, "After we find your classmate, you're not allowed to interfere. It's her own fault that she's being targeted; who told her to be so pretty and not date anyone?"
