The chain array device was broken. Although Yuan Jiaqing was shocked, she had no intention of giving up. Only one layer of her defense was broken.
"Enough, Zhongli Tingzhou, don't go too far!" Yuan Shuzhi shot his cold and angry eyes straight at Zhongli Tingzhou.
He knew very well that Yuan Jiaqing was no match for Zhongli Tingzhou, but it was impossible for her to admit defeat, and the end result would be that she would get injured.
The corner of Zhongli Tingzhou's mouth curled up, he looked evil and crazy, but he was ruthless and even crueler.
In terms of actual combat ability, Yuan Jiaqing was not even as good as Tang Yuxi. She actually thought she could hold on a little longer and her chest was almost collapsed.
"I wanted to be gentler, but since you think I went too far, I'll go even further. That way I can live up to your expectations."
After beating up the younger generation of his family, Zhongli Tingzhou deliberately provoked him in front of Yuan Shuzhi.
Everyone couldn't help but look sideways. Is this really the Zhongli Tingzhou who is usually devoted to cultivation and uninterested in everything?
Yuan Shuzhi's face immediately turned gloomy. How could he tolerate being provoked in person by a hostile family? He was about to walk over immediately.
"Yuan Shuzhi, what are you doing? Are you going to fight with my brother in front of me?" How could Zhong Lihe just watch Yuan Shuzhi "bully" his brother.
"So what if he hits Jia Qing? He dares to hurt her. Doesn't that mean I, as her elder, can't stand up for her?" Yuan Shuzhi counterattacked with a sullen face.
"Haha, you have the nerve to do this. Yuan Jiaqing teamed up with Tang Yuxi to deal with my brother's friends. Why didn't you say anything?" Zhong Lihe said sarcastically, "Oh, I forgot, it seems that you were the ones who instigated this matter. You did these despicable things and still want to get a piece of the pie. You really want to do that!"
"What do you mean by a share of the pie?" Zhongli Tingzhou put away his spiritual weapon and walked over with a calm expression, but there was an imperceptible trace of blood in his eyes.
"It's because they slandered the Silver Lizard for being on Gao Han's body. But when they couldn't find it, they just stayed here shamelessly." Because of his own brother, Zhong Lihe mocked outsiders in front of him and did not restrain himself.
"There is neither the silver-essence lizard nor the spiritual stone mine. You can leave." Zhongli Tingzhou had a tough attitude and a cold and intimidating aura.
Yuan Shu knew it and became angry.
"Yes, you can go now. You are not welcome here." General Shen walked over with his hands behind his back, his majestic face also containing a hint of anger.
Captain Li immediately reported what happened after they left. Yuan Shuzhi and Tang Shihong were afraid of offending him, so they did not dare to be cruel to his soldiers. Otherwise, he would have fought with the two of them like Zhongli Tingzhou did, but this did not mean that he would let them go.
Seeing Yuan Shuzhi and Tang Shihong's faces gloomy, General Shen laughed sarcastically, "Why, do you want to stay and serve as a whetstone for me?"
"Let's go!" Yuan Shuzhi knew very well that he could not get any benefit from Shen Hongcheng, so he let out a roar as if to vent his anger, turned around and left.
Yuan Jiaqing followed him silently, but as he walked forward, the cold light in his eyes seemed to glance in the direction where Gao Han was standing.
Gao Han immediately felt it. In addition to the strong murderous intent in this look, there was also a determination as hard as a rock, as if she had made some profound decision today.
Yuan Shu knew that he had compromised, and Tang Shihong also knew that the Tang family was no longer welcome, so he had to leave.
In fact, he felt very regretful in his heart. He should not have cooperated with the Yuan family earlier. Now, he had offended them, and the Tang family might not get a share of the Lingyun Stone mine.
No one believed what General Shen and Zhongli Tingzhou said. There really was no Lingyun Stone mine.
…
"Do you believe that there is no Lingyun Stone mine?" The Demon Spirit Organization, which had been hiding in the dark and observing, was very glad that they did not take action when the Yuan family and the Tang family were holding people back. Other forces appeared one after another, as if they had made an appointment long ago.
If they had really shown up at that time, they would have been trapped by now.
Sun Wangkun couldn't help but shudder. If it weren't for Xu Maojun, he might really take advantage of the situation and become their meal.
"Only a three-year-old would believe what Shen Hongcheng said, but now that they have joined forces, I'm afraid we have no chance."
"If there is no opportunity, then we can create one ourselves. Shen Hongcheng must have left before to look for the Lingyun Stone Mine. The Silver Lizard might have fallen into their hands. We can only wait for them to send people to the Lingyun Stone mine and send people to keep a close eye on it." Xu Maojun shook his head. If they were a step late, they would lose everything. They would have a hard time explaining themselves when they go back.
Sun Wangkun thought more than Xu Maojun. His wife had not been found yet, and the silver lizard had not been found either. Now he could only make up for his sins by gaining merits and finding out the location of the Lingyun Stone Mine as soon as possible.
…
Zhongli Tingzhou did not participate in the conversation between General Shen and Zhongli He and his group. Although his seniority was enough to be on an equal footing with them, he was of the same age as Sima Yi and the others.
However, this also means that he is of a higher generation than Sima Yi and the others. Fortunately, they don't care much about seniority and only interact with each other as peers. Otherwise, it would be awkward if they had to call Zhongli Uncle when they meet.
"You went to find Yuan Jiaqing and Tang Yuxi as soon as you came back?" Gao Han waited until he walked in front of him before asking.
"Who dared to attack you? It's obvious that they don't take your boyfriend seriously." There was still a trace of hostility in Zhongli Tingzhou's eyes.
Gao Han was quite touching. It would have been more perfect if he removed the last sentence.
"Don't worry about them. Once I become stronger, I will deal with them sooner or later."
"You want to solve it yourself?" Zhongli Tingzhou was a little dissatisfied, "Then what should I do?"
"What are you going to do?" Gao Han couldn't follow his train of thought.
Zhongli Tingzhou said: "If you don't let me show up, how can I show my boyfriend power?"
Gao Han: "...as long as you stay quiet, you can show your boyfriend power."
"Are you kidding me?" Zhongli Tingzhou said seriously.
"No, do you need to coax me into doing this? If someone bullies you, don't you want to retaliate yourself?"
"Why should I retaliate myself? If someone bullies me and you want to help me get revenge, I will definitely not refuse." Zhongli Tingzhou looked expectant.
Gao Han's mouth twitched. He didn't think anyone could bully him. "Don't make trouble. Even if I want to help you, you can't beat someone you can't beat. How can I beat him?"
Zhongli Tingzhou was not so easily fooled by him. "This is different. This is a question of attitude. For example, if a small follower jumps out and scolds me, and his words are very unpleasant, won't you help me scold him back?"
Gao Han tried to imagine it, but he couldn't imagine what kind of minion would be so annoying as to jump out and curse him. "Okay, I'll curse back for you."
He felt that if he denied it, Zhongli Tingzhou would definitely keep making trouble again, so he simply agreed.
Zhongli Tingzhou was indeed satisfied.
"By the way, there is something I want you to tell General Shen. When Zhang Fantao, He Guang and I were ambushed by Yuan Jiaqing and Tang Yuxi, they showed up at such a coincidence that someone must have tipped us off. I suspect someone in the barracks leaked our information to the Yuan and Tang families."
"Okay, I'll find a time to talk to General Shen," Zhongli Tingzhou nodded, "Captain Wang is the biggest suspect. He has always disliked you. Who wouldn't betray you? Why did he betray your position? It's obviously a personal grudge."
"I think so too." Gao Han did not deny it. The reason he didn't say it before was because he had no evidence.
When he found out that someone had betrayed them, the first person he thought of was Battalion Commander Wang. He and the Corps had a conflict of interest only with Battalion Commander Wang.
However, this is General Shen's legion after all. It is not good for an outsider like him to arbitrarily suspect a battalion commander without any evidence. What's more, Battalion Commander Wang had expressed dissatisfaction with him before. If he said it directly, some people might suspect that he was taking revenge on his own. So it would be better to let Zhongli Tingzhou speak on this matter.
After agreeing, Zhongli Tingzhou went straight to find General Shen and told him about the matter in front of Captain Li and others.
"I have heard about this matter from Zhang Fantao and He Guang, and have ordered a thorough investigation. If he really did do it, he will be severely punished." Captain Li spoke after a period of silence.
Zhongli Tingzhou was able to injure Tang Yuxi and Yuan Yaonu for Gao Han, so he will definitely not easily let go of the person who put Gao Han in danger.
"I'm glad that Captain Li hasn't forgotten. You guys continue to discuss it." Zhongli Tingzhou just came here to talk about this matter and left after he finished speaking.
"Let's continue." General Shen spoke. He did not express his opinion, but his silence meant that he tacitly agreed with Captain Li's approach.
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the Lingyun Stone Mine. They denied it verbally, but that was just to disgust the Yuan and Tang families. In fact, the location of the Lingyun Stone Mine had been found out, and the next step was to discuss how to distribute it.
Zhongli Tingzhou has already taken away 30%, 10% for Gao Han, 20% for Zhongli's family, and the rest will be divided between the military and Penglai University.
The forces divided this time were relatively small, so everyone ended up getting a portion that they were satisfied with.
The training for the lower grades of Penglai University also came to an end.
The next thing is mining. The military does not want to cause any trouble and plans to dig out the Lingyun Stone Mine as soon as possible. No one else has any objection.
Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou left together, and General Shen came to find them before they left.
"We've already investigated Wang Xinyuan's case, and it's confirmed that he was the one who leaked the information to the Yuan family." General Shen did not explain the reason.
Gao Han knew that General Shen would deal with the other party, and he could probably guess that Wang Xinyuan's ability to contact the Yuan family was obviously not a sudden idea, but an internal problem of theirs. Therefore, he just expressed his belief that they would handle it well and did not pursue the issue any further.
"General, after Wang Xinyuan left, there is just one extra position left," Captain Li said suggestively.
A young weapon master as talented as Gao Han still has a lot of room for growth in the future. It would be a pity not to recruit him.
"Then you just have to work harder. Although I don't think he is someone who likes to be bound, without hard work, there will be no results." General Shen smiled. Gao Han is a good person. He is cold, but he has a good heart.
"I'll try my best."
