The old general had been serious and old-fashioned for most of his life. The enemies were terrified when they heard his name. Although his children were not as frightened when they saw him, they were almost the same.
But facing a nightmare, what can he do?
The old general glared at him, "Don't think that just because you're a nightmare, I can't cure you."
Fang Shan: "Beating is love, scolding is care."
After saying that, she leaned close to Wei Sushen in fear: "He teased me."
This causal equation is perfect.
Wei Sushen glanced at the old general, frowned, and looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Afraid that he would be mad to death if they continued to spend time together, the old general pointed in the direction of the door.
In the blink of an eye, Wei Sushen and Fang Shan disappeared.
The old general sat back in his chair and rubbed his brows. Although he didn't want to admit it, for a moment just now... he missed the day when Mo Xiu failed to awaken.
After a long while, I suddenly realized that I had not explained the thing I should have explained.
He clapped his hands, and a guard came out from outside the door: "Your orders."
The old general said: "Go and call the most useless person in the family."
The guard bowed and withdrew, quickly carrying a local dog. Lai Fu was a cheerful person, and even when being held, he was restless and kept trying to jump out.
"Woof! Woof!"
The old general's face turned pale as he said, "Go and call the young master over."
The guard shuddered, then realized that he had misunderstood.
After a while, Wei Sushen appeared in front of the old general again.
Fang Shan still clung to Wei Sushen like a boneless person, smiling at him and saying, "Long time no see."
The last two words were drowned out by the barking of dogs. Fang Shan noticed a lively local dog on the ground. He tried calling out "Lai Fu" twice. The dog ran to his feet and frolicked.
Fang Shan secretly raised his eyebrows. Dogs have a very short lifespan. Lai Fu had been mentioned unintentionally before. According to Mo Xiu's age, it must have stayed in the Mo family for at least more than ten years, yet this dog still looked very young... Fang Shan found it very interesting and bent down. The local dog actually took the initiative to put its paw in his hand and let him play with it.
The old general immediately noticed Fang Shan's confusion and said, "Dogs have relatively high intelligence and loyalty among animals. When my father was still alive, the empire once wanted to cultivate a team of exotic beasts."
Fang Shan looked at the familiar dog that was feeling very comfortable being pinched by him, and knew without thinking that the plan had failed.
"It turns out that unless special drugs are used to drive them into a frenzy, it's difficult to inspire their true bloodiness," the old general said. "So the plan was shelved."
Fang Shan rarely felt a little admiration. An experiment required a huge investment of manpower and financial capital. It was not easy to decisively abandon it instead of continuing to develop the berserker drug.
As if he could see what he was thinking, the old general said calmly, "There are certain bottom lines that cannot be crossed. Otherwise, what's the difference between us and those evil demons from outside the domain?"
After a pause, he continued, "This is also the reason why I called you here."
Fang Shan quickly replied, "I will definitely stick to the bottom line and not cross the line." He then added, "But the boundaries of love are unclear."
The old general's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Wei Sushen, his eyes speaking clearly... Shut up your nightmare.
Fang Shan wisely covered his mouth with his hands and promised not to interrupt again.
"Evil demons are punishable by all. To them, we are enemies as well." The old general said, gazing at Wei Sushen. "Those who have awakened A-level and S-level qualifications will be on their hunting list, especially the latter."
Fang Shan couldn't help but speak again, exclaiming, "Then I'm in great danger!"
He turned to look at the old general with expectation: "Do you think I need someone to protect me personally?"
"You are a nightmare!" The old general gritted his teeth and emphasized his identity.
Since ancient times, nightmares have grown up in battle, so how could they actively ask to be protected!
Seeing his solemn expression, I knew it really wouldn't work, so I had to give up with regret.
The old general suddenly fell silent.
Fang Shan was about to speak when he glared at her: "Don't talk! You interrupted me and I forgot what I was talking about."
Wei Sushen sighed, poured a cup of tea to the old general, and asked him to drink it to calm down.
"It's normal to forget things when you get older. Don't take it too seriously."
He spat out a mouthful of tea.
He threw a piece of information in their faces and ruthlessly drove them away again. The old general held Lai Fu in his arms and felt that he liked this restless little dog better than his own grandson.
The design of the Mo Mansion is not as luxurious as a royal palace, but it is also very attractive.
Fang Shan glanced around and made sure that there was no one around. She found a big rock and jumped onto it, sitting cross-legged. Her ladylike image was completely ruined.
In the past two days, all he saw were the artificial scenes deliberately created by the system. Wei Sushen felt that the current free and easy look was more pleasing to the eye.
Fang Shan patted the person next to him, motioning him to come sit over. Wei Sushen jumped up and unfolded the piece of paper the old general had thrown at him. To put it bluntly, it was a wanted poster, containing information about an evil demon.
Lin Cheng, male.
Age: 15-25
Crime: Successfully assassinated one A-level student and ten B-level students.
Good at disguise and tracking.
The top image on the wanted poster only shows the hairstyle; the face is blank.
Fang Shan was silent for a few seconds after reading it. "This is the first time I've seen ages recorded in intervals on a wanted poster."
It was so much so that he even forgot to complain about this avatar which was better than nothing.
Wei Sushen took another look at the information. Although the records were not detailed at all, they could better reflect how powerful this person was.
Fang Shan: "Geniuses before they grow up are the easiest to kill. The host is very likely to become his primary target."
Wei Sushen put away the information: "I'm just worried he won't come."
There is no reason to push away the honor that comes to your door.
It's cloudy today, so it gets dark earlier.
Fang Shan knew that there were guests coming that evening. As he walked towards the hall, he saw a visitor. The other person's expression did not seem to be in for a good show, but rather a bitter face.
Fang Shan pulled Wei Sushen and ran quickly from the alley to the hall, entering before the guests arrived.
The old general was still sitting in the main seat. He no longer showed the emotional ups and downs he had in the afternoon. He sat there with the illusion of being as still as a mountain.
Fang Shan: "Have they already known about the awakening?"
The old general nodded slightly. "Calculating the time, it's more than enough for the news to spread from the Imperial Academy to each family."
Fang Shan then thought of the classmates who had been cheated, and couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Everyone knows it, so there is no need to perform.
The old general's eyes were half closed, but his mind was as clear as a mirror: "No need to make any changes."
Fang Shan raised his eyebrows. Was he going to continue the drama of the rise of the summoned trash?
The old general said, "So what if they received the news? They didn't want to come in the first place. Their mistake was not sending the visiting card so early."
Fang Shan: "Since you know it all, why bother going through the motions again?"
The old general curled his lips but did not answer.
ยท
The guests were all high-ranking officials and nobles, dressed in luxurious clothes, and the dark hall seemed to be illuminated with a luster. The mansion had made great preparations, and at least the food was unusually exquisite.
After a few polite words, the old general ordered his men: "Go and dig out my treasured bottle of apricot blossom wine."
"No need to be so polite." Someone stood up and said, "We'll just sit for a while and then leave."
Wei Sushen searched his memory and realized the person who was speaking was of high rank, a trusted confidant of the emperor. He advocated peace rather than war, so naturally, he was at odds with the Mo family over the situation.
The old general raised his hand and said, "Be patient. It's so rare for us to get together, so I won't leave until I'm drunk tonight."
The man's smile was a little forced. After receiving the news from his grandson, he knew that tonight would be a Hongmen Banquet.
"I have some good news to share with you." The old general patted the chair lightly, and Fang Shan cooperated and appeared under everyone's attention.
Everyone knew it a long time ago, but the old general coughed and pretended to be very surprised.
Especially the one who first opened his mouth to leave, he moved his lips and tried to open his mouth wide under the gaze of the old general, but the other party was still not satisfied and narrowed his eyes.
The man secretly hated it and cleared his throat: "Wow!"
Following this exclamation, everyone began to ask Mo Xiu how he had managed to summon it successfully, and began to praise him for a period that lasted for an incense stick of time.
Fang Shan finally understood the old general's thoughts. With Wei Sushen's successful summons, the Mo family was bound to rise in power. When the family was at its peak, no one wanted to be the first to get into trouble.
The old general's intention is very clear... Since he likes to watch a good show so much, he might as well watch it all at once.
Not only do you have to watch, you also have to cooperate with the performance!
Fang Shan sighed: It turns out that old ginger is still wise!
I have to say, seeing these powerful people trying to maintain a fake smile gives me a different kind of pleasure.
Wei Sushen's eyes lit up slightly and he began to summarize. In comparison, the face-slapping methods they used before were too simple and crude. Sometimes a roundabout approach might have unexpected results.
Fang Shan smelled a conspiracy, looked around, and when he found that the source was his host, he no longer took it to heart.
After his throat was dry, the visitor took a sip of wine and began to observe the old general's expression, wondering whether he should ask to leave.
The old general put away the joking expression on his face and his expression suddenly became serious: "There is one more thing I want to remind you all."
The atmosphere changed, and those who were close to each other looked at each other and frowned.
"According to the information I received, there may be evil demons that have infiltrated the Imperial Academy."
"Impossible." Someone retorted subconsciously.
Imperial College has strict requirements for admissions, and everyone's identity and background are clearly checked.
Fang Shan, who had been listening in, suddenly spoke up, "Isn't there someone who's good at disguise? If he killed a member of a certain family and sneaked into the Imperial Academy, he probably wouldn't be easily discovered."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed.
The old general glanced at him and gave him a rare affirmative response: "The Imperial Academy's death toll in previous years was approximately ten per year. This year, only halfway through, nearly eight students have already died in missions."
The students in the college are selected from thousands of people. It is indeed abnormal that the mortality rate is so high in the middle of the year.
Although these people have different political views on a daily basis, they still unite against the outside world at critical moments.
"It's too difficult to screen everyone one by one." The speaker was a middle-aged man who had been silent since he came in.
The most important thing is that it can easily make people feel unstable.
The old general glanced at Wei Sushen and said, "With bait, we don't have to worry about the other party not taking the bait."
Everyone shook their heads. Although they were reluctant to sacrifice the child to catch the wolf, he was their grandson after all. To throw him away so easily was truly cold-blooded.
The old general sneered at their expressions... What do these idiots know? Judging from Mo Xiu's ability to make people angry to death, it can't be considered as a thrown bait, it's clearly a tiger entering the forest!
The author has something to say: "A tiger enters the forest" is a nice way of saying it, but it should be said that disaster enters the world.
