Listening to the man's praise, Zhuge Qing just looked at the man with a faint smile and said, "Ruhua? Is this the magical puppet? Did you train it?"
The ordinary-looking man laughed and scratched his head and said, "How can I have such ability?"
While he was talking, two more identical puppets, Ruhua, turned in from the window and stood behind the man step by step.
Seeing this scene, Zhuge Qing's eyes, which were originally slightly squinted, opened a little at this time, and his eyes trembled slightly, unable to contain his surprise.
After the test just now, he knew very well how sophisticated the puppet in front of him was. It seemed that even the elders of his clan who were proficient in divine mechanics could not easily refine such a puppet.
But judging from the situation in front of us, this so-called flower puppet actually looks like an assembly line product?
The man added: "I have offended Duo just now, but I also followed the leader's instructions and sent Ruhua to test him."
Zhuge Qing said: "Act according to the leader's instructions? Test it out? Who asked you to come?"
The man smiled and said nothing, just dialed a phone number, whispered a few words, and handed it to Zhuge Qing.
On the other end of the phone, a slightly magnetic young man's voice came: "Brother Zhuge, you have been offended a lot just now."
Zhuge Qing chuckled and said, "Sir, I wonder if you are satisfied with the result of my competition with that Ruhua just now?"
The person on the other end of the phone said: "Since he is the genius of the Wuhou family, his strength cannot be overemphasized."
"Let me also introduce myself. I am a village chief. My name is Ma Xianhong. The flower just now is my work. I am also extending an invitation here, asking you to come to Biyou Village as a guest."
Zhuge Qing: "No need, I'm not in the mood to go to some rural farmhouse right now."
Thousands of miles away, in an unknown mountain, a man with long white hair who was walking among the mountain streams stopped, looked at the tinkling spring water, paused and said: "Naturally. It’s not a country farmhouse, and I sincerely invite you, Brother Zhuge, there may be something you are interested in here.”
"For example, I can share the secrets about Ruhua and the more unique divine machine training techniques with you without reservation."
Having said this, Ma Xianhong pursed his lips slightly and stopped speaking. He just stretched out his hand to smooth the long hair on his forehead that covered his eyes.
Zhuge Qing, who was in his hometown in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, couldn't help but dilate his pupils a little when he heard the voice on the other end of the phone. His heart was already moving, but after a brief thought, he still refused and said: "No, I don't feel like it." interest."
Ma Xianhong said: "Okay, since Brother Zhuge has made up his mind, I won't force him anymore."
With that said, he hung up the phone and shrugged, with a look of helplessness on his face.
——
at the same time.
Zhuge Qing listened to the beeping sound coming from the other end of the phone, then looked down at the Ruhua that was torn into pieces, and suddenly felt a little lost.
I thought that I had just met Wang Ye who suddenly came out of nowhere a few days ago. He had seen Wang Ye's ridiculously strong skills and received a severe beating.
As a result, I met another village chief today, who suddenly appeared and had ridiculously powerful weapon refining skills——!
When he thought of this, Zhuge Qing, who had been regarded as a genius by his clan since he was a child, became even more confused. When he recalled the last words of Ma Xianhong, he gritted his teeth and fell into a tangle.
The man on the side, after retrieving the phone, immediately took out an object similar to the size of a chess set, and gently shined it on the broken flower, and a strange wave surged out, turning the pieces that made up the flower into pieces. Sweep away.
The man looked inside the small magic weapon again, and when he saw the flowers placed inside, he smiled at Zhuge Qing and said, "Since you have rejected our leader's invitation, I won't bother you anymore. ”
With that said, he led the two Ruhua who could walk freely behind him towards the window.
Zhuge Qing was left alone, his eyes flickering, and he was shocked again by the second magic weapon that the man just took out. He was surprised that it actually touched the space and could achieve the effect of mustard seeds.
When he thought of this, he finally couldn't help it and said, "Wait a minute, the Lieutenant Emperor of the Han Dynasty still paid three visits to the thatched cottage. Can't your village chief just try to persuade him?"
"Okay, I promise you, I'll go to that Biyou Village to check out the situation."
Zhuge Qing said, still looking arrogant and not at all embarrassed.
The man scratched his head, turned around and smiled: "Okay."
——
at the same time.
After receiving Zhuge Qing's promise to go to Biyou Village, Ma Xianhong raised the corners of his mouth with a smile.
At this time, behind him, there was a sudden sound of footsteps. A sexy-looking woman in a suspender skirt walked over, patted Ma Xianhong's shoulder gently, and whispered: "How's it going?"
The woman had smart pink short ear-length hair, and her voice was even more charming.
Ma Xianhong smiled and said: "Sister, we have already invited Brother Zhuge here. Next, we will have Taoist Master Wang Ye from Wudang Mountain."
The woman nodded and said with a smile: "That's great. This is another step closer to your goal of a perfect body-building furnace."
"Uh-huh."
Ma Xianhong nodded and showed a bright smile to his sister. Then, he turned to wait for the call with Wang Ye later.
——
the other side.
The headquarters is accessible from anywhere in the distant imperial capital.
Although it was already late at night, the lights were brightly lit in a certain conference hall on the upper floor.
Wei saw that the huge oval conference table was filled with people, and their faces looked very solemn.
Zhao Fangxu, who was sitting on the main seat and responsible for presiding over the meeting, was also extremely solemn at this moment.
He looked at the materials in front of him and the color photo of a middle-aged man who died tragically. He sighed and said: "Everyone, I think you have also received the news. Liao Zhong, the person in charge of the South China Region, was killed. His temporary worker Chen Duo was killed."
After hearing this, everyone present remained silent and did not speak immediately. The first person to speak was a middle-aged man with a short hair wearing a black shirt. His face was gloomy and he gritted his teeth and said: "The company's temporary workers are responsible for the district. He was killed, and it was a joke, a big joke."
"If you ask me, not only must Chen Duo be dealt with, but the company's temporary worker system may also need to be changed."
"You can't, then there are no rules, right?"
After hearing this, Zhao Fangxu's expression did not change, as if he had expected it. He pushed up his glasses and said, "I can understand Director Bi's mood." I also feel deeply sorry for today's situation. "
"The company's temporary worker system was also implemented and established by me and Xu Xiang, the former head of the North China Region. There are indeed unavoidable disadvantages in it."
As Zhao Fangxu spoke, he took a step back in speech and spoke slowly: "But the benefits of the temporary worker system are also obvious. At least he has done a lot for our company, and you all know it."
Hearing this, many of the regional leaders present nodded silently. Xu Si, as the current head of the North China Division, also agreed very much with this.
The system of temporary workers was strongly supported by his father at the beginning. It incorporated some strangers who were strong enough and difficult to completely control into the company, and gave them more freedom and freedom than regular workers without stepping out of the red line. tolerate.
Likewise, the things that these temporary workers have to deal with are naturally more dangerous than those of regular workers, and many unattractive tasks are also completed by them, similar to the existence of scavengers.
Temporary workers are also extremely mysterious, keeping information and files confidential. They only maintain contact with the person in charge of their respective regions. In a sense, they do not take orders from the company's more senior directors.
Part of the reason why his father, Xu Xiang, created this system was for Feng Baobao's safety, so that he could better protect him and help him conceal the secret of youth and immortality.
So now, even if temporary workers stab the person in charge in the back, in his heart, he does not want to see the temporary worker system be changed or even overturned.
Bi Youlong, who is also a director, heard this and snorted coldly: "But the tragedy has happened now, but it is real."
"Nowadays, times have changed, and there are more and more monsters, ghosts, and snake gods in this alien world. Maybe there is someone like Chen Duo hidden among the temporary workers."
"If this breaks out one day, I might come directly to our headquarters and chop our heads off."
"So I really think this temporary worker system needs to be changed, at least with more restrictions. We can also have some confidence. For example, we can bring these temporary workers into the headquarters for management."
As soon as these words came out, the heads of the regions present here were a little unhappy, thinking to themselves, isn't this just a disguised attempt to reduce their power?
Another director, Huang Boren, said nothing, preferring Bi Youlong's proposal in his heart. After all, he was very afraid of death.
Zhao Fangxu thought about this for a while and said: "Dong Bi's proposal is reasonable, but this matter cannot be rushed."
"However, there is an opportunity now to try out the temporary workers in that area and let them do some activities together."
As he spoke, he flipped through the materials in front of him again. When he saw a photo of a mountain village taken by a drone, he stopped and said in a deep voice: "Right now, there is something more difficult than Chen Duo - Bi Touring the Village, New Jie Jiao.”

at the same time.
Dongguang Province, Zhenyuan City.
When night fell again, the dreamy neon lights immediately lit up, illuminating the entire steel city.
In Tianfu District, in a certain office building with dozens of floors, on the 33rd floor, in an office.
Zhang Lingyu watched indifferently. The head of a certain department in front of him was smeared by Yin Wu Lei and lightning. When the other person's whole body was convulsing, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and passed out from the pain, he just brushed his sleeves and removed the A touch of ink-colored thunder and lightning.
Then he turned around without stopping, signaled to the Nadu colleagues waiting in the office, walked into the elevator, and went straight downstairs.
"This Yao Xing Society is indeed mysterious. The difficulty of digging it out is actually much higher than finding Quan Xing."
Zhang Lingyu murmured to himself, but he didn't expect that this so-called "den" was actually a cover, or in other words, a white side that was independent of the ulterior secret.
So this time, he missed again, but fortunately, he also had enough accurate information and was relatively confident that he could dig out the real "rat's nest".
——
the other side.
Zhenyuan City, a port near the sea.
As one of the most prosperous cities in Zhenyuan City, with developed maritime transportation, it can be said that the ships coming and going never stop twenty-four hours a day.
Just 3 kilometers away from the port here, there is a very large seaside warehouse. The warehouse is hidden in the darkness, only slightly illuminated by the moonlight. There is no light inside. It is surrounded by dense green belts, full of overgrown trees. Green plants such as palm trees.
There is an extended road in front of the warehouse, leading to a brightly lit asphalt road, where various vehicles pass by from time to time.
at this time.
However, a motorcycle suddenly appeared at the intersection, turned a corner, and headed straight towards the warehouse. It was extremely fast, and in just two breaths, it arrived outside the warehouse.
When the rider immediately released his grip, he straightened his back, showing a graceful curve. After taking off his helmet, his long pink hair spread out, revealing a better face.
At this moment, Xia He's face showed a look of haggard, but her eyes were firm. She casually stuck her helmet on the motorcycle handlebar, got off the car and headed towards the warehouse.
"If the information obtained in the past few days is correct, then this warehouse hides one of the true strongholds of the Yaoxing Society."
Xia He murmured to himself, realizing that there might be a fierce battle next, but instead, he felt relieved because of this.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but remember the lingering white-robed figure in her mind.
"Husband."
Xia He murmured, with a flash of pain in his eyes, and recalled the scene when Quan Xing went to Longhu Mountain at night, when she and Zhang Lingyu opened their hearts to each other.
That night, she thought that after years of suffering, she finally received God's mercy and was able to stay with the person she loved for the rest of her life. However, she did not expect that such happiness only lasted and was shattered in less than a month. .
When the people from Yao Xing Society came to find her, when dusty memories flooded into her mind again, she had no choice but to leave alone, ending the fate of the past.
When she thought of this, another figure popped up in her mind. That person had the same pink hair and graceful figure as her, but his face was a little more indifferent and indifferent than hers. Perseverance.
"Sister Qutong"
The pain in Xia He's eyes became even stronger.
I still remember that when she was young, before she met Zhang Lingyu, she already lived an extremely bleak life.
Her innate talent for bewitching made her suffer too much. She was full of distrust of everyone and full of fear of all men. However, in order to survive, she could only wander around the human community. On the edge, hiding like a mouse.
And in that darkness, the first person to lend a helping hand to her was the woman with short short hair. The gentle smile when the other party hugged her will be unforgettable.
