Mingdu.
Huo Yuhao, who almost lost half his life during a trip out, finally returned to his loyal Mingde Hall!
Huo Yuhao, who has always been spinning without a break, is no exception this time. As soon as he returned to Mingdu and asked people about whether there was any big news happening in Mingdu recently, he was called to a meeting by Jing Hongchen - still with Shi. Lake's people.
In the conference room of Mingde Hall, Huo Yuhao, Jing Hongchen and others were sitting on one side of the conference table. On the opposite side, there was only a girl on the other side of the table.
It looked like a replica of the confrontation Huo Yuhao had with the Shrek deans and Dai Huabin a few days ago.
"Hall Master Hongchen, needless to say, the purpose of my visit is to communicate with you on behalf of Shrek Academy about the release and Caitou students. I believe you have received Shrek's sincerity in releasing them, and now it's time for you to fulfill your promise. It's time."
Huo Yuhao:......
If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten that the reason why I ran to Shrek City for so long was actually because I caught He Caitou stealing the blueprints.
If Shrek's people hadn't mentioned it, maybe Huo Yuhao would have simply forgotten about it and asked He Caitou to eat free meals in the cell for a few more months.
The woman who is negotiating alone is Zhang Lexuan, the legendary senior sister of Shrek's double-A inner courtyard.
Huo Yuhao confirmed the temperament and serious eyes of the person in front of him. He was indeed quite A. No wonder it was the senior sister of the inner courtyard who had high hopes from the elders.
To be able to escape from a hundred thousand year soul beast at the seventh ring while his companions suffered heavy casualties, and to directly absorb the hundred thousand year soul ring into the eighth soul ring, there is no way he is not a ruthless character.
"Classmate Huo Yuhao." Zhang Lexuan turned to look at Huo Yuhao, called his name, and said with a smile.
"Not only did you receive the benefits promised by Shrek, but you also got a lot of extra benefits. You must not break your promise, right?"
Huo Yuhao nodded lightly: "Of course, according to our previous promise, we will not publicize the results of He Caitou's treatment. The relevant punishments for He Caitou will also be limited to him personally, and we will not ask for more benefits from Shrek. ——But we can’t be blamed for the rumors that have been spread before.”
"Of course, we are still very reasonable." Zhang Lexuan nodded and chuckled.
"But if you want to detain He Caitou for ten or eight years, that's not okay."
"Little friend Le Xuan, don't worry. After one year at most, after the symbolic punishment, we will definitely let He Caitou return to the exchange student team intact. As long as he sincerely reformes and repentes, it is not a bad idea to continue studying."
Jing Hongchen looked at Zhang Lexuan, who had placed countless hopes on Shrek, and said with a smile.
"One year at most? What do you mean, are you going to let He Caitou go to jail?"
Zhang Lexuan frowned slightly, looking very dissatisfied.
The college told her that the bottom line was to at least ensure that He Caitou could be successfully fished out before the exchange student's term expired, and to ensure that the scope of insiders could not continue to expand.
If the three-year period is over and the exchange students from Shrek are missing only He Caitou when they return, it will be too conspicuous. Not to mention the exchange students will definitely feel that the situation is serious, even the students of Shrek Academy It will also be discovered that He Caitou has not returned yet, which would be a real scandal.
Even so, Zhang Lexuan will definitely try her best to help He Caitou get a reduced sentence.
Zhang Lexuan felt heartbroken and uncomfortable when she thought of He Caitou who had gone astray.
Before departure, in order to clarify the ins and outs of the He Caitou incident so that she could have a clear target, Zhang Lexuan specifically consulted Yan Shaozhe, who was directly responsible for the exchange student affairs, on various doubtful points.
She still remembered Yan Shaozhe's expression of melancholy and regret when she asked, "So, did Caitou's actions have any previous instructions from the college?"
"This kid Caitou has good intentions, but there is something wrong with the way he executes it. Le Xuan, you also know that it is impossible for the academy to force students to do something like this that could ruin their future if they are not careful."
"But no matter what, Caitou is a student that the college values after all. Even if he makes a huge mistake, the college will have to make up for him."
"Le Xuan, take good care of Caitou. Although his behavior has caused trouble for the college, after all, the original intention is for the development of the soul guidance department. Don't let him lose his results."
Hearing Zhang Lexuan's question, Jing Hongchen nodded naturally.
"Of course, if you make a mistake, you must be punished. It is possible to reduce the sentence, but acquittal is absolutely impossible. This is a matter of principle."
"If He Caitou was not a student of your school, and you didn't help him get out of his activities, according to the laws of the Sun Moon Empire and the sensitivity of Mingde Hall, I'm afraid he would have been reincarnated by now. How could he safely wait for your rescue?"
Zhang Lexuan turned her eyes to Huo Yuhao.
"But we have kept our promise and arranged a fourth soul ring for him."
Jing Hongchen smiled and shook his head: "This is just an exchange of confidential information. Reducing He Caitou's sentence to a symbolic year shows our greatest sincerity."
"If you still want to fight for a shorter sentence or better treatment for He Caitou...that's another price!"
Zhang Lexuan secretly clenched her fists under the table.
One year... is actually above the college's bottom line.
But she was not willing to make a hasty decision about He Caitou's fate. Today she could nod lightly and agree, then return to the academy to practice with peace of mind. Anyway, she had completed the basic tasks assigned by the academy.
But what kind of suffering is this "year" that sounds easy to say for He Caitou?
She still has a certain amount of chips authorized by the college, so she might as well try her best.
"I want to see He Caitou first to confirm that he has not been abused."
"Please... Yuhao, you are familiar with He Caitou, please take little friend Le Xuan to visit him first."
…………
There is a prison that looks so clean and tidy that it looks like it was staged for a photo, and it looks full of humanitarian glory.
He Caitou stared blankly at the floor in front of him, feeling extremely depressed.
After he agreed to "cooperate" with Huo Yuhao, he was transferred to this cell not long after. The physical abuse seemed to no longer exist, but this loneliness of no communication and isolation made him even more anxious.
Sometimes he would also wonder if the outcome would have changed if he had withstood the pressure and not surrendered to Huo Yuhao. If he had held on for a few more days, Teacher Fan Yu could have rescued him...
But after such a long time, where are the people!
He Caitou thought that Huo Yuhao would come back to discuss the follow-up matters of "cooperation" with him, and that he might have a chance to escape and regain his freedom. However, Huo Yuhao seemed to disappear and never appeared again. This also made He Caitou Caitou couldn't help but raise hopes that things would turn around.
But time passed by like this, even Xiao Xiao and the others came to visit, but he seemed to be forgotten...
"Sister Le Xuan, He Caitou is right in front. As you can see, we have taken good care of him. He has never been short of anything."
"Classmate Yuhao, this is just the first time we've met, we're not that familiar yet..."
"But if I don't call you 'Sister Le Xuan', how else can I call you? Senior sister Le Xuan? I'm not Shrek's student. Le Xuan? It's too insensitive, and I shouldn't call you that. Classmate Le Xuan? That's the Master of Hongchen Hall. That’s why it’s called that.”
"You... forget it, take me to see Caitou first."
Hearing the footsteps and conversations that finally sounded in the corridor after a long time, He Caitou seemed to come back to his senses, and his eyes regained some color.
But when he identified one of the timbres, He Caitou couldn't help but raise his head suddenly, his eyes suddenly filled with fear and trembling.
It's...it's the devil who forces himself to go astray!
"Well, Sister Le Xuan, you see, He Caitou is well taken care of by us. Bai... uh, Bai Bai is fat."
When the two figures finally appeared in front of He Caitou, He Caitou felt at a loss. However, the pair of silver bracelets on his wrists prevented him from moving and avoiding at will. He could only sit on a chair to face the iron gate. Two looks from outside.
"Caitou, it's me, Zhang Lexuan from the inner academy! Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you on behalf of the academy!"
"Is it...is it Senior Sister Lexuan?"
Although he had never met Zhang Lexuan in person before, with her reputation, how could He Caitou not have heard of her?
Just a window away, Zhang Lexuan's tall figure made He Caitou feel ashamed. He lowered his head subconsciously and avoided direct eye contact.
"Of course it's me! Caitou, don't panic, let me see if there are any injuries on your body..."
"I……"
He Caitou raised his head with some trembling, but he inevitably saw the figure that gave him nightmares in the middle of the night.
Huo Yuhao looked at He Caitou with a smile, as if he was showing a clear conscience and a tolerant attitude that allowed Zhang Lexuan to visit He Caitou as he pleased.
But He Caitou couldn't help but recall that a few days ago, the woman who captured him in the Sun Moon Empire gave him a "declaration of allegiance" and forced him to swear in front of the video soul guide that he would become an intruder from now on. The scene of one of Shrek's chess pieces.
Although even if this video is exposed in the future, he can claim that he was forced to do it under the control of the evil soul master, but combined with the blank period of his detention, he may not be able to explain it clearly.
"Caitou, don't be afraid. The academy has never given up on you. If you can see me here, you should be able to understand how hard the academy has put in!"
Zhang Lexuan looked at He Caitou and kept encouraging the latter, but He Caitou couldn't help but feel the corners of his eyes sore, and a tear couldn't stop flowing down.
"Senior Sister Lexuan, I...I know, I have always known, and I have always believed that the academy is trying to help me, I..."
He Caitou looked like he was venting the grievances he had suffered these days.
"Caitou, don't cry. The academy understands your intentions and always believes in you. After you are free, if you want to go back, the academy can take you back to the inner courtyard right away!"
"Huo Yuhao! You also promised not to let Caitou's reputation be damaged again, right?"
Huo Yuhao looked at He Caitou with a smile, nodded and said:
"Of course, the information of the military court is confidential, and the details and results will not be announced to the outside world, nor will they be open to the outside world. No more people will know the details of this matter..."
Zhang Lexuan's lips were slightly opened, with a look of great surprise in her eyes: "Martial court?"
"Yes..." Huo Yuhao secretly rubbed his fingers to relieve his nervousness and continued:
"Mingdetang is a semi-military research institute that develops, produces, and stores arms. It applies a variety of management methods at the same time." Cases involving Mingdetang are reasonable to handle as ordinary civil and military cases...
But when He Caitou heard the word "military court," his mind went blank.
Didn't I say that as long as I cooperate well, the Sun and Moon Empire will ensure the safety of my life?
"You promised to ensure Caitou's safety and protect his reputation!"
"I didn't lie to you. Anyway, the military court will give you a symbolic sentence of one year. We will also take care of He Caitou so that he will not suffer much, and we have also fulfilled our promise not to add more insiders..."
Zhang Lexuan hugged her shoulders and sneered: "You know how to deal with the law now. Do I still want to thank you for Caitou?"
"Of course you don't have to."
"Oh, you know what I mean."
"...Sister Le Xuan, you also know that that is a different price. Anyway, whether it is a year or fifteen days, it is just a matter of words for the Hongchen Hall Master."
Zhang Lexuan's eyes were fixed on Huo Yuhao for a few seconds, then she shook her head slightly and said: "You are really... Caitou has not really caused any harm to you in the end, so you must capture him to squeeze out the last bit of value. ?"
"This matter is obviously a two-way result. If Caitou and Caitou hadn't plotted against each other first, how could we have detained Shrek's exchange students for so long? By the way, speaking of the military court, there is another matter that needs to be addressed to the Hongchen Hall Master. You inform."
"Say, I'm here just to solve the problem."
Huo Yuhao looked at Zhang Lexuan's face, which was full of coldness but not angry, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"According to the latest decision of the Sun and Moon Empire, the Ministry of Military Affairs is about to dispatch five soul mentor groups and the rest of the corresponding troops to conduct exercises in the area bordering the Sky Soul Empire. The reason has something to do with He Caitou, and it is for Xiang Tian The Soul Empire protests against the Haotian Sect’s sneak attack on Mingde Hall, which caused heavy losses of personnel and property.”
Zhang Lexuan's eyes moved slightly when she heard this, and she said somewhat self-deprecatingly: "Five soul master groups... your protest is really formal. Caitou's small shoulders cannot bear such a serious accusation."
"Don't worry, the variable in He Caitou's matter is just how long you are willing to let him serve. It would be ridiculous for an exchange student to take responsibility for such a big thing. What I need to tell you is that because of this exercise The cost will be an astronomical figure, and the Ministry of Military Affairs hopes to make the best use of it to achieve maximum effect."
Seeing that Zhang Lexuan seemed to be listening attentively, Huo Yuhao continued:
"So, the Ministry of Military Affairs has arranged a plan to invite important people from all walks of life to observe. In short, many people, including exchange students from Shrek Academy, are invited to watch the ceremony live."
"Since you happen to be in Mingdu, your name has been added to the invitation list..."
Huo Yuhao's tone was lowered and he explained: "This is an imperial decree."
"Shrek's exchange students should have gotten the news soon, so how about you inform them? In terms of status, you should still be above Teacher Fan Yu, right?"
"As far as I know, everyone including Ling Luochen also misses you very much."
Hearing the name "Ling Luochen", Zhang Lexuan was silent for a moment and asked:
"Luo Chen... the others should have nothing to do with the cabbage thing, right?"
"certainly."
"...Please let Caitou and I talk alone, Luochen and the others, and I will visit later."
Huo Yuhao nodded, then closed the door and left. There were other people worried about the situation in the prison. What he was worried about now was how to make the soul's origin look more reasonable in front of Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming - I hope Shrek and Di Tian had enough face. big.
I recommend "Douluo: The Peerless Sky Eye Yuhao", a new book by the author of Longyin Jiuxiao with over 10,000 orders, and an old author who has written more than 300,000 yuan on the subject of Douluo.
