General Zhu Ming, Federation is also the legion commander of the East Sea Legion, and he is one of the few boss-level figures in the entire Federation.
In front of this person, he, the Eastsea City consul, is nothing.
Zhou Hanzhi looked at the name flashing on the communicator, took a deep breath, and while thinking about possible words he could use, he pressed the answer button.
"Commander Zhu, long time no see. What instructions do you have?"
A rich baritone voice came from the other end of the communicator, with a bit of crispness unique to the military. "Zhou Zhizong, I heard that something happened to Eastsea City?"
Zhou Hanzhi's heart tightened.
Although East Sea Legion is stationed near the seaside, what happens in the city cannot be hidden from the army commander.
"That's what happened." He considered his words, "Guang Biao, captain of Mecha Brigade, was unfortunately killed today."
"I know." Zhu Ming's voice contained no emotion or anger, "Not only that, I also know who killed him."
Zhou Hanzhi Silence.
"Long Yuan." Zhu Ming said the name directly, "Vice Tower Master of Eastsea City Spirit Pagoda is also the vice-president of Eastsea City Blacksmith Association. He is only eighteen years old, so he is a seventh-level Saint Craftsman and a sixty-first-level soul emperor."
Zhou Hanzhi smiled bitterly, "Commander Zhu is well informed."
"Zhou Zhizong, I'm not here to raise an army to accuse you." Zhu Ming's voice was still steady, "I just want to ask you, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
Zhou Hanzhi pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "What does Commander Zhu think of this?"
Although Guang Biao has no military rank, Mecha Brigade is the force of the military anyway and belongs directly to the Federation military headquarters. In the end, this matter still depends on the opinion of the military. If they have already made a decision, then it is not good for him to overstep his authority.
There was silence on the other end of the communicator for a few seconds.
Then, Zhu Ming smiled.
The laughter was faint, but Zhou Hanzhi could hear the meaning.
"President Zhou, you and I are both smart people, so there is no need to beat around the bush." Zhu Ming's voice regained its calmness, "I know Guang Biao. I also know his brother Guang Long. I believe you know better than me what they have done in Eastsea City over the years."
Zhou Hanzhi said nothing.
"If it weren't for the fact that Guang Biao is a member of the military and has worked so hard, I would have dealt with him a long time ago." Zhu Ming continued, "Now that someone has cleared the door for us, it's too late for me to be happy. Do you think I will launch an army to hold him accountable?"
Zhou Hanzhi felt relieved, but still cautious. "Then Commander Zhujun means..."
"Guang Biao was attacked by Evil Soul Master and died heroically." Zhu Ming's voice revealed the unique determination of a soldier, "But as the old saying goes, a country cannot be without a king for a day. Guang Biao is dead, and Mecha Brigade needs a new captain. I will send someone to take over as soon as possible to stabilize the situation. As for Long Yuan..."
He paused. "You'd better not provoke me."
Zhou Hanzhi was silent for a while before speaking, "Commander Zhu, can I ask why?"
"Why?" Zhu Ming smiled, "Zhou Zhizong, you have Long Yuan's information, right? Eighteen years old, level 61, level 7 Saint Craftsman, and there is a mysterious Hidden Clan behind him. Do you think we can afford to offend such a person?"
Zhou Hanzhi said nothing.
"Besides, before he killed Guang Biao and Guang Long, he just came back from Heaven Dou City. We may have to rely on him in the future." Zhu Ming's tone became a little meaningful.
Zhu Ming paused. "You think so?"
Zhou Hanzhi suddenly realized, Heaven Dou City, the blacksmith, the connection between them only needs a few words for a political person like him.
Zhu Ming This is to remind him.
"So, Governor Zhou." Zhu Ming's voice returned to calmness, "Let's forget about it. Don't make any noise on your side, I will stabilize the situation as soon as possible. As for Long Yuan... let him go, and you will be more responsible in the future."
Zhou Hanzhi Got it.
This legion commander is not here to ask questions, but to "make an alliance" - or in other words, to show good will.
But before that, he understood that Zhu Ming had the instructions of others. Otherwise, even if Guang Biao did so many bad things outside, it would not be anyone else's turn to deal with him.
To be honest, this is a slap in the face of the military!
But just such a thing was handled lightly.
"I understand." Zhou Hanzhi nodded, "Then Mecha Brigade, I will tell them to shut up. Everything is the fault of Evil Soul Master's attack."
"Okay." Zhu Ming's voice was filled with satisfaction, "Zhou is in charge, let's have tea together some other time when we are free."
"Definitely, definitely..."
After ending the call and communication, Zhou Hanzhi sat on the chair and let out a long breath.
He glanced out the window.
The sun was setting in the west, dyeing the entire office a warm orange color.
I thought the sunshine was pleasant to my eyes just now, but now I feel it's a bit dazzling.
A Long Yuan, let him, the consul, and East Sea Legion's legion commander, both be careful.
This world has really changed.
But who gave him the talent? In this world, the strong is respected after all. Guang Biao has lived for so many years and cannot beat the opponent. Who can be blamed?
He sat for a while longer, then picked up the communicator and dialed the secretary's number.
"Hey, tell Mecha Brigade to suppress the matter and keep it quiet. Regarding the death of Guang Biao and Guang Long, just tell the outside world... just say Evil Soul Master attacked."
The secretary was stunned for a moment. "Evil Soul Master?"
"Yes, Evil Soul Master." Zhou Hanzhi's voice was very calm. "Didn't Evil Soul Master take advantage of the chaos to attack Spirit Pagoda and Blacksmith Association? That group was so evil that they hid themselves to retaliate against Mecha Brigade, resulting in the death of Captain Guang Biao."
"Yes."
After ending the call and communication, Zhou Hanzhi leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes.
Guang Biao, Guang Long.
You don't want to mess with anyone, but you want to mess with that kind of monster.
If you die, you will die in vain.
Outside the window, the sunset finally set, and the night gradually enveloped Eastsea City.
Suddenly fewer people went out, but a message quickly spread among the upper circles of Eastsea City: The person from Heaven Dou City Blacksmith Association Headquarters personally asked about Long Yuan's affairs, leaving Administration Office and East Sea Legion to suffer this secret loss.
It was a peaceful night, no one came to disturb Long Yuan, just one call from Zhen Hua, Soul Guidance Communication completely wiped out the storm.
Long Yuan slept until noon.
When I got up, Gu Yuena had already gone to class. There was a bowl of porridge and a note on the table.
"I bought the porridge, not made it.--Na'er"
Long Yuan looked at the note and couldn't help but laugh.
This little girl.
He picked up the porridge and took a sip. It tasted pretty good.
Long Yuan was in a good mood while drinking porridge and looking at the sunshine outside the window.
He thought again of the way Gu Yuena was leaning on his shoulder last night, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
The little girl is becoming more and more clingy.
Well, that's pretty good too.
