Above the stars

My brother and I have a heart-to-heart connection, and my brother and I play with our brains.

You are not after our hearts, you are after our lives.

Seeing this scene, Wang Tianlong became excited.

What a familiar picture.

When he took refuge with the Tang bandits, they used a death spell to control him. In order to gain the trust of the Tang bandits, he even shaved his own face.

The president is indeed fair and impartial and treats everyone equally.

He didn’t let these newcomers go just because he was an old teammate.

Seeing the horrified and disbelieving expressions in everyone's eyes, Tang Bandit sighed softly: "Actually, I don't want to do this, but I have no choice."

He pointed at Bai Wuxin, who was standing aside and exuding a cold and murderous aura, and said: "This friend of mine has a cruel personality and likes to kill people. He killed the dozen or so black robes in the shrine, and he almost killed Mr. Yan as well. Killed."

Mr. Yan agreed in a deep voice: "That's true."

"."

Bai Wuxin frowned slightly and did not answer.

He doesn't care how the outside world sees him, he is a world of his own.

Be it brutal or murderous

They didn't say anything wrong, so what's there to be angry about?

"According to his intention, he will kill you all and select a new group of black robes from various regions. In this way, those people promoted by me will become my people and will definitely be loyal to me."

"But I rejected his suggestion. We are all raised by our mothers and fathers, so how can we kill them just for the sake of killing them?"

"Although you were not promoted by me, I have the courage to continue to use you. Who said you can't be loyal to me?"

"However, his worries are justified. Am I familiar with you? Not familiar. This is the first time we have met."

"Can you work for me seriously? I really don't have confidence in what the atmosphere in the company is like. You know better than me."

"After thinking about it, I can only drink a cup of heart-to-heart wine with you all. I will give my heart to you, and please give your heart to me."

"If you fail me, I will not fail you. If you fail me, you are also failing yourself."

"As long as everyone works with peace of mind, I guarantee you that everyone here will have meat to eat, wine to drink, and regular and rationed antidotes. What do you think?"

No one answered.

They don't think so.

After all, he was tricked by the Tang bandits and poisoned wine was poured into his stomach.

It would be a lie to say that I am not angry or resentful.

This feeling of being completely controlled by someone whose life is hanging by a thread is really uncomfortable.

However, they were indeed worried that the Tang bandits would go on a killing spree.

After they arrived, they discovered that all the black-robed deacons who had been in charge of various areas within the palace had disappeared.

None left.

They can kill the president and those black robes, why can't they kill themselves?

silence.

Deathly silence.

At the critical moment, it has to be Wang Tianlong.

"The president is right." Wang Tianlong was the first to stand up and express his position: "We are originally the people of the Flame God. When we joined the religion, we swore an oath to the Flame God and dedicated everything to the Flame God. , including body and life"

"The president is the messenger of the God of Fire, and he represents the will of the God of Fire in the world. Our allegiance to the president when we help people in distress is our allegiance to the God of Fire."

"Besides, the president is willing to give us a precious opportunity without knowing anything about us. We should be even more grateful."

"Anyway, I didn't betray the religion. Do you have any thoughts of betraying the president?"

"No, no."

"How could we betray the president? Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"We are willing to serve the president."

——

The other eight black robes expressed their opinions one after another.

Just kidding, how dare they say that they have second thoughts at this time?

"Thank you brothers for trusting me. I said, you will never let me down, and I will never let you down."

He waved and said, "Come on, pour the wine. My brothers and I will have another drink."

Everyone looked horrified and backed away.

"No, no, president, you don't have to be so polite."

"My subordinate is really drunk. Why do I feel like the room is spinning?"

"I can't do it anymore, I'm drunk."

——

"It's not poisonous this time." Tang Bandi said angrily.

These bastards don't even believe in their own character.

What about the most basic trust between people?

After inviting everyone to drink two glasses of heartfelt wine, the subordinates came to report that the preparations at Miracle Square were complete, and the saint invited Tang Bandit to come over.

"Brothers, let me tell you some good news. Through the joint efforts of the Saint and the base, we have finally created an antidote to overcome the plague virus," Tang Bandit said happily.

‘Huh, didn’t you also create the virus? ’

Everyone murmured in their hearts.

Of course, this idea was very dangerous, and they only dared to think about it in their hearts, and they also had to cooperate with the Tang bandits to perform the "overjoyed" drama.

"Great, our brothers and sisters are saved."

"Thank you to the president, thank you to the saint, thank you to the flame god."

"As expected of the technology from Xinxing, it is amazing. The president is indeed a messenger of God, and he is here to spread the gospel to us suffering parishioners."

——

Tang Bandit waved his hand and said: "All glory belongs to the Flame God. Let's go, the saint is still waiting in the square, let's go and take a look."

Miracle Square is said to be the place where the God of Fire appears.

Of course, this refers to the headquarters.

The headquarters of the Flame Shrine is called a shrine, so small shrines were built in various places.

There is Miracle Square in front of the shrine, and the doors of various shrines are also called Miracle Squares.

When Bandit Tang arrived at Miracle Square with a group of black robes, An Ning was leading a group of base medical staff wearing white protective suits to inject potions into the residents.

Seeing Tang Bandi coming, An Ning said loudly: "Dear friends, this is the new president of our divine religion, Tang Bandit. He followed the will of the Flame God and brought us the gospel and the solution to expel the virus. medicine"

"Without him, our brothers and sisters will suffer from the virus and even pay the price with their lives."

"Let us thank the President and the God of Fire."

"Thank you, President, thank you God of Fire."

Everyone shouted in unison.

They don't care who is the president, just like we don't care who is the village chief.

They only care about who can solve their virus problem and who can help them live a better life.

"Thank you, president, thank you God of Fire." An Ning sang again.

The saint's influence is extremely terrifying, not to mention that she also deliberately added the power of 'bewitchment' to her voice.

"Thank you, President, thank you God of Fire."

The mountains roared and the tsunami roared.

Tang Bandit looked at the squatting cult members and knew in his heart that the Lingyang area of ​​the Flame Shrine had been temporarily captured.

Next, he wants to eat the entire Fire Shrine.

Hate Mountain Base.

Dungeon Room 1.

Because of Zhong Daolong's special status, even when he arrived in the old land and the heavily guarded Henshan Base, he was still imprisoned.

Phoenix was led by the ghost team members to Room 1. The iron door was opened and then closed again.

Phoenix handed over the gift he brought and said with a smile: "There are no cigars here, just these cigarettes. I bought these tobacco leaves from the local villagers and rolled them myself. Can you try them?"

Zhong Daolong took the box, took out a rough-looking cigarette from it, lit it with a lighter, and said with a smile: "They say that daughters are daddy's caring little cotton-padded jackets. This is not true at all. I know daddy misses this cigarette. , it was delivered immediately.”

He took a deep puff, felt it carefully, and said, "The cigarettes rolled by my daughter are fragrant, no worse than the cigars I smoked before."

"As long as you like it. Then I'll roll more for you in the future."

"Okay. It's easier to pass the time this way." Zhong Daolong said with a smile.

Phoenix's face turned gloomy, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

From being the king of a country to being a prisoner today, there is nothing more exciting than the ups and downs of life.

As a daughter, she couldn't help much.

Zhong Daolong saw his daughter's expression and knew what she was thinking, so he comforted her: "It's okay. Isn't dad living a good life now? He has a house to live in, he has cigarettes to smoke, and he can read novels and listen to music when he is fine. Listening to little songs. To be honest, I haven’t had such a leisurely time in many years.”

"No matter how depressed my father is, his daughter will always be by his side. What else am I not satisfied with? I am already very satisfied."

"It's good if you can think so." Phoenix nodded and said, thinking less, life will be easier.

Although she knew this was impossible, her father's heart must be a thousand times more tormented than he showed.

Zhong Daolong looked at Fenghuang and asked aloud: "It's you. How are you and that kid?"

"What happened?"

Phoenix plays dumb.

She knew what her father was asking, but she didn't know how to answer.

After all, she had never admitted her relationship with Tang Bandit in front of her father.

"What? Do you really think that dad is old-sighted? I have known for a long time that you and that boy are in love, I just don't want to expose you."

"dad"

"Men should marry when they are older, and women should marry when they are older. What's so embarrassing about saying this?" Zhong Daolong waved his hand and said, "I didn't want you two to date before because I knew that this guy's identity was complicated and his intentions were unclear. I'm so How can a precious little princess marry such a person?"

"Now, we have reached this situation. Who am I to object? If you really like it, then live a good life."

"In our Zhong family, if anyone can find happiness, I hope that person is you."

"We." Phoenix pondered for a moment and said softly, "We have nothing to do with each other."

"It doesn't matter?" Zhong Daolong's expression paused for a moment, and he immediately understood the reason for the change. He persuaded softly: "Don't let the hatred of the previous generation affect your personal relationship. If that kid treats you sincerely, , I will bless you.”

Phoenix shook his head slightly and said, "How can it be that simple?"

"I know you can't get over the hurdle in your heart. Everyone has their own positions, and it's hard to tell who is right and who is wrong."

"Actually, you also know that I have been taking advantage of that kid. It's just that he played a better game and we lost."

Phoenix remained silent.

In the past, when she and Tang Bandit fell in love, they could only do it secretly, and the whole world was blocking them.

Now they have become like this, but they have the support of their families. First, his second brother asked him to take the initiative to capture the Tang bandits and contribute to the restoration of the Zhong family in the future.

Now his father told him to find his true happiness

Can feelings be something that can come and go at a moment's notice?

If it could be that easy, why should I be so sad?

"Let's take it one step at a time. Who knows about feelings?" Phoenix said perfunctorily.

"Yeah." Zhong Daolong nodded and said, "But you should also remember that love is like a battlefield. It matters about order, and there are winners and losers."

"I understand." Phoenix said.

She looked at Zhong Daolong's pale face, but she couldn't ask the question that had been lingering in her heart for a long time.

"You have a good rest. I will come over to see you when I have time." Phoenix stood up and left.

"good."

Zhong Daolong smiled and nodded.

When the iron door closed again and Phoenix's figure had gone away, Zhong Daolong threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and stepped on it hard.

His eyes were stern and his expression was ferocious.

——

When Fenghuang came out of the dungeon, he happened to bump into Tang Bandit who came back from outside.

Their eyes met, and it was Phoenix who broke the silence first: "Are you feeling better? Why did you run out?"

"There's nothing wrong." Tang Bandit said with a smile: "The doctor also came to check and said I could get out of bed, so I went out."

"The doctor only said you can get out of bed, but he didn't say you can go out." Phoenix warned: "You still have to take the medicine."

"Understood. If you don't tell me to stop, I won't stop."

Fenghuang glanced at Tang Bandit and said, "I made a pot of ginseng and old chicken soup. The ginseng was brought from Xinxing. It's just right for you to replenish your body. Come and have a bowl at dinner."

Tang Bandit was stunned for a moment, then grinned: "Okay."

Returning to the courtyard, Fenghuang said to the maid beside him: "Take out the century-old ginseng and cook it together with the pheasant."

The maid following Phoenix said: "Miss, didn't you say you won't take the initiative?"

"Who took the initiative?" Fenghuang immediately denied it.

After a pause, he explained weakly: "I'm just afraid that the chicken will go bad and there's no freezer here."

"To buy a pheasant, buy a century-old ginseng?"

"."

——

Sunlight City, also known as the Holy City.

This is the headquarters of the Flame Shrine and one of the most prosperous areas in the human world.

Standing in front of the door of a majestic mansion, An Ning walked forward and said to the guard in military uniform at the door: "I am Saint An Ning from the Lingyang branch. I have something to call on the archbishop."

As he spoke, he presented the token representing the saint's symbol.

The guard at the door took the flame idol, took a look at it, and said, "Wait a moment."

Then he went into the house to report.

Soon, the guard ran out and said, "The Archbishop invites you in."

An Ning and Tang Bandi looked at each other and walked into the archbishop's courtyard together.

It is worthy of being the place closest to the Fire God. Even the mansion is built in a majestic manner, even more luxurious than the shrine in Lingyang area.

Under the guidance of the guards, the two met Archbishop Bao Guoan in the living room.

Bao Guoan is a kind old man with a fair face and no beard, wearing a pair of slightly heavy black-rimmed glasses.

Wearing a red robe and a red hat, his chest is decorated with a burning flame pattern decorated with gold wire.

"I've met the archbishop." An Ning took the initiative to teach Bao Guoan.

"When you arrive at your home, what should you do? Don't call me bishop, call me uncle." Bao Guoan was very happy to see An Ning. After all, this was his savior. Without her, he would have turned into loess long ago. He smiled. He said: "I invited you to come to my house several times, but you always said you were busy. Why do you have time to come over today?"

An Ning glanced at Tang Bandit and said, "I'm here to recommend talents to my uncle."

"Oh?" Bao Guoan's eyes also shifted to Tang Bandit's face, knowing that the person she wanted to recommend must be this person, otherwise he would not have brought him to his home: "Who is this?"

"My brother." An Ning said, "Not a real brother, but better than a real brother."

"What talents do you have?"

"Excellent in both civil and military skills. He can go up to the nine heavens to catch the moon and go down to the five oceans to catch turtles."

"Do you want any job?"

"The Pope of the Flame Shrine."
