Apocalypse: The Fat Lady Strikes Back

"The supreme commander of Xiangcheng's garrison, when will it be Cen Yi's turn to decide?"

Chang Zhaoling was crying and patting the armrest of the sofa. At this moment, she was angry, anxious and sad.

She has grown up so big, and since she can remember, she has never encountered such a predicament. The place in Xiangcheng is like an iron bucket, and no oil can be poured in. Even if Shang Zhengxin, the head of the Chang family, is dispatched Shang Shixian couldn't get it back.

It wasn't like this in the past. As long as Chang Zhaoling thought about it, this southern region was like the back garden of the Shang family. Who wouldn't sell Chang Zhaoling a favor?

"When Ye Yiming gave the Xiangcheng garrison commander to Cen Yi, he didn't get the consent of the southern garrison system, let alone the central part."

Shang Lingjie followed what Chang Zhaoling said:

"Besides, since Xiangcheng was privately transferred by Ye Yiming, our business in Xiangcheng has been frustrated. We didn't say anything about it, so we took it as a concession to Ye Yiming, but he went too far this time. How did my brother offend Ye Yiming? ?”

Changlu Energy Group is in the energy business. Before that, their exploration team discovered energy stone mines in Xiangcheng. Although nothing was found in the end, they also encountered Gu Siran's mutiny.

However, Changlu Energy Group did not delve into this matter.

The energy stone factory and energy stone mine in Xicheng were discovered by Ye Yiming, so they were handed over to Ye Yiming, and Changlu Energy Group did nothing.

This time, Cen Yi directly wanted to kill Shang Shixian, how did the Shang family offend Cen Yi and Ye Yiming? The Shang family and the Chang family, haven't they done enough?

On the leather sofa, Chang Zhaoling said to her eldest son with red eyes:

"Actually, it's because people's hearts are not enough. We have been patient with Ye Yiming and Cen until now, and we have given up their appetite."

"Mom, what shall we do now?"

"There is only one way. They won't let Shi Xian go. If we want to save your brother's life, there is only one last way."

Chang Zhaoling spoke quite desperately, her face was haggard, fine lines had been engraved by the years on her once well-maintained face, and the decent dress was studded with diamonds. People look graceful and luxurious.

I heard Chang Zhaoling say harshly:

"This is what the world is like. Human life is the least valuable thing in the last days. As long as you have money, power and energy, there are many people who will work for us."

Being forced to this extent, Chang Zhaoling had no other choice. The Chang family lost control over Xiangcheng. At this time, they had to forcefully push Shang Shixian to save Shang Shixian.

As long as there is money, whose life cannot be bought back?

In the luxurious living room, there was silence, the crying gradually disappeared, and Shang Lingjie didn't speak again.

The temperature in the south is getting colder little by little. Cen Yi and Qiao Lingxiang have been living in Jieshan Village for a few days.

In the past few days, the two of them didn't do anything earth-shattering and weeping ghosts and gods in Jieshan Village. And so it passed.

Originally, the administrators of Jieshan Village were still worrying about how to entertain these two giants. The administrators were anxious and wanted to arrange as much variety as possible for the "holiday" programs of the two giants.

As a result, Cen Yi and Qiao Lingxiang arranged themselves well. They are the real kind of people who can fight the enemy and return to the field. They don't need the village administrator to worry about their lives at all.

And they don't have the airs of big bosses at all. In Jieshan Village, they seem to be just ordinary people. Sometimes Cen Yi doesn't do his farm work well, and Lin Tianyi will scold them by the ears.

At the foot of the mountain behind the Lengsnake Tower, Qiao Lingxiang helped Grandma Lin steam the buns, and sat on the wooden swing in the yard to rest. The wind blew over, carrying the fragrance of plants and trees, and a round of red sunset slowly sank to the white wall. that side.

The swing chair swayed slowly, and the back of the chair fell into Cen Yi's hands.

He pushed forward lightly, and the swing chair flew up with Qiao Lingxiang.

Qiao Lingxiang on the chair smiled and played for a while. When Cen Yi sat beside her, Qiao Lingxiang did not speak, and leaned her head on Cen Yi's shoulder on the slightly swaying swing.

Cen Yi glanced sideways at the girl on his shoulder, bent his lips and smiled, and asked:

"Why do I feel like I really don't want to leave, Ayaka, you said we both resigned from Ye Yiming, will he come to Jieshan Village to chase us down?"

"Well, maybe it will."

Qiao Lingxiang was a little lazy and didn't want to talk much. The day was going so well, there was a kind of smooth sailing, which made people feel like they didn't want to struggle at all.

She pulled herself together and said:

"It is precisely because this kind of life is so beautiful, so in order to protect this kind of life from being destroyed, to protect people like Grandpa Lin, Grandma Lin, and the others, and to live such a peaceful life, we need to leave even more."

Go to the front line to kill monsters, for your own future, and also for one of the few pure lands in the last days.

Cen Yi didn't answer, he stretched out his hand, took Qiao Lingxiang's hand, and held her with five fingers crossed, while sitting on the gently swaying swing chair, he looked at the sunset that had completely set on the other side of the wall.

When he came back this time, his real purpose was to tell his grandparents that he wanted to be with Qiao Lingxiang and introduce her to his grandparents again as his girlfriend.

But after they came back, Cen Yi and Qiao Lingxiang never had a chance to talk about it.

But in fact, there is no need to say anything. In the preparation of Lin Tianyi and Li Min, the future of the two of them had already been considered together. After dinner, Li Min quietly pulled Qiao Lingxiang into her bedroom and gave her A wooden box.

Qiao Lingxiang sat on the edge of the bed and opened the wooden box with a puzzled expression. Inside was a box full of real estate certificates.

Li Min who was sitting in front of her sighed:

"I also know that the world has changed now. Those gold, silver and jewels are now like scraps. Maybe the house in Xiangcheng is still worth a little. Xiangxiang, these are all yours. There is also Jieshan Village here. Here, where is the real estate certificate of our yard?"

Although the world has changed, the security inspection system in Xiangcheng has not changed. Many people are still alive and have not changed. Therefore, the real estate, as Wei Xingping said, still recognizes the effective value of personal real estate according to the original.

In this way, many people who originally left Xiangcheng and now returned to Xiangcheng have their houses occupied by others, which caused social disputes.

After all, people in Xiangcheng struggled for many years before they bought a house. This thing is different from gold, silver and jewelry. It cannot be said that it is worthless, but it is worthless.

With that said, Li Min held Qiao Lingxiang's hand, and said:

"Now you and I, Grandpa Lin, can only offer so much dowry. Xiangxiang, my own grandson, I know best, Cen Yihe"

She raised her hand, tapped her forehead, and showed Qiao Lingxiang a "you understand" expression,

"Cen Yi, he has a brain problem. He has been back for a few days and hasn't mentioned the two of you to us. His grandfather and I saw that he has been stationed in the garrison for so many years. He hasn't saved any property. I guess he also He doesn't have much money, so his grandfather and I have to plan for him."

Not only did Cen Yi have no money, but he brought Qiao Lingxiang back as his girlfriend, and he never even thought that marrying a wife required a bride price.

That's why Li Min wondered if her grandson was out of her mind. Qiao Lingxiang was a pure girl, so why should she be his wife? Because he is handsome or what? Really want to marry Qiao Lingxiang without spending a penny?

Seeing that Cen Yi was so clueless, Lin Tianyi and Li Min decided to take out all the real estate certificates that were still worth a little money in their family, to help Cen Yi.

Qiao Lingxiang was shocked by the box full of real estate certificates. After listening to Li Min's words, she hurriedly closed the box, raised her head and explained:

"No, Brother Cen Yi didn't give me anything, he gave me all his salary, and he didn't keep a single relic, and when we were on the front line, they made endless relics , and all of them were collected by me.”

It seemed that no one would consider this issue. The frontline garrison needed relics to kill monsters. Qiao Lingxiang was able to fuse the dusty relics from the sand monsters, so the front camp was full of relics.

If the garrison on the front line wants relics, they can just carry them around on the ground.

There is simply no way to use up so many relics, and they will also shoot a lot from the body of the mutant monster.

No one would think about how much they should share, how much they should keep, and what to do with so many inexhaustible relics. Anyway, all the inexhaustible relics should be given to Qiao Lingxiang, all of which belong to her.

This has become a kind of ideological inertia of the frontline garrison, as if it is only right and proper, it should be given to her.

So on the surface, Cen Yi did not give Qiao Lingxiang anything, and brought Qiao Lingxiang home, empty-handed, and wanted to marry her as his wife.

But in fact, he gave her everything, and there was nothing left to give.

"You take it. The front line is the style of the front line. What was given by grandparents is from grandparents."

Li Min was very persistent, pushed the box containing the real estate certificate to Qiao Lingxiang, and said very seriously:

"Your Grandpa Lin and I are both old. How many years can we live? You put away these things. The world is so chaotic, so you should put them away for your grandparents."

Then, Li Min patted Qiao Lingxiang's hand and said in a low voice:

"I'll give you the house. In the future, if Cen Yi makes you angry, you can drive him out directly. That's good."

After finishing speaking, she still felt that she really thought of a good trick to treat her grandson, and she couldn't help being happy.

Qiao Lingxiang couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

She raised her eyes, which seemed to be covered with a layer of water mirrors, and sat in front of Li Min in the silent Jieshan Village, looking at the old man in front of her.

Then, Qiao Lingxiang raised her hand, hugged Li Min, and said:

"Thank you, Grandma Lin."

She has no natal family, and she had vaguely heard of it before. Hou Manrong and Qiao Pengfei are still alive and have been following Chen Wu.

But because Qiao Lingxiang had already drawn a clear line between herself and these two people, at this time, Qiao Lingxiang never thought about finding Hou Manrong and Qiao Pengfei back to give her a front.

It's not necessary, as long as you know that Hou Manrong and Qiao Pengfei can live a good life, if they are brought back, it will be endless trouble for Qiao Lingxiang. Anyone who wants to use Hou Manrong and Qiao Pengfei to control Qiao Lingxiang can get out of Xiangcheng It's time to go to Jieshan Village.

So whether emotionally or intellectually, Qiao Lingxiang continued to keep boundaries with Hou Manrong and Qiao Pengfei, which was good.

Cen Yi said that he wanted to marry her, but Qiao Lingxiang didn't have any conditions or demands on him, because for Qiao Lingxiang, Cen Yi had given her enough, and there was no need for any external material barriers to prove his love for her up.

Although Qiao Ayaka thinks so.

But Li Min, an old-fashioned person, doesn't think so. As an elder, she has never bullied Qiao Lingxiang's "simpleness" who is a little ignorant of the world. Even, she and Lin Tianyi almost gave up everything to hire Qiao Lingxiang. .

She also caringly helped Qiao Lingxiang think about her future life. If Cen Yi dared to bully her, all the houses were given to Qiao Lingxiang anyway, and Qiao Lingxiang could drive Cen Yi out of the house.

As elders, Li Min and Lin Tianyi knew Qiao Lingxiang and Cen Yi's temperament well. If Qiao Lingxiang and Cen Yi had a dispute in the future, how could Qiao Lingxiang be wrong? She was so tolerant and tolerant of Cen Yi that she was almost obedient to Cen Yi.

Then it must be Cen Yi's fault. Facing Cen Yi who is more resistant to beatings, Li Min certainly knows his ability to irritate people, so just drive Cen Yi out of the house, it's okay, this person is very solid.

And Li Min, who thought of Qiao Lingxiang wholeheartedly and sincerely, moved her very much.

Li Min patted Qiao Lingxiang's back with a smile, and sighed:

"In the blink of an eye, you've all grown up, and now you're all like adults, holding hands and coming in front of me and your Grandpa Lin, considering getting married."

Whether it's Qiao Ling or Cen Yi, they are the children that Li Min watched and grew up. In Li Min's mind, these two children will always be children.

So she is in a complicated mood now. On the one hand, she feels that she is really old, and even her grandchildren are getting married. On the other hand, she is happy. Cen Yi found a good girl to put her feelings on. From then on, Qiao Lingxiang really became her. granddaughter.

There is nothing more reassuring for Li Min than this.

As the night gradually deepened, Li Min and Qiao Lingxiang talked for a while in the bedroom before letting Qiao Lingxiang go back to sleep.

She took the elevator up to the top floor and came to her bedroom. As soon as she got out of the elevator door, she saw Cen Yi sitting on her sofa, waiting for her to come back.

He seemed to be a little sleepy, and tilted his head on the sofa a little bit. Seeing Qiao Lingxiang approaching, he only raised his eyelids, raised his head slightly, and asked with a lazy foolishness:

"You're back? What did you talk about? Why are you talking so late?"

"Let's talk about how to treat you later."

Qiao Lingxiang sat on the coffee table in front of Cen Yi, looked at Cen Yi with a smile, and felt pity for this man in her heart. He had been living bloody days on the battlefield, and seeing his majesty, in fact, never Internally, Cen Yi is still the simple big boy he was back then.

His thoughts are not complicated, his temper is particularly stubborn, and he is very kind to her.

"How to cure me?"

Cen Yi reluctantly opened his eyes, stretched his waist, and didn't take this matter to heart. He only had two women in his life, one was his grandma, and the other was Qiao Lingxiang. He will treat him as he pleases.

As long as they were happy, he could do whatever he wanted.

Seeing Qiao Lingxiang sitting on the tea table in front of him, bent over, leaning her elbows on her knees, looking at him with a crooked face and smiling, Cen Yiwei stretched out his hand, pinched Qiao Lingxiang's nose with two fingers, and aggravated the situation again. Something threatening in voice, asking:

"How are you going to treat me?"

She just smiled, raised her hand and opened Cen Yi's hand, and when he stretched his arms and hugged her to the sofa, the two of them fell together, and Qiao Lingxiang buried her cheeks with a beating heart. In Cen Yi's heart, he said to Cen Yi:

"Brother Cen Yi, the last days will pass, right?"

"Yes, we will be back, don't worry."

Cen Yi knew what she was worried about, because life in Jieshan Village was so good, and in just a few days, people felt completely lazy.

Neither he nor Qiao Ayaka wanted to leave here.

The atmosphere became more charming, and Cen Yi let go of Qiao Lingxiang's arm, and said:

"Okay, it's too late, if I continue to quarrel with you, I won't be able to leave tonight."

He has grown up, no matter how unresponsive a man is, after having a girlfriend, he will have some normal physical reactions.

So he had to leave when he got there. If he didn't leave, he didn't know what he would do to Qiao Lingxiang.

As Cen Yi said, he stood up from the sofa and walked towards the indoor elevator.

Qiao Lingxiang followed behind him, waiting for Cen to walk to the elevator door in two or three steps, enter the elevator, turn around and stand in the elevator, waiting for Qiao Lingxiang to say good night to him.

However, Qiao Lingxiang's face was flushed, she seemed to be unable to speak, she lowered her eyes, kicked her toes on the carpet, and said in a soft voice:

"If you don't want to go, you can actually stay tonight."

This was the boldest thing Qiao Lingxiang had ever said when she was so grown up. After she finished speaking, she didn't look at Cen Yi's face, but turned her back, her face flushed to the back of her neck.

Hearing the sound of the elevator door closing behind her, she was hugged by Cen Yi before she could turn around.

He didn't speak, afraid that if he asked unnecessary words, she would go back on his word.

On the road of love, Cen Yi seems to have completely lost his usual fierce and aggressive temper, and is always cautious, cautious and cautious.

But tonight, he suddenly didn't want to be cautious, and he didn't want to be careful to confirm Qiao Lingxiang's true wishes.

He didn't want her to have a chance to regret it, even if she said something like this one second, and said she was wrong the next second, Cen Yi would pretend not to hear it.

She said in person that he could stay, so he must stay.
