Lord of the Night

The smell of incense and candles rose to the sky, lingering in the air for a long time.

Fang Che came all the way.

He wanted to go directly to the headquarters, but when he smelled the incense and candles halfway, he suddenly felt something.

So he turned temporarily and came to the Yinghun Temple.

First, he respectfully offered a few sticks of incense to the old man Shen.

"Teacher Shen, the child you care about, the child you take care of, has grown up. Don't worry!"

Fang Che muttered to himself silently in his heart.

Now standing in front of the spirit of the old man Shen, a series of past events in his mind turned over one by one.

Just like a book, page by page, it turned to the page where the old man Shen died.

The end.

He couldn't help but take a long breath, looked up, and stared at the ten words "The Spiritual Position of the Mainland Hero Shen Zhixuan". In the smoke, he vaguely saw the wrinkled face of the old man Shen, smiling at him.

Fang Che stood for a long time, not wanting to leave.

Because the burning smoke still enveloped his whole body like the old man's eyes, making him feel as if he was still the child who needed protection, just like a little bird, sheltered under the wings of an old man, the same feeling.

There were small footsteps next to him.

A woman in blue, with two children in their teens, came to burn incense.

After burning incense for the Yinghun Temple, the mother and her two children quickly found the spirit tablets that needed to be worshipped. She seemed to have come many times and was already familiar with the location of the spirit tablets.

A new stick of incense was lit.

"Kowtow to Daddy."

The woman said softly to the two children.

Then the two children kowtowed.

The woman's eyes were slightly swollen, and she stared at the name on the spirit tablet in a daze.

The expression on her face was like smoke and dreams.

"To this day I still can't believe that you actually went..."

The woman murmured and sighed slowly.

Fang Che turned around and offered incense to other heroes and to his more than 700 subordinates who died in this battle.

"Is it General Fang?"

The woman saw his face and immediately saluted: "Greetings, General."

Fang Che was stunned for a moment. He did not know this woman, who was only at the level of Wushuai. He frowned and said: "You are..."

"My late husband, Hu Zhicheng, the commander of the war hall." The woman said.

"It's Zhicheng's family!" Fang Che immediately remembered and said kindly: "It turned out to be you."

"Yes, Zhicheng has mentioned the general many times."

The woman said softly.

Fang Che turned his head to look at Hu Zhicheng's spirit tablet, and suddenly felt heavy in his heart. He said softly: "Is your family okay? Are there any difficulties?"

"No difficulties."

The woman whispered: "I, my cultivation is not as good as Zhicheng, but I am also at the level of Wushuai, and I have a position in the headquarters' finance. I can raise my children and take care of the elderly. There is no problem in life."

The two children kowtowed and ran over, looking at Fang Che expectantly.

The woman said, "This is you... Uncle Fang, Chief Fang, didn't your father often tell you? Hurry up and salute Uncle Fang."

The two children's eyes suddenly shone with dazzling light, and they looked at Fang Che with admiration, and exclaimed, "This is Fang Tu... No, no no... Uncle Fang, hello Uncle Fang!"

The two children immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Serious and meticulous.

The little faces were shining.

It can be seen that the two children are probably so tired of hearing Fang Che's name.

The woman said embarrassedly, "The children are ignorant and call you randomly... Chief, please forgive me."

Fang Che smiled and said, "You are innocent, what's wrong with that?"

Kneeling down and helping the two children up, he said, "What handsome children are there, very strong, you can tell at a glance that they are two men."

The two boys immediately pursed their lips in embarrassment, wanting to laugh, but they didn't dare to do so because they were worried that this was the ancestral hall.

Fang Che said gently: "Your father is a hero, and you are the descendants of heroes. Uncle Fang will wait for you to take over your father's job in the future."

The two boys' eyes lit up and said: "Yes, we have already made a vow in front of our father at home. When we grow up, we will be like our father; guard the human continent and protect the beautiful world; stick to what we have held for a lifetime and kill the evil demon!"

Fang Che was stunned for a moment.

These words don't sound like what a child would say. Praise: "Good boy!"

The woman looked at her son lovingly and said softly: "This is the handwriting that Zhicheng asked someone to write before he died. It is hung in the study. The two children read it every day and remember it."

Fang Che exhaled and stood up straight.

Suddenly, he felt heavy in his heart.

He said softly: "The children have such ambitions, and we, as elders, must support them. The children have good roots and must be cultivated well."

Gently stroking the heads of the two children, the Infinite Sutra penetrated into their bodies and instantly cleansed the meridians of the two children.

Then he took out two small pieces of colored crystal, rubbed them with his hands, and made two jade pendants. He activated his magic power, shielding everything around him, one for each child, and said: "This is our first meeting, give it to the child as a gift, and let the child wear it with him in the future."

The woman was shocked: "Mr. Fang, this is not possible! It's too expensive!"

"No matter how expensive it is, it is not as important as the child's future."

Fang Che said gently: "This thing is good for the child's health, so don't refuse it. It can be regarded as a benefit for Zhicheng."

Turning around, he lit a stick of incense and placed it in front of Hu Zhicheng's memorial tablet.

The woman bowed and asked the two children to kneel down: "Thank you, Mr. Fang."

Fang Che said leisurely: "Take good care of the children."

Two colored crystals, worn by two children, naturally nourish the body is only secondary. The real benefit is the washing of countless scriptures.

It's not that Fang Che doesn't want to give more, but this woman only has martial arts training. It's fine if it's not known to everyone but if it's given to a child, it could be troublesome if it's given too much.

The woman also knew that this visit was a great opportunity. When she saw the people offering incense around her, she didn't notice anything. She knew it was Fang Che who did it. After thanking Fang Che, she hurriedly took her child and left quietly.

Fang Che finished offering incense to his subordinates who died in this battle.

The Hall of Heroes is filled with smoke, like a heavy fog.

Fang Che remembered the childish voices of the two children just now and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Although there are countless bastards in this continent, what is gratifying is that there are also countless such heroes! And, passed down from generation to generation.

I only saw two children this time, but these two were not the only children left behind by the brothers who died?

What about the others?

This is the responsibility that living people like me must shoulder.

Walk slowly to the door.

His back was filled with scented candles.

The guardian of the Heroes' Ancestral Hall bowed slightly.

Fang Che stood in front of the door and asked softly: "Have all the family members of the third hall been here?"

"They've all been here."

"Is there anyone who complains, complains, or is dissatisfied?"

"none!"

The guard stood straight and determined.

"They're all good!"

Fang Che said softly: "Don't chill the hero's heart!"

The guard didn't know how to answer this question.

While my mind was spinning, I looked up and found that the smoke was thick in front of my eyes, and Mr. Fang's tall figure had disappeared at some point.

…

Fang Che just sat down in his chief's office.

Xiong Rushan and Yin Guotang came to apologize with shame on their faces, especially Xiong Rushan, who had lost weight twice, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was kneeling on the ground, as if he was lost.

Because of his own fault, the Guardian entered a cruel battle situation that he could have avoided, resulting in the sacrifice of more than 700 comrades.

This matter was like a huge mountain, so heavy that Xiong Rushan couldn't even breathe.

After fighting for a lifetime, something like this happened.

If he hadn't given everyone an explanation, there would still be so many family members of his colleagues who needed to take responsibility in the future, Xiong Rushan would have really wanted to commit suicide to apologize.

When Fang Che came back, Xiong Rushan came immediately.

Neither Zhao Shanhe nor An Ruoxing came.

Obviously, it is Fang Che's business how to deal with his own men. They won't ask.

"Why are you crying?"

Fang Che frowned: "If you're a man, stand up and talk! What does it look like to cry?"

Asking the two to stand up, Fang Che said calmly: "I just came back from the Heroes' Soul Ancestral Hall. I offered a stick of incense for my brothers."

Upon hearing these words, the two of them suddenly looked even more uncomfortable.

Fang Che said slowly: "As for the family members and pensions of the comrades who died in the battle, are they in place?"

"It's all in place."

Yin Guotang said in a low voice: "Lao Xiong and I sold off our property and made some extra money."

"Just the two of you, how much more can you add?"

Fang Che snorted and said: "In this way, in addition to the regular pension for the sacrifice of our brothers and sisters from the southeast headquarters of the Guardian, each household will receive an additional five thousand taels of silver. This is one of them."

"In addition, those whose family members are employed will be promoted by one level and their salary will be raised by two levels. Second."

"Those whose parents and elders are still alive will receive a monthly consolation payment of fifty taels, and an extra portion of body conditioning medicine every year. Until the end of the year. This is the third one."

"Children are raised, and those without martial arts qualifications are given a lump sum of money when they reach adulthood and get married... During their lifetime, as long as they do not do evil, they are not allowed to be bullied; if they are unemployed, they are assigned a job to support their families. Those with martial arts qualifications, we are like this ...This is the fourth one.”

"All those who died, including those who died before and after, are registered. Our people are ordered to be divided into groups and checked and reported year by year. This cannot be ignored."

These things have been brewing in Fang Che's mind for countless times.

Now I can speak it very fluently.

The more Xiong Rushan and Yin Guotang listened, the warmer their hearts became. They couldn't help saying, "Mr. Fang, this is great, but such a huge expense..."

"I'll figure it out, you don't have to worry about it."

Fang Che said decisively: "In the future, even if I leave this position and stop doing it, I will leave enough money and resources for a hundred years to cover the expenses of special operations for this matter."

"As for the latecomers no matter how far back they are, I can't control that much."

Fang Che said calmly.

"Thank you, Mr. Fang!"

Xiong Rushan and Yin Guotang both burst into tears of gratitude, their voices trembling.

Both of them were convinced.

Since ancient times, who can do what Fang Che said? The two of them searched their hearts and couldn't find the second person.

"Finished with the pension."

Fang Che said solemnly: "Now let's talk about the faults of the two of you. This time, I was not here, and the two of you were able to make such mistakes. This really shocked me, two former chiefs! This time His ability really impressed me.”

The two of them lowered their heads, ashamed.

"It's really unprecedented that corpses are served to you."

Fang Che was very angry.

The two men lowered their heads.

"What's the point of beating you, punishing you, and killing you in terms of losses? Seven hundred and sixty-seven brothers can survive? What's the use of you seeking death and survival?"

Fang Che slapped the table: "But you two, please remember that in the future, any casualties in our two departments, brothers' families, will all fall on you. Within two hundred years, if any family is killed Those who are bullied, those who cannot survive, those whose lives are difficult..."

Fang Che looked at the two of them coldly: "Do you understand?"

"clear!"

"Just keep doing this for a long time. Remember, this is work! It is also atonement!"

Fang Che said: "Do you understand?"

"Understand!"

The two of them looked obviously relieved.

After driving the two of them out to work, Mr. Fang sat in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking carefully, it is said that it is better to use one's merits than to use one's faults. With the cultivation of Yin Guotang and Xiong Rushan, as long as nothing unexpected happens, they will have no problem living for another eighteen hundred years. Let them keep doing this with this guilty heart. One thing will be more important than others. In this way, the families of the heroes who died in the battle will not have any problems in their lives. This is a long-term plan.

It is also Fang Che who is paving a long life path for the family members of his colleagues who have lost their mainstay.

Sitting on the chair, Fang Che frowned and thought. For a short period of time, he felt calm.

Fang Che looked at the scenery outside and felt vaguely that he seemed to have forgotten something.

After thinking about it, he grabbed the communication jade and contacted Mo Ganyun, Dongyunyu and Qiuyun: each of them should hand over one billion in silver as soon as possible. From now on, one billion per person per year.

Fang Che calculated the number of one billion. These three guys definitely don't have it, but what these three guys have is far more than one billion.

Besides, if you keep robbing the rich and giving to the poor, one billion is pretty easy.

Sure enough, the three of them replied: "No problem!"

Didn't even ask him what he was doing.

This is the advantage of having a high level of cultivation. It is indeed too easy to get money.

For example, if Fang Che and others just take two pieces of high-grade spiritual crystals that are inconspicuous, ordinary people and wealthy families will spend tens of millions to take them and treasure them as family heirlooms, and they have the effect of prolonging life.

Although the world is big and there are many warriors, the market for ordinary people is still the largest.

Take jade as an example. Ordinary people can choose from low-quality, medium-quality, high-quality, top-grade, and top-quality jade. The above are low-grade spiritual crystals, medium-grade, top-grade, and top-grade...

Not to mention ordinary people, even ordinary warriors will never see a single high-grade spiritual crystal in their entire life.

Just because Fang Che and others have all begun to practice with the best spiritual crystals does not mean that the best ones are common.

The grades of these jade are actually, to a certain extent, the grades of people. If you don’t have a high class, you will never be able to contact him. Even if you hear it, you will blush for a long time: Bragging! You are just bragging! There is no such thing as the best in the world...

Therefore, the more those people like gong, it just means that this person has never eaten any good pork in his life.

Share your work among Mo Ganyun and the others, and then think about arranging for them to do the same after Yu Zhongge and others come out. This shortfall can be made up, and it can also provide a large part of the income for Nirvana Martial Academy. .

Mr. Fang himself still hands off the shopkeeper and just needs to sit back and wait for the money to come.

After arranging this matter, I sat down and thought about it, but I still felt that there was something unfinished.

This is surprising.

Fang Che stared and thought for a long time, but couldn't remember.

What else have I forgotten?

Fang Che was very puzzled. I had clearly thought about everything. How could I forget something like this?

But Mr. Fang has the biggest advantage, that is, since I can't think of it, I won't think of it for the time being.

Anyway, whatever I forget, the forgotten one will always come to me.

There is nothing wrong with this, to be honest.

Nothing happened, and then Fang Che simply called everyone from the inspection, law enforcement, and war hall departments together for a meeting.

Announce one thing: "The assessment will be tomorrow!"

Performance, merit, cultivation.

According to the previous roster, everyone must be assessed!

The rewards and punishments were announced in Yin Guotang according to Mr. Fang's wishes, and immediately there was a cry of mourning.

Yin Guotang and Xiong Rushan had just made a mistake, and it was Mr. Fang who reached out and pulled them out of doom. Now we are implementing 10,000% of President Fang's instructions and we firmly support them.

The assessment has been decided.

And we have to think about it tomorrow. We don’t even have time to prepare. It’s really a surprise attack.

Everyone is like mourning for a heir, and it is estimated that few will be able to pass this round of tests.

The ensuing roars from the chief and the deduction of benefits made everyone miserable when they thought about this.

Mr. Fang finished making arrangements and went home in style.

Behind the scenes are the sad eyes of countless subordinates...

But Mr. Fang didn't care about this. Since Mr. Fang took office, everyone's life has become much better. Not only have their salaries and benefits increased a lot, but they also often receive additional benefits, which are quite huge.

It’s time to make these guys feel uncomfortable!

"I'm always too kind."

Mr. Fang thought in his mind.

Zhao Shanhe soon learned about Fang Che's pension status for his subordinates, and immediately called the chief financial officer: "Mr. Fang has taken action. We will leave the extra ones we are planning to take out. It will be a one-time use. If you give out too much, it will bring trouble to the brothers' families. Let's look at using medicinal materials to refine low-level enlightenment exercises to support physical strength, and find an opportunity to give them to the family members."

The Treasurer nodded.

This side is already prepared. If Fang Che doesn't make any move, Zhao Shanhe will make up for it. The fact that Southeast Headquarters has been so poor for so many years is also the result of Zhao Shanhe's doing this all the time.

But as Fang Che said: There is no way. If your brother is here, you can take care of your family well. If your brother is not here, then you, the eldest brother, must take responsibility. You can't let the hero sacrifice his life and make life difficult for your family, right?

"Life is hard... When will the continent return to peace? When the time comes, I will resign from my job and go home to live a small life..." The chief financial officer looked longingly.

"Soon, soon."

Zhao Shanhe murmured: "When the time comes, we will be neighbors."

"good!"

A smile appeared on the round face of the chief financial officer, and then he said with disgust: "It's just that you are very poor. If you are a neighbor, I will probably be paid for by you every day."

Zhao Shanhe laughed loudly: "That's it!"

…

Fang Che returned to Prince Fang's Mansion and had already made a decision in his heart. He would go to Cuizhuyuan to see Feng Han's house in the evening.

Then I went to the old thief to discuss it. The New Year is coming soon, and after the New Year, the little guys must enter the martial arts academy.

Ye Meng is not here, and neither is Zhao Yinger.

Moreover, Ye Meng may stay at the headquarters and not come back this time. It’s okay if the little guys are left alone.

This is a big deal and must be grasped.

Then I have to go to Baiyun Continent to study with Li Changkong, Bing Shangxue and others about the enrollment of nine little guys.

See what level they are teaching? It's best to send it to them again, don't worry.

Mr. Fang was thinking about going through the back door, sitting in the study room, leaning forward and feeling comfortable.

He was playing with the best spiritual crystal in his hand, and as he played with it, bits of debris fell from the gaps between his fingers. He held the practice pill in his mouth, his body's skills were running independently, and his mind was wandering wildly.

I couldn't help but sigh: "As long as I don't go out to fight with those old foxes, life like this is quite comfortable."

is talking.

Suddenly, my eyes felt trance-like, top-heavy, and suddenly turned into a vast expanse of white.

A voice asked in his ear: "Who do you think is the old fox?"

Ouch...

Fang Che was suddenly surprised: "Master Xue?"

It felt like I had not seen it for a long time, and I came to Master Snow's domain again.

It's so...refreshing.

He said hurriedly: "I'm definitely not talking about you."

Xue Fuxiao was satisfied and said with a smile: "I can see that your words come from the heart."

"Of course!"

Fang Che nodded repeatedly.

Indeed, in my heart, Xue Fuxiao is still far from the word "old fox"...

Somewhat below the IQ level.

But Xue Fuxiao was obviously very happy. He felt that Fang Che was praising him for being aboveboard, so his expression softened a bit.

"This time I come to see you..."

After saying half a sentence, he looked around and was suddenly surprised: "How...how did you make such rapid progress? Are you already at the seventh level of the Saint level?"

Scratching his head, he was confused: "Two months ago, weren't you just..."

"I was lucky enough to encounter some strange encounters."

Fang Che grinned and said reservedly: "Didn't I go to help Yan Beihan last time? I happened to encounter Bing Tianxue performing Ice Sky Spirit Waterfall to provide benefits to Yan Beihan and others. I happened to be there and joined by the way. Go in."

"Tsk, tsk."

Xue Fuxiao didn't know what to say: "Can you squeeze in like this? It seems like you have a lot of luck."

He looked at Fang Che sideways and said, "Isn't it that Yan Beihan has fallen in love with you? Is this the case with you?"

Fang Che trembled and said, "Master Xue is joking, how is such a thing possible?"

Xue Fuxiao also felt that it was impossible. The identity gap between Night Demon and Yan Beihan was really too big.

So he just made a joke.

"Bing Tianling Waterfall."

Xue Fuxiao sighed and said: "I have always wanted to kill Bing Tianxue just for this Ice Sky Spirit Waterfall. This is really a huge influence that can deviate the strength of both parties. It's outrageous! "

Fang Che sweated.

"However, although Bing Tianxue and Madman Ji are members of the Solipsism and can be regarded as ancient demons, they have not done many evil deeds."

Xue Fuxiao said: "Besides, your ninth master obviously has a plan on Madman's Halberd. I can't destroy it for him. I have no choice but to seriously injure Bing Tianxue again and again..."

After finishing speaking, he sighed, looking a little entangled, and said: "In the past few thousand years, Bing Tianxue has been seriously injured by me hundreds of times... If I really wanted to kill him, I would probably kill him at least twenty or thirty times."

Fang Che's eyebrows twitched.

Thinking of the graceful and beautiful Bing Tianxue, who was seriously injured by Xue Fuxiao's knife time and time again...

No matter how I think about it, I feel that this picture is a bit inconsistent.

The reputation of being a ruthless man who destroys flowers is well-deserved.

"But your cultivation has improved too quickly, and your physical strength has not kept up." Xue Fuxiao began to point out Fang Che: "You need..."

Speaking of which.

He suddenly stopped with a serious look on his face: "Give me the Qiongxiao flower first."

"no problem."

Fang Che kept ten flowers for himself for emergencies, and gave the rest to Xue Fuxiao.

"Get it first, or I'll forget it again..." Xue Fuxiao was relieved.

"I also feel that my body is not good enough, and this time I've improved so much, my foundation is a bit unstable, but drinking Feng Yun's Tianwai Fengyun Tea doesn't work very well."

"It's okay."

Xue Fuxiao completed the task, and felt that he would not be scolded when he returned this time, so he was in a good mood.

"Come, I'll polish it for you!"
