Opening an office in Taila
Chapter 62 On the eve of the war
"Sister Shu, Sister Shu!" Song Yufeng re-entered the farmers' market and walked around for a long time before he found Shu.
"Song Yufeng? You look so anxious, what's wrong?"
"Evil demon! The traces of the evil demon were found a hundred miles to the north. Brother Chongyue and Senior Xiao have already gone to the Governor's Mansion. Let's go there quickly." Song Yufeng said quickly.
"What?! You're here so quickly?" Shu quickly put down the dishes he had picked, and then followed Song Yufeng all the way to the Governor's Mansion.
(Alarm sound) Just as Song Yufeng and Shu arrived at the Governor's Mansion, alarms suddenly sounded throughout the city. It seemed that an emergency response plan had already been discussed.
At this time, the Governor's Mansion was filled with busy staff members coming and going, the phone was ringing non-stop, and several generals were walking back and forth in a hurry.
Song Yufeng and the other person entered the office. At this time, the Governor of Yumen Pass was discussing the issue in detail with Old Man Xiao and Brother Zhongyue.
"You two are finally here." The governor said solemnly.
"What's the situation now?"
"The old Heavenly Master has personally gone to the northern defense line to conduct reconnaissance. The evil demons are likely to attack tonight or tomorrow. We should speed up all our deployments. I have ordered the entire city to enter a level one alert state, and all soldiers to enter combat mode."
"It seems I won't be able to sleep well today." Song Yufeng said with a wry smile.
"Ever since I learned that the evil demons were going to move south from the north, I haven't slept well, because I didn't know when they would come. But now, since I have discovered them, I feel like I can sleep more peacefully. But I can't sleep at all and fight them! I am the governor of Yumen Pass and I must be awake all the time! Secretary Tian, go send a notice and tell the reporting personnel below that if you have any news, knock on my office door immediately. I'm sitting here all the time." The governor said firmly.
"I admire the Governor's determination, but I don't know why you assigned me the task. After all, I am also a member of the Yumen Pass fighters. Why don't you let me contribute?" Zhong Yue said.
"Alas, Master Zhongyue, it's not that I don't want to assign you a task, but the Sima Tai. The Sima Tai has other arrangements, so they sent Shu this time, and the other fragments have other arrangements. The decisions of the central government and the Sima Tai are not something we can figure out, so Master Zhongyue, please be patient." The governor said sincerely.
Zhong Yue was obviously a little indignant, but he nodded and walked out.
"Everyone, once the evil demons launch an attack, I'll be leaving it to you." The governor looked at Song Yufeng and the others and said.
After Song Yufeng and the others bowed and took their leave, they temporarily returned to Shu's home and stayed there for one night. At ten o'clock in the evening, Song Yufeng tossed and turned in bed, but couldn't fall asleep. He always felt a little uneasy, so he got up, performed a breath-holding technique, and headed towards the northern city wall.
On the city wall, countless soldiers are ready to go, their eyes fixed on the distance, and everyone is very nervous. Song Yufeng stands on the city wall, looking at the thousands of lights that are still on in the city behind him, and suddenly feels a lot of emotion. In his previous life, he was an armed policeman, a policeman who protected the people. He didn't expect that in this life, he would once again protect the people of Yan State.
At this moment, Song Yufeng felt that his state of mind seemed to be different. Yes, the people in this world are all flesh and blood, and their lives are lives, not data in the game Arknights, but living lives. Since he is already living in this world, why not do his best to protect these living people? Just like in the previous life.
At this moment, he seemed to really agree with Jingyu's words about saving the world, but Song Yufeng was still rational. He told himself that there was no need to do so. His only wish was to rebuild the orphanage, then avenge the director, and then spend the rest of his life in the orphanage. This was his idea, and he was unwilling to do such a thankless task.
However, when he looked back at the lights of thousands of homes again, he heard the voice in his heart again, just like when he was a policeman, protecting lives and upholding justice, right?
"Thinking about life here." Just as Song Yufeng was still thinking, he heard the old Taoist priest's voice. She sat down beside him and said with a smile: "Then you'd better think about it quickly. When the fight starts, you might not have the chance to think."
"Old Heavenly Master has great magical powers. Don't you have the confidence to keep me safe?"
"It's hard to say, maybe I'll just abandon you."
"Well, it's a personal revenge, yes, but I don't want to die. After all, I still have a lot of unfinished business."
"For example?"
"For example, rebuilding the director's orphanage and avenging the director. Oh, and of course, I've never had a romantic relationship in this world."
"Do you have someone you like?"
"People I like? Haha, there are too many, too many. I can't even count them all." Song Yufeng laughed. Just kidding, just talking about those operators and those passers-by under the two-dimensional filter, Song Yufeng also likes them all.
"Hey~ You are really a playboy."
"It seems like you're very experienced. Eh, no, you should be very experienced in love. After all, you've lived such a long time, old master."
"Huh? What do you mean? You think I'm too old, don't you? Believe it or not, I'll rip your mouth off!"
"Okay, okay, you're young, okay? We're about to have a big fight, and I don't want to argue with you anymore. How about we stop talking about age and talk about your experience in love?"
"As for me, haha, actually, I've only ever dated one."
"Ah? Is that so?" This was really beyond Song Yufeng's expectations.
“And it didn’t work out in the end.”
"why?"
The old Taoist priest's expression suddenly darkened, then she smiled again and said, "I will dedicate my entire life, body and soul, to this beautiful country, its people, and its security. How can I give my body and soul to others?"
Song Yufeng was stunned. He didn't speak for a long time. The old Taoist priest just smiled calmly and said, "After all, I have guarded the border for so many years. I have developed feelings for the border. Now, if I really want to talk about lovers, there is only the border of Yan Country. As for my experience in love, it is to protect your lover and don't let outsiders invade."
Song Yufeng couldn't help but admire him. Although they had conflicts, Song Yufeng really admired him in this aspect, so he smiled and said, "This is really a great experience."
The old Taoist priest talked a lot tonight, probably because he was nervous about the upcoming battle. The two chatted a lot, and finally, they just walked on the city wall, chatting as they walked, until the sun slowly rose from the east. The golden sunlight shone on the earth, as well as on the soldiers' armor and weapons, which was a golden city wall.
