Godslayer: My Girlfriend Red Tassel

After the War of the Gods, Cangnan became one of the most mysterious and rarest cities in the entire Great Xia Dynasty. Therefore, the 136th Squad usually had a relatively leisurely life and it was common for them to be away from Cangnan for ten days or half a month.

Normally, only three or four people need to stay to guard the area.

But this time it was different from the past; not a single one was spared, and they were all caught in one fell swoop.

The next morning,

The entire team, escorted by another team, departed from Cangnan and entered the headquarters in Shangjing, where they were immediately placed in quarantine.

It's less about escorting and more about escorting and controlling the situation to prevent any information from being leaked.

At this moment, Squad 136 sat together, but Hongying was the only one missing.

Chen Muyi rested his chin on his hands, still in a daze.

He recently resided in Beijing, which is closest to headquarters, so he was the first person in the team to be "caught" and placed in quarantine.

Just last night, Chen Muyi was taking a shower and singing in the bathroom, thinking about cuddling his wife to sleep later, when a group of night watchmen suddenly burst in, grabbed him and took him away, almost scaring him to death.

Chen Muyi finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Wu Xiangnan's account.

"So, it's not because of Lao Wu? I thought you'd made a huge blunder, committed a fundamental error, and were about to be executed!"

"Please, please wish me well." Wu Xiangnan raised her hand to her forehead, gently shook her head, and said earnestly with a more serious expression:

“We’re all family, so I won’t hide anything. Hongying got the position of candidate because I recommended her with my own quota. But as you all know, I didn’t dare to make the decision on my own. I was following Commander Ye’s orders and had no choice in the matter.”

"Why did Commander Ye choose Mu Touying?" Tian Ling asked, her eyes wide with surprise.

"In terms of seniority, Xiaoying is far behind the other candidates, and her abilities are also weak, not to mention her young age..."

The message brought by Wu Xiangnan clearly stated that, apart from Hong Ying and Xia Simeng, most of the other candidates were either top ten team captains or seasoned frontline generals. These people were all over forty years old on average, experienced, and highly qualified, and their strength was mostly comparable to that of a "Klein".

Compared to them, Hongying was just a greenhorn.

“Age and ability are not the key factors. Commander Ye has made it clear before that the selection of candidates only depends on talent. Although most of those competitors are at the ‘Klein’ level, Hongying is currently very talented and will inevitably surpass them in the future, so youth is actually a plus.”

Wu Xiangnan said slowly:

"As for seniority... everyone always thinks that seniority means being older and having a wider network of connections. But think about it carefully, can you imagine just how vast Hongying's network of connections is right now?"

The eyes of everyone in Squad 136 lit up simultaneously.

Yes, Hongying has good friends! Her good friends' connections are her connections too.

With Su Yan's current status in the Great Xia Dynasty, he can invoke the gods above and has students all over the world below. With such qualifications, he is more than qualified to help Hong Ying rise to power!

Those present,

Apart from the crude Zhao Gou Xiong and Tian Ling, who would bury someone at the slightest disagreement, the others were all intelligent people who immediately understood what Ye Fan was up to.

Leng Xuan exclaimed, "As expected of the cunning Commander Ye, he really killed multiple birds with one stone."

"Actually, there's not much point in discussing these things now. Everything depends on Hongying's wishes. This competition for candidates is based on a task-based contest. If Hongying is unwilling, she can simply remain inactive and not compete, and she will be automatically eliminated."

As Wu Xiangnan spoke, she looked at Si Xiaonan and asked, "Xiaonan, you spent the whole day with Hongying yesterday. What was her attitude?"

Si Xiaonan sighed softly, resting her chin on her hand: "I was actually quite worried about Sister Hongying. At first, she resolutely refused, and even her master's persuasion was to no avail. But then Commander Ye made a phone call, and I don't know what he said, but it made her change her mind and stop objecting."

"...A cunning and treacherous old fox!"

"Old monks are still the most cunning!"

……

It was January, and the sky darkened quickly, the twilight as black as ink, rapidly spreading across the entire world.

At this moment, the Night's Watch headquarters conference room was brightly lit, and the thirteen chairs symbolizing power and status were neatly arranged in the council chamber.

Above, seven candidates waited quietly.

Hongying's eyes darted around, but she didn't dare to openly scrutinize everyone; she could only cautiously observe them out of the corner of her eye.

Of the seven candidates, she only knew three of them.

They were Shao Pingge, the captain of the Shangjing Squad; Han Qing, the deputy captain of the 007 Squad; Xia Simeng from the Phoenix Squad; and the other four middle-aged men, all burly and cold-blooded, rarely smiling. They were said to be battlefield officers who had just returned from the front lines.

When his gaze swept over Shao Pingge, the elder smiled and nodded, indicating that Hongying didn't need to be nervous.

In this competition among candidates, if you examine the thoughts of everyone present, you will find that Shao Pingge is the only one who has no intention of competing. He is just going through the motions in this competition.

After all, he was cultivated by Ye Fan and always followed Ye Fan's will. Whoever Commander Ye favored, he would support without reservation. This time, he was sitting here more as a "protector" to help the real candidates eliminate potential competitors in order to prevent any unexpected changes.

Han Qing's team had a friendly duel with [Nightfall] before, and afterwards visited Cangnan, where they also exchanged friendly smiles with Hong Ying.

Xia Simeng, on the other hand, seemed absent-minded, resting her chin on her hand and staring at the ceiling, occasionally chuckling silently, as if she were already dreaming of being a commander, pondering how to arrange her vacation.

"squeak--"

With trepidation, Ye Fan pushed open the door, walked in with her hands behind her back, followed by her male secretary, Zuo Qing.

The little monk found an empty chair, jumped on it, swung his legs, and scanned the room. When his gaze landed on Xia Simeng, his eyelids twitched: "Xia Simeng, why are you back? Where are your two hundred penguins?"

Xia Simeng sneered, her eyes full of certainty, and pointed into the courtyard:

"Ha, trying to stump me? Two hundred targets, not one missing, they're all in the truck. I've successfully completed my mission and brought them back!"

"?"

Ye Fan was somewhat stunned. Could penguins really be caught in the Arctic? What was going on?!

Zuo Qing coughed lightly, leaned close to Ye Fan's ear, and whispered an explanation. A moment later, Ye Fan's face darkened: "I told you to catch penguins, why did you catch a polar bear!"

"What polar bear? I don't understand what you're talking about." Xia Simeng raised her chin and said arrogantly:

"Anyway, the locals say it's a penguin. If you don't believe me, go ask them in the Arctic!"

"You, you... Zuo Qing, find a few more people and send them back tomorrow!"
