Lord of the night.

Chapter 830 Xue Fuxiao is here [Two in one]

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

Fang Che came all the way.

He originally wanted to go directly to the headquarters, but when he smelled the scent of incense and candles on the way, he suddenly felt something.

So they made a temporary turn and came to the Temple of Heroes.

First, I respectfully burned a few incense sticks to the old god.

"Teacher Shen, the child you cared about, the child you looked after, has grown up. Don't worry!"

Fang Che muttered silently to himself.

Now standing in front of the old man’s spirit, all the past events flashed through my mind.

Just like a book, turning page by page until the page where the old man died.

Finale.

He couldn't help but take a long breath, raised his head, and stared at the ten words "The Spiritual Position of the Mainland's Hero Shen Zhixuan". Amid the smoke of incense, he could vaguely see the wrinkled face of the old man Shen, smiling at him.

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

Because of the burning smoke, it was like the old man's divine gaze enveloping his whole body, 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 sounds of footsteps coming from the side.

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

After burning incense at the Shrine of Heroes, the mother and her two sons quickly found the spirit tablet that needed to be worshipped. It seemed that she had been here many times and was already familiar with the location of the spirit tablet.

A new stick of incense is lit.

"Kowtow to Daddy."

The woman spoke softly to the two children.

Immediately, the sound of two children kowtowed their heads.

The woman's eyes were slightly swollen, and she stared blankly at the name on the memorial tablet.

The expression on her face was like smoke and a dream.

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

The woman murmured and sighed slowly.

Fang Che turned around and burned incense for the other heroic souls, as well as for the more than 700 of his subordinates who had died in this battle.

"Is it Chief Fang?"

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

Fang Che was stunned for a moment. He didn't know this woman, who was only at the level of a martial arts commander. He frowned and said, "You are..."

"My late husband was Hu Zhicheng from the War Hall." said the woman.

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

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

The woman said softly.

Fang Che turned his head and looked at Hu Zhicheng's memorial tablet. He suddenly felt heavy in his heart and asked softly, "Is everything okay at home? Are there any difficulties?"

"No difficulty."

The woman whispered, "I, my cultivation is not as good as Zhicheng's, but I am also a martial arts commander, and I have a position in the headquarters' finance department. I can raise my children and take care of my parents, so I don't have any problems in life."

After the two children kowtowed, they ran over and looked at Fang Che with great anticipation.

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

The two children's eyes suddenly shone with dazzling light. 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.

Be serious, solemn and meticulous.

The little face lights up.

It can be seen that these two children must have calluses on their ears from hearing Fang Che's name so many times.

The woman said in embarrassment: "The child is ignorant and calls me by the wrong name... Please forgive me, sir."

Fang Che smiled and said, "I am just a pure child, so why should I be surprised?"

He squatted down and helped the two children up, saying, "What handsome children they are. They are very strong. You can tell at a glance that they are two real men."

The two boys immediately pursed their lips in embarrassment. They wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to because this was the ancestral hall.

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

The two boys' eyes lit up and they 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 always believed in and kill the evil demon!"

Fang Che was stunned for a moment.

These words don't sound like something a child would say. He praised, "Good boy!"

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

Fang Che exhaled and stood up straight.

Suddenly I felt heavy in my heart.

He whispered, "The child has such aspirations, and we, as elders, must support him. The child has good roots, and must be nurtured well."

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

Then he took out two small pieces of colored crystal, rubbed them together, 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, so give it to the child as a gift, and let the child wear it with him in the future."

The woman was shocked: "Boss Fang, this is too expensive!"

“No matter how valuable it is, it is not as important as the future of my child.”

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."

He turned around, lit a stick of incense and placed it in front of Hu Zhicheng's spirit 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 child."

Two pieces of colored crystals, worn by two children, naturally nourish the body only secondary; the real benefit is the cleansing of the Infinite Sutra.

It's not that Fang Che doesn't want to give more, but this woman only has the cultivation of a martial commander. It's okay to give it to a child without anyone knowing, but if you give too much, it will cause trouble.

The woman also knew that she had come here for a great opportunity. When she saw that the people burning incense around her didn't notice anything, she realized that it was Fang Che who did it. After thanking Fang Che, she hurriedly took her child and left quietly.

Fang Che burned incense for his subordinates who died in this battle.

The Temple of Heroes was filled with smoke, like a thick fog.

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

Although there are countless petty villains on this continent, it is gratifying that there are also countless heroes like this! Moreover, they are passed down from generation to generation.

I only saw two children this time, but there were more than just these two children left behind by the sacrificed brothers.
what about others?

These are the responsibilities that we living people must shoulder.

Walk slowly to the door.

With your back to the scent of incense and candles.

The caretaker of the Heroes' Shrine bowed slightly.

Fang Che stood in front of the door and asked softly, "Have the families of the three halls been here?"

“I’ve been here before.”

"Are there any complaints, grievances, or dissatisfaction?"

"none!"

The guard stood straight and spoke in a firm tone.

"They're all good!"

Fang Che said softly: "Don't let the hero's heart be chilled!"

The guard didn't know how to respond to this.

As my mind was turning, I looked up and found that there was smoke in front of me. Mr. Fang's handsome figure had disappeared without me noticing.

……

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

Xiong Rushan and Yin Guotang came to apologize with shame on their faces, especially Xiong Rushan, who had lost a lot of weight, his eyes were bloodshot, and he knelt on the ground, looking dispirited.

Because of his own mistake, the Guardians were forced into a brutal battle that they could have avoided, resulting in the sacrifice of more than 700 comrades.

This matter was like a huge mountain, pressing down on Xiong Rushan so hard that he couldn't even breathe.

After fighting for a lifetime, such a mistake occurred.

If it wasn't for the need to give an explanation to everyone and the fact that there were so many families of his comrades for whom he would have to take responsibility in the future, Xiong Rushan really wanted to commit suicide to make amends.

When Fang Che came back, Xiong Rushan came first.

Neither Zhao Shanhe nor An Ruoxing came.

Obviously, how Fang Che dealt with his own men was Fang Che's business. They would not ask.

"Why are you crying?"

Fang Che frowned: "If you are a man, stand up and speak! What does it mean to cry?"

Asking the two men to stand up, Fang Che said calmly, "I just came back from the Heroic Soul Shrine. I lit a stick of incense for the brothers."

Upon hearing this, the two of them looked even more uncomfortable.

Fang Che said slowly: "Have all the compensations for the families of our comrades who died in battle been paid?"

“It’s all in place.”

Yin Guotang said in a low voice: "Old Xiong and I sold our family property and got a little extra."

"How much can you two add?"

Fang Che snorted and said, "In this case, in addition to the regular compensation provided by the Southeast Guardian Headquarters, each household of our brothers and comrades who sacrificed their lives will receive an additional 5,000 taels of silver. This is one of them."

"In addition, those with employed family members will be promoted one level and their benefits will be increased two levels. Second."

"For those whose parents are still alive, a monthly condolence payment of fifty taels will be given, as well as an additional portion of medicine for conditioning the body each year. This will last until the end of their lives. This is the third."

"Children will be raised. Those without martial arts talent will be given silver in one lump sum when they grow up and start a family...As long as they do not commit crimes and are not bullied during their lifetime, the unemployed will be given a job to support their families. For those with martial arts talent, we will do this and that...This is the fourth."

"All the casualties, including those who died before and after, are registered. We are ordered to divide them into groups and check and report them year by year. This cannot be neglected."

Fang Che had no idea how many times he had thought about these things in his mind.

It sounds so fluent at this moment.

The more Xiong Rushan and Yin Guotang listened, the warmer their hearts became. They couldn't help but say, "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, I will leave enough silver and resources for a hundred years to cover the cost of special operations."

"As for those who come after me even further in time, I can't care so much."

Fang Che said calmly.

"Thank you, Mr. Fang!"

Xiong Rushan and Yin Guotang were both moved to tears with gratitude, their voices trembling.

Both of them were convinced.

Since ancient times, who could do what Fang Che said? The two searched their minds and couldn't find another person.

"That's all about the compensation."

Fang Che said grimly: "Now let me talk about your mistakes. This time, I was not here, but you two were able to make such a mistake. This really shocked me. You two former chief officers! Your ability really impressed me."

The two of them hung their heads, ashamed and embarrassed. "It is unprecedented that you have been so idle and idle as to be like this."

Fang Che was very angry.

They both 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 point of you seeking death?"

Fang Che slammed the table and said, "But you two, remember this. From now on, any casualties in our two departments and the families of our brothers will all fall on you. In the next two hundred years, if any family is bullied, can't survive, or lives in hardship..."

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

"understand!"

"Just keep doing this for the long term. Remember, this is work! It's also atonement!"

Fang Che said, "Do you understand?"

"Understand!"

The two of them looked much more relaxed.

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

He thought carefully, it is better to use their faults than their merits. With Yin Guotang and Xiong Rushan's cultivation level, there is no problem for them to live another thousand or eight hundred years unless there are any accidents. Let them keep doing this with a guilty conscience. They will care more about it 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.

Fang Che is also paving a long life path for the families of his comrades who have lost their pillars.

Sitting on the chair, Fang Che frowned and thought. For a short period of time, he was 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, Dong Yunyu and Qiu Yunshang: As soon as possible, each of you will hand over 1 billion silver. From now on, each person will hand over 1 billion silver every year.

Fang Che had calculated the number of one billion. These three guys definitely didn't have it, but the things on these three guys were far more than one billion.

Besides, if you keep robbing the rich and helping the poor, 1 billion is quite easy to make.

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

Didn't even ask him what it was for.

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

For example, if you take two pieces of the high-quality spiritual crystals that Fang Che and others look down upon, ordinary people and wealthy families will spend tens of millions to buy them as a family heirloom, which can also prolong life.

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

Take jade for example. Ordinary people play with low-quality, medium-quality, high-quality, top-quality, and top-quality jade. Above that are low-quality spirit crystals, medium-quality, high-quality, and top-quality...

Not to mention ordinary people, even some ordinary warriors may not be able to see a piece of top-grade spirit crystal in their entire lives.

The fact that Fang Che and others have all begun to use top-grade spirit crystals for cultivation does not mean that top-grade crystals are common.

The grade of these jades is actually, to some extent, the class of people. If you don’t have the class, you will never be able to touch them. Even if you hear about them, you will blush and say for a long time: bragging! You are just bragging! There is no such thing as the best in the world...

Therefore, the more people like to argue, the more it shows that they have never eaten good pork in their life.

He divided his work among Mo Ganyun and the other two, and then after Yu Zhongge and the others came out, he arranged for them to do the same. In this way, the deficit could be made up, and it could also bring more income to Nirvana Martial Arts Academy.

Mr. Fang is still the hands-off boss and all he has to do is sit back and wait for the money to come.

After arranging this matter, I sat down to think about it, but I still felt that something was not done.

This is surprising.

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

What else did I forget?
Fang Che was very puzzled. I had clearly thought about everything, so how could I forget something?

But Mr. Fang has one biggest advantage, that is, since I can’t remember it, I won’t think about it for the time being.

Anyway, no matter what I forget, the forgotten thing will always come back to me.

There is nothing wrong with this, to be honest.

Since there was nothing else to do, Fang Che simply called together all the people from the three departments of patrol, law enforcement, and war hall for a meeting.

Announce one thing: "Test tomorrow!"

Performance, merit, and accomplishment.

According to the previous roster, everyone must be assessed!

Yin Guotang announced the reward and punishment method according to Mr. Fang's wishes, and immediately there was a burst of wailing from the audience.

Yin Guotang and Xiong Rushan had just made a mistake, and it was Boss Fang who helped them out of this desperate situation. Now they were 100% committed to Boss Fang's instructions and supported them firmly.

The assessment has been determined.

And we have to think about it tomorrow, without even any time to prepare, so it's truly a surprise attack.

Everyone feels like they have lost their parents. It is estimated that few people can pass this round of assessment.

The ensuing roars from superiors and deductions in benefits were so painful that everyone felt like dying just thinking about it.

Mr. Fang finished his arrangements and went home in a leisurely manner.

Behind him were the resentful 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 salaries and benefits increased significantly, but there are also frequent additional benefits, and the amount is quite huge.

It's time to make these guys suffer!
“I’m always too kind.”

Mr. Fang thought to himself.

Zhao Shanhe soon learned about Fang Che's compensation for his subordinates, and immediately called the chief financial officer: "Boss Fang has made a move, so let's put the extra money aside for now. Giving out too much at once will cause trouble for the brothers' families. Let's see if we can replace it with medicinal herbs and refine low-level enlightenment pills to help with physical training, and find a chance to give it to the families."

The Chief Financial Officer nodded.

Everything is ready here. If Fang Che doesn't take any action, Zhao Shanhe will fill in. The reality that the Southeast Headquarters has been poor for so many years is also the result of Zhao Shanhe's doing this for many years.

But as Fang Che said: There is no other way. When my brother is here, I can take care of my family. When my brother is not here, I, as the eldest brother, must take responsibility. I can't let the family suffer after the hero sacrifices his life, right?
"Life is hard... When will this continent return to peace? When the time comes, I will quit my job and go home to live a simple life..." The Chief Financial Officer looked longing.

"Come on, come on."

Zhao Shanhe murmured, "When the time comes, we'll be neighbors."

"it is good!"

The financial director smiled, but then said disdainfully, "You're so poor. If I were your neighbor, I'd probably have to eat with you every day."

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

……

Fang Che returned to Prince Fang's Mansion, having already made a decision in his mind. He decided to go to Cuizhu Garden to see Feng Han's house in the evening.

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

Ye Meng is not here, and Zhao Ying'er is not here either.

And I'm afraid Ye Meng will stay at the headquarters and not come back this time, and the little ones cannot be left unattended.

This is a big deal and we must act quickly.

Then he would have to go to Baiyunzhou to discuss the schooling of the nine little guys with Li Changkong, Bing Shangxue and others.

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

Mr. Fang was thinking about how to get in through the back door in his mind. He sat in the study, leaning forward and looking very comfortable.

He was playing with a top-grade spirit crystal in his hand, and as he played with it, bits of it fell through his fingers. He had a martial arts elixir in his mouth, his body's skills were running autonomously, and his mind was full of wild ideas.

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

is talking.

Suddenly, my eyes became blurry, my head felt heavy and my feet felt light, and suddenly everything turned white.

A voice asked beside my ear: "Who do you say is the old fox?"

Oh hey...

Fang Che was immediately surprised: "Master Xue?"

It's been a long time since I last felt that I have returned to Lord Snow's territory.

It’s really...refreshing.

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

Xue Fuxiao was satisfied and smiled, "I can see that your words come from the heart."

"Of course!"

Fang Che nodded repeatedly.

Indeed, in his heart, Xue Fuxiao was still far from being an old fox...

It's a bit beyond my IQ.

But Xue Fuxiao was obviously very happy. He felt that Fang Che was praising his integrity, so his expression softened a little.

"This time, I came to see you..."

After saying half a sentence, he took a look and was immediately surprised: "How... have you improved so fast? You are already at the seventh level of the Saint level?"

He scratched his head, puzzled: "Two months ago, didn't you just..."

“It’s just some lucky chance encounter.”

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

"Tsk, tsk."

Xue Fuxiao didn't know what to say: "You can squeeze in like this? It seems like you are very lucky."

He squinted at Fang Che and said, "Could it be that Yan Beihan has a crush on you? Why would he bring you along for such a thing?"

Fang Che shuddered and said, "Master Xue, you are joking. How is this possible?"

Xue Fuxiao also felt that it was impossible, as the gap in status between Ye Mo and Yan Beihan was too great.

So he was just making a joke.

"Ice Sky Spirit Waterfall."

Xue Fuxiao sighed and said, "I have always wanted to kill Bing Tianxue just for this Bing Tian Ling Waterfall. This is really a huge influence that can cause the strength of both sides to deviate. It's too outrageous!"

Fang Che sweatdropped.

"However, although Bing Tianxue and Kuang Renji are members of the Solitary Orthodoxy and can be considered ancient demons, they have not committed many evil deeds."

Xue Fuxiao said, "Besides, your Ninth Master obviously has a plan for the Madman's Halberd, and I can't let him ruin it. I can only let Bing Tianxue be seriously injured again and again..."

After that, he sighed, looking a little conflicted, 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 have killed 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 again and again...

No matter how I think about it, this scene seems a bit incongruous.

His reputation of being ruthless and cruel is well-deserved.

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

Speaking of it.

Suddenly he stopped and said seriously: "Give me the Qiongxiao Flower first."

"no problem."

Fang Che kept ten for himself in case of emergency and gave the rest to Xue Fuxiao.

"Get it first, otherwise if you forget it again..." Xue Fuxiao felt relieved.

“This junior also feels that his physical body is insufficient, and this time he has improved so much that his foundation is somewhat unstable. However, drinking Feng Yun’s Tianwai Fengyun Tea is not very effective.”

"fine."

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

"Come, let me polish it for you!"
