The arrogant Li Jiayu would not be so cute

At that time, Chu Taihong's lower body had already been bitten off by legendary insects, and because too much vitality was burned, Chu Taihong had no chance of surviving. He supported his body with his arms, stood up halfway, and coughed. Xue said solemnly to Li Jiayu:

"After my death, there will be no more masters in Yongcheng..."

"not my business."

"Haha... If you come to save Yongcheng once, there will be a second time, and a third time... Li Jiayu, after I die, Yongcheng will be counting on you. You must not let the fire of millions of survivors in Yongcheng be extinguished like this..."

"dream!"

Li Jiayu replied forcefully, only to find that Chu Taihong had died. She didn't know whether Chu Taihong heard her reply...

From then on, Li Jiayu took over Chu Taihong's responsibility and became the patron saint of Yongcheng. Every time Yongcheng encountered an unstoppable swarm of insects and corpses, Li Jiayu would appear in the corner of Yongcheng, silently summoning the legendary Bone Dragon King, Lich King, and Death Shadow...

No one knows that Li Jiayu is the guardian of Yongcheng. They only think that there is some internal strife in the abyss world. Every time they save their lives, they will think that it is luck, but they don't know that it is theirs who really saved their lives. The despised murderer...

Therefore, there is a deep relationship between Li Jiayu and Chu Taihong. Now that they meet again, Li Jiayu can't help but feel a lot of emotion...

Chapter 31

Tit for tat

"Commander Chu, Li Jiayu has arrived!" the soldier shouted.

"Ah."

Chu Taihong nodded sullenly, just uttering such a word in his throat was full of truth and coercion, like a thunderclap, shaking the entire auditorium to buzz like rolling thunder.

His gaze was locked on Li Jiayu, and blue lightning flashed across his eyes, as if he wanted to see through Li Jiayu's soul.

The brigadier generals and major generals sitting next to him also looked at Li Jiayu with complicated eyes, showing various expressions, surprise, surprise, amazement, curiosity, dissatisfaction, and so on.

Especially Lin Luanqiu, this guy did not wear military uniform pretending to be coquettish, but wore a blue and white Taoist robe, which was flamboyant and elegant, with a hairpin on his head to tie his hair up. He looked like a young Taoist priest.

At this time, Lin Luanqiu was smiling and staring at Li Jiayu without blinking, like looking at a rare treasure.

"You are Li Jiayu?"

Chu Taihong's voice roared.

"That's right, it's me." Li Jiayu said neither humble nor overbearing, without feeling restrained at all.

"Very good, did you kill the Heitian Demonic Worm?"

Chu Taihong stood up, walked directly from the table to Li Jiayu, leaned forward slightly, his eyes almost spewed out lightning, just like a destructive thunder god, the coercion emanating from it increased tenfold, frightening Kikyo and Yang Xuyan behind Li Jiayu stopped their progress.

"That's right, it's me." Li Jiayu nodded, looked into Chu Taihong's eyes, and said expressionlessly.

"Very good! It really is a hero born a boy, and even I am no match for a monster like the Heitian Moworm, but it was killed by you, Ran Hongxia and others. This requires not only strong strength, but also amazing fighting awareness and fighting methods!"

"It's just luck. If it happens again, the outcome will be unpredictable."

Li Jiayu said lightly, she is not humble, but the strength of the Heitian Demonic Worm is already on par with ordinary lord-level insects, if it is not because it underestimates the enemy and reveals too many flaws, the Black Sky Demonic Worm will never die in her hands aggrieved.

"There is no need to be modest. Ran Hongxia has already told me a thing or two about the battle with the Heitian Demonic Insect. You are a fighting genius, and even I will bow down to you..."

Chu Taihong clapped his hands, sat back and looked at Li Jiayu approvingly.

This young man really has an extraordinary temperament, and he is calm and composed under his pressure. He is worthy of being the true leader of the people of the two cities.

"Come here, Li Jiayu, this is the medal of the brigadier general, and the military robe over there is specially made for you, are you satisfied with it?

Heh, last night, the people of the scientific research institute processed it overnight and used a lot of precious insect skins to make it. Maybe the defense is a bit shabby, but this set of military robes has a magic pattern that is warm in winter and cool in summer. It is very comfortable to wear... huh?Could it be that you are dissatisfied with the level of the brigadier general? "

Li Jiayu followed Chu Taihong's gaze to look at the military robe on the table next to him. It was also a white navy military uniform similar to the one dyed red, and there were some fine ribbons on the hem, which was very beautiful.

But... this set of military robes is clearly for women only, and it is very suitable for Ran Hongxia to wear, but Li Jiayu is not even willing to publicly admit her identity as a woman, so how could she accept this kind of military robe?

"Commander Chu, one size counts for one size..." Li Jiayu will not give in easily, even if she doesn't want this rank, she can't openly wear women's clothing to show her image in front of everyone in Yongcheng, otherwise, what is this, a routine to save Yongcheng and become a city idol?

"Huh? Do you feel unbalanced in your heart? That's right, you have made great achievements in battle, and you have eliminated the great threat of the Black Sky Demon Insect in Yongcheng, even if you are promoted to a major general, it is more than enough.

However, since you are new here, you don't know many things about Yongcheng, so you will be a brigadier general first, and after you fully integrate into the big family of Yongcheng, the rank of major general will naturally come naturally..." Chu Taihong said.

"For various reasons, I personally do not accept women's clothing. Of course, more importantly, I, Li Jiayu, do not intend to accept military ranks."

Chu Taihong fell silent immediately, not only him, but also the group of senior officers behind him were all stunned, looking at each other in blank dismay, the huge auditorium was silent, and a needle could be heard.

Li Jiayu looked around with sharp eyes, unreservedly released her battle-tested aura, and most of the brigadier generals were oppressed by her aura and dared not look at her at all.

'This... this momentum is even stronger than Commander Chu, and the evil spirit is stronger than Commander Chu by more than 01:30! '

Lin Luanqiu was secretly shocked. He thought Li Jiayu last night had already surprised him enough, but he didn't expect to surprise him today.

"Li Jiayu, can we discuss any conditions? For a talent like you, if you don't want to join a good army, why don't you still want to run a Demon Hunt Squad?"

Chu Taihong held back for a long time before waking up like a dream, and tried to persuade him.

At most, he thought that Li Jiayu would only bargain on the issue of remuneration, but he didn't expect that Li Jiayu would directly drop the pick, which made him a little embarrassed. If he couldn't keep Li Jiayu, he would be greatly disappointed, especially in the hearts of the citizens of the two cities.

"Jiayu, why don't you join the army, the benefits of the army are very good, and the combat atmosphere is also very good, there are many benefits for you to join the army..."

Ran Hongxia reminded in a low voice behind Li Jiayu that, like Li Banyue, she very much hoped that Li Jiayu would also become a general, and then she and Li Jiayu could get along day and night and advance and retreat together.

"Brigadier General Ran is right. The benefits in the army are excellent, and the power of the brigadier general is also extremely high. He can mobilize a lot of supplies and troops. What reason do you have to refuse?" Chu Taihong frowned.

"It's just that I don't want to join the army. I don't want to be restricted by the rules and regulations of the army. I prefer freedom. I can do whatever I want..." Li Jiayu said with a blank expression.

In terms of emotion and reason, it is impossible for Chu Taihong to let any major force escape from the control of the army, not to mention that he also appreciates Li Jiayu, not only that, but out of an inexplicable feeling, he even thinks that Li Jiayu has enough potential to take over Yongcheng.

"Li Jiayu, I am very optimistic about you. Don't miss your future. Even if it's not for treatment, you should also think about the citizens of the two cities you lead..."

Speaking of this, Chu Taihong paused, looked at Li Jiayu's face meaningfully, and said firmly:

"My opinion is here. Today, you must agree! A talent like you must enter the army!"

Chapter 32

The art of compromise

"What if I say no?"

"That's against me, Chu Taihong!" Chu Taihong clasped his hands into fists while Chu Taihong was speaking, and two balls of lightning condensed on the surface of the fist, like thousands of silver snakes scurrying at high speed, sending out crackling thunderclaps. Voice.

"If you are right, you are right, so what! Are you going to kill me here?" Li Jiayu smiled jokingly, and looked at Chu Taihong closely without any worries.

She knew the character of Thunder God Chu Taihong too well. Except for the small disadvantage of good face, this middle-aged man has all the advantages. He is selfless, upright, kind to his subordinates, and able to distinguish right from wrong. It is impossible for a person like him to do something to Li Jiayu just because of a trivial matter.

Chu Taihong and Li Jiayu looked at each other for a few breaths, and when he found that Li Jiayu was standing still under the coercion he released with all his strength, he could only sigh:

"What exactly do you want to join the army? As a leader who led more than 50 people to escape from birth, your commanding ability and charisma are unquestionable. The army urgently needs talents like you. Once you become a general, you will definitely greatly boost the morale of many soldiers and officers. This will be of great benefit to the entire city of Yong. It would be a waste not to be a general."

Chu Taihong spoke very sincerely. In fact, everything Chu Taihong has done since meeting him is from the perspective of Yongcheng.

He thinks that Li Jiayu is very important to Yongcheng, and thinks that Li Jiayu, who can kill the black sky demon insect, is an indispensable talent. Coupled with her unique appearance advantage, it is really suitable to be used as the signboard of Yongcheng, so today he is determined to ask Li Jiayu to join.

Li Jiayu finally saw Chu Taihong give in, and she was relieved. She pretended to ponder for a long time, then raised her head and said, "It's not impossible to join the army, but you have to promise me two conditions."

"Say."

Li Jiayu raised her head, looked at Chu Taihong lightly, and said:

"First, I am a free man, and I can do whatever I want. I have the right not to obey the military's mandatory orders. Don't recruit me for military meetings, assembly, training, etc. You can communicate important things by yourself; second, what I have gained The spoils of war must belong to me completely, and of course, as compensation, I will also do my part when monsters attack the city."

Li Jiayu's two requests can be said to be very excessive, as if he didn't join.

Chu Taihong frowned, but heard the officers behind him discussing:

"He doesn't even listen to the orders of the army, and enjoys the loot all to himself, and he doesn't have the slightest discipline... Such a person, even if he is a genius, it doesn't make any sense to join the army."

"Yeah, that's too much. Relying on your own strength and being pretty, you're just so defiant? Who does she think she is? Commander Chu's mother?"

A trace of hesitation flashed across Chu Taihong's face, apparently he was in a battle between heaven and man, weighing the pros and cons, his eyes swept over Li Jiayu, Ran Hongxia, Lin Luanqiu, and the rest of the major generals one after another. After a while, Chu Taihong relaxed slightly. He took a breath and said:

"Okay, I promise you!"

As soon as this remark came out, the major generals behind immediately exploded, trying to dissuade Chu Taihong.

But Chu Taihong has made up his mind, so naturally he will not change it, he just added:

"But the rights and responsibilities are equal. You can only serve as a temporary post in the army. You cannot use specific benefits and rights. In addition, we need you to cooperate with the propaganda. Of course, specific matters will not delay your time."

The implication is that Li Jiayu is just a general in honor, she has no title, and the officials can use her reputation to appease hundreds of thousands of people in the two cities.

With such a calculation, in fact, the two parties each get the reputation they need. As for the specific rights, Li Jiayu does not ask for it.

Now, the group of major generals felt relieved.

Li Jiayu nodded, and then said:

"Rather than joining the army, it's better to say that we have an equal partnership. That's right, let's put the military uniforms there. If there is nothing else, I will leave."

"Hey, put on your military uniform. From today on, you will be our major general in Yongcheng."

Chu Taihong took out the major general's medal and epaulettes from nowhere, took off all the brigadier general's badges, and motioned Li Jiayu to put them on.

Li Jiayu frowned helplessly. Chu Taihong probably thought that she was dissatisfied with the treatment, which caused her resistance, but in fact, she really didn't want to wear such feminine clothes.

"What? Major General? Didn't you say he was Brigadier General!"

At this time, the group of major generals in the back couldn't calm down anymore. They had made great contributions to Yongcheng, but it was too unfair for Li Jiayu, a newcomer, to be promoted to major general on the first day.

The glory of a major general is greater than that of a brigadier general. One must know that there are only seven or eight major generals in the entire city of Yong.

"I said it was a major general, so it must be a major general. Do you have any objections?"

Chu Taihong turned his head, his ferocious gaze slowly swept across the faces of the major generals, staring straight at them like a lion and a tiger, making people feel scalp numb, those major generals immediately closed their mouths, No further comments.

On the contrary, Lin Luanqiu became excited. At this time, he was staring at Li Jiayu fiercely, as if he couldn't get enough of it, even if Li Jiayu had threatened him with his eyes many times, he still looked after him.

"It's impossible for me to wear a military uniform. I don't have any objections to you. However, I still won the major general's medal."

"That's good...cough, I still have something to say, can you trade the worm crystal of the black sky demon worm to me? With that worm crystal, I can break through the limit of the peak of the third pole, and hit the lower level of the fourth level... ..."

It was just now that Chu Taihong made great use of convenience, and now is the time when Chu Taihong put forward his request. With the affection just now, Li Jiayu can't refuse anything.

Seeing that Li Jiayu didn't reply immediately, Chu Taihong added:

"Yesterday, with the assistance of Brigadier General Ran, our army severely wounded the Headless Horseman and obtained its weapon, Fang Tian's painting halberd at the peak of the third level. Is this an appropriate exchange?"

Chu Taihong felt that the meritorious service was not enough to impress Li Jiayu, so he further increased his chips.

"Hey, Commander Chu doesn't need to worry too much. Fang Tian's painted halberds are not in my needs. It's just that if there are new treasures in Yongcheng in the future, I can exchange them first, and that's enough."

Li Jiayu originally kept the worm crystals of the black sky demon worm in preparation for future summons, but now that Chu Taihong just sold himself a big face, it's hard to get him off the hook.

However, worm crystals are just worm crystals after all, so they are not as magical as imagined.

Chu Taihong's talent is not amazing. In his previous life, he was not even a quasi-legend. It is impossible for a person like him to break through to the fourth level with a mere worm crystal. At most, he can only improve his strength a little and speed up his upgrade.

If calculated according to the income, it would be a waste to give this worm crystal to Chu Taihong, so Li Jiayu didn't agree immediately.

Chapter 33

Another crisis

"Okay, okay! With a person like Major General Li who understands the general situation, why worry that Yongcheng is not prosperous!"

Hearing Chu Taihong's praise, many major generals beside him couldn't help rolling their eyes. You know, just now Li Jiayu and Chu Taihong were at war with each other.

"Oh, the one behind you is the Kikyo who fought side by side with Commodore Ran yesterday, she is really a heroine, but it's a pity that she walked too fast yesterday, and I haven't had time to reward her."

Although Kikyo agreed to Ran Hongxia's invitation yesterday, she was still worried about Li Jiayu. As soon as the battle was over, she returned to the temporary residence of Xijiang University. But at that time, Chu Xiang and others had already left, and she inadvertently missed the opportunity to meet her parents.

"From today, I will call you Colonel Kikyo. Of course, all your achievements will be recorded. Yongcheng will never treat everyone who makes contributions badly."

After speaking, Chu Taihong chatted a few more words, and under the introduction of Ran Hongxia, he learned that Kikyo was originally a witch from another world, and he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

"Huh? That young man in the back, are you also the inheritor of the Lightning Department?"

After Chu Taihong said a few words, he noticed Yang Xuyan. At this time, Yang Xuyan was very different from two months ago, and the immaturity before had receded a lot.

His whole body has become sharp now, his body is tall and strong, his eyes are piercing, as if thunder and lightning are brewing, he doesn't look like a junior high school student at all, but like a college student.

"Yes! I am a magician of the Thunder Department, and I was promoted to the second-level high-level ten days ago!" Yang Xuyan stood upright and said a little excitedly.

Chu Taihong looked Yang Xuyan up and down, nodded and said: "You seem very young, how old is this year?"
