The second lieutenant looked over in the voice.

The head on the ground was beyond recognition, and the entire face was burned by flames. However, it seemed that this "burn" was not a big deal for him - because the smooth wound on the skull that ran across the face seemed to have taken his life early.

It was difficult to identify. But the lieutenant still looked carefully. At this time, other comrades in the armored vehicle also came out and held the gun in his hand tightly. It seemed that he was a little confused whether he should relax his guard when facing such a person - because this person killed hundreds of people in just over ten minutes, and those hundreds of people were actually their comrades ten minutes ago.

The second lieutenant also had this concern. It was not uncommon to shoot friendly troops on the battlefield, not to mention that General Li gave him such a cold and bloodthirsty feeling... it was as if there was a burst of anger in his heart waiting to vent, and these people happened to hit his gun.

So the lieutenant took a deep breath and walked forward tentatively. While staring at the head, he paid attention to Li Zhen's movements with his light.

But Li Zhen only looked up slightly, narrowed his eyes and looked north, as if he was listening to some sounds - such as whether there were still signs of gunfire, fighting, and large-scale resistance.

However, until now, probably no one will try to do a desperate attempt - it always takes courage and belief to do such things. But such a person, such a person who exceeds the limit of human imagination, appears on the battlefield - must have experienced such efficient and large-scale unilateral massacre, no one will have the idea of ​​resisting to the end.

Because this kind of thing always requires some reason to support it. However, it is a pity...

They are "rebels."

Li Zhen listened for a few seconds and turned his head again.

The second lieutenant's Yu Guang met his eyes and felt a stern. Because the gaze was so calm, there was no excitement or anger. It was as if in the past ten minutes, he had just brushed his fingers and squirted away the gray mark on his clothes.

So he gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "General, I can't recognize him."

Li Zhen frowned slightly, and the second lieutenant's heart tightened.

But then the other party just said "Oh" softly and pointed at the head: "Don't look like your brigade commander?"

The lieutenant was stunned and went to see the head again. At this time, the armored chariot behind him spoke: "Well... General, I seem to recognize it."

The man glanced at Li Zhen. Seeing that the other party had no other opinions, he stepped forward and squatted down in front of the head, stretched out his hand and plucked his head.

The head turned over and exposed his side face. There was a blue birthmark the size of a thumb on his cheek.

So the captain stood up with relief: "General, it's him. I've seen this birthmark before."

Li Zhen nodded: "Okay. The evil one is killed."

But what the lieutenant cares about was what he said just now - "Does it look like your brigade commander?"

Therefore, he took the words of the commander and spread his hands uneasily: "General, we... have already revolted."

Li Zhen looked at him in a blink of an eye. The second lieutenant subconsciously stepped on his heels, raised his chest, and the surroundings became quiet in an instant.

A few seconds later, Li Zhen glanced at the corner of his mouth slightly: "I remember you."

Then his eyes moved down: "A shot in the leg at that time?"

These invisible smiles were like a "pardon order" at this moment. The second lieutenant felt a heavy rock in his heart finally landed on the ground. He nodded quickly: "...Yes, you saved my life."

Li Zhen nodded slightly: "Good. Those who know the current affairs are heroes."

He looked at the others again, as if he knew their thoughts clearly: "Safe. I don't want to kill anyone again today."

The venue was still silent. But the lieutenant felt that he had heard the others clearly and almost let out a sigh of relief. The other party's next words made them feel more at ease: "These people here... are you."

Li Zhen pointed at the armored vehicle: "In addition, there are 32 vehicles in total, and you are responsible for it. Now you are the battlefield discipline troops. Let's set off immediately and maintain good order for me. When encountering rioters who disturb the people, they will be executed on the spot."

The second lieutenant opened his eyes slightly, but immediately saluted and said loudly: "Yes! Execute the order firmly!"

Li Zhen nodded, pulled up the spear inserted on the ground and disappeared into the distant building group after several jumps.

The battle came and went quickly. By noon, the corpses on the street had almost been collected and the fire caused by the battle had also been extinguished.

But the hearts of the people seem to be not stable. It does not refer to the hearts of the army, but to the hearts of the civilians. Many people are still huddling at home, worried about when they will hear the rumbling cannons and the sound of gunfire like beans. However, this worry did not last long - at around 3:00 pm, a considerable number of military vehicles drove onto the streets and conveyed a message to the citizens with the soundphones on board.

The traitor Xiao Heng has been punished on the spot, and all the rebels who attempted to split the empire have been killed. The empire's major general Li Zhen promised to restore urban order in the shortest time and cancel the mandatory labor law issued by the Yuzhou military government. The imperial law came into effect five years ago again. From now on, Yuzhou will no longer be Xiao Heng's Yuzhou, but Yuzhou of the empire. The people here are no longer Xiao Heng's "subjects" but "citizens" of the empire.

Such a verbal promise alone is not enough to calm people's hearts. Therefore, an hour later, the Yuzhou reserve warehouse was opened and a large amount of supplies were distributed to citizens.

No matter what kind of castles in the sky are, they are not as good as the real food and drinking water that are held in their hands. Therefore, by around 6 o'clock in the evening, someone finally took to the streets.

At first it was a whisper, and then it gathered into an increasingly vast torrent. Joy finally burst out from everyone's heart, and the entire city was shrouded in the joyful atmosphere in recent years. The name was repeatedly mentioned by more people, and some of his previous well-known or less-known stories were discovered.

For example, his youth, his strength, his stubbornness, his legendary experiences in the past.

In fact, many times, many people find it hard to believe that this youngest major general in the history of the empire is only twenty-five years old this year.

At this moment, Li Zhen was standing at the window on the third floor of the General's Mansion and was looking out the window.

The guard posts around the past have been removed, and now they have become a place for people to celebrate. Although many people are still wearing the so-called "labor uniforms" they used to be, at least they no longer have the numb and lifeless look on their faces.

The noise kept coming, and even the soundproof glass window could not completely filter out the joy from the bottom of my heart. Li Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "It finally looks a bit like it used to be."

Then he turned around and shook his head: "But... it's too easy to be happy."

"It's easy to understand. After all, it's been hard for too long - you have to know that most of these people have not been able to eat enough for three meals in the past few years." Pang Feihong grinned behind him, then looked down at the pile of documents on the table in front of him.

Li Zhen nodded, walked to the back of the table and sat down. He closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

This is one of Xiao Heng's offices - used to store more information. Currently, there are only two people, Li Zhen and Pang Feihong. Pang Feihong checked through a pile of documents for a while, and looked up at Li Zhen's face.

But Li Zhen had no expression on his face, as if he was really closing his eyes to rest.

So Pang Feihong thought for a while and said softly: "General, once the reserve warehouse is opened, there is not much material. Judging from these documents, Xiao Heng has not saved up any money in recent years. All the things... have been sent to Siberia."

"Yeah." Li Zhen responded. After a long time, he spoke again, "It's not a big deal. The empire doesn't have only half of Yuzhou. Apart from that - isn't there another half of Yuzhou? Are there other local governments? It's unavoidable to communicate with each other at this time."

Pang Feihong nodded and smiled. He knew that the major general was indeed qualified to say such a thing so calmly. He even felt that the reason why Li Zhen has been giving in these days was to achieve such an effect - a violent blow, and with the wrath of thunder, easily disintegrating any conspiracy that can be reached or cannot be put on the table, and then giving all insiders the greatest shock.

In the face of the power he possesses, many conspiracies and tricks seem like a joke. One force reduces ten things... He feels that he has never understood this profoundly.

Once Xiao Heng died, half of Yuzhou was "restored". It is probably difficult for the surrounding areas to have any power to develop a "unofficial heart".

But there are other things.

Pang Feihong looked up at Li Zhen.

The other party leaned on the back of the chair, and the index finger of his right hand gently flicked the leather-wrapped armrest, making a slight and rhythmic "dial" sound.

So he became a little bolder and stared at Li Zhen's face for a while, but he didn't see any extra emotions.

He knew that in today's world, many people said many things that are insincere. For example, this one now...

What is his purpose to achieve this point today?

He said that Xiao Heng would not be allowed to become independent and split the empire. But... there was also a Southern Luzon there.

At this time, Li Zhen closed his eyes and said something. This sentence made Pang Feihong's heart beat, and he almost thought that the other party could penetrate his mind.

Li Zhen said: "Tell me in detail, what happened to Zhang Kesong in Southern Luzon?"

Pang Feihong was slightly stunned, then hesitated and said, "Then... to be honest, I don't know much."

"I'm just a little person and can't reach the top leaders." He smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "It's right if you ask our boss about this."

Li Zhen opened his eyes, but did not look at Pang Feihong. His eyes seemed to have no focal length. He looked at some place on the other end of the sky through the air and time and space, as if he was trapped in some kind of memory or contemplation. (To be continued.
