Arknights is too real, right?

Yanguo, Governor's Mansion of North China.

Lin Hong was sitting in the study, gently wiping a gorgeous sword made by a famous craftsman.

But his expression at this moment was not one of appreciation, but a frown.

"You said Xia Feng went to Victoria?"

The guard in red standing upright in front of him was very confident.

"Yes, Governor Xia's trip is completely open to the public. He will be accompanied by the adjutant of Zhou Liang District. Yandong senior officials have made proper arrangements for the agency work."

Lin Hong's eyes showed undisguised suspicion.

"Why did he go to Victoria?"

"Said he was going to discuss the establishment of a colony with the Victoria Empire."

"What does Victoria's colony have to do with his Yandong governor? Does he still want to represent Yanguo?"

"This subordinate doesn't know."

Lin Hong pulled half of the sword out of its scabbard, and the cold light from the sword's edge was menacing.

"Has Xia Feng asked Prime Minister Yan Guo for instructions on this matter?"

The guard in red immediately replied.

"According to our investigation, there should be no."

"kindness"

"Sir, should we inform Prime Minister Yan Guo about this?"

Closing the sword, Lin Hong showed an intriguing sneer.

"No need."

"grown ups."

"Although Prime Minister Yan is in Fengyang City inland, he has better information than anyone else."

Hearing this, the guard in red didn't say anything more.

Lin Hong stood up from his seat and walked to the window with his hands behind his back.

"If Xia Feng only travels between Yandong and Victoria, then there is no need to worry about this matter, but if he goes to other places before returning to Yandong, special attention should be paid."

Understanding the meaning of Lin Hong's words, the guard in red immediately responded.

"Yes, my subordinates will send someone to monitor Governor Xia's whereabouts."

Notting, southern Victoria.

As one of the large mobile cities in the south, Notting has experienced ups and downs.

More than a year ago, this huge city moved north to avoid natural disasters. Later, the rebel army of the Southern Military District led by Vina drove directly to the city of Londinium.

As a city, Notting has achieved repeated leaps from south to north and from north to south, which can be said to be a success.

Now, Notting City is located 20 kilometers northeast of Happy City. At the same time, it is also the headquarters of the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce, the largest transportation and trade monopoly in the empire.

As the plane slowly came to a stop, Turtle excitedly unbuckled his seat belt and shouted.

"Windmill, it's here, it's here, we're home!"

Xia Feng smiled and nodded.

"kindness."

When they stepped out of the cabin, they saw a flat concrete land. The place where they landed was a large park under construction in the northern suburbs of Notting City.

A gust of cool wind blew by, seeming to wash away the fatigue of the journey. Due to the different geographical location, compared with Yandong, the weather in Victoria is slightly colder.

At Xia Feng's request, the way he came to greet him was not too high-profile.

In addition, this is a suburb of the city, and there are no buildings nearby, so it looks very empty.

Stepping on the soil of Victoria, Xia Feng couldn't help but open his arms and took a deep breath of the familiar air here.

There is no "smoke of gunpowder", no "smell of blood", and no oppression and wailing that seemed to never go away.

At this time, there is only stability and peace in this land.

Not far from the plane, four black cars had been waiting for a long time.

Tang Hua was wearing a suit and leaning against the front of the car, holding a lit cigarette in his hand. When he saw Xia Feng coming out, he immediately threw the cigarette to the ground and stamped it out, then tapped on the car window.

"Nancy, Nancy, Xia Feng is out!"

Nancy, who was sitting in the car, put away the makeup tools in her hand when she heard the sound, then straightened her hair on her forehead, and her two Philin ears twitched.

Pushing open the car door, she calmed down her excited and somewhat out-of-control emotions, and then smiled in the direction where Xia Feng and his group were walking.

"Governor Xia, welcome to Victoria."

Standing still in front of Nancy, Xia Feng pretended to be serious.

"President Nancy, could you please greet me in person? Xia is really flattered."

Seeing such a formal meeting between the two, Zhou Liang next to him immediately became nervous.

Just when he was thinking about whether to introduce himself, Nancy smiled and punched Xia Feng on the chest.

"Pretending, you're pretending, what a bastard boss, he disappeared for a year, and now he's back, huh."

Xia Feng firmly withstood what felt like a tickling punch to him, then grinned and opened his arms towards Nancy.

"Hey, Nancy, long time no see."

Without any hesitation or anger, Nancy hugged him immediately.

"Boss, welcome back, hehe!"

Tang Hua next to him curled his lips.

"Ahem, just give me a hug, that's all. My soon-to-be fiancé is still standing next to you."

Letting go of Nancy, Xia Feng looked at Tang Hua who was standing next to him.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for a year, and you've learned to be jealous."

Tang Hua helplessly spread his palms.

"Hey, I can't help it. My fiancée is so good that I can't compare to her in anything, so I can only be a little jealous."

After not seeing each other for more than a year, the eldest young master Tang Hua has become much more mature. Although Victoria no longer has an aristocratic class, the excellent genes of the Leaf family are still fully reflected in Tang Hua.

With her tall and straight figure, shiny hair, and the stubble that she deliberately grew, she looked like a talented woman to Nancy.

However, facing Nancy's identity as the president of the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce, Tang Hua could not get rid of the title of soft rice king no matter what.

After hearing Tang Hua's words, Xia Feng immediately discovered a blind spot.

"Why are you still fiance? Didn't you announce your marriage a year ago? I even gave you a red envelope before I left."

Tang Hua glanced at Nancy cautiously.

"You have to ask her about this. I can't help but dream about getting married."

Hearing Tang Hua's humble complaint, Nancy's eyes widened.

"What's the matter? If you can't wait, you can find someone else."

Tang Hua immediately raised his hands and surrendered.

"Don't stop, wait, wait, just wait until dying, I am willing to wait."

"Tch, glib."

The wind here is a bit strong, and there are so many people standing. Although there are too many things to talk about after a long separation, it is really not suitable for a long chat.

"Nancy, why don't we go back first."

"Okay, get in the car and let's go back to the barbecue restaurant."

Opening the car door, Nancy seemed to suddenly remember something.

"Wait a minute, boss, where is the gift you promised to bring me?"

"Oh, of course."

Stretching out his hand, Xia Feng handed Nancy the book "Victoria Is Too Real" that he had read all the way on the plane.

"Give."

Taking the book, Nancy showed undisguised disappointment and disgust.

"Oh, why is it a book, and it's a crappy novel written by Wei Na and her second brother. You can buy this kind of thing everywhere in Victoria. You don't even want to give it to me for free."

If Nancy's words were heard by Vino, who stayed in the palace all day and worked hard on his creations, he would probably break down and cry.

Seeing Nancy's disappointed look, Xia Feng smiled.

"Nancy, please turn to the last page and take a look."

"kindness?"

Following Xia Feng's words, Nancy immediately opened the last page of the book.

On the last page of the book, a pressed cherry blossom is sandwiched in the middle of the paper.

The pale pink petals are elegant and simple, and seem to have an exotic floral fragrance.

Looking at the cherry blossoms sandwiched in the pages of the book, Nancy was stunned for a moment.

"Boss, this is..."

Xia Feng's voice was very gentle.

"This is the first cherry blossom that bloomed in Yandong this spring. You don't have the chance to see it with your own eyes, so I can only bring it back to you to see what it looks like."

As the honorary president of the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce, Nancy can easily buy any luxury goods in the world that can be purchased with money.

But the only thing she couldn't get was the thoughts of important people.

This is exactly what she wants most.

Holding the book with the cherry blossoms in it like a treasure, Nancy smiled happily like a little sister doted on by her brother.

"That's great, I like it so much, hehe."
