Byron's Blade

The guest house where Assassin is temporarily stationed is a guest house inside the air force base, which is specially designed to receive accommodation for senior generals who come for business trips or inspection visits, and the location is not far from the airport.Although this location is the worst for an ordinary hotel, the guest house has done everything in terms of hardware conditions such as sound insulation and shock absorption, and software conditions such as towels and toothbrushes.After staying in a hotel, comfort and comfort are the minimum, and you can even enjoy a lot of luxury services, such as bars, massages and the like.

The chief of the air force base received a video call from General Petrov himself, and told him to do a good job in the reception work. Whether it is the Sea Eagle Commando or Assassin, let them get a full rest before departure , and provide maximum assistance.

There are two reasons why Haiying and Assassin chose this northern military airport as the starting point for the Long March.One is that starting from here can avoid the eyes and ears of Andres to the greatest extent, and after calculation, this is the starting point closest to the destination, which can save a lot of distance; the other is a transport plane that can carry so many of them at once. Well, there are not many in the entire Federation, but there are three here, and they were built by Petrov privately. They have just been successfully tested and have not yet been registered in the register. The outside world basically does not know the existence of these three planes.

The Sea Eagle Assault Brigade is a main brigade with a total number of 40000 people, which is one level higher than the 20000-strong Military and Police Brigade. It is absolutely impossible for 40000 people to participate in this mission.General Luo Jia preliminarily selected 300 people, and with the information of these 300 people, held a three-day meeting with Mu Xin overnight, selected 150 people again, and decided on the final list.These fighters are all elites drawn from various squadrons. They have excellent military qualities, excellent weapons, and complete equipment. They even brought five Ares Type 1 mechas and three Ares Type 2 mechas. It can be said that the blood was spent.

In addition, there are less than 50 Assassins, and the number of people starting this time is controlled within 200.The three transport planes can accommodate a total of 300 people, so there is still a lot of space left for luggage and equipment.The mechas are all suspended transportation, hanging under the belly of the transport plane, and do not occupy the internal space.

Mu Li sat on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the guest house room, chatted with Lan Ni, discussed the above issues by the way, and basically figured out the ins and outs.Originally, she should have known all these things at the Jiang family, but she was not in the mood at the time, so she missed all of them.

"Oh, by the way, what happened to Lin Zhao just now?" Mu Li has not forgotten that Mu Xin suddenly laughed heartily because of Lin Zhao's plain words on the battery car.

Lan Ni's eyes were a little black, she lay sideways on the bed near Mu Li, and said lazily:

"Oh, I think it's because Lin Zhao likes my cousin a little bit. I've been feeling this way ever since the incident in the elevator shaft last time."

After traveling such a long distance and leaving soon, Mu Li originally wanted her to sleep now, but Kelani said she couldn't sleep, and even though she was lying on the bed, she wanted Mu Li to talk with her.Mu Li has always doted on her and obeyed her, so naturally he would not refuse.She moved the sofa to the side of the bed, next to the bed, her hand was still holding Lan Ni's hand, caressing gently, unwilling to let go.

"Oh~~Really?" After hearing Lanni's guess, Mu Li's answer was a bit subtle, and the elongated syllables were full of meaning.

Lan Ni frowned because of her reaction, pouted and said dissatisfiedly:

"what do you mean?"

"Huh?" Mu Li raised his eyebrows, and looked at her sideways, his jet-black eyes were clear and bright, full of water, looking very innocent.

Lan Ni's heart skipped a beat because of her word "um", and wondered why the wood was getting more and more charming.However, the eldest lady is not a person who is blinded by sex. She will not be fascinated by beauty and forget what she was going to pursue:

"I mean... What do you mean by that reaction just now? It feels like you don't agree with my guess." She said after deliberating, but she didn't say what she was going to express.

"I agree. You said that Lin Zhao likes Mo Kexin, so it should be eight or nine." Mu Li laughed.

With an expression of "I see you continue to pretend", Lan Ni asked slyly:

"Oh, then do you think my cousin likes Lin Zhao?"

"I hope she likes it." Mu Li's answer was also quite cunning.

Lan Ni snorted softly, shook off Mu Li's holding her hand, turned her back, and ignored her.

Mu Li looked at Lan Ni helplessly and amusedly, got up from the sofa, sat on the edge of the bed, and stretched out his hand to wrap around her arm.Unexpectedly, Lan Ni struggled to grab her arm, and said aggrieved and dissatisfied:

"You don't touch me."

"What is this awkward? I know I don't like her, but I only have you in my heart. But I can't stop her from liking me." This time, Mu Li spoke very straightforwardly.

"Really?" Lan Ni didn't take it seriously, her tone was obviously not just jealous, but rather heavy, "Ali, I know you're hiding something from me."

Mu Li was silent.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Lanny's heart sank:

"I'm afraid... I'm afraid that if you know something, you won't be with me anymore."

Mu Li took a deep breath and said with a faint smile:

"If you are referring to the ant on a rope, I think there is really nothing to worry about. At that time, I chose to protect you with my life instead of protecting Mo Kexin. Although it was just a coincidence at the time, But this choice will still not change now. When we were crushed together under the earth and rocks, probably our fates were already entangled."

Lanny's body froze, and she heard her own violent heartbeat.

"When I was young, you loved to bully me. When I grow up, I will still be bullied by you. However, that is all my own will. One day, if you stop bullying me, I will be at a loss and feel uncomfortable. I can't go on." This made her laugh a little, "Hehe, I feel like I'm shaking."

Lan Ni didn't laugh, she just asked in a trembling voice:

"You really...remember everything?"

"Yeah, Lanny, did I act fake before? You probably saw through me long ago. A person who has lost his memory thinks he is another person, and tries to play the original role as another person. Myself. Thinking about it, it's really ridiculous."

Even though she had guessed it long ago, when Mu Li admitted it, Lan Ni still had tears in her eyes.She covered her lips, trying not to cry out.But I felt that Mu Li leaned down and wrapped her in his arms who was lying on the bed, her lips were leaning against Lan Ni's forehead, and he could feel the hot air she exhaled when she spoke:

"You've been looking for me for so long, how anxious you should be. I'm sorry, it's my fault. But I'm back, and I'll never leave again. Whether I live or die, I will never forget you again."

Lan Ni finally couldn't restrain herself from crying, her body trembled from sobbing, she turned around and lay on her back, clutching the clothes on Mu Li's chest, and wiped all the tears on Mu Li's shoulders.

"You... bastard..." she cried and cursed.

"Yes." Mu Li smiled.

"Why didn't you tell me immediately after you recovered your memory? You... are so cruel..."

"You know me, I don't say it, because many people don't want me to think about it now. Those things are too heavy. If you spread them out, it is tantamount to uncovering the scars, and you have to be naked/naked every day Go face it. The Long March is just around the corner, and I don’t want to cause any complications, so let’s talk about these things later.”

"You and Aunt Mu were printed out of the same mold. In order to achieve great things, you can be so ruthless." Lan Ni seemed to really have deep resentment.

There was something slowly sinking in Mu Li's dark eyes, she said lightly:

"I'm different from her. She abandoned her mother and cheated on me when I was young. I can't forgive her."

"A Li..." Lan Ni called her name in a panic, her heart tightened.

"It's okay, don't worry, I will cooperate with her on this mission, and I won't make any claims. The matter is important, and many people are involved. Even if she is sorry for me, I have to be worthy of other people in this team. I have a measure Don't worry." Mu Li comforted her softly.

"Yeah." Lanny reached out to touch her face, "I just want you to be well."

Mu Li lowered his head, and slowly kissed her lips.

***

The day before departure, just after 9:[-] p.m., the elevator of the guest house stopped on the third floor occupied by all Assassins.The elevator door opened, and a female figure appeared in the corridor.She was wearing a ponytail, a baseball cap and a cold mask, so she couldn't see her face clearly.She was wearing a thick army green jacket, stretchy waterproof and scratch-resistant trousers wrapped her slender and straight legs, and she stepped on long hiking boots, stepping on the soft carpet in the corridor, silently.On her back was a huge hiking backpack, which took up two-thirds of her body length.Judging from the appearance, this person looks like a traveler who has traveled a long distance, or an explorer who wants to go to the snow-capped mountains. He just appeared in the army's internal guest house, but it seemed very unnatural.

Her eyes fell on the house number, and she seemed to be looking for a specific room.Not long after, she stood outside 312, hesitated for a moment at the door, took off her gloves, and knocked on the door.

After knocking on the door, the woman raised the brim of her hat, took off her mask, and smiled at the cat's eyes on the door.She knew that the people in the room would definitely look at her through the cat's eyes.

Sure enough, there was a sound of opening the safety bolt inside the door, and then the door was opened, and a powerful arm stretched out, grabbed the woman, and pulled her in.

The woman was startled, but she clenched her teeth and didn't cry out.She was pulled into a pitch-black room, and then the person in front of her pushed her hard against the wall next to the door. The person lifted her hat and stared at her with cold blue eyes. Flickering coldly in the dark.

"Why are you here? Who told you to come here!" the man pressed her.

"No one asked me to come here. I sneaked here by myself." The woman replied, trying to remain calm.

"Are you following us?" The man spoke in a very dangerous tone.

"I have no other choice." The woman turned her heart away, raised her voice slightly, raised her eyes to look directly at those cold blue eyes, and said.

"He Yingning, this is no child's play, we don't have time to play hide-and-seek with Missy."

"I know Qiu Zheng, I know that you are going on a mission, it will be very dangerous, I am not a fool after following you for so many days."

"Knowing that you are still coming!"

"I said it, I have no choice!" He Yingning's tone was filled with anger, but he softened immediately, and begged:

"Please, Qiu Zheng, help me and let me go with you."

"You are crazy! Go back to me now!" Qiu Zheng's tone could not be refused.

"Qiu Zheng..." He Yingning's warm eyes like spring water are full of pity, her soft eyebrows make people feel pity, her voice is weak, revealing humble hope and weak coquettishness, "Only you can help me... ...I beg you....."

Qiu Zheng took a step back, and He Yingning reached out to grab her cuff, but felt a sense of indifference and alienation in Qiu Zheng's body.

"If you want me to help you, tell me first, why do you insist on going with us? You know very well that we are not going on a trip. This trip will never come back. Your status is precious, and we cannot bear this responsibility. "

"I..." He Yingning bit her lips, as if it was difficult to say, "I don't want to be separated from you...for so long..."

Qiu Zheng didn't speak, his blue eyes were already full of frost.

It's not that He Yingning doesn't know that Qiu Zheng is angry, and he is getting more and more angry because of her words.But she still had to finish what she had prepared beforehand:

"My mother forced me to get married. I didn't want to get married, so I ran away. You also said that this trip is very dangerous. There will be no return. I don't want to sit at home and do nothing. One day I suddenly received you ...bad news for you. At least, I can feel more at ease with you."

These words of hers are both true and false. She did escape from marriage. Her mother is too powerful. No matter where she fled, as long as she is still within the scope of the Federation, her mother will have a way to catch her back.Only by leaving the city and going to the wild can it be possible to get rid of mother's control.She hoped that her rebellious behavior this time would make her mother really value her own thoughts.Come to think of it, my mother had already cooperated with Assassin, and she should have trusted Assassin. If she followed Assassin, her mother would not worry too much.

Moreover, she followed Assassin because there was a feud here.It's just that she didn't want to be separated from Qiu Zheng for so long, as she said, she didn't like Qiu Zheng to that extent.She was just very interested in this person, and had a slight liking for him. What happened at the entrance of the restaurant in Dongluo General's Mansion that day also made her very concerned. These days, the smile of Qiu Zheng that night always appeared in her mind.She was so restless that she finally acted on her own.

After she finished explaining her reasons, she quietly waited for Qiu Zheng's reaction.

However, Qiu Zheng didn't respond to her for a long time. She just stood silently in front of her, with a terrible sense of alienation all over her body.He Yingning was very flustered, her heart was beating wildly, and the air was so condensed that it would suffocate her.

"You think I like you, don't you?" Suddenly, her cold voice sounded above her head.

"..." He Yingning's eyes flickered, not daring to look at her.

"So, trying to use my feelings..."

"I...not..." He Yingning wanted to explain, but felt that all the words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't speak.

"Oh, whatever...I'll help you." She smiled, "But this is not something I can decide. I will take you to see the teacher and try my best to fight for you. Finally decide who you will keep, It's the teacher, not me." Her voice seemed to be filled with cold air, which made He Yingning shudder involuntarily.

She finally plucked up the courage to raise her eyes to look at Qiu Zheng, but what she saw was an expression on her face as if she was looking at a stranger.This look took away the last trace of strength from He Yingning, and made her legs weak, and she could barely stand by leaning against the wall.

After chasing her all the way here, is this the end result?Regardless of whether or not she was able to set off with the team in the end, He Yingning felt that her conversation with Qiu Zheng tonight was the most failed and regretful conversation in her life.

So when the hermit Mu Xin saw He Yingning appearing in front of her room with an indifferent face of hatred and a lost soul, her head started to hurt.

We are not organizing a group to go on a trip, why are so many people here to join in the fun?
