Byron's Blade

Judging from Rui Qiao's reaction, it seems that this Miss Andres is also a celebrity, and Mu Li probably doesn't know her.So even though he was dazed for a moment, Mu Li still pretended to know this lady a long time ago, got up and greeted him politely.Fortunately, Rui Qiao has a cheerful personality and is good at chatting. She chatted with this lady whom Mu Li didn't know at all, and Mu Li was lucky enough to know the identity of this lady from the content of the chat between the two.

The full name of the woman traveling with Lanny is Per Andres, and her surname is already an important prompting element.She is the only Grand Marshal of the Federation, the granddaughter of Rudolf Andres, the deceased father of the Federation, and the youngest daughter of Conrad Andres, one of the seven-pointed star generals.

Conrad Andres is the garrison general of the city of Athena. As the only son of Marshal Rudolph, Conrad is the most prestigious general among the seven-pointed star generals and is loved by countless soldiers.He has been stationed in Athena, the city of war and the capital of soldiers, for many years, and his personal family also settled here.So Per Andres, who grew up in Athena, is considered the local host.It's just that General Andres' Mansion is not in Alta City, but in Yongsheng City, which is more inland and very close to the noble city of Hera.Yongsheng City is also the metropolis of the City of Athena, a megacity, and its status is equivalent to that of Muli in China's Beishangguang at that time.

This time, Pell heard that his best friend Lanny was coming to Athena, so he specially came to Alta from Yongsheng City, and spent two days shopping with his good friend to see the style of Athena.Per is even more famous than Lanny, not only because of her background, but also because she is a "military singer", has a beautiful voice, and is an important member of the Federation Army Art Troupe. The idol of the soldier.This 25-year-old lady with a prominent status is already a civilian lieutenant colonel, and her military rank is even higher than Lanny. However, as a soldier of the military art troupe, no matter how high her military rank is, she is still a head shorter than a real soldier.Soldiers are used to calling her Miss Andres or simply "Miss", instead of her rank.

"I didn't expect Major Friesman and Ms. Andres to be good friends. I feel that I have a lot more to talk about." Rui Qiao said with a smile. At this moment, the four of them have chatted thoroughly, and there are also people nearby who know Lenny and Pell came out, but everyone seemed to be scrupulous and didn't come forward to say hello. Their eyes full of enthusiasm and envy always drifted towards Mu Li and the others.

Talking about talking, in fact, the real chatting is only about Rui Qiao, Lani, and Per. Mu Li didn't say a few words, and he tried his best to reduce his sense of existence from the beginning to the end, for fear that the topic would be thrown to her.She knew how much she weighed, and she was very afraid of meeting her former "old acquaintances", which was too easy to be exposed.

But luck is not a curse, it’s a disaster that can’t be avoided. Mu Li feels that he can’t get through this level at all, because Major Lanny Friesman seems to be very interested in her. She, or asked for her approval, or asked her opinion, Mu Li can only respond dryly with "um", "ah" and "yes". Whenever an olive branch of dialogue is thrown at her, she can act as a "chat terminator". Everyone fell into silence, and Rui Qiao always came to the rescue in the end, and the embarrassment was almost committed.

After talking for about half an hour, Mu Li even felt that her back was soaked in cold sweat, and her palms were also sweating, which shows how anxious she is now.Her psychological quality is excellent, but when she is stared at by Major Lanny's blue eyes, she feels like she has been seen through.And this beautiful female major always has a meaningful smile on her face, and she leaves a lot of blank space when she speaks, which is very easy to make people think wildly, and Mu Li really can't see through her.

It may be a mutual tacit understanding. Although Lanny's opening remarks were related to the encounter in the afternoon at the beginning, they did not mention this matter once in their subsequent conversations.Although Mu Li still had a lot of doubts, he was not stupid enough to ask now.She only hoped that this sudden social interaction would end quickly, she really couldn't stand this unpredictable cold beauty beside her, and always felt that every word she said was aimed at herself.In order to hide her embarrassment and anxiety, she subconsciously picked up the glass and drank it. Before she knew it, she had refilled the glass several times, and she became drunk, and her mind became a little dull.

The topic was chatting, and unconsciously, it turned to the purpose of Lan Ni's trip to Athena.Lan Ni, as the apple of the eye of the general stationed in the main city of Gaia, and the female instructor of the Supreme Military Academy, usually lives and works in the central main city, and rarely appears in other city-states.

"I came to Athena for a business trip." Lanny's answer was very brief, as if she didn't want to talk about the content of the business trip. Rui Qiao and Mu Li didn't ask, there are many things in the army that need to be kept secret, and they are still very sensible. .

"Of course, I also foresee that I might meet Second Lieutenant Mu when I come to Alta." Lan Ni smiled and brought the topic to Mu Li again.

Mu Li smiled awkwardly, and said, "It's my honor to see Major Friesman again."

"I said, are you two always so polite when you get along with each other in private? I remember that Second Lieutenant Mu Li served as a non-commissioned officer in Friesman's mansion for several years. Have you met?" Pell, who had endured Mu Li's rudeness and politeness all night, couldn't take it anymore, and finally said.

"We met several times, but during the four years when Mu Li was in the General's Mansion, I happened to be working on the important project before. In order to facilitate entering and leaving the laboratory, I lived alone in the school's instructor's apartment for a large period of time. I'll go home." Lan Ni explained, and then looked at Mu Li again.

Mu Li quickly echoed: "Yes, I rarely get together with Major Friesman."

"I really don't understand you. It stands to reason that you should have a good relationship with your savior? Or are you both too reserved? Second Lieutenant Mu, I'm not talking about you, you are so stupid, no wonder your surname is 'Mu' I finally realized what kind of person is the most authentic lawful neutral person." Pell seemed to have drunk too much, propped his head on one hand, spoke a little out of control, and became rude to Mu Li.

"Pell...you drank too much..." Lanny scolded her softly, and then moved the glass in front of her.Then she turned her head and apologized to Mu Li, "I'm really sorry, Pere, she is outspoken, she can say whatever she wants, please forgive me."

Mu Li hurriedly waved his hand to express that it was okay, but he felt depressed again: Major Lanny, you don’t forget to stab me while helping your best friend, isn’t it a bit dark... She doesn’t think that Major Lanny is emotional intelligence For someone who is low enough to say such a thing without realizing it, she must have done it on purpose!The first impression this woman gave her was that she was very intelligent, but also very dangerous.Every word she said to herself seemed to have a sense of temptation in it, if Mu Li hadn't raised her whole-hearted precautions, she might have said something she shouldn't have said at this moment.

What's the matter with this woman, why did you test yourself like this when you first met?What did I do to offend her?Or is it that she is already smart enough to see that something is wrong with Mu Li at a glance?

"Hmph, it's alright, now that you've helped her speak, I know you're still devoted to the savior, even if she's a lawful and neutral piece of wood." Seeing her best friend speak for an outsider, Pell became upset, and his tone became even worse. rushed.But it won't be offensive, the tone of this young lady's speech always has a hint of coquettishness in it, and people will forgive her rudeness unconsciously.

"Pell, you are biased. Who said that lawful neutrals are dull? When Second Lieutenant Mu rescued me, he acted in complete violation of military orders. But without her unauthorized actions, I would It would be impossible to sit here and talk to you. Lawful neutral people also have clear self-value judgments, don’t you think so, Second Lieutenant Mu?” Lan Ni retorted solemnly, and then brought Mu Li into it with a smile.

Dense beads of sweat appeared on Mu Li's forehead, he licked his slightly dry lips, reached out and lifted the brim of his military cap, then smiled and said, "Ashamed, ashamed."

"Really? This is the first time I've heard that Mu Li acted without authorization?" Rui Qiao also became interested.

"Yeah, at that time the team was dispersed, and the order from above was to gather north, and she was the only one who turned around and came to rescue us alone." Lan Ni laughed, "But although she violated the military order, her camp It’s amazing that the bias is still very stable.”

Mu Li was silent, not knowing how to answer the conversation at all.

Lanny's words continued, and this time another blockbuster was thrown out by her in a relaxed and freehand tone:

"I heard that something happened in my father's general's mansion before. It was a major event that shook the camp, but her camp is still firm. My father didn't tell me what happened. I'm curious, I don't know Can Second Lieutenant Mu tell you one or two?"

"Ah... this..." Mu Li looked embarrassed.

"Oh, I'm sorry, maybe it's something that can't be said. I'm talking too much. I don't know if it's because of this that my father sent Second Lieutenant Mu to the Northwest Army Mecha Division." Lan Ni's smile became brighter and brighter.

Mu Li: "..."

Now, Rui Qiao, who didn't think there was anything wrong at first, also sensed something was wrong.With a cautious expression on her face, she looked at Mu Li with a tormented face, and then at Lan Ni with a beautiful smile, and suddenly shuddered involuntarily.He thought to himself: Oh my god, it's so dark...Is there any feud between Mu Li and this Major Lanny?

"Refill another glass for Second Lieutenant Mu." Seeing that Mu Li's glass was empty again, Lan Ni said to the bartender.

While the bartender was pouring the wine, Mu Li hurriedly used the excuse of urinating to get out of Major Lanny's "claw", intending to wash his face and catch his breath temporarily.In the less than 10 minutes of chatting with Lan Ni, the amount of information is too huge. Now her mind is a little messy, and she needs time to sort it out.

Standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom, Mu Li washed his face, regained his composure in the stimulation of cold water, and gradually figured out some clues: In the past, Mu Li was very firm in his camp, so that he did some things beyond the scope of the camp. , the faction deviation value will not waver in the slightest.It was probably because of this special feature that she was suddenly transferred to the Northwest Army Mecha Division. Perhaps General Friesman wanted to use this special feature to achieve a certain purpose.And Lan Ni, as the daughter of General Friesman, the person Mu Li once saved, also knows about Mu Li's particularity, and has a strong interest in it.I don't know if she really doesn't know about Mu Li or if she doesn't know, this woman is very dangerous, she's talking about Mu Li.What is her purpose in exploring these?Was it related to her coming to Alta?

Damn, why did things turn out like this?Mu Li gritted his teeth, could it be that... I really penetrated into the body of an incredible human?Could it be that... I was involved in some unknown conspiracy?If she understood Lanny Friesman's words correctly, then this is by no means a conjecture of persecutory delusions, but a very likely fact.

After adjusting his mood, Mu Li finally calmly returned to his seat.At this moment, Lanny and Per are already packing their things.

"I'm sorry, Pell can't drink enough, I'd better send her to rest earlier, so I'm sorry." Lan Ni said.

"Major Friesman is too polite, let us give you and Miss Andres a ride." Rui Qiao said quickly.

"Thank you very much, but I have called the driver just now, the driver is nearby and will be here soon, you continue to play." Lanny rejected Rui Qiao's kindness without any trace.

She helped the drunk Pere down from the bar, and Rui Qiao and Mu Li accompanied them all the way to the bar entrance.As soon as he went out, he saw a black luxurious car parked at the door. Rui Qiao and Mu Li helped Lan Ni put Per into the car, closed the door, and Lan Ni walked around to the other side to get in the car.

When passing by Mu Li, she whispered eight words to Mu Li in a very soft voice:

"You have to be careful, don't go too far."

The expression on her face was elegant and natural, it didn't look like she had just spoken, she just got into the car and walked away.

Mu Li's hair suddenly rose, he subconsciously clenched his fists, stared at the car going away, and let out a deep breath.
