to blame

Back at the branch, Nan Jiang and others went back to the team to find Mr. Hu to give a brief work report.

Ming Xia took the little fox back to the dormitory, put down his things, took a shower and changed clothes.

When he took a shower, Qingqiu's peach wood bathtub was placed on the other side of the glass door, so that one person and one fox could see each other and chat with each other from time to time.

Qingqiu could tell at a glance that he was preoccupied, and he was not in the mood to play with the rubber duck floating in the tub. He grabbed the edge of the tub with two paws, and asked him in a low voice, "Mingxia, are you unhappy?"

Ming Xia wiped her face and gave Qing Qiu a tacit look.

Qingqiu understood and opened the private chat mode, "Do you have something private to say?"

Ming Xia didn't know what to say, "Did you understand what Yiya said today?"

Qingqiu didn't understand much.When Yiya mentioned Qingtan, it was taken aback. Later, it realized that Yiya didn't have any malicious intentions, and repeatedly emphasized that he and Qingtan had friendship, and would keep it a secret for them, so it slowly relaxed. up.

Qingqiu asked him a little confused, "Didn't he say that he and Qingtan are in the same group?"

"It's not just this." Ming Xia frowned, a little annoyed in his heart, "He is expressing his opinion to us, taking the initiative to keep a secret for us, saying that he is with us."

Qingqiu felt that something was wrong, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

Ming Xia washed off the foam on his body, raised his hand and turned off the faucet, "This is what bothers me. Qingqiu, haven't you figured it out yet? He has drawn us into the camp of monsters."

Qingqiu opened his mouth wide.

"I agreed to go to Xishan to give lessons to the Yaozu, not to choose between the Yaozu and humans to stand in line." Ming Xia wrapped a bath towel around his waist, and stretched out his hand to wipe away the moisture on the mirror. He saw himself in the mirror. The body: not a soft body that lacked exercise before, but a body that has been trained and has tight muscles.

He went through these trainings and endured these hardships not to stand on the opposite side of the "sixth group".

Ming Xia turned his head to look at Qingqiu, he saw the shock and vigilance in its eyes, and also saw a trace of annoyance, "You have also reacted, right?"

Qingqiu nodded.When it first started working in the "Sixth Group", Mr. Hu reminded it of this problem: As a staff member of the "Sixth Group", there will be countless monster races who want to get in touch with it, and through it Inquire about some news inside the "Sixth Group".

Hu Lao said: "Be wary of demons trying to win you over under the guise of being of the same race."

Qingqiu looked at Ming Xia with some frustration, did it let down its vigilance? !

"In the beginning we decided to hide Nanjiang from Nanjiang, not to keep secrets for the Yaozu." Mingxia felt unspeakably awkward when he thought that he and Yiya had become his own people, "but now what Yiya did made the I feel like I did something wrong."

After all, Qingqiu had been working in the "Sixth Group" for several months, so he knew the positions of the prisoners in the Xishan Great Formation and the "Sixth Group".It had never thought of encountering this kind of thing before: a secret kept together turned it into a potential ally of the monster race.

"I have a feeling of being pinched by Yiya." Mingxia knew that Qingqiu's thoughts were pure, so he simply said more clearly, "Maybe I think too much and think too badly of others. But what if ? What if Yiya uses this secret to blackmail us?"

Qingqiu's tail wobbled uncomfortably in the water.It also recognizes the seriousness of the problem.

"Keeping the same secret with him is equivalent to giving our handle to Yiya." Ming Xia wiped off the water droplets on her body, changed her clothes, fished Qingqiu out of the basin and wrapped it in a big towel out of the bathroom.

"Qingqiu," Ming Xia whispered to it, "I can't trust Yiya."

Qingqiu knew that Yiya was his own kind, but it agreed with Ming Xia's statement: it was not because they were demons, but because they made mistakes, that they were imprisoned in the Xishan formation.

Qingqiu has something to say in his heart, even if Yiya and Qingtan are old acquaintances.But when he was put together with Nan Jiang and others, it would still choose to trust its colleagues.

"Then let's tell Nanjiang and Mr. Hu." Qingqiu discussed with him with a serious face.

Ming Xia kissed it on the wet forehead, "I think so too."

Qingqiu and Mingxia reached an agreement, and their mood improved a lot, "I don't think Jiuxiao should know."

Ming Xia has always maintained a vigilant attitude towards Jiu Xiao, but he hides so well and has great abilities, it seems that he really can't do anything about him for a while.

"I don't want him to know either," Ming Xia felt even more annoyed when he thought of Jiu Xiao, "but he should know a lot of our secrets, right?"

Qingqiu comforted him, "He definitely doesn't know when we talk like this."

Ming Xia was a little frustrated, feeling like the enemy had placed monitors on his body.

"I'll ask Nanjiang." Ming Xia didn't know what to do for a while, "Or the technical department has some way to block it."

Qingqiu couldn't understand the shielding, but it still understood the general meaning, so he nodded seriously, "The technical department is still very powerful."

The technical department is indeed very powerful.

But Mingxia believed in Nanjiang the most.He intends to find an opportunity to talk to Nanjiang first, as for which parts need to be communicated with Mr. Hu, let Nanjiang take care of this.

When Nan Jiang saw Ming Xia at the training ground, he immediately understood that he had something to say.In fact, he also had doubts about Mingxia and Qingqiu's trip, but they didn't talk about it, and he didn't intend to ask.He has a deep-rooted trust in Ming Xia, and he feels that he is still very reliable in matters of right and wrong.

While wiping his sweat with a towel, Nan Jiang walked towards the one with unnatural expressions, "What's the matter?"

Ming Xia hugged Qingqiu, stroking its back with one hand, looking a little nervous, "I have something to tell you."

Nanjiang understood.

He hugged the towel and thought for a while, then looked down at Qingqiu who was huddled in Ming Xia's arms, "I remember that you two can whisper, but neither of you can hear it. Can you take me with you?"

Qingqiu licked his lips uncertainly, "I haven't tried..."

From the beginning of its transformation, it knew that its own power could communicate with another person's consciousness.

At first this ability was very weak, until on the way to Huai'an Mansion, he was able to barely cover Qingtan's consciousness and establish a short-term communication with him.Qingtan still disliked it at that time, thinking that its ability was very weak.

Later, it was kept by Baimei's side by Qingtan.At that time, they all lived in the escort agency, and they were all people when they came out and in. Occasionally, if they wanted to whisper something behind human backs, it just told Baimei like this.

Baimei was pleasantly surprised by its skill.

For the next 300 years, its ability was imprisoned, but the method of using it was practiced thousands of times in its heart, so once it regained its freedom, the control of this ability also reached a new level— — Not only did it establish communication with Ming Xia very easily, but the communication mode was more stable than before.

"Try it." Nanjiang stretched out his hand and pinched its fat paw, "I have observed you two for a long time, and the communication is also very stable. With me, maybe the time will not be very long, but expanding your ability coverage Range, I think you can do it."

Qingqiu was also eager to try, "Then try."

Nan Jiang took them to the open outdoor training field, where the two of them sat together in a circle in the center of the playground.

The size of the training field is similar to that of an ordinary football field, and it is separated by mesh fences. On the west side of the training field, there is an action team member doing combat training. The other training fields are all empty. Even if they speak loudly, no one may listen can see.

Of course, these people are not what they want to guard against.

Seeing Qingqiu's face as if facing a formidable enemy, Nanjiang couldn't help persuading it, "If it's difficult, don't force it. In fact, Mr. Hu said that Jiuxiao may not have the time to pay attention to others during this time. It swallowed water虺, it takes a long time to integrate the ability to digest water 虺."

Ming Xia also felt that Jiu Xiao's existence could hardly be felt during this time.He believed that for Jiu Xiao, the most important thing was that its power could be strengthened as soon as possible, not what his little host did.

Ming Xia always felt that in Jiu Xiao's heart, no matter what he wanted to do, Jiu Xiao would not take it to heart.Because the abilities between the two of them are really... too incomparable.

"Let me first talk about the part that Jiuxiao may already know." Ming Xia touched Qingqiu's back soothingly, and said to Nanjiang: "We went out this time, and someone followed us. Yiya said it was Yingyuan. "

Nan Jiang nodded, "We know that."

Ming Xia was a little surprised, "How do you know?"

A smile appeared in Nan Jiang's eyes, "I'll follow you."

Ming Xia felt taken aback, and then felt a little upset, "I won't tell, are you planning to keep it a secret from me?"

Nan Jiang leaned over and squeezed his shoulder lightly, with a smile in his eyes, "You two, how can you do without protection? This was arranged by Mr. Hu. In fact, besides the Ying family, there is another Guys are following you two, but we haven't found out their identities yet."

Ming Xia, "..."

He always thought that this trip went smoothly, but he didn't expect so many tails to follow behind him.

Qingqiu is also a little dumbfounded, it is a monster clan, it should be more alert than Ming Xia, and it didn't notice anyone following him, it is a failure to be a monster.

"In Anhui, you two disappeared for a while, did you enter Qingqiu Mountain?" Nanjiang first confessed to them what he had learned, "Later you went to Qinling, and our people followed you to Hengcun Lost. As for the Ying family and the other group, they are not as good as us. They failed to enter Hengcun."

Nanjiang spread his hands, "I guess you didn't find anything in Qingqiu Mountain, but in Qinling... I can't say. I just think that if you have gained something, it should be after entering Qinling."

Ming Xia and Qing Qiu looked at each other, feeling sorry for each other.

They were still thinking hard about how to hide it from others, but they already knew so much.

Nan Jiang was amused by their expressions, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to gently pinch Ming Xia's ear, "Don't be angry."

Ming Xia snorted and dodged unhappily.

"Don't be angry." Nanjiang began to beg for mercy, "Aren't we confessing to each other, and I didn't unilaterally conceal it."

Ming Xia lowered his head and poked Qing Qiu, "Forgive him?"

Qingqiu didn't hear him.

It is working hard secretly, according to Nanjiang's prompt, trying to broaden the energy that controls its consciousness, and stretching the "membrane" covering Mingxia's consciousness, bit by bit, to expand Nanjiang's consciousness. Inclusive.

Nanjiang felt that the world in front of him shook slightly, and then heard Qingqiu's pleasantly surprised voice in his mind, "Did it succeed? Nanjiang, did you hear it?"

It was the first time for Nanjiang to experience this magical feeling, and he was so shocked that he couldn't make a sound.

Ming Xia looked over in surprise.

Nan Jiang "heard" Ming Xia saying, "Is it done? I think the voice is different from usual."

Nan Jiang tried to talk to them, "I heard you. Tell me."

Qingqiu nudged Ming Xia with his elbow, "Go ahead." He was worried that he might have lost his word.

"Qingqiu saw Qingtan in Qinling." Ming Xia didn't know how long Qingqiu could hold on, so he quickly cut a long story short, "Qingtan was injured, he hid it to recuperate, and couldn't come out for a short time. Didn't you also say that the Ying family The people in Qinling failed to follow up? But Yiya knew."

Nanjiang was not particularly surprised because he had known the Ying family's actions in advance.What surprised him was that Yiya had a showdown with Ming Xia.

How did the Ying family inform Yiya? Nanjiang felt that he had to pay attention to this issue.In his previous guess, there was one (or several) contacts between Cao Ying's family and Xishan.

Cao Ying and his family are just ordinary human beings, even if they usually do some physical training, but it is a piece of cake for the action team to keep such people under control.He was sure that none of these people had left his sight - no one entered Xishan, no one left the old city, and even the people from these two families had no contact with any suspicious people, but Yiya knew about it.

Ming Xia looked at him and nodded with certainty, "Yiya said that he knew that as long as Qingqiu enters the Qinling Mountains, he would definitely see Qingtan. I don't know how he was sure of this."

Nan Jiang nodded, "I will investigate."

"The most important thing," Ming Xia looked at him solemnly, "Yiya talked to me, he said he knew our secret, and he said he would keep it for us—he knew that we had something to hide from the organization."

Nan Jiang immediately understood why Ming Xia chose this time to confess to him.

Qingqiu shivered for a moment, then fell down into Ming Xia's arms with a snap.At the same time, Nanjiang felt as if there was a wave in his brain.

Communications are down.

Ming Xia picked up Qingqiu and carefully rubbed his arms and legs, "Uncomfortable?"

Qingqiu shook his head, and weakly raised his paw to signal Ming Xia to rub it, "Dizzy."

Nan Jiang wanted to roll his eyes again, thinking why are you dizzy rubbing your arms?Is this all worth it?

Looking at the expressions on the two of them, Nan Jiang knew that there was still something to explain, and it might be related to the privacy between the fox brothers.Nan Jiang hesitated for a moment, and decided not to ask for the time being—it was estimated that he would not be able to ask anything.

"I'll ask one more question," Nan Jiang confirmed with Ming Xia, "Yi Ya doesn't know the part that you are hiding from me, right?"

Ming Xia was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, nodded and said: "It's inconvenient for us to talk about Qingtan's privacy. Yiya only knows that their senior brothers have met."

Nan Jiang was stunned, perhaps Yiya didn't care much about what news passed between Qingtan and Qingqiu.What he cared about was that he finally had the opportunity to catch Ming Xia and Qing Qiu's handle.

"Let him think so for the time being." Nanjiang felt that Qingqiu's nest in Mingxia's arms was a bit of an eyesore, but he also felt that its limp appearance was amusing, so he couldn't help reaching out and pinching its fat belly twice, " He thought he had caught you, and he might reveal more information to you. It's not bad for us."

Ming Xia didn't care about protecting Qingqiu's fat belly, he heard another meaning from Nan Jiang's words, "Is there something wrong in the Xishan formation?"

"The situation is not very good. There will be a meeting in the group tonight, Mr. Hu will tell you." Nan Jiang held Ming Xia's hand and looked at him apologetically, "Ming Xia, I was the one who dragged you into the action team... ..."

"Otherwise, I won't know what Jiu Xiao is doing." Ming Xia interrupted him, thinking to himself that maybe he would die without knowing why.

"There's no need to talk about these nonsense." Ming Xia looked at him, then at Qingqiu in his arms, "Qingqiu and I are both members of the action team, no matter what happened to Xishan, I feel... They are all mentally prepared. Qingqiu, how about you?"

Qingqiu softly raised his little paw and waved it, "There is nothing to be afraid of. With me, I will protect you..." It glanced at Nanjiang, then changed its words and said, "...yours."

Nanjiang, "..."

Well, sure enough.Nan Jiang thought to himself, he was just a casualty in the little fox's heart.
