to blame

Ming Xia put the little fox whose fur was still wet on the table, and found a towel to wipe him with water.

The little fox huddled in the towel obediently, and made things difficult for Nanjiang, "Captain Nan, it's actually easy to know why Xie Rong is in a hurry. Aren't you his lover? Just ask him directly."

The corner of Ming Xia's mouth twitched, thinking that his little fox had also turned bad.

Tang Xun and the others laughed again. They lived with Nanjiang day and night, so they naturally didn't believe Xie Rong's lover's rhetoric.But this did not prevent them from watching Nanjiang's excitement and making fun of him.

Nan Jiang looked at everyone helplessly and smiled, "You think I didn't ask? I'm just a stepping stone to him. How could he tell me what purpose he has?"

The metaphor of the pedal is just a casual one of Nan Jiang's.Everyone didn't take it seriously, they had been in the action team for a long time, and they had seen countless ghosts and monsters. They would not pay attention to Xie Rong's little tricks.But Ming Xia felt extremely uncomfortable after hearing this.

Who does Xie Rong think he is?You can step on whoever you want?

"Okay, everyone knows it well." Nanjiang clapped his hands and reminded everyone, "Boss Xie has provided our branch with a lot of financial and material assistance after all, and his entry into Xishan was also approved by the leader. As long as he does not violate the Discipline, just cooperate with our work seriously. Let's stop talking about this matter."

The team members laughed and agreed.

Ming Xia hesitated for a moment, and told everyone the questions about his life experience that Elder Bi had said in the car.Everyone here knows his relationship with Jiuxiao.Being in a dangerous situation, Ming Xia didn't want to cause any unnecessary misunderstanding because of this little negligence.As for Mr. Hu's suspicion about Suzaku, Ming Xia has no evidence now, so he didn't say anything.

However, regarding the matter that Jiu Xiao is still locked in the seal of Diao Wang, he plans to talk to Mr. Hu after the mission is over.Before, this was just a contradiction within the Ming family, but it is obviously not the case now.

The whole room was stunned, and then they all talked to comfort him.

"This is no longer a matter of shame!"

"Fraud, intentional injury, you can sue him!"

"Damn, what a big face..."

"Go back and ask Mr. Hu to take you to check, this thing is easy to check..."

"Yes, just squeeze a few drops of blood."

"..."

Ming Xia suddenly asked a question that was beyond their expectations, "I heard that demon hunters are all descendants of the four great beasts, and they are also considered monsters. Then can you split a corresponding energy body like the monster race? "

Several team members looked at each other in blank dismay, and turned their attention to Nanjiang together with some embarrassment.

Nan Jiang walked past Ming Xia and rubbed his head twice casually, "Don't inquire now. After returning to the team and confirming your identity as a demon hunter, you can keep the secrets between teammates. We all know."

Tang Xun and others quickly jumped out to comfort him, "Don't be sad, Xiao Linzi, it's not that we deliberately hid it from you, we really can't violate discipline."

The people next to him also echoed him, "Yes, yes, I will tell you later."

Bai Ying even gave him a hug provocatively, "Brothers, although what you want to know is not a secret, well, it's not easy for us to talk about it."

Ming Xia was helpless, "I took the liberty."

Qingqiu, who was lying on the table, suddenly stood up, put its front paws on Ming Xia's arm, and then... slapped Baiying away with a merciless slap.

Bai Ying, "..."

Ming Xia picked up Qingqiu and kissed it on the forehead, "My family's Qingqiu is still so caring, never forgetting to protect me."

Baiying wiped Qingqiu's neck viciously amidst everyone's laughter.

The little fox just ignored him, he lay on Ming Xia's shoulder, squinted his eyes slightly, showing a reassuring expression - no matter what he did, Ming Xia would stand by his side, which made him feel happy.

But in Ming Xia's mind, Qingqiu is just a child who just entered the world and doesn't know much about human relationships.It is as if human children are very dependent on their parents when they are young. If they can get enough love and sense of security from their parents, then when they grow up, they will have enough confidence to leave home and explore the outside world.

Qingqiu is in such a state now, Ming Xia doesn't think she can play the role of a parent.But he felt that he could be Qingqiu's family and give him enough care and sense of security.Only when he is sure that he can see Ming Xia whenever he looks back, can Qingqiu feel safe and bold to leave him and run alone.

Ming Xia felt that he would have endless patience when facing Qingqiu—maybe all the patience he could give in his life was here.Even if he might have children in the future, he may not be able to enjoy such patient treatment again.

This may be the natural fate between them.

This may be the most peaceful sleep they have had in a few days.

When the sky was about to dawn, a sudden ringing of the bell startled everyone instantly—they had been in a dangerous environment for a long time, and even if they returned to their stable home, it was difficult for them to truly let go of their guard.What's more, there is still such a big movement.

Qingqiu poked his head out from under the quilt, a pair of fox eyes shone like small light bulbs in the darkness.He shook his ears twice, and said to the people in the room, "News from the west."

The whole room moved quickly, tidying up the housework and going out to gather.After coming out, I found that besides their team, the sixth team and the club team were also ready to go.

The secret service personnel stationed at Supply Station No. [-] called the heads of several teams together for a meeting.Mr. Bi followed Nanjiang and Liu Enzheng for a few steps, when he saw Xie Rong following him.

Elder Bi frowned slightly, he was not sure what happened to Xie Rong now.Strictly speaking, he is not actually a member of the club, but entered Xishan with the club in a cooperative relationship.If he really had some purpose, or did something bad, he might blame the club.

Mr. Bi stopped in his tracks and said to Nan Jiang: "I think we are only here to help, and we know too much about your internal affairs that are inappropriate. Otherwise, we can just wait outside."

Nan Jiang understood his intentions almost immediately. He quickly glanced at Xie Rong who was pretending to be calm, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Mr. Bi, let's come together. Let's mainly discuss the next cooperation issue."

Elder Bi breathed a sigh of relief, and brought Xie Rong into the meeting room.

Ming Xia looked at this scene from a distance, and felt that Xie Rong was indeed like what Nan Jiang said, and was eager to participate in the whole operation.He couldn't fail to see Bi Lao's vigilance, but he still pretended not to know.Moreover, he noticed another thing from Xie Rong's expression: he not only cared about the degree of his participation, but also cared about Nanjiang.

As for whether his concern for Nanjiang is out of emotion or other factors, it is not known.

Ming Xia looks away from the front window of the car, and checks his and Qing Qiu's seat belts and supplies.

Not long after, several people from the meeting came out.Nan Jiang walked over quickly to join his team.His eyes swept over the team members in the carriage who were ready to go, and he touched Ming Xia slightly, then quickly moved away.

"Set off."

After the anti-riot vehicle drove out of the No. [-] supply station, Nanjiang lowered the partition of the cockpit and began to introduce the situation to everyone.

"From here to the west, it will take another four to five hours to reach the border to the west of the formation. Beyond the border is the forbidden area of ​​the demon clan. Human beings cannot easily step in unless necessary. This is what sealed these big monsters back then. At that time, the conditions promised by the Zhenyaosi. According to the records, the last time the Zhenyaosi set foot in the west was in the Kangxi period. At that time, a tree demon from northern Guangdong escaped into the Western Mountains, and our people cooperated with the counterparts in northern Guangdong to enter Go west to arrest them."

"I don't know what mission Mr. Hu has this time. I only know that Commander Du accompanied the special service seconded from the urban area. Besides the staff of the technical department, Mr. Hu also took Mr. Wen and his two students with him. .They left the Bronze Pass and headed west all the way, and finally stopped at a deserted city called Liangtai. This is also the place where they stopped before they disappeared."

Ming Xia didn't care about how the whole car would react when they heard the news, so he quickly asked him, "Teacher and senior brother are also missing?"

Nan Jiang nodded, "At that time, Commander Du and special service personnel who were patrolling the outskirts of the deserted city were there. It was because no one came out when it was time to change the guard that they found out that something had happened."

Nan Jiang looked at the time while talking, "This was five hours ago."

Finding that Mr. Hu and the others were missing, Commander Du must organize people to search around the ancient city, and only turn to the branch to apply for assistance when the search fails.

Ming Xia was anxious and couldn't help asking him, "No more detailed information?"

"Unfortunately. No." Nanjiang looked at him apologetically, "Because there is often serious electromagnetic interference along the western border of the formation, the information is often not transmitted in time. This is why we have only now received a search and rescue application from Commander Du. main reason."

Ming Xia was a little upset, "How long can we get to the balcony?"

Nan Jiang thought for a while, but decided to tell the truth, "I'm not sure. It depends on what happens after we leave the Bronze Pass. Whether it's sunny or cloudy, it doesn't matter."

Not only did Guangming Xia not understand this, the people in the car were also a little confused.Will a distance be longer or shorter because of the weather? !

"Yes," Nanjiang seemed to have heard their complaints, and replied with certainty: "This section of the road is so difficult to explain. According to the limited records of the archives team, the longest time to reach the ancient city of Liangtai took half a month. The shortest one took two days. Oh, and one more point, the restricted area and other areas of Xishan have similar magnetic field conditions, and helicopters cannot be used.”

This... what the hell? !

Qingqiu leaned on his shoulder and silently digested the news, searching for useful things from his memory.For some reason, he always felt that he had heard the place name "Landai" there.

Li Youran leaned over from the side and patted Ming Xia's shoulder, "Relax. Don't try to look at this place from the perspective of the material world, especially after leaving the Bronze Pass. Because this place is probably a place that doesn't exist at all. The place."
