The emperor did not continue to ask for details, but on that well-maintained face, the brows suddenly tightened, and deep lines like pine needles appeared: "You actually need to go there in person, is the situation so serious?"

Qiao Jiang explained: "Your Majesty is worrying too much, I just think it's better to be careful. Besides, it's not appropriate to start a war lightly at the moment. I happen to be familiar with military affairs and spies. If there is something strange in the past, I will know how to deal with it." measure."

In a few months, it will be the fifth anniversary of the victory of the war, but because the previous war dragged on for too long, the strength of the empire has not yet recovered.At present, the best way is to continue to practice the defeat agreement signed by Nanmian Kingdom, and use the resources of the other party as blood to feed the empire.

Because of the large-scale terrorist attack involving both civilians and nobles more than ten years ago, the entire empire hated Nanmian Kingdom to the bone.If a person without a big picture is sent there, and the momentary mood destroys the post-war balance and drags the empire into the war again, then the emperor may not be in the mood for a long time to grow flowers.

Letting Qiao Jiang go in person is indeed the safest plan.

The emperor nodded slightly, "You have worked so hard. You have been working for the intelligence bureau since you were a teenager, and you even rushed to the front line during the war. I have seen all these hard work. I will delay the expansion plan of the intelligence bureau and wait for this trip." Come back, I will give you a half-year long vacation. By the way, you are 30 years old. Although late marriage is popular now, it is time to find a partner in advance. You know, Ruanrou Township is the best resting place for men. "

Looking for someone?

Qiao Jiang was taken aback for a moment, but a delicate and delicate young face suddenly appeared in his mind, which made him feel slightly embarrassed.

In fact, this spies investigation is not without other people who can be dispatched, and he didn't need to do it himself.But at the moment when all kinds of clues finally pointed to Blue Star, he suddenly felt that it would be nice to take the opportunity to go to that remote planet that he might never set foot on in his life, and see that boy with his own eyes, so he made a plan.

He was very frank when making a decision, but at the moment when he heard the emperor's urging, he felt an inexplicable guilty conscience, and was speechless for a while.

The emperor mistook his silence for disapproval, and smiled tolerantly: "Haha, it's no wonder you young people don't like to listen to the old man's words. Forget it, forget it, I'm going to deal with government affairs, you will travel far tomorrow, tonight You should take a good rest, I won't let you eat dinner."

"No, Your Majesty, I—" Qiao Jiang wanted to explain, but the emperor had already strode away with a smile on his face.

It was not until he left the surprisingly large palace that Qiao Jiang suppressed the subtle embarrassment.

Seeing his figure, the long-awaited blond servant Xiao En bowed slightly, "Your Excellency."

Qiao Jiang kept walking, and Xiao En followed behind as usual, and reported concisely and quickly: "The preparations for the trip are ready, and you can leave at any time. In addition, the other factories of the Ma family seem to be clean, and there is no clue."

After the expired food case in Blue City half a month ago, the vitality of the Ma family was seriously injured.But after all, it is a well-known company on the first-tier planet. After all parties managed it and attributed all the responsibility to the person in charge of the Blue City branch who did not hesitate to deceive others for personal gain, the situation gradually stabilized.

But Qiao Jiang felt that things were not simple.Not sure whether it was for Zuo Ting or out of a sense of responsibility, he asked Xiao En to continue to investigate secretly.Now that I heard that the clues were all broken, I was unmoved, and ordered: "Keep digging."

"Yes." After working together for so many years, Xiao En has a deep understanding of Qiao Jiang's stubborn character that he will not let go of whatever he decides. He is already prepared to continue the investigation, and he is not surprised by this order.

After talking about business, he couldn't help chatting about gossip: "Marshal, just now I heard that the chief bodyguard next to His Royal Highness, Myron, went on vacation. This is the first time he has left His Highness's side since he has served His Highness for 50 years. I don't know if it is true. Are you on vacation, or are you doing something else?"

More than ten years ago, when Qiao Jiang first joined the Intelligence Bureau, his first task was to use his identity to collect intelligence at the International College.The habits formed in his youth are often accompanied by his whole life. He never forbids his subordinates to talk too much, and listens calmly every time.

After leaving the no-fly zone of the palace, Sean's gossip was over.Qiao Jiang asked him to go back to the legion's capital office to continue to stand by, while he went back to the mansion first.

This house built according to the specifications of the duke's mansion is almost a small palace, covering an area of ​​thousands of square meters, surrounded by a forest wall lined with tall trees, creating a sense of tranquility in the city center where every inch of land is expensive.Several buildings inside are decorated retro, but all kinds of modern entertainment facilities are available.

But no matter how gorgeous its appearance is, it can't change its loneliness.As a mansion with only one owner all year round and basically no parties, this place is too big and deserted.Even the housekeeper who has been in Qiao's house for hundreds of years, every time he walks through the corridors full of famous paintings and hears his footsteps echoing in the secluded space, he still feels lost in his heart.

However, Qiao Jiang, who has lived in this atmosphere since he was a child, has long been used to being alone.

He parked the aircraft in the vestibule as usual, and went to the study to finish his official duties remotely.After eating the dinner brought by the butler alone, and receiving a reminder that Zuo Ting is online from the communicator, he put down the half-read report and also came to the Internet.

Although the emperor's jokes made him quite uncomfortable, Qiao Jiang was still in a good mood when he thought of the upcoming meeting with the boy.

Teleported to the coordinates where the boy was, he noticed that he was still wearing the brown checked suit he had chosen last time, and was wearing a black bow tie meticulously. There was not half an inch of skin below the neck exposed except for the palms, and the straight trousers looked The taller and slender body, the more satisfied.

It's just that living alone for a long time has made Qiao Jiang used to only smiling politely in social situations, but showing no expression when facing friends and relatives who treat each other sincerely.So even if he was in a good mood, he only softened his eyes a little, and his expression was still cold as usual.

Due to his upbringing, he didn't intend to be a rude visitor who made a surprise attack, but just as he was about to tell Zuo Ting his travel plan, he first heard him announce excitedly: "Joe, I'm going to participate in the battle hall adventure!"

Zuo Ting was also very happy to meet Qiao again.In front of his parents and teachers, he must act as a restrained and well-behaved good boy, and in front of outsiders he has to take care of his "weak" image, and only in front of the seemingly indifferent but tolerant Joe can he easily reveal his nature.

He originally thought that Joe would question whether his mental strength was enough to support this decision like Romeo, and he had already prepared the burden of promotion, and shook it off as soon as Joe asked.

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Joe didn't say a word, just took his arm and left.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Zuo Ting, who was following behind, was in a daze.

"Before taking part in the expedition, you must have mech training." As if he thought he was walking too slowly, Joe slowed down and at the same time slid his palm until he firmly grasped Zuo Ting's delicate and white hand, and then continued: "I will come teach you."
