After marrying an enemy general [Interstellar]
Chapter 9 Trust
Cecil was about to go home when he received a notification from the housekeeper, saying that Zhou Mian was driving the aircraft to the airport.
Cecil thought about going to the airport to pick up people and then go back together. Mian is unfamiliar with the place this week, so even with navigation, it would be enough, right?
However, Cecil was on vacation some time ago to recuperate from his injuries, and he had too many official duties piled up, so it was a long time before Zhou Mian left after finishing the processing.
But the housekeeper said that Zhou Mian hadn't gone back yet.
Cecil arrived at the airport with doubts, and saw Zhou Mian standing alone beside the field where the aircraft took off, motionless.
The wind was strong in the wilderness, and the wind blew up Zhou Mian's long silver-blue hair and hem of clothes. It was beautiful, but also a little... lonely?
The appearance of Zhou Mian standing alone against the wind on the huge grassland reminded Cecil of Zhou Mian who was commanding on the battlefield before.
Across the battle line, Zhou Mian commanded the formation in an orderly manner, looking very energetic.
But now Zhou Mian was standing in front of him.
Cecil didn't know how long Zhou Mian had been standing here, but seeing the wind blowing away his long hair, he couldn't help but took off his army green coat and put it on Zhou Mian's shoulders.
"Why are you standing in the wind?"
Zhou Mian turned to look at Cecil in a daze.
"Admiral is coming...?"
Cecil pulled the military cap on his head and the scarf around his neck and said, "Well, let's go, don't be recognized by others. I will pick you up through the VIP passage."
Zhou Mian suddenly laughed.
Zhou Mian was originally good-looking, with watery eyes, soft yet tough, but what Cecil thinks is the prettiest thing is Zhou Mian's long eyelashes, like the feathers of a black crow, which entangle everything in the world. in.
And Zhou Mian was caught off guard with such a smile, and Cecil was immediately stunned at such a close distance.
Cecil didn't understand why Zhou Mian suddenly laughed.
Cecil touched his nose and said, "Well, let's go. I will have someone drive your aircraft back later."
"it is good."
The two went to the VIP passage, and Cecil put his arm around Zhou Mian's shoulder and said, "I'll take you to eat first, and I have something to tell you."
"Okay." Zhou Mian was still smiling.
Cecil took Zhou Mian to a restaurant in the city center.
Cecil had already asked the adjutant to make a reservation, and now the two of them can use their privileges to go directly to the box from the special elevator at the back door.
Sitting on the soft bed, Zhou Mian looked at the bamboo table in front of him, then looked at the unique designs around him, and asked curiously, "Is this... a restaurant?"
"Yes. It's an ancient earth oriental restaurant. The chef cooks it right away. It's much more delicious than those compressed foods."
Red lanterns and paper fans were hung all around, and the windows were also covered with red paper flowers and window grilles. Zhou Mian stared blankly, unable to imagine how such a thin thing was cut out.
"it's beautiful."
Zhou Mian smiled and said, "Does the general like cooked food?"
While deli ingredients are also readily available, compressed foods are more convenient.Most people buy it directly and eat it without cooking or worrying about making it unpalatable.
"I like it. Compressed food is delicious and convenient, but I just like the taste of deli." Cecil dragged his chin and said, "It's just that I don't often have time to eat in deli, and there are actually not many deli in the capital."
Compressed food is not a simple nutrient solution. There are compressed canned meat, which can be eaten immediately after opening, and there are also compressed canned vegetables, soups, and desserts. All things can retain their original taste and be compressed and sealed.
But Cecil loves fresh, smoky, artisanal dishes.
"I can do it." Zhou Mian said with a smile: "I can do it, but what I know is ancient earth western food, and I don't know much about oriental food..."
"You will?" Cecil's eyes lit up.
"If the general doesn't mind, I'll do it next time." Zhou Mian lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's a thank you for this meal."
"Then I earned it." Cecil touched his chin and said, "We can't come here often, but we can cook at home every day."
Afterwards, the food was served, and the dishes in front of them were still emitting white smoke and aroma, and the eyes of the two generals immediately turned green, and there was no need to be humble, just pick up the chopsticks and just do it.
The two have been fighting all year round, but in fact, there is almost no chance to eat cooked food.
"Hiss, cooked food is different." Cecil took a bite of the pig's foot and said, "Enough!"
Zhou Mian couldn't laugh or cry.
After eating almost, Cecil wiped his hands, snapped his fingers and said, "I have something to tell you, first of all this."
Cecil took out a stack of papers from his briefcase and handed it to Zhou Mian.
"contract?"
Zhou Mian frowned slightly.
Surrender contract, marriage contract...how come there is still a contract now?
After Zhou Mian took it and flipped through it, she was stunned.
"This……"
Cecil put down his chopsticks boldly, grabbed a pig's foot and bit it while saying: "Here, it will be much more convenient for you to do things like this."
Zhou Mian looked down at the scorching contract in his hand, and forgot to pick up the food for a while.
It turned out that Cecil went out just now to find someone from the Glacier government, but it was for him.
Cecil negotiated with the Glacier government, and then asked the Glacier Empire to return Zhou Mian's army, allowing Zhou Mian to regain command.
Originally, Cecil the Lion wanted to return all the soldiers and horses. After all, Zhou Mian was a general.But Zhou Mian's identity as a criminal was there, and after many trials and negotiations, he could only regain the legion directly under his name.
"Let me first declare that your fiancé is powerful, handsome and handsome, and I just snatched it back for your convenience. I didn't pay attention to your legion at all." Cecil smiled and said, "Your legion You decide, none of my business."
"Okay." Zhou Mian couldn't help being amused by Cecil's eating.
Zhou Mian put away the contract, feeling even more shaken.
In theory, he and Cecil need to cooperate to pull down the maggots of the royal family.
Should he exchange information with Cecil?He was holding on to the secrets in those USB flash drives, which was boring.
"I……"
"and also……"
Zhou Mian and Cecil spoke at the same time.
Zhou Mian paused, and then said, "You talk first."
Cecil said: "There is a second thing, I need your cooperation and help."
"The Twelfth Legion is now investigating the relationship between the Glacier Royal Family and the Zerg." Cecil observed Zhou Mian's expression and said, "Do you know?"
Zhou Mian looked up at Cecil.
So that's what Cecil said...
Cecil smiled and said: "I believe you know about this, and I guess this is why you were hunted down. Someone has to take a step, I will come first, I trust you, and I am willing to tell you the information I found .”
"I know..." Zhou Mian said in a low voice: "My father has also collected a lot of evidence. The Glacier Royal Family realized that my father was a threat, and poisoned my father when he was unable to guard against it, and failed to rescue him."
Cecil looked up and saw Zhou Mian's expression was normal, without any emotion.
This person... isn't sad?
But then Zhou Mian didn't speak anymore, just lowered his head and continued to eat.
Cecil raised his eyebrows slightly, but didn't mention it again.
The two returned home after they were full, and Cecil turned on the autopilot, half-lying on the driver's seat with his hands on his head, and listening to music leisurely.
Zhou Mian sat in the co-pilot, his mind was spinning.
After the aircraft traveled for a while, Zhou Mian suddenly said, "Admiral, open your terminal."
Zhou Mian took a deep breath, opened the terminal and entered the absolutely encrypted file area, and opened the secret information after typing the password several times.
It was too dangerous to carry a piece of hardware, so Zhou Mian destroyed the USB flash drive his father gave him and stored it in his own terminal.
"I sent the information collected by the Zhou family to the general."
Zhou Mian decided to trust Cecil once and take a gamble.
Stake what they've learned about each other on the battlefield over four years.
Zhou Mian smiled and said, "It's a happy cooperation, General."
"Happy and happy." Cecil was taken aback for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Leave it to me, I don't believe you can't pull it off."
The glacier royal family and the Zerg colluded to smuggle drugs, which endangered not only the glacier system, but also all human beings.
The enemy of mankind is not each other, but the Zerg.
After returning, Cecil got Zhou Mian's terminal information, and then quickly searched with the people of the Twelfth Legion to find the information.
Ever since the royal family knew that the information had leaked into Zhou Mian's hands, they began to destroy the evidence in full swing, but no matter how they were destroyed, there would be traces of what happened, and it was these tiny traces that Cecil caught.
With Cecil and the Twelfth Legion, the guards and shadow guards directly under him, intervening, Zhou Mian believed that it would be no problem to find out a few leaders and suppress them.
As for whether the real leader behind the scenes can be caught...
This has to come slowly.
Zhou Mian passed Xiao Le's room again when he was about to wash up.
It was still the thin broken piano sound.
Zhou Mian gently pushed open the door.
"Xiao Le, good evening. What are you doing?"
Xiao Le's eyes widened, and he jumped off the piano chair defensively, and hid in a corner of the room.The thin and small body just nestled by the window, and even pulled the curtains, desperately trying to hide himself.
Zhou Mian ignored Xiao Le, and just sat down in front of the piano, covering the keyboard with his fingers.
Zhou Mian smiled, closed his eyes and began to play the tune.
Zhou Mian could feel the mental power slowly flowing to his fingertips under his control, and finally spread out through the music.
The song is very slow, like the moonlight illuminating every corner in the dark night, soft but not dazzling, just accompanies quietly.
Zhou Mian could feel the fear in the air being covered by his own mental power, and Xiao Le's originally hideous expression gradually relaxed.
Zhou Mian didn't leave his seat, nor did he take the initiative to talk to Xiao Le, but just patiently played different pieces all night.
Zhou Mian didn't get up until midnight.
"Good night, Xiao Le, sleep well." Zhou Mian waved his hand and left the room.
To be honest, he didn't feel tired at all. Firstly, he felt sorry for Xiaole, and secondly... Zhou Mian himself liked the piano very much.
"The last piece is beautiful."
The housekeeper who was guarding outside praised: "It turns out that the young master is so good at musical instruments."
Zhou Mian laughed and said, "I created it myself, and the song is called Moonlight."
"Moonlight...? Very poetic, how did you come up with this song?"
"I forgot." Zhou Mian touched his chin and thought for a moment before saying: "I created it when I was a child, and it seems to be a song for someone... But my fingers remember the notes, but my brain doesn't remember that it was for a song. Whose is it?"
"Very romantic." The butler shook his head.
The housekeeper's casual question made Zhou Mian also mind.
However, until he lay on the bed, Zhou Mian couldn't remember who the song was written for.
In fact, Zhou Mian has never given up searching for the origin of this song in the broken memory all these years, but it still fails.
It seems that it happened when I was very young... The other party...
Is it a big brother?
A special, very gentle and strong older brother.
Well, it's all old stuff.
Cecil thought about going to the airport to pick up people and then go back together. Mian is unfamiliar with the place this week, so even with navigation, it would be enough, right?
However, Cecil was on vacation some time ago to recuperate from his injuries, and he had too many official duties piled up, so it was a long time before Zhou Mian left after finishing the processing.
