Desperate

Four steaming hot pot bottoms were brought out quickly, and Liang Qian, who laughed at Cen Lu and Zhou Pushen's health preservation, only ordered a tomato pot at the end, and was mocked secretly by Dou Huai and Ye Ming.

Liang Qian kept stuffing mutton rolls into her mouth while fighting back: "Little beauty, look at you, it's spicy and buttery, women are very afraid of acne."

"That's an ordinary woman." Dou Huai ate the hottest pot bottom in this store without changing his expression, while adding a spoonful of millet pepper to the sauce, "I don't get acne when I eat anything."

Cen Lu saw that Dou Huaiye's face didn't change when he ate, and he was a little tongue-tied: "The lieutenant colonel is so good at eating spicy food, it must be a habit since childhood."

"No," Dou Huaiye smiled and rolled up the broken hair falling from his ears, "I didn't eat it since I was a child. After work, I went to..."

There was a momentary blank in his mind, and Dou Huaiye was a little dazed, just now it felt like a tape recorder suddenly stuck, leaving only a vague noise.

Liang Qian stared at her, the light in her eyes dimmed, and then teased with a playful smile: "Little beauty is always so angry, probably because she eats too much spicy food." Dou Huaiye immediately poured out all the remaining chili peppers It went into Liang Qian's bowl, causing him to scream.

Amid Liang Qian's howls, Dou Huaiye seemed hesitant to speak, his round almond eyes rolled around Cen Lu and Zhou Pushen several times, but finally he didn't speak.

"The lieutenant colonel wants to ask about General Liu." Cen Lu explained Dou Huaiye's thoughts kindly.

Dou Huaiye felt a little uncomfortable, and kept rubbing the chopsticks in his hands: "Junior Liu... used to take good care of me in the military academy."

Cen Lu lowered his eyes, and the expression behind the glasses showed a decent regret: "Liu Zhun will sacrifice his life for the country, which is also his wish." The implication is the specific cause of death, and it is inconvenient for him to talk about it.

Dou Huaiye understood, his eyes dimmed slightly: "The instructor is an upright person, I trust him."

With a sound of "clang", Liang Qian slapped the chopsticks heavily on the bowl.

The three of them were startled by him, and all of them slandered why this guy was crazy.Liang Qian wrinkled her peach blossom eyes with a bitter face, and covered her throat with her hands in discomfort: "There's a worm in the bowl, I accidentally ate it."

"I'm sick!" Dou Huaiye quickly came to a conclusion, but exchanged his own sauce bowl with Liang Qian's, "Mine is very spicy, whether you like it or not."

Seeing Dou Huaiye start to eat Liang Qian's sauce without any psychological barrier, Cen Lu felt a little horrified.

Liang Qian was happy, and focused on the business: "Let's talk about the business, let's talk about the business. I asked Brother Lu to ask you something."

"The northern border... the Guyun Mountains, to put it bluntly, has always been a place outside the law." Liang Qian's cynical face slowly became serious. It can be regarded as turning a blind eye and closing one eye, but something happened recently, and Her Majesty the Queen and the cabinet have to take care of it."

Cen Lu loosened his chopsticks while boiling the mushrooms: "What is it?"

"At Guyun Mountain, they are reselling fake blood silver." Dou Huaiye interjected, with a tense expression on his snow-white face: "This kind of fake is commonly known as red silver, and its complete combustion rate can be almost equal to that of blood silver under the same conditions. It can be considered powerful when used in weapons and equipment, but it is a pity that the impurities in it are too difficult to decompose, flammable and explosive, and very dangerous."

"The empire originally forbids the circulation of red silver," Liang Qian said, using chopsticks to stir the fiery crushed peppers. Far away," he paused, "is the best place to trade fakes."

Cen Lu glanced lightly at the two people who sang together: "What does this matter have to do with me?"

The two looked at each other, and it was Dou Huaiye who spoke first: "Compared with blood silver, this kind of counterfeit has almost no difference in appearance. Only experts who have been in contact with blood silver for a long time can distinguish the difference from the burning rate. We would like to ask you... um... ..." She was a little embarrassed.

Deep down in his heart, Cen Lu didn't want to go. He suffered a heavy loss during the battle of "Hemera" and was forced to destroy millions of equipment and materials. Most of the context, this is barely complete the theoretical proof, and he still has some finishing work.

Liang Qian thought about Cen Lu's hesitant expression, then glanced at Zhou Pu's deep and calm expression, and decided to give Cen Lu a strong dose of medicine: "The technical department has decided to send Second Lieutenant Zhou to investigate secretly and find out the behind-the-scenes of the formation of the Chiyin black market." black hand."

Zhou Pushen's chopsticks for Cen Lu stopped in the air, he picked an angle that Cen Lu couldn't see, and gave Liang Qian a hard look.

Cen Lu pretended not to see it, and slowly ate the shrimp slippery Zhou Pushen picked out for him: "I see, I'll go."

Just kidding, it will take at least two or three months for Zhou Pushen to go, and he will probably be suffocated to death when he comes back.Now that there is such a big pie in the world to cultivate a relationship with the other party, he Cen Lu is not a fool.

Sooner or later, Cen Lu thought resentfully that his status in Zhou Pushen's heart would surpass that "god-like figure".

Dou Huaiye didn't expect Liang Qian's bad idea to be so useful. She wanted to express her gratitude to Cen Lu but didn't know how to express it. Finally, she reached out to Cen Lu like a veteran cadre: "Professor Cen, the technical department will never forget you." Dedication."

Cen Lu had no choice but to reach out and shake her hand, slandering in his heart that this is not selfless dedication, he is full of his own selfishness.

Liang Qian was so proud that his tail was almost up to the sky, he sat there restlessly, his peach blossom eyes looked left and right, but after waiting for a long time, none of the three ghosts thanked him.Major Liang was injured again, his siblings and clothes are all the ones who turned their faces and refused to recognize anyone!

Before he could complain, Cen Lu interrupted his nonsense: "But before I go, I have a request."

Liang Qian restrained herself a bit: "Say it."

"I want to learn some basic self-defense techniques." Cen Lu said while eating the dishes that Zhou Pushen piled on his plate, "The ones that can save people, but can protect themselves."

After the task of "Hemera", he still has lingering fears about his thin body.

Dou Huaiye cleared his throat, and explained as tactfully as possible: "Professor Cen, freezing three feet is not a one-day cold. The soldiers' physical fitness has been trained for many years. I'm afraid..."

"I know," Cen Lu admired this kind of down-to-earth attitude, he smiled at Dou Huaiye: "Lieutenant Colonel Dou, I don't intend to train like a deep brother, but at any rate, I don't want to delay him when I'm on a mission." Hind legs."

Zhou Pu, who had been silent all this time, took a deep breath and suddenly stagnated.

Liang Qian watched the two of them go back and forth. He thought for a moment, then suddenly suggested: "Shoot, Brother Lu, let's see how you practice shooting. It's about half a month before you leave the mission. Every day, I just practice marksmanship and so on."

"What can it look like?"

"It's probably a bit difficult to be a sharpshooter," Liang Qian said with a smile, "but it should still be possible to scare people by hitting the target. Besides," Liang Qian winked at Zhou Pushen, "Don't we have a ready-made instructor here?"

This matter hit Cen Lu's heart, and before Zhou Pushen could speak, he said as if he was afraid that the other party would not agree: "Then it's settled."

The four scooped up everything in the hot pot, and chatted one after another.Cen Lu still had classes in the afternoon, so Liang Qian and Zhou Pushen went to the cashier to pay the bill. When Liang Qian paid, he heard the second lieutenant whisper in his ear, "Thank you."

Liang Qian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was referring to bringing him to meet Cen Lu today. He couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "I see you two are really full."

Zhou Pu was deeply puzzled.

Liang Qian glanced at him, and asked him again: "What are you going to do next? Do you really think this is enough?" He asked Zhou Pu this question when he was in deep confinement.

But this time, Zhou Pushen did not answer.

Liang Qian was both worried and inexplicably relieved: "You have to remember those things in the past. If he finds out, you must leave immediately."

Zhou Pu stared at Liang Qian intently, and finally raised his hand in salute as an answer.

At the same time, on the roof of the office building opposite the hot pot restaurant——

The woman put away the scope of the sniper rifle, touched the headset, and the man's mellow voice rustled, with a very gentle tone, almost like a father whispering to his daughter.

What can be said is less personal: "What about the goal?"

"Report, Adam will arrive at Guyun Mountain in three weeks," the woman paused, "together with Major Liang's men."

"..." The man's voice in the headset paused, "That's fine. Huaimian, come to the lab, I need your help."

"Yes." The woman agreed without hesitation. Her light chestnut curly hair fell a little from the black wide-brimmed hat. She raised her hand to close it, and deftly put away the sniper rifle. Her slim figure disappeared on the rooftop.

When Cen Lu arrived at the shooting range, Zhou Pushen had already been waiting there for a long time.

He was testing the gun for Cen Lu. The young and handsome man stood tall and tall in front of the target, holding a black Uzi in both hands. The barrel of the gun rested on Zhou Pushen's muscular shoulder. On the bridge of the nose, most of the face was blocked.Zhou Pushen reached out and adjusted the earplugs, held the gun stock, aimed, and fired in one go.

The fully automatic submachine gun made a loud noise. After dozens of "ping, ping, ping" shots, shell casings splashed everywhere, and gunpowder smoke scattered around the man. dark gray.

Cen Lu narrowed his eyes, and licked his lips deeply at Zhou Pu.Just as he was about to applaud, he saw two or three soldiers who were tall and rough went up to strike up a conversation with Zhou Pushen. During the conversation, they were full of admiration for Zhou Pushen's skills.

Cen Lu felt resentful, stepped forward in two or three steps, and squeezed into the sweaty crowd, coughing to show his presence.

Zhou Pushen found him immediately, left those soldiers and walked towards him quickly, wearing sunglasses like a blind man could not conceal the joy on his handsome face: "Brother, you are here, I Picked out a good gun for you."

Cen Lu listened to him, followed him to the cubicle, and raised his hand to try the Uzi, but Zhou Pushen pressed his hand.

There was a smile in the second lieutenant's eyes: "This one has too much recoil, you use this one." Then he spread his palms and let Cen Lu see the gleaming m1911. The barrel is very narrow and it is made of silver gray. As for the grip, it is made of light-colored walnut wood, with a metal plate inlaid in the middle, and the words are engraved on it.

Zhou Pushen showed him a little excitedly: "Brother, look, I have engraved your name." Sure enough, Cen Lu's initials were engraved on the metal plate in international lingua franca.

Cen Lu looked at him with deep eyes, but said nothing.

Zhou Pushen was a little embarrassed, he stretched out his hand and scratched his short black hair: "Your birthday will be in three weeks, and I won't be able to give you any decent gifts when we do the task, so why not give it in advance." His black eyes sparkled Looking at him wetly: "Do you like it, brother?"
