11. Family meetings
The old mansion of the Yue family is located in the capital Xinghao Province, adjacent to the military headquarters and administrative introspection, and is the residence of many military bigwigs, and the Yue family, as a major force in the military department, is naturally no exception.
When the carriage traveled half a star from the airport to the old mansion, when the car was waiting, the two twins of the fifth uncle's family were screaming outside the door.
"Third brother and third brother!" This is the younger sister of the twins, the female cat Qingji, as soon as she saw Abel, she jumped forward and hugged her arm, "I heard that some people in your personal guard said that you escaped from the battlefield!
The whole world knows the escaped brigadier Abel: "......"
The tomcat Thunder looked much more restrained, not too embarrassed to hold his arms, and only stood at the gate and whispered: "Uncle and Uncle San, they are all here." ”
Able nodded, and entered the hall with the twins.
As Thunder said, the hall was full of people. Marshal about to sit in the first place, surrounded by Abel's uncle and third uncle, and then on both sides are Abel's parents and fifth uncle. Uncle's two sons and Connie are also there, except for Aunt Merry, people are still very close.
As the head of the family, Marshal Yue didn't speak, and the others naturally didn't dare to speak. The marshal raised his eyes and looked at his grandson, fiddled with the black and gold cane he was holding, and said, "Tell me, what's going on with the rumors outside." ”
"Report Marshal. Abel gave a military salute, but was interrupted by the marshal.
"It's grandfather. The marshal said.
"Report grandfather. Abel didn't change his posture at all, and he was concise and to the point, "There is a problem with the tea sent to the battlefield by the family, and once the whole body energy is used to riot, it will not be able to continue to resist the Soul Eater ......at all," he briefly explained the matter of the forced landing on the Gemini, and did not say a word about the pursuit and nursery on the starship.
"So you're a deserter?" Second Brother Vancy interjected with a sneer, looking at Constance teasing, "Oh, you suspect that our Connie is trying to kill you, right?"
Constance frowned, his face full of anger: "Abel, don't you believe your sister?
Marshal Yue only listened quietly to the juniors, and the eldest brother Victor also boldly preached when he saw this: "Abel, it's not me saying that you, you are so bold at a young age, you dare to break through on the battlefield, and your foundation is unstable and easy to fail." Now you're still running away at will, do you know how much mess you'll leave at home?"
Abel's eyes flashed. The attitude of the eldest brother and the second brother was not strange to him at all, since his military rank surpassed that of the second brother, it was difficult for the brothers to speak peacefully when they met. Constance has always been a proud person, let alone as a female cat of high status in the family, it would be good not to lose her temper at suspicion.
"How can the second brother say that! Could it be that the third brother can't be sent to death in vain?" Qingji retorted unconvinced, "Besides, the tea was not sent by Sister Connie herself, there must be someone who wants to get along with our family! Didn't grandfather say that if the third brother has a smooth mission this time, he will be able to take off the title of brigadier general and officially become a major general! Who knows who is doing it?"
Fan Xi was dumbfounded, and rebuked: "What does a cub know? Do you think it's the eldest brother's hand? The eldest brother doesn't ...... at all."
Victor's eyes flickered a little, and he directly explained to the marshal: "Grandfather, I am definitely not the kind of person who assassinates siblings!"
"That's enough!" Marshal Yue hammered his cane, and everyone was silent, "Anyway, the impact of this time is very bad, you don't have to think about promotion in the short term, go to the military headquarters tomorrow to report." ”
The marshal came to a conclusion, and the juniors did not dare to discuss this topic anymore, but Lieutenant General Berkand frowned: "Father, this promotion is that Mei Li has been unsealable, so it has been postponed to the juniors." We can't afford to cheap other forces in the military for nothing. ”
As soon as the words fell, Victor and Fancy both looked at the marshal with hope in their eyes.
Merry is the second daughter of Marshal Yoo, and unlike other female cats, she is very keen on dancing with swords and swords, and has made great achievements, and is expected to become the only female cat marshal in the millennium. However, for the sake of the balance of military power, a family is not allowed to have two marshals at the same time, and Mei Li is now a general, and she has to wait for further promotions unless the marshal retires. But meritorious heroes can't be rewarded, and the practice in other families is also in exchange for a promotion for juniors. Because of this rule, many children from good families are promoted much faster than commoners.
In order to get the most benefit, the family will generally give this opportunity to the highest-ranking son, and such a good thing Victor and Fancy are naturally very eager for. In the Yue family, the most outstanding of the three generations is Abel. From a brigadier general to a major general, although it is a little lower than that of a general to a marshal. After all, according to Abel's own military exploits, he can be promoted soon, but this is better than giving the opportunity to Victor and Fancy - they are both at the school level, and even Fanxi is only a major, even if there is no outstanding merit at this level, he can be promoted through hard work.
It's just that Abel disappeared from the battlefield this time, even if there is a reason for it, he will be punished. This is not to ask those officers to die in vain, as long as they are not stupid, they understand the importance of saving their lives, and it is not a big problem such as treason and surrender, and the worst can be offset by war merits and punishments, and even if their lives are gone, what is the use of chasing the marshal.
In short, this promotion has been determined without Abel, and the marshal did not let go of the promotion opportunity to anyone: "It's all dispersed, our family is not inferior to Mei Li's military exploits." ”
The eyes of the Dafang family widened, but you were very loud! That was enough to promote the military exploits of the marshal, didn't you see that the juniors didn't even have a general?
The marshal spoke, and everyone could only disperse. Abel's parents didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder and said, "Have a good rest, and you will have to deal with the military headquarters tomorrow." ”
Abel nodded, and before he sent his parents away, he heard Constance come from behind and say, "Abel, I know that you are very sad that you can't be promoted this time, but you can't discredit me in front of my grandfather and the whole family." ”
Abel was surprised, he didn't expect Constance to be so uncontrollable, but he still replied: "That's just the opinion of the second brother." As Qingji said, sister, you have so many followers, and there are so many family transport personnel, it is difficult to say where the problem is. ”
There is no tangible evidence that Constance assassinated herself, and Abel certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to ask directly.
Constance was choked for a moment, and she looked at Abel for a moment. This younger brother, who is more than sixty years younger than her, does not look like a tomcat who has just become an adult, he is calm, and it is difficult to tell what he thinks from the surface.
"I'm relieved that you think so. I don't know if it's really relieved to dispel suspicions, or something else, in short, Constance regained his usual indifferent expression, "You were seriously injured this time, it seems that your personal guard group can no longer be trusted, especially that Ellen...... He's been second captain under you for so long, and I've heard that your secretary Bokin seems to be courting him. ”
Abel was silent for a moment, then replied, "Yes. ”
"Exactly is this news?" Constance frowned, and said stiffly, "How are your injuries recovering, don't deliberately be reckless in order to hide from your men." Let Lizzie check it out for you, and I've got all the tea you need. ”
"It's all right, and Gemini's medical conditions are okay. Abel avoided the serious, and didn't reveal that he had only spent time in the nursery at Gemini. He was still confused about his inexplicable improvement, but none of that was the most important thing in front of him, and he couldn't use Constance until he was sure that she was innocent.
Constance didn't force it, and walked away with his chin raised.
After following Constance out of the hall, Able refused to follow the twins who wanted to keep up with him, and went back to his room under the pretext that he needed to rest. Well, I don't know how the little guy from Gemini is doing in the past two days, should he tell the other party that he is safe?
didn't consider whether Lu Shiqing needed him to report his safety at all, and Abel dialed the video conference with peace of mind. It seemed that it was still early morning on the other side of the twin stars, and Lu Shiqing connected the terminal with a messy hair. Seeing that the other party was startled by the pop-up interface, Abel had no doubt that the other party might have taken the video ringtone as an alarm clock and was about to press it to continue sleeping.
"It's you, little cute thing. Lu Shiqing muttered sleepily.
"It's me, Abel. "Abel pretended he hadn't heard anything," said Abraham Joo. ”
"Ahh Lu Shiqing asked slowly for a while, "You're in the capital star!"
"Yes. Looking at the cute appearance of the cub on the other side of the video, Abel felt that the depression in his heart was much lighter, and some of them chatted about what he saw and heard on the way, and couldn't help but instruct again, "I will do my best to go back to pick you up, don't be wronged if you have any requirements, remember to mention it to the nursery." ”
"Got it. Lu Shiqing rolled on the bed with his red face, he didn't love to be coquettish, he just felt that he was such an adult, and he was still in front of his future adoptive father...... Ahem, he's not a coquette! But the feeling of someone caring is almost flying.
It's not that Adele doesn't care about Lu Shiqing, but there is still a difference between the popular version and the customized version, okay! Not to mention that there is always a fierce Nanny surrounding Adele to chase flies, and Lu Shiqing doesn't want to compete with a little Lori!
Without mentioning how Abel explained to the military department, Lu Shiqing finally passed the online test of guò cub general knowledge and obtained the qualification to enter the intermediate cub class. Hey, when I'm old and still in kindergarten, how difficult life is.
Unlike the beginner course, the intermediate course involves many issues of flexibility and is no longer something that can be taught by simple courseware. In the elementary class, the cubs have generally learned the common knowledge that they will use in their daily lives, and it is very important that most of the content of the later stages of the juvenile stage will be learned on the two-dimensional empire.
