Chapter 3 Section 8
The center of imperial power.
In a relatively remote and unnoticed corner, there is a very quiet courtyard, which still maintains the ancient buildings of a hundred years ago, unlike other places in the center of power, there are no heavily guarded posts here, and no one comes and goes, and the figure who is busy with state affairs walks in, and the sense of tranquility is as if it is empty, like a forgotten abandoned residence.
But few people know that this simple courtyard has a hole in it.
A green jeep, stopped at the door, breaking the peace here, the driver is a woman, a rather charming woman, mature figure, showing hot and charm everywhere, indifferent temperament, this glamorous beauty, more noble, everyone who sees her, unanimously believes that this is a real queen of the world.
In particular, she is wearing a straight uniform, and under the half-knee skirt, with a solemnity, revealing an atmosphere that cannot be blasphemed, and she will feel uncomfortable when she approaches her.
A pair of button-down leather shoes that are not high, walking towards the courtyard with the sound of footsteps.
It's just that the lightness between the figures is not the same as her queen's temperament, calm and solemn, and a cold color appears on a beautiful and rich face.
Beyond the small courtyard, in front of a row of bungalows, there is a house number that has been placed for an unknown number of years, with three words on it.
"The eighth. ”
Yes, this calm and humble courtyard is the eighth.
The mysterious eighth place. Kneel and beg for a hundred eyes to sing
In the bungalow, there are several desks, and a few men and women in plain clothes are working, which looks like an office.
"Miss Fox is here, and Minister Zhang is waiting for you. One of the male staff members stood up, greeted with a smile, raised his hands and feet, and inadvertently showed a kind of momentum, which was the momentum of a master.
No one knows that the staff who exist on the surface here are all masters, all masters at the level of the king of soldiers, men, women and children, without exception.
If you want to enter the eighth place, strength is the most unshakable standard, without the strength of the king of soldiers, you don't have to open your mouth, no matter who wants to go through the back door, they will be rejected, so over time, no one does this kind of thing anymore, if you want to enter, say too much nonsense, it is better to improve your strength.
The woman was not polite, there was still not much expression on her face, she just nodded lightly.
Stepping past these desks and into another suite, a high-tech metal door appeared in front of her, and the woman put her hand in the induction palmprint, and a metallic indifferent voice came: "Number sixteen, the palmprint matches, and I have permission to enter." ”
"Squeak", the door opened, it was a downward step, the woman did not stop, walked in, the door closed, and this underground, is a completely different world.
Although it is underground, you can't see it at all, and the whole thing in front of you is brightly lit and bright as day.
A lot of staff walked back and forth, and it was very deep, up to several floors, and this floor was just a simple leisure workshop, as well as offices, etc., which was the foundation of the eighth, the most powerful deposit.
"Hello Miss Fox. ”
"Miss Fox is here, do you have time to cut it?"
"Miss Fox. ”
It seems that this woman, that is, Miss Fox is very familiar here, and people keep coming to greet her, but the woman didn't pay much attention to it, and just said coldly: "The minister called, don't dare to slack off." ”
Everyone seems to be used to the indifference of women and does not care.
Here, in the eighth place, everyone only claims strength, and people with strength, no matter how strange their temper is, no one will care.
"Miss Fox, please come in, the minister is waiting for you inside. ”
Another secretary, this is the secretary of Minister Zhang of the eighth department, it can also be said to be a bodyguard, even if Miss Fox thinks very highly of herself and is full of arrogance, but her demeanor is also gentle, because she is confident, she is not the opponent of this secretary, or in her impression, except for that person, no one can beat this secretary.
The Great Secretary is also the No. 1 master of the Eighth Division, which everyone admits.
This is Minister Zhang's office, which is no different from an ordinary office, even if there is, it can't be seen on the surface, as a unit like the eighth department, there is a place that can't be seen inside the office, of course, there is a lot of technology, but except for the minister, I'm afraid no one can know.
An old man with half-white hair, dressed in a black suit, watched the woman walk in energetically.
The woman stood upright, gave a military salute, and said, "Call me back in such a hurry, I don't know what task the minister needs me to complete?"
The old man nodded and said, "Sit down, this time I will call you back from the north, there is indeed something you need to do, take a look at this information, it is from the secret office of the No. 1 chief, the fifth level of special secrets." ”
"Don't worry, this is my authorization, and this matter has something to do with you. "At a woman's level, she doesn't have the right to view the fifth-level secret file, but with the authorization of the minister, it's fine.
The woman didn't pretentious, she didn't say anything, looking at the information, in fact, before she came, she had a faint feeling, or for that man, and now that she thinks about it, it's really not wrong at all.
There is not much information, except for the news that General Luo came back from the north, this time the training and actual combat, the northern army was completely annihilated, a hundred elite soldiers, eighty-nine people died, and the remaining eleven people were all wounded, even the tiger knife, as the leader of the elite soldiers, was also injured a lot, and he is still in a coma.
The woman put down the information, looked up, and did not ask, but the old man had already spoken: "Your task this time is to find the dragon knife." ”
The woman's expression shook slightly, and then, unexpectedly, a strange smile appeared on her cold face, and asked, "What if you find it, do you want me to bring him back?"
The old man lost his voice for a moment, and his old face revealed a kind of helplessness, a kind of irritability, and an inexplicable grievance.
"Fox knife, are you sarcastic about my old man, three years of training, failing year by year, the military management committee has already made a fortune, so I revisited the problem three years ago, my old man is just an executor, to put it mildly, I don't have the right to decide these things, just an errand runner, this is the decision of the No. 1 and No. 2 cores, I unconditionally abide by it. ”
"Last year, the eagle knife was injured, and it has not healed so far, this year it is the turn of the tiger knife, so next year, who will it be your fox knife?"
Yes, this fox lady is the fox knife, she is also from the dragon knife organization, and she is a comrade-in-arms with Eagle Knife, Tiger Knife and others.
The fox knife was not surprised, and said: "If it is needed by the empire, with an order, the fox knife will also put on armor and go into battle, and he will not hesitate to die, this is the oath I made on the day I became a soldier, but I still remember very clearly that when I disbanded the dragon knife, I said that you will regret it." ”
The old man sighed and said: "My old man admits that he is indeed the most powerful knife, and the entire dragon knife people combined, are not as powerful as him, if he has been a knife, he will live well, but the problem is that when a knife is unparalleled in the world and has its own consciousness, the consequences are not something that ordinary people can bear. ”
"No one can afford to do this, so they have to give him up. ”
Back then, no one knew better than Fox Knife, it didn't matter who was right and who was wrong, the important thing was that in the bloody massacre back then, that person proved himself, and in a fit of anger, he slaughtered the entire Fang family.
The top brass of the empire were shocked, or they never thought that the dragon sword, which had always been regarded as a sharp weapon of the empire, would be so powerful once it formed a destructive force, even if they sent the eight guards who were famous in the capital, it would be the consequence of falling one and four wounds, and now, the eight guards were only four guards left.
This kind of loss makes everyone feel distressed and almost unbearable.
But that person's strength also makes people scared, scared to the bone.
"Since you gave up, why did you want to find him back, isn't it asking for trouble?" Foxblade asked softly.
The old man smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know what the above thinks, but I believe that they will not feel good in their hearts when they make this decision, the blood of the Fang family is still floating in the sky of the capital, reminding us that he is no longer the ******** he was at the beginning, I think in the capital, many people are reluctant to see him come back, because he appeared in the capital, it is a knife at the head of those families." ”
"It seems that your Zhang family is also one of the families?" asked Fox Dao again.
Minister Zhang nodded and said, "So, I don't want him to come back, but the above ordered me to do it." ”
Fox Knife thought for a moment and said, "Can I refuse this task?"
The old man was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why, haven't you always wanted him to come back and see him?"
"I don't have the face to see him, he was given up, and I was one of the ones who gave up on him, how can I have the face to see him?" The woman's indifferent face had a kind of sentimentality, and she continued: "Moreover, if he doesn't want to see me, no matter how hard I try to find him, I may not be able to find him, no one can find him except himself, and no matter how many people you send, it is useless." ”
The old man didn't give her a chance to refuse, and said: "We have obtained a lot of information, I believe you can find him, if there is really no way, I can only use some bad means, the time given above is limited, I must try my best to find him." ”
Foxblade asked, "What about after finding him?"
"Our task is to find him, as for what happens after we find him, it will be handled by another person, this is not our task, I believe that the top of the empire also understands that with our eighth place, there is no way to bring him back. ”
"Well, I tried my best, but this time, I can't guarantee it. ”
The old man said, "You are the most suitable person, after all you have lived together, and you know his habits." ”
"Fox knife, I heard that in the past three years, you haven't been back, think about you are now twenty-seven years old, why, there are no plans to start a family, but I heard that the people who go to your house to propose relatives are about to break the threshold. ”
"Minister Zhang is in too much control, this is my private matter, and I don't want Minister Zhang to make no distinction between public and private. As he spoke, he put away a file bag and said, "I'll go first." ”
The fox knife walked away, Minister Zhang smiled bitterly, and failed to persuade again, this is to live up to the expectations of her old friend, this girl has even changed her name, I am afraid it is really difficult to forgive her family.
At the beginning, the Zhao family had no choice, as a family, the Zhao family could only stand on the side of the family, otherwise it would cause a group attack, and the consequences would be worrying!
