CHAPTER XXI

The dumplings at noon were quite pleasant, and it was also a great gain for Ge Chengzhi: he finally received first-hand information about Ouyang Yuhang. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Similar to the impression he got from other sources, Ouyang Pingshui was an older generation of generals who tended to be conservative in their thinking and looked forward to retirement. His attachment to power was not too great, as was evident from the fact that he was pleasantly talking about the plans drawn up by his chief of the general staff and deputy commander for the most recent campaign, in which he had no involvement at all. Of course, although it is not obvious, he is also a little concerned about the impact that his retirement may have on the moon: especially when it comes to the relationship between China and the moon......

"Shen Donghui, is it? Pingshui, he didn't mention your name in his correspondence with his family. He's really taking care of you in the army. ”

After all, in the field of modern diplomacy, diplomatic relations concluded using the means of "peace and affinity" practically no longer exist. Who knows if the Chinese government will be able to deal with a new situation if it arises?

Now that the first-hand information has been fully gathered, it is time to act. In any case, the question that needs to be asked today must be clarified. Xiang Mianyue Yiji made the gesture agreed before, and Ge Chengzhi put away the dishes and chopsticks into the sink in the kitchen, and waited for the former to create an environment for himself to talk to Ouyang Yuhang independently. On the other side, the commander-in-chief was smiling and using Ouyang Pingshui as a channel to talk to his comrades-in-arms, occasionally making a joke or two, just like all the elderly who care for their families, occasionally picking up the equipment of these people and telling their past stories. Suddenly, he got up from the couch: "I'm sorry, I'll go to the toilet first, you can talk to Feng Ji first." ”

At this time, Mianyue Yiji, who was sitting on the other side, also stood up - however, her movements were obviously marked with a hint of hesitation. It wasn't until Ouyang Yuhang looked at her that she finally spoke: "...... I'm sorry, brother-in-law. I want to go to the toilet now......"

The atmosphere around them suddenly became awkward. Obviously, for this kind of "home for two", a bathroom is enough, and the harsh environment of the moon does not allow too much waste. Looking at Mianyue Yiji, Ouyang Yuhang scratched his gray hair: "Then, I'll go to the public toilet in the headquarters." I'm not in a hurry anyway, you can just go. ”

At this time, Ge Chengzhi understood Mianyue Yiji's intention to say that kind of thing: if she occupied the toilet, then Ouyang Yuhang would inevitably go to the public toilet, and if she went over at this time, she would obviously have the opportunity to create an independent conversation environment. Standing up immediately, he buckled his helmet: "I'll go with you, Commander Ouyang." I just want to go to the bathroom, and besides, it's embarrassing for the dignified commander to not have a guard, right?"

"Haha, there's nothing embarrassing about this, after all, this is the headquarters of the Moon Capital. Smiling, Ouyang Yuhang still accepted Ge Chengzhi's statement, "Okay, let's go together, you won't be able to use the toilet here anyway." However, the nearest public toilet is very small, and there are only two people, so if you have any of you who want to go to the toilet, let Toyohime show you the way. ”

This sentence seemed to make Juniper stay there for a while, his mouth was closed one by one, judging from the performance just now, he should also want to follow in the footsteps of Ge Chengzhi, and want to use the excuse of "going to the toilet together" to continue to be close to Commander Ouyang. Smiling at this somewhat naked reaction, Ge Chengzhi stood up, put on his gun and followed behind Ouyang Yuhang.

Ouyang Yuhang's footsteps are very steady, so steady that it makes people feel that he doesn't look like an old man, obviously this will definitely have the results of his usual exercise. The footsteps of the two men mingled in the somewhat empty hallway, as if a troop was marching. Suddenly, Ge Chengzhi felt that Ouyang Yuhang had stopped, and immediately raised his head, but there was no room in front of him that looked like a toilet, only Ouyang Pingshui, who had become serious, and the smile just now had completely disappeared.

"Do you have anything to do with me, Comrade Squad Leader? I feel as if you want to talk to me alone, and Mianyue Yiji seems to be assisting you. ”

This sentence made Ge Chengzhi's body tremble: the little abacus here seemed to have been seen through. How did he see through it? He has no professional training, so it should be difficult for him to ...... No, now, it's more important......

Just as he was pondering what excuse to use to prevaricate with the performance, Ouyang Yuhang shook his head: "Don't be nervous, I don't mean to ask you." Originally, I was going to talk to you about it. ”

"Comrade 'Black Mountain Old Demon'. This period of work has worked hard for you. ”

"Is it really nice to put them all over there and just call me out? It feels like we're talking about some conspiracy. ”

"What's so bad? Even a man who doesn't understand the atmosphere will always leave a little room for the two sisters to talk. Holding the reluctant Mianyue Yiji's hand, Mianyue Fengji walked into her room, and then quietly closed the door, "It's been a long time since the two of us sisters have talked alone like this, right?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I think you can understand what I'm really here for today. I'm not here to talk happily about homely things. Stretching out her hand to adjust the state of the door to one-way transparency, Mianyue Yiji pointed to the Gensokyo trio who were now sitting on the big sofa in the living room, and then pointed to Ouyang Pingshui who was sitting on the other side, "If you want to talk about family life, you should go to him." ”

"yes. Pingshui is a good boy. With a certain lonely gaze, Mianyue Fengji looked at Ouyang Pingshui's figure outside the room, "Moreover, only in front of Pingshui, can I really talk about family life." ”

Seeing her sister with such a look, Yi Ji couldn't help but feel a heartache. She can actually understand her sister's "abnormal performance" during this time: for Mianyue Fenghime, the word "family" has always been an unattainable existence. You can't expect your parents to bring you a family atmosphere, and Bayi Yonglin's indifferent temperament won't have any interest in this kind of thing. As for the two sisters who have been dependent on each other since childhood, because their positions are really mixed with too many interests, and the kind of care between family members can rarely appear in the dialogue between the two, and the situation is the same on Ouyang Yuhang's side, not to mention, Mianyue Fengji's love for Ouyang Yuhang is far from fading......

The only one who can let Mianyue Fengji seek the family affection she desperately desires is Ouyang Pingshui.

It's a pity that Ouyang Pingshui doesn't understand this kind of thing. He can only receive Mianyue Fengji's insistence on the identity of "grandma" and the overwhelming enthusiasm under inexplicable circumstances. Mianyue Fengji actually knew about Ouyang Pingshui's reaction for a long time - how could she not know? However, she could only wishfully believe that her "grandson" would one day accept this deliberately created family atmosphere. At that time, Mianyue Fengji's ideal family was finally formed.

"Astronaut is also retiring, so I sometimes wonder if I should retire with him and move to Earth...... Oh, don't show that look, I'm kidding. Seeing that her sister's face stiffened suddenly, Feng Ji covered her mouth and smiled, "Do you want to come and ask me for my opinion on how to deal with those three people?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well. I should say that I hope to make their lives more stable. After all...... How so...... There is also a part of the friendship in the ......"

"Hmm...... But Ge Yiwei has already been killed by you, why is there still friendship left?" Looking at Mianyue Yiji, who immediately wanted to defend, Feng Ji hurriedly waved her hand, "Okay, okay, don't say anything." Actually, I already have some ideas. There's been a mission that works well for you and the three of you?"

"Shall I go with me, too? But, what is going on here......"

"It's all arranged. If there is no representative of the moon capital who can control the field in this mission, your brother-in-law and I will be very troubled. Smiling as if she was really troubled, Mizuki Toyohime replied, "I can only rest assured if you do something." And, there's a surprise waiting for you over there. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Surprise?"

"Yes, I discussed it with Yuhang after receiving your news, and I think this is the best way to deal with it. Oops, I can't say what it is. How's it going, can you relax about this now?"

"The more you talk about it, the more I can't let go......" sighed worriedly, Mianyue Yiji shook her single ponytail, "However, you have to do it, it must be something very important." Don't worry, I'll be sure to finish it beautifully. ”

"That's for the best. However, there is one more thing that is important than just the task. As if teaching a disobedient child, Mianyue Fengji gently tapped Mianyue Yiji's head with her index finger, "You have to have a good time." You're tired all this time, aren't you? I just want you to have a good time now. ”

"I see, sister. I'll be happy. The corners of her mouth pulled upward, and Mianyue Yiji nodded, "Just let me look forward to the surprise you have prepared." ”

"Hmm. By the way, let those three in. I also have something I want to ask them. …… Wait," Suddenly, as if she had noticed something unusual, Mizuki Yiji's eyebrows twisted into a ball, "Where did Hakurei's shrine maiden go?"

"Your boss asked me to contact you, mainly because I was too hasty in assigning you the task this time, and I didn't explain many things clearly. Sitting in this room that seemed to be specially prepared, Ouyang Yuhang first slapped his pistol on the table to show that he was now unarmed. This kind of precious and decisive trust made Ge Chengzhi really feel "flattered", "But, since you have already found a way to contact me, you must have doubted it, right?"

Speaking of this, the old general smiled: "Hua Botao said that you are a person who is particularly able to exert your own initiative, it seems that what you said is true, and you have started to take advantage of my sister-in-law so easily." ”

"You...... You've won a prize. "Strange, there was a feeling that there was an old man sitting across from him. Sure enough, those who have deep friendships with the old man are not good stubble. Pretending to be a little scared, Ge Chengzhi shook his head, "However, I do have some doubts. If you need to be held accountable for acting without authorization......"

"It doesn't matter. If you need to take responsibility, let me bear it. I'm going to be retiring right away anyway. Taking a sip of water generously, Ouyang Yuhang responded, "I have roughly guessed your question." When the organization assigned you a mission, it said that we had obtained relevant information, and my grandson was surrounded by spies from the underworld, and he was worried that the underworld would use my position and identity to do something. However, after actually coming into contact with Ouyang Pingshui and my information, you begin to suspect that there is no way to threaten me to do anything just by relying on Pingshui, so the Underworld, which has always been cautious, should not take such a risky move, right?"

"Yes. And I'm not going to change my opinion. You will never be the kind of person who would sell out the interests of the country for the safety of your grandchildren. ”

"Oh, is that a confidence in your own vision?"

"No," waving his hand, Ge Chengzhi stretched out his index finger and pointed to his nose, "It's confidence in his sense of smell." Our line of work is similar to that of dogs, after all, dogs have legs, and the nose is much more reliable than the eyes. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Haha, hahahahaha, is the young man right. After laughing twice, Ouyang Yuhang stood up, waved his hand, and a holographic screen unfolded between the two. What was displayed on the screen was chessβ€”but two and a half games of chess that had been split from the Han realm of the Chu River, "Don't you have some thoughts on this issue yourself? It may not be possible to say it, but you can boldly draw it for me." ”

…… If we allude to the current political situation of the earth and the moon, the red chess pieces should mean China, the black is the Nazi, the white is the moon capital, and the variegated ...... How many other people are waiting?

After thinking for a while, Ge Chengzhi nodded, and first put together the chessboard of the white chess pieces and the black ones to form a battlefield. Then, he placed the two "pawns" in the red chess pieces on the front line of the white side, and took the red "rook" and placed them next to the white "phase".

"The pieces can be cut and recombined, or dyed, to try to make the situation a little clearer. ”

At Ouyang Yuhang's prompting, Ge Chengzhi cut off a part of the red "rook" and the white "phase" and combined them into a nondescript new chess piece, placed it next to the red "soldier", and then knocked on the new chess piece, so that the appropriate purple seeped into the original color of the chess piece. Finally, he raised his head, looked at Ouyang Yuhang, pointed to the new chess pieces, and then pointed to the red chessboard behind him: "Over there, worried about turning white or black?"

Ouyang Yuhang didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

This made Ge Chengzhi figure it out. It is true that Ouyang Yuhang is not the kind of person who will betray the interests of the country because of his grandson, but the central government has begun to suspect this general who is far away on the earth's satellite. As the commander-in-chief of the Guanghan Palace base, and as the husband of Mianyue Fengji, Ouyang Yuhang has reached the point where it is not too much to establish an independent country on the moon. Although in the past few years, the central government, which has realized this early, has transferred the main command of the troops stationed on the moon to the chief of staff and other deputy commanders who can control it, but the risk of Ouyang Yuhang's treason and self-reliance still exists. If, at this time, his grandson made some inappropriate moves due to the intervention of enemy spies, it may have provided an opportunity to remove this risk......

However, Hua Botao, the head of the intelligence department, judged that the occurrence of Ouyang Yuhang being taken down by the central government at such a time may cause serious consequences. The reason for this? The stability of the lunar forces? This should not be the case. Because he was worried that Ouyang Yuhang would resist and make a choice that might not have defected, and then leak the secret......?

"For a number of reasons, I am in charge of the military side of the 0001 project. Some people seem to be interested in this project. ”

…… 0001 project...... I've heard of it, it's a top-secret project. In other words, if Ouyang Yuhang is suddenly replaced at this time, there is a great possibility that this project will be infiltrated by the underworld when the work is handed over. His brows gradually relaxed, and Ge Chengzhi nodded: "Moreover, your wife also likes this grandson, right?"

Ouyang Yuhang was silent again. Suddenly, he stood in front of the holographic chessboard, stretched out his hand and wrote the words "0001" on it, and then put the new chess pieces and a red "pawn" on the number, and then operated twice on the board with his right hand, and a brand new half of the chessboard of a certain color slowly emerged.

It's purple. …… This time, the underworld spy lurking beside Ouyang Pingshui is of a very high level, and you want me to use the 0001 project to fish out the high-level of the underworld!?

"Mrs. Jiang is fishing. ”

"Of course," Ouyang Yuhang nodded at Ge Chengzhi's confirmation, "Those who wish to take the bait." ”

The old and the young glanced at each other, and then they both got the answers they wanted from each other's eyes. At this time, there was a sudden knock at the door, and Reimu's voice was slightly cold for some reason: "Now is not the time to play the meditation machine. The enemy has infiltrated here......"

Then, through the one-way transparent wall that Ouyang Yuhang had immediately adjusted, Ge Chengzhi saw something flash in front of Lingmeng's body. After that, the corpse of a moon rabbit that had been cut into four pieces slowly fell to the ground in front of her, and her blood-red eyes watched this scene quietly, her eyes as cold as a piece of metal.

"Gather the troops. ”
