Chapter 58 (I) The Family Banquet of the Royal Family
(Today's fourth watch, the third watch!) Ask for votes! Ask for a tip! )
Tang Shuxing, who was holding a respirator, immediately inhaled oxygen, and when he realized that the person who grabbed him was swimming fast in the water, he understood that it was none other than Ji Kefeng, because only he, the implant, could swim so fast in the water, and he could almost use oxygen without using it.
Ji Kefeng swam to the bottom of the wreck, pointed to a stone there, motioned for Tang Shuxing to hold it tightly, and then asked him to take a few more breaths, so that his breathing rate and heart rate had dropped, and then he left with the oxygen cylinder.
Not long after, Ji Kefeng dragged Gu Huaiyi over again, and after Gu Huaiyi finished breathing, he gestured and asked him: Where did you enter?
Gu Huaiyi pointed to the side of the wreck, signaling to float up slowly from the side, and then dived down from the original smoke exhaust of the wreck.
After another toss, Ji Kefeng took the two of them into the chimney, and after Gu Huaiyi pried open the isolation window of the external decompression chamber, he took the two of them in, and then closed the isolation window and pressed the drain button.
A few minutes later, the seawater in the decompression chamber was all drained, Tang Shuxing took off his diving goggles and breathed heavily, looked at Ji Kefeng and asked, "Why are you here?" Have you been following us? ”
Ji Kefeng didn't answer, just took off the diving gloves and fins, and asked Gu Huaiyi at the same time: "How do you know that this place can be entered?" And how to use it? ”
"I was here a few years ago." Gu Huaiyi opened the backpack, and when Tang Shuxing looked at the backpack, he found that there were two small oral oxygen cylinders inside. When he was about to get angry, he suddenly realized that Gu Huaiyi had already prepared, but when they were close to the shipwreck, this kid found Ji Kefeng who was tracking, and in order to avoid the embarrassment of the sudden encounter, he simply didn't use it and forced Ji Kefeng to come out to rescue.
Gu Huaiyi handed the Dragon Lin Blade to Tang Shuxing, and at the same time glanced at Ji Kefeng intentionally or unintentionally, and asked, "The secret envoy asked you to follow us, right?" ”
"Yes." Ji Kefeng said expressionlessly," he said. This is my responsibility. I need to keep an eye on you. ”
"It doesn't sound like a lie." Tang Shuxing deliberately laughed.
Ji Kefeng didn't plan to dwell on this topic anymore, just put on his backpack, grabbed the KRISSSuperV submachine gun in his backpack, and slowly screwed on the muffler. Checking the armament.
Tang Shuxing looked at Ji Kefeng's backpack. Almost all of them are high-end weapons and equipment. nodded and said: "Shang has invested a lot of money, these things are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, right?" ”
Ji Kefeng still didn't say anything, just handed him a pistol and silencer in his bag. Tang Shuxing waved his hand and said no, opened his backpack, and saw that there were a lot of things in it, all of which were prepared for him by Ah Yue, MP7 submachine guns with mufflers, etc.
"I don't have a map of the area, you can only follow me." Gu Huaiyi motioned for the two of them to squat down, "The last time I came, I only found this entrance, but I don't know the exact location of King Shajiang of Ludao, although this is a refuge, it is actually a prison, an undersea prison, this shipwreck was deliberately scuttled for the construction of the 'most reluctant palace', and it is a new ship, made by the United States, and the U.S. government is also one of the shareholders." ”
Tang Shuxing raised his eyes and looked at the external decompression chamber they were in and said, "In other words, there are still some prisoners here who can't be killed, but can't be released, right?" ”
"Almost." Gu Huaiyi raised his hand to look at his watch, "In another fifteen minutes, it will be time for them to eat, some people will eat ten minutes earlier, and then replace the guards who should go to eat, but they have a blank time of five minutes for changing the guard, and we will leave at this time." ”
After Gu Huaiyi finished speaking, he took out the sponge and towel that he had prepared: "Wipe the water off your body, so that the water does not drip on the ground and leave traces." ”
The three of them wiped water stains on each other's bodies, checked their weapons and equipment, and tested the effect of the conversation, and when the time was up, they immediately opened the hatch and left through it after listening to the slow footsteps outside the corridor.
The national anthem of Thailand was played in the corridor, and although the singing could hide their movements, it also made it impossible for them to accurately judge whether there were guards coming from the corner in front of them, so they could only march step by step, in a front-line battle formation, close to the side of the corridor.
While the three of them slowly moved forward, the shipwreck was upper, inside the top restaurant of the original cruise ship.
In the middle of this large dining room with a capacity of 100 people, a table full of delicacies and six chairs are placed around it.
Although the diners had not yet taken their seats, the royal guards had already entered to inspect every corner of the room in advance. Although the restaurant is guarded by heavily armed soldiers 24 hours a day, the royal family members are still worried that these soldiers will be bribed, installed bugging devices, etc., so before entering the table, the royal guards will conduct a detailed inspection and test the dishes for poison.
The original hatches around the restaurant were built with underwater pressure-proof glass, which were opened during normal times, but during the meal, all the bulletproof steel plates around it would be dropped to prevent assassins from assassinating from the bottom of the sea.
After the royal guards finished inspecting, the groups of three were scattered in various corners of the three tables, outside them were the royal army soldiers who formed a second cordon against the wall, and outside the restaurant, in addition to the royal army soldiers, the rest was the third cordon formed by Zheng Guoyuan's personal guards.
After the bell rang, the king and queen walked into the banquet hall with their only prince, followed by Zheng Guoyuan and Zheng Qianlan, and after the three members of the royal family were seated, Zheng Guoyuan and his daughter Zheng Qianlan sat down, and the royal guards acted as waiters, prepared knives, forks, chopsticks, tablecloths and other utensils for everyone, and turned neatly to face the royal soldiers of the second line of defense.
"This is a family dinner, you're welcome." The king spoke, raising his glass, which contained the royal family's own wine, the whole process was closely monitored, and immediately after bottling, it was sealed in an incubator and transported here with almost no possibility of poisoning.
Zheng Guoyuan expressed his gratitude, took a sip and put down the cup, eating his own plate without much words. Although the king is the lord and he is the guest here, he is the absolute authority here in terms of the actual number of troops at his disposal, but he must maintain respect at all times, after all, the people of Thailand love the king, not a drug lord warlord who wants to clear his name and become a good person.
Although Zheng Qianlan, who was sitting opposite, was not as bold as usual, she looked very gentle when eating and drinking, and she could even be said to be a lady, but she was still wearing a military uniform, and it was a military uniform of the Thai army. Because just a few hours ago, the king had just canonized Zheng Qianlan as the commander of the royal guards, commanding the original troops under his command - in fact, the royal family's personal bodyguards and guards did not have any alert troops, this was just an empty title, just to add a reason for the Zheng family army to come to escort them, so that they could become legal from illegal.
"Father, when are we going back to Bangkok?" The prince, who was only fourteen years old, suddenly asked in a low voice, and as soon as this sentence came out, the other four people present were stunned, but the expression on the queen's face was obviously prepared, and the king understood at that time that the son's words were taught by his mother, and he also wanted to use the child's mouth to test it.
"We don't know what to say yet, but we can return to Bangkok when the situation calms down." The king smiled and said, "I'm sure the situation will settle down soon, right, General Zheng." ”
The king threw the problem to Zheng Guoyuan, who put down his chopsticks, stood up respectfully, bowed slightly to the king, and then said to the prince: "Your Highness, I personally think that you should learn how to protect yourself from now on, and then learn how to defeat the enemies of the country, and then how to govern the country." ”
Zheng Guoyuan has something to say, but it is ambiguous, so people can't find fault with it. In fact, it has been made clear in the words that the matter cannot be solved for a while, so the prince must be sensible as soon as possible.
"The general is right." The queen immediately played a round and motioned to the prince to dine quietly, this temptation was over, and she also understood in her heart that it could be seen from the actions of the Zheng family that they did not have any intention of hurting the royal family, and they might just use it, using the royal family to clear their identity.
However, most of the time, exploitation is a disservice in itself.
After a few bites, the king suddenly lost his appetite, and said: "The U.S. government has been putting pressure on us, hoping that we will not release the important people who are being held here no matter what, I don't quite understand what they mean, the royal family originally did not want to release them, and since four years ago, because of the actions of other big countries, we have also been forced to take in most of the alleged magic...... Magician. ”
The king's use of the words "great power" and "magician" shows that he was also well aware of his situation and what the causes of certain things were.
"Some things are medicine if they are used well, and poison if they are not used well, but the truth of 'medicine is three parts poison' should also be known to His Majesty." Zheng Guoyuan said slowly, "The same is true for the magician, if he can use it for me, it is medicine, otherwise, it is poison." ”
"General Zheng means......" The king subconsciously grabbed the table knife and slowly cut the shell of a lobster on the plate, without speaking.
Zheng Guoyuan looked at the table knife and the cut lobster in the king's hand, and nodded silently with his daughter Zheng Qianlan, and then Zheng Guoyuan said: "That's a last resort, as long as the situation doesn't expand and the Americans don't put pressure on it, then continue to lock it up." ”
The king put down the knife, looked at the lobster that had been cut open, and muttered, "King Shajiang's prophecy back then is almost half fulfilled now, right?" ”
After the king finished speaking, he looked at Zheng Guoyuan, but the father and daughter didn't hear it at all, just buried their heads in eating their own things.
The queen also put down her knife and fork at this time, took the soup and drank it slowly, while looking at her husband carefully, hoping that he would not say such frustrating words again, because here, in addition to Zheng Guoyuan's father and daughter, there are also bodyguards and soldiers of the personal guards.
The whole country is in chaos, and there is nothing else to attack the people around you who are absolutely loyal to you. (To be continued......)
