Chapter 18 (II) Coup d'état
The apparent calm of Shandu continued, the Shantus gathered in private, and there were even rumors that the Creator had been imprisoned in a coup d'état, and the giant city of the Ark became very strange, and the streets that were once crowded on national holidays could now only see a few people wearing gas masks walking around, and the rest were the police of the Citizen Control Bureau on duty on the streets.
Gu Huaiyi drove towards Ji Kefeng's house, it was an independent house on the shore of an artificial lake, this was the house that Reinhardt rewarded to this Shangdu hero back then, there are only five big houses in the entire independent residential area, four of which are empty, only Ji Kefeng lives in one of them, and the other four are said in the propaganda to be left to the future Shangdu heroes, which is equivalent to giving the residents living in Shangdu a hope - anyone can become a figure like Ji Kefeng and Gu Huaiyi.
But it is simply impossible to be them, because the experience of these three people has no one to replicate.
The car finally stopped outside Ji Kefeng's house, and before coming in, Gu Huaiyi passed through five checkpoints, from the outermost police post of the Citizen Control Bureau to the special police post, and then to the military guard post inside, he, who is also a secret envoy, must also go through all kinds of inspections and scans, which is exactly the same as Ji Kefeng going to his house, and he must also go through strict inspection.
When Gu Huaiyi got out of the car, Ji Kefeng was already waiting at the door, and today he was dressed very casually because of his vacation, casual sweater, jeans and a baseball cap.
"You really have time to come to my house as a guest." Ji Kefeng stood at the door and said with a smile.
Gu Huaiyi took off his windbreaker. Handed the car keys to Ji Kefeng's guard: "What?" You are not welcome? ”
"Welcome, why not." Ji Kefeng said with a smile.
When Gu Huaiyi spoke, he saw Ami walking out with Ji Kefeng's son Ji Mufeng, and after Ji Mufeng saw Gu Huaiyi, he rushed over, waving the plastic sword in his hand and shouting: "Monster, suffer death, watch me Tang Shu torture you to death!" ”
Gu Huaiyi was stunned for a moment, pretending to be a sword, while Ami and Ji Kefeng were smiling on the side.
Ji Mufeng stepped forward, patted Gu Huaiyi, who was pretending to be dead, and said, "Uncle Gu." Don't pretend. My sword is a fake. ”
Gu Huaiyi opened his eyes: "Really?" It turned out to be fake, but I thought it was real. ”
"It's really pretending!" Ji Mufeng smiled disdainfully, and Ami immediately reprimanded Ji Mufeng for being rude in his words.
"It's okay, kid." Gu Huaiyi touched Ji Mufeng's head. "Do you want to confirm the story of your Uncle Tang Shu with me again? Do you think your dad is wrong? ”
Ji Mufeng shook his head: "The story you told me." I didn't even learn it in textbooks. The teachers at the school didn't know about your stories, and when I told them them, they were stupid. ”
"Oh-" Gu Huaiyi nodded. glanced at Ji Kefeng, and asked again, "Then what do you want to ask?" ”
Ji Mufeng raised the plastic sword in his hand: "I want to ask, is Uncle Tang Shuxing's Dragon Lin Blade like this?" ”
"Did your dad say yes?" Gu Huaiyi asked rhetorically.
Ji Mufeng frowned: "Uncle Gu, let me ask you, why are you asking my father?" ”
"It's not!" Gu Huaiyi shook his head, and Ji Mufeng immediately looked back at Ji Kefeng proudly and said, "Dad, did you hear it?" Uncle Gu said no. ”
Gu Huaiyi took the sword in Ji Mufeng's hand: "Your sword is better than your Uncle Tang Shuxing!" ”
"Liar, this is plastic or not, it's not interesting, you treat me like a child." Ji Mufeng's face sank, said goodbye to Gu Huaiyi, turned around and ran to the backyard.
"Old Gu, I'm sorry, Mu Feng is spoiled." Ami apologized.
Gu Huaiyi waved his hand: "I said that children should be like children." ”
Ami nodded: "Then you talk first, and I'll prepare some refreshments for you." ”
"Thank you, sister-in-law." Gu Huaiyi smiled, and waited for Ami to turn around and enter the house before he put away his smile and looked at the artificial lake a hundred meters away, "Look at you, how happy you are, you should be the happiest person in Quanshangdu now." ”
Ji Kefeng nodded and walked towards the artificial lake: "Maybe, aren't you happy?" ”
Gu Huaiyi didn't continue Ji Kefeng's words: "Director Xia has been very busy these days, do you know? ”
Ji Kefeng said "um": "I heard that the Intelligence Bureau has sent a report to me for assistance, saying that it is possible to use the Air Force and Navy to assist, but we don't need to carry arms, just monitor and supervise." ”
"I also received it here, originally Director Xia didn't say why he did this, but I inquired about it, and I heard that it was because of the private meeting of Shangdu sects." Gu Huaiyi stopped, and at this time the two had already walked to the lake.
Ji Kefeng frowned: "A private meeting? They can assemble openly, and Shantuism is the state religion, not any other religion. ”
"It's a rumor, it's rumored that there was a coup d'état in Shangdu, and the Creator was held hostage in the coup d'état, and now he is under house arrest, so this group of cultists thinks that now we are all unreliable, and even the intelligence bureau cannot be trusted, and there are even rumors that they have begun to buy weapons and launch an operation to protect the leader." Gu Huaiyi lit the flue.
Ji Kefeng looked at Gu Huaiyi and lit a cigarette: "You smoke enough here, don't smoke when you enter the house, my house is non-smoking." ”
"Just do what you say." Gu Huaiyi smiled, "I'm just talking to you, I'm going to leave later, I'm in charge of the army, and I must participate in the operations of the Intelligence Bureau." ”
"What?" Ji Kefeng frowned, "Your army needs to participate in the operations of the Intelligence Bureau?" For the first time. ”
Gu Huaiyi nodded: "Yes, so I judged that Director Xia didn't have much manpower on his side." ”
Ji Kefeng felt strange: "What about the elite soldiers under her command?" ”
"I guess I'm going to the underground Shangdu." Gu Huaiyi lowered his voice and subconsciously glanced around, "You must know that the rumor that Reinhardt had an accident should not be groundless, I guess something really happened, so we need the people of the Intelligence Bureau to go back to the underground to protect it, and at the same time, we also need to assist the Intelligence Bureau on the ground to stabilize the situation." ”
Ji Kefeng looked at the calm lake and said, "Will things be so strict?" ”
"You know the fanaticism of the cultists, that group of people has long been brainwashed. They are not the same as the corpse army, the corpse army is only conscious of absolute obedience, if they are out of control consciousness, they will have independent thoughts, and those disciples started many years ago, subconsciously really thought that Reinhardt is God, they are God's people, they are the most noble people, they can do a qiē thing for God, do you remember the sacrifice incident back then? Gu Huaiyi asked in a low voice.
Ji Kefeng nodded. Of course they remember. That was a few years after the outbreak of the all-out war, when a group of Shandus thought that the "war of peace" in Shandu was progressing too slowly, and some people came out to say that it was because there was no sacrifice to God, and sacrifice required living people. So there was a group of people who began to sacrifice in various ways. For example, suicide by jumping into a river. Collective medication and other ridiculous ways, when the intelligence bureau got the news and arrived. The death toll has already exceeded three hundred.
Although the leaders were arrested, the matter had to be stopped because they were also doing it for the sake of the Creator, and Reinhardt also ordered them to be taken to the underground Shangdu. At that time, Ji Kefeng and Gu Huaiyi thought that Reinhardt was preparing to re-brainwash these people, but what they didn't expect was that this incident completely laid a hidden danger for the future - most believers saw that after the sacrifice, they would go underground to Shangdu to see the true god, so many people began to do the same sacrifice in private, so that the intelligence bureau ran around in a few years, and finally it was not easy to curb the evil wind, but I didn't expect that now at the juncture of peace negotiations, something similar happened, and this incident was even more terrifying, The fanatics went so far as to raise the banner of armed action.
"Even if they were to be armed, would it be that easy? The people of Shangdu are not allowed to own firearms. Ji Kefeng frowned, leaned over and picked up the stone and threw it towards the lake.
Gu Huaiyi stood behind and said in a low voice: "The news from my own intelligence channel says that they smuggled firearms, bought them in the hands of the resistance organization, and they have both light and heavy weapons, if they have that condition, it is estimated that they can even buy tanks and armored vehicles." ”
Ji Kefeng sighed and said, "What is the intelligence bureau going to do?" No, how did the Creator decide? ”
"Lord Creator has not shown up so far, I judge from the order from Director Xia that the Intelligence Bureau is ready to persuade first, if the persuasion does not work, and they still go their own way, then there is only one way." Gu Huaiyi sighed and said, "It should be caught, it should be killed, the leader should be killed first, and the thief should be captured first." ”
"Bloody day." Ji Kefeng squatted down, "Are you going to leave soon?" ”
"Well, I'll leave right away, my special forces are on standby, and now I'm waiting for the order of the intelligence bureau, their people are staring at the lair of those guys, I don't know the exact location, but I promise, as soon as the order is issued, my people will be on the scene within fifteen minutes, and I have to go there myself this time." Gu Huaiyi said and unbuttoned his suit, revealing the black combat uniform and armed belt inside.
Ji Kefeng glanced at it: "It's okay, no matter how fanatical that group of disciples is, they are at most corpses, and it is easy for you to eliminate them." ”
"I hope so!" Gu Huaiyi got up after speaking, "I hope to rush back to have dinner at your house, and I must remember to ask Ami to make her best cream-baked lobster." ”
Ji Kefeng said with a smile: "Today our family eats hot pot. ”
"I also like to eat hot pot." Gu Huaiyi smiled, turned around and left quickly.
Ji Kefeng also walked back to the house slowly, and when he came to the door, Ami wearing an apron also walked out, followed by Ji Minxing with a cane behind Ami, and on the sofa in the living room behind Ji Minxing, Tang Dingfeng was sitting there watching TV in a daze.
"What's the matter?" Ji Minxing asked, struggling to speak.
"It's okay, Dad, it's something at work." Ji Kefeng smiled, "By the way, did you and Uncle Tang take medicine?" ”
Ji Minxing nodded, turned around and entered the house.
After Ji Minxing returned to the house, Ami asked, "Kefeng, is there an accident?" ”
"Well, almost, today's outings have been cancelled, and the scope of activities is limited to artificial lakes and houses." After Ji Kefeng finished speaking, he deliberately showed a relaxed smile, put his wife's shoulder and said, "It's okay, Director Xia and Lao Gu will solve it." ”
Ami was even more uneasy when she heard Ji Kefeng say this, she knew very well what it meant that the Intelligence Bureau and the Army were dispatched...... (To be continued......)
