Chapter 47: Unless I Die

The town guard of Gelst

"Commander, you just let them go?" Lexington looked at the Admiral sitting in his chair with a comfortable face, and he didn't quite understand. She was standing outside the door the whole time just now, and through the crack in the door, she could see the scene of the admiral negotiating with the other party. It was unfriendly, almost tense, and if it hadn't been for the Admiral's hint in advance, Lexington might have really fired on the two unsuspecting guys and sent them to hell. She is a person who has experienced life and death, and she has long looked down on such things as killing. Now the Admiral is the most important person to her, no matter who it is, don't try to touch him.

"So you want to keep them?" Set of prayers.

"Or else?" Lexington's eyes flashed like a clear shadow like a sword, "They have already killed you, Commander, if it weren't for the Commander's talent being stronger than his, maybe you wouldn't be able to stand here and talk now." ”

"I know." Jiqi sighed, a little helpless.

"Then why did you let him go?" Lexington asked, "I've seen a lot of this kind of person, every time I meet someone stronger than him, I feel like a grandson, and when I meet someone who can be kneaded, I'm as unreasonable as a bully." If you don't hurt him, he won't be afraid. ”

"But I don't have the power to deal with them right now." Jiqi shook his head, "They are still the dominant family in the Pacific Ocean, and before the investigation team came, anyone who acted rashly was a bird, and their shotguns in their hands were designed to shoot such birds. ”

"So, Commander, are you trying to be patient?"

"That's the only way to do it right now." He sighed softly, "Even so, I got some important information from them. ”

"What's the message? About the deep sea? ”

"Not all, there are deep sea ones, Xu Kai's, and mine." Ji Qi Ji Qi rubbed some swollen temples and had some headaches. The information he knew was too messy and too scattered, like a clueless thread, and all he had to do now was find the threads in the tangled threads, and sort everything out one by one. "The deep sea is their partner, that's for sure."

"What are they doing this for?" Lexington didn't think it was a surprising story for the Admiral to cooperate with the Deep Sea, she had heard of such news, after all, the saying that the world is all for profit is not in vain, as long as there is enough interest, people can take their lives.

"I don't know, some are just for a small profit, and some are for a bigger goal. After all, the battle between the deep sea and humans has always been the other party's upper hand, and it is still good to rely on the strong to be the founder of the country. "Gather prayers and make a sober analysis." Next is about Xu Kai's plan. ”

"Xu Kai is really alive?" Lexington came to believe in the wonderful fact that a lauded martyr was alive and not dead.

"Yes, that's for sure, but I think he's a martyr now." Jiqi sighed weakly, his eyes a little red and swollen. Although they had never met, it was clear that he meant something to him. Remind yourself to be careful of the Macallan and let Noah's Ark come to save you without a hint of malice.

"Commander, are you saying that they will kill Xu Kai?"

"Yes, and it's probably already been implemented." Jiqi pinched the wing of his nose, and his voice was a little choked. "After all, this investigation team is aimed at Xu Kai, and in order to prevent themselves from completely failing, they must let the dead die again, so that there is no proof of death."

"In that case, wouldn't the mission return in vain?" Lexington asked.

"No, it won't." Jiqi shook his head, rejecting Lexington's speculation. "According to the information that Scar gave me, even if they couldn't find any evidence, they would remove Mecarron from his position as dean and replace him with another person. This is a conspiracy by those in power, and they will not allow an opaque institution to appear under their noses. ”

"So Mercaren will leave here after that?"

"yes, that's where I get a headache because I don't know where he's going to go or what he's going to do next. He's a stubborn old man who never makes a pointless exchange. ”

"Then why did they find you, Commander?"

"Because I'm part of the loophole, I don't have any records in the Governor's Palace, and I know that. It turned out that the allowance and reimbursement of resources from the town guard had always been borne by the college, but it was only stamped with the seal of the governor's palace. ”

"Now that the Lord is coming, they have to take the counterfeit with them?"

"Yes!" Jiqi nodded, "If you can't take it away, you can only destroy it." No matter what they didn't do now, they didn't take it away or destroy it. He tapped lightly on the table, frowning. What worries me the most now is their future plans, Xu Kai's hidden danger they can easily solve, but I'm here, I don't know what way they will use to solve it once and for all. ”

"Didn't Scar finally say that there would be no next move?" Lexington eavesdropped on the entire conversation outside the door, naturally knowing the other party's final answer.

"That's just what he said, not Mecarron. That cunning guy is a perfectionist and won't let his plans go wrong. Jiqi has a headache, even if he thinks about the whole incident from the perspective and position of the other party now, he can't think of any way to clean up his stumbling block, but if he doesn't clean it up, it won't work, if he is tracked down by the investigation team, this will be a new crime, and it is not small. Like the sword of Damocles far above his head, it can be fatal at any time, and Mercarron, who is known for her shrewdness, will never let such a possibility happen, even if it is only a faint possibility.

"And what will he do?" Lexington asked.

"I don't know, I'm completely clueless." Ji Qi sighed, he stood up, the sun was in full bloom outside the window, and the hot breath permeated the sea, but he felt a chill from the bottom of his heart.

"Commander, there is no need to worry too much, now we have enough strength to protect ourselves, even if the other party has any plans, we must weigh them." Lexington spoke comfortingly. Her only duty as a secretary was to share the admiral's worries, but now she could only watch him frown, but she couldn't do anything about it, and at that moment, she felt deep self-reproach.

"yes, I still have you." Ji Qi exhaled and smiled, and there was a relaxed look on his face again. As Lexington said, he is not a soft persimmon that anyone can pinch, and even if Macallen has any schemes, he is fearless. He reached out and stroked the girl's head, silky long hair running between his fingers.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————

"Okay, okay, office hours are over, why don't we go to relax in the afternoon?" Jiqi is full of smiles.

"How can you be in the mood to go out when it's so hot?" Lexington pouted, looking reluctant, "Besides, now that the town guard has everything he should have, there is nothing to go out and buy." ”

"Who said there was nothing to buy." Jiqi pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket, a gift given to him when he graduated from the academy, and it was a must-have for every admiral. He picked up the herbal tea on the table, soaked it in the tea, and then gently brushed the girl's long flaxen-colored hair, and put the handkerchief with water on his forehead. "It seems that our town guard is going to buy a few air conditioners, it's so hot, my secretary ship is sweating, this can't be done." He quipped, running his finger over the tip of the girl's nose.

"Well, thank you, Commander." Lexington blushed and whispered, feeling the faint scent of the Admiral's body, like the fragrance of a blooming orchid, burrowing into her nose little by little, making her feel reassured. She raised her hand slightly, grabbed the somewhat thin wrist, and raised her eyes to look at the young man staring at her, a bay of clear water flowing in her eyes. "The commander is also sweating, why don't you wipe it?"

"It's okay," Jiqi smiled stupidly, and wiped it with the back of his hand casually, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, "Mother once told me that girls are much more delicate than boys, they are flowers blooming in the greenhouse, and when you meet a girl who likes you, you must take care of her like a flower, which is the responsibility of a boy." So, now I'm taking care of you, you're the blooming magnolia, I'm just a flower. ”

"Hasn't the Commander heard such a story?" Lexington covered his mouth and chuckled, his eyes flashing with a glimmer like water, "The flower demon fell in love with the gardener who took care of her after becoming a spirit, and then lived happily together. Isn't this the plot it should be? ”

"So the secretary-sama wants to say that you are Miss Flower Demon who came to find the gardener?" Ji Qi continued.

"Alas, there is no way, who told you to take away other people's hearts in your previous life, and now you can only pour out your affection." The girl grabbed the Admiral's palm and placed it on her cheek, feeling the warmth of the other through the palm of her hand. "So, you must take good care of me and take care of yourself in the future, I won't let my admiral disappear in front of me like a company, even if I catch the corpse, I have to stay with him for the rest of my life."

"If you want to be so disgusting, don't let the corpse go." Jiqi pinched Lexington's smooth face, and there was a smile in his eyes. He had heard the story of the company and Xu Kai, and he also knew that now their ending, the admiral is dead, and the ship's mother will not live alone, he looked at the girl with a serious light in his eyes, and the idea of protecting the girl forever became more and more firm.

"Why, I've heard from the Japanese shipwrewn that they have a scumbag with two boats on their feet, just like you. In order to keep her beloved by her side forever, the girl stabbed him to death with a knife, cut off his head, and spent her life with him. ”

"So Lexington, you're going to do the same?" Jiqi feigned a look of horror.

"It depends on your performance, Commander, if I'm not satisfied, maybe I'll discuss it with Wales, and one half will be split in the middle." The girl hummed softly, a smile that couldn't be hidden in her eyes.

"That's not good, how can a handsome admiral like me die so miserably, no, I must behave well, satisfy the secretary ship, and then let me live a few more days." Jiqi looked flattering.

"That's pretty much it." Lexington gripped the boy's hand and smiled at him, whispering softly. "So, Commander, you won't leave us like that Xu Kai, right?"

"No, unless I die." Jiqi's eyes are firm, like a straight knife that will never bend, and he made a vow to the girl.

"Me too, I won't leave the commander unless I die." The girl's voice was soft, but unmistakable.
