Chapter 170: Comrades-in-Arms

When Hitomi found Javier's bedroom in the direction Marika had specified, she found that the lights were still on, and through the window next to her, you could see the figure of a man sitting at a desk and meditating through papers.

Red Hitomi walked to the main entrance, raised her right hand, hesitated for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and then knocked firmly on the door three times.

"Knock knock."

She can't be allowed to be nervous, whether it is for her or for the "Night Raid", the next decisions of the men inside will directly affect their fate.

After all, they were former mortal enemies, and how much trust Javier would have in them, to be honest, Red Pupil's heart didn't know the bottom.

But as Najeta had said, they had very few options to choose from these days, and there was no one else in the empire who had the most influence and might accept them but Javier.

"Come in."

A cold and calm voice came from inside the room, and Red Hitomi finally made up her mind, and then resolutely pushed the door in.

The picture is a very spacious bedroom, with brown floors and surrounding furniture, and walls and ceilings painted with light brown paint, giving it a warm atmosphere.

A dark brown carpet stretched to the desk in front of the room, and on the left and right walls hung several particularly stylish sconces that emitted a soft light.

Sitting behind his desk, Javier put aside the papers in his hand, and then looked at the uninvited girl in front of him, and his expression didn't seem particularly surprised.

"It's been a long time, Red Hitomi." Javier looked at the girl calmly, "Since you knocked on the door so politely, you shouldn't have come to assassinate me...... If it's convenient, can you explain your intention? ”

"Since you knew I was coming, you should know what I was here for, right?" Red Hitomi paid attention to Javier's expression as she spoke.

"I can guess a few." Javier nodded calmly, "I have placed a lot of eyeliner in the revolutionary army, although some of them were purged by your so-called leader not long ago, the rest of them still conveyed a lot of useful information to me, and Najeta's movements are also one of them......"

"I know Najeta and what she's after, so I'm not surprised that you're here...... However, although there are many speculations, there are some things that I still hope to hear from you, who are the aces of the 'Night Raid', so that I can rest assured. ”

Red Hitomi nodded in understanding, and after seeing Javier's seemingly non-hostile attitude, her original hanging heart gradually let go.

"Boss told me to tell you ......"

Red Hitomi began to tell in detail, including Najeta's decision to defect and help the empire quell the rebellion after weighing it up, about the overall strategy of the revolutionary army, about the "Death Thorn", and about the secret planning of the Taoist leader of Anning and the governor of Northeast China, Dai Nadi......

If these things were made public, each of them would be enough to cause an uproar, and although Javier had been listening expressionlessly, it could be seen from the pair of sword eyebrows that gradually tightened that his heart was not without fluctuations.

“…… That's all. ”

After the red pupil finished speaking, he let out a long breath, and then a pair of red eyes stared at Javier's face, waiting for the man to make a statement.

Javier closed his eyes and fell silent, as if digesting this information, and after a long time, he reopened his eyes, nodded to the red pupil and said, "I understand the current situation, it seems that the situation in the empire is more unfavorable than I expected, and the information you brought is very valuable......"

"As for Najeta's rebellion, as long as the two scourges of An Ning Dao and Dai Nadi are removed, when I return to the imperial capital, I will immediately write to the imperial court to exonerate her from responsibility, and even I can help her regain her former position...... Of course, this requires you to make a martial arts that is enough to atone for your crimes. ”

Red Hitomi shook her head and said, "The boss didn't decide to help the empire for such selfish reasons. ”

"I know, cousin, she's never been a difficult person to understand." "She thinks that the war in front of her is meaningless and stupid, and that it will bring ruin to the people, so she wants to stop it, to end it...... Even if doing so would put her in the company of her former enemies, even if doing so would make her bear a stigma that will be difficult to wash away for the rest of her life, she still did not escape and resolutely chose the most difficult path......"

"What a stupid woman, but especially admirable. So, at least to the best of my ability, I will not hesitate to help. ”

Chi Pupil's eyes widened slightly, because the only communication with Javier was a life-and-death battle on the battlefield, so seeing him talk so well at this time, I couldn't help but have a somewhat subverted impression of him.

"Is it okay to just trust me like that? Aren't you worried that it's an elaborate trap? Red Hitomi couldn't help but ask.

"Why, do you think I should be suspicious?" Javier asked rhetorically.

“…… Belch. ”

Red Hitomi froze in place, not knowing how to answer.

Seeing this, Javier couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Don't worry, as the commander of a legion, I have tens of thousands of lives on my shoulders, and I can't afford to be careless, and naturally I won't let my guard down because of some subjective trust or recognition......

"As a second-hand preparation for insurance, if you really plan to use this as bait for some other attempts, I can guarantee that you will be the one who will pay the price in the end."

Hearing him say the threatening words so frankly, Red Hitomi couldn't describe what kind of mood he was feeling at the moment, so he nodded indifferently and said, "'Night Raid' would never do something like that." ”

"I don't think so, I still trust Najeta's character, so what I said just now was just a casual remark, please don't take it personally."

Javier stood up, walked around the desk to Red Hitomi, and held out his hand to her.

"What happened in the past, I won't simply just let it pass, the blood feud between me and the 'Night Raid' is a fact that can't be erased...... You can choose to remember, or even take revenge, but I hope that all this will be postponed until peace comes, and your companions will trouble you to tell them so. ”

The red pupil held the palm of Javier's outstretched hand, and a pair of red eyes did not shy away from looking at the latter, and Zhengse said: "Revenge is a meaningless thing, what I look forward to is just a world where everyone can live happily...... For this, I am willing to give everything. ”

The person who shoots must have the consciousness of being shot at any time, and the person who kills must also be prepared to be killed at any time, as a killer with endless criminal karma, dying on this bloody road is only the retribution he deserves.

What kind of revenge is not only meaningless, but also unqualified, Chitong will not forget how many innocent lives these hands have slaughtered, so sinful she, just walking on this difficult road, has already done her best, and there is nothing else to think about.

"If that's what you think, that's not bad...... Please advise me in the future, my comrade-in-arms. Javier smiled.
