Xue Qingning has lived for a long time, and most of the waiters and hygienists in the hotel are familiar with each other. Taking advantage of this relationship, when a hygienist who had a good relationship was cleaning her room, Xue Qingning pretended to be curious and asked about the situation on the third floor.

As a hotel waiter, she shouldn't be talking about guests, but Xue Qingning has a good temper and is closer to them than other guests, and she is willing to talk to Xue Qingning more.

She told Xue Qingning that the people in the innermost room on the third floor did not leave the hotel for half a step, and the three meals a day were all sent to the third floor by the hotel waiter and handed over to the bodyguard at the door. Whatever is needed, these bodyguards come in and out.

She also went to the third floor to clean, she was a little chilling when she said, the cleaning was done under the supervision of those bodyguards, uncomfortable, cautiously panicked. Fortunately, they were just supervising and didn't talk to them much at all, so they finally got along.

Xue Qingning asked about the situation in the room again, but in this tense state, they didn't have the heart to observe and pay attention to other things except burying their heads in sweeping the floor. The big man was either sitting at his desk on the sofa or lying on the bed, surrounded by bodyguards, and no one was allowed to approach within ten steps, and he rarely heard a voice except for his appearance, and knew nothing else.

Their precautions were more watertight than Xue Qingning imagined, and they couldn't get any clues from the hygienist, so Xue Qingning wanted to disguise himself as a hygienist and sneak in to find out. No matter how polite the people here are with her, they won't risk helping her, so they have to find another way.

After the hygienist finished cleaning, she was just about to go out, and suddenly turned around and told Xue Qingning a very important news, when she went in to clean yesterday afternoon, she was about to hear the big man on the phone, and he made an appointment with the person on the phone at three o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow to meet in the No. 3 conference hall on the first floor of the hotel to discuss the covenant in detail.

"That is, tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, when they talk about the covenant, there must be someone at the door, and no one is allowed to approach, the best way is to blend in in advance, but it is not clear if there is a hiding place inside."

"Yes." Xue Qingning said: "After I learned the news yesterday, I secretly went to see the No. 3 conference room, there is a rolling shutter screen behind the conference table, and there is a rectangular table behind the screen, and there is a wooden board under the table, and the space inside can hide people. ”

Xue Qingning estimated the figures of the two, "Just enough to hide the two of us." ”

The two made an appointment at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon, and they didn't use it here this time, they went directly to Xue Qingning's room, and then mixed into the conference room together.

In the dead of night, the soft moonlight shot in like a line of water droplets, shining on the side of Chen Zui's pillow, he slept peacefully, exhaling and inhaling, even and slender.

Duan Shaoling looked at Chen Zui, turned around, and looked at the ceiling with his eyes stupid, not sleepy.

He was afraid, what he was afraid of was not being discovered, not the safety of himself and Xue Qingning's lives, but the truth, the truth he wanted to know the most, the truth related to everyone's future.

Who will be the person who will meet the foreigners tomorrow, is it Li Qiyu, or Adjutant Long, or one of several commanders...... No amount of speculation is superfluous, and tomorrow, the truth will come out.

He couldn't help but look at Chen Zui again, and thought about it, he would tell him the truth tomorrow, even if the truth was cruel.

At the beginning of the year, there were basically no major events in the army. Duan Shaoling is now a brigade commander, his words and deeds are free, and no one will doubt his whereabouts.

In the afternoon, close to two o'clock, the weather was hazy, the cold wind was like a knife, the streets were full of people coming and going, laughter and laughter, and the breath was like a thick smoke drifting away, which was extremely incommensurate with the cold weather.

Duan Shaoling entered the hotel, naturally walked to Xue Qingning's door, knocked twice, and the door opened.

Entering the room, Xue Qingning had already drawn a drawing of the first floor of the hotel and spread it on the table. The stairs on the right go straight ahead to the bathroom on the first floor, and turn left to the back of the hotel, where there is a kitchen, a grocery room, etc., and a place for hotel staff to rest. Next to a grocery warehouse is a fish pond, and the walkway directly opposite the fish pond corresponds to the window of Conference Room 3.

They could not enter through the main entrance of the conference room, but had to go around to the fish pond and climb in through the window.

The back of the hotel is also open for guests to visit, in fact, there is nothing to see, and there are few people who will really come to visit. And at this point in time, the hotel staff had just finished changing shifts, except for those on duty in the front, the employees in the back went back to the dormitory to rest, and the two walked to the back, and sure enough, they didn't meet a hotel employee.

Under the window, Duan Shaoling reached out to push the window, but the window was closed and couldn't be opened for a while. Just as he was about to push hard, Xue Qingning stopped him, "Wait, you can't go in now." I heard from the hygienists that before the meeting started, they would go in and clean, check the doors and windows, and then leave half a minute early, and they would almost go in and clean. ”

After a few minutes, there was a heavy sound of pushing the door inside, and following the reputation, it was the hygienist who came in to clean it, and the two of them hurriedly squatted down. After a few minutes, there was a sound of footsteps from the side, Xue Qingning pointed to the nearest utility room, and the two retreated behind the left door of the utility room, perfectly blocking their bodies.

Duan Shaoling stood in the way, and if someone came over and found them, they had no choice but to offend others. Fortunately, the footsteps quickly turned back and hid for a while, never hearing any movement again.

Duan Shaoling asked Xue Qingning to stand where he was, he quietly walked under the window, poked his head inside, and this time he heard the sound of the door closing, and several hygienists had already withdrawn. Duan Shaoling beckoned to Xue Qingning, signaling that she could come over.

Duan Shaoling stretched out his hands, ready to push the window open with force, Xue Qingning gently opened his hand, and said in a low voice; "This window looks very tight, you push too hard, in case there is a disturbance, it will be bad, or I'll come." There was an extra thing in her hand, and it was the hairpin again.

"This hairpin is really wonderful."

Xue Qingning tinkered twice, looking at her appearance, she was skilled, but in two minutes, the switch was turned up by her, and with a gentle push, the window opened directly.

The two jumped in one after another, and there was a sound of footsteps outside the door coming this way.

Duan Shaoling said: "When people come, quickly hide under the table." ”

Xue Qingning's figure flashed, and at the same time he drilled in. Unexpectedly, her feet slipped, her whole head rested on Duan Shaoling's chest, her forehead pressed against her chin, and her hands had nowhere to place. Xue Qingning was extremely embarrassed, and was about to get up, when the door was opened again, and he heard several people walking in.

The space inside is not very spacious, and the two of them are just enough to accommodate it. Xue Qingning would be discovered if he got up and changed his posture at this time, and after weighing it, he could only endure the embarrassment for a while and listen to the movement outside motionlessly.

Duan Shaoling's chest was thick and firm, and he felt very secure when he leaned on it, and the aura emanating from his body had a heroic aura, and his heart was beating fast.

The two were so close to each other, Xue Qingning's breath passed over uninterruptedly, faint and a little nostalgic, Duan Shaoling's heart was agitated, and he couldn't help but blush, and his heart beat faster.

With her heartbeat also speeding up the frequency, Xue Qingning obviously felt that her cheeks were hot, were they very red? Fortunately, Duan Shaoling couldn't see it.

There were four people, two people entering the conference room, and two people closing the door of the conference room.

"Ambassador Andrean, please be seated."

It was the voice of Adjutant Long, who represented Li Qiyu to negotiate with the foreigners

Duan Shaoling's heart sank to the bottom, and he suddenly became clearer, and there was no doubt about the relationship between Li Qiyu and foreigners.

In the next time, they were all negotiating the content of the covenant, except for those scenes, the most important thing, after the Li family declared a full-scale war on the Yin army, they foreign states had to provide weapons and military support, and after the matter was completed, the four coastal cities would draw their concessions, as long as Li Qiyu was still the supreme commander of Central and Southern China, he could not violate this.

This is tantamount to ceding the land to a foreign country in disguise, and after a long time, it will be difficult to guarantee that the four coastal cities will become the land of a foreign country.

After discussion, Andrew handed over the revised covenant to Adjutant Long, who forwarded it to Li Qiyu, and after the two sides reached a consensus, five days later, they formally signed the covenant and became allies.

Duan Shaoling also heard Adjutant Long tell An Delang that after the end of the year, after the wedding of Chen Zui and Li Chengjing, Li Qiyu would officially deploy a comprehensive battle plan against Yin's army.

Two hours later, they heard the sound of two people walking out, confirming that they were far away, Duan Shaoling said softly in her ear: "Everyone is far away, we can go out." Xue Qingning hurriedly broke away from his embrace, half-squatted and went out, and Duan Shaoling followed.

After tidying up his clothes, Duan Shaoling first reached out of the window to check if there was anyone outside, to confirm that the environment was safe, and jumped out, stretching out his hands to pull Xue Qingning out, although he knew that with her skills he didn't need it.

With Xue Qingning's skills, she could turn out without touching the window with both hands, but her hands still held Duan Shaoling's hands, making him pull herself out and jump out.

At this moment, Duan Shaoling's heart welled up with an inexplicable joy.

Carefully closing the window and walking out generously, someone asked, so that they could just say that they were just here to visit the environment behind the hotel.

No one asked all the way back, because at this point in time, the hotel staff began to be busy again.

Back in Xue Qingning's room, Duan Shaoling roughly explained the identity of Adjutant Long, as well as the matter between Chen Zui and Li Chengjing.

This time, Xue Qingning asked him, "What are you going to do now?" ”

Duan Shaoling muttered, "I'm going to tell Chen Zui about this." ”

Xue Qingning still asked, "Then can his marriage with Miss Li be held smoothly?" ”

Duan Shaoling said: "Is their marriage still more important than the safety of the country?" I know that Chen Zui got married so inexplicably, and when he finds out, he will definitely regret it. Tell him the truth, and he knows what choice to make. ”

He was in a hurry to go back now, and before leaving, he told Xue Qingning that they would continue to meet in the teahouse two days later, and repeatedly told her not to do stupid things to assassinate the foreign ambassador.

Xue Qingning had this measure, she couldn't kill him under the protection of those bodyguards, she felt that Duan Shaoling was concerned about her safety, and nodded to him inconveniently.

After Duan Shaoling left, Xue Qingning was alone in the room, and his mind was full of the picture of the two of them snuggling together motionless under the table just now.
