"You're right, I've also analyzed this situation." Meng Jie nodded, thinking deeply.

"Speaking of which, I quite appreciate this Ding Xiu." Meng Jie thought for a while and said, "Temperament and qualifications are not below our Yu'er. ”

"Really?" Chen Ting raised her eyebrows, Meng Jie compared her grandson, and praised Ding Xiu like this, she was slightly unconvinced: "How can you see it?" ”

"I have tested Ding Xiu's strength, and he is not on par with our Yu'er. But the personalities of the two are a little different, Yu'er is as gentle as jade, but Ding Xiu is resolute and resolute, I think this should be the reason for the living environment. Meng Jie said.

"Gentleness and open-mindedness have become shortcomings in your mouth?" Chen Ting glanced at him, looking quite displeased.

"That's not what I meant." Meng Jie didn't expect that he praised Ding Xiu and made his wife jealous of his grandson, so he hurriedly defended: "In politics and business, Ding Xiu is not as good as Yu'er, but when I go into battle to kill the enemy, I'm afraid that Yu'er's character will suffer." ”

"Are you going to let Yu'er go to the battlefield too?" Chen Ting was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, there is a plan." Meng Jie nodded and said: "If it is a peaceful and prosperous world, I only want him to be a rich kid who keeps to himself, but at the moment, the Elbrand Empire in the east is about to move, and Frantic, Tafleur and other countries are not good, peace only exists in local areas, and most parts of this world are still accompanied by war." ”

"It's better to go to the army to hone and hone." Although Chen Ting was a little reluctant in her heart, she also understood that the flowers in the greenhouse could not shelter the Meng family from the future. "But Yu'er and Zhixi are in Brilliant City now, at least they have to wait until he finishes his studies at Brilliant Academy."

"Of course." Meng Jie smiled, "Yu'er himself has told me many times that he wants to serve in the army like his father. Don't worry, I still have a lot of old friends in the army, and they can take care of one or two. ”

Chen Ting nodded, she knew that as the elite of the country, the Meng family also needed to bear its own obligations while enjoying its rights. As long as the country needs it, the men of the Meng family will be the first to stand up and stand at the forefront.

The two discussed the next arrangements at home, the sky darkened unconsciously, Chen Ting looked out the window, and asked Meng Jie: "You said that you plan to arrange for Ding Xiu to leave Tianque City tomorrow, there is nothing wrong with doing so, his life experience is there, and it is a hot potato on anyone's land." ”

"yes." Meng Jie nodded and sighed: "If it weren't for that, I would definitely leave people behind and train them well, so that the country could add one more talent in the future." ”

"Before sending Ding Xiu away, I want to meet him." Chen Ting thought for a moment and said suddenly.

"I'll go to the courtyard with you later that night." Meng Jie also had this intention, because he still had some things he wanted to tell Ding Xiu.

Tianque City, built by the mountain, is like a pearl embedded in the mountains at night, the city is full of high-rise buildings, the street is full of traffic, and the crowd of people is like a tide.

The neon was dazzling, the lights were in a trance, Ding Xiu and the others came to the railing by the courtyard and looked around, and everything around them was real and illusory.

"It used to be called a wild place, because of the rampant mutant creatures and the bandits, there was basically no environment for civilians to settle." Gu Beimo leaned on the railing and muttered to his companions about the old things in Tianque City.

"Then why was this place built into a city?" Song Xijun was a little curious, she went to Jiaping City with her father when she was young, and in more than ten years, she saw that city spread and grew brick by brick, and even it was not easy for the city to develop to a certain scale, and its existence and development required certain basic conditions.

"Hey, I didn't know about your question before, but then I asked someone here." Gu Beimo smiled and said, "In this mountain range, there is a secret base in the old world, and that underground project is located inside the mountain, so it was lucky to be spared when a nuclear war broke out. ”

"Could it be that this secret base is the foundation of the city?" Ding Xiu asked.

"Exactly." Gu Beimo nodded, "Speaking of which, I really admire the predecessor of the Gun King, it was he who led the troops all the way to open up the wilderness here. The efforts of him and his soldiers finally brought the secret base back to light, and they built the city on its original site, allowing hundreds of thousands of people to live and work in peace. ”

"Wow! What a great old man! Shen You exclaimed, she didn't expect that the old man who gave Gu Beimo the badge would have such a ability.

"Yes, he and his team are rooted here, serving as a barrier to the southwest of the country, laying a solid foundation for our Graylls army to expand westward for thousands of miles." Gu Beimo said about Meng Jie's experience back then, his eyes were full of fascination, "If only I had been under Meng Senior's command back then, if I could follow him to have this experience, even if it was a horse leather shroud, it would be worth it." ”

"I see...... Doesn't that mean that if it weren't for the efforts of the predecessors of the Gun King, there would be no dozens of cities west of Grayls? Song Xijun covered her mouth, surprised in her heart.

"Yes, the development of the country's western region has been greatly contributed by Meng seniors." Gu Beimo nodded and said, "Otherwise, why is he respected as the king of guns by the people." ”

Just when Ding Xiu and the four of them were chatting about Meng Jie, Meng Jie and Chen Ting also came to this courtyard.

"Four, the head of the house is here." The voice of the staff appeared in the courtyard, and Ding Xiu turned around and saw a few more figures in the courtyard.

"Everybody's here." Meng Jie stepped forward with a smile, his approachable attitude made people feel like a spring breeze.

"Senior Meng." The four shouted in unison.

"You don't have to be formal." Seeing that their expressions were quite restrained, Meng Jie waved his hand, signaling everyone to relax.

Ding Xiu and the others admired Meng Jie's previous great achievements because they admired him, so when they saw this old man again, they were a little nervous and apprehensive.

"Are you used to eating here?" Meng Jie asked.

"Delicious!" Shen You touched his stomach, "Grandpa Meng, look, my stomach is overwhelmed." ”

"That's good, that's good." Meng Jie smiled and nodded, and introduced his wife to everyone: "This is my wife, Chen Ting." ”

Chen Ting is over sixty years old, but her temples are only slightly white, and she doesn't look very old.

Ding Xiu and the others greeted her, and Chen Ting also nodded in response.

"I made a bet with Ding Xiu during the day, and I lost, so I have to fulfill my promise." Meng Jie said suddenly, and looked at Ding Xiu with a grin.

"Wow, Ding Xiu, you even bet and won against Senior Meng? Tell me about it, what's the stake? Gu Beimo looked excited, as if he had heard some big news.

"It was my seniors who let me, otherwise how could I have won?" Ding Xiu scratched his head embarrassedly.

"If you win by strength, you don't have to be modest." Meng Jie said: "I now declare that you are not guilty in the Nangang espionage case. ”

"Thank you, senior!" Ding Xiu said gratefully.

"That's that...... What about the murder and arson case in the villa? Shen You looked impatient, she wondered if this matter was also over.

"The murder and arson of the villa? Wasn't it an accidental fire in the villa, and the owner died in the fire? Meng Jie shook his head, revealing a sly smile.

"Whew." Ding Xiu and the four of them all breathed a sigh of relief, knowing about this matter.

"Ding Xiu." Meng Jie uncovered the two cases together, and then continued to ask: "Starting tomorrow, I will no longer confine you in this courtyard, but before that, I want to ask, what are your plans in the future?" ”

"In the future?" Ding Xiu said, "Next, I'm going to Brilliant City. ”

"To the City of Glory?!" As soon as he spoke, Meng Jie and Chen Ting's expressions changed.

"How?" Ding Xiu was stunned.

"Why go to Brilliant City?" The person who spoke this time was Chen Ting.

"I grew up in a border guard camp in the desert, but the camp has now been destroyed by mutant bullet ants...... The camp is like home to me, and when my home is gone, I call it home. Ding Xiu thought for a while and said, "It just so happens that I have a friend in Brilliant City, so I want to go to her, and by the way, I can see more of this world." ”

"Really?" Meng Jie stared for a long time, and his heart was a little unable to calm down.

"Is this the providence of the underworld?" He thought to himself.

"Brilliant City is big, and it can be dangerous." Chen Ting glanced at Ding Xiu, with a hint in her tone.

"I've lived in dangerous places since I was a child, and in that squad I'm in, everyone died, and I was the only one left." Ding Xiu said calmly: "I'm not afraid of danger. ”

His tone was a little sad, I don't know if he remembered the robes who had fought together, as well as Zhang Rongshe, Chen Jiansen, Zhang Zhixiong and others.

"If you have chosen your own path, let's go." Meng Jie patted him on the shoulder, "While you're young, don't leave any regrets." ”

"Thank you for your advice." Ding Xiu nodded respectfully. He was truly grateful to Meng Jie, because this old man had not only instructed him in combat techniques, but also encouraged him just now.

Chen Ting glanced at Meng Jie with surprised eyes, but she didn't ask more, but reminded Ding Xiu again: "I heard that the name of Song Xijun, the girl among you, is on the wanted warrant issued by the Western Military Region?" ”

When Song Xijun heard her mention the wanted warrant, she couldn't help but be shocked, for fear that there would be another branch in her eyes.

"Everything in the city is settled in our Meng family on this day, you can rest assured that you are in the city, but after you get out of the city, you need to be more careful." Chen Ting said.

"Thank you for the reminder, we'll take note." Ding Xiu and Gu Beimo glanced at each other, and their hearts were clear.

"Also, come with me, Ding Xiu." Chen Ting gestured to him.

"Huh?" Ding Xiu followed her to the side.

"Don't let anyone know about your war paints, you know?" Chen Ting took him to a nearby place, and only after making sure that the others could not hear his conversation did he speak.

She looked solemn, and Ding Xiu was even more stunned.

"You...... How do you know about War Paints? That's the name I gave to the tattoo I had with special abilities. Ding Xiu's eyes widened, and the first thought that popped into his head was that Chen Ting had mind reading skills.

"Your name? Haha, you have a good name, and you really hit you right. Chen Ting smiled and said with a straight face: "You just remember my words, the matter of War Paint and its power can only be your help if others don't know about it." If its secrets are revealed, it will kill you. ”
