It's just that Tro is leading a half-day trip, but Jiao Ming has deeply realized the sharpness of his internal contradictions and the cruelty of the struggle, and completely extinguished the idea of persuading Evan to give up betting. Sitting in such a situation comparable to a powder keg, Evan is also tormented enough. In addition to the current solution, which is to boost personal prestige and cooperate with the establishment of external enemies to 'cut through the mess', Jiao Ming has no idea of a more moderate suggestion.

Although there are no absolutes in the world, Jiao Ming finally thought helplessly: This matter can probably only be done if all the founding emperors in the history of the Zhong Kingdom are resurrected and have a meeting to discuss it.

On the other hand. To put it mildly, the repair of the portal can make a small profit, after all, this kind of man-made bombing is no longer within the scope of free maintenance, but if possible, Jiao Ming really doesn't want such a tragedy to happen. However, considering the tense relationship between the Red Mountain Kingdom and the Tro Territory at this time, it is better to use the material resources and manpower of the Crocodile Territory to do things quietly, so as not to be labeled as an enemy. You must know that now Qingshui City is hilarious about the 'traitors' raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and the definition is also quite 'arbitrary'.

At dinner time, Jiao Ming, who was thinking about it while releasing healing magic to the wounded, finally couldn't bear it anymore and planned to leave, and his kindness was relieved to this extent. The squire, Wicklor, seemed to have guessed his thoughts from a small gesture and invited Evan to dinner.

Jiao Ming smiled and politely refused in an 'empathetic' way: "Maybe he explained to you when he was separated, but this afternoon's emergencies are enough for him to be anxious, and those kind words can't be counted." ”

"This ......," Squire Viklor hesitated slightly, "you are the one who participated in last year's military parade with your lordship, and no matter how busy you are, your lord will definitely find time to spend with you." ”

"Then thank Evan for your kindness. Jiao Ming clearly refused, and then thanked the attendant Viklor for accompanying him, and then greeted the wounded and medical staff around him, and used qi magic to teleport back to the territory in everyone's thanks. On the other side is the long-awaited servant of Yi Si outside the vine magic circle, no need to ask, it is obviously Yi Si who has been invited.

Under the guidance of his servants, in Yisi's office that had been vacant for a few days, Jiao Ming saw Yisi with a worried face, and the first thing the other party said was to ask: "Tro Ling, there is an iron ship launched today?"

"It's an ironclad ship, you don't need to ask for more details, I don't know. But from a distance, three cannons are certain. Jiao Ming said and threw the crumpled "Onion Special Supplement" over.

The terrible appearance and the faint smell of sweat certainly aroused Yisi's disgust, and he carefully stretched it out with his orchid fingers. But after only a few glances, he didn't care much, so he flattened his hands, read carefully, and said what he knew a second time.

The news that the intelligence agent who infiltrated the Tro Territory of the Red Mountain Kingdom sent the ironclad ship into the water last night was not heard from after sending back a few words this morning. According to experience, optimistic thinking is just choosing to hide when the wind is tight, and pessimism is death. Therefore, it is speculated that the ironclad ship is a new weapon that is powerful enough to determine the outcome of the war, and the Tro Leader will soon drive it to the coast of the Red Mountain Kingdom and declare war.

Jiao Ming shrugged his shoulders and explained clearly what the ironclad was, but considering the existence of magic, it could not be asserted that this original ironclad was as bad as its earthly counterpart.

"I see. Yi Si nodded suddenly, and then asked, "But judging by your expression, there are other things going on in Trolley?"

"So obvious?"

"Hmm. ”

With a wry smile, Jiao Ming briefly recounted the three bombing cases that succeeded or failed, of course, hiding the embarrassing details of the silencer's personality coming out to decide things. “...... It's probably the same, no, or even worse situation than Shimizu City. I thought I could persuade Evan to slow down the pace, but now that this kind of thing has happened, it is even more impossible. ”

Yi Si also thought about this matter, and in the past discussions with Jiao Ming, he also understood the ridiculous stalemate between the two sides, and asked after a moment of silence: "War...... Inevitable?"

Jiao Ming nodded slowly, as if he could feel the trembling of his neck muscles, "By the way, if there is a national war, what kind of obligations should I, the viscount, fulfill?"

"You can talk about this slowly. Yi Si waved his hand and asked in a more serious tone, "With your understanding of the forces of both sides, who do you think can win?"

"Three-seven open. ”

"Don't tell me that Tro is seventy percent there. ”

Jiao Ming shrugged, which was a tacit acquiescence. Yisi's expression changed back and forth a few times, but he finally accepted this prediction that was quite shocking.

"Let's talk about my obligations. ”

"Regardless of other circumstances, just a Viscount of the Six Rings without other family members. At the very least, you don't have to go to war, you can just give some money, food and materials, after all, this can be regarded as a single seedling. Of course, if you want to go to the front, no one will stop you. However, your situation is unique, and given your unclear relationship with the Tro Leader, or having more money and food, or going into battle to kill the enemy, you can reduce many suspicious glances and thus less trouble. ”

"What about you?

"I must go to the front line in person, and as for the crocodile leader, according to the covenant, it can be compared to the great dukes in other kingdoms with forty percent of the combat effectiveness. ”

This condition sounded good, but Jiao Ming suddenly realized the possibility of becoming cannon fodder, "Who is in command?"

"Of course it won't be in the crocodile collar, otherwise what is it? Invite a bunch of spectators. ”

"Although your position is correct, who can guarantee that the Crocodile Territory's water-based magic warriors will not become cannon fodder to attract firepower?"

"This ...... All you have to pray for. ”

Changing the angle of thinking, Yisi's expression changed slightly, and Jiao Ming also guessed that it was boring. War is a matter of inevitable death, and instead of dying their own children, there is such a 'foreign group' who has newly joined the kingdom, and it is completely inevitable that the big men will secretly reach a tacit agreement to let them die.

Jiao Ming recalled the expression on Lady Zi Yu when she talked about the war last time, obviously understanding this earlier than himself, and asked with a long sigh and hope of what happened, "Is there a way?"

Iss didn't answer, and the conversation ended with no end in sight.

The next day, there was really very exciting news that Troling turned out to be the 'helper' and accomplice of the explosion to the head of the spy organization of the Red Mountain Kingdom. All the theater watchers in the Kingdom were in an uproar, and then changed to a more comfortable position with increased interest and waited for the follow-up performance. And Jiao Ming believes that if it weren't for the planners who scattered leaflets to expose themselves to their homes in order to create a momentum, they were afraid that what would be detained would be the black pot of the 'mastermind'.

At the same time, the intelligence officer of the Red Mountain Kingdom who was involved in the pursuit of the murderer in the bombing case sent back a small amount of public information and a request for a change of guard after he escaped, after all, he had already shown his face and died. As for the task of bringing this unlucky guy back, it fell on Jiao Ming's head unsurprisingly.

If it was before the time, Jiao Ming would have been extremely excited about this task of responding to the spies behind enemy lines, after all, this was completely the plot of an authentic movie blockbuster. But now, on the premise of knowing the injustice and absurdity of this war, I only feel that it is a tasteless waste of time.

But work is just work, there is no need to bring useless personal emotions, Jiao Ming is too lazy to bargain, in line with the principle of ending early and relaxing early, he directly teleported to Tro Ling, and then teleported to the agreed place through the space marker attached to the mission: the toilet of the underground hotel, and found a middle-aged man huddled in a ball in the compartment where the sanitary utensils were placed.

"Dude, will you change to a clean place next time?"

"You're Jiao...... Viscount Jiao Ming?"

Jiao Ming rolled his eyes, this kind of performance that is less professional than the fake agent in the movie really makes people don't know what to evaluate. "Don't talk nonsense, take the token, I suspect you're a fake. ”

Although it is possible to have a token and a fake, it is still indispensable. It took three seconds for the two sides to confirm their identities, and Jiao Ming told him to lower the communication with the magic medium, grabbing the back of the car's neck and starting to teleport, only to find that there was already a faint spatial interference around him.

Subconsciously ignoring the possibility that the spatial fluctuations from the teleportation had attracted the attention of the enemy, the first guess that came to Jiao Ming's mind was 'this thing is a decoy', but I don't know if there is a barb in this bait.

"It's over, we're trapped. ”

"Huh!?"

"Hey, remember you're a qi magician, check it out for yourself. ”

The agent sensed the situation in the surrounding space according to his words, his face turned pale instantly, and his body trembled.

This cowardly spy seems to be fine, but if he communicates with the enemy, there is no need to continue to disguise. Secretly said Fortunately, Jiao Ming, who was blessed by the silver ring, was not worried about not being able to escape at all, and more carefully sensed the interference of the surrounding space, and at the same time comforted softly: "Calm down, there is still a chance, the range of fluctuations of this anomaly is not small, and it obviously belongs to the nature of a wide net." In other words, our position has not been revealed. ”

"Yes...... Yes, my lord. ”

"It's a job behind enemy lines, is it really okay for you to be so cowardly?"

"Adults are taught. ”

"Forget it, when I didn't say it. Jiao Ming had already distinguished that this spy must not be from an aristocratic background, and this kind of civilian's respectful attitude towards nobles was simply engraved into the bone marrow. At this time, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the toilet door, and if it was not a group toilet use, it was the search team approaching. Jiao Ming patted the shoulder of the cowardly spy for a little comfort, "Now that the magic is reined in, we are leaving." ”

Hearing footsteps outside, the cowardly agent accidentally kicked over the trash can, and the crisp sound of the thin iron plate hitting the ground was clearly heard.

"There's someone inside!" came the voices outside the door, and of course more hurried footsteps. But by the time the group rushed into the toilet, there was no one there.

"Don't tremble, you've escaped. In the vine circle, Jiao Ming carried the cowardly agent like a chicken, "Such an adult, don't tell me you want to pee." I can help you keep the secret, but you have to lick up what falls on the vines. ”

"Yes, my lord, my lord taught me. ”

Jiao Ming rolled his eyes, relied on the vine circle to teleport again, and asked when he threw the person to Yisi, "You can't choose some elites when you send intelligence officers?"

"Elite people who will take on this kind of work of nine deaths. Yi Si choked back, and after checking that he didn't know what means, he asked his servants to take people away, and continued: "The latest news, the kingdom has decided to imitate the ironclad ship. ”

"This must be hurried, and in a few days the ironclad ships of the Tro Territory should be 'escorted' to the sea outside the kingdom. Jiao Ming commented nonchalantly, "But I'm a little interested in the mechanism of the kingdom's selection of spies, how much effect can such a cowardly guy have if he sends it out?"

"Do you have any good advice?"

"Listen to the original method, and maybe you can think of an improved way. "This has nothing to do with hiding secrets, and Jiao Ming really doesn't know anything about spies other than the plot of the film and television drama.

"It's just a tactic to force civilians and slaves into submission, and you won't like to hear it. ”
