When Zhu Deyong and the imperial anchor Xia Ying arrived, the bigwigs on the second floor came downstairs to greet them, but seeing Xia Ying looming in the crowd, Lu Manna still felt that the look just now was just an illusion.

But the impact she was on at the time was so real and relevant that she was sure she was seeing something that others couldn't. Xia Ying's eyes fell on Lin Hai's body, which may have just been an ordinary sweep, but then the next time, she looked at the middle of the two again. It was Lin Hai's hand holding with herself, and Lu Manna was sure that she saw the waves that should not have appeared in her eyes at that moment.

How so?

Just for a moment, Lu Manna also thought at the same time that it was rumored that Xia Ying shirked the marriage contract with the heir of the Chen family because of a man hidden behind him. Of course, there is no direct evidence for such speculation, and almost every person's scandal in the empire will involve this aspect, so most people have their own opinions about it. However, the imperial capital is more inclined to Xia Ying has her own views and her own life, and she doesn't like to be arranged by this kind of politics.

This statement seems to be more appropriate to Xia Ying's character.

People know that she is a self-reliant and proud woman.

It is also regarded by many fashion magazines as a representative of women in the new era. Such a woman, if she chooses to marry a big aristocratic family in order to grab more capital discourse, it seems to be something that makes people feel that their idols are broken. And her blatant withdrawal from the Chen family shows that she is extraordinary. People are more inclined to recognize this aspect. Because Xia Ying has always been so amazing.

So much so that the so-called statement that there is another man behind Xia Ying is completely slander! This is something that even Lu Manna would laugh at.

But now, she suddenly felt some kind of suffocating truth, and many doubts in the past suddenly came through, such as Li Yifeng, why did Lin Hai have such a desire to eat and kill expression? An illegitimate child and a frigate captain, a lieutenant, and an officer, how could they have formed such a big bond when they were almost unrelated before?

In such a shocked thought, Lu Manna looked up at Lin Hai.

Just saw Lin Hai looking at her at the same time, and the two looked at each other......

After a while, Lin Hai said, "Don't get me wrong...... Between me and her, there was nothing. ”

Lu Manna had a mad urge and a silent accusation...... How do you know what I'm going to ask, where can you see that I'm wondering between you and Xia Ying?

That's all there is to it? This is clearly the distinction, the distinct is the distinct, the distinct is the existence!

******

Ignoring Lu Manna's roll of her eyes, Lin Hai felt that this is how things in the world are often created and tricked, this universe is very large, the empire territory spans hundreds of light years, if there is no space channel, a family will spend tens of thousands of generations, and it is impossible to go from the border planet of the empire to the capital star.

However, the world realm is so small, people who originally thought they would not be able to meet can meet like this again.

But what if you do?

He didn't have a magazine with him at all that someone asked him to sign in the infantry squad fortress, because even if he knew that Dao would meet, Lin Hai didn't think that the two of them might intersect. Even if there is an intersection, Lin Hai will not take out a magazine and tell her in front of her, I need a copy of your signature.

It had nothing to do with the dignity of the man or anything else, simply because he didn't want to ask her for anything, and he didn't want to be given by her, even if it was a name written by her own hand.

In a sense, the parting of Qingyuan Academy is just the final meeting point of two people who were originally unrelated, but were mixed together by some strange things.

Now, Xia Ying and that Zhu Deyong are the most high-profile figures in the banquet, and there are constantly high-level people of the Knights and some elites in the capital who come to deal with them, they are chatting about the people's situation about the war, talking about where the materials need to be deployed, chatting about the passage of the front front, chatting about the situation in the empire's Xipang, those who affect the changes in the situation, and the empire's deduction and response.

In comparison, Lin Hai, who didn't care about any of this, was just a quasi-non-commissioned officer of a rapid response team.

How do they intersect?

******

******

Then came the arrival of Anna Sui, and the arrival of this woman caused a lot of excitement in the banquet. This is the swearing-in banquet of the Knights Mission Military Exercise held by Tetsu Egami, and Anna Sui will naturally come to create momentum for this intended interest.

Anna Su naturally contacted Lu Manna, and at the same time, under her recommendation, Lu Manna, who had been holding Lin Hai's elbow, and Zhu Deyong Xia Ying greeted each other head-on for the first time.

"This is Lu Manna, Lu Ming's cousin. In fact, Zhu Dashao must know her, so I don't need to introduce her. And the ...... next to her But the famous Lin Hai ...... His father, Lin Wei, is the newly promoted counselor of the House of Commons. ”

"The little witch of the capital", a long-admired name...... You are Lin Hai, fortunately. Zhu Deyong looked at Lin Hai's eyes, obviously a little more excited, and when he reached out to shake him, he couldn't help but look at it carefully, it was a kind of appreciative gaze, and then turned his head and smiled at the female companion beside him, "I want to see a "speaker killer" with my own eyes...... It's not easy. ”

This incident in Milan Star has already been rumored at the top of the imperial capital, and Zhu Deyong has also heard it, and now he is still a little surprised to see the real person. There are some hints of exaltation in this, which give people a good impression.

Xia Ying's eyelashes moved slightly. Smile back at him. He smiled and said nothing. looked at Lin Hai, but there was a trace of cold indifference in his eyes.

Two people who obviously know each other are so face-to-face, but for various reasons, they pretend not to know each other. Lin Hai felt that this was actually a difficult thing to do. At all times, there are countless tiny thorns piercing the back.

“…… Zhu Dashao, my cousin and I have been looking forward to visiting you for a long time, and we have the opportunity to come to you as guests. When the two sides got acquainted with each other and laughed lightly, Lu Manna, intentionally or unintentionally, reached out and pulled Lin Hai's arm a little tighter, and then the pair of eyes fell on Xia Ying, "As for Miss Xia Ying...... I've been watching your shows a lot, and I've been a loyal viewer for a long time. ”

"Thank you." Xia Ying seemed absent-minded, her eyes fell into the distance, and then whispered something to Zhu Deyong.

Zhu Deyong looked at her and looked at several members of the House of Commons. So he smiled and said to Lin Lu and the others, "Excuse me, there are a few gentlemen who are going to deal with it, you know the way...... People are always involuntarily in the rivers and lakes...... If you have the chance, you must witness Lin Hai's mecha control technique that even the speaker can kill! ”

In fact, he was still a little happy in his heart, even when he met Lin Hai, he felt that this man who was rumored to be the "Speaker Killer" by good people was really a little outstanding, and seeing that Lu Manna, who was known as the "witch", was really a little bird, so that he, who had never been jealous of his peers, was handsome and superhuman in his family background, and for the first time felt a trace of envy.

Xia Ying is her female companion, at least if she shows any appreciation or inquisitive curiosity about this Lin Hai. He must be uncomfortable in his heart. But seeing that Xia Ying didn't care about him at all, she was full of cold distance like her to others. Zhu Deyong's mood suddenly became very good, and even the laughter that went over there was much clearer.

Lu Manna, who was a little stunned in place, was left behind.

She turned her head to look at Lin Hai in surprise and said, "You are completely a passerby in her eyes...... It turns out that there is really nothing between you! ”

And Lin Hai stood in place, watching Xia Ying's slender shadow and Zhu Deyong leave side by side, whispering from time to time, and smiling gently, he had the urge to turn around and leave immediately.

He found it difficult to really calm things down from the inside.

Although he was already clear about the difference between Qingyuan Academy and Xinnanxing, it was already considered that the two of them were driving and talking about Qing Daoming, and it might be a formal breakup between men and women. He thought that when they met again, they would calmly deal with their relationship.

But when the real girl stood in front of him, the two facing each other, he could almost see the familiar contours and arcs of that face up close, the length of her eyelashes, the lines of her eyebrows, the fine pores of her skin...... Lin Hai still can't really deal with it calmly with a proper mentality.

However, he found that in this regard...... The girl seems to be doing better than him.

"Where are you going?" Lu Manna asked.

"I'm in a bad mood, I'm a little tired, I'll go first."

Lin Hai's five fingers curled up and rubbed his dry palm, and walked towards the exit gate.

"I'm in a bad mood...... Lu Manna pondered these words, and then her pretty face sneered, "...... Do you want to be so domineering? ”

And at this time, in the interval of chatting with the members of the House of Commons, Xia Ying's head was lightly sideways, and the corners of her eyes were so casual and quiet...... It landed on his back as he walked towards the exit.

The luster in his eyes seemed to fade away with him.

******

Adjacent to the door, Lin Hai also saw the leader of the entire knight order, Tetsu Egami.

It was a man with gray temples, but his actual appearance was only in his thirties, and his eyes were definitely not ugly, but there was a kind of tranquility and depth. It's like a cold pool. Rao is a person like Lin Hai who has gone through the newborn junk star hell and experienced life and death fighting, at this moment, he still feels a chill on his back for these eyes.

So Lin Haizhi said that he was Jiang Shang Zhe.

Egami Tetsu walked in from the main entrance, and there were two sergeants on both sides of the front, one of them saw Lin Hai walking in front of him, and he was about to block him out of the way, "Get out of the way!" ”

This hand was about to put on Lin Hai's arm and take him aside, but he was stopped by Jiang Shangzhe.

Under the gaze of everyone, Jiang Shangzhe came to Lin Hai, his height was similar to Lin Hai, but so close, Lin Hai could feel his terrifying aura even more, the whole person was like a black hole that sucked up everything, and even light could not escape his gravitational field. Is this the famous general of the empire who led the Knights, who once pacified the Northern Barbarians and imprisoned Carver, the lord of the Northern Barbarians, on a frozen planet?

Is this the great invisible shackles and rules that have been brought to the Knights, like the giants whose shadows exist in the sky above the Knights?

But he just looked down at Lin Hai's armband, then raised his hand, patted Lin Hai lightly on the shoulder, and said with a gentle smile, "The banquet has just begun, and the brigadier is ...... Why rush to go. ”

******

In the eyes of everyone, Jiang Shang Zhe is one of the most prestigious lieutenant generals in the empire, and he can be so kind to a quasi-non-commissioned officer who blocked his way to the banquet, what a thing that makes others feel broken?

And just when everyone expressed their admiration for the arrival of Tetsu Egami. Watching Ekami Zhe, who had staggered past him, enter the banquet hall, Lin Hai continued to move forward, preparing to leave the place that had just become lively.

That's when it ...... Two sergeants stopped in front of him.

It was not the two who opened the way before, but the people who followed behind Tetsu Egami. After Jiang Shang Zhe entered, these sergeants naturally left two people and stood at the door.

It was these two people who blocked Lin Hai.

And then there were their voices," said the head of the regiment, saying that the feast had just begun...... You can't go...... Didn't hear? ”

"I thought that what the regiment commander said was why bother...... But the choice is mine. Lin Hai raised his head and looked at the two of them.

The two sergeants' expressions were slightly narrow, "This is indeed a rhetorical question. But the regimental commander's original intention was not to want you to leave, so you can't go......" paused, the sergeant's brows were already raised, "Who is your superior?" ”

The subconscious of these words is, who did not teach you the rules of this Knights of the Knights of the Quasi-Noncommissioned Officer? The meaning of the head of the regiment is the rules, and his will cannot be disobeyed.

"Don't look at it as a feast, but it's still a knightly order. On the battlefield, you can't have a personal mind, the army can only have a mind. There can only be one person to think about, and that is your supreme commander. ”

"I think you're talking too seriously, I'm just out of the air to catch my breath." Lin Hai looked up and smiled.

"Breathable...... Not at all! ”

The two sergeants, intentionally or unintentionally, showed the coat of arms on the chest of their uniforms, indicating that they were members of the Military Police Inspectorate of the Order. It's simple to deal with him, a brigadier officer who doesn't listen to his calls.

Gu Xiaobei didn't know when he was already standing behind Lin Hai, and said, "You are here...... Ha, hurry up, I've been looking for you for a long time. ”

But Lin Hai didn't move.

Gu Xiaobei's face gradually became embarrassed.

The two sergeants had already sensed a hint of danger from Lin Hai's expression. Then their faces became heavier, because they found that such a small quasi-non-commissioned officer, who could have been suppressed, actually made them a little overwhelmed for the first time?

Lin Hai smiled, his gaze suddenly froze, and lightning shot into the waists of the two sergeants.

Those were two pistols that were worn with them.

Before entering this swearing-in banquet, there will be a strict weapon scanning and monitoring system, no one is allowed to bring weapons to the meeting, and even the security guards in the entire venue do not have lethal weapons, only self-defense weapons such as electric shock batons. And the only ones who can enter the arena with weapons are these elite sergeants who follow the Knights Commander Jiang Shangzhe, and the guards of the Supervision Office.

The look in the eyes is the thing that most exposes a person's mind. Especially these elites who have always followed Egami Zhe's side, similar to personal guards. They are rigorously trained, and they can be said to be the most powerful security forces in the entire empire.

If there is a strong force, they can break through these security forces and kill Tetsu Egami. Then this power can kill anyone in the Empire, including the Queen and the head of the Thirteen Round Tables. Because their security forces are generally not stronger and more elite than the people around Jiang Shangzhe.

The people under Jiang Shangzhe's men were so keen and well-trained, and the two of them just watched Lin Hai's gaze sweep towards their waists, and they immediately felt an extremely rare coercion, no less than the momentum of a fierce beast rushing towards them in an instant.

This is a gas machine that poses a great threat. Only those who have undergone rigorous training and the grinding of life and death on the brutal battlefield can keenly perceive it.

Lin Hai's gaze was precise and swift, and this extreme sense of danger made the two sergeants burst out at the first time, "What are you going to do!?" ”

The hand had already pressed towards the hilt of their guns, because according to the danger of the qi they were pulling, at this time, with the strength of the other party, they had already snatched their guns at a strong enough speed. They pressed the handle of their guns in their hands, bent their bodies and feet on the ground, and squatted and retreated! This is the standard spear guard action of the Knights, and the tactical moves of the two are perfect enough to be written in a textbook!

This kind of action reaction can not only effectively stop the enemy from breaking out and snatching guns, but also maximize the distance from the ensuing danger.

But the price was that the two of them retreated three meters, squatted on the ground in unison, grabbed their waists with both hands, and the next action was to draw their guns.

But they didn't draw their guns.

Because the eyes of the two of them suddenly widened, Lin Hai was standing in place, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at the two people who made this series of actions for a long time...... Didn't move a bit!

He didn't move at all, he didn't grab the gun at all.

Everything is just an illusion caused by the eyes.

Then the two of them looked over Lin Hai little by little and looked behind him.

It was the banquet hall with countless pairs of jaw-dropping eyes that were as bright as lights, staring at the two of them with puzzled or surprised or surprised or stunned expressions.

It's like watching two people suddenly juggle on such an occasion.

And above the banquet hall, the loud cheers of the two just now still echoed to themselves.

"What are you going to do...... Do...... What the...... ......"

And there are quite a few people whose eyes have narrowed.

They knew what kind of characters Jiang Shangzhe's subordinates were, and what kind of team he brought out...... And the elite guards under the famous general Jiang Shangzhe were scared back a few steps by this young man's eyes, so in a hurry...... What does this mean?

Although this was actually a normal reaction of the guards, and from a professional point of view, they did a very good job, but in the eyes of the surrounding onlookers, it was tantamount to Lin Hai not even making a move, so the two guards were bluffed and retreated.

The "Four Heroes" of the Knights, who had met him before, suddenly looked at him differently. The "Seven Evils", who were all sergeants of the Knights, looked more and more solemn, obviously treating him as a character. And the men and women named "Acura Double Dance" have even more suspicious expressions.

"Huh!" Lu Manna couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands, and looked at Lin Hai who caused all this in surprise.

Xia Ying's eyes in the distance were extremely complicated, and she first thought that it was because of her appearance just now that Lin Hai was so tough to leave? But if it weren't for the intersection of the so-called "witch" Lu Manna and him, she would not have been so cold-hearted. Even so, for the first time, she felt a sense of remorse. Did you go too far?

Seeing the expressions of the people around them, the two guards glared angrily at Lin Hai as if they were in shame, "Just a quasi-non-commissioned officer...... How dare you! Because for them, Lin Hai's move not only made them lose face, but also saved Jiang Shangzhe's face.

But I heard a familiar voice, and suddenly came, "Enough...... Let him go. ”

The two immediately stood up straight respectfully, "Yes!" ”

Evolving to this point, no matter what, he can't turn a blind eye, Jiang Shangzhe turned around, looked at the two subordinate guards behind him, and sighed, "Did I say not to let him leave, you guys are really fooling around...... Then he looked at Lin Hai and said with a smile, "Young brigadier officer, you are very good...... What happened just now, don't care. You are free to come and go. ”

Jiang Shang Zhe personally spoke, and the atmosphere that was originally tense suddenly dissipated invisibly.

Lin Hai said again, "How dare you ......" He can not give face to these two tough sergeants, but how can he not give face to Jiang Shangzhe...... What's more, Lin Hai actually doesn't have a bad opinion of him.

Lu Manna, Xia Ying and the surrounding people were also completely relieved at this moment.

Gu Xiaobei hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Lin Hai's neck, and smiled at Jiang Shangzhe, "Ha Luha...... This kid just loves to joke...... Don't be angry, Captain! ”

Jiang Shang Zhe smiled at Gu Xiaobei, then he was noncommittal about this matter, and turned his head to talk to others.

So much so that the matter that made his subordinate guards lose face so much was also insignificant.

The atmosphere suddenly relaxed greatly, and the two guards didn't dare to make a mistake again, just looking at Lin Hai's gaze, which contained a storm.

Gu Xiaobei said to Lin Hai in his ear again, "It's so dangerous!" Where are you going? …… After a swearing-in banquet, it is necessary to show the rules and secrets of this military exercise, look carefully, it is beneficial and harmless! If you want to make a difference in the Knights, the military drill is the first hurdle you can't get around! ”

*****

Lin Hai had no choice but to stay, but he already felt very clearly that the eyes looking around him had changed somewhat. Someone inquired about him in private, and after learning about his nickname and past, he finally said, "I see!" Expression.

And in the crowd of people who are feasting, there is also a cold glow with unkind intentions, which always looms from the corner.

Lin Haizhi said that he had a lot of enemies, the power of the Lily Family, the Snow Wolf Family, and some high-level forces of the empire who had an affair with Garnathan, as well as the recent Congressman Zhang Juxiong, and the influence of Luo Minglong and others above him in the Knights, and even the personnel around the dissatisfied Jiang Shang Zhe that might be disgruntled because of today's events...... The so-called swimming in the mud doesn't care about the mud on his body, so Lin Hai can also be calm.

The banquet also entered the peak with the arrival of Tetsu Egami.

It is not only the Knights' Pledge Banquet, but also the theme of the upcoming mission military exercise.

Tetsu Egami announced the combat location, which was the ground territory of the Knights, from the 36th Infantry Fort in the east to the 12th Palace Mecha Hangar in the west, on the surface of 300,000 square kilometers.

The location of the operation was announced, and the two sides of the battle were the two battalions of the Morning Forward Battalion and the Spartan Battalion, which served as the Red Army, and the Dawn Battalion, which served as the Blue Army.

Just looking at this result, there was an uproar in the audience.

It turned out to be two battalions against the Dawn Battalion.

In previous mission exercises, most of them were three battalions fighting against each other and taking turns to draw lots, and one battalion of two battalions alone would receive some additional equipment support. to counter the gap between the two sides. In the last two games, the Dawn Battalion carried two battalions by itself, won, and even the outside world faintly placed the Dawn Battalion in a very high position. Now that the Dawn Battalion has been placed in the position of fighting against the two battalions alone, does this mean that Ekami believes that the combat power of the Dawn Battalion has grown to the point where it is enough to fight against the other two battalions?

This made the faces of "King Li" Sauron and "Mad King" Homer suddenly extremely difficult to look at.

"King Hunter" Chen Dufu couldn't hide the excitement in his bones.

"It needs to be explained that the equipment for this exercise will be at the same level. There will be no additional ancillary treatment at Camp Dawn. Egami Tetsu spoke, and then said, "However, I will be the auxiliary tactical command of the Dawn Battalion, and use the inferior forces against the superior forces of the other two battalions." ”

Then Ekami Tetsu looked at the commanders of the three battalions under him, "...... After all these years, you should have made some progress. ”

The audience showed a sudden realization and excitement.

Especially Sauron and Homer...... In their early years, they were under Egami Zhe, as the three kings, and they followed him to fight in the starry sky, learned a lot of things, and understood how powerful the famous general in front of them was.

Even if they are Jiang Shangzhe's subordinate officers, at this time, it is still inevitable that they have a strong desire to fight with this boss.

It was purely a desire to challenge the strong, and the will to fight. You must know how many generals there are under the starry sky of Lu Dao, and they all regard it as a monument and goal to be able to fight against Jiang Shangzhe in their lifetime, or to reach his height.

They are close to the water and the tower is the first to get the moon.

If they had equal strength, they would certainly never have such unrealistic ideas. However, the two battalions of the Morning Forward Battalion and the Spartan Battalion were combined, and their strength was even better than that of the Dawn Battalion.

With such an advantage, if they no longer have the strength and confidence to fight with Jiang Shangzhe, they will really be the "three kings" under him in vain!

The confrontation and rules of the exercise have been established, and the audience has begun to grow excitement and anticipation.

And at this time, in the knights, someone suddenly intervened.

"Now that the new exercise strategy and rules have been determined, in order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of this exercise, the Cardinal's Office has selected 18 squads from three battalions to compete for their position in the exercise......

"Eighteen squads competed, and in the end, nine squads relied on their own efforts to qualify...... It's just that when we were conducting a strict backtracking, we found a contest and some controversy. So it is proposed here, hoping that it will be decided by the head of the regiment. ”

It was none other than the Deputy Chief of the Cardinal Division of the Order who spoke.

The banquet's voice was quiet, and they were all waiting for a detailed explanation.

The deputy director who spoke glanced in the direction of Chen Dufu in the Liming Camp, then raised his head with a smile, pointed his finger, and in the void, a three-dimensional projection of the martial arts report appeared.

"This is a contest between the Rapid Reaction Squad of the Morning Forward Battalion and the Zero One Infantry Squad of the Spartan Battalion...... Although the judgment of the jury was passed at that time, our cardinal's office according to the latest mission exercise document submitted by you, the head of the regiment, the sentence "Do not abandon, do not give up!" "Spiritual instructions...... I think this competition is actually wrong! ”

This change was not just a flash of light. Even Lin Hai could see Gu Xiaobei's body beside him stiffen suddenly, and then an angry aura swelled from his body.

And Lu Manna and the others saw the conspicuous name of the "Captain of the Fast Reaction Squad Lin Hai" on the three-dimensional projection report for the first time. immediately understood that this competition was a contest between Lin Hai and the other party before.

Lin Hai saw the malicious eyes and smiles of some of the big names of those knights.

He knew it...... The reproach against him was launched!
