Jingle bell~

As the jingle bell rings, Mr. Stephens informs everyone that it's time for dinner.

Brunhilde lowered his head and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hands, and quickly walked out of the small room in the direction of the restaurant, but accidentally bumped into a guest with a "bang".

"I'm sorry." She politely apologized and looked up. found that it was Nakajiu who was looking at her with a grin.

"When did my little sister be polite to my brother."

"Ah, brother!" She was surprised in her heart how Zhong Jiu could appear here: "I didn't expect it to be you." ”

"It's so boring here," Zhongjiu shook his head, "Whether it's a place or a person, you know that your brother and I don't like this kind of occasion the most...... Oh, why are you sweating? ”

"My dress is a little tight and breathless." Brünnhilde hastily explained, trying to take the handkerchief from the small handbag in her hand, only to find that the handkerchief had been discarded by her before: "I'm still more used to military uniforms......"

"If you dress like a soldier boy every day, don't think about getting married in the future."

"I've never been interested in marrying myself to a stinky man."

"Oh oh! ~" Nakahisa looked into Brunhilde's eyes and shook his head.

"Okay, you know I'm not talking about you, and the other woman's affairs shouldn't be your brother's concern." As she spoke, she grabbed Nakahisa's uninjured left arm and walked with him to the restaurant.

"Hahaha, I haven't seen you for a few days, and my little sister also calls herself a "woman"! Zhong Jiu teased, glancing at the small room that Brunhilde had just walked out of before leaving.

When passing through the corridor to the banquet hall, you can also see the lights of the protesters at the foot of the Governor's Hill through the floor-to-ceiling windows carved with Yaning's carvings.

Brunhilde looked at the sheer number of lights and muttered, "Apparently there are still people who don't buy the news we have released in the Old City. Her green eyes turned back to look at her brother: "Father must hope that you, as the person concerned, will come forward to clarify with the people." ”

Zhongjiu's nose snorted: "Then he will daydream by himself." ”

"I said, brother, why do you always want to embarrass your father."

If you know what he's done to me, how can you not want to embarrass him? Zhongjiu thought to himself.

The aperitifs were served by Mr. Stephens and the valets, who carried chilled red wine and shuttled between the guests seated on either side of the extra-long table in pre-arranged positions to ensure that their glasses were not empty. Since Brünnhilde and Nakahisa did not have enough military rank (Brünnhilde was a captain), and the other had no military rank at all, and belonged to civilian officials (ambassadors), they were arranged in the middle of the table, sitting opposite each other, and the position of the first guest next to the host's seat was vacant due to Victor's absence.

The lively discussion among the guests fell silent in the presence of the Governor.

"If I didn't know exactly what I was going to do, I thought I was at my own funeral!"

William. Jones ended the killing with an innocuous joke, and the table was again filled with the laughter of the officers, the thumping of fists on the table in gratitude for the host's hospitality.

William. Jones raised his glass, and all the officers immediately picked up their glasses and stood up, although it was difficult to hide his bored appearance, Zhongjiu did not dare to show his character in front of his father.

William. Jones glanced at Zhongjiu and nodded at Brünnhilde, who smiled at his father.

"Thank you for joining us today." William. Jones was always fond of using the Yanin language to express himself as a competent Mada Busoa ruler of the land of Yanin:

"We are here because all of you, or the Lingtang here, have lived through that terrible war many years ago. We

Having experienced fear together, crossed rivers of blood together, and experienced the pain and suffering of war, we know that death is not glorious, and no one can truly win in war. That is why we need to preserve the fragile peace in this land, to avoid a resurgence of misfortune, and to be willing to make small sacrifices for the sake of peace between the two countries. This realization keeps us bound forever, no bullet can tear us apart, not even a Valkyrie can shatter our bond. ”

He raised his glass: "To everyone!!" ”

"Whew! Yes! All the officers raised their glasses, including Brunhilde, and their shouts echoed throughout the Grand Ballroom. And among them, only Zhongjiu just moved his mouth silently.

At the same time, the valets lifted hundreds of silver lids carved with neoclassical relief patterns, and the scene was spectacular. The pure Meda Busoya dinner was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, but Zhong Jiu ate it tastelessly and hazkily, while Brunhilde and Meda Busoya officers on the opposite side talked and laughed and showed their demeanor. Mr. Stephens has been standing on the side of Governor William. Behind Jones, he watched closely the movements of each guest at the table to ensure that everyone was able to finish their dinner without faux please.

Diagonally opposite Zhongjiu, several officers not far from Brunhilde expressed their opinions from time to time, among them the elder one, with a gray but bushy beard, and on the contrary a bird's nest with a bowed head, especially indignant, and spoke louder and louder, so that it clearly drowned out the voices of the others:

"I think tough military means are absolutely necessary! The beliefs of the Yaning people, their understanding of life is completely different from ours! Those stubborn Yaning people actually believe that sooner or later they can drive us out of here! We've been letting the Yanings go for too long, so ......"

"It's revival that will oppose us, not all Yanings." Suddenly a voice appeared and interrupted the old officer, and not only him, but also the entire table of guests fell silent.

“Excuse_me?” The old officer looked in the direction of the voice, it was Zhong Jiu. Zhong Jiu was sitting in his seat at this time, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, and his legs were shaking casually.

"I say, it's revival that will be against us, not all Yaning people. Major Norton (Major_Norton). Zhong Jiu took a sip of wine and replied.

The old officer known as Norton was known for his notoriously straightforward temper, so he was nicknamed "Submachine Gun Norton", and he turned to Zhongjiu not to be outdone, and then opened his rude voice: "Who else should I be, isn't this our big hero?" The ambassador of the activities of the old city, although it is an ambassador who has fled from the desert! ”

A low laugh rang out from the table. William. Jones remained silent, his sharp eyes silently watching everything happen.

Brunhilde kicked Nakaku under the table to signal his composure.

"Is there a difference between the Revival Society and the Yaning people?" Major Norton continued his racially minded remarks: "It's all the same. Since they have the guts to resist us, why don't we strike first next time? ”

"Silly Bi." The words blurted out by Nakahisa caused a commotion in the elegant banquet hall.

Brunhilde raised his hand to cover his face and stood as William. Mr. Stephens, who was behind Jones, looked at his master, and William continued to watch coldly, so Stephens was still standing in place, but observing the whole situation, ready to deal with emergencies.

"What did you say?!"

"You heard me."

"I want you to pay attention to your words!" Former "Mr. Ambassador! We're at war, and you've got to choose your side! ”

"Your so-called position is to suggest a genocide, and then those who disagree with you are considered treason, don't you mean that?" Zhong Jiu picked up the wine bottle on the table and filled his wine glass with red wine: "Silly Bi." ”

Major Norton was furious, and he got up and rolled up his sleeves, obviously intending to move, but Zhong Jiu still sat there and looked at Major Norton defiantly, which made him even more angry. Major Norton, despite the dissuasion of the officer next to him, strode around the table to get closer to Zhongjiu, when one of them stumbled and fell on his stomach, and when he fell, he grabbed the tablecloth in a panic, pulled the whole tablecloth down, and the tableware fell to the ground. Only Brunhilde gracefully picked up his glass of red wine in time and did not spill a drop.

"Who?! Who tripped me?! He shouted as he got up and looked left and right, and the officers around him were inexplicable.

Brunhilde casually withdrew his red heeled foot under the table and took a sip of the wine in his hand.

Seeing that the situation was completely out of control, Mr. Stephens was about to intervene. Jones spoke:

"Enough!"

As soon as he heard the voice of the Governor, Major Norton did not dare to be reckless, and stood up and stood in place, panting.

William. Jones stood up, looking at Nakahisa with stern deep eyes.

Seeing his father's eyes, even Zhongjiu swallowed his saliva, put down Erlang's legs, and sat down in a proper manner.

"What shall I do with you?" William. Jones looked at Zhong Jiu: "Although you are my son, you are only a civilian, and if you dare to offend our hard-working officers, according to the law, you should be dismissed and investigated!" ”

Zhongjiu lowered his head, gritted his teeth unseen, and put his left hand, which could move freely, on his thigh and clenched.

Major Norton snickered when he saw that the scoundrel who wanted to provoke himself was about to be punished in full view of everyone.

"However, now that the old city has just ended the riots, and you, as the messenger of peace that keeps Yanin and Meda Busoya, have escaped death from the hands of a few unreasonable thugs, I am afraid that if I punish you, I am afraid that it will provoke the wrath of the people. The riot has just been quelled, and I have no intention of causing any more trouble, so I cannot punish you. ”

Hearing his father's words, Nakaku raised his head in surprise and looked at him.

"However, if I condone the following crimes, where is my authority in face!" William. Jones walked up to him, "Nakaku. Jones, stand up! ”

"Yes!" Nakahisa immediately got up from his seat and looked at his father inexplicably, just like Brunhilde.

"Listen to you, in order to calm the public opinion, I now appoint Nakaku. Jones was appointed Lieutenant Colonel, as the future officer specializing in dealing with Yanings and mestizos in the Mirage area. ”

Hearing of this sudden appointment and personnel arrangement, the audience was in an uproar. Including Zhong Jiu, they all looked at William with wide eyes. Jones.

Brunhilde was one of the first to understand, looking down and smiling.

Major Norton was simply furious, and turned to William. Jones protested loudly:

"I beg your pardon, Governor. But with all due respect, I must protest against the appointment of a half-breed to such an important position as an officer! This is just too much! Totally unacceptable! ”

William. Jones turned his head to look at him, and replied in a calm voice: "Major Norton, please understand, I don't want the mirage to be immersed in the panic of civil war all day long, if I want to govern the colony, I must use other methods to please the local people, Zhongjiu, as a hybrid of Yanin and Meda Busoya, and also a victim of the Confederate Japanese riot, is more easily accepted by the two peoples." ”

"The people of Yaning are easily satisfied! All we have to do is ......."

"I've decided, so be it." William. Jones concluded with a closing sentence that could no longer be refuted, and then left Major Norton, who was trembling in anger, and left the ballroom with his sleeves flicked.

Mr. Stephens clapped his hands, and immediately a large number of manservants came up to clean up the mess, and Nakahisa followed his father's footsteps, and the guests dispersed in shock, contemplation, or schadenfreude whispers, and as he passed Major Norton, who was still standing still, someone patted him comfortingly on the shoulder.

In the hallway, Nakahisa took two quick steps to reach William. Behind Jones: "Father, I'm surprised by your decision...... Thank you. ”

William stopped, turned around with his hands behind his back, and Zhong Jiu was reflected in his bottomless eyes, "It's about family honor, you give me no choice." ”

His words were short but forceful: "If you don't want to insult Jones' surname, prove to me your abilities in the future." ”

Looking at his father's tall figure in the distance, Zhong Jiu realized that he would never be able to guess this person.

Brunhilde stood at the end of the cloister looking at the two men in the moonlight, his green eyes glittering with elusive emotion. When her father left, she turned and flashed into the shadows, dialing the phone in her hand.

————————

In a futuristic, upscale apartment, the light is adjusted to a warm yellow according to the owner's wishes. A woman's wheezing was one after another. It turned out that as soon as the White Tiger was gone, Bonnie and the Green Snake couldn't wait to roll up the sheets.

"Here, here!!" Bonnie urged in a hurry, holding the head of the green snake with one hand and grasping his back with the other, the green snake was now burying his head between her legs, using his long, curved tongue characteristic of the crippled, playing with the most sensitive buds of her lower body, while not forgetting to reach into Bonnie's half-turned blouse and rub her proud breasts.

"Ahh Yes!! Uh!!h As Bonnie shouted more and more high-pitched, her hand gripping the back of the green snake became tighter and tighter, and her nails had sunk into the green snake's skin, drawing five long blood paths. She rolled her eyes and saw that she was about to go to heaven.

“Hey_**y,You_have_a_coming_call！ (Hey, baby, you've got a call)" Bonnie's phone rang at the most inopportune moment.

"Hell!" Bonnie cursed, the hand that had been holding the green snake's back removed and fumbled around, looking for his phone among the scattered clothes on the bed.

“Hey_**y,You_have_a_coming_call！” The phone continued to call.

"Leave it alone." The green snake's tongue still swirled around Bonnie's little cherry, even faster and faster.

Bonnie finally touches the phone, and the caller ID is Alya.

"Ahh No way...... It's the captain! Bonnie is out of breath: "She has access without permission......"

The right of unauthorized access is a special requirement of the Meda Busoya Army, which means that in the event of an urgent mission, the commander can directly connect to all communication devices that can be reached by his subordinates, including mobile phones, regardless of whether they confirm it or not.

But of course, the green snake from the old city did not understand the meaning of the word, and in fact, Bonnie was in a state of euphoria, and contrary to her words, she pressed the green snake's head deeper and deeper between her legs.

"Don't! Don't stop!! It's coming!!! ”

“Direct_phone_access_authorization_is_activated,call’s_coming_in.

(If the access right is activated without permission, the phone will be automatically connected.) )”

“Fxxk!!!!!!!!” At the same time that the phone was connected, Bonnie finally reached the apex of heaven, and couldn't help but cry out hysterically, his legs crossed and clamped the head of the green snake, his toes straightened, his body trembling uncontrollably, and sweat soaking through the sheets.

“What_are_you_doing?！ (What are you doing?!) ）”

The red-haired Arya on the other end of the phone was startled when she heard Bonnie screaming loudly. At this time, Bonnie realized that not only the phone was accessed, but it was also a video call, but fortunately, the phone in his hand was facing the roof just now.

“Nothing… just_practicing_Yoga (no...... It's okay. I do yoga too. ）”

Bonnie glared ambiguously at the green snake, who withdrew her long tongue and silently climbed onto her lying body.

Bonnie cautiously turned the phone around, avoiding the green snake and only pointing the camera at his face.

“Yoga? What_kind_of_Yoga_would_be_that_crazy?

(What about doing yoga?) What yoga is like a group of demons dancing! Red-haired Arya looked at Bonnie's flushed face and sweated profusely, and couldn't help but question.

Bonnie quickly raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead,

“I’m_not_very_flexible,so_it_hurts_when_stretching.

(My muscles and bones are too hard, and it hurts when I stretch it!) ）”

Red-haired Arya shook her head, too lazy to dwell on trivia with Bonnie again:

“Are_they_all_settled_down? Lady_Brynhild_just_calling_for_ask.

(Are they all settled?) Miss Brunhilde had just called to ask. )”

"Yes, don't_worry (It's arranged, don't worry!) Bonnie was desperate to hang up the phone quickly, and the green snake mischievously toyed with her breasts, which were swollen from the excitement just now, causing her to "Ahhh A cry came out.

“What_again? (What's wrong again?) The red-haired Arya asked again when she heard Bonnie's strange voice.

"Nothing, side_stitch (No, it's a fork.) Bonnie quickly removed his face from the camera area and cursed the green snake silently, but his expression was full of charm. At the same time, she jerked the face of the green snake between her proud twin peaks.

“Why_you_seem_so_distracted? (Why don't you keep it?) )”

Red-haired Arya was baffled by Bonnie's behavior: "Are_they_all_moving_in_the_apartment?

(They're all in an apartment?) )”

“Yes… exceptHong,he_insisted_on_living_in_the_downstairs_shanty_town. Emily_took_him_there.

(Yes...... However, Hong Yuesheng insisted on living in the shantytown downstairs, so Emily took him there. The green snake was buried between Bonnie's chest and gasped, Bonnie is the kind of typical western girl, delicate and plump, the green snake was already thin compared to her, and now she couldn't break free by pressing it like this, her hands were already swinging like wheels, but as a prank in return, Bonnie still refused to let go of the hand that pressed the head of the green snake.

"What?!" This time, it was the red-haired Arya who shouted.

“Captain,you_scared_me. What’s_wrong?

(Captain, you scared me, what's wrong?) Bonnie noticed that the red-haired Arya reacted very badly to this.

“Who_said_you_could_make_another_arrangement! (Who made you arrange it that way!) )”

“We_didn’t_get_what_he_was_thinking,and_why_he_insisted_on_moving_to_that_shit_house_over_a_fabulous_apartment…

(I don't know what he thinks, I don't have to live in that shabby house if I have such a nice apartment......)"

“Where’s_he_now? Send_me_his_location. (Where did he go?!) Send me the exact location right away! )”

“Yes,Captain. (Yes, Captain.) Bonnie hung up the phone, unimpressed by the red-haired Arya's reaction, and prepared to go to the window and use the phone camera to capture the coordinates of the shantytown downstairs and send it to the captain. Only then did she let go of the hand that was pressing the green snake, but the green snake didn't move. "Hey, alright, how long are you going to sleep on my chest?"

She shook the green snake, but found that the green snake had turned blue and foamed at the mouth because it had held its breath for too long......

"Hey! Are you okay?! Why are you still foaming at the mouth?! Disgusting! Feed! Wake up......"

—————————

"Are you sure you want to live here?" After checking Hong Yuesheng's heart, Emily still felt uneasy about leaving Hong Yuesheng in this crumbling attic when she left.

"Don't worry, I know what I want." Hong Yuesheng said with a smile.

"Well, if you weren't so stubborn all the time, I'd be a little more reassured." Emily sighed. When Hong Yuesheng sent Emily away, when she reached out and turned the handle on the solid black lacquered wooden door, Emily gently placed her hand on the back of Hong Yuesheng's hand, but Hong Yuesheng gently withdrew her hand.

"I'm sorry...... I'm ......," Hong Yuesheng lowered her head and whispered.

"No, I see, no more say." To avoid embarrassment, Emily turned the doorknob with her hand, opened the door and walked out by herself, she turned her head, looked at Hong Yuesheng's thin face, and smiled slightly: "Remember to find me tomorrow to check my heart and rest early." After speaking, she politely gave Hong Yuesheng a kiss.

"Hmm." Hong Yuesheng nodded.

Seeing Emily away, Hong Yuesheng turned around and looked at her new home.

It is a two-storey attic with a brick and timber structure, with typical features of an old Yaning civilian house. Walking up to the second floor, you can open through the skylight on the pitched roof to the light on the canopy. Before the Asian-American War, large families usually lived in single-storey courtyards or quadrangles, but the mirage, as the capital of Yaning, has a small attic for those who cannot afford to buy or rent such high-end houses. An attic often does not live in a single household, from the entertainers, small traders, plays, poor poets or single artists to the windless people of the ten-mile foreign field may have lived here, which is also the reason why Hong Yuesheng likes here, the smell of the streets and alleys between the square inches, all make him feel familiar, not to mention, compared to the simple house where he used to see the sun all day long in the underground labyrinth, I don't know how many times better.

"Bang!" There was the sound of stones hitting the glass at the window.

Hong Yuesheng followed the sound to the window, and before she arrived, "Bang!" The second sound was someone throwing stones outside the window.

He opened the window and looked out, and the third stone flew up, and he quickly flashed over.

"Hey! BROTHER!” It turned out to be Zhong Jiu, with a white tiger in his hand, and a black car with fire parked next to him. "Why do you live in this hellish place, it's hard for me to find it!"

"Then why did you get here? Emily, they told me you're going to dinner! Hong Yuesheng asked him.

"I can't get used to those Meda Busoya dinners!" Zhongjiu shrugged, "Let's go, I'll take you down to the Fly Pavilion to celebrate!" That's the real dinner party! With that, Zhongjiu waved at him.

"Celebrate what?"

"Why so much nonsense, just follow me!"

After seeing Hong Yuesheng walk out of the attic and get into Zhongjiu's car through high-powered telescopes, the observer put down his glasses and pressed the intercom:

"Report, he's_left. ）”

A message came from the other side of the intercom: "Ok, Go_now (Act now!) )”

The observer made a "Let's_go" gesture to the other team members in the box, and the three boxcars hidden near the attic that had arrived immediately opened their doors, and several plainclothes team members quickly stepped out of the car with their equipment and headed for the attic.

The observer himself was about to leave the car when the intercom rustled again.

"Please speak. The observer picked up the intercom.

“Aliya,do_it_right_this_time. (Arya, get things done this time.) )”

The observer took off the black hat that had been placed on his head, and it was none other than the red-haired Arya:

“I_apologize,won’t_let_you_down_again.

(I apologize for the previous accident, I won't let you down again.) )”

The plainclothes team members easily pried open the black lacquered wooden door of the attic, and quickly dispersed after entering, and the red-haired Arya then entered the room, raising her hand and giving the order:

“Fit_dictagraph_and_3D_camera_to_every_room. We_got_20_minutes. Hurry_up!

(Bugs and 3D cameras are installed in every room, and we have twenty minutes, speed up!) ）”

Bugging and camera feeds are fed into a minimalist Meda Busuya-style room, devoid of any carvings or ornamentation, stripped of all demagogic vanity, and the walls are distinguished by large white, red, gray, and pale blue blocks and lines. It's simple, but it's not simple, and every part of the room has been designed with comfort in mind when it comes into contact with the human body. The newly installed holographic display light on the long, round, light-colored pine table flickered a few times before projecting a three-dimensional image of an entire attic.

A pair of graceful women walked barefoot on a cotton and linen carpet, and when they approached the table, their left foot stopped on the carpet, and their right foot went around to the left foot, and the heel was gently cocked. The beautiful mistress stretched out her right hand and slid it over the three-dimensional image, and the holographic display immediately felt her movements, and the attic began to rotate, showing all angles of the room and the plainclothes players inside. Seeing the red-haired image of Arya, she touched it lightly, then pulled her fingers to the sides, and a close-up of Arya was magnified in front of her eyes.

Arya saluted at the camera:

"All_set, Lieutenant_Brynhild. (All installed, Captain Brunhilde!) ）”

Brunhilde, who was in the room, withdrew his right hand, brought it to his lips, and habitually bit his thumb nail.

“Well_done. Withdraw! ）”

She stared thoughtfully at the new home of the Yaning people, and was unexpectedly attracted by this typical Yaning old-fashioned house. As she kept turning the attic, some familiar fragments flashed by, a few scenes that made her smile, but more that broke her heart, she sighed, then turned her wrist to retract her fingers, and with a "drip" sound, closed the video.
