Chapter Twenty-Four: The Guardian Beggars the Sheep

Long Kuishan was so shrewd, the moment the duke turned around, he had already observed what was going on, and immediately hinted that Yu Fei should not be too close to Wu Gang.

Zimo held the duke's arm, the intimacy was no less than that of a father and daughter who had reunited after a long absence, the daughter's naughtiness and the father's solemn joy were overflowing, and outsiders could see it at a glance.

The Confederate security services responded fairly quickly, with less than two minutes from the appearance of the "Bingguo" at the Chaka Salt Lake base to the completion of the deployment of the three-dimensional police force.

Of course, the news of the duke's appearance at the Salt Lake base also reached the Shenjue Gate as soon as possible, and the various committees and offices were alert, and the relevant functions immediately ran at a high speed. The Supreme Power Center, with the Marquis Peter as the temporary head, immediately convened an emergency meeting.

"Everyone, please pay attention, Lord Noshou's return to the Salt Lake base, and the news is true. As soon as possible, you will sort out the major events that have happened in the Confederation during the time of the Duke's absence, and give them to me after summarizing. "The tall and strong, ruddy-faced Marquis Peter got straight to the point, his gray hair was a little messy, his eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to lack sleep. "Be quick, don't procrastinate. He tapped his cigarette pouch on the table and continued.

Here's what I do.

After assigning the task, the Marquis returned to the office, and he felt that he should give Dianshou a call at this time, perhaps Dianshou was waiting.

"Lord Nod, I heard that you are back, and my hanging heart can be put down. How's it going, is this trip going well? Oh, it's good if there's no danger. Home. Everything is fine at home, it is working normally, everything is done according to your instructions before the trip, you are very thoughtful, and there are no accidents. Have you heard something? Oh, no, no. By the way, when will you go back to headquarters, everyone is waiting to report back to you. Well, well, everything is done according to your instructions. Okay, Brother Bingguo, you can rest assured, waiting for your instructions at any time. ”

The Marquis put down the phone and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The Duke was cautious in his words and deeds on the other end of the phone, and he showed great leadership skills.

Picking up the cigarette pouch and taking a few puffs, the strong cigar tobacco tasted very irritating, and exhaled a cloud of smoke, the marquis got up from the wide leather chair, paced back and forth in the large office a few times, called the secretary loudly, and asked, how is this guy Kane?

It's still like that, I don't eat hard and soft, I'm half crazy and half upside down, and from time to time I mutter something that no one understands. The secretary replied truthfully.

Good, good, good. The marquis said three good words in a row, and the secretary was puzzled.

Marquis Peter quickly turned around, looked squarely at the young and capable secretary, lit it in front of him with a cigarette pouch in his right hand, and said, this is what a person like him should be. Strange words and deeds, big unconventional, this is normal. On the contrary, if everything about him resonates with us, it will not be normal for us. If he's not normal, there's not much point for us to control him.

The secretary struggled to understand the Marquis's words as he went around.

Where is Kane now?, the Marquis asked.

In the area of number five. The secretary replied.

In order to ensure Kane's safety, Peter arranged for him to live in three places in turn, which were named Area 2, Area 5, and Area 13. There were only three people who knew the secret, and besides the secretary, Peter's personal guard, the sheep. The secretary is in charge of Kane's day-to-day life, and the sheep is in charge of the guards when Kane is transferred.

"Be patient, have faith. Peter reminded the secretary, "Kane is a genius who has not been seen in a century, and if I want him to be used by me, I must know it with reason and move it with emotion." Don't slack off. ”

"Yes. The subordinates took it to heart. The secretary said respectfully.

"Show me the records. The Marquis motioned for the secretary to bring a daily record of Kane's words and deeds.

"One day in the month, half a bowl of porridge for breakfast, and then shouting to the southern sky: 'I want to go home, and there is a lot of water on all sides, and my house is in a hollow, and the waves are on fire, and I need this water urgently, so don't waste it.' Then he knelt down, clenched his hands into fists, his thumbs upwards, his hands stretched out, his thumbs bent, and the words in his mouth. I can't hear what I read. He didn't eat at noon, knelt cross-legged to the north, his hands hung down at will, resting on his knees, his palms were up, his eyes were closed, his lips and teeth did not move, and red spots appeared in the center of his eyebrows. This continued until dinnertime. For dinner, I had two pieces of bread and a sausage, and asked me for a bottle of vodka on ice. At night, he sleeps on his side (facing south) in this position until dawn······.

Although it is a running account, the daily situation is still clear, and it can be seen that the secretary is still very attentive.

Let's look at the last two days:

Kane began to fidget, did not use breakfast, and since the morning, he kept turning on the computer, and strange patterns appeared on the screen, followed by flashing lines of numbers and formulas, Kane stared at the screen without blinking, and sometimes looked at another instrument next to him, the big guy was said to be made according to Kane's design, and no one understood what it was for. The small screen on a large machine is not as stable and clear as usual, but constantly jumps and flickers, like waves in the interfered audio lines. Kane just ate two sausages for lunch, didn't take a nap, and turned on all four computers in the room in the afternoon, plus the big machine. The screens of the entire indoor machine flickered at the same frequency. At night, the old man ran around the house like crazy, shouting: Oh, bad, the prophet has been strangled, the alien attack has succeeded, and the earth is about to suffer again. ”

Next up for the most recent day.

“······ The most important thing Kane did today was to look at the map, the huge world map on the east wall, made him stare at it for ten hours, these ten hours, he didn't eat or drink, he didn't drink a sip of water, finally, he picked up a herringbone ladder in the corner of the house, approached the map, climbed the ladder, grabbed his hands full of red and blue pencils, painted the southern part of America, the South Asian subcontinent and most of the Indian Ocean in a messy color, and finally seemed to still be unrelieved, and smashed the head of the pencil on the map with his hand······"

The Marquis's brow furrowed. This guy, what is this trying to tell us or realize something, what big thing is going to happen to the world?

Gradually, the Marquis's eyes focused on the South American continent and the South Asian subcontinent. Since these two places are locked by Kane, it means that no matter what he wants to say, or what may happen in the future, these two places must be inseparable.

The marquis's every move, of course, the secretary watched.

"Don't take it seriously, sir. I think he's a pure lunatic. Babbling, scribbling, why should you believe it. "The secretary has followed the marquis for many years, knows his character, and is very serious when it comes to things, once he decides something, the nine cows can't pull it back.

"Wuxi, you are wrong. "This old man is not a madman, but a strange man who is hundreds of times more wise than us." Odd people have strange people's lifestyles and expressions. If we don't see this, we are stupid. It would be a remiss on our part to see this and not take advantage of it. ”

"In that case, if you hand him over to me, I definitely have a way to get him to speak directly. ”

"What is the solution?

"No, absolutely not. Wu Xi hurriedly replied, "I have followed you for many years, and I will never do anything against your will." ”

"That's pretty much it. The Marquis nodded triumphantly, waiting for the next step of the black seal.

"Your Excellency, you think that's good. According to your analysis, whether it is great sorrow and joy, evil and difficult things, the South American continent, or the South Asian subcontinent are inseparable. If I take that crazy old man to those two places, he's going to behave differently than the other places, or maybe this guy will have something we didn't expect. What do you think?" said Wu Xi with some smugness.

"Oh, the boy has grown a lot. The Marquis approving.

"Your idea seems to have some truth, but it is not easy to implement. Especially on the Duke's side. This duke's trip is said to be the Andes Mountains of South America. Below the South Asian subcontinent, across the sea, the island nation of Sri Lanka is also the place where the legendary duke ran for many years. How to bring Kane, a big living person, to two places thousands of miles away in secret, lacks a practical implementation plan. Of course, there are difficulties, but they are not impossible. It's just not necessary for the time being. You kid can think of that. Congratulations. The Marquis reaffirmed with a wave of his cigarette pouch.

When the master and servant were exchanging joys, there was a knock on the door, and the two of them were stunned at the same time, and immediately stopped the topic, signaling Secretary Wu to open the door, and the marquis sat behind the wide desk, and read the documents piled up on the table seriously.

The person who came was the marquis's personal guard, the sheep. This is a short, slender Gurkha from the Gurkha county of Nepal, a small landlocked country before the catastrophe of the earth, a world-famous mercenary base, and wears the famous Gurkha scimitar with him.

He was very familiar with Secretary Wu, and with a kind smile on his dark face, he nodded at him, said hello, walked straight to the marquis, and after saluting, he waited for instructions.

The secretary and the guard were both close followers of the marquis, but due to the different tasks they were responsible for, they were not informative with each other, and each had their own principles of secrecy.

Secretary Wu saw that the sheep was coming, and there must be an important intelligence report, so he was about to leave, but was stopped by the marquis.

"If the report of the heads of the temporary command center is ready, you must send it to me as soon as possible. The marquis's cigarette pouch continued to light in the air, and said, "Your main focus at the moment is on the crazy old man's side, monitor it in detail, and don't let go of any details." With that, the cigarette pouch pointed outwards and told the secretary to leave.

After seeing that the door was closed, he came out from behind his desk, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "How is it, young man?"

The size of the 160 is in stark contrast to the size of Peter's 180. No matter how the marquis looked at him, he had a condescending posture.

The beggar did not smile, knowing that the marquis patting him was a sign of intimacy. Peter has great trust and affection for this Gurkha lad from the world-famous mercenary production area. Every time I see him, I always smile comfortably.

"Report to your Excellency, I have found an important situation, and I have come to report to you. The young man replied.

The Marquis smiled and nodded.

He turned on the computer he was carrying with him and opened a video.

This is the scene when the "Bingguo" suddenly appeared at the Chaka Salt Lake base, and the Duke and his entourage walked out of the engine room. The picture is very lively, the duke's entourage is a large group, all of them are young handsome men and beautiful women, and the captain is also a handsome young man. Of course, there is a picture of Yu Zimo, a well-known beautiful reporter in the Confederacy, dominating the limelight. The executives of the Confederation's Shenjue Gate knew that the relationship between the woman and the Duke was that of father and daughter, so the Marquis was not surprised. From the appearance of the "Bingguo" out of thin air to the duke and his entourage entering the VIP room of the base, every subtle movement of the duke was filmed and completely recorded.

Marquis Peter looked back and forth twice, but found no valuable information.

Qi Yang explained on the side: This is the picture taken by three satellites at the same time, and the real scene is restored after technical processing.

Well, then said. Marquis Road.

From the Duke stepping out of the cabin to entering the lounge. From the perspective of security and the psychological analysis of the character's personality, there are several problems.

First, under the close monitoring of the satellite, the "Bingguo" did not have a flight trajectory, and ground monitoring could not find its course, even in the reserved safe passage, it could not find any trajectory. How did such a large flying machine appear out of thin air?

Second, before the duke's trip, he held a press conference to make the purpose of the trip public, and took his son Zhao Ximin to a mysterious place in the Andes Mountains of South America to seek medical treatment. It is said that we have got what we wanted, but we did not see the accompanying Duchess Lin Xiuzhi, let alone her son Zhao Ximin, and his party appeared outside the cabin, where did they go?

Third, the duke walked out of the hatch and saw the press corps under the gangway, the ground was obviously gloomy, and at this time Yu Zimo appeared in the camera, and behind her was a large group of reporters. Strangely, the Duke was uncharacteristically not interviewed at the airport or made a written speech, which was contrary to what he had done before his departure.

Yu Zimo is the chief reporter of Xiandao.com, and he is also a well-known fast mouth, sharp mouth, and sharp mouth in the industry, this time his performance was unusual, he grabbed the duke's arm, leaned his head on the duke's arm, and said something to the duke. And it was at this time that the Duke looked back. Please note that this is the only time the Duke has turned back. What is strange is that when a normal person turns around, he should look at the entourage behind him, but the duke's gaze is swept over the no-man's land behind him, and the only person who enters his field of vision is only one person, that is, his personal guard, and the captain of the shadowless tiger Wu Gang.

Adults, please pay attention, the highlight is coming. Did you see that as the duke's personal guard, he was responsible for the duke's close defense, and his position should be within three meters of the duke's center. But now, the Shadowless Tiger is five meters away. Moreover, what is even more suspicious is that this guy is not wearing the civilian clothes prescribed by the guards, but is wearing a new fashion, shiny leather shoes, a loose step, and a head tilted to the right as he walks, his face full of happiness and sweetness, as if there is his lover on the right.

However, when the duke turned around, his eyes did not meet Wu Gang's, and in a moment, this guy returned to normal and quickly followed. It's as if someone has tipped him off. Don't you think it's strange, my lord?

I didn't expect that the beggar, who usually doesn't smile, spoke in an orderly and calm manner. Moreover, the whole analysis process shows the good personal qualities of the security personnel.

"Well, there's some truth to that. "The cigarette pouch was about to go out, and the marquis brought it to his mouth only to find out.

"What, then, is your final opinion, or the result of your analysis?" said the Marquis, looking at the sheep.

"My lord, I have an idea. Of course, it's just an idea, and I don't know if it's right or not. The sheep wanted to speak and stopped.

"After all, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. Let's analyze and reason. ”

"My lord, I think the Duke is followed by a group of invisible men. We can't see it with the naked eye, but I feel that this group of people is real. ”

"According to your analysis, it can be seen that these invisible people are all under the command of the duke, and they are all guarding the duke. The sudden appearance of the 'Bingguo', or the choice of Qinghai Chaka Salt Lake instead of the nearby Xiaoshan Airport, was all influenced by these people. The Marquis analyzed.

"yes, how do you know. The sheep asked in surprise.

"I don't know. But your logic tells me that's what I should think, isn't it?" said the Marquis, smiling as he stared at the young man.

A smile appeared on the sheep's swarthy face. He didn't know if he was right or wrong.

"Let's assume now that what you say is true, the next question is, where did these invisible people come from, how did they gain the Duke's trust and were brought to the base, what was their purpose, and what kind of skills did they have besides stealth?" the Marquis said, asking for the opinion of the sheep.

"My lord, I think so. The Duke is a pivotal figure in our Confederacy, and no matter what, we must be vigilant if there is any change around him. The so-called no wind and no waves. The record of this video has been placed in front of us, and it is definitely not made out of nothing, and it is guaranteed by reputation. The sheep said seriously.

The marquis lit the tobacco that was about to be extinguished in the cigarette pouch, took two puffs violently, spit out a thick smoke, walked back and forth a few steps, his expression was extremely serious, and suddenly turned around, facing the beggars with the same solemn expression, Zhengse said, don't make a show in advance. Whether the Duke knew about this is unknown. Perhaps, the Duke will have a more long-term and mature plan. After saying that, he stretched out his hand and waved outward, and the sheep left in a playful manner.

If the Duke had known about this for a long time, and had only laid out the overall situation on the plank road, then the Confederation would have faced new challenges in the future.

Marquis Peter felt more and more that Zhao Bingguo, the first-class duke of the first class, was really unfathomable, and he was worthy of being the pillar of the Confederacy.
