When Li Xiaomo took Modi and Frank away, Luo An had already gone out first, because he was "honorably" summoned by the chief of staff.

He was only a staff officer of Zheng Huwei's Fourth Infantry Corps, and if he had the opportunity to meet the chief of staff in peacetime, he would definitely be vigorous, but at the moment he was terrified and didn't know what greeted him.

Li Xiaomo and his entourage went back on a small warship, and Nangong Zhixi and his entourage were also on another small warship.

But just before Nangong Zhixi left, Nangong Lie contacted her, and after saying something, she was uneasy in her heart, and her thoughts were also very complicated, Nangong Lie asked her to invite Li Xiaomo to eat at home, at this juncture, she didn't have the face to see Li Xiaomo at all, how could she invite Li Xiaomo home for dinner?

She didn't know why Nangong Lie suddenly had this thought, Nangong Lie was resolute, and she could only reluctantly respond, fortunately Jace didn't know about it, otherwise she wouldn't know how much of a tantrum to lose.

Back at the academy, she took Jace and Anderson to find Dean Meng Xiaoru.

When they entered the office, they saw Meng Xiaoru's face gloomy, and the three of them were very strange and kept silent.

Meng Xiaoru rubbed his forehead and looked at the three of them one by one, his eyes looked very helpless and disappointed, he shook his head and sighed: "I originally thought that you could earn some face for the academy, but now it's okay to throw your face to the Rhodes Fortress." ”

The three of them were taken aback, this is not right, especially Jace and Anderson, the two of them thought that they had earned military merits, and they were very happy, this is also their qualifications after graduation, who knew that they would change as soon as they came back, is it a shame to take military merits?

Nangong Zhixi frowned slightly, and then returned to indifference, she was not satisfied with this mission, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a shame, with this mentality, she felt a sense of relief, but she was very puzzled, and she didn't understand why the military had two completely different attitudes.

"Each of you has a great demerit. Meng Xiaoru's next words made her eyes widen suddenly, this is too unexpected, even if there is no merit, it should not be credited, this kind of stain has a huge impact on the future, she is ashamed of the leadership of the army, but let her carry this stain, she is also difficult to accept.

Jace and Anderson were even more unconvinced, as if they had been beaten from heaven to hell.

Meng Xiaoru sighed: "The chief of staff of the Rhodes Fortress contacted me personally, and he was very disappointed with your performance. ”

Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly sharpened: "Especially Jace and Anderson, you two can even be used by classmates, who gave you the guts?

Jace and Anderson were too scared to speak, any justification was superfluous at this time, and they knew very well what the two of them had done.

This is the two-sided nature of things, if you want to maintain them, it can be said that you are in a hurry to follow the power, take the big and give up the small, but put aside the superficial cover-up, it is also a fact that you are against your classmates and opponents in order to escape, it depends on how to characterize it.

At this moment, Li Xiaomo and his entourage have also returned to the imperial city, Modi went to the mercenary union to receive the commission, and originally wanted to give Zabi a share, but Zabi didn't want it, so Li Xiaomo took 30,000, leaving 70,000 Modi and Frank 35,000 each.

Passing by the equipment shop, Li Xiaomo took out the spider back armor, wanting to see if he could sell it for some money, but he didn't want this back armor to be worth 20,000 gold coins.

According to the clerk, the spider back armor is the best material used by the refiners to make the leather armor of the elementalists, and they charge as much as they want, not afraid of running out of money, but afraid that you will run out of goods.

Li Xiaomo almost didn't squirt out a mouthful of old blood after hearing this, he knew that if he killed a few more, wouldn't this be more than the commission?

Modi and Frank were also blindsided, and the two looked at each other, as if they wanted to run to the refining room again, but this kind of thought could only be thought, no matter how much gold coins there were, they had to have a life flower.

At this time, it was almost dark, and in order to celebrate the success of the mission, the two were clamoring to go to the night tavern, and Zabi was immediately interested in drinking when he heard about it, and Li Xiaomo was too lazy to mess around with them and went home alone.

Nangong Zhixi was sitting in the hall chatting with He Guang, and when she saw him coming back, she quickly stood up, her eyes dodging, and she looked a little at a loss.

He Guang said with a smile: "Young Master Xiaomo, Miss Zhixi has been waiting for you for a long time. ”

Li Xiaomo nodded, walked over and sat down, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the wine glass on the table: "Finger wine? ”

Nangong Zhixi sat on another set of sofas on his right, and when she heard this, she took the wine glass in her hand again, she didn't want to drink, but wanted to use it to raise her courage.

He Guang looked at the two of them, glanced at the maids, and retreated together.

"Do you have something to do with me?" Li Xiaomo broke the silence, he could feel Nangong Zhixi's uneasiness, he didn't have to think about it, it was related to the task of the refining room, and sighed again when he said this: "I don't blame you for this, don't think about it." ”

Nangong Zhixi silently poured a glass of wine and handed it to him, added two more ice cubes, and said softly: "You can't get used to drinking spirits, add some ice cubes." ”

Li Xiaomo's brows became tighter and tighter, and the emotions left in his body brought him a very complex emotion in this atmosphere, he wanted to get close to Nangong Zhixi, which made him very annoyed, he knew that this was the emotion of the dead Li Xiaomo, but he couldn't resist, because this emotion was in the body, in the head, he shook his head fiercely, took a sip of the wine glass, and then poured himself a full glass.

Spit out a sip of wine, he cursed fiercely the wisp of cowardly, damned, and unambitious lonely soul who had ascended to heaven a long time ago, and said to Nangong Zhixi: "Are you looking for me to drink bar?"

Nangong Zhixi bit her lip lightly, and finally spoke: "My father wants to invite you to my house for dinner." The voice was so small that she couldn't even hear it.

Li Xiaomo remembers the experience in Nangong's house that day very clearly, although it was the dead Li Xiaomo, but the memory was in his head, especially when he was now alive as Li Xiaomo, the memory of his previous life seemed to be a long time ago, he was more like Li Xiaomo, rather than the god of magic in his previous life.

So after hearing that Nangong Lie was going to invite him to dinner, he was very surprised, he didn't know what Nangong Lie meant, but he still agreed, he had to regain his dignity for his current identity.

Nangong Zhixi finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him agree.

After leaving for a while, she soon came back and told Li Xiaomo that her father had ordered his subordinates to prepare a banquet and invited Li Xiaomo to come over now.

Li Xiaomo didn't expect Nangong Lie to be in such a hurry to meet, if he wanted to drink and eat, he could only deceive the fool, he thought about it for a while, and immediately understood Nangong Lie's intentions.

In fact, he thought of a problem when he was in the fortress, since the chief of staff Wei Cannon had to deal with Jace and Anderson, Nangong Zhixi would definitely not be able to escape, because Nangong Zhixi was the person in charge of the operation.
