Chapter 62: Exchanging Clues
"Oh, there is such a thing?" Mo Cong was surprised, "In this way, your boss lady is really a strange woman who values love and righteousness." ”
"It's not!" Mo Min nodded and sighed, "Speaking of which, our boss lady is also a hard-working person. Her hometown is in the southeastern province of Miro, and their family used to be one of the largest families in the region. One year, there were horse thieves in her hometown, and the horse thieves killed her father, mother, sister, and brother, and when they were about to kill her, Brother Chen descended from the sky and led a group of soldiers to drive the horse thieves away.
Sister Mo took a turn before the ghost gate closed, and the first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Brother Chen wearing black armor like you. It's a pity that she only had time to take a look, and before she could bother to say thank you, Brother Chen turned around and went after the horse thief.
Sister Mo was originally a delicate eldest lady, but she encountered a family ruin overnight, and met a life-saving benefactor like Brother Chen. She was strong enough to bury her dead relatives, and asked around about the origin and identity of Brother Chen, and then took all the maids and servants all the way to the capital and opened this high-quality fragrant restaurant next to Brother Chen's mansion. Hey, it's been more than two years in a blink of an eye. ”
"Oh, I see. Mo Cong sighed when he heard this, sighed, and asked, "Does Brother Chen know about this?"
"This may have to ask Brother Chen himself. Mo Min shook his head. "Sister Mo opened the restaurant next to Chen's mansion, just to have more opportunities to see Brother Chen. But in order not to interfere with Brother Chen's normal life, she just silently burns incense and prays for Brother Chen every day, and things like visiting and affectionate confessions like her still can't be done, so Brother Chen may not know. Hehe, when he comes back, you can ask him in person, to see if he still remembers Sister Mo in Miro Province back then. By the way, when will Brother Chen come back? Regarding the old man, has there been any news from his friend recently?"
"I can't say when Brother Chen will come back. This time, he went out to recruit new recruits, and he was supposed to be able to turn back in a month or two, but then he heard that the recruitment plan was progressing slowly, and it would take about three months to come back. As a result, up to now, the recruits have arrived in several batches one after another, but Brother Chen himself has never returned. Mo Cong said.
I haven't seen him for a few months, and Mo Cong also misses Chen Ruoping a lot, and when he mentions this name, that smile that makes people feel like a spring breeze will appear in his mind. He paused and said, "Brother Chen's friend hasn't had any new news recently, but I have found some clues in the barracks and heard some things. ”
"Oh? When Mo Min heard him say this, his spirits immediately perked up.
"That's right, on the first day I arrived at the barracks, I found traces left by the old man's use of the Heavenly Dragon True Qi on a large rock in the camp. Later, I heard that the camp was originally the station of the Central Guard of the Central Army of the Swedish Kingdom, and later the 3rd Battalion of the Left Guard came directly to that station after returning from the border pass. As for where the original Central Army Central Guard went, everyone was a little vague or even evasive, and it seemed that everyone was deliberately avoiding this question. Mo Cong said: "But I heard those officers of the Central Army talk quietly, saying that the Central Army originally had 600,000 people, but I don't know what happened, and suddenly more than 300,000 people died within a few days." More than 100,000 people were either killed or stayed at the border. The current central army is less than 120,000, and even the original guards can't be gathered, so Brother Chen is in a hurry to go to all parts of the country to recruit new soldiers. I vaguely feel that these things are related to our old man, but I can't figure out what is going on. ”
"Ah, the news I heard here is completely different!" Mo Min said in surprise: "The news I heard is that the capital was very unsafe a year ago, and the soldiers were killing people and looting things indiscriminately in the city, killing the entire capital to the point of panic and bloodshed. People are still scared to talk about it, especially when they see you soldiers, like a mouse sees a cat. ”
"Oh, and that kind of thing? I also said that the cooks were trembling when they saw me, and that's why. Mo Cong nodded, with a sudden realization.
"Well, they're afraid of you, and it's not just because of that. Mo Min snorted disdainfully and explained: "They often bully the eldest brother on weekdays, and let the eldest brother do this and that every day like a subordinate, but the eldest brother has such a temper, let them call and drink but don't say a word." And I'm a powerless little girl, even if I yell at them a few words, I won't really treat them well, so they are even more unscrupulous. I didn't expect you to suddenly come over to see us, hum, they remembered what they usually did, and then looked at your clothes, they were naturally scared!"
The more Mo Min spoke, the more angry he became, he exhaled deeply, and said: "Let's not talk about this for a while, you just said that you suspect that these things have something to do with the old man, what kind of correlation method? Could it be that the old man heard that the soldiers were killing people indiscriminately in the capital, so he ran to the capital to kill more than 300,000 people? This is too unbelievable, right?"
"Hehe, I don't think it's likely. Mo Cong also felt that this kind of inference was too unbelievable, and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. "Hey, I'm just extrapolating from the time, and I vaguely feel that these things may be related to our old man, but I don't know what kind of correlation method is. ”
"Hmph, I thought you had found some clues, but it turned out that you didn't say anything, which made people happy. Mo Min glanced at Mo Cong.
Mo Xiao quietly listened to Mo Cong and Mo Min's words, and his face was also happy for a while, and disappointed for a while.
"Hey, I said San'er, there are a lot of rules in the barracks, I can hear about these in such a short time, it's already very good, okay?" Mo Cong felt that he was despised, so he explained helplessly. "You've been here for three months, and it's not just a little bit of news. Hey, anyway, it's much better now than when I first came to the capital, so let's keep up the good work. ”
"Well, it's a little stronger than when I first arrived, but it's also limited. Mo Min nodded and sighed: "It's really too slow to find it just like this." Hey, don't you know, when I heard them talk about the indiscriminate murder in the capital, I was very worried about the safety of the old man, and worried that he would have any accidents. Sometimes nightmares in the middle of the night can scare you awake. ”
"You don't have to worry too much about that. Mo Cong saw her worried look, so he comforted her: "I have been in the military camp for three months this time, and I have a general understanding of the strength of the Swiss army. It is said that there are eighteen masters in the Central Army, which can be regarded as the top figures in the Swiss military circles, but their skills seem to me, well... To use an inappropriate analogy, just like the old man looked at the three of us, the gap is so big that it is not worth mentioning at all. Think about it, the top masters of the Swiss army are not a threat to us, how can ordinary soldiers of the Swiss army hurt the old man?"
"Really?" Mo Min looked surprised, still skeptical in his heart, "Then according to what you say, if the people in the Swiss army are so bad, then how can they fight with other countries?"
"I don't know about this, maybe the armies of other countries are basically at this level. Mo Cong guessed. "Anyway, I mean, if the old man encounters these people, even if they kill them when they meet them, it is impossible to pose any danger to the old man, and even those people may not even be able to see the shadow of the old man. So you don't have to worry too much about the old man's safety, and you don't have to wake yourself up with nightmares in the middle of the night. Mo Cong patted Mo Min's shoulder and relieved her, telling her not to be too anxious.
"Well, I hope it's as you say. Mo Min nodded.
