Chapter 167: The Soul of Gossip
Zhao Manying had noticed Yao Xian's existence before, but her mind was on Ji Xinghuo, so she didn't pay attention to others.
"May I ask who you are?"
"Manying, let me introduce you." Ji Xinghuo said, "This is Aunt Yao Xian, the senior of our Sword Bureau, sent to protect me. ”
Zhao Manying also saw that this lady was a legendary powerhouse, and hurriedly said: "Hello Aunt Yao, I am Zhao Manying, thank you for protecting Xinghuo, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”
"No trouble, no trouble."
Yao Xian looked at Zhao Manying intently, with a smile on her face, her attitude towards Zhao Manying was obviously much more enthusiastic than that towards Ji Xinghuo, her eyes lit up, "I often watch your games, and my daughter is also a loyal fan of yours, I didn't expect to see you here." ”
Although she tried her best to maintain the posture of her predecessors, she still inadvertently revealed a strong gossip heart.
"Thank you Aunt Yao for your support." Zhao Manying did not sneer the other party.
This Aunt Yao made Yao Xian very happy.
She asked curiously, "Manying, Ji Xinghuo is the boyfriend you announced before?" ”
"yes." Zhao Manying generously admitted.
"Not bad, not bad." Yao Xian nodded with a smile, "Xinghuo, this young man is good, he has a high talent and a promising future, he is definitely worthy of you." Then he said to Ji Xinghuo: "Xinghuo, you have to cherish it and remember what I just said." ”
"Yes, Aunt Yao." Ji Xinghuo responded.
"How did you meet? Do you usually go on dates? Yao Xian finally couldn't help but ask, she knew something about Ji Xinghuo, knew that he had been in the Star Boundary before, and it had only been two or three months since he came back, how could he come into contact with Zhao Manying, and also confirmed the relationship?
The first of the ladder actually fell in love with the ladder, this is big news!
Ji Xinghuo and Zhao Manying glanced at each other, and both of them had a feeling that this legendary senior was so curious about the love life of young people like the seven aunts and eight aunts.
"Ahem......"
Yao Xian knew that she was a little out of shape, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just asking casually, you don't have to tell me." ”
She picked up the book in her hand and continued to read, but her mind was not on the book at all, and her eyes drifted over from time to time, making both of them a little uncomfortable.
If it's someone else, you can avoid it.
However, this is a powerful legendary alien, and he also shoulders the responsibility of protecting Ji Xinghuo.
The two could only talk in a whisper as if she didn't exist.
Zhao Manying said: "I see rumors on the Internet that the almighty soldier is not an official person of the United States, but a professional killer, is this true?" ”
"It's true." Ji Xinghuo nodded, "But it can't be ruled out that this layer of identity is just a disguise, which is convenient for doing dirty work." ”
"How could he have his eye on you?"
"There is a guess in the bureau for the time being, but I can't be sure."
"If it's confidential, don't tell me." Zhao Manying was very reasonable, but her face was angry, "No matter what reason that person attacked you, I have written down this hatred." If he hadn't died, I'd settle accounts with him sooner or later. ”
Although she is only a super stranger, as the first in the ladder, she has the confidence to say this.
No one on earth dares to underestimate the number one ladder.
Ji Xinghuo patted Zhao Manying's jade hand, "I will personally avenge this revenge, and when the time comes, I will ask you to help me suppress the formation." ”
"It's a deal." Zhao Manying nodded heavily.
Her expression returned to normal, and she sat on the edge of Ji Xinghuo's bed, snuggling up to him and whispering.
"It's past one o'clock in the morning, aren't you going back?" Ji Xinghuo asked, "I remember that you still have training tomorrow morning, don't delay." ”
"I'm here with you tonight, and I'll take a leave of absence for training tomorrow." Zhao Manying had already made a decision.
"Okay."
Ji Xinghuo smiled and nodded.
At this time, the mobile phone rang again, it was the second brother Zhong Ming calling, and he had been asking himself in the family group just now.
"Second brother."
"Xinghuo, is it you who was attacked on the video?" Zhong Ming asked eagerly, "Don't deny it, I've seen Qinghong." ”
Ji Xinghuo knew that he couldn't hide it, "That person is me, you don't have to worry too much, I'm fine." ”
"Are you really okay?"
Zhong Ming couldn't believe it, he watched the video dozens of times, and it was from different shooting angles, Ji Xinghuo was very seriously injured, and if he was an ordinary person, a hundred lives would be dead, but Ji Xinghuo could still answer the phone well, which made him a little more relieved.
"Really!"
Ji Xinghuo had no choice but to sit up straight and show his body in front of the camera, and he couldn't even find the scars.
"That's good......" Zhong Ming breathed a long sigh of relief, "You don't know, eldest sister, they are all dying, your phone can't get through, and the group doesn't reply to messages." ”
"I was being treated just now, and I couldn't answer the phone."
Ji Xinghuo appeased him, and replied in the group, and also sent a few selfie photos to prove that he was good, telling them that it was too late, and that there was a shield guard from the Ministry of Public Security to take care of him, and he couldn't visit him for the time being, at least he would have to wait until tomorrow to come to the hospital.
At dawn, Ji Xinghuo woke up.
He sat up slowly, opened the interface and took a look, the star power had recovered to 742/742, and his body was basically healed, but he was still a little sore.
This is the after-effect of overdraft, and it may take a few days to fully recover.
"Starfire, are you awake?"
Zhao Manying, who was resting on the side of the bed, immediately noticed the movement, opened her eyes, and asked with concern, "How do you feel now?" ”
"It's almost good, and it's a good man to rest for two or three days." Ji Xinghuo made a movement to show his biceps, but his stomach made a gurgling sound, and he smiled: "I'm just a little hungry, I need a lot of food to recover my strength." ”
Zhao Manying immediately stood up, "I'll buy it for you." ”
With that, he went out the door.
"I envy your blessings, if I were a man, I would probably be red for the rest of my life." Yao Xian put down the book in her hand and said with a smile.
She hadn't slept all night and had already finished reading two books.
Ji Xinghuo didn't know how to answer, since Zhao Manying came last night, Yao Xian had been observing the two of them from the side, and the irrepressible gossip soul was almost overflowing from her eyes, and she couldn't hide it.
Later, Zhao Manying simply chatted with her and learned some things.
Yao Xian was promoted to a legendary alien many years ago.
Her profession is a branch of psionic stringers, sonic stringers, because she is indifferent to fame and fortune, likes to be quiet, and has not done anything sensational, so her name is not on the legend list.
In her words, she cultivated to a legend in an ordinary way, and it did not affect getting married and starting a family.
Usually a housewife.
Although she is the Xuanyuan swordsman of the Sword Bureau, she is rarely needed to be dispatched. Now that my daughter has gone to college, she is more idle at home. In the first two years, I was accidentally promoted to the second stage of the legend, and my biggest hobby after cultivation is reading, and it is a physical book.
The two looked at each other.
The second stage of the legend, can you also be promoted "accidentally"?
It's a terrifying talent!
However, what surprised Ji Xinghuo the most was that Yao Xian revealed one thing, her husband was Zhou Yishang. This made him suddenly realize, no wonder Zhou Ju said that the swordsman he sent was "absolutely reliable".
He sent all his wives, can he be unreliable?
A moment later.
Zhao Manying came back with a lot of food, all of which Ji Xinghuo loved to eat. She also brought breakfast to Yao Xian very intimately, and even the shield guards guarding outside the ward did not forget, everyone had it.
Ji Xinghuo was about to do it himself, but Zhao Manying stopped him.
"Don't move."
An invisible kinetic hand untied the food packaging box, and at the same time, a small dining table flew over and landed in front of Ji Xinghuo, and the opened food box fell on it, placed neatly, and even the chopsticks and soup spoons were ready, but they were not fed to the mouth.
Yao Xian looked at this scene and couldn't help laughing: "Your sword control skills are very convenient for preparing meals, and you are also a good hand at doing hygiene at home." ”
Zhao Manying smiled slightly.
She usually never does housework at home, either she does it with a housekeeping robot or pays someone to serve her.
After a full meal, Ji Xinghuo felt that his strength had recovered a little.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Yao Xian answered a phone call and said to Ji Xinghuo: "Yi Shang will come over immediately." ”
"I'll shy away from it." Zhao Manying got up, "Xinghuo, I'll come back in the afternoon, and let me know if I'm discharged." ”
A few minutes later, Zhou Yishang walked into the ward, his eyes had a few faint bloodshots, and he looked like he hadn't rested all night, consuming a lot of mental energy.
"Xiaoxian, thank you for your hard work." Zhou Yishang smiled at his wife, then looked back at Ji Xinghuo, and saw that he was recovering well, so he officially said, "The inner ghost has been found." ”
"Who is it?"
"Mountain Shaker." Zhou Yishang said in a deep voice.
Ji Xinghuo was taken aback, and Yao Xian's face was also solemn.
"Mountain Shaker" is a code name, and his real identity is a Chixiao swordsman in the Sword Bureau, his real name is Peng Zhenshan, a super alien.
Ji Xinghuo had only just entered the Sword Bureau, and he had only seen Peng Zhenshan once, but he had heard of his deeds. This is one of the most senior Chixiao Swordsmen, who has served for more than twenty years, is strong, and has a good chance of becoming a legend, and is a reserve candidate for Xuanyuan Swordsman.
"There are not many people in the Sword Bureau who have the authority to monitor the whereabouts and trajectory of Xinghuo, and there will be no more than twenty people in total."
"And I also have to get in touch with the investigation team I set up to know the inside story of the mission."
"These two conditions can be screened together, and the inner ghost can be locked." Zhou Yishang said easily, in fact, he has done a lot of work, and internal self-examination has always been one of the most difficult things, and it took a lot of energy to do it, but there was no joy on his face, "By the time I locked on Peng Zhenshan, he had already disappeared." ”
"When did you not see you?" Ji Xinghuo asked.
Zhou Yishang replied: "Just a few minutes before you were attacked, he left his apartment and never appeared in any surveillance again. ”
This means that no matter whether the ghost wolf assassination is successful or not, Peng Zhenshan is not prepared to continue to lurk.
"He destroyed all the materials before leaving, and they were handled very cleanly, which is the method he learned in the Sword Bureau." Zhou Yishang laughed at himself, "We can't tell which enemy he is undercover, and we don't know if there are other ghosts." ”
Ji Xinghuo also felt tricky.
A senior Chixiao swordsman turned out to be an undercover agent who had been lurking for many years, which was a heavy blow to the Sword Bureau, and there would definitely be multiple rounds of internal self-examination in the future.
But the question at hand is, who is doing it against them?
What are the motives of the enemy?
"Could it be that Qianyuan will ......" Ji Xinghuo groaned, but couldn't be sure, "Or is this just the handiwork of Midland?" ”
"It should be the Qianyuan Society, and the Federal Intelligence Agency is not acting in this style." Zhou Yishang obviously knew something inside, "The ghost wolf is really betraying the Federal Intelligence Agency, it is almost impossible to do things for them, if he can destroy the Federal Intelligence Agency, he will never have any hesitation." ”
Qianyuan Hui......
Ji Xinghuo was helpless, he didn't expect that he would be involved in such a big conspiracy for the first time on a mission.
But now that you're in the middle of it, it's impossible to get out.
"Zhou Ju, what should I do next?"
Zhou Yishang looked at Ji Xinghuo and said slowly: "After discussing with the director and the other two deputy directors, I think that the enemy will not stop here, and it is likely that he will attack you." Therefore, the bureau decided to use you as bait to lure the snake out of the hole. ”
