Anlong was shocked, why is this happening? ! Logically speaking, Noga and East were not hostile. Even if they wanted to attack spies from other countries, it would be after Prince Mario came to power. Which country has not sent spies to other countries? Usually even if foreign spies are caught, if they are not from the enemy country, the most they can do is torture them out of the country, or exchange them for captured national personnel. It makes no sense to wipe out all the intelligence stations like this.
Since Veronica was still in a coma, he clung to the businessman and refused to let go, asking what happened. The businessman said reluctantly: "I have been doing grain trading between Maicheng and Mayton for many years. I am a businessman. I don't know anything else. This girl took our ride to Maicheng to visit relatives. , walked for two days and suddenly came back covered in blood. We were all frightened to death. We just heard the girl talking about the security agency, so we brought her back. But we took a big risk. We didn’t do anything else. have no idea."
"Did she never wake up? How did you know about me? Where did you rescue her? If everyone in the intelligence station is dead, didn't you hear anything in Maicheng?" An Long kept saying Ask. But the businessman just kept saying that he didn't know anything and was anxious to leave.
"Old John, is it you?" Xiao Tianjian walked into the hall silently, staring at the businessman, "It is indeed you. You are such a bastard, saying you don't know? Who are you lying to? Hurry up and get things done. Tell it, this girl is a niece of mine. For the sake of our old friendship, tell everything." He reached out and held one of Veronica's hands, and after losing some energy, Veron said Nika's pale face finally had some blood. Anlong looked at his movements and opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.
"What the hell, it's an immortal like you, how could I save your niece?" Old John muttered a few words, sat on the sofa in frustration, and told everything he knew, "I We couldn’t figure out what was going on. There were usually a lot of people taking our ride to Maicheng, but we had never seen this girl. She was wearing men’s clothes and said she was going to visit relatives, so we didn’t say anything. When we arrived in Maicheng She left the city, but within two days she broke into the courtyard where we lived, covered in blood, and asked us to send her to Anlon Kado in Qedon. She also said that all their people were dead, so It was a trap, there was a traitor or something, and then he fainted and never woke up." He glanced at An Long: "You are secret agents of the Security Agency, right? Did something big happen?"
Xiao Tianjian glanced at his son, his face became even gloomier. Anlong changed his mind and put aside Old John's question: "The market had just ended at that time, right? That was all seven or eight days ago. Have you been in Maicheng these days?"
"Of course. She was seriously injured at that time, and there were Noga soldiers searching nearby, saying they wanted to catch some robbers. What the hell, what kind of trouble did this girl get into?! We were afraid that she was really from the Security Agency. It was something important, so we had to hide her and try our best to get her medicine, but the effect was not very good. It was very windy outside, so we didn't dare to go out. We only heard that three or four people died in a grocery store. A robber did it. I’m so scared, this girl couldn’t really kill someone, could she?”
An Long coughed lightly: "The people in that store are all our companions, Veronica will not kill them." Old John said "Oh" and glanced at Xiao Tianjian: "The people who searched two days ago have arrived We went elsewhere, so we secretly hid the child in the mezzanine of the carriage and took her back to Mayton. What a hell, do you know that I delayed my business for a few days? What a loss, what a loss!"
Xiao Tianjian threw the bag of things over in annoyance: "This is considered to compensate for your losses, is that enough?" Old John opened it and saw that it was a bag full of gold coins. He grinned and said, "That's enough. That's enough." Yes, you are still so generous." He stuffed the gold coins into his arms and hid them, and glanced at the two people in front of him: "That's all I know, can you go? I don't want to deal with any spies and let people If you know that I have entanglements with them, you will never want to do business in Maicheng in this life."
An Long nodded silently, and Xiao Tianjian simply waved him away. He didn't care and left with a smile.
After Old John left, Anlong was busy making arrangements to put Veronica in place. He was worried because there were no more empty rooms in the house when Xiao Tianjian suddenly said, "Send her to Ming Na's room and let Ming Na sleep with the nanny." An Long thought for a while and called his daughter up.
Ming Na was sleeping in a daze, and when she was half asleep and half awake, her father sent her to the fat nanny. Winnie looked at Anlong troubledly and asked what was going on. Anlong only said that there were guests at home and there was no place to rest, so he left his daughter to her.
By this time Dora had woken up and stood at the door of the room asking her husband what happened. Anlong pushed her back to the room and said, "Nothing happened. You can go back to sleep." Then he closed the door and went back downstairs.
After settling Veronica, Anlong felt relieved when he saw that the energy his father had put into her body had an effect. He found two pills given by his father that could quickly replenish energy and fed her one. Xiao Tianjian looked at his son's movements and suddenly asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
Anlong's hands trembled, he hesitated for a moment, and then confessed: "As you can see, Veronica and I are both from the Security Agency. She is from the Ito City headquarters, and this time she was just ordered to investigate the news. , I used the identity of a knight to hide in Qidun, responsible for supervising the armaments station, and sometimes helping as a spy."
Xiao Tianjian's face was ugly: "So, he is a grassroots employee? Do you know that this is a very dangerous thing? Why do you want to join the Security Agency? I never thought that my son would become a spy! And he also does it part-time Jinyiwei?! It doesn’t matter if you like doing business, being an official, or joining the army, but why do you want to do this kind of job?!"
Anlong didn't understand what Jin Yiwei meant. He noticed a trace of disgust flashing in his father's eyes and said with some astonishment: "Aren't you the founder of the Security Agency? You also said that information is everything. Only by having the fastest and latest intelligence can we Be invincible in the war. Although sometimes the Security Agency's actions are not fair, it can effectively attack the enemy and reduce casualties in the war. These are the words you left. Do you hate what you created? Institution?"
Xiao Tianjian was at a loss for words for a moment, but he still said: "No matter how high-sounding you say it, I just don't like you doing this kind of work. If it's a civilian job at the Yidong headquarters, why do you have to be a grassroots operative at the border? Is it because of this? In my name, can’t I get you a better position? Your brother is now the assistant director of the Finance Department, and it is more than enough for you to be the leader of the action team in the Security Department."
It was okay if he didn't say it. When he said it, Anlong's face darkened: "In your name? Why? I have never been recognized by the 'Xiao family'. I am just the adopted son of the Ka family. It would be good to be able to stand alone in Qidun."
Xiao Tianjian was dumbfounded. This was indeed his negligence. He glanced at his son and sighed: "In any case, this job is still too dangerous. It would be fine if it was just in Qidun, but you originally planned to have sex with Veroni this time. Were you going to Maicheng with Ka? Fortunately, you didn’t make it! Otherwise, what if something happened to you and your wife and children were called?!”
After hearing what he said, Anlong felt relieved for some reason: "Don't worry, I won't get into trouble so easily. My swordsmanship is better than many people, and I'm not stupid either. This time Wei Ronika was in danger when she went alone. If I had gone with her, I might have escaped long ago." Thinking of this, he felt extremely guilty again, and was silent for a while before continuing: "No matter what After all, I am a member of East and I should do my part for the country.”
Xiao Tianjian looked at his son's firm expression in silence, sighed, patted his shoulder and said: "Okay, I won't stop you, but you have to remember that no matter what happens, you must put your own safety first. When in danger, you must run away as soon as possible." He secretly decided to teach his son more swordsmanship, and by the way, he also taught him Qinggong for escaping.
Anlong just smiled, but he didn't think so in his heart. His father actually taught him to escape when he encountered danger? What is the difference between this and being a coward
Xiao Tianjian took out a precious herb from his storage ring, mashed it and applied it to Veronica's wound. It seemed to have some effect. However, in order to let her get better treatment, Xiao Cheng was treated the next day. The only doctor in the house quietly invited him over. The old doctor treated the patient for a long time and thought that the room here was not suitable for the injured to recuperate. It was best to move it to his clinic so that he could take care of him nearby. So Xiao Tianjian used some method to fix Veronica's body, and quietly sent her to the clinic with his son.
When they do these things, they hide it from others, fearing that the news will leak out and cause unnecessary speculation by others. But because they were worried about Veronica's injury, they visited the clinic from time to time, which still aroused Dora and Winnie's speculation. Dora had made inquiries, but when her husband insisted on refusing to tell, she became suspicious.
Ming Na has been very depressed recently. She found that her father and grandfather no longer have time to play with her. She doesn't know what she is busy with outside every day. Even if she occasionally has time to guide her in martial arts, she is always absent-minded. Moreover, her new bed sheets and The quilt was gone, and she had only slept for two nights. She couldn't help complaining in front of her mother. As a result, Dora was only trying on the newly made dress and was busy preparing for the May Day dance. She told her to go and play by herself. She had to hide in the kitchen and ask the old housekeeper Marshall. Vomiting bitterly.
Marshall listened to her words quietly and smiled: "The young master and the earl are doing business. They don't let you know because you are still a child and can't help. In this case, you should do your best. Don't let them worry about you."
Ming Na was a little unconvinced and said: "I am not a child anymore! I have learned swordsmanship and Qinggong. I am very useful. If my father and grandfather don't tell me, how do they know that I can't help?"
Marshall smiled: "You're far from capable, little Mingna, be obedient and don't make the adults angry."
Ming Na pouted and reluctantly agreed, but she was still a little unwilling in her heart and wanted to know what secrets her father and grandfather had.
Two days later, after careful diagnosis and treatment, Veronica finally woke up. Although she was still very weak and unable to move, she had no problem speaking. After receiving the news, Anlong and Xiao Tianjian rushed to the clinic as soon as possible. Veronica was a little surprised when she saw the latter, but said nothing when she heard him take out herbs to treat her injuries.
Anlong dismissed the doctors and nurses and asked about the truth about Maicheng. She gritted her teeth and said: "Our people have been discovered! Nomengka specially sent people over, bringing soldiers from Maicheng to search and suppress. The people from the intelligence station hurriedly evacuated the grocery store, that brat from Gama, said Knowing a safe place, he took everyone to his mistress's house, but was betrayed by the woman and almost everyone was killed. Gama was injured and escaped and hid, so there was no news. When I passed , Noga's people set a trap to ambush me in the grocery store. I met Gama on the way to escape and found out the truth. But he was too seriously injured and died that night."
When she said this, her eyes turned red: "This hypocritical playboy really fell for a woman! He actually thought that his charm was so great that he could make Nuojia's woman faint! He didn't even think about it. His own identity was If she's not clean, how can she guarantee that that woman is reliable?!" She glanced at Xiao Tianjian, "He admires Lord Xiao the most in his life, and he said he would follow your lead in everything, but it's a pity that he's not as capable as you, and he got himself killed instead."
Xiao Tianjian touched his nose and said nothing.
Anlong frowned and said: "There is no reason for this? Why did Nuojia want to kill everyone like this? Although the relationship between the two countries cannot be said to be good, there is no hostility. And I heard from the businessman who sent you back that they claimed to be arresting bandits. . Just say it clearly if you want to catch the spies, why do you have to make excuses? I don’t believe it. Noga is not afraid that if we find out, we will take revenge on the people they sent to East. "
