After the decision, Wu Qiao began to receive training.
Tan Yan would sometimes teach him personally. The various intensive trainings made Wu Qiao feel a little tired, but he had to maintain a high degree of concentration.
The military department seemed quite relieved about letting Wu Qiao go undercover, even though his gene scan results showed a terrible defection rate. Wu Qiao pondered, maybe because as a student, he really doesn't know anything, is it better to join the enemy now than to join the enemy later
The one who reacted the most to this incident was Yajiu.
Tan Yan told Yajiu to be prepared, and if there was an emergency, he would take Yajiu to pick up Wuqiao.
As soon as Ya Jiu saw Wu Qiao, he rushed over: "Wu Qiao!"
Yajiu's face was shiny and shiny, Wu Qiao's eyes were dazzled by it, and his chest was hurt by it.
Ya Jiu asked: "You, are you going to Xianglong's Wing?"
"Yes." Wu Qiao glanced at Tan Yan behind it, "You already know?"
Ya Jiu said very worriedly: "You have to pay attention to safety...!"
"Well, of course."
"Hey..." Ya Jiu said quietly: "If you die, I won't live..."
"..." I really don't know where it learned this sentence.
Wu Qiao hugged Crow Nine and patted its shell.
He thought to himself, if I died, you wouldn't be able to live, but if you come back alive...not necessarily.
That day, after he promised to go to Xianglong's Wing, he asked the Minister of National Defense about Crow Nine. At that time, the other party told him not to worry about it. The military department will definitely give him another chance to prove that he can get "first", and then officially end the course and become a soldier with glory.
"Really..." Yajiu said again, "If you die, I won't live..."
"...I'm not going to die."
"Well," said Crow Nine, "I will wait for you to come back!"
After a pause, it turned around and asked Tan Yan again, "Tonight, Wu Qiao and I will chat and sleep together, okay?"
"Not good." Tan Yan replied immediately without thinking.
"Why?" Ya Jiu seemed to be shocked.
"An eyesore."
"...Hey?" Ya Jiu asked cautiously, "Is it hindering you?"
"Yes." Tan Yan threw out a word coldly.
"Admiral." Wu Qiao said, "Let me and Yajiu get along with each other. Every time we meet, we are in a hurry."
"..."
"Is it ok?"
"... Whatever you want." Tan Yan didn't insist.
Just like that, at night, Ya Jiu squeezed onto Wu Qiao's bed.
The bed is really narrow, and it is a little bit reluctant for one person and one mech.
Crow Nine is a machine, it can't fall asleep at all, but it has to lie down every night. At this moment, with Wu Qiao around, Ya Jiu kept talking.
But Wu Qiao was training during the day, feeling really tired and sleepy, and soon fell into a dream state.
Dazedly, he found that Ya Jiu seemed to have closed his mouth, just staring at himself like that, as if he wanted to remember everything in his heart.
After a while, Wu Qiao felt something "bang" into his arms again.
"What's wrong?" Wu Qiao asked.
"Wu Qiao..." Ya Jiu's voice came muffled, "You must come back alive."
"certainly."
"This is what you promised me."
"I can keep my word."
"Still a little scared..."
"There's nothing wrong. Don't worry about it. It's useless for you to be afraid now. It's not too late to think about it if something happens. If everything goes well, aren't you afraid for nothing?"
Yajiu didn't make another sound.
Although it has a gravity balance device, Wu Qiao still felt that it was a bit heavy, so he tapped on its shell lightly to let Yajiu let him go a little bit, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep again.
The next day, Ya Jiu was taken back, and the letter from Aquash that Wu Qiao had been waiting for finally arrived.
This time, it's not an email, but a real personal message.
There was some problem with the air conditioner in the hospital, so the military department hired a special person to enter the hospital for repairs. Then, suddenly, a man wearing a repairman's clothes and a mask flashed into Wu Qiao's room, and then threw a small communication device to Wu Qiao.
When watching this scene, what Wu Qiao thought in his heart was: What was destined to happen finally came, but he didn't expect it to be in this way.
"If you want to know more," the other party said, "call the only number inside."
"..."
After that person left, Wu Qiao contacted Tan Yan.
"As expected, he still wants to win you over," Tan Yan said.
"... Mmm." Actually, Wu Qiao was a little surprised that Akwash thought highly of him so much.
He felt vaguely in his heart that it shouldn't be like this, but Wu Qiao couldn't think of anything other than making himself work for them by contacting him.
"Then," Wu Qiao said, "should be about to head over to Xianglong's Wings."
"I think so."
"Then I'll dial that number tonight."
"Ok."
"Probably soon...will leave."
"...Wu Qiao," Tan Yan opened his mouth again after hesitating, "I...you..."
"...?"
"I mean... you... take care of yourself."
"Will do."
"Also, I'm here. Don't be afraid when things happen, I'm here."
Wu Qiao raised his head and looked at Tan Yan. Under the light, there seemed to be something hard to pinpoint in the other party's eyes.
"Thank you..." Wu Qiao replied softly, "If anything happens, I will definitely find you."
Then, Tan Yan paused, and tried again: "I..."
"how?"
"The button I gave you earlier..."
"...?"
"You can't take it with you."
"Of course." If you go with a button of a five-star general of the empire, it is very likely that it will be exposed, although Wu Qiao has been taking it as a lucky thing recently.
"So..." Tan Yan stretched out his hand with something hanging on it.
It was a ring, a ring worn on a chain.
"This is...?" Wu Qiao asked.
"Didn't you say before that there is a superstition over there that you can borrow a little bit of that person's strength by using a certain person's pen, ink, sword, etc."
"right."
"This... is what I have been following me since I was a child."
"Ok?"
"Although I won't carry it on my body, it is indeed very small. I think it will be more useful than that button."
"..."
"It was given to my mother by my father when she was in the army. The stone on it was very hard and once saved her life. She used this ring to carve a mark at that time. It was a real lucky thing. Later, my mother was discharged safely and my father gave it to her A new ring, this one was passed on to me who always wanted to enlist."
"..." Wu Qiao looked at the ring. The ring shone softly, and it was different from anything Wu Qiao had seen before.
"You can hold it. Of course, it means holding it temporarily."
"..." Wu Qiao knew that this ring was very precious, and it also had a special meaning to Tan Yan. If it was lost, he couldn't even pay for it.
So, he said: "Admiral, this... I can't accept it."
