Jiang Hui and August looked at each other somewhat awkwardly. The two people, who came from different professions and ages, actually developed a very subtle feeling because of their strange synchronicity at the moment.
But since they had already shouted like that, they had to continue even if it meant gritted their teeth. The two parties tacitly met their respective "contact persons".
Jiang Hui naturally talked with Zhou Xiuwen and Huan Xian, while the other two adults gathered together. As for the other soldiers, they were all separated by a distance to give the superiors enough space to talk.
Jiang Hui, who was meeting her friends over there, finally breathed a sigh of relief. She just glanced over there a few times and then looked away: "Why are you here?" she asked again.
In fact, she wanted to ask if everything had been handled, but then she felt that asking this question was nonsense and might involve some sensitive topics, so when it came to her mouth, it turned into this useless question.
Fortunately, the two of them didn't care about Jiang Hui's words. Zhou Xiuwen nodded calmly and said, "There's nothing going on over there."
It seems that the chaotic battle over there has ended, otherwise the two of them and... would not appear here together.
Although this matter had nothing to do with her, Jiang Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the guy who caused this tragedy had been dealt with: "So you two are not injured?"
It would have been better if he didn't say anything. Speaking of this, Zhou Xiuwen, who usually seemed very amiable, said unhappily: "... You still said that I should be the one asking you. You know you almost scared us to death before."
Jiang Hui:
"I didn't ask you to—" The other party seemed to blurt out a name, but he paused and lowered his voice as if he thought of something, and then he continued naturally: "… Send you out? How did it become like that?"
Not only did the two of them not get out, they fell behind and ran around everywhere. By chance, they were swept into the central battle zone and were almost crushed to death by the enemy's mecha.
If Zong Ting hadn't reacted quickly and rescued them, not only Angel but his two friends would have lost their lives today.
This is hard to explain in a few words. Along with her words, Jiang Hui also made an expression that matched her words very well. It was so bitter that it made people feel uncomfortable just by looking at it.
Compared to August, who he was not familiar with, it was easier for him to open up to Zhou Xiuwen and Huan Xian. Jiang Hui had been holding back for a long time, and couldn't help but vent about the bizarre things he encountered on the scene, not noticing that the two adults who seemed to be having a serious conversation on the other side were also listening to their conversation intentionally or unintentionally.
However, their emphasis is slightly different.
After a brief reminisce about the past, the atmosphere between the two military young men who were acquainted with each other was relatively peaceful, or it should be said that it was stable and cool.
Colonel Zong, Zong Ting, a member of the Zong family in the capital. August knew him before, but they had never formally dealt with each other. He had heard a lot of his legendary experiences. Of course, parallel to this was the other party's extremely complicated family background, which was not convenient to talk about.
Augustus Clarence is also one of the best of the younger generation in the capital. He has many commendable deeds and extraordinary achievements in the past.
The two had very few opportunities to meet each other. They belonged to different legions and were at most strangers who knew each other. They did not expect that their real intersection would be under such circumstances.
However, although both of them are outstanding people of the younger generation, there are still some differences between them. After all, their military ranks are different.
If August is a young talent highly praised by all the wealthy families in the capital, and an heir highly favored by all the major military forces, then Zongting can be regarded as a pillar of the military. Although it cannot be called the main pillar, it is not far away, and its existence and significance cannot be underestimated.
Zong Ting no longer needed to rely on the power of his family to gain a foothold in the military. He relied on his own abilities to become independent step by step, and used his life, blood and sweat to win a place for himself.
And although the other party came from one of the top families in the capital, his birthplace was one of the most chaotic among almost all the wealthy and powerful families.
Especially for him, the existence of the family did not give him much strength, but instead brought him a lot of trouble and burden.
But even in such a situation, the opponent still fought his way out of the bloody storm, and now stands upright on a high place, trampling under his feet those who intend to drag him into the quagmire.
Therefore, even though August was born into a noble family, was outstanding, and had an extremely proud heart, he still admired this peer who was only a few years older than him from the bottom of his heart.
Zong Ting didn't think so much. He just responded quietly and calmly, just like his always neat and consistent pace without any flaws.
Although he admired the young Shangguan very much, they were from the same circle after all and had contact with the same environment, so the conversation was much more casual than that with other people.
Moreover, the two of them knew each other well about the mission, and they were able to find out the situation from each other in just a few words.
August was not surprised at all. It seemed that the situation was just as he had guessed before. The capital was busy and there would be chaos for a while.
The young man silently wiped the cold sweat off his father's forehead, then tacitly changed the subject.
He cast his gaze towards the young men who were talking not far away, or rather... towards a young man who looked somewhat familiar.
The other party glanced at him as if he had realized something, then nodded at him generously and returned to the conversation with his companion.
"So... this is Marshal Zhou's son." August asked curiously.
He hadn't seen this person for a long time. He remembered that the last time he saw him was probably at the change of leadership ceremony a few years ago. At that time, he was just a childish kid, wearing a custom-made dress and sitting in the family seat. He looked out of place, but also had a sense of solemnity that seemed a little bit out of place.
I didn't expect that after not seeing him for many years, he has grown into such a big boy. Now when I see him again, he looks a bit like his elder, but I don't know who he looks more like.
Zong Ting didn't know whether it was possible.
"What a nice gesture." August praised in an ambiguous tone, and then quickly looked past the boy on the other side who looked equally strange. But this time his gaze became more restrained and controlled, and he quickly and lightly nodded and then quickly retracted it, as if he was afraid of startling something.
But even so, Huan Xian still noticed it immediately, or rather, he never relaxed. During the long period of silence when he was listening to Jiang Hui and the others' conversation, his nerves were always tense, because the strange gazes from the surroundings made him alert unconsciously.
Augustus noticed it immediately after a quick glance and followed it very sharply.
