Chapter 69: It’s always better to be prepared!
Jiang Hongyi wanted to tell her about the interrogation, but seeing that she was so concerned about him, he didn't speak first.
"Look, your desk can't be against the window. The back of your desk seat should be against the wall so that you can sit comfortably."
"Also, your desk is so empty and lifeless. When I have time, I'll go to the market and buy you a jade qilin or a dragon bone to put on your desk to add a little greenery."
"Oh right..."
When Qi Xu wanted to continue chattering, Jiang Hongyi gently placed his finger on his mouth, and Qi Xu quieted down in a second.
There was someone's finger on her mouth, the rough texture was slightly warm, and even sent a tingling sensation through her lips.
Her mind went blank for several seconds, and she took a big step back, trying to put some distance between them, but she tripped over her left foot and lost her balance.
Jiang Hongyi was quick-witted and quick-handed. When she was about to fall to the ground, he grabbed her waist with his left hand in time.
"careful."
Qi Xu felt that he had embarrassed himself, and his entire neck and forehead turned red.
He closed his eyes and nodded hurriedly.
"Come here, let's first discuss why Country R would set its sights on our Jingbin Island."
Jiang Hongyi's eyes were gentle as water as he pulled Qi Xu, whose face was blushing but eyes were still closed, to the side of the desk.
After sitting on the bench, she felt that it was impolite to chat without opening her eyes, so she half-closed her eyes and looked at Jiang Hongyi through the gaps between her eyelashes, but saw that he did not react much.
Just go for it, it's embarrassing, no big deal, they're family after all.
Wait! He! When did he become family in her eyes?
Qi Xu shook his head, forcing himself to shake off the inappropriate thoughts, and calmed himself down, "Okay."
He nodded firmly while speaking, as if trying to convince himself.
Sure enough, after Jiang Hongyi started talking about the results of the interrogation in Country R, she fell into deep thought.
"That means the spiritual spring is indeed useful to their so-called leader."
"So it is the right choice for us to protect the spiritual spring as soon as possible."
"However, now that the Spirit Spring matter is known to everyone, I'm afraid I'll have to add an additional confusing formation later on."
The first thing Qi Xu thought of was that not only should the R countrymen be unable to find the spiritual spring, but also the team, especially the head of the art troupe, should be unable to find the location of the spiritual spring.
"I agree with this. We can't be sure whether they are friends or foes, so protecting them immediately is the best option."
Jiang Hongyi agreed with her idea very much. After the two separated, Qi Xu went straight to the halfway point of the mountain again.
Before going up the mountain this time, she paid special attention to whether there was a little tail behind her.
After turning left and right and passing through many alleys, she finally entered the family compound. She stayed in her own courtyard for a long time and then quietly came out through the gate.
She didn't take the original route to the spiritual spring, just in case she had to find another way.
She breathed a sigh of relief only when she reached the spiritual spring and saw the peaceful surroundings.
Not daring to delay any longer, she rested for three breaths, then began to concentrate her mental energy and began to move her palms up and down to form seals, muttering something.
A flash of light passed by, and the spiritual spring and the glittering elements around it disappeared, leaving their original locations empty.
She was still not at ease, so she drew another hiding formation around it, hiding the original Five Thunder Formation.
Looking at the area in front of him where there was no other spiritual energy except flowers, plants and trees, Qi Xu clapped his hands and turned around gracefully.
She guaranteed that with these three or four levels of formations, few ordinary people could find this place.
After returning home leisurely, she pushed the door open and saw Jiang Hongyi playing with sandbags that he got from somewhere with Chang Shunan and the little wolf cub.
Jiang Hongyi and Chang Shunan, one big and one small, stood at one end of the yard and the other at the other end. The little wolf cub stared at the sandbags in their hands and ran left and right.
At that moment, she felt that she really had the atmosphere of home.
Qi Hong was still smoking his old pipe on the steps under the eaves as usual, staring at the adults and children running around in the yard with a smile on his face.
She also noticed that the lights in the yard had been replaced with brighter ones.
It goes without saying that this was a new one from Jiang Hongyi.
Tsk tsk tsk, there is still life in this man's eyes.
All in all, they had been together for almost sixty days.
The overall feeling is pretty good. Whether it is from his character, the way he deals with people, or the way he respects others, this person is much more reliable than others.
Qi Xu was thinking about all sorts of things in his mind and didn't notice that the scale in his heart had unknowingly tilted towards Jiang Hongyi.
"You're back? How's it going?"
"It's taken care of, don't worry."
These two sentences are like an encrypted conversation, making it completely incomprehensible to others.
"We can't detain those R country guys for too long. Tomorrow morning, we'll escort them to R country."
The law does not allow for long-term detention of foreigners who smuggle into the country unless they cause loss of life to Chinese citizens or cause major incidents.
However, the purpose of Lu Tuan asking him to take the lead in escorting them this time was not just to send these R people back safely.
I also want him to discover some other clues.
"Why don't you go and apply to your superiors, and I'll go with you."
"One more thing. I suggest you apply to join a special unit to protect the safety of your comrades."
As they were talking, they moved to the master bedroom.
"Okay, I'll apply early tomorrow morning. I hope it'll be approved in time when I'm escorted there."
The next day, just in case, Qi Xu prepared the tools he could carry with him after he left.
The cloth bag I bought at the market came in handy now.
She sewed an inconspicuous layer inside, which was very hidden and could not be seen by anyone other than a Taoist.
The reason why she made such a suggestion yesterday was also due to her sixth sense. Since the people from Country R have already turned their attention to the island, it indirectly proves that the leader they are talking about has practiced some unspeakable secret technique.
No matter what, we still have to take precautions before it happens. It is always good to be more mentally prepared.
After finishing breakfast, Qi Xu made some calculations and decided that this trip was a must.
Therefore, she not only told Chang Shunan not to go out and play in the near future, but also told Qi Hong not to let Chang Shunan stay alone unless necessary.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
“Bang, bang, bang!”
"Is Sister Jiang here? Battalion Commander Jiang asked me to ask you to gather at the military district."
Suddenly, a young comrade knocked on the door and shouted twice.
Qi Xu didn't dare to delay. He responded and went back to the house, picked up the cloth bag, opened the door, waved to his family, turned around and left with the young comrade.
When she arrived at the military area, everyone had gathered. She also saw that there was a middle-aged man beside Jiang Hongyi whom she had never seen before. At first glance, he seemed to have some ability.
