Chapter 158: I know I can’t get a wife
Xia Er was being naughty in order to help Si Ming, but he was also worried that he might have gone too far with the teasing. Seeing Ye Jiaojiao keeping her head down and not saying anything, he cleared his throat and got down to business: "Actually, I didn't tell you everything last time. Si Ming's mission this time will indeed take some time. I estimate that he should have just arrived at the border."
border?
So Si Ming actually went to the border of the empire?
Are we going to go to war with the Federation or the Zerg?
That Siming
Thinking of the identity of the Major General of the Siming Empire, Ye Jiaojiao's face suddenly turned pale.
No wonder the elder brother always says that the light of righteousness often has no good end.
I would rather not have fame and be selfish.
I just want to keep everyone safe.
Charles: "I can't say much about the details, but this mission isn't very dangerous, so don't worry. I'll try to contact Si Ming later. If possible, I'll ask him to let you know he's safe."
From Ye Jiaojiao's reaction, Xia Er guessed that she might have misunderstood. However, he did know that there should be no danger for Si Ming on this trip, so he said a few more words and did not forget to create a sweet little opportunity for his brother.
Given Ye Jiaojiao's naive and uninformed nature, Xia Er had expected him to offer some advice, but Ye Jiaojiao agreed immediately. "Thank you, Xia Er. If you have any news about Si Ming, please let me know."
-
Facing the two opposing sides of the Empire's border, one is the Federation and the other is the Zerg.
There is a large no-man's land where the three parties intersect.
That area is the default exile zone and also the darkest place.
Some abandoned children from wealthy families were thrown here, while others were given a new life here.
Just as Charles estimated, Si Ming was temporarily unable to communicate with the outside world after being packed up and thrown onto the warship. He just arrived at the border last night.
This time, his mission was not complicated. It mainly involved detecting traces of Federation and Zerg activities within the imperial territory within the border.
According to reports received by the military, it seems that someone is stirring up trouble again under the muddy waters that have finally calmed down for hundreds of years.
Recently, a number of suspicious individuals have appeared within the empire, suspected of being in contact with several unknown forces.
Of course, these activities were carried out in secret.
The reason why the Empire was able to obtain relevant intelligence was because of the feedback from the undercover agents sent by the Empire to the Federation.
Now what Si Ming and others need to do is to figure out all of this.
The Fifth Army Squadron led by Si Ming is a reinforcement force and needs to cooperate with the border guards of the Second Corps to conduct inspections.
The scope is divided into several habitable planets from the no-man's land to the border.
Since they arrived at night, Si Ming was not in a hurry to issue tasks.
The next morning, after reuniting with the defenders of the Second Legion, Si Ming met Lieutenant General Rex, who was in charge of guarding the border every ten years.
Lieutenant General Rex is a veteran of the Second Legion.
In recent years, the outside world has been rumored that the Second Legion and the Fifth Legion are at odds, because the two legions are constantly competing for new recruits. Whenever there is a mission or competition involving officers from these two legions, the two sides will fight particularly fiercely.
In fact, the Second Legion is the most powerful and has a better overall reputation besides the Fifth Legion, and the relationship between the two sides can be considered harmonious.
Vice Admiral Rex was a little surprised when he saw Si Ming. When he heard that Si Ming was thrown directly onto the warship, he started to laugh at him in front of Si Ming: "You got into trouble, didn't you? Otherwise, your old man wouldn't have thrown you here, right? You deserve it!"
Lieutenant General Rex is several times older than Si Ming, but he is always defeated by Si Ming. Seeing that the child he has watched grow up has climbed to the rank of major general so quickly and is about to catch up with him, Rex is very angry.
It was a rare opportunity to mock Si Ming, so Rex naturally wouldn't let it go.
As for Si Ming, he was already sulking because he was stuffed directly onto the warship without being able to explain to Ye Jiaojiao. He had been bothering Ning Yuan's subordinates along the way, and he was almost arranging special training for them 24 hours a day without sleep.
Now, after Rex mocked him like this, Si Ming still hadn't responded. Ning Yuan, who was following behind Si Ming, felt his legs go weak and stumbled. "Lieutenant General Rex, it's getting late. Let's have a meeting first."
Ning Yuan's face looked really bad. Rex's adjutant glanced at Ning Yuan and felt a sense of sympathy for him. He wanted to help, so he stepped forward and came to Rex's side to remind him, "Lieutenant General, it's time. It's not good to be late."
"Okay, let's have a meeting." Si Ming remained motionless, and Rex lost interest in joking. He led the group to the war room. Seeing that no one had arrived yet, he couldn't help but say something rude: "Si family boy, are you still single?"
Si Ming was a major general. Rex was the only one present who had a higher rank than him. He sat next to Rex. When he heard Rex's question, he turned his head to the side, very coldly, making it difficult to understand what he was thinking. However, Rex understood his doubts.
"I guessed. After all, you can tell you won't be able to find a wife." Rex said this infuriatingly, and then he showed off: "You know that unfilial son of mine, right? I'm going to be a grandfather so soon, and I'm not ready yet. I'm going to teach him a lesson when I get back."
Si·Can't get a wife·Ming: "." How nice it would be if I didn't have to go to military court to beat up my superiors -
Si Ming brought S-level low pressure to the Second Army for a meeting. When he returned, the S-level low pressure had soared to 3S level. Ning Yuan and others were really miserable.
After Si Ming finished assigning the task, everyone quickly left.
Not to mention saving trouble, they really want to do it themselves and carry out the mission instead of those soldiers.
In the war room.
Siming was left alone, with a sullen face. He suppressed his inner irritation and flipped through the documents in his hand, preparing to divide the Fifth Army's next search area.
At this moment, a top-level key was sent to his light brain.
The next second, without his confirmation, a video call was successfully connected.
Charles' virtual figure appeared directly on Si Ming's computer.
After finishing the call with Ye Jiaojiao, Charles thought for a while and felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy.
If he doesn't take more initiative, his good brother will easily end up alone.
So, he contacted Si Ming through the authority of the director of the Imperial Research Institute.
"Hi~~~ My good brother~~~ Did you miss me?" Xia Er waved enthusiastically to Si Ming, and then the other party gave him a cold expression: "Hey! You don't seem to be in a very good mood?"
Facing Xia Er's teasing, Si Ming was surprisingly calm. He didn't even glance at him and raised his hand to cut off the call. Xia immediately stopped talking: "Ms. Ye! Ye Jiaojiao! She came to see me! She wanted to ask about you!"
"Go on." The fingers hanging by his side moved slightly. Si Ming's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he gave Charles a look of mercy.
Charles secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly told Si Ming about his conversation with Ye Jiaojiao. During the conversation, the matchmaker became distracted and deliberately exaggerated Ye Jiaojiao's worries about Si Ming.
Among the three truths was a sentence of encouragement to Si Ming, encouraging him to report his safety to Ye Jiaojiao.
Si Ming remained silent for a long while after listening to this. It was only until the second before the communication was cut off that Xia Er heard a very soft whisper: "I understand."
