    Chapter 84 Falling into the Sun (3)

    "..."

    Cold sweat fell from the nose of Duke's staff, and he saw the eyes of the young man in front of him... the eyes that were always calm and deep.

    He realized that he was wrong. This young master doesn't seem to be a good-looking young master, but a sharp sword that is thirsty for blood, a black fox that is dormant and waiting for its prey... Maybe from the moment the group meeting was held , This kid is waiting for the opportunity to stand up, and he is the rabbit who took the initiative to hit the muzzle, the chicken who kills the chicken and warns the monkey!

    "Please answer me." Jiang Jianming stood in front of him.

    Duke's Adam's apple wriggled, and the beads of sweat on his forehead became denser.

    He bowed his head reluctantly and said, "No."

    "very good."

    Jiang Jianming tapped the table with his index finger, and said indifferently: "It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders—this sentence, go back and copy it twenty times, and give it to me tomorrow."

    "Copy...!?" Staff Officer Duke raised his face suddenly, almost staring out a pair of beads.

    Copy it twenty times! ?

    He can't wait to doubt his ears, did this kid just come out of the school after taking the little kid out of it! ?

    There were several murmurs of laughter in the conference room.

    Lieutenant General Luther coughed hard, and the surroundings fell silent.

    "Your Excellency Inspector, I have heard the commander-in-chief mention you."

    The veteran stood up and swept his eyes over Jiang Jianming solemnly, "The commander-in-chief said that you are someone who has been appreciated by His Royal Highness the old crown prince. I am very curious."

    "It is said that you were good at tactical strategy when you were in the military school... There is a simulated countermeasure machine in the building of Jin Ilun. How about a game with me?"

    The old lieutenant general Luther pointed to the Jin Ilun military emblem on his chest, "I don't need you to win, as long as I persist for 20 minutes, all the Jin Ilun officers will recognize your ability."

    Jiang Jianming lowered his head and smiled.

    "Sorry, I'm very excited about this opportunity to be fortunate to have the general's guidance, but I can't accept this challenge at this moment."

    There was a sigh in the meeting room.

    Old Lieutenant General Luther frowned: "Why?"

    "Because I judged that this game would be of no use."

    "Old General, I'm here to monitor the internal military discipline of Jin Ilun, not to be your battlefield commander. If I lose, I will lose my prestige, which is not conducive to my next operations."

    "And if you lose," Jiang Jianming said indifferently, his eyes sank, "the one who loses his prestige will become you. After I finish dealing with my affairs and leave the Golden Sun Wheel... Lieutenant General Luther, May I ask how you can control it?"

    "You!" A lieutenant was furious and slapped the case.

    "—Please understand one thing." Jiang Jianming's expression was slightly cold, and he raised his hand and pressed it down, and for a while, the other party was so shocked that he dared not speak.

    "It's not that I intend to interfere in your affairs, but that there is a disease in the current Jin Ilun that cannot be dealt with by yourself, so I am here to help you solve the problem."

    "During my tenure, my power is higher than anyone else's. If you don't agree, please go directly to the old marshal to complain."

    "..." Lieutenant General Luther's face was a little ugly, he gave the lieutenant a wink, and the two shut up and sat down together.

    Jiang Jianming: "Anyone else have a problem?"

    There was silence, and some condescending officers bowed their heads reluctantly, and no one made any more provocative words.

    After a while, the old general Luther's face twitched, he slowly touched his chest with his hand, and lowered his head: "...All officers and soldiers of Jin Ilun stationed in Aslan branch, obey the order of Your Excellency the Inspector."

    "Thank you." Jiang Jianming nodded, his eyebrows stretched gently, and the cold aura that had just suppressed the audience instantly vanished.

    He walked back to the stage, looked around, and said unhurriedly, "Then now... let me recognize someone first. Everyone, please introduce yourself for one minute."

    ...

    By the time the group of people came out of the conference room one after another, it was already past lunchtime.

    The officers were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and their eyes were dull, as if they had undergone a brutal mental torture.

    "Damn, this guy actually asked Lao Tzu to introduce himself—"

    Finally, one of the generals broke down and roared, his face full of doubts about the whole world, "Since Lao Tzu was admitted by Jin Ilun twenty years ago, no one has dared to ask Lao Tzu to introduce himself. !"

    The person next to him said with tears in his eyes, "I remembered that this inspector was the one who attended Lord Lance's banquet a few days ago."

    "Pfft, that scene, anyone who has seen it can't forget it."

    "He's really a powerful character? The commander-in-chief sent such a person here. Could it be that there are really worms inside our Golden Sun Wheel?"

    "However," the corners of a dark-skinned middle-aged man's mouth twitched, and it was the lieutenant who slapped the case in anger, "I don't think this kid is crazy normal."

    "Everyone think, no matter how powerful his temporary inspector is, he will only take office on a 'temporary' basis, and one day he will have to leave. But this kid actually doesn't save face in the face of Lieutenant General Lude, isn't he afraid..."

    The lieutenant swept his eyes and lowered his voice, "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to work in the army in the future?"

    A group of people were walking around discussing this, when suddenly, there was a messy sound of footsteps in front!

    "You... who are you talking about!?"

    It was a young man with a pale face, who was not the eldest son of the Brandon family?

    Brandon's eyes were bloodshot, and the muscles on his face twitched: "Who is the inspector sent from above?"

    Several generals looked at each other, each pressed their brows and turned their faces.

    Obviously, they didn't have a good impression of this playboy who was not high in the military rank but who was arrogant in the army because of his family background, but it was inconvenient to scold him bluntly.

    Staff Officer Duke squeezed out of the crowd and pouted at Brandon with a gloomy expression: "Master Brandon, in front of the officers, don't be rude."

    Brandon's eyes flickered, "Advisor Duke, I..."

    After a few seconds, he obviously understood something, shut up, saluted, and stepped back.

    Soon, the officers waved their hands and dispersed, some walked to the elevator and returned to their jobs, some rushed to dinner, and some had finished their day's duty and went straight home.

    There was a lot of people, footsteps and conversations interspersed.

    No one realized that the Duke staff officer was holding the electronic glasses, and the direction of leaving was not any one of the elevator, the cafeteria or the gate, but the corner where Mr. Brandon walked.

    This afternoon, the news of the new interim inspector spread like wildfire inside the Jin Ilun.

    At the same time, Inspector Jiang himself, who had "educated" the senior officers of Jin Ilun, naturally moved out of the military academy dormitory and lived in the dormitory allocated by the military of Jin Ilun.

    "Since the batch of real crystal ore was delivered to the empire, are all the data of Jin Sun Lun's starship base in Aslan here?"

    In the evening, Jiang Jianming was sitting at the desk with the new ration. The virtual screen in front of him was enlarged by him to a size of about forty inches, and a dozen small windows were neatly squeezed into it.

    The window in the upper right corner is a video dialog with Zheng Yue, and the opposite is talking quickly: "It's all here, little sir. In addition to the data of the starship base, I also investigated the information of the civilian starship port. In addition to the largest Beluga star port in the area, there are two civilian starship ports in Aslan, and no abnormalities have been found."

    "This data is too much, so I didn't send it to you."

    Zheng Yue squeezed his military cap hesitantly, "If you want to check it again yourself..."

    "No." Jiang Jianming rubbed his temple with his index finger thoughtfully, "Of course you are more familiar with these starship data than I am. Since it is something that you think is not abnormal, even if you give it to me, I can't see anything. , you decide."

    Zheng Yue's heart was hot: "Yes...!"

    Life is so magical, if someone told him a week ago that a young man in his twenties would bring him a sense of pride in being trusted, Zheng Yue would definitely laugh at him on the spot.

    But at this moment, Zheng Yue only felt that he was full of energy, and immediately straightened his waist again.

    "Little Excellency, I also sent someone to investigate other open areas in Aslan Star City where starships can land, and it will take two days to receive the result."

    But just after he finished speaking, he himself shook his head with a wry smile, "Hey, but looking at this situation, there is not much hope."

    "Well..." Jiang Jianming was silent, his eyes bright and dark.

    A starship... that is an imperial military starship, not a wild dog alone, and it will never disappear out of thin air.

    But now there is no record.

    Where can it go?

    Zheng Yue: "Look, do you still want to start with Duke?"

    "Wait a little longer, if you don't get conclusive evidence, it's inconvenient to do anything, maybe you will be bitten back and slandered."

    Jiang Jianming frowned and thought to himself: At this point, the other party is afraid not only using power and money, but also some underhand tricks.

    If you want to find something faster, you may have to think outside the box.

    "That's it, Old Zheng."

    Jiang Jianming closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up, "Let's contact the airport in Alborn Star City first to see if the starship has returned on time."

    "It's not too early today. After you check it out, send me the results, and then go to sleep first."

    "Yes!" Zheng Yue saluted.

    After a few seconds, the communication window went dark.

    Jiang Jianming was still sitting in front of the table. He didn't even look at the data on the screen, he was just dazed.

    His physical strength was not good in the first place. Although the intensity of this work is still far from that of the Yin Beidou machine armor, the busyness and high concentration of the whole day are also solid.

    When the fatigue rushed up, really wanted to roll into bed and paralyzed into mud, close eyes and talk about it tomorrow.

    After about five minutes, Jiang Jianming stood up, made himself a cup of coffee, loosened the collar of his military uniform, and sat back in front of the chair.

    ...Unfortunately, there is no free time to relax, and the work still has to be done.

    Time passed with the darkening night, minute by minute, and the lights in the first district of Aslan Star City were beginning to come on, and the breeze was breezy.

    In the middle of the night, the lit windows went dark.

    At three in the morning, the streets were silent. The window of the senior officer's dormitory of Jin Ilun was the only one that remained lit.

    until a certain moment...

    There was a sound of sand, and someone leaped silently from the roof, clambering on the window with one hand, and his boots on the narrow sill.

    Boom!

    The palms slapped the window glass quickly.

    "Who!?"

    Jiang Jianming, who fell asleep in front of the table, woke up suddenly. In the middle of the night, someone smashed the window, and his heart almost jumped into his throat.

    He turned around subconsciously, and the palm of his right hand had already touched the holster on his waist—

    Then stiffened for a second, the whole person softened and fell back on the chair.

    Looking at the pair of emerald eyes that were hidden in the darkness, Jiang Jianming couldn't help laughing and crying: "Your Highness! Why are you knocking on my window in the middle of the night?"

    "……you."

    Garcia's face was cold, staring straight at Jiang Jianming, the corners of his lips tightened: "I told you not to go to the front line, so you entered the Golden Sun Wheel?"

    After he said this, his expression became even more ugly.

    But it seems that he also knows that he has no position to intervene in Jiang Jianming's affairs, and he can't say more.

    "I was originally a military cadet, Your Highness."

    Jiang Jianming walked to the window, his index finger touched the opposite side of Garcia's palm intentionally or unintentionally, and the body temperature of the two was only separated by a layer of glass.

    "Being able to enter the Golden Sun Wheel is an honor for most military cadets in the empire."

    "..."

    After a few seconds, Garcia turned away coldly.

    He kicked the edge of the window: "...Open the window and give you something."

    Jiang Jianming opened the window obediently.

    But when the night wind came in, the hand he pushed open the window was suddenly caught by Garcia.

    The prince grabbed his forearm and quickly put a silver-white bracelet on his wrist. The system was so familiar—

    Jiang Jianming's eyelashes trembled.

    "...Xuejiu."

    "Look, though I'm definitely not going to fall in love with you like Ryan."

    Garcia leisurely withdrew his hand and coughed lightly.

    He turned to the side of the window, looked down at the scattered street lights in the city, and said in a slow tone, "But..."

    "Since the secret may involve me, of course I also want to know."

    Garcia said softly: "As long as you agree to that deal, we are allies."

    No more quarreling, His Highness thought to himself.

    He said something outrageous that night. That wasn't his original intention, he just wanted to... force Jiang Jianming to stop this moth-to-fire chase.

    But some of these words are still too hurtful.

    There was no sound for a long time.

    Garcia glanced over quietly.

    Jiang Jianming stood at the window in a daze, his eyes a little blank.

    "Mecha."

    "Folding mecha." He read twice.

    This is it!

    The next moment, Jiang Jianming took three steps and took two steps, rushed back to the desk and opened the virtual screen!

    A shudder like an electric shock rushed up his spine, his breathing was slightly rapid, and his lips pursed sharply——

    Why can't find the starship landing record?

    if……

    What if the starship hadn't landed in the first place! ?

    On the opposite side, Zheng Yue's communication was quickly connected.

    "—Maybe it's a folding mecha!"

    Jiang Jianming's voice was tense, and he didn't even bother to explain the cause and effect: "As long as a large number of foldable mechas are pre-loaded in the starship, and all the real crystal mines are transported in batches in mid-air, you can avoid landing on the starship port! "

    But something strange happened.

    On the opposite side, Major Zheng Yue, who has always been very reliable, gradually showed a kind of blank expression.

    Translated in words, it is "Is this Laozi not awake?" and "What kind of dream did Laozi have?".

    Behind him, there was a soft sound of someone stepping on the window floor.

    Garcia sneered through gritted teeth: "Jiang, see, Ming—"

    "……what."

    Jiang Jianming blinked, only to feel that his feet were light, and at the same time there was something around his waist...

    He was directly... picked up by His Highness' crystal bone.

    "—Is this what you are busy with? Is the opposite side your new subordinate after Xie Yuduo?"

    The crystal bones quickly gathered, and Garcia grabbed the person with both hands instead: "Jiang Jianming, where you go to work is your freedom, but now at three o'clock in the morning, do you think you have the physique to stay up late to work!?"

    "Your Highness... Your Highness!" Jiang Jianming was startled, angry and funny, and he fluttered and reached out to block the communication camera, "You... you don't have any shutters...!"

    On the opposite side, Zheng Yue's eyes were blank.

    His mouth opened and closed, like a malfunctioning radio: "Emperor Huang Huang Huang..."

    Garcia's eyes sneered even more: "Why, am I so shameful? Whether or not I can hang a blinder, what position do you take to care about me?"

    Zheng Yue: "Lai, Lai... Hall, Hall, Hall... Hall..."

    Jiang Jianming: "You also know that it's midnight now, what should I do if my deputy is scared to death?? Wait, let me go first—"

    "..."

    Zheng Yue stammered for a long time and rolled his eyes——

    "Don't be dizzy, don't be dizzy, work." Jiang Jianming couldn't help laughing and crying, while pushing Garcia, he turned his head and said, "Go check the aerial surveillance of those days, hurry up!"
