Chapter 54
After walking out of the basement floor, a group of people paused, and Ji Mingjiang looked in the direction of the window when he came in.
"Is there someone over there..." He seemed to hear some quarrels and footsteps.
Ji Mingjiang said hesitantly with a guilty conscience.
After listening carefully, Rowlett said, "I'll go and talk to them, Your Highness, you go first."
Layton took Zhang Cheng, who was bowing his head, from his hand, and after explaining a few words, he led Ji Mingjiang towards the door. When he was about to reach the door, Ji Mingjiang suddenly remembered something, and quickly put the cloak on his back.The hood was pulled over his head and pulled down.
The registration officer guarding the door stood up and bowed his head after seeing the figure of Cliles. After the figures of the three gradually disappeared, he looked up at the empty door and scratched his head in doubt.Scratch your head.
Your Majesty's manic period has passed so quickly?And... why does it feel like there is suddenly another person?
...
When they came, the suspension vehicle was parked behind the guard station. After seeing the suspension vehicle marked with the royal family emblem, which clearly made him, a sneaky mercenary, scared every time, Zhang Cheng uncharacteristically let go.tone.
——He really didn't want to experience the violent exercise that almost shook his brains out.
Ji Mingjiang hadn't realized the psychological shadow he had left on others, so he pushed Zhang Cheng into the back seat of the suspension car.In the dark night, while waiting for Rowlett to clean up the mess for them, Layton finally found an opportunity to ask the question that troubled him all the way: "Did you mutate again or all mermaids can transform into twins just like you?"leg?"
Putting his fingers on the back of Zhang Cheng's stiff neck, he felt the blood vessels under his hands beating violently. Ji Mingjiang first gave him a strange look, and then pinched him unconsciously before answering Cliles' question.
To be precise, it throws the question back.
"Of course I have accumulated enough energy to transform into human legs. As for other mermaids... I don't have any inheritance memory or anything like that. Shouldn't you ask yourself about this related to historical records?"
Feeling that what he said was a bit vague, Ji Mingjiang paused, and added: "Simply speaking, I can become like this after eating enough. I don't know about other mermaids."
Both of them understood the implication.
——After all, no matter how you look at it, those few small whitebaits don't seem to be able to feed the mermaid and save energy at the same time.
"There have been no similar records in the Empire and the Federation for hundreds of years." After thinking for a while, Layton said with certainty, "If there is, at least my parents will tell me when they are still alive, and let me take care of them."Food supply problem at Mermaid Center."
The two looked at each other for a while, and finally Rowlett who suddenly opened the door broke the somewhat silent atmosphere in the suspension car, "The monitoring and glass have been processed, and I will make a report for you on what Zhang Cheng explained just now. Of course, it is so short.You can't dig out anything within the time, I still suggest you to try it yourself."
What happened tonight was beyond his imagination.After speaking, Rowlett took off his glasses tiredly, and then he noticed Zhang Cheng who was limp in the back seat when he turned his head.
"...Why did he faint again?"
Hearing Rowlett's shocking words, Ji Mingjiang winked at the old gentleman innocently.
...
The levitation car drove back to the palace at high speed. After checking his identity and entering the palace, Layton's eyes gradually turned cold when he saw the patrols that were obviously under martial law and some groups that shouldn't be here.
Rowlett also turned on his communicator again, shook his head after flipping through everything, "I haven't received any request or report from the chief of security."
Ji Mingjiang looked out the window, and most of the guards breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Cliles' hover car, as if they had found the backbone, but among the patrols along the way, there were always a few sporadic people whose expressions seemed out of place with the surroundings.
Those subtle and unnatural things blended well into the night, other people may not be able to see clearly, but in Ji Mingjiang's eyes, there is nothing to hide.
He withdrew his gaze lightly, and was not affected by the obviously problematic tension. He still leaned back very relaxedly, looked at Cliles whose expression remained unchanged, and said in a teasing tone, "Your palace is about to be stabbed into pieces."Sieve it, Your Majesty the Emperor?"
Layton glanced at him, did not speak, but parked the hover car at the door of the bedroom and opened the door, "Go back and check the situation first, if there is nothing unusual, go to the study and wait for me."
Ji Mingjiang gestured ok to him and was about to open the door and get out of the car. As soon as he stepped out of the car door, he leaned back into the car again, stretched out his arms and pulled out Zhang Cheng who had passed out and was leaning on the back seat of the car..
"I'll take him with me first, so that you won't be able to handle it later and worry about a sap coming later."
Before Cliles could react, like a gust of wind, Ji Mingjiang almost flashed right under the ventilation window of their bedroom.
Instead of leaving the main entrance, he walked under the window...
Layton couldn't help but twitched his forehead, and then his ominous premonition was verified.
——The mermaid who suddenly grew legs today swung himself on a branch, tapped his toes on the outer wall twice, and then swayed himself into the bedroom with one hand on the window edge.
It is worth mentioning that during this smooth movement, Ji Mingjiang was still holding Zhang Cheng in the other hand, and because of the bumpy movement, the other party woke up from a coma, and then let out a sound very like a normal personscream.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly
The wailing sound finally ended with a cry of pain, and Layton's face was a little puzzled.
What are you talking about... What did Ji Mingjiang do before?Also, his room is on the fourth floor, right?
Rowlett, who also saw Ji Mingjiang's operation in shock, wiped his glasses silently, and comforted him: "Your Highness's legs have grown out, so it's normal to be able to go directly to the fourth floor, and it's not like he flew up directly without any means."
"..." Layton glanced at Rowlett inexplicably, "Take your filter away."
After finishing speaking, probably because Zhang Cheng made too much noise just now, a burst of orderly and hurried footsteps came from far and near, and at the same time, there was a shout: "Who is there!"
all
Chen Man, who had just led the team for the handover, had just finished counting the number of people on his front foot, when he heard a strange scream coming from a road away from behind the layers of grass and trees.
After realizing where the sound came from, Chen Man's face, which was already a little anxious because of the various sudden transfers tonight, became even more concentrating, and quickly led the team to rush over.
In the process of advancing, her hands had already reached for the laser gun pinned to her waist, and then after rushing to the downstairs of His Majesty's bedroom, her hand holding the gun froze in place, and she was stunned for a few secondsthen dropped quickly.
"Your Majesty, Cliles, good night." Chen Man, who rushed over one step ahead of his team members, saluted and groaned secretly in his heart.
Save your life, who pointed a laser gun at His Majesty, will she still survive after tonight?
But to her surprise, Cliles didn't care about her offense just now, but waved his hand and asked about Yang Weiguang, the chief of the palace security department.
While muttering about what his immediate superior did, Chen Man honestly told all the unreasonable things he noticed tonight.
In the end, she hesitated for a moment, and still said a point that might affect Yang Weiguang's future: "Although the transfer order tonight is very unreasonable, none of it was directly issued by Director Yang, and the one who handed over to us is the usualA person who is next to the director, I think...there is a great possibility that these orders were not issued by the director himself."
After finishing speaking, Chen Man lowered her head nervously, waiting for Cliles' next arrangement.
Although she had just joined the job not long ago, she was naturally not a fool to be able to become the captain of the patrol in such a short period of time.
According to Cliles' expression without any smile and the question just now, Chen Man already had a plan for the inexplicable orders and tense atmosphere tonight.
And speaking to the boss in this situation, the good ones may leave an impression that she values love and righteousness, and the bad ones... It is not impossible to be treated as an accomplice at this stall.
Just when she was feeling uneasy, she heard Cliles hum without any emotion, and then ordered her to patrol according to the original arrangement, then went straight back to the suspension vehicle, closed the door and left...?
Chen Man looked up inexplicably, and the team members who had just rushed over from behind looked at her in confusion: "Captain, what's wrong, Your Majesty?"
"I don't know either, just do what His Majesty said." Scratching her head on the armor shell, Chen Man put down her hand embarrassingly, straightened her face and led the patrol back to the established route.
Struggle or something, it seems that they can't fight against them at present, it is more important to do their jobs honestly.
all
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
After listening to the captain's words, Rowlett called Yang Weiguang several times, but no one answered without exception.
The hover car was heading towards Menguse Khorimavi's residence at full speed. Layton's fingers lightly rubbed the smooth surface of the joystick, and the light outside the window reflected interlaced light and shadow on his face.
"They're not that stupid. They wouldn't kill him directly."
Yang Weiguang retired from the military, and was the principal of the First Military Academy before. Although he no longer has real power in his hands, his influence is still there.
There are a lot of current officers under his guidance and future officers who yearn for military academy because of him.Really solve him, it will take another few decades for those who have made today's incident want to take down the power of the military department.
"You'll know when you catch people out in a while."
After speaking, Layton glanced at the situation on the planned route, and pushed the joystick forward again.
Ji Mingjiang might already be waiting for him in the study at this time, it's better not to waste time on the road.
——
"Who are you and what are you doing?!"
As soon as Menguse Khorimavi finished replying to the message, he turned his back on the computer and heard a soft sound of glass breaking. Before he could turn his head, he was strangled by the man who broke through the window and threw him to the ground.
The dust on the ground was blown up by the airflow and fell into his eyes. He closed his eyes with some discomfort, and asked in a low voice.
"Why come to you, you should know this in your heart, right?"
Behind him came a familiar voice that he had just heard this afternoon.
Menguse Khorimavi's closed eyes suddenly opened, and tears flowed from the irritated eyes. He frantically struggled in fright to get rid of the shackles of the people behind him, but Cliles held his neck and wrists in a suppressed posture, and slowly lifted him from the groundPull up.
The evening wind in late autumn whistled into the house through the broken windows, making him feel chills in his heart.
"Squeak—"
The old wooden door made an overwhelmed sound when it was pushed open. When Menguse Khorimavi saw the ray of light that penetrated first, hope burst out in his eyes, but he realized that behind himCliles quickly extinguished when he was unmoved.
Sure enough, in the next second, an elderly figure he had only seen in some reports appeared at the door against the light.
Rowlett took a disgusted look at Menguse Khorimavi, who was showing unwillingness and hatred like a crazy bereaved dog, turned sideways to let the light outside the door fully illuminate the dark study room, nodded and said: "There are no residents outside now, we canLet's go now."
Layton nodded and escorted Menguse Khorimavi out of the residential building where he was.
Looking back at the somewhat dilapidated building walls, Layton, who made small adjustments to the salaries of civil servants every year, showed sarcasm.
"With your salary level, no matter how extravagant you are, you can't just live in this kind of residential building that is about to be eliminated?"
At night, there are not even a few households in this residential building that are lit up.
While there were not many residents, plus the conversations with local accents heard on the road, Layton was basically sure that this place would only be considered by those who came to work on the capital planet from other remote galaxies to live in the transitional period.
"It's really the first time I've seen someone do things for others to make my life a mess."
With a sneer, he knocked Menguse Khorimavi unconscious and pushed him into the hovercar.
Opening the door next to the driver's seat, Layton restarted the hover car, and the silver-gray hover car drew a silver line in the night sky, speeding towards the palace.
After returning to the palace, Layton swiftly caught out a few people in the patrol team who were obviously harboring evil intentions, and then strode towards the study with a cold expression under the panic-stricken gaze.
In addition to being disgusted with these people who eat inside and out, he also has some anger towards himself in his heart.
If it wasn't that Ji Mingjiang was different from other mermaids in that he was mentally strong enough to detect something was wrong and at the same time deal with emergencies by himself, would something really happen to him tonight?
After he survived this sudden manic period again with hard work, would he find that the empty palace was quiet again when he came back, and the same things as ten years ago would reappear due to his negligence.
When Zhang Cheng said that he was coming to kidnap Ji Mingjiang, if it wasn't for the sake of his future use, Layton was really angry and murderous.
When he pushed open the door of the study room wrapped in cold air, Ji Mingjiang had been sitting behind the desk bored for a while.
The constant temperature device in the room kept the study room at a suitable temperature. After he didn't need to continue to cover his face, he took off the cloak that Ji Mingjiang was originally wearing and hung it aside, and his hair was loosely scattered on the white shirt.
The warm yellow light from the roof trickled down the mermaid's silver hair, and the lines of the face, which hadn't grown out yet, seemed softer, and the shirt embroidered with delicate dark patterns was still still beautiful when worn on Layton's body.Unable to suppress his sharpness like a knife out of its sheath, it was only when he was on Ji Mingjiang that he returned to the original intention of the design, making the person wearing this dress delicate and noble.
The people who were ruthlessly thrown to the ground let out screams of pain one after another, pulling back the two who were staring at each other in a daze.
Ji Mingjiang took a last look at Cliles, who was looking like he was about to kill someone just now, but now has a blank face. He withdrew his vigilant eyes and mental energy ready to move, raised his hand and pressed the button on the wall, and the warm yellow light instantlyIt turned back into a big white light that can light up the blind.
"hiss……"
He didn't want to see Ji Mingjiang's face that made him want to vomit, and he didn't dare to look around in the emperor's study room. He only dared to look at the ceiling in a daze. Zhang Chengguo closed his eyes when Ji Mingjiang raised his hand, but his movements were still the same.One step slower.
While leaning peacefully against the corner of the wall and waiting for his eyes to recover, Zhang Cheng crazily cursed himself and Bisna Ofir in his heart the day before.
Damn it, he figured it out, he just had a fight with this mermaid!
Not noticing Zhang Cheng who was in pain, Ji Mingjiang looked at Cliles who turned to close the door, came out from behind the desk curiously, and raised the faces of the people on the ground one by one.
There are a few people with the wrong expressions he saw just now, and the rest should be from several other patrol teams.
"I don't even have any impression, isn't it someone important?" After straightening up, Ji Mingjiang wiped his fingers and said with concern.
"?"
"What important thing are you? You are not the pet of an Israeli servant!"
"The brothers have never seen you before, maybe the range of activities is only in the palace?"
Hearing his seemingly inadvertent words, several people in the row on the ground suddenly cursed.
Ji Mingjiang didn't react when he heard this, he just looked at Zhang Cheng who shrank himself to the corner with a smile in his eyes, but Layton's face that had just calmed down quickly sank again.
"Stop fucking beeping!" A person who was watching Cliles' reaction at any time saw his expression, and quickly turned around and kicked the person next to him who was still yelling wildly.
At the same time, as the only orc-like man who often watched the live broadcast, the person on the far side stared at Ji Mingjiang several times in disbelief, and then tremblingly interrupted the faintly quarrelsome moments.personal.
"You, aren't you, the mermaid that appeared on that live broadcast platform recently?"
"Yeah, you also watch my live broadcast?" Ji Mingjiang turned his head to look at the person who made the sound with some surprise, and then said with a smile, "That's a pity, I will continue the live broadcast tomorrow, but you mayCan't see it anymore."
After finishing speaking, Ji Mingjiang didn't care about the group of people who were either looking at him blankly or begging for mercy when they suddenly realized their current situation. Instead, he walked up to Cliles, frowned and looked him up and down.
The mental power went all the way into the opponent's spiritual sea without any hindrance, and seeing the black dragon with its wingtips still very comfortable by the stream, Ji Mingjiang was relieved.
Withdrawing his mental power from the black dragon's reluctant claws, he stared at Cliles' dark face with some doubts for a while.
Immediately, he suddenly realized, and patted Cliles on the shoulder comfortingly: "It's okay, it's just staying up for a while, I will stay with you."
"..."
Looking helplessly at Ji Mingjiang whose emotions were not affected by the people just now, Layton chuckled before walking to the desk and taking out a recording pen.
The tip of the pen casually pointed at Zheng Zheng, crying and scolding him as a tyrant's unkind bodyguard. Layton said indifferently, "Ten seconds, tell me who ordered your actions tonight."
The person who was howling obviously didn't expect that Cliles would ask the question directly. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he wanted to push all the arrangements directly to Yang Weiguang, but just as he was organizing his words, a familiar voice sounded from the top of his head.
"Take him away and dispose of it."
He raised his head in panic, and saw that Cliles' eyes had already passed him, and the tip of the recording pen turned around lightly, pointing to the next person.
"Ten seconds, tell me where Yang Weiguang is."
"No, wait!" Sweat was dripping from his forehead, and he quickly shouted as he crawled forward, "Your Majesty, I just didn't realize it! Give me another chance, Your Majesty! All orders tonight are from Chu Yang."Your majesty ordered it!"
"Five seconds, tell me where Yang Weiguang is." Cliles' eyes remained unmoved, still staring at the person he was questioning now.
Ji Mingjiang shrugged, and grabbed the naughty student who was disturbing the "classroom discipline" and even wanted to attack the discipline supervisor with one hand. He lightly closed his palms, and a crisp sound stopped the naughty student's defense and resistance, and started his struggle.Shout out to a new chapter.
"Sorry, I didn't expect him to be so noisy..." After he stretched out his hand and knocked him unconscious, Ji Mingjiang said apologetically, feeling the sudden quiet atmosphere in the study.
Of course, although the words seemed to be addressed to Cliles, his eyes did look at the person who was being questioned by Wenhua and who was about to be questioned.
"The patrol team is already waiting outside, you just hand them over." Seeing his actions, Layton raised the corner of his mouth slightly, then quickly leveled off, and looked back at the man who was sweating profusely.shivering.
"By the way, you take this..."
"I don't know!" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a voice suddenly raised below, and the second person who was asked said hurriedly: "I really don't know where Director Yang is. I really don't know where Director Yang is.I don’t know! Your Majesty, please ask me another question!”
Ji Mingjiang and Cliles looked at each other, and after silently giving a thumbs up, they turned around and took the fainted person in their hands to the door of the study.
When he opened the door, he saw a somewhat familiar figure, who seemed to be the patrol captain who was led by Zhang Cheng after he went up to the fourth floor just now.
The other party was obviously stunned when he saw him, as if he didn't expect that there would be people other than Rowlett walking out of His Majesty's study at this time, but she quickly realized that she reached out to take it even if she fainted.Smoking traitor.
"Your Highness, just leave it to me, we have trained before."
The voice is also very familiar.
Ji Mingjiang nodded, reconfirmed that this guy had passed out before saying: "Thank you, Captain Chen."
Working overtime at night or something, if he is a member of the patrol team, after knowing who is playing tricks tonight, even if he can't cause any physical damage to the other party, he will be cursed by a villain.
The author has something to say:
Ji Mingjiang: Is he all right?Sick again?
Cliles: so good to see
The brain waves are completely wrong!
