"Lao Chen!"
Zhu Changhe kicked open the door of Chen Yan's study. Before anyone could enter, a careless voice could already be heard.
In the room, Chen Yan calmly put away the calligraphy and paintings. He knew that this scene would happen from the moment Zhu Qi failed to return to his place.
"Lao Zhu!"
He looked towards the door, until the moment Zhu Changhe appeared in his field of vision, he grinned, "Long time no see!"
The two of them perform their own duties, and there is basically no intersection. Unless it is intentional, it is normal for them not to see each other for several months. Therefore, even if he is mentally prepared, Chen Yan's smile is filled with joy from the bottom of his heart.
"Hahaha, yes!"
Zhu Changhe was not polite, he came in and found a seat to sit down, "It's been half a year since we last saw each other, right?"
Chen Yan thought for a while and nodded with a smile, "It's only a few days and half a year away."
After that, he paused for a moment. Although he wanted to have a good chat, now was obviously not a good time, so he went along and said half-jokingly: "Half a year ago, you came here for one of my shadow people. Now, half a year later, , isn’t it also because of this?”
When they said this, their eyes met, and they understood each other tacitly.
"How about you, old boy, understand me."
Zhu Changhe did not feel embarrassed after being exposed. Instead, he laughed and admitted frankly, "Yes, I came here again for that incompetent boy!"
Chen Yan nodded slightly and said sternly: "Lao Zhu, I'll tell you straight, if you have other things or other people, I can solve them for you."
"But Su Chen, no!"
Seeing Chen Yan's firm words, Zhu Changhe's smile faded a little, his brows furrowed slightly, his expression was both serious and puzzled, "Why?"
Chen Yan showed a faint smile and was about to speak, but his expression suddenly changed and he looked surprised. Then he ignored Zhu Changhe and said to the door of the study: "Since you are here, why stay outside?"
Zhu Changhe also looked outside, with doubts in his eyes. Who has arrived? He didn't feel anything.
After some time, a burst of hearty laughter came from outside the house, "I see that Commander-in-Chief Chen has guests, so I should wait outside."
"No need, come in."
Chen Yan said calmly: "He is not an outsider."
This conversation made Zhu Changhe more and more curious about who the person outside the house was and what he had to say. Even he had to avoid him.
After a while, a figure stepped into the study, but when he saw the person clearly, Zhu Changhe's eyes widened in shock, because he only saw the person, who was all black, as if he was in darkness.
The whole body cannot be seen clearly, but it is particularly conspicuous.
He looked at Chen Yan with questioning eyes, and the latter looked at him and nodded slightly, as if to say that he saw the same thing as you.
After receiving the response, Zhu Changhe stared at the visitor with an appreciative gaze, a little surprised, wondering how he could do this?
The person who walked into the room seemed to be looking at Zhu Changhe. After a moment, he raised his hands and said with a smile, "It turns out to be Marshal Zhu, disrespectful!"
Zhu Changhe twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, why did it sound so strange?
"It's so, then I said it?"
After the man saluted Zhu Changhe, he turned around and said to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan glanced at him lightly, nodded and said, "Go ahead."
"How many of my men have been lost this time?"
Previous missions were all planned based on the intelligence and suggestions brought by the guy in front of me.
Then at the end of each session, the guy would appear again with mission-related news.
Good news or bad news, take half and half.
In response to Chen Yan's words, the man chuckled a few times, and said without hesitation: "Commander Chen has already said it, fighting with others will not result in sacrifices?"
"It's just a matter of the number and whether it's serious."
After saying that, he changed his tone and said, "Well, it's really serious this time."
"Seven teams were wiped out, nearly half of the teams were damaged, and the remaining teams were only relatively good."
"What!?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Changhe's disbelieving voice immediately sounded, "It's just a mission, but we suffered such heavy losses!"
These are not mortals with no cultivation. Everyone is at the Nascent Soul level. Not only can they not be beaten, but they can still escape by running, right?
Every time a Nascent Soul is cultivated, a lot of resources and time are consumed, and the death of one is a huge loss!
The man's dark face turned to look at him and said calmly: "Marshal Zhu, don't get excited. The total losses suffered by the Shadow Man are not even as much as one or two tenths of the frontal battlefield. I have never seen the Marshal feel so distressed."
Zhu Changhe's face was a little gloomy, and he said solemnly: "How can it be compared with this?"
Is it someone he feels sorry for? What hurts him is the resources that cultivated those people!
Can one sentence easily overshadow Jiang Jun's efforts over so long?
"Lao Zhu, don't get excited."
At this time, Chen Yan's voice sounded, and he smiled softly and comforted: "You are anxious for me before I, the client, say anything, so why should I be anxious?"
Hearing this, Zhu Changhe glared at him angrily, but didn't say anything else. After all, he was not the leader of Shadow Man.
After comforting Zhu Changhe, Chen Yan clasped the document with his fingers rhythmically, his face was thoughtful, and his heart was quite painful. How many resources were spent on cultivating these people, and with a snap, they were gone!
The other two people just watched quietly, and for a while the only sound of "dong, dong" echoed in the study.
After a long time, Chen Yan slowly said: "Your leader didn't say anything?"
"express?"
The man seemed stunned for a moment, a little confused and didn't understand what he was referring to.
Chen Yan smiled coldly and stared at the other party with a cold face, "You provided the intelligence, and my tactical arrangements were strictly in accordance with the intelligence. There has never been such a serious loss before."
"There's no problem with the people, there's no problem with the arrangement, then there's only a problem with the intelligence, shouldn't you give an explanation!?"
Chen Yan's words were precise and his voice was resounding. The more he spoke, the more angry he became on his face. There was no doubt that he would jump out of the document and take action in the next moment.
The man seemed to be shocked by these words. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "Commander Chen, I have received your request, but this time the leader did not authorize me to do anything other than transmitting information."
"Why don't you give me some time and let me report it to the leader and see what the leader says?"
Hearing this, Chen Yan's expression softened a little and he waved his hand dully.
Seeing this, the man left the study.
Zhu Changhe's eyes were always on that person. Even after he exited the study, he was still locked on it with his spiritual consciousness. But in an instant, while he was exploring with his spiritual consciousness, the man's body suddenly disappeared, as if he had evaporated from the world!
"this!"
Zhu Changhe's eyes widened, how evil!
At this time, Chen Yan showed a smile and said: "Stop looking for them, they have a special method that cannot be locked by spiritual consciousness."
Zhu Changhe looked at him and asked, "Who is he?"
He didn't remember that there was such an organization in Jiang County, otherwise such a method suitable for assassination would not be generally unknown.
"An intelligence organization operating outside the three counties."
Chen Yan explained to him: "All the information about Xi County in Shan County, including our Jiang County, can be obtained by them. As long as you are willing to pay the price, even the information about An County can be obtained from you."
Zhu Changhe frowned at these words, "This organization is too dangerous. How can you cooperate with such an organization?"
Chen Yan chuckled lightly, with a hint of helplessness in his laughter, "I can be aloof, but how come Shanjun and Xijun are already cooperating with them?"
Zhu Changhe's brows furrowed even more. Isn't that because Shanjun and Xijun know everything about you, but you know nothing about them?
This is a taboo in war!
After thinking about this, Zhu Changhe no longer objected, and just sighed and said: "Then you must be careful not to be led by the nose."
Chen Yan nodded, "Of course, you don't want to see who I am."
Zhu Changhe smiled, changed his subject, and said, "Now can you tell me about Su Chen?"
