When they couldn't contact their commander-in-chief at first, they were really nervous, thinking that something unexpected had really happened. But later, when they saw that their Majesty was so calm in the face of his son's "disappearance", and that some of the people present had received a message from the other party asking for help some time ago, they understood that the commander at this time was probably there. perform any special tasks.
As people who have been in this circle all year round, even if they are curious, they know that no information can be revealed in such a confidential mission. So even though they had direct contact with him, they never asked him what he was doing or when he would be back.
Since Gu Henzhi became the empire's top military commander, the number of times he had to go on missions alone was not unheard of, but it was so rare that he could count them on one hand, not to mention the fact that he had not contacted them for such a long time.
For a moment, the room fell into an unspeakable silence.
"No matter what happened to the commander, he is unable to come back. The current situation is special. It is a good thing that some people are anxious to jump out. It also saves us time." The man leaning against the window said.
"Don't worry, it's good that our commander doesn't trick others. There's no reason to be tricked by others..." A lazy voice came from the corner. "Instead of worrying about him, it's better to worry about ourselves. Qiqi can't stay out for too long,"
"Hey, I feel sorry for my wife. If you, a technician, go out, you might not be as good as your Qiqi."
The man sitting behind the desk looked at the time and stood up. All eyes in the room were focused on him.
"It's almost time. Let's go and meet them. Tell Qiqi to let those people in."
…
At the same time, the entrance of the administrative building.
"There are rumors that His Highness Qingjing had an accident while performing his mission. Is it true?"
"His Royal Highness Qing Jing has not appeared in any public place for such a long time. Is it really because of the political struggle within the government? His Highness Qing Jing is the heir to the empire. If something happens to him, then under normal circumstances , can we infer that the person who has the easiest way to gain benefits has a reason to harm His Highness Qingjing?"
"What are you trying to hide by remaining silent?"
…
A young woman in a white military uniform frowned and listened to the voice coming from her communicator. She casually raised her eyes and glanced at the menacing guys in front of her.
Suddenly, her body, which was originally lying across the main entrance of the building, took a step back and raised her right foot slightly.
Then there was a loud "bang", and several cracks suddenly appeared on the stone steps under her feet.
This sudden change made the noisy crowd instantly quiet down, and everyone stared at her cunning cracks with wide eyes.
You know, the stone steps in front of this administrative building are made of special material specially transported from Planet B52. A casual kick can crack the stone steps... What kind of monster is this woman in front of me?
For a moment, the aggressive crowd turned from aggressive to fearful towards the woman who had just stopped in front of them.
"Can you finally calm down and listen to others?" The woman slowly rubbed her ears,
Hmm... I guess it was because she had been with her husband a while ago to adapt to the quietness of the laboratory. Now facing these noisy guys who looked like a group of brocade beasts with their necks raised, she was really afraid that she would get impatient and cut them off. their necks.
Thinking like this, the woman slowly raised her head and met the leader's gaze: "Our commander has a very important job now, and it is not convenient to receive guests. Besides, what kind of place do you think this is? Our commander Who are you, sir? As long as someone says something, you have to come forward to prove your existence? Those people are quite proud!"
She spoke very slowly, and with her ice-blue eyes, everyone who stared at her felt an icy chill in their hearts.
"Sir, you have to understand that we are no longer the authoritarian society we used to be. All government agencies are subject to public supervision. Furthermore, we are worried about the safety of Mr. Qingjing. It is because of our doubts that the government has not been able to answer our questions. Come up with a reasonable explanation, so everyone is here." The leading man raised his voice a lot.
His words were recognized by the vast majority of people present.
"A reasonable explanation..." The woman chuckled. She raised her eyes and instantly locked the direction of the person who just spoke. A dark light flashed in her ice-blue eyes.
After taking back her mental power, she glanced somewhere in the crowd.
"It's not impossible for me to let you in, but are you sure you can bear the consequences?" She said this with a smile on her face.
Of course she received the voice urging her in the communicator, but the guys in front of her were indeed very unpleasant to watch.
"Of course, we are here today just to let the imperial government give the people a true explanation. We are not here to cause trouble!" the man leading the meeting across from the other side replied confidently.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind the woman: "Qiqi, you can't be so harsh when facing ordinary people, you have to be gentler. What they said is correct. Qingjing hasn't appeared in front of everyone for a long time. , it is understandable that everyone would be worried about him. After all, he is the only bloodline of this generation of the royal family, and you also know what this means to the empire."
Hey, this automatically raises the other party's reasons to a higher level!
The voice sounded a little old. The woman looked back and, although she was a little reluctant, she still saluted him: "Mr. Wu."
This minister, who is regarded as the chief minister of the Information and Propaganda Department, looks amiable and is usually regarded as a completely good person in the public's impression.
Therefore, his appearance and words were echoed by more people.
"Mr. Wu is right. The special spiritual power of the royal family has an important impact on the safety of the empire. Therefore, the safety of His Highness Qingjing is extremely important to the entire empire. This is not a trivial matter. You just need to let His Highness Qingjing Just come out and show your face, that's it, it's not a troublesome thing. Or is it because you have something evil in your heart that prevents us from seeing His Highness Qingjing? Or...just as we guessed, he really showed up. What accident happened?"
From the crowd on the opposite side, a voice resounded over the entire area.
Just when Mr. Wu here was about to say something, several people came from the administrative building.
One of them waved to the woman standing at the door: "Qiqi, you're back."
The tall man at the head looked at the people outside the door with a stern face: "I heard that you think our commander had an accident? Are you doubtful about his ability, or do you have ulterior motives for the empire? You have already told me You know, he has very important work to do, and it is not convenient to receive guests, but it seems that some people just can't understand human speech. Can I understand that some people have ulterior motives because they want to disrupt the order of the empire? Did such a show happen?"
Isn't it just a guess? Who doesn't know how to do it?
