Hit the nail on the head.
Xue Yun closed his eyes and did not respond immediately. Instead, he fell into a long silence.
A team of twelve people set out from the territory of Dog City.
First, he crossed the extremely cold northern border, and then secretly sneaked into other countries. The ultimate goal was to assassinate a powerful minister of defense.
This is not an "Assassination Squad". It would probably be more appropriate to call it a "Suicide Squad".
"Good guy, who is the wise man who came up with this battle plan..."
Shrugging his shoulders.
Xue Yun shook his head and said with a wry smile: "What's the difference between this and sending yourself to death?"
There was silence for a long time.
Hu Kui lit a cigarette again, acquiescing to what Xue Yun had just said.
In fact it is.
Even if they are lucky enough to succeed, once the incident comes to light, this team will most likely be completely surrounded by the enemy. It is really impossible to evacuate safely.
"I see."
He lowered his head and gritted his teeth, the ashes of the cigarette in his hand falling uncontrollably.
The tone was full of helplessness.
Hu Kui said softly: "But for the Great Xia Empire, someone has to pay the price. Unfortunately, I am not strong enough. Otherwise, I would not let you lead the team into danger."
Said.
Hu Kui's shoulders in front of him couldn't stop shaking.
He knew that going there was a narrow escape, but he had no choice.
Just because Hu Kui is now the lord of a city and must think about problems from a higher overall perspective.
The actual situation is-
Apart from Xue Yun, looking at the entire Daxia Empire, it is now difficult to find another candidate who is qualified for this important task.
Choked for a long while.
Hu Kui was about to speak but stopped: "Old Xue, I know you want to live a stable life, but..."
"okay!"
Standing up suddenly, Xue Yun smiled slightly.
He reached out and patted Hu Kui on the shoulder, and said calmly: "Between you and me, why do we have to explain so many reasons?"
He looked up sharply.
The two people's eyes met, and just like their experience in the Zhulin Orphanage, their eyes were filled with mutual trust.
"Although it is indeed dangerous, it is not necessarily a fatal situation."
Facing Hu Kui's stunned eyes.
Xue Yun stretched out three fingers and said with a smile: "However, you have to agree to my three conditions, otherwise, even if I die in battle, I will crawl to your bedside to chat with you at night!"
The forehead is covered with black lines.
Hu Kui was speechless. After twitching his mouth, he had no choice but to smile bitterly: "You, tell me...the three conditions."
"First!"
Stand with your hands behind your back.
Xue Yun's eyes were deep and he spoke eloquently: "No matter who the other eleven people are, since I am the leader, they must obey my orders. This kind of assassination mission behind enemy lines does not require someone who is too opinionated." Stab the head!"
"Of course."
He nodded quickly.
Hu Kui agreed and said, "I will explain this principle to the other city lords and princes, so you can rest assured."
"Second, you must arrange the relevant logistical support work for me!"
He stepped on the table.
Xue Yun leaned forward, narrowed his eyes and said: "It's okay to let us go out and work hard, but it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. All kinds of equipment and supplies have to be kept up. We can't let the brothers really go to waste with nothing!" "
Think about it.
Hu Kui nodded heavily and promised: "Okay, if you need anything, just ask. Even if it is resources that Longdu does not have, I will ask other princes and city lords to prepare it for you!"
There was a pause.
Hu Kui took a long drag on his cigarette and asked, "What's the last request?"
Grinning.
Xue Yun turned around and looked through the study window at the outdoor garden.
"The last request is very simple and the easiest to fulfill..."
Everywhere you look.
An Ruxuan, who was pregnant, was talking and laughing with Shi Kelang's two sisters.
On the other side, Sun Xiaolong and Mu Yumei held their infant children and looked up at the sunset on the horizon.
As for Ivanov, he had already sat at the dining table outside the garden and couldn't help but move his index fingers in front of the numerous delicacies.
"If I don't come back safely, remember to take care of them for me..."
A smile twitched at the corner of his mouth.
Xue Yun's eyes were moved and he muttered: "Also, Ruxuan and our children..."
Hear the words.
Hu Kui on the sofa was stunned on the spot, his clenched fists were shaking silently, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
...
That night.
The villa at No. 138 Taiping Street suddenly became very lively.
Leng Xintong and Xiao Gu, who had not seen each other for a long time, specially brought Gu Xiao Yi to visit them.
Hu Kui even called Zhao Lihua and Xiao Wen Xiaowu over with just one phone call.
Such a banquet, of course, is indispensable for Zhuge Gang.
The only pity is that the bald man Wang Defa is still far away in Fengdu, but the former "golden VIP" is missing.
Under night.
Everyone toasted and drank together, and talked about many interesting things they had experienced together in the past.
From the initial water crisis in "Kangding Town" to the tit-for-tat confrontation with Chen Jingshan during his trip to "Fengdu".
There is also the crisis in Dragon City caused by the "Apostle of Judgment", as well as the successive battles between York City and Green in the "Ocean Federation".
The "City Under the Abyss" deep under the sea, the mysterious "Beginning and Ending Realm".
Look back.
Xue Yun and his friends experienced so many adventures and tribulations without knowing it.
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh loudly. Many people, under the influence of alcohol, actually hugged each other and cried inexplicably.
Time flies.
Everyone present is no longer young, after all, they are not like the cardamom years they were in those days.
After taking off the childishness of the past, what is left is maturity and stability. Isn’t it a yoke that is jokingly called responsibility? !
until late at night.
Everyone ended the banquet with satisfaction.
Hu Kui was very drunk, but Sister Hua, uncharacteristically, did not drink too much, and left in a hurry with the nonsense-talking Lord of Longdu City and a pair of children.
As for the others, they simply found a vacant room in the villa to stay.
to them.
This place is like my second home, and the degree of familiarity is even better than that of Xue Yun, who travels around all year round.
The stars are dense and the moonlight is sultry.
After everything calmed down, Xue Yun sat alone by the empty garden, holding half a bottle of unfinished wine in his hand, staring blankly at the starry sky above his head.
"So, when are you leaving?"
suddenly.
A familiar voice came from behind.
Xue Yun was startled, and when he turned around, he found that An Ruxuan was already standing behind him.
"Ruxuan, I..."
A bitter smile.
Xue Yun was speechless on the spot, not knowing how to explain to his wife.
"No need to say anything more, I understand."
Smile slightly.
Tiptoeing to the slightly muddy garden, An Ruxuan sat generously next to Xue Yun and said happily: "My husband is a man who does great things. I have always known that, and you don't need to feel indebted." I."
"You, like Bei Gong Mu, have the people and sentient beings in the world in your heart..."
An Ruxuan is so smart.
Although I don’t know the specific details.
But from Hu Kui's reaction tonight, it is not difficult to see that Xue Yun is probably going to travel far away again to carry out an extremely dangerous mission.
"As your woman, I will support you unconditionally and do what you should do, for the sake of the Great Xia Empire and for our next generation to live in a peaceful and prosperous age."
He took Xue Yun's hand and slowly placed it on his bulging abdomen.
An Ruxuan smiled slightly and whispered: "Don't worry, I will tell our child that his father is an upright hero. You don't have to worry about us..."
The words end here.
Xue Yun was already choked with sobs, so he simply reached out and pulled the woman beside him into his arms, unable to let go for a long time.
