under the tower

Ever since Ji Xi and Yan Yi had such a big fight in the laundry room, the two of them are completely strangers.

The two regarded each other as air, and Ji Xi tried every means to make things difficult for Yan Yi on the training ground. Even Wang Cheng and Chen Guangda saw that their new boss and Yan Yi were particularly difficult to deal with.

"Hey, what's the matter with you and that recruit? Did he offend you in private?" Chen Guangda tried to persuade Ji Xi privately, "He usually behaves quite well, but he is a newcomer after all, so there may be some things he can't say. There are a lot of adults in your place, so please take care of me..."

Ji Xi glanced at him, and replied in an extremely arrogant and unreasonable tone: "Young Master just sees him as particularly upset, can't you?"

Even the good-tempered Chen Guangda was helpless.

He also didn't understand, Ji Xi was a good officer, why he became like this somehow, what's the rivalry with a recruit.

In fact, these two days, not only Yan Yi had a hard time, but Ji Xi had a hard time too.

He was restless almost all day and all night, unable to sleep, unable to eat - lying on the bed dryly with his eyes open all night, at most he could only be dazed for an hour or two, and his stomach had no sense of hunger at all , Turning day and night upside down, seeing any food and even having an unstoppable urge to nausea, accompanied by symptoms and lack of interest in anything, the previous feeling of lack of attention became more and more obvious, almost to the point of no The way to do anything serious.

Under such circumstances, let alone working for Lu Mingxiu and finding a way to find Wu Qianshu, he couldn't even do his own job well.

Ji Xi felt extremely sorry for the document that Wang Cheng and Chen Guangda stayed up all night to sort out. He read it for three days, staring at it all the time except opening and closing his eyes, but he couldn't read a single word. One page, but I can't remember what I just read on the previous page.

Most of the time when he went to the training ground, he lay down and slept under the shade of a tree beside him, but in fact he was only in a half-dream and half-awake state, because he knew that Yanyi was only very close to him at that time, so he seemed to be able to get back a little The sense of stability in the past made his heart, which was constantly ups and downs and anxious, calm down for a moment.

Now everyone is familiar with Ji Xi sleeping next to the training field. Everyone can see that Ji Xi's complexion is extremely bad, the kind of paleness without a trace of blood, coupled with his absent-minded appearance all day long, Chen Guangda He even asked Ji Xi in a roundabout way if he was sick and if he should ask for leave to go to the military treatment center for a consultation.

The tense battle seemed as if Ji Xi would die of terminal illness tomorrow.

It's strange to say that Ji Xi took office less than a week ago, didn't do any heavy work, but looked like he was exhausted, everyone was secretly thinking about small calculations, thinking that the Lu family's vision is really bad, and they spent all their time. He had arranged for someone to come in schemingly, but it turned out to be a sick person who couldn't lift his shoulders and couldn't lift his hands. Wouldn't it be a big loss?

At this moment, Lu Mingxiu who probably heard the news sent a message to Ji Xi.

In Ji Xi's perception, a light blue light spot suddenly appeared in his vision, representing someone contacting him through the soft chip in his eye.

Ji Xi focused his sight more on that light spot, and the light spot started reading automatically.

Lu Mingxiu: Is everything okay?

Ji Xi replied: You have a lot of eyeliners in your army?

Lu Mingxiu: Just caring.

Ji Xi: I'm fine, I will do what I promised you.

Lu Mingxiu: Don't worry, I'm looking for you this time mainly to remind you of another thing.

Ji Xi:?

Lu Mingxiu: This time an incredible person has returned from the army. I heard that even the Chang family can't do anything to him. Be careful not to mess with him, otherwise I may not be able to protect you.

Ji Xi: Who is it?Isn't the person you're talking about from the Chang family?Isn't the entire army surnamed Chang, and there are characters they can't do anything about?

Lu Mingxiu: I don’t know the details. Most of the data belongs to the top secret of the army, but the army definitely has more than one force. The Chang family is only the highest authority in name, but this army cannot be completely controlled by itself, otherwise Nor will the purge of the troops three years ago...

Ji Xi: What is that?

Lu Mingxiu: It is said that that person almost used the power of the army to overthrow the entire Beicheng base. At that time, he was in the united front army and almost overwhelmed the sky with one hand... Later, for some reason, he might have reached some kind of agreement with the Chang family. In short, he left The army never appeared in front of people again, until recently there was news that he had gone back again. The news should have been released by the Chang family, but they have not been able to move this person so far, or have any way to check and balance him for the time being.

Ji Xi: Can you find out who that person is?

Lu Mingxiu: I'll try my best, I may not be able to find out. In short, you should keep a low profile these days. That person has a lot of minions in the army. After three years, the Chang family can't eradicate the power he left behind, so you must act cautiously. , contact me as soon as possible in case of any abnormal situation.

Ji Xi finally replied with two words: I understand.

The dancing blue light spots disappeared from the field of vision.

Ji Xi frowned for a moment. He had indeed thought too simply before. It was obvious that the Chang family and the Lu family were standing on both sides of the North City, but in fact, there was already an undercurrent surging under the deep water of the United Front Army, and now it is inexplicable. Another force appeared again, and according to Lu Mingxiu's tone, its background was not small.

It took only a few minutes for Ji Xi to concentrate his thoughts and think seriously. Then, he thought again, was it because of Yan Yiming secretly reminding him that day that he asked him to go home with an unusually strong attitude?

But isn't he a mercenary?Why would he know something that even Lu Mingxiu couldn't find out?Or is it just a coincidence?

Ji Xi's head started to hurt again.

After the two of them quarreled that day, Yan Yi entered into a state of being completely unable to communicate, and Ji Xi was also half-dead from anger, now it's all right, if there is any situation, he can't rush to talk to Yan Yi, just kidding, Yan Yi now treats him as a piece of air, so it's not certain whether he will be happy to listen to it or not.

The most intense point of conflict between the two of them now is that Yan Yi insists on Ji Xi leaving the army immediately, but Ji Xi disagrees, as long as he doesn't let go, the two of them have no room to resolve this quarrel.

Ji Xi knew that he only needed to say a few soft words, and as soon as he told Yan that he would go home honestly and stay there without fussing about anything, the two of them would immediately return to how they were before.

This is the fundamental reason why he can't sleep at night. Ji Xi holds the initiative in this dispute, and Yan Yi is forcing him to make this choice. On the one hand, he really can't stand Yan Yi's flirting with him like this. , but on the other hand, he was not willing to leave so obediently.

To put it bluntly, he didn't feel that he would face much danger in the army, and even if something happened, he wouldn't die so easily; In the days when there was no last meal, and he was running around for daily necessities, it was only in the army that he regained the feeling of ease and ease that he was good at since childhood.

The balance between the two sides kept tilting in his mind, which made him feel extremely anxious, because he didn't want to give up easily on either side.

Ji Xi had a terrible headache, he supported his head, and Wang Cheng blew the rally whistle in the distance. This morning's training was about to end. Seeing that Ji Xi woke up, Chen Guangda came over and asked him to have lunch with him.

"I don't want to eat, you go on your own." Ji Xi said weakly, "I have no appetite, I will lie down for a while."

"You can't do this." Chen Guangda persuaded him with a worried face, "There is a first-level treatment center in the center of our Jumen District. Really, go and have a look. If your body breaks down, you will lose everything."

Probably because of Ji Xi's affection for blocking the wine for them last time, the two platoon leaders under Ji Xi's subordinates both took good care of his physical condition.

Ji Xi still shook her head resolutely: "I'm really fine."

Still the same sentence, it doesn't matter if the body is broken, but if the treatment center finds out some abnormal substances in his body, let alone staying in the army, he will have to spend the rest of his life as a living specimen in the laboratory.

Chen Guangda left helplessly, and the recruits who had finished training left one after another, scattered like birds in the direction of the cafeteria.

Yan Yi was still at the end, and when he passed by Ji Xi who was lying on the ground, he said coldly: "If you are sick, go to the doctor."

Ji Xi made a nasal sound, tilted her head and ignored him.

Ji Xi was still lying there when the troops came back from dinner, he hadn't moved from his nest at all, he was motionless under the shade of a tree, as if he was dead.

In the afternoon, during the fighting training, Ji Xi was half asleep when he heard someone calling the name "Lu Xi". He slowly realized that it was calling him, and then he thought silently in his heart, who is it? Don't dare to disturb his sleep.

Ji Xi opened his eyes with difficulty, allowing his consciousness to recover for a few seconds, and his sight gradually focused, only to realize that it was Lao Huang who came to inspect again.

"Lu Xi." Huang Huaiyuan waved at him and shouted, "How sleep-deprived is this? Come here!"

After all, he was his nominal boss, Ji Xi frowned in pain, and staggered up from the ground.

As soon as he walked over, he was caught by Huang Huaiyuan and taught him a lesson.

"I'm not talking about you, Xiao Lu, you are our deputy company commander anyway, look, your mental outlook, whether you are asleep or not, is not as good as us recruits who are exposed to the hot sun! It is said that the commander takes the lead Role, you must lead by example, you talk about your day-to-day, let everyone watch you sleeping next to you, engaging in privileges, can everyone still have the intention to train well? Can our company still do well? ?!"

Huang Huaiyuan pointed to Ji Xi's nose and spit out a series of reprimanding words in one breath. The lung capacity of this big beer belly is really impressive. Lao Huang talked continuously for half a minute without even panting.

Good guy, it turned out to be waiting for him here.Ji Xi's sluggish brain immediately reacted. Huang Huaiyuan put on a look of not doing much and letting go of freedom from the beginning, allowing him to relax his vigilance. How to make him convince the public, the key is that this is what Ji Xi himself did. Everyone can see it, and there is no sophistry.

Ji Xi let him teach with a cold face, Huang Huaiyuan had said enough, he had been pretending to be a grandson for so long, he finally felt proud, and after reprimanding Ji Xi, his temper became smoother and he became kind, he smiled and said He added: "Xiao Lu, I'm not harsh on you, but this matter is indeed your fault, shouldn't you go back and reflect on it?"

Ji Xi let out a casual "hmm".

Who knows that this is not over yet, Huang Huaiyuan got angry when he saw Ji Xi's indifference as if he didn't pay attention to anything, he snorted with his nostrils, thinking what arrogance you are, isn't it just a fight Does the Lu family support you? I don’t know how you got your position. I don’t pay attention to my boss. I have to let you know how great I am today.

He grinned his yellow teeth, patted Ji Xi's shoulder affectionately, and said earnestly: "That's right, if you know your mistakes, you should correct them, and if you make mistakes, you should be punished. As an officer, you have to punish the recruits under you." Set a good example." He smiled strangely, pointed at Wang Cheng, and asked kindly, "Xiao Wang. Which project are you taking now?"

Wang Cheng replied with a low eyebrow: "Reporting to the company commander, we are now conducting individual combat training."

"Oh, yes, yes. Fighting is very important." Huang Huaiyuan said to Ji Xi with a smile, and the smile was very malicious at first glance, "In the future, missions, mediation, everything You have to use fighting, Xiao Lu, don’t you think so?”

Ji Xi said "hmm" with a wooden face.

Huang Huaiyuan gritted his teeth and clenched his fist behind his back, and continued with a friendly smile on his face, "Then let's do it today, Vice Company Lu made a mistake, and I'm magnanimous as the company commander, so I won't punish you much. It’s not good-looking, isn’t it. You should train and train with everyone, so that you can experience the hard work of everyone training under the scorching sun.”

Ji Xi finally raised his eyes with some reaction, and he glanced at Huang Huaiyuan lightly: "Are you sure?"

Huang Huaiyuan raised his eyebrows immediately, with a gesture of making a fuss, he said loudly: "Oh, Xiao Lu, you don't want to, do you? You are wrong, I have to tell you well, as the officer, How can you not be considerate of your subordinates..."

"Okay." Ji Xi said a few words with a blank face, and agreed quite readily. Huang Huaiyuan, who was still talking endlessly, said "ah" before he could react, "What did you say? You agreed?"

"I agree." Ji Xi smiled softly, turned around, and faced all the recruits staring at him, his figure was as straight as a solitary pine tree on a snowy mountain, "...I not only agreed , and give you an extra chance."

He said slowly: "Today I am standing here, the whole fighting training..." Ji Xi raised his hand and looked at the crystal watch on his wrist, "... until [-]:[-] this afternoon, a full two Hours, anyone can come up to challenge me, as long as you defeat me, I, in the name of the deputy company commander—" Ji Xi stared at everyone frankly, with a proud light shining in his deep eyes:

"—The day after tomorrow's assessment, you will be exempted from the test, and I will give you a full score to pass."
