Interstellar: Besieged

On the outskirts of Chiba City, Moon Mountain.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Ning Yao looked up at this verdant mountain with an altitude of only 400 meters. Suddenly, he counted in his mind—since he took over MI[-], how many times has he come back?the third time?Or the second time?

I remember that when I came back last time, I was only 23 years old, and the woman Wutong was there, still looking cold and lonely.It's hard to imagine that such a woman would disregard the family and do things like giving people a cuckold.In fact, Ning Yao had doubts about the marriage from the very beginning, he had a good sense of smell, and instinctively sensed something tricky in this matter.

But what is this trick?

Ning Yao is still unable to judge, maybe she will have the answer after going up the mountain.The mountain road is not spacious, there is only a one-meter-wide stone path extending crookedly upwards.After walking for about half an hour, passing through a dense forest, a huge building complex located in a valley appeared in front of Ning Yao.

This is the hermitage of the Ning family of the ancient martial arts family. If you look down from the sky, the dense mimetic light network will prevent any detection, and people can't see a brick, only a piece of emerald green.And on Shaar's map, this area is marked as - nothing.

As a family that survived from the ancient earth era, the Ning family was able to practice ancient martial arts because of its special bloodline ability, and had inherent strong advantages in both individual combat and mecha combat.At the beginning, these ancient martial arts families had the same limelight, but gradually, Muxiu was destroyed by the forest wind, and as more and more families were silenced because they refused to recruit, the rest began to live in seclusion with their clansmen.

Fortunately for the Ning family, the ancestors were not too dizzy to fight for the world, so the clan survived.However, even in seclusion, some compromises are necessary.Marrying with the Chu family and giving birth to an heir with bloodline ability for the Chu family is the compromise of the Ning family.

But at this moment, in the main hall of the Ning family, a conversation is still going on.

"Uncle, the most urgent task now is to get Wutong back first." Ning Wutong's elder brother Ning Haicheng was still wearing a military uniform, his eyes were full of worry.

The one called Uncle is the current head of the Ning family, Ning Yuanshan, who looks about 50 years old, but he is very energetic, with jet-black hair, not even a single white hair, "Hai Cheng, it's not that Uncle doesn't want to look for me I want to find her back, but I can't get in touch with Wutong at all."

"But if you don't get her back, what will happen to her marriage with the Chu family?"

"And Ning Yao." Ning Yuanshan sat on the main seat, and there was helplessness in his tone.

"No, I don't agree. We haven't decided on Wutong's matter yet, maybe it's just a misunderstanding, how can we just say that we can change candidates casually." Ning Haicheng was still steadfast and refused to let go, "Uncle, what is Wutong's temper?" You also know how she could do such a thing."

"Whether it's true or not, we can't get in touch with Wutong now, and the Chu family already knows about it, and asked Ning Yao to replace him." Ning Yuanshan looked at his nephew, Ning Haicheng and Ning Wutong were gone since childhood Parents, he raised them as his own children, and he didn't want to make it to where it is today, but things have come to this point, he is the patriarch, and he has to worry about the interests of the whole group. "Haicheng, Wutong must continue to look for it, but the most urgent task now is to convince Ning Yao to let him bear this burden for Wutong."

"Him?" Ning Haicheng couldn't stop the disgust in his heart when he thought of that pretty face.If it weren't for him, MI[-] would be his own anyway, so there's no need to go to the army and start from a small soldier.Ning Haicheng couldn't help frowning, and said: "Uncle, it's not like you don't know about Ning Yao. Letting him marry will only lead to bad things."

Ning Yuanshan saw a trace of hidden hatred flashing in Ning Haicheng's eyes, and couldn't help shaking his head secretly in his heart.He has never asked about the grievances between the juniors, but he never thought it would be so serious.He was about to say something, but he heard a short call from outside the hall, and then, a smiling face appeared at the door of the hall.

Ning Yao stepped across the threshold calmly, took off her white coat and put it on her arm, and nodded politely to Ning Yuanshan, "Uncle Ning, I'm back."

As for Ning Haicheng, to him, it was as transparent as a cloud of air.

The first time Ning Haicheng saw Ning Yao, he fixed his eyes firmly on his face, and a cold look flashed across his face.He glanced outside the hall and asked coldly, "Ning Yao, what did you do to my people?"

The person standing outside the hall was brought back from the barracks by Ning Haicheng, he is considered to be the younger brother who has been more heartfelt over the years, and the exclamation just now was obviously made by him.Originally, he wanted to stop others so as not to disturb his conversation with his uncle, but thinking of Ning Yao's methods all along, Ning Haicheng's face suddenly became serious.

Ning Yao looked away from Ning Yuanshan, as if she just saw Ning Haicheng, "Brother Cheng is here too. You brought that person outside the door? I think who brought it back, it's too impolite Yes, I accidentally...I stuck a needle in him and disciplined him for you. "

Ning Haicheng couldn't help but snorted coldly in his heart, Ning Yao's needle went down, and it was a trivial matter to be paralyzed and unable to move for a long time.As expected, he was still so ruthless, Ning Haicheng couldn't help but sneer, "That's a member of the army, who is my cousin disciplined for?"

"Unfortunately, as the chief of MI[-], I have the rank of colonel." Ning Yao looked at Ning Haicheng with her beautiful eyes without blinking, "Speaking of which, I would also like to thank brother Cheng, if it weren't for your humility, six It won't fall into my hands."

Sprinkle salt!This is bare-naked-naked sprinkle of salt!Humility?Even a dog of the Ning family had to bark twice to express his disbelief when he heard these two words, let alone Ning Haicheng.As long as he thought of the few ribs he had broken back then, Ning Haicheng felt his teeth itch with hatred.

Ning Yao is really as hateful as before!It's just an orphan whose parents have all died. If it wasn't for being raised by the family, he would be where he is today.

"Ning Yao, it's rare for you to come back, please sit down, let's have a good chat." Seeing Ning Haicheng's expression, Ning Yuanshan quickly changed the topic.However, he also started thinking secretly in his heart, Ning Yao hadn't been called back yet, why did he come back by himself?

Ning Yao nodded, and sat down on the chair generously, with one leg on the other, elegant and leisurely, like a gentle and noble son.How can it be seen that he just sprinkled such a big pile of salt on other people's wounds.

Ning Haicheng clenched his fist tightly, but finally let go. He couldn't completely tear himself apart with Ning Yao now, otherwise if Ning Yao was determined to fight him, the marriage would be completely lost.But Ning Haicheng couldn't swallow his breath, so he couldn't help but respond, "Cousin is really good. The people outside the door came back with me anyway. They are guests. Our Ning family's way of hospitality is very good. It’s not like bullying someone with a needle.”

"Heh." Ning Yao chuckled, "Don't worry, Brother Cheng, I'm using a brand new biological needle. It will dissolve automatically in the flesh and blood in a short time, and it is not harmful to the human body. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in the future, I will also I will give you a few needles, and the effect will be very good."

"Please worry about it, cousin." Ning Haicheng sat down on the chair opposite Ning Yao with a cold face.

Ning Yuanshan saw it, and shook his head secretly, hey... Haicheng is still too young, not calm enough, among the younger generation, apart from Wutong, there is really no one who can compare to Ning Yao in terms of character, how can he be his opponent.

"Ning Yao, I won't play tricks with you anymore. You must come back this time for the purpose of marriage." Ning Yao is too smart, and it would be a waste of time to play tricks with him, so Ning Yuanshan simply cut to the chase, "What do you think? Just say it out, the nephews of the Ning family are important to the Ning family, and we respect your opinion."

"Ning Bo, I just came back to find out what's going on at Wutong's side." It's one thing not to see Ning Haicheng. .

"The Wutong side can't be contacted now. Others passed on her story. It's just strange that the Chu family also knew about it, so there was a matter of changing candidates." Ning Yuanshan said: "Major General Chu's phone number is still I took it myself."

"Does he sound angry?" Ning Yao asked.

Ning Yuanshan shook his head, "The voice was very calm, he just said his decision to change, and then hung up."

Ning Yao thought to herself, is it that simple?

"The matter of Wutong has not yet been settled, uncle, this marriage was arranged ten years ago, how can we change people easily." Ning Haicheng interjected.

Ning Yao glanced at him, did not reply, and continued to say to Ning Yuanshan: "Uncle Ning, the matter of Wutong really needs to be investigated. She is not such a reckless person, maybe Ling has hidden secrets. As for the matter of marriage, since the major general personally If you open your mouth, even if the Wutong matter is a misunderstanding, I am afraid there is no way to reverse it."

"From what you mean, cousin, are you determined to marry?" Ning Haicheng said.

Ning Yao narrowed her eyes slightly, touched the hairpin, crossed her fingers on her lap again, and sat up slightly, "What do you mean? It's your sister who has the problem, not me, Ning Yao."

"That's not necessarily true, Brother Ning." As soon as Ning Yao finished speaking, another voice broke in suddenly.When Ning Yao turned her head, she saw Ning Liu, the third uncle of Ning Haicheng, the son of Ning Yuanshan's third brother, walking in.

Ning Liu was only seventeen this year, and he was pretty, but the arrogance in his brows and the not-so-pleasant tone made him look like a spoiled child no matter what.Ning Yao hadn't seen him for several years, and now he suddenly appeared... Ning Yao couldn't help but glance at Ning Haicheng, seeing him sitting in the seat, why didn't she look so calm just now.

Ning Yuanshan frowned when he saw Ning Liu walking in so loudly, "Xiao Liu, we're talking about business, what are you doing here? It's too rude."

Ning Liu was still a little afraid of this uncle, and immediately explained: "Uncle, I just heard that Brother Cheng and Brother Ning are back. I haven't seen you for a long time. Come and have a look. Besides, Brother Ning came in directly just now. .”

"Oh? Did you see it just now?" Ning Yao looked at him with a smile.

"This..." Ning Liu was at a loss for words for a while, he came here after receiving a secret message from Ning Haicheng, where did he see it, "I didn't peek on the sidelines."

Hearing what he said, Ning Haicheng didn't even know what to say.You can answer whatever people ask, so what are you doing honestly?Have a longer brain, okay?

"Oh." Ning Yao blinked the corners of her beautiful eyes, then took a deep look at Ning Haicheng, but didn't say anything.

Ning Haicheng knew that he had lost another move, and secretly hated him, but he didn't show it. Instead, he said to Ning Yuanshan, "Uncle, the third brother is also a member of the clan, so he has the right to listen in on this matter. He is still a child, so it doesn't matter if he listens. "

As a kid, that's an interesting argument.In other words, what he said later would be childish nonsense?Ning Yao licked her dry lips, feeling amused.

Sure enough, before Ning Yuanshan made a statement, Ning Liu spoke up. At this age, this eloquence, tsk tsk, is really a feast for the ears, "Uncle Ning, I also heard about this from my father. Just treat me well. I don’t think she is the kind of person who would make such mistakes. She would consider us even if she was not thinking of herself. I think, maybe someone set a trap for us. The Chu family is powerful. , who doesn’t want to marry into the Chu family and enjoy the glory. And I’ve always been curious, brother Ning, do you know the major general? Why doesn’t he name anyone else, but your name?”

Ning Yao secretly smiled, overtly and secretly, isn't the person who played tricks referring to him.

"If you say I know you, I really know you." Ning Yao looked at Ning Liu straight, with a half-smile, "You, the third uncle's son, is really amazing. He can reason at such a young age."

Seeing that Ning Yao actually admitted that he knew that person, Ning Liu couldn't help being quite proud.What about Ning Yao, who was said to be so terrible, it's because he couldn't refute what he said, "Brother Ning, do you admit it?"

"What do I admit? Let's hear it."

"Ning Liu, don't mess around!" Ning Yuanshan's eyes darkened, he glanced at Ning Liu and then at Ning Haicheng, did these two tricks think he couldn't see it!He still doesn't know how much Ning Liu has.

"Uncle, I'm not fooling around. Although I'm young, I also want to share the worries of the clan." Ning Liu didn't even care about the hints in Ning Haicheng's eyes at this moment, and followed his own words, "Brother Ning No matter how you say it, Major General Chu is Sister Wutong's man, we juniors have always been united, and a friend's wife can't be bullied, what about a man who robs his sister... not so good, and Brother Ning himself is also a man..."

Ning Yao smiled, her eyes were crooked, the brilliance inside was almost overflowing.When Ning Liu saw him, his heart suddenly jumped, and a sense of uneasiness spread instantly.He couldn't help frowning, but the words in his mouth didn't stop, one after another brother Ning, playing family cards one after another, those who didn't know thought how inhumane Ning Yao was.However, at this moment, Ning Yuanshan interrupted his words with a loud drink.

"Enough!" Ning Yuan stood up abruptly from his seat, his face was livid.

Ning Liu was stunned for a moment, no matter what he said, he was targeting Ning Yao, a small offshoot, even if his words were wrong, his uncle always dotes on him, so there is no need to be so angry.

"Uncle, I..."

"Shut up!" Ning Yuanshan was really angry at the moment, who was wronged by Ning Liu, he absolutely shouldn't, and said in front of Ning Yao, "Have you forgotten what your father and I taught you? To be a human being, you must repay your kindness. If it wasn’t for you, Brother Ning, all of you juniors would have died at the hands of others. It’s okay if you don’t feel grateful now, listen to what you say!”

"He...saved my life?" Ning Liu was horrified and speechless. He always thought it was a joke. After all, he was still young at that time and couldn't remember anything. how old.Even if it helps, how big can it go.Moreover, the clan didn't mention that matter much, so Ning Liu never took it to heart.But now, uncle, what did he say?

Ning Haicheng also frowned when he heard the words, he didn't expect that the incident would have such a great impact on his uncle.He was not involved in that incident back then, and the adults didn't want to mention it, so he knew little about it. He only knew that although Ning Yao was a collateral, her status in the clan was not low, and the elders had always been kind to him, but now It seems... If that's the case, he will have to make a new plan.After all, Ning Haicheng is not an idiot, he was easily aroused by Ning Yao's words just now, now he calmed down a little, and his mind immediately became flexible.

Thinking of this, he stood up, with a sincere face, and said: "Uncle, the third brother doesn't know much about that matter, and now he speaks childishly, uncle, don't get so angry and hurt yourself. How about that?" , Let the third brother say sorry to cousin Ning Yao, and this matter will be exposed. Cousin Ning Yao will not care about a child if he thinks about it."

Ning Yuanshan was angry, but after all, both of them are his own nephews, and they really knew little about what happened back then.Hey... But the clan still owes Ning Yao that matter.

"Ning Liu, why don't you apologize to Brother Ning soon." On the other hand, Ning Haicheng quickly winked at Ning Liu.

Ning Liu felt very uncomfortable at the moment, being scolded by his uncle, he didn't say anything, and for no reason put on the label of knowing the favor and not repaying it.His heart was tight with arrogance, usually under the influence of Ning Haicheng and others, he was at odds with Ning Yao, but now Ning Yao really became his savior, his heart was as entangled as he wanted.But under Ning Haicheng's frequent eye hints, Ning Liu still bit the bullet and apologized to Ning Yao.

"Brother Ning, I'm sorry." After finishing speaking, Ning Liu stopped talking and didn't look at Ning Yao.

Ning Yao still sat upright, he didn't care for Ning Liu's apology, nor did he care that they were grateful to him.He would risk his life to save people back then, and he didn't want them.He has been on the verge of life and death all year round because of his missions all these years. If he cares about this little bit of kindness and resentment, wouldn't he be able to die in peace.

However, this does not mean that he is broad-minded enough to be criticized.If you repay grievances with virtue, then how can you repay virtue?
