Chapter 19 Your general is online 2
The next morning.
Qi Tan struggled to wake up from his sleep, he opened his eyes, and looked at the electronic light screen next to the bookcase with a little blankness in his black eyes.
It's only before six o'clock in the morning. This body's living habits are very good. It always wakes up very early, and there is no need to set the alarm clock at all.
Perhaps it was because she was tired for a long time, Qi Tan slept very comfortably last night.He went downstairs to wash up briefly, pulled the towel aside to wipe off the water stains on his face, and looked at himself in the mirror quietly.
The young man's skin was very white, even showing a sickly paleness. If they saw him for the first time, almost no one would think that such a thin young man would be a general of the empire.
It even fought the most exciting battle since the empire started this war.
Qi Tan pursed his lips, glanced at his left wrist from the corner of his eyes, paused for a few seconds, and then moved away.The little red mole appeared on his body again, but he clearly remembered that this body did not have this mole before he arrived.
However, Qi Tan didn't really care about it, he wasn't someone who liked to get to the bottom of things, and since the mole hadn't revealed its function yet, and it didn't affect his completion of the task, he didn't bother to care about it.
Qi Tan folded the towel and put it back in its original place, and changed into a black military uniform. After everything was ready, the last trace of laziness on his face disappeared, leaving only the same coldness and indifference as before.
Just at this moment, the same gentle female voice as yesterday sounded again, even the content was exactly the same, "Li Shuo is coming to visit, do you want to meet?"
Qi Tan's movements paused, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, he opened the door of the dormitory.
Admiral Li Shuo was dressed in a black military uniform, which set off his tall and solid figure extremely tall and straight, "Morning, the weather is fine today."
"Morning." Qi Tan nodded and stepped out of the dormitory door.
"Go to the conference room together?" Li Shuo asked with a bright smile on his face.
Qi Tan hummed and walked side by side with him.
The meeting room is a little far from the dormitory area, but both of them got up early, so there was no need to hurry.Li Shuo kept talking along the way, but Qi Tan just responded from time to time, which made Li Shuo's expression even more excited.
Not long after, the two arrived in the meeting room.
Li Shuo seemed to be a little unsatisfied, and seemed to hope that this road would be longer, and there were not many opportunities to be alone with Major General Ling An.
There were already several people waiting in the conference room, Qi Tan greeted them briefly, then sat in his seat, took out the books he carried with him and looked through them.Li Shuo took a seat opposite him, and vaguely caught a glimpse of the book's name.
It was related to the mecha, he knew in his heart that Ling An didn't seem to be very interested in anything other than the mecha.
People came to the conference room one after another, each doing their own thing.
It's not that no one wants to talk to Qi Tan, after all, Qi Tan has just won a battle, but when they saw Qi Tan's obsessive reading, and thought of his usual temperament, they all put away their thoughts.
Marshal Luo Ming was the last to arrive.
Everyone put down what they were doing, stood up collectively, and gave him a military salute.
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense." Marshal Luo Ming waved his hand.
He is a very gentle-looking young man, about in his early 30s, with a pair of gold-rimmed eyes on his slightly thin face, he looks gentle, he looks more like a professor than a famous person in the empire Marshal.
Luo Ming looked in Qi Tan's direction, with a smile that made people feel refreshed, "First of all, please welcome the triumphant return of Major General Ling An."
Everyone's eyes moved to Qi Tan's body, and the applause rang out very unanimously.Regardless of their usual impressions of Qi Tan, it is an undeniable fact that the opponent won the battle. He is a hero of the empire and deserves their respect.
Qi Tan stood up and returned the military salute.
After the meeting room quieted down, Luo Ming coughed lightly, and the expression on his face turned serious, "I think you all know what the purpose of this meeting is."
Qi Tan's expression didn't change, but he laughed lightly in his heart.
Of course, the purpose knew that if it wasn't for this incident, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to return to the empire alone from the front line.
"The empire noticed something was wrong earlier. There are traitors in our base, or in other words, traitors." Marshal Luo Ming lowered his eyes slightly, and when he raised them again, the gentleness in his eyes had dissipated, leaving only endless sharp glances. Everyone present, the scholarly aura disappeared in an instant, making people feel that his aura was extremely oppressive.
Everyone looked at each other in silence, they naturally knew what Marshal Luo Ming meant.Ordinary internal traitors do not attract such attention from the top of the empire, and the important information of the empire is basically circulated among the generals present.In other words, some of them betrayed the Gralei Empire and defected to the enemy Apal Empire.
All of a sudden, the previously harmonious atmosphere became tense. They seemed to feel that something was wrong with each other, as if the other party was the shameful betrayer hidden in the shadow of the empire.
Even so, the meeting must continue.
Marshal Luo Ming appeased everyone, quickly finished the rest of the content, and ended the short-term meeting.
Qi Tan has been listening silently, without making a sound.After the meeting ended, he signaled to Marshal Luo Ming and left the meeting room first.
Li Shuo hurriedly wanted to follow, but was stopped by Marshal Luo Ming, "Li Shuo, stay here for a while."
Li Shuo had no choice but to obey the commander's order. He watched Major General Ling An disappear from his sight with some helplessness, and then turned to Marshal Luo Ming, "Marshal, what are your orders?"
"I heard that you are very close to Major General Ling An?" Luo Ming considered his tone.
There was a clear look of admiration on Li Shuo's face, and then there was a trace of doubt, "It's not very close. You should know that I am pursuing the major general. He is my ideal partner."
"Really..." Marshal Luo Ming pondered for a while, then heaved a heavy sigh, "I know you won't believe it, but Major General Ling An..."
Li Shuo frowned, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.
"Keep an eye on him, this is an order."
Li Shuo's brain suddenly exploded, "Marshal, are you suspicious of the major general?"
Luo Ming was silent, but his expression of approval already showed his attitude.
"It's impossible!" Li Shuo retorted subconsciously, "Major General Ling An is not this kind of person, I know him well. Besides, he just won a battle, didn't he?"
"It's because of this that I am more sure of his abnormality." Marshal Luo Ming did not get angry because of Li Shuo's rebuttal, but explained to him in detail, "You may not have noticed that on the day when Major General Ling An led his troops out For a period of time, the empire’s intelligence has not been lost once.”
Li Shuo still wanted to deny it, "Maybe it's just a coincidence, no, it must be framed by the traitor! He doesn't want Major General Ling An to continue to develop, it will pose a threat to them, it must be like this! Marshal, you must not Being deceived by them, Major General Ling An is not someone who would do that kind of thing!"
His tone was extremely excited, and he was eager to persuade the other party to change his mind.
But Luo Ming just shook his head and continued: "I checked, but all the clues point to Major General Ling An. Do you know? Before Major General Ling An was promoted to general, the empire's intelligence was not leaked out much. The few pieces of news were exactly what the school officer could know. After Ling An was promoted to general, the situation became serious."
Li Shuo gradually began to calm down.
"Important information about the empire has been leaked out one after another. The last few battles have all ended in disastrous defeats, but only Major General Ling An has returned victorious. I would never believe it was a coincidence. It all looks more like Yes..." Marshal Luo Ming paused, but did not continue.
"It's more like it was intentional. The Apal Empire wanted to use this to make Major General Ling An gain power and promote him to a higher rank in order to obtain more important information." Li Shuo gritted his teeth and said one word One sentence is difficult to say.
He still didn't want to believe Marshal Luo Ming's inference, but what the other party said was reasonable, and all the evidence pointed to Major General Ling An, which made his originally firm thoughts start to waver.
Li Shuo knew that he had always liked Ling An. When the other party was still inconspicuous, he had been silently observing the young man holding a mecha book all the time. Fascinated by the color of joy.
But other than that, he really didn't seem to know Ling An. He didn't know what other things Ling An would do besides mecha-related things.
What's more, he believed that Marshal Luo Ming would not lie to him.He and Marshal Luo Ming grew up together. It can be said that he knows the nature of the Marshal much better than anyone else.
Marshal is not the kind of rash person, if he is not [-]% sure, he will never disclose this kind of information to others.
Li Shuo's fists were clenched tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, which showed how much effort he had used.He twitched the corner of his mouth, as if he wanted to show a smile, but failed, "I see, Marshal, I will keep an eye on Major General Ling An."
Li Shuo left the conference room with complicated emotions, his black eyes were dimmed, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and hurried to the empire's information database.
A few hours later, Li Shuo came out of the information library with a livid face, no emotion could be seen in his eyes, but it seemed that some terrible storm was brewing.
Qi Tan, who was far away in the dormitory, learned about the conversation between the two from Qi Er, and twitched the corners of his lips with a soft snort.
It was exactly as he expected.
