"What's the problem?"

Seeing his hesitation, Chen Ze couldn't help but ask.

The clerk said: "The mission document is genuine, and there is no problem according to the theory. However, if this is your first time to take the assessment, I only have the authority here to promote you to the first-class counselor."

"So if there's a problem, it's my problem."

Finally, the clerk said with a wry smile.

"so……"

Chen Ze frowned. His mission was the brainchild of Mr. Hua. It is estimated that there is no precedent for this in the Military Aircraft Department. It is not that others are deliberately making things difficult for him.

Is it still possible to go back and find Mr. Hua?

He was pondering here, not thinking that the middle-aged civil servant's service status was very good, so he thought for a while and said: "Your situation is special, let me report it, maybe the head of this department can handle it with the authority."

Chen Ze thanked him, and after waiting quietly in front of the stage for a while, he saw a civil servant leading an imposing middle-aged man striding over.

"Mr. Jing, this is it!"

The clerk respectfully introduced Chen Ze to the other party, and then handed over the mission document.

The people in the military aircraft department did not show their general rank, but when they saw this person appearing, everyone around him saluted respectfully, so his military rank was probably not low.

Mr. Jing didn't say a word, didn't even look at Chen Ze, but focused on the task document.

Shao Qing, he closed the document, stared at Chen Ze, and said in a deep voice: "Did Mr. Hua give you this task?"

Chen Ze responded yes, but unexpectedly Mr. Jing asked again: "What is your relationship with Mr. Hua?"

This question made Chen Ze slightly startled, and then he replied: "It doesn't matter. I am conducting the military rank assessment at the Military Aircraft Department in Bo'an City. Mr. Hua is my chief examiner, that's all."

This is the truth, and Chen Ze certainly feels no guilt, but when he said it, he glanced at Mr. Jing, who had always had a sullen face, and there seemed to be a complex look in his eyes.

Such an expression only passed away in a flash, so that Chen Ze felt that it was his own illusion.

I heard Mr. Jing say: "The document is correct. It was written by Hua Lao himself, and the seal of the Bo'an branch is also correct. So, what is the status of the mission?"

Chen Zelian placed the baggage in his hand on the counter, "This is the head of Qi Sha, the leader of Guijianchou. In addition, a total of seventy-eight of his men were killed, and their bodies were buried in Doman Canyon."

Mr. Jing raised his chin slightly, and the middle-aged clerk next to him unwrapped the baggage with slightly trembling hands, only to see a ferocious white head.

He went back and searched on the mission wall for a while, and pulled out one of the scrolls. Chen Ze glanced at it and saw that the briefing at the bottom of the mission scroll read: Destroy the bandits and ghosts, and the war merit reward is 10,000 yuan.

The clerk opened the scroll, took out a head portrait and carefully compared it with the head on the counter, and then reported to Mr. Jing: "It's Qi Sha!"

Chen Zecai added: "This time we exterminated the remnants of Gui Jianchou and seized a large amount of property from his lair. I only picked out those that are easy to carry and ordered them to be brought out. They are right outside the door."

Mr. Jing took a deep look at him and told the clerk: "Since it is correct, let's go through the promotion procedures for him. Find someone to count the property outside the door, and take out 10% as a reward according to the imperial law."

After saying this, he didn't wait for the clerk to respond, but turned around and left.

"Mr. Jing, please stay!"

Chen Zedao: "I still have something to report!"

"What's the matter?"

Mr. Jing stopped and did not look back.

Chen Zedao: "Can I take a step to speak?"

"Go upstairs."

Mr. Jing said two words lightly, then stepped forward and walked to the second floor.

Of course, Chen Ze was not needed to count the property. There were Meng Yang and others outside who would cooperate with the people from the Military Aircraft Department to count, so he immediately followed them.

The area of ​​the second floor is equivalent to the hall below. It is divided into more than a dozen rooms. The door numbers read different categories such as Intelligence Analysis Department, Archives Room, and Military Aircraft Calculation Room. The doors are also closed, so Chen Ze cannot see what is inside.

Condition.

Mr. Jing, who went upstairs first, walked to the room at the end of the corridor, opened the door, and looked back at Chen Ze.

When Chen Ze also entered the room, he saw that this was Mr. Jing's office. From the table to the chairs to the coffee table for receiving guests, they were all made of black wood, giving him a simple atmosphere.

Mr. Jing stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back. Before Chen Ze could speak, he first asked in a low voice: "Mr. Hua...is he okay?"

Chen Ze was startled, knowing that there was some dispute between the man in front of him and Mr. Hua, but he and Mr. Hua only met once. How could we talk about whether it was good or bad?

Recalling the scene when he first met Mr. Hua that day, he replied: "I drank too much."

"Really?"

Chen Ze actually heard many different emotions from these two simple words spoken by Mr. Jing.

Regret, lamentation, concern, but in addition, there seems to be a trace of... anger?

Just when he didn't understand why, Mr. Jing suddenly turned around, still with that calm and serious face, waved his hand and said: "Okay, you can talk about your business!"

Chen Ze was not a person who liked gossip, so he suppressed the doubts in his heart, straightened out his thoughts, and said loudly: "That's it, this time I received the mission of Mr. Hua to clear out the ghosts and sorrows in the Poison Mist Forest, and then

Discover……"

At the moment, he shared with Mr. Jing what he saw and heard after entering the Poisonous Mist Forest, and even his final analysis.

From beginning to end, Mr. Jing didn't say a word, just listened quietly to Chen Ze's story. It wasn't until his voice fell that he asked, "What should you do about it based on what you saw?"

"Um?"

However, Chen Ze was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, you are not following the routine!

On the way here, he thought about countless situations that he would encounter after reporting the military intelligence. After all, he had no substantive evidence, and his judgment that the Zhu Yan Empire might use people from the Poison Mist Forest to cause trouble was only based on his speculation.

.

As for the only evidence, perhaps it is that Cheng Yu discovered that there was a tail watching behind him.

What does it mean if someone is following me?

If you find that officers and soldiers have entered the Poisonous Mist Forest, isn't it normal to send someone to follow them?

Chen Ze's analysis was only a reasonable inference based on his military qualities in his previous life. The so-called "preparing for danger in times of peace" meant that he was used to considering the worst outcome in everything, and then this result led to various unreasonable anomalies, and finally he came to the following conclusion

in conclusion.

But if his behavior and habits are seen in front of others, there is a high probability that they will be regarded as alarmist.

He was mentally prepared that his inference would not be accepted, and also prepared several methods of proof to persuade him. The only thing he didn't expect was that the other party skipped this step directly.

"Mr. Jing, do you believe what I'm saying?"

Chen Ze said with some doubts.

Mr. Jing did not answer but asked instead: "You left Xiyun City yesterday and entered the Poison Mist Forest, right?"

Chen Ze responded: "Yes."

"In addition to you, another group of people came here from Bo'an City last night, and they brought a piece of news."
