Chapter 122: The Red Clothed Female Army (4)

  The negotiations were so simple, completely beyond my expectations. 81 Chinese website ★★．１く．√√ However, the five conditions they put forward, after I and Old Chen discussed them, were told that except for the third condition, all other conditions could be accepted.

  And what I was most worried about, the last condition, that is, the condition of not changing the place of residence, Old Chen agreed without even thinking. On the contrary, it was the condition that I thought Old Chen would agree to let me stay here as a guide, which was rejected by Old Chen in one mouthful.

  I couldn't help but ask the reason: "Isn't it just right for me to stay and monitor them? Why don't you agree to this condition?"

  "You're my man, how can you just run to their side so casually? If Chen Jing finds out, she'll come to bother me every day and I won't have a moment's peace. You don't know, these few days since you left, Chen Jing and the others keep coming here asking where you went, I...I'm almost driven mad by them. You little scamp, hurry back after completing your task, or else my old life will be forfeit."

  I couldn't help but laugh: "So that's the reason, it's simple, I'll just explain it clearly to them and they'll understand."

  "Understand my ass! You young punk, standing there talking without any discomfort. You... you have no idea, now whenever I think of those few girls, immediately one head two big. You'd better come back soon, I'll send someone over to be their instructor, the rank won't be lower than yours now, guaranteed they'll be very happy to accept the new instructor."

  "I immediately asked: 'Who is that person? Could it be someone from Wang Yingzu's side?'"

  Chen Lao smiled and said, "Do you think I'm old and confused? Would I send someone over to be controlled by them? Let me tell you, Wang Yingzu is now being controlled by several people from our military department. The kind of thing that framed you in the past won't happen again."

  I finally put my mind at ease: "That's good. I'll go find the Red Robed Female Master now and have a good talk with her, hoping to get them to join our government military as soon as possible and contribute to the country."

  Chen Lao smiled and said: "Making contributions to the country is secondary, now I know they won't lay a hand on us, getting rid of a major hidden danger is the most important thing."

  I also laughed and then hung up the phone, going straight to find the woman in red.

  The woman in red had been waiting for news from me. When she saw me arrive at her residence, she immediately stood up and said to me: "Is there any news? What did they say?"

  I hastily said: "The conditions you put forward, except for the one that requires me to stay and be your instructor, everything else has been agreed upon."

  The woman in red frowned and said, "What kind of change?"

  "I said seriously: 'Actually, it's just a replacement of me with someone who has a higher status and stronger abilities to be your instructor. To put it bluntly, I'm not qualified enough to be an instructor for the team yet.'"

  The woman in red sighed slightly and said, "It seems that you have misunderstood our intention. We don't want a hostage, nor do we want any guarantee. The reason why we want you to stay and be our advisor is because of your personal ability and charm. Elder, how could you misunderstand?"

  I was stunned and didn't understand what the woman in red meant.

  The woman in red's face turned slightly red, and she said softly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm already this old, not like those young people... What I mean is, we'd rather have you stay than be assigned some high-ranking instructor."

  I smiled and nodded: "I know. It's just that he has his own considerations, he knows I'm not suitable to be your instructor. I... I'm just a material for frontline combat, can't take on important tasks."

  The woman in red sighed slightly: "Now it's useless to say anything, I'll discuss your opinion with our people, and if there's no accident, we can give you the final reply tomorrow."

  "I stand at attention and salute: 'Then I will wait quietly for your response, Master.'"

  The woman in red smiled and said: "Don't be like this, maybe someday I'll still be under your command."

  "I smiled and said: 'That's basically impossible, I still have some self-awareness.'"

  The woman in red sighed again, and suddenly said in a low voice: "Our chief of staff hopes to see you privately, I don't know if you have time to go... it's where you first met, the chief of staff will be waiting for you."

  I was taken aback, and then laughed: "She wouldn't be thinking of settling scores with me after autumn, would she? At the time, I didn't know she was a girl, my hand was a bit heavy, but I wasn't intentional..."

  The woman in red smiled mysteriously and didn't say another word...

  I didn't know why General Han Yi, who looked very much like a man, wanted to see me, but I also knew that not going to see him would be unacceptable. So I had no choice but to find some time and come alone to the room where we first met, raise my hand and knock on the door.

  Knowing she's a girl, I certainly can't just barge in like last time. Knocking on the door is the least courtesy.

  "Come in." Han Yi's voice quickly sounded, her voice was still very feminine, and it felt comfortable staying in my ears.

  I slowly pushed open the door and walked in: "Director Han, you wanted to see me about something?"

  Han Yi was dressed in military uniform, sitting with his back to me, seemingly reading some documents. Upon hearing my words, he said without lifting his head: "Sit down, I'll be done in a moment, wait for me."

  I nodded and didn't care if she could see me or not, and sat down by myself. This room originally had no furniture, but now there were some added, including the chair I was sitting on, which clearly had been moved in recently.

  Three minutes later, Han Yi finally finished reading the documents in her hand and said without lifting her head: "Can't you stay?"

  I knew it must have been the woman in red who had contacted her and told her everything, so it wasn't surprising that she knew I couldn't stay: "You should know what's going on."

  Han Yi let out a soft sigh: "It would be great if you could stay... I really can't take care of all the brothers and sisters in our school by myself..."

  I heard her tone and it seemed like she was worried about something, so I said: "Don't worry, the company will send someone who is more capable than me to assist you."

  Han Yi smiled: "Someone with abilities stronger than yours? Who is that? Do you know him?"

  I'm getting a bit overwhelmed, so I can only honestly say: "What Chen Lao told me was that whoever it is, I don't know, but they shouldn't be worse than my abilities."

  "He nodded slightly: 'Then you can go now, your task is already completed, there's no need to stay here anymore.'"

  I was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "I'm still waiting for your final reply, my task doesn't seem to be completed yet..."

  Han Yi slowly turned around and looked at me, saying: "Don't you understand what I mean?"

  I was just about to ask her what she meant, but suddenly I froze. Before my eyes, who was that Han Yi? Clearly it was someone I had never seen before.

  But her voice was unmistakably Han Yi's.

  I was stunned, staring at this strange familiar person, and didn't know what to do.

  The person in front of me is completely different from the Han Yi I've seen before. The Han Yi I saw before was very masculine and had nothing in common with women. But this person now, although not a great beauty, looks like a delicate and elegant military flower.

  So I just stood there, until someone coldly said: "Have you seen enough?"

  I was startled awake by this sentence and realized my mistake. I quickly said, "Sorry, I... I thought you were Han Yi... Where's Han Yi? Who are you?"

  The military officer in front of me suddenly smiled: "So you're still a fool... I'm Han Yi, how come you don't recognize me so soon?"

  I listened to her words and was suddenly stunned. This voice, it was unmistakably Han Yi's. So I tentatively asked: "Are you really Han Yi?"

  Han Yi nodded and said with a hint of helplessness: "What do you want me to do to make you believe I'm really Han Yi? Can't you recognize my voice?"

  "But you didn't used to be like this..."

  "That's just a simple disguise, wearing a mask. Someone as astute as you can't even tell the difference, it's a bit disappointing..."

  I took a closer look at Han Yi again and finally sighed with a bitter smile: "It seems that it's really you, your mouth is still so sharp."

  Han Yi smiled and said: "So you're sure I'm Han Yi? Next time we meet, don't forget me again, okay?"

  I was about to speak when I suddenly remembered an ancient and long-lost martial arts school that specialized in the art of disguise, known as the Qianbian Gate. This is an old Jianghu school, most of whose members are proficient in the art of disguise, and ordinary people can't really remember their appearance because it changes all the time. It's just that there hasn't been any news about them in recent years, and I thought they had already disappeared into the vast ocean of history. I didn't expect to meet a descendant of the Qianbian Gate today. That's why I didn't think of the Qianbian Gate in time, let alone recognize its disciple, Han Yi.

  "So I frowned and said: 'So you are a disciple of the Thousand Changes Gate, no wonder I didn't notice that you had disguised yourself last time.'"

  Han Yi let out a "hmmph" sound: "As expected, you're indeed the eldest disciple of Wudang Sect. You've finally thought of my sect. That's right, I'm a disciple of Qianbianmen. How about it? Isn't my disguise technique more brilliant than those Japanese pirates?"

  I let out a soft sigh and spoke the truth: "Each has its own strengths. Don't underestimate the Japanese pirates, their stealth techniques and disguise skills, although they were passed down from our China, but over the years, they have actually dug up even more powerful things. Now, they are already slightly surpassing us."

  Han Yi nodded slightly: "I've noticed this too. Last time, I encountered a Japanese pirate who was proficient in disguise techniques. The pirate's skills in disguise were so impressive that even I felt a bit ashamed. They place great emphasis on cultivating this aspect, and it's true that they have surpassed us, the original creators. If our country doesn't start paying attention to this area, we might really be surpassed by the Japanese pirates in the next few years or decades."

  I said with concern: "So our Wudang sect has now recruited many new disciples and re-emphasized the cultivation of Chinese martial arts. I really hope that all Chinese martial arts schools can do the same, making a contribution to the peace of China."

  Han Yi said: "To truly make Chinese martial arts prosperous, the country must take the lead. Only when the country attaches importance to it can Chinese martial arts truly rise again."

  I share the same feeling, so I said: "I hope our country's leaders can pay attention to this point, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable. At present, our country is surrounded by powerful enemies and is already in a precarious situation. If the Japanese pirates surpass us in martial arts, the consequences..."

  Han Yi said seriously: "That's why we compromised. Otherwise, I wouldn't have agreed to join the government army if you hadn't stayed behind."

  I looked at Han Yi's serious face and suddenly thought of a very serious question: "What you just said, does it mean that you have already agreed to our previous replacement of personnel to come here as instructors?"

  Han Yi immediately regained his composure, nodded and said: "That's what I mean. Jin Cang, don't you really want to stay? Even if it's me... personally asking you to stay, won't you agree?"

  I understood what she meant by her words, which seemed to have an ulterior motive. I'm not a fool and wouldn't miss the implication. However, since things have come this far, all I could do was say directly: "Since it's the superior's order, I also can't disobey... We'll still have chances to meet again, only next time I'll have to salute you... Haha..."

  Han Yi smiled slightly and said with a carefree tone, "That's not necessarily true, maybe it's me who should be giving you respect! I have high hopes for you, sooner or later, you will achieve something."

  I smiled and said: "Thank you for your encouragement, I hope so."

  After saying this, I turned around and was about to leave, but Han Yi suddenly said: "You're just going to leave like that?"

  I turned back and looked at her, thought of something, and smiled: "Ah, I forgot, should have said goodbye to you. Well... goodbye, Chief of Staff."

  Han Yi bit her lip and suddenly pounced on me, embracing me in an instant. I could have taken a step back to avoid it, but for some reason, I didn't retreat. Being held by Han Yi gave me a very special feeling, making me feel both comfortable and worried at the same time. As for what exactly I was worried about, even I wasn't sure anymore.

  Han Yi hugged me and whispered: "You will remember me, won't you?"

  I don't know how to answer anymore, and I haven't spoken for a long time.

  After a while, Han Yi slowly let go of me and said expressionlessly: "We are already friends, so it's normal to hug each other when we part ways, don't think too much about it."

  I couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh and said: "I'd rather not think about it, but you... Alas, what's the point of this?"

  Han Yi saw my bitter smile and suddenly burst out laughing: "So what do you plan to do? Marry me as your wife or kill me to avenge your white hair?"

  I was speechless and turned around to run away. This Han Yi is really too weird, not my type...

  But I underestimated Han Yi's strength, as soon as I turned around, she grabbed me with one hand and said: "Don't move, I don't know kung fu, you just need to make a slight movement, I will get hurt."

  I stood still in dismay, looking at Han Yi who had already grabbed me, and said softly: "Aren't you afraid that others will rush in and see us like this?"

  "They all think I'm a man's wife and won't bother me with what I'm doing, so they planned to turn this place upside down, and no one will care about us."

  I forced a smile and said: "Then what exactly do you want? Are you really asking me to marry you? I already have a girlfriend, you know."

  "Having a girlfriend? What's that supposed to mean? As long as you're not married, you're free, and I can pursue you. Don't try to scare me off with this, at worst I'll go tell your girlfriend something and have her break up with you."

  "I felt a surge of anger and couldn't help but raise my voice: 'How can this be? You... stop messing around, okay?'"

  Han Yi suddenly said with a sob: "When did I mess around? You broke into my room, pushed me to the bed and tied me up... It's not like I seduced you, why do you tell me not to mess around?"

  I was taken aback, remembering the first time I met her, I indeed roughly pushed her onto the bed and even tied her up. But at that time, how could I have known she was a female warrior? I thought she was just an ordinary soldier. Now it's all right, there's no use explaining, I can only plead for mercy: "That time was my fault, you...just forgive me, okay?"

  Han Yi "cut" in: "If you were a girl and I, as a man, did that to you, would you let the other party off like this?"

  I opened my mouth, ready to argue, but suddenly saw the smile in Han Yi's eyes, and realized she was just joking with me. So I said: "Then I'll just marry him directly, what's the fuss about? Anyway, it's inevitable that I'll get married."

  Han Yi was taken aback, then suddenly understood something. As he let me go, he also laughed and said: "But what if the other person doesn't like you at all? Are you going to stick to him shamelessly?"

  I nodded vigorously: "That's...impossible!"

  Han Yi thought I would say "of course", but unexpectedly, I suddenly changed my words and was let in, opening my mouth to say: "How is it impossible? Am I not entwining you?"

  I laughed and looked at Han Yi, who also laughed. Han Yi was taken aback again, then his face turned bright red as he said: "What are you laughing at? I... I just like you, so what?"

  I laughed and said: "That's simple, do you want me to marry you as my wife or be your underground lover? Both are up to you, I have no opinion."

  Han Yi heard this and immediately glared at me, saying: "Do you think I'm an idiot? I'd rather throw you down the mountain to feed the wolves..."

  I saw that she seemed to be really angry, so I said: "That's okay, but you'll become a murderer then. I think someone will come to find you and give their life for mine. We couldn't be together when we were alive, but after we die, maybe..."

  Before I could finish speaking, Han Yi suddenly said "hush" and loudly said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Don't say unlucky words."

  I smiled slightly and said, "That's okay too. Hehe..." Then I spoke seriously, "I'm really happy to get to know you, but I actually have a girlfriend already, so let's just be friends."

  Han Yi sneered: "Who wants to be your friend, don't be self-righteous. If I want to, I'll be your girlfriend, apart from that, don't say anything else."

  I secretly cursed my bad luck, knowing that this Han Yi was a stubborn person, and suddenly I didn't know what to do.

  Han Yi said, "If you think I'm not good enough for you, then...". She suddenly raised her voice and shouted loudly: "I don't believe it, there's no man in this world who looks down on me. Jin Cang, don't think you're so great, let me tell you the truth, if I wanted to find a boyfriend, I don't know how many people would be lining up waiting for me to choose, you'd better not be ungrateful. You should know that if you miss this chance, there won't be another one."

  I couldn't help but let out a wry smile again, then surrendered voluntarily: "I guess I've had enough of you, even joking around can be deadly with you."

  Han Yi also smiled: "Who told you to tie me up last time? This is just a small punishment for you. If there's a next time, it won't be so simple, I might directly knock you down."

  I knew Han Yi was joking, but I didn't feel any ease in the joke, and subconsciously said: "I won't dare to do it again..."

  Han Yi smiled triumphantly and waved his hand, saying: "This time I'll let you off, you can go..."

  I felt like I had been granted a great pardon, and hastily turned around, running away as if for my life.

  It was just that I didn't know at the time, in the instant when I turned around, a single teardrop, clearly fell from the corner of Han Yi's eye...
