Tan Yan really said what he said.

That night, Wu Qiao saw Amandin coming with a gift.

"You want to eat." She said.

"Thank you." Wu Qiao smiled and asked again, "Did you buy it? Or did you make it?"

"...I made it." Amandine reluctantly said, "We have worked together for two months, and you have helped me a lot. This time you were seriously injured by accident. I heard that you want to eat some of this. I did it myself and brought it... the ones outside." Tan Yan told her to make it by herself, which made Amandine very reluctant. However, if it was bought, it would be easy if Wu Qiao asked in detail. Was demolished.

"It's really too much trouble for you." Wu Qiao looked at Amandin and said very sincerely, "Considering so much."

"...It's okay."

"It looks delicious."

"...I think it should be pretty good." Amandine didn't want to be used as a shield, and said a little mischievously, "The general has some unique skills."

"Haha," Wu Qiao said with a smile, "he has already told you, what kind of unique skill?"

"..." Amandine suddenly felt a little weak.

Two days later, Wu Qiao received a letter, which turned out to be Akash.

Wu Qiao knew every word in the letter, but when put together, Wu Qiao didn't understand what the other party was saying.

Akash’s letter clearly stated:

[Wu Qiao:

Your performance while training in the field impressed me. I wanted to kill you, but now I want to save you. In order to thank you for trying to keep me out of the crisis, I think it is necessary for you to understand some hidden truths, lest your blood drain meaninglessly.

Give up the idea of ​​serving the empire, the empire is not worthy of dedication at all. When I was five years old, the empire destroyed me, even my underage brothers and sisters. I realized this at that time.

If you want to know more about the hidden ugliness, I am happy to share my experience with you, but only if you don’t give the letter to the Imperial Army. 】"…"What is this?

Aquash... how could such a letter be sent?

Has the military found it? Wu Qiao thinks that there is probably none. Although the military can monitor everyone's letters, it doesn't really open every letter. For the letters of students who don't have any important information in their hands, they don't pay much attention to it.

Before he could react from the shock, Tan Yan appeared in his ward for the second time since Wu Qiao was seriously injured.

His expression is very solemn.

"What's wrong?" Wu Qiao asked, "What happened?"

"The worst prediction has become reality." Tan Yan's voice was a little tired. "Some of your new students are unpredictable. Once they know the location, they will notify Xianglong Wings."

Wu Qiao froze there. He asked: "...Do you know who it is?"

"I know." Tan Yan paused, "It's Akash."

"...!!!" The feeling after receiving the letter was finally confirmed to become a reality. Wu Qiao did not give up and asked again: "Are you sure there is nothing wrong?!"

Because, Akash he... doesn't look like it at all. That person is always stupid, and always very enthusiastic. No matter who has any difficulties, Akash tries his best to help. His results have not been very good, only a little better than Sheng Chongguang and Helena.

Wu Qiao thought: Maybe someone is blaming him, and that letter was written by someone else.

"No." Tan Yan replied, "He ran away by himself. We didn't focus on investigating him at the beginning, and we didn't take strict precautions, but his ability to escape is still very shocking."

"What do you mean?"

"His lack of strength is all pretended." Tan Yan explained, "Actually... his strength is far beyond your imagination. He probably has experienced years of devil training."

"...I don't understand." Wu Qiao was in a daze, "Aquash him, why did he join Xianglong Wings?!"

Everyone knows that the organization is extremely cruel, why would a normal person go there?

Wu Qiao remembered the letter again. Could it be that the empire has really done something? Will he join the wings of the dragon, just to target the empire?

"We are investigating. But their group of people, usually there is no logic at all, maybe they are just bloodthirsty by nature."

"...Actually," Wu Qiao showed Tan Yan the screen, "Just...I received this."

"...?" Tan Yan leaned forward.

"He said that the empire once destroyed him...when he was five years old."

At this time, Tan Yan also finished reading the letter. His eyes became a little erratic, as if he was recalling something: "...is it him?"

Wu Qiao asked: "Can I know who "he" is?"

"I don't know the exact process. It was before I entered the military department." Tan Yan replied, "If what Akash said is true, then...his father once betrayed the empire."

"...?"

"Aquash's father was once a chess move of the empire in the Republic, and pretended to be a Republican and got into the Republican Army."

"Hmm." In order to steal information...this is also quite normal.

"Later his identity was exposed, and the Republic imprisoned him."

"Ok."

"Faced with threats and temptations, he chose to betray the empire and decided to say everything he knew, but...another imperial soldier in the Republican Army learned about this and killed him with a mortal heart. Up."

"..."

"After the empire got the news, he went to his home to find his family as soon as possible, so that his family could return to the empire immediately. At that time, the Republic had not taken any action against his family. We guess it was because he didn’t want to say it until he reached a full agreement with the Republic. Let’s go to the monk’s place. Of course, he didn’t expect the Empire to get information about his rebellion so soon. However, facing the people of the Empire, his wife said... I don’t want to have any ties with the Imperial Army. She said that at the beginning, It was all because of her husband who joined the Imperial Army. Now that her husband is dead, they don’t have to continue their mission and live a life of fear and fear. His mother has the same opinion."

"...I can understand their thoughts."

"However, this family knows too much about the empire, and the empire cannot let it leave. It is almost impossible to get this family back to the empire under the eyes of the Republic, and send some people to stare at them in the Republic every day and night. It’s also very unrealistic, plus... the imperial person who handled this matter was Bill. He was a man who didn’t talk about emotions but only wanted results. The famous saying was “If you have awe of life, you can’t be a good soldier.” At that time It was he... who ordered the extinguishment of the door and eradicate the troubles forever. Those who died included his wife, two children, mother and younger brother."

"But," Wu Qiao said blankly, "they are innocent."

"...Yes." Tan Yan's voice was not loud. "The person who carried out this order was my friend... After that, he resigned from the military department. He has been brooding about it all his life and has been suffering for many years."

"..."

"There are people alive, too," Tan Yan continued. "At that time, because he couldn't get it done, he left the other party's youngest child and gave him to a friend to raise him."

"and then?"

"Looking at the review now, his softheartedness at that time caused the empire to suffer a very serious blow. The Republic did not know what method it used to find out where the child was, and forced him to describe where his father usually went and where he had friends. Who."

"..." Wu Qiao didn't know what to say.

"So, if Akash is that kid, everything can be explained. He hates the empire and doesn't like the Republic, so he chooses to join the Serpent Wings and take revenge on the empire."

"Yeah." Wu Qiao repeatedly recalled what Akash had said and done in his mind. In any case, he couldn't see that Akash had always been thinking of "revenging the empire."

"Wu Qiao," talked over there in a soft voice, "Bill has been dead for many years, you...don't doubt the empire because of a certain person or because of a very special thing."

"...Well," Wu Qiao replied, "I won't."

Helping the empire win the war and restoring peace to it has been Wu Qiao's dream since he was a child. Years of war have left everyone uneasy and tired, and Wu Qiao has always wanted to end this. Tan Yan once asked him why he was so stubborn and didn't even give up 0.01%. At that time, Wu Qiao's answer was that everything depends on how much you want to do that-whether you want to do it a little bit, or really want it. If the desire for something is like a drowning person's desire to breathe, then nothing can stop you. So now, although what I heard was very shocking, it wouldn't make him shake his ideals.

"That's good." Tan Yan hesitated, then said again, "Actually, I am a little worried about you."

"what?"

"See what he means, and I will contact you again. If you don't want to, I'm afraid he will still be murderous, because you will indeed grow into the driver that the empire needs."

"Actually..." Wu Qiao looked at Tan Yan and said cautiously, "Maybe I can pretend to be interested..."

"No." Tan Yan refused without saying anything. "Do you want to join Xianglong Wings to get news? That fact is too dangerous."

Tan Yan feels that this Wu Qiao is...I don't know what to say. Obviously he was only a student, but he was too courageous. When he encountered a biological weapon a few days ago, he let others go first, and today he wanted to go to Xianglong's Wings to get information.

"…Oh."

"That's right." Tan Yan changed the subject, "You have credit for the field training. Do you want anything?"

"No."

"Then I'll just choose something to reward you." Tan Yan smiled, "How about a communication robot?"

"Communication robot?"

"Yes." Tan Yan said again, "Its face is a screen. After connecting, you can see the other person's face."

"Isn't the communication equipment the same?"

"It's not the same." Tan Yan said, "It's a robot with more immersive interaction. For example, the robot can always follow you without delaying you from doing things. It can also hug you and touch you. "

"..." Wu Qiao was silent and said, "Forget it. I don't know who would want to hug me and touch me."
