Chapter 868 Loyalty
Although there are more than one soldier buried in this cemetery, there should be a majestic and heroic spirit, but the weather is really bad. There are very low dark clouds above the head, coupled with the sudden big and small snowstorms, making the light very poor , the visibility is not high, and it still has some gloomy meaning. The gray and black tombstones are indistinct in the dim light. If someone with rich imagination sees it, they may think of wearing a black robe. the Grim Reaper.

Generally speaking, no one living in this medium-sized city would rush to visit the grave in such bad weather. The ice blade-like wind split the conversation between Pasinkova and Marikina into fragments. The only sound of life and vitality in the silent cemetery does not mean that there are only two living people in the cemetery.

At a position 30 meters south of Pasinkova and Marikina, there is an unremarkable tomb. The name and identity of the owner of the tomb are not important. The wind and snow blow from the north, and the large tombstone provides a small grave. There is a small area on the back of the tombstone that is clear of snow.

However, if you look closely, something weird will happen, because some scattered snowflakes suddenly freeze in the air when they float to the back of the tombstone, as if there is something invisible in the air.Just one or two snowflakes, as the wind and snow continued, a hollow outline outlined by the snowflakes gradually appeared on the back of the tombstone. Leaning against the tombstone in a half-standing, half-reclining posture, she should be a woman in terms of body shape.

If the timid saw it, they would definitely scream in fright, thinking it was a ghost appearing—otherwise, if it wasn't a ghost, what else could it be?Is it an invisible person?
But it seems that they are really people, and ghosts are ethereal things. I have never heard that ghosts will be covered with snow... Leaving aside the issue of invisibility, although tombstones can resist wind and snow to a certain extent, they are only in the cold. Keeping the same posture motionless for a long time in such an environment, like a lifeless sculpture, is beyond human capabilities.

If it wasn't for the bad weather and the snowstorm, this person's invisibility would have been almost perfect, but even if he was outlined by the snowflakes, fortunately, the light was dim, and there were so many tombstones of all shapes and sizes in the cemetery. Who would happen to be next to this tombstone to observe?The probability of being discovered is infinitely close to zero.

So this person was probably overly cautious. The two people were still talking more than 20 meters away on the other side of the tombstone. She changed her posture a little bit and shook the snow on her body. It should be fine, but she never moved because she knew The identities of the two interlocutors, knowing that one of them is General Pasinkova, no matter how cautious she is, it is precisely because it is General Pasinkova that she will be there in person, especially when it is related to the matter. The deal she made with Marikina.

Long before Pasinkova and Marikina arrived at the cemetery, the Sovereign arrived here first. As early as Pasinkova and Marikina left Kamchatka Peninsula and took the Siberian train, the pre-arranged ninjas were there. Having already grasped Pasinkova's whereabouts, the suzerain judged that their destination was Pasinkova's hometown, and she also found out that Pasinkova has no close blood relatives, so it is likely that they came to visit the grave To pay homage is to come to the cemetery first to ambush.

The suzerain did not come to fight with Pasinkova, she came to ask for the payment—Marikina, but she never found a suitable opportunity to show up that would not cause Pasinkova to misunderstand. The sacrifice was over and she was about to leave the cemetery, but the suzerain still did not act, because she knew that there were not only the three of them in the cemetery, and she didn't want to be a praying mantis catching cicadas.

The cemetery is built on hills, and on the side mounds, there are snowdrifts that were cleared and piled up by the cemetery managers. Each snowdrift seems to be the same except for the size, but the suzerain's eyesight is extremely vicious, The most important thing is that she came early, and she knew that there was another person ambushing there, and the target of the ambush was undoubtedly General Pasinkova.

The suzerain has never fought against Pasinkova, but various sources of information indicate that Pasinkova has a reputation of being worthy of a man, and in a head-on confrontation, no one is likely to be her opponent, even in her Now that the strength has been weakened, the identity of another ambush is very interesting. The suzerain did not expect to have additional gains today. She has the patience to wait, because the patience of the other ambush is not very strong. Won't make her wait too long.

It took a long time for Marikina to pluck up the courage to say these words. When Pasinkova was remembering her parents just now, she had been struggling with whether to say it, and whether it would be abrupt, but she I still decided to say it, because she didn't make it up. What she saw and felt at the general's house in the past two days, the bits and pieces of the relationship between the general and his family in the past, all pointed to this result. She really hoped that she could also There are such parents.

Pasinkova stared into the distance and remained silent for a long time, then whispered, "Is that so?"

Marikina blushed and argued, "General, although I haven't met your parents, I'm not talking nonsense..."

"I know, maybe you're right, I've never thought about it." Pasinkova said, "Thank you for reminding me, otherwise I may have been misunderstood."

Standing in front of the tombstone, Pasinkova seemed to be making a promise to her parents’ portraits, as well as a promise to Marikina, “I will cherish my second life and will not die lightly.”

Marikina breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still worried, and asked again: "General, when is the anniversary of your parents' death? Let's visit the grave together on the day of the death?"

Pasinkova knew that she wanted more and more realistic promises. She smiled and was about to speak when she suddenly felt strange. She had experienced many battles before becoming a general, and her fighting instincts did not slacken.

"Who?" She asked Fengxue warily.

Marikina was stunned. Could there be a third party in this deserted cemetery?
Before Pasinkova finished her sentence, in the light with low visibility, a snowdrift at the end of her line of sight suddenly moved. In other words, before the "snow" pile moved, Marikina thought it was a snowdrift.

When she first saw that figure, Marikina almost cried out—there is a bear!Because the figure was tall and wide, and her vision was blurred by the wind and snow, she took that figure as a brown bear.

But after taking a closer look, she realized that it was not a bear. Although it looked alike, it should be a person, a big and sturdy man.

"Major Granite?" Pasinkova recognized the man's identity.

That's right, the tall figure that Marikina mistook for a brown bear was Major Granite.

"General, long time no see."

Major Granite had been sitting in the snow for a long time, her whole body was covered with snow, and even her voice became very cold. She brushed the snow off her body, and she finally looked like a human being.

Marikina looked at the general, and then at that person. This turned out to be...a woman?It's not that she doesn't believe it, but this person doesn't look like a woman at all, okay?
"I'm no longer a general." Pasinkova shook her head.

Marikina felt that the atmosphere between the two was a bit weird. It stands to reason that they seemed to know each other, and it sounded like Major Granite might have been a subordinate of the general at one time, but after the meeting, there seemed to be no enthusiasm between the two. There was no gesture of going up to shake hands and hug, and this Major Granite came early in the morning, but has been sneaking and hiding, which is very suspicious in the first place.

Major Granite didn't answer. She lifted her leather hat, scratched her ears, and scratched her chin, as if she was in distress and didn't know how to speak.

In the end, it was Pasinkova who said, "Did Moscow send you here?"

Major Granite still didn't speak, but this was tantamount to tacit agreement.

"Sure enough." Pasinkova smiled relievedly, "I don't think Moscow will let me go so easily."

Maritina, who had been ignorant since the appearance of Major Granite, suddenly seemed to understand something when she heard this sentence, and said anxiously, "General! This man...is here to kill you?"

Pasinkova laughed at herself and said, "The word 'kill' doesn't sound very elegant. I guess the order the major received was probably 'make sure I don't leak the secret'?"

Only the dead don't reveal secrets.

Marikina was startled and angry, "They... how could they do this? Crossing the river and demolishing bridges? Dismantling mills and killing donkeys? General, you have made so many contributions in the past, can it be written off?"

From the moment Major Granite appeared, Pasinkova had already guessed what was going on, and she might even have a premonition, and said calmly: "Because I know too many military secrets, Moscow has no choice."

"but……"

"But that's not the whole reason." Pasinkova stared at Major Granite, "The most important thing is that Moscow wants to know whether you are still loyal, right?"

Major Granite remained silent.

When Marikina heard this, she seemed to understand. On the way on the train, the general mentioned that she had a guard regiment composed of extraordinary fighters, which was formed and trained by her, and this Major Granite should be the A member of the Guards, and probably one of the best.

Moscow sent Major Granite to carry out the assassination mission, killing two birds with one stone, and wanted to see if the major would carry out the order.

They wanted to know whether the surname of this guard army was "Pa" or "Mo", just like the Yue family army trained by Yue Fei, whether the surname was "Yue" or "Song".

This is not only an assassination mission, but also a touchstone of loyalty.

Major Granite's silent and embarrassed attitude proved that Pasinkova was right.
