Sir Chen, your wife is missing!

"duang——"

The next scene was quite dramatic, as the attacker was hit in the face by the rebound of his own weapon.

With a muffled groan, the soldier caught sight of the commander of the arrest operation standing next to him and immediately turned pale with fright.

"Major...how are you..."

"Get out of the way."

"Yes……"

The soldier who hit someone was scolded by his superior, and he lost his arrogant attitude and stood aside quietly without saying a word. The difference in rank between an ordinary non-commissioned officer and a major is not just one or two levels, and it is not so easy to cross.

It is said that a higher-ranking official can crush people to death, and those with lower positions cannot be tough.

Seeing that the arrogant soldier was scared away by his brother, Feng Qingyu actually felt a little happy.

"Good morning, my brother."

"..."

The major was speechless for a moment. He knew Feng Qingyu had deliberately shouted like that in front of a group of people. Although he didn't mind it, he was also worried that the Tara people would retaliate.

Now the Tara people in Xiaoqiu County are very anxious. From time to time, garrison soldiers are attacked, and people known to the garrison are also attacked.

The relationship between the two sides has reached a new level of tension, and conflicts and battles are imminent.

Therefore, the major was angry and annoyed with Feng Qingyu's behavior. She called him "brother" in front of so many Tara people, which was simply putting herself in the spotlight.

"Are you an idiot, Feng Qingyu? You are not worried about being killed by the Tara people, but I am. On the day your mother died, I promised to protect you when you grow up and keep you away from Victoria's gossip. Don't let me break my promise. Go quickly and don't let those Tara people remember your face."

The major pushed Feng Qingyu towards the street corner, looking panicked, as if some terrible monster was chasing him.

The Tara people behind him all looked at everyone except them with hatred. It was a real, hateful look, like a cold arrow, piercing the heart of the person being looked at.

That “threshold” has almost been reached, and the water in the pot is already boiling, waiting to overflow.

The situation was far more serious than Feng Qingyu had thought. As soon as she retreated to the street corner, someone threw stones at her and the major. She was prone to injury, and the stone hit her forehead, causing a cut and bleeding.

"Wow...what happened?"

The sudden attack left people completely unprepared and unable to react.

The person throwing the stone did not stop his rampage and continued to throw. This time Feng Qingyu was in good condition and used his knife to block the stone.

Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a few short figures hiding in the dark. They didn't look like adults, so they must be young children.

Adults don't dare to throw stones openly when a large number of troops appear together, for fear that such action will affect themselves. Children don't think too much, they just throw stones and that's it. If they can injure the "bad guys", they will consider it a victory.

The major was also hit by several stones, but they didn't hit his head or face. All of them hit his body. Even so, it was painful to be hit by stones on the body. Those kids used all their strength.

"These little *Victorian greetings* whelps!"

The Major was neutral between the Tara people and the Victorians, neither supporting nor discriminating against any of them, but he could not help being angry at being treated like this.

"Catch them all!"

At his command, the troublesome children were surrounded by soldiers. The timid ones were so scared that they trembled and bit their lower lips.

Soon, several soldiers came over, dragging the children with them, cursing and looking very arrogant.

"Major, what are we going to do with these little Tara scum? Arrest them or shoot them on the spot?"

Hearing the word "shooting", Feng Qingyu and the children were frightened. Shooting means death, and those children are still young, about ten to fifteen years old, none of them are adults, this kind of treatment is really cruel.

Their behavior just now was inappropriate, but it did not warrant the death penalty.

“Major… No, brother, brother, Onii-chan, don’t be impulsive… They are all children. A verbal warning is enough. It’s not necessary to shoot them. For my sake, forgive them.”

She was so excited that she forgot to cover the bleeding wound, and the blood blurred her eyes and flowed all over her face. Even her clothes were not spared and were stained with bright red blood drops.

It doesn’t matter if black clothes get stained, but white clothes are fatal.

The major quickly handed a handkerchief to his stupid sister and said angrily: "Cover the wound first. I didn't say I was really going to shoot you. Why are you so nervous *Victoria swear*?"

Feng Qingyu took the handkerchief with a smile.

"Well, release them first. I'll find a hospital to bandage them later. I want to see them go home with my own eyes, and I won't feel at ease until you lead the team to evacuate."

"..."

The major suddenly didn't know what to say to someone like her. Is this guy so kind that he has no bottom line?

If it were any other senior garrison officer, the little devil who threw the stone would have been dead. To them, as long as they were from Tara, no matter if they were adults or children, their blood was extremely despicable and dirty, and they deserved to die regardless of whether they made a mistake or not.

"For your sake, I won't pursue the matter. Let him go."

At the major's command, the soldiers were reluctant but could not say anything.

The captured Tara children were freed, and each of them felt as if they had been pardoned. They ran to hide behind the adults, fearing that they would experience the danger again.

They understood what "shoot to death" meant, and fired a bullet. For a few children, being shot to death for throwing a stone was something that could not be explained by common sense.

Today's arrest operation caused a lot of panic among the Tara people, and it was one step closer to the intensification of the conflict. Feng Qingyu saw some other emotions in their eyes besides fear.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance. The people of Tara may very well be the next to be infected, waiting for an organization like the Integration Movement to come forward and save them.

……

The arrest operation was over and the army temporarily withdrew from District 17. The soldiers in gray uniforms had gone away, but the neighborhood was still shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.

Feng Qingyu refused the suggestion to leave with the major and go to the barracks to find a military doctor. When she met Willow, Bagpipe and Horn across the street, the three were shocked by her appearance.

"Wow, Miss Fengfeng, what happened to you? Did someone beat you up?"

"It's a long story... Is there a hospital nearby? If it's convenient, can you accompany me to treat my wound first? I can't see the road clearly now."

"Slow down, I'll help you."

Bagpipe actively acted as Feng Qingyu's guardian angel, and Willow and Horn accompanied her to the nearest Mary Hospital.

Thirty-six random love stories

Queen Mary Hospital lobby.

There are more people coming to the hospital for treatment than expected. It is worth noting that most of these people are soldiers from Xiaoqiu County, and their identities can be identified by the uniforms they wear.

To be precise, these people did not come to the hospital because they were ill, but because they were injured. Netizens joked that being a Victorian soldier was a high-risk profession, and they might be killed by the Tara people one day.

Given the situation, when the risk to soldiers is indeed higher than usual, attacks against soldiers have occurred one after another, and the Victoria Daily News has even published a special feature on this.

Feng Di helped Feng Qingyu sit down, and Willow offered to help register and find a doctor she knew. While waiting, Horn took the opportunity to ask a question while Feng Di went to buy bottled water.

"What is your relationship with Major Drake?"

"Ah? Major Drake..."

Feng Qingyu was stunned for a moment before she realized who was talking about her. In her heart, she called that man Feng Qingyao. He also had a Yan countryman's face, and it was very inappropriate for him to give himself a foreign name.

"Major Drake is my brother. We are siblings. I only found out about this last night. It was so sudden..."

Horn compared the photo of the major in his hand with Feng Qingyu's appearance, and found that they were 70% to 80% similar. They both had Yan people's faces, black hair and red eyes, and their race was Drake.

Judging from her appearance, Feng Qingyu's words are valid.

This result was beyond Horn's expectations, and she was somewhat delighted. As long as she could get in touch with someone inside the garrison, she could get the garrison to take action before the ghost troops completely infiltrated Xiaoqiu County.

There is no breakthrough on Colonel Hamilton's side, and Major Drake, who has a neutral attitude, may be able to provide some help.

Now Feng Qingyu was finally no longer considered an irrelevant outsider who might even leak secrets to others. She was not happy because she was finally involved in this damn Victorian civil war.

Because of the horn's good looks, the conversation was able to continue.

The content of the following conversation was obvious. Horn was a workaholic who put mission above all else, and he talked about the mission he had accepted in Londinium every three sentences.

"Well, Miss Feng, could you please help me contact Major Drake? I have something very important to tell him."

My workaholic nature is a bit of a letdown. If we talked about romance, it wouldn't be so boring.

Besides, thinking of her brother's sour face, she didn't want to help with matchmaking.

"Emmm...Major Drake and I are not that familiar with each other. Although he is my brother, we just met. He told me not to try to investigate these things. The water is too deep and I can't control it."

Horn frowned, his eyes showing a hint of anxiety.

Feng Qingyu was imagining her suddenly showing her wolf fangs and biting off his neck. The people of the Lupo tribe were known for their bravery and good fighting skills, and this lady of the horn must also be extraordinary.

She had heard of the name of the Crazy Commandos before. Anyone who could join this special operations team must be one in a million, the elite among the elites.

Unexpectedly, instead of getting angry, Horn stood up and bowed to apologize.

"Ms. Feng, I'm really sorry for being suspicious of you like that before. Later, I heard from Fengpi that you were a friend of Inspector Chen of the Longmen Guard Bureau, an operator of Rhodes Island, and also a noble of Victoria... I was blind and failed to recognize your identity."

In a country like Victoria where aristocrats abound, identity and status are the stepping stones to getting things done, and Feng Qingyu's identity can accomplish many things.

Horn admitted that she had underestimated Feng Qingyu at first, thinking that she was a street thug from Longmen. Now she was wrong, and since she had made a mistake, she had to correct it in time.

Such a formal apology made Feng Qingyu a little frightened and a little embarrassed. He felt a lingering sense of guilt for letting such a beautiful military sister give him such a great gift.

"Don't be like this... My request is simple. I want to know what happened in Xiaoqiu County and why you are looking for Major Drake. We in Rhodes Island also need to obtain some intelligence. The force I represent now is Rhodes Island, and Rhodes Island will keep it confidential."

"Okay, we will move to another place later. It is the safest place and the most suitable place for information exchange. Thank you for your help, Miss Feng. The sun of Victoria will bless you."

So, Haojiao held Feng Qingyu's hand and expressed his gratitude to her.

Although Sister Rupert's hands are those of a soldier and some parts of her body have been left with calluses due to long-term contact with weapons, most of her skin is still soft and smooth, maintaining the advantages unique to women.

Those hands were long and white, and each finger seemed very flexible, which should be very good for doing some exercise that requires constant movement of the wrists and fingers.

Feng Qingyu was stunned again.

After a while, Willow and Bagpipe came back after finishing their work. Seeing the two holding each other's hands, they thought of the same thing in their minds - they fell in love with each other and got together.

Actually, no. A handshake doesn't mean anything. At most, it means that the relationship has taken a small step forward from strangers to acquaintances.

Bagpipe is a straightforward person, so it's impossible for him not to react when seeing such a scene.

"Wow, Captain, have you finally figured out that you want to fall in love? The triangle and the snare drum (these two are teammates of the bagpipe and the horn) bet with me that you won't find a girlfriend before you turn 30. The bet is one thousand dollars. If they don't win, I can get five thousand, and each of them will give me two thousand five. If I lose, I have to give each of them two thousand five."

Who wouldn’t be happy about winning money?

Being gossiped about by her teammates in private made Horn feel a little unhappy. It was not her fault that she couldn't find a partner. It was as if a strange curse had been cast on her. Every woman who tried to date her would break up with her after a while, and she hadn't done anything, not even a single thing that crossed the line, including kissing.

Every time it is brought up, the horn feels like it is being whipped.

"Bagpipe... do you still want me to punish you by making you stand upside down while holding heavy objects on your feet? Next time I'll let the triangle and the snare drum sit on your feet respectively. Since you guys have so much time to gossip about the captain's love life, why don't you do more physical training?"

The training content described by the horn immediately appeared in Feng Qingyu's mind. It was a bit funny, but also a bit scary.

Is this the kind of physical training that a normal person can endure?

"It doesn't matter what happens. As long as the captain can find a girlfriend, I don't care how I train. Miss Fengfeng is very popular in Rhodes Island. Even my classmate Chenchen likes her very much. It's difficult for someone like Chenchen to like someone else, so the captain should seize the opportunity."

"..."

The other three people present all felt like the bagpipes were playing random matches, especially Feng Qingyu.

Thirty-seven: Lust for beauty (bushi)

Willow couldn't hold back. For some reason, she was dissatisfied with the gossip that Bagpipe had just brought up.

"Ahem...Everyone, let's take Miss Feng to have her wound bandaged first. We can talk later if we have anything to say. The patients in front of us should have finished their treatment. I'm worried that someone might cut in line. Miss Scamander will handle her own feelings, so let's not say anything."

Horn agreed with this statement with both hands and feet. She hated it most when her love spell was brought to the table, and Bagpipe was always unable to read the air, and whenever he saw a girl who was close to her, he would ask if she was his girlfriend.

"I agree."

Half an hour later, Feng Qingyu's head was covered with several medical bandages. It was normal for her to have bleeding in the head during various battles and missions, and she didn't feel that she needed to be taken care of at all.

Bagpipe and Miss Willow supported her on both sides, with the horn behind her. The scene was a bit more grand than that of ordinary patients. Others only had one person to support them, but she had three.

Three beauties supporting another beautiful woman formed an eye-catching landscape in the hospital lobby.

"I'm fine, really. Don't help me. I just have a little blood on my forehead. Otherwise, people would think I have a serious illness and look at me with eyes full of pity."

Feng Qingyu requested repeatedly before he was finally freed. The forehead injury had no effect on other parts of the body, so it was really exaggerated to have so many people supporting him.

Next, according to the agreement, we have to follow the horn to a place suitable for exchanging information.

Coincidentally, that place turned out to be the McMartin Brothers French Fries Shop. From the horn and bagpipe, Feng Qingyu learned that the chef of this shop was a French fry fryer on the surface, but secretly he was a soldier transferred from Londinium and had been in Hill County for almost ten years.

In a sense, this chef is also an excellent undercover agent. He can stay here for such a long time and deceive countless people. As a colleague, Feng Qingyu must give him a thumbs up.

There is an empty room on the second floor, which is located in the warehouse where food is stored. People outside would never think of going into the warehouse, so they have no way of knowing that there is a room here.
