Chapter 255 Great Qi Dynasty 21
General Si sat on the couch, his hands tightly gripping the armrests, his brow furrowed, his gaze solemn. He pondered for a long time, as if weighing every detail in his mind, before he slowly spoke.
"Those who fight beside me are all my personal guards. Logically, there shouldn't be any betrayal." His voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of imperceptible fatigue.
"They are all orphans of Zhenbei Army soldiers. They were adopted by our Sijia since they were young, and became my personal guards when they grew up. I watched these people grow up. Logically, they shouldn't betray me."
There was a deep sense of helplessness and heartache in his tone.
These private guards were once his most trusted people, his life-and-death companions. But now, he had to doubt them.
"They are all orphans who grew up under the protection of Sijia. I didn't stop them from doing anything. Whenever there are promotion opportunities in the military camp, as long as they have military merits, I will try my best to promote them."
Muchen nodded, but a hint of doubt flickered in his eyes. "People's minds are unpredictable. Especially in such a complex situation, no one can guarantee that no one will be blinded by self-interest."
General Si sighed and nodded. "You're right. People's hearts are complicated."
He paused, his gaze becoming firm. "This matter must be handled with caution. We must not alert the enemy."
Mu Chen nodded solemnly. "Uncle, I understand. I will handle this matter carefully and will definitely not let you down."
General Si nodded slightly, then continued, "You can tell your father, but the fact that I've awakened shouldn't be made public for the time being. Do you have any trustworthy people around you who could lend me some?
I need time to investigate thoroughly and find the spy. Before that, I can't let anyone know that I'm awake."
"I understand." Mu Chen nodded again, "I'll tell my father when I get back and ask him to keep it a secret for now. Don't worry, I'll let my father arrange the manpower."
During the conversation, General Si mentioned Si Rong again. He learned from Si's mother that Si Rong had been guarding the northern border in his place for more than a year and leading the Northern Frontier Army. He was moved but also worried.
General Si's tone was filled with disbelief and deep worry. "She's a girl. Under my protection, she should have been able to marry without worries. But because of me, she's been forced to put on her armor and take on this heavy responsibility."
Having said that, General Si looked at Muchen with a guilty look on his face.
Although Sirong had proposed to cancel the engagement before taking charge, she still delayed Muchen.
Not to mention that Mu Chen did not agree to cancel the engagement, she also worked hard for his health.
It would be enough if I just stopped associating with them.
Seeing General Si's guilty look, Muchen knew what he was thinking. He smiled and said to General Si, "Uncle, you worry too much. Sirong and I grew up together, and I won't blame her for something like this.
Who do you take me for?"
His tone was relaxed and his smile was sincere, as if he didn't take these things to heart at all.
"Sirong has her own choices and responsibilities, and I understand her difficulties. She is doing this for her homesickness and for Northern Xinjiang. I only admire her more, how could I blame her?" Muchen's words revealed a firm support and understanding.
General Si felt a little relieved after listening to Muchen's words. He looked at Muchen with eyes full of gratitude and relief.
"What a good boy." General Si said with emotion.
His words revealed fearless courage and firm support, which made General Si feel very relieved.
"Uncle, don't worry. I will always be by her side, supporting her and helping her. No matter how many difficulties and challenges lie ahead, we will face them together and overcome them together." Muchen's words were full of confidence and determination.
General Si nodded, and his worries were slightly relieved.
At this time, Sirong had already returned to the northern border.
She should not go back to the general's mansion to see her father during this period. If the old man sees her, he will definitely feel uncomfortable. She will go back when he recovers better.
With the robot Sister Li at home, there will be no danger, and Muchen is also in Beijing recently, so there is no need to worry too much.
Everything has been peaceful in the Northern Frontier recently, and the difficult issues are all in the capital. Sirong can't help much for the time being, so she simply asks Xiao 5 to find her a solo mission to earn points.
After saying hello to Muchen, he entered the small world.
This time, she traveled into the body of a three-year-old girl.
Sirong sighed softly. It was always a strange feeling to have a mature soul carried in such a small body.
However, the good news is that little Sirong's parents love her very much and treat her like a jewel in their palm.
The bad news is that she is currently being abducted by human traffickers and is in a precarious situation. To be more precise, she is not being abducted, but being robbed.
Sirong's mother, Li Min, is a capable professional woman who works as a creative director in a well-known advertising company.
Si Zhiming and Li Min have been married for five years and are as loving as ever.
They had a lovely daughter, Sirong, nicknamed Rongrong. The family of three had lived an ordinary and happy life. If the accident hadn't happened, their happiness would have continued.
Li Min's parents and Si Zhiming's parents are both retired, and the four elderly people take turns to help take care of little Sirong.
Whenever the young couple is busy with work, the house is always filled with the laughter of the elderly and children, making it particularly warm.
When Sirong woke up, she was already in the human traffickers' van. She felt a dull pain in her head and couldn't help frowning.
The carriage was dimly lit and filled with a strange smell. Sirong struggled to sit up and found three children beside her. They were all in a coma, breathing evenly and heavily.
She nudged the little boy closest to her, but he didn't respond.
There were two men sitting on the driver's and co-driver's seats of the van.
One of them had a buzz cut, the other a beard. They talked in low voices, occasionally glancing at the children in the car through the rearview mirror.
It was these two men who snatched Sirong away from her grandmother's arms.
Sirong still remembers her grandmother's despair and helplessness that day.
Although my grandmother struggled desperately and shouted that they were human traffickers, the people around her had no time to react. They quickly stuffed her into the car and drove away.
Sirong noticed at this time that the van was shabby in appearance, as if to conceal its identity, but when they first snatched her away from her grandmother, they were driving a luxury car.
There was also a woman with them who was dressed very fashionably.
At that time, the original owner's grandmother had just taken her out of the children's playground in the mall, and the two of them were talking and laughing as they walked home.
The original owner's grandmother was holding the snacks she bought for her.
