Blade and Swift

Chapter 51 The Gentleman and the Mercenary

As Curry said, they waited for someone to come to meet them that afternoon.The reception behaved well in front of Curry, very official, speaking with a northern Russian accent and wearing a mask on his face, when Yan Xichen was about to take someone to register the ordnance, he stopped Yan Xichen.

"We will provide all the ordnance." He said and handed Yan Xichen a list.

Yan Xichen was quite critical of this, but he understood the rules of this business, especially when he saw the contents on the list, he raised his eyebrows and said nothing more.

Their itinerary is to take an armored vehicle first and then change to a helicopter. Twenty people and three planes.After Yan Xichen communicated with his mercenary teammates on the road, he spent the rest of the time translating for Duan Mingyi and Luo Sen.Luo Sen didn't know why, but if he could understand a little, Duan Mingyi couldn't at all.As for Du Yachen, wherever he is placed, he can form a band of brothers, and he is like a fish in water among this group of people.

Yan Xichen occasionally stopped talking and looked in his direction, and was always easily fascinated by Du Yachen's appearance in this group of mercenaries.Whenever at this time, Du Yachen would talk to others in a low voice as if feeling something in his heart, glance at him through the crowd with narrow eyes, and then move away calmly.

The place they were going to was not far from the base, and they arrived in about two hours after boarding the plane.A few receptionists on the way told them roughly the mission of this operation. It was not a dangerous battlefield, but the degree of danger was about the same.

The banquet was held at the mansion of an arms dealer at the foot of a certain mountain, and dignitaries from the political, business and even other countries would also visit.In name, it was a reception and dance held to celebrate the conclusion of a certain friendly treaty, but in fact it was a mixed game of military, political, and businessmen trying to woo each other or reach some private agreements.Needless to say, most of the people present were people with some prestige in the north in the current military, political and business circles.In the mercenary days when Yan Xichen and Du Yachen were active, they had also dealt with many such situations, of course most of the time they focused on missions.Therefore, this task does not feel unfamiliar to people, on the contrary, it is a bit familiar. After the receptionist said a few words, Yan Xichen had a solid idea of ​​what kind of task this was probably.

The object they want to protect is the nephew of a politician. As for why that person didn't come in person, it is probably because he has foreseen some potential dangers, so he must send someone to protect his nephew, and try his best to ensure his nephew's business We got along well.People from political circles come to discuss business. Yan Xichen used to be annoyed by this kind of people the most. Power entering the capital world is nothing more than to muddy the water. The reason why Yan Xichen was disgusted in the past was precisely because the changes in the three worlds affected Mercenaries line.

Just talk over there, Yan Xichen has been listening for a long time, and he becomes a little erratic.He wondered if the purpose of coming here was for Fang Shuo, why would he be involved in these messy and seemingly irrelevant tasks.

Duan Mingyi was a little anxious, and his nails clattered the barrel of the gun: "If I hadn't pushed open the door of the second-hand bookstore on No. [-] Road with my own hands, I wouldn't believe that we are in the watch world—this place looks more dangerous than the outside world."

His words gave Yan Xichen some hints, and he hardly spoke in the second half, sitting by the window with his arms folded, rarely thinking like no one else was around.Luo Sen and Du Yachen came to talk to each other a few times, and Yan Xichen was a little absent-minded.

Half an hour later, when these heavily armed mercenaries stood in front of the palace mansion with its doors wide open, they fell into a brief collective silence.Even though the home court hadn't started yet, the extravagant dinner style and the exquisitely decorated garden made them feel a little delicate.

"So, where is our home field?"

The respondent showed a little smile for the first time, and pulled out a stack of invitation letters from behind: "All of you are mercenaries tonight, and we are also invited guests."

The 20 people were quickly taken upstairs in a short period of time, and the butler selected suitable dresses for them.God knows how the other party would have the time to prepare so many types of dresses in such a short period of time, Yan Xichen felt a headache thinking about it.Luo Sen didn't complain much, and Duan Mingyi went upstairs first with the mumbling Duan Mingyi, leaving Du Yachen and Yan Xichen behind the respondent.

"Your clothes are here." The receptionist asked politely.

Does this situation alone set him apart?Yan Xichen raised his eyebrows, and then Du Yachen stood in front of him calmly.The receptionist smiled and said that the two of them can come together if they don't mind.

Du Yachen didn't care much, and didn't say anything this time, he followed Yan Xichen up the stairs.

"It doesn't feel good, it's a bit strange." Yan Xichen tilted his head and whispered to Du Yachen.

Holding his waist, Du Yachen glanced down the stairs calmly: "Why, do you have any sense of danger?"

"That's not true, it just feels like... I used to lead things in the world of watches, but this time it feels like we are being dominated by something in the world of watches."

"The watch world is born from the heart. You are not the same as you were then, but I think it's interesting." Du Yachen held Yan Xichen's hand and pushed him up slightly.

Not long after, standing in front of the locker, Yan Xichen's defensiveness was overwhelmed by other emotions.In front of him are two sets of dresses, black and white.

It was a white suit, still in the style of the old era. The cuffs and neckline were designed ingeniously, and the scarf pocket on the chest was inlaid with a few sequins, which was a touch of bright color embellished in the simple elegance of the whole body.Yan Xichen's skin was fair, his eyebrows and eyes were gentle, but he was full of masculinity in his bones. With such a dress, he had the air of a nobleman in every gesture.

"Yo." When Yan Xichen changed, Du Yachen looked up and down playfully.

That gaze was too naked, Yan Xichen could understand what was in that gaze just by looking at it.

Yan Xichen knew Du Yachen too well, so he raised his eyelids and gave him a warning.His half-warning glance made Du Yachen's heart itch.

Du Yachen didn't receive his warning, or he didn't want to pay attention to it at all. He stood behind him, wrapped his hands around him from behind, and just half-embraced him to straighten his neckline.The strength of his hand pressed down with a little desire, and he sniffed at the back of his neck. He looked at Yan Xichen in the mirror, with desire in his eyes.

"What do you mean by that?" Du Yachen looked at him in the mirror.

Yan Xichen thoughtfully looked at the other dress in the cabinet.

Du Yachen noticed his gaze, smiled, took out the dress, and walked into the bathroom.

Yan Xichen knew that Du Yachen always changed clothes very quickly, even for this kind of complicated clothes that Yan Xichen had to rush around for a while, Du Yachen could move quickly and decently.

When Du Yachen came out after changing his clothes, Yan Xichen had just adjusted his cuffs and looked up at him.

The calm dark tone makes Du Yachen look very sophisticated, the leather decoration renders a bit wild, and the clothes are wrapped in two or three layers, which perfectly combines gentleman and unruly.Du Yachen usually has a pair of lazy eyebrows and eyes, with a mercenary's carelessness in every gesture, but now he is stuffed into this suit, and he wears a layer of yuppie.

At first glance, it is not amazing, the style and color are very low-key, but when you look away, you can taste the meaning of this man, and it always makes people want to turn their eyes back and take a second look.

Yan Xichen smiled and scolded Gou Niang, seeing Du Yachen walking quickly, he also stood up to meet him.

Knowing that this is not the right time, both of them can't help themselves, they both know what the other wants.One hooked the other's neck, the other hugged the other's waist, and immediately came a long and lingering kiss.

It is said that men are animals of vision, but also animals of desire. Yan Xichen thought of this in his sticky mind after holding Du Yachen in his arms and kissing for three seconds, and felt that he was sincere and not deceitful.

A timely knock on the door interrupted their silent ambiguity.When the lips were parted, Yan Xichen put his index finger against his lips and looked at Du Yachen who was looking at him with bent eyes.He always had a lot of content in his eyes, and Yan Xichen suspected that if the timely knock on the door did not interrupt them, Du Yachen would probably continue.

The two of them took a step back, and the person outside the door came in.He looked at the two of them carefully, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Can you explain to me what's going on here?"

"Swift, it's said to be the fastest knife in Eagle Eye." The respondent was very satisfied with Yan Xichen and Du Yachen.

Yan Xichen's smile faded away, and an unnatural emotion emerged.He understood what he meant, this mission was to pick people.But what he said...

"You probably don't know that this time the mission was named by you to lead the team. We absolutely trust your mercenaries, but the sharpest knife must stay with that person."

Yan Xichen nodded coldly, understanding what he meant.Apparently, the client this time was not willing to allow the "bodyguards" to protect him with great fanfare and spoil the atmosphere of the banquet, so the mercenaries had to hide in every corner of the banquet as guests.And just like what the respondent said, they want the sharpest knife to stay with the most important person.

After the respondent went out, Du Yachen frowned and asked him what's wrong.He didn't ignore Yan Xichen's unnatural look just now.

"Hawkeye's sharpest knife... is Cain, not me. This sentence used to be Cain's signature in Hawkeye, and everyone in the industry in western Russia has heard it. They want to invite them for this mission. Man, it's Cain, not me." There were too many suspicious thoughts, but Yan Xichen's tone calmed down.

Du Yachen's thoughts were clear, and he quickly aligned with Yan Xichen's thoughts: "Is this task a task he has taken on before?"

Yan Xichen thought about it carefully, and his brows became tighter and tighter: "Fang Shuo did go to a grand dinner party, and the task was to protect the relatives of a certain politician...it can't be wrong!"

Both of them were touched in their hearts, and they looked at each other quickly, thinking about each other.Finally, I saw the moon and found some clues related to Cain in the watch world.Although it is not yet known where this clue leads, it is better than nothing.

Du Yachen took Yan Xichen's hand and led him to look at the two in the mirror.The gentle and handsome noble son and the lazy and aggressive gentleman are both pleasing to the eye in the mirror.

"It's a good match, isn't it?" Du Yachen's hand slowly entangled with Yan Xichen's five fingers underneath, "Tonight, I am also your blade."

When we went downstairs, all the mercenaries had changed into their uniforms. Unfortunately, not all mercenaries could cover up the gunpowder smoke in their uniforms. Some of them looked handsome in them, while others were cursing and tugging at the collar of their sleeves, wrapped in gold and jade. The banditry is too obvious.Duan Mingyi was standing at the bottom of the steps talking to Rosen. They were all waiting to go to the armory to prepare.

Therefore, when Yan Xichen and Du Yachen came down at the same time, they suddenly felt a little headache. There was an illusion that they came down from upstairs to the newly married couple and accepted the attention of everyone.In fact, he wasn't the only one who thought so, even Rosen's eyes widened downstairs, and many people whistled teasingly.

Yan Xichen could only ask himself not to look sideways, and led the group of mercenaries in uniforms to the armory below to pick weapons under the leadership of the respondent.

Fortunately, weapons are obviously attractive to mercenaries. After the responders pushed open the door of the armory and let them see a whole layer of ordnance comparable to a military base, they immediately threw the little material to the At the back of their heads, they scrambled to run forward from Du Yachen and Yan Xichen, but Yan Xichen became the last one to follow.

When Du Yachen passed by him, he touched his with the back of his hand, quickly hooked his little finger in Yan Xichen's palm, and then left as if nothing had happened.He still had the same lazy posture, but Yan Xichen looked at his figure, and was so seduced by Du Yachen's just-right teasing.

Yan Xichen picked out the weapon while communicating with Duan Mingyi.Rosen and Du Yachen weighed which weapons could fit into the dress, and which things could be hidden in the most appropriate position.Each of them has a different gown, so the choice of something has its own advantages.Yan Xichen picked out a Soviet-style pocket gun and hid it, and picked out a few large submachine guns and weapons, and put them aside.He told Duan Mingyi that since his language is not good, it's best to stay by his side later. In a big scene like this, the consequences will be very serious once the truth is revealed.

After everyone picked out the good items, the respondent came with a plan map, and Yan Xichen and Du Yachen surveyed them, assigned each of them the station and activity area, and instructed them on blind spots and matters that needed attention.Responders also revealed the preferences of their protected objects, social objects, range of activities, and estimated possible dangerous situations.

Yan Xichen has rich experience in combat planning, but he is still not as good as Du Yachen. He listens to Du Yachen's advice more often, and after three hours, he finally arranges everyone clearly.

They came out of the ground and were taken to a hall for a rest.The sky outside the window turned blue and black, and as night fell, the outline of the moon could be vaguely seen.

The party is about to begin.
