Chapter 400 Help me unbutton
Katrina took Ji Xun’s arm and walked out of the banquet hall under the attention of everyone.
The two took the elevator and planned to go back to the suite on the top floor.
The elevator car is made of transparent tempered glass. As the height rises, the entire Machinery City gradually becomes visible.
There are no outsiders now, and Catalina's face has restrained the friendly smile that a superior person would have when meeting everyone.
There was a trace of thought between her brows, and she said after thinking about it: "Ji Xun, you will have a good rest at the base these days. As for other things, I will take care of them."
When Ji Xun heard this, Of course he knew what she was talking about, so he smiled calmly and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I may be wrong about my perception?"
He did not doubt Catalina's skills.
It was like when she, a noble lady, first arrived in Sinless City, she dared to go to Honglou's casino to negotiate alone. Although he felt deflated when he met Qin Ru, Ji Xun was deeply impressed by his magnanimity and heroic spirit that was not inferior to any man's.
As for Catalina, who is now the commander-in-chief of the Alliance Army, her mentality and methods are completely different from those before.
It's just General Lagon who has just entered the seventh level, so he may not be able to handle it.
Hearing Ji Xun's words, Catalina glanced at him, a cunning flash in her eyes, and a meaningful smile on her lips: "After all, I brought you here. Since General Lagon has moved against you If you have murderous intentions, then you don’t take me as the commander-in-chief seriously.”
This is also true.
If a branch general dares to kill a close friend of the commander-in-chief, it means that the other party does not feel that his status is lower than that of the commander-in-chief.
However, Ji Xun knew that she would not be so emotional, so he smiled and said, "That's it?"
Catalina looked at the teasing look and knew that she couldn't hide it.
I have no intention of hiding it either.
She said it directly: "Actually, if you don't tell me, I also got some information before. Not long ago, General Lagon didn't stop after he advanced. Not only did he frequently move around the major strongholds of the Alliance Army, but he also contacted We talked with several close families like the Rosen family, the Bebo family, and the Morton family, and talked about some things. "
This is top-secret information that no one knows except her, the commander-in-chief.
It was impossible to tell others, but she had no reservations about Ji Xun.
As soon as Ji Xun heard this statement, he had already guessed that Catalina might have an intelligence source among the senior officials of those companies.
The methods behind the superiors are never as glamorous as they seem.
Katrina has always been a qualified leader.
She has a bright and gentle side like a rose, and a hard-charging side that will never be soft when attacking.
Ji Xun has seen it before, so there is no surprise.
Katerina didn't hide it in front of him either.
After a pause, she continued: "These guys really have the 'old tradition' of being warlords in the Federation. They want to get more power when they have some strength. Haha. I really thought they are still here today. Donghuang. Of course, there are also some hidden dangers within my Lion Heart family that have not been dealt with. When my grandfather asked me to take charge of the Lion Heart family, some people in the family were still dissatisfied, such as the married families behind my clan brothers."
Katrina became the head of the Lionheart family not just because of her talent.
But he walked over step by step with bloody footprints.
Of course Ji Xun knows.
When Catalina said this, she suddenly felt a sense of loneliness in her heart.
Only when you sit in this position do you know that there are no friends in this position.
With distracting thoughts in her mind, she looked at Ji Xun, and only this friend who had no interest in power could say anything.
Katrina hugged Ji Xun tighter, and suddenly wanted to say something irrelevant, so she said it: "I'm not greedy for this power. In fact, if those people can defeat the Alliance Army Bring it to a better road and bring a promising future to the Card Master civilization. Even if they want the position of commander-in-chief, I will not hesitate and even help them wholeheartedly. The pattern is still based on the old-school aristocracy's struggle for power. Even if they succeed, it will only be a replica of the decadent old federal government. This is completely different from the 'new federation' we originally wanted." >
Her tone was calm and firm, and she added: "Moreover, the current alliance army seems to be in good shape, but in fact it is walking on thin ice. Any mistake in decision-making will lead everyone with high expectations into an endless abyss. ”
Her voice became softer and softer at the end, "Actually, every step I took was very difficult."
Ji Xun heard it clearly.
When she finished speaking, she responded: "Yeah."
Katrina snorted as if she was self-deprecating, and then the melancholy on her face disappeared: "I knew it. You can understand. That’s why I told you.”
Ji Xun smiled lightly.
He really has no interest in those powers, so just listen.
However, he turned around and got down to business: "Well, I can handle Lagon's matters myself."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Catalina also looked surprised.
You know, that is the real seventh level!
Ji Xun's tone was very determined, and he only responded with one word: "Yes."
This made Catalina's eyes freeze for a moment when she looked at him.
But then, she thought that during the previous chat, Ji Xun did not elaborate on his experience in Ji Xun City.
She originally thought that Ji Xunzhen survived by relying on some special relic.
Now it seems that it may not be a trick.
Catalina suddenly felt a familiar feeling arise. Isn't this the guy she knew who liked to dance on the tip of a knife?
Thinking about her past experiences, she was not surprised that Ji Xun had this idea.
Katerina stopped being surprised for a moment and asked instead: "Are you sure?"
Ji Xun shook his head with a smile: "There is no way to be sure, just give it a try."
“Haha.”
Catalina smiled as she heard it, it was indeed a familiar feeling.
But she didn’t say much.
I thought to myself that if Ji Xun couldn't handle it, I would handle it myself.
No one would have thought that a major event that would affect the alliance's military structure would be decided in just a few words in a casual chat.
At this point, the two of them stopped talking about business.
The elevator door opened, and Catalina had already changed into a bright smile with a lifestyle, and greeted: "Let's go drink!"
Just as Ji Xun and Catalina took the elevator back to the suite At that time, in front of the one-way window of a room downstairs, an old man and a young man stopped to look at the two people talking and laughing in the car from a distance.
It was none other than General Lagon and the angry-looking Young Master Mick.
"You mean, that boy didn't agree to the spar with you?"
Lagon originally wanted to test whether Ji Xun's strength was a bluff, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't agree.
For someone in the aristocratic circle, if they refuse this kind of duel, it can be said that they have lost all face.
But the other party is not from this circle at all.
As soon as Mick talked about this matter, his heart burned with anger: "Huh, there are no cowards. Relying on Catalina's protection, I don't even have the courage to duel."
There is no precedent in history for women to hold power.
In this case, there will always be some jesters who follow the trend of women in power.
In Mick's opinion, Ji Xun is that kind of person.
However, Lagon shook his head when he heard this: "It's not that simple. Either it's as you said, that kid has no strength. Or he doesn't take you seriously at all."
Mick immediately became angry and said: "Uncle, how is this possible?"
After all, he grew up in the military with the reputation of being a genius, with demon marks, exercises, martial arts, and professional cards. They are all the best, how could they be inferior to a commoner?
What's more, the strength of the fifth level is here. The younger generation may not say that no one can compare with it, but at least it will not be worse than anyone else.
A trace of thought appeared in La Gong's sinister eyes, and he said slowly: "There is information that that boy is a disciple of Gong Wu, so his strength and talent are definitely not bad. And he is still alive after being wanted for so long, absolutely not There are no means. But you are right about one thing. That guy can be so arrogant because he has the confidence of the Lionheart family."
As he said this, he paused and said something. : "The little lion is the one worth noting."
"Hmph."
Of course Mick knew the information and guessed that the other party was not weak, but he still didn't want to admit it.
At this moment, seeing the two people riding the elevator out of sight, the anger on Mick's face seemed to be about to burn.
From the information he had received from the maid before, he knew that the relationship between the two was not simply exploited, but was really very close!
Thinking of this, Mick's eyes instantly filled with murderous intent.
After pursuing Catalina for so many years, she saw that she had already negotiated with the elders of the Lionheart family, and it was almost certain that she was his fiancée, but she was snatched away before her eyes?
This is a humiliation that no man can bear!
Mick gritted his teeth and said: "Uncle, let's just forget it?"
In addition to losing the one he loved, more importantly, this marriage represented the cooperation between the two major power groups of the Alliance Army.
He also couldn't understand why Catalina was so ignorant of the overall situation that she actually agreed to a wanted criminal with no power to rely on.
Of course General Lagon could not let his plan fail. He said calmly: "Young people, relying on their own talents, become arrogant. I have seen too many such people. But their The ending always disappeared suddenly."
"."
Kak understood what his uncle meant and felt at ease.
Marriage in the upper class is never a matter of general love, nor is it decided by one person.
It is the combination of interests of the two families.
This marriage has been approved by Catalina's mother, Lady Ingrid, and most of the Lionheart family elders, and there will absolutely be no change.
Even after getting married, Catalina still had that "lover".
The wedding will still go ahead as planned!
However, thinking of Catalina's increasing power in the Alliance Army, he also had a vague feeling that things might be out of control.
After all, Ragon is a veteran who has lived for most of his life. He understands the weirdness of this situation better than Mick.
People must not be allowed to stay.
He will not allow accidents to his plans.
Thinking of this, Lagon said meaningfully: "In the future, little Carter will eventually understand that marrying us is the best choice, and it is also for the future of the Alliance Army."
Mick also understood that his uncle had murderous intentions, and he himself had already had this idea.
But in their position, killing is easy, but you have to weigh the pros and cons.
He hesitated and said: "But over there in the Southern Continent? It is said that that boy is the key person to contact the Southern Continent. What if it is true."
Lagon said disapprovingly: "Just a middleman. . Any relationship is actually an exchange of interests, and the bigger the power, the more so. We can give the same to him, or even more."
He continued: "As far as the information I have received so far. It is also difficult for the Rebel Dragon Army to survive in the Southern Continent. It is very likely that they want to move to the Old Continent, so what they need is an ally, not a 'middleman'. There may be a little trouble, but when the time comes for us to apologize and give up some benefits, they won't care who is the middleman. Mick, after you and Catalina get married, you will also be the core leadership. The future is not a problem.”
Kak thought of something, and then hesitated: "What if Uncle Carter knows, her methods are not bad. I suspect that she dares to do this, and she may already have a plan to deal with it."
Lagun sneered when he heard this: "Haha, we didn't do anything. Without evidence, she still dares to frame me? She really dares to do this, not to mention that our Beibo family's million-strong army is either vegetarian or lion-hearted. The elders of the family will never allow it. The smarter she is, the more she will understand the serious relationship between this. "
"Besides, do you really think that the seventh level is a casual thing? If you really don’t understand current affairs, don’t blame our Beibo family for not talking about the friendship of the past!”
“.”
As soon as these words came out, Mick’s face finally became much better. But looking at the empty elevator coming down from upstairs, he suddenly felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart, and he was filled with jealousy.
Countless people watched Catalina take that man to her suite on the top floor. How can outsiders guess this kind of relationship?
You know, that is the private room of the Allied Commander. Almost no one goes there except the maid.
Ji Xun and Catalina returned to the suite.
As soon as the two entered the door, several maids who had been waiting at the door for a long time said respectfully: "Miss, do you want to rest now?"
Catalina waved her hand: "No, I want to have some drinks with Ji Xun. I don't need you here, go and do other things first."
The maids: "Yes, Miss."
Since I know that this maid has an insider who has been bribed by an outsider, I am disappointed.
I read everything I showed them and simply dismissed it.
The two entered the room and the door was closed.
Catalina walked straight to the wine cabinet, took out a few bottles of wine, and said, "I promised last time that you should treat me to a drink this time. But it just so happened that Miss Alice sent me a few bottles of precious wine. Please drink.”
Ji Xun smiled and said, “Yeah, I’ll do it next time.”
“Okay, let’s make an appointment first.”
>While speaking, Catalina had already taken two large goblets from the shelf: "Alice said this wine is a specialty of the Southern Continent and is very precious."
Ji Xunben didn't take it seriously and helped open the amber wine with a bottle opener. A wonderful aroma suddenly hit his nostrils.
He also sighed: "What kind of wine is this? It smells so good."
I have to say that just from the aroma, I know that this wine is very, very special.
There seemed to be something hidden in Catalina's crystal eyes, and she only introduced: "Alice said it was a secret wine made from an ancient mythology."
Ji Xun was also very interested in listening. : "Oh?"
There are many secret wines in this world, which are like potions and have magical nourishing effects.
As he spoke, he picked up the wine glasses and poured a little amber liquid into both glasses.
“Cheers~”
The clear sound of clinking glasses sounded in the empty room.
Ji Xun swung the wine glass and sniffed the smell to try to identify what it was, but it was too complicated and he couldn't smell it.
But the aroma seems to be intoxicating.
He drank it in one gulp, and a warm current flowed down his throat.
In an instant, he felt that his whole body was heating up, and the alcoholic energy continued to dissipate.
Just one bite gives people a mysterious and light feeling.
"Eh? What a great wine!"
Ji Xun couldn't help but exclaimed.
You must know that alcohol is actually a paralyzing toxin. His level 6 toxin resistance is extremely high, and normal alcohol will have almost no effect on his body except for the slight aroma of wine.
But the secret wine actually made me a little heady?
And after experiencing it carefully, the aftertaste is endless, as if the medicinal materials in the wine are still nourishing the body.
Katrina is not of the same rank as him, so she suppressed her, which made her performance even more obvious.
The alcohol hit me instantly, and a blush appeared on my cheeks.
"Yes! It is indeed a good wine. This is the best wine I have ever drunk."
She looked at Ji Xun, the blush on her face adding a bit of seductive charm.
In the past, drinking was for socializing, but now drinking is life.
Katrina added: "I haven't drunk it before. There are only two bottles in total. I thought I would keep them for you to come with me."
As she said that, she gave two more bottles. The empty cups were filled with some more.
Ji Xun smiled and raised his glass again: "It's my pleasure."
He took a more careful sip and tasted it slowly, only to find that the wine was more powerful than expected.
Katerina also raised her slender neck and drank.
Because it was very close to the opposite side, Ji Xun glanced along the swan-like neck without realizing it, and then looked down all the way to the snow-white depth.
The low-cut evening dress is just right sexy, charming but not revealing, gorgeous but not vulgar.
I don’t know why, but I can’t seem to move my eyes away.
At this moment, Catalina poured the last sip of wine into her mouth, put down the glass, and saw the eyes falling on her chest.
Not only did she not feel rude and cover up, but she smiled and said teasingly: "Hey, you didn't look at me when you were changing clothes before, but now you are interested?"
Ji Xun listened. He chuckled and shook his head, as if he was used to being teased by Catalina from time to time.
Both of them didn't take it to heart. This atmosphere made them feel very relaxed, and they also chatted about some relaxing topics.
After drinking two more drinks, Ji Xun sat on the high stool.
The dress Caterina wore was not enough.
This kind of palace-style fluffy skirt is fixed with steel rings in order to achieve the ultimate gorgeousness. From the beginning, it was designed so that you can only stand up the whole time.
After standing all night, Catalina had already felt dissatisfied. There was no one else in her room, and she would not make herself uncomfortable again.
Seeing that she couldn't sit down, she put down her wine glass and muttered: "Ah, I'm going to change clothes first. Just wait for me."
With that said, he walked towards the cloakroom.
Just like in the afternoon, there was no avoidance that there was a man in the room, and no intention of closing the cloakroom door.
She didn't care, and Ji Xun certainly didn't. I was minding my own business and sipping the wine carefully. At this time, I seemed to have gained some taste, and thought to myself: "Why do I feel that the secret medicine in this wine contains dragon-born ingredients?"
While thinking about it, in the cloakroom Catalina's voice came: "Ji Xun, come and help me."
"Oh."
Ji Xun immediately stood up and walked over, "What's wrong?"
Looking over, he happened to see Catalina standing in front of the mirror. She turned around and motioned to the back of her skirt: "Help me zip up the zipper. . There are several fixed steel rings on the back of this skirt that I can’t untie.”
Without a maid, I can’t do this by myself.
Ji Xun took a look, walked over naturally, and stopped on Catalina's back. Looking at the smooth and beautiful back, he also said: "How to do this?"
Although he has an amazing amount of knowledge, he really doesn’t have much research on women’s clothing.
Catalina saw his dilemma in the mirror and sneered: "Just pull down the zipper and untie the steel ring. Don't just watch, try it yourself!"
Ji Xun chuckled, hiding a hint of embarrassment.
His fingers gently touched the smooth and delicate fabric, and he carefully followed the zipper's path and slowly pulled it.
As the zipper slowly slid down, the restraints behind Catalina were released little by little. She gently exhaled a breath of relief, as if she had relieved herself of the fatigue of the day: "I finally feel comfortable."
"Are you okay?"
Ji Xun asked, his voice very clear in the quiet room.
Originally, it was almost done, but Catalina didn't want to do it herself, and said: "No. And the steel ring button next to it needs to be removed."
Ji Following the instructions, he immediately unbuttoned a few buttons. This time, the entire skirt fell apart like building blocks.
Without the fastener, the skirt completely slipped from the body and fell to the ground.
A large area of Katarina's graceful figure was exposed to the air, and her lower body was still wearing simple yet elegant underwear.
The upper body was completely exposed to the air.
Ji Xun looked at the back and saw the naked back, which was as shiny as jade. He didn’t know if it was because of drinking, but there was an alluring blush in the warmth.
Under the light of the crystal lamp, it is dazzling.
Because Catalina’s back was turned, the two of them didn’t look at each other.
Ji Xun was also slightly surprised. He didn't know that all the clothes were taken off as soon as he took them off. When he raised his eyes, he looked at Catalina's smiling face in the mirror.
Then their eyes met.
That beautiful face was not shy at all because of the exposed beauty. Instead, she said generously: "Thank you~"
Ji Xunye smiled like a gentleman. .
Both of them seem to be used to this kind of getting along.
Katrina glanced at the closet and said casually: "Hand me that white shirt, thank you."
Ji Xun turned around and took two steps to take off the loose white shirt.
When she turned around, she was watching Catalina take off the leg-of-mutton pants that matched the skirt, wearing only her underwear.
Now, the graceful curves are almost unobstructed and can be seen before your eyes.
Under the light, the skin exuded a bright color like satin.
The figure is well-shaped, looking from the back, the buttocks are straight, the legs are slender, and the waistline is also extremely graceful
Catching a glimpse of this spring-filled moment, Ji Xun suddenly felt that he had a new understanding of Catalina's nickname "White Jade Lion".
The figure in front of you is really like a lion carved from white jade, so beautiful that it makes people unable to take their eyes off it. But it seemed like he couldn't keep his gaze, and it slipped all the way down the delicate skin.
The front of the mirror was just visible, but just this look was caught in the corner of the eye by Catalina who was bowing and looking up. She was caught peeking again. Ji Xun did not avoid it. Instead, he took another look with admiration.
Katrina put the pants she had taken off next to her, stood up, and tilted her head, with a playful smile on her lips.
The two looked at each other in the mirror for a moment.
After all, Catalina couldn't help but sneer and said: "I've seen enough, please pass me the clothes."
There was no hint of concern in her tone, just the kind of aloof rose in full bloom that overwhelms the crowd. pride.
Ji Xun didn't feel the embarrassment of being caught at all, so he walked over and lowered his white shirt.
Katrina took it, puffed out her chest, and asked casually: "How is it?"
Of course she was asking about her figure.
This distance is very close and you can see clearly.
The other party did not hesitate to show off her beauty, and Ji Xun did not hesitate to praise: "Yeah! Very good."
"Thank you for the compliment~"
Katrina sounded quite happy. Extremely satisfied.
This atmosphere made both of them feel very happy and just right.
While she was wearing her shirt, she did not forget to complain faintly: "Hey, hey, hey, I still clearly remember your hateful comments when I was in Honglou"
