Chapter 455: Stay or go back?
For Jing Hongchen, since he has chosen to side with the prince Xu Tianran, Ming Jiang, who he regards as his grandson-in-law, will naturally also automatically side with him.
In this case, it is better to introduce him to the prince as early as possible. After showing his face in front of the prince, it will be easier to pave the way later.
Of course, Jing Hongchen never thought that Mingjiang might disappear from the world one day.
If he had thought of it, he would not have committed such a suicide act today.
On the other hand, after leaving the hotel, Ming Jiang walked all the way to where he lived, thinking about one thing all the way.
That is.
Will this undercover agent continue to work?
It was an accident that he came to the Sun and Moon Empire.
With the mentality that things come as they come, Ming Jiang entered the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy naturally, and then entered the Mingde Hall based on his ability.
After entering Mingde Hall, what Ming Jiang wanted to do was to get a few more drawings here to help the soul guidance department bring more and more advanced soul guidance technology.
So far, this initial goal has been successfully achieved.
Originally, the last time he returned to Shrek, he should have ended his undercover mission.
But then he thought, after finally spending a few years to establish a firm foothold in Mingde Hall, why not try to upgrade himself to the ninth level soul master in Mingde Hall before leaving?
After all, in addition to the overall backwardness of soul guidance device technology, Shrek Academy does not even have a ninth-level soul mentor.
Therefore, in line with the principle that several years of foundation and cover should not be wasted, Ming Jiang forcedly postponed the undercover mission until now.
And now, he has been able to make a level nine soul tool!
In the eyes of Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen, he only has level 81 soul power now. It takes a very long time to make a level 9 soul guide, and he can barely complete it.
But in fact, Ming Jiang himself is already researching a more complex ninth-level soul guide. After all, his true cultivation level is level 89!
In fact, if there is no soul power when drawing the core array of the ninth-level soul guide, then the elves can be merged directly!
In short, Ming Jiang now has the skills and abilities that a true ninth-level soul master should have.
Logically speaking, he should retreat now.
Ming Jiang should be allowed to disappear from Mingdu!
But now, Xu Tianran, the crown prince of the Sun and Moon Empire, has come to win over him.
So, now comes the problem.
Should he continue to stay undercover, or should he leave immediately?
If he leaves immediately, then the foundation and relationship network he has laid in Mingdetang will basically be scrapped and will not be used again.
Of course, if he does this, he can stop being an undercover agent and go home to spend time with Sister Le Xuan at Shrek or go to Qingshui City.
And if he continues to stay undercover, with the current development trend
three years and three years, he may really become a high-ranking member of the Sun and Moon Empire!
After all, it was the Crown Prince of the Sun and Moon Empire who extended an olive branch to him now! After getting close to this person, as long as the hiding place is good enough, if the Sun and Moon Empire makes any big moves in the future, it will basically be impossible to hide it from him.
Tangled
“How to choose?”
At this time, Mingjiang was really a little tangled.
If the Sun and Moon Empire had no intention of launching a war, then he would evaporate without saying a word, and Ming Jiang would become history in an instant.
However, the current momentum of the Sun and Moon Empire makes it very likely that it will launch a war offensive in the next few years.
In this case, if he can occupy a high position on the side of the Sun and Moon Empire, it will be of great benefit to the future, and may even change the situation of the war.
Of course, he can ignore these, and no one will blame him. Moreover, Sister Le Xuan is still waiting for him at Shrek
Ah!
Ming Jiang shouted crazily in his heart.
what to do?
Continue or leave.
In an extremely tangled state of mind, Mingjiang returned to Mingde Hall.
It just so happened that Xuan Ziwen had just finished his meditation practice, and the two of them bumped into each other.
"Mingjiang! Your kid finally showed up!"
Xuan Ziwen came over immediately, but as he approached, he also saw the boredom on Ming Jiang's face.
"What's wrong with you?"
Ming Jiang raised his head and glanced at Xuan Ziwen, his brows were furrowed, he didn't speak, he just shook his head.
"Is there a technical problem with the soul guide? Or is it a bottleneck in practice?"
Xuan Ziwen became a little anxious when Ming Jiang didn't speak.
Ever since he met Mingjiang, Mingjiang had never been like this.
He realized that something must have happened to Mingjiang!
"No, Lao Xuan, I want to be alone."
Ming Jiang sighed in a low mood and walked towards his room.
Opening the door, taking off his shoes, and lying on the bed, Ming Jiang looked at the white ceiling, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.
To be honest, if Ming Jiang's personal experience was simpler, he would not be in this situation now.
If Ming Jiang had not met Zhang Lexuan, or the relationship was not so close, he might have preferred to stay and get close to Prince Xu Tianran to prepare for a possible war in the future.
It's not that Mingjiang has great righteousness for his family and country, but that he has experienced war and knows the cruelty of war. If there is a possibility of stopping the war, then he will do it.
But he has promised Zhang Lexuan to go back before the next competition starts and marry her.
It has been several years since the two of them fell in love. After delaying and delaying, the heroine has been dragged into the background. Ming Jiang feels very guilty in his heart.
Go back, or stay.
Ming Jiang closed his eyes in pain, Zhang Lexuan's beautiful smiling face and the bloody figure who died in the war kept flashing in his mind. Every picture, It can touch his heart and make him fall into extremely tangled pain.
Bang bang bang!
"Mingjiang, Mingjiang open the door!"
Xuan Ziwen's voice sounded outside, sounding a little anxious.
Mingjiang didn't want to pay attention, but the knocks on the door became more urgent, making people more and more upset.
As his breathing became heavier, Ming Jiang got up from the bed a little irritably, walked to the door and opened the door.
"Lao Xuan, do you deserve a beating?!"
As soon as he opened the door, he said something very angry, which made Xuan Ziwen slightly stunned.
The air was stagnant for a few seconds, and the nameless irritability in Ming Jiang's heart also subsided a little.
He wanted to say something, but Xuan Ziwen was the first to say: "It seems that you have really encountered something difficult."
What Ming Jiang wanted to say was stuck in his throat, so he had to click. nod. The decision he has to make now is indeed difficult.
Suddenly, Xuan Ziwen put his hand on Ming Jiang's shoulder and said with a smile: "Looking at you like this, the things you encounter can't be solved in a while, so why not Come with me to a place, maybe it will be of some help to you."
As he said that, Xuan Ziwen forcibly pulled Ming Jiang out of the dormitory and walked somewhere towards the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. .
Along the way, Xuan Ziwen didn't say where he was going, he just kept pulling Ming Jiang along.
Mingjiang struggled symbolically for a while, but when he couldn't get away, he gave up and let Xuan Ziwen pull him.
He can now clearly feel that his thoughts have entered a very contradictory state.
Two thoughts, two thoughts are like two demons, fighting on both sides of the mind.
Each demon has its own reasons, crazily instilling some ideas into Mingjiang, making Mingjiang even more painful when it was already difficult to make a choice.
The place where Xuan Ziwen wanted to take Ming Jiang was not far away, in the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
When Ming Jiang felt his footsteps stop, he looked up and saw several bright characters of the Soul Guidance Gun Test Site appeared in front of him.
The Soul Guidance Gun Testing Ground, as the name suggests, is a test area specially set up by the Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy for some soul guidance guns and soul guidance cannons.
There are several areas here, which are used for testing different levels of soul-guiding rays and soul-guiding cannons that need to be tested.
Of course, this testing site is not free. Whether it is soul guidance rays or soul guidance cannons, you need to pay a certain fee for testing there. This is also a kind of Sun and Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. source of income.
"Why did you bring me here?"
After seeing the place clearly, Ming Jiang asked with a frown.
He has basically never been to this place. Compared with other soul masters who have to come here to test a soul guidance device after successfully making it, he does it directly in his own little world. Soul guide test.
Not only is it convenient, you can use it at any time, you don’t have to pay, and the test results are even more accurate.
“You’ll find out when you go in.”
Xuan Ziwen didn't say anything more, but forcefully pulled Ming Jiang into the soul-guided gun testing site.
Because Xuan Ziwen has a researcher card of Mingde Hall, he can basically swipe his card for consumption here. This is also one of the benefits of Mingde Hall members.
After entering the testing site, Xuan Ziwen directly pulled Mingjiang to the seventh-level soul guidance experimental area.
This is already the highest standard soul guidance device testing area that this proving ground can withstand. No matter how high it is, at level eight, the destructive power is really unbearable.
“You should have a level seven soul cannon, right?”
Xuan Ziwen looked at Ming Jiang and asked softly.
"Yes."
Mingjiang held his hand slightly, and a seven-level energy-gathering soul cannon about one and a half meters long appeared in his hand.
This is a seventh-level soul guidance tool that he made after he became a seventh-level soul guide. Among seventh-level soul guidance tools, it is barely excellent.
“Okay, let’s see who can destroy the most targets!”
After Xuan Ziwen finished speaking, the energy-gathering soul cannon in his hand fired directly.
Boom! boom! boom!
Three consecutive shots, three consecutive explosions sounded on the target object moving in the distance, directly blowing the target object made of metal into pieces.
Listening to the rumbling explosion, Mingjiang didn't know why, but his mind, which had been tormented by the two little devils, suddenly became clear for a moment.
His eyes lit up, he glanced at the shaped cannon in his hand, and started firing at the metal target in the distance.
For a moment, the entire seventh-level soul guidance test area was filled with rumbling explosions.
As the target metal objects exploded, Ming Jiang and Xuan Ziwen were completely immersed in the roaring explosion.
There was no communication, the two of them didn't even open their mouths, they just kept firing at the moving metal targets. Focus on inputting the soul power in your body into the concentrated cannon, focus on looking at the targets in front of you, and focus on blasting away those things that look like worries!
After a few minutes, Xuan Ziwen stopped.
Although the seventh-level concentrated soul cannon is not very expensive for a Contra like him, it cannot withstand continuous firing for several minutes!
In the past few minutes, he had fired at least dozens of times. Although the soul power in his body was exhausted to the point that his shoulders were numb and beads of sweat appeared on his face, this feeling was indeed... carefree!
Looking at the shattered metal targets, Xuan Ziwen breathed a long sigh of relief, then turned to look at Mingjiang.
This pastime was accidentally discovered when he was stuck in the past research on soul guidance device technology. By continuously firing soul guidance rays or soul guidance shells, he concentrated on bombarding metal targets.
Visually, you can see the metal target being smashed by the soul-guided cannonballs. From the auditory sense, you can hear the roar of the explosion. From the tactile sense, you can feel the feedback of the soul-guided rays or soul-guided cannons in your hands. The sense of taste It can't be helped with smell, but just three senses being occupied is enough to quickly divert a person's attention.
Xuan Ziwen brought Mingjiang here just to divert Mingjiang's attention.
However, when he saw that Ming Jiang persisted for half an hour without stopping, and even got more and more excited, he was a little dumbfounded.
No, isn’t this guy also a Contra? Why do you feel like his soul power is so much more than your own? !
Also, what’s going on with this feeling that’s getting more and more burning? Why did he feel like he was infected when he was standing next to Mingjiang after the fight, and wanted to pick up the soul cannon to fuck him again?
Boom!
As the last metal target fell, all the metal targets in the entire seventh-level soul guidance test area were turned into incomplete fragments, and it could be said that the ground was a mess.
But I don't know why, this feeling of fragmentation is inexplicably relieved.
At least, the sadness on Ming Jiang's face has dissipated a lot.
In the rest area, Xuan Ziwen took out a bottle of water and handed it to Ming Jiang, and said softly: "Do you feel better? If you have something to worry about, don't keep it in your heart, vent it out properly, and maybe you can find something new. Thoughts."
Hearing this, Ming Jiang's heart moved. After taking a sip of the water handed over by Xuan Ziwen, he exhaled heavily and said in a deep voice:
" Lao Xuan, you said, if I have the opportunity to prevent a very bad thing from happening, but it will take me a long time and even let down the people I like, should I do it?"
Xuan Ziwen did not reply immediately, but thought for a while before saying: "It depends on the situation. How bad is a very bad thing? Can you bear the consequences of this happening? If you can, I suggest you don’t let down the person you like, because it will make you regret it. If you can’t, then do it, because if you don’t do it, you will regret it even more.”
After that, Xuan Ziwen said. Added another sentence.
“Of course, if we can find a way to get the best of both worlds, that would be the best.”
Hearing this, Ming Jiang was stunned.
The best of both worlds?
Sorry, the order of the first two chapters was accidentally reversed. I'll see if I can change it back.
