Today's tutelary fort remains peaceful.

She grabbed Xue Cheng's hand and put it into Essex's palm, saying with a smile: "Mission accomplished, now it's up to you."

Feeling the burning temperature of his palm, Essex whispered, "Thank you, Gaga."

"You're welcome. Take your time chatting." Ticonderoga said casually, then turned his gaze to the bald eagle in the tree: "Hey, chatty eagle, what are you still doing here? Let's go."

"What did you say? Let me go?!" The bald eagle flapped its wings angrily and screamed:

"I am Jiaozi's closest friend! We eat and live together and have never been apart!"

"That was in the past. It may not be the same in the future." Ticonderoga said. Seeing that the bald eagle did not seem to have any intention of leaving, he suddenly raised his hand and pointed at the bald eagle.

Silently, a white thread emerged from the black watch on Ticonderoga's hand, and one end stuck to the bald eagle's body.

Ticonderoga grabbed the other end of the silk thread and pulled it hard. The bald eagle was immediately unable to move, and was pulled over with a scream, and the girl held it in her hand like a chicken.

"The spider silk launcher, the prop that the admiral talked about with Dr. Yubari before." Ticonderoga shrugged at the stunned Essex and Xue Cheng.

She ignored Bell McCann, who was struggling desperately and threatening her with various words, and explained:

"Although it's not as strong as in the movies, it can still withstand 50 kilograms. Catching this chattering eagle is easy."

"Then let's go ahead and let the Admiral and Big Sister talk slowly."

249. Prepare for War

Once Ticonderoga and Bell McCann left, Essex and Xue Cheng were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Essex is a bit introverted and never talks much. Although Xue Cheng's skills in coaxing girls have improved after this period of time, most of the time he still passively accepts the girls' affections. Faced with the even more passive Essex, he couldn't find a suitable opening line for a while.

There was a long silence, until the atmosphere seemed to become a little stiff. Xue Cheng finally couldn't hold it in any longer and said tentatively: "Jiaozi, that..."

Essex glanced at him quickly, then dropped his eyes and said in a low voice:

"Admiral, did Gaga tell you anything? She likes to talk nonsense, so don't take it to heart."

"Ticonderoga didn't say anything." As soon as the other party spoke, the depressing atmosphere was immediately broken. Xue Cheng seemed to suddenly become enlightened, and an idea suddenly appeared in his mind. He understood what to do next without any instruction.

He smiled slightly and continued what Essex said: "But I did remember something."

"W-what?!" Essex looked at the man who was suddenly walking towards her. As if she had a premonition of something, her face turned slightly red, her long eyelashes trembled, and she couldn't help but step back.

There was a rough and hard touch behind her. With no way to retreat, Essex leaned against the tree trunk, as if she had lost the ability to think. She could only watch Xue Cheng slowly approach. Then he raised one hand, pressed it to her ear, and looked at her with a smile.

Hey, this posture seems to be called wall-dong?

Essex recalled scenes he had seen in movies, TV shows, and comics.

This gesture is usually a sign of male dominance towards females. If the following developments are the same as in the TV series and comics, then the Admiral will...

"Woo!" Essex's face turned red in an instant, steam seemed to be coming out of his forehead, his eyes rolled around, and he almost fainted.

"It's what I promised you before." Xue Cheng imitated the domineering CEO and gave Essex a wicked smile.

It’s a pity that he doesn’t have the same kind of domineering aura as others, and his smile seems a bit deliberate, which completely fails to achieve the expected effect.

Fortunately, the ship girls in the naval base all have a natural filter for Xue Cheng. In addition, he has been exercising and improving his clothing style during this period, so Xue Cheng's image has become much more handsome, so he doesn't look greasy, and even makes Essex's heart flutter.

"Although I was under the influence of drugs at the time, I was still conscious, so the promise I made to Essex was no joke."

Xue Cheng approached slowly.

"What promise?" Essex avoided looking at Xue Cheng.

"That's right..." Xue Cheng raised his hand, gently lifted the girl's chin, and forced his eyes to meet hers. Seeing her look like a frightened deer, he said meaningfully, "Try to be a good husband."

"Eh..." Essex blinked. "Didn't you say you wanted to be a good admiral?"

Xue Cheng shrugged: "That kind of thing doesn't matter. I think it's better to do my job well first."

Isn't being an admiral the real job? Essex wanted to complain, but then thought, maybe what everyone at the naval base wanted from the beginning wasn't a workaholic, but a good admiral who could relax and get along well with everyone.

After all, anyone can do the work, but only the admiral can accompany everyone and bring spiritual comfort.

Essex whispered, "What the Admiral means is..."

Xue Cheng leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered, "Essex is my wife, right?"

Essex's earlobes quickly turned red, she dropped her eyes and nodded slightly.

"So, would Essex be willing to spare some time for me tonight?"

"..." Essex widened his eyes in surprise and raised his head suddenly. What he saw was Xue Cheng almost sticking to his face, with flames seeming to burn in his eyes.

Although she was simple, Essex was not so simple that she could not hear such an obvious hint. She hesitated for a moment, thinking of the chatterbox and her sister at home, and shyly rested her head on Xue Cheng's shoulder.

But even so, Essex still did not refuse, but nodded imperceptibly.

Xue Cheng smiled victoriously.

I made an appointment with Essex and watched the girl leave with light steps as if she was walking on cotton.

Xue Cheng shook his bangs and laughed, "I wanted to rest for a few days, but it looks like I'm going to have to work hard again. Fortunately, I rejected Ticonderoga before, otherwise..."

As Xue Cheng spoke, his face gradually fell and he looked dejected.

Shaking his head, Xue Cheng took out his mobile phone from his pocket. This communication device that had once fallen into the hands of the Soviet Union was finally back in his hands.

After randomly pressing a few buttons on the screen, Xue Cheng found a number and called it.

"Hello? Is this Yixian? I... um, yes, I'll be over for lunch at noon. Um, aren't you guys the chef in charge of the cafeteria today? That's great!"

"Ahem, by the way, regarding lunch, can I make some special requests? For example? Um, that is... can you prepare some dishes that are more nourishing?"

the other side.

In the living room, Yixian put down his phone with a strange expression and said to the girl who was kneeling on a chair beside him, with her hands on the back of the chair and gently swaying her body, "Jinan, go call your sister from Chongqing in."

"Sister Chongqing?" Jinan tilted his head and asked curiously, "What happened?"

"Nothing." Yixian hesitated and touched her head: "The Admiral will come to eat at noon."

"Huh, a little while?" Jinan's eyes widened in surprise as he said, "By the way, it's been a while since I've been to Sister Yixian's place, Admiral."

"Yeah." Yixian smiled and gently pushed her shoulder: "Go find Chongqing quickly, we still have to prepare lunch together."

"Roger that, sir." Jinan saluted Yixian. "I promise to complete the mission!"

Looking at Jinan, who was wearing a chest-length skirt, opening her arms, making a humming sound from her mouth, and running out like a small airplane, Yixian bit her lips lightly, stood up and walked into the kitchen.

When Chongqing, with his hands covered in mud, came to the kitchen, he saw Yixian standing in front of the chopping board with a frown on his face, with some ingredients in plastic bags in front of him.

"I heard the Admiral is coming at noon?" Chongqing walked over to the faucet, washed the dirt off his hands, and casually asked, "What delicious dish is Sister Yixian planning? Oh, right, do we need to call everyone back for dinner?"

“…” Yixian did not answer, but still stood there, as if thinking about something.

"Sister Yixian?" Chongqing looked at her strangely and raised his voice slightly.

"Ah! Chongqing? When did you come back?" Yixian suddenly woke up and looked at Chongqing blankly.

"Just now." The girl shrugged helplessly, pointed at the ingredients on the chopping board, and asked the question again.

"Well..." Yixian pursed his lips and hesitated before saying, "Let's prepare some medicinal food for lunch. The Admiral just woke up yesterday, so help him replenish his body. As for everyone else..."

After a pause, Yixian's cheeks flushed as he whispered, "Just call back the cruiser and the 1913 battlecruiser. Today's lunch isn't very suitable for those little kids."

"Huh? Is that so?" Chongqing received the order in confusion, then went back to the living room to dry his hands and dialed the phone.

When he returned to the kitchen, all the ingredients on the chopping board had been opened and thawed. Chongqing leaned over to take a look. They were all beef and mutton, and there was also a piece of what looked like some animal's internal organs. Yixian was taking out an old ginseng from the cabinet.

"Sister Yixian?" Chongqing asked curiously, "What are you doing..."

"Make a pot of chicken soup to nourish the Admiral," Yixian said. "Go to the backyard and cut some leeks. I'll go kill the chicken. Oh, and be quick. Time is a bit tight today..."

……

The afternoon passed in a flash, and Xue Cheng walked leisurely to the outside of Yixian's courtyard.

"It smells so good." Xue Cheng was about to push the door open, but before he walked in, he smelled an enticing aroma.

"Of course." A voice came, and Xue Cheng looked in the direction of the voice. Under the fruit tree in front of the courtyard, Chongqing was holding a small basin in his arms, which was filled with fresh apricots that had just been picked, and glaring at him fiercely.

"Today's lunch was carefully prepared by Sister Yixian and I. If you dare to say it's not good, I will stuff this basin into your mouth."

Seeing Chongqing waving the small plastic basin in his arms towards him, Xue Cheng pushed the door open and walked in. He asked innocently through the fence, "Why are you so fierce? How have I offended you?"

"How dare you say that..." Chongqing rolled his eyes, a hint of annoyance in his tone: "Have you forgotten so quickly what you did to me before? Or are you going to use the excuse of amnesia to prevaricate?"

"Oh, you mean that thing?" Xue Cheng clapped his hands, put on an expression of sudden enlightenment, and said, "Is there something wrong with that thing?"

"You..." Chongqing gritted his teeth and said angrily:

"The Admiral made light of such a thing as kissing someone without permission while they weren't paying attention. How shameless! Men are truly so annoying!"

"But." Xue Cheng touched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Chongqing is also my wife, right? What's the big deal about just a kiss?"

"So the Admiral still remembers it?" Chongqing glanced at him: "I thought the Admiral had forgotten about it."

"I smell the sour smell of vinegar." Xue Cheng pinched his nose. "What a strong smell! Could it be that Yixian's vinegar bottle was knocked over? Ouch!"

Xue Cheng covered his head, caught the apricot that bounced off his forehead, wiped it casually with his hand, put it in his mouth and ate it with relish.

Chongqing, who had just thrown the apricot, looked at him with gritted teeth, as if he wanted to jump over the fence and bite him hard.

"Admiral? Chongqing?" Yixian walked out of the room when she heard the voice. She was wearing an apron, and her cloud-like hair was casually tied into a bun and fixed with a green hairpin.

Yixian leaned against the door frame, looking at the two people who seemed to be in a standoff, and asked curiously: "What are you arguing about?"

"Yi..." Chongqing was about to open her mouth when Xue Cheng immediately interrupted her with a smile and said, "Nothing, I just ate a very sour apricot. Um, my teeth are almost sour."

Yixian looked at the apricots in Xue Cheng's hand and said curiously, "Will they be sour? Apricots are obviously ripe this season."

"There are always exceptions." Xue Cheng ate the apricot, which was not very big to begin with, in a few bites. He then threw the pit into the trash can beside him and said, "How's the lunch preparation? I'm starving."

"Everything is ready. Admiral, go wash your hands. And Chongqing, you go too and wash the apricots by the way." Yixian said.

"Hmph." Chongqing gave Xue Cheng a hateful look and turned to walk towards the exit of the garden.

As Xue Cheng walked into Yixian's living room, before he could feel the cool air released by the air conditioner, two pairs of eyes were staring at him.
