The Gobi Desert admitted defeat with a rather dejected expression.King Yan walked over, patted them on the shoulder, and said: You are amazing, if I surrender later, I will be discovered by you! But the Gobi Desert shook its head: Not necessarily, not necessarily, I'm afraid it will take at least three hours! I didn't make a sound, I was happy to watch the conversation between King Yan and the Gobi Desert. Yan Wangdao: I can't take this risk. This device is a top national defense secret. If you find out and the secret is leaked, I will be done playing. Gobi Desert looked very proud, and said loudly: I'm afraid it won't be that easy for you to take the device back. Wesley Baisu's house doesn't allow people to install and remove the bugging device as soon as they want it!

Since King Yan appeared, Gobi Desert has only said a few decent words until now. I added two sneer, expressing that I agree with everything Gobi Desert said. King Yan said with a bitter face, "I've already apologized!" The Gobi Desert said loudly: No! Just when I was thinking that the two of them were finally on my side, the two of them said: Unless you tell us the cutting-edge technology of this device, don't even think about taking it away! The condition they offered was only for them to obtain cutting-edge technology!It is so unreasonable! I thought to myself, I still have the right to decide, and it depends on how you play tricks.

King Yan spread his hands and sighed: It is really impossible that if I agree, I will become a sinner who betrayed the top secrets of the country's national defense.Why don't you use your brains a little bit: would I give up everything I have now to satisfy the curiosity of both of you? King Yan's words were so direct that even an idiot could know that he would not agree to the request of the Gobi Desert. But the Gobi Desert is still entangled: if you don't agree, it depends on you!Stealing is easy, but now you want to take it back, can you still steal it?If we don't allow it, it means that Wesley doesn't allow it. Let's see what you can do!

King Yan shook his head: Although the devices were installed without Mr. Wei's permission, Mr. Wei's permission is not necessary to remove them.Asking Mr. Wei's approval is because I sincerely apologize to Mr. Wei, expressing that I have done it and asking for forgiveness. The Gobi Desert snorted, obviously not knowing how to answer, I laughed and said: Great, please let us open our eyes, how can you take the device away without my permission! After hearing what I said, King Yan's reaction was really amazing, he even showed a very serious expression of embarrassment, and said: In this way, won't you offend Mr. Wei even more?

I stared at him, smiled instead of angry, and said: Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, anyway, I have offended a lot. As the saying goes: No worries if you have too many debts, no itching if you have too many lice! King Yan smiled awkwardly, even stretched out his hand to scratch his head, his expression was still very hesitant, and said: "Although I said that, but but but but I also simply went down with him and asked: What is your embarrassment, why don't you speak up? The Gobi Desert was the happiest place at this time. When they saw me talking to King Yan, they turned their heads to the right and then to the left like a spectator at a tennis match. It is also good for people to have a simple mind, at least less nervous and worrying.

Yan Wang was full of expressions, looking extremely embarrassed, and said: "How can this be? Well, to be honest, I still need Mr. Wei's help. It is already extremely difficult. If I offend again, this New enmity plus old enmity, isn't it even more hopeless? After all he said, he still said that he has the ability to take away the bugging device without my permission, which is extremely arrogant. I sneered and said: Your Excellency I just said two words, and then I stopped abruptly. Originally, what I wanted to blurt out was: Your Excellency, just use it. As long as you can take the device away smoothly, I will not be blamed. I will agree to your request.

However, after saying two words, I suddenly realized that the purpose of King Yan's pretentiousness was to force me to say such words? If I said this and he did it, it would be difficult for me to refuse his request.So you can't say this kind of thing, once you say it, you will fall into his trap. Fortunately, I reined in the precipice, found out early, and immediately changed my words: If there is something that requires me to contribute, I can discuss it as much as possible. It is up to people to make things happen, and God is in charge of success. If you don’t mention it, the chance of success is zero. If you bring it up, at least half and half!

What I said was slick, and I never said that I would agree to his request. On the contrary, I can know what he needs my help for. (At this time, I can't imagine that he will need my help. Behind him is a powerful military force. If there is anything he can't do, he will ask me, a commoner, to help!) Of course, King Yan could hear that my words were extremely slippery and he couldn't catch anything, so the wry smile he showed at that moment might actually be true. He sighed, but at this moment he turned his head and stared at Wang Lian. He glanced at it and said, "It's all your fault!"

Wang Lian spread her hands, looking very helpless: I know Wesley is difficult to deal with, and I have done my best! The situation between the two of them is called pulling the cat's tail in Cantonese, which means acting for others to see.I sneered: It's time for the show to begin, and the new technology device that was left behind should be taken out for us to see! The Gobi Desert immediately agreed, and said loudly: Yes, where is it, take it out quickly! King Yan frowned, as if he was unwilling, sighed, and suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, he said: "Okay, stretching out the head is a knife, retracting the head is also a knife, if you die, you will die!"Play a little trick and show your ugliness!

I know that the critical moment has come for him to seize the bugging device, that is to say, he is about to launch an attack immediately! I don't know what kind of attack method he will take. I just made up my mind. As soon as he starts, I immediately retreat, close the door, and call the media immediately. So as soon as he finished speaking, I immediately took a step back, but at this moment, I saw King Yan raised his hand, which of course was a signal to launch an attack, and my hand was already on the door. But at that moment, I felt that something was wrong, but I still couldn't say it precisely, and the thing had already happened at this moment.

After the incident happened, I realized where the feeling of something was wrong. The reason was that I knew the other party was about to attack, but Yan Wang and Wang Lian didn't seem to act at all.King Yan just raised his hand, but his body still didn't move, which shows that there is something very unusual about the matter. Things are really unusual! Just as King Yan raised his hand, those people who had been standing still in a resting position suddenly changed their hands from behind to in front of them, and I only saw that each of them was holding a black hand in their hands at that moment. However, there was no way to see what it was. Those people raised their hands upwards, and the things in their hands made a sound, and then flew straight up. What does it mean to be dumbfounded? At this time, the Gobi Desert and I were just dumbfounded.When the things in those people's hands flew into the sky, for the first hundredth of a second, I really thought it was an advanced technological weapon, but I immediately saw that it was a bird the size of a crow. There were as many as thirty or forty pairs, and they flew into the sky at an extremely fast speed, as if dozens of straight black lines were drawn in the air, and they flew to a high altitude in an instant, turning into dozens of small black dots. . Yan Wang said that it was a little trick, but no matter how he thought about it, he never thought that the content of the trick would be like this. What I immediately thought of was: the purpose of this trick is to divert attention. In this situation, the natural reaction of people is to look up, and the two of them in the Gobi Desert are exactly like this.I won't be so easily fooled, although I couldn't help but glance up, but I immediately retracted my gaze, stared at King Yan, and didn't let him make any changes! People have a lot of common sense, which is sometimes very useful. Some common sense, which usually seems useless, can be used just right sometimes. When those birds suddenly appeared and flew into the sky, it only took about half a second for me to know that the name of these birds was Shrike (Dongfei Shrike Swallow). This kind of bird has black feathers and yellow beak, excellent eyesight, and High intelligence, easy to train.There are often people who run the rivers and lakes, train it, and take it out to perform.Most of the way of performance is to shoot beans or mud balls into the sky, and the trained shrike will fly into the sky, catch the shot things, and then, amidst the exclamation of the audience, those who run the rivers and lakes can ask for money . When I was young, I raised and trained this kind of bird with my playmates. The competition was to see who could fly the highest to get the most accurate target. It was an excellent plaything in childhood, so I recognized their origin immediately. However, I still have no way of knowing the purpose of releasing these Shrikes. In the blink of an eye, all those people whistled together, and as soon as it hit my ears, it was very intimate and very funny.Because making this sound is the only way to train the Shrike.If you can control this sound well, you can direct the actions of the Shrike well.The method of controlling the sound is quite complicated, and it will take a long time to learn before it can be mastered.I am an expert in this field. At that time, within a radius of 100 miles, I recognized the second, and no one recognized the first. This method is said to have been passed down by Gongye, an expert in bird language. It is unexpected that this method is still used until now. I'm an expert. As soon as I heard the whistle from those people, I knew that those people were very good at controlling the Shrike, and it was a more difficult group training, similar to human military training. Actions. However, this training method also has disadvantages. The disadvantage is that it pays too much attention to rigid discipline and ignores the relationship between humans and birds.And if you want to achieve the state of no barrier between humans and birds, this method cannot be achieved. Of course, the state of the unity of humans and birds is even higher. To achieve such an extreme state, the whistle required is more complicated and more difficult. In such a tense moment, I suddenly inserted a long paragraph about the training of the Shrike, which was absolutely necessary.Because what happened next was closely related to it, and even Wesley was able to feel proud because of it. There are many unexpected things in life. After this incident, when I talked about accidents with people, they all said that there was nothing more unexpected than this. How does it play such an important role? When I heard the whistle, I knew that those people were ordering the Shrike to fly. The Shrike's flying ability is extremely high and the flying speed is extremely fast. It can be shot into the sky like an arrow. At this time, a group of Shrikes became some small black spots.Then the whistles of those people suddenly changed! Those who don't know the inside, absolutely don't know what kind of changes will happen, it's just that the whistle sound is different, but my memory is still very clear when I was young, and I can hear those people ordering the Shrike to charge down!Until now, I still don’t know what the King of Words is using the Shrike to do. I just heard that the Shrike will rush down from the whistle. I think the only possibility is to order the Shrike to attack me. The Shrike’s beak and claws are quite sharp. Put on any sharp weapons, a group of trained Shrikes come and go extremely quickly, and suddenly attack people, it is indeed a very sharp mobile attack weapon. Moreover, this kind of attack weapon is completely unexpected, and can achieve the attack effect of reaching the target in an instant. I thought of this, and my heart was ecstatic, because I am sure, no matter how powerful Yan Wang is, no matter what kind of research he has done on me, I guarantee that he cannot know that I am an expert in training shrikes and can He knew the Shrike's movements from his voice. Knowing that the Shrike will come to attack me, if I can't defeat a group of birds, then I really should buy a piece of tofu and kill me! I reached out and grabbed the buckle of the belt, and I can pull the belt out at any time. I am ready to use it as a soft whip. When the Shrike swooped down to attack me, I first used the whistle to disperse them. They scattered wisely, of course the best, If I don't know how to live or die, I can guarantee that all of them will be turned into specimens by waving my belt. Let's see Wesley show off his might. It was too late to say all of this, and then it was too soon, the whistles of those people changed, and the black dots in the sky quickly changed from small to large, and the group of shrikes rushed down, although they were a group of small birds, but Its majestic momentum is like a group of ultra-small jets. In a blink of an eye, the Shrike was only about twenty meters away from the ground, and I was ready to shape my lips and whistle. But at this moment, the whistle of those people changed again. I just heard that it was an order for the Shrike to pick up a predetermined target, but I didn't know what the exact meaning was, but the Shrike had suddenly dispersed in mid-air.When they dispersed, they were right above my house, and after they dispersed, they covered my entire house like an umbrella! Until this time, although I knew that the goal of the Shrike's dive was not to attack me, I still didn't know what their purpose was! Looking back on the situation at that time later, it was really thrilling. What happened later, as long as a tenth of a second was delayed, the result would be very different, and that tenth of a second was all due to my superb response The ability has come. Things changed at that time, it really changed in a blink of an eye!The Shrikes came round my house, terrified, and rushed at every window, one at every window.All I could think at the time was: They must be crazy, or whoever directs them is crazy!Is it because the bird slammed into the window at such a speed that it wanted to smash the window, rush into the house, and take away the bugging device? If they can rush in, the bugging device will definitely not be too big, and they can indeed do this after they have been trained. However, I'm pretty sure all the windows are closed, and it's impossible to say that they could break through the glass! I didn't know what was going to happen until that moment, which shows how unexpected it was. The group of Shrikes quickly approached the window, but they didn't hit it. They just tapped on the window very quickly, and the whistle of those people changed again, and they were already ordering the Shrike to fly back.But when the whistle sounded, there were indeed Shrikes flying back. In that fleeting moment, I understood! out the window! The bugging device is not inside the house, but outside the window! Most likely, the device is a transparent object attached to the glass of the window, so it is difficult to detect, so with the power of the Gobi desert, I searched the house for three hours and found nothing.That's why King Yan is so confident that he can take the device back without my permission! I finally figured it out! However, I still don't know what kind of object the device is. I can be sure that the object has been carried back by the birds, but because they fly too fast, they can't see clearly at all. The Shrike flew fast, and when I figured it out, more than half of the birds had already returned to those people, and the birds that flew back afterward all bumped into the chests of those people, and then circled behind them.The ones that haven't come back are not flying slowly, but because they flew back from the back of the house, and the distance is relatively long, so they didn't fly. And the time I can use will not exceed one tenth of a second. Everyone also thought of what I would do, right? Just as there were three more Shrikes flying over me and flying forward, I suddenly whistled for them to fly towards me. At this time, just when those people thought they had finished their work and stopped whistle, my whistle sounded, and the three Shrikes suddenly turned a few somersaults in the air, that was when they were flying forward rapidly, suddenly The result of turning the direction one hundred and eighty degrees. Evidently no one except me could have imagined such a sudden change, as evidenced by the fact that the whistle was at least half a second later. And when those people whistled again, three Shrikes had already started flying towards me, and I immediately whistled a second time. The message conveyed by the whistle this time was very complicated, to tell the Shrike not to listen to those people Listen to me and tell them that I am their real master. It's not me boasting, let alone those people opposite me don't understand such a complicated training technique, I'm afraid even the master who taught them the training technique may not know that there is such a brilliant way to communicate with the Shrike in the world!When I was a child, I used this method to summon the Shrike trained by others. I have tried everything, and I haven't played it for many years, but the effect is still the same! Those three shrikes followed my signal and flew towards me. I continued to strengthen my whistle to counteract those whistles made by those people. The whistles of those people became very sad, but it didn't work. Seeing that the three shrikes were no more than four or five meters away from me, they were flying over the head of King Yan, about two meters above the head of King Yan. The reason why I described this situation in such detail is because of what happened next , it's incredible. At this moment, King Yan yelled loudly, and his whole body suddenly bounced upwards. In mid-air, he stretched out both hands, and unexpectedly caught the two Shrikes flying in the air! The flying speed of the Shrike is extremely high, and it is unimaginable that Wang Yan was able to catch them from the air! It's a pity that the king only has two hands. If there is one more hand, I have no doubt that he can catch the three shrikes together! King Yan grabbed two shrikes, and before he landed, another shrike flew in front of me.Until then, I didn't see a piece of transparent object in the beak of the Shrike. The transparent object, a circular piece, is very thin, maybe less than half a centimeter, and about ten centimeters in diameter, larger than I imagined.The reason why you can't see it until you get very close is because it is extremely transparent and never reflects light, so it is almost invisible. The Shrike flew in front of me, and before I could catch it, it skillfully put the disc into the upper left pocket of my jacket.Just now I noticed the movements of those Shrikes after they flew in front of those people. At that time, I only knew that Shrike touched those people’s chests. Putting it into the pockets of those people's clothes is of course well-trained. And those transparent discs are of course an important part of the bugging device. I've never seen or even heard of such a device.That is of course the achievement of cutting-edge science, which is the extremely confidential national defense and military scientific secret that King Yan said. Each shrike took one piece, and the total number is probably about forty pieces, enough to put one or two pieces on all the windows in my house!That is to say, unless there is a secret room without windows in my house, any sound from anywhere can be transmitted through the device! I don't know what kind of advanced science and technology it is. I only know that one piece of it has fallen into my hands. As long as it is handed over to the Gobi Desert, the two of them will quickly find out the answer. Things have come to this point, and I can say it's a big win! The joy in my heart was really indescribable, I naturally reached into the upper left pocket of my jacket, took out the disc, and held it up to King Yan. According to what King Yan said just now, if the technological secrets contained in this disc are leaked, he will lose his head, so he must surrender to me! All of this happened in a very short period of time. When I stretched out my hand to my pocket, after King Yan landed on the ground, before he could stand still, he suddenly yelled loudly: Poison!bump!die! When he yelled like this, he fell to the ground all of a sudden, but he still pointed his finger at me, his expression extremely anxious! I stopped abruptly and my fingers reached the edge of the pocket. He called three words, and I could understand that he was sending me an extremely urgent warning: there is poison on that wafer, if you touch it, you will die! At this time, I was in a hostile position with him. As long as I thought about it rationally, I had no reason to believe his words. He took his warning. After I stopped, I raised my hand to show that I would not touch the disc. Yan Wang also jumped up at this time, panting involuntarily, pointed at me, and shook his head. Sweat, beads of sweat scattered everywhere, the landscape is very strange. At this time, I actually thought that King Yan must be intimidating me with empty words, the purpose is to make me dare not touch the disc. But looking at King Yan's expression, he was really worried about why he was worried?Is it because I am afraid that I will be poisoned without knowing it, or because he will lose his head because the secret is not kept? At this moment, Gobi Desert, who was stunned by what happened in an instant, suddenly asked loudly: What poison? ! King Yan was still panting, so he answered a noun with quite a lot of syllables, most of which were chemical nouns, and I didn't understand the content.However, the Gobi Desert obviously knew what it was, and they immediately looked at me with horrified expressions.He looked at King Yan again, and King Yan nodded to them, and they looked at me again. I'm annoyed: Don't look at me like this and treat me as a dead person? The Gobi Desert sighed in unison and said loudly: Take off your shirt quickly, if you are afraid of being snatched back, you can step on it with your feet. Although their words are nonsensical, I know that they are saying that the disc in my coat pocket is extremely poisonous. Although I don't touch it, it is dangerous to put it in my pocket, so I have to take it off. down. I hesitated, considering whether I should listen to their words, even if I have already won a big victory, if I still do this, if I am fooled, wouldn't my reputation be ruined? After Gobi Desert said it, he sighed again, and said: Wesley, in fact, you should return it to King Yan. This really surprised me, because the most advanced science and technology can be glimpsed from that disc, which is exactly the knowledge that the two people in the Gobi Desert dreamed of. Considering their crazy pursuit of this knowledge, There is absolutely no reason to give up, even if it is highly poisonous, knowing this, it is easy to deal with, so why return it to King Yan! I stared at them, the two of them sighed for the third time, and said: "Just now, King Yan reminded you at a critical moment, and saved your life!" I sneered naturally: How can I die so easily! Wang Lian, who was behind King Yan, suddenly spoke, and said: Then, Mr. Wei, why did you stop suddenly just now? I was taken aback for a moment, not only did Wang Lian ask me this, but I also asked myself many times: Why did I accept the warning immediately without even thinking about it? The answer I gave myself was: listen and believe, there is no loss. There is poison on the wafer, and I can avoid the danger of poisoning; there is no poison on the wafer, and the things are still here, and King Yan still cannot take them back. But this answer does not satisfy me, because the question has a further level, that is: Why did King Yan remind me? I was in such a hostile position with him that the disc in my hands was a mortal hazard to him, and if I were poisoned it would at any rate be in his favor to get it back. He warned me, kept me out of danger, and he himself was in danger. It seems that the only reason why he warned me in an emergency is that he has noble sentiments, self-sacrifice, in order to save others, and even to save the enemy, he will not hesitate to sacrifice himself! However, I really can't accept such an answer. People with his status and status don't want to use their power to plan for their own interests.
