Fortunately, it was Claire who asked the question. Seeing that she was the youngest among them all, it didn't matter if the question was childish.
If Bentley also asked this kind of question, Xiang Xue would really have to wonder where these people came from.
Qu Jianlei told the general situation.
Bentley and Xiao Qin had no expressions on their faces, while Hua Xiezhi and Claire both had disdain on their faces, obviously not taking City Garrison seriously.
Xiang Xue is not a person who is good at observing words and emotions, but he also noticed the disapproval of these two people.
She couldn't help but secretly wonder: Panda Where did you find this desperado?
Because Awakened One has privileges, there is no shortage of desperadoes among them, but most Awakened One prefer to enjoy a luxurious life.
It is not easy to collect such a group of desperadoes Awakened One, not to mention that there are many women in them and there are many mutant attributes.
When she was secretly surprised, Qu Jianlei and his group had already started planning how to deal with the Norton Family.
Because they have been stranded in space for more than three months, it is currently less than two months before they are awarded honors by the empire.
Official news shows that the head of the Norton Family has arrived at Capital Star, making it very difficult to do anything before the award.
Moreover, it is said that Norton Family's Supreme also escorted the family head to Capital Star.
Now Norton Family's security has been taken over by City Garrison.
The conferring of honors by the empire is a very solemn matter. If a tragedy occurred during Norton Family during the conferment of honors, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the empire? At that time, the entire Tianbing Star will become a laughing stock, and the government will undoubtedly suffer.
City Garrison is on very high alert because they have also heard that Norton Family has been causing trouble recently.
The government even spread rumors: Norton Family will never be allowed to get into trouble during the awarding period.
Of course, this may also be interpreted as another meaning: we will not care about it after the medal is awarded.
All in all, during this period of time, the Tianbing Star government did not allow anything to happen to the Norton Family.
There are secret reports that the government even coordinated with the Supreme People's Government to help pay attention to the Norton Family's safety issues.
However, Qu Jianlei's group of people didn't seem to care much about this, and were still analyzing the layout and defense of the Norton Family's manor.
Xiang Xue listened to them talking with great interest, and couldn't help but speak out, "Do you need my help to find someone to inquire?"
"Of course," Bentley replied without hesitation. Although he was eager to try the supreme power, at such a long age, he would never be blindly arrogant.
This Miss Xiang Xue has a good relationship with Jian Lei, and her father is the supreme leader. She took the initiative to ask for help, why should she refuse?
Qu Jianlei also knew that Grave Robber had a wide reach, but he still warned, "The matter is serious, please keep it confidential."
"Don't worry," Xiang Xue replied disapprovingly.
Early the next morning, the five of them went out to play as usual, looking like they were enjoying themselves.
But in fact, when they were playing, they also mentioned the situation of the Norton Manor from time to time.
In short, the plan is under planning, and there are many things that need to be implemented. Just make adjustments and changes constantly.
When doing such a big thing, it is necessary to be cautious so as not to affect their interest in playing.
Qu Jianlei is wandering around the city, no one knows what he is doing.
Another day passed, everyone gathered at the B&B in the evening, and Xiang Xue brought the latest news she had found out.
Grave Robber's presence in Tianbing Star Domain is not strong, and they are more active in Edge Star Domain.
Sky Handle is not without Archaeology Enthusiasts, but they are relatively scattered, and there are also branches of big forces studying this.
However, Xiang Xue still used the organization's Chess Piece to contact Norton Family's fans.
——There are too many people in those ancient families with inherited titles who like archeology.
In fact, Norton Family was awarded the honor this time because they donated antiquities to the empire.
The news that Xiang Xue learned was beyond everyone's expectations: Norton Family's supreme leader did not go to Capital Star, but was still at Sky Handle.
Qu Jianlei frowned slightly, "Are you sure Qian Feng is still here?"
Qianfeng Norton is the full name of the Supreme Being, but among the people present, he was the only one who dared to call him by his first name.
"This is what the news shows," Xiang Xue obviously couldn't guarantee it. "We still have to implement it personally to determine the specific situation."
The information she got was that the Supreme who appeared in Capital Star was just a stand-in for Qian Feng.
The real Qian Feng is currently lurking near the manor, waiting to capture the murderer who dares to attack his family.
Now, several capable City Garrison squadrons are deployed near the Norton Manor, with more than 500 people in total.
In addition, there is also the cooperation of the military's reserve forces. Although the number of Awakened One is Buduo, the equipment is extremely powerful.
With this kind of configuration, let alone ordinary Xiaoxiao disciples, even if the Supreme wanted to attack by force, they would not be able to do it overnight.
As long as these squadrons hinder the invading enemy for a moment, the government's warships will come to help, and the supreme commander who has greeted them in advance will also arrive.
In this case, the opponent does not have time to completely destroy Norton Family.
On the surface, this is to persuade the enemy to retreat so that he can survive the awarding period.
But Norton Family was unwilling to give in. Qian Feng made excuses to leave, but in fact he was lying in ambush around him, waiting to attack his opponents inside and outside.
Such secret information is supposed to be impossible for ordinary people to know.
However, a clan elder who loved antiques accidentally let slip that his family wanted more than just surviving this period of time.
When the clan leader comes back after being awarded the honor, the glory of the Norton Family will shine again.
What he said was not a leak, but the problem was that he looked more confident when he said it.
The speaker Wu Xin is interested in listening. People who are interested can get this tone, analyze it based on other situations, and make a judgment.
Xiang Xue did not elaborate on the specific logic and analysis, but said that she did not understand it very well - she was not a member of Grave Robber.
However, due to various past experiences, she is more confident in Grave Robber's judgment ability.
Finally, she also laid out the conclusions of the Grave Robbers.
"... There are various signs that the supreme man is not confident in annihilating his opponents. He wants to seize clues and figure out who his opponents are."
It's ironic to say that Norton Family suffered such a big loss. The grudge was clarified, but they didn't know who they offended.
The only clue is the dilapidated 8384 Ship, and the two supreme opponents Earth Attribute and Metal Attribute.
If you can figure out your opponent, whether it is fighting or negotiating, at least there will be corresponding operating ideas.
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and spoke slowly, "Then you guys rest first and I'll go investigate."
Xiang Xue heard this, blinked twice, and asked in shock, "In this case, do you still want to attack forcefully?"
"Maybe it's Smoke Grenade," Qu Jianlei wouldn't trust Grave Robber's information so blindly.
"Wouldn't it be ridiculous if just the rumor could scare me away?"
Hua Xiezhi immediately volunteered, "I'll go with you. The perimeter security is still fine."
Xiang Xue frowned, "Haiyin Family's Rhine will be back soon, why not wait for her?"
Qu Jianlei shook his head and answered casually, "Why owe that favor if it's not necessary?"
After saying that, he took Hua Xiezhi and left, leaving the four people in the room staring at each other.
Xiang Xue shook his head helplessly, "He's fine with everything, he just can't stand being angry."
The other three were silent. After a while, Bentley asked in a deep voice, "What are the attributes of the Norton Family's supreme power?"
Xiang Xue replied, "It's more difficult to fight... it's Metal Attribute."
Norton Family is relatively far away from Central City of Sky Handle. It took Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezhi a day and a night to get there.
It was night when they arrived, far away from the manor, and the two found that it was brightly lit.
Four tall towers were erected around the manor. There were bright lights on the towers and there were people on duty.
The surrounding area is covered with surveillance equipment and mobile sentries. At a glance, large-caliber artillery can be seen everywhere.
The weapons and equipment of the same City Garrison and Tai Du are about ten blocks away from here. These artillery are enough to kill the most.
Just by casually sensing it, you can feel the strong and tense smell.
Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezhi stood next to a large Stone five or six kilometers away, watching this scene silently.
After watching for a while, Hua Xiezhi made a suggestion, "Boss, how about Baitian come tomorrow? It will rain tomorrow."
Qu Jianlei shook his head when he heard this, "You know that rainy days are convenient for investigation, and the other party also knows it, so it's good now."
Hua Xiezhi thought about it and replied, "Then I can't help you. If you are discovered, I can make some noise."
Qu Jianlei heard Diandian's head. What he admired most about Hua Xiezhi was that he was decisive in killing, but also knew how to act within his ability.
In this case, it is the most unwise to force oneself to show off. Just make a good start.
Qu Jianlei's body swayed and disappeared into the night. Even Hua Xiezhi didn't feel how he disappeared.
After the boss left, she didn't stay idle. She made several traps and detonators from a distance, then hid and quietly sensed.
She waited all night, and when it was almost dawn, the air around her fluctuated, and Qu Jianlei appeared.
"Did you make those traps? Okay, put them away while it's still dark, and pay attention to restoring them to their original state."
"Don't worry!" Hua Xiezhi's figure was erratic, he put away the traps one by one, and the two of them left gracefully.
Twenty kilometers away, there was a small city, and the two chose a forest to rest.
Seeing the calm look on the boss's face, Hua Xiezhi asked aloud, "Is there anything gained?"
"Not sure," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "But there is indeed an ambush five kilometers away from the southeast corner. It's very hidden."
"Then it wasn't very close to us at that time?" Hua Xiezhi was stunned when he heard this, "This is really a fluke."
Qu Jianlei shook his head, "It's not a fluke. The people in the bunker focus on the manor, regardless of the warnings around them."
"Then they are really going to ambush us," Hua Xiezhi Diandian nodded thoughtfully.
Then she asked aloud, "Norton Family, the majestic Supreme Being, isn't hiding in the bunker, is he?"
Qu Jianlei replied disapprovingly, "As long as you can win, you can hide in the sewers."
