The Falcon Troop quickly arrived at the entrance of the village upstream of the West City Reservoir. Over sixty people gathered, their faces excited as they watched their captain and his wife appear hand in hand.
"Flaunting your love in public, I’m eating this dog food! Captain, when are you going to introduce us to so girls like your wife? We’ve been single for ages, eager to find soone too!"
A group of special forces soldiers, upon seeing their captain lovingly embracing his wife, felt blinded and protested one after another.
Gu Xu glanced at the bunch with disinterest and said, "Finding a wife is easy, but finding one like yours is hopeless; there’s only one of her in the world!"
"Damn, is this really our captain who was indifferent to worldly matters?"
"Did I travel through ti? Why does this feel so off to ?"
"Oh my, the captain’s vibe is all wrong. Is this the wrong way to open?"
Hearing Gu Xu’s high-profile declaration of ownership, the special forces soldiers began to howl in protest.
After so teasing, Gu Xu’s expression suddenly turned serious. He glanced at Huo Sining and then addressed everyone:
"Alright, you should know why I’ve called you here. Next, your sister-in-law will lead the team. She’ll be in control; everyone, including , will follow her orders, strike as directed, and follow all commands. Now, report your nicknas!"
Unlike the batch led by ng Jinlong, these Falcons raised no doubts and quickly reported their nicknas from left to right after Gu Xu’s instructions.
"Number one, Red Falcon!" "Number two, Mountain Eagle!" "Number three, Throat Wasp!" "..."
Nicknas reported, Huo Sining focused on each of them one by one, paused for a few seconds, and then nodded to Gu Xu.
Gu Xu imdiately caught on and waved his hand, "Let’s begin!"
Everyone got their gear ready and followed behind Huo Sining, working in perfect harmony, as if they were a unified whole. Indeed, all actions were directed by Huo Sining.
Huo Sining, leading such an earnest rescue operation for the first ti, was initially a bit nervous but quickly adjusted and commanded efficiently:
"Chima, Imperial Eagle, you go over there!"
"Field Bunting, Reed Warbler, lift the stone beam!"
"Cuckoo, Baii, head southwest, yes, there, remove the wooden planks below!"
"..."
The group of special forces, hearing Huo Sining’s commands, looked at each other in astonishnt.
"Sister-in-law, have you t us before?"
Huo Sining shook her head, "No, it’s my first ti eting you, I’ve only t Yu Fei from your team."
Upon hearing Huo Sining’s explanation, the special forces felt surprised and puzzled, as she had called each by their nickna without error.
If it was her first eting, how could she possibly know their nicknas so accurately?
Gu Xu, seemingly noticing their confusion, calmly explained, "The reason I had you report your nicknas just now was for this reason. Your sister-in-law has a great mory; she basically rembers who is who after hearing your nas once. It’s no big deal!"
Sixty-plus people reported their nicknas quickly, and she rembered every single one accurately? Calling this great mory is an understatent—it’s almost unnerving!
This realization changed how the special forces looked at Huo Sining; so who considered playing tricks on the captain and his young wife shrank under her sharp gaze, dispelling their mischievous thoughts.
What a joke; with the captain’s wife having such a good mory, any small action might be caught. It’s terrifying!
The special forces under Huo Sining’s command were cautious, obeying her every instruction. She quickly got into the flow of giving orders, and the team searched village by village, rescuing survivors one by one.
"Wow, the captain’s wife is amazing, almost like a living deity. She just touches a few places and can tell if anyone’s underground. That’s incredible!"
"Yeah, how does she do that?"
"Nothing strange about it. I heard from Yu Fei that the captain’s wife is into antiques and archaeology. There was an incident where the archaeology team discovered a tomb near Chang’an. Tomb robbers used explosives and collapsed it, yet the captain’s wife managed to sketch its underground structure using Feng Shui thod by hand! Yu Fei said this is called Dragon Vein Seeking, a mystical art understood only by certain sects, not shared publicly."
"So badass? Wow, this is indeed a power couple!"
"Our captain is impressive too. I used to worry he wouldn’t find a wife; now it seems his young wife is the perfect match!"
"Yeah, two geniuses; definitely a perfect match!"
Huo Sining’s ears were sharp, so despite being far away, she heard the special forces chatting about her and Gu Xu, which amused her.
Gu Xu’s lips curved slightly, "Ignore them, they’re a bunch of bachelors, haven’t seen won for twenty years."
Huo Sining chuckled as she treated a wound, "You, as the captain, should not only solve your life issues but create so opportunities for them too."
After pondering, Gu Xu replied, "I’ve always been impervious to won; even my secretary is male. If the guys hope to stop being bachelors through my help, they’re in for disappointnt. Since you’ve drawn their attention, how about you organize sothing?"
Being called "Madam" by Gu Xu made Huo Sining feel a pleasant tingle inside. Her face blushed, and after thinking for a few seconds, she replied,
"Qingqing and Yishan have boyfriends. But Jin Zhi and Qin Shui are single. I’ll ask them later, though I don’t know many single female friends, and there are too many of them here. I’m afraid it’s difficult!"
Gu Xu laughed out loud, rare to see his wife like this. He couldn’t help but ruffle her hair and laughed,
"No worries, let them compete healthily. Only those who learn how to win over my wife’s close friends and sisters will qualify to be my brothers-in-law!"
