Jiang Li was invited by Qiao Xi at the end of the five-in-three competition.
In view of the reason why Qiao Xi didn't let Lu Heng drive the mech before, he thought that the other party would not pay attention to this competition, but he didn't expect him to be upstairs.
"Major Jiang is taking the liberty to come over, isn't it abrupt?" Qiao Xi said to Jiang Li with a smile, raising her hand to signal him to sit down.
"It was Jiang Li who was rude and didn't come over to say hello to the queen in time." Jiang Li saluted her before sitting down.
During the conversation, Jiang Li learned that Qiao Xi had been present since yesterday's preliminaries, but he didn't tell Lu Heng, presumably because he was afraid of putting pressure on him.
At first, Jiang Li and Qiao Xi were just chatting, and Jiang Li couldn't guess the reason why she invited him over this time. After all, Lu Heng told her the news on the second day after confirming the relationship with Lu Heng. It's just that she didn't take the initiative to mention it, so he didn't know it.
After Qiao Xi asked about Lu Heng's situation in the military academy, a voice came from the electronic screen, indicating that the three-in-two match was about to start, and the first match was: Lu Heng VS Lou Jia.
Hearing the voice, Jiang Li and Qiao Xi looked at the screen at the same time and terminated the conversation tacitly.
Those who can enter the top three are all relatively good players. The player named Lou Jia, Jiang Li, is also very impressive. The performance in the first few games is very outstanding. Lu Heng met him, and met Qiao Chen. difference.
During Lu Heng's match, Jiang Li noticed that Qiao Xi was a little nervous. She looked at the screen with her brows tightly furrowed. When Lu Heng was almost swept away by the opponent's long sword, she even stood up from her seat. , and shouted at the person on the screen: "Be careful!"
Lu Heng drove the mecha to avoid the opponent's attack, opened the tail, and rushed directly into the air. At the same time, the wings on the shoulders opened, white light and shadow gathered, and fired the particle cannon at the opponent.
The opponent dodged the particle cannon and fought with Lu Heng in the air.
Seeing Qiao Xi's hands tightly clenched into fists, Jiang Li said to her, "Don't worry, with Lu Heng's strength, nothing will happen."
Hearing this, Qiao Xi turned her head and met his eyes. Seeing the confidence and calmness in his eyes, she suddenly relaxed, smiled, and sat back again: "Sorry, I made you laugh."
She paused, and then said: "For some reason, I forced Lu Heng to give up the mecha for a long, long time, so seeing him fighting with others, I couldn't help being afraid."
Jiang Li nodded: "I can understand."
Jiang Li's "I can understand" is a double meaning, one is to understand her current fear, and the other is to understand her previous fear.
Qiao Xi is a smart person, so he understood what he meant: "Lu Heng should have told you about these things, right? After all, he likes you so much."
Jiang Li saw the meaning of teasing in Qiao Xi's eyes. If it was someone else, he might feel a little embarrassed or embarrassed, but Jiang Li has lived for several lifetimes, so he admitted openly: "With me said."
Qiao Xi's eyes fell on the black mecha that was fighting with people on the screen. It was the mecha driven by Lu Heng. The black mecha was like a sharp sword, and it gradually gained the upper hand in the competition, knocking out the opponent. We have to retreat steadily.
Qiao Xi had mixed emotions in her heart, and stared at it intently, until the three big characters "Lu Hengsheng" appeared on the screen, and then she slowly let go of her thoughts, and turned to Jiang Li: "Major Jiang, I have something I want to ask." you."
"You say."
"As a soldier, are you really not afraid of death? Every time you go to the battlefield, aren't you afraid?" Qiao Xi asked.
"Of course not." Jiang Li smiled, "No one is not afraid of death, but sometimes faith is more important than life."
"Faith? You mean..."
Jiang Li and her looked at each other, and his tone was soft but undeniably firm: "The country."
What he was talking about was not his own belief, but his original body, the Major Jiang who dedicated everything to the empire and took protecting the empire as his mission.
The other party loves the planet Norman so much, even though his soul has disappeared in this time and space, his last wish is still to protect this planet and this country.
Qiao Xi felt the determination in his eyes, and couldn't help being stunned, her thoughts uncontrollably went back to many years ago.
She thought of her two sons.
During the Battle of Egrets, she chased them out of the palace gate to see them off. They turned back, hugged themselves, and told her that they were the princes of the empire, and they had the responsibility to protect this country, protect those unarmed people, and more importantly , her father is not here, they should protect her even more.
Her two sons, the pride of the empire, kept their promise.
But he failed to fulfill the "safe return" promised to her.
Whenever Qiao Xi thinks of the scene where their bodies were brought back, she can't be at peace, and time can't erase the pain. Every time she recalls, it's like a knife is pierced into her heart. It stabbed her where she was most vulnerable, making her unable to control herself.
But this time she was scrupled that Jiang Li was beside her, so she quickly calmed down and said apologetically, "I made you laugh."
Jiang Li shook his head, still saying the same thing: "I can understand."
I understand how desperate a mother will be when she sees the bodies of her two sons being sent back with her own eyes. Anyone who is not strong enough may not be able to bear it anymore.
She wanted to protect Lu Heng, but not in the way Lu Heng wanted.
Qiao Xi was silent for a while: "Actually, I invited you here this time because I hope you can do me a favor."
Jiang Li guessed what she was going to say and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't promise you."
"What if I say I can let you go back to the military?" Qiao Xi looked at him, trying to persuade him, "As long as you help me persuade Lu Heng not to join the army or go to the battlefield, I can guarantee that all your previous honors , will return to your hands."
"Are you making a deal with me?" Jiang Li smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "It's still the same sentence, I can't promise you."
"Didn't you say this is your belief?" Qiao Xi frowned, seemingly displeased.
"Yes." Jiang Li nodded, "But that doesn't mean it can be exchanged with Lu Heng."
The two looked at each other quietly, the originally harmonious atmosphere became a bit depressed, and the two sides did not back down.
After a long while, Qiao Xi suddenly smiled lightly, shook her head and said, "It really hit the spot for that brat."
Jiang Li didn't know, so: "Huh?"
"I made a bet with that brat Lu Heng on whether you would agree to the exchange, and he said with certainty that you would never agree." Qiao Xi explained, took a deep breath, and said in a tone almost sighing, " I can't help my son, and I have nothing to do."
There was relief and a little sourness in her tone, Jiang Li was about to comfort her, when Xuan Ying said: "Queen, you don't have to worry, the fourth prince has grown up now, he is capable of protecting himself, I also have the ability to protect him, please rest assured."
Usually, Xuan Ying gave Jiang Li the impression of being "loofy" and "coquettish", but when he suddenly heard him speak in such a cautious tone, he was not used to it, and even the silver bird next to him gave Xuan Ying a strange look .
When the two chatted here, there was a knock on the door outside, and they turned their heads to see Lu Heng walking in.
Qiao Xi saw him and waved: "Come here."
Lu Heng walked over, sat down beside Jiang Li, and asked Qiao Xi: "When did the queen mother come, why didn't you tell me?"
"You're only looking for your Instructor Jiang, how do you know if I'm here?" Qiao Xi glanced at him and said in a sour tone.
Jiang Li: "..."
This kind of half-sour and half-sarcasm made Jiang Li speechless for a while, but Lu Heng didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said naturally: "Didn't the father say that? The sky is big, and the daughter-in-law is the biggest."
Jiang Li: "..." You can shut up.
Xuanying: "Hmm!"
Yinque: "What are you doing?"
"That's right." Lu Heng suddenly remembered something, slapped his thigh, looked at Jiang Li and said, "It happens that the queen mother is here, let's discuss when to get married."
"puff!"
Jiang Li almost spit out a mouthful of tea, but Lu Heng quickly pulled a tissue for him, wiped his mouth and said, "I know you're happy, but don't be so excited!"
"..."
Seeing Qiao Xi's indescribable gaze, Jiang Li thought, I'm so excited, I was scared by you! ! !
"Major Jiang means..." Qiao Xi hesitated to speak.
"Cough!" Jiang Li patted Lu Heng's hand away, "Let's talk about Lu Heng's graduation."
Lu Heng: "..." How long has it been since I started school, you told me to graduate?
After the three-to-two competition, Qiao Chen entered the final just like Lu Heng. This result can be said to have been expected by Jiang Li and Lu Heng.
Before the start of the final, the contestants had half an hour to rest. Lu Heng took advantage of Jiang Li's unpreparedness to hold the back of his head with one hand when he left. He quickly kissed his forehead and said softly, "Wait until I get the trophy back."
With Qiao Xi still at the side, Jiang Li couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and coughed lightly: "Come on."
Lu Heng smiled, turned around and hugged Qiao Xi, Qiao Xi patted him on the back, and told him, "Be careful."
"it is good."
When the game was about to start, Lu Heng and Qiao Chen detonated the audience's shouts as soon as they entered the arena. One of them is the fourth prince of the empire, and the other is the grandson of the general of the army. Both of them are extremely noble and powerful. .
"Fourth Prince! Fourth Prince! Fourth Prince!!"
"Master Joe! Master Joe! Master Joe!!"
Supporters on both sides shouted passionately, and the louder cheers almost overturned the entire venue!
In the VIP auditorium, the students in Zone D held up a huge sign saying "Lu Heng must win!", pumping their fists in unison, in stark contrast to the students in Zone A who were trying to maintain their image.
Lu Heng's mecha is still black, while Qiao Chen's is dark blue. The two mechas are the same height and shape.
When the host announced the start of the game, the two sides moved at the same time, so fast that they almost became ghost images. Before the audience could react, two mechas, one black and one blue, appeared in the air. The collision of the spears made a huge sound and brilliant sparks.
There was a brief silence in the auditorium, and then louder cheers broke out.
"The fourth prince must win! The fourth prince must win! The fourth prince must win!!"
"Come on, Master Qiao! Come on, Master Qiao! Come on, Master Qiao!!"
The weapons intersected only for a short moment, and the two mechs retreated quickly under the pressure of the opponent's weapons, and then fought together again.
They seem to have given up on long-distance attacks, and have always chosen to fight in close quarters. In the attacks you come and go, you can't tell who has the upper hand, and everyone is dazzled.
The black mecha dodged beautifully, dodging the blue mecha's lightsaber, and then kicked the opponent away with a horizontal kick, and then the speed of light appeared above the opponent, and raised his fist to smash it to the ground!
The blue mecha smashed the playing field into a huge pit, and broken bricks and dust flew everywhere.
The black mecha was suspended in mid-air, the light bullets on both arms opened, and fired towards the big pit on the ground. The next second, a blue light shadow flew out from the dust, quickly avoiding the light bullets, and the lightsaber in his hand went from bottom to top Suddenly, a sharp white light was drawn towards the black mecha. The black mecha couldn't dodge in time, and half of the shoulder armor was cut off!
The strength of the two mechas was equal, and the battle was indistinguishable. Every time they attacked, they carried a thunderous aura.
The length of the fight between the two was beyond everyone's expectations. The strength of the two sides did not look like freshmen at all. When the blue mecha fell to the ground and stopped getting up, almost the entire audience stood up. , "Four Princes" resounded throughout Jiada Square!
Three large characters were displayed on the huge electronic screen - Lu Hengsheng.
Lu Heng won the mecha competition this time, and it can be said that he slapped the faces of those who looked down on District D in Districts A, B, and C of the military academy. "Fourth prince, I love you" all shouted out.
During the award ceremony, all the contestants under the leadership of the chief officer were under the podium, and the top three contestants stood on the podium.
It was a lieutenant general from the military who presented the awards to the contestants. He handed over the medals and trophies belonging to the champion to Lu Heng. After saying a few words of encouragement, he went down. The host asked Lu Heng to give a speech.
Lu Heng held the trophy in one hand and the microphone in the other: "I have nothing to say, I just have one thing to ask my instructor."
His words made everyone's eyes turn to Jiang Li who was standing in the audience.
The curious eyes from tens of thousands of people gave Jiang Li a bad feeling, and sure enough, Lu Heng asked loudly in the next second: "Instructor Jiang Li, it's still too long before I graduate, can I apply first?" Marry you?!!!!!!!!!"
Jiang Li: "..."
Fuck me, now the whole empire knows that I am in a teacher-student relationship.
