For several days in a row, the headlines of the optical network were all reporting on this incident, and each headline was more exaggerated than the last.
#Andrew: I thought the battle had just begun, but it turns out it's almost over. #
#Why should we cut the number of reinforcements? An interview with General Gu Huan: They are not qualified#
#Don't ask, the enemy is too weak#
The photos of Gu Huan and Mo Xiao were placed in the war section, which always made people think they had mistakenly entered the entertainment section. Their looks were comparable to those of entertainment stars, and young boys and girls who had never been interested in war paid rare attention to the war section. The hot search lasted for several days.
[General Gu Huan's subordinates are really amazing, their eyes are full of stars!!!]
[General Gu Huan is a beauty, and her subordinates all seem to be beauties too. I love red-haired beauties.]
[Have you seen the video recorded by the reporter on the front line? It’s amazing. Those mecha soldiers can’t even compare to our army’s mechas. When did we have such amazing mecha warriors? General Gu Huan’s army is too strong!!!]
[Gu Huan: Basic operation. Do not q]
[orz don’t ask me why I’m kneeling here watching the video. It’s really handsome]
This great victory not only affected the general public's understanding of the mecha team, but also attracted the attention of the military.
Before waiting for Mo Xiao to come back, Gu Huan was called by the old marshal to the military headquarters on the capital planet.
Walking into the Marshal's Mansion with its antique flavor, some images gradually emerged in Gu Huan's mind.
The original owner lived here when he was a child.
Walking down the corridor and passing the wooden carved door, he looked at the old marshal who was watering the potted plants. He stopped and saluted straight.
"teacher."
"You're here, Xiao Huan." The old marshal responded kindly while lowering his head to take care of the flowers.
Gu Huan nodded slightly. Before he had stood there for a while, he saw old Marshal Gu Zehai waving at him.
"Why are you standing so far away, Xiao Huan, come quickly and help me look at this flower, can you see if it can be saved?"
Gu Huan's eyes moved slightly and fell on the potted plant. He moved his feet obediently, walked to the old man and looked at the potted plant.
This is a pot of withered azalea.
Wearing white gloves, Gu Huan deftly took the flower out of the pot and carefully examined the root of the flower.
"Fortunately, we can save him."
After determining whether the flower could be saved, Gu Huan took the scissors from the old man and skillfully trimmed the withered branches and leaves and rotten roots. He then moved the flower into a new pot, filled it with soil, watered it, and then looked up and said to the old marshal.
"That's all."
"Then put it in a well-ventilated place and nurture it for a while, and it will be able to be saved."
The old man took the flowers from Gu Huan and said with emotion.
"As Xinglin said, you are very good at taking care of these flowers and plants."
I heard the old man suddenly mention Chu Xinglin.
Gu Huan's expression, which had been calm and composed until now, suddenly became a little stiff, and he subconsciously lowered his eyelashes, but these subtle changes in expression were not noticed by the old man.
"I don't have time to chat with him because I'm busy taking care of the flowers and plants every day. He's very lonely."
"..." Gu Huan was choked for a moment.
Chu Xinglin even told this to the old marshal.
I guess Chu Xinglin didn’t hide the fact that they were living together now.
Just as Gu Huan thought, not long after, the old man mentioned that Chu Xinglin had moved into his house.
"The other day I heard him say that he was living in your house now, and I was still worried... After all, you two have completely opposite personalities, and living too close to each other might lead to conflicts."
Even the best of friends need time to get used to each other when they become roommates.
At first, Gu Zehai was worried that Chu Xinglin's sudden impulse would cause the two of them to become alienated.
"But later, every time he contacted me, he would mention you, and I felt relieved that you two were getting along well."
Looking at the old man's gratified eyes, Gu Huan felt a little guilty.
More than good.
They rolled around in bed for two days and had almost done everything except the last step.
Moreover, he still only treats his grandson as a tool...
Because of this guilty conscience, Gu Huan pursed his lips and asked in a rare clear voice with a little tension.
"Don't you think it's a little strange that he lives in my house?"
Even if you are staying at a close friend's house, this is a bit too long.
He is the prince and has a lot of territories and properties. Although Jialin Star is very close to the capital star, it is not the capital star after all. It is inconvenient for him to go in and out of the parliament, the palace, and the military headquarters.
Mr. Gu frowned suddenly.
Looking at the old marshal's expression, Gu Huan clenched his fingers nervously, and then he heard it.
"Does he annoy you?"
Gu Huan: “…No.”
"If he annoys you, I will ask him to leave your house immediately. That brat is always up to something. When he was young, he even drove his mecha to a Zerg-infested planet and stayed there for a night. It doesn't matter where he stays. But if he stays in your house, I think someone can keep an eye on him a little bit."
The old man spoke of Chu Xinglin in a very intimate tone, as if Chu Xinglin was only three or four years old in his eyes.
Hearing about Chu Xinglin's past, Gu Huan opened his lips in surprise.
Drive a mecha to a Zerg-infested planet and stay there for a night
How to describe this? If he just ran away from home, we could say that Chu Xinglin was just an ordinary naughty kid.
But running to the Insect Star alone was beyond the scope of a naughty kid, because his naughtiness was far beyond that of an ordinary person, which made him seem quite brave.
Should we say that he is truly a reformist prince who always possesses a rebellious spirit
Gu Huan frowned slightly, somewhat disapproving of Chu Xinglin's risky behavior.
"Why would Your Highness want to go to a planet infested with Zerg?"
"He was only seven or eight years old at the time. The textbooks said that the Zerg were very powerful, but he didn't believe it. He had to see with his own eyes what the Zerg were like. He drove his mecha to a nearby planet. His Majesty was almost dying of anxiety at the time. He searched for him for a long time and finally found Chu Xinglin unconscious on a Zerg planet."
"Fortunately, the news that there were Zerg there was just false news, and he didn't encounter any real Zerg." Speaking of this, the old marshal still had some lingering fear.
“... ... Can he drive a mecha at such a young age?” Gu Huan asked.
"He is the crown prince, and he learned things that ordinary people may only learn after entering military school. He knows a little bit of everything." The old marshal said, and couldn't help but say with some pride. "And Xing Lin is extremely talented."
"... ..."
Gu Huan still agreed with this point.
The last time he dueled with Chu Xinglin in the virtual battlefield, Chu Xinglin found a way to crack it after looking at his steps for the second time, which shocked him for a while and even disrupted his offensive pace.
He has an excellent talent for fighting. Even if his mental strength is not as good as mine, he should be able to operate a mecha without any hassle.
Thinking of this, Gu Huan couldn't help but recall the prince in the original novel. The character of Chu Xinglin was quite perfect in the whole book, with excellent character. Apart from being a little vindictive, he had almost no shortcomings.
He is alive and leads everyone to declare war on the Zerg.
After his death, he is still our spiritual pillar.
The original owner was just a whetstone for this pillar of spiritual leadership, so dark and dark that he was not worth mentioning.
Gu Huan still finds it hard to believe that the sun, which should be out of reach, actually shines into his dark little corner and even approaches him in an almost humble manner.
After learning some interesting stories about Chu Xinglin from the old marshal, Gu Huan was a little absent-minded until the old marshal placed the new flower pot on a wooden bookshelf, and then he came back to his senses.
"Teacher, what is the matter that you called me here this time?"
Caressing the branches of the azalea, the old marshal's expression, which had just softened, gradually settled down.
"Why."
"As long as the roots of a withered flower are not rotten, you can prune off the rotten parts and it will survive."
"If the roots are rotten, it will be difficult to save it."
"... ..."
This opening remark made Gu Huan feel a little uneasy.
Gu Zehai shook his head slightly, turned around and said to Gu Huan, "Recently, there may be some changes in your military position."
change
His army was still under construction, why did he have to change it? Gu Huan was a little puzzled.
"Don't worry, your military rank will only go up and not down. No matter how thick-skinned they are, they don't have the guts to demote you."
After all, Gu Huan has real achievements and has never made any major mistakes. If he is to be demoted, no one among them can justify it.
"You have the rank of general now, and the position of corps commander is indeed a bit low. If it weren't for your mental strength, the decision to promote you would have been made long ago." When the old marshal mentioned this, he couldn't help but ask with concern. "By the way, Xiao Huan, how is your mental state?"
Think about how your mental powers are controlled.
Gu Huan couldn't help but blush on his fair face. He lowered his head and said lightly.
"It's all right now."
"Then I feel relieved." Gu Zehai felt relieved immediately when he heard Gu Huan say that there was no problem with his mental strength.
"Promotion is certain."
Promotion should be a good thing, but Gu Huan did not relax at all.
If it was just this news, Marshal Gu Zehai's expression would definitely not be so serious.
"but."
"Your assault regiment may change its organization and no longer exist as a pure mecha corps. Your captains may be sent to various places to serve as corps leaders."
Mo Xiao's action attracted the attention of some people.
Finally someone discovered, or rather, someone felt that the army under Gu Huan was a threat.
"Marshal, you know His Highness Chu...'s plan. No matter if I am the head of a corps or a commander, no matter if the army under my command is ten thousand or tens of thousands, I only need a corps that is fully capable of operating mechas." Gu Huan clenched his fingers.
Now someone actually wants to split his legion into several parts.
He would never agree to it.
He would never give these 2,500 people to anyone else.
"The Senate is still discussing this and has not made a formal decision. I asked you to come this time because I want you to attend the meeting with me next time. It should be better for you to express your wishes. Given our relationship, if I interfere in this matter, they may think I have selfish motives."
This is already an improvement. If this had happened in the past, there would have been no need for discussion and the Senate would have immediately dismantled Gu Huan's legion.
This time they actually started to discuss it. It must be said that Chu Xinglin's previous cleansing was effective.
It goes without saying who is behind this proposal.
—Chu Fengyuan.
A dark look flashed across Gu Huan's eyes.
