When Justu rushed to the palace, he saw that the meeting hall was already full of insects. Among the white figures, several northern generals wearing black and gold military uniforms looked unusually abrupt inside, with an arrogant and arrogant attitude. They were none other than Fae. Si them.
Justu squinted his eyes silently, obviously not understanding why those northern barbarians showed up at the meeting. He withdrew his gaze and sat down at the table. Admiral Safire happened to be next to him.
Justu frowned slightly and lowered his voice and asked, "Why did your Majesty suddenly summon us to the palace in such a hurry?"
Admiral Safire shook his head calmly, still looking as calm as a mountain: "His Majesty has negotiated with the northern Zerg to jointly eliminate the source of pollution. Today's meeting is to announce this matter."
Justustu paused when he heard this, as if he had guessed something, and did not ask any more questions. In fact, he had heard the news a long time ago, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
Not long after, military generals arrived one after another, including His Majesty Apu. He usually wears loose and casual clothes, but today he rarely wears a military uniform. His face is very similar to the previous insect emperor Geping, but his aura is even more unfathomable.
Seeing this, Justu couldn't help but think of his father, who had passed away long ago. He had only met him a few times when he was a child. Decades had passed in the blink of an eye, and his memory had long been blurred. But at this moment, it suddenly became clear, and it vaguely overlapped with His Majesty Apu in front of me, and I couldn't help but feel lost for a moment.
Justu remembered that His Majesty Gopin's body was buried deep in the jungle of Soridia, and he lowered his eyes and remained silent for no reason.
The meeting began. His Majesty Apu convened the military generals today to clear the source stone from the dense forest. He first ordered his subordinates to distribute a pollution index table to each general, and then said in a deep voice: "Sallylan France's pollution index has been rising exponentially in the past ten years, and the remaining cultivated land has also been greatly reduced. Whether it is in the west or the north, or the east or the south, they have all been affected. At this time We should overcome difficulties together.”
He paused before saying: "I have already discussed with the leader of Faus. The west and north will jointly select a group of A-level and above elites, and then form a team to enter the Zoritia dense forest to remove the source of pollution. The south and The eastern part is responsible for detection and reconnaissance, and we will provide assistance from the side. This time, we must completely eradicate the source of pollution.”
His Majesty Apu must sit in the imperial capital to stabilize the situation. Among the several princes, only Justu is suitable for this task. As long as the Origin Stone is successfully cleared, he will have enough confidence to succeed to the throne in the future—
His Majesty Apu believed that the throne should be fought for and fought for, and soldiers should not be afraid of death. However, when faced with the young Justu, he did not want him to be buried deep in the jungle like his dead brother, which rarely gave him regrets. room.
Justus frowned without a trace after hearing this. He pulled out his chair and stood up from the table. He raised his eyes and looked directly at His Majesty Apu and said, "Do you think I am afraid of death?"
"Justus, if you are not willing to carry out this mission, then stay in the imperial capital to supervise the country, and I will lead the team."
Faus also said boredly: "I'll listen to you."
The content of the following meetings was all related to the deployment of the army. Considering that any precision instruments would fail once they entered the depths of the dense forest, they obviously would not be able to carry too much detection equipment and baggage, so they would have to travel lightly.
Although this "confidence" is likely to be accompanied by life danger.
The northern Zerg have always been selfish and profit-oriented. Before this, they had never taken any measures to remove the source of pollution. If the pollution situation hadn't been severe this year, which had already endangered the Horsburgh area, Justu had reason to believe that they would continue to sit on the sidelines.
The military generals didn't say anything when they heard this. They had entered the Soritia jungle no less than a hundred times, but they never succeeded, and every time they lost a group of top elites, their hearts are bleeding when they think about it now.
The last sentence was full of sarcasm and provocation. Admiral Hammer looked angry when he heard this, and immediately slapped the table and stood up: "What do you savage and brainless insects know! Leading a team into a dense forest without being familiar with the terrain. It’s like sending yourself to death. If you don’t feel sorry for your fellow tribesmen, I feel sorry for my subordinates!”
Justus frowned unconsciously when he thought about this, but he still touched the shoulders of His Majesty Apu and saluted: "I will obey your will."
Admiral Hammer was furious: "You!"
Admiral Safire is experienced and has already taken countermeasures. Coupled with the terrain map provided by Lu Yuan before, their confidence is obviously much greater than last time.
Although Justu didn't like Admiral Hamer's forward-thinking attitude, he didn't like Faus's arrogance even more. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and sneered: "Even if the West stays in its comfort zone, it has been at least a hundred times. Is this your first time entering a dense forest in the north? It seems that you are tired of living in your comfort zone, and now you want to rush in and die."
"There are so many possibilities."
Faus raised his eyes coldly after hearing this, and was about to say something, but His Majesty Apu did not want to see their quarrel, frowned and interrupted: "Whether it is dangerous or not to enter the dense forest, it is urgent to remove the Origin Stone. This operation Just leave it to Justu and Faus to lead the team. Admiral Safire is experienced and will also enter with the troops. You two should follow his orders when necessary. "
He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice when the meeting ended. It wasn't until His Majesty Apu kicked the chair lightly that he slowly came to his senses.
Military females above level A in the army are the elite among the elite. It takes countless years of hard work to cultivate one. Now, most of them are suddenly sent to perform such a lifeless mission. Who can bear it? !
Faus was indifferent when he heard the words. His green eyes looked full of life at first glance, but in fact they were cold and cruel. He slowly raised his lips and said: "Then you just stay in your comfort zone and wait to be swallowed by pollution. At least you can get more Two days to live.”
Admiral Hammer frowned and broke the silence: "Your Majesty, the Soritia Jungle is full of dangers. We have not been able to accurately detect the terrain and environment inside. What if..."
Faus directly interrupted Admiral Hamer's words. He leaned back in his chair with an expressionless face and lazily crossed his legs. It was obvious that he looked down on these mother-in-law Western generals and said in an impatient tone: "Don't you Westerners always take glory? Do you regard it as life and believe in fighting to the death? Why are you afraid now? Wouldn't it be more honorable for you to die in a dense forest than to die under pollution? "
Justu was a little uneasy throughout the whole process. He knew that the battlefield was unpredictable and he could die deep in the jungle if he was not careful. In the past, he must have been fearless, but now he was about to become a partner with Lu Yuan. I also started thinking a lot.
His Majesty Apu's eyes were calm, as if he could see through Justu's heart, and he pointedly said: "Justu, you are not afraid of death, but you are afraid of the separation caused by death. In the long life of a military female, , you are only one-eighth of the way through, it would be a pity if you died in the jungle like your female father."
There were only two of them in the huge conference hall. His Majesty Apu patted Justu's shoulder without saying a word, then slowly tightened it, and seemed to sigh in a daze: "You are the only one among all the princes except Gain." The only king insect to break through to S level, his qualifications and military exploits are also the most eye-catching. Now he has a male insect with 100% blood purity as his partner. When he succeeds to the throne in the future... Justu, I don’t think the entire empire will There is no other female insect who can live a more regret-free life than you.”
His Majesty Apu has always been indifferent and cold-blooded, and he couldn't bear to break all this: "You can still change your mind before the team sets off next month. Although I hope that you can fulfill your brother's last wish as the crown prince, I also hope that you can Live well."
Justu interrupted: "No, I won't change my mind."
His deep voice echoed in the huge conference room, inexplicably a bit distant and lonely, but it could not conceal his determination: "The Gunhedra family has guarded this land for generations. We have never backed down, and we have never been afraid of death. I will fulfill the last wish that your father failed to fulfill, and I will continue to protect the people that your father failed to protect. As Faus said, if one day we will die and bury our bones deep in the forest, It is also the highest honor.”
His Majesty Apu frowned: "Aren't you afraid of being separated by life or death from that male insect?"
Justu said: "I will come back alive to see him."
He quietly stared into His Majesty Apu's eyes, as if he was making some solemn oath, and said seriously every word: "Uncle, I will successfully remove the Origin Stone, and I will come back alive for him."
The meeting didn't end until the afternoon. When Justu rushed back to the college, he discovered that Lu Yuan had sent him several messages asking where he was.
Justu didn't want Lu Yuan to know that he had rushed back to the palace to hold a military meeting in the morning. He used the excuse that he was in class and would go to the dormitory to find him in the evening. There happened to be two theory classes in the afternoon, so Justu went back to the classroom directly. After all, too many absences would affect graduation.
Yoriga was sitting in his seat reviewing his notes. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and realized that Justu was back. He clicked his tongue and said in surprise: "Justu, aren't you feeling unwell and have to lie down in the dormitory to rest? Why are you back again?" Class begins?"
Justu knew that he was being angry: "I feel comfortable now, can't I come back to class?"
Yoriga noticed that the insect pattern on the back of Justu's neck seemed to be a little discolored, and said in a sour tone: "Okay, of course. After all, it is a male insect with 100% blood purity. It is unreasonable to feel uncomfortable."
Justu glanced at him sideways and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What do you mean?"
Yoriga pursed his lips, indicating that there was something wrong with the back of his neck: "Hey Justu, your insect patterns have changed color. It's obvious that you have been marked by Mr. Lu Yuan. Why are you pretending to be stupid?"
Hearing this, Justu subconsciously touched the back of his neck, then reacted, straightened his collar unnaturally, frowned and said, "It has nothing to do with you, don't look at things you shouldn't look at."
Yoriga made a face at him: "The guy who burns bridges across rivers, if I had known I shouldn't have asked for leave for you this morning. But I heard from my brother that you will lead this operation to clean up the source of pollution, wouldn't you be able to do it soon? Are you going to separate from Mr. Lu Yuan?" All the female bugs underwent a physical examination this morning, and all those above level A were put on the action list by the military department. Mr. O'Hara was unwilling to let his younger brother "send death", so he secretly used his connections to remove Yoriga from the list, causing the latter to be very depressed now.
When Justu heard this, he paused for a moment, and then hummed inaudibly: "I will be back as soon as possible."
Yoriga looked strange, thinking that it was not a question of how long he would be back, but a question of whether he could come back, but he couldn't say it directly. He sighed and complained: "I really want to go with you for this operation. It will be recorded in history, how glorious.”
Justus obviously also knew the reason: "Master O'Hara is doing it for your own good, Yoriga, don't make him worry too much."
Yoriga curled his lips when he heard this: "I know, I'm just learning."
Military girls tend to get sleepy when they take such long lectures, and they fall down while the teacher is giving lectures.
Justu had never slept in class, but yesterday he and Lu Yuan were busy most of the night, and it was inevitable that he was a little listless. He yawned calmly and already regretted why he came to class. It would be more comfortable to go back to the dormitory and lie down to sleep.
The theory class teacher has a habit of procrastinating the class and does not allow students to rest even during breaks. Justus was taking notes boredly when he suddenly heard two soft sounds from the window next to him. He subconsciously looked up and saw Lu Yuan standing outside the corridor at some point.
Justu: "???"
Lu Yuan glanced at the teacher on the podium quietly through the window. Seeing that he was not looking this way, he made a gesture to Justu to open the window.
Justu didn't know why, but he still quietly opened the window while avoiding the teacher, and spoke to Lu Yuan in a low voice: "Why are you here?"
Lu Yuan couldn't say that he came to check on duty on purpose. After all, Justu didn't reply to his messages all morning, so the reason for going to class was too ridiculous. He casually put his coat on his shoulders, put his hands on the window sill and said, "I suspect you skipped class, so I came here to take a look, okay?"
Justus had a lump in his throat when he heard this, thinking that the image of himself as a scumbag could probably never be washed away in Lu Yuan's heart: "I'm still in class, you go back to the dormitory first, and I'll find you after class."
Lu Yuan didn't really come to check. He just went to the canteen for a walk and found that the kitchen utensils were empty. He discussed with the chef to borrow some and cooked some food and sent it over.
Lu Yuan handed a packaging bag to Justu directly through the window and said concisely: "Take it."
Justu was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What is this?"
Meals made with love specially made by me.
Lu Yuan didn't say anything and just said: "You will know after you open it and take a look. I will go back to the dormitory first. You can come to me after class."
After saying this, without waiting for Justu's reaction, he closed the window, turned around and left as coldly as he wanted.
"you… "
Justus was about to ask more questions, but saw that the teacher had already frowned and looked over. He quickly stuffed the bag under the table, and then continued to write notes with his head down without changing his expression. He felt inexplicably nervous in his heart: Could Lu Yuan have given one as a gift? Is the bomb coming
Yoriga watched the whole process as a big lightbulb. He was more curious than Justu about what was in the bag. Seeing the teacher continuing to lower his head to teach, he secretly touched Justu's arm: "Hey, the teacher is not looking here anymore. Please open it and take a look, what did Mr. Lu Yuan give you?"
They have no concept of gifts at all, because in Sallyland, only female insects give gifts to male insects, and there has never been a rule for male insects to give gifts to female insects.
Justu was also very curious. After hearing this, he had to open the bag in front of Yoriga, and found that it was filled with snacks in transparent boxes and a thermos cup. He couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Yoriga couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he saw this, and asked stumblingly: "Isn't it that Mr. Lu Yuan personally cooked for you and delivered it?"
He knew how good Lu Yuan was at cooking. This kind of packaged lunch box was not like the products sold outside. It looked like it was made by himself.
Justu also couldn't believe it. He frowned and opened the thermos cup, only to find that it contained a drink he had never seen before. It was brown in color and had a faint milky aroma.
Milk tea
This term popped up in Justu's mind. He remembered that Lu Yuan had mentioned it when chatting with him before, saying that the Zerg had a bitter leaf that could be made into milk tea if boiled with milk. It tasted very good, and he could make it with his own hands. This cup is a bit like it.
But is the bitter leaf brew really drinkable
Justus was suspicious and hesitantly took a sip, only to find that the taste was surprisingly good. He was about to take a second sip when he glanced inadvertently and saw Yoriga staring at him with green eyes next to him, greedy. His mouth was almost watering: "Justu, what are you drinking? It smells so good."
Justu: "..."
Justu immediately closed the lid, tightened it tightly without moving, and said expressionlessly: "Oh, it's nothing, maybe it's the drink Lu Yuan made himself."
Hearing this, Yoriga turned sour to lemon essence. He punched the table with envy, and lowered his voice and said bitterly: "Damn it! Did you save Salilanfa in your previous life?! You can meet such a good male insect. ! I don’t care, you must give me a box to try!”
Justu refused decisively: "No!"
Yoriga was unwilling to give in: "Half a box, half a box from the head office, right?!"
Justu: "No!"
Yoriga: "Are we brothers?!"
After hearing this, Justu hesitated for a moment and finally relaxed: "I'll give you one taste at most."
Yoriga: "Damn it, you are stingier than my brother!"
Justus and Yoriga have always had a harmonious relationship, and they have been bickering with each other for a few days. However, the female insects sitting around them all have subtle expressions on their faces, and their expressions are more complex than the others.
They were all children of nobles, and they had long been told by their elders that they must find a way to get close to the male insect whose blood was 100% pure, even if they offended Justu.
When Lu Yuan came over to deliver food just now, the sharp-eyed female insect had already recognized him. After all, with such unique black hair and black eyes, there was no other one in the entire academy. They never expected that Lu Yuan not only had no male pretensions, but also condescended to come over to give Yustu snacks. He also made them by himself, each piece of which was enough to make the surrounding people hear the conversation. Gotta bubble.
What kind of insect luck did Justu have? He unexpectedly encountered a male insect that was hard to find even with a lantern
Little did they know that at the stairwell at the corner of the corridor, Lu Yuan was making a small calculation in his mind, with a proud look on his face, as if he was sure of victory.
There is no free lunch in the world. If Justu eats his food, you have to take him to the jungle, otherwise this matter will never end!
