Just when Duan Hengye was nervously recalling the content of the royal family and Nan Zhuxing in "Dumping the Stars", Zhuo Yan finally left the room with a sneer. After the back of His Majesty the Emperor completely disappeared from the door, Duan Hengye still stood there, the Marshal turned around and said, pulling his mind back, "Aheng, you slept for almost six hours."
"...Huh?" Duan Hengye was stunned when he heard Meng Jinhuai speak suddenly, and then realized that he was talking to himself. However, noticing the apparent absence of the other party's performance, Meng Jinhuai didn't seem to mind at all.
Before Zhuo Yan came in, Duan Hengye was about to open the side window of this bedroom. As if he had the ability to read minds, while Duan Hengye was thinking about how to answer this sentence, Meng Jinhuai actually walked over and opened the window.
The speed of transportation in the interstellar era has been greatly improved. Sometimes it only takes a few minutes to cross a hemisphere. People have long since lost the concept of "jet lag". The silver walls slowly opened, and a splendid starry sky emerged from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Seeing this dark night, Duan Hengye reflexively felt that "it was already midnight".
"I just informed Nan Zhuxing to announce the news of your waking up." Meng Jinhuai said as he walked to the white wardrobe in the corner of the room. There are dozens of coats of different styles hanging in this cabinet. Meng Jinhuai paused for a moment, and then took out a beige trench coat from inside. "Today's events have a great impact, and the people of the empire are very concerned about your state." After speaking, the Marshal came over and gently draped the trench coat over Duan Hengye's shoulders.
During the period of coma, in order to facilitate Duan Hengye to rest, the robot took off the white suit on him. At this time, Heng Ye was only wearing the inner shirt, which was somewhat like linen. Good-looking is good-looking, but it does not block the wind at all.
When Zhuo Yan was in the room just now, Duan Hengye only cared about dealing with the other party, but now only after Meng Jinhuai reminded him did he realize that his clothes were indeed a little thin.
After the sensing device found that the wardrobe was opened, a large mirror appeared on the metal wall. Duan Hengye glanced at himself in the mirror, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart - I didn't expect the marshal's fashion sense to be quite good!
The coat that Meng Jinhuai put on for him is simple in style and has a slim fit. After putting it on, Duan Hengye's slender figure is fully revealed. With this picture of him "recovering from a serious illness", it really seems to have a sense of vulnerability that is difficult to describe in words.
Just as Duan Hengye looked at the mirror, Meng Jinhuai took out a black coat from the wardrobe. After seeing the other party's actions, Duan Hengye remembered later that Meng Jinhuai had come in a hurry, and he had been wearing only a shirt just now.
The clothes prepared in this hotel are all Interstellar high-end seasons, and the overall style is more casual. After Meng Jinhuai put on the coat, Duan Hengye suddenly realized that this was the first time he had seen the Marshal wearing this type of clothes. Can't help... Duan Hengye secretly glanced at Meng Jinhuai a few more times.
The marshal has wide shoulders and long legs, which is a standard clothes rack. When I was wearing a military uniform before, as long as I didn't laugh, I would have a sense of abstinence. But now, when he changed into casual clothes, not only did his aura remain unchanged, but he also had a little more refined taste.
At this time, Heng Ye had to admit that the Marshal had completely grown up on his own aesthetic point...
Duan Hengye was a person who was not good at sneaking glances. In fact, Meng Jinhuai had already noticed that the other party's eyes were not concealed at all. He couldn't help laughing while sorting his collar, then walked over to Duan Hengye and said, "It's getting late, let's go out for dinner."
Although he was still peeking at the last second, after hearing the other party's invitation to dinner, Duan Hengye finally remembered the serious business that he had forgotten about for a long time. Although Duan Hengye knew that he was not worthy of talking about "trust value" as an undercover agent. But he still thinks that he should refer to the statement of the royal family and "explain" to the Marshal a little at the first time that he concealed his skills and did not report it.
"Today's matter..." Duan Hengye hesitated. But before he could say what he finally made up, Meng Jinhuai shook his head gently and said, "It's a good thing to have the ability to protect ourselves. Although we are legal spouses, we also have the right to have our own privacy. "
Hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help being slightly startled, then raised his head and looked into his eyes - the eyes of the Marshal were full of sincerity, obviously he did not say these words casually.
Duan Hengye thought that maybe he understood what Meng Jinhuai meant: before they became the "marshal husband" in the people's mouth, they were two separate individuals first.
Although he is currently on opposite sides of him, Duan Hengye has already felt Meng Jinhuai's personality charm in the day-to-day interaction. If he wants to be able to return to his original world one day, he will definitely vote for the Marshal in the "Dumping Stars" character popularity selection.
After finishing his wild thoughts, Duan Hengye suddenly felt that, as an "undercover", his conscience was once again severely condemned.
Professor Duan didn't know. Seeing how he was trying to say something but couldn't say it, Meng Jinhuai who was standing beside him couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
I don't know since when, Meng Jinhuai felt that his spouse began to get "angry" every day. Especially today, probably because of the critical situation, although most of the time he was still paralyzed as usual, Duan Hengye's emotions were obviously more exposed.
It stands to reason that Meng Jinhuai can directly arrange for the robot to deliver dinner to the room. But after seeing Duan Hengye shut down the simulator, leaving a room of cold whiteness, he didn't want to do it anymore.
The hotel called "Zhilai" is huge. After walking out of the door, Duan Hengye realized that the outside of the room he lived in was not the corridor he imagined, but a silver indoor square—a space of thousands of square meters. Bare and nothing. As an interstellar top luxury hotel, this unadorned appearance is indeed a bit strange.
Duan Hengye, who woke up just now, didn't know that he and Meng Jinhuai would have lived in the official residence of the head of Tizexing according to the practice of the empire. But because of the incident this morning, the marshal temporarily changed his residence to this hotel.
After going out, Meng Jinhuai walked with Duan Hengye to the other end of the square and explained, "The hotel 'Zhilai' has been around for a few years. When it was just built, Tizexing hadn't fought yet." Duan Hengye replied. He was very interested in the history of Interstellar. After Meng Jinhuai spoke, he listened carefully.
"Out of secrecy, very few people know about it, because of its sheer size and the sturdiness of the building. This luxury hotel had undergone a series of renovations when Tezestar was at war, and had been stationed by the military for a long time. So Speaking of the security level, there is no way for the mansion to compare to this place." Meng Jinhuai said as he walked.
Duan Hengye understood that although the large-scale war had gradually faded away, the "VIP area" he was in had not recovered from the wartime state until now. After estimating the height of the floor here, as a mecha designer, he immediately reacted - the open space he was in at this time should be used to park the mecha.
Just when Duan Hengye was estimating the number of mechas parked in his heart, Meng Jinhuai suddenly slowed down, then lowered his head slightly and looked into Duan Hengye's eyes and said, "Zhilai's VIP area has 270 floors."
"...Okay." Duan Hengye gave up the estimate. As a transmigrator, he obviously underestimated the meaning of Meng Jinhuai's "large scale". Seeing Duan Hengye's obvious pause, Meng Jinhuai smiled and put his hand on his shoulder gently. "So don't worry, now there are people from the military everywhere." The Marshal said in a relaxed tone.
According to the regulations of the empire, after the recovery of Tizexing, the military should no longer intervene in the affairs here. But because of the accident for a few hours, the power of Tizexing returned to this planet again. Duan Hengye thought, perhaps it's not Zhuo Yan's fault for being wary, Meng Jinhuai is indeed a person who is good at seizing every opportunity.
…
This hotel is the largest one on the Tixing Star. For the Marshal's visit today, staff from various interstellar media have been stationed here in advance. After the incident this morning, countless empire and military staff also rushed over from all corners of the interstellar space on starships. For a time, the hotel that was originally deserted due to high consumption suddenly became extremely lively.
Although the night was getting dark, the Interstellar Era has always been less particular about meals, and the restaurant on the top floor of the hotel was a lively time. Many reporters even took this opportunity to surround the staff who just came out of the conference room to eat, trying to learn the specific situation of the incident from their mouths.
These reporters who are trying to exchange information and want to get gossip do not know that the protagonist of the incident is now slowly walking towards him...
After walking out of the empty "square", Duan Hengye finally saw the lively scene in the restaurant.
The hotel consists of two tower-shaped buildings, one of which is the VIP area and the other is the general area. The restaurant is located right in the middle of the two buildings. However, although the living area is divided into two areas, the restaurants in Zhilai are indeed interconnected, but there is a special "light wall" between them.
Although this translucent light wall looks ordinary, it can block all quantum and laser weapons. If someone intends to break in, the sensing device will automatically stun the person temporarily. So although it looked nothing special, no one in the hall dared to approach this side.
Perhaps it is because the front of the translucent light wall is too empty, and when someone appears on the other side, the people on this side can see it clearly...
The restaurant was full of people, and reporters were standing all over the floor chatting and exchanging information. I don't know who exclaimed first, and then everyone turned their eyes towards the wall of light.
I saw that separated by a light blue light curtain, two men who were familiar to all reporters were walking towards the other end of the restaurant from behind the light curtain. One of them was wearing a beige trench coat. Although he looked a little weak, his overall condition had obviously recovered a lot. As for the man beside him... When everyone finally turned their attention away from the man in white, they realized that the man in the black casual coat beside him was the marshal!
In an instant, the originally noisy hall immediately quieted down.
- No matter who it is, it will be shocked to see the object that he was discussing and guessing suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, let alone the person who suddenly appeared here is Meng Jinhuai!
As a military high with few personal trips. Officer, it is not an exaggeration to call Lord Marshal the most difficult celebrity to encounter in the interstellar space. And even during working hours, some activities of the military department only arrange interviews with a few fixed media. Therefore, for most reporters, seeing Meng Jinhuai with their own eyes will complete most of their careers. Not to mention... Now he is obviously not working, with Duan Hengye standing beside him!
Not long ago, the media received news from the military that Duan Hengye was awake now and his health was fine. However, since this was only a written statement, Duan Hengye himself did not show up, so with a good spirit of questioning, many people were speculating whether the news was true or false.
It is no exaggeration to say that many reporters gathered in the restaurant are here to verify this news.
The sudden appearance of Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai at this moment even caused some reporters to wonder if they were hallucinating due to fatigue.
Seeing that the two of them were about to walk to the other side of the hall, finally a bold and quick-response reporter took out the camera that they were carrying. He was located very close to the light curtain, and of course Meng Jinhuai also noticed the reporter's actions. Somewhat surprisingly, the Marshal did not refuse to shoot, he even stopped and turned around and waved slightly towards the hall. After seeing Meng Jinhuai's actions, Duan Hengye also stopped habitually.
Unlike Duan Hengye who slept for a long time, Meng Jinhuai has been following the news of public opinion on Xingwang today. He knew what the reporters were thinking now, so after noticing Duan Hengye's stop, Meng Jinhuai leaned over gently and whispered in his ear, "The reporters just received the news that you woke up."
He didn't seem to think that Meng Jinhuai would suddenly approach. After feeling the warm breath coming from the top of his neck, Duan Hengye's fingers that were hanging by his side also trembled slightly.
"Yeah." Duan Hengye turned around pretending to be indifferent, and then nodded to the reporters in front.
Although Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai didn't stop here for too long, the few seconds of the scene were enough for the reporters to play. It was not until the two of them said hello and disappeared at the other end of the restaurant that the reporter who took out the camera at the right time finally remembered to turn off the machine.
Just a few minutes later, the edited picture was uploaded to the star network. And the scene where the marshal turned his head and spoke in Duan Hengye's ear was repeated by countless people to the next day...
Zhilai's VIP restaurant needs to be entered from the lower floor by a levitation device. After slowly passing through the silver-white ceiling above his head, Duan Hengye found out that this box turned out to be completely transparent on all sides. Different from the fake interstellar scene made with the simulator just now, through the transparent wall, there is indeed a real galaxy outside the restaurant.
Although Duan Hengye had just seen an incomparably beautiful galaxy on the way to Tizexing, it did not prevent him from being attracted by the beautiful scenery outside the window at this moment.
Dinner was already ready, and after the two sat down, the robot here brought the dishes one by one. While the robot was setting the table, Duan Hengye was admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window, while Meng Jinhuai was observing the person sitting opposite.
This time Meng Jinhuai did not hide his eyes, but Duan Hengye realized that the other party was looking at him after a while.
The atmosphere became a little embarrassing for a while, maybe Meng Jinhuai also felt this, and he finally broke the silence, "I didn't know about your Majesty's mention of Xingxing in advance."
Hearing the word "Your Majesty", Duan Hengye immediately focused. He never forgot that he was an undercover agent sent by the other party... Today, Zhuo Yan's sudden appearance, coupled with a lot of inexplicable words, made Duan Hengye nervous when he heard the other party's name.
After saying the last sentence, Meng Jinhuai did not continue, but raised his head slightly and glanced at Duan Hengye, then asked, "Does A Heng know why he came here?"
After Meng Jinhuai finished asking, Duan Hengye's mind immediately flashed rows of bright red exclamation marks - all of the above came from the "undercover" instinct.
Thanks to getting along with Meng Jinhuai during this time, Duan Hengye's psychological quality and acting skills have been greatly improved. After hearing the other party's question, although he was nervous for a while, he finally shook his head as if it had nothing to do with him, "... I don't know, he didn't tell me anything important."
"Yeah." Meng Jinhuai nodded and said, "Your Majesty didn't disturb anyone when he came down to mention Zexing. I didn't receive the news until he arrived in Zhilai."
Although Zhuo Yan clearly showed an interest in him, Duan Hengye was not a narcissistic person after all. He knew very well that, as the emperor of Ye Tian Empire, Zhuo Yan would never leave Capital Star rashly if there were no major events. Since he personally came to Tizhe Xing, where the situation is still unstable, he definitely has something to do.
Just when Duan Hengye was thinking about what Zhuo Yan was going to do here, Meng Jinhuai, who was sitting across from him, suddenly took out his light brain. Although the light brain has excellent entertainment functions, in Duan Hengye's impression, the Marshal has always used it for work.
As a professional undercover agent, Duan Hengye lowered his head very tacitly, preparing to pretend not to be interested in his work. But what he didn't expect was that Meng Jinhuai suddenly opened the light screen in front of him, "Your Majesty is finally willing to announce his intentions." The Marshal looked at the light screen and said.
Hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye raised his head and looked at Guangping screen.
The location of the video was probably the study of a certain suite. Zhuo Yan was sitting behind the desk, and the attendant who was in charge of the message this morning was standing beside him.
"Look behind him." Meng Jinhuai suddenly reminded.
After the voice fell, Duan Hengye couldn't help but look at the floor-to-ceiling window behind Zhuo Yan. I saw that not far from the window, a lit tower-shaped building completely snatched the limelight from the sky. At this time, Zhuo Yan is also in the VIP area of Zhilai! The building behind him is another building of the hotel. This is very obvious, and the reporters who are watching the live broadcast will find out after a little careful attention...
In the light screen, the attendant was seriously reporting the news that Zhuo Yan had arrived at Tise Star an hour ago.
… If Duan Hengye remembers correctly, the Yetian Empire royal family has not officially announced the emperor's itinerary for many years. Not to mention that this time Zhuo Yan arrived at a planet that was still in a dangerous state at such a special time.
Duan Hengye's intuition told him that what the royal family was about to announce next should be something that was never mentioned in the book, completely detached from what he had foreseen.
Few people like the unknown, especially when these two words are tightly bound to their own destiny.
In a short period of time, Duan Hengye quickly went through what happened during this period of time in his mind.
Although it is an important male supporting role, "Dumping the Stars" is a novel revolving around the heroine's life after all, and many incidents about Meng Jinhuai are only briefly mentioned. But in those casual sentences, there is a description of the marshal's assassination more than once.
Duan Hengye thought that in the original book, Meng Jinhuai and the original owner had probably encountered a similar incident in Tizexing. As you can imagine, according to the original owner's personality, he will definitely choose to find a safe place to watch this matter indifferently, or just do simple defense. If he did not deal with the killer together with Meng Jinhuai, his public prestige would naturally not increase, and the royal family would not make crazy proposals to "replace" him.
Although the spokesperson has not disclosed the purpose of the royal family at this time, Duan Hengye has been able to confirm that the serious deviation of this plot definitely has its own credit... I don't know whether to cry or laugh now.
Everyone could see that Zhuo Yan's arrival was very purposeful, and the attendant didn't mean to betray him. During this brief pause, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on Duan Hengye's palm. Finally, the men in the light screen glanced at the camera, and then slowly said their final intention: "... Since the incident this morning, the royal family has been following the progress of the investigation... "
Duan Hengye stared at the light screen, the man in the picture slowly raised his head, and then spoke to the camera about the royal family's intentions-due to the importance of the incident, the royal family of the Yetian Empire will also send someone to join from today. investigation team.
Is this still the old royal family who had no sense of existence and didn't care about the status quo and future of the empire
Presumably, as long as they are citizens of the Yetian Empire, even people who have no knowledge of the situation in the empire can see that today's announcement by the royal family is of great significance.
After years of silence and wait-and-see, the royal family finally sent an important signal to the outside world: they are different from the past; they are no longer satisfied with the past; they want to return to the real throne of the empire.
Duan Hengye didn't know how others would view the royal family's speech. When the attendant was speaking, he couldn't help but look away from the light screen. Meng Jinhuai was obviously the person who should pay attention to this matter the most, but his expression was very relaxed, and he didn't even know when he picked up the wine glass in front of him.
Perhaps this incident itself was expected by Meng Jinhuai? Thinking of this possibility, Duan Hengye could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
…
Although a signal of return has been sent to the outside world, the "cold" side of the royal family has not changed. This video announcement was very brief, and ended after simply explaining the purpose of the royal family. Zhuo Yan didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Seeing that the screen disappeared and suddenly returned to a dark blue screen, Duan Hengye hadn't reacted.
Meng Jinhuai glanced at the light screen lightly, then put down the wine glass, "Hurry up and rest early today." He said as if nothing had happened.
Although there are few daily conversations, today's video has completely stimulated Duan Hengye's desire to discuss. But seeing that Meng Jinhuai was no longer talking about this topic, in order to avoid arousing suspicion from the other party, he swallowed all the words again.
But the moment Duan Hengye picked up the chopsticks again, Meng Jinhuai suddenly raised his head and said, "By the way, I almost forgot an important thing."
Important matter
Duan Hengye couldn't help sitting up straight and looking at the other party, only to see Meng Jinhuai smiling at him and saying, "A new type of life detection device has been developed by the Academy of Sciences under the Military Ministry some time ago. stability."
New life detection device... After hearing these words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but widen his eyes. What Meng Jinhuai said should be... not the kind of instrument he imagined, right
"This device is a great improvement over the previous generation, but the waiting time for the examination and results is longer. There is exactly one on the military starship, so this morning when you were in a coma, the accompanying doctor used it to do it for you once. Comprehensive physical examination. The results... It is estimated that he will be out in a while." Seeing the other party's obviously nervous appearance, Meng Jinhuai finally said these judgment-like words in a chattering state.
