Marshal’s Cannon Fodder Spouse [Transmigration]

Chapter 54

Views:

After hearing Meng Jinhuai's question, Shang Mengzhen couldn't help but take a small step back. She was wearing a pair of stiletto high-heeled shoes. When she stepped back, Shang Mengzhen's heel hit the stone floor and made a crisp sound. Because the neighborhood was too quiet, the sound of the heels was unexpectedly obvious.

However, as an actress who has some experience in the entertainment industry and has seen big scenes, Shang Mengzhen quickly stabilized his emotions. She smiled nervously at Meng Jinhuai, and then said, "Hello, Master Marshal."

Probably because of the good chat with Admiral Kong just now, Meng Jinhuai seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled at Shang Mengzhen and nodded as before, then turned to look at Duan Hengye, waiting for his answer.

Duan Hengye didn't need to think about it to know that Meng Jinhuai definitely remembered what happened to Shang Mengzhen at the banquet a few months ago. And the relationship between myself and the heroine... Although it is not enough to say "friend", it seems that there is no more suitable word to describe it.

So he nodded and said, "Yes."

After hearing this, Meng Jinhuai narrowed his eyes slightly. If he remembered correctly, it seemed that Duan Hengye had only two friends he had ever admitted to. One of them is Lan Jingchi, the pharmacy genius from Anluo University, and the other is... the woman in front of her.

From any angle, Shang Mengzhen, Lan Jingchi and Duan Hengye didn't seem to come from the same world. More importantly, in just a few seconds, Lord Marshal actually found one thing that Shang Mengzhen and Lan Jingchi had in common - Duan Hengye seemed to have rescued them before.

In fact, when he first learned about Duan Hengye's true monk's dream, even Meng Jinhuai was not sure of Duan Hengye's purpose for doing this. But now, after months of observation and waiting, Meng Jinhuai finally came to a conclusion: Duan Hengye was indeed helping Shang Mengzhen that day.

Hearing Duan Hengye admit that he and Shang Meng are really friends, Meng Jinhuai turned around again and said to Shang Mengzhen with a smile, "Really, hello."

As a citizen of Yetian Empire, Shang Mengzhen is like everyone else, and he would often see news about Meng Jinhuai on Xingwang before. But today was the first time she had a close encounter with Meng Jinhuai herself. As a literary and artistic worker, Shang Mengzhen was born with a sensitive mind.

She found that Meng Jinhuai was only smiling to greet her, but she had the illusion of being seen through by the other party.

But... maybe this is not an illusion.

Shang Meng really doesn't like dealing with people she can't see through, although she still admires the legendary marshal of the empire. But psychologically, Shang Mengzhen has slowly drawn Meng Jinhuai out of her future communication range... Shang Meng really thought, she'd better not get into trouble.

Duan Hengye only saw that within a few seconds, Meng Jinhuai and Shang Mengzhen looked at each other with inquiring eyes. Immediately afterwards, Shang Mengzhen's expression became a little weird.

Although Shang Mengzhen was frightened by Meng Jinhuai's eyes, she still maintained her superficial elegance. She smiled at Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai, and then said, "Okay, I just came to thank Professor Duan today. I won't disturb Professor and Marshal now." After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Duan. Heng Ye continued to say something, then lifted the skirt and walked quickly towards the other direction of the hall.

When Shang Mengzhen walked away, Meng Jinhuai also turned to look at the other side's back. Seeing Meng Jinhuai turn around, Duan Hengye couldn't help feeling strange. In his impression, Meng Jinhuai was not someone who would easily become curious about "unnecessary" characters.

Seeing this, Duan Hengye couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the heroine is indeed the heroine.

It wasn't until Shang Mengzhen completely disappeared from the crowd in the banquet hall that Meng Jinhuai turned around slowly. To Duan Hengye's surprise, Meng Jinhuai frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.

Can't help... Duan Hengye became nervous.

Although he didn't understand why he was nervous about Meng Jinhuai's expression, after a pause, Duan Hengye asked Meng Jinhuai, "What is the Marshal thinking about?"

Duan Hengye's words brought Meng Jinhuai's thoughts back, he glanced at Duan Hengye, but did not speak for a long time. It wasn't until Duan Hengye thought that Meng Jinhuai would not answer her question again, and finally heard the other person slowly reopen his mouth and say, "The actress just now looks very much like someone I know."

Hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, the long-lost alarm sounded in Duan Hengye's mind again.

Once again, he quickly recalled the current serialized plot of "Dumping the Stars". As a heartthrob heroine, Shang Mengzhen has an inexplicable relationship with many of the male supporting characters in the book. In this book, which has not yet officially announced the final male protagonist, Marshal Meng Jinhuai is an extremely popular person who is recognized by readers as having the aura of the male protagonist.

Just when the readers of this novel were guessing whether Meng Jinhuai was the male protagonist, the author suddenly appeared and positively denied the guess. Her original words seemed to be: "As an author with extremely positive views, she did not intend to make Meng Jinhuai the male protagonist."

So... Since Meng Jinhuai is not the male protagonist in the book, why does he feel familiar to Shang Mengzhen? What does this have to do with the author's three views

Duan Hengye felt that his imagination was not enough.

But the next moment, after seeing Meng Jinhuai's thoughtful eyes, Duan Hengye suddenly had a very strange guess in his heart.

No... It's really the same as you imagined, right

Meng Jinhuai was silent for a while, and then said to Duan Hengye, "...Shang Mengzhen, looks very much like a deceased elder in my family." After saying this, Meng Jinhuai stopped and adjusted his expression. Looking at Duan Hengye, he said, "It's okay, I will investigate this matter in private."

A deceased elder in the family

Meng Jinhuai's words actually matched Duan Hengye's inexplicable brain hole just now!

As the heroine in a novel with a little Mary Sue, how could Shang Meng really not have a noble background that is difficult for ordinary people... The description of her background in the early stage of this novel is very vague, and it is really possible Is waiting to surprise readers.

Suddenly discovering that he may have discovered the truth, Duan Hengye's mood is really complicated...

As time passed, the atmosphere at the banquet finally became lively little by little. Perhaps seeing that the heroine Shang Meng really appeared just now, slowly someone finally came to talk to Meng Jinhuai.

Now the people who come to the Marshal are basically people who are closer to the military. They know that no one can accurately grasp the balance between the capital star and the southern stars. Instead of walking the tightrope carefully, it is better to stand directly behind one side.

Although there is no direct statement, this is already a very obvious lineup.

Because of business affairs, Meng Jinhuai once again left the quieter corner of the banquet hall. But after Meng Jinhuai left, an uninvited guest finally walked over slowly.

She is the queen of Ye Tian Empire.

"President Duan, good evening." She was holding a wine glass in one hand, while the other was lightly placed on the elbow of the other. When the queen spoke, she leaned back slightly, looking a little light.

Although Duan Hengye was the dean of Ye Tian Empire Mecha Research Institute, he was still called "Professor Duan" by ordinary people, and few people would call him the dean directly.

With such a title and the tone of the Queen's speech, the sarcasm in it is really hard to let people find out. Unlike Meng Jinhuai, who just tried to speak in a low voice, the Queen's voice was very penetrating, and she deliberately increased the volume when she spoke.

As soon as her voice fell, the eyes of the people around her all turned to this place.

Although I knew that Duan Hengye was adopted by the Queen's family, in fact, if I recall carefully the public events that the two attended together, I could see that they almost never communicated.

Now is the time when the relationship between Nan Zhuxing and the royal family is delicate. What is the reason why the queen suddenly came here

Perhaps most of the people present did not understand, but Duan Hengye understood what the other party just said. Just as Su Mingge always thought, Duan Hengye's previous achievements were not enough to take on the important task of the director of Ye Tian Empire Mecha Research Institute at a young age.

In fact, the original owner was able to get to where he is today in such a short period of time, and there is some credit behind the Queen's family.

On the one hand, it is for the decentralization of the royal family and for the family to seek greater benefits. On the other hand, there may be some reasons for Meng Jinhuai...

In fact, the royal family chose Duan Hengye to become this political party. Governing the other party to the marriage is not without reason. As a diamond-level bachelor in Interstellar, countless people are concerned about Meng Jinhuai's relationship problems. And the more people who ask, the more people can get a glimpse of his ideal type... It just so happens that Meng Jinhuai, who has always been obsessed with meeting that person when he was young, the person's appearance outlined in his words is that of Professor Duan. .

Seeing this scene, the queen simply pushed the boat directly, and continued to perfect the character of Duan Hengye, the flower of the high mountains. And providing help behind his back pushed him to the position of dean.

Now that the Empress mentioned the word "Dean" in person, she was undoubtedly reminding Duan Hengye that it was not entirely his own credit for him to get to where he is today.

In fact, Duan Hengye is not a very thick-skinned person. If he encounters such a thing when he has just been through time, he will definitely be called by the other party's name. But it is a pity that Duan Hengye has been in this world for a while, and now he has his own achievements - although it has not been announced yet.

Everyone only saw that Duan Hengye, who was wearing white clothes, walked to the Empress' side, and then bowed slightly to the other side. Right now, Duan Hengye's expression was still as light as usual, but people could see a slight or two of indifference from his actions.

The amazing thing is that no one would feel that Duan Hengye was being rude at this time, but instead, they sensed a bit of elegance.

If the previous Duan Hengye was a silver plate that was perfect on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar and could not find any flaws. So now, this white moonlight has turned into a crescent moon. With an elegant and casual arc, it is no longer complete, but has a more charming silver hook.

After all, she had known Duan Hengye for many years, and the queen could see his attitude at a glance.

Seeing this scene, the woman walked very close to Duan Hengye, then lowered her voice and said to him, "Long time no see, have you forgotten your identity?"

Although wearing super high heels, Duan Hengye was still a lot taller than the woman in front of him. He glanced down, and instantly there was a sense of oppression that could not be ignored. The queen instinctively wanted to take a step back, but the instinct she cultivated from being in a high position for many years still kept her standing.

Duan Hengye gently shook his head towards the woman, and then said, "Your Highness, I am an undercover agent sent by the royal family to Nanzhuxing."

"...You!" The Queen was choked by Duan Hengye's words. After hearing his words, the woman in red couldn't help but look around in a little panic. After seeing the curious but not shocked eyes of the people around her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, what Duan Hengye said just now was not heard by others.

"Are you crazy!" she asked sharply in a low voice.

Hearing this, Duan Hengye bent down slightly, but the distance between the two of them shrank again in an instant. Although there are countless secrets in his heart, the magic is that Duan Hengye's eyes have always had a childlike clarity. His eyes were very pale, and at this time, under the illumination of the hall lights, it gave the illusion of a light golden glow.

Like a shallow stream at sunset.

At this moment, the onlookers read out a different temperament from Duan Hengye's body, that is - sexy. A sensuality formed by the intertwining of innocence and complexity, purity, alienation and uninhibitedness.

"No. Her Royal Highness, I'm just answering your question."

The queen had never been played by an undercover agent like this before, and now she looked at Duan Hengye like a lunatic. As an ordinary person, the Empress certainly would not have thought that Duan Hengye at this time was not the same person she knew earlier. She instinctively blamed all the changes in the other party on the recent torture of poisonous hair, and asked Duan Hengye to start hating the royal family.

As an undercover agent who had stolen military secrets countless times, Duan Hengye's own dark history was deep enough. The queen didn't think he would make the choice of perishing in order to avenge himself.

So the woman calmed down a little, and then said to Duan Hengye: "If you show us a little sincerity, the royal family will certainly not call you poisonous again. If you can't show sincerity, don't forget that you still have a family. in the hands of the royal family."

...Wait, if the Empress didn't say these words now, Duan Hengye would have almost forgotten that he still has a playful younger brother.

To tell the truth, the threat of the queen is really bad enough.

After hearing the Queen's words, Duan Hengye slowly stood up straight.

Obviously Duan Hengye still had that cold expression, but the woman facing him had the illusion of seeing the person opposite him sneering.

Duan Hengye said to the queen, "Don't worry, I will show my sincerity." When he said this, although Duan Hengye had a serious face, he was secretly laughing at the other party.

The royal family still underestimated Duan Hengye's professional skills. What they don't know is that in the recent period of time, Professor Duan has already started to delete some things that should not be kept in the royal family's star network system...

Seeing Duan Hengye agree, the Queen finally breathed a sigh of relief, but before the woman could say anything, she heard Duan Hengye say, "Then can the royal family show me some sincerity?"

"Of course, I will know the antidote..." Before the woman could finish her words, she saw Duan Hengye who was facing her slowly shaking her head and said, "It's not an antidote."

"Then what else?" The queen, who has always liked to be high above and admire the panicked appearance of others, finally tried to feel the feeling of being pressed by others step by step this time.

The person who was secretly looking here found that after chatting in a low voice for a while, the queen suddenly couldn't help but take a step back. He was clearly dressed in white, and he still looked like he didn't care about anything, but the aura on Heng Ye's body was about to burst the roof at this time.

As expected of Professor Duan... Somehow, such a sigh appeared in many people's hearts at the same time.

"Nothing." Duan Hengye shook his head lightly and said casually, "It's just that I suddenly remembered something from my childhood, about the accident in the experiment..." Duan Hengye spoke very slowly, while he said He stared into the eyes of the woman opposite.

Of course, Duan Hengye did not bring up this topic casually. In fact, just when Duan Hengye was clearing his traces in the royal family's Star Net system, he accidentally retrieved a set of very ancient but closely related information.

It was an accident investigation report, and the content of the investigation happened to be the experimental accident that made the original owner's life change many years ago.

In fact, Duan Hengye had already downloaded the official bulletin on the matter on the Internet shortly after he entered this book. But when Duan Hengye opened the accident investigation report stored on the Royal Intranet, he finally discovered that this report, which was not made public, was completely different from the one widely circulated on the Star Network.

It's a pity that the second half of the report is like it was deliberately terminated in the middle of the investigation.

Duan Hengye still has no memory of that time, he just said this to deceive the other party.

Sure enough, the Queen's expression was very strange. By the way, the wine glass that the woman had been holding in her hand shook uncontrollably, and the bright red wine collided with the wall, revealing the instant panic in her heart.

The queen looked up at Duan Hengye, perhaps she had always disdained Duan Hengye before, thinking that he was just an ordinary undercover spy who was smart but didn't know how to use her own wisdom. But now in her eyes, Duan Hengye seemed to have suddenly opened up, which was terrifying.

"You... what did you remember?" She asked Duan Hengye, holding the wine glass in her hand.

Unlike imagined. After hearing the Queen's words, Duan Hengye suddenly shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just some fragmented memories."

Hearing Duan Hengye's words, the queen could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, she asked the other party, "Then what do you want the royal family to do?"

Duan Hengye recalled the only half of the incident investigation report he had seen, and then said almost word for word: "I want to ask, does Your Highness know who the third person in the laboratory was at that time?"

This royal birthday banquet started with vigour and vigour, but the ending was a little embarrassing. Both the guests and reporters noticed that from the moment they entered the venue, Emperor Zhuo Yan disappeared again as usual. After having a conversation with Duan Hengye, the queen who was in a good mood suddenly was no longer in a state.

The media did not take pictures of Duan Hengye talking with the queen, so in the end... The most prominent woman in this banquet turned out to be the new actress Shang Mengzhen—she seemed to know Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai

Leaving aside the events in the entertainment industry, in general, although this banquet was somewhat unexpected, it was generally considered smoother than expected.

After leaving the noisy banquet hall of the royal family and boarding the starship, Duan Hengye suddenly felt a sigh of relief.

Although he seemed very confident just now, only Duan Hengye knew that, as a person who rarely communicated with people in this way, when he spoke, he was actually very nervous.

Although Meng Jinhuai was talking to someone just now, he didn't hear what Duan Hengye was chatting with the queen. But before the banquet was over, Yu Xinlan, who had been paying attention silently, came to Meng Jinhuai's side and told him what had just happened.

Meng Jinhuai could feel the decreasing air pressure on Duan Hengye's body, but in the banquet hall, the Marshal did not express his doubts.

After boarding the starship, Meng Jinhuai finally walked to his side after seeing Duan Hengye who had removed his armor on the way back, exposing his fragile and tangled side. Heng Ye was sitting on a sofa by the window at this time. Although he looked at the galaxy outside, his attention was obviously not on it.

"A-Heng, what's the matter?" Meng Jinhuai asked softly sitting beside him.

Duan Hengye did not notice Meng Jinhuai's arrival because he was a little absorbed in thinking. After being awakened by the other party's words, Duan Hengye was stunned for a moment. In the end, he slowly turned his eyes back from the window, and then told everything he had discovered.

"...I want to investigate the experimental accident that year." Duan Hengye said to Meng Jinhuai, he did not say this in a negotiating tone, but was simply informing the other party.

In fact, Duan Hengye could start to leave the royal family now, but the report found in the system told him to stay temporarily. He wants to follow the royal family and touch the truth of the year.

Although in Duan Hengye's memory, the original owner's parents were only a very vague existence, and sometimes he even had to struggle a lot to remember their appearance. But Duan Hengye still felt that there was an inexplicable force driving him, he wanted to find the truth of the matter, and comfort the dead souls of the original owner's parents.

Now the relationship between the royal family and Nanzhuxing is very complicated, and any little thing is enough for both sides to diverge. The accident investigation that year was carried out entirely by an agency under the royal family. It stands to reason that it would not be easy for Meng Jinhuai to intervene. It may even cause unnecessary trouble.

But after hearing Duan Hengye's words, Meng Jinhuai was silent for a while and then slowly stretched out his hand, and then he wrapped the other party into his arms.

"I'm with you." Meng Jinhuai said softly.
