It only took more than ten minutes from the news that the Nanzhu starship was about to arrive to the official arrival at the destination. But in such a short period of time, all the residents who were free around gathered here. Seen from the air, it is really a piece of black, which is very spectacular.
After seeing the scene under his feet through the window, Duan Hengye couldn't help but be startled. After seeing his reaction, Meng Jinhuai also came over and glanced down, obviously he didn't expect that so many people came here today.
"Today's events have a great impact on Interstellar." After Meng Jinhuai finished speaking, he looked away from the window, then turned around and instructed another assistant in the cabin, "Don't rush to land first, and surround yourself with Take a lap around the dock."
Now that the starship is about to arrive at its destination, not long after Meng Jinhuai's order was issued, the people who were watching around found that the huge starship in front of him was not in a hurry to land, but readjusted its direction and appeared in front of him. top of the head.
At first, everyone hadn't realized what the starship was doing - after all, the military's starship line was loaded with a lot of weapons, and it looked very oppressive to the naked eye. But it didn't take long before someone finally figured out what Meng Jinhuai meant. In fact, the Marshal is greeting people in this way.
Different from the nobles on the starship today who are far away from the war, the residents who really live on the planets on the edge of the empire understand the difficulty of peace better than anyone else. The planet that the starship chose to land on today is an inconspicuous one among the countless ordinary living planets in the Yetian Empire, and some people cannot even pronounce its name completely.
But the people who live on this planet have deep feelings for the military. Although it is not a military star, the security here is still in charge of Nanzhuxing. There are no precious resources on this planet, and the economic level is also very average. And because of its location near the edge of the empire, security here is more complicated than most planets.
Duan Hengye, who was standing by the window, saw that while the starship was flying above the crowd, the people below were screaming and waving towards it with great enthusiasm.
Recently, Duan Hengye has been consciously studying the history and geography of the empire. So he knew that because of his special location, Meng Jinhuai had been here many times in recent years. Obviously, Nan Zhuxing did not ignore this place, and the residents here will never forget Nan Zhu.
The scene under his feet was so shocking that Duan Hengye's hand unconsciously stuck to the cold window. Just as he quietly watched the scenery under the starship, Meng Jinhuai's hands were placed on Duan Hengye's shoulders. It was obvious that Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai were not the only ones in the cabin now, but the atmosphere between them naturally separated them from the rest. The accompanying assistant, who was also looking down the window just now, silently shifted his gaze to the side.
After a few laps, the starship flew towards the landing pad again.
After all, the planet that has landed now has limited conditions. The military did not contact the starship for each guest separately, but divided them into several batches. Although they usually travel to and from space on luxury private starships, no one is picky now.
After the starship landed, the first group of people immediately followed the military staff out. After all, the scene was a bit chaotic, and neither Duan Hengye nor Meng Jinhuai appeared again. And at this moment, the cabin where Duan Hengye was in suddenly received an entry request.
It was sent by Duan Hengxing.
After seeing this name, although Duan Hengye was a little surprised, he still agreed to this application.
After boarding the starship just now, Duan Hengye changed into casual clothes. It was a simple black T-shirt. Although it was very suitable for the current temperature in the starship cabin, when the two hands on his shoulders left, he suddenly felt a little chill and reluctance.
After turning around, Duan Hengye's gaze stopped there for a while, and then he looked towards the door.
At this time, Duan Hengxing also walked to the door. Compared with the usual condescending appearance, Duan Hengxing's temperament is extraordinarily serious today. At the same time, the military staff in this cabin also saw Duan Hengxing.
These staff were already familiar with Duan Hengye. As for Duan Hengxing, the staff had seen him before at banquets or on the star network. But until today, after this sudden turn around, they finally discovered the similarities between Duan Hengxing and Duan Hengye for the first time, and then realized the incomparably close relationship between the two of them.
Duan Hengxing, who was standing at the door, put a hand gently on the door, and his eyes fell on Duan Hengye. After seeing Duan Hengxing's expression, Meng Jinhuai glanced at Duan Hengye, and then walked out of the cabin. Seeing that Marshal Meng had already left, several other staff members also looked at each other and walked out behind Meng Jinhuai.
After a while, only Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai were left in the room.
Duan Hengye remembered what happened the last time he was alone with Duan Hengxing. When the situation was critical just now, he didn't feel anything, but now he can't help but feel a little embarrassed. After everyone else in the starship cabin had left, Duan Hengxing finally walked in slowly.
It was only at this time that Duan Hengye found out, and he didn't know if it was because Duan Hengxing was wearing a formal suit today, the whole person looked much more mature than before.
He had a calm expression when he was standing at the door just now, but Duan Hengxing also became cramped when everyone in the cabin left. At this moment, Duan Hengye and Duan Hengxing were standing at opposite ends of the room, separated by a sofa.
Duan Hengye glanced at the man in front of him, and then said, "Sit down first."
"Uh..." Hearing this, Duan Hengxing came over and sat on the sofa. He couldn't help but look up at Duan Hengye, and then became nervous.
Of course, Duan Hengxing's nervous expression did not hide Duan Hengye's eyes. After he sat down, he waited for a while, guessing that Duan Hengxing's emotions had calmed down, so he hesitated and asked, "What's wrong? "
After speaking, Duan Hengye felt that his head was not very good. But looking at Duan Hengxing like this, he was not choked by Duan Hengye's question. In fact, the previous communication between the two was like this, blunt and straight to the point.
"Well... I want to come and say thank you." Duan Hengxing spoke very slowly, and his hands were tightly clasped together when he spoke. Although the action was not very obvious, Duan Hengye still saw it.
When he saw Duan Hengxing standing at the door just now, Duan Hengye already had a little bit of preparation in his heart. But when he actually heard these two words appear in Duan Hengxing's mouth, he still felt a little unreal.
After saying this, before Duan Hengye could react, Duan Hengxing suddenly let out a breath, and then suddenly stood up from the sofa. Duan Hengye saw that Duan Hengxing's expression was much more relaxed now. It seems that after he finished saying that sentence, the big stone in his heart also fell along with it.
At this moment, the young man standing opposite Duan Hengye had a feeling of "relief" all over his body.
Seeing Duan Hengxing get up, Duan Hengye also stood up together. The two of them stood on opposite ends of the sofa just now, and after getting up, they still maintained a distance that was not too far away, and seemed to be somewhat polite and alienated that could not be ignored.
Duan Hengxing was silent for a while, and then said: "You are very powerful. Some of the things I said before... are indeed a bit ridiculous." When he said the previous sentence, he looked directly into Duan Hengye's eyes, looking very sincere, but When it comes to the back, there is a bit of loss in his eyes that cannot be ignored.
I have to say that Duan Hengye was surprised by what Duan Hengxing said just now. But before he could think about how he should respond, he saw the other party sniffing, then changed his expression and said, "Okay, then I'll go." Compared to the tense and tense tone just now. At this moment, Duan Hengxing was relaxed. After speaking, he nodded to Duan Hengye and walked out of the cabin.
After Duan Hengxing's back completely disappeared at the door, Duan Hengye finally realized something.
Before today, almost every meeting between him and Duan Hengxing was unpleasant, and most of them only happened when the other party asked him for money. In the previous meetings, Duan Hengxing would basically call himself "brother" - although his tone was often sarcastic. But this time, Duan Hengxing did not call himself that. The two of them were like strangers, and they completed this conversation very politely.
After the conversation between Duan Hengye and Duan Hengxing ended, Meng Jinhuai was busy with other things and came back. Opening the door, he saw Meng Jinhuai walking towards him on the other side of the corridor. Duan Hengxing nodded politely to him, and then followed the instructions of the staff around him and walked to the exit of the starship.
"What's wrong." After entering the door, the door of the starship closed again.
Hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye slowly shook his head, then frowned slightly and said truthfully to Meng Jinhuai: "Duan Hengxing came over and said 'thank you' to me just now." When he spoke, Duan Hengye's fingertips could not help but lighten. Gently rubbed against the edge of the sofa.
Although Duan Hengye simply repeated what Duan Hengxing had just said, and did not add his own opinion. But when he finished speaking, Meng Jinhuai immediately understood what Duan Hengye wanted to convey.
Although Duan Hengye had no memory of what happened when he was a child, and the few times he had been with Duan Hengxing before were not pleasant. But the man who left just now was still Duan Hengye's only relative in this world. The word "thank you" was both a thank you and a strange expression.
Duan Hengye was a little lonely, not because of Duan Hengxing, but because of his own loneliness.
Meng Jinhuai guessed this, but what he couldn't guess was that because of this emotion, Duan Hengye thought of his relatives in the previous life again. Because Interstellar didn't have a very standard concept of "year", Duan Hengye didn't remember very clearly how long he had been in this world. Coupled with the busy work, he often forgets to recall the past. But Duan Hengxing's estranged conversation just now reminded Duan Hengye of those faces that were slowly blurring in his memory.
Thinking of this, Meng Jinhuai stretched out his hand and patted Duan Hengye on the shoulder, then lowered his head and said to him softly, "And me, it doesn't matter."
After listening to Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye loosened his frowning brows, and then smiled slightly, "Okay."
…
What happened on the star of the Queen's family began with vigour and vigour. Some of the endings were too hasty.
After the starship of Nanzhuxing sent the queen back to the zodiac star, she and other family members were placed under house arrest on this planet. Although because of the chaotic news at the time of the incident, the royal family has also been questioned unprecedentedly. But the matter was just as Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai imagined, the royal family temporarily dumped all the responsibilities on the queen's family.
After a while, Duan Hengye realized that while he and Duan Hengxing were talking in the starship cabin, Meng Jinhuai and the queen also communicated, but he did not ask Meng Jinhuai the result and content of the conversation with the other party.
As for the focus of attention. It seems that in a very short period of time, the incident itself was transferred to the matter of "Duan Hengye actually drives a mecha". Because the incident happened too urgently, and because the incident happened in the interstellar unmanaged area, no video data was leaked. But the more so, the more curious people are about the event.
It didn't take long for the media on Interstellar to reconstruct the events of that day according to the words of the captured guests at that time. Not long after the video was released, it quickly spread throughout the interstellar space. But before it took long, many people who witnessed the incident forwarded it, and then pointed out that the operation in the simulated video was not one-tenth of the reality.
Interstellar hot spots come and go quickly. Obviously, everyone was very concerned about the star thief incident before, but when the video came out, the previous things were diluted in people's minds. It's just... This speed seems a bit too fast. After seeing the discussion on Xingwang, Duan Hengye wondered if someone was deliberately blurring this matter behind his back. In fact, his guess was right - shortly after the incident, Nan Zhuxing began to deliberately lead the discussion among netizens.
At first glance, this is blurring the point, but in fact it is secretly planting a bomb...
A few days later, the royal report on the incident was finally released at the urging of the impoverished parliament before the Empire. However, if Duan Hengye had to read it, this report was really deceiving. As long as he had a little understanding of the matter, he would find the loopholes in it.
When the report came out, Meng Jinhuai was holding a meeting on Nanzhuxing. The rest of the military staff saw that after suspending the meeting and reading the report, Meng Jinhuai suddenly smiled coldly at Guangping.
The military staff present at the scene all walked down from the battlefield with Meng Jinhuai, and they have seen each other with murderous aura many times. But today is different. In addition to murderousness, Meng Jinhuai's body is more chill.
If Meng Jinhuai before was a lion who was king on the grassland, today he is more like a giant python hiding in the jungle.
Seeing Meng Jinhuai's current state, Yu Xinlan couldn't help but glance at Dongfang Hewen who was sitting across from him. Although neither of them spoke, the tacit understanding accumulated from working together for many years made them reach a consensus in the first place - Meng Jinhuai has probably prepared a "great gift" for the royal family. send out.
Because of Meng Jinhuai's expression, more than a dozen people in the conference room of the military department did not dare to show a single one. After a while, the Marshal finally reached out his hand to withdraw the picture on the light screen from the report of the royal family, and then returned to the content of the meeting just now.
The perfunctory in the royal briefing was too obvious. Seeing that Meng Jinhuai didn't say much, a staff member sitting next to him hesitated before asking, "May I ask, Sir Marshal... what do we need to do?"
Hearing this, Meng Jinhuai shook his head and said, "It's not the time yet, just wait."
—Meng Jinhuai is waiting for Lan Jingchi to solve the last big thing.
…
The toxins in Duan Hengye's body were really complicated, and despite the addition of Lan Jingchi and the cooperation of the entire research institute, the antidote could not be created in a short period of time.
Because he officially joined Nanzhuxing's affiliated research institute, and began to preside over the antidote and antidote work. Lan Jingchi also knew about the affairs between Duan Hengye and the royal family, as well as the Queen's family. Although I thought that Duan Hengye was a very mysterious person before, Lan Jingchi never thought that there was such a history hidden behind him.
While waiting for the antidote to be made, Duan Hengye would often go to Nanzhuxing or the star where his subordinate research institutes were located for regular medical examinations. The difference from the last time is that these physical examinations are not to check the influence of toxins on his internal organs, but to detect the content and movement of toxins.
Since a few months ago, Lan Jingchi has begun to adjust the temporary antidote. Although each adjustment is not big, after several physical examinations, it can be found that the toxins in Duan Hengye's body that were originally still and even deepening finally showed signs of movement.
This is a good thing, but also a very risky thing to do.
As a male supporting actor who once stepped into the ranks of villains with half a foot, Lan Jing is also very bold in finding the antidote lately. Probably in the entire interstellar space, except for Lan Jingchi, no one dares to use the method of "fighting poison with poison" against Duan Hengye...
Duan Hengye was also taken aback when he first heard Lan Jingchi's thoughts, and hesitated for a while. But in the end, remembering the description of Lan Jingchi in the book, and seeing the other party's confident expression, Duan Hengye still accepted the other party's suggestion. Lan Jingchi is indeed a person who will not disappoint. After a period of trial use After that, the toxin in Duan Hengye's body began to move and gradually weakened. However, due to the mutual attack of drugs and toxins, while the toxins were decreasing day by day, Duan Hengye's body was once again visibly weakened.
Although he knew that this was a necessary process for detoxification, Meng Jinhuai also asked Duan Hengye to temporarily transfer the main site of his work from the star where the research institute is located to the star of Nanzhu.
In this day and age, remote work is no longer a difficult task. Just because the mecha research work needs to be kept secret, the ordinary staff of the research institute must use the optical brain in the hospital to conduct research to prevent information leakage.
But Duan Hengye is not an ordinary staff member, at least he doesn't have to worry about information leakage.
Although the position was transferred, after returning to Nanzhuxing to start work, Duan Hengye still had a video conference with the staff of the research institute every other day. Because of the time difference between the two places, each meeting was held in the afternoon when the institute was located, and in the morning on Duan Hengye's side.
Yesterday, Duan Hengye took the new phase of the drug Lan Jingchi researched just now. Although his spirit was still as full as before, his body was a little too weak. In the morning, his biological clock didn't work. If the robot had not been set up before, Duan Hengye would probably have slept in the meeting directly.
However, although I got up before the meeting, it was still a bit rushed.
Duan Hengye walked off the bed in a vain step. After washing up, it was time for the meeting to start. So Duan Hengye, who had no time to go to the office, had to go to the desk in the corner of the bedroom, then approved a coat on his pajamas and started the meeting program.
Among the video conference participants of the institute, only Su Mingge and several more important research group leaders. After a period of work, not only Su Mingge, but everyone no longer had the same fear of Duan Hengye as before. Even during meetings, he would joke with him from time to time.
But today, after Duan Hengye opened the video with a rare one-minute delay, all those who saw the video became serious. When the video opened, Duan Hengye was still adjusting his brain, so he didn't appear on the screen for the first time.
However, the off-white wall behind the desk told the person on the opposite side of the video that Duan Hengye was not in the previous office—and then, Su Mingge judged his current location through a floor lamp behind Duan Hengye.
"... Duan Hengye, are you in the bedroom now?" Su Mingge hesitated for a moment, then asked.
Hearing his words, Duan Hengye couldn't help feeling a little surprised. After adjusting his head, he came over and sat at the desk, and then nodded lightly while sorting out the meeting documents.
I was a little anxious when I was washing up just now, but Duan Hengye didn't notice that his complexion today was as bad as his. If I have to make an analogy... From Su Mingge's point of view, today's Duan Hengye is very similar to the one that fainted in front of his eyes.
Before Duan Hengye raised his head, the picture on the light screen in front of him suddenly changed. The images of the rest of the staff disappeared, leaving only Su Mingge occupying a light screen with a serious face.
What's going on here? Before Duan Hengye could react to what was wrong with the video, he heard Su Mingge on the opposite side very serious, asking every word as if he was torturing himself: "Duan Hengye, what the hell are you doing? What's the matter? Don't hide it from me."
Although Su Mingge didn't say anything, Duan Hengye always felt that the other party was making up for it again - after all, Professor Su was a person who once asked himself if he was about to die.
