He Yan came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and wiped his damp hair.
Liao Yezhou came out earlier than him, and was diligently doing what a boy with soft food should do - changing the bed sheets afterwards.
After laying the sheets, he took the towel and gently wiped his hair from behind.
After doing all this, Liao Yezhou threw the towel away, hugged him from behind and rubbed against him.
He Yan pushed his head aside a little, and slowly fastened the buttons of his shirt with knuckle-knuckle fingers.
He can't stay in Liao Yezhou's room for too long. If his subordinates find out that he is not in his room as shown by the surveillance, it will be hard to explain.
With a "click", a crisp sound rang in He Yan's ears.
He turned his head and saw that the small window on the wall beside the bed for observing the outside world was opened.
Liao Yezhou withdrew his hand and knocked his chin on his shoulder.
He Yan got bald on his hair that looked extremely smooth after washing.
Probably because the spiritual force evolved under the catalysis of the mysterious force in the meteorite belt, Liao Yezhou was born with an unspeakable closeness to the silent universe.
He Yan's shoulders were weighed down by a heavy head, and he looked out the window.
They seem to have passed a section of star belt, and in the dark and cold sky, there is a light belt composed of countless fine silver lights, shining bright and gentle light in the distance.
He Yan's action of buttoning his buttons paused.
He thought, how small an individual is in front of the huge universe, even a huge starship is like a lonely whale in the deep blue sea in front of the star belt, even if it disappears one day, no one will know.
Life is small, only the stars shine forever.
After solving the raiders, the starship continued to sail forward. They did not choose to leave the star field along the opened barrier, but continued to search for
With the lessons learned from last time, they drove very cautiously this time, and their speed was 1/3 slower, so that they could respond to emergencies at any time.
Since the previously received signal proved to be just someone in disguise, there are only two possibilities for the forces of the empire left on the edge of the barrier: they have been assassinated, or they just haven't been contacted yet.
In view of the fact that the opponent is also riding a starship produced in this star field, no matter how fast it is, it will not be much ahead of them, so the latter is more likely.
As expected, after just one day, they contacted the starship group stationed nearby.
Due to the deviation of the magnetic field at the edge of the star field, the signal is unstable, and the detection range and intensity of the current highest-configured starship detection system are also very limited, so the other party is completely ignorant of what they have experienced.
After contacting this fleet, He Yan quickly obtained all the information from the other party.
This fleet has been stationed near the barrier for several months, made various attempts, and obtained some useful information, but due to the long distance between here and the main star of the empire and the signal delay, this information has not been transmitted back to the empire.
There are some very important information in it. For example, the people who sneaked into the high-level star field inside the empire should be people from individual forces in the high-level star field.
If the information is correct, their trip to the advanced star field this time may become much easier than expected.
After confirming the safety of the starship group and completing the handover with the opponent, he left most of the people in his fleet in the opponent's starship, and only selected three people to go with him.
—Including Liao Yezhou.
Some subordinates secretly suggested to He Yan that this person who was still in the observation period be included in the list of left-behind personnel, but He Yan rejected it on the grounds that he "has no right to restrict the other person's personal freedom", and was caught off guard when He Yan took the person away. , The second the starship hatch closed, it fell to the ground.
This fall seems to be a bit serious, the teeth smashed the lip, and the blood flowed all over the chin, which looked very oozing.
Someone teased him: "Isn't it just that General He is gone, why is he so lost?"
The subordinate covered his mouth, which was still oozing blood, with a puzzled expression on his face.
Although he was a little depressed that he was left behind, he was not so heartbroken that he fell to the ground!
As a person with S physique, unless the body has suffered great damage, it is generally impossible to lose balance.
After much deliberation, he couldn't find an answer, and the subordinates could only attribute this embarrassing gaffe to an accident.
And the real mastermind behind the scenes was following behind their general as if nothing had happened, looking at the Milky Way literaryly and intently, pretending that he had never been careful to secretly put on shoes for the target's subordinates.
He Yan ruthlessly pierced his disguise, "Next time, you will pay for the medical expenses yourself."
Liao Yezhou's calm expression froze for a moment: "..."
He Yan made up the knife calmly: "Not much, a primary repair fluid only costs a few hundred stars."
Liao Yezhou, who could kill his old man with a penny, couldn't help taking a step back, not daring to say anything.
According to the information obtained from the star fleet, He Yan drove this light and powerful stealth starship, and finally made contact with the regular fleet stationed at the edge of the star field cautiously.
The information obtained before has been verified to be correct. A senior general of the other side was accommodating and enthusiastic when contacting them, and very proactively expressed his willingness to submit an application to the Universal Convention Council for them and clear the process. There was no expression in words Show a sense of superiority as a high-level star field personnel.
——He Yan speculates that the other party's attitude is partly due to his spiritual power that has already entered the "God's Domain", and a bigger part is because of Liao Yezhou, whose mental power is unbelievably high even in the division method of high-level star domains.
After learning that Liao Yezhou is a "star field wanderer" without a fixed star field household registration, the general expressed his enthusiasm that he hoped that Liao Yezhou could become a part of their star field, and they would provide him with free money and real estate. many benefits, and can satisfy his other requirements to the maximum extent not contrary to the law.
Liao Yezhou, who was so poor that he could only live by his partner's face, was silent for a few seconds, and reluctantly refused: "... No, I am pursuing this Admiral He next to me, hoping to join their star field."
Not only the general of the high-ranking star field was stunned, but the other two subordinates who followed behind He Yan couldn't help showing dumbfounded expressions.
No wonder the person under observation likes to cling to their general so much, it turns out that there is such an attempt!
And their general didn't seem to refuse much. Most likely it was because of the opponent's strength, which could bring many benefits to their star field, that they forcibly endured and let the opponent pester them.
The subordinates were shocked and angry, but Liao Yezhou was too powerful. They also had the same concerns as the general, and they only dared to make a villain in their hearts, and they didn't dare to show anything on the surface.
The senior star field general reacted very quickly. After being surprised, he quickly said: "Our star field supports the inter-star field marriage law. Your joining our star field will not delay your pursuit of Admiral He."
However, Liao Yezhou said that he had made up his mind to have a star domain account book with his sweetheart, so he had no choice but to let it go.
With the assistance of the high-level star field next door, He Yan submitted an application for certification of the high-level star field to the Universal Convention Council.
In this application, apart from He Yan's mental power appraisal certificate, there is also Liao Yezhou's mental power appraisal certificate.
If it is said that He Yan's mental power appraisal certificate has won the threshold for the empire to submit an authentication, then the addition of Liao Yezhou greatly increases the possibility of the authentication being successful.
The review process for the certification application is very complicated and lengthy, and it will take a year at the fastest, and it is normal to delay it for five or ten years, so He Yan is not in a hurry to know the result.
Anyway, from the moment the application was submitted, their star field was under the protection of the cosmic convention, and special senior examiners would follow them without having to worry about foreign star field invasions all day long.
In addition, after verification, the high-level star field person who sneaked into their star field to stir up trouble was actually a small nobleman in the high-level star field, but the other party had disappeared into the universe, and there was no need for a trial.
This probably involved some interest games, the other party was vague and refused to disclose too clearly, and He Yan had no intention of inquiring into the end, after getting a promise that this kind of thing would never happen again, he took his partner and The subordinates returned to their star field.
The specific intelligence information went back to the empire first.
After placing Liao Yezhou in his office, He Yan went to the marshal's office.
As soon as the marshal saw him, he got up and greeted him, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder, let out a sigh full of meaning in his mouth, and showed a little struggle in his eyes that were slightly cloudy due to old age, and said slowly: "Thank you for your hard work."
You have worked so hard not only to go through life and death several times and get into dangerous situations for the responsibilities on your shoulders, but also be forced to sacrifice your personal happiness for the benefit of the entire star field.
— How many people in the entire military department don’t know, this young General He is a staunch bachelor, he is so rational and calm that he seems to have no desires, and he has been tricked into blind dates countless times without any regrets In the follow-up, she showed a clear lack of interest in relationships.
How could such a person casually endure the approaching and even cross-border pursuit of a person from a foreign star field
Not to mention that the people in this foreign star field are powerful, with a face that seems to be thinking about something bad all day long, just looking at it is very difficult to get along with, with He Yan who is indifferent on the surface but tougher than anyone else in his heart It's not suitable for people in terms of personality.
... As long as you think about it deeply, you can vaguely guess what kind of struggle He Yan has experienced.
He Yan felt a lot of unfinished deep meaning from the vicissitudes of the eyes of the marshal, but he couldn't explain the cause and effect to his superior in detail, so he couldn't hold back a sentence after a while: "...it's not hard."
The author has something to say:
Yanyan: I'm lying down, it's really not hard (╯▽╰)
