Zhou Jiuya feels very uncomfortable now.
—I felt extremely uncomfortable.
Because from his perspective, the whole situation was probably that the child of the family sneaked away to Tiandong Star, a lawless place, and within half a month, when they saw each other again, the clean omega had been temporarily marked.
The other party was a wild man with no money, no house, and no mecha, and he even had to take Jiang Ci's clothes.
From a parent's perspective, this is absolutely a case of a good cabbage being eaten by a pig.
This feeling is so uncomfortable.
Zhou Jiuya was almost suffocating.
Although he is an extremely rough Alpha who doesn't know how to get close to children and can't raise children, he really loves Jiang Ci. At the beginning, the expert said that he had to go to kindergarten, so he went to the best kindergarten.
God knows how much of a headache Zhou Jiuya has to complete the homework assigned by the teacher in the parent group every day. It is even more of a headache than dealing with military affairs and fighting on the battlefield. But he still has to work diligently and conscientiously to complete it.
Then, Zhou Jiuya had to attend parent-teacher meetings. Because Jiang Ci was not sociable, uncooperative, and fought and made trouble, Zhou Jiuya was called by the teacher for training every now and then.
In order not to reveal his identity as the legion commander and bring unnecessary trouble to Jiang Ci, he had to disguise himself every time before being scolded by the teacher.
Zhou Jiuya and Jiang Ci rarely communicate with each other. First of all, Zhou Jiuya has been a person who lacks family warmth since childhood. He is the illegitimate child of the Jiang family, which is a stain.
Coupled with his many years of military career, he has completely lost touch with family, children and other soft things.
Plus, his brother was born with a weird personality. Jiang Ci didn't like the things that other kids liked. He was totally different from other omega kids in that he was soft, sweet, and coquettish. He didn't know how to act like a spoiled child or talk. He usually didn't say a word unless it was absolutely necessary.
This kid just likes to stay in Jiang Jinsheng's laboratory and tinker with some weird machines, and doesn't care about anything else.
Well, like father, like son.
Zhou Jiuya didn't understand that. He was very busy every day, so he thought that as long as Jiang Ci ate well, drank well, didn't get sick, and grew up safely, that was enough. As for the rest, he gave the child whatever he wanted and let him do whatever he wanted, basically letting him do whatever he wanted. It was probably because he let his guard down that Jiang Ci was kidnapped and left with a serious psychological trauma.
So considering that Zhou Jiuya himself did not fulfill his responsibilities as a guardian, when Jiang Ci said that they had terminated the guardianship relationship long ago.
Zhou Jiuya had absolutely no way and position to interfere too much in Jiang Ci's personal feelings.
Because from a public perspective, the corps commander cannot control the private lives of his subordinates. From a personal perspective, Jiang Ci is already an adult and they are not close, so he cannot control it at all.
So Zhou Jiuya endured it and did not interfere too much. And because of the unclear relationship between Huo Xianfeng and Huo Chao, he did not have too much aversion to Huo Xianfeng. He just felt a little unhappy as a parent.
However, as a parent, Zhou Jiuya certainly couldn't just ignore it. He originally planned to bring the person back to the capital star and put him under his own supervision to check Huo Xianfeng's background and see what the situation was. After all, the opponent's combat effectiveness seemed pretty good.
Before Zhou Jiuya could come up with a specific plan, two people disappeared in the church's sneak attack, along with the remains of the Forbidden Abyss and the Forbidden Abyss core in Bai Ze.
This disappearance lasted for almost a month, and Zhou Jiuya was so anxious that his white hair was popping out.
I finally got some news and waited until today when we met again.
Good job!
The last time we met was a temporary mark.
This meeting was completely marked! ! ! !
The legion commander was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He now has a clearer understanding of Huo Xianfeng's background, but it's of no use.
His cabbages were not eaten by pigs, but were eaten by insects.
Zhou Jiuya's face was extremely ugly, and he clenched his fists again and again. Not to mention, every breath of air he breathed now was filled with Jiang Ci's rich pheromones belonging to Huo Xianfeng.
This is like stabbing a knife into the heart. One stab is not enough, so you have to stab it again.
Ye Shu next to him is an A-level Alpha. His face also looked very unhappy at this moment. In addition to the reason why Jiang Ci was marked, another point was that Huo Xianfeng's pheromones were too threatening, making him instinctively feel extremely uneasy and threatened.
Alphas are naturally competitive and exclusive. Normally, this is fine, but once it comes to scarce resources like omegas, things become particularly intense.
Although most people thought that Huo Xianfeng should be an S-level alpha before, that was because in the human classification of gender levels, the highest level was only S.
Because Ye Shu could feel that Zhou Jiuya was also stiff at this moment, and the alpha nerve was almost stretched to the extreme.
—That's a sign of being threatened.
The strength of pheromones basically represents the strength of an individual.
If even Zhou Jiuya, an S-level alpha, could sense the extreme threat...
Ye Shu swallowed unconsciously, his pupils dilated slightly, and he looked at the boy who was eating breakfast leisurely with complicated eyes. He knew very well what this meant.
This shows that Huo Xianfeng is definitely stronger than Zhou Jiuya.
The person in front of me... No, it should be the king of the Zerg.
The reason why they knew Huo Xianfeng's identity was because half an hour ago, Jin Yuan had synchronized basic information with them, such as Huo Xianfeng's identity, that the Zerg were not invaders, and that Huo Chao hoped that they could strive to make the Zerg their allies.
This is also the reason why both of them can sit at the same table calmly at this moment.
Knock.
A crisp sound.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the dinner knife that Huo Xianfeng put down.
—He finally finished his breakfast.
Even though Jiang Ci was familiar with all kinds of metal materials, he couldn't tell what the knife was made of. As far as he knew, there was no material discovered by humans that could cut any metal as easily as cutting tofu.
Most people were looking at the knife, only Pei Changyun was looking at the black ring on Huo Xianfeng's ring finger, because Huo Chao also liked to wear the Jinyuan on his ring finger.
It’s just that person usually wears it on his right hand, while Huo Xianfeng wears it on his left hand.
Moreover, Huo Chao's finger bones were thicker, obviously like the rough and battle-scarred hands of a soldier, while Huo Xianfeng's finger bones were longer, like a work of art made by a master sculptor.
When many people look at Huo Xianfeng and Huo Chao, the first thing they do is look for similarities.
But Pei Changyun was looking for the differences first.
—He was looking for evidence that Huo Xianfeng was not Huo Chao.
When Zhou Jiuya met Huo Xianfeng, he sent a message to Pei Changyun and wrote a detailed report afterwards. The words between the lines said that Huo Xianfeng might have a great relationship with Huo Chao because they were very similar.
They have similar eyebrows, similar fighting styles, and can control the Forbidden Abyss.
Zhou Jiuya's speculation at the time was that either Huo Xianfeng might have some kind of blood relationship with Huo Chao, or, with a very low possibility, he was Marshal Huo Chao.
Pei Changyun denied both.
At this moment, Huo Xianfeng finally raised his eyes. Thus, the human emperor and the Zerg king looked directly at each other at this moment.
It was at this moment that Pei Changyun could be sure even without Jin Yuan’s previous reminder.
—Huo Chao and Huo Xianfeng are two completely different individuals.
Because when you know someone to the core, you won't recognize him by his appearance.
Just a glance is enough.
Huo Chao's eyes are warm. When you look at him, you will unconsciously feel a strong and steady power, making you want to get close to him.
But Huo Xianfeng's eyes were cold. Even when he looked straight at you, one would feel as if he was looking down on you with indifference.
—It’s like a king looking down on ants.
There was not even any pheromone suppression, and even through the projection, Pei Changyun also felt an extremely strong sense of oppression at this moment.
That feeling had nothing to do with pheromones; it was purely due to the king's authority and the unknown and power that came from the alien race.
That kind of pressure and power that was superior to billions of Zerg and was engraved in their genes. Although the other party did not release any murderous intent or make any threatening moves, just the look in his eyes made Pei Changyun feel deeply in danger.
When Pei Changyun looked at Huo Xianfeng, the latter was also looking at the human emperor.
The human lifespan is 500 years. After reaching adulthood, their appearance and body shape will hardly change much in the next two to three hundred years. By the time they are three hundred years old, their appearance will be closer to that of a middle-aged person in his thirties when gender differentiation had not yet occurred on ancient Earth.
Perhaps it was because Huo Chao had muttered about Pei Changyun too many times in front of Huo Xianfeng, so Huo Xianfeng knew the other person's age.
Pei Changyun is two years younger than Huo Chao, and coincidentally, their birthdays are on the same day. According to Huo Chao's love book, they are a perfect match.
So this age is easy to calculate—
When Huo Chao got Pei Changyun out of prison, he was still a 17-year-old juvenile offender. Later, Huo Chao died at the age of 29, and Pei Changyun was 27 that year.
It has been exactly 300 years since Huo Chao's death, so Pei Changyun is 327 years old this year.
It is exactly the prime age of human beings, and because Beta is slightly thinner than Alpha, he looks even younger.
Pei Changyun has black hair and green eyes, and his facial features are soft in outline. It would be more appropriate to describe his facial features as beautiful rather than handsome. He does not look like a ruthless king, but more like a gentle and cultured consul who is good at dancing with long sleeves.
However, the other party was very different from the sharp and cold beta boy that Huo Xianfeng saw from Huo Chao's perspective. Pei Changyun today had experienced the destruction of the earth, the change of political system, and had established a new empire with his own hands. Now, his appearance could no longer cover up his brilliance.
Having been on the throne for a long time made him look majestic without any anger, and even his beautiful beta face did not undermine his dignity at all.
Huo Xianfeng narrowed his eyes.
I have to say that Huo Chao's vision is really good. It's not in vain that the idiot spent so much effort and chased her for half a year. After all, after Huo Chao's death, Pei Changyun did a good job of cleaning up his mess.
Even without Huo Chao and Jin Yuan, it was able to compete with the church and even have the upper hand.
From the perspective of racial reproduction, Huo Xianfeng admires Pei Changyun more.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and no one spoke first. The air was a little stagnant for a moment.
Until Jin Yuan spoke carefully: "Huo Chao left a video, saying that you should play it when you meet all of them. Can you play it now?"
These words were said by Jin Yuan to Huo Xianfeng.
Perhaps the scene of him eating the mecha core just now caused a serious psychological trauma to Jin Yuan, causing the world's only 3S mecha to unconsciously use honorifics when facing Huo Xianfeng.
"Well, let it go."
Huo Xianfeng leaned back, and Nora behind him immediately took the plate away obediently, held it in her arms, and stood quietly behind Wang.
The video left by Huo Chao...
These few words instantly made everyone except Huo Xianfeng nervous.
Pei Changyun's eyes dimmed and he tightened his finger bones unconsciously.
It is obvious that this video was specially saved by Huo Chao for Huo Xianfeng.
When Huo Chao died, he didn't leave him a single word. But for Huo Xianfeng, he left so many things...
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then looked up.
At this time, the black ring was taken off Huo Xianfeng's ring finger and then floated to Huo Xianfeng's side.
The next second, with a "beep", Jin Yuan took over the projection system of the conference room. The faint blue light was projected from all directions, and finally gathered together, like countless dense threads, and began to intertwine.
Weaving from the bottom up -
Black combat boots, straight and slender legs, broad and upright shoulders, and finally the face.
In just a dozen seconds, Huo Chao's figure was completely projected.
Many people say that Huo Xianfeng looks like Huo Chao, but to Jiang Ci, the two people are completely different. Even their most intuitively similar appearances are actually very different.
Jiang Ci looked at Marshal Huo Chao, who was probably the image that best fit the image of a savior in people's minds: mature, steady, majestic and handsome.
If Huo Chao's face gives people the impression of a benevolent leader who cares about the people, then Huo Xianfeng should be a king who looks down on the world, handsome, cold, and naturally noble.
—This is the biggest difference between the two people.
They are different, but each has their own charm, just like the sun, moon, stars and rivers, each shining brightly in their own world.
The advanced projection technology makes it almost impossible to distinguish between the projection and reality.
So at this moment, the man who was standing beside Huo Xianfeng with his eyes closed seemed to have walked back from the world of the dead.
Next to him was Ye Shu, who was so excited that he could hardly control himself, and Zhou Jiuya, whose breathing rate suddenly accelerated. Both of them even stood up suddenly.
But Pei Changyun was still sitting there quietly, and there wasn't even any other overly revealing expression on his face.
He still looked calm, very calm, without even blinking, and simply, slightly, unnoticeably, sat up straight.
A few seconds later, under all the burning gazes, Huo Chao slowly opened his eyes—
Because Huo Xianfeng and Pei Changyun were sitting opposite each other, Huo Chao, who was standing next to the young man, gave Pei Changyun the illusion that the other party was staring at him at first sight the moment he opened his eyes.
At this moment, in this conference room, everyone really exists.
Only Pei Changyun and Huo Chao are projections.
—Only they are illusory.
The two of them looked as if they were only separated by a table.
But in fact, Pei Changyun knew very well that they had been separated by three hundred years and...
—The distance between life and death.
In this space, everyone was looking at Huo Chao, only Huo Xianfeng was looking at Pei Changyun.
Because among all the people here, only Huo Xianfeng knew that Pei Changyun liked Huo Chao.
Huo Xianfeng had no feelings before, because he was not interested in human love at all. At that time, Huo Xianfeng had only hatred in his heart, deep hatred.
Day after day, the accumulation and fermentation almost burst his entire chest and brain.
But now, Jiang Ci's appearance made him feel cared for and liked, so Huo Xianfeng could keenly see that Pei Changyun still liked Huo Chao-
It started from the morning when the sun rose many, many years ago when he secretly kissed the young man who was pretending to sleep on the grass, until now, three hundred years after Huo Chao's death.
This feeling has never changed, and has even accumulated and intensified over the course of time.
Because the boy could clearly sense the surging and crazy love and pain that the human emperor was trying hard to hide under his calm expression.
At this moment, there was something else in Huo Xianfeng's eyes when he looked at Pei Changyun.
Jiang Ci noticed the change in Huo Xianfeng's eyes. He was slightly startled and followed his gaze to look at Pei Changyun. At this moment, the emperor's eyes looked very strange.
Jiang Ci couldn't tell what was strange, but he just felt a little depressed.
However, this was a projection that had been recorded long ago. Huo Chao certainly could not see Pei Changyun who was staring at him without blinking. He just recorded what he was going to say in advance based on his prediction of the future.
This is the 29-year-old Huo Chao. He still looks familiar to everyone. He is wearing the military uniform of the Dawn Legion. His face is handsome and upright, his eyes are warm and firm, and he shows a familiar, gentle smile in Pei Changyun's gaze.
"If everyone can see this projection video, they should have seen Xiao Feng."
"… "
breeze.
Pei Changyun was slightly stunned.
This nickname is indeed Huo Chao's style, but Huo Chao is the only one who can call the Zerg king Xiaofeng.
"Let me introduce myself to you all-"
Huo Chao raised his hand as he spoke, and this pre-recorded virtual projection actually made his hand fall on Huo Xianfeng's shoulder.
Pei Changyun looked at the man's hand that was loosely placed on the boy's shoulder, his eyes dimmed. This showed that Huo Chao knew Huo Xianfeng very well, and knew that when they met, he was sure that Huo Xianfeng would sit there.
"This is Xiaofeng, the most powerful king of the Zerg, and also the best and most sincere friend of my life."
Generally speaking, when Huo Chao called him "the most powerful king", he must have something in mind.
So Huo Xianfeng looked up and glanced at the man. The latter just turned around at this moment, blinked at him, and smiled too brightly.
It seems to be saying, how is it? Are you touched
Huo Xianfeng: “…”
This guy is still as dumb as ever.
The boy let out a soft "tsk" and turned his head away.
—This feeling of being predicted made him a little uncomfortable.
But Huo Chao's introduction was not finished yet. He smiled, but his tone was very serious.
"Also, Xiao Feng is one of my teachers. Anyway, this guy is very, very powerful!"
Huo Xianfeng: "… Tsk."
This guy, why is he suddenly being praised
These words, spoken by Huo Chao himself, quickly eliminated the subtle tension and hostility in the air, and also almost completely overturned everyone's views and opinions of Huo Xianfeng.
Noticing everyone's incredible looks for a moment, Huo Xianfeng didn't feel happy or complacent at all. In fact, except for Jiang Ci, Huo Xianfeng didn't care what other people thought of him.
Even if Huo Chao was standing here today, Pei Changyun, Zhou Jiuya, Ye Shu and others would have no meaning to him. Therefore, Huo Chao deliberately praised him in front of these people so as not to cause any emotional fluctuations in Huo Xianfeng.
On the contrary, he thought about it for two seconds and roughly understood the purpose of Huo Chao's flattery.
I have to say that although Huo Chao looks stupid, he is actually very smart at times.
These words were indeed meant to praise Huo Xianfeng, but the more important purpose was—
Huo Chao pointed out Huo Xianfeng's identity, and directly confirmed his identity as Huo Xianfeng's close friend, and even gave him the title of teacher, which was to narrow the relationship and distance between Huo Xianfeng and humans in both directions.
For the sake of this close friend, Huo Xianfeng will not take the initiative to attack humans, at least not the empire.
Huo Chao was trying to find allies for Huo Xianfeng, but his main purpose was to help Pei Changyun win over the Zerg.
Because once the entire Zerg race has accumulated strength in Mingcheng after a while, no one will be able to threaten Huo Xianfeng. So the most important thing is that Huo Chao is warning Pei Changyun and the others without leaving any traces, never, ever, ever to be an enemy of Huo Xianfeng.
Huo Chao knew clearly that Huo Xianfeng had a deep hatred for humans.
However, he had not anticipated the appearance of Jiang Ci, and thus predicted that after the death of his only bond, no one would be able to gain the Zerg King's attention.
After this beginning, Huo Xianfeng clearly felt that humans' views and feelings towards him had changed.
After all, in the eyes of the world, Huo Chao is almost equivalent to the peak of human strength. If Huo Xianfeng's fighting power is acknowledged by Huo Chao himself, then his threat and danger are self-evident.
Not to mention, he also has an army of Zerg.
Therefore, Zhou Jiuya and Ye Shu, who had just been hostile and dissatisfied with Huo Xianfeng, immediately restrained all their negative emotions after hearing these words.
—Huo Chao’s goal was achieved.
These few short sentences instantly eliminated the suspicion and fear of each other between the two sides, and even laid the foundation for peaceful coexistence.
What remains is some information he left behind.
"There is a strong energy barrier around the Holy White Tower, which cannot be broken even by nuclear bombs... So don't attack rashly."
"Since discovering that I had a rebellious heart, the Pope wanted to use my DNA to recreate an obedient puppet. So I destroyed all my DNA."
"I don't know what the stigmata are. This thing gave me power and also controlled me. If you want to find out the secret, find He Qichu. He is one of the core people who created the stigmata."
"… "
This short projection video lasted only ten minutes.
drop.
Huo Chao's face disappeared in the blue light.
The meeting room fell into silence.
Pei Changyun was slightly dazed, but he was the first to come back to his senses. He frowned and suddenly asked,
"Jinyuan, when did Huo Chao take this projection?"
Jin Yuan reported a time.
Ye Shu looked solemn. He remembered it very clearly.
"That was one month before the Zerg invasion... entered Earth."
At this time, Ye Shu seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned to look at the emperor, asking in a temper,
"Pei Changyun, let me ask you again, why did you transport so many Zhimei flowers to Earth to attract the Zerg?"
"… "
Before Pei Changyun could answer, Huo Xianfeng frowned and said,
"I said, did you misunderstand something?"
Ye Shu was startled, and turned to listen to the boy say,
"Although the Zhimei flower attracts the Zerg, it is like the reaction of some humans who prefer sweets when they see cakes. They like it, but it definitely cannot control their rationality."
Speaking of this, when his memory had not yet returned, he felt strange that the Zhimei flower looked ordinary, but it was actually the original sin that could drive the Zerg crazy and even invade the earth. In a sense, it was just like a joke.
He felt a strong sense of disobedience in his heart.
But that's how human history is written, and imperial law also prohibits it, so he didn't think too much about it.
But now it seems ridiculous.
Huo Xianfeng sneered.
"Besides, I was the one who summoned the entire Zerg tribe at that time, so I didn't have time to care about the rose flower."
"… "
Ye Shu was stunned.
Today, all humans believe that the Zerg are invaders, and the Rose is the flower of original sin that attracts the Zerg.
The Zerg came for the Zhimei flower.
They are mindless invaders.
But-
But now Huo Xianfeng said that the Zerg do not care about Zhimeihua, they just simply like it and it does not affect their rationality.
Pei Changyun remained silent and clenched his fists.
At this time, Jiang Ci suddenly looked surprised.
"Uncle Changyun..."
This was not the time to address her in private, so Jiang Ci immediately changed to a respectful name—
"Your Majesty, aren't you...?" Allergic to pollen
Jiang Ci remembered that when he was a child, he went to the palace to play. Before entering the palace, he ran through the flowers and went to find Pei Changyun. So that day, the emperor just reached out and touched his head, and he immediately had a severe allergic reaction.
Pei Changyun's face flushed red at the time, and within just a few minutes, large red rashes appeared on his arms. He couldn't breathe and was almost suffocated.
Jiang Ci still remembers that horrible scene vividly.
so-
Why did Pei Changyun, who was obviously allergic to pollen, personally transport a large number of rose flowers to Earth during the Zerg invasion
