Ye Shu is not as smart as Pei Changyun, but he is not stupid either.
If the Zhimei flower was a scam set by Huo Chao to Pei Changyun, with the sole purpose of preventing him from coming to Earth to witness the bloody sacrifice, then it meant that Huo Chao was voluntary in committing the nuclear explosion.
—Huo Chao had long anticipated his own death.
Therefore, what Pei Changyun said to Ye Shu was seven parts true and three parts false. It was true that Pei Changyun transported Zhimei flowers and thought that Zhimei flowers could attract Zerg. It was true that the nuclear explosion took place, but it was false that he let Huo Chao go to die.
Ye Shu only told Jiang Jinsheng about Jinyuan and asked him to go to Tiandong Star to hide it. Jiang Jinsheng must have told Pei Changyun.
So, the truth of the matter is -
Although Pei Changyun didn't know that what Ye Shu actually hid were the insect eggs in the wreckage of the Forbidden Abyss, he knew that Huo Chao wanted Ye Shu to hide the wreckage of the Forbidden Abyss.
At that time, almost everyone thought that the Forbidden Abyss was destroyed in the nuclear explosion, along with the dead Huo Chao.
Or even if the church knew that the remains of the Forbidden Abyss were still there, they would think that it must be with Pei Changyun, because he was the closest and most trusted governor of Huo Chao.
Therefore, Pei Changyun needed to hide this secret, so he deliberately lied to Ye Shu and deliberately provoked his hatred so that Ye Shu could take Jin Yuan away decisively.
Although this secret was eventually discovered by the church.
But that was a hundred years later. The alliance was overthrown, Ye Shu had already established a firm foothold on Tiandong Star, and Pei Changyun had basically laid the foundation for the empire, gaining the upper hand in the confrontation between the Imperial Church and the Empire.
The Phantom God Cult was severely damaged, and out of fear, it was unable to attack Tian Dongxing again.
So the truth about all this is that -
Huo Chao lied to Pei Changyun that the rose flower could attract the Zerg, and Pei Changyun lied to Ye Shu that he asked Huo Chao to detonate the nuclear bomb.
Ye Shu had always thought that Zhou Jiuya was the dumbest among them, and that he was played around by Pei Changyun. But now he realized that he was the dumbest, and that he was the one played around by Pei Changyun.
"Zhou Jiuya..."
The city lord's voice was hoarse.
"Did you know everything from the beginning?"
Zhou Jiuya really knew everything.
Because of Huo Chao's last words, Zhou Jiuya has been waiting by Pei Changyun's side all the time and loyally carrying out all his orders.
In fact, Huo Chao also paved the way for Pei Changyun, but only Zhou Jiuya knew all this.
For example, he and Jiang Jin were born after Huo Chao's death. One helped Pei Changyun stabilize the army, and the other provided him with logistics and technology. Together, the two helped him lay the foundation of the empire.
For example, the current capital star of the empire was originally found by Huo Chao, and it was he who ordered Jiang Jinsheng to secretly build basic industries and military camps on it, and named it Hengyun Star.
But after the empire established its capital on Hengyun Star, everyone got used to calling it the Capital Star.
For example, the video clip left for Huo Xianfeng, although every word was praising Huo Xianfeng, was actually trying to persuade the King Bug not to attack humans. It was also helping Pei Changyun eliminate an invisible huge threat.
For example, the day before the fall of the Earth, Huo Chao killed all those senior officials of the Alliance who posed a great threat to Pei Changyun.
The Alliance Speaker Setlin escaped the disaster by fleeing to the Phantom God Cult.
—Why not kill them all
Because some of the ones left behind, although there are many threats, Pei Changyun can handle them by himself with his skills. If they are all killed, the smart governor will guess it.
Everyone thought that those people died at the hands of the Zerg, but in fact, they died at the hands of Huo Chao. Otherwise, Pei Changyun would not have been able to overthrow the alliance so easily.
Zhou Jiuya knew all of this because he was a participant.
Because on that bloody night, Zhou Jiuya was the one who handed the knife to Huo Chao.
—But Huo Chao didn’t allow him to say it.
That person already knows his own ending, so he won't let anyone talk about it.
[Changyun will definitely build a wonderful country.]
[That is his dream, and it will come true.]
Zhou Jiuya remembered that the man wiped the blood off his face and shook his head at him with a smile.
[It’s a pity that I can’t see it, Xiaojiu, please take a closer look for me.]
[… good.]
Zhou Jiuya agreed very seriously.
As for why he did not leave a video and directly designated Pei Changyun as his successor, in this way, Pei Changyun would have to spend less effort to gather the power of Huo Chao's subordinates.
Zhou Jiuya asked this question at that time. It was the first and only time he questioned Huo Chao's order.
Since Huo Chao has already laid out so many things for Pei Changyun and fully supported him in building a new world, why not take this step, which seems so critical because it will reduce a lot of troubles that Pei Changyun may encounter later.
[Because then he'll never be able to get past me.]
Because in that case, Pei Changyun would always be the successor of Huo Chao in name, and he would always be inferior to Huo Chao, instead of standing shoulder to shoulder with him or even surpassing his existence.
Zhou Jiuya understood and there were no other problems.
Looking back three hundred years later, it has been proven that Huo Chao's ideas and concerns were correct.
Even though some people still say that Pei Changyun came to power by stepping on Huo Chao, in the eyes of most people, Pei Changyun is the emperor who created peace in troubled times and a great man who single-handedly supported the new world after Huo Chao's death.
His achievements and contributions are no less than Huo Chao's, and even surpass him.
The deployments and plans made by that person were all moving in the best direction, which was also an important reason why Zhou Jiuya was more determined to carry out the Marshal's last orders.
Ye Shu and Zhou Jiuya are also very loyal to Huo Chao.
But for this kind of thing, Huo Chao only brought Zhou Jiuya and not Ye Shu. One reason was that Ye Shu was still angry with him at the time, and the other was that Ye Shu couldn't control his mouth.
This was also the reason why Huo Chao listened to Pei Changyun's advice and sent Ye Shu to the local area to serve as a commander for training.
As for Zhou Jiuya, he has existed as a stain since childhood. Although Jiang Jinsheng has never expressed his concern for him, it is difficult for Zhou Jiuya to get close to his half-brother because of guilt, inferiority, and the feeling that his existence is a shame and that he has taken away other people's things.
Ye Shu did have a tragic life, but before that, he grew up under the love of his parents. Zhou Jiuya was different, he grew up in an environment of rumors, discrimination and attacks, and was not needed or expected by anyone.
Later, after meeting Huo Chao, Zhou Jiuya gradually found the meaning of his life with that person.
Therefore, Zhou Jiuya was loyal, a typical example of loyalism. Among Huo Chao's confidants, he was always taciturn, had a low sense of presence, and followed orders strictly without asking for reasons.
—Like a very useful sword.
If it was him instead of Ye Shu who had his arm broken, Zhou Jiuya would not have any complaints and would definitely not be angry with Huo Chao like Ye Shu did.
Because he can understand, accept, and have no complaints.
Because of this, Zhou Jiuya keeps his mouth shut, which is an important reason why he was able to be Huo Chao's personal bodyguard, and later promoted to adjutant, and even legion commander, and participate in these secrets.
Pei Changyun was such a proud and smart person that when he himself confirmed that Huo Chao had left nothing for him, he would never ask others. So Zhou Jiuya also strictly followed the Marshal's will, saying nothing and just quietly carrying it out.
So even now, the only thing he could tell Ye Shu was that secret that was no longer considered a secret.
"I only know one thing. Marshal Huo Chao accidentally told me that His Majesty is allergic to pollen."
"… a little?"
Ye Shu closed his eyes and smiled miserably.
"Yes... a little."
"That's it."
That’s the crucial, little point.
He hated Pei Changyun for so many years, but he found out that all of this was controlled by the other party.
But Ye Shu seemed to have no right to be angry or question, because the other party had been silently protecting him, protecting him from the covetousness and evil hands of the church.
That's ridiculous.
Ye Shu covered his eyebrows with one hand and actually laughed out loud.
He felt himself to be quite ridiculous.
He is just a self-satisfied, impotent and furious fool.
Jiang Ci looked at Ye Shu quietly. He was not actually familiar with him, but he could feel his pain deeply, because even if it was a deception in the name of protection, the hurt could not be eliminated or erased when the truth was known.
Jiang Ci was deceived by her father for ten days.
But Ye Shu and Pei Changyun were deceived for three hundred years.
He couldn't empathize with that feeling, but he could barely imagine the tip of the iceberg.
But even if it's just the tip of the iceberg, it's painful enough.
Even looking at Pei Changyun's appearance just now, he didn't even know why Huo Chao lied to him. Jiang Ci was hesitating whether to tell the other party.
He turned his head and looked at the place where the Emperor's projection disappeared.
Would it be easier to know the truth than to be kept in the dark
-uncertain.
It took Jiang Ci a long time to gradually realize Jiang Jinsheng's intentions and feel her father's surging love. However, this did not make Jiang Ci feel better. Instead, she felt even greater pain and collapsed, but had no one to talk to.
Because at that time, several years had passed since Jiang Jinsheng's death.
He can't recover.
He can't do anything.
Everyone has come out of the haze of Jiang Jin's life and death. They have accepted it, gotten used to it, and returned to normal life. Only Jiang Ci has been trapped in it.
It was not even until then that he realized he had been trapped inside.
"Jiang Ci?"
Huo Xianfeng's voice pulled him out of the mire of memories.
Jiang Ci was stunned and turned to look at him. The familiar phoenix eyes were looking at her quietly and seriously.
At this moment, Jiang Ci suddenly realized that from childhood to adulthood, all those who said they loved him and cared about him never really understood him. They treated him as a child, but they also thought that Jiang Ci only needed to eat well, drink well, be safe and not get sick.
that's it.
They don't have time to care about anything else because they are busy.
The emperor, the legion commander, the city lord, the father of imperial technology, each of them can be said to be a big figure that countless people respect, and the young master of the Jiang family, who is protected by everyone, has an identity that is extremely envied.
But for Jiang Ci, it meant that he was indeed loved by many people, but their great and heavy identities and responsibilities destined all the love to be limited to protecting his life.
There is nothing else besides this.
There is no time to even accompany him, let alone understand him.
But Huo Xianfeng could always instantly detect his emotions, even the slightest bit.
—For example, now.
When Jiang Ci finally mustered up the courage to tell Pei Changyun the deepest and most painful secret in her heart, the other two people paid attention to the marshal and the emperor, rather than what the young Jiang Ci had experienced and felt.
Moreover, that person not only notices, but also responds and comforts.
"You look sad, do you want a hug?"
Huo Xianfeng didn't think there was anything wrong with saying this in front of Jiang Ci's two parents. He even turned sideways, revealing his broad chest, and stretched out his hand towards Jiang Ci.
"… "
In fact, if the other two super light bulbs weren’t there, Jiang Ci really wanted to hug him.
But when Huo Xianfeng said this, the two parents on the opposite side were shocked.
Although they had just known through pheromones that the two were in a completely marked relationship, Jiang Ci and Huo Xianfeng had been interacting very normally since entering the conference room. They even looked a little unfamiliar with each other despite Jiang Ci's deliberate restraint.
In addition, most of their attention had been diverted by Huo Chao and Pei Changyun just now, and they had a subconscious psychological rejection, so they unconsciously suppressed the fact that Jiang Ci was marked by Huo Xianfeng.
But, but!
Now is not the time to pretend that we don't know and pretend that it doesn't exist.
Zhou Jiuya clenched his fists again and again. He stared at Jiang Ci, his heart twitching with jealousy and pain.
After all, Jiang Ci had never shown any sign of intimacy to anyone since she was little. She even rarely let anyone hold her since she learned to walk, and only Jiang Jinsheng would let her hold her occasionally.
After Jiang Jinsheng passed away, no one could get close to him anymore.
As for this little uncle who looks scary and fierce, just forget about him.
Can!!!
But!!!
Only three months had passed, and that fierce child who had his spikes sticking out to the whole world could now be hugged by another alpha? ? ?
Zhou Jiuya's heart was bleeding and felt sour.
Jiang Ci was being stared at by two extremely burning gazes. Of course, he couldn't hug Huo Xianfeng, but of course he couldn't not give any response. Fortunately, there were roller skates under the chair, and the table was not particularly long, so he could move a little closer to Huo Xianfeng without leaving a trace, and then quickly reached out and shook the boy's hand.
"I'm fine..."
In fact, this was already a big change. In the past, the major general would probably just turn his head away in shame, pretending to be indifferent and indifferent. But even in front of his parents, the omega, who always had an awkward personality, overcame his overly thin skin and expressed an intimate response to Huo Xianfeng.
However, Jiang Ci originally planned to just give it a light shake and be done with it, but the other party suddenly tightened his finger bones and held his hand tightly.
Zhou Jiuya & Ye Shu, who witnessed the whole process: "…"
Their eyes were simultaneously focused on the two people's tightly clasped hands, like sunlight focused by a magnifying glass.
—The two parents choked.
The two parents, who have been single since birth, have never suffered such a blow.
Even when Jiang Jinsheng and Bai Min were dating, they kept it a secret. It was not until later when they had made a solemn vow to be together till death that Jiang Jinsheng gritted his teeth and said that he must rescue Min Min from the Illusionary God Cult.
Ye Shu and Zhou Jiuya just found out about this and were shocked to the point of being speechless.
What? ! ! When did Jiang Jinsheng stop being single? ! !
Didn’t they both fail in blind dates together? ? ? ?
At that time, Pei Changyun arranged blind dates for almost everyone of them, except Huo Chao.
But without exception, they all failed.
Ye Shu and Zhou Jiuya found it a little unbelievable at the time, because Jiang Jinsheng was very different from the rough military A guys like them. He had an excellent family background, a very good personality, a smart mind, gentle manners, and good looks, but he failed in a blind date.
After learning the result, they were both greatly comforted.
Look!
It’s not that the two of them are not liked by omegas, even Jiang Jinsheng failed, it must not be their problem!!!
Unexpectedly, the other party had already dealt with Huo Chao's sister.
"… "
But even though I was shocked, at least I could accept it, because they had never done such a thing to hurt single people in public!!!
But Jiang Ci is different from Huo Xianfeng.
How long has it been
They actually... actually did this kind of thing in public!!!
Zhou Jiuya and Ye Shu couldn't bear to watch it anymore, and they turned their heads away angrily, their movements were surprisingly consistent.
Jiang Ci couldn't break free, but if he moved too much, it would become even more embarrassing, so he quickly pulled Huo Xianfeng's hand and moved it from the table top to under the table.
The major general tried hard to maintain a serious expression and pretend that nothing had happened just now.
"Well, I was just..."
He tried hard to change the subject, but his hand was held by the other party. Jiang Ci's mind was blank at this time, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Are you looking at the projection port?"
Huo Xianfeng found an excuse for him.
"… right."
At this moment, Jiang Ci stared at the projection port above the wall, and suddenly a current flashed through his mind.
He suddenly remembered that the signal from Shenglu Star had been blocked.
Why can Pei Changyun, who is far away on the capital star, be projected here so smoothly
Jiang Ci's brain, which was filled with emotions, suddenly cleared up, and she immediately turned to look at Zhou Jiuya.
"Has the new signal channel been built?"
Jiang Ci knew the technological level and progress of the Empire, and it should be impossible to do it in such a short time. Because the First Legion just arrived at Shenglu Star yesterday, it was impossible to break through the opponent's signal shielding so quickly.
Zhou Jiuya was startled, his expression was complicated, but he quickly replied,
"No, Your Majesty said that someone on Shenglu Star opened a secret signal channel."
"—someone?"
Huo Xianfeng raised his eyebrows slightly. He was actually not interested in the entanglements and involvements of Huo Chao's group of confidants. However, he was more interested in the person on Shenglu Star who could open a signal channel for His Majesty the Emperor.
He nonchalantly pinched Jiang Ci's soft fingertips and asked,
"Any clues about the other party's identity?"
clue
Zhou Jiuya pondered for two seconds, then clicked the light computer on his wrist and projected the photo of the forbidden abyss taken from high in the sky.
"Your Majesty did not say who it was, but the other party sent this photo."
"This angle..."
Jiang Ci narrowed his eyes, took a quick look, and concluded,
"The person who filmed this was on our starship at the time."
On a starship
Huo Xianfeng pondered for a few seconds, and the figure of a woman emerged in his mind.
·
"Cecilia, your injury..."
At the same time, in a high-level research room inside the Holy White Tower, Angus looked at the scar on Cecilia's palm with a worried look on his face.
"Do you really not need to go to the medical room?"
“… No, it will heal itself after a while.”
Cecilia's tone was a little impatient, but she soon softened.
"But Kuru is broken..."
"—I'll help you fix it."
Before she finished, Angus took the initiative to bring it up. He seemed to have thought of something and hesitated to say,
"Cecilia, the secret communication channel you asked me to open... I checked the signal from the other side, and it came from Hengyun Star..."
"Oh, that's a classified mission, you just have to do it."
In fact, according to the rules of the church, Cecilia did not have the power to command Angus, but the tone in which she said this was very arbitrary and carried a certain commanding flavor.
Angus was stunned.
"okay… "
Cecilia glanced at him and found that Angus was still a little hesitant, so she frowned and immediately showed a gentle smile. She even reached out to hold the other's arm, showing a slightly weak gesture.
"Angus, this confidential mission was actually assigned to me. I shouldn't have asked you for help, but you also saw the situation in Mingcheng..."
Her face showed some fragility.
"I can't... can't beat that guy at all. If that wasn't the case, I wouldn't bother you..."
"no problem, no problem!"
Angus waved his hands in panic.
"If you, Leah, hadn't recommended me to the Pope, I probably wouldn't be where I am now."
He lowered his eyes, a dark and forbearing look appeared on his face.
"The teacher has always looked down on me. He only likes Jiang Jinsheng, that traitor."
"Heh, Jiang Jinsheng..."
Perhaps only when Cecilia mentioned Jiang Jinsheng did her tone reveal the most genuine disgust and hatred.
"That traitor is no match for you, Angus."
Angus and Jiang Jinsheng are both students of the Saint.
The former was also considered a genius, but his design concept was very anti-human, which was disliked by Saint Zexus. So he had been silent for many years and hidden in the shadow of Jiang Jinsheng.
So Cecilia took a fancy to Angus. She asked the believers to humiliate and bully him. Finally, she appeared when he was in the most difficult time, praised him, and supported him to come before the Pope.
—It’s a very simple thing.
As usual, she comforted the other party and confirmed that the secret communication channel opened by Angus would not be discovered by others, and that the repair of Kuru would be completed within three days. Only then did Cecilia leave.
But when she reached the door, she met the Saint.
Cecilia knew exactly who to offend, who not to offend, who to use, and who to completely ignore.
She is essentially the same type of person as He Zhun, but her extra experience allows her to live a little more easily than that beta youth.
So whenever Cecilia saw the Saint, no matter how arrogant he was, she would always bow respectfully.
"Liya has met the Saint."
The old man snorted coldly and was about to pass her, but just as the two passed by, Cecilia suddenly spoke,
"Sir Saint, although Leah has great faith in your ability, isn't the restoration of the Forbidden Abyss too fast?"
"… "
Zeus paused.
"The church has been preparing for restoration work since it confirmed that the Forbidden Abyss is on Tiandong Star."
What this means is that even if one is fully prepared, this speed is not fast.
"Ah... I see. That's a shame."
Cecilia turned around, her beautiful almond eyes full of smiles.
"You worked so hard, day and night, for so long, but now the results have fallen into the hands of others, what do you think?"
The saint glanced at her coldly.
"I'm just an old man in charge of research. I can't control those things. However, the super brain that made the central program chain was destroyed by Huo Chao. There is only one 3S mecha. You can handle it by yourselves."
"oh… "
Cecilia climbed onto the other's shoulder, leaned close to the Saint's ear, and whispered,
"Did Huo Chao destroy it, or... did you destroy it?"
"… "
The saint's expression was calm, as if he heard nothing.
"Archbishop Cecilia, are you interrogating me?"
"Oh, how dare you, Leah?"
The woman loosened her grip, distanced herself from him, and bowed her head respectfully.
"Leah has something else to do, so I won't bother you anymore."
After that, Cecilia walked away in her high heels. The saint narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the woman's back, who was charming and beautiful, like a beautiful swaying branch of flowers.
But he said nothing, just clenched his fists slightly, then turned and walked in another direction, revealing a completely different, hunched and old back.
"Lady Cecilia."
Bishop Ace appeared quickly from nowhere beside the woman and reported the information he had gathered.
"Mandela escaped and asked His Holiness the Pope to immediately issue an order to attack Mingcheng, but was rejected."
Not launching an attack on the fallen Ming city
Cecilia paused.
"Why?"
Ace briefly talked about the chaos and turmoil in the capital planet at the moment.
Cecilia frowned, and a bit of bloody anger suddenly appeared on her face.
"Tsk, I knew that old guy Setlin was not a good person. Since Huo Chao had already decided to kill those old foxes, he should have rushed into the Holy Relics White Tower and chopped off the old guy's head!"
But as if she had thought of something, Cecilia smiled again and walked briskly.
"Just wait, there will be something interesting to watch. After all, His Majesty the Emperor is no pushover."
Ace smiled flatteringly, slightly hunched his back and followed the woman, and continued,
"There is one more thing that will definitely interest you more. Do you remember the beta next to Leinster?"
"Hmm, let me think, what is it called?"
"Yes, He Zhun."
Ace whispered,
"He is He Qichu's son."
He Qichu
Cecilia frowned, she knew this person.
—The first group of scientific research geniuses cultivated by the Phantom God Cult.
At that time, the church was in urgent need of recruiting talents, so it established free academies throughout the alliance and selected and trained top talents in various fields. Finally, after careful selection, only a very small number of people entered the White Tower of Holy Relics. In order to control these people, they were all injected with stigmata.
Among them are Jiang Jinsheng from the military industry and He Qichu from the biological genetic engineering field. Although the two are from different majors, they are equally brilliant talents.
But many, many years later, one became the father of imperial technology, while the other died in the nuclear explosion three hundred years ago.
"No, he didn't die in the nuclear explosion during the Zerg invasion."
Ace shook his head.
"He Qichu took advantage of the chaos to escape from the church and hid his identity on Hengyun Star. His name in the empire was Zhao Yun, and He Zhun was also called Zhao Zhun. Unfortunately, during the political purge of the empire 28 years ago, he was found to have holy marks, so he was regarded as a spy of the Illusion God Cult by the Imperial Supervision Department."
"At that time, Pei Changyun personally ordered the execution of all spies, even their family members. But for some reason, his son survived and was later taken home and adopted by Jiang Jinsheng. He changed his name to He Zhun, saying that he was the child of a distant relative. Coincidentally, the Jiang family did have a distant relative named He."
Cecilia remembered what He Zhun said at the trial.
[The reason why I have been lurking in the Jiang family for so many years is to take revenge on Pei Changyun.]
[Pei Changyun personally ordered the killing of my entire family, my mother, my father, my... younger brother who was less than three years old...]
—I didn’t lie.
In other words, He Zheng really had a grudge against Pei Changyun.
Cecilia raised her eyebrows slightly, which was quite interesting.
"Actually, there's something more interesting..."
But before Ace could finish his words, he saw Leinster coming over angrily with murderous eyes.
Cecilia tilted her head slightly and dodged the opponent's fierce punch.
boom!!!
The man's huge fist smashed a deep hole in the wall behind him.
Cecilia was not afraid at all. Instead, she smiled and pulled Ace who wanted to come forward.
"Hey, Leinster, what's the matter? Why are you so angry?"
"—Why do you regret it?!!"
The man's eagle eyes were fierce and he pushed the petite omega against the wall.
Cecilia was surprised.
"… regret?"
At this moment, Leinster looked like an enraged wolf.
"You promised him that you wouldn't inject the stigmata, why did you go back on your word?!!!"
"… "
The woman blinked slowly, finally registering what the other person was saying.
Cecilia frowned, and her frivolous tone just now became a little heavy.
"You mean... He Zhun was injected with a stigmata?"
But as soon as she finished speaking, the woman shook her head and said with regret,
"Tsk, unfortunately, you found the wrong person. I just came back from Mingcheng with wounds all over my body, and I don't have the energy to touch your little darling."
As she said this, she also gave Rhines a special message.
"But my mission has been completed. I confirmed that the man was not Huo Chao. He should be the SSS-level asset lost by the church. Moreover, the Zerg have now occupied Mingcheng. Leinster, I advise you to prepare early for the possible war that may happen next."
Leinster: “…”
He stared at Cecilia's face, as if to confirm the truth of her words.
At this moment, Ace next to him suddenly spoke up.
"As far as I know, He Zhun has entered the upper part of the Holy White Tower."
—That is where only core personnel can enter.
Before that, He Zhun could only stay in the small laboratory in the shoddy white tower in Baigu City.
In fact, when these words were spoken, Cecilia and Leinster understood them after a little thought.
—He Zhun volunteered to be injected with the stigmata.
At this moment, Cecilia laughed mercilessly.
"It seems you are of no use to him, Leinster."
The woman poked the alpha's chest, raised her red lips, and smiled very charmingly.
"Your little sweetheart has stepped on your shoulders and climbed to the position he wants. Why, are you extremely sad now?"
“… Shut up, Cecilia!”
Leinster stared at her and sneered,
"Do you want me to describe again how ugly you looked when Bai Min died?"
"… "
boom!
The next second, the two men attacked at the same time, and the huge scythe and the black scimitar collided violently, instantly creating a string of crackling sparks and lightning.
Ace quietly moved away from the battlefield. After all, at this moment, the murderous aura of Lady Cecilia was simply terrifying.
He was the person who was best at observing people's words and expressions. Looking at the situation, he knew that the two people would not be able to stop for a while and would probably have to fight to the death.
In fact, he cannot understand this behavior of poking at each other's scars and fighting each other to death. Isn't it good for everyone to benefit each other
"Leinster, you fucking bastard! I'm going to clear your mind today!"
well.
Ace sighed, then expertly dialed the logistics department's communication number.
"Yes, that's right. Those two are fighting again. Please evacuate the people around here... The building damage is estimated to be 70%..."
He turned his head to avoid the flying debris, and then somersaulted with one hand to avoid the stray bullets. He continued,
"Uh-huh... about three hours... oh no, maybe send someone over to fix it in four hours..."
After saying this, Ace silently covered his ears. Sure enough, the next second he heard the man's furious roar.
"Cecilia!!!"
·
At the same time, this name also appeared in Mingcheng, from the mouth of Huo Xianfeng in the meeting room of the First Legion.
"—Cecilia."
The person who opened the secret signal channel for Pei Changyun and the person who sent the photo of Jinyuan should be her.
After his memory was restored, Huo Xianfeng finally remembered why Cecilia looked so familiar to him, it was because she was Bai Min's apostle.
He had seen the other person through Huo Chao's perspective.
Huo Xianfeng had a deep impression of Cecilia, because that omega girl was very afraid of Huo Chao who pretended to be cold and cruel in the Phantom God Cult.
It is not the kind of fear that believers have for the status of the Son of God, but rather it is similar to the shadow and fear that victims have for their perpetrators.
But of course Huo Chao didn't do anything to hurt Cecilia, but the omega girl had been hurt by other alphas, so she had a psychological trauma towards all alphas.
However, when we meet in Mingcheng now, Cecilia is very different from what she was back then.
If it weren't for his omega gender and his iconic pink curly hair, Huo Xianfeng would be almost unrecognizable.
Because Cecilia at that time was wearing a very thick white robe, large black-framed glasses, her back was always slightly hunched, and she looked timid and quiet.
She was completely different from the brutal woman with a scythe on the starship.
Huo Xianfeng's confident tone immediately drew everyone's attention to him.
"-how do you know?!"
This sentence was said by Jiang Ci.
His tone sounded a bit questioning and anxious and angry, causing Zhou Jiuya and Huo Xianfeng to look at him.
The former was because the legion commander rarely heard his child speak in such a strange tone. As for the latter, of course, Huo Xianfeng obviously noticed that his wife was jealous.
He supported his face with one hand, tilted his head slightly to look at the Major General with a cold expression, held his hand, and said,
"Aci, I think you are a bit mean to me."
This sentence is actually in a declarative tone.
However, at this moment, one always feels as if he is making an accusation, an accusation that is mixed with a bit of grievance but also very proud.
Jiang Ci: “…”
Ye Shu: “…”
Zhou Jiuya: “…”
silence-
Silence is the meeting room at this moment.
After all, Huo Xianfeng's appearance was very cool and pretentious.
Moreover, from the moment the other party entered the meeting room, he brought with him an extremely strong sense of oppression, even faintly suppressing Pei Changyun, the emperor.
Plus the halo of introduction that Huo Chao gave to Yu.
This resulted in Huo Xianfeng's image being infinitely elevated in everyone's mind.
So now, when he said this, Jiang Ci was used to Huo Xianfeng's mouth, so it was okay, but the other two alphas felt like they were struck by lightning, and they had goose bumps all over the floor.
Because no matter what Huo Xianfeng said or his tone, it seemed normal at first glance, but it always made people feel awkward.
Especially Zhou Jiuya, he was in a bad state.
He clenched his fists again and again, feeling the veins on his forehead throbbing. He felt like something was wrong everywhere, his whole body.
The leaves are sparse and not very good.
After all, he is a straight and rough alpha and would never say this... this... Well, he couldn't really tell what it felt like, it was disgusting anyway.
—Very disgusting.
Ye Shu suddenly lost all his sad emotions. He felt very uncomfortable, indescribably uncomfortable.
Jin Yuan was talking to Bai Ze on the radio with a "tsk tsk tsk" sound at this time.
"You're flirting in front of someone's parents, really..."
Bai Ze had a blank expression on his face. He felt that it was normal for this kind of thing to happen to the big devil. After all, the other party could do that kind of thing in the cockpit of him and Jin Yuan. Flirting in front of Jiang Ci's parents was nothing.
"I really miss the time when Ah Ci was single."
—I miss you so much.
At least at that time, Bai Ze only had to clean up Jiang Ci's pheromones.
Jiang Ci noticed the awkward atmosphere at the moment. In fact, he really wanted to go up and punch Huo Xianfeng directly, and then make him talk properly, but one of his hands was held tightly by Huo Xianfeng, and Ye Shu and Zhou Jiuya were staring at him from the opposite side.
If he really punched her, and Huo Xianfeng then made some rash moves, it might look like they were just flirting.
There was no doubt in Jiang Ci's mind that Huo Xianfeng definitely did it on purpose. He definitely said that in front of his uncle.
But now, Jiang Ci had no choice but to endure it and settle the score when she returned.
He took a deep breath and spoke in a slow tone,
"I didn't. I was just surprised and astonished. How did you know that woman?"
Jiang Ci's tone was very calm and sounded very, very normal. But Huo Xianfeng was not normal. He completely ignored the two alphas beside him.
The young man spread his hands and said helplessly,
"I knew you couldn't let it go, but there's really nothing between her and me. We just had a fight on the starship, and we had no contact before."
Jiang Ci: “…”
Ye Shu & Zhou Jiuya: "..."
What on earth is this kind of... husband and wife quarreling, and the wife getting jealous? ! !
Jiang Ci clenched his fists.
"Huo Xianfeng—"
He said these three words in a low voice, but he gritted his teeth. Before Jiang Ci could finish his words, he heard Huo Xianfeng continue,
"Even if there was any contact with the pink-haired omega, it was Huo Chao who did it."
He sold out his stupid friend without hesitation and extricated himself from the matter completely.
"—I didn't touch her."
At this moment, Pei Changyun suddenly appeared from the projection. He originally remembered that there were some things he had not explained to Zhou Jiuya, but he heard this sentence as soon as he came out.
That pink-haired omega...
Huo Chao contacted...
His Majesty the Emperor was suddenly stunned.
But before he could say anything, he heard a sudden crisp clapping sound in the conference room.
Snapped!
Ye Shu couldn't stand it any longer, he slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Huo Xianfeng angrily,
"You bastard, our marshal has always been clean and has never had any ambiguous relationship with anyone. Don't talk nonsense!"
"… Never had?"
Huo Xianfeng turned his head and looked at him in surprise, then looked at the Emperor beside him.
"But didn't he and Pei Changyun kiss each other?"
Ye Shu: “…”
Zhou Jiuya: “…”
Pei Changyun: “…”
Jin Yuan: “… Tsk!”
Even Jiang Ci was shocked.
Wha…what? !!!
Is this the kind of relationship between Uncle Changyun and Marshal Huo Chao? ! ! !
a bolt from the blue!
Ye Shu collapsed on the spot.
It feels like the idol you are crazy about suddenly announces his relationship with your arch-enemy.
