Chapter 27:

When Duan Hengye was nervously reminiscing about the royal family and the Southern Stars in "Dumping Interstellar", Zhuo Yan finally left the room after a sneer. After the emperor's back completely disappeared from the door, Duan Hengye still stood in place. The Marshal turned around and opened his mouth to pull his mind back, "Aheng, you slept for almost six hours."
"...Huh?" Suddenly hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye, who was in a trance, was a little stupefied before realizing that he was talking to himself. However, Meng Jinhuai didn't seem to mind at all when he noticed the other party's apparent absence.
Before Zhuo Yan came in, Duan Hengye was about to open the side window of this bedroom. As if he had a mind-reading skill, while Duan Hengye was thinking about how to answer this sentence, Meng Jinhuai walked over and opened the window.
The speed of transportation in the interstellar era has greatly increased. Sometimes it only takes a few minutes to cross a hemisphere. People have long lost the concept of "jet lag". The silver wall slowly opened, and a brilliant starry sky showed through the huge French windows. Seeing this deep night, Duan Hengye reflexively felt that it was already midnight.
"I just notified Nan Zhuxing to announce the news of your waking up." Meng Jinhuai said as he walked to the white wardrobe in the corner of the room. There were dozens of coats of different styles hanging in this cabinet. Meng Jinhuai paused for a while, then took out a beige windbreaker from inside. "Today's incident has a great impact, and the people of the empire are very concerned about your state." After speaking, Master Marshal came and gently put the windbreaker on Duan Hengye's shoulder.
During the coma, in order to facilitate Duan Heng's rest at night, the robot took off his white suit. At this time, Hengye only wore the shirt that was used inside. Its texture was a bit like linen. Good-looking is good-looking, but it is not windproof at all.
When Zhuo Yan was in the room just now, Duan Hengye only cared about dealing with each other, and now only after Meng Jinhuai reminded him that his clothes were indeed a little thin.
After the sensing device discovered that the wardrobe was opened, a large mirror appeared on the metal wall. Duan Hengye's after-light glanced at himself in the mirror, and then he couldn't help but sigh in his heart-I didn't expect the Marshal's fashion sense to be good!
The coat that Meng Jinhuai put on him is simple in style, and the cut is more self-cultivating. After wearing it, Duan Hengye's slender figure is completely revealed. Coupled with his "healing from a serious illness" appearance, it really seems to have a sense of vulnerability that is hard to describe in words.
Just as Duan Hengye looked in the mirror, Meng Jinhuai took out a black coat from the closet. After seeing the opponent's actions, Duan Hengye later realized that Meng Jinhuai had arrived in a hurry, and he had been wearing only a shirt just now.
The clothes prepared in this hotel are all high-set in the interstellar season, and the overall style is more casual. After Meng Jinhuai put on the coat, Duan Hengye suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first time he saw Master Marshal wearing this type of clothes. Can't help but... Duan Hengye secretly took a few more glances at Meng Jinhuai.
The marshal has broad shoulders and long legs, and is a standard clothing rack. When wearing military uniforms before, as long as I didn't laugh, there would be a sense of abstinence. Now when he changed into casual clothes, not only did he not lose his momentum, but he also had a little more refined taste.
At this time, Duan Hengye must admit that Master Marshal has grown completely in his own aesthetic point...
Duan Hengye is a person who is not good at stealing sights. In fact, Meng Jinhuai has already noticed the other side's eyes that are not hidden. He couldn't help but smile when he was adjusting his collar, then walked to Duan Hengye and said, "It's late, let's go out for dinner."
Although he was still taking a peek last second, after hearing the other party's dinner invitation, Duan Hengye finally remembered the business that had been forgotten by him for a while. Although Duan Hengye knew that his undercover agent did not deserve to talk about "trust value". But he still believes that he should refer to the royal family's statement and "explain" the matter of concealing his skills with the Marshal as soon as possible.
"Today's matter..." Duan Hengye hesitated. But before he could say what he had finally made up, Meng Jinhuai shook his head gently and said, "It is a good thing to have the ability to protect ourselves. Although we are legal spouses, we also have the right to have our own privacy. "
Hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help being slightly startled, and then raised his head to look into his eyes-Master Marshal's eyes were full of sincerity. Obviously, he didn't say these words casually.
Duan Hengye thought that perhaps he understood the meaning of Meng Jinhuai's words: before they became the "marshal husband" in the people's mouth, they were first two independent individuals.
Although currently standing on opposite sides with him, Duan Hengye has already felt the personality charm of Meng Jinhuai in the day by day getting along. He wants to be able to go back to the original world someday, so he will definitely vote for the Marshal Lord in the "Dumping Interstellar" character popularity selection.
After finishing his cranky thinking, Duan Hengye suddenly felt that his conscience as an "undercover" was once again heavily condemned.
Professor Duan didn't know. Seeing that he wanted to say something but couldn't say it, standing beside him, Meng Jinhuai couldn't help but cocked his mouth.
I don't know when it was. Meng Jinhuai felt that his spouse began to become "angry" day by day. Especially today, probably because of the critical situation. Although most of the time is still facial paralysis as usual, Duan Hengye's emotions are obviously more exposed.
It stands to reason that Meng Jinhuai can directly arrange for a robot to deliver dinner into the room. But after seeing Duan Hengye shut down the simulator, leaving a room cold and white, he didn't want to do it anymore.
This hotel named "Zhilai" is huge. After walking out, Duan Hengye discovered that the room he lived in was not an imaginary corridor, but a silver indoor square—a space of thousands of square meters. There is nothing bare in it. As a top star luxury hotel, this kind of undecorated look is indeed a bit strange.
Duan Hengye, who just woke up just now, didn't know that he and Meng Jinhuai would have lived in the residence of Chief Tizexing in accordance with imperial practices. But because of this morning's incident, the marshal temporarily changed his residence to this hotel.
After leaving the house, Meng Jinhuai took Duan Hengye to the other end of the square and explained: "The hotel'Zilai' has been around for a few years. When it was just built, Tizexing hadn't fought yet." Duan Hengye was right. Interstellar's history was very interested, and after Meng Jinhuai spoke, he listened carefully.
"For confidentiality, few people know, because of the large scale and the solid structure of the building. This luxury hotel has undergone a series of renovations when Tezestar was in a state of war, and it has been stationed by the military for a long time. So Speaking of the security level, there is no way for the President's residence to compare with here." Meng Jinhuai said as he walked.
Duan Hengye understood that although the large-scale war had faded away, the "VIP zone" he was currently in had not recovered from the wartime state until now. Estimating the floor height here, as a mecha designer, he immediately reacted-the open space he was in at this time should be used for parking mechas.
Just as Duan Hengye was estimating the number of mechas parked in his heart, Meng Jinhuai suddenly slowed down, then slightly lowered his head to look into Duan Hengye's eyes and said: "The VIP area of ​​Zhilai has 270 floors."
"...Okay." Duan Hengye gave up the estimation. As a traveler, he obviously underestimated the meaning of Meng Jinhuai's "large scale". Seeing Duan Hengye's obvious pause, Meng Jinhuai smiled and gently put his hand on his shoulder. "So don't worry, now there are people from the military department everywhere." The Marshal said in a relaxed tone.
According to the rules of the empire, the military department should no longer intervene in the affairs of this place after Tize Star is recovered. But because of that accident within a few hours, Tize Star's forces once again returned to this planet. Duan Hengye thought, perhaps Zhuo Yan is not to blame, who is called Meng Jinhuai is indeed a person who is good at seizing every opportunity.
...
This hotel is the largest one on Ticestar. For the Marshal’s visit today, staff from various media outlets stationed here in advance. After the incident this morning, countless empires and military personnel also rushed over from all corners of the interstellar space by starship. Suddenly, the hotel that was deserted due to high consumption suddenly became extremely lively.
Although the night is getting dark, the Star Age has never been too particular about meals. The restaurant on the top floor of the hotel is just a lively time. Many reporters even took advantage of this opportunity to surround those staff members who had just come out to dine in the conference room, trying to learn the specifics of the incident from their mouths.
These reporters who are working hard to exchange information and want to get gossip don’t know that the protagonist of the incident is slowly walking towards him step by step...
After walking out of the empty "square", Duan Hengye finally saw the lively scene in the restaurant.
This hotel is composed of two high-tower buildings. One high-tower is the VIP area and the other side is the ordinary area. The restaurant is located right in the middle of the two buildings. Although the residence is divided into two districts, Zhilai’s restaurant is indeed interconnected, but there is a special
light wall
between them.
Although this translucent light wall looks ordinary, it can block all quantum and laser weapons. If someone intends to break in, the sensing device will automatically stun the incoming person temporarily. So although there is nothing special about it, no one in the hall dared to approach this side.
Perhaps it is because the front of this translucent light wall is too empty, when someone appears on the other side, people here can see clearly...
This restaurant was full of people, and reporters were standing all over the floor chatting and exchanging information. I don't know who exclaimed first, and then everyone looked at the light wall.
I saw a light blue light curtain in the distance, and two men familiar to all reporters were walking toward the other end of the restaurant from behind the light curtain. One of them was wearing a beige trench coat. Although he looked weak, his overall condition had obviously recovered a lot. As for the man next to him...When everyone finally turned their attention away from the white-clothed man, they realized that the man in the black casual coat next to him was Master Marshal!
In an instant, the originally noisy hall immediately became quiet.
No matter who it is, it will be shocked to see the object that he was still discussing and guessing suddenly appear in front of his eyes, let alone Meng Jinhuai who suddenly appeared here!
As a military officer with few personal trips. Officer, it is not an exaggeration to call Master Marshal the most difficult celebrity to meet in StarCraft. And even during working hours, only a few fixed media interviews are arranged for some activities of the military. Therefore, for most reporters, seeing Meng Jinhuai with his own eyes means he has completed most of his career. Not to mention... Now he is obviously in a non-working state, with Duan Hengye standing beside him!
Not long ago, the media had just received a message from the military, stating that Duan Hengye is now awake and there is no major physical problem. However, because this is only a text statement, Duan Hengye himself did not show up, so with his excellent spirit of questioning, many people are guessing whether the news is true or false.
It is not an exaggeration to say that many reporters gathered in the restaurant are here to verify this news.
The sudden appearance of Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai at this moment even caused some reporters to doubt whether they had hallucinations due to fatigue.
Seeing that the two were about to walk to the other side of the hall, finally the bold and responsive reporter took out the camera he was carrying with him. He was located very close to the light curtain, and of course Meng Jinhuai also noticed the reporter's actions. Somewhat surprisingly, Lord Marshal did not refuse to shoot, even he stopped and turned and beckoned slightly towards the hall. After seeing Meng Jinhuai's movements, Duan Hengye also habitually stopped.
Unlike Duan Hengye, who has slept for a long time, Meng Jinhuai has been following the public opinion trends on the Star Network today. He knows what the reporters are thinking now, so after noticing Duan Hengye's stopped footsteps, Meng Jinhuai gently leaned over and whispered in the ear of the other party: "The reporters just received the news that you woke up."
It seemed that he didn't expect Meng Jinhuai to approach suddenly. After feeling the warm breath from the top of his neck, Duan Hengye's fingers shook slightly on his side.
"Yeah" Duan Hengye turned around pretending to be unconscious, and then nodded to the reporters ahead.
Although Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai didn't stop here for too long, the footage in just a few seconds was enough for the reporters. It wasn't until the two of them disappeared at the other end of the restaurant after they said hello, that the reporter who took out the camera at the right time finally remembered to turn off the machine.
Only a few minutes later, the edited picture was uploaded to Starnet. And the scene where the Marshal turned his head and talked in Duan Hengye's ear was even more recirculated by countless people to the next day...
Zhilai’s VIP restaurant needs to take a levitator to enter from the lower level. After slowly passing through the silver-white ceiling above his head, Duan Hengye discovered that this box turned out to be completely transparent on all sides. Unlike the fake interstellar scene made with the simulator just now, there is indeed a real galaxy outside the restaurant through the transparent wall.
Although Duan Hengye had just seen an incomparably gorgeous galaxy on the way to choose the stars, it did not prevent him from being attracted by the beautiful scenery outside the window at this moment.
Dinner was already prepared. After the two of them sat down, the robots here brought up the dishes one by one. While the robot is setting up the dining table, Duan Hengye admires the beautiful scenery outside the window, while Meng Jinhuai is watching the person sitting opposite.
This time Meng Jinhuai did not hide his eyes, but after a while, Hengye found that the other party was looking at him.
The atmosphere became a little embarrassing for a while, perhaps Meng Jinhuai also felt this, and he finally broke the silence, "Your Majesty, I didn't know the matter of selecting stars in advance."
Hearing the words "Your Majesty", Duan Hengye immediately became focused. He never forgot that he was an undercover agent sent by the other party... Today, Zhuo Yan suddenly appeared, coupled with a lot of inexplicable words, and now Duan Hengye couldn't help but become nervous when he heard the other party's name.
After saying the last sentence, Meng Jinhuai did not continue, but raised his head slightly and glanced at Duan Hengye and then asked, "A Heng knows why he came here?"
After Meng Jinhuai finished the question, Duan Hengye's mind immediately flashed rows of bright red exclamation marks-all of the above came from the instinct of "undercover".
Thanks to the time spent with Meng Jinhuai, Duan Hengye's psychological quality and acting skills have been greatly improved. After hearing the other party’s question, although he was a little nervous, he finally shook his head as if it didn’t matter to him, "...I don’t know, he didn’t tell me very important things."
"Yeah" Meng Jinhuai nodded and said: "Your Majesty Tizexing didn't alarm anyone. I didn't receive the news until he arrived at Zhilai."
Although Zhuo Yan was obviously interested in himself, Duan Hengye was not a narcissistic person after all. He knew very well that as the emperor of the Yetian Empire, Zhuo Yan would never leave Capital Star rashly if there was nothing major. Since he personally came to Tichostar where the situation is still unstable, he definitely has something to do.
Just as Duan Hengye was thinking about what Zhuo Yan was going to do here, Meng Jinhuai, who was sitting opposite, suddenly took out Guangnao. Although Guang Brain has excellent entertainment functions, in Duan Hengye's impression, Master Marshal has always used it for work.
As a professional undercover undercover, Duan Hengye lowered his head very tacitly, preparing to pretend not to be interested in his work. But what I didn't expect was that Meng Jinhuai suddenly opened the light screen in front of him, "Your Majesty is finally willing to announce his intentions." The Marshal looked at the light screen and said.
Hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but raised his head and looked at Guangping.
The location where the video was shot was probably the study room of a certain suite. Zhuo Yanduan was sitting behind the desk, and the attendant who was in charge of the message was standing by his side this morning.
"Look behind him." Meng Jinhuai suddenly prompted.
After the voice fell, Duan Hengye couldn't help looking at the French window behind Zhuo Yan. I saw that just outside the window, a bright tower-shaped building completely snatched the limelight from the sky. At this time Zhuo Yan is also in Zhilai's VIP area! The building behind him is another building of the hotel. This is very obvious, and the reporters who are watching the live broadcast will find out if they pay attention...
In the light screen, the attendant was solemnly announcing the news that Zhuo Yan had arrived at Tizexing one hour ago.
... If Duan Hengye remembers correctly, the Yetian Empire's imperial family has not officially announced the emperor's itinerary for many years. Not to mention that this time Zhuo Yan still reached a planet that was still in a dangerous state in such a special time.
Duan Hengye's intuition told him that what the royal family is about to announce should be something that has never been said in the book, completely out of his own foresight.
Few people like the unknown, especially when these two words are closely tied to their own destiny.
In a short period of time, Duan Hengye quickly went through what happened during this time in his mind.
Although it is an important male protagonist, "Dumping Interstellar" is after all a novel about the life of the heroine, and many incidents about Meng Jinhuai are just a brief mention. But just in those casual sentences, there are descriptions of the Marshal being assassinated more than once.
Duan Hengye thought that in the original book, Meng Jinhuai and the original owner probably also encountered similar incidents at Tizexing. It is conceivable that according to the personality of the original owner, he will definitely choose to find a safe place to watch this matter coldly, or just do a simple defense. If he did not work with Meng Jinhuai to deal with the killer, the public's prestige would naturally not increase, and the royal family would not make crazy suggestions to "replace it".
Although the spokesperson has not revealed the royal family's purpose at this time, Duan Hengye has been able to confirm that the serious deviation of this plot definitely has its own credit...I don't know whether it should be crying or laughing now.
Everyone can see that Zhuo Yan's arrival is very purposeful, and the attendant does not mean to sell it. During this brief pause, Duan Hengye's palm could not help but a thin layer of cold sweat. Finally, the man in the light screen looked at the lens, and then slowly said their final intention: "...Since the incident this morning, the royal family has been paying attention to the progress of the investigation..."
Duan Hengye stared at the light screen closely, the man in the picture slowly raised his head, and then told the camera the royal family's intentions-due to the major incident involved, the royal family of the Yetian Empire will also send someone from today Join the investigation team.
Is this the former royal family who had no sense of existence and cared nothing about the status quo and future of the empire?
Presumably, as long as they are citizens of the Yetian Empire, even people who have no knowledge of the situation in the empire can see that the royal family's statement today is of great significance.
After years of silence and wait and see, the royal family finally sent an important signal to the outside world: they are different from the past; they are no longer satisfied with the past; they want to return to the true throne of the empire.
Duan Hengye didn't know what others would think of the royal family's speech. When the attendant was speaking, he couldn't help looking away from the light screen. Meng Jinhuai should be the person who should pay the most attention to this matter, but his expression is very relaxed, he doesn't even know when he picked up the wine glass in front of him.
Perhaps this incident itself was in Meng Jinhuai's expectations? Thinking of this possibility, Duan Hengye could not help but heaved a sigh of relief.
...
Although a return signal was sent to the outside world, the "cold" side of the royal family remained unchanged. This video announcement was very brief. It ended after a brief explanation of the royal family's purpose. Zhuo Yan didn't say a word from beginning to end.
Seeing that the picture disappeared and suddenly returned to a dark blue light screen, Duan Hengye hadn't reacted yet.
Meng Jinhuai faintly glanced at the light screen, then put down the wine glass, "Quickly eat, rest early today." He said as if nothing had happened.
Although there are few daily conversations, this video today completely stimulated Duan Hengye's desire for discussion. But seeing that Meng Jinhuai stopped talking about this topic, in order to avoid arousing suspicion from the other party, he still swallowed his words back.
But at the moment Duan Hengye picked up his chopsticks again, Meng Jinhuai suddenly raised his head and said, "Right, I almost forgot an important thing."
Important matter?
Duan Hengye couldn't help but sit up straight and look at the other party. Meng Jinhuai smiled and said to him: "The Academy of Sciences under the Military Ministry has developed a new type of life detection device some time ago. Although it is still in an experimental state, its performance is already very good. stable."
New life detection device... After hearing these words, Duan Hengye couldn't help but his eyes widened. What Meng Jinhuai said should be...not the kind of instrument he imagined, right?
"This device is a great improvement over the previous generation, but the inspection time and the waiting time for the results are longer. There happened to be one on the military starship, so this morning when you were unconscious, the accompanying doctor used it to make it for you. A comprehensive physical examination. The result...It is estimated that it will be out in a while." Looking at the other party's apparent nervousness, Meng Jinhuai finally said this sentence of judgment in a state of small talk.
