Canglan's front line has been victorious. Military God Su Yehongtu will visit the Capital Star Circle next month to celebrate the whole country.

This is something everyone in the Federation knows, and in the eyes of the people at the bottom, it is also a matter of course and honor.

But the so-called butt determines the head, the position determines the stance, and the height determines the vision. Things that seem to be taken for granted by the public are not so easy to interpret in the eyes of the thoughtful people at the top of the federation.

Who is Su Yehongtu? The former prince of the empire, the commander of the imperial guard, and the military god who now controls the Blackstone Star Region.

Although Suye Hongtu defected to the Federation in the Silver Cross War, the Blackstone Sector was nominally under the rule of the Federation, but in fact, the Federation had very little control over the Blackstone Sector, and even taxes were symbolic.

Not to mention military power. So in a sense, this military god who is respected by thousands of people is the earth emperor entrenched in the Blackstone Star Region, only a generation of princes who sealed the territory and split the land.

This kind of character is something that the ruling class is extremely afraid of regardless of ancient or modern times, because there is no very effective way to control him, especially in the previous situation where the master was weak and the servant was strong, and he had to be prepared for the opponent's backlash at all times.

How could such a person leave his own territory at will? Without the army and territory, he is like a tiger with its teeth and claws pulled out, and its deterrence plummets.

However, at this moment, the military god came to the capital star circle on his own without any signal or coercion from the federation. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a tiger pulling out its own teeth and claws, and then taking the initiative to

Sent to a cage.

In the ancient times of the earth, this was an opportunity that many monarchs dreamed of, because as long as they captured or even killed him, it would be easier to recruit and manage without the leader.

However, in comparison, the situation between the Federation and Blackstone is relatively complicated. Most of the Blackstone sector belongs to the Empire under the rule of Suye Hongtu. Behind the Canglan Line, there is an empire that has just been defeated and has evil intentions. If you rashly confront them at this moment,

If Su Yehongtu takes action, it is likely to trigger a series of chain turmoil effects.

However, even so, it still cannot be Su Yehongtu's talisman, so many people can't figure out why Suye Hongtu came to the capital star circle. Is it just to show off his illustrious military exploits and declare his military power to the people of the Federation?

Elizabeth has looked at history for more than fifty years, and based on her understanding of Su Ye's ambitions, she is definitely not such a boastful and vain person. Otherwise, he would never be able to be the commander of the royal guard. After openly treason, he could still stay in Black Rock for more than thirty years.

Standing in an invincible position.

So what is the purpose of this military god coming here this time?

She didn't know what she was thinking of, but Elizabeth's brows suddenly knitted together, revealing a solemn expression.

"Inform Nightingale to comprehensively strengthen monitoring of the movements of important officials in the capital star circle, and report to me once a day." Eliza put down the red clay tea cup, took a deep breath, and ordered.

At this time, she thought of Xia Jingming again. There was no one who stood at a high enough level to talk about the matter, which greatly weakened her authority.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Secretary Yan was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by Elizabeth, "Add Shi Chen to the list."

Although Secretary Yan was a little confused as to why Elizabeth would include an insignificant person like Shi Chen on the watch list, these things were not what she should ask.

As a secretary, the biggest function is to understand and execute the orders of the superior.

Elizabeth waved her hand and said, "Go ahead, I'm a little tired."

She slowly stood up and glanced at the still quiet vestibule. She knew that her daughter probably didn't plan to come back tonight. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.

Shi Chen's actions today gave her a deeper understanding of him. This sharp blade sharpened by Alsalia is not so easy to control. If you don't check it for a moment, it will be easy to cut your hand.

For example, this public announcement event.

After losing Xia Jingming, she was in desperate need of replenishing strength. However, she deeply understood that Shi Chen, with his strong and impulsive personality, was definitely not suitable to be trained into a general like Xia Jingming. He could only do one thing.

A dagger, at least, for now.

"I hope you won't let me down again." Elizabeth said in her heart.

Although the sword is easy to use, if the sword is too sharp or too heavy, it will come out with one swing, killing people all over the world in a bloody mess. Such a sword will probably be either shelved in a high cabinet or broken and sunk.

Sha's fate was based on the relationship between Shi Chen and her two daughters. She didn't want Shi Chen to fall into the latter category.

Shi Chen didn't know that the most powerful woman in the entire federation was secretly watching him. Ever since the announcement of the incident in Lensa Square, he had been very peaceful and returned to his usual peaceful life. He sent Qian Lin to school in the morning, and then

Going to Wolchi for class, the only thing

The biggest difference is that due to the stranding of the biological mecha project, Azurite Bio was forced to transform into other products under pressure. Although profits can be maintained with the help of Lidya, if you want to pay back the terrifying price of American Express

Arrears are wishful thinking.

Fortunately, Flandre actually fulfilled her promise. No one came to collect the money, no biomechanical technology, and no apparent interference and revenge from Puko. He was naturally freed from the complicated official affairs, so

He only went to the blue crystal creature every few days, and for this reason, he found that Lidia looked at him a little strangely, but since the other party didn't mention it, he naturally had no interest in asking.

After Lunsa announced the accident, all of Lan Jing's information and equipment on biological mechas and even the semi-finished mecha itself were returned to the Affiliated Scientific Research Institute of the First Military Region and sealed. Even the relevant technical employees were in the government.

Relevant agreements were signed at Ax's request, and two supervisors were even invited to work at the Military Research Institute.

Although the announcement of the accident was still mentioned from time to time recently, it was gradually diluted by the upcoming arrival of the military god. Life on campus is still calm and leisurely. Occasionally, I get together for a while with my comrades on Sudake Star, such as Shiro Shangma Gomyo, but Shi Chen

His appearance and battle in Lensa Square raised his profile to a higher level again. If it hadn't been for that accident, I'm afraid many girls would have asked him for autographs, which caused a lot of wolves around him.

People are envious, jealous and hateful, wishing they could not replace him.

Ever since that night, when he learned from Isa that a woman who abandoned her husband and son was likely to be messing around in the empire's territory, Shi Chen's mood became much brighter. If there weren't still some unresolved matters, if

If he hadn't known that Su Yehongtu was about to come to the capital star circle, he might have been unable to suppress some kind of longing in his heart and went to the empire to look for her.

Time passed slowly in this atmosphere, the weather began to get warmer, and the silver flowers on campus began to wither and grow new branches.

On this day, Shi Chen's always cheerful and joyful mood suddenly dropped a lot, because today was the day when Xia Li's flight arrived in the capital.

This time he didn't choose to take Lydia's ride. He couldn't afford a car even though he was in debt, so he had to buy a bouquet of carnations at a flower shop and then took a taxi.

Unfortunately, the weather was not kind. Not long after arriving at the airport, it began to drizzle again. Fortunately, there were free umbrellas available at the airport.

Shi Chen held a black umbrella and a bouquet of brightly colored carnations, preparing to enter the waiting area. However, he found that the waiting area was already overcrowded today.

They all wore work badges and cameras. They should be major media workers in the capital circle. They learned about Xia Li's itinerary from somewhere and obtained first-hand news information.

After all, this is the orphaned daughter left by the chief of staff of the federal military. Because her daughter went to the Canglan front line to work as a war reporter, she was not able to see her father for the last time. Xia Li, the only relative, was not around. After consultation, the military

Xia Jingming's body was sent to the military auditorium where Xia Jingming was kept in an ice coffin, waiting for Xia Li's return before being buried. There is no doubt that this is excellent news material, and both the official and the private sector will support it.

However, Shi Chen wanted to get rid of all these media at this moment. According to his original idea, he wanted the poor girl to see him as soon as possible after her sad and empty journey.

Taitan's old friends from high school allowed her to gain spiritual comfort in her grief.

Unfortunately, things went against expectations, Xia Jingming was posthumously named a martyr, and the military also sent people to greet Xia Li.

He couldn't get into the terminal, so he had to wait silently in the rain. Shi Chen's face showed no emotion, he just waited quietly for the girl's return.

I don’t know how long I waited, but suddenly there was a low roar in the sky, and I saw the transfer cabins breaking through the dark clouds and rain curtains in the sky, and slowly landing in the airport.

Shi Chen's heart moved slightly as the flash lights in the crowded terminal in the distance lit up. Then, under the escort of special personnel from the military department, Xia Li walked out of the terminal.

After not seeing each other for several months, her face was noticeably thinner and paler, but she still had a calm and strong smile on her face. She shook hands with the officers who came to pick her up at the airport, thanked her, and whispered something. The officers looked at each other,

Then he nodded and left.

It seemed that Xia Li declined their invitation. As soon as the officer left, reporters immediately gathered around, handed over the microphone, and asked questions loudly. Xia Li shook her head slightly, and did not answer any questions, but used her

Her composure and strength perfectly displayed the image of a general's daughter.

Shi Chen looked at the girl in the middle of the stone steps quietly across the crowd. It had been a long time since he had looked at her from such a distance. Before, he had only looked at her from a distance away from a dining table. This was the last time he looked at her from such a distance.

It was when she left Titan with her father Xia Jingming. At that time, looking at her from this distance, she seemed as far away as a galaxy.

He once thought that the farewell to Titan was an eternal farewell, but the circumstances afterwards allowed him to enter the capital star circle that was previously inaccessible in just over a year. However, because of his disguise and numerous ulterior reasons, even if

After meeting each other at the Moon Pond, and later getting along, there always seemed to be a distant distance between the two, and they would never be able to return to the original distance.

But now, looking at her across the crowd, almost that distance has shrunk infinitely as she rode the starship and traveled through tens of thousands of light-years of starry sky.

Maybe it’s because she has experienced the sadness of losing a loved one, maybe it’s the temper of the war on the front line, maybe it’s just Shi Chen’s illusion, Xia Li seems to have become a lot more mature, and this maturity does not mean that she was a girl in the dangerous environment of the Canglan front line.

There are some indelible marks left on her face. She is still young and beautiful, but her temperament has a little more indescribable perseverance.

I don’t know how many things happened around her in the past six months. In short, at this moment, the girl who was almost molested on the bus did not dare to speak out and resist, and the girl who was like the girl next door who followed her quietly, but...

The weak girl who blushed and stubbornly asked him for crepes when they met for the first time finally grew up.

At this moment, Shi Chen saw Xia Li raise her head in the flashlight, her steady and strong eyes became a little wandering, as if she was trying to find something in the crowd, and then those eyes fell on his face.

Across the noisy voices of reporters asking questions, and across the distance between the crowd and the rain, Shi Chen and Xia Li's eyes touched each other. At this moment, any existence other than them seemed to no longer exist.

So all the calmness and perseverance disguised on the surface all collapsed at this moment, confusion and sadness flashed in his eyes, and the emotions that had been accumulated for several months finally turned into crystal tears and fell out.

Shi Chen quietly watched her cry in the crowd, and his heart, which he thought would be calm after a month of baptism, was stinging again.

The reporters who had been pestering and asking questions loudly fell silent after seeing Xia Li's emotional breakdown and unable to stop crying.

Only then did they think of the girl in front of them. However, they had lost their only relative and only support some time ago. At this moment, they are constantly entangled with work and performance. Isn't it a bit too much?

With this consensus, they finally made way silently,

"Miss Xia Li, I'm sorry to bother you today, could you please make an appointment for an exclusive interview with our column?" A female reporter asked weakly.

"Thank you, I'm sorry." Xia Li squeezed out a smile, but did not look at the reporter. After her eyes fell on that person's eyes, she could no longer move away. Then he saw the boy looking at her.

He squeezed out an encouraging smile and then opened his hands.

Then, under the stunned eyes of the reporters, he threw away the umbrella and suitcase in his hand, rushed through the blocking crowd, rushed down the stone steps, broke through the distance between the rain, and rushed into the arms of a man.

After the rain-soaked body was wrapped in a warm embrace, it seemed that all the grievances and sorrows suppressed in the heart had turned into tears and crying like the melting ice and snow in early spring.

Seeing the men and women hugging each other tightly in the rain, the reporters who couldn't finish their work somehow breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, she still has a considerate boyfriend." A female reporter murmured with red eyes.

Guan Xiwen, who was ignored by others in the crowd, was listening to the female reporter's remarks when he took the scene with his own camera. He instinctively wanted to use that crow's mouth to expose to everyone the multiple scandals that Shi Chen, a hypocritical beast, had with other women.

, but seeing Xia Li crying non-stop, she wisely chose to shut up.
