Chapter 91 Little Star (3)

"There is no special reason. It's just that I don't think there will be a more suitable time to take such a trip."

In the command room of the Yin Beidou armed starship, Xie Yuduo smiled and stroked his hair.

The contactor dedicated to interstellar long-distance communication flashed a small green light beside him, casting a little light in the corner of his eye, like a firefly.

"That day, little lord, you opened the crown of Jin Xiao, and the fortress analyzed the video of the mecha and some built-in data, and got a lot of things."

"Including His Highness's route, the images of fighting with the violent alien creatures along the way, and even some methods of passing through the dangerous universe... These materials are too precious to support a new expedition."

"In those days, His Royal Highness Le'an stubbornly went to the crystal nest. I don't believe it for no reason. There must be something in the crystal nest. What's more, Yin Beidou is a silver spear pointing to a distant star, and the first fortress is the tip of the spear and is the highest point in the human territory. Frontline. That's our mission."

Xie Yuduo cast his eyes out of the porthole of the starship. He sighed while holding his forehead, his eyes dimmed by three points, "...But."

"Now that the supporters of the shrinking faction are growing stronger and stronger, and the 'Lava' pirate group is getting stronger again, the possibility of Yin Beidou sending troops to expedition again will only become less and less likely. This may be the last chance... The last."

In Prime Minister Lauren's mansion, the wind blew through a corner of the dark and quiet corridor.

Jiang Jianming was completely stunned, his throat seemed to be blocked by blood, unable to speak or think.

——So the major general chose to send troops to expedition directly from the first fortress, and then sent the news back to the empire after the starship set off.

Let him see such a video that looks like a last word.

"Think about it, alien creatures are rampant, and there are the second and third fortresses to clear up; the thieves are coming, and the golden sun wheel is guarding the empire."

On the other side of the projection, Xie Yuduo was still laughing at himself: "But when it comes to exploring the distant stars and exploring the crystal nest... If the first fortress does not move, no one in the empire will want to go."

Having said that, he quickly waved his hand: "Oh, of course, of course, you are also willing, my Excellency, I know."

Jiang Jianming couldn't smile. The fireworks in the distance stopped, and the depths of his pupils were pitch black.

"I'm not going to take a lot of risks, and I'm not going to go deep into the innermost part of the crystal nest. No matter whether I get useful information or not, I will withdraw when I judge that the resistance is too great to keep the loss within an acceptable range. within."

Xie Yuduo continued, "But the situation in the distant interstellar space is changing rapidly, and no one can tell what will happen. I just thought, at least I have to tell you before I leave..."

"..."

Jiang Jianming sighed silently, and the temperature in his body seemed to be pulled away.

He stood alone in the corridor and listened to Xie Yuduo's babble. There was no joy or sorrow on his face. He only felt that there was something very heavy on his heart, and he couldn't breathe.

Jiang Jianming clearly understands that if Xie Yuduo made a mistake in dispatching troops like this, and if the Major General eventually died worthless in the universe, what went wrong in the first fortress...

That person "Xie Yuduo" will become the sinner of the empire.

It is to be engraved in history, and the name of the sinner whose body has been whipped over and over again.

And the major general himself must have known the benefits, even so, he still made this decision with consciousness.

"If it happens, I can't come back." Xie Yuduo said lightly, "I also hope that you and His Royal Highness can come to the fortress, my mecha, weapons and equipment are barely worth a little bit, they are worth a good Owner."

At this point, the video has almost played to the end. In the picture, Xie Yuduo stretched out his hand as if to cut off the video, but his expression showed a hint of hesitation.

He shyly withdrew his hand and said, there is a private matter.

"Actually...cough, I have a daughter."

Xie Yuduo bowed his head and smiled, "I don't know if your little lord has seen it before. Her name is Emilia, and she looks very cute."

Jiang Jianming had never seen a major general show this kind of demeanor, this kind of demeanor... that belonged to the most ordinary young father.

"If I really die in Xinghai, my wife will not necessarily let the children know. But if one day, Emilia will cry for me, and ask your little lord to comfort me, just say..."

Xie Yuduo frowned for a while, then whispered softly and sadly, "Just say, your father has become a little star."

The video ended, the projection went black, and the major general's face disappeared.

Jiang Jianming still kept his original posture and stood there for a long time, as if he was standing like a lonely statue.

He just raised his eyes like a lost soul, and cast his eyes to the night sky in the distance.

Even if you know clearly in your heart, the night sky of Aslan Star City can't see Alpha Alien, nor can you see the farther distant stars.

A sense of exhaustion swept through his limbs. Jiang Jianming leaned weakly against the pillar behind him, raised his wrist and covered his eyes.

How did things get into such a mess?

The truth of Ryan's death is still at a loss, and Garcia still refuses to accept the crown prince status because of an unknown obsession.

The traitors lurking in the empire cannot be identified, the mysterious forces behind the thieves have no clue, the missing real crystal ore cannot be found, and the motion about the crystalless race has been rejected...

He vomited blood every once in a while and then had a fever, and he didn't know how long this broken body would last. Now even Major General Xie went to the crystal nest.

Not to mention whether it can bring back useful information, it is still unknown whether it will be able to come back alive.

He has tried his best to move forward, but God is not merciful, and it seems that nothing is going well.

Jiang Jianming closed his eyes and smiled bitterly, wondering if this day can really go on?

Why not just come and give him a bullet.

As a result, the next moment, he suddenly heard the sound of quietly approaching footsteps.

Jiang Jianming turned his head abruptly and opened his eyes...

I saw the dark muzzle facing him.

"Bang~!"

A tender and sweet voice broke the silence of the corridor.

A beautiful little girl of eight or nine years old was standing outside the railing in the corridor. She was wearing a gorgeous royal blue dress, but with a small pistol in both hands, she made the onomatopoeia of shooting in a mischievous tone.

Jiang Jianming turned around and looked over, she hid the gun behind her back, blinked her pure eyes like black grapes, and stuck out her tongue playfully: "Hee hee."

Jiang Jianming frowned and recognized the girl. At the beginning of the banquet, she was held in the hands of Mrs. Donna and held in the arms of Prime Minister Lauren.

"...Amelia?"

Unexpectedly, the girl raised her delicate eyebrows and puffed up her chest angrily: "My name is not Emilia Von Seekert, my name is Xie Yinxing!"

"My father is Xie Yuduo. He is the general of Yin Beidou and the hero who protects the empire!"

Xie Yinxing raised his head, his eyes sparkling: "Big brother, someone said that you are also an officer in the Yinbeidou army, is that true? Have you met my father?"

"...Of course." Jiang Jianming fixedly looked at the little girl in front of him, "He is the general who leads us."

This is Major General Xie's daughter, he thought to himself. This innocent and lovely girl does not know that her father is now running to the other side of the sea of ​​stars, and she does not know how dangerous this expedition is. Like most of the people living comfortably in this empire, they have nothing to do with the crisis in the distance. Know.

Xie Yinxing, regardless of her fluffy dress, raised her calf crookedly and deftly climbed over the guardrail of the corridor.

She jumped to Jiang Jianming's side, like a lively elf: "Big brother, can you tell me about your father?"

"Just like... What does Dad usually do in the fortress? What's the life like in the Yinbeidou Fortress? By the way, big brother, have you ever been on the battlefield? Have you ever fought alien creatures and thieves?"

Xie Yinxing asked a series of questions, her eyes were bright with yearning, and she pouted: "I rarely meet Yin Beidou people outside. At home, my mother doesn't allow me to ask about my father, nor do I Learn from Dad."

"It's clear that she can't help but talk about her father... and then she gets sullen."

Jiang Jianming was silent. Perhaps Mrs. Donna's feelings for Major General Xie were also very complicated.

He turned his eyes to Xie Yinxing's hand: "You took it..."

Xie Yinxing quickly took two steps back, holding the small pistol and staring: "It's mine."

She raised the gun to Jiang Jianming, licked her lips, and squinted her eyes to aim, "Xingxing will also go to Yin Beidou in the future, and go to the battlefield with Dad!"

Jiang Jianming frowned and was about to speak.

Suddenly, Xie Yinxing changed color and shouted.

"what!"

A cluster of palm-sized red gold crystals pierced out of midair and hit the pistol with a clang.

Xie Yinxing couldn't bear so much power, the gun flew out of her hand and crossed an arc.

"Your Highness?" Jiang Jianming turned around in surprise.

At the other end of the corridor, a slender figure appeared. The pistol landed in Garcia's outstretched palm, and his other hand was holding an apple that had been bitten twice.

His Royal Highness looked at him coldly, and the platinum curly hair hanging down to the back glowed under the moon.

Xie Yinxing took a step back in fright, but quickly glared at him: "Give it back to me! It's mine!"

Jiang Jianming quickly stopped the little girl who was about to rush up, and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

Garcia came over and shoved the apple into Jiang Jianming's hands casually: "You've timed out."

In the second he passed by, the prince suddenly pressed his shoulders and used his five fingers hard.

Garcia lowered his head to cover his cold eyes, and his lips were close to Jiang Jianming's ear and said in a low voice, "This girl is playing with a real gun."

Jiang Jianming's temples jumped slightly.

Garcia's soft curly hair swept across his cheeks and earlobes, and the fingers on his shoulders tightened angrily: "At this distance, as long as she pulls the trigger, you will be shot. Jiang Jianming, how's your vigilance?"

Jiang Jianming took a deep breath silently, and it was only then that he got rid of the confused state after receiving the communication from Xie Yuduo.

He patted Garcia's palm and said softly, "This is Major General Xie's daughter."

"..."

Garcia glanced at Xie Yinxing again, but the coldness between her brows did not disappear, "It doesn't matter who she is, I'm talking about your problem."

After that, he turned to Xie Yinxing, who was staring at him angrily, and shook the gun in his hand: "Where did you get it?"
