...he is being spoiled by Garcia.

The next day, Jiang Jianming sank into a ball of soft quilt and opened his eyes, and saw in a daze that the time displayed inside the treatment cabin had already reached noon.

So he thought so from the bottom of his heart.

"There is no fever this time." Garcia opened the cockpit cover, and pointed to touch Jiang Jianming's forehead with the back of his finger, "There is progress."

As he spoke, His Highness passed Jiang Jianming's arm through the back of his neck, hugged his shoulders and slowly hugged his upper body, and lowered his voice, "Get up and eat something before going to sleep."

Jiang Jianming leaned lazily on the prince's shoulder: "In the past, I would not be disturbed by the fatigue of the day before yesterday."

His eyelashes were drooping, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Fever won't affect my training, I'll be tired but not sleepy, and I won't be too lazy to lift my hands like now."

Garcia paused: "You mean, you want me to feed you?"

Jiang Jianming: "...Did you only hear the last sentence?"

Of course, jokes are jokes.

If you want to stay in the distant interstellar world, it is absolutely impossible to be "spoiled" to the point where you can't carry it on your shoulders or hands.

Jiang Jianming himself knew it well, he got up to wash and eat after he woke up a little.

Since he followed Garcia, the two have become "wild" together, and there is no daily training that must be attended.

He sent the worn clothes to be changed and washed, ignored the officers and soldiers who were talking about him along the way, and sent the mech for routine maintenance.

Hand in the collected true crystal mines, record meritorious deeds, and supplement the new crystal bullets and crystal particle tranquilizers of Venus Wings.

After Jiang Jianming finishes all this, he will be very free in the afternoon.

He sat at the desk and called Xie Yuduo.

Jiang Jianming propped his forehead with a smile: "Major General, are you free? I want to talk about the message left inside the Crown of Dawn."

The projection side is still Xie Yuduo's office.

The major general, who was slumped on the table, sat up immediately, refreshed: "What did you think of?"

"No, it's just that I tried to deduce the meaning of a few images during this time. It may take up a little bit of your time, and you can see when you are free..."

Xie Yuduo hurriedly said: "Now, right now."

"That's good." Jiang Jianming nodded, he opened the notebook at hand, and picked up another pen.

——There are very few people who like paper writing in this era, and he is one of them.

There are still those four lines in the book: "Please ignite the withered years, pass through the lingering fires of the old civilization and the cold stars, and wake up in my arms before the dawn of mankind."

It's just that there are more sketches and annotations by many writers.

"That's right, there's something weird about these few words."

Jiang Jianming poked his own handwriting twice with the tip of his pen, pursed his lips and considered the words: "It has been read for a long time, and it will make me feel a sense of time and space disorder."

"First of all, the word old civilization."

"If it is based on our current time, it can have two directions. One is the human civilization in the old blue mother star era before the black wave radiation erupted."

"Furthermore, it is the period from the eruption of the black wave radiation to the collapse of the old empire."

"I personally prefer the latter. At the end of the Blue Mother Planet era, the old humans lived a prosperous and peaceful life, pursuing civilization and progress. The impression is a bit different from the "withered years" in the previous sentence."

Xie Yuduo frowned, and said in shock, "Your Excellency, do you think that 'withered years' and 'old civilization' refer to the era of madness and chaos before the establishment of the new empire?"

"It's just a guess."

Jiang Jianming looked at these words and pondered for a moment, and then said again: "Because the sentence 'ignite the withered years', from my intuitive impression, seems to refer to the founding war."

"I remember reading this sentence when I was in the military academy: 'The Emperor's starship cavalry started from a tiny moment, and quickly burned through the three galaxies like a raging fire, burning up the chaotic and disorderly era'... withThe use of the idea of lighting a fire to refer to the founding war is really common."

"Continue to read, Wanli Hanxing should refer to the universe. Human beings are a big word. Before dawn, it can be said to be the darkest and most painful moment of the night, but it can also be said to be the most hopeful moment."

"Speaking of which, don't you find it strange?"

Suddenly, Jiang Jianming raised his head, and there seemed to be some sharp light in his clear eyes, "Looking at the first three sentences, major general, did you think of anyone?"

Xie Yuduo didn't think about it for a moment.

Jiang Jianming said lightly: "Born in the dark and withered years, the flames were ignited from the blue mother star, the old civilization was ended with the founding war, and the holy campaign was launched to expedition to the cold star, bringing a dawn to mankind."

Xie Yuduo's face changed suddenly.

He was stunned for four or five seconds, hesitant to speak several times, and finally slipped out a title: "... Great Emperor?"

Great Emperor.

For the people of the empire, this title has a special meaning.

Emperors can be changed from generation to generation, but there will be only one great emperor, and that is the founding king of the new human interstellar empire.

Jiang Jianming was silent for a moment, "Major General, how much do you know about that...Her Majesty Empress Dowager Sylph?"

Assuming that the answer to the riddle is really related to history and the founding king, then whoever can say the words "my love" to the emperor...

Naturally, it should be the emperor's beloved wife, the extremely mysterious Empress Dowager who has lived in the Emerald Palace for decades since the emperor died.

"Wait, wait first."

Xie Yuduo managed to recover from the reasoning of the "Great Emperor", and quickly took a sip of tea to suppress his shock, "Your Excellency, but these words, didn't His Royal Highness Lai An leave you—"

"No, Major General, I doubt it very much."

Jiang Jianming shook his head, and he frowned: "Is this letter really written by 'Lai An' to 'me'?... Objectively speaking, there should be no other possibility, but..."

But emotionally, he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

The message remained in the cockpit of Crown of Dawn, and only Jiang Jianming, who was carrying Seth Henry, could open the cockpit.

This also means that the person who left this message firmly believes that he will come to the far interstellar space, and firmly believes that he will work hard in Yin Beidou, and finally successfully come into contact with this unusual mech.

I am even more convinced that he will open the mech, crack the code, read such an unclear but heavy enough message, and try to find out the meaning.

There is a doubt here.

Just like Garcia now, Lai An had always been a bit overprotective towards him before, and Jiang Jianming knew it.

The crown prince three years ago would rather be "disconnected" than reveal the truth to his lover.

Can Lai An really imagine that Jiang Jianming would not give up to this extent, and personally go to the distant interstellar to collect his body?

"……No."

Jiang Jianming shook his head, he told Xie Yuduo his opinion, and then said in a low voice: "Your Highness, he is reluctant."

"Your Highness was only seventeen years old, too young."

"If you say that he endured the humiliation himself, I believe it; but if you say that he has the consciousness, he can push me into danger every step of the way, and use his last words to guide me to find out the truth-at least, as far as I know, His Royal Highness Lai An, he still does it.No……"

Before he finished saying "I can't do it", there was a creaking sound behind Jiang Jianming.

Xie Yuduo was listening intently with a turbulent heart, and was almost not startled by the voice.

Taking a closer look, it was the side door of the bedroom that was opened by Garcia on the other side.

Jiang Jianming turned his head, frowned and lowered his voice: "Your Highness, follow the rules."

So Garcia, who poked his head out over there, tightened his lips, and closed the door wearily.

"Knock knock."

There was a knock on the door.

Jiang Jianming: "Please come in."

Garcia opened the door and walked in.

This series of movements was so smooth that Xie Yuduo was stunned and almost knocked over the teacup next to his hand.

——This is how you learn to knock on the door first before entering, are you tamed so quickly??

Back then, the identities of Jiang Jianming and Prince Lai An were very different.

However, it was only a little over a year since they first met and settled their marriage.

At that time, Xie Yuduo didn't know the details, but thought it was absurd and a joke.

But now, after witnessing how these two get along with each other, Major General Xie fell into deep confusion:

They were together for a year and a half back then, why haven't they had children yet?

Oh, and not yet of legal childbearing age in the Empire.

That's fine.

Garcia walked behind Jiang Jianming, glanced at Xie Yuduo with cold eyebrows: "You two, do you have so much to say every day?" He reached out and took the notebook on the table, "What is this?"

Jiang Jianming didn't mind being looked at by him, so he stood up and faced him: "A ciphertext that I need to decipher. What do you think these words mean?"

Xie Yuduo became nervous, he never thought that the young master would be so courageous, he would go up and ask himself directly!

Jiang Jianming: "You don't need to think about it, just tell me your first impression, Your Highness."

Garcia looked at it for a few seconds, then looked up suspiciously.

"Isn't this a love letter?"

Jiang Jianming: "..."

Xie Yuduo: "..."

Jiang Jianming held his forehead heavily, and gave a difficult smile: "...Yes, you say yes."

"Then what do you think the person who wrote this love letter would feel at that time?"

Garcia: "Since it's a love letter, isn't it missing your lover?"

"..."

A suffocating silence filled the air again.

Jiang Jianming: "You are awesome, give it back to me."

Garcia remained silent, holding the notebook in his hands.He looked at these four lines carefully, and suddenly a strange sore emotion surged in his heart.

Is it emptiness?Or is it sad?

He didn't know what to say.

It seemed that he was watching his lover walking towards him from far away.

It would be a very small, cruel figure, walking between the sky and the earth.

He will trek across the mountains, wade through the dark sea, and walk against the flood of time and space.As he stood alone on the wreckage of blood and fire, the wind would pass through his ribs like a dagger.

There seemed to be a voice calling from the bottom of my heart.

—Don't go down, don't come over.

It was as if a hole had been opened in my heart, which was painful and hungry, making me desperately hope for something to fill the void.

Then there was a second cry from the bottom of my heart.

— No, you want to come, you will come.

You will come to my side, come to my arms, let me hold your scarred body.

Don't be afraid, my love.At the end of all wars and dust, at the moment when the long night and the dawn are intertwined, I will hug you and sleep together...

"...Next...Your Highness!"

Garcia woke up suddenly.

He lowered his gaze slowly, and saw a piece of white and tender skin on the back of his neck.

The prince was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't realize what was going on.

His arm was wrapped around Jiang Jianming's waist at some point, and with a slight movement of his fingertips, he touched the disabled human's lower abdomen through the cloth.

Jiang Jianming looked at him with helplessness mixed with love, love mixed with tolerance: "Your Highness, I didn't ask you to give me a practical demonstration."

Garcia was a little stiff.

Because he hugged Jiang Jianming into his arms in a daze.

The distant is close at hand, and the void is also filled.The disabled human being was thinner than he imagined, but it was not as soft as he imagined.

Not fragrant flowers.

It was a sharp, cold and fragile skate.

Jiang Jianming said meaningfully: "Your Highness, is it so comfortable for me to hold you? How long do you want to hold me?"

"..."

The prince silently put aside those beautiful emerald eyes, and then his eyelashes swept to one side as sharply as a knife.

After two or three seconds, he let go of Jiang Jianming very slowly, and said in a low voice, "Excuse me."

For a moment, he couldn't bear to let go.

...

At the other end, Xie Yuduo sat on his chair, staring blankly at the projection in front of him.

In all fairness, His Royal Highness and Lieutenant Jiang are far beyond comparison in appearance and temperament.

The scene where the beauty is hugging the beauty is lingering and a perfect match.

The major general said in a gloomy tone: "...You two, can the communication be cut off? The dog's eyes of this officer are a bit fierce."

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the office!

The automatic door opened from the outside, and Rita rushed in quickly.

The female adjutant turned pale: "

Report to the Major General!"

"The latest news from the front line."

"The exploration team investigating the emergence of subspecies and high-level alien creatures is in danger. Judging from the last message from the captain, it is very likely that the entire team has been... destroyed."

Rita took a deep breath and said with difficulty: "We...we are sending drones to confirm."

snap!

Xie Yuduo's pupils constricted suddenly, and the porcelain teacup he loved to hold all year round was shattered by the crystal bone that appeared between the major general's fingers, and the unfinished tea dripped down from his fingers.

The air instantly became heavy like lead.On the other side of the projection, Jiang Jianming and Garcia glanced at each other quickly, and their expressions changed suddenly.

First, several high-level alien creatures suddenly appeared in the low-risk area, causing heavy casualties to the officers during the adaptation period.

Subsequently, the elite team sent by Yin Beidou to investigate was completely wiped out.

No matter how unpredictable life and death are in the distant interstellar world, this is absolutely impossible to be the result of ordinary events.

Xie Yuduo's face was livid, he almost gritted his silver teeth, his handsome face was enveloped by evil spirit in an instant: "Damn..."

The muscles at the corners of the major's mouth twitched, his teeth creaked and trembled.Because those people in the exploration team were sent out by him.

Now that he is dead, it means that his order has sent those brothers to their deaths.

Xie Yuduo's eyes were full of clouds, he turned to Rita and said, "Call Lieutenant Colonel Huolin over here."

But no matter how heartbroken he was, he still had to issue a new order as quickly and calmly as possible, even if it might mean another death.

Because he is the supreme commander of the fortress and the general of Yin Beidou.

It has been like this for many years.

"Major General!"

Rita was taken aback, and said in a low voice: "Lieutenant Colonel Huolin hasn't been out of low-risk areas for many years since he was in charge of training officers in the adaptation period."

Xie Yuduo's voice suddenly turned sharp: "Call Huo Lin over!"

His voice echoed in the office like the roar of a tiger.

Rita's complexion changed slightly, she puffed her chest out and said, "Yes!"

She immediately turned and walked out.

"stop."

A cold voice suddenly came from behind.

It came from the contact device.

In the projection screen in front of the major general, Garcia rested on Jiang Jianming's desk with one hand, and moved his upper body closer to Xie Yuduo.

The blond hair fell down, and the oppressive feeling on the prince's body was revealed wantonly at this moment.

Garcia raised his eyelids indifferently, and spit out two words: "Coordinates."

Rita turned around in astonishment.

Xie Yuduo was stunned for a moment: "Your Highness, you?"

Garcia ignored Xie Yuduo, but turned his head.He looked at Jiang Jianming seriously, and asked word by word: "Do you want to follow me or stay?"

Jiang Jianming calmly raised his dark eyes, as if he was not surprised by Garcia's question.

Unknown dangers lie ahead, and Garcia prepares to go.

Did he stay in the fortress, or did he follow?

The answer is obvious.

"Your Excellency."

Xie Yuduo suddenly said, "This mission is unusual, with great unknowns and dangers. You have just returned from the mission, and if you run outside again, you may not be able to survive, or else..."

Jiang Jianming lowered his eyebrows and smiled silently.

Yes, he is a disabled person after all.

"You don't need to deliberately speak euphemistically to take care of my mood, major general."

Jiang Jianming raised his face and looked at Xie Yuduo steadfastly, "In the face of the big picture, I still understand some things."

The problem is not just a natural frailty and low tolerance to the grain environment.

Disabled humans who do not have crystal bones and cannot manipulate real crystals will have almost no self-protection ability once they lose their new crystal weapons or their weapons fail.

If he encounters an unexpected danger, with Garcia next to him, the possibility of hindering his legs is much more than that of gaining.

After all, His Royal Highness is so powerful, and he...

Garcia said coldly: "Since it's decided, don't talk nonsense. Xie Yuduo, information."

The prince seemed to be emotional, Xie Yuduo didn't dare to provoke him, and quickly said: "Please come over here, Your Highness, I will ask Rita to copy the details and coordinates to you."

Garcia reached out and hung up the communication directly.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Jiang Jianming had no expression on his face. He opened the drawer and took out a box of tranquilizers from it.

Take out one of the stitches and roll up your sleeves.

During this time, he has not had injections.Because Garcia would put him in the treatment cabin, let him inhale the crystal particle tranquilizer in aerosol form, and order him to drink oral medicine with tranquilizer added.

But this time, His Highness did not stop, but watched Jiang Jianming give himself a needle.

"You are lying." The prince said with certainty.

"I don't, Your Highness." Jiang Jianming lightly pushed the medicine into his body, "Major General Xie and I said 'I understand'."

"I do understand that things are tricky this time, and my existence is tricky, but I'm not saying no."

Garcia narrowed his eyes mockingly: "I thought you had a closer relationship with Xie Yuduo, but it turns out that you even lied to him."

Jiang Jianming lowered his head and checked the bullets of the Wings of Venus without raising his eyelids, and said with a smile, "You seem to be very happy?"

Garcia: "You should thank me for covering for you."

Jiang Jianming: "You are good or bad."

With a soft sound, the magazine was installed back into the new crystal pistol.

"Please let me go with you, Your Highness."

Jiang Jianming turned the pistol in his palm.

His eyes were clear, and he said in a neutral tone: "I will be more useful than some people imagine."

As if seeing a scene that he finally wanted to see, Garcia stretched his lips and smiled contentedly.

He raised his hands, leisurely holding the cheeks of the remnant crystal human beings, squinting his eyes aggressively, and said in a low voice, "Yes, but you have to be obedient."

"No matter what the situation is... stay by my side and listen to me, and you will be fine."

Jiang Jianming also smiled, and he also raised his hand.

The young lieutenant held a beautiful silver-gray pistol in his hand.

The muzzle of the Wings of Venus raised and lowered, and naughtily tapped the prince's forehead.

"I will return the original words, and you are the same. You must obey me obediently."
