A few minutes after being hugged by the crystal bone, Jiang Jianming became confused again.

He vaguely heard the sound of the Mech Slashing Comet starting, so he was completely relieved, and the memory after that was gone.

Hush... don't know how long it took, and the thin warm water suddenly splashed on his body.

Jiang Jianming, who was almost unconscious, shivered instinctively and woke up.His vision blurred for a while before it gradually cleared up, and he saw the white and spacious bathroom first.

"...Your Highness."

The bathroom was very warm, and Jiang Jianming raised his head in Garcia's arms... Garcia's clothes and long hair were wet, and the water vapor softened his stern face.

The prince was expressionless, holding him in his arms with one hand, as if pinching a small animal awakened from hibernation; with the other hand, he held the shower, pouring water from his heart to his limbs.

"I'm much better, thank you. Wait, don't..." Jiang Jianming said hoarsely, propping up his limp body, trying to sit up straight from the prince's arms, "Don't wash me, just wait a moment."

He raised his head and looked around in a daze, "Where is this place, didn't you say take me back to the dormitory?"

Garcia ignored it and continued to wash him with warm water.Jiang Jianming pushed the shower and stared at Garcia in disbelief: "This is Emerald Palace? You brought me to..."

Garcia stopped the water, and gave him a neutral look: "Yes, this is the room of the former crown prince, and it belongs to me now. It seems that you are very familiar with this place, and you can recognize it just by looking at the bathroom."

He first wiped Jiang Jianming dry with a towel, then changed to a dry towel to wrap him in, and walked out of the bathroom with his arms in his arms.

In the middle, His Royal Highness ruthlessly raised his legs and stepped over the man who was thrown on the floor to lie dead, and finally stuffed Jiang Jianming into the quilt on the bed.

After doing all this, Garcia straightened up. This action allowed him to look down at Jiang Jianming who was lying on the bed.

"Your brain is good."

Garcia took two steps back, and his emerald green eyes became cold: "It sent me a distress message and coordinates before the mech's system was completely disrupted. You made a stupid mistake, but after all, it's notLet me die."

"..." Jiang Jianming shrank back under the quilt, and at the same time looked at the man on the floor with complicated eyes.

"What are you looking at?" Garcia gasped impatiently, and poked the man's wrist with the tip of his shoe, "He can't die, this is a new human, didn't you notice?"

He ground his fangs: "...This is the last time I save you, don't expect any exceptions."

"Don't come to me in the future, let alone call me 'Your Highness'. You know who you are calling."

Before he finished speaking, Garcia had already turned and walked towards the door.Jiang Jianming got up from the bed, opened his mouth and subconsciously wanted to call "Your Highness", but swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue, and changed to: "Garcia."

His Royal Highness did not slow down at all.He didn't seem to want to stay here for one more second, he didn't even care about his wet clothes and long hair, he just pulled off the thick cloak on the hanger and walked out.

Jiang Jianming wanted to catch up, grabbed the quilt with both hands and was about to lift it, but suddenly realized that he was naked, so he had to give up with complicated emotions.

After all, the scene of chasing each other with the prince naked in the corridor of the White Emerald Palace was too horrifying, so he didn't want it.

Garcia must have done it on purpose...Jiang Jianming was so angry and funny, he put on a quilt and went to the ground barefoot, planning to look for clothes to wear first.

Soon, he saw a set of clean clothes placed on top of a small cabinet not far away.

Jiang Jianming walked over, bent down and stretched out his hand... Before he picked up the suit, his eyes fell on the treatment cabin next to the cabinet.

——This thing appeared too abruptly and too well, and the words "Go in, you go in by yourself" were almost pasted on it.

Jiang Jianming didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

So, His Highness is thinking that there is no treatment cabin in the staff dormitory of the military academy, and it may not be convenient to call for help if something happens... That's why he was brought into Bai Emerald Palace temporarily?

I was also afraid that he would suffer from the aftereffects of freezing or drowning, and couldn't bear to take care of him with own hands, so hid the treatment cabin in this kind of place.

He also carefully formulated such a "step by step" and "lure the enemy to go deep" combat plan to ensure that he could see the existence of the treatment cabin.

"..."

Jiang Jianming grabbed his clothes and stood for a long time, shook his head and sighed, rubbed his painful temples again.

... Forget it, this is the future, what else are you chasing after.

He turned his gaze to the man on the floor helplessly, and thought to himself: Perhaps, he should first deal with this unlucky Mr. who was thrown away by His Royal Highness?

About half an hour later, Mr. Unlucky Ghost, who was put on the bed by Jiang Jianming in clean clothes and covered with a quilt, groaned and woke up slowly.

Jiang Jianming had tidied himself up at this moment, and he didn't see the slightest embarrassment from drowning.

He sat on the soft chair opposite with great interest, observing the man lightly, holding a cup of steaming sweet jujube tea in his hand.

"hiss……"

I saw this man in his thirties sitting up with difficulty. He had brown hair and black eyes, and his brows stretched out. He couldn't be called handsome, but he had a very upright appearance.

"You're awake." Jiang Jianming said gently, "How do you feel, is there any discomfort in your body?"

While speaking, he noticed the dark circles under his eyes and the stubble on his chin, guessing that this man was busy or anxious recently, and had no time to take care of himself.

"Ah, no, I'm fine." The man quickly turned his head and cast a grateful look, "Your Excellency, you took the risk to save me. I... I almost caused you to have an accident, I really don't know how to thank you andJust apologize."

Jiang Jianming smiled, picked up another cup of jujube tea on the table, walked to the bed, and put it on the bedside table: "It's nothing, let's drink some hot one first. Then can you tell me your name?"

——To be honest, although the White Emerald Palace is a forbidden area of the palace, he has been brought in by Lai An quite a few times. The robots and intelligent monitoring system here have his authority.

However, since Lai An's funeral, Jiang Jianming has resolutely stopped coming to Bai Emerald Palace, and it has been almost three years.

He just went out and ordered two cups of jujube tea from the smartphone, just to test whether his authority was still there. Fortunately, the authority was not shut down, and the robot quickly delivered jujube tea from the kitchen.

But now, this drink, which was a tribute to the palace, was taken by a man who still didn't know where he was.

"thanks, thanks."

The man took it with both hands, bowed his head and took a few sips, then cleared his throat, pointed to his chest and said, "My name is Zheng Yue, Guan Erzheng, and I am a poor officer with no background. I belong to the Jinrilun Empire Guards."The first regiment of the army, the rank of major."

Jiang Jianming nodded, not very surprised.

If it is an ordinary person, if they fall into the big winter river and struggle a few times at most, they will not be able to hold on.Not to mention that the two of them were later trapped in the stationary mech, swimming up dangerously and dangerously.

Judging from the series of qualities the man displayed after falling into the water, he really didn't look like an ordinary civilian.

What surprised Jiang Jianming was the man's next sentence.

He said embarrassingly, "But that happened a few months ago, and now I've been dismissed, and I'm a uh... unemployed."

As he said that, Zheng Yue smiled wryly, and stroked his hair: "So I'm sorry, my lord, you saved my life, but I really can't give you anything to thank you now..."

"Removed?"

Jiang Jianming frowned: "Why?"

"Oh, my words and deeds are inappropriate." Zheng Yue said succinctly.

He voluntarily reported his identity when Jiang Jianming only asked his name at the beginning, which was a sign of politeness and sincerity; so the perfunctory at this moment is to implicitly show that he doesn't want to talk more about this topic.

Of course Jiang Jianming understood. He pulled a chair and sat down on the bedside, and said calmly, "Sorry, Mr. Zheng, I might have to get straight to the point."

"This incident is man-made. Someone wants to kill you. Do you know why?"

Zheng Yue smiled wryly and touched his nose.

"...It's better for others not to know about this matter."

Jiang Jianming sighed, and turned on his wrist phone, "You said you used to belong to Jin Rilun, right?"

He called up his military status page and let it be projected in the void, and said in a deep voice: "I am a graduate of the Kaios Military Academy, Jiang Jianming, an officer under the command of Major General Xie Yuduo of the First Silver Beidou Army."

Zheng Yue's eyes widened suddenly, and he jumped up from the bed: "Silver Beidou!?"

"You, you are the officer of Yin Beidou—"

He grabbed Jiang Jianming's wrist phone to look at it, and immediately blushed with excitement: "No wonder, no wonder. You even have folding mechas. Let me tell you, it turns out..."

Jiang Jianming put away his wrist phone with a smile. The Yinbeidou has an extraordinary status in the eyes of the soldiers and civilians of the empire. Even if it is the golden sun wheel that is known as the Yinbeidou on the bright side, most of the officers and soldiers in it will still worship it.The star creatures of the Yin Beidou people who fought bloody battles.

Zheng Yue is obviously one of them, which saves him a lot of trouble.

"Major Zheng, the reason why I ask you this is because I suspect that some conspiracy against the security of the empire will be involved behind your murder. If you still have concerns, you can tell me what proof you want, and I will do my best."

Zheng Yue shook his head and sighed, "Oh, don't say that, what worries do you have about Yin Beidou's Excellency? But these words are too difficult to say."

"Where do I start... Oh, since you are an officer of Yin Beidou, you must know the true crystal mine."

Jiang Jianming: "Yes, we hunt down alien creatures every day, and this is what we collect from them."

Zheng Yue: "Then you must also know, what will happen to these resources after the Yinbeidou fortress has collected the real crystal ore?"

Jiang Jianming realized that Zheng Yue was still testing him consciously, to see if he was a real Silver Beidou officer.

So he took a sip of jujube tea and chose to answer this question in more detail.

"Well, twice a year in spring and autumn, there will be armed starships transporting supplies between the distant interstellar and the empire. At this time, the first and second fortresses will send back nearly 80% of the collected true crystal minesFor the empire, only keep 20% for your own use."

"The third fortress is an exception. In addition to keeping 20% of their own use, 30% of the true crystal mines are directly supplied to the research of the Black Shark Base, and only 50% of the true crystal mines are sent back to the empire."

Zheng Yue: "You're right. True crystal ore is a controlled product in the empire. Even for nobles, it is a felony to hide true crystal ore. The whole process of transportation is supervised by Yinbeidou and Jinrilun, with Albion Star City as the center.transfer station, and then distribute them to each star city according to the indicators."

He pointed to his nose: "Unfortunately, I am the supervisor in charge of Aslan Star City."

"I and two other colleagues have been in charge of supervising the two links of starship landing and resource unloading and handover all year round, but just this fall, a week before the handover, an order came from above suddenly, saying that we don't need to take care of it this time.It is a temporary dispatch, and the headquarters will send other officers to supervise this trip."

Jiang Jianming's expression was slightly solemn, and he listened to what he said.

Zheng Yue said half bitterly and half self-deprecatingly: "I thought it was very strange at the time, it didn't make sense. I wondered who took my job, so I went to ask around, but the more I asked, the colder I felt......"

"This is not a classified military activity at all, it's just a routine handover twice a year." The man took a deep breath, and suddenly grasped the corners of the bedside table with all his fingers, "But I just can't find it!The Jin Rilun officer who supervised that handover cannot be found!"

"At this time, the superiors began to warn me, and my colleagues also advised me not to worry about it, saying that it may be that the situation of the distant interstellar is not good this year, and the real crystal mine cannot be sent over?"

"But I don't give up. I feel something is wrong. I have a buddy who works in the space station of Kim Il-lun, you know that thing."

Jiang Jianming nodded: "Like a big white spinning top."

When he and Garcia returned to the empire, they passed the space station in front of the colorful high-dimensional blockade in a starship.

"Yes, that's the one." Zheng Yue's expression gradually became tense, "There will be a review and record of all the starships that come and go. I begged my buddy to help me, and he secretly went to check the data records. It turned out that...

"——The starship transporting the real crystal mine to Elborn did pass there as usual. But I can't find the starship transporting from Alborn to Aslan, what does this mean!?"

Zheng Yue raised his hands violently, his face flushed with anger: "This means that among the batch of true crystal mines that you Yinbeidou sent to the empire in autumn, the part that should have been transported to Aslan... disappeared!"

"It didn't land on the starship port that our Jinrilun is in charge of at all, but was intercepted by someone halfway!!"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Jianming stood up abruptly.

"In the top management of Jinrilun, someone is stealing the real crystal mine!?"

"I... doubt it that way."

Zheng Yue let out a long sigh, and sat back on the bed slumped, covering his face with his palms: "The so-called inappropriate words and deeds actually mean that I was determined to investigate this matter and angered my superiors."

He shook his head in a low voice, and muttered to himself: "But what can be done? The people behind it don't know how powerful they are. I, a little Major Jin Rilun, was dismissed in a blink of an eye.I ran away, I almost lost my life today. And you, Lieutenant Yin Beidou..."

The man muttered in frustration, completely sinking into a hopeless mood.But in the blink of an eye, he saw the black-haired young man in front of him stand up, put on his headset and turn on his wrist phone.

"Oh, don't..." Zheng Yue raised his head, trying to dissuade him, "This matter is deep, it's best not to involve other people."

But suddenly, the projection in front of him flickered, and the upper body of an old man in Jinrilun military uniform popped up.

That was an old man that the imperial soldiers absolutely, absolutely, absolutely could not have known.

boom!Zheng Yue felt as if he had been hit on the head, a hundred thousand fireworks exploded in his mind, and his mouth opened as wide as if he wanted to swallow a star city alive.

And I saw this young officer who claimed to be Lieutenant Yin Beidou, his handsome brows and eyes were filled with anger, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he opened his lips with a sneering smile: "Old Marshal Chen, sorry to bother you,I want to ask—"

"Is the Golden Sun Army of our empire rotten to the bone?"
