"They're all short-sighted guys."

Lieutenant General Jin Min shook his head in the dark underground of the Yinbei Dipper, and said bitterly, "Most of the space robbers are uneducated. They probably think that this robbery is no different from previous years."

It's just the same as before, attacking the starships of the Great Empire, killing some people happily, looting some resources, and returning with a full load, it can provide for the brothers' lives for half a year.

Still drink big bowls, eat big pieces of meat, and be a reckless hero without restraint in this sea of stars.

However, this is the battle.

The empire is without their founding commander.

Jiang Jianming felt that the blood in his whole body was cooling down.

What he perceives far exceeds Lieutenant General Jin's perspective.

Because he has seen it, he has seen the morning when Kaios' consciousness returned.Lin Ge and Xi Erfu rushed over, they shouted indistinctly, cut each other short, and even tugged at each other.

It seems that they are no longer the majesty of the empire, no longer the leader of the base, but two young women running along the years, and then grabbed the corner of time.

Jiang Jianming didn't know what would have happened if the commander-in-chief had been there at the time.

What's more, he didn't know how deep hatred and unwillingness it was, and how many layers of blood and tears had piled up over the years...

Only then could the female emperor, who was full of anger, laughing and cursing, chase five galaxies in the universe alone, and stab the laser spear into Chiyu's throat with her own hands.

Only then can such a tolerant and kind leader peel off the crystal particles from the corpse of the red fish, and refine them into a bloody and taboo long knife to offer to the emperor.

All along, he didn't like senseless wars, endless hatred, and crystal bone weapons that violated ethics, and even fought against His Royal Highness for this.

He should have secretly shaken his head because of the extreme actions of the emperor when he suppressed the Yu Pirates, and then lamented that the leader crossed that line as a scientific researcher, which is really irrational.

But the truth is, standing in the dungeon of the Second Fortress, Jiang Jianming only had one vague thought in his mind——

When the commander passed away, Lin Ge was less than thirty years old.Sylph is just in her early twenties, and in this interstellar age, she can still be called a girl's age.

Later, the truth of the crystal particles was exposed, and the emperor left, entrusting them with the future of the empire and the fate of mankind.

They must have had a hard time for so many years.

Also very lonely.

He was suddenly heartbroken, and his vision was suddenly blurred by water mist. Jiang Jianming blinked blankly, and tears rolled down his cheeks.

When he reacted, he was taken aback. Fortunately, the environment was dark, and Lieutenant General Jin was also feeling emotional, so he didn't notice this side.

Jiang Jianming hurriedly wiped away the tear stain from the side of his face, and thought in shock: What's the matter, am I so sentimental?

Gao Long was still chattering: "Oh, but why did the emperor rush to go to the interstellar, little brother, general, do you know?"

"Hey, you guys definitely don't know! But I," he compared himself with his thumbs, looking radiant, "I know!"

Jiang Jianming lost his mind a long time ago, so he just "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" the perfunctory words, anyway, what this big man was talking about must be unofficial rumors that came from nowhere.

Regardless of whether he insists on the truce, neither Gao Long's affairs nor Lava's affairs can be arranged in three or two days.Jiang Jianming turned around and walked out of the dungeon with Jin Min.

"It is said!" Behind him, Gao Long took a deep breath, "The reason why His Majesty was in a hurry to send troops was because the supply of real crystal mines in the country was insufficient. His Majesty..."

He deliberately and mysteriously paused for a few seconds, his face flushed from holding back—of course, it may not be holding back, but pure excitement.

"Because of His Majesty! He was unfaithful to Queen Sylph at the time, and fell in love with a cripple who was suffering from the late stage of Crystal Chaos!"

Jiang Jianming staggered and almost tripped over the threshold.

His first reaction was: Help.

He really didn't want to hear any more suffocating founding gossip.

But after Jiang Jianming stabilized his pace, he tried his best to take another two steps forward under Jin Min's scolding back——

As if being struck by a white lightning, he stopped suddenly!

etc!

A thought popped out suddenly, the hairs on Jiang Jianming's back stood on end, and all kinds of doubts surged in his heart again.

He remembered... yes, just before this expedition, he had doubted whether he was also the substrate of some projection.

Unofficial history is unreliable.

But as the old saying goes, there are no waves without wind.

Why did Chief Sylve, who was the Empress Dowager, readily agree to marry him and Ryan?

Even if the emperor and empress had a political marriage back then, isn't there something wrong with that kind of gratifying attitude like a married child?

And why does His Majesty Lin Ge treat him so kindly, calling him "obviously" every day, and never hesitates to see such outrageous things as disabled people entering the royal family?

Thinking about it, Jiang Jianming's face turned pale, his hands and feet were cold, and his heart was beating so hard that his eyes were turning black.

The most important thing is: why did Emperor Kaios treat him so affectionately when his consciousness returned that day?

Just like what Ryan said a few days ago, such a founding emperor, who can be called a hero in troubled times, really accepted it without any grievances because he had a new disabled person who had been in love for two or three years in his memory?

In the era when the Great Emperor lived, disabled human beings were definitely inferior races...

But what if, back then, Kaios himself fell in love with a disabled human being, and Lin Ge, Sylph and the others also knew about it?

Also, the last words in the Golden Dawn Crown.He once guessed that the image inside was related to the founding of the country, if "awakening" refers to the projection of the matrix...

If those words were not actually left by His Royal Highness Leian, but a love poem between Emperor Kaios and his lover in his previous life; when Kaios' memory woke up when the base body was dying, he left it to himself...…

If so, then everything is on point!

Jiang Jianming hastily helped the pipe embedded in the wall next to him before he stepped on his feet. He was terrified: So, in his previous life, could he be——

What Gao Long said, heard it from some corner of the unofficial history, the real little lover of Emperor Kaios... or something!?

This guess not only did not make Jiang Jianming feel the happiness of "love between two generations", but it seemed to kick him into the abyss.

The situation was tense and the war was at hand, so he didn't want to do unnecessary self-torture to disturb his mood.

But can't control it.Jiang Jianming couldn't help substituting the scene of the year, and he began to imagine that if he was really seriously ill.

A new empire has been established, the darkness has been driven out, but he is dying.There is no real crystal ore, no medicine and tranquilizer, no way.

The newly enthroned His Majesty refused to accept his fate - this is indeed very similar to Ryan's style.Under pressure from all sides, he did not hesitate to quarrel with the commander who had assisted him since he was a child, and then the emperor broke up with him.

Thinking about it, Jiang Jianming got a terrible headache, secretly thinking that this is not nonsense, for a little lover to take an adventure, if he were Aslan, he would be anxious with Ryan!

In the end, the new emperor went alone, leading the fleet, and marched bloody in the unexplored distant interstellar.

It would be great if there was no sneak attack.If this is the case, maybe the emperor can extend the life of his sweetheart as he wished, and he can also apologize to the commander and reconcile after his triumphant return.

If it was Ryan's character, he would probably pick a sunny afternoon to visit in person.First, with a sullen face, he hummed reservedly: "Why, didn't I win yet? It seems that the commander's judgment sometimes made mistakes.

Then put down his posture, and said in a soft and magnetic tone: ... Don't be angry, rest at ease, I know that the commander is for my own good.

The real history is not like this.

The lava came, the fleet was trapped in the sea of stars and fought hard, the lives of the soldiers were dying, and the hard-earned true crystal mines would also be robbed.

The young new emperor will fight like a trapped beast, he must have the same powerful crystal bone as Ryan.

But everything is still heading towards that irreversible situation.

That night, Jiang Jianming shut himself up.

Ryan retreated back, seeing him so distracted and absent-minded, it was like seeing red rain falling from the sky.

At the dining table, the black-haired cripple slowly moved the dishes, but the vacillation of his eyes showed that he was in a daze.

The pickled dish was not delivered to the mouth for a long time, and finally fell back to the original place pitifully.

Ryan couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked a piece of meat and fed it to him: "What's wrong with you? Someone bullied you today? Or what did Jin Min tell you?"

Jiang Jianming chewed and swallowed mechanically, and it took him a while to maintain that dazed state, whispering: "Your Highness, if one day I'm about to die..."

Before he could finish speaking, there was a bang on the opposite side, and Ryan dropped the bowl heavily.

Only then did Jiang Jianming wake up, and quickly stuffed a few mouthfuls of food into his mouth: "Sorry, I was talking nonsense."

Ryan got up directly and went out of the room.Five minutes later, His Highness strode back, and impatiently pulled Jiang Jianming's chair away: "Have you gone to the dungeon?"

Is this the communication at night that harassed Lieutenant General Jin... Jiang Jianming was dragged up in a daze, and was pushed into His Highness's arms in the next second.

He dropped the chopsticks in his hand and made a crackling sound on the floor.

Ryan hugged him tightly, pressed his chin against his face, hurt and angry, and said with a dark voice: "How many times have I told you——"

"Ah... no, no," Jiang Jianming realized something, and he patted Ryan's tense shoulders, "Don't think about it, it's not a problem of stress disorder."

Ryan was dubious, so he simply picked up Jiang Jianming's leg, carried him directly to the bed, and skillfully stripped off his coat, shoes and socks.

Then he turned on the warm yellow bedside lamp, took off his outer robe, got into the quilt and hugged him: "What's the problem, you're not normal."

In Ryan's eyes, Jiang Jianming's skill in forbearance and restraint is very strong, which is no less than his tactical attainments.

Whatever happened to him before, it was because of his temper, Jiang came to relieve him.He had never seen Jiang lose his composure like this.

Ryan tentatively said, "Jin Min said, do you intend to make peace with Lava?"

"..." Jiang Jianming's teeth were clenched, making it difficult for him to speak.

He does mean it.But if the guess is true, then his original body was the root cause of the tragedy that year. No one should mention the words "Please put down the hatred of the empire and make a truce with the lava".

What will His Majesty and the leader think when they hear this, and what will Ryan think of him when he finds out the inside story?

But even so.Jiang Jianming lowered his eyelashes indifferently, he bit the soft flesh inside his mouth and thought to himself, knowing that he was sorry for Commander Aslan, he had to...

"Yes, the racial war between crystal particles and humans is the first priority. I hope that the empire can have a truce with lava in the near future."

Ryan was silent for a while, and said: "As long as the slaughter thief is still on Singer Lin for a day, it will be impossible."

"Then please destroy it, Your Majesty."

Jiang Jianming controlled his voice not to shake, perhaps because of the support of his mentality of not doing one thing and not doing two things, he did it perfectly.

"I will personally submit this proposal to His Majesty. Crystal bone weapons should not exist in a world of peace. The ring you gave me is the same."

He took off his black leather gloves and glanced at his ring finger: "I won't keep it until the war is over."

In this passage, Jiang Jianming meant to say it very heartlessly.But Ryan was in a good mood after hearing that.

He tore the disabled human being off the collar of his shirt and pressed it on the bed. He first stroked the pale and delicate nape of his neck with his lips, then bit it lightly with his canine teeth, and said with a smile, "Of course, I agree."

So Jiang Jianming realized in his heart, and then it hurt.He closed his eyes under the warm yellow light, and rested his forehead on Ryan's heart.

——What I want to imply is clearly that I will throw away the wedding ring you forged for me without hesitation, and I will throw it away without hesitation. I am such an indifferent person.

The message his little Highness received was: the war will end, and Jiang Jianming is still alive at that time.

...

The next day, Jiang Jianming was forced to take a day off.

Sitting in the command seat of the flagship is indeed more energy efficient than sitting in the control seat of the mecha, but the mental exhaustion cannot be said to be easy.

Ryan was worried about his state in various senses, locked him in the treatment cabin late at night, and didn't allow him to go out and wander around alone during the day.

Jiang Jianming had no choice but to hide in the bedroom and read books and military information, and by the way put on the posture of "I'm cruel, I'm ruthless, I have no conscience, what do you do?" to write a report to the emperor, and it didn't waste time.

In fact, Jiang Jianming is definitely a cautious person.Now there is only speculation, and he knows that what he should do is to seek evidence rather than believe in it.

Coincidentally, what he is going to do now is rather excessive.Jiang Jianming was worried that angering His Majesty Lin Song would miss the overall situation, thinking that his only remaining excuse was "one who doesn't know is not guilty", so he dared not say it.

It has to be said that most of the ridiculous oolongs in the world are like this... born of the addition of various coincidences.

Jiang Jianming imagined countless outcomes, including all kinds of extremely bad situations.But the fact is that he never expected it anyway.

The first galaxy of the Empire, the Star City of Aslan, and the White Emerald Palace.

At five o'clock in the morning, the depths of the palace were empty.Lin Song has long hair loose, and she sits in the early morning surrounded by golden roses, like a classical female sculpture.

After a long time, the queen said to herself, "Sylph, sometimes I feel that he really has a wonderful ability—"

Next to it is Sylph's comm projection.The leader put on the black hood again and the mysterious black clothes, like a solid black mountain.

She said in an inorganic electronic voice, "Oh."

"It's obvious that he's torturing others." The corners of Lin Song's eyes blushed a little, she gritted her teeth, "It can still make everyone feel that he is the one who is tormented the most."

The leader calmly said: "Are you sure you didn't say the opposite: He is the one who suffers the most, but he always has the ability to make others feel that he is torturing others."

The queen turned a deaf ear, "Oh, do you know what I received yesterday? He..."

Lin Song covered her eyes and laughed, her shoulders shrugged, making it seem like she was crying for a moment, "He actually proposed to me to make peace with the lava...hahaha..."

"For so many years, everyone in the empire has known how much I hate Lava. Even Old Chen only dared to make indirect remarks once in a while, but he..."

Lin Song buried her head deeply, resting her forehead with the palm of her hand, tightly clutching her messy black hair with five fingers, "Tell me, why is this person still the same, Sylph, what are you talking about?"

Sylph was silent for a long time, then moved his black armored fingers, as if he wanted to raise his hand to appease the queen.

But he remembered that this was just a communication projection, and there was a vast galaxy between the two of them.

So the leader withdrew his hand and said slowly: "Actually, that night when you helped you create the slaughter thief..."

Lin Song: "Do you regret it?"

Sylph: "No, I just dreamed that the commander scolded me."

"I stood dejectedly in front of him and was trained. I was wearing the snow-white dress I saw him for the first time, with delicate braids. I was a girl who had just turned eighteen."

"That's how I first met you, Lin Song."

Lin Song shook his head and said hoarsely: "I can't go back to that time, Sylph... It's been too many years ago."

Sylph: "Are you really going to keep hiding it from him?"

Lin Song: "What? I don't understand."

Sylph: "It's useless to pretend to be crazy. When are you going to tell the commander his current identity as a substrate?"

Lin Song lowered his head and laughed, his scarlet prosthetic eyes gleamed faintly: "Boss, what's wrong with you?"

"Dawn Aslan is dead, let Mingming become the life of 'Jiang Jianming'... Isn't this what we agreed at the beginning?"

"At that time," the leader said, "we didn't expect the emergence of the Crystal Cult, and we didn't expect the advance of the decisive battle."

"so what!?"

Lin Song suddenly raised his eyebrows, with a miserable expression on his face: "What do you think of him, a living dead who can be dug up from the grave and used at any time if the situation is difficult!?"

There was silence for a few seconds.

The leader remained motionless, and the cold black hood completely covered her expression.

Until the electronic speaker sounded: "Lin Song, I'll give you a chance to withdraw your slip of the tongue."

There was a moment of silence in the flower garden where the golden roses were blooming, only the birds were singing in the shadow of the trees in the distance, and the fresh branches and leaves of this spring were blown by the breeze.

The queen sat back tiredly, propped her forehead and murmured, "...I'm sorry."

The author has something to say:

Lai: I don't trust Keos.

Jiang: I'm sorry for Aslan.
