"That's Lu Xin."
Lin Jingshu looked back in surprise at the Diamond Plaza in Xingwotto, the capital, and found that the person talking to her was the old Marshal Wolf. She quickly stood up and said hello: "Mr. Wolf, good evening."
Diamond Square is the transition zone between the Central Hall of the Union Parliament and the Forest Park. At this time, a dance was being held in the Central Hall of the Union Parliament. The night lights passed through the semi-enclosed Diamond Square from the hall and stretched into the park like the sea, twinkling. In the room, the clothes are fragrant, the shadows are on the temples, and the laughter is like singing.
This is the civilized world.
During the day, Watto's Eden Management Committee and the Legislative Council stood aside and watched as the representatives of the seven major galaxies quarreled in the council chamber and almost got into fights several times, not to mention showing off too much. In the evening, everyone asked Eden to adjust his hormones, change his clothes, wipe his face, and bring the whole family with him, creating a happy and peaceful circle of friends again.
As the wife of the parliamentary secretary-general, Lin Jingshu will definitely attend. There are so many people who want to talk to her and dance with her. If she agrees one by one, Ms. Lin may have to turn into an automatic top. Therefore, she usually hides when she shows up, waiting for the secretary-general to complete the communication task, and then come out from nowhere. Come out of nowhere and follow him home.
On this day, Lin Jingshu happened to hide in the Forest of Steles at the entrance of the Forest Park.
Since the establishment of the Alliance, all heroes who have made outstanding contributions to human civilization will have their own stone tablets in the Forest of Steles. The master's achievements are engraved on the stone tablets, and there is a bust on the top. Marshal Woolf, who had been in charge of the Alliance Military Commission for more than two hundred years, had a group, General Lin Jingheng - because he died young and made a lot of noise, he also got a place.
Among these stone tablets, there is a very special place. There is only a square stone base about thirty centimeters high. There is neither an inscribed tablet nor a stone statue on it. Among the neatly arranged forest of tablets, it looks like a gaping tooth. .
Lin Jingshu was just sitting on this stone base to rest.
The old marshal was more than three hundred years old. His life spanned both the old and new star calendar eras. There was no need to be too polite to anyone. He simply nodded to Lin Jingshu. He looked at the lonely stone base: "This stone tablet turned out to be the land of Lu." I believe it."
Lin Jingshu immediately stepped back and apologized: "I'm sorry, I don't..."
The old marshal interrupted her: "Have you seen Lu Xin?"
Lin Jingshu was stunned for a moment, then replied cautiously: "No, I don't listen too much. "I dare not mention it.
In the entire capital city, except for an old guy like me who is buried up to his neck in loess and has no taboos, who dares to mention Lu Xin?" The old marshal kicked away the weeds next to the stone base with the toes of his boots and smiled bitterly. After a moment, "Many of the records he set in Wulan College back then have not been broken by anyone yet. I personally made an exception and brought him up. Later, he disobeyed orders and went straight to the eighth galaxy. After the First World War, he ranked among the top ten generals. Thirty-six years old, his achievements are unprecedented, and he is famous all over the world... He is unruly. The glory came too much and too early for him, and in the end it destroyed him."
The old marshal's mandible stretched into a sharp and vicissitudes of line: "In the end, he was wanted for treason and died without a burial place. Not even a stone statue was left."
Lin Jingshu listened quietly, patiently and uninterested, perfectly playing the role of a clueless tree hole.
The old marshal was immersed in his memories for a long time, and a fine evening breeze blew up, picking up the scent of perfume on Lin Jingshu's body. The old marshal's nasal mucosa was a little sensitive, and he couldn't help but turn his head and sneeze. The sneeze brought him back to his senses: "People always talk a lot. I'm sorry, seeing you reminds me of Jing Heng. Lu Xin is famous for his temper. Although he was eccentric, he always loved him and even left Zhan Lu with him... Maybe he felt that these drunkards from the Military Commission were not worthy of touching his mecha."
Lin Jingshu tilted her head slightly: "My pleasure."
The old marshal. Looking at her, it is said that the Lin family brothers and sisters are twins. At first glance, the two people have similar outlines and facial features. However, upon closer inspection, they feel that they are completely different - there is no father-daughter or brother-sister relationship between them. The sense of kinship, behavior, aura and temperament are all very different, like two strangers who happen to look a bit alike.
The lights of the dance changed color, which meant that it was about to end. The old marshal gracefully made an invitation gesture and asked Lin Jingshu to put her arm on his arm: "Your brother is very talented, no less than his teacher Lu Xin back then. It's just that he didn't work hard. When he was in Wulan College, he always had the grades that were just enough to get a scholarship, and he refused to put in any extra effort. If he didn't push him, he would always be absent-minded. I taught him and guided him. He never knew what he wanted."
The smile on Lin Jingshu's face seemed to be painted on, indescribably delicate and fake: "He is indeed a person who makes people feel distant. Every time we meet, it is a routine. After saying a few words of greeting, there is nothing else to talk about. "
The old marshal said: "I thought the relationship between the twins would be very close."
"Maybe, but we were separated when we were very young. Over the years. We have never had any interactions," Lin Jingshu's voice was as soft as the calm spring water. She was neither impatient nor emotional, but also emotionless. "When we were most intimate, probably when we shared the same womb, I may not have understood him as well as you."
" That's fine, the feelings are not deep, and it saves a lot of sadness," Old Marshal Wolfe smiled half-sourly, and his wrinkles spread out like ripples. This one of the founders of the alliance said softly, " It's not like a useless old thing like me, who is stuck in Voto all year round, sending my students and juniors to the battlefield time and time again, and watching them never look back...or become famous for a while, and then be forgotten."
The alliance has not had a war for a hundred years. In the past ten years, only a few interstellar pirates have staged a few terrorist attacks. With military expenditures being reduced year by year and the government disarmament, Lin Jingheng took a silver fortress that was about to become a young master's camp. It can also be settled silently. Often people only learn that pirates are causing trouble, and the pirates have already been killed. It can be seen that the star pirates who caused trouble are noisy and rainy, and they are all remnants that cannot make waves.
Since it is easy to handle, the person who handled it certainly cannot be said to have any merit.
No one cares how many battles the Silver Fortress has fought or how many interstellar pirates it has defeated. But they all remember the interstellar goddess Yevgenia's confession to Admiral Lin through the air. Yevgenia's agency spent a lot of money in the Garden of Eden. , everyone who watched her declaration of love could personally feel the turbulent emotions caused by turbulent hormones. The goddess's fans' emotions fluctuated greatly, almost overloading the Eden network.
It's a pity that General Lin blocked the Garden of Eden, and the goddess was completely flirting with the blind man. He didn't even show his face. He only issued a cold statement in the official name of Silver Fortress, eliminating rhetoric and high-sounding statements. The statement was to the effect: Who are you? ? I don't know, I'm busy, get out.
Up to now, if the dead were not the most important, and the alliance put Lin Jingheng on a pedestal in order to appease the morale of the military, Lin might still be a famous scumbag, impotent and brutal terrorist in the interstellar world.
This is true for frontline generals, not to mention the "idle" Alliance Military Commission. This place seems to have become a place where the unpromising children of powerful people hang out. The most important job task is to maintain their image, in case they are photographed by the media with a hunchback, fat, or If you are disheveled, you have to come out in disgrace and apologize.
After Lin Jingheng's death, interstellar piracy became more and more rampant. Representatives of the seven major galaxies and Watto had a heated argument over military autonomy. However, in the Alliance Parliament, the opinions of Old Marshal Woolf were still insignificant.
Even Wulan Academy is no longer a purely military academy. "First Military Academy" only retains its name, and 80% of its graduates have entered non-military fields.
As the wife of the Secretary-General, Lin Jingshu knew these things very well, but she couldn't comment on them, so she had to smile and say nothing.
The song and dance hall was already in front of them, and the old marshal and Lin Jingshu were silent for a moment.
Marshal Wolf suddenly said: "You and Jingheng have been together less and apart since childhood. It is political reasons and forced by the situation. It is not his fault."
Lin Jingshu replied reasonably: "Of course."
"After all, he is your brother, Miss Lin." Marshal Woolf might be a little confused and forgot that she was already Mrs. Gurdon. He murmured a little naggingly, "Can you Don't forget him. I don't know how many years I can live. I'm afraid no one will be able to remember him when I close my eyes."
Lin Jingshu's hands trembled suddenly, and she almost couldn't hold on to her mask-like smile.
The old marshal did not look at her, and whispered as if talking to himself: "For the convenience of generals stationed abroad, the contact person usually fills in their adjutant, secretary or chief of the guard. Your brother has been in Silver Fortress for so many years, so urgent contact It's you who fills everyone up, and it's never changed... He doesn't have feelings for you."
Lin Jingshu stopped, and a few steps away, she stood in the dim light, her face blurred, but her eyes reflected the tiny light. There seemed to be tears.
"Grandpa Woolf, I'm sorry."
Her voice was muffled, almost suppressed in her throat. The old marshal was a little hard of hearing and asked suspiciously, "What did you say?"
Lin Jingshu's bright red lips trembled for a moment, and she straightened them out. He returned the smile as if nothing had happened: "It's nothing. I wish you a good night. It was a pleasure chatting with you. Gordon is over there. I'm going to leave first."
After saying that, Lin Jingshu bowed towards him, like an elegant cloud, unhurried. floated away.
June 29, new star calendar year 275, 22:00 cosmic time. The Watteau Union parliament hall is still brightly lit, the dance is about to end, the gentlemen and ladies are saying goodbye, the forest park is whispering in the night wind, and the forest of monuments is silent.
Under the peaceful Silver Fortress, Mecha Zhanlu sleeps alone in a top-secret place. Except for the head of the Silver Fortress, no one has the right to set foot in it, so no one notices that there is a small chip on the access control. He plugged it in and invaded Zhanlu's energy system.
There was a soft "beep" sound.
Zhan Lu, who was sleeping, had no intention of being disturbed.
All the heavy weapons collectively let out a sigh, and the lights went dark, and then a sharp siren pierced the sky.
"Abnormal energy source!"
"The first backup energy system cannot be activated -"
"The second backup system cannot be activated!"
"The third backup system is out of control..."
"The energy network is under attack!"
"Unknown detection outside the artificial atmosphere "Flying object."
"The defense system is on level one alert...the defense system is off...the alert...is off...the defense system commands are confused, unable to connect, unable to connect..."
Admiral Li got up in a fit of pee. He had never seen anything like this before. Zhen Zhan was stunned for a moment, and then the hairs all over his body exploded - Silver Fortress was attacked!
The Silver Fortress is an important military base and is impregnable. It is the last sharp sword of the Alliance Military Commission. Only when emergencies occur in other galaxies and cannot be handled, will the Silver Fortress be urgently reported to request support. Who dares to disturb Tai Sui?
This is impossible.
However, the next moment, the guard commander rushed in: "General, the defense system is in chaos. At least a thousand hyperspace heavy mechas have passed through the artificial atmosphere."
"What..."
"Boom--" There was a loud noise, and the ground was violent. The ground shook, General Li stumbled against the wall, and fire shot into the sky.
At the same time, on the capital star, Secretary-General Gordon said goodbye to his colleagues and took his wife home in the car. The low-profile mount has the defense system of a mecha vehicle, but is very light. It can travel smoothly on the suspended lane, and the people in the car can hardly feel any noise or vibration.
Gurdon was a little tipsy and was afraid of annoying his wife. Before getting in the car, he asked Eden to adjust the alcohol concentration in his body. He held the woman's soft and slender hand. The secretary-general's pride at being praised by everyone had not yet dissipated, and he said with a cheerful face: "They invited Yevgenia to sing at the ball. Did you see her? But it's really hard to look closely at a woman packaged like this. Compared with you, it's just... haha - how are you, are you happy today? "
Happy," Lin Jingshu gently shook his hand, "Today it's me..."
The car suddenly stopped, the dashboard flashed an unusual light, the artificial intelligence inside was silent, and the car was suspended like dust. In mid-air orbit.
Gordon asked strangely: "What's going on?"
Lin Jingshu raised her head.
The bodyguard sitting in the front row immediately stood up to check. At this time, the artificial intelligence in the car spoke intermittently: "The system has suffered an unknown attack and has automatically pushed the security system... Bah..."
Gordon frowned: "What? "
At this moment, a row of small mecha vehicles suddenly rushed out of the darkness, and the security system of the track showed no response at all! The secretary-general's bodyguards immediately realized that this was an assassination!
The bodyguard car swarmed up, and the sound of firefights immediately sounded. Gordon cursed, tightened his grip on Lin Jingshu's hand, and shouted at the bodyguard: "What are you doing standing still, idiot? Activate the space field and send us away first!" The bodyguard
responded, "Yes." ", and quickly opened the safety door under the driver's seat. The emergency space field was inside. Gordon thought he was slow, so he pushed him away. He quickly entered the command, turned around and said to Lin Jingshu: "The space field transmission is uncomfortable. You..."
"Be patient," the words were not uttered. The artificial intelligence in the car suddenly went crazy, and a laser knife popped out of the space field, instantly cutting Secretary-General Gordon in half.
The bodyguard and Lin Jingshu were silent for a moment. Gordon kept looking at his wife, his eyes seemed shocked.
The next moment, his whole body split into two, and the blood all over his body splashed out like a fountain, spraying all over Lin Jingshu.
The bodyguard shouted: "Madam, get out of the way!"
Lin Jingshu was carried and rolled out. Where no one saw her, she stuck out her tongue and licked the blood splattered on the corner of her mouth.
"It's hot," she thought, "and quite sweet."
Then she let out a well-timed scream, as if she had just returned to her place.
Zhan Lu, who was far away in the eighth galaxy, seemed to feel something, and his whole body suddenly stopped there as if in a panic. The cup he was filling with hot water was full, and the boiling water spilled on his hand.
Fourth brother suddenly looked up.
The rain is coming——
