Long Jiu is indeed not sad. After all, it happened tens of thousands of years ago. Moreover, she was also a young dragon cub that had just hatched out of its shell. In fact, Long Jiu had no impression of her stillborn brother. She just knew I have a twin brother, and I feel regretful when I think about it.
She used to name her mecha Long Shiyi because she really couldn't think of a good name at the time. Then a flash of inspiration came to Long Jiu. She thought that calling her exclusive mecha Jackie Long Shiyi would be like... Made up for my regrets.
If her twin brother could survive, maybe he would fight alongside her like her mecha...
Thinking of this, Long Jiu suddenly remembered the domineering nature of their dragon clan. Then she immediately shook her head and sighed in her heart. How could she fight alongside her? If that younger brother was still alive, I'm afraid he would have beaten you to death if he wasn't in the den.
The four of them returned to their respective dormitories and found the military backpacks they had just received along with their clothes from the logistics department. Then they neatly put some changes of clothes into the backpacks, waiting to take them with them early tomorrow morning. meeting point.
In the evening, the four of them had dinner in Zhou Xinyu's dormitory. She and Han Jiaojiao were indeed socially awkward. In the afternoon, when Long Jiu and Li Muchuan were resting in their respective dormitories, they actually ran out again. He even got involved with some veterans downstairs and actually bought fresh ingredients from the canteen. The two of them also bought an electronic pot and cooked hot pot in the dormitory that night.
The small folding square table is placed on the balcony of the living room. The spicy and rich aroma of the hot pot runs all the way along the balcony. Occasionally, you can hear someone passing by downstairs telling his companions that he doesn’t know which dormitory is cooking hot pot again. , I feel greedy just by smelling it.
The four people cooking hot pot upstairs sat around the small square table and stared at the soup base in the electronic pot. After seeing the soup base begin to stir, the four people couldn't wait to pick up their favorite food. Pour the vegetables into the pot.
Seeing that the pot was almost full, Han Jiaojiao shouted quickly: "Stop! This pot is too small, you can't put too many dishes in it!!!"
Long Jiu glanced at the plate of beef in his hand reluctantly, and put the plate down again with regret.
Zhou Xinyu also put down the plate of fresh shrimps in her hand and said regretfully: "If I had known earlier, we should have bought that big pot."
Han Jiaojiao rolled her eyes after hearing this, "It's not that you dislike the color of that big pot and insist on buying this one."
Zhou Xinyu sighed, "Who let this pink-blue color hit my heart right away? This color is just for young and beautiful girls like us."
Li Muchuan was scalding a piece of beef. After hearing what she said, he silently looked up at Zhou Xinyu and asked in a faint tone, "Why don't I want to eat it after you said that?"
Long Jiu stared straight at the snowflake beef rolls she had just poured into the pot, and said without raising her eyes: "Fourth girl, you can also use this color."
After saying this, Han Jiaojiao and Zhou Xinyu burst into laughter again.
Li Muchuan put the cooked beef into the bowl and sighed: "I shouldn't tell you this today. Now I can already think that this nickname may stay with me for the rest of my life."
Zhou Xinyu chuckled and said, "Isn't this great? We are four golden flowers."
Han Jiaojiao almost burst into tears from laughter, and she almost lost her grip on the chopsticks in her hands. While shaking her hands to fish out vegetables in the pot, she said happily: "When we become generals in the future, this nickname will definitely be given to us." It will spread throughout the empire.”
"If you want to be a general, you have to risk your life on the battlefield." Long Jiu picked up several pieces of snowflake beef with chopsticks and put it into a bowl. While dipping it in the sauce, he said: "Look at me, I am still from the Long family. I am the only heir to the army, but the old man just threw me in and started as a soldier."
Han Jiaojiao glanced at her sideways, "Soldier? Squad 131 is the vanguard squad of the mecha team. The commander-in-chief sent you here with a plan. As long as you have the ability, Squad 131 is the best place to accumulate merit. "
Zhou Xinyu nodded: "Stop complaining. If the commander directly asks you to parachute in and become a general, let's not talk about whether it is in compliance with the rules or not. There will definitely be people who are dissatisfied privately. I will throw you to Team 131 and let you rely on your own strength." Meritorious achievements based on strength are the real results. Even if you take over the position of commander-in-chief in the future, no one in the entire Long Family Army will object."
How could Long Jiu not know Long Jihuai's intentions? She just wanted to complain about the old man out of habit.
Long Jiu ate the meat silently and said nothing.
Li Muchuan looked around and suddenly asked in confusion: "Are we missing something?"
Long Jiu looked up at him, and Zhou Xinyu and Han Jiaojiao asked in confusion at the same time: "What's missing?"
Li Muchuan looked at the three of them and said with a smile: "Let's go out for drinks."
Zhou Xinyu immediately rolled her eyes, got up and went back to the living room, "You're still going out for a drink. You know you're going out for a fight tomorrow morning, but you still dare to drink. Are you too brave?"
As she said that, she took out a big bag from behind the sofa and came back. Then she slowly took out a few bottles of juice from the bag and handed them to them, "Drink the juice, just treat it as a battle drink."
The four people opened the juice and sat around the small square table. There was a steaming hot pot in the middle. Under the white mist, the four people raised the cans and bumped them together in mid-air.
"Good luck."
"Peace be upon you."
"Glory to you."
"Wish you a great victory."
"cheers-------!"
After drinking and eating, Long Jiu and the others helped Zhou Xinyu clean up the dormitory, and then each returned to their dormitory with full stomachs.
It's actually not too late now, looking at the time, it's just a little after eight o'clock in the evening.
After Long Jiu returned to the dormitory, he didn't know what to do. He simply ran to take a shower, then dragged a chair to the balcony to watch the stars while drying his freshly washed hair.
Although it was not too late now, the dormitory area was very quiet now. Long Jiu stared at the starry sky and counted the time silently in his mind. A certain emperor who had been blocked had not contacted him for almost eight hours. , I may be anxious now...
While Long Jiu was thinking this, he silently opened his personal terminal and released a certain emperor from the blacklist.
As a result, His Majesty the Emperor, who had just been released from the blacklist, called for video communication two seconds after being released.
Long Jiu stared at the video and asked, wondering if he had been beating him since he was blocked, right?
Long Jiu accepted the video request. As soon as the two parties were connected, Xiao Tingyun's voice came over before the picture.
"Baby, I was wrong."
Long Jiu looked at the people appearing on the virtual screen and raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Tingyun's attitude of admitting his mistake was very sincere, "I shouldn't have laughed. You were so angry. Not only did I not help you scold Shen Qiao, but I also laughed out loud. It's my fault."
Long Jiu squinted his eyes, looked at Xiao Tingyun across from him, quietly paid attention to the environment around him, and then discovered something was wrong.
Xiao Tingyun was not in the study or in the palace, but seemed to be on a flying car.
Long Jiu stopped pretending to be angry and asked directly: "Have you left the palace?"
Xiao Tingyun looked at her and blinked, and Long Jiu asked again: "Where are you going when you leave the palace?"
Xiao Tingyun then laughed, changed his guilty expression, and said, "Go back to the Prince's Mansion."
But Long Jiu said in surprise: "What are you going back to the Prince's Mansion for?"
Since Xiao Tingyun succeeded to the throne, the former Prince's Mansion has become vacant. Although there are still people there, the Prince's Mansion is almost empty.
Xiao Tingyun smiled and said: "Go find something. The housekeeper left some documents and books when he was packing things last time. I just need them now, so I just left the palace and went to get them myself."
"Oh, that's it." Long Jiu said "oh" and stopped asking any more questions. Xiao Tingyun, on the other hand, stared at her side seriously for several times and asked, "Are you in the dormitory now? "
"Yes." Long Jiu specially turned the camera to show Xiao Tingyun the dormitory behind him, and then looked at the starry sky outside the balcony and said cheerfully: "I had hot pot in Xiao Yu'er's dormitory before. When I come back I took a shower and came here to watch the stars. How about it? Isn’t it beautiful?”
Looking from the balcony of Long Jiu's dormitory, one could just see a green and white nebula.
Xiao Tingyun listened to her cheerful tone and said with a smile: "Yes, beautiful. It seems that I don't need to ask you whether you are used to it or not. You seem to be very adaptable."
"That's right." Long Jiu said proudly: "What can't I adapt to? I can make a living well."
After hearing what she said, Xiao Tingyun actually nodded without conscience, not even mentioning how picky and squeamish Long Jiu was at ordinary times, and coaxed along with her words: "Then can you tell me that my baby is so easy to take care of? What plans does the commander have for you?"
When Long Jihuai was mentioned, Long Jiu immediately snorted, "He is not on Hongyan Star. When I first arrived today, Ge Yang came to pick me up."
"Huh?" Xiao Tingyun said in surprise: "Didn't the Marshal just return?"
"I just came back and immediately went to the safety fortress." Long Jiu said: "I heard from Ge Yang that the Sixth Galaxy is not peaceful recently. There is a group of interstellar wanderers running around in the Sixth Galaxy and robbed several passenger starships and Merchant ship. The old man was afraid that there would be problems with the security fortress, so he went to take charge of it himself."
Xiao Tingyun frowned when he heard this, "A group of interstellar wanderers also robbed passenger starships and merchant ships? Why didn't the Imperial City receive any news?"
Long Jiu: "This incident just happened a few days ago, so the news hasn't spread yet, and the Long Family Army has already sent people out to inspect. I was thrown into the 131st team of the mecha battle by the old man, and I will be with the 131st team tomorrow. Let’s go on an interstellar patrol together.”
"Team 131?" Xiao Tingyun looked surprised, and then smiled: "It seems that the commander-in-chief is trying to help you gain military merit. Among the Long Family Army's mecha teams, there are four teams: 131, 231, 331, and 431. It’s the Sharp Knife Team, and everyone who can get in is the best of the best.”
Long Jiu really didn't know. She heard Han Jiaojiao say something before during dinner that she hadn't realized how powerful Team 131 was. But after hearing what Xiao Tingyun said, Long Jiu finally realized it, and then she Be happy.
When she was happy, her whole body became sweeter.
Long Jiu was like a piece of sweet cake at this moment, and his voice became much sweeter, "Oh, it seems that I misunderstood the old man. If he is discerning, I should join Team 131. Brother, just wait and see. , I will definitely be able to accumulate a lot of military merit."
Xiao Tingyun had no doubts about Long Jiu's ability to accumulate military merit, but he still couldn't help but warned: "Don't be too naughty, and don't rely on your ability to dare regardless of the danger. Go forward."
Long Jiu nodded in agreement, but the agreement was very perfunctory. When Xiao Tingyun saw her expression, he knew that Pipilong didn't take her words to heart at all, and he immediately grinded his teeth in anger.
However, the two of them were separated by a distant star, and Xiao Tingyun couldn't bite her even if he wanted to.
Thinking of this, Xiao Tingyun suddenly said: "By the way, your dormitory has been determined. Is it time for the baby to get out the teleportation array gate?"
If he hadn't said it, Long Jiu would have really forgotten it, but Long Jiu thought about it and said, "I will gather early tomorrow morning for an interstellar patrol. Let's do it after I come back from this patrol."
Xiao Tingyun thought about it and felt it was right, so he nodded in agreement.
The two of them chatted in a sticky manner until after nine o'clock, before Long Jiu said, "That's it for now. I'm going to bed. There will be a meeting early tomorrow morning. If there is a chance during the inspection, I will talk to you again." Get in touch.”
Xiao Tingyun also knew what was appropriate. Although he was also reluctant to give up, he still nodded and said: "Okay, good night, baby."
"Yes." Long Jiu kissed Xiao Tingyun sweetly across the virtual screen, and said with a smile: "I'm going to bed. Brother will go back to the palace early after finding the things. You will also go to the court early tomorrow morning. "
Xiao Tingyun looked at her with a smile and nodded. After Long Jiu ended the video call, he raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows.
In fact, his speed car had already arrived at the Prince's Mansion when he first connected to Long Jiu via video, but he did not get out of the car and had been sitting in the car chatting with Long Jiu until now.
The video call ended at this moment, and Lu Wei, who had been sitting in the driver's seat in silence for almost an hour, silently shouted: "Your Majesty?"
The smile on Xiao Tingyun's face disappeared. He glanced sideways out of the window and said calmly: "I'll go by myself. You stay here and wait."
Lu Wei nodded silently and watched Xiao Tingyun open the door and get out of the car.
Xiao Tingyun actually deceived Long Jiu. He didn't go back to the Prince's Mansion to get any documents or books, but went directly to the underground prison of the Prince's Mansion.
There was only one person locked up in the secret cell, and that was Lu Qingzhu. Xiao Tingyun came to see her today.
There were no guards in the cold secret prison. It was completely mechanized inside and out. The only one who could open it was Xiao Tingyun.
And there is no need for anyone to guard this place, because there is no need.
Xiao Tingyun went down to the secret cell alone and saw Lu Qingzhu in the cell at the end of the corridor.
Lu Qingzhu still looks like that monster, but all the spider legs have been cut off. Her body is wrapped with metal chains as thick as her arms. She is tied up like a rice dumpling, and the only one that can move is Only the head is left.
Lu Qingzhu was facing the cell door, so when Xiao Tingyun stood outside the door, Lu Qingzhu saw him at a glance.
She struggled hard, and the metal chains tied to her body made a clattering sound, making her look intrusive in this cold and quiet dark prison.
Lu Qingzhu stared at Xiao Tingyun with wide eyes and said with a ferocious expression: "Xiao Tingyun, you rebellious son, do you finally dare to come to see me?"
Xiao Tingyun looked at her quietly and did not speak.
Lu Qingzhu wished he could eat him alive. "You, a little beast, locked your biological mother in a secret prison and you are not afraid of retribution? You dare not come to see me for so long. Are you afraid? You treat your biological mother like this." ....."
Before Lu Qingzhu could finish speaking, Xiao Tingyun laughed softly.
Lu Qingzhu froze for a moment, but Xiao Tingyun laughed louder and happier.
His reaction and smile made Lu Qingzhu inexplicably shudder, because she had never seen Xiao Tingyun smile like this before, not when she was a child, and even less when she grew up, no matter when she was a child or when she grew up. , Xiao Tingyun gives people the impression of being gentle and dignified. Even when he smiles when he is happy, he is very restrained.
But now there was a huge contrast in Xiao Tingyun's reaction.
Lu Qingzhu stared at him speechless for a moment, but Xiao Tingyun, after laughing, looked at her and chuckled: "Retribution? Scared? Dare not see you? You are so naive, it's not that I don't dare to see you, But I can't take any time for a while, and I am finally afraid? What am I afraid of? Aren't you the one who should be afraid? There is also retribution, what is retribution? I am retribution, your retribution."
"You..." Lu Qingzhu's ferocious expression froze on her face. She stared at Xiao Tingyun suspiciously for a long time. Then, as if she understood something, she laughed and said: "This It's you, the real you, let me tell you, you were born to me, how could you not be like me? The Lu family all called me a monster, but in fact you are also a monster, but you are born to be better at pretending than me, so No one noticed it."
Lu Qingzhu burst out laughing. She laughed happily and proudly, as if she had a sense of pleasure after revenge, "Xiao Tingyun, no matter how good you pretend, it can't change that you and I are the same kind of people. You said you smoked You don’t have time to come see me? It’s actually because that little bitch from the Long family has been by your side, right? You were afraid that she would find out that you are a cold-blooded and ruthless monster like me, so you never dared to come to see me. Now you are here , is it because that little bitch is no longer with you? I remember she was still a student, right? Is she going back to school? "
Xiao Tingyun looked at her expressionlessly, and Lu Qingzhu became even more proud when he saw that he didn't refute, "You said that if she finds out that you are a monster like me, how will she react? I just think about it now. interesting."
Lu Qingzhu: "Xiao Tingyun, you hurt that little bitch so much in your heart, but once a person like you is discovered, no one will ever love you again. You will be the same as me, haha Ha ha......."
"It seems I wasn't right when I said you were naive." Xiao Tingyun said calmly: "You are not only naive, you are also stupid."
Lu Qingzhu's laughter stopped suddenly, and she glared at Xiao Tingyun fiercely.
Xiao Tingyun: "It is true that I came here without telling her, but I was not afraid that she would know what kind of person I was. My fiancée knew clearly what kind of person I was from the beginning. I didn't know what kind of person I was in front of her. There’s no pretense.”
"The reason why I waited for her to leave before coming was because I didn't want you to affect my mood when we were together." Xiao Tingyun smiled and said, "Every time I see you, it affects me. You can be considered tolerant of my good mood."
Xiao Tingyun ignored Lu Qingzhu's vicious eyes and continued: "You are stupid because you know that you are in my hands now, and yet you dare to challenge my bottom line again and again without any scruples. Do you really think that I can't Did anything to you?"
Lu Qingzhu said sternly: "What do you want to do to me? How dare you!"
Xiao Tingyun chuckled, "What do I dare not do? Although my grandfather has completely given up on you now, since I promised him back then, I will not break my promise. I will not take your life, because I found that it is better to let you live." In fact, it can relieve my hatred more than letting you die, and it can also comfort my grandfather at the same time, so why not do it."
Lu Qingzhu's expression changed slightly. She didn't think that Xiao Tingyun kept her alive just because he wanted her to be locked up in a secret prison until she died.
really!
I saw Xiao Tingyun looking at her with a smile and said: "Starting from tomorrow, I will let someone bring in the latest treatment cabin, specially prepared for you. And from tomorrow on, you will be responsible for what you have committed." Start atoning for your sins, but don’t worry, I won’t let you die. As long as you are still breathing, I will have people rescue you. You have to live to atone for your sins.”
Lu Qingzhu became afraid unconsciously after listening to his words. She said with a stern expression, "What are you going to do to me?"
"We'll find out tomorrow," Xiao Tingyun said with a faint smile. He didn't tell Lu Qingzhu what he was going to do at all. He only tortured her by hanging her like this, because the unknown was the scariest thing.
Seeing the sudden change in Lu Qingzhu's expression, Xiao Tingyun stood outside and admired it quietly for a while, then turned around and prepared to leave. However, before leaving, he specifically said to Lu Qingzhu: "Oh, by the way, don't think about anyone. Even those Abyssal clans you collude with will come to rescue you, because I have set up a self-destruct program for the entire secret prison."
He said to Lu Qingzhu in a good mood: "You know, once someone wants to force their way in to save you, the self-destruction program will be activated immediately. When the time comes..." He gently With a smile, "Bang, you and the people who came to save you will be killed together with the Prince's Mansion above. Even the Abyss Clan will not be an exception."
Lu Qingzhu froze on the spot, and then after Xiao Tingyun turned around and left, she suddenly cursed excitedly.
Lu Qingzhu cursed her very dirty and viciously, but Xiao Tingyun was not moved at all. He even treated her curses as background sound and walked out of the secret cell in a good mood.
Xiao Tingyun never let go of the smile on his face until the secret cell was closed and he saw Lu Wei who had been waiting outside.
