Chapter 5
Chapter 5
In the morning, Qi Yan was woken up by the notification sound from his personal terminal, and when he connected to the communication, Xia Zhiyang's cheerful voice came across: "Qi Yan, Chen Mingxuan and I will be there in an hour!"
Qi Yan closed his eyes and said "OK", after hanging up the communication, he lingered on the bed for another half an hour before getting up.
When he went downstairs in his slippers, Lu Fenghan had already finished his daily quantitative exercise and made a simple breakfast just like every morning before.
Qi Yan has never understood why some people can be so self-disciplined, as if a chip is embedded in their body to strictly control their biological clock at any time.
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why Lu Fenghan wakes up on time at seven o'clock every morning, while he usually wakes up between nine o'clock and eleven o'clock.
After eating two slices of bread baked by the bread machine, Qi Yan drank the water in the cup and thought: "Xia Zhiyang and Chen Mingxuan will arrive in 10 minutes."
"Come here to give you clothes to wear tonight?"
"Well, and a tailor."
"Tailor?" The term confused Lu Fenghan for a few seconds, then he raised his eyebrows, "This profession should only survive on a planet like Leto."
Holding the empty cup, Qi Yan agreed with Lu Fenghan's statement: "Yes."
Being able to pursue this inefficient and retro lifestyle is a manifestation of it.
Ten minutes later, Xia Zhiyang and Chen Mingxuan appeared at the door on time.
As soon as he entered the door, Xia Zhiyang exclaimed: "Isn't it great to live alone? But, pray, your place is a bit too empty, either gray or white, isn't it deserted to live by yourself?"
Qi Yan corrected him: "Two people."
"That's right," Xia Zhiyang didn't hesitate, pointing to the person he brought, "Leto's most famous custom studio, since we were young, Chen Mingxuan and I have had our clothes made by their tailors. No two outfits are the same."
The brown-haired middle-aged man with a tape measure in his hand said with a smile: "It is our honor to gain the trust of the two of you."
Xia Zhiyang sat down on the sofa unceremoniously, "I gave you a good chance, the clothes are made, we hope you will be satisfied, and your business will be indispensable in the future!"
The tailor smiled and thanked him.
After Qi Yan stood up, his arms naturally dropped, and the tailor half-kneeled on one knee beside Qi Yan, and said in a low voice, "I'm offended."
After finishing speaking, he pulled out the soft ruler and put it close to Qi Yan's wrist, ready to measure the data of the wrist.
"pain."
The tailor didn't respond: "What did you say?"
Xia Zhiyang and Chen Mingxuan were chatting, when they heard what Qiyan said, they also looked over: "Qiyan, what's wrong?"
Qi Yan stood where he was, without saying a word.
The first person to react was Lu Fenghan - tsk, there is a little problem of being delicate and afraid of pain.
After all, if the tip of the blade of grass pierces the earlobe, it can be called an injury.
He walked over in two steps and reached out to the tailor: "Is the tape measure new? Give it to me, tell me what data I need, and I'll measure it."
"It's new, first time use."
Before the tailor could react, he subconsciously obeyed Lu Fenghan's words and handed over the tape measure.
It wasn't until Lu Fenghan unfolded the soft ruler that he suddenly came back to his senses.
Feeling ashamed to ask for the tape measure again, the tailor had no choice but to tell Lu Fenghan in a low voice what data needed to be measured.Then Lu Fenghan will operate it, and he will record it.
Guessing that the sharp edge of the new soft ruler scratched the back of his hand, Lu Fenghan sighed in his heart, how did Qiyan survive until now, and leaned over to measure the data for him.
From wrist to arm length to shoulder width.
When measuring the waist, Lu Fenghan stood in front of Qi Yan, half hugging the person, one hand stretched back from the side of the waist, and the other hand coordinated with the soft ruler to wrap around Qi Yan's waist.
Tightening the tape measure, Lu Fenghan looked down at the value, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "How long is it, huh? It's so thin."
Because they were too close, Qi Yan's nose was filled with Lu Fenghan's extremely aggressive breath, and he could even slightly feel the body temperature of the other party.
Prayer ignored him.
Lu Fenghan didn't care, and wrapped the soft ruler around his fingertips twice, "Lift your chin, now you're measuring the circumference of the collar." He then commented, "It's really troublesome to make clothes."
Qi Yan raised his head according to his words, revealing his fair and slender neck, his Adam's apple was slightly protruding, making people subconsciously want to grind that arc with his fingertips.
Lu Fenghan quickly followed the tailor's instructions, and wrapped the measuring tape around to confirm the number.
When retracting the tape measure, the movement is very light.
After reporting the data one by one, the tailor asked again: "Do you have any specific requirements for the material of the clothes?"
Touching his itchy neck, Qi Yan looked at the tape measure in the tailor's hand, paused, and replied, "I'm used to wearing silk shirts."
The tailor wrote down: "Okay, the clothes will be delivered to you this afternoon."
Pray: "Thank you."
After the tailor left, Xia Zhiyang slumped on the sofa and said, "Come, come, it's still half a day before night! Do you want to play a game?"
Chen Mingxuan's sitting posture was much more regular, and Zhao Qiyan raised the game terminal in his hand: ""Glory of the Empire" is online today, do you want to try it?"
Xia Zhiyang was in high spirits: "Qiyan, what games do you usually play?"
Qi Yan shook his head: "I don't play games."
Whether it was "Glory of the Empire" or anything else, he had never touched it.
Xia Zhiyang was surprised, and remembered that Qiyan had been living on a remote planet in the Messier region before. Maybe the elders in the family were still strict, so he shouted: "How can you miss the excitement of the game! Come, let us show you New world!"
Leto's sidereal year is 360 days, 3 hours, 9 minutes, and 34 seconds. In the calendar, according to the tradition of the earth's calendar, it is divided into twelve months, with 30 days in each month and 24 hours in a day.
August is the summer, and the sky gets dark relatively late, until after seven o'clock in the evening. The double moons unique to Leto are like the eyes of the sky in the blue sky.
Qijia's hall has been newly decorated, brightly lit, and under the three-story dome, there are countless golden notes floating rhythmically with the music.
Jiang Yunyue was wearing a gorgeous dress, which made her waist very thin. Her appearance was not very outstanding, but her temperament was gentle and elegant.
"Today, you are the center of everyone's attention." Jiang Yunyue gently smoothed Jiang Qi's collar herself, "When Mengge comes, remember to behave well, so that when you graduate from Turan and enter the army It will definitely be smoother if Fang takes up a civilian position."
Jiang Qi looks like his mother, and he has been pampered and pampered for more than ten years, which makes him a little more noble than his peers.He nodded: "Don't worry, you and Dad won't lose face. However, Menger is only a colonel when it comes to military rank. Why does Dad regard him as a guest?"
"What do you mean 'just a colonel'? You are used to seeing administrative officials coming and going in and out of your home, so you say that." Jiang Yunyue smiled and nodded Jiang Qi's nose, and then explained, "The military...no The same. The military is at the same level as the administrative system. In fact, it will be half a level higher, because they hold real power, and they have a clear internal structure and a self-contained system. It is very difficult for outsiders to deal with it. You don’t understand now, it’s okay , just do what mom says."
Thinking of the news she received a while ago, Jiang Yunyue was worried: "If that person comes—"
Jiang Qi: "I want to call him brother."
"Also, he lived in the Messier region since he was a child, and he can't compare with Leto there, so he will definitely have a lot of discomfort—"
"As a younger brother, I will take good care of him," the mother and son tacitly said, Jiang Qi showed a harmless smile, "I remember."
Munger arrived exactly at eight o'clock.
Qi Wenshao and Jiang Yunyue took Jiang Qi up to meet them. After the two exchanged pleasantries, Qi Wenshao put his hands on Jiang Qi's shoulders: "Come, Jiang Qi, say hello to Uncle Menger."
Jiang Qi said hello politely.
"Hello," Menger said lightly, wearing a military uniform, "It's good to be admitted to Tulane College."
Jiang Yunyue smiled and said, "Where, although this kid is smart, his temperament is not stable. Wen Shao and I worry about it every day. As for the future, maybe he will have to rely on his uncles to take care of him."
Menger nodded, but didn't answer.
In order to avoid embarrassment, Qi Wenshao brought up a new topic, and someone approached with a wine glass and naturally joined the chat.Jiang Yunyue, who was good at dancing, took advantage of this opportunity to push Jiang Qi in front of everyone.
Jiang Qi talked to these elders who appeared in the news from time to time, enjoying the feeling of being noticed and praised by everyone, while looking around.
The prayer has not come yet.
He couldn't help laughing in his heart, he came later than Colonel Munger, he really came from a remote planet, and he didn't know the rules.
At this moment, he already understood what Jiang Yunyue said, it was difficult to deal with people in the military who held real power.
The most obvious thing is that many people gathered around him are targeting Menger.And Munger is obviously very comfortable with such enthusiasm, and he handles it seamlessly.
This gave him a vague idea of the "military".
While everyone was talking and laughing, the door of the hall was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Gradually, the surrounding voices slowly decreased, and half of the people turned their eyes to the entrance.
Jiang Qi also followed everyone's gaze in a strange way.
The first person to step into the gilt-carved gate was a young man in a black suit, tailored to fit his body shape, accurately depicting his slender and straight lines.
Anyone has to admit that this man is indeed loved by creation.The nose is narrow, the bridge of the nose is straight, the eyebrows are sharp, the lips are thin and the lines are fine, like an oil painting with rich colors.Because of the cold and white complexion, there was an unbearable sense of fragility.
Under the lamp, he is like a flower blooming on a cliff, high and far away, noble and alienated.
Some kind of premonition hit his head, and Jiang Qi heard his heartbeat suddenly lose its rhythm.
His hand, which was hanging by the side, was grabbed by his mother so hard that the nails even sank into the flesh.
Regardless of the pain, he looked at his mother's stiff smile, then looked at the door, and an incredible idea popped up crazily!
Not possible to be--
Xia Zhiyang, who was behind Qiyan, spoke in a low voice: "These people, why are their eyes straight as if they have never seen the world?"
Chen Mingxuan put his hands in his pockets and yelled at him: "When a certain person came out after changing his clothes, it's fine if he couldn't close his mouth. His eyeballs almost fell off the carpet."
"I'm Jingyan! Do you understand Jingyan? Who knew that Qiyan just changed his clothes, and that aura, that temperament, came up after a while?" Xia Zhiyang sighed deliberately again, "Although I knew it a long time ago, together with Qiyan No one will notice me when I enter the door, but when it comes to this time, I feel so disappointed!"
Chen Mingxuan also smiled: "Pay attention to Jiang Qi's expression, it's quite exciting."
Everyone's attention was on Qiyan, and no one saw it. Menger stared at the person who was following behind Qiyan and entered the door together, his pupils trembled, and his masseter muscles tensed instantly.
As the center of everyone's attention, Qi Yan didn't notice it.
The moment he opened the door and came in, the strong fragrance made him feel that the air was dull. He raised his hand, curled his fingers, and loosened the black tie at the collar of his white shirt.
He didn't pay attention to Qi Wenshao's gaze, and Jiang Yunyue and Jiang Qi were classified as strangers and ignored.Qi Yan led Lu Fenghan, Xia Zhiyang and Chen Mingxuan to a corner and sat down.
Munger's gums were sour, and he barely restrained himself without losing his composure.For the first time, he took the initiative to ask the host of the banquet, asking what everyone around him wanted to ask: "Who just came in?"
Qi Wenshao was a little surprised, and then replied: "That is my eldest son."
He didn't even mention his name, obviously he didn't want to say more.
But the people around them more or less understood.
For a moment, the gazes towards Jiang Yunyue and Jiang Qi took on other meanings.
Jiang Yunyue's smile was still generous and gentle, but Jiang Qi felt quite embarrassed, and smiled reluctantly at Menger: "My brother used to live with his grandparents in the Messier area, and he just came back recently. I'm sorry for his rudeness just now." , I apologize to you."
Meng Ge seemed to be thinking about something, and ignored Jiang Qi's apology.
Many people around praised Jiang Qi for being considerate of his brother, but they couldn't help making comparisons in their hearts.
Jiang Qi is not bad-looking, and he has practiced etiquette well, but compared to the young man who just entered the door——
Not even close.
In other words, two people should not be compared together.
Xia Zhiyang tossed a red misty fruit that he grabbed from the fruit plate, and looked around the field, seeing many people looking at Qi Yan, and then at Jiang Qi beside Qi Wenshao, he was happy.
He recruited a service robot, let it peel Wuguo's skin, and dropped the book bag with Chen Mingxuan: "I think many people are missing such a sentence now."
"What?"
"Forgive the fluorescent light of rotten grass, how can it compare with the bright moon of the heart of heaven?"
Chen Mingxuan understood: "Well, yes, this sentence really fits the situation and can be used."
On the side, Qi Yan asked for a glass of water, swallowed it slowly, and took another sip.
From time to time, he cast doubtful eyes on Lu Fenghan.
Why hasn't he left yet.
When he entered the door, he clearly saw Mengge's sudden change of expression, and his eyes fell on Lu Fenghan standing behind him.
He believed that it was impossible for Lu Fenghan not to see it.
So, why did Lu Fenghan sit next to him and still not leave?
And Lu Fenghan was inexplicably sized up by Qi Yan's eyes.
It wasn't until Qi Yan drank the second glass of water in small sips that Lu Fenghan said, "I'll leave for a while, and I'll be back in a few minutes."
Qi Yan supported his temples with his hands, and nodded slightly: "Okay."
Hearing that Qi Yan didn't ask anything, he directly agreed, Lu Fenghan stood up, put another glass of water in front of Qi Yan, and then walked away.
A corner of Qijia's building protruded and turned into a greenhouse. Going forward, there is a garden landscaping with a rockery.
Lu Fenghan stood in the shadow of the rockery, avoiding the surveillance range, and waited.
Within a minute, there were deliberately light footsteps approaching hurriedly.
Menger clearly saw the person standing in the shadow of the rockery, and stopped three steps away, his heels clapped together, his fingers trembling, and he gave a standard alliance military salute to Lu Fenghan.
Lu Fenghan raised his hand, put his fingertips together at the end of his eyebrows, and lazily returned the salute.
As Menger approached, countless questions rolled in his throat, and finally he only shouted: "Commander Lu."
"Here," Lu Fenghan thought about praying and was still waiting, and got straight to the point, "What happened after I died?"
Menger originally thought that he was hallucinating, or that he had identified the wrong person, but now that he heard Lu Fenghan say "after I die", he felt more real.
The conditioned reflex developed in the army allowed him to quickly calm down from the excitement.
"According to the information I got, on July 21st in the star calendar, you led people overnight to support the leading fleet that lost contact. After the transition, when you reached the outermost edge of the battle circle, you were ambushed by the enemy." He waited for a second before saying. The next word, "None survived."
"Our reconnaissance ship and salvage ship, after arriving at the incident site, only saw countless starship fragments floating in the universe. Then, due to the cosmic storm caused by the big bang, the reconnaissance ship was forced to return quickly after confirming that there was no breath of life. "
Lu Fenghan was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth: "So, apart from knowing that everyone is dead, you didn't find anything else?"
His voice is hoarse and cold, like the sand covered by tens of degrees below zero on some planets that are not suitable for human habitation.
hall.
Qi Yan sat on the chair and took only two sips of the clear water in front of him.He tapped his personal terminal, a wrist protruding from the pure white cuff, with a sculptural beauty.
Xia Zhiyang who was sitting opposite was curious: "Qiyan, what are you looking at?"
Qi Yan didn't lift his eyes: "Watch the news."
At the same time, he successfully hacked into the monitoring system and erased all the images of Lu Fenghan walking from the lobby to behind the rockery.When exiting, by the way, all the video recording functions of the service robots were turned off, and the stored images were also deleted.
After doing this, he called up the page of "Leto Daily", and just read a few lines, when he found someone approaching.
The other party stopped in front of him and said, "Hello."
After the rockery.
Out of biological intuition, Menger already broke out in a layer of cold sweat on his back.
This man who graduated from the First Military Academy, joined the Expeditionary Force at the age of 19, and has a reputation all over the front lines of the Southern Cross Region, is not as easy-talking as some Leto people think.
He has served as the "mouthpiece" of the Central Army Corps and the Expeditionary Army for five years, and he knows that a jungle animal like Lu Fenghan is like a fish in water on the front line, and he has gradually become the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary army.
The night wind that blew past chilled his back, and Menger calmed down: "Yes, nothing else was found."
Lu Fenghan's expression remained unchanged, no one could see clearly what he was thinking: "And then."
"You died—after you disappeared, the acting commander collected the remnants. Due to the lack of troops, he applied to Leto to retreat to Turin Star, and the higher-ups quickly agreed. This order was issued by me."
"So, this retreat gave up 23 planets of the alliance, including four rare ore stars. While allowing the rebels to take a big step forward, they also had the mood to blow up 21 photobaric bombs in the alliance to celebrate. Even, put his hand in Leto. Indeed,'
Lu Fenghan spoke bluntly, but his eyes were as dark as the night, "Good order."
Menger closed his eyes: "This is a last resort, Commander."
"Ah."
Lu Fenghan touched his trouser pocket habitually.
When Menger saw it, he quickly handed over his cigarette.
With a "snap", the metal lighter burned, and the flames only illuminated his facial features for a moment, and soon, the darkness gathered again.
Lu Fenghan lowered his eyes and lit the cigarette.
"Continue." His voice sounded even hoarse. "Who is the acting conductor to take over, Erich?"
Menger shook his head: "No, it's Wise."
After a few breaths, Lu Fenghan's voice sounded faintly: "It's him."
It was an extremely simple answer, but Menger heard that the rain was coming.
He also gave a detailed report on the situation after the rout-including all the promotions and transfers within the military that he knew, and the current situation on the front line.
He is not Lu Fenghan's direct subordinate, and he doesn't know much about Lu Fenghan's behavior style. When he doesn't know what clues to provide, the best way is to tell what he knows.
After listening, Lu Fenghan put out his cigarette and said, "I heard that your promotion was blocked?"
Menger smiled bitterly: "You also know?"
"Well," Lu Fenghan ordered, "in two days, go to Vincent Feng, and he will help you."
Lu Fenghan took two steps, and stopped at the moment when he missed his shoulder. The bright lights in front of him cast light and shadow in his eyes: "Pretend you haven't seen me today, understand?"
Menger nodded: "Understood."
He remembered the scene when Lu Fenghan entered the door, and asked Chi: "You and the Qi family?"
"Prayer?" Speaking of this name, Lu Fenghan's terrifying aura faded a little, and he smiled, "He, my employer."
The author has something to say:
Than a heart surrounded by a soft ruler tailored to Qiyan by Commander Lu~
