Chapter 249: Dialogue
Two hours later.
Huang Jian, who had already returned to his seat to ponder, found that there were more and more imperial nobles and high-ranking officials who came to the rostrum.
Many of these people are important ministers or powerful factions of the Galactic Empire, and Huang Jian often sees news about these people on the interstellar virtual network.
Due to the presence of these imperial nobles and high-ranking officials, and the fact that His Majesty the Emperor would also attend for a while, the unspeakable uneasiness in Huang Jian's heart was gradually diluted.
Soon, the sharp-eyed Huang Jian saw an old man wearing the imperial aristocratic costume sitting in a position on the left side of the first row diagonally opposite him.
The old man wore a black handmade silk gown, and there were many precious jewels inlaid on the whole gown, which made people know at a glance that it was made by a master tailor of the court.
Huang Jian, who was a few meters away from him, could easily see that the old man's back was embroidered with a hideous wolf head pattern with gold thread.
This pattern also made Huang Jian understand the identity of this old man. He is the current Grand Commander of the Praetorian Guard of the Odin Imperial City of the Galactic Empire, Marquis Martinris.
Huang Jian got up and walked over to the old man in Chinese clothes.
Coming to the side of the old man in Chinese clothes, Huang Jian bowed down and said:
"Are you the Marquis of Martinris, please?"
The Marquis of Martinris, hearing the voice of inquiry beside him, turned around, and said:
"Young people! Is your name old man? The old man is clumsy, who are you? ”
"Dear Marquis Martinris, I am the son of the former Supreme Commander of the Red Flame Army, General Huang Haihai, Huang Jian!
When I was a child, I heard my father say that you are a very great man! You used to be friends!
In accordance with Your Majesty's holy decree, I am here today to attend the ceremony of the rebuilding of the Red Flame Army. I just happened to see you, so I came over to say hello! Huang Jian said.
In fact, Huang Jian's heart is particularly chaotic now, because his father, Admiral Huang Haihai, because after leading the Red Flame Army Space Fleet at that time to defeat, many orphans of the Red Flame Army, including Huang Jian, were abandoned by the empire, regardless of whether they lived or died.
At that time, many school officers like Li Hao were required by the military department of the empire to forcibly retire, not to mention those veterans.
In Huang Jian's understanding of the orphans of the Red Flame Army, Marquis Martin Reis has always wanted to 'clean up' them orphans of the Red Flame Army.
Although I heard Chen Xuanfeng say that it was because of his relationship and the protection of His Royal Highness the Grand Prince, Marquis Martinreth did not make a move. But Huang Jian never believed that things were just that simple.
Now that he saw that the Marquis of Martinreth was by his side, under the impulse of the young man, he decided to ask the other party personally before the ceremony began.
Huang Jian, who didn't understand imperial politics at all and grew up in the market, was worried that he wouldn't have such a good opportunity to talk to Marquis Martinrith about this issue in the future.
So he didn't hesitate at all, and took action directly, which can be regarded as Huang Jianchu
Raw calves are not afraid of tigers.
The Marquis of Martinreth did not speak immediately, but looked at the young man in front of him quietly, and after a while, he nodded and said:
"Young man, you do have 8 points like the Yellow Sea when you were young! Although the old man used to have a personal relationship with your father, General Huang Hai, he had a general personal relationship. However, we have a lot of overlaps at work.
Before your father became the supreme commander of the Red Flame Army, he worked under the old man for 8 years. Your father said we were friends, and that was not an exaggeration!
It's just that the old man doesn't understand, where did you go after your father Huang Hai was about to have an accident? The old man also sent someone to find your whereabouts, but found nothing!
It wasn't until a few days ago that the old man received an order from His Majesty the Emperor that he didn't know about your current situation. ”
Hearing Marquis Martin Reis say this, Huang Jian was very surprised, and the doubts in his heart became more and more. Huang Jian thought that it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, so he simply asked directly now.
"Marquis Martinris! You ever sent someone to look for me? What is your purpose in looking for me? Huang Jian asked.
When the Marquis of Martin Reis heard Huang Jian ask, he was also puzzled and said:
"Young man, what do you mean by that? Looking for you, of course, I want to arrange someone to take care of you! Your father, Huang Hai, after all, has also been a soldier under me for 8 years.
My subordinates died in battle for the empire, and as an old leader, although I can't take care of all the orphans of the Red Flame Army, there is absolutely no problem in taking care of you!
The old man really didn't understand what you meant by this? ”
"Earl Chen Xuanfeng, you know him!"
"Acquaintance!"
"Count Chen Xuanfeng used to be the chief of staff of the former Red Flame Army's space fleet and my father's deputy.
After my father died in battle, it was he who brought back the news. He also told me that my father, Admiral Huang Haihai, caused heavy losses to the Red Flame Army, the Imperial Elite Space Fleet, due to his poor command!
The Empire will hold him accountable! Later, after the remnants of the Red Flame Army returned to Odin, many middle and low-level officers and veterans were asked to retire on a large scale, which is also corroborated.
And one more important piece of news, that is, you! Marquis Martinris! Get rid of us, the orphans of the Red Flame Army! Huang Jian said.
"Chen Xuanfeng said this?!" Marquis Martin Reis asked.
"Yes!" Huang Jian replied.
"Where have you lived all these years?" Marquis Martinreth did not answer Huang Jian's question directly, but asked a key question.
"I have always lived in the civilian area in the northwest corner of the Imperial City of Odin, and it turned out that my father's flagship staff was raised by a civilian major in the archives of the General Staff!" Huang Jian said bluntly.
After listening to Huang Jian's words, Marquis Martin Reis immediately laughed and said:
"Huang Jian, I'll call you Xiaojian! I'm telling you, sometimes, what you hear isn't necessarily true!
first
Why should I kill you orphans of the Red Flame Army? Back then, your father Huang Hai was wrong and wrong, and now there is no public conclusion at the top of the empire!
At that time, the remnants of the former Red Flame Army veterans were dismissed and let them retire because of the normal replacement of soldiers. The empire also considered that these veterans had served for too long and suffered huge losses, so they were retired.
Second, it's very important! I'm the commander of the Odin Praetorian Guard, and I didn't even know you lived in the civilian area in the northwest corner of the Odin Imperial City! What does this mean?!
It means that someone deliberately hid it from me or directly hid you! And then plot something. According to what you say today, this should be the masterpiece of Chen Xuanfeng and the master behind him!
It's just that the old man doesn't understand? They hide your identity, and let you grow up in the civilian area in the northwest corner of the Odin Imperial City, so that I can't find you, the son of the former Supreme Commander of the Red Flame Army, General Huang Hai, what is the purpose!
At this point, after the old man attended the ceremony of rebuilding the Red Flame Army, he went to find out! ”
At this time, Huang Jian, who heard Marquis Martin Reis say so many words, the suspicion in his heart became deeper and deeper, but this suspicion was a little more to Chen Xuanfeng.
"Marquis Martinris, according to what you just meant, you didn't come to me to get rid of me?!" Huang Jian asked.
"Why should I get rid of you?! Your father, Huang Hai, was originally my former subordinate, and after he left the Praetorian Guard, he became the supreme commander of the Red Flame Army's space fleet back then, which belonged to the promotion and release! It's too late for me to rejoice!
My job is to keep Odin safe, and we don't have a conflict of interest at all! Why should I hunt you down?! Marquis Martinreth said.
When Huang Jian heard this, he felt that this matter must be a huge conspiracy! Although Chen Xuanfeng is not necessarily the mastermind, he must be involved!
Thinking of this, Huang Jian said:
"Marquis Martinris! If you didn't tell a lie, I think there must be something wrong with Chen Xuanfeng, look, Chen Xuanfeng has also come to the ceremony venue now, not far in front, I'll go to him and ask for an understanding! ”
Marquis Martin Reis did not speak, but beckoned, and the two Praetorian Guards beside him immediately blocked Huang Jian's way.
"Marquis Martinris, what do you mean by that?" Huang Jian asked.
"Xiao Jian! You're young and don't know the rules! What time is it?! So many imperial nobles and high-ranking people are here, and His Majesty the Emperor will be at the ceremony venue in a moment.
Is it appropriate for you to trouble Chen Xuanfeng at this time? In case things get big and anger your majesty! Do you still want the Red Flame Army to rebuild?
I suggest that we wait until the ceremony is over to investigate! The old man is also very interested in Chen Xuanfeng's words, and we will confront him together! But now is not the time! ”
"I see! Let's deal with the rebuilding of the Red Flame Army first! Huang Jian said hatefully.
"Excellent! Young people learn to endure! Don't spoil a big thing on the spur of the moment! ”
