Volume 3 The Insect War Chapter 280 Going to the Meeting Alone (4)
"Hey, old man, you're going too far, why are you still investigating my Quinn, disrespectful to the old man!" Morning Star heard Li Que's words, and suddenly became a little impatient, not for anything else, it was a man's desire to protect his woman, he didn't want Quinn to be targeted by a person with a terrifying background like Li Que, so he jumped to the side and pointed at Li Que and shouted angrily.
Li Que glanced at Chenxing angrily and replied, "You can't decorate something else in your head?" When you mention your woman, you blow up your hair, how old am my old man! I asked Quinn for news because I was interested in those bug soldiers of yours! Got it? ”
Well, that's the reason, Morningstar suddenly realized, organized the language and said, "Those soldiers are indeed under Quinn's control, more precisely, they are loyal to Quinn. Quinn's experience is actually quite sad......"
Morning Star slowly told Li Que about Quinn's reward, and Li Que's eyebrows jumped when he heard it, but the main reason was not because of Quinn's experience, but because Li Que had obtained a lot of news from Morning Star's words that he had never heard of, such as high-level wisdom insects, such as the Void Swarm troops. These new words may not sound like much, but as the commander of the Firmament Fortress, Li Que understands very well what a threat these creatures that have surpassed the current understanding of human beings are to human beings. After a while, Li Que came back to his senses, his eyes were full of complicated emotions, he looked at Chenxing and asked, "The meaning of what I listened to, it seems that you still have some great goals?" Is it really what I thought it was? ”
"Old man, you really look down on me, do you think I have done so much, it will be just to seek a little power?"
Morning Star's words didn't surprise Li Que too much, the reason why he said that before was just to draw out Morning Star's words.
"Morningstar, although I feel a little presumptuous, I can't help but want to ask you, what exactly are you up to?" Li Que lowered his head, his hands on his head, he couldn't see his expression, he couldn't even see the movement of his lips, he could only hear his slightly deep voice.
Morning Star also learned Li Que's movements, hanging his head and thinking about whether he should tell Li Que about himself. is different from Vistock, first of all, Li Que is much worse than Vistock. After all, he is the head of the empire, he has experienced all kinds of winds and waves, and when he walks to a position like Vistock, he definitely has more information in his hands than Li Que, not only with the inside story of people's livelihood, military, economy, etc., but also some supernatural things that are even beyond the current human understanding, are all understood by Vistock. But Li Que is different, even as a general of the Sky Fortress, the similar resources in his hands are far from being comparable to people at the level of Vistock, Zhu Nianguo, and Tommy. Morningstar was worried that if he told Li Que about these things, it would make the old general have a strange impact, and once Li Que did something wrong under impulse, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But if you don't say it, I'm afraid that the story between Morning Star and Li Que will come to an end today. Even if there would be no more conflict between the two, Morningstar's desire to firmly grasp the Firmament Fortress, a force that could affect the situation in the Republic, would come to an end.
Reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, Morning Star thought to himself. It's worth taking the risk, even if Li Que did something wrong because of the information Morning Star said, it will be for the future, and for the Republic and for Morning Star, there is still enough time to make up for it. But once the morning star leaves silently like this, the Firmament Fortress and Li Que are a time bomb embedded in the territory of the Republic, and the risk is too great. The lesser of two evils, Morningstar has already decided.
"General Li Que, I don't know if you believe that under this starry sky, there will be a huge force dedicated to destroying all living things and recasting order." Morning Star still hung his head, but the voice reached Li Que's ears word by word.
"No kidding, human beings have been on interstellar navigation for thousands of years, what should they have seen and not seen? Even the Psenchus who have crossed paths with humans because of you have long been expected by humans, and you are just a specific person who appeared at a certain time. Even without you Morning Star, there may be people like Venus and Morning Star who have done the same thing as you and are on the path you are walking now. Li Que didn't think Morning Star's words were very credible, after all, judging from his tough character, he definitely didn't believe in these Shinto things.
Morning Star didn't pick up Li Que's words, but instead reopened the topic and said, "Then what kind of organization do you think the Heavenly Mandate Sect is?" Why do they have such a strong strength to cause chaos on the borders of the three parties at the same time? ”
Li Que sat up straight, put his hands on the back of the bench, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "Before I met you, I thought the Heavenly Mandate Sect was your person. Your rise is too abrupt, and since you can take ownership of Itgleeson so smoothly, I think you should also have the ability to control a force like the Mandate of Heaven. But after meeting you today, my mind changed, and I knew it wasn't yours, even if there were bugs or something. ”
Morning Star also sat up straight, but only pressed his hands on his thighs, not in the same big grin as Li Que, and asked, "Then who do you think they did?" ”
Li Que choked his mouth and said, "I haven't gone through the details
Investigation, I don't have a conclusion. If measured by first impressions, I am more inclined to believe that this is a conspiracy made by the Empire, after all, they are the smallest of the three parties at any time, and they can even be said to have no loss. Speaking of Morningstar, you can't be deceived by Vistock, right? I know very well the princess feelings of you young people, but it would be very bad if you lose yourself because of these things. ”
"Old man, if I say that I took the initiative to help the Empire, would you believe it?"
Li Que had no choice about Morning Star's title, but Morning Star said that he took the initiative to help the empire, but Li Que didn't believe it anyway. Raising his big hand, Li Que slapped Chenxing's shoulder, laughed and said: "You are really a good son-in-law, old man, I just don't have a granddaughter, if you are such a short-looking son-in-law, I can really consider it!" ”
Morning Star was speechless, for Li Que's statement, Morning Star really didn't know how to answer, so he could only shrug his shoulders and continued: "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, but I can vouch for it with my personality, what I tell you is the truth." The reason why I was able to predict the difficulties of the empire was also based on the inference of a large amount of data collection, otherwise, how could I send the arm that holds the lifeblood of Itgleason to the Republic? ”
After Li Que heard Morning Star's words, his big hands froze in the air, the affection on his face flickered, and asked, "Are you serious?" This question is very important to Li Que, if Morning Star is serious and not joking, then it means that Morning Star has far more information than him, and the credibility of what Morning Star said has increased a lot.
"Is my personality so worthless? I've said it all, and you're still going to doubt me? Chenxing shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said, "General Li Que, I can tell you very responsibly that the Heavenly Mandate Sect does not belong to any of the current human forces, they are controlled by a higher and only civilization, and it is very likely that they are even more terrifying individual existences. I had the pleasure of meeting one of their high-level forces and fought him briefly. How so? If you quantify, that person can probably hit me three by himself. ”
"What!" Li Que Teng stood up from the bench with a bang, although he didn't admit it verbally, but he still recognized Morning Star's individual strength, especially after fighting with Morning Star before, it made Li Que very clear that Morning Star's personal combat strength was far ahead among human beings. But what does Morningstar say? A certain high-end combat power of the Heavenly Mandate Sect can fight three Morning Stars by himself? What are you kidding, although the victory or defeat of the war does not depend entirely on high-end combat power, such high-end combat power can have a huge impact on the trend of the entire war. Not to mention anything else, the decapitation alone is a headache.
"Are you serious?" Li Que asked this sentence again, and his heart trembled.
Chenxing nodded and said, "General Li Que, I will give you a reasonable explanation for your previous suspicions now. My father's strength was built up because of the prophecy of my teacher, Tula, and that humanity was about to face a threat from the Void. After I was born, Mr. Tula saw in me the hope of humanity, and my father also accelerated the accumulation of strength. Knowing that a year ago, I nearly lost my life in that battle with the agents of the Alliance, I met Anshidar, I had the eyes of a goddess, and I accepted my fate, and all my experiences since then have been miraculous, step by step, to where I am today. In the process, I gradually became clear about what kind of person, or creature, we were going to be dealing with. And the Heavenly Mandate Sect is the spokesperson that this person is now pushing to the forefront. ”
Li Que sat back on the bench, put his hands in his hair and thought for a long time. There was not the slightest loophole in Morning Star's performance, and Li Que did not believe that with his own eyes, he could not see through Morning Star's disguise. But it was this self-confidence that made Li Que realize that what Morning Star said was the truth. After a wry smile, Li Que said to himself: "It's really sad, I always thought I was a character, but I didn't expect to end up sitting in a well and watching the sky." I thought I was fighting for all this for the sake of righteousness, but if the truth is what you say, then I'm just too small. ”
"General, don't say that." Morning Star starred and comforted: "After all, we are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark." The Heavenly Mandate Sect had already begun to prepare decades or even a hundred years ago, they were slowly encroaching on us, it took a hundred years to prepare alone, how could we humans discover their conspiracy with such a short lifespan? Fortunately, the civilization of Psenchus that we have come into contact with is a sane civilization of high latitudes, and my teacher, Tula, was a visionary and wise man, who has shown us the way for a day, and now it is up to us to follow this path whether we are willing to take it or not. ”
Morning Star's words were full of demagogy, but Li Que was not a fledgling rookie after all, and after experiencing a lot of distractions, he still found his thoughts. Standing up, looking at Shen Mengqi, who had been standing quietly behind him, he slowly asked, "Mengqi, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Shen Mengqi opened her mouth to predict, but she looked at Morning Star vigilantly, and then shook her head. These were all seen by Morning Star, who also shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "General Li Que, why don't I avoid it first?" ”
Li Que waved his hand and said, "No need!" Mengqi, the Morning Star Lord has already given
With our sincerity enough, he has already revealed such important information to us, of course we can't be too petty, if you have any ideas, just say, I believe that the Lord of the Morning Star will not be a person with a small belly! ”
Yo, this old man is really cunning, knowing that he had a slight dislike between himself and Shen Mengqi before, so he took this opportunity to buckle himself with a big hat, so that he could not pursue Shen Mengqi's words about to be exported.
Sure enough, there was a tacit understanding between Shen Mengqi and Li Que, and as soon as Li Que's words fell, Shen Mengqi followed and said: "Yes!" ”
Get! It's okay now, even if Shen Mengqi scolds herself, she has to greet her with a smile, Morning Star thought so.
"General, Lord Morningstar, I beg your pardon." Shen Mengqi bowed slightly, bowed to Li Que, and when he looked at Morning Star, his body became straight again, and said, "First of all, I am skeptical about what Lord Morning Star said about the Heavenly Mandate Sect. I have my own intelligence network in my hands, and the information gathered to me from the hands of intelligence agents is not enough to support the words of the Morning Star Lord. Although this does not rule out the possibility that the Heavenly Mandate Sect is better hidden, I have a question for the Morning Star Lord, I wonder if you can help me solve my doubts? ”
Morning Star shrugged his shoulders and motioned for Shen Mengqi to continue.
"Lord Morningstar, you've always said that Psenchus is a high-latitude civilization. What I want to know is, why didn't such an advanced civilization exercise control over the Mandate of Heaven sect? If it is really as you said, this Mandate of Heaven Sect is an evil existence that wants to destroy life and reconstruct order, then why is Psenchus, as a high-latitude civilization, watching from the wall at this moment? ”
Listening to Shen Mengqi's words, Chenxing smiled slightly and said, "General Shen, if you see an indigenous tribe trying to exterminate another tribe, will you stand up and stop it?" ”
"Me! If I had the ability, I would. Shen Mengqi was a little speechless, but she still quibbled.
Morningstar smiled and continued, "Look, you don't understand this very well? If you have the ability, you will. If the Psinzus had such ability, they would have it too. It's a pity that the interior of Pusenchus is no different from us humans, we are divided into three parts of the world, they are full of tribes, and they all consume a lot of resources and energy in the infighting. ”
Shen Mengqi was silent, but her eyes were still full of dissatisfaction with Morning Star. Knowing that these reasons were not enough to explain this strong woman, Morningstar sighed lightly and continued, "I don't think you will deny the advancement of the Psenchus, after all, the current republic has benefited through their technology. In my opinion, the Psienchus civilization is still enough for humanity to catch up with a few hundred years, and it is not too much. Such a civilization cannot have a suppressive effect on the Mandate of Heaven Sect, do you think the Mandate of Heaven Sect will be the kind of demagogic cult you see in your eyes? ”
Shen Mengqi had already begun to agree with Morning Star's words a little in his heart, but he still said unadmittedly: "Since the Heavenly Mandate Sect is so strong, the high-level civilization in your mouth, Psenchus, can't resist, so what are we struggling with?" Won't you just wait for death? ”
Morning Star felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, this majestic general actually played the temper of a little girl, where did he go to reason? So Morningstar decided to give her a hard shot. A wicked smile hung on the corner of Chenxing's mouth, and Chenxing said, "General Shen Mengqi, I said that my combat power is far stronger than yours, do you admit it?" ”
"Huh? What do you mean? ”
"Well, I'm so strong, if I want to insult you, won't you struggle? Will it make me do whatever I want? Morning Star took a step forward and approached Shen Mengqi and said.
"You! What are you doing! Be respectful! Shen Mengqi took a step back, but didn't see Morning Star follow, turned his head to look at Li Que, but saw that the old general was smiling bitterly and pointing at Morning Star's nose, laughing and scolding Morning Star for being a bastard. Shen Mengqi only felt that her thoughts seemed to be touched by a hint, as if something suddenly became clear. Yes, you can't stop resisting because you're weak.
Chenxing stood back beside Li Que, looked at Shen Mengqi with a smile, and said, "General Shen, if you have any questions, I will try my best to follow this method and solve your doubts as soon as possible." ”
"You! You bastard! "How could Shen Mengqi not understand the meaning of Morning Star's words, this method? What method? Do you continue to send yourself up to tease him? How can it be? So Shen Mengqi wittily chose to shut up, although she was unwilling, but what could she do?
Li Que stepped forward to relieve Shen Mengqi, took Chenxing's arm and walked to the side, and said, "That's how you usually deal with women?" How did you get the approval of so many women? ”
Chenxing glanced at Li Que angrily and said, "Old man, if you have something to say, don't divert the topic in order to save your attributes!" Say, how do you choose? ”
Li Que gently slapped his palm twice at Chenxing and said, "I like your character, go straight and don't rub." I can accommodate your ideas, but only if you solve a problem for me. As you said, there are gangs even within Pusenchus, and my Sky Fortress is the same, it's not as monolithic as you see, what do you think? ”
"Come!"
