Volume 1 Fateful Encounters Chapter 70 Old Friends
The capital of the Republic - Xinjing.
With Leighton's arrangement, the Eye of the Goddess passed through the checkpoints all the way unimpeded and came to Xinjing, the heart of the Republic. This planet, which represents the supreme power of the Republic, was independently discovered and named by the Republic's exploration forces in the early days of interstellar navigation. In the middle of the Zhou Voyage, after a large number of human migrations, in order to facilitate the management of the Republic and also consider its location in space, Xinjing was officially designated as the capital of the Republic, until now.
There is no way to keep the planet clean like the Alliance's Fulin Hillman, and Xinjing only controls the inhabitants. This is enough to make the planet in the heart of the republic have a good environment and ecology. Unlike outside, the Goddess Eye who returned home did not receive much surveillance and control, and Morning Star was relieved and boldly let the Goddess Eye anchor on the surface of Xinjing. The novel alien and powerful functions have made the eyes of the goddess gain countless eyes.
The Morning Star and his party, who walked out of the Eyes of the Goddess, only received a few more glances because of the powerful appearance of the Eyes of the Goddess, after all, there are still some people who are interested in who owns such a ship. Layton and Tula led a dozen people to greet the Morning Star in person. Although this separation time is not a long time for the father and son of Leighton and Morningstar, the process of separation is full of risks. Morning Star was outside, leading his comrades to lick the blood. And Leighton, including Layton, is intriguing with various forces.
After a brief hug to show his longing, Layton grabbed Morningstar's shoulder, and the father's voice was full of encouragement, and he said to Morningstar, "Well done, son! Not only did I soak in the princess of the empire, but I also stepped on the face of the alliance fiercely, with my style back then! β
Layton didn't recognize Caterina behind Morningstar, and his words didn't save face for the princess of the empire. Morningstar knew why, after all, Caterin's previous image was a short-haired, capable strong woman, and now she has long hair and a ladylike style, no one would recognize such Caterina as the princess of the empire in the stereotype. Morningstar coughed lightly and said, "Katarina, this is my father, Layton. Daddy, this is Katarina, the princess of the Empire. Morningstar introduces Layton and Caterina to both of them, and Layton is surprised to see the lady Katarina, who is even more shy because of Layton's previous words.
Layton carefully observed for a moment, and then he could barely confirm that the noble lady in front of him was indeed Katarina, and there were clear traces in her eyebrows showing her identity, looking at Morning Star, Layton asked, "This is the princess of the empire?" Don't lie to me, boy, why did you kidnap someone's princess? If Vistock had known about this, he would not have sent troops against us? That old guy isn't a good fellow! Layton was unreceptive to Katerina's presence, thinking that Morningstar had done something to it.
"What are you talking about, Daddy, Caterina came here with the permission of the FΓΌhrer, I don't dare to mess with that old man, even Daddy, you have suffered under him, where did I have the courage to challenge the strongest man under the stars." Morningstar poked Layton in the sore spot angrily, and by the way, he vaguely praised her father in front of Katerina.
When Layton heard this, he was furious and said, "Little bastard, I didn't suffer!" It's just that Katerina's mother prefers the Vettok type! β
Tula was not surprised by the relationship between father and son as if they were friends, but he noticed a white-haired old man standing at the back of the crowd, took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand with Tula, who was hiding under the cloak, and said, "Long time no see, Shiraishi friend." β
Shiraishi also seemed to recognize Tula, his voice trembled a little, and he hurriedly covered Tula's stretched hand with both hands, and said, "Is it Tula, is it really you, I can see you again in my lifetime, I can be blind even if I die." β
Tula chuckled, and Shiraishi still respected himself as much as he had when they first met forty years ago.
After a brief exchange of warm greetings, Shiraishi and Tula couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Tula, why are you here?" β
Tula looked at the Morning Star standing beside him and replied, "I will be guided by fate to help him become a legend!" β
Shiraishi didn't have any mood swings, this young man of the Republic called Morning Star had already had too many incredible things happen to him, and Tula's appearance next to Morning Star could only be regarded as a bigger incredible. Shiraishi didn't say anything, but he saw Layton walking past Morningstar.
"Old General Bai, I haven't seen you for decades, and your hair is all white." Leighton and Shiraishi seem to be old acquaintances, but Morningstar always feels that something is not quite right when he hears Leighton's words.
The corners of Bai Shi's mouth twitched, and he retorted: "If you weren't so angry with me twenty years ago, maybe I still have black hair, and you have the face to bring up this problem!" Moreover, look at your old face, the wrinkles are not much less than mine, and you still say that I am old? β
Everyone on the field understood at this moment that the two not only knew each other, but it seemed that they had a not very pleasant contact when they were young.
Shiraishi's merciless counterattack made Layton a little angry, and he was about to start the quarrel mode, but Quinn on the side stopped the two elders from scolding each other in public. At Quinn's signal, except for Norin Hill and Anshidar, who stayed on the ship, the rest of Morningstar's confidantes stood up one after another, bowed to each other, and said, "Hello Daddy (Father, Daddy, Uncle)! β
Among them, the queen is the happiest and loudest to lose.
Seeing these prospective daughters-in-law saluting themselves, the bad mood of the quarrel with Shiraishi just now disappeared in an instant, and Leighton's whole temperament suddenly turned into a loving father's image, stretched out his hand to signal that everyone did not need to salute, and said happily: "Hello everyone, hello everyone, it is really hard for you to accompany Morning Star to carry out those dangerous tasks." As he said this, Layton's eyes swept over the abdomen of these prospective daughters-in-law, and after a while, he pulled away the morning star, walked to the side and asked in an unkind tone, "Boy, where is my grandson?" Did you really take this to heart? β
Morning Star scratched his head and replied with some grievances: "Dad, it's not like you don't know that so many generations of our family are single-handed, how can it be so easy to hold a grandson." Besides, I'm working hard, but it's still no result, what can I do? β
Layton heard Morningstar's words, sighed deeply, and said, "Heavenly jealousy, heavenly jealousy! As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Shiraishi, who was still talking to Tula not far away, and asked, "What's the matter with that old guy?" Sent by the Alliance to take charge of Alpha 137? β
Morning Star followed Layton's gaze, saw that Bai Shi and Tula were talking happily, and replied: "Dad, Old Man Bai has no tasks, you will have more time to contact in the future, be generous, don't be angry with him." β
Hearing this, Layton knocked Morningstar's head hard and said, "Am I generous? It's generous enough that I didn't do anything with him, this old white hair, chased me for half of the galaxy twelve years ago, just because I caused a little trouble in the alliance! As for it! Your daddy and I almost died at his hands! β
"Daddy, are you sure it's a 'little trouble'?" Morningstar still knows his father very well, and in Morningstar's memory, there is no small trouble in the trouble caused by his father.
"Ahem, don't worry about that." Leighton didn't want to discuss with his son the ridiculous things he did when he was young, so he walked a few steps quickly to Shiraishi and said in an unkind tone, "Old Bai...... Chief, you are a general of the Alliance, what are you doing in our republic? β
Shiraishi didn't care about Leighton's tone, apologized to Tula, turned around and replied, "Don't pretend to be confused, you kid, can you not know where I am now?" I've resigned, I'm no longer a general, and, you think I'm happy to come here? You and that bastard kid took me captive! I wish you could send me back. β
Layton glanced at Morningstar in confusion, and wondered a little in his heart, when did his son have such a penchant for captivity? Seeing Morningstar nodding, Layton didn't dwell on the matter, but walked aside to talk to Quinn. In Layton's heart, Quinn is a well-deserved eldest daughter-in-law, tolerant, careful and magnanimous.
Morningstar walked up to Shiraishi and Tula, first bowing respectfully to Tura, and then apologizing softly to Shiraishi, explaining that his father was not hostile to Shiraishi. Bai Shi could naturally see it, and said with a smile: "I can't see his careful thoughts, so wouldn't I have eaten more than 20 years of food for more than 20 years than him." When I chased him for half a galaxy, he must have been haunted by this matter, but as for the matter, we just hurt each other, not to mention that he was not satisfied with letting him escape in the end. β
Morningstar heard the word twenty years ago from Bai Shi's mouth again, and couldn't help but become interested in what happened at that time, so he asked, "Old Man Bai, what trouble did my father cause at that time to make you chase him so persistently for half a galaxy?" β
Shiraishi glanced at Morning Star in surprise and asked, "Didn't he tell you?" β
"Well, my father doesn't usually want to talk to me about his youth, and everything I know is from other people's mouths." Morningstar replied with some embarrassment.
"Hahahaha, that's the same, after all, it's not convenient to say such a thing to your son, it's understandable, it's understandable." Shiraishi laughed, and then turned into a bad laugh, thinking in his heart to make Layton embarrassed in front of the morning star, and said: "That was the engagement banquet between the son of a high-ranking official of the alliance and the daughter of a nobleman of the empire, and your father didn't know if he was ordered to destroy it, or if he was whimsical nonsense, and he didn't know what means he used, in just two days, he made the daughter of the nobleman of the empire empathize with him, and made a big noise not to be engaged to the son of a high-ranking official of the alliance, crying that he wanted to travel to the stars with your father, The high-ranking official who got it couldn't hold his face, so he ordered me to arrest your father. Oh yes, that senior official is my immediate boss. β
didn't get the result he wanted, but Bai Shi, who was still smiling evilly, stood on the spot because of Morning Star's "well done", and then shook his head helplessly, and said with emotion: "It's really father and son!" β
Although Morning Star said that he was doing a good job, he kept complaining in his heart, one was a white-haired old general in his seventies, and the other was a legendary special operations instructor who was over 50 years old, but he didn't care about his image because of the old things of 20 years ago.
Clapping his hands lightly, attracting the attention of the people around him, Morningstar said, "Daddy, have you arranged our accommodation?" β
"Worry, do you still need to say this?" Layton reprimanded Morningstar dissatisfied, and led a group of returning juniors, as well as an old man who made himself gnash his teeth, on the way home.
