Chapter 334: The Distance Between the Rain
With a great victory on the Canglan front, the military god Su Yehongtu will visit the capital star circle next month to celebrate the National Day.
This is something that the whole Federation knows, and in the eyes of the people at the bottom, it is also a matter of course and honor.
But the so-called ass determines the head, the position determines the position, and the height determines the vision, and what seems to the people to take for granted falls in the eyes of the upper echelons of the Federation, so it is not so easy to interpret.
Who is Suyahongtu? The former prince of the empire, the commander of the imperial guard, and now the generation of military gods who control the Blackstone Star Region.
Although Suyehongtu fell to the Federation in the Silver Cross War, the Blackstone Star District is nominally under the rule of the Federation, but in essence, the Federation's control over the Blackstone Star Region is minimal, and even taxes are symbolic, not to mention military power. So in a sense, this military god who is admired by tens of thousands of people is the emperor of the earth entrenched in the Black Stone Star Region, and he is only a generation of princes who are just a few hundred thousand years away.
This kind of character, whether ancient or modern, is an existence that the ruling class is extremely afraid of, because there is no very effective way to control it, especially in the previous situation where the master is weak and the servant is strong, and the opponent must be guarded against at any time.
Just ask this kind of character, how can he leave his own territory at will, leaving the army and the territory, it is like a tiger with teeth and claws pulled out, and the deterrent power plummets.
However, at this moment, this military god came to the capital circle on his own without any indication and coercion from the Federation, no matter how you look at it, it is like a tiger pulling out its teeth and claws, and then sending itself into a cage on its own initiative.
In the ancient times of the earth, this was an opportunity that many monarchs dreamed of, because they only needed to capture or even kill him. Then, in the case of losing the dominant player, it is more convenient to integrate and manage.
But comparatively. The situation between the Federation and Blackstone is more complicated, and the vast majority of Blackstone Star Sector belongs to the Empire under the rule of Suyahuntu. Behind the vicissitudes of the line, there is an empire that has just been defeated, and if it dares to make a move against this Su Yehongtu at this moment, it is likely to trigger a series of chain turmoil effects.
However, even so, this still can't be a talisman for Su Ye Hongtu, so many people can't figure it out, why did Su Ye Hongtu come to the capital star circle, just to show his great military exploits and declare his force to the Federation?
Elizabeth has looked at more than 50 years of history with her knowledge of Suyahuntu. The other party is definitely not such a pompous and vain person, otherwise he would never be the commander of the imperial guard, and after blatant treason, he can still be firmly entrenched in Blackstone for more than 30 years and stand in an invincible position.
So what is the purpose of this military god's coming?
I don't know what to think of, Elizabeth's brows suddenly twisted, revealing a solemn look.
"Inform the nightingale, comprehensively strengthen the monitoring of the movements of all important personnel in the capital star circle, and report to me once a day." Eliza put down the red clay teacup. Take a deep breath and command.
At this time, she thought of Xia Jingming again, there was no one who stood at a high enough height to have authority over her. The nerf is too great.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Secretary Yan was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by Elizabeth. "Add Shi Chen to the list."
Although Secretary Yan was a little puzzled why Elizabeth put Shi Chen, an insignificant little person, on the watch list, these things were not what she should ask.
As a secretary. The greatest function is to comprehend and carry out the orders of the superiors.
Elizabeth waved her hand, "Go ahead." I'm tired. ”
She slowly stood up, glanced at the vestibule where there was still no movement, and knew that her daughter probably didn't plan to come back tonight, thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.
Shi Chen's actions today gave her a deeper understanding of it, this sharp blade sharpened by Arsariya is not so easy to control, if you don't check it for a while, it is easy to cut your hand, such as this public incident.
In the case of losing Xia Jingming, she desperately needs to replenish the amount of strength, but she deeply understands that Shi Chen's fierce personality is definitely not suitable for cultivating a general like Xia Jingming, he can only be a dagger, at least, for now.
"I hope you don't let me down again." Elizabeth said in her heart.
Although the sword is easy to use, but if this sword is too sharp and too heavy, it will come out of his hand with a sword, and the four wildernesses will be killed in a bloody drift, such a sword, I am afraid that it will either be shelved or the end of the halberd sinking into the sand, for the sake of the relationship between Shi Chen and her two daughters, she does not want the other party to become the latter.
Shi Chen didn't know that the most powerful woman in the entire federation was secretly watching him, since the announcement of the incident in Lensar Square, he has been very peaceful, and returned to his former peaceful life and rest, sending Qianlin to school in the morning, and then going to Yuechi to take classes, the only and biggest difference is that because of the stranding of the biological mecha project, the blue crystal biology began to transform other products under pressure, although the profit can be maintained with the help of Lydia, but it is wishful thinking to pay off the terrifying arrears of Shangyuntong.
Fortunately, Flandor really fulfilled her promise, without anyone to collect money, without the biological mecha technique, without the interference and retaliation on Pucomin's face, he was naturally freed from complicated business, so he would only go to the blue crystal creature every few days, and for this reason, he found that Lydia looked at him a little strangely, but since the other party didn't mention it, he naturally had no interest in asking.
After the accident was publicized in Rensa, all the information and equipment of the biological mecha and even the semi-finished mecha itself were collected and sealed by the scientific research institute affiliated to the First Military Region, and even the relevant technical staff signed relevant agreements at the request of the government, and even two supervisors were invited to work in the scientific research institute of the military department.
Although there are still people mentioning the accident from time to time recently, it has gradually been diluted by the upcoming military god, and the life on campus is still calm and leisurely, occasionally gathering with Bai Shangma Yuming, these comrades-in-arms on the Suyue Star for a while, but Shi Chen's appearance and battle in Lensar Square has made his popularity rise to a new level, if it weren't for that accident, I'm afraid that many girls would have asked him for autographs, which made the wolves around him envious and jealous. Hate can't take its place.
Ever since that night, when she learned from Isha that a certain woman who had abandoned her husband and children was likely to be tossing around the territory of the empire. Shi Chen's mood was much brighter. If it weren't for the fact that there were still some things that hadn't been resolved, if it weren't for the fact that Su Yahongtu was about to come to the Capital Star Circle. I'm afraid he can't suppress some kind of longing in his heart and go to the empire to find her.
Time passed slowly in this atmosphere, the weather began to warm up, and the faint silver flowers on campus began to wither and grow new branches.
On this day, Shi Chen's cheerful and joyful mood suddenly dropped a lot, because today was the day when Xia Li's flight arrived in the capital.
This time he didn't choose to take Lydia's ride, and he couldn't afford to buy a car with a lot of debt. I had to buy a bouquet of carnations at a flower shop and catch a taxi.
Unfortunately, the weather is not beautiful, not long after arriving at the airport, the sky began to drizzle again, fortunately there are free umbrellas at the airport.
Shi Chen held a black umbrella and a bouquet of brightly colored carnations in this way, and prepared to enter the waiting area, but found that the waiting area was already crowded today.
They all wore badges and video cameras, and were supposed to be the major media workers in the Capital Circle. I don't know where I learned about Xia Li's itinerary, and I have always obtained first-hand news information.
After all, this is an orphan daughter left behind by the Chief of the General Staff of the Federal Military Department, because her daughter went to the front line to work as a war correspondent, so she couldn't see her father's most embarrassing side. Xia Li, the only relative, was not there, and after consultation, the military department sent Xia Jingming's body to the ice coffin in the military department auditorium. Wait for Xia Li's return before being buried, there is no doubt about it. This is excellent news material, both official and civil. will be supportive.
However, Shi Chen wanted to get rid of all these media at the moment, originally according to his idea, he wanted that poor girl to be able to see him for the first time after the sad and empty journey, and see him, an old friend from Titan University, so that she could get spiritual comfort in her sadness.
It's a pity that it backfired, Xia Jingming was posthumously named a martyr, and the military department also sent someone to greet Xia Li.
The waiting hall couldn't get in, so he had to wait silently in the rain, Shi Chen's face didn't have any emotion, just waited quietly, waiting for the girl's return.
I don't know how long I waited, but suddenly there was a low roar in the sky, and I saw the transfer capsules break through the dark clouds and rain curtains in the sky and slowly land in the airport.
Shi Chen's heart moved slightly, and the flashing lights in the overcrowded waiting hall in the distance lit up, and then under the escort of the military department, Xia Li walked out of the waiting hall.
After a few months, her face was obviously thin and pale, but she still squeezed out a calm and strong smile on her face, shook hands with the officers who came to pick up the plane and thanked her, whispered a few words, and the officers looked at each other, then nodded and left.
It seems that Xia Li declined their invitation, as soon as the officer left, reporters immediately surrounded her, handed the microphone, and asked questions loudly, Xia Li shook her head slightly, and did not answer any questions, but used her composure and strength to perfectly show the image of a general's daughter.
Shi Chen looked at the girl in the middle of the stone steps quietly through the crowd, it had been a long time since he had looked at her at such a distance, he had only looked at her from a table distance before, and the last time he looked at her at such a distance was when she left the Titan with her father Xia Jingming, at that time, this distance looked at her as if it was as far away as a galaxy.
He once thought that the farewell of the Titans was a farewell, but the circumstances afterwards made him enter the capital star circle that was difficult to contact before in just over a year, but because of his disguise and many ulterior reasons, even if they met in Yuechi later, and later got along, there always seemed to be a distance between the two, and they could never return to the original distance.
And now, looking at her through the crowd, almost that distance has narrowed infinitely with her starship through the starry sky of tens of thousands of light years.
Maybe it's the grief of losing a loved one, maybe it's the grinding of the front-line war, maybe it's just Shi Chen's illusion, Xia Li seems to have become a lot more mature, this maturity doesn't mean that there are any indelible traces left on the girl's face in the treacherous environment of the Canglan front, she is still young and beautiful, but there are a few more indescribable perseverance in her temperament.
I don't know how many things have happened to her in the past six months, in short, at this moment, the weak girl who was almost molested on the bus but didn't dare to resist, the girl who followed her quietly like the girl next door, but didn't blushing and stubbornly looking for him to ask for crepes when they met for the first time, after all, she grew up.
At this time, Shi Chen saw Xia Li in the flash raise her head, her calm and strong gaze became a little distant, as if she wanted to look for something in the crowd, and then those eyes fell on her face.
Through the noisy voices of reporters, across the distance between the crowd and the rain, Shi Chen and Xia Li's eyes touched, and at this moment, any existence other than them seemed to no longer exist.
So all the calmness and perseverance that had been disguised on the surface before collapsed at this moment, and helplessness and sadness flashed in his eyes, and the emotions that had accumulated for a whole month finally turned into crystal tears and slipped out.
Shi Chen quietly watched her cry in the crowd, and his heart, which he thought he could calm down after a month of baptism, stabbed again.
The reporters, who had been pestering and constantly asking loud questions, all quieted down after seeing Xia Li's emotional collapse and unable to stop crying.
At this time, they remembered the girl in front of them, but they lost their only relatives and only support some time ago, and at this moment they are constantly entangled for work and performance, is it a bit too much.
Under this consensus, they finally silently gave way to a way,
"Miss Xia Li, I'm bothering you today, can you make an appointment to do an interview with our column?" A female reporter asked weakly.
"Xie Lu Xie, I'm sorry." Xia Li squeezed out a smile, but didn't look at the reporter, her gaze never moved away from the person's gaze, and then he saw that the boy was squeezing out a smile of encouragement at her, and then opened his hands.
Then, under the stunned gaze of the reporters, he threw away the umbrella and suitcase in his hand, rushed through the blocked crowd, rushed down the stone steps, broke through the distance between the rain, and rushed into the arms of a man.
After the rain-soaked body was wrapped in a warm embrace, it seemed that all the grievances and sorrows suppressed in the heart turned into tears and weeping like ice and snow melting in early spring.
Looking at the men and women hugging each other tightly in the rain, the reporters who failed to complete their work breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.
"It's good that she still has a considerate boyfriend here." A female reporter muttered with red eyes.
Guan Xiwen, who was ignored in the crowd, was hearing the female reporter's remarks when he took pictures of that scene with his camera, and instinctively wanted to use that crow's mouth to expose Shi Chen's multiple scandals with other women, but seeing Xia Li's crying appearance, he still wisely chose to shut up.
