Dai Yunong sat in front of Luo Zhaobing, holding cold red wine in his hand, his expression was cold, and he tried his best to suppress the fierce heart.

The woman in front of her had complicated entanglements with her. To be precise, between these two women with complex identities and rich experience, not only now, but also in the past, there was an entanglement beyond the imagination of the world.

"You haven't called me 'Bing' in years." Luo Zhaobing's tone was still cold, but he was slightly reproachful and dissatisfied.

"Blame me?" Dai Yunong also questioned dissatisfiedly, but she still maintained a reserved attitude that seemed to be in control of the overall situation, and said calmly, "At the beginning, you didn't listen to my advice and insisted on marrying Su Yu, a hypocrite, and you will have to bear the price for him for the rest of your life." ”

"You're not the same, start vowing to never marry. It didn't turn out to marry two men in a row. Disappointingly, they are all ordinary people who have achieved nothing. Luo Zhaobing sneered.

"This all happened after you and Su Yu betrayed me. And didn't I personally deal with them later? ”

"You have always betrayed you, so you also turned a blind eye to Su Yu's assassination back then?"

"Of course. I can't find a reason to help someone I can't get, and I can't help someone who snatched you from me. ”

Hearing Dai Yunong say this, Luo Zhaobing suddenly burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Dai Yunong asked eagerly. With her IQ, she seems to have speculated the truth behind Luo Zhaobing's laughter.

Luo Zhaobing put away her rare gaffes, straightened her demeanor, and said, "Compared to my feelings, Su Yu, what he really loves is you." ”

"But he's married to you anyway." Dai Yunong stood up as he spoke, staring at Luo Zhaobing resentfully, "Don't lie to me." ”

"You are too old, so many years older than him, you can't physically and psychologically satisfy him." Luo Zhaobing was blunt, and his tone was quite proud, "And I was the first to conceive his child, at that time, his career was in full swing, so naturally he had no choice." Think of the news that a promising young general actually fell in love with a pair of women at the same time and impregnated one of them, no matter what era you put it. ”

"You ......," Dai Yunong soon realized, "you designed Su Yu to make your belly bigger and force him to marry you." You really kill two birds with one stone, you can not only marry a good man, but also take the opportunity to get rid of me. ”

"It's a pity you found out too late."

"So what does it matter?" Dai Yunong quickly regained his composure, sat back in his chair, and continued lightly, "You and I are not the same as I am, we are all alone. Of course, you can say you have a baby son. But don't you condescend to beg me to form an alliance with you, just for the sake of your precious son who is on an expedition? ”

"Yes. For the sake of Su Yu and my son, I will do whatever it takes. Luo Zhaobing said firmly.

"I can understand that for the sake of your wild seeds, you can forbear to marry one of the masterminds of Su Yu's assassination, the old immortal Robben, after his death, and you can betray your political position and allies. But what does this really have to do with me? When Dai Yunong was borne, he laughed at himself, "Back then, knowing that Su Yu, whom I once loved, was about to be assassinated, I ruthlessly stayed out of the way and let him be beaten into a honeycomb." Today, what reason do I have to help my mother and child, whom I don't like or even dislike? ”

"You said it, out of love for Su Yu, this is the reason."

"Yes. But Su Yu has been dead for so many years, and I can't afford to put my life and lifelong political resources into it for the sake of a dead man. I can stay out of your proposals and what you might want to do in the future. Dai Yunong showed a hard-hearted look.

"No, I firmly believe that the love of more than thirty years ago has been continuing in your hearts and mine." Luo Zhaobing seemed full of confidence in her and herself, "Also, your guilt for Su Yu's death will ask you to help us." ”

"Do you think I'm a person who values love and justice?" Dai Yunong was not convinced, "I have been re-elected as the director of the security committee of four presidents, I control the secret service system of the entire federation, and I have countless ulterior secrets in the interstellar human world of the Immortal Spiral Arm. ”

"But do you dare to deny that more than thirty years ago, our time together was the happiest of your life?" Luo Zhaobing asked rhetorically.

Dai Yunong didn't respond immediately, but took a sip of red wine, and then looked at Luo Zhaobing silently.

Luo Zhaobing continued to recall: "At that time, we were free, without restraint or concern, life was so sweet, and life was so moist. But later, the appearance of Su Yu changed your mind. ”

"But I haven't changed my love for you." Dai Yunong argued.

"I don't blame you." Luo Zhaobing responded, "But Su Yu doesn't want to give up his career, so it's impossible for the relationship between the three of us to last." ”

"So, you made a choice for Su Yu without authorization." Dai Yunong's tone became dissatisfied.

"Yes." Luo Zhaobing replied, "He is a great general, but he is not a qualified lover." He wants to marry you, but you can't satisfy him, and you can't even give birth to him naturally. This would cause a factor of pain for him and his family. He hesitated, and he didn't dare to confess to you, so he had to vent his bitterness to me. And I, who can make up for all your shortcomings, are talented and beautiful with him. Therefore, I seduced him and conceived his child. I made a choice for him and for you. ”

"He married him and broke off relations with me. Then he changed from Su Zhaobing to Luo Zhaobing, and now he is ready to do something. It seems that I have been underestimating you as a little agent. Dai Yunong said with emotion.

"I was too young back then, if it weren't for the rush to sell my first house, I wouldn't have gotten too close to you, I wouldn't have fallen in love with you, and I wouldn't have met Su Yu later and are desperate for my son today." Although Luo Zhaobing said so, he didn't have the slightest regret.

"Back then, if I had honestly lived in a civil servant's apartment and not been in a hurry to buy a house, I wouldn't have changed from a client to a mistress." Dai Yunong also showed no remorse.

The two fell silent because of their shared memories, and looked at each other—with a look of warmth and affection—as if it were love at first sight.

After more than 30 years, the old love has been rekindled.

The death of the lover dissipated the vinegar and sour wind;

The washing of time has washed away the feelings and hatreds.

Tired hearts, wandering souls, shuttling through the vast universe.

The bright starlight reflects the honey of the past.

The solidified crow's feet are mixed with the melancholy and joy of the past.

Time and space are staggered, and the Iraqi people are reunited,

The mouth is the heart, but it is not.

Relative hatred and cherishment, don't love or leave.

After a long time, Luo Zhaobing finally took the initiative to speak, breaking this reluctant beautiful silence and saying: "The past, after all, is the past. The people and things that separate you and me are no longer ......"

"But you still have a son." Dai Yunong interrupted her and said in a gentle tone.

Luo Zhaobing didn't respond immediately, but put down the red wine in his hand that he hadn't drunk, stood up, and showed the still wonderful body curves to the old gay-sexual-lover.

Seeing this, Dai Yunong also put down his wine glass, stood up, approached Luo Zhaobing, stretched out his arms, and gently hugged her slender waist.

"It's been more than thirty years, and it's a strange feeling, but it's familiar." Luo Zhaobing became very excited, and at the same time hugged the other party's neck.

"I'm so sorry." Dai Yunong also looked emotional, "After Su Yu dies, I should come to you." But ......"

Luo Zhaobing blocked Dai Yunong's mouth with the index finger of his left hand and said, "It's okay, I understand your distress." Although we have all broken our respective promises, now, I still have to solemnly tell you that I have agreed with Bo'er that after helping him complete his great cause and avenge his father, I will no longer participate in his affairs and this society. So, I can always be by your side for as long as you want. ”

"So, what about that 'Duliang', Liang Juehuai?" Dai Yunong suddenly asked, "He is known to everyone in the entire Yingxian Spiral Arm Astral, your 'third man'." You've had a big scandal. ”

"I had a good time with him, but it's over. Luo Shilin's lawsuit gave me a good opportunity to break our relationship cleanly. Luo Zhaobing calmly told her and Liang Juehuai's past.

"Everyone in the world thinks that after the Luo family's bad affair is over, you will have a lover with him and eventually become a family."

"But you must know very well how many times I've met him since then."

"You know, your Luo family is immune to the Federal Security Council's surveillance system."

"But your people can fully grasp all the experiences of Liang Juehuai's life."

At this time, Dai Yunong couldn't help but smile and shook his head, his expression was quite appreciative, and then said: "At the beginning, I would have fallen in love with you, not only because you were beautiful, but also because you were so intelligent. ”

"And do you still love me?" Luo Zhaobing looked at Dai Yunong with a misty look in his eyes.

"Love, ice. I've always loved you. Dai Yunong replied without hesitation, "I promise you all my strength to help you and your son." ”

"Thank you, Rain, I love you too." Luo Zhaobing said gratefully.

Subsequently, in Luo Zhaobing's room, where he had slept with three men one after another, this pair of middle-aged and elderly women hugged each other tightly and kissed each other passionately.

However, the love that has been rekindled now is no longer as innocent as it was when it was young.

But who cares about that?

Luo Zhaobing moved his fingers slightly, and the exquisitely designed stereo in the room came with a smart and soothing piano sound, followed by a crisp and sweet female voice.

Hearing the incomparably familiar favorite song, Dai Yunong hugged Luo Zhaobing more closely.

It was an old song that has been passed down to the present day more than 1,000 years ago, and the ending song "Runner" of the TV version of the anime "Macross Fortress". This is the favorite song of Rain, Bing, and Yu, but Yu and Bing prefer the male version sung by Makoto Fujiwara, and Su Yu prefers the female voice Lin Mingmi version of Marie Iijima. When the three of them were together, both women were willing to accompany Su Yu to listen to Lin Mingmei's version.

After all, for Chinese men like Su Yu, who galloped in the sea of stars, many of their ancestors were inspired by the image of "Lin Mingmei", and they had a romantic yearning for the interstellar age.

Accompanied by the ancient soft singing, the two hearts that love each other again shine with happiness again.

The metropolis of Pangu City is shrouded in the night.

One of the centers of civilization, the planet "Andromeda", immersed in peaceful space.

Thousands of light-years away, the interstellar planet "Yi" began a strange transformation under the surveillance of the Federation's research ship. A powerful earthquake occurred on its surface, and the rocks and earthworks were all reduced to powder, and then quickly moved to the poles, and were sucked into the star's body. At the same time, the planet began to accelerate, moving above the galactic plane.

And even farther into space, the planet "Taiji" has absorbed its star "too void". Even the core of the star is dissipating and forming a stream of high-energy material to flow to the giant hole of the planet Taiji.

In the space that was originally within the scope of the "void" stellar sheath, the gravitational force changed dramatically, and various natural celestial bodies and remnants of man-made objects fell into a state of chaos. Only the warships of the former 13th Fleet of the Immortal Interstellar Bundeswehr, which were remotely controlled by the "Yi" satellite, were still smoothly running in a circular orbit about 3 million kilometers away from the "Taiji" planet.

In the deep space of the universe outside the Perseus spiral arm and below the silver surface, flashes of positive and antimatter annihilating each other are constantly emerging. The gravitational wave detection system on the unmanned reconnaissance ship and the notification ship painted with the double-headed eagle logo on the exterior constantly shows signs of gravitational upheaval, indicating that the large group of ships is sailing faster than light at various levels of "Akuberi" speed.

In the past, such a roundabout attack by the Immortal Star Bundeswehr at the expense of a long detour would have been difficult to detect by the reconnaissance forces of the New Roman Empire.

However, after Jiang Ziyue fully took over the Imperial Frontier Fleet, he made a bold and careful deployment. He sent nearly one million unmanned notification ships and unmanned reconnaissance ships under the jurisdiction of the border fleet to the vast deep space beyond the Yingxian spiral arm to search for possible traces of the enemy.

When the commander and staff of the detachment under the motorcycle expressed doubts about this gambling needle in a haystack, Jiang Ziyue confidently explained.

There are a large number of civilian and military ships, unmanned notification ships, and reconnaissance ships in the border space of the 135th line in the coordinate system of the silver surface of the two countries, and it is difficult for the enemy to achieve suddenness in a frontal attack. In the previous expeditions to the planets "Africa" and "New Byzantium", the enemy used two roundabout routes, and in order to be more hidden, it was natural to abandon the routes that had been exposed.

Judging from the past history of the enemy's commanders-in-chief, General Manuel Beraskos, Minister of Defense, and Admiral Zhang Bingye, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the two tended to be conservative in the deployment of troops and the use of the fleet; And Captain Luo Xiaochen, a young officer who may have already held an important staff position, should not be able to completely influence the two main generals in decision-making.

After all, the two generals are both veterans who were born in the army and have conservative ideas, and it is impossible to give enough trust and obedience to Luo Xiaochen, who was born out of wedlock in a wealthy family, graduated from the preparatory department of the military academy, and enlisted in the army halfway by relying on his family background.

Based on the above reasons, Jiang Ziyue was sure that even if the wizards in the federal army could come up with an extraordinary route to march, they would be rejected by the higher-ups. Therefore, the route of the Federation Army's attack on the hinterland of the Empire can only detour to the inner or outer side of the Perseus spiral arm, above or below the silver surface, and farther and deeper space. This is the deployment of the main reconnaissance forces to the inside and outside of the spiral arm.

However, when the unmanned notification ship changed to a faster-than-light state and informed the flagship "Siegfried" of the intelligence that it had discovered the enemy fleet on the expected space coordinates, Jiang Ziyue was still not happy.

"I'd rather hear the news of the enemy's attack on 'Iserron' or 'New Rhine.'" He told his men on the Siegfried in an anxious tone.

At this time, it was already November 28, 2920 human standard time, and the "Cerberus" three-star system, dominated by the "Himalaya" star, had greatly intensified the confusion of gravity. The Senate of the New Roman Empire had to publicly announce the launch of the "Exodus of the Golden Empire" program, which had actually been carried out secretly for nearly a month, but it was still carried out in the name of "disaster prevention and relief exercises", and the truth of the disaster was not fully announced to the public.

The great retreat from space of three billion people, coupled with the countless transfers of wealth, undoubtedly determined the future, and even survival, of the Senate and the Roman people.

Moreover, as a battlefield commander, Jiang Ziyue has a more difficult problem. The appearance of the enemy in the expected place meant that he would once again defend the great retreat of "Neo-Byzantium" with absolutely inferior forces against a powerful enemy.

Although his bluffing march made the Andromeda manifesto more of a real threat, he had to abandon his original plan to detour into the Perseus Commonwealth.

Jiang Ziyue divided the border fleet into two parts, led six detachments to secretly return to the "New Byzantium" star field, and ordered the other four detachments to be deployed separately near the 135th parallel to maintain a minimum of border patrol and security work.

Jiang Ziyue's original plan was that the new commander of the Central Fleet, Kalios, would be able to master the newly formed "Caesar" squadron and the old "Charlemagne" squadron, so as to fully cooperate with his border fleet and act in concert to form a strategic defense that complements the virtual and the real.

But the reality is obviously not satisfactory, or he overestimated the abilities of his superiors, Admiral Karios and Lieutenant General Zubaran, who had no real skills.

Neither Admiral Gerasim Andreyevich Trilisel of the "Caesar" squadron nor the new commander of the "Charlemagne" squadron, Admiral Leopold Hisberg, took the new commander and chief of staff of the Central Fleet seriously.

The Imperial Consul Wang Zeren took advantage of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of the "Aegis" Star Field to force the Senate to agree to reappoint his man Karios as commander of the Central Fleet, but he could not give him more actual power. Karios twice became commander of the Central Fleet, and twice became commander of this part of the fleet in the history of the fleet.

However, Wang Zeren's transfer of Karios and Zubaran to the "neo-Byzantine" planet to "command" the Central Fleet was only an excessive measure. His goals and plans were clear: the "Extremi Kin" plan was made public, he would nominate himself as dictator, and if he succeeded, he would be able to directly command all fleets.

However, as the old saying "plans can't catch up with changes" mentioned in many literary and artistic works, neither Jiang Ziyue, nor Wang Zeren, nor the elders of the Senate expected that when the curtain of the interstellar retreat opened, an earth-shattering event would occur.
