Volume 1: The World of Machine Martial Arts Chapter 19 The Princess Under the Stars
Gu Ziqing returned to his room, lying on the bed and looking at the bright yellow light on the ceiling, his beautiful eyes were a little confused.
......
After Ning He finished washing, he sat on the bed and continued to meditate, and the gray shadow broke away from his body and floated freely in the dormitory.
"Knock knock."
The knock on the door woke Ning He up, and the gray shadow instantly disappeared into Ning He's body, and it said in its heart: "It's Xu Weixiong who I saw before, and I didn't find his information." ”
Ning He was shocked in his heart, this was the first time that the gray shadow had hit a wall. Even Ye Qingyun and Gu Ziqing didn't hit a wall before, but they didn't let it tell him.
What kind of identity should the old man be, and what is he here for?
"Gu Ziqing ......" Ning He muttered to himself, and he had a vague conclusion in his heart.
"Knock knock."
The knock on the door is not hurried or slow, and it is very polite, but it seems rude and abrupt in how polite the knock appears in the middle of the night.
"Open the door to the Grey Shadow."
"Oh."
The door light turned green, and the handsome blonde young man gently pushed open the dormitory door, and he smiled: "Is Ning He's classmate there?" ”
"Yes." Ning He walked through the porch and looked at the blonde youth, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Come out and talk, shall we?" Xu Weixiong's voice came from the hallway outside the dormitory.
"Wait a minute."
The blonde youth nodded and stepped back.
Baiyun Academy was brightly lit tonight, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, all the lights were turned up to maximum brightness.
Ning He walked out of the dormitory, and the old man in the hallway was looking out with a cane, not knowing what he was looking at.
"Today is destined to be a sleepless night." Xu Weixiong said.
Ning He nodded, feeling the same way, he was very tired now, it was the first time he had seen Baiyun University at three o'clock in the morning.
"Today those people are here to take sides. People who can't go up or down always have to show their faces more to get more opportunities and be seen by people above and below. ”
Ning He was stunned, not knowing what the old man was doing with him.
"Gu Ziqing, this girl has been very stubborn since she was a child, she grew up under the wings of the family until she was eighteen years old, and finally broke free and crossed so many star regions to come here."
Ning He listened silently, and the old man really came to talk about Ziqing.
"Do you know our royal family?" Xu Weixiong's eyes flickered, "Gu Ziqing is a member of the royal family, but it can be regarded as a side branch. ”
"The royal family?" Ning He frowned, he had never heard of any royal family in the Federation. In his mind, the highest authority of the federation is the federal parliament, which decides everything in the federation.
"Hehe, too, after all, the current education no longer mentions them, they are all things of the old era, even if they have survived to the new era, how can they see the light in the new era?"
"Old gentleman......" Ning He spoke, he looked at this figure puzzled, and the blonde young man on the side shook his head slightly, signaling him not to bother Xu Weixiong.
Xu Weixiong said unhurriedly: "It's so late today, and it will be morning in a while, I'll teach you a lesson, and I'll sleep until tomorrow, what do you say?" ”
Ning He nodded, what are you talking about, and he can't disobey this big man.
As a result, the picture scroll of the Federation slowly unfolded in front of Ning He's eyes, and Xu Weixiong gave him a history lesson.
The Federation originated from the Cosmic Exploration Cooperation Organization during the Blue Star period, and later with the deepening of cosmic exploration, the large and small regimes on the Blue Star invested more and more in the Exploration Cooperation Organization, which made its functions begin to change.
In the first 100 years of space exploration, the Cooperative Organization for Space Exploration was responsible for coordinating all space exploration projects and coordinating launch routes.
In the second hundred years, technology exploded, and human beings walked out of the galaxy, and they explored one galaxy after another. The Space Exploration Cooperation Organization began to serve as the official agency for Bluestar's external exploration, and all space programs and explorations must be reported and approved.
In the third hundred years, the era of human planet colonization arrived, and the Space Exploration Cooperation Organization was officially renamed the Blue Star Joint Exploration Fleet.
In the fourth hundred years, the strength of the Combined Fleet has surpassed that of all Blue Star regimes, and the commander of the fleet, Gu Wei, began to interfere in the internal affairs of various countries, and the prototype of the empire appeared.
In the fifth century, the empire of mankind was founded.
In the sixth century, the empire flourished and unified.
In the seventh century, the Minghe War broke out, and the Federation and the Empire became the two major political bodies of human civilization, attacking each other on the star map.
In the ninth hundredth, the Ming River War ended and the empire fell.
So far, it has been the 1300th time that mankind has stepped into the sea of stars, and the Minghe War has been the history of 400 years ago, buried in the pile of old papers.
Ning He quietly listened to Xu Weixiong's history until the old man finished speaking.
"Why aren't there any references to this in the history books?" He asked.
"There are two major reasons, one is that it is not conducive to the development of humanity as a whole, and the second reason is that the end of the Minghe War is not glorious. The Confederation made a compromise and kept the imperial royal family, but the royal family did not have any rights beyond it, it was only a status symbol. ”
Ning He felt a little suffocated, which was far from what his education taught.
"So Ziqing ......" Ning He's words were a little difficult.
"It's a princess, a princess from the age of stars."
"I still don't understand what you mean by coming to me, and you said so much......"
"When people get old, they don't always speak well." Xu Weixiong smiled: "I came to you today, I wanted to see your reaction after knowing this, but the little guy is still a little confused, which made me lose my mind." ”
"......" Ning He looked at Xu Weixiong speechlessly.
"That's right." The old man said with interest, "Why don't we make a bet?" ”
Ning He asked quietly, "What do you mean?" ”
"Gu Gu Ziqing's identity is only stronger than your friend Ye Qingyun, if you want to be with her, the resistance between you will be very great. But if you can get my help, the chances of you being together will be even greater. ”
"Okay." Ning He agreed without hesitation.
Xu Weixiong was slightly surprised: "I haven't made a bet yet." ”
Ning He arched his hand slightly, and said slyly: "The old gentleman is Ziqing's beloved elder, and he will definitely not embarrass me." ”
Xu Weixiong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled slightly.
"It's not a hard bet, it's simple, you just need to win next year's OLGS title. In addition, Chen Qiusheng's expectations for you are also this, right? It's something you're meant to do. ”
Ning He nodded solemnly, his eyes revealing a sense of perseverance.
"I promised."
"Hmm."
The old man turned to leave, and the blonde young man standing a little farther away came over and helped him.
"My name is Legolas, Su Cheng mentioned you, we will meet."
The blonde young man glanced back at him meaningfully, and Ning He was stunned.
