12 Rose Garden

Xia Yu did not hesitate at all, and walked directly towards Lu Yinghuai at the door.

It's just that his gaze glanced down with some curiosity.

When he first saw the marshal, his head was not very clear because of the drug, but he vaguely remembered that the marshal seemed to be in a wheelchair, but the current marshal looked ...... It's not the slightest bit different from the others.

Even, the man standing by the door was slender, his aura was calm, and he did not have the slightest pallor of illness.

Xia Yu stood in front of Lu Yinghuai, looked up at him, and called softly: "Your Excellency Marshal." ”

After speaking, Xia Yu glanced at the people in the banquet hall behind him, moved his lips, and hesitated a little and didn't know what to say.

The marshal is notoriously fond of public socializing, and Xia Yu doesn't want the Duke's Mansion to be more involved in the marshal's relationship, so as not to go wrong in the future.

can leave the banquet directly, which not only cheapens the mother and son who show their feet, but also allows Duke Xia to really confirm the identity of the marshal's in-laws, and Xia Yu is a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Xia Yu thought like this, and there was a slight expression on his face.

Seeing this, Lu Yinghuai said: "Today is your birthday banquet, of course, there is no reason for the protagonist to leave the table early." ”

Xia Yu was stunned: "But you ......"

Lu Yinghuai, who finished handling urgent official business on the way here, but in fact had a backlog: "Don't worry, I have a lot of free time today." ”

Lu Yinghuai said this, but the black panther, the spiritual body beside him who was connected with his heart, flicked his tail, roared lowly, paced to Xia Yu's side and distanced himself from Lu Yinghuai, and his beard shook twice.

It's like a silent spit on someone.

Xia Yu touched the big black panther beside him, knowing that the marshal specially came to the Duke's Palace to find him, it should be about the marriage relationship between the two There is something that needs to be communicated.

There were a lot of people in the banquet hall, and he didn't want Duke Xia, who had been opening his mouth to interject a conversation, to find a chance, and compared to these people, the marshal, the backer he couldn't figure out, was more important.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu took the lead in speaking: "Your Excellency Marshal, shall we go to the small garden in the back?" ”

Lu Yinghuai: "Okay." ”

The two of them ignored Duke Xia next to them and the guests who had been staring at them behind them, and walked straight out of the banquet hall.

Xia Yu's mother, Ning Chaiyue, is also a healing ability, and unlike Xia Yu, her healing level was S-level from the beginning, and after graduating from the military academy, she naturally entered the legion.

It's just that unlike the choices of other healing abilities, Ning Chaiyue chose to fight on the front line of the border forever, the environment is the most difficult, and the soldiers' mental power is also the most difficult to pacify.

He is one of only three healers since the establishment of the First Legion.

Duke Xia has no ability, no reputation, and an empty title obtained by his parents, and no one in the aristocratic circle will be willing to marry his daughter to such a vase whose title cannot be hereditary.

And Ning Chaiyue was born in an old aristocracy, although it was only a side branch, but it would have been a good marriage contract.

However, after retiring from the First Legion, Ning Chaiyue's mental power was fragile, and her body had become much worse than before due to the appeasement of her intense mental power for a long time, and she was once considered difficult to conceive.

In the aristocratic circle at that time, Ning Chaiyue was the best choice for Duke Xia, and after marrying her, who had a resume in the first army and was a veteran nobleman, Duke Xia had the real qualifications to join the aristocratic circle.

And Ning Chaiyue took a fancy to Duke Xia's plans for her and his cowardly temperament, and chose to marry Duke Xia.

It's a pity that Ning Chaiyue has been brilliant and bright all his life, but he miscalculated one thing - Duke Xia is indeed incapable, and he is indeed very easy to handle, but there is an unwillingness to have inferiority complex and conceit, as well as a desire for power, and such characteristics were discovered by another woman.

After she died of illness, this woman ruined all her plans for her son with soft words, and forced the only child she cared about to a dead end.

The two walked through the back garden of the Duke's Palace, walked down a path, and finally stopped in a small garden full of roses of various colors.

Beside them were wooden benches with blooming roses on the sides.

Probably because of the rich fragrance in the rose garden, the panther did not follow up, but sneezed twice and squatted at the entrance of the rose garden without moving.

"Your Excellency Marshal," Xia Yu stopped and looked up at the tall Lu Yinghuai beside him, "This is the rose garden that my mother planted in the Duke's Palace, and no one usually comes over, so it's very suitable for conversation." ”

"It's beautiful here."

Lu Yinghuai looked around, keenly aware that the security around this rose garden flashed with the unique program frequency of the First Legion, obviously, this place was written into the genetic program, when the last bloodline of the person who entered it is lost, this rose garden will start to explode, and at that time, the entire Duke's Mansion will be razed to the ground.

"It's very much in line with the feeling that His Excellency Ning Chaiyue gives people."

Lu Yinghuai saw Xia Yu looking at him with curiosity, and explained: "Your mother used to be the healer of the First Legion, and she appeased my spiritual power. ”

When Lu Yinghuai was young, his mental power was often unstable, and at that time, Lu Jiuzhu asked Ning Chaiyue several times to appease Lu Yinghuai.

"That's right." Xia Yu's eyes lit up for a moment, but quickly dimmed, "That's good...... I don't even remember what my mother looked like. ”

After his mother died, Duke Xia didn't even pretend to be superficial for a year, and happily married Bai Xiaoxiao, and all the things in the Duke's Mansion that originally belonged to the hostess were replaced overnight, and not even a photo was left.

Only this rose garden, when Ning Chaiyue used some means when he was building it, Duke Xia couldn't find a way to do it, so he stayed.

And this rose garden has also become the only haven for Xia Yu when she needs to be alone since she was a child.

Xia Yu was a little nervous, and the hand behind her back subconsciously touched the roses that came from behind her, and stared at Lu Yinghuai without blinking.

For Lu Yinghuai, Xia Yu is actually unfamiliar.

But this does not mean that Xia Yu is not curious about Lu Yinghuai, the legendary war hero.

What citizen of the empire doesn't worship Lu Yinghuai?

Nope.

The man in front of him was only in his early twenties when he joined the legion and rushed to the border line when he joined the army when he was just an adult, and when he returned from a decisive battle with the Zerg Queen and returned from a great victory.

If it weren't for the mental disorder, now that he has become famous, Lu Yinghuai, who is in the prime of life, will definitely be the first choice for the marriage of various nobles.

- In fact, it still is.

Xia Yu noticed it just now.

Even Xia Qing was breathing three points faster the moment he saw Lu Yinghuai, and the eyes that looked at him were two points more jealous and resentful.

Lu Yinghuai smiled, paused, and then said, "Sit down, don't be nervous." ”

Xia Yu smiled embarrassedly, and sat down reservedly after Lu Yinghuai took the lead in sitting down.

It's just that Xia Yu's mental power is very keenly noticed, and the moment Lu Yinghuai sat down, the muscles on his body tensed for a while, and the originally very restrained spiritual power around his body also overflowed a little like teeth and claws.

Xia Yu glanced at Lu Yinghuai's legs wrapped in his regular pants, thoughtfully.

Lu Yinghuai's fingers on his knees rubbed, lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and then said softly: "When the mental disorder attacks, I will often fall into a coma, and because of my identity, the legion will block the news from the outside world. ”

"I didn't communicate with you at the first time, it's my responsibility, I'm sorry."

Xia Yu didn't expect Lu Yinghuai to apologize as soon as he opened his mouth, and also said such confidential news, the originally typed manuscript in his mind suddenly felt a kind of useless embarrassment, opened his mouth, and could only say truthfully: "Your Excellency Marshal, in fact, ...... Actually, I don't care. ”

"I understand." Because of the straightforwardness and calmness of the child in front of him, Lu Yinghuai finally showed a smile, "I saw Meng Wenxuan's mental power assessment report, and the main brain also analyzed your mental power data, and gave a very high evaluation of the talent anomaly. ”

Meng Wenxuan and Wei Cheng even handed all the agreements they reached with Xia Yu to Lu Yinghuai.

"Xia ......" Lu Yinghuai paused slightly, and suddenly said, "Can I call you Xiaoyu?" ”

Xia Yu, who had originally straightened her back and listened carefully, suddenly nodded: "Of course you can." ”

"Okay, pomelo."

Lu Yinghuai chuckled and called, his voice was slightly low, tired, but gentle.

Unlike the online versions of speeches that Xia Yu had heard before, Marshal Lu, who was sitting next to him now, although he looked very tall and reliable, mature and calm, did not have that unattainable majesty and solemnity.

"Grapefruit, I'm honored that you chose to trust me, or the First Legion. Whether you choose to become a healer of the First Legion or serve in the Marshal's Mansion, it is my duty to speak to you face-to-face and make promises for the sake of that trust. ”

There are not many citizens of the empire who have abnormal mental power talents, and they are not alone, Lu Yinghuai is one of them, but his talent is reflected in the strength and plasticity of mental power, and because of this, he can still struggle to persist until now after being diagnosed with mental disorder.

But the abnormal change of spiritual power talent itself is an uncontrollable and extremely risky process, and Lu Yinghuai himself has experienced such a stage, so he naturally knows the risks.

Xia Yu is a healing system, which is already precious, and the direction of Xia Yu's spiritual power is likely to be related to the pacification of spiritual power, which is even more precious.

If you are not careful, you will be used as a tool by those who have the wrong mind to achieve the purpose of mercy and coercion.

Regarding Xia Yu's healing spiritual power, it is false to say that Lu Yinghuai has no expectations at all, but His Excellency the Marshal will not put such a burden on the shoulders of children who have just become adults.

The responsibility of the name Lu Yinghuai is too heavy, and it is nothing to take on another Xia Yu, but Xia Yu is likely to be crushed by the expectation from the outside world that he will heal Lu Yinghuai.

Lu Yinghuai was indeed looking forward to it, but he only stretched out his hand to protect the still faint stars.

Xia Yu listened quietly, her throat rolling slightly.

Yes, he chose the First Legion at the beginning, in addition to the fact that his spiritual power needed power stones, he still needed a force that could protect him.

But...... He never thought that Marshal Lu, who would only appear in the video materials, and in recent years, he was still suffering from mental disorders at this time, would come to see him on purpose.

Seeing Lu Yinghuai's voice pause, Xia Yu raised his head, looked at Lu Yinghuai, who was looking at him from the side, paused, still couldn't hold back, and said in a low voice: "Is it because of this that you came to the Duke's Mansion to find me?" ”
