steel horn

Everything was silent, and the moonlight shone on the snow-capped field, making this uninhabited thousand-mile snowfield extremely desolate. A lightweight flying shuttle that reflected the snow light and was very unobtrusive stopped on the snow field, and soon a spaceship also stopped. After getting off, Frost Crow sent Shao Jun off the spaceship, looked at Hua Jianfeng who came out to greet him in person, and mocked, "Why did Shao Feng come to pick him up in person? It seems that he attaches great importance to Earl Onegin."

Hua Jianfeng ignored him, and talked to Shao Jun: "I just received the news that monitoring the Zerg has a big harvest, and the next step is Major General Frost Crow."

Frost Crow was taken aback: "What's the matter?"

Hua Jianfeng said: "We predicted very early that the marshal wanted to create a plague of insects in the Principality of Hawke. Although it is difficult to find out the equipment, where did the insects come from? If there is such a large target of the insect swarm, if we have already predicted it, we will If we don’t do some monitoring in advance, it would be too disappointing for our spy family. For this Zerg attack, we installed satellite monitoring, implanted trackers on some Zergs and put them back. Up! But it’s worth it, as expected, some of the bugs went back to the same place! We are working hard to locate, and we should be able to locate the exact Zerg base soon!”

The moonlight and snow light reflected each other, and Hua Jianfeng's eyebrows stretched. Obviously, this was the only happy thing during this period of time.Frost Crow was stunned, and said happily, "What do I need to do? I'll remove that point when I locate it?"

Shao Jun said: "No, find the place where they domesticate insects. If there is no accident, it should be a base on a desolate star. Then move slowly and cautiously, waiting for the best opportunity. Let's find the place first. There must be iron. Only the same evidence can bring him down, otherwise it is useless."

He pondered: "I have a question. The marshal needs a lot of money to raise so many bugs. After fighting for so many years, everyone has spent a lot of money. Even Frostcrow is soliciting sponsors everywhere. Marshal's source of income Where is it? General political donations cannot afford such research and such large-scale breeding.”

Hua Jianfeng's eyes lit up: "As long as he has done something, there must be traces. I suspect that he must have embezzled and embezzled military expenditures! It is impossible to completely cover up such a large expenditure."

Shao Jun nodded: "It's all up to you, be careful, be careful and be careful, don't take it lightly."

Hua Jianfeng tilted his head, and there was a joke in his dark eyes: "I'm not in a hurry, obviously you are in a hurry. During this time, you are obviously in a hurry with every step. Hua Jianqin said that you are still dealing with military affairs late at night. Constantly arranging things, the bodyguards originally disapproved of you, but they all admire your hard work during this time—you are very worried about Xia, right?"

Shao Jun was silent, Shuang Ya took a white look at Hua Jianfeng, took off the fox fur trench coat he was wearing and put it on Shao Jun: "Okay, then, Shao Feng, if you got the location, please let me know as soon as possible. Let me arrange, it's cold here, get on the shuttle, and contact me later if you have anything to do."

Seeing Shao Jun fly away on Huajianfeng's shuttle, Frost Crow returned to the spaceship. Aisha came up to see his silver hair stained with snowflakes on his shoulders, and said strangely: "It's freezing outside, why don't you wear more clothes?" Do you not know your own body?"

Frost Crow said: "I just gave it to Du Yin. He was wearing a thin military uniform in the cold weather. He didn't seem to know the cold at all, and he was completely focused on how to save Xia. To be honest, I'm a little jealous of Xia. , I saw Kaze Huajian too, I just saw his distorted face with jealousy. Hahaha, fuck, I don’t think I’m much worse than Xia when I look in the mirror! How come I haven’t met such a person. "

Aisha couldn't say a word on her face: "Why do you always fight against Feng Shao? Back then, Feng Shao contributed a lot to your surgery."

Frost Crow said: "Probably because he is too familiar with the smell of unscrupulous means and no bottom line... Well, it is better than some people, at least it is for the sake of profit, and it will not be just for fun and unscrupulous harm. "

He didn't struggle with Hua Jianfeng for too long, but he turned a little aggrieved and looked at the night sky outside the cabin and the snow field that was getting farther and farther away under the moonlight: "Don't talk about garbage, it affects my mood, I still envy, love each other and give each other , This really requires luck, why all I encounter is rubbish."

"All?" Aisha said in amazement: "Isn't there only Prince Ke Ye?"

Frost Crow gave her an angry look: "May I lament for the future in advance? I'm afraid there will be no more fools like Du Yin in this world!"

Aisha said: "How can we lament for things that didn't happen in advance? Let's look forward. There are many good men in the world. Besides, you can also consider gentle and lovely girls."

Frostcrow sighed for a while: "Recently, I have stepped up training, and I have a hunch that this protracted Zerg war will soon come to an end."

He didn't continue to explain to the surprised Aisha, he went back to the room by himself, shrank into his soft and comfortable recliner, squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly went to press the communicator again, and the other party quickly picked up , Ke Ye was there with a proud face on his face: "Got it figured out? My little pigeon." He saw Yanshuang Crow's Nest lying lazily on the recliner like a rare cat with heterochromatic pupils, and his heart fluttered slightly, and he added: "I have prepared the ion cannons for you. They are all the best. Three brand new ones. You can bring someone over to pick them up tomorrow. Make sure you come here first. No one else can."

Frost Crow sneered: "I have something else to tell you."

Ke Ye's face was a little angry, but he held back: "What's the matter."

Frost Crow said slowly: "I suspect that the Marshal of the Alliance is colluding with your imperial people, reselling the military appearance, and embezzling the military expenses of the Alliance Army."

Ke Ye laughed at him: "Do you know what war money is? Do you want me to check myself as the deputy commander of the coalition forces? I spoiled you too much in the past, which made you a little clueless..."

Frost Crow looked at him jokingly: "Dear Prince Ke Ye, I think you may not realize that in Ke Ji's eyes you are just a useful mad dog, although he himself is also a mad dog, when the Zerg war is over, You are an abandoned wild dog. At this moment, although you are the deputy commander of the coalition forces, you are still just a puppet of Ke Ji. , you seem to have infinite scenery, you respond to everyone, and you have iron-like military power. Your status in your father's heart has not changed, and you may be more wary of suspicion. birch."

Anger was already welling up in Ke Ye's eyes, but he smiled angrily: "You think you can piss me off like this? You won't be so naive and want to win in terms of words, right?"

Frost Crow said: "No, I'm just giving you a reason to investigate Ke Feng in an upright manner. There are too many Ke Ji people around you. I have enough evidence to show that in the past ten years, the Marshal of the Alliance has been doing something that requires a lot of money. The source of funds is a mystery. If the Alliance Marshal wants to do something in the Alliance Army without disturbing Okata, it should be through Prince Ke Feng. It is possible to exchange money through any channels. As the Deputy Commander of the Alliance Army, you should be more knowledgeable than me. Clearly, why Okata was detained or even not tried? I am afraid that you have been aware of it for so many years as the deputy commander. You will not be unaware, but you may just think that as the commander of the coalition forces, it is understandable to make some money, so you turn a blind eye Close one eye?"

Ke Ye was stunned, and Frost Crow smiled: "I gave you an idea, you should look for it yourself, if you can knock down one, it counts as one, anyway, there are only three sons, the big deal is to imitate your father, anyway, you are in the same line, this trick is familiar Very well, the winner writes everything. Let me remind you that the Zerg war is coming to an end, you dog is almost useless, if you don’t hurry up and use your current strength to do something, you will really become a lost dog, tsk , I can speak in advance, you must not fall into my hands, of course, compared with other enemies of yours, it is probably better to fall into my hands, at least you can be a full-fledged dog?"

As soon as the screen went black, Ke Ye turned off the communication, presumably out of anger.The smile on Frost Crow's face remained undiminished, and he muttered to himself: "After seeing the diamond, and then seeing the maggots in the dung pile, I really doubt my life." He turned off the hearing aid inside, and the familiar tranquility embraced him, and he felt the comfort and ease in his whole body and mind.

On the shuttle, Hua Jianfeng was opening a 3D light and shadow projection and introduced it to Shao Jun: "This is a simulated projection of the Marshal's mansion. Take a look, it really took a lot of energy to collect and assemble the next data. We even I also found the structural data of the house before the marshal of the previous generation lived in it for restoration and comparison, and only then did I find something suspicious, here, look." He pointed and stretched the path: "Going in from here is the back garden, outside the back garden The wall is the tower, which is where the sentinels live. Under the garden, the previous generation of marshals had good wine. Originally, a cellar was dug for wine storage, but this marshal has renovated and refitted it, and then installed it at the entrance of the wine cellar. Biological protection equipment has been installed, and the original wine cellar has also been converted into a basement for storing materials."

"After Earl Onegin was secretly arrested, we have been investigating possible places of detention, and we have also analyzed the video of his interrogation. It was a quiet, windless place of imprisonment, and the light was obviously artificial. Finally, Coupled with the analysis of the marshal's cronies and the whereabouts of the chief interrogator, we speculate that the earl should be detained in the marshal's mansion, where there should be a cell for secret detention."

"Then I also sent someone to visit. This place is very deserted, and the Marshal has few relatives. Only the Marshal and Lieutenant General Ruth live in the entire Marshal's Mansion, but Lieutenant General Ruth is out most of the time, so the entire Marshal's mansion is actually There are very few people living here, and there are few people here, but the defense here is very strict. It is impossible for ordinary people to come here. I sent someone to visit at night. It is the most advanced biological genetic defense system, and it is impossible to get in. , or even only on the periphery, so we suspect that it should be here. Even if it is not the place where Earl Onegin is secretly detained, there must be something very important, maybe it is evidence that can bring him down, such as evidence of domesticating Zerg. "

Hua Jianfeng looked at Shao Jun, who was silent but focused all the time: "So it's up to you next time, the Marshal of the Alliance will have a very important meeting tomorrow, he needs to go out, and won't come back that night, the guards of the Marshal's Mansion will also be weakened , and then I have already inquired about the rotation situation. In the middle of the night, I will arrange people to create a little disturbance in the south city opposite the Marshal's mansion to attract the attention of the guards. In addition, this time, I hope to act together with you. After all, you are inexperienced, but I am richer, and if necessary, I will try my best to keep you." He looked at Shao Jun earnestly.

Shao Jun nodded, there was no point in covering up too much in front of Hua Jianfeng, they were already in a very dangerous juncture, every wrong step would be fatal.The kid who has worked so hard to get the status of a major general, he hopes that he can go further, even if he is not as he hoped, like thousands of ordinary children, graduated from a prestigious school, looking for a job with a high salary Work, marry a wife and have children, and live a life of peace and happiness, but chose to climb the peak of power and hold the blade of revenge. Since this is the life he chose, he also hopes that he will go higher and more stable. faster.

Huajianfeng saw that he was distracted again, with a complicated expression: "Are you thinking about Xia? I can find a way for you to meet him."

He shook his head: "It's not necessary to take risks for nothing. But——Actually, tomorrow is his birthday."

Hua Jianfeng was stunned, and Shao Jun said: "For so many years, I haven't actually given him a birthday. At first, I was afraid that he would think of his parents when he was touched by the situation. Later, it didn't match the birthday on his false identity and he was afraid of being exposed. He didn't seem to care too much, and he seemed to have forgotten all about it. I have never celebrated his birthday, and now that I think about it, I feel a little sorry for him."

After all, when he escaped from the empire, he was still a child in his mind, and he was indeed not a qualified and skilled parent who had a lot of love for his children, so he has been stumbled for so many years.Looking at the calendar a few days ago, I suddenly remembered that Xia's birthday was coming again. Although he is already a mature and strong adult and has gone through many twists and turns, but now he is locked up in a military court prison, I can't help but feel a little sad for him.

"It would be best if I could celebrate his birthday and comfort him, but at this time he must be closely monitored, and the risk is too great. If it is self-defeating, it will not be worth it." After thinking about it, Shao Jun felt a little ridiculous. When celebrating his birthday, he never thought of celebrating his birthday. Now that the turmoil is on the cusp, why would he be so impulsive as to think of celebrating his birthday?Is he really a little irrational recently?Isn't this body gradually assimilating with the steel body and losing emotion?Or did my mental body actually have too much turmoil recently, which caused such irrational thinking?It's a pity that Luo Dan was left in the Star Valley Fortress to study the Skynet Access Module, otherwise you can ask him.

He drooped his eyelashes and thought about the changes in his body. In the eyes of Hua Jianfeng, he was unhappy. He couldn't help feeling sympathetic, and boasted: "I have a way. I will broadcast it regularly every day in the military prison." For some entertainment programs broadcast on the Star Network, I will ask Nightingale to sing him a song!"

Shao Jun said, "Won't it arouse suspicion?"

Hua Jianfeng said: "The entertainment program that is regularly broadcast every day, if there is any doubt, the program will be reviewed. As long as she doesn't say anything suspicious, it will be fine."

So in the evening of this day, during routine dinner time, Ke Xia watched the prison guards bring in the dining car in the single cell. He was wearing electronic shackles on his hands and ankles, and a collar that prohibited talking, apparently because he was afraid of him. Bewitch the prison guards and say things that shouldn't be said.

The prison guards hastily left the dining car and left the prison, hurrying back and forth as if avoiding the plague god.

After Lieutenant General Ruth's "prison robbery" failed that day, he handed over the mecha space button and video evidence in his hand under the witness of several people, and he was guaranteed a fair and just trial, and then he was transferred to this prison. In the cell, the long detention process began.

There is no court trial, no hearing, only unlimited detention. At first, it was only detention. When electronic shackles and a silence collar were suddenly installed on him one day, the prison guards who entered and exited did not dare to say a word to him. The person in charge of the court should have changed, and the direction of the wind has changed.

It’s nothing more than sex. There are entertainment programs, magazines and books to read during meals every day. Compared with the long time spent paralyzed in bed, it should be easier to pass. At first, he didn’t pay much attention to it. Countless forces are playing games, and the longer the trial is postponed, the more it shows that the marshal dare not try and he is not sure.During the silent and long detention, he would control his mental power to be calm, and recall some good things so that his willpower and spiritual power would not be worn down and destroyed.

But gradually he found that in his fond memories, the existence of his robot became more and more vivid.

So much so that when he closed his eyes and opened them again, his robot would still faithfully guard by his side, open the white screen window, and let in the rose-scented breeze.Or the sandstorm on the storm star hitting the glass window, or on the emerald star, his robot is holding him and flying over the blue sea.

He almost doubted that his mental strength had been damaged during this long period of detention, which made him think of his robot so fragilely again and again. The life that was too quiet and no one communicated gave him too much time to review and recall the past.

In order not to let himself be trapped in too rich emotional memories, he often forcibly interrupts his thoughts, frees up his energy, and concentrates on reading a book, or doing calculations in his mind, or like now, when eating, Turn on the light screen and watch those same boring entertainment programs.

Today's broadcast is the song of the Queen of Songs Nightingale. She is too popular now, and she has the support of the Huajian family and the Onegin family. The power of capital has made her prosperous. The war has made people more dependent on entertainment. She is so beautiful. The singing has enabled countless people to temporarily leave reality and indulge in the wonderful singing experience.But today on this stage, she seemed to have lost some weight. Ke Xia was eating the same prison food indifferently while looking at her acquaintances.

Ling Lan'er was wearing a white gauze dress, layers of which looked like exaggerated white rose petals. On the stage, she looked a little sad, but still had the innocence that countless fans were obsessed with: "Today, I am a On the old man’s birthday, I was entrusted by someone to present a song for him, wishing him a happy birthday.”

Ke Xia didn't pay much attention to it, but focused on fighting the lamb chops. After the little song on the light screen, he took out a golden harp. The stage changed, layers of white roses bloomed, and the gentle woman in the white gauze skirt bowed her head and plucked the strings. , sang a very famous song. This is a poem written by a very famous poet. It is so famous that it was adapted into a song and sung by many people:

To his heart, tell it not to be afraid

Be still, be still, trembling heart;

And remember the wisdom of old:

Let the winds, fires and floods

hide the man, he faces

The wind that blows through the stars,

Trembling with fire and flood, because of him

Not one of the lonely, majestic bunch.

(Note: by Yeats)

The singing is melodious and long, the perfect voice at the back of the song sings such a small song softly and sadly, as if a woman is whispering and wandering, and it is like soft words comforting and coaxing, in the rose petals in the sky, it only makes people feel gentle pole.

Ke Xia suddenly couldn't hold his knife and fork, and looked up at the light screen. He felt that his eyes were hot, but he was still very calm. This song is not long, and the voice after the song is very beautiful. After several times, the curtain call came.

The dinner time was very short, and the broadcast ended. When the prison guards came in, Ke Xia ate his dinner as cleanly as before. There was no difference as usual. The prison guards pulled the dining car away and closed the door. Peace was restored in the single prison. The same dead silence every day.

Only Ke Xia knew that today was different.

It turns out that today is his birthday. His life is too crowded and hasty. He is too busy to look back. He has already forgotten that there is such a thing as a birthday. There are too many more important things than this, let alone his early He lost the family and friends who celebrated his birthday, and was urged to grow up by time, and he didn't need birthday wishes for a long time.

Ke Xia lowered his head, his Adam's apple was rolling up and down, the collar prevented him from making a sound, his lips were turned up, and his eye sockets were so hot, his -- hopeless robot nanny, he still regarded himself as the one in the past who would be afraid, would Vulnerable child?At this time, let people sing a song that my mother sang to celebrate my birthday.

In the past so many years, since I remember my birthday, why didn't I celebrate it for myself?I chose such a day when I was so embarrassed and small.

This is a day he will never forget.
