one step away [Interstellar]

91.

How did Xia Zuo respond to that sentence of yearning?

She just responded softly, "Okay."

The communication between them didn't last long, and they hung up soon.Strangely enough, Heber's restless heart settled down.Behind her invisible communication, Xia Zuo, who took off his heavy coat, was quickly helped to the bed by the nurse who had been standing by.

The azure blue eyes quickly dimmed after losing the energy to support them.The immature face that looked majestic because of the delicate makeup became bleak after losing the delicate eye decoration.Xia Zuo sat on the bed, looking pale and weak.

"Thank you." Xia Zuo sat on the bed, looked at Checil who was standing by, and sincerely thanked him.

After winter, the defense battle became more and more intense.In a battle not long ago, Xia Zuo, as the commander, once again drove a warship to the front line, only to encounter a terrifying military attack.The warship was destroyed in half and crashed into the gathering place of the Zerg.Fortunately, Xia Zuo reacted quickly, commanding everyone on the warship to drive the mechs back to the base, but encountered a sneak attack while returning to high altitude.Under the siege, the rest of the people protected Xia Zuo and returned to the base after exploding the mecha.

Most of the people on the warship escaped from the attack, only the guards protecting Xia Zuo survived.Even Xia Zuo was in a coma for more than half a month because of the concussion to the head and suffocation due to lack of oxygen.

Fortunately, except for the arm injury, Xia Zuo who woke up was in good health.After checking his body, Xia Zuo asked Chelsea about the remaining matters.

After Xia Zuo was injured, they immediately reported to the upper echelons of the military headquarters. According to the regulations, the command of the Sass military region was handed over to Chesil, who was already a major general.Chesil was brought into the Guard by Xia Zuo back then, and after what happened to Xia Zuo, he stayed in the Guard until Xia Zuo resumed active duty and applied to be transferred to Sass.

As a general who has a deep relationship with Xia Zuo, he was naturally very attentive when Xia Zuo was attacked.Those who attacked the warship that day were a group of notorious gangster fleets wandering across the stars. In the following time, such rogue fleets attacked the bases on the edge of the empire one after another.

The upper echelon of the empire is very clear about the origin of this group of warships, but it is because some time ago, the empire occupied a newly developed small energy galaxy, and some countries did not taste the sweetness in the process of negotiating with the eldest princess. Therefore, while instigating people to rob energy, they are harassing at the border.

More than two years ago, after the eldest princess changed her surname, her external image became more and more friendly to the people.Attend certain meetings frequently and maintain a sense of presence from time to time.The eldest princess, who was originally very good among the people, now has an even better reputation.

People regretted that she gave up her inheritance rights, and felt that it was a very lucky thing that the next Omega Queen was like this.In such regrets, people desperately hope that she will continue to be active in the political arena, so they are full of expectations for her next entry into the cabinet.

But being so close to the people in the country, the princess's foreign policy is obviously much tougher.Because of Xia Zuo's appointment to Sass, the military news had reported it.This is a time to completely restore Xia Zuo's bad image caused by that turmoil, because it can be said that it is widely known.

In addition, Xia Zuo is the eldest princess's child, some people who choose revenge will naturally not let this place go.Their wish was to give the eldest princess some warnings, but some people in the upper echelon couldn't see Xia Zuohao, so the warnings were a little heavier, so that the warship was damaged.

This group of people didn't dare to take Xia Zuo's life, they just got a little heavier when Sass was playing.What really hurt Xia Zuo was the attack when he returned to the base.That attack was aimed at Xia Zuo.

As if knowing that those people were coming to attack the base, on Xia Zuo's return trip, the squad that seized the opportunity attacked Xia Zuo and was directly seriously injured.

It was Gaia Weil who was stationed at another base next to Sass who ordered this group of people to attack Xia Zuo.He attacked Xia Zuo for many reasons. For example, not long ago, his father was caught for corruption. Not long ago, their family's construction industry was investigated for construction problems. It was he and Maureen before that. The object of service, Marshal Norton, retired, and the Winston family fell with the silver snake.

Gaia, who felt that she would be approached sooner or later, chose to seize the opportunity and tricked Xia Zuo when serving the new system.Taking the opportunity to let Xia Zuo die unexpectedly, then the eternal title of the Weir family will fall into the hands of the highland collaterals, and Xia Zuo's property is enough for him to climb to the top.

As long as Xia Zuo's death is regarded as a death in line of duty, it will be fine.

However, this improvised plan out of fear was not perfect, because the attack on the warship was targeted, and the other bases were only slightly damaged, and Xia Zuo was severely injured, which was clearly aimed at Xia Zuo.

They also just thought it was because of the eldest princess that it affected their children.However, the cautious eldest princess became more careful after Xia Zuo was injured. You can't imagine what a mother who almost lost her child would do.

For several days in a row, the eldest princess sent out messages to expel these warships. These fleets, which were originally wandering in the interstellar space, became wanted criminals in the entire galaxy, and were beaten up by the empire's interstellar patrols.The unwilling princess investigated a series of people, and even hinted at the instigator of the revenge face-to-face, and found the truth when she was preparing to launch a military campaign.

Yes, the leaders of various countries have already had a deep understanding of the eldest princess's character of vengeance, so everyone dare not try to touch the eldest princess's bottom line.After all, before the eldest princess had fully become the real leader of the empire, she dared to smash the immature military department.

Now facing a behemoth like the Empire, everyone thinks it is better not to offend Ni Lin.The leaders of various countries who vaguely knew what stupid things the instigator had done said that he deserved to face the anger of the eldest princess next.So, during this short period of time, the empire sent troops to seize a planet again, and no one said anything more.

Yes, the eldest princess is known as a woman who protects her shortcomings and has little to see.Although he behaved arbitrarily, far less gentle and wise than his queen mother, but he never suffered a disadvantage, not only did he not suffer a disadvantage, but also made the leaders of the entire galaxy tremble.

The eldest princess, who took advantage of her daughter's injury to blackmail a fortune, was relieved to hear the news that Xia Zuo had woken up after sending Gaia's group to prison.After contacting Xia Zuo for the first time, seeing Xia Zuo's pale face, the princess kept crying with distress.After finally comforting his mother, Xia Zuo accepted the physical examination.

The new commander, who had been guarding outside all the time, knocked on the door and entered the ward after Xia Zuo had checked his body, and reported to Xia Zuo in time.Xia Zuo, who had already understood the current situation, gave a temporary order after listening to the report.When the nurse asked her to lie down and rest again, she asked Checil for something.

"That's why you asked me to do your makeup for you..." Looking at the pale general sitting on the head of the bed, Chesil's expression looked very subtle.

"Otherwise she will be worried..." Xia Zuo smiled, looked at Checil and said, "How long will it take for me to be discharged from the hospital?"

"I asked the doctor before, and it will be fine when my body recovers, about a week or so." After hearing the officer's question, Chesil quickly returned to work and replied in time.

"Can I have a vacation? I mean, the kind that can leave Sass..." Xia Zuo asked again, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"I'm sorry, General, you also know the discipline of the military department. However, the winter martial law is ready to end, so it can be easier here... We can apply for a transfer for you..." Before she could finish speaking, she saw standing The eyes of Xia Zuo in front of him lit up.

How should I put it, such a general does not look at all like the proud, reliable and upright young officer in memory, but rather like a boy who has just entered school, extremely childish.Is it because... fell in love?

Chesil sighed, and re-examined the person in front of her again. She felt that it would be better for her to put away all the remaining admiration.It is far better to be a pure subordinate than to be her admirer.After all, their dear general was too much of a provocation.

After getting in touch with Xia Zuo briefly, Heber, who has settled down, has recently been busy with the children's competition.Li Qi and Chenuo, who went to Leedsburg with Sylvia to rehearse with the choir, have been singing better and better recently.

In his spare time, Heber almost finished the dresses for the children.She used Xia Zuo's military uniform as a reference, and made a smaller version to wear on the two sisters.The uniform of the fleet officer Xia Zuo belongs to is pure black with a gold medal.In order not to be discovered by others, Heber made changes near the epaulettes.

Li Qi and Chenuo really liked a set of clothes, and after their mother made them, they couldn't wait to try them on.After watching the two sisters put on their clothes, Heber helped them to pull out their pressed hair, straightened their collars, buttoned their buttons, and tied their ties respectively.

"Okay." Looking at the daughters standing in front of them in neat uniforms, Heber reached out and touched their heads, and said, "Then I will wear a set tomorrow."

"Yeah, okay, Mom." Cheno nodded, obviously, she liked this suit very much, and buttoned it from time to time to express her joy.

Li Qi was also very happy, the two girls with loose long hair smiled very cleanly in front of Heber.Looking at these two almost similar faces, He Bo couldn't help but think of Xia Zuo.

She really looks like her. If someone recognizes her tomorrow, she will be prepared to face some troublesome things.However, it is not bad.

As she comforted herself like this, she felt that the hem of her clothes was being gently pulled.Looking down, I saw Li Qi blinking her big watery eyes, and said softly to her, "Mom, Sylvia said that she will be on TV tomorrow, will Charles watch TV?"

"Yeah, Mom, I haven't seen Shire for a long time. Cheno misses her very much, um... Li Qi also misses her very much. Does she miss us?" Qian Nuo also stretched out his hand, tugging at his mother and asked.

Heber looked at the two immature faces in front of him, knelt down and took them into his arms, and said softly, "I thought about it, so Charles will watch TV."

"Come on hard tomorrow, baby."

"Yeah, we'll sing well." The twins hugged Heber, kissed her from left to right, and said sweetly, "Thank you mom for making the clothes for us."

I will definitely sing well tomorrow.

Thinking so, the twins are full of expectations for tomorrow's game.In the same way, the Lezburg singing competition, after receiving a schedule notice, was full of excitement and joy for tomorrow's competition.

In the finals of the upcoming children's songwriting competition, we have a surprise character.
