Marshal is always tired [Interstellar]

Facts have proved that both the marshal and the prince were a little worried. Not to mention the queen, at least the emperor's ability to adapt was extremely good, and he happily accepted his son's abduction back to the imperial marshal as his wife.

To be precise, His Majesty seemed to be more concerned about this matter than the two parties involved, and he even started to discuss the style of the two people's wedding dresses on the spot.

It's just that everyone agrees that this matter should not be made public for the time being - at least until the challenge has a result.

This game that concerns the future fate of hundreds of millions of people, after the high-level consultations between the two countries, decided not to disclose it to the public for the time being. That's right, the galaxies are integrated to prepare for the war of aggression, there is no need to add some unstable factors that may cause dissatisfaction.

Even so, His Majesty's enthusiasm and determination to prepare for it are unstoppable.

In the end, Qin Jue almost fled back to the Marshal's Mansion with Ian in a rather embarrassing situation. He deeply felt that he was quite powerless to face an old royal fox without Rand's assistance. Of course, he was also very happy that he was accepted smoothly.

"Come on," Rand, who had just peeled an apple, came out of the kitchen while nibbling gracefully, and sneered at the two of them, "Is there anything he can't be satisfied with? It's hard to find a parent who refuses to let you be with your child."

Ian coughed dryly and sat on the sofa, instead of looking at Rand opposite, he just picked out a very large apple and began to peel it round and round.

As a main weapon is a halberd... A person who has just started cooking, his knife skills are not very good, the apple skin is intermittent, sometimes thick and sometimes thin, and there is a lot of light yellow pulp on the peeled peel.

Qin Jue shook his head, sat down next to him, raised his legs and waited to eat the apple: "I don't care if it's an exaggeration or not, I always thought that the identity issue might become our biggest obstacle, but I didn't expect that your majesty would actually He agreed so simply, and he has a big heart."

"What a big heart," Rand sneered, and consciously sat opposite the two of them, "You can't be wrong about what you thought, but now that the situation has changed, his attitude will naturally be different."

Ian quickly cut the apple peel, handed the result to Qin Jue, and nodded in agreement: "Your status is always different now——No one knows that there is a new realm beyond the ninth rank. , even though your status was detached at that time, you were always restrained by Anda. It was this delicate balance between the two countries that made the three forces in our country stand together. But once you made a breakthrough, the whole situation would also be broken gone."

Qin Jue reacted quickly: "That's right, after the golden stage, personal strength has officially become the decisive force that can fight against large-scale armies. The bargaining chips I hold in my hands now are no longer the same as before."

"More importantly," Ian said in a deep voice, "we came back this time and brought back brand new news about the Cosmic Alliance. The Milky Way is facing a catastrophe, and even the barrier between the Empire and the Federation has been erased to the point It is no longer visible, and there is no need to continue to put the small conflicts between domestic forces on the table. Now is the time when we need unity most, and we can use this method to shake hands with the military. , my royal father will probably feel that he has made a lot of money."

Qin Jue smiled, shook his head, and began to concentrate on eating the apple in his hand.

Rand watched the two of them interact, chewing slowly, with an unpredictable look in his eyes.

"By the way, speaking of which, there is one more important thing," he casually threw the fruit core into the cleaning box on the other side of the table, turned on the hand sanitizer on the armrest of the sofa and washed his hands, talking about the weather in a Talking about the matter that was almost in the back of Qin Jue's mind, "The contract you signed with Lin Huan before, the medicinal materials needed to break the contract have been roughly collected... You brought it back from the Cosmic Alliance this time. A lot of new gadgets that are unheard of here, but they made up all the difficult places in the pharmacy at once."

"Really?" Qin Jue's eyes lit up, and he almost jumped up from the sofa.

"Of course," Rand narrowed his eyes and smiled lightly, "Although those children don't seem to have any bad intentions, and their temperaments are also good, but this kind of thing that is too restrictive has been resolved long ago. Good morning, you are ready to start in the next two days."

Qin Jue couldn't wait: "Then what do I need to prepare? Uh...do I need Lin Huan to be present?"

"No," Rand shook his head, and answered two questions with a pun, "They don't know your identity yet, so whether you want to talk about this matter and when you want to say it is up to you. After the contract, it will not have much impact on the overall situation."

He suddenly remembered something, and smiled playfully: "These young people are really good, and their relationship with you doesn't look like a fake - when you disappeared, I reported it directly according to your previous arrangement The news of 'Qin Luo''s death, although the Federation has received a lot of criticism, they are not less sad about it."

Qin Jue and Ian looked at each other, feeling slightly sorry.

He really didn't think about telling the truth about his identity before, just like the emperor said before, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better. If something goes wrong, it's too late to regret it.

But the relationship between people is undoubtedly the most precious. Although he was with Ian in the end, but seriously, the relationship between those few people and him is not much worse than Ian, except for the part of the Cosmic Alliance. Everything between them is done together. Although friendship and love are different, there is no doubt that there is no difference between them.

At that time, within the space of the competition, although Ian was the only one who chose to stay and wait for him to go with him, it was hard to tell which choice was more appropriate in that situation. Although he was thankful and moved by Ian's behavior , but this kind of hot-headed choice alone has criticized him a lot-no matter what the starting point is, as a prince of a country, he is really not worthy of praise for doing so willfully.

The behavior of the rest of the team was undoubtedly more sensible and appropriate, and it turned out that they did help a lot in the chaotic scene.

Thinking about it this way, it really doesn't seem very kind to hide it from them.

Rand waited for a while, and seeing that he didn't speak, he took it up himself: "If you say that you really should have kept it a secret from them, after all, the identities and positions of that small group are too complicated. But it's the same as the question just now. ——The current situation is completely different, we should jump out of the inertial mode of thinking in the past. You can think about it again, anyway, it will take a few days to prepare for the release of the contract, so there is no rush to make a decision. "

Ian smiled wryly: "This actually made it difficult for me to meet them. After all these days, it's time to get together with everyone, but this matter is stuck. How embarrassing is it to think about it? Even now, I haven’t been able to meet them.”

Rand replied: "They know you are busy—they are also very busy. I introduced them directly to the military department before, and now they each have their own work to do. They have been making a fuss these two days when you came back. If you want to ask for leave, I'm not sure yet, let's wait until when you make a decision."

Ian nodded gratefully. If he were to face those old friends directly now, he really didn't know how to explain the competition space.

——After all, the version they heard was that Qin Luo had unfortunately died in that battle. As a pursuer who devoted his heart and soul, his current mood must be dejected and dejected... Maybe he would have to face life. Lost the fun.

But he obviously didn't. It's a pity that His Royal Highness doesn't have the talent and brains of the Marshal God. In Luojia, it is enough for him to make the best courses in this major. What about minor courses such as acting? I really don't have time to go up.

To be honest, he didn't even dare to imagine what would happen to him if he really lost Qin Jue... It was really terrible, so terrible that people refused to hypothesize.

Fortunately... he fell in love with such an excellent person, and the fate between them is not shallow.

After Qin Jue finished eating the apples and washed his hands, he put one hand next to Ian's and patted him gently as comfort.

He thought for a while, and put this matter aside for the time being: "Let's not talk about it... let's talk about the release of the contract. I don't care about anything. Then when the contract comes into contact, Lin Huan will Will you feel it?"

"There must be a little bit of induction," Rand spread his hands, "After all, this is his innate skill, and the Lin family doesn't know which ancient bloodline has been mixed in, so they can possess what only beast cultivators can possess in a human body. Talent skills, although the effect is very tasteless, but they should not be underestimated."

Qin Jue was taken aback: "Since there is a sense, doesn't that mean telling her that I'm not dead?"

"Don't worry about that," Rand crossed his hands on his knees, "The Lin family has not awakened this skill for many generations, and the records in their own family are also vague and half-understood—the Great Elder didn't even know that his granddaughter inherited it. This talent, so Lin Huan's ability to control the contract is very superficial, and he doesn't know what that feeling means."

He paused, and then said: "Actually, if you are determined to hide it from them, this can be regarded as an ironclad proof of your 'death'."

"..." Qin Jue quickly understood what he meant, but the question went back to the point he wanted to avoid just now.

The contract is broken, and Lin Huan and the others who don't know the truth will definitely regard this as the last straw that crushes the camel's camel. At most, they will hesitate why the contract induction is so delayed, but they will no longer have any doubts about his "death". any objection.

Qin Jue and Yi En's eyes met again, and they both saw the hesitation in each other's eyes.

So, should we tell them the truth?
