Same light

The wind was cold and the snow was blowing.

The holographic projection signboard outside the bar sensed the approach of people and lit up a circle of colored lights. Unfortunately, the signboard was aging and the response was a bit delayed. When the words "Welcome" lighted up and floated in the air, the visitor had already passed through this place. A holographic projection taller than a person rushed into the bar.

The lights in the bar were dim.

This asteroid, Xueli Star, is far away from the central star, and is extremely cold all year round. After transformation, the only area that can barely survive in this area is also long days and short nights.

The nights are short and there is not enough sleep, so the only way to pretend is that there is a nightlife by covering the windows and dimming the lights.This bar does just that.

More than half of the people in the bar were wearing the uniform of uniforms, and the other guests had already seen it.

There is a royal army stationed in the snow-capped mountains not far away—it seems to be a newly-established army. The local residents don’t know what their numbers and code names are, and they don’t care too much. Anyway, those soldiers are deep in the snow-capped mountains every day. Training everywhere, usually can't see each other.Only on the rest days of each month, the men and women drinking in the bars at the foot of the mountain will see some officers and soldiers who use the rest days to relax and have fun.

"Breaking news, breaking news!"

The man who rushed into the bar just now shouted loudly. He took off his antifreeze suit and shook it vigorously, shaking the snowflakes and ice crystals on the ground to the ground.

A flat and small cleaning machine staggered and slid over, stretched out its tool hand and began to deal with the snow water on the ground.The noisy voice in the bar was silent for a moment because of the man's shout, and then became more lively.

"Haha, Lao Yang, you just woke up from a hangover, right?"

"We already know that!"

"You may be the last person to see the news on Xue Lixing, hahaha."

"Yang, I told you to drink less yesterday, you didn't listen to the advice..."

The middle-aged man named Yang was not annoyed when he was laughed at by everyone, he squeezed into the middle of his acquainted drinking buddies, waved to the waiter for a drink, and said with a smile: "You guys are so mean, you don't send a text message for such a big matter. Wake me up!"

"What did you wake up for?"

"I'd better get ready early, buy decent clothes, shave my beard clean, and then get a haircut!"

The people next to him laughed even harder, and a man laughed loudly and said, "It seems that the prince came to see you specially! Are you a relative of the emperor?"

Lao Yang retorted loudly: "Why didn't the prince come to see me on purpose? He came to visit the residents of Xueli Star—am I not a resident of Xueli Star?"

The crowd burst into laughter at his thick skin. Above their heads, the three-dimensional newscaster formed by holographic projection was still tirelessly popularizing the life of the current crown prince.

The firstborn son of the current emperor of the empire and His Royal Highness the former empress, he was named "Xiu".

In this era where the average life expectancy has already exceeded 150 years, and the life expectancy of some people with advanced genes can reach about 28 years old, [-] years old is really very young.However, the crown prince was already very prestigious at such a young age.

Although he did not show any special genetic ability, he has excellent academic performance, extraordinary bearing, gentleness and politeness, is enthusiastic about charity and public welfare, and never engages in any bad habits.Since childhood, His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the emperor, has always been an excellent role model for the children of the royal family, and he is an extremely qualified heir.

Two years ago, as the crown prince, he came to the battlefield to oversee the battle, and completely wiped out the rebel army that had plagued the empire for decades, which pushed his reputation to the peak.

The glory of the empire!

Everyone praised their flawless Crown Prince so highly.

Even an idle drunkard like Lao Yang feels honored by Xiu's upcoming visit to Xue Li Xing, which shows how deeply His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"The prince's coming here is probably related to us. It has nothing to do with him being a drunkard."

In the corner of the bar, a soldier in military uniform sneered in a low voice.

"That's it." The comrade sitting next to him agreed.

Another soldier frowned and said, "The crown prince came so suddenly, we didn't receive any prior notice."

"If you want to notify the officers, of course we won't receive it... Hey, Fred! Didn't you just get promoted to second lieutenant? Do you have any inside information?"

Sitting surrounded by several soldiers was a young man named "Fred".

For the rank of lieutenant, he looked too young - he seemed to be in his early twenties, an age when most people hadn't graduated from school.

Among the young soldiers who got together to drink, he had the highest military rank, but he didn't have any pretensions, and everyone had no objection to him.Having performed missions on Xueli Planet together for two years, Fred's combat ability is obvious to all.

After being called by name, he said, "I did know yesterday—Miss, please refill my glass of fire kisses, thank you."

The passing waiter was busy and wanted to say "wait a moment" when she was stopped, but when she turned her head and saw the young man's face clearly, she immediately withdrew her thought.

The young officer was sitting in the darkest corner. The dim lights of the bar did not damage his handsomeness at all, but added a little unrestrained flair to his deep features.His brilliant short blond hair, which shines even in such a place, is immediately impressive.

At this moment, he was lazily leaning on the soft sofa cushions in the bar, the collar buttons of his military uniform were undone, revealing the strong muscles under his clothes.

"Hi, hello." She poured the wine, brushed her curly long hair, and smiled charmingly, "Is this your first time at our bar?"

Fred smiled back and asked, "Miss, how do you know it's my first time here?"

"A handsome soldier like you, if I've been here, I can't forget it." The waiter threw a wink and asked boldly in public, "Are you free tonight?"

Xue Lixing's folk style is open and warm, just like the best-selling spirits and fire kiss on this ice and snow planet.

The soldiers around him were booing and laughing, but Fred, far less shy than most boys his age, returned a hat-off—even though he wasn't wearing a hat.

"Thank you for the invitation, beautiful lady. I'd love to say 'free', but today is just unfortunate—my darling's spaceship is arriving in Hong Kong soon, and I have to pick him up."

"Oh! Do you have a partner?" The waiter said a little disappointed, shrugging, "Forget it, I'm not interested in someone who has a partner."

The beautiful waiter left, but the soldiers sitting around became lively.

"Fred! Did you boy have a girlfriend?"

"Just handed in." Fred admitted generously.

"Not bad, Fred! You are very proud of your career and love!"

A few people were joking about Fred's love affair, when they suddenly heard a vague scolding from another table.

"They were all born to the first queen. The prince is the glory of our empire, but the third prince doesn't treat ordinary people as human beings. It's not a thing!"

"Be quiet, you are dying!" The companion at the same table said quickly, and glanced at the corner occupied by the royal garrison in a panic.

So the voice at the table became quieter, and a soldier whispered, "Foolish people. How could the incident two years ago be as simple as they thought?"

Two years ago, the rebel army was completely wiped out, and it was not honorable to win that battle.Just talking about the royal family, two princes came to the battlefield in person, and at the end of the war, one made great achievements, while the other was exiled.

The meritorious person is the crown prince who supervised the whole battle, and the one who seized the title and exiled is the third prince Alfred who made a "wrong command" at the last moment. A prince, at the last moment of the stalemate with the rebels, ordered the use of destructive anti-star weapons, directly destroying an asteroid, together with the rebels and civilians on the planet.

Now the rebel army was wiped out, but the turbulent public opinion almost flooded the Holy Golden Palace. The little prince, who was only 19 years old at the time, was deprived of the title of prince and exiled to the border to think about his mistakes. This barely quelled the public anger.

It's no wonder that the mention of the third prince in such a commoner bar is full of curses.

The reason why civilians are civilians is because most of them do not have superior genetic abilities, they are just ordinary people.Since the development of the interstellar society, it has long passed the stage where people with special genetic abilities are required to expand territories and maintain civilization. Today, in such an era of worry-free survival, it has gradually advocated that people are born equal.

In such an era, the third prince ignored the lives of civilians in pursuit of the results of the war, how could he not be reviled by the whole people.

"What happened two years ago has nothing to do with us." Another soldier who was more stable said, "We just need to complete the current mission on Xueli Planet."

"It's hard to say." Fred said, shaking his glass, and the blood-red fire-kissed wine was rippling in the glass, "The prince is already on his way...it happens to be the end of our mission."

After he said this, the expressions of the other soldiers became more subtle. Someone said: "If the crown prince really came here for this matter, someone will naturally deal with it. It's not that... the exile place of the third prince is near Xueli Xing ?"

Fred asked with interest: "Who said that?"

"I guess." The soldier shrugged. "The communication base station here is so bad, but every time our message is processed very quickly, it means that the person who issued the order is not far away. At least it is impossible to be on the other cantilever." Bar?"

Another person said: "The third prince has been complaining of illness for the past two years, probably because he is not used to the extreme climate on the border. After all, he is the youngest prince. He grew up pampered in the Holy Golden Palace. How can he not fall ill in a place like this?"

Fred nodded in agreement: "It makes sense."

He pressed his wrist, and a string of vein-like blue words appeared on his strong wrist, which was the local time.

"It's getting late, I have to go." Fred waved goodbye to these young soldiers, "It was a pleasure drinking with everyone, and we will meet again next time."

Outside the bar, there was already a snowmobile with blacked-out windows waiting on the side of the road. Fred got into the car straight away. The ordinary and low-key snowmobile started immediately and drove away from the bar smoothly.

In addition to the driver, there was also a slightly thin young man sitting in the car.

"The glory of the empire..." Fred chuckled sarcastically, leaned back in his chair, and ordered, "Go to Starship Port."

"Yes," the young man replied respectfully, "Your Highness."
