Humans collapse into slag

Lin Qi was frightened last night, and did not take a nap until early this morning. After returning to Liao's house, he took a shower and then went to bed.

Although the sleep cabin is efficient, it lacks the satisfaction brought by natural sleep. When conditions permit, most people like to sleep on the bed.

It was a long sleep, and it was almost evening when I woke up.

After waking up, Lin Qi met Liao Yuning in the living room on the second floor. The latter was sitting on a bench by the floor-to-ceiling windows. The twilight outside the window was bleak and the scenery was bleak, but the interior was warm and cozy.

There are still many light screens floating in front of Liao Yuning, and the images are constantly changing.

"I woke up." Seeing Lin Qi coming, Liao Yuning pushed away the light screen and pointed to the small table next to him, "Are you hungry? Dinner will take a while, but here are some snacks made by Aunt Diana, you can Try it first."

When he was in school, Liao Yuning lived a very restrained life. He never touched any snacks and snacks outside of the main meal, and only relaxed a little after returning home.

The housekeeper of the Liao family was proficient in culinary skills, and the dim sum she made was exquisite and beautiful, which made Lin Qi's index finger twitch.

"Okay." Lin Qi was not polite, sat down and poured himself a cup of herbal tea, and ate snacks while drinking tea.

Liao Yuning picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and asked, "Aren't you going to tomorrow's event?"

Tomorrow is December 12th, which is the anniversary of the victory of the Silver Ash Empire.

On the morning of the Memorial Day, His Majesty the Emperor will preside over a mourning ceremony for the victims at the Wuwangshan National Cemetery, and Liao Yuning will attend as a representative of the families of the fallen soldiers.

Ordinary people are allowed to sign up for the memorial ceremony. Of course, it is too late for Lin Qi to sign up now, but Liao Yuning's invitation letter can carry one person.

Lin Qi shook his head, "I'll just watch the live broadcast on the light screen, it's too troublesome to go to the scene, and I don't have suitable clothes."

"Clothes? The black military uniform of our college is very suitable." Liao Yuning suggested: "I always wear it like that."

Lin Qi spread his hands, "But I didn't bring it."

"It's okay." Liao Yuning said again: "All the clothes I wore in the past few years are left here. If you don't mind, you can wear mine."

Lin Qi drooped the corners of his mouth: "Hearing you say that, I feel very humiliated."

Liao Yuning was taken aback, "What's wrong?"

"Obviously I was half a head taller than you in the first grade, but now I'm reduced to picking up your clothes from the past few years." Lin Qi clenched his fists in a gesture of grief and indignation, "God is so unfair!"

Liao Yuning couldn't help smiling when he heard that, Lin Qi was indeed half a head taller than him in the first grade, but now it's completely reversed, so he comforted: "You can do more exercise in the future, and you can grow taller."

Lin Qi raised his head and sighed, "I still don't know about my body, it has nothing to do with exercise, it's determined by genes."

The two were chatting when Liao Yuning's communicator suddenly sent a reminder. After a glance, his expression became serious.

Standing up and making a silent gesture, Liao Yuning joined the video call.

A man in military uniform appeared on the light screen. From the epaulets, the military rank was a colonel. The man said: "Liao Yuning, this is the Imperial City Inner Court Affairs Office. I am Chris Wharton, the Chief Guard of the Imperial City."

Liao Yuning raised his hand to salute, "Colonel Wharton."

"Your Majesty summoned us urgently. Please be prepared." Wharton said, "The special car sent by the Guards will arrive in 10 minutes."

Liao Yuning didn't drag his feet, and answered yes directly.

After the call ended and the light screen disappeared, Lin Qi stammered and asked, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty summoned you? Why?"

Liao Yuning looked solemn: "I don't know."

Lin Qi asked again: "Does Your Majesty often summon you?"

"No, this is only the second time if I summon you alone." Liao Yuning frowned and said, "The first time was when I first came to the Imperial Capital galaxy."

After complaining that Liao Yuning and Liao Xingshen "do not look alike at all", Emperor Yuan Chang never saw him again. Of course, meeting in public is not counted, but even on the anniversary event, Liao Yuning guessed that the emperor didn't notice much my own.

This emergency summons was really too abrupt.

However, there was no time to think about it at the moment, Liao Yuning said to Lin Qi: "I'm going to change clothes, please help me tell Aunt Diana that I can't have dinner at home."

"Uh, good." Lin Qi responded, thinking that Aning was really calm, and he could still think of dinner when he was summoned urgently by the emperor.

In 10 minutes, no more, no less, the flying car sent by the Inner Court Affairs Office stopped outside the gate of Liao's house.

After Liao Yuning got on the car, the flying car rose to an altitude of more than 300 meters, which has greatly exceeded the height limit of the civil flying car in Weixing City, and it is an airspace that only special vehicles can use.

There were also two Guards officers on the flying car, a lieutenant as the driver and a major as the co-pilot. The isolation screen between the front and rear rows was not opened, but these two obviously had no intention of greeting Liao Yuning.

Liao Yuning sat alone in the back row, and could only judge the direction of the speeding car through the distant horizon.

Doesn't look like the route to the palace.

Sure enough, after more than ten minutes, the flying car entered the protective force field of the Royal Palace of Lianyun Mountain.

The flying car landed, and after identity verification and security scanning, Liao Yuning was invited to board a hover car.

Lianyun Mountain Palace is the royal garden with the longest history in the Yinzhu Empire. There are countless exquisite buildings, exotic flowers and plants, huge trees with luxuriant branches and leaves, towering into the clouds, and the suspension vehicle flies close to the road on the ground, as if passing through Fish swimming among aquatic plants.

The suspension car finally stopped under a long corridor, and the court servants who came to greet him led Liao Yuning to continue walking.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the golden brilliance of the setting sun shone on the promenade inlaid with colored glazed stones. After complex refraction and reflection, it presented colorful rays of light in the air.

Judging from the architectural style, this promenade should have a history of hundreds of years.

The long corridor leads to a white building hidden among flowers and trees. After the attendant opened the door, Liao Yuning found that this place is probably a small military museum, because it displays all the individual weapons and equipment that were widely used during the Zerg War.

Behind the weapons and equipment, there are more than a dozen metal dolls, all wearing various old Imperial Army uniforms.

Further forward, is a space fighter.

Beyonder Two.

This is the fighter that Liao Yuning is most familiar with. When he first learned to speak, he could accurately find it among a bunch of pictures of fighters.

Because, that is the fighter that Liao Xingshen once flew.

wrong!

Liao Yuning stopped suddenly, and he found a huge silver ash leaf printed on the flank of the fighter plane, which was the logo of an ace pilot.

The war lasted for 20 years. During this period, there were many fighters who were hailed as ace pilots, but the most famous and legendary one was Liao Yuning's titular grandfather.

This fighter plane is exactly the same as the picture Liao Yuning knew when he was babbling, but the Transcendor II that Liao Xingshen drove should be kept in the Imperial War Museum.

"Copy?" Liao Yuning whispered to himself.

"No, it's real, the one in the museum is a replica."

Liao Yuning turned his head suddenly, and saw a tall and thin old man standing not far away. He was wearing a black military uniform, with drooping eyes and gray temples, but his straight figure and sharp eyes still had the look of looking down on the world. momentum.

"His Majesty."

Liao Yuning stood at attention and saluted.

As a student of the Ship and Fighter Aircraft Department of the Imperial Military Academy, Liao Yuning belongs to the Imperial Army Reserve, and the old man in front of him is the Chairman of the Imperial Security Committee and the Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army, so the military salute is also very appropriate.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Yuan Chang returned a gift to Liao Yuning.

"I've grown a lot taller," said the supreme ruler of the empire.

Liao Yuning didn't know what to answer for a while, such a homely conversation should not have appeared between them, he never thought that the emperor would pay attention to his height.

"come on."

Emperor Yuan Chang signaled the young military students to follow him, and the two walked out of this small museum one after the other, walked through the halls and corridors, and finally came to a place full of life.

restaurant.

The tableware has been set, for two.

"The time is not coincidental. I have other arrangements in the evening, so I can only chat with you while eating."

Emperor Yuanchang walked to the main seat and sat down on his own, and Liao Yuning sat opposite the emperor. He still didn't know why the emperor was looking for him today, but he was not so nervous anymore.

According to common sense, if the emperor came to ask himself to blame for what happened to Feng Yi last night, naturally there is no need to invite him to dinner.

The two sat down, and the servants began to serve the dishes.

Folks have been saying that Emperor Yuanchang was strict with himself and lived a frugal life. He abandoned all the extravagance and pleasure of the previous emperor's period. He didn't like banquets, didn't accept the harem, and didn't even have children.

For an interstellar empire with a vast territory, supporting such an emperor is indeed quite low cost.

The emperor's dinner was also simple, without any fancy presentation or precious ingredients, basically the same as what Liao Yuning ate at home.

Hey, wait!

Liao Yuning finally discovered the problem. Several of the dishes were actually Li Xing's style.

Yuanchang Emperor Fan Lang was born in Diji. After graduating from the Imperial Military Academy, he joined the Immortal King Legion to serve. Later, he was transferred to the Royal Guards of the Imperial City. He was quickly promoted to the position of commander, and later he became the emperor.

The emperor has never visited Li Xingxing, Liao Yuning can be sure of this, but no matter how big his face is, Liao Yuning will not think that these dishes are specially prepared for himself.

The emperor seemed to see Liao Yuning's surprise.

"The imperial chef here is from Li Xingxing. He is very confident in his cooking skills of his hometown dishes. You can try it."

Liao Yuning ate a piece of honey baked barbecue and commented: "It's really authentic."

Yuan Changdi: "Then it seems that I am not deceived."

Next, Emperor Yuanchang asked Liao Yuning some academic questions, and his attitude was the same as that of an ordinary elder who cared about the younger generation.

Liao Yuning was full of doubts, but answered one by one.

Because there were no complicated etiquette and procedures, the meal was eaten very quickly. In less than 10 minutes, the attendants began to serve desserts and fruits.

Picking up a cup of herbal tea, the emperor finally got to the point, "I heard that you cut Feng Li's trachea last night."

Pfft, Liao Yuning choked on the tea in his mouth.
