[Interstellar] The king who doesn't want to return

Zuo Shaobai's style is that if you don't move, you are done, and it is a blockbuster.

Within a few days, the intelligence department took repeated actions, almost sweeping up the entire capital city, and seized countless spies and related industries of the empire.After all, the arrested young man with five-colored hair is not low in status. The so-called influence of one hair can affect the whole body. This time the empire's spies in the Federation suffered heavy losses. I am afraid that it will not recover in a few years.

And Tang Rui... These days, he chose the safest place to avoid the limelight - Zuo Shaobai's residence!Anyway, Major General Zuo's family has a big business, and there is no shortage of food and lodging for him in the villa, plus a rabbit and two bodyguards.

However, Jiang Mi and Li Qi were very depressed, not to mention losing the target they wanted to protect, and when things were about to end, it didn't even have any effect. hit.

What's more, the two of them really didn't know what expression to use when they saw Tang Rui who treated Zuo Shaobai's house as his own.

After checking Tang Rui's information, they certainly knew that Tang Rui and Zuo Shaobai were contemporaries of the Central Military Academy. It's not surprising that they have a friendship, but it's scary to have such a good relationship.

"Well... the major general won't get angry, right?" Seeing that the whole living room has turned into a second-hand goods disposal factory, full of messy things, both of them are extremely sad.

And the key point is, how did Tang Rui bring so many parts and appliances?Obviously his luggage is only one bag, so it must belong to Major General Zuo's family, right?

"Should...you're all right?" Jiang Mi answered Li Qi's question, and he was also answering himself.

Major General Zuo's attitude towards Tang Rui was very strange, or rather... casual.

"However, it's already this time, why hasn't the major general come back?" Li Qi said worriedly, "Is there anything wrong?"

"What could happen?" Jiang Mi replied, "The lights in the major general's study are usually on until the early hours of the morning, probably because he has important work to do."

"Ah... that's all." Tang Rui put down his work, looked up at the wall clock, and yawned.

"Mr. Tang, why don't you... rest first?" Jiang Mi said.

"Sleepy." Tang Rui stood up, stretched, and said as he walked, "Go to bed early too, don't worry about that guy."

Jiang Mi is very dark, calling the major general "that guy"...

"Boom!" At this moment, the door was kicked open, and the little rabbit, who was lying quietly at Tang Rui's feet, was frightened, jumped up, and got under the sofa directly.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Tang Rui rolled his eyes, "Who is mad at you in the military?"

"I have something to tell you!" Zuo Shaobai's face was very heavy.

"What's wrong?" Tang Rui frowned slightly.

He can tell at a glance whether Zuo Shaobai is serious or a prank, but now this person...is actually more serious than usual?The anger condensed all over the body is about to materialize!

"Major General, could it be the Empire..." Jiang Mi said, looking at Tang Rui worriedly.

"Forget it, you two should listen too." Zuo Shaobai looked at them and sat down on the sofa.

The two looked at each other, both curious.Since Zuo Shaobai said so, it is of course related to them, is it true that the empire still does not give up?This time the loss is not small!

"The fleet sent to pick up the research team has disappeared." Zuo Shaobai said in a deep voice.

"What?" Tang Rui was taken aback for a moment, but didn't realize it all at once.

"You said the captain...is missing?" Li Qi was the first to jump up.

Tang Rui frowned, and suddenly remembered that the one who went to pick up the research team...wasn't it the Chenxi team?

Zuo Shaobai instructed to look at Tang Rui.

"Didn't you say there is no danger?" Tang Rui frowned, his expression still unchanged, at least not on the surface.

"It didn't happen originally, all the way it passed was the territory of the Federation, but I didn't expect that when the fleet passed through an asteroid belt, it encountered shelling." Zuo Shaobai said.

"Bombardment?" Tang Rui thought for a while, "It's impossible for the empire to swagger over to the main gun that can destroy the battleship, and the border patrol team is not blind, so..."

"Xinghe No. [-]." Zuo Shaobai said directly, "The strongest air-to-air main gun, although the size is not small, but it is estimated that it was dismantled and transported over for reassembly. The main gun was destroyed by Zhou Yuze, but lost; the battleship Supplies, it is impossible for mechas to stay in the universe for a long time."

"No news came back?" Tang Rui said.

"Probably because the explosion of Xinghe-[-] caused the collision of several asteroids in the asteroid belt, and the magnetic field in that area was extremely chaotic, making it impossible to contact." Zuo Shaobai said.

"Then Captain and the others...should be all right?" Jiang Mi interjected after listening for a long time.

Zuo Shaobai raised his head, gave him an appreciative look, and then nodded, his expression still heavy: "During this ambush, the Dawn Squad's losses shouldn't be too great, after all, the battleship withstood most of the energy bombardment. But , they now have to find a supply base, if they can’t find a planet to land on before the mecha’s energy is exhausted, they can only wander in the universe, waiting for hundreds of years to become a pile of cosmic garbage!”

"Is there a planet near the ambush?" Jiang Mi continued, "Even if an ambush is planned, those people still need supplies, and it is impossible to stay in the universe, so there must be a planet near that place."

"It's not as simple as you think." Tang Rui sighed, and interjected, "Since the magnetic field is so chaotic that communication makes you laugh, do you think things like radar or star field navigation will still be effective? I don't know if you have learned to use them The naked eye finds its way in the universe."

Jiang Mi's face immediately turned pale when he heard the words, obviously also thinking of the consequences.

"That's right." Zuo Shaobai moved the things on the coffee table, pressed a button, and saw that the glass coffee table turned into a display screen, showing a star map.

Tang Rui moved, sat up straight, and glanced across the picture.

"The location of the ambush is here." Zuo Shaobai nodded, and then moved his fingers slowly, marking a route on the map with a red line, "Dawn's team fought with the Empire, the energy of the mecha must have been consumed , even with a conservative estimate, the only planet that can support their arrival is here—provided the direction is correct.”

"This is..." Tang Rui narrowed his eyes.

"Ah, the first star of human beings—the earth." Zuo Shaobai confirmed his judgment.

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and send someone to rescue!" Li Qi shouted anxiously.

"The rescue fleet is already preparing to go." Zuo Shaobai didn't mind his attitude, and turned his head and said, "Tang Rui, I want you to go with me!"

"I'm a commoner." Tang Rui reminded.

"Even if we find them, no one can guarantee the situation, so we need a mechanic to go with us." Zuo Shaobai continued.

"Don't tell me that the federal army doesn't even have a mechanic." Tang Rui said blackly.

"Of course there are mechanics, but..." Zuo Shaobai sneered, stared at him and gritted his teeth, "You should know that this task was not originally Zhou Yuze's, since you let him go, now something happened, don't you think Should you be responsible?"

"Hey, you're the one who chooses the mission, and I'll let you choose a safe one!" Tang Rui stared back at him without showing any weakness.

"I'm already remediating half of my responsibility, but you don't want to take responsibility for the other half?" Zuo Shaobai was louder than him.

"Uh..." Tang Rui choked.

"It can be regarded as wrong and wrong. If it weren't for the response of Chenxi team, if the entire research team was wiped out this time, the loss of the Federation would be great." Zuo Shaobai saw that he was subdued, leaned back, and sneered again, "But that's only if they can come back safely. If even the Dawn Squad goes in together—do you believe that old fellow Murphy dared to kill you?"

Tang Rui was speechless.

"Moreover, even if you are a civilian, you are still a federal civilian. According to Chapter 7 No. 20 of the Federal Law, any federal citizen must unconditionally obey the military dispatch during the emergency period and must not refuse!" Zuo Shaobai sneered, "Unless you defect Go to the empire, otherwise you have to go if you go, or you have to go if you don’t go!"

Jiang Mi and Li Qi were already stunned by them.

"Tang Rui, if you're a man, let me take responsibility!" Zuo Shaobai concluded.

After a long time, Tang Rui finally sighed, raised his eyes, and said slowly: "Don't you think your words seem to be forcing a marriage?"

"Go to hell!" Zuo Shaobai kicked in a hurry.

Tang Rui ignored him, got up directly, and walked to his room on the second floor.

"What are you going to do?" Zuo Shaobai added.

"As you wish, die." Tang Rui waved his hand indifferently without looking back.

Hearing these familiar words, Zuo Shaobai raised his eyebrows, and his expression calmed down. After a pause, he turned his head and said, "You two... just follow along, and be his bodyguards for the time being."

"Yes." Jiang Mi and Li Qi, who were named, had just recovered from their petrified state, with bitter expressions on their faces.

It seems... I heard something very important, huh?

A civilian, who can instruct a major to take the most elite squad of the Federation out to perform missions, how is he like a civilian!

"What, is there a problem?" Zuo Shaobai said.

"That... Mr. Tang..." Jiang Mi hesitated, not knowing how to speak properly.

"Tang Rui was a lieutenant colonel before he retired, and he was your captain's superior. What's your opinion?" Zuo Shaobai looked at them with folded arms.

"Uh, no." Jiang Mi scratched his head in embarrassment.

Of course he knew about this kind of thing. Didn't his captain also call him "senior" with a very respectful look?But... what he wants to know is not this...

"Well, Mr. Tang hasn't agreed yet." Li Qi couldn't help but interjected.

"He agreed." Zuo Shaobai said.

The teenagers looked at each other with doubts on their faces.

Where did you agree?Or were they too shocked to hear?

"Didn't he say, die as I wish?" Zuo Shaobai raised his eyes.

"Uh..." The two were speechless together.

"Pack up and leave early tomorrow morning." Zuo Shaobai got up and said.

Seeing that he meant to finish the conversation and leave, Jiang Mi hurriedly said: "Is there anything else the major general wants to explain?"

"Confession?" Zuo Shaobai stopped, turned around, and looked at them with strange eyes. After a while, until both of them were shocked, he said slowly, "Forget it, Tang Rui will explain to you. You can't make mistakes in everything you listen to him."

"Yes." The two of them paused before answering.

"And..." Zuo Shaobai thought for a while before saying, "Look at Tang Rui carefully."

After a while, Li Qicai asked: "Well, does the major general trust Mr. Tang or not?"

"At least more than trusting us." Jiang Mi vaguely sensed that Zuo Shaobai's last sentence that seemed to ask them to monitor Tang Rui shouldn't mean that, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he could only put it aside.

In short, the most important thing is to find the captain!

On the other side, after closing the door, Tang Rui took a step, but mentioned a ball of fluffy things. He was taken aback, picked up the rabbit, and was speechless.Isn't it under the sofa? How did it get up to the second floor after all this time?

Xiaobai curled up in his palm, cupped his hand with her pink mouth.

"Are you also worried about your master?" Tang Rui's eyes flashed, and his tone softened.

Of course the rabbit would not answer him, because it had been held up for a long time and began to struggle impatiently.

Tang Rui couldn't help laughing, put it on the bed, and said with a smile: "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, let that idiot major general surnamed Zuo raise you these few days, if he bullies you, remember to sue, I will Take the opportunity to punch him a few more times."

Xiao Bai rolled on the bed sheet, and went straight to find a comfortable place to nest, not sure if he heard it or not.

Tang Rui looked at it for a while, turned around and turned on the light, then opened the bag, took out the things he brought and picked them out one by one.

Outside the door, footsteps came from far to near, and after a pause, they gradually moved away.
