Ever since Rong Heng was attacked in the Baghdad region, the father and son had no contact with each other.Later, the news that Rong Heng was not dead spread wildly, and Si Yan never took the initiative to contact her.

The father and son seemed stranger than strangers.

Therefore, when the communication was connected, the two looked at each other, neither of them spoke first, and fell into silence.

"Contact me suddenly, is there something wrong?"

In the end, Si Yan spoke first, his voice was cold and clear, without any emotion.Even when facing his son who had come back from the dead, he didn't show too much surprise.

Compared with the gentle and gentle emperor in the news, he seemed much colder at this moment.

But Rong Heng is more used to his current state. If Si Yan really treats him with the same hypocritical face he used to deal with the media, he may not want to say a word to the other party.

Taking a deep breath, Rong Heng organized his words and answered his question: "There are some things I want to confirm with you."

Si Yan's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't answer, as if he was waiting for him to speak.

"My mother died on the front line back then, and there is another hidden story. Did you already know about it? Noah's memory was tampered with by you, right?"

After calming down, he thought about it and felt that the only person who had the ability and authority to tamper with Noah's memory was Si Yan.

Si Yan did not deny it, but asked, "Where did you hear that?"

"You don't need to know." Si Yan's tone remained calm.

Confirming that the other party really knew everything a long time ago, but deliberately concealed it from him, and even tampered with Noah's memory for this, Rong Heng felt a fire in his heart.

The hands hanging by his side were clenched into fists. He barely suppressed his anger, and tried to talk calmly, but his tone still showed resentment: "Why? Why did you hide it from me?"

He stared at Si Yan closely, and twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly: "You know that your mother was murdered, but you refused to avenge her for so many years, and even kept it from me." His eyes were brightened with anger : "What exactly do you want to do?"

He had a lot of things he wanted to question, but when he saw that Gu Jing's calm face, he suddenly felt that he had been punched in the cotton.

No pain, but a deep sense of powerlessness.

So he only asked this sentence, but after the words came out, he suddenly had a feeling.

Si Yan would not answer him.

Sure enough, he said the same thing: "This is my business, you don't have to get involved."

Even though the two are connected by blood and are the closest father and son, Rong Heng has never understood him.

He didn't know who he really was or what he wanted.

Even at this moment, looking at the other party's indifferent face, his heart was shaken: Is mother really right?Does she really understand her husband?

Mother always said that father loved them, but he was just not good at expressing it.

He believed in the past, but now, he feels at a loss,

No matter how wise a person is, he will make mistakes sometimes.

Is it because of her fault that the banquet is to the mother?

he does not know.

Si Yan's attitude was tough, and he was obviously not going to tell him anything.Faced with him, Rong Heng couldn't even get angry and quarrel. This person is cold-hearted, and emotions are a burden to him.No matter how angry you are, in his eyes, maybe it's just noise.

So in the end Rong Heng cut off the communication without saying a word, and broke up unilaterally.

He threw his brain away a little irritably, with mixed emotions.

Ruan Shiqing reckoned that he should have calmed down by now, so he went up to the second floor.

As soon as he stepped into the living room, something kicked under his feet - it was Rong Heng's brain.

Picking up Zhinao, Ruan Shiqing approached, and found the man sitting on the sofa with his head bowed, wrapped in a cloud of gloomy air.

He put his brain on the coffee table, before he could ask, Rong Heng pulled him and sat on his lap.

Just about to get up, he heard him say in a low voice, "Don't move, let me hold you for a while".

His movements froze and he stopped moving.

Rong Heng tightly wrapped his arms around his waist, buried his head in the crescent of his neck, and did not speak.

Ruan Shiqing maintained this awkward posture, recalling the call interface on the display screen that he accidentally saw when he picked up the brain.Although there is only a simple "si" in the communication number note, it is self-evident who the owner is.

Obviously Rong Heng took the initiative to contact Si Yan, probably because of the cause of Queen Farah's death.

It's just that judging from his expression, it's obvious that he didn't get a satisfactory answer, and there might have been a fight.

He fumbled to hold the other person's hand, and interlocked his fingers: "Did you ask anything?"

Rong Heng didn't want to bring up this unpleasant conversation at first, but Ruan Shiqing's voice was too peaceful, the voice like a summer spring soothed his irritability.After a moment of silence, he still said in a muffled voice, "No, he refused to say."

Ruan Shiqing was a little surprised, but then remembered that His Majesty the Emperor was once called the "Mad King" in the book; now, although he is not crazy, his behavior is unpredictable, so he feels normal again.

"If he doesn't say anything, then we'll investigate by ourselves." Ruan Shiqing shook the hands they held, and said softly, "I'll accompany you."

If he doesn't say anything, we'll check it out ourselves.

These words cheered up Rong Heng who was in a depressed mood.

Ruan Shiqing is right, he is no longer a cub to be manipulated by others, if Si Yan refuses to tell him, then he will find out the truth by himself; Revenant.

He raised his head, rested his chin on Ruan Shiqing's shoulder, pondered for a while, and said, "I'm afraid that number 4 knows a lot of things. I'll go to the interrogation tomorrow, maybe I can find out something."

The next day, Rong Heng went to the prison of the arsenal to interrogate No. 4 again, and Ruan Shiqing went with him.

Rong Heng has been immersed in the army for a long time and is familiar with various torture methods. He greeted this particularly stubborn Zerg one by one, but the other party still bit him to death and refused to reveal anything.

"Let me try it?" Ruan Shiqing suggested after seeing his gloomy expression.

The cell was stained with blood, Rong Heng was reluctant.

But Ruan Shiqing said again: "He seems to be indifferent to my existence, maybe I can get something out of him."

No. 4 made no secret of his hostility towards him and the queen, and Ruan Shiqing felt that this was a breakthrough.

Rong Heng hesitated for a moment, but finally let him in.

Seeing Ruan Shiqing on the 4th, she really showed a resentful expression.

The empire didn't have any preferential treatment for prisoners of the Zerg. In order to pry his mouth open, Rong Heng was merciless.At this moment, he was sitting in the corner of the cell, covered with scars, motionless like a corpse, only when Ruan Shiqing came in, he raised his eyelids too hard, and his eyes were full of anger and contempt.

"The majestic royal family is willing to be a lackey of human beings, and in turn deal with their own compatriots."

"When you betrayed and plotted against the queen, you didn't see that you cared about the friendship between your compatriots." Ruan Shiqing mocked.

Even now that he knows that the blood of Zerg is flowing in his body, it is really difficult for him to empathize with these cold and cruel Zerg.

In his opinion, only Ruan Jiao and the Queen of Worms can truly be counted as his fellow clansmen.

There is already an essential difference between them and these Zerg.

Although the anthropomorphic Zerg also has a human form, they are still essentially animal Zerg.Looting and killing are engraved in genes, like monsters in human skin.

But the Queen of Insects is different from Ruan Jiao, they not only have the human form, but also learned the human emotion at the same time.

The Zerg keeps talking about "brothers," but in reality, he may not even understand the meaning of the word siblings.

Otherwise, how could they hate the queen who wants to lead the group to live a peaceful life?

At this moment, Ruan Shiqing suddenly understood the queen.

She was the first person to evolve in the entire ethnic group, and she even sneaked into the empire to see the technology and culture of the empire.Her animal nature gradually dissipated, and her humanity awakened. She must be lonely when facing the uncivilized tribe who are still like wild beasts.

So later she helped No. 4 and even other powerful clansmen transform into human forms; she worked hard, tried her best to promote peace talks, and wanted to end the war.With a peaceful environment and enough "Sky Stones", her clan and the next generation will be able to complete the evolution smoothly.

They no longer have to wander around, fight, and plunder like wild beasts.

They can also have a peaceful and stable life.

And she doesn't have to bear the burden of group reproduction, like a wild beast, she will have sex with different males to produce eggs.

Only the queen can continue the race, which is inherently deformed.

The empire's technology is so advanced, the continuation of the race should not depend on just one person.

It's a pity that everything she planned was ultimately destroyed by the conspiracy.

Ruan Shiqing lowered her eyebrows, looked at the resentful Zerg, and asked slowly, "Who were involved in the assassination back then?"

As his voice sounded, there was a ripple like a water wave.

do not know.

No. 4 originally wanted to answer this way, but when he opened his mouth, he felt an indescribable pressure. His lips opened and closed, and a voice came out of his throat uncontrollably: "I was not in charge of contacting at that time. I don't know who the specific people are. , I only know that many people in the empire do not want to end the war, so they hit it off with us."

There are ghosts in the empire colluding with the Zerg, and they have long been aware of this matter.

But the "many people" mentioned by No. 4 still surprised him.

"What kind of forces are there?"

"As far as I know, the four big chaebols, the mermaid clan, the nine-tailed fox clan, and the Holy Legion all got involved. They helped us kill the queen, and we helped them kill Queen Farah."

In this way, both sides can throw the blame on the other side.

Ruan Shiqing was slightly startled, he didn't expect so many forces to be involved behind the Queen's death.

But soon he figured it out, what these people did was just for a profit.

The war between the empire and the Zerg lasted for thousands of years. The protracted war not only affected the division of the entire country, but also supported a large number of arms dealers who were in distress.

The four big chaebols gradually grew by relying on making war fortunes, and developed into the current behemoths, even the royal family had to avoid their edge.

However, assuming the war is over, the empire no longer needs a large number of warships and weapons to defend against the Zerg, and the big chaebols will lose their trump card to check and balance the royal family.

The same is true for the Mermaid and Nine-Tailed Fox Clans. Relying on the family background accumulated by their ancestors, they not only firmly control the military region in their hands, form cliques in the military headquarters, and even covet the power of the royal family in an attempt to change their status. further.

Once the war is over, the military department in peacetime will inevitably face disarmament, and the pattern of military regions divided by the resistance to Zerg is likely to change.

So when they learned that the queen was going to make peace with the Zerg and end the war, they chose to cooperate with the Zerg without hesitation.

If you can't solve the problem, get rid of the person who raised the problem.

Facts have proved that this method is quite effective. The Queen and the Queen of Worms died, and the hatred between the two sides grew deeper and deeper, and the fight became even more fraught over the years.

Ruan Shiqing closed his eyes, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked the last question: "Which faction is the Holy Legion?"

He felt that the name sounded familiar, and when he recalled it, he realized that this seemed to be a newly-growing organization, similar to a cult.

Just don't know if it's the same.

"They are like a group of wanted criminals from the empire. They came here to cooperate. I don't know the details. I only know that they hate the royal family very much. Many of our experiments are done with their help."

No wonder, they were still wondering how the Zerg could research so many things in a short period of time, so there were people behind it.

Ruan Shiqing added a few more questions. Seeing that No. 4's voice was getting weaker and weaker, he temporarily ended the questioning and asked the robot to treat his wound.

He didn't notice that as soon as he left the cell, No. 4 completely collapsed, and the black pupils in the middle of the red compound eyes spread out, almost lifeless.
