tall palm trees.Although it is only early spring, it is always as hot as summer here, so many tropical plants grow here.Further forward, there is a snow-white statue of a white marble goddess. The goddess is holding a pot to pour water, and there are three little white wolves under her skirt, all of which are carved vividly.

"Captain Sheng, it is said that Tianshu City is not far from the new capital. If you are free, you can go to Tianshu City for a visit."

"I don't think there's time to go. After finishing what I should do, I have to go back to your camp. Thank you in advance."

"Commander Sheng, you are too polite. The Skeleton Legion is supported by our major general anyway. You can help us or not when you go back. Since we won't be going to the front line for a while, why don't you go to Tianshu for a few days. I heard that both you and our major general graduated from Tianshu Pagoda School, if we can bring back some special products of Tianshu, our major general will definitely be happy."

Sheng Yutong looked at the little orderly through the rearview mirror. The little orderly was still childish.

"Have you followed Shi Wei for a long time?"

"Not long. I have been with Major General Shi since August last year. Originally, Major General Shi didn't need an orderly, but she thought I was too small, so she asked me to be her orderly."

"Then how old are you?"

The little orderly suddenly shut up.Sheng Yutong thought about it for a while, and thought that the orderly soldier hadn't reached the starting age for conscription, so he changed the subject: "I said something wrong, don't mind."

The orderly blinked his eyes: "Commander Sheng, it's okay. I'm seventeen this year, but I'll be full next month. I won't cause trouble for Major General Shi."

"I'm not afraid that you will cause trouble for her. I just think that you are too young. If you can study in the rear for a few more years, it is better than going to the front to fight. After all, wars will end one day."

"Commander Sheng, do you really think that the war will end one day?" the little orderly said naively, "I have grown up so much, and I have never seen a day without war."

The alliance's new headquarters moved to an elegant garden building.As usual, Zeng Ming's office is on the top floor, and the furnishings are as close as possible to the original office.Zeng Ming walked to the window, just as he saw a car driving into the courtyard, the person in the passenger seat happened to be wearing the epaulets of the Third Legion.

is her.

Zeng Ming pushed open the window, just as the members of the Third Legion also looked up and looked upstairs.The eyes of the two collided.Zeng Ming took a closer look, and sure enough, it was Sheng Yutong.Zeng Ming still remembered that meeting with Sheng Yutong, his pair of clean eyes was really unforgettable.He appreciates her, but he has to think more...

"I want to see her." Zeng Ming pointed to Sheng Yutong outside the window.

His meaning quickly reached Sheng Yutong's ears.Sheng Yutong was stunned for a while.Originally, she didn't intend to visit Zeng Ming, but now that Zeng Ming took the initiative to say so, it was difficult not to go.She bit the bullet and entered the small building, and filled in Zeng Ming's name in the meeting person column. Immediately, the guards led her up to the third floor.

"Report to the general, the Third Legion, Sheng Yutong is visiting!"

Through the crack of the door, Sheng Yutong saw Zeng Ming sitting on a chair with a world map behind him.It's just that there are only slits and you can't see the panorama.

"Let her in."

Zeng Ming was able to take a good look at Sheng Yutong this time.I saw Sheng Yutong wearing the uniform of the Third Army, with his hair tied behind his head, which was slightly different from what he saw two years ago.

"At the front, don't you have time to cut your hair? You've always had short hair."

Sheng Yutong said cautiously: "Report to the general, the alliance war is tight, indeed..."

"When I come back this time, I can get a haircut." Zeng Ming said.

"Thank you, Admiral." Sheng Yutong was a little confused about what Zeng Ming meant.Zeng Ming lowered his head and flipped through the documents for a while, leaving Sheng Yutong aside.

In fact, Zeng Ming was also waiting for Sheng Yutong to speak.However, Sheng Yutong didn't open his mouth. It can be seen that when she came back this time, she must never let him know what she was doing.What could it be?

"You're still in the Third Legion, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"I will choose another place for you among the eight major legions of the alliance. You won't be idle in the third legion for too long. Anyway, you are a talent recommended to the alliance by the Tianshu tower school, so you can stay out of work for a long time, yes A loss for the league."

"I won't go," Sheng Yutong opened his mouth and said, "I can't go."

Zeng Ming stared at Sheng Yutong, he hoped that his gaze could penetrate Sheng Yutong's mind and let him verify his guess.But after Sheng Yutong panicked, only embarrassment remained on his face."Sorry, I can't accept that," she said.

"Why?" he asked.

"There is no reason," Sheng Yutong said, "Please don't mention this matter again."

Zeng Ming also softened his tone: "This matter is not urgent, you can put it aside for a while."

Zeng Ming's test of Sheng Yutong was not over yet.He let Sheng Yutong calm down for a while, and then said: "I, as the general of the alliance, asked you the previous question, and I asked you the next question as Shi Wei's uncle."

Sheng Yutong looked down at the globe on the table.Zeng Ming suddenly couldn't bear it: "If you don't want to answer..."

"Admiral, please feel free to ask, and I will try my best to answer."

"It's not a complicated issue, just relax," Zeng Ming stared at Sheng Yutong's face, "Last year, you and Shi Wei had a lot of conflicts, why?"

Sheng Yutong said: "Because I love myself more than anything else."

"...I asked the wrong question. This matter has twists and turns. I want to ask you the same thing. First, why did you use the guide element on Shi Wei? Raise your head and answer me."

Zeng Ming stared at Sheng Yutong, Sheng Yutong suddenly raised his head, which startled Zeng Ming.

"I didn't use the guideline on purpose," Sheng Yutong said, "I was just using the guideline to treat asthenia. I couldn't perceive the guideline, which hindered my receiving adjuvant therapy."

Sheng Yutong's eyes brightened: "I didn't target Shi Wei."

"Okay, the second one, she came to report to me and applied to marry you. Is it your idea or her idea?"

Sheng Yutong remained silent. She had always had her own answer to this question: Shi Wei's idea.At that time, Sheng Yutong loved her, but he never considered marriage.The separation between the two was too long, and the acquaintance was too short.She has her own caution.

She didn't dare to refuse Shi Wei, because she didn't dare to accept the possibility that after this rejection, Shi Wei would no longer belong to her.It's not uncommon for the rejected partner to quickly move on to the next relationship to avoid overwrought trauma.

"General, I thought it was Shi Wei's idea, but after thinking about it carefully, it was our idea together."

"I don't want to lose her, and I don't have the courage to explain it to her. It seems that Shi Wei was frustrated on impulse, but the problem is actually me."

Sheng Yutong raised her eyes, her whole body was shaking.Seeing her like this, Zeng Ming couldn't speak for a while.He said: "Forget it, after all, this is a private matter between the two of you. Since you haven't had any troubles in the Skeleton Army, this time, I will let you go first."

"Admiral—"

126、Selfishness

"In this matter, it's not just me and Shi Wei who have selfish intentions, dare you say, don't you?"

Sheng Yutong tried her best to regain her composure. She looked at Zeng Ming with great courage.She could vaguely guess Zeng Ming's intention to talk to her back then: to get Sheng Yutong to leave Shi Wei.He kept his composure and pinched Sheng Yutong's life gate in two or three strokes.

It's not that you can't talk to Shi Wei, if you know first...

Know it first, maybe it will be different from now.

"I do have selfishness. But my selfishness is not for Shi Wei, but for you."

Zeng Ming raised his head, expressionless.

"I'm afraid you can't believe it. I once knew that a person who has no relationship with you will appreciate you far more than the daughter of an old friend? But if you know how I got to where I am today, you will Do not doubt me."

Zeng Ming got up and walked to Sheng Yutong's side.Sheng Yutong turned around and stood face to face with Zeng Ming.Zeng Ming was once again surprised by the clarity of Sheng Yutong's eyes.He said: "Looking at your eyes, I think that when I was young, I saw eyes similar to yours many times. It's just a pity that their lives will always stay at that time."

"I can't bear it."

"We are sentinels, with a strong body and a strong spirit. Even if it is destroyed, we can still have the mental power to carry out the final blow. However, the word destruction is really scary."

"I believe you will understand," Zeng Ming looked at Sheng Yutong, "because we are the same, people who climb up by ourselves and have no choice."

After a moment of silence, Zeng Ming reckoned that it was time for Sheng Yutong to leave.Sheng Yutong never thought about it, but she spoke——

"It's not that I don't have a choice," she said with clear eyes, "I can choose to leave the system and leave."

"you……"

"You don't believe it, but you can't deny that I have the option. It's not a shame on me, I've given enough as a Sentinel."

Sheng Yutong gave a beautiful gift.From her appearance at this moment, Zeng Ming suddenly realized that he didn't know much about the girl in front of him.

"And what is this for? For..."

Shi Wei?If he uttered this name, Zeng Ming would think that he was too frivolous, and that no one could influence a person's life. However, at this juncture, what reason could he find?

"For myself, General," Sheng Yutong said, "You have your own selfishness, and I have mine. I am tired, and I think that one day, Shi Wei will be tired too. You are the same."

This time it was a deep bow.Zeng Ming had no more questions to ask Sheng Yutong.After Sheng Yutong left, he slumped on the office chair. Over the years, he mentioned Shi Dewei and Shi Qiang to Shi Wei all the time, and he was tired.Shi Qiang's death was not an accident at all.
