Cannon fodder dressed as a disabled marshal
Chapter 23 23
The banquet that day ended very late, Shen Qiran was so sleepy when he returned home that he could hardly keep his eyes open, and fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.
The next day, the regular biological clock made Shen Qiran wake up on time at seven o'clock in the morning.After washing up, he just opened the door to go downstairs to have breakfast, but he didn't expect the door of the master bedroom to open at the same time, and Shao Xing, who came out in a wheelchair, happened to meet Shen Qiran face to face.
"..."
"..."
Both of them seemed to have pressed the pause button and stood still for a while.In the end, Shao Xing nodded first, as a greeting.
"Come downstairs for breakfast?"
"Yeah." Shen Qiran came back to his senses, forced a smile, "You too?"
"I've eaten." Shao Xing said, "I'm going to the study."
One of the two walked downstairs, the other went to the study. Hearing the sound of the study door opening and closing, Shen Qiran paused and let out a long breath.
Really embarrassing.
Last night because he was too tired, he went back to the house and fell asleep. He didn't have the energy to think about anything. When he woke up this morning, the memories that had been accumulated all night rushed in like a flood that opened the gate, and the embarrassing emotions followed. He drowns.
—— [I want two years later, that is, after the divorce, you can let me leave normally and freely. 】
Because he was very worried about his future, especially his own safety two years later, when Shao Xing asked "what do you want in exchange", he made that request without hesitation.
Thinking back now, I really had a brain twitch to feel that Shao Xing was so rare in this kind of surrender, and it was completely reasonable to be rejected.
——[When you choose to use your marriage as a bet to turn around, you should understand what you have to bear. 】
——[Loyalty is your responsibility and obligation, not a bargaining chip in negotiations and transactions. 】
——【So, I refuse. 】
Of course, Shen Qiran understood that Shao Xing's words made sense, which further highlighted his naivety and whimsy.
For a long time, he felt that the mess left by the original owner was a catastrophe, and he should find ways to escape and escape, so he completely forgot: since he replaced the original owner and had his identity and future; then he should deal with the original owner's legacy , is also an unshirkable responsibility.
Marriage is a contract, and loyalty is its cornerstone. If such a principled matter can be bargained for, what is the difference between myself and the treacherous original owner?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I had made a foolish move.
At the same time, this also confirmed Shen Qiran's conjecture: the hatred in Shao Xing's heart is still there, and he indeed intends to settle the old and new accounts together after the divorce. The sentence "I refuse" is not only rejecting the deal, but it may also be hinting at himself Don't even think about taking two shots and breaking up smoothly.
The future is worrying!
Shen Qiran went to the restaurant listlessly, because he didn't have much appetite, so he only had a little breakfast.After returning to the room, he barely pulled himself together and continued to prepare for the upcoming exam.
The time for the entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and he has basically mastered the self-study mental power course, and the rest is practice and application.When he started his usual meditation practice, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, which made him almost cry out.
what happened?
Shen Qiran tried a few more times cautiously, but as expected, he couldn't do it after meditating. Later, his head began to have a dull pain.
Not daring to try again, he thought about it calmly, took out his smart phone and sent a message to Mrs. Rose, briefly explaining his situation.
Mrs. Rose is Shao Yao's best friend. Among the students in the baking class, Shen Qiran has the best relationship with her, and they chat in private from time to time.Madam Rose's real name is Alyssa, and her real occupation is a healer. It is said that her husband is also a leader in the study of spiritual power in the military. It is definitely right to ask her about spiritual power.
Soon, the reply from over there came.
Mrs. Rose: From your description, it should be a mental disorder caused by exhaustion, so don't worry.
Mrs. Rose: For mild symptoms, rest for half a day. If you feel serious, you can take some medicine. Of course, the most recommended way is to find someone with high-level abilities for spiritual counseling.
Mrs. Rose: Isn't Major General Shao Xing on vacation today?You can just find him, I remember his mental power rating is SS, right?
Shao Xing's mental power rating has actually reached the SSS level, but this news is still kept secret, and Mrs. Rose does not know.Shen Qiran thanked him politely, thought for a moment, and decided to try medicine first.
Although it might be a quicker way to find Shao Xing, but the relationship between the two is not good, and going there is just asking for trouble.What's more, Mrs. Rose also said that it's just a small problem. Excuse me, an SSS-level ability user is too talented to make a move.
Shen Qiran logged on to Xingwang, searched for common medicines for treating mental disorders, and then searched in the small medicine box in the room, and found one.
After taking two doses according to the instructions, the dull pain in the brain really dissipated a lot.Shen Qiran was relieved, and sat back at the desk to continue studying.
The morning passed without knowing it.At noon, Aunt Mei knocked on the door.
"Young Madam, I'm here to bring you lunch."
Shen Qiran looked away from the optical computer screen: "Thank you, come in."
Aunt Mei walked in pushing the small dining cart, and was stunned as soon as she entered.
"Young Madam, why do you look so pale?" Aunt Mei was surprised at first, but soon became worried, "Is there something wrong with your body?"
"Eh? No." Shen Qiran stood up while talking, and suddenly felt the world spinning, and his body that hadn't stood still lost his balance in an instant, and fell straight down.
"Young Madam!" Aunt Mei was terrified, and hurried over, "What's wrong with you!"
Shen Qiran instinctively supported the table, his hand seemed to touch some key, and a window popped up on the optical computer screen.But he couldn't see anymore, his sight suddenly darkened, his consciousness gradually drifted away, and the last thing that echoed in his ears was Aunt Mei's frightened cry, and...the sound of a wheelchair rolling across the floor outside the door.
***
Shen Qiran had a very tiring dream.
He dreamed that he was sinking in the sea, and there was a black vortex under his feet. The strong suction dragged him to death, and his instinct to survive made him struggle desperately, trying to swim to the surface of the sea with all his strength.
The air in the chest cavity became thinner and thinner, and the feeling of dying became more and more intense. When he was almost desperate, Shen Qiran suddenly felt a coolness coming from his forehead, and the fresh air flooded into the chest cavity again. A beam of light suddenly appeared in front of me, struggling to go upstream...
Shen Qiran slowly opened his eyes.
It was already dark outside, and a small desk lamp was turned on in the room, emitting a soft and warm light.Shen Qiran found himself lying on the bed with a blanket covering his body. As soon as he moved, a voice came from beside him.
"woke up?"
Shen Qiran followed the prestige and found that Shao Xing was actually sitting beside him with a book spread out on his lap, as if he was reading.
The two looked at each other for a moment, Shen Qiran took a deep breath, closed his eyes and retracted them into the blanket, and opened them again after a while.
...It was not a dream.
Shao Xing closed the book and handed him a glass of water. Shen Qiran quickly sat up and took it with both hands.
"Thank you."
He took a sip of water and looked around the room.
"I asked Aunt Mei to go back to the room to rest first." Shao Xing said, "Do you have something to do with her?"
"No." Shen Qiran was a little embarrassed when he saw through his thoughts, he licked off the drops of water on his lips, and turned the phrase "Why are you here" on the tip of his tongue a few times, but he didn't ask.
It should be that Aunt Mei asked Shao Xing to take care of her temporarily...
"Thank you." He handed back the empty cup to Shao Xing, and looked up at the clock on the wall.
"It's already twelve o'clock?" Shen Qiran almost thought he was dazzled, "Have I slept for so long?"
"You woke up early." Shao Xing picked up a medicine bottle beside the bed and shook it with his hand, the pills inside made a rattling sound.
"Why are you eating this?"
Shen Qiran was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassingly: "I... I'm a little mentally disturbed, take medicine to relieve it."
"Spiritual disorder?" Shao Xing frowned, "You think you are mentally disordered?"
Shen Qiran heard the other party's subtext, and his voice suddenly weakened: "Isn't it?"
He told about his symptoms during the day and how he consulted Mrs. Rose. Shao Xing frowned more and more, and finally pinched the center of his eyebrows with his fingers, looking very speechless.
Shen Qiran plucked up her courage and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with me?"
"You are not mentally disordered." Shao Xing glanced at him, "It's advanced mental power."
"What?" If the person who spoke was not Shao Xing, Shen Qiran must have thought that the other party was joking, "Advanced spiritual power?" He pointed at himself in disbelief, "Me? But, but I'm already 22!"
Mental power advancement, as the name suggests, is the improvement of mental power level, but this kind of situation generally only occurs in minors, and it is very rare for adults to have spiritual power advancement.This kind of advancement is a leap in the quality of mental power, and it will inevitably be accompanied by mental disorder, so Mrs. Rose thinks that Shen Qiran is just an ordinary mental disorder, and Shen Qiran firmly believes in this.
"Do you know the consequences of taking suppressive drugs during the advanced process?"
Shen Qiran didn't speak.He doesn't know what the consequences of this behavior are, but in the relevant materials he has read, all of them have been mentioned——
In the process of advancing spiritual power, a professional healer must be present; if there is no suitable healer, it is also okay to find someone whose spiritual power level is much higher than your own to assist.
"Why didn't you come to me?" Shao Xing asked.His voice was cold, no different from usual, but Shen Qiran couldn't help shivering, and shrank his body quietly into the blanket.
"Even if you don't know that you have advanced mental power, but when your mental power is disordered, the best way to deal with it is to find someone with high-level spiritual power to guide you. This is common sense that even middle school students know."
Shen Qiran shrank back into the blanket again.
"You'd rather kill yourself than come to me, wouldn't you?"
The room was terribly quiet. Although the room was warm, the air seemed to be frozen, making it suffocatingly cold.
Shao Xing didn't know why he was so angry.
His emotional self-control has always been very good. People with stronger mental strength are more taboo to have big mood swings, but now, he actually has the urge to drag this person out of bed and beat him up.
To deal with disobedient brats, you have to give them a hard spanking to learn a lesson.
Shen Qiran's whole body was tucked into the blanket, only the part above the tip of the nose was exposed.Shao Xing looked at him with a cold face, and found that the other's eye sockets were a little red, and his thick eyelashes were also wet. He looked like he wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, and he didn't know whether it was because of fright or grievance.
"I'm sorry." Shen Qiran was the first to break the silence.
He is indeed very regretful and afraid now, and now he understands that it should be Shao Xing who came in time to help him channel his mental power, thus avoiding worse consequences. .
"I really thought it was just a small problem. There was no need to bother you, so I didn't go to you..."
The voice of the boy buried in the blanket was muffled and nasal, because his body was still very weak, and his tone sounded soft and soft, like a pitiful little rabbit, "Brother Shao, thank you. Next time I meet someone like you I'm sure I'll find you as soon as possible."
"..."
The balloon, which was so inflated that it was about to explode, suddenly deflated and deflated silently.
Shao Xing looked at Shen Qiran with a sullen face for a long time, until Shen Qiran wanted to shrink back into the blanket again, then he looked away and spoke forcefully.
"No trouble."
"...?"
"It's not troublesome." As if he suddenly became interested in the carpet, Shao Xing stared down at the lavender patterns on the carpet, with no expression on his face.
"This is also my responsibility and obligation."
Shen Qiran was stunned for a long time before he understood what the other party meant.
Loyalty is the responsibility and obligation that should be assumed by each other in a contractual marriage; but is it also the responsibility and obligation of both parties to protect the life and safety of the spouse?
That's right, in the original book, Shao Xing killed the original owner after the two divorced; during the marriage relationship, the original owner's life is still good...
From this point of view, Demon King Shao is really a good citizen who abides by the contract!
Reciprocity, Shen Qiran was also polite.
"If you need me anytime, just ask, I'm not afraid of trouble."
Of course, this is most likely a verbal check. After all, he can't think of anything that Shao Demon King can't handle, and he needs to help himself...
Shao moved his mouth, the corners of his lips were about to rise, but they were forced down again.
"Yeah." He smoothed the folds of the blanket as if nothing had happened, and said lightly, "It's late, go on to sleep."
Shen Qiran's mental strength has not advanced much, he just went from B-level to A-level, but this process consumes a lot of body, after only talking for a while, Shen Qiran feels very tired again.He changed into a comfortable position, lay down on the bed, and turned sideways to look at Shao Xing beside the bed.
"Brother Shao, go back and rest too."
Shao Xing opened the book on his lap, apparently not intending to leave.
"I'll leave after you sleep."
"I'm fine now." Shen Qiran yawned, rubbed his eyes, and said in a vague voice, "I'm not a child, and I have to be watched by someone to sleep..."
Shao Xing turned over a page of the book and snorted.
"You are not as good as a child."
It's less worrying than a child.
The other party didn't respond, Shao Xing looked up and saw that Shen Qiran had fallen asleep.
The warm orange light shone from the side, and Shao Xing could almost see the fine fluff on the opponent's face.It might be a dream. The boy's thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and his red lips moved slightly with his breath. Shao Xing looked at it for a long time in silence, then he suddenly stretched out his hand, and when his fingers were about to touch the other's cheek, he abruptly stopped.
After stalemate for a long time, the hand finally moved down slowly, only gently tucking the corner of the quilt for the opponent.
Shao Xing glanced at the clock on the wall, closed his book, and planned to go back to his room to rest.When the wheelchair passed the desk, the light brain sensed that someone was approaching, and the screen saver of the starry sky landscape was automatically canceled, showing the screen that the light brain owner was originally browsing.
Shao Xing glanced casually, and the wheelchair stopped suddenly.
What was displayed on the screen was a piece of news.
The icon of "Explosion" was marked next to the headline of the news, and the comments below had already exceeded [-], all of which indicated that this was explosive news.
【Return!His Royal Highness Esther arrived at the capital at noon today! 】
There are only a few lines of explanatory text, and a high-resolution picture is attached below, which is a scene of a handsome blond young man walking out of the royal starship.
He was dressed in a moon-white gown, with the royal totem of Ryman tattooed on the collar and cuffs.Even in the beauties of the royal family, this person's appearance is outstanding, his facial features are so beautiful that they are almost coquettish, and a tear mole at the corner of his eyes adds a bit of suave charm, but those dark blue phoenix eyes are unruly and sharp, Gentle temptation and extreme danger appear in one person at the same time, but it does not violate the harmony, just like a poisonous snake in a fairy tale with beautiful colorful feathers that lures humans into hell.
The screen of the optical computer was the only light source in the room, and Shao Xing's face appeared dark and unpredictable under the blue light of the screen.He stared at the news blankly for a long, long time.
***
Everyone's symptoms are different when the mental power is advanced. Shen Qiran's performance is drowsiness. For three consecutive days, he sleeps all the time except going downstairs to eat.
Shao Xing would visit Shen Qiran's room every day before going out and after returning home, but Shen Qiran was sleeping every time, so he didn't know anything about Shao Xing's arrival.At noon on the fourth day, Shen Qiran opened his eyes, feeling that he had finally regained his energy. After washing up and eating lunch, he sat back at the desk again.
When he turned on the optical brain, he found that everyone on Starnet had already fallen into a carnival, and all the pages were overwhelming with the same news.
——Shao Xing's SSS-level spiritual power has been announced!
In this world that is highly dependent on spiritual power, SSS-level spiritual power represents the tyrannical strength to dominate the interstellar battlefield for any country. It is definitely not a lie that one person can hold thousands of troops.One of the most important reasons why the Lyman Empire was able to become independent from the main federal state was that its founder was an SSS-level spiritual power holder.
But after the death of the founding patriarch, the Lehman Empire has not had a leader for decades. The previous battle with the Zerg has almost exhausted the national strength, and the surrounding federal enemy countries are about to move again. The situation is not optimistic.At a time of internal and external troubles, the announcement that Shao Xing is an SSS-level spiritual power user undoubtedly gave the entire empire a shot in the arm.
Shao Xing's already high prestige and popularity climbed to a new peak in an instant after the announcement of the level of spiritual power, and the news that brought this fanatical worship to the highest point was the news from the palace yesterday——
His Majesty the King has appointed Shaoxing as the next Marshal of the Empire!
Being able to reach the position of commander at the age of 28 is not only unique in the history of the Lehman Empire, but also very rare in a federal country with a long history, but everyone has no objection to this, and even agrees with both hands and feet, even if the commander The ceremony has not yet been officially held, and everyone has already affectionately called Shao Xing "Shao Shuai".
Shao Xing suffered so much before, and finally got his wish to become the commander in chief. Shen Qiran was sincerely happy for him. He flipped through the posts discussing Shao Xing on Xingwang, watching, the smile on his face gradually froze. .
As a major event that is being discussed throughout the empire, related discussion posts can be seen on every forum on Starnet: In the military channel, everyone is discussing the significance of SSS-level spiritual power for the improvement of the empire's military power; The Grand Marshal Ceremony being prepared; even in the entertainment channel, many people are seriously analyzing which nobles and celebrities will be invited to the Marshal Marshall Ceremony...
But what's the matter that the emotional section has also been massacred? ?
"One step to the sky, just because he did these things right" [Fire]
"Modern version of "Cinderella", why everyone is crazy about this love call" [Fire]
"Face!Shuangwen dare not write like this, let's take a look at the new marshal's wife! "【Explosion】【Explosion】
"........."
Shen Qiran had the expression of a subway grandfather looking at his phone, he hesitated for a moment, and clicked on the "Slap in the face!"Shuangwen dare not write like this, let's take a look at the new marshal's wife! "'s explosive post, this post has nearly 1 comments, the person who posted it is called "Princess Huahua", and the first sentence of the post is very sensational.
[The host is an insider with absolutely reliable sources of information, and everything described in this post is [-]% authentic. 】
Shen Qiran: "..."
Insider?Could it be the people around me?
Shen Qiran's expression became more serious in an instant, and he continued to read.
Then I saw that the landlord used [-] words to explain the tragic life experience of "Madame Marshal" who was bullied in the Shen family; "Marshal's wife" still does not change her affection and insists on marrying; finally, she uses [-] words to describe the process of "Marshal's wife" using love to influence her husband.
Perhaps in order to exaggerate the authenticity, the host used a lot of detailed descriptions, using [-] words to explain all the sweetness of the two people's marriage, so detailed that Shen Qiran suspected that the host was living under the bed in his bedroom.
Shen Qiran: "..."
Rubbing his eyes that were so hot, Shen Qiran looked at other posts.The content is also similar, and the theme is "not seeking a bright future, but staying with true love, now gaining both fame and fortune, and good people will be rewarded".
Of course, there are also a lot of yin and yang comments in the comment area, but they were attacked by the crowd as soon as they emerged, and they were quickly submerged in the vast ocean of the people, leaving only groups of "Marshal and husband, please be happy forever!" Blessings from swiping the screen, the scene is extremely harmonious and spectacular.
Shen Qiran: "..."
Trembling heart, hot tears.
Don't hurt me!I don't want to take advantage of you Shao Shuai at all!Let me live! !
Unable to bear the stimulation, Shen Qiran quickly closed the star network page, and calmed down with his head in his arms.
Miscalculated.Really miscalculated.
In the original book, after the news of Shao Xing's appointment as commander-in-chief came out, the original owner immediately bought a lot of sailors to publish drafts for publicity in order to increase his own social status, bragging about his fairy love with Shao Xing. The line was suppressed, and then a series of face-slapping incidents were triggered.Shen Qiran originally thought that I would be safe and sound as quiet as a chicken, but who would have thought that these posts would still pop up on the Internet.
Who did it!Where did the navy come from!Isn't this driving people to death!
The door of the room was knocked suddenly, and Shen Qiran said "please come in" lazily. He thought it would be Aunt Mei who came in, but he didn't expect it to be Shao Xing.
When Shao Xing returned home, he heard from Aunt Mei that Shen Qiran had recovered, so he wanted to confirm it with his own eyes.As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the other party sitting in front of the desk with his head in his arms, looking like he was in pain. When the two eyes met, the other party even shook his body, as if he was frightened.
"Still not feeling well?"
Shao Xing immediately came to the table, and Shen Qiran had just recovered from the shock when he suddenly saw Shao Xing reaching out to him, subconsciously dodged back, and blurted out.
"I didn't buy the draft and the navy!"
The hand that was lost because of the opponent's dodge hovered in the air, Shao Xing looked at Shen Qiran, and then slowly retracted his hand after a long while.
"What draft and navy?" he asked.
Shen Qiran was startled.
Didn't Shao Xing see those posts?Didn't he come to trouble himself?
"It's nothing." Heaving a sigh of relief secretly, Shen Qiran immediately changed the subject, "Uh, Brother Shao, why did you come to see me?"
Shao Xing stared at Shen Qiran's face for a while, made sure that he was indeed in good health, and turned the wheelchair around.
"It's okay." Shao Xing walked towards the door, "You should be busy."
Shen Qiran: "?"
When he opened the door, Shao Xing stopped suddenly, because he remembered that he really had something to say to Shen Qiran.
"By the way," he turned his head to look at the people at the table, "You also need to attend the commander-in-chief ceremony in a week's time."
At the Grand Marshal Ceremony, all the family members of the recipient will be present. This is a long-standing tradition in the empire. In the original book, the original owner also attended, so Shen Qiran was not surprised: "Oh, yes."
Seeing Shao Xing still stopped at the door, looking at him without blinking, Shen Qiran was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized: Was my reaction just too plain?
Because he knew the plot, he took it for granted that Shao Xing made him commander in chief, but in fact, this was a big event enough to be recorded in the history of the empire, otherwise it would not have caused such a big shock and discussion in the online public opinion.
"Congratulations, Brother Shao. Oh no, I should call you Shuai Shao now." Shen Qiran raised his expression solemnly, looked at Shao Xing, and said sincerely, "What the people want, what everyone expects, this is the honor you deserve, you Will surely go down as the greatest Field Marshal in the history of the Empire."
Shao Xing didn't speak.
He has heard too many similar words these days.As a reborn person, he was not surprised to be in the commander-in-chief position, and even expected everyone's reaction.
He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, Shen Qiran was ecstatic when he learned that he was named commander in chief, and those few days were also when he was the most attentive to him.Although he had already guessed that Shen Qiran in this life would definitely not be the same as the previous life, but hearing the other party's distant and polite congratulations, he felt a sense of loss in his heart.
He knew very well that what he wanted to hear was not this.
So what do you want to hear?
Or, what kind of reaction do I expect from Shen Qiran?
He didn't know either.
Pausing in silence for a long time, Shao Xing turned around and left without saying anything.
***
A week later, amidst much anticipation, the Grand Marshal Ceremony was finally held.
The venue for the Grand Marshal Ceremony was the largest auditorium in the imperial palace, the Red Rose Hall.This used to be the place where the Lyman Empire declared its founding, and it was also the place where the marshals of the empire were appointed.A giant screen projection was set up on the square outside the palace, and the ceremony of conferring commanders would be broadcast live. Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people gathered here spontaneously to witness this grand event.
Due to many preparations, Shao Xing left the mansion at dawn.At eight o'clock in the morning, Mrs. Shao and the others sent a car to pick up Shen Qiran, and the group arrived at the palace together.
Under the guidance of the guards, everyone came to the Red Rose Hall together.The hall is majestic and magnificent, with a huge internal space, and three sides are viewing platforms.At this time, many guests were seated on the viewing platform, most of them were high-ranking political figures and their family members, and some nobles and celebrities who had received the invitation letter from the imperial palace.
As Shao Xing's family members, Shen Qiran and the others naturally sat in the front.When a group of people walked down the stairs, Shen Qiran vaguely felt that someone was watching him all the time, he turned his head to look, and happened to meet the embarrassed Shen Menglan.
There was a man and a woman sitting next to Shen Menglan. The man was wearing an elegant gentleman's dress, and his hair was combed meticulously, while the woman was wearing heavy makeup and dressed up beautifully. When they saw Shen Qiran, they both stood up immediately.
"Xiaoran." The man put on a smile and called out gently.
Even though he had never seen him before, Shen Qiran guessed the identity of this person immediately: it was the original owner's father, Shen Hua.And the woman next to him is naturally the original owner's stepmother You Yalan.
After the news of Shao Xing's appointment as handsome came out, Shen's father called Shen Qiran several times and enthusiastically asked him to go home and have a look when he had time.Shen Qiran and Shen's father have never dealt with each other, but judging from Shen Menglan's performance in front of her, the original owner must have had a bad time in the Shen family, and the Shen family had never contacted him after marriage, and now he suddenly became attentive, It's clear at a glance what the other party is thinking.
"Father, long time no see." Shen Qiran nodded politely, without further words.Shao Yao and Mrs. Shao, who were walking beside him, looked at each other, and they both only nodded to Shen Hua. Even after saying hello, they didn't intend to stay and chat with their in-laws at all.
After the group left, the smirk that the stepmother You Yalan was barely maintaining suddenly collapsed, and she rolled her eyes at Shen Qiran's back.
"Look at his attitude!" She said to Shen Hua angrily, "If you marry well, you will be so arrogant and rude to your natal family!"
In fact, she was also very angry with the Shao family's attitude, but there was nothing she could do.Before Shao Xing became commander, except for Shao Yao's business, the Shao family had no power in the military. It would be a matter of time before they were squeezed out of the circle of power, but who would have thought that the crippled young master would reach the sky in one step and become the marshal of the empire!The Shao family, which she looked down on in the past, rode on their heads as soon as they turned around.
"Stop talking too much!" Shen Hua said angrily, upset.His son has now become the wife of the Marshal of the Empire, but not only did he not get any benefits, but he was ridiculed by everyone on the Internet, and he said that "in the past, he loved to be ignored, but now he can't afford to be high." He admitted that he was a bit biased, But it didn't reach the level of father and son turning against each other, why did Shen Qiran treat him so coldly!
"If you had been nicer to Xiaoran back then, would he be able to treat us like this now?" Shen Hua became more and more annoyed as he thought about it, and then turned his anger on You Yalan.
"He's just an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, what does he have to do with me!" You Yalan is not a vegetarian, and immediately choked back, "Besides, so what if he becomes the marshal's wife? The water does not interfere with the river, and the military has no control over us, so you don’t need to curry favor with him.”
Shen's father's complexion did not improve. The Shen family holds an important position in the empire's interstellar resource development department. It is true that they do not have much contact with the military at ordinary times, but after Shao Xing became the marshal, his connections and influence have improved enormously. Fortunately, if he was dissatisfied, he would blow the pillow wind in Shao Xing's ear, and he would encounter some problems if he couldn't keep himself safe.
"Lan Lan," Shen Hua looked at Shen Menglan, "Is the relationship between your brother and Shao Xing good?"
Knowing son Mo Ruofu, Shen Hua knows very well that Shen Qiran went to Shao's family in the first place just to find a backer. Shen Qiran said it nicely to the outside world, but in fact he probably has no feelings for Shao Xing, but what Shao Xing thinks about Shen Qiran...he will take it Not allowed.
Shen Menglan curled her lips: "I think it's just average."
At the military banquet before, she did hear many people praising Shao Xing and Shen Qiran for their love, and she also witnessed the scene of the two "looking at each other with affection", but on the wedding day, Shao Xing coldly pushed Shen Qiran away. The scene of leaving left a deep impression on her. It was really hard for her to believe that these two people were so loving and sweet.
Besides, she didn't think that her good-for-nothing brother had the ability to melt Shao Xing's iceberg within a month. After thinking about it, the "love" between the two should be more of a show.
More importantly, others may not know, but she has peeked at the private letters between Shen Qiran and His Royal Highness Esther, and knows that the two have an old relationship. If Shao Xing finds out about this, there will be trouble at that time .
"Father, you don't have to worry too much." Thinking of the "evidence" she held in her hand, Shen Menglan smiled easily, "Now Shao Xing has become a sweet potato, and he wants to drag my brother from the position of Marshal's wife. There are a lot of people around. Even if he and Shao Xing have a good relationship, there will always be conflicts, and people will take advantage of it when they are not in order."
She looked at Shen Qiran who was walking away, and then glanced at the royal seats in front of the auditorium, with a hint of mockery in her eyes.
"When he finds that his position is unstable, he will know how important it is to have a strong natal family's support. At that time, he still doesn't know who will beg whom."
***
Shen Qiran didn't know what the members of the Shen family were thinking. He had already followed Shao Yao and the others to the VIP area. Because Mr. Shao still served in the military department, he sat in the area where the military officials were, and did not sit with them.
Shen Qiran looked around and saw that many people sitting around were very familiar. They had seen them at military banquets, and many of them were members of the baking class.Shao Yao and Mrs. Shao were familiar with them, and they chatted happily with everyone after they sat down. Shen Qiran also politely greeted them, then quietly turned on the smart phone, and seized the time to continue reciting the knowledge points.
The entrance exam will start next week, and he slept for three and a half days before, and his study plan was completely disrupted, so he could only make up for it.
As time went by, there were more and more guests in the auditorium. Suddenly, a man in royal guard uniform came to the front row of the auditorium. He saluted Shen Qiran and the others, and said respectfully.
"There is still a spare seat at the main stage. His Majesty the King said that one of the relatives of the marshal can sit there. Which one of you wants to go?"
The main stage was the closest to Feng Shuai's platform, and there were only three rows of seats on it, and the people sitting there were all military leaders and members of the royal family.Shen Qiran immediately looked at Mrs. Shao when she heard the words. Although the vision of the officiant stage and the front row of the viewing seats were good, the meanings represented were quite different. In Shen Qiran's view, Shao Xing is a hero, and Mrs. Shao is the hero's mother , Mrs. Shao must be the most suitable one.
As a result, Mrs. Shao and Shao Yao looked at him at the same time.
"Xiaoran, you go there." Mrs. Shao said kindly.
"Yes, but you can go, that seat is the most suitable for you." Shao Yao also said.
After the announcement of Shao Xing's level of mental power, the previous secret training is no longer a secret. Mrs. Shao and the others have heard from Dr. Langdon that the process of advancing to SSS level mental power is very long and unstable, but Shao Xingcheng After marriage, the mental state has obviously improved qualitatively, and then they can adapt quickly and stabilize at this level.
Therefore, in the eyes of old Mrs. Shao and the others, Shen Qiran definitely contributed to Shao Xing's ability to safely cross the dangerous hurdle, and his recovery process was so smooth, and it was only natural for him to sit in that position.
"No way," Shen Qiran was dumbfounded, "I think Mrs. Shao is more suitable for you..."
"Don't refuse," Shao Yao interrupted him with a smile, "The position over there is better than this one. When the commander-in-chief is appointed later, Ah Xing will be able to see you as soon as he looks up. He must be very happy!"
Shen Qiran: "..."
Then you can't go!
The next day, the regular biological clock made Shen Qiran wake up on time at seven o'clock in the morning.After washing up, he just opened the door to go downstairs to have breakfast, but he didn't expect the door of the master bedroom to open at the same time, and Shao Xing, who came out in a wheelchair, happened to meet Shen Qiran face to face.
"..."
"..."
Both of them seemed to have pressed the pause button and stood still for a while.In the end, Shao Xing nodded first, as a greeting.
"Come downstairs for breakfast?"
"Yeah." Shen Qiran came back to his senses, forced a smile, "You too?"
"I've eaten." Shao Xing said, "I'm going to the study."
One of the two walked downstairs, the other went to the study. Hearing the sound of the study door opening and closing, Shen Qiran paused and let out a long breath.
Really embarrassing.
Last night because he was too tired, he went back to the house and fell asleep. He didn't have the energy to think about anything. When he woke up this morning, the memories that had been accumulated all night rushed in like a flood that opened the gate, and the embarrassing emotions followed. He drowns.
—— [I want two years later, that is, after the divorce, you can let me leave normally and freely. 】
Because he was very worried about his future, especially his own safety two years later, when Shao Xing asked "what do you want in exchange", he made that request without hesitation.
Thinking back now, I really had a brain twitch to feel that Shao Xing was so rare in this kind of surrender, and it was completely reasonable to be rejected.
——[When you choose to use your marriage as a bet to turn around, you should understand what you have to bear. 】
——[Loyalty is your responsibility and obligation, not a bargaining chip in negotiations and transactions. 】
——【So, I refuse. 】
Of course, Shen Qiran understood that Shao Xing's words made sense, which further highlighted his naivety and whimsy.
For a long time, he felt that the mess left by the original owner was a catastrophe, and he should find ways to escape and escape, so he completely forgot: since he replaced the original owner and had his identity and future; then he should deal with the original owner's legacy , is also an unshirkable responsibility.
Marriage is a contract, and loyalty is its cornerstone. If such a principled matter can be bargained for, what is the difference between myself and the treacherous original owner?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I had made a foolish move.
At the same time, this also confirmed Shen Qiran's conjecture: the hatred in Shao Xing's heart is still there, and he indeed intends to settle the old and new accounts together after the divorce. The sentence "I refuse" is not only rejecting the deal, but it may also be hinting at himself Don't even think about taking two shots and breaking up smoothly.
The future is worrying!
Shen Qiran went to the restaurant listlessly, because he didn't have much appetite, so he only had a little breakfast.After returning to the room, he barely pulled himself together and continued to prepare for the upcoming exam.
The time for the entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and he has basically mastered the self-study mental power course, and the rest is practice and application.When he started his usual meditation practice, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, which made him almost cry out.
what happened?
Shen Qiran tried a few more times cautiously, but as expected, he couldn't do it after meditating. Later, his head began to have a dull pain.
Not daring to try again, he thought about it calmly, took out his smart phone and sent a message to Mrs. Rose, briefly explaining his situation.
Mrs. Rose is Shao Yao's best friend. Among the students in the baking class, Shen Qiran has the best relationship with her, and they chat in private from time to time.Madam Rose's real name is Alyssa, and her real occupation is a healer. It is said that her husband is also a leader in the study of spiritual power in the military. It is definitely right to ask her about spiritual power.
Soon, the reply from over there came.
Mrs. Rose: From your description, it should be a mental disorder caused by exhaustion, so don't worry.
Mrs. Rose: For mild symptoms, rest for half a day. If you feel serious, you can take some medicine. Of course, the most recommended way is to find someone with high-level abilities for spiritual counseling.
Mrs. Rose: Isn't Major General Shao Xing on vacation today?You can just find him, I remember his mental power rating is SS, right?
Shao Xing's mental power rating has actually reached the SSS level, but this news is still kept secret, and Mrs. Rose does not know.Shen Qiran thanked him politely, thought for a moment, and decided to try medicine first.
Although it might be a quicker way to find Shao Xing, but the relationship between the two is not good, and going there is just asking for trouble.What's more, Mrs. Rose also said that it's just a small problem. Excuse me, an SSS-level ability user is too talented to make a move.
Shen Qiran logged on to Xingwang, searched for common medicines for treating mental disorders, and then searched in the small medicine box in the room, and found one.
After taking two doses according to the instructions, the dull pain in the brain really dissipated a lot.Shen Qiran was relieved, and sat back at the desk to continue studying.
The morning passed without knowing it.At noon, Aunt Mei knocked on the door.
"Young Madam, I'm here to bring you lunch."
Shen Qiran looked away from the optical computer screen: "Thank you, come in."
Aunt Mei walked in pushing the small dining cart, and was stunned as soon as she entered.
"Young Madam, why do you look so pale?" Aunt Mei was surprised at first, but soon became worried, "Is there something wrong with your body?"
"Eh? No." Shen Qiran stood up while talking, and suddenly felt the world spinning, and his body that hadn't stood still lost his balance in an instant, and fell straight down.
"Young Madam!" Aunt Mei was terrified, and hurried over, "What's wrong with you!"
Shen Qiran instinctively supported the table, his hand seemed to touch some key, and a window popped up on the optical computer screen.But he couldn't see anymore, his sight suddenly darkened, his consciousness gradually drifted away, and the last thing that echoed in his ears was Aunt Mei's frightened cry, and...the sound of a wheelchair rolling across the floor outside the door.
***
Shen Qiran had a very tiring dream.
He dreamed that he was sinking in the sea, and there was a black vortex under his feet. The strong suction dragged him to death, and his instinct to survive made him struggle desperately, trying to swim to the surface of the sea with all his strength.
The air in the chest cavity became thinner and thinner, and the feeling of dying became more and more intense. When he was almost desperate, Shen Qiran suddenly felt a coolness coming from his forehead, and the fresh air flooded into the chest cavity again. A beam of light suddenly appeared in front of me, struggling to go upstream...
Shen Qiran slowly opened his eyes.
It was already dark outside, and a small desk lamp was turned on in the room, emitting a soft and warm light.Shen Qiran found himself lying on the bed with a blanket covering his body. As soon as he moved, a voice came from beside him.
"woke up?"
Shen Qiran followed the prestige and found that Shao Xing was actually sitting beside him with a book spread out on his lap, as if he was reading.
The two looked at each other for a moment, Shen Qiran took a deep breath, closed his eyes and retracted them into the blanket, and opened them again after a while.
...It was not a dream.
Shao Xing closed the book and handed him a glass of water. Shen Qiran quickly sat up and took it with both hands.
"Thank you."
He took a sip of water and looked around the room.
"I asked Aunt Mei to go back to the room to rest first." Shao Xing said, "Do you have something to do with her?"
"No." Shen Qiran was a little embarrassed when he saw through his thoughts, he licked off the drops of water on his lips, and turned the phrase "Why are you here" on the tip of his tongue a few times, but he didn't ask.
It should be that Aunt Mei asked Shao Xing to take care of her temporarily...
"Thank you." He handed back the empty cup to Shao Xing, and looked up at the clock on the wall.
"It's already twelve o'clock?" Shen Qiran almost thought he was dazzled, "Have I slept for so long?"
"You woke up early." Shao Xing picked up a medicine bottle beside the bed and shook it with his hand, the pills inside made a rattling sound.
"Why are you eating this?"
Shen Qiran was stunned for a moment, and said embarrassingly: "I... I'm a little mentally disturbed, take medicine to relieve it."
"Spiritual disorder?" Shao Xing frowned, "You think you are mentally disordered?"
Shen Qiran heard the other party's subtext, and his voice suddenly weakened: "Isn't it?"
He told about his symptoms during the day and how he consulted Mrs. Rose. Shao Xing frowned more and more, and finally pinched the center of his eyebrows with his fingers, looking very speechless.
Shen Qiran plucked up her courage and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with me?"
"You are not mentally disordered." Shao Xing glanced at him, "It's advanced mental power."
"What?" If the person who spoke was not Shao Xing, Shen Qiran must have thought that the other party was joking, "Advanced spiritual power?" He pointed at himself in disbelief, "Me? But, but I'm already 22!"
Mental power advancement, as the name suggests, is the improvement of mental power level, but this kind of situation generally only occurs in minors, and it is very rare for adults to have spiritual power advancement.This kind of advancement is a leap in the quality of mental power, and it will inevitably be accompanied by mental disorder, so Mrs. Rose thinks that Shen Qiran is just an ordinary mental disorder, and Shen Qiran firmly believes in this.
"Do you know the consequences of taking suppressive drugs during the advanced process?"
Shen Qiran didn't speak.He doesn't know what the consequences of this behavior are, but in the relevant materials he has read, all of them have been mentioned——
In the process of advancing spiritual power, a professional healer must be present; if there is no suitable healer, it is also okay to find someone whose spiritual power level is much higher than your own to assist.
"Why didn't you come to me?" Shao Xing asked.His voice was cold, no different from usual, but Shen Qiran couldn't help shivering, and shrank his body quietly into the blanket.
"Even if you don't know that you have advanced mental power, but when your mental power is disordered, the best way to deal with it is to find someone with high-level spiritual power to guide you. This is common sense that even middle school students know."
Shen Qiran shrank back into the blanket again.
"You'd rather kill yourself than come to me, wouldn't you?"
The room was terribly quiet. Although the room was warm, the air seemed to be frozen, making it suffocatingly cold.
Shao Xing didn't know why he was so angry.
His emotional self-control has always been very good. People with stronger mental strength are more taboo to have big mood swings, but now, he actually has the urge to drag this person out of bed and beat him up.
To deal with disobedient brats, you have to give them a hard spanking to learn a lesson.
Shen Qiran's whole body was tucked into the blanket, only the part above the tip of the nose was exposed.Shao Xing looked at him with a cold face, and found that the other's eye sockets were a little red, and his thick eyelashes were also wet. He looked like he wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, and he didn't know whether it was because of fright or grievance.
"I'm sorry." Shen Qiran was the first to break the silence.
He is indeed very regretful and afraid now, and now he understands that it should be Shao Xing who came in time to help him channel his mental power, thus avoiding worse consequences. .
"I really thought it was just a small problem. There was no need to bother you, so I didn't go to you..."
The voice of the boy buried in the blanket was muffled and nasal, because his body was still very weak, and his tone sounded soft and soft, like a pitiful little rabbit, "Brother Shao, thank you. Next time I meet someone like you I'm sure I'll find you as soon as possible."
"..."
The balloon, which was so inflated that it was about to explode, suddenly deflated and deflated silently.
Shao Xing looked at Shen Qiran with a sullen face for a long time, until Shen Qiran wanted to shrink back into the blanket again, then he looked away and spoke forcefully.
"No trouble."
"...?"
"It's not troublesome." As if he suddenly became interested in the carpet, Shao Xing stared down at the lavender patterns on the carpet, with no expression on his face.
"This is also my responsibility and obligation."
Shen Qiran was stunned for a long time before he understood what the other party meant.
Loyalty is the responsibility and obligation that should be assumed by each other in a contractual marriage; but is it also the responsibility and obligation of both parties to protect the life and safety of the spouse?
That's right, in the original book, Shao Xing killed the original owner after the two divorced; during the marriage relationship, the original owner's life is still good...
From this point of view, Demon King Shao is really a good citizen who abides by the contract!
Reciprocity, Shen Qiran was also polite.
"If you need me anytime, just ask, I'm not afraid of trouble."
Of course, this is most likely a verbal check. After all, he can't think of anything that Shao Demon King can't handle, and he needs to help himself...
Shao moved his mouth, the corners of his lips were about to rise, but they were forced down again.
"Yeah." He smoothed the folds of the blanket as if nothing had happened, and said lightly, "It's late, go on to sleep."
Shen Qiran's mental strength has not advanced much, he just went from B-level to A-level, but this process consumes a lot of body, after only talking for a while, Shen Qiran feels very tired again.He changed into a comfortable position, lay down on the bed, and turned sideways to look at Shao Xing beside the bed.
"Brother Shao, go back and rest too."
Shao Xing opened the book on his lap, apparently not intending to leave.
"I'll leave after you sleep."
"I'm fine now." Shen Qiran yawned, rubbed his eyes, and said in a vague voice, "I'm not a child, and I have to be watched by someone to sleep..."
Shao Xing turned over a page of the book and snorted.
"You are not as good as a child."
It's less worrying than a child.
The other party didn't respond, Shao Xing looked up and saw that Shen Qiran had fallen asleep.
The warm orange light shone from the side, and Shao Xing could almost see the fine fluff on the opponent's face.It might be a dream. The boy's thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and his red lips moved slightly with his breath. Shao Xing looked at it for a long time in silence, then he suddenly stretched out his hand, and when his fingers were about to touch the other's cheek, he abruptly stopped.
After stalemate for a long time, the hand finally moved down slowly, only gently tucking the corner of the quilt for the opponent.
Shao Xing glanced at the clock on the wall, closed his book, and planned to go back to his room to rest.When the wheelchair passed the desk, the light brain sensed that someone was approaching, and the screen saver of the starry sky landscape was automatically canceled, showing the screen that the light brain owner was originally browsing.
Shao Xing glanced casually, and the wheelchair stopped suddenly.
What was displayed on the screen was a piece of news.
The icon of "Explosion" was marked next to the headline of the news, and the comments below had already exceeded [-], all of which indicated that this was explosive news.
【Return!His Royal Highness Esther arrived at the capital at noon today! 】
There are only a few lines of explanatory text, and a high-resolution picture is attached below, which is a scene of a handsome blond young man walking out of the royal starship.
He was dressed in a moon-white gown, with the royal totem of Ryman tattooed on the collar and cuffs.Even in the beauties of the royal family, this person's appearance is outstanding, his facial features are so beautiful that they are almost coquettish, and a tear mole at the corner of his eyes adds a bit of suave charm, but those dark blue phoenix eyes are unruly and sharp, Gentle temptation and extreme danger appear in one person at the same time, but it does not violate the harmony, just like a poisonous snake in a fairy tale with beautiful colorful feathers that lures humans into hell.
The screen of the optical computer was the only light source in the room, and Shao Xing's face appeared dark and unpredictable under the blue light of the screen.He stared at the news blankly for a long, long time.
***
Everyone's symptoms are different when the mental power is advanced. Shen Qiran's performance is drowsiness. For three consecutive days, he sleeps all the time except going downstairs to eat.
Shao Xing would visit Shen Qiran's room every day before going out and after returning home, but Shen Qiran was sleeping every time, so he didn't know anything about Shao Xing's arrival.At noon on the fourth day, Shen Qiran opened his eyes, feeling that he had finally regained his energy. After washing up and eating lunch, he sat back at the desk again.
When he turned on the optical brain, he found that everyone on Starnet had already fallen into a carnival, and all the pages were overwhelming with the same news.
——Shao Xing's SSS-level spiritual power has been announced!
In this world that is highly dependent on spiritual power, SSS-level spiritual power represents the tyrannical strength to dominate the interstellar battlefield for any country. It is definitely not a lie that one person can hold thousands of troops.One of the most important reasons why the Lyman Empire was able to become independent from the main federal state was that its founder was an SSS-level spiritual power holder.
But after the death of the founding patriarch, the Lehman Empire has not had a leader for decades. The previous battle with the Zerg has almost exhausted the national strength, and the surrounding federal enemy countries are about to move again. The situation is not optimistic.At a time of internal and external troubles, the announcement that Shao Xing is an SSS-level spiritual power user undoubtedly gave the entire empire a shot in the arm.
Shao Xing's already high prestige and popularity climbed to a new peak in an instant after the announcement of the level of spiritual power, and the news that brought this fanatical worship to the highest point was the news from the palace yesterday——
His Majesty the King has appointed Shaoxing as the next Marshal of the Empire!
Being able to reach the position of commander at the age of 28 is not only unique in the history of the Lehman Empire, but also very rare in a federal country with a long history, but everyone has no objection to this, and even agrees with both hands and feet, even if the commander The ceremony has not yet been officially held, and everyone has already affectionately called Shao Xing "Shao Shuai".
Shao Xing suffered so much before, and finally got his wish to become the commander in chief. Shen Qiran was sincerely happy for him. He flipped through the posts discussing Shao Xing on Xingwang, watching, the smile on his face gradually froze. .
As a major event that is being discussed throughout the empire, related discussion posts can be seen on every forum on Starnet: In the military channel, everyone is discussing the significance of SSS-level spiritual power for the improvement of the empire's military power; The Grand Marshal Ceremony being prepared; even in the entertainment channel, many people are seriously analyzing which nobles and celebrities will be invited to the Marshal Marshall Ceremony...
But what's the matter that the emotional section has also been massacred? ?
"One step to the sky, just because he did these things right" [Fire]
"Modern version of "Cinderella", why everyone is crazy about this love call" [Fire]
"Face!Shuangwen dare not write like this, let's take a look at the new marshal's wife! "【Explosion】【Explosion】
"........."
Shen Qiran had the expression of a subway grandfather looking at his phone, he hesitated for a moment, and clicked on the "Slap in the face!"Shuangwen dare not write like this, let's take a look at the new marshal's wife! "'s explosive post, this post has nearly 1 comments, the person who posted it is called "Princess Huahua", and the first sentence of the post is very sensational.
[The host is an insider with absolutely reliable sources of information, and everything described in this post is [-]% authentic. 】
Shen Qiran: "..."
Insider?Could it be the people around me?
Shen Qiran's expression became more serious in an instant, and he continued to read.
Then I saw that the landlord used [-] words to explain the tragic life experience of "Madame Marshal" who was bullied in the Shen family; "Marshal's wife" still does not change her affection and insists on marrying; finally, she uses [-] words to describe the process of "Marshal's wife" using love to influence her husband.
Perhaps in order to exaggerate the authenticity, the host used a lot of detailed descriptions, using [-] words to explain all the sweetness of the two people's marriage, so detailed that Shen Qiran suspected that the host was living under the bed in his bedroom.
Shen Qiran: "..."
Rubbing his eyes that were so hot, Shen Qiran looked at other posts.The content is also similar, and the theme is "not seeking a bright future, but staying with true love, now gaining both fame and fortune, and good people will be rewarded".
Of course, there are also a lot of yin and yang comments in the comment area, but they were attacked by the crowd as soon as they emerged, and they were quickly submerged in the vast ocean of the people, leaving only groups of "Marshal and husband, please be happy forever!" Blessings from swiping the screen, the scene is extremely harmonious and spectacular.
Shen Qiran: "..."
Trembling heart, hot tears.
Don't hurt me!I don't want to take advantage of you Shao Shuai at all!Let me live! !
Unable to bear the stimulation, Shen Qiran quickly closed the star network page, and calmed down with his head in his arms.
Miscalculated.Really miscalculated.
In the original book, after the news of Shao Xing's appointment as commander-in-chief came out, the original owner immediately bought a lot of sailors to publish drafts for publicity in order to increase his own social status, bragging about his fairy love with Shao Xing. The line was suppressed, and then a series of face-slapping incidents were triggered.Shen Qiran originally thought that I would be safe and sound as quiet as a chicken, but who would have thought that these posts would still pop up on the Internet.
Who did it!Where did the navy come from!Isn't this driving people to death!
The door of the room was knocked suddenly, and Shen Qiran said "please come in" lazily. He thought it would be Aunt Mei who came in, but he didn't expect it to be Shao Xing.
When Shao Xing returned home, he heard from Aunt Mei that Shen Qiran had recovered, so he wanted to confirm it with his own eyes.As a result, as soon as he entered the door, he saw the other party sitting in front of the desk with his head in his arms, looking like he was in pain. When the two eyes met, the other party even shook his body, as if he was frightened.
"Still not feeling well?"
Shao Xing immediately came to the table, and Shen Qiran had just recovered from the shock when he suddenly saw Shao Xing reaching out to him, subconsciously dodged back, and blurted out.
"I didn't buy the draft and the navy!"
The hand that was lost because of the opponent's dodge hovered in the air, Shao Xing looked at Shen Qiran, and then slowly retracted his hand after a long while.
"What draft and navy?" he asked.
Shen Qiran was startled.
Didn't Shao Xing see those posts?Didn't he come to trouble himself?
"It's nothing." Heaving a sigh of relief secretly, Shen Qiran immediately changed the subject, "Uh, Brother Shao, why did you come to see me?"
Shao Xing stared at Shen Qiran's face for a while, made sure that he was indeed in good health, and turned the wheelchair around.
"It's okay." Shao Xing walked towards the door, "You should be busy."
Shen Qiran: "?"
When he opened the door, Shao Xing stopped suddenly, because he remembered that he really had something to say to Shen Qiran.
"By the way," he turned his head to look at the people at the table, "You also need to attend the commander-in-chief ceremony in a week's time."
At the Grand Marshal Ceremony, all the family members of the recipient will be present. This is a long-standing tradition in the empire. In the original book, the original owner also attended, so Shen Qiran was not surprised: "Oh, yes."
Seeing Shao Xing still stopped at the door, looking at him without blinking, Shen Qiran was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized: Was my reaction just too plain?
Because he knew the plot, he took it for granted that Shao Xing made him commander in chief, but in fact, this was a big event enough to be recorded in the history of the empire, otherwise it would not have caused such a big shock and discussion in the online public opinion.
"Congratulations, Brother Shao. Oh no, I should call you Shuai Shao now." Shen Qiran raised his expression solemnly, looked at Shao Xing, and said sincerely, "What the people want, what everyone expects, this is the honor you deserve, you Will surely go down as the greatest Field Marshal in the history of the Empire."
Shao Xing didn't speak.
He has heard too many similar words these days.As a reborn person, he was not surprised to be in the commander-in-chief position, and even expected everyone's reaction.
He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, Shen Qiran was ecstatic when he learned that he was named commander in chief, and those few days were also when he was the most attentive to him.Although he had already guessed that Shen Qiran in this life would definitely not be the same as the previous life, but hearing the other party's distant and polite congratulations, he felt a sense of loss in his heart.
He knew very well that what he wanted to hear was not this.
So what do you want to hear?
Or, what kind of reaction do I expect from Shen Qiran?
He didn't know either.
Pausing in silence for a long time, Shao Xing turned around and left without saying anything.
***
A week later, amidst much anticipation, the Grand Marshal Ceremony was finally held.
The venue for the Grand Marshal Ceremony was the largest auditorium in the imperial palace, the Red Rose Hall.This used to be the place where the Lyman Empire declared its founding, and it was also the place where the marshals of the empire were appointed.A giant screen projection was set up on the square outside the palace, and the ceremony of conferring commanders would be broadcast live. Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people gathered here spontaneously to witness this grand event.
Due to many preparations, Shao Xing left the mansion at dawn.At eight o'clock in the morning, Mrs. Shao and the others sent a car to pick up Shen Qiran, and the group arrived at the palace together.
Under the guidance of the guards, everyone came to the Red Rose Hall together.The hall is majestic and magnificent, with a huge internal space, and three sides are viewing platforms.At this time, many guests were seated on the viewing platform, most of them were high-ranking political figures and their family members, and some nobles and celebrities who had received the invitation letter from the imperial palace.
As Shao Xing's family members, Shen Qiran and the others naturally sat in the front.When a group of people walked down the stairs, Shen Qiran vaguely felt that someone was watching him all the time, he turned his head to look, and happened to meet the embarrassed Shen Menglan.
There was a man and a woman sitting next to Shen Menglan. The man was wearing an elegant gentleman's dress, and his hair was combed meticulously, while the woman was wearing heavy makeup and dressed up beautifully. When they saw Shen Qiran, they both stood up immediately.
"Xiaoran." The man put on a smile and called out gently.
Even though he had never seen him before, Shen Qiran guessed the identity of this person immediately: it was the original owner's father, Shen Hua.And the woman next to him is naturally the original owner's stepmother You Yalan.
After the news of Shao Xing's appointment as handsome came out, Shen's father called Shen Qiran several times and enthusiastically asked him to go home and have a look when he had time.Shen Qiran and Shen's father have never dealt with each other, but judging from Shen Menglan's performance in front of her, the original owner must have had a bad time in the Shen family, and the Shen family had never contacted him after marriage, and now he suddenly became attentive, It's clear at a glance what the other party is thinking.
"Father, long time no see." Shen Qiran nodded politely, without further words.Shao Yao and Mrs. Shao, who were walking beside him, looked at each other, and they both only nodded to Shen Hua. Even after saying hello, they didn't intend to stay and chat with their in-laws at all.
After the group left, the smirk that the stepmother You Yalan was barely maintaining suddenly collapsed, and she rolled her eyes at Shen Qiran's back.
"Look at his attitude!" She said to Shen Hua angrily, "If you marry well, you will be so arrogant and rude to your natal family!"
In fact, she was also very angry with the Shao family's attitude, but there was nothing she could do.Before Shao Xing became commander, except for Shao Yao's business, the Shao family had no power in the military. It would be a matter of time before they were squeezed out of the circle of power, but who would have thought that the crippled young master would reach the sky in one step and become the marshal of the empire!The Shao family, which she looked down on in the past, rode on their heads as soon as they turned around.
"Stop talking too much!" Shen Hua said angrily, upset.His son has now become the wife of the Marshal of the Empire, but not only did he not get any benefits, but he was ridiculed by everyone on the Internet, and he said that "in the past, he loved to be ignored, but now he can't afford to be high." He admitted that he was a bit biased, But it didn't reach the level of father and son turning against each other, why did Shen Qiran treat him so coldly!
"If you had been nicer to Xiaoran back then, would he be able to treat us like this now?" Shen Hua became more and more annoyed as he thought about it, and then turned his anger on You Yalan.
"He's just an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, what does he have to do with me!" You Yalan is not a vegetarian, and immediately choked back, "Besides, so what if he becomes the marshal's wife? The water does not interfere with the river, and the military has no control over us, so you don’t need to curry favor with him.”
Shen's father's complexion did not improve. The Shen family holds an important position in the empire's interstellar resource development department. It is true that they do not have much contact with the military at ordinary times, but after Shao Xing became the marshal, his connections and influence have improved enormously. Fortunately, if he was dissatisfied, he would blow the pillow wind in Shao Xing's ear, and he would encounter some problems if he couldn't keep himself safe.
"Lan Lan," Shen Hua looked at Shen Menglan, "Is the relationship between your brother and Shao Xing good?"
Knowing son Mo Ruofu, Shen Hua knows very well that Shen Qiran went to Shao's family in the first place just to find a backer. Shen Qiran said it nicely to the outside world, but in fact he probably has no feelings for Shao Xing, but what Shao Xing thinks about Shen Qiran...he will take it Not allowed.
Shen Menglan curled her lips: "I think it's just average."
At the military banquet before, she did hear many people praising Shao Xing and Shen Qiran for their love, and she also witnessed the scene of the two "looking at each other with affection", but on the wedding day, Shao Xing coldly pushed Shen Qiran away. The scene of leaving left a deep impression on her. It was really hard for her to believe that these two people were so loving and sweet.
Besides, she didn't think that her good-for-nothing brother had the ability to melt Shao Xing's iceberg within a month. After thinking about it, the "love" between the two should be more of a show.
More importantly, others may not know, but she has peeked at the private letters between Shen Qiran and His Royal Highness Esther, and knows that the two have an old relationship. If Shao Xing finds out about this, there will be trouble at that time .
"Father, you don't have to worry too much." Thinking of the "evidence" she held in her hand, Shen Menglan smiled easily, "Now Shao Xing has become a sweet potato, and he wants to drag my brother from the position of Marshal's wife. There are a lot of people around. Even if he and Shao Xing have a good relationship, there will always be conflicts, and people will take advantage of it when they are not in order."
She looked at Shen Qiran who was walking away, and then glanced at the royal seats in front of the auditorium, with a hint of mockery in her eyes.
"When he finds that his position is unstable, he will know how important it is to have a strong natal family's support. At that time, he still doesn't know who will beg whom."
***
Shen Qiran didn't know what the members of the Shen family were thinking. He had already followed Shao Yao and the others to the VIP area. Because Mr. Shao still served in the military department, he sat in the area where the military officials were, and did not sit with them.
Shen Qiran looked around and saw that many people sitting around were very familiar. They had seen them at military banquets, and many of them were members of the baking class.Shao Yao and Mrs. Shao were familiar with them, and they chatted happily with everyone after they sat down. Shen Qiran also politely greeted them, then quietly turned on the smart phone, and seized the time to continue reciting the knowledge points.
The entrance exam will start next week, and he slept for three and a half days before, and his study plan was completely disrupted, so he could only make up for it.
As time went by, there were more and more guests in the auditorium. Suddenly, a man in royal guard uniform came to the front row of the auditorium. He saluted Shen Qiran and the others, and said respectfully.
"There is still a spare seat at the main stage. His Majesty the King said that one of the relatives of the marshal can sit there. Which one of you wants to go?"
The main stage was the closest to Feng Shuai's platform, and there were only three rows of seats on it, and the people sitting there were all military leaders and members of the royal family.Shen Qiran immediately looked at Mrs. Shao when she heard the words. Although the vision of the officiant stage and the front row of the viewing seats were good, the meanings represented were quite different. In Shen Qiran's view, Shao Xing is a hero, and Mrs. Shao is the hero's mother , Mrs. Shao must be the most suitable one.
As a result, Mrs. Shao and Shao Yao looked at him at the same time.
"Xiaoran, you go there." Mrs. Shao said kindly.
"Yes, but you can go, that seat is the most suitable for you." Shao Yao also said.
After the announcement of Shao Xing's level of mental power, the previous secret training is no longer a secret. Mrs. Shao and the others have heard from Dr. Langdon that the process of advancing to SSS level mental power is very long and unstable, but Shao Xingcheng After marriage, the mental state has obviously improved qualitatively, and then they can adapt quickly and stabilize at this level.
Therefore, in the eyes of old Mrs. Shao and the others, Shen Qiran definitely contributed to Shao Xing's ability to safely cross the dangerous hurdle, and his recovery process was so smooth, and it was only natural for him to sit in that position.
"No way," Shen Qiran was dumbfounded, "I think Mrs. Shao is more suitable for you..."
"Don't refuse," Shao Yao interrupted him with a smile, "The position over there is better than this one. When the commander-in-chief is appointed later, Ah Xing will be able to see you as soon as he looks up. He must be very happy!"
Shen Qiran: "..."
Then you can't go!
