Phoenix Feather Dedicated to the Admiral

Lan Xiyu's anomaly only lasted for a short time, and soon she returned to her previous appearance, as if the unhappiness was just Qi Mo's illusion.

Qi Mo faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was weird, he just thought that Lan Xiyu felt that he was wearing that outfit awkwardly.

Then he just doesn't wear it in the future, Qi Mo thought to himself.

……

On the night of arriving at Hulan's residence, Fuyue, who was out on errands, returned to the headquarters.

It just so happened that Lan Xiyu had also finished her grooming, and went out with Qi Mo to meet her subordinates.

Fu Yue and Luo Ying knew Qi Mo, so naturally there was no need to say more.Some of the high-ranking generals of the Fei Ye organization are familiar with Qi Mo, but some have only seen Qi Mo in military uniform.Therefore, when Qi Mo and Lan Xiyu in casual clothes stood in front of the subordinates, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and at the same time turned their attention to the chief of staff.

Fuyue coughed lightly, and nodded to Lan Xiyu to say hello: "Thanks for your hard work, chief." After speaking, he looked at Qi Mo again: "The general has worked hard all the way."

There was an uproar.

Because Lan Xiyu was still there, everyone didn't dare to talk nonsense, but all kinds of eyes were flying in the whole room, and they couldn't control it.

"I've been away from the headquarters for a while, so I'm sorry to bother you." Lan Xiyu opened his mouth, and instantly took all the eyes of the room back.

"That's what we should be."

"The leader has worked hard outside."

The subordinates were talking.

"This guy must have been heard by everyone. General Qi Mo of the Interstellar Federation can be regarded as... our old friend." Lan Xiyu put his hand on Qi Mo's shoulder, and he deliberately slowed down his speech, looking from everyone one by one. across the face.

Except for Fuyue and Luo Ying, the people in the room didn't know what Lan Xiyu was thinking at this time, so they dared to respond casually, and listened to the orders without daring to pant.

"The changes that have happened in the Interstellar Federation these days, I think everyone is familiar with it. General Qi Mo was framed in the Interstellar Federation. I was very angry, so I went over there and brought the general back." Lan Xiyu understated, "So, now General Qi Mo will be taken care of by Fei Ye and myself."

A loud declaration, this is not a solicitation, but an announcement!

Fuyue and Luo Ying still looked calm, although the others didn't dare to say anything, their eyes betrayed them - that clearly meant, what the hell are you doing, leader?This is obviously our enemy.

At this time, Fuyue, who was standing aside, spoke: "The Interstellar Federation does not distinguish between loyalty and evil, and it is Fei Ye's honor to have the support of the general."

This sentence reminded everyone present - Qi Mo is no longer the Qi Mo he used to be. The former general has now completely broken with the Interstellar Federation, and the arrest warrants are all over the world.And the leader brought Qi Mo back at this time, which was equivalent to Fei Ye having an extra powerful boost.

Thinking about it this way, everyone felt much more comfortable.

But in the next second, Lan Xiyu's words sank everyone's hearts to the bottom of the sea.

"His identity needs to be kept secret for the time being, and only a few people present know it. From today onwards, all the instructions he conveyed to you are equivalent to me. If I am not here, follow Qi Mo's instructions."

There was a faint sound of someone sucking in air from inside the room.

Someone finally couldn't help it: "Boss, I admit that General Qi Mo is very powerful, and I understand that you want to give him a place in the organization, but...it's not appropriate for you to directly raise him so high."

"Where is it inappropriate, just because he was Fei Ye's opponent before, so you have prejudice against him?" Lan Xiyu pointed out the crux of the problem, "Who of you thinks that he can replace Qi Mo and command the entire army?"

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Qi Mo frowned slightly, and softly stopped: "Xi Yu..."

Lan Xiyu's tone softened: "Everyone, I have been with you for so many years, and I have seen Fei Ye grow from nothing. I sincerely hope that the organization will get better and better. Regardless of whether we and the surrounding stars will How is the relationship, how is the relationship with the Interstellar Federation, I hope that Fei Ye can always have her own place in this world and give everyone a shelter."

"Leader..." These words hit everyone's heart.

Indeed, if it weren't for Lan Xiyu, Fei Ye would still be just a den of pirates, a mob, living a life of licking blood with the tip of a knife every day, with one meal at a time.

"I will fully guarantee Qi Mo's matter." Lan Xiyu paused for a moment, then resumed her cold tone: "Fuyue, Luo Ying, and Liu Junye stay here. The others can go back first, remember what I said."

The people in the hall still respected and admired Lan Xiyu, so after Lan Xiyu gave a few last words of advice, everyone agreed to his order and left separately.

Among the three people left, Fuyue is Fei Ye's chief of staff, Luo Ying is the head of the vanguard army, and Liu Junye is the logistics manager.

Liu Junye is the oldest of the three, and he usually works steadily.When there were only four of them left in the room, Liu Junye walked up to Qi Mo consciously, and extended his hand to Qi Mo in a friendly way: "Hello, General."

Qi Mo held his hand: "Hello, Master Liu, just call me Qi Mo."

Immediately afterwards, Luo Ying came over and just stretched out her hand: "I..."

Qi Mo immediately held his hand: "Mr. Luo, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Luo Ying was surprised - although he knew Qi Mo, he had never met Qi Mo when he was imprisoned in the ship by Ye Huang last time.Luo Ying thought again, this must be the leader who greeted Qi Mo in advance and briefly explained Fei Ye's situation.

The leader, Qi Mo, is really not ordinary.

After a few people chatted about it, Lan Xiyu spoke first: "Today, I gathered a few of you to discuss the matter of counterattacking the Interstellar Federation."

Fuyue and Luo Ying were relatively calm, only Liu Junye was slightly startled: "Counterattack the Interstellar Federation?"

"Well, we've been hiding our strengths and biding our time these years, and we've accumulated a lot of troops. Many soldiers' hometowns are in the Star Federation, and they defected to Fei Ye for various reasons, and they haven't been able to go back for many years. Now the attitudes of several district lords of the Star Federation Unknown, the government is too busy to take care of themselves because of the sudden incident at this stage, it is a good time for us to take them down in one fell swoop." Lan Xiyu said, "It will be easy for the brothers to go home and have a look."

Liu Junye quickly calmed down, frowning and thinking about the feasibility of Lan Xiyu's plan.After a while, he said, "Boss, it's difficult to transport materials. The distance between our headquarters and the main star of the Star Federation is not too close. If we insist on getting close, we must set up a supply point in the middle."

Lan Xiyu nodded and looked at Fuyue.

Fu Yue said: "If Lord Mu Xin in Area A can stabilize, we can set up a supply point there."

"Jun Ye, please study the specific setting method in your regiment." Lan Xiyu looked at Luo Ying again: "How many troops can we call now that are closer to the Interstellar Federation?"

"There are about five battleships, one hundred frigates and five hundred small assault ships." Luo Ying replied, "If urgently recruited, these troops can be assembled within three days and directly attack the main star. However, such a large-scale invasion, There will definitely be battle damage on the way from the periphery to the main star."

"En." Lan Xiyu nodded, "I probably understand. Let's prepare in a quick attack first. The longer the battle line is, the more unfavorable it is for us."

Luo Ying agreed, and asked again: "When do you expect to go out?"

This time Lan Xiyu didn't answer in a hurry, but knocked on the table with downcast eyes.

"Don't worry, do the preliminary work well first, and minimize the resources consumed by moving from the Hulan station to that side. If it doesn't work, the few of us can use the space jump to rush there." Lan Xiyu said to Fuyue again: "I will take Among the guests who came back, there is a very talented Zerg researcher, you will take him to the engineering team to see the time machine later."

At this moment, in the Interstellar Federation tens of millions of kilometers away from Fei Ye, Qi Mo's former residence was ordered to be cleaned up, and it was Luosu who carried out this task.

It was not only Qi Mo who was treated equally, but also other military officers and government officials who were implicated in this incident.Morik hoped to find more evidence in his favor and asked Luosu to search thoroughly.

The soldiers rummaged through boxes and cabinets on the first floor, and Luosu slowly stepped up the stairs to several studies and bedrooms on the second floor.

He turned into Qi Yan's room, which was neatly tidied up. It was obvious that the master had prepared for not coming back for a long time before leaving.Counting the time, it was almost before Qi Yan went to the research institute.

"I will take care of this room myself."

When the soldiers were about to clean Qi Yan's bedroom, Luosu stopped them.

"Okay sir." The soldier nodded and left.

Luosu walked to Qi Yan's desk, arranged the things in order and put them into the storage box.Suddenly, his sight was attracted by the music box placed inside the corner of the table.

The crystal elk on the music box is a little dusty, but the girl sitting on the elk's back and playing the foghorn is still the same, with her ponytails hanging down and her eyes clear and bright.

——It was Qi Yan's 15th birthday, and he gave her a birthday present.

Luosu looked at it quietly for a moment, then took out a handkerchief from his jacket pocket, carefully wiped the dust on the music box, and then put it into his personal bag.

……

That night, Qi Mo breathed a sigh of relief as he parted from the ship and lay on the big soft bed—finally he was able to sleep soundly.

This is the most relaxed day since he left the Star Federation.In the past, he always imagined that when he entered the lake blue resident, he would capture Ye Huang and win the whole round.Now that the plan can't keep up with the changes, the former enemy base camp has become his safest place to live.

"click".

Lan Xiyu changed into her pajamas, closed the door and walked in.

"Xi Yu." Qi Mo called out the other party's name while reaching out his hand.

Lan Xiyu sat down by the bed, her fingertips pressed against Qi Mo's palm, her gentle eyes fell on his face, and the corners of her lips slightly raised.

"The most difficult time is over." Qi Mo whispered, "Everything is just beginning."

Lan Xiyu nodded: "Don't worry, I will always support you."

Qi Mo pulled Lan Xiyu to lean against him: "It's not support, you have to stay with me."

Lan Xiyu simply lay down and wrapped his arms around his waist: "I should say this. One day you will get angry and remember the ridiculous things I did in the past, and leave me and run away. I will be very sad."

"Leaving you and running away?" Qi Mo replied with a smile, then sighed lightly, and changed the subject on his own.

"I used to never think that my life would be tied to someone one day. When I went to bed at night, I was always awakened by the memory of my youth. I often felt that if the canary hadn't come to save me, If I died there, wouldn't I have to bear so much later, and I wouldn't feel pain. But Xiyu..."

He paused for a moment: "It turns out that people's ideas do change."

Lan Xiyu's eyes froze slightly.

"Even after going through so many unhappy things, I'm still grateful that I'm still alive." He took Lan Xiyu's hand and put it on his chest.The chest is warm, and the heart beats powerfully inside.

"Feelings are too delicate. If you give too much, you will feel lost if you don't get anything in return. If you give too little, you will feel indebted. In the past, I simply didn't want it. Even without it, it would not hinder me. But now Once I have it, I don’t want to give it up. For the past two days, I’ve been thinking about what I would be like if we hadn’t gotten to where we are today, or if we had never known each other at all.”

Qi Mo stared at the person in front of him: "I must not be able to make it through. Even if you stand next to me and don't speak, it will give me a lot, a lot, a lot of courage to face those bad things."

He pressed Lan Xiyu's slightly loose collar: "I can't imagine that you won't be by my side in the future. It must be boring, dry, and... sad. Choosing to be with you, regardless of the reason for the contract, I myself would like to."

Suddenly, Lan Xiyu, who had been silent all this time, took him into his arms.

All that lingered around him was the faint, after-bathing smell, and Lan Xiyu's breath fell on his forehead.

"Please..." Lan Xiyu's voice was low and gentle, "Stop talking."

Qi Mo held Lan Xiyu's arm and pursed his lips.

Some words could be said smoothly when facing "Lanxi Yu" three months ago, but now all the disguises and illusions have faded to reveal the real self, but it is obscure and difficult.

The more real, the more afraid of being hurt, just like a clam with its soft meat shrunk into its shell.

Qi Mo rested his head lightly on Lan Xiyu's collarbone, reached out and groped to caress the other's cheek, touching the cold liquid.

"Don't worry, nothing can take me away from you. Xiyu..."

He slowly closed his eyes.

"I love you."

Put the confession in the last step, and everything that should be done is done.

As expected of you.
