Although he has practiced to some extent, compared to Duan Hengye's abnormally strong skills accumulated in two lifetimes, Duan Hengxing, who is currently only working in the royal family, not only has a poor foundation, but also lacks a lot of actual combat experience.

At the moment of shooting, Duan Hengxing couldn't help closing his eyes.Then, holding the silver mini light gun tightly in both hands, he staggered back a few steps, and then he fell down on the sofa, looking quite embarrassed.

With the gun Duan Hengxing is holding now, there is no recoil when the gun is fired, and there is also no sound.So after he pulled the trigger, he only had time to hear the sound of glass bursting in the villa not far away.

Although Duan Hengxing is a villain in the original novel, he is not the kind of person who does all kinds of evil.Before that, Duan Hengxing had never shot at anyone, let alone killed anyone.So when he pulled the trigger because he lost control of his emotions, his ears couldn't help "buzzing".

Did you shoot someone just now?That person is still... Duan Hengye.

Although the emotions shown were always in conflict, but for this only brother, he actually never hated him to the point of killing him.So after realizing that he really pulled the trigger, Duan Hengxing was completely dumbfounded.

At this time, Duan Hengxing seemed to have been cut off from the world, he had no perception of what was happening outside, and he didn't dare to look at it.And at this moment, he suddenly felt that the light gun in his hand was suddenly pulled out.

The man's movements were quick and his hands were merciless.The moment the metal handle of the gun came out of Duan Hengxing's hand, there was a sharp pain in his tiger's mouth - the skin that held the gun just now seemed to have been worn out with blood.

This kind of pain finally brought Duan Hengxing's attention back, and he slowly opened his eyes.Then he saw Duan Hengye standing beside him, and...Meng Jinhuai behind him.

The person who pulled the gun out of Duan Hengxing's hand was Meng Jinhuai.

After looking up and seeing him, Duan Hengxing couldn't help but widen his eyes, and then felt his hands and feet were cold.Meng Jinhuai...how could he be here?Lord Marshal has experienced battle after battle. Facing a dude like Duan Hengxing, he only needs to reveal a little bit of his aura, which is enough to make the other party frightened.

Different from Duan Hengxing's nervous and frightened reaction after shooting just now, after taking his silver laser gun in his hand, Meng Jinhuai only smiled coldly at the other party.

I saw the Marshal habitually put the small weapon on his fingertips, and then flicked his fingers casually, and it spun around easily.Obviously such a dangerous weapon, but in Meng Jinhuai's hands, it is as cute as a toy.

Meng Jinhuai restrained his aura, but in the eyes of Duan Hengye, who was familiar with him, the marshal at this time was more dangerous than ever.

Duan Hengye pursed his lips, planning to say something.However, before Duan Hengye could speak, he saw Meng Jinhuai's other hand that had been hanging by his side also raised up.The marshal held the light gun in both hands, and then slowly aimed the gun at the center of Duan Hengxing's forehead.

According to Meng Jinhuai's skills, he would never use such things as "sights".But although he didn't see the other party's movements clearly, Duan Hengye clearly saw a red beam belonging to the sight shining from the muzzle of the gun.

In Interstellar, this is an extremely arrogant threat.

Does Meng Jinhuai dare to shoot?

Duan Hengye felt that there was no need to doubt the answer to this question.

Meng Jinhuai under the battlefield is always so calm and gentle.This kind of him is often forgotten by people. As a marshal who drives the highest level mecha in the interstellar world, Meng Jinhuai definitely has as much blood on his hands as anyone else.

After suddenly thinking of this matter, Duan Hengye's palms suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

At this time, Duan Hengxing, who was facing the gun, became even more nervous.He moved to the other side of the sofa tremblingly, looking very embarrassed and without grace at all.But no matter where Duan Hengxing moves, Meng Jinhuai only needs to slightly adjust the angle of the muzzle to keep him within the range of the laser weapon.

The light red light beam kept moving, and Duan Hengxing's expression collapsed visibly with the naked eye.

"...Okay...it's okay." Duan Hengye, who had been standing by the side without speaking, suddenly spoke at this moment, and then stretched out his hand to push the muzzle of the weapon aside.

Perhaps Duan Hengye was the first person in the world who dared to push the Marshal's muzzle away with his hand.This scene is indeed somewhat magical, but after Duan Hengye did this, Meng Jinhuai Feifan did not show any displeasure.On the contrary... Lord Marshal actually slowly retracted the gun, then turned around and smiled at Duan Hengye.

This smile is completely different from the sneer when he faced Duan Hengxing just now.

"It's okay just now." It was obvious to the naked eye that Duan Hengye was not injured by his younger brother just now, and the location he was in was far away from the cracked glass.But even so, Meng Jinhuai still looked at the glass shards on the ground worriedly, and then asked with concern.

The contrast between before and after is so great... Even Duan Hengye couldn't catch up with the rhythm for a while.

After hearing Meng Jinhuai's gentle voice, Duan Hengye's first feeling was that it didn't fit the current atmosphere.

So Meng Jinhuai who was standing beside him could only see that the tip of Duan Hengye's ears turned red suddenly.Then he forcibly shifted his gaze to the side, and after a short silence, Duan Hengye finally sat down on the opposite sofa again.Following him, Meng Jinhuai also sat down.

Compared to when he was just pointed at by the gun, although Duan Hengxing's breathing was still short at this time, and his emotions were still fluctuating greatly, at least he was a little calmer than before.

If it was normal, maybe Duan Hengye would not have stretched out his hand to push the gun away, but who told him that he just remembered a childhood event a few minutes ago.So after sitting down, Duan Hengye was silent for a while, and then finally said to Duan Hengxing who was sitting directly opposite him: "If you have lived for more than 20 years and only learned to complain, or put your mediocre If the blame is on someone else’s head. Even if he died under the gun at the last moment, I don’t think there is any loss to the entire interstellar or anyone.”

Duan Hengxing raised his head slowly, and he heard the other party continue to say casually: "On the one hand, you enjoy the life of luxury and no labor, but on the other hand... you feel inferior because of your mediocrity and lack of attention. , and think that you have been let down by others. But have you ever thought about what you have done? If you really want to learn mecha—or something else, is there really anyone in this world who can stop you? "

Duan Hengxing froze there.

Accompanied by waves of waves, Duan Hengye's speech speed became faster and faster.When listening to him, Duan Hengxing couldn't help but slowly opened his mouth, and then showed a surprised expression.

Although there was a long blank period of more than ten years, Duan Hengxing, who had known each other since birth, had never heard his brother utter such a long sentence in one breath.

Duan Hengye stopped here suddenly, and then he actually smiled at the other party.After seeing Duan Hengxing's expression, he continued: "You haven't realized how much you have been protected by the people around you since you were a child, and how much they sacrificed for it. You despise the mediocre rich life 'How much effort is hidden behind it..."

After Duan Hengye's voice fell, Meng Jinhuai, who had been silent all this time, slowly put his arms on the back of the sofa behind Duan Hengye, and then he asked casually: "Do you know why your parents died? Is it?"

Duan Hengxing slowly looked at Meng Jinhuai suspiciously, and then said: "Because of a mecha test accident."

After hearing Duan Hengxing's answer, Meng Jinhuai immediately showed a "really so" expression.After a while, Meng Jinhuai shook his head and said, "It just so happens that the military department has been investigating the events of that year recently, and some of the contents are not convenient to disclose at present. But no matter how you say it, as their youngest son, you also have the right to know .”

After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, not only Duan Hengxing, but even Duan Hengye couldn't help showing an incredible expression.Since Meng Jinhuai said this, does it mean...the investigation has yielded some significant results.Meng Jinhuai naturally felt the eyes of the people around him, he gently lowered the hand that was resting on the back of the sofa behind Duan Hengye, and patted Duan Hengye's shoulder comfortingly.

"The matter of your parents is precisely because of the 'Mecha', not some so-called 'Mecha accident'." Meng Jinhuai said.

"...What do you mean by that?" Duan Hengxing gritted his teeth and asked.

Meng Jinhuai continued to say unhurriedly: "I don't know if you know what a mech represents in Interstellar. If you really don't know, I can tell you——except for the symbol of the highest technological productivity in Interstellar, it is related to The various latest technologies behind it also represent war and interests. And your parents..." Meng Jinhuai suddenly stopped at this point, he glanced at Duan Hengye, seeing that the other party's expression was still calm, and then went He continued: "It's because of being involved in the benefits that you can't see represented by the back of the mecha. Then there was the so-called 'accident' back then."

Although Duan Hengxing hated Duan Hengye, he was not a person who had no feelings for his parents.After hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, although he was still saying "how is that possible" suspicious, his eyes were already dodging.

Some things seem to be easily overlooked if you don't want to.But as long as someone points it out, the thinking will spread out in an instant.There is nothing wrong with Duan Hengxing being an ignorant person.But it can be seen from the hatred he has been brewing for Duan Hengye for so many years, and it is constantly fermenting, that Duan Hengxing is also a very divergent thinking person.

Although only Duan Hengxing, who has lost his official position, has no access to the core content of the royal family, he has also seen many dark transactions.So when Meng Jinhuai said this, Duan Hengxing had an outline of what happened in his mind.

"Oh, that's right." After seeing Duan Hengxing's eyes gradually changing, Meng Jinhuai continued to add, "Actually, you are the only one who escaped the danger. From beginning to end, because the mecha still has some The new technology on the mecha, your family's life—including your brother Duan Hengye, they have never had a moment of peace."

When Meng Jinhuai was speaking, a gust of sea breeze outside the window suddenly blew in through the broken glass.The wind was a bit chilly, Duan Hengye couldn't help but moved to where Meng Jinhuai was sitting.

"The life you are living now is not only the result of your parents' lives, but also Duan Hengye's hellish life that ordinary people can't imagine for more than ten years." Meng Jinhuai smiled, and then he looked directly at Duan Hengxing's face His eyes almost paused and he said: "After eating the steamed buns made of human blood, you continue to be complacent, or complain that they haven't achieved the ultimate...Duan Hengxing, don't you think you are very ridiculous?" Meng Jinhuai's words were full of irony. After he finished speaking, he finally stood up, and then slowly turned around to take a look at the broken glass behind him.

He said sharply: "Then let me remind you again, Nan Zhuxing knows what you have done. I didn't argue with you before because of Ah Heng's relationship. But after today... I don't think there is any need What are you worried about?"

After saying this, Meng Jinhuai stretched out his hand and gently pulled up Duan Hengye who had been sitting on the sofa and was in a daze.

Suddenly leaving the warm sofa, Duan Hengye suddenly felt that the clothes on his body were a bit thin.The cool sea breeze came from all directions, wrapping his whole body in it.

"Heng, let's go home." Meng Jinhuai said softly, holding Duan Hengye's hand.

……

After Meng Jinhuai arrived, he directly arranged for the staff of Southern Zhuxing to leave here with Shang Mengzhen.So now, after Ye Pu voluntarily left, only Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai were left in the starship lounge without guests.

Seeing that Duan Hengye was a little cold from the sea breeze just now, Meng Jinhuai asked the robot to bring a cup of hot drink as soon as he entered the lounge.Duan Hengye took a sip lightly, the taste of the hot drink was sweet on the whole, but slightly sour, very similar to the orange juice he drank on Earth.

But now, Duan Hengye's attention is obviously not on the drink.After his body temperature gradually recovered, Duan Hengye once again remembered what Meng Jinhuai said to Duan Hengxing just now.

But before Duan Hengye asked, Meng Jinhuai said as if he could see what he was thinking: "A few hours ago, the military department retrieved a special document from the information database more than ten years ago. Documents." After talking here, Meng Jinhuai stopped to look at Duan Hengye, and then suddenly said to Duan Hengye without warning, "I'm sorry."

These three words were really sudden and very solemn. Meng Jinhuai's tone and expression made Duan Hengye feel inexplicably panicked.Seeing this, Duan Hengye, who has always had facial paralysis, suppressed an unnatural smile, and then asked Meng Jinhuai, "Why did you suddenly tell me this?"

Meng Jinhuai shook his head and said, "Perhaps the military department has found the answer to the accident that year. Although all the documents and materials kept in the military department more than ten years ago have not been deciphered, the approximate cause of the incident, because of that document, has already been solved." It's almost clear."

"Yeah." Duan Hengye slowly withdrew his smile, then suppressed his excitement and nodded seriously to Meng Jinhuai.

While the two were talking, the starship had already flown into the vast universe.They were surrounded by brilliant planetesimals, but because they were far away from those planets, the light did not shine in.For a while, the only light source in the room was the cold lighting lamp, which looked extraordinarily deserted.

Meng Jinhuai glanced at the distant starry sky outside the window, and finally began to tell Duan Hengye about the newly discovered document in detail.

"Remember the fuel we encountered in the ruins of the research institute planet?" Meng Jinhuai asked.

"Remember, LC liquid fuel—Scale Burning Fire." Duan Hengye read out its name.Hearing this, Meng Jinhuai nodded and continued: "That's right, it is used to ignite the fire in the internal fuel of the light energy cannon. When we saw it that day, we already had a rough guess in our hearts——your parents were already A method of reducing the internal combustion device of the light energy cannon and mounting it on the light energy cannon has been researched. Now, this document found in the military department clearly tells us that this guess is true."

Duan Hengye didn't speak for a long time. As a mecha designer, he knew very well what it meant to have a light energy cannon on a mecha.This research is also Duan Hengye's long-standing goal, and he knows the difficulty better than anyone else.It's just that Duan Hengye never dared to think about it before discovering the scale burning fire that day. In fact, his parents had already found a way to let the mecha carry it more than ten years ago.

Due to lack of memory and ignorance of interstellar history, the "parents" of this life only have a shallow impression in Duan Hengye's heart.Based on others' evaluations of them and the mechas they developed, Duan Hengye roughly knew that these were two researchers who were [-]% enthusiastic about mechas and possessed extremely high talents.

But after listening to Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye once again realized that he didn't know them well enough in the field of expertise alone.

For the chaotic empire back then, the meaning of the light energy cannon was really heavy.After listening to Meng Jinhuai's words, Duan Hengye raised his head and asked him: "...the state of the empire was a bit chaotic, did it... some forces knew that light energy cannons could be mounted on mechas. In order to prevent them from affecting their own interests, That's why you did it?"

After hearing Duan Hengye's words, Meng Jinhuai nodded first and then shook his head slightly.

"My father passed away too suddenly back then, and the power of the Marshal's Mansion declined greatly for a while, and there were even some faint signs of splitting. As the general's mother, she was powerless. With frequent expeditions, she also vaguely felt that she was in the midst of a crisis. In danger." Meng Jinhuai began to recall the darkest time of his youth.

Although he intends to make up for the interstellar history, what Meng Jinhuai is saying now is still something that Duan Hengye has never understood.

Meng Jinhuai lowered his head slightly, and he continued to speak slowly to Duan Hengye: "Our parents have been friends since we were young, and although they gradually became estranged on the surface because of their status in the later stage, the various contacts and contacts in private It has never been interrupted. In order to leave some support for the younger generations, it is also for the future victory of the empire. Back then, the military department has been assisting the research institute in private to study the method of assembling the lethal weapon light energy cannon."

What Meng Jinhuai said almost completely coincided with what Duan Hengye had been guessing all along.But when the other party said this, Duan Hengye still didn't understand why Meng Jinhuai said "I'm sorry" just now.

"Unlike Zhuoyan, the previous emperor of the empire was a suspicious and cruel person. At that time, it happened to be the period when the power of the Southern Stars was at its weakest... when the Marshal died in battle, there were signs of internal turmoil in the military department. The report was received After that, the emperor knew that the research institute already had a method for assembling a light energy cannon."

Meng Jinhuai didn't say anything later, but Duan Hengye could already imagine it.

However, the facts were exactly as he thought—the suspicious old emperor believed that Southern Zhuxing and the research institute colluded in private to study the assembly method of the light energy cannon, and that was definitely to replace him.So after receiving the informant, they immediately sent people to the research institute.

The royal family wants to destroy the finished product of the light energy cannon and steal the technology by the way.And of course... get rid of your disobedient subordinate.

In the end, this plan can be said to be one-third successful—the finished product of the newly developed light energy cannon that can be mounted on the mecha was indeed completely destroyed, and the disobedient subordinates also disappeared in the interstellar world. superior.

Perhaps the only regret is that after Duan Hengye's father discovered that there was an abnormality in the surrounding situation, he directly cleared the assembly method of the light energy cannon on the optical brain.Except for the copy sent automatically by the emergency system and encrypted and hidden in the military headquarters, there is no trace of it on the interstellar.

But perhaps for the suspicious and narrow-minded royal family, whether such a leaping weapon can be preserved is not important, what is important is whether the person who threatens his status has disappeared.

The following stories are those that Duan Hengye knows.After successfully eliminating the threat, the royal family still refused to let the research institute go.They sent the notoriously gifted eldest son of the dean and his wife to the current queen's family, who was still the princess at the time, to be "raised" on his behalf.

This time is more than ten years.But for Duan Hengye...it was a life like a nightmare.

Although he had some psychological preparations, Duan Hengye still felt that the amount of information he had just obtained was no less than the memory and knowledge he received instantly after his rebirth.These things, coupled with the childhood memory that Duan Hengye had just recovered, made his brain function suddenly sluggish.

Duan Hengye froze there.

He stared at the sea of ​​stars outside the window, but he didn't focus on it.At this moment, Duan Hengye seemed to have many things wandering and spinning in his mind, but it seemed to be blank.Time seems to have stopped at this moment, and it seems to have skipped this moment.

Duan Hengye didn't come back to his senses for a long time, until he suddenly felt that he was hugged tightly by the people around him.At this moment, Duan Hengye turned his gaze to the man beside him as if he had just woken up from a dream. He didn't know how fragile and confused his eyes were in the eyes of the other party.

As a soldier of the empire, a marshal, Meng Jinhuai really rarely had such a moment.The unintentional panic and bewilderment was not because he remembered his past, but because of Duan Hengye.Meng Jinhuai buried his face on Duan Hengye's shoulder, and then kept whispering to him: "I'm sorry, Ah Heng... I'm sorry."

Meng Jinhuai has always been self-confident and rarely admits his mistakes. Perhaps all the "sorry" he has said in his life can be said to Duan Hengye today.

"My mother was afraid that the research institute and her friends would be affected by the civil turmoil in the military, so she asked her sincere subordinates to pick them up temporarily...but in the end it was too late." The "sincere subordinate" Meng Jinhuai mentioned appeared there The third person in the accident.

Because he was also present, he was also included in the royal family's accident investigation report.But because of his special status, this person was not announced in the end.Later, the military department was really in chaos for a while. After finding out that he was missing, the status of this person's information column changed to "missing".

After saying this, Meng Jinhuai whispered again in Duan Hengye's ear, "I'm sorry."

"There's nothing I'm sorry about." Duan Hengye took a deep look at Meng Jinhuai, and then said, "Nan Zhuxing and the research institute did nothing wrong."

Duan Hengye had never seen Meng Jinhuai like this, and never even dared to imagine him like this.So after hearing the other party's "I'm sorry", Duan Hengye couldn't help feeling a little flustered for a while, he is not a person who is good at dealing with such situations.

Duan Hengye couldn't help but turned sideways, then he thought for a long time, and finally said: "It's okay, I've already forgotten about it."

These words were indeed spoken by Duan Hengye from the bottom of his heart, but Meng Jinhuai also knew - what happened to Duan Hengye's memory.

When the accident happened that year, Duan Hengye was there.Although Meng Jinhuai has not been investigated yet, the whole process of the incident back then can be guessed at the difficulty just by imagining it.The forgetting that Duan Hengye said subconsciously made him sadder than anything else.

Although Duan Hengye is not a person with high emotional intelligence, he certainly felt Meng Jinhuai's depression at this moment.So Duan Hengye sat up straight again, and then said to Meng Jinhuai: "By the way, I just remembered something from my childhood, about... Duan Xingxing, and my mother."

After all, without much experience, Duan Hengye's change of subject was still a little awkward.However, Meng Jinhuai is a person who is very good at controlling his emotions. After hearing Duan Hengye's words, he felt a warm current rushing through his heart. Then he sat down, smiled and nodded to Duan Hengye to signal him to continue.

From Duan Hengye's tone, it can be heard that this story may be regarded as a good memory for him.

Sure enough, the mother in Duan Hengye's description was an elegant and gentle person.Although there was only a short memory fragment, Meng Jinhuai could hear some warmth from it.

After talking about this, Duan Hengye glanced at Meng Jinhuai, then sighed softly and showed Meng Jinhuai the weapon he had been hiding in his sleeve.Duan Hengye went on to say: "Actually, if I hadn't thought of this incident, I might really have fought with Duan Hengxing. But after recalling it later, I also discovered that it was not just Duan Xingxing who didn't do what his parents hoped. Live a good life and stay away from interstellar conflict. I also did not fulfill their wishes."

Duan Hengye's tone was very flat, but there was also a bit of loneliness in it that couldn't be ignored.

As Meng Jinhuai who went to the battlefield since he was a child, he understands the sacrifice of his father's generation.Only when the facts told him that Duan Hengye was also one of the victims, Meng Jinhuai's mood became so complicated.Meng Jinhuai is not a person who likes to dig into horns, he understands what Duan Hengye means.

The young mecha genius is always ready to make sacrifices for the mecha career, which was the choice Duan Hengye's parents made for him back then.But if he is asked to choose by himself, Duan Hengye will definitely take this path.

All of this is not only a necessity, but also a necessity of fate.

Thinking of this, Meng Jinhuai suddenly and without warning gently kissed Duan Hengye's forehead.

At that time, Nan Zhuxing did not protect the research institute as promised, but fortunately, fate kept Duan Hengye.Meng Jinhuai was a person who never believed in the so-called "fate" before, but at this moment, he is extremely grateful for all of this.

"We will fulfill our future wishes together," he said.
