I'm stuck with the Imperial Marshal!

This time, more than 500 people applied for the position of Yanqiu Adjutant, and they were divided into five assessment classrooms.The classrooms are all in a corridor, and at this time, many military officers participating in the assessment are outside the classrooms, so Lu Qiao walked all the way, receiving attention from both sides.

There was no lack of gossip, curiosity and hostility in these gazes. Lu Qiao observed around calmly, and entered the No. [-] assessment room without any reaction.

The assessment classroom is very large, with more than 100 holographic devices in it.

Some people are already sitting in front of the holographic device with their names on them, and some are still chatting in groups of threes and twos.

Lu Qiao met Song Yue, Song Yue lowered his voice when he saw him and said, "Everyone is talking about you and Yan Qiu, it's a good thing you two didn't come in together today, otherwise—"

Song Yue hadn't finished speaking when someone walked into the classroom, and when they saw the two of them, they sneered and said, "Hey, Marshal Yan isn't here?"

Lu Qiao and Song Yue looked back and saw that it was Sai Er and his friend.

His friend put his hands in his pockets with a look of disdain, but Saier pulled his arm, smiled apologetically at Lu Qiao, and asked with concern: "Did Marshal Yan leave you on purpose today? Hey, even he would Pay attention to such rumors..."

Lu Qiao looked around Saier with thoughtful eyes.

Saier's expression was a little stiff, and he asked with a smile, "...what's wrong?"

Lu Qiao smiled and said, "It's nothing."

On the way he came, although the people next to him had lowered their voices, he still heard a little bit.

Why are they here to run with them today, why Marshal Yan would do such an unfair thing, and what's even more outrageous... What Marshal Yan is also tricked by beauties... What is beauties? !Who is the beauty?Who fell for it? !What about acting in a TV series? !

Lu Qiao was unable to complain, and was angry with these people who spoke bad things about Yan Qiu and ruined Yan Qiu's reputation.

And most importantly, he felt that someone must be fueling the flames.

Thinking of this, Lu Qiao's face turned cold.

So what if you add fuel to the flames?Even though it may cause other examiners to have a bad impression of him, he will use his strength to win the position of Yan Qiu's adjutant!

The friends around Saier were very hostile to him. Seeing his calmness, he couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Marshal Yan is also the number one marshal of the empire. Of course, it is impossible not to care about his reputation, but the rumors have spread. What's the use, isn't that what it is, everyone knows it."

As soon as his words fell, Ji Zhuyun and Yan Qiu walked in.

The moment the man appeared in the classroom, the classroom suddenly fell silent, and all eyes were on him.

Yan Qiu... Yan Qiu appeared!He still appeared in this classroom, as if he had no intention of avoiding it at all!

And even after hearing those rumors, even knowing that everyone was paying attention to the two of them at the moment, Yan Qiu's eyes still fell on the young man in the classroom without any concealment.

Searle clenched his hands tightly.

His friend was slapped in the face so quickly, his face was ugly, and then he gritted his teeth secretly and stared at Lu Qiao, thinking that he was probably quite proud at the moment, after all, Yan Qiu still supported him, but he didn't expect——

As soon as Lu Qiao saw Yan Qiu, he hummed and turned his head away.

——I'm throwing a tantrum! ! !

Lu Qiao hasn't calmed down yet, so don't give Yan Qiu a good look!

Yan Qiu was a little funny, Ji Zhuyun shook his head twice, shook his head and said, "I don't bother to talk to you." He went to his own examination seat.

Song Yue looked at the two of them, and whispered to Lu Qiao, "Why, are you arguing?"

Lu Qiao curled his lips and said, "En!"

...It's even "hmm"!These two actually quarreled when the assessment was approaching? !

Song Yue's face was messed up.

Yan Qiu walked to the front of the classroom. Lu Qiao didn't want to talk to him, so he went down to look for his assessment position. The moment he passed Saier and his friends, he said lightly: "If you don't believe Yan Qiu, you Why are you running for his aide-de-camp position?"

Both of them froze.

Saier’s friend looked back at him angrily—many people in the barracks worshiped Yan Qiu, and of course he did too, and he didn’t want to believe that Yan Qiu would do unjust things, but the fact is, how could there be absolute justice? What about people?

Once the situation they envisioned really happened, wouldn't their feelings, their time and efforts be all in vain? !And the current assessment system can't completely eliminate this possibility, so when he thinks of this, he can't help but get angry!

Saier held him back, and said in a low voice: "Hold it, now that the rumors have spread, other examiners will think about it."

Among the examiners, there were people who were at odds with Yan Qiu, and after hearing such rumors, they would definitely be concerned. In addition, there were so many officers who also participated in the competition paying attention, Lu Qiao was actually the one who was in the worst situation right now.

Thinking of this, his friend suppressed his anger and nodded.

With the attention of so many people, Yan Qiu will naturally become difficult to operate in private.Even if Lu Qiao still won the position of adjutant, judging from the current assessment system, whether he obtained this position under fair circumstances would become a matter of doubt. , The couple's situation in the military will also become very delicate.

All in all, no matter what, they will not be allowed to succeed comfortably.

Thinking of this, Saier's friend suppressed his anger and sneered.

And Saier lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up coldly.

However, at this moment, the classroom suddenly became noisy.

"Second prince!"

"Why is the second prince here?"

"Are you here to be an examiner?"

The two froze for a moment, looked up to the front of the classroom, and saw the second prince Luo Yu walking in with three officers, and Yan Qiu nodded and stood still.

This kind of battle seems to be different from the previous assessment, and Sell suddenly has a bad feeling.

Lu Qiao didn't expect Luo Yu to appear here, and after Luo Yu stood still, he immediately met his eyes and smiled at him.Lu Qiao remembered what happened at the banquet that night, and immediately moved his eyes to look at Yan Qiu.

Yan Qiu had no expression on his face, but his gaze was fixed on him, as if he wanted to occupy his sight.

Lu Qiao thought it was funny, looked away, and went back to look at him, back and forth a few times, finally there was a smile in Yan Qiu's eyes.

Luo Yu didn't pay attention to the small movements between the two, he glanced at Ji Zhuyun whose face had changed since he entered the classroom, stared at Ji Zhuyun who kept staring at him, and turned his head to signal the officer beside him.

One of the officers stepped forward and said seriously: "Attention everyone, starting today, all promotion assessments in the military department will use a new assessment method, cancel individual strength assessments and interviews, and change to single-person scenario simulation drills. Selected by His Majesty himself, the assessment scores are evaluated by the system, and No.1 will be promoted."

As soon as these words came out, everything exploded.

The original assessment method is to select a group of people after the strength assessment, and then the examiner conducts an interview and selection one by one. Because there are many uncertainties in the interview itself, it is completely possible to leave room for black-box operations.But now, this assessment method has been cancelled!

Single-person scenario simulation drills, and the evaluation process is completely without the participation of examiners, only system scoring, so there is no room for black-box operations-the most important thing is that the evaluation scene is personally selected by His Majesty the Emperor!

In this way, who would question the fairness of the assessment?Who dares to question the fairness of the assessment? !

This is already the most fair assessment method they can imagine!

Immediately, many people turned their attention away from Lu Qiao, and Saier's friend also heaved a sigh of relief, concentrating on the next assessment.

Only Saier looked stiff and uncertain.

Luo Yu said with a smile: "Although we examiners will not participate in the scoring, we will randomly enter your simulation scene to check your exam situation to ensure that the system's assessment is correct. If the system judges your physical and mental If the situation is not suitable for continuing the assessment, you will be automatically popped out of the scene, but this means that you have failed the election—the scene lasts for an hour, everyone, come on!"

Another officer said: "When you are ready, you can put on your holographic equipment and enter the scene!"

All the officers below responded: "Yes!"

The same scene also happened in the other four classrooms.

Lu Qiao took one last look at Yan Qiu, sat down in his seat, and put on the holographic helmet.

Among the more than 500 people who participated in the assessment, he was the only recruit.Without the training of the military department, without the baptism of the battlefield, it is a blank.but--

Lu Qiao's heart sank.

After entering the virtual world, a dialog box floated in front of him, asking him if he chose to enter the assessment.

Lu Qiao took a deep breath and chose "Yes".

Seeing that everyone had put on the holographic helmets, the classroom became quiet, Luo Yu said to the man beside him, "Why don't you go to another classroom?"

Yan Qiu glanced at him.

Luo Yu smiled and said: "Wow, the hostility is so heavy. Don't worry, I won't eat him again——I went to the classroom opposite, and entered the simulation scene of these people to see their situation."

Luo Yu waved his hand and turned around to walk outside the classroom. Yan Qiu quietly looked at the figure in the classroom for a while, then turned around, nodded to the three invigilating officers, and left the classroom.

When Lu Qiao regained consciousness, he found himself in a starship.

Outside the window was the bright starry sky, and at the same time, there was a large dense array of fighter planes, mechas, and flying planes walking side by side with the starship he was on.

He is on the battlefield.

Lu Qiao looked around calmly, and soon the terminal rang.

Lu Qiao raised his hand - his hand was still his own, but he was wearing a military uniform and a military terminal on his wrist.

The terminal showed that it was Marshal Lun calling him.

At this moment, a memory flooded into Lu Qiao's mind, and Lu Qiao froze in place.

At this moment, he is the adjutant of Marshal Lun.The Second Legion is fighting against the old enemy of the Cosmic Alliance at the border. They are about to join the enemy army. After clearing the battlefield, they must continue to move forward and immediately support the First Legion located ten light years away, that is—— Yanqiu!

While strange memories poured in, Lu Qiao felt that his other memories were quickly blurred, and at the same time, many strong emotions that did not belong to him were poured in. Lu Qiao frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable—but soon , under the influence of the system, he forgot all the sense of disobedience, completely entered the scene, and became anxious uncontrollably.

Time is running out, they must use the fastest time to solve the enemy in front of them!

Lu Qiao turned around and immediately ran along the route he remembered!

Marshal Lun was waiting for him in the departure warehouse, and Lu Qiao boarded Marshal Lun's two-person mech.

Marshal Lun no longer had his usual hippie smile, but his expression was very serious.He glanced at Lu Qiao and confirmed, "Are you all right?"

Lu Qiao's nerves were tense, he put on the equipment in the mecha, and said in a stiff voice, "It's okay."

"Lu Qiao, you have to keep calm at this time," Marshal Lun said in a deep voice, "I know you're worried about Yan Qiu, but your most important task right now is to deal with the immediate enemy."

My heart involuntarily became more anxious, but Lu Qiao frowned and immediately suppressed it.

Soldiers should always clearly understand their responsibilities and not act emotionally.

He can no longer think about Yan Qiu, but should focus all his attention on the current battlefield.

Lu Qiao regained his composure and said loudly, "Yes!"

The mech formation merged with the fighter formation, and the forces of the enemy and us also merged together, and the flames continued to erupt in the silent universe. This light seemed to be more dazzling and terrifying than the stars.

Marshal Lun's fighting style is very rough, while Lu Qiao's characteristics are dexterity and agility. With the combination of the two, they can't leave a piece of armor anywhere they pass, and they are like a broken bamboo.

The situation gradually became clear three to ten minutes after the fierce battle broke out. Lu Qiao and Lun returned to the starship to guide the follow-up strategy.

Lu Qiao didn't have the slightest problem in cooperating with Marshal Lun En in the battle, but he didn't know if it was because he was thinking about Yan Qiu in his heart, and his spirit was a little tired.

He wanted to contact Yan Qiu, but when he thought that the other party was also fighting the enemy on the battlefield right now, he gave up.

Lu Qiao gritted his teeth, unable to sit down so anxiously, he kept pacing back and forth.

Suddenly footsteps came from behind, and Lu Qiao turned around to see that it was one of his subordinates.

His subordinate looked at him, then looked out of the window, suddenly smiled and said, "I'm worried about him? Can't be like this, you won't be a qualified soldier."

"I know." Lu Qiao clenched his fists and said, staring at the man.

"You can't blame Marshal Lun En," the subordinate said lightly, "When you were told to enter the military headquarters, Marshal Yan already had an adjutant by his side. Marshal Lun En also looked at Marshal Yan's face. You are the one who asked you to run for his adjutant--you can't protect Marshal Yan by his side now, it's your own problem. "

"I know!" Lu Qiao got a little angry, and asked with restraint, "What exactly are you trying to say?!"

The subordinate tilted his head and said, "I just want to remind you to recognize your current responsibilities. Even if Marshal Yan dies on the battlefield, you still have to fulfill your responsibilities as a soldier."

Lu Qiao took a step forward, grabbed the man by the collar, and broke out completely.

Of course he knows, he has always been clear about the duties of a soldier, and he also knows that at this moment he should not have conflicts with his subordinates because of Yan Qiu.But he loves Yan Qiu, he can't suppress the anxiety in his heart at all, why does this person come to say these words to him when he has already tried to suppress it!

This subordinate looked at him lovingly, with sympathy in his eyes, and this sympathy pierced Lu Qiao's nerve even more.

However, in the next second, the subordinate suddenly reached out to caress his face.

Lu Qiao turned his head and stared at him, his subordinate sighed and asked, "Lu Qiao."

"...What?" Lu Qiao squeezed two words out between his teeth.

The subordinate asked softly: "Have you ever seen the galaxy and the gears?"

Lu Qiao frowned: "...what do you mean?"

He hadn't figured out what his subordinate said without thinking, another voice broke into their conversation.

"Adjutant Lu," a soldier with an unfamiliar face stood there in the distance. He glanced at the subordinate in front of Lu Qiao and said to Lu Qiao, "Marshal Lun wants you to go over."

Lu Qiao let go of the person in front of him, glanced at him again, and left.

On the way to the control room, Lu Qiao received a call from Marshal Lun, asking him to go to the departure cabin.

He thought of something, stopped suddenly, and looked at the soldiers beside him—yes, Marshal Lun wanted to find him, just call through the terminal, there was no need to send someone over.This man was not sent by Marshal Lun, he was deliberately dismissed.

The soldier obviously knew that he was aware of this matter, but there was no confusion on his face.He looked at Lu Qiao and said in a soft voice, "Are you afraid?"

Lu Qiao was startled, and pressed his lips tightly.

"Don't be afraid," the soldier said softly. "You know, no matter what happens...he will always be with you."

Luqiao was shocked.

"He won't blame you for not rushing to his side, and he won't blame you for missing the opportunity to become his adjutant because of hesitation," the soldier said slowly, "In fact, he doesn't even want you to go to the battlefield, because he doesn't want to see until you get hurt."

Lu Qiao opened his eyes wide and looked at the man in front of him.

"Don't be afraid of losing him, because you will never lose him," the soldier patted him on the back, and said, "Okay, go to Marshal Lun."

Lu Qiao arrived at the departure warehouse in a daze, and met Marshal Lun En.

Marshal Lun looked at him silently for a few seconds and said, "Lu Qiao, the plan has changed."

Lu Qiao's heart sank, and he said hoarsely, "What happened?"

Lun avoided his eyes and said, "We just received a signal that the enemy's reinforcements are about to arrive on the battlefield in five minutes, and we can't get through."

Only by breaking through this star field can they go to support Yan Qiu, otherwise it will completely disrupt the entire battlefield situation, which will be detrimental to the alliance army.

Lu Qiao clenched his hands and said, "We can deal with the reinforcements as quickly as possible, and then go to support Yanqiu."

Len was silent.

Lu Qiao's heart felt cold, and he asked with a trembling voice, "What's wrong with Yanqiu?"

Lun En didn't speak, Lu Qiao took a step forward, stared at him and asked, "What happened to Yanqiu?"

Lun moved his lips, and finally whispered: "We lost contact with him."

At this moment, Lu Qiao was stunned.

"Loss of contact" is a very simple word, but the meaning behind it, at present, is the worst situation no matter how you look at it.

Lu Qiao almost forgot to breathe. When he came back to his senses, he shook his body and supported the mech to barely stand still.

Lun supported him, and said in a deep voice, "You must enter the mech, Lu Qiao."

Lu Qiao opened his eyes wide, panting for breath while supporting the mecha.

He gritted his teeth and said, "If you break through this battlefield, go support Yanqiu!"

Lun frowned: "We must obey the command of the Union Army headquarters."

Lu Qiao dared not say anything: "Isn't that the plan of the Alliance Army Headquarters?!"

Lun closed his eyes: "But Yanqiu lost contact, the situation on the battlefield has changed, and the Alliance Army headquarters is discussing new countermeasures."

Lu Qiao felt his ears "buzzing": "...What do you mean? Are they planning to leave Yanqiu alone?"

Lun was speechless. Obviously, the Alliance Army Headquarters probably thought so.

How can this be done? !

Lu Qiao thought of that man, the way he smiled, his gentle way, and when he was sitting beside him, the side face that was constantly swept by the light from the window of the aircraft was handsome, quiet and beautiful.

This is the person Lu Qiao hides in his heart, the softest existence in his heart till now.

And the life and death of this man is uncertain now, and the headquarters of the alliance army is very likely to plan to leave him like this-the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, anyone may sacrifice, the headquarters must give priority to the interests of the collective, and Yanqiu, it is very possible will be discarded as such.

Intense anger and unwillingness surged in Lu Qiao's heart, he couldn't accept this reality, and his whole body was shaking non-stop.

Marshal Lun asked beside him: "Lu Qiao, can you get on the mecha?"

Lu Qiao's eyes were red, he didn't speak, just stared at him.

Marshal Lun also had sadness on his face, but he still looked at Lu Qiao and said in a deep voice, "I want you to get on the mecha right now."

Lu Qiao's five fingers tightened, and his nails scraped across the surface of the mecha, making a piercing sound.

Marshal Lun said: "You should have understood when you became a soldier. When you fell in love with a soldier, you should have envisioned such a scene—the duty of a lover or a soldier. Which one do you choose?"

Lu Qiao lowered his head, his fine hair cast a shadow in front of his eyes.

He was shaking violently, his fists were already clenched, and all his veins were sticking out.

His mind was filled with Yan Qiu, all kinds of Yan Qiu talked to him, smiled at him, his heart seemed to be torn apart fiercely by a few hands, almost shattered.

He couldn't lose Yan Qiu, he couldn't imagine what he would look like after losing Yan Qiu...

However, at the moment when he was on the verge of collapse, other images flooded into his mind——

He saw his father, saw Uncle Gavin supporting his body with prosthetic limbs, and saw Uncle Gavin's favorite sister Mia.

The backs of the three of them appeared in front of Lu Qiao's field of vision, slowly being engulfed by the sunlight.

Lu Qiao's head suddenly felt a sharp pain, and he let out a cry of pain, but after the pain passed, he suddenly woke up and let go of his hand.

His tears had already fallen, but there was no longer pain and anger in his eyes, but a daze.After the daze passed, his eyes gradually cleared up, and his body stopped trembling.

Lun was startled.

He saw the young man in front of him raised his head, with tears on his cheeks, but his expression was very calm.

The young man opened his mouth, looked at him and said, "I want them all."

"I will never give up my duties as a lover and as a soldier."

Marshal Lun's face revealed a look of astonishment.

In reality, in the invigilation room next to the five classrooms, there are several generals who are wearing holographic helmets and hovering in the simulated scene of each student. A dozen military officers are watching the pictures of more than 500 personnel on the computer screen. Neural connections.

Two of them are discussing.

"...It is said that the latest technology is used, which can weaken the candidate's memory in reality, and ensure that the candidate's emotions will always follow the scene, and there will be no 'dramatic' situation. Does it feel like a dream?"

"Almost, and I heard that the system will automatically adjust the candidate's emotions... It is really painful to be locked in the scene and accept this kind of 'torture'."

Suddenly, a computer called out, and an officer exclaimed: "A student has escaped the mental lock, and the scene pops up automatically!"

When the other dozen people heard this, they immediately rushed over, some of them didn't understand the situation.

"Wait, pop up automatically? Didn't the system pop him up?!"

"No, it was him who broke free from the control of the scene!"

"How did this happen? Is this a machine failure? Is his holographic device broken?"

The officer who exclaimed at the beginning murmured: "The machines have all been checked, and there can be no malfunctions. In this case, only by breaking away from emotions and roles, and re-strengthening the memory in reality, can candidates be able to break away from the spirit. Lock, log off automatically."

After formally entering the assessment, candidates will automatically go offline once they "play".

But how is this possible? !Just like when dreaming it is almost impossible for anyone to remember that they are dreaming, and they use machines to make sure that doesn't happen!Except, unless the candidate is extremely calm and can completely separate thinking and emotion——

However, the emotions imposed by the system on the candidates are all strong. The emotions are obviously exploding, but the thinking has entered an extremely calm state, so that he is forced to retrieve the memory weakened by the system. How strong is this person's willpower and beliefs? ?

For a moment, the dozen or so officers were stunned.

In classroom No. [-], the three military officers invigilating the examination saw a person take off his holographic helmet, got up and walked over.

The three of them froze for a moment, stood up and said, "Have you been ejected from the scene by the system?"

The young man looked at them in a daze, shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "No."

After speaking, he passed them by and walked out of the classroom in silence.

The three officers were a little puzzled, but at this moment, the first message appeared on the system's score display interface on the holographic screen at the front of the classroom.

Lu Qiao found the terrace on the same floor, and leaned against the railing in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, footsteps came from behind.

Lu Qiao was embraced, and the man asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?"

Looking at the scenery below, Lu Qiao murmured: "Is this what Cheng Yi experienced back then?"

The man was silent for a moment, then said, "It's not exactly the same."

But that's pretty much it.

Lu Qiao lowered his eyes: "I have no right to criticize him."

That day, when Yan Qiu told him what happened between Cheng Yi and Yan's father in Yan's father's room, his first reaction was that Cheng Yi was too emotional and didn't realize his duty as a soldier.

However, when encountering the same situation, although Lu Qiao felt that his emotions were being manipulated by the system, he was not sure if he could be calmer without the interference of the system.

No, it can't be done, the pain in my heart can't be suppressed at all, even if I think about it now, Lu Qiao is terribly uncomfortable.

In terms of emotions, he understood Cheng Yi.

"But you have calmed down, haven't you?" Yan Qiu frowned, "Being able to automatically break away from the system's mental lock means that you have come to a clear conclusion."

"Yes." Lu Qiao replied in a low voice.

After seeing the backs of his father, Uncle Gavin, and sister Mia, he woke up instantly.

Things like "losing" always happen on the battlefield.

So isn't he a soldier?No, he will.

So is he going to disobey the order?No, he can't.

So how should he face such a choice?

The duty of a lover and a soldier, choose one or the other?

No, he wouldn't choose either.

"After you entered my scene, tell me," Lu Qiao turned around, staring at Yan Qiu and said, "Tell me that you will always be with me."

The person who takes him away from the "subordinate" in the scene is played by Yan Qiu.

Yan Qiu caressed his side face lightly and smiled: "En."

Whether it is life or death, Yan Qiu will always be with him. This is the answer Yan Qiu gave him, and it is this answer that makes Lu Qiao understand everything.

Even if Yan Qiu dies on the battlefield, Lu Qiao will continue to fight as a soldier until the day when he also dies in the sea of ​​stars and sleeps with Yan Qiu in this bright universe.

Even if he died in the ward, he would have his ashes scattered on the place where Yan Qiu slept.

No matter how long the distance is, he will eventually rush to Yan Qiu's side. It's just the body that can't separate the two of them, and also can't separate Lu Qiao and everyone he loves.

But there is a better way, which allows Lu Qiao to be a soldier he dreams of becoming while loving this man.

Lu Qiao approached, glanced at Yan Qiu's lips, bridge of nose, and his eyebrows, and said softly, "Do you know what I was thinking at the last moment?"

"What?" Yan Qiu also stared at him, his voice hoarse.

"It's very simple, I broke away from the influence of the system on me, and remembered what I was doing," Lu Qiao's hand slipped down Yan Qiu's arm, and he held Yan Qiu's hand, intertwining his fingers, "I remember, I I have never hesitated to be a soldier, and I have not missed your adjutant assessment, I am working hard for the position I want."

Lu Qiao stared at Yan Qiu with firm and bright eyes: "As long as I become your adjutant, I will never have to experience such a scene again. The two of us will live together, and we will die together."
