The morning episode passed quickly.

However, at breakfast time, Ye Chong, who was sitting opposite the two, felt uncomfortable all over.

The relationship between Du Kang and Chen Yaozhi, even if they didn't say it clearly, as long as they are not blind, they will naturally be aware of it.

However, I don't know what happened. Early this morning, there was an aura of aloofness between the two of them, and the rest of them were isolated from the barrier.

After breakfast, Ye Chong finally said, "Marshal Du Kang? Go back early to take charge of the overall situation, don't waste time in this small place."

Du Kang: "After I find out what I want to know, I will naturally leave."

After a long time, Ye Chong sighed softly and looked at the person who came out of the picturesque opposite.He could guess the purpose of the other party's visit, but the past was like smoke, and he didn't want to look back.

"You really want to know?" Ye Chong asked.

Du Kang nodded.

After another long silence, Ye Chong finally said, "Just ask."

"I want to know if Xiao Liquan's death was really just as simple as in the investigation report?" Du Kang said, saying a name that was a little strange to Chen Yaozhi.

Ye Chong stared at Du Kang with deep eyes, "I thought you would ask about your father."

Ye Chong's aura was suddenly sharp and oppressive, Chen bit his heart and looked at Du Kang worriedly.

Du Kang acted as if nothing had happened: "When my father had an accident, you had been away from the Fourth Army for several years. I believe that there are no such deep old grievances. You didn't resolve them when you left, but you will never forget them after time passes."

Ye Chong, who was the deputy marshal of the Fourth Army two or thirty years ago, was Du Liguo, Marshal of the Fourth Army at that time, the right-hand man of Du Kang's father.However, 30 years ago, Ye Chong defected to the Federation and joined the Tenth Army.It's just that other than people leaving, they didn't take any elite secret weapons and armaments with them, so in those troubled years, there wasn't much disturbance.

Hearing Du Kang's words, Ye Chong smiled, but that smile was not like the spring breeze of his elders, but like a blade as thin as a cicada's wing, once touched, it would cut painfully.

Du Kang continued indifferently: "Besides, Mr. Ye is really capable of dealing with my father, so he won't be willing to settle down here."

Ye Chong suddenly let out a hearty laugh, laughing very recklessly, as if no one was around.

It took a long time before Ye Chong put away his smile and returned to his stern look.

Ye Chong: "Why do you want to inquire about Xiao Liquan?"

Du Kang didn't hide anything, and told the whole story.

When Du Kang was investigating the life relationship of his father Du Liguo, he accidentally noticed Xiao Liquan's death.Obviously the battlefield at that time was attacked by fixed body insects in a mess, why did Xiao Liquan's wounded parts all concentrate in the cockpit.

Intuition told Chen Yaozhi that there was something wrong with Xiao Liquan's death.

"I have two doubts. First, why did my father let a deputy marshal and several subordinates escort the military supplies alone? Second, is it true that no one in the entire Fourth Army questioned Xiao Liquan's death?"

The room fell silent.

After a long time, Ye Chong snorted, and said: "First, I have no way of telling. As a subordinate, I never question the decision of my boss. As for the second point, there are people, but these people either die or run away, such as me."

Du Kang's face turned cold: "What do you mean?"

Ye Chong: "I thought you were so smart that you couldn't fail to hear."

There was another long silence.

Ye Chong sighed: "You are excellent. Your father has passed away, and I shouldn't chew on the tongue of the deceased. But more than half a year before Xiao Liquan passed away, your father changed. I can't explain this change. I used to talk to you He reminisces about the past, and he remembers many things that only the two of us know clearly. But it hasn't changed..."

Ye Chong didn't continue, but just let out another long sigh.

Ye Chong took out a dark gray envelope from the storage bracelet.

"That was the main reason I would have left that year."

Du Kang opened it and found that it was a glossy paper specially used by the military department to keep files after transmitting electronic information.Du Kang carefully distinguished for a while, and finally saw the blurred information above.

It was a long string of numeric codes, and outsiders would definitely be confused when they saw it, but they knew at a glance that this was the geographic coordinates on the Federation star field.As for this string of coordinates, Du Kang didn't need a geographic assistance system, so he knew its corresponding position at once.

This location, which appeared repeatedly during the investigation of Xiao Liquan's accident, was the place where Xiao Liquan was besieged by fixed body insects.

Du Kang suddenly had an ominous premonition: "Where did you find this glossy paper?"

Ye Chong said lightly: "In the waste paper storage room corresponding to your father's office."

All documents, archives, and even ordinary drafts of the military department, as long as they are not archived, must go through a waste paper processor and be turned into fine powder to prevent them from falling outside.

The powder processed by the waste paper processor will not be disposed of at will, but will be connected to the waste paper storage room, and the responsible personnel will process it again regularly, in order to prevent people with similar recovery abilities from tampering.

"I stole this from the waste paper storage room, and I asked a friend to help me restore it. In fact, besides this one, there are also some glossy papers corresponding to the sent mail." Ye Chong said. "The address corresponding to this dispatch is the headquarters."

Du Kang was stunned. "General headquarters?"

"Hmm." Ye Chong said softly. "So, how do you want me to stay in the Fourth Army as if nothing happened? A Fourth Army Marshal, who cooperates with someone from the General Headquarters to kill a Zhongliang."

Du Kang looked at Ye Chong, his mouth and nose were sour and astringent, his head seemed to be stuffed into a mess, and he couldn't find the untie thread.

After nearly a year of investigation, many things are not sunken ships at the bottom of the sea, they all floated to the surface of the sea, and the wind and frost of the year can be seen faintly.

"Maybe my father was framed?" Du Kang said.

Ye Chong chuckled lightly: "You can come to ask this question today, you know it in your mind. Believe it or not, it's just a thought. There is nothing in this world that can be seen clearly. You think you can see it clearly, but in fact you are looking at the moon in the water. You I thought I was looking at a flower in the mirror, but in fact, you have been chasing that flower for a long time.”

Du Kang didn't refute. After a long time, he asked in a low voice: "Why? My father wanted to do this? Is it a faction struggle? Or is it a feat?"

Ye Chong shook his head: "Your father and I have been in the wind and rain for decades, and he is not an ambitious person. I really don't know if a person's mood will change when he reaches a certain age."

The room fell into silence, and Du Kang asked, "Who is that person who communicated with my father?"

Ye Chong shook his head: "I don't know, I have pursued this clue, but in the end it didn't matter. The only thing that can be confirmed is that this person is at the highest level of the general headquarters."

There are 14 people at the highest level of the General Command, and there has been no personnel change in the past 50 years, including Commander-in-Chief Chen Dian, Deputy Commanders Xu Zikang and Jing Yue, and 11 commanders.

Seeing Du Kang's face was as white as lacquered paper, Ye Chong sighed.

Faced with a situation that is out of their control, some people choose to escape, as if they cannot see them, such as themselves.And some people will choose to face difficulties, such as the person opposite.

"Do you dare to touch it?" Ye Chong asked with his hands behind his back. "The path of seeking the truth often involves sacrificing a lot of people, and the final truth may not be a happy day for everyone. It is possible that in the end, you regret the process of pursuing it, and you would even rather not know the truth."

Du Kang felt the cold rushing in from the soles of his feet, mixed with the warm blood in his whole body, he couldn't tell whether the cold swallowed the heat, or the heat infected the cold.

"When a person is alive, he must know right and wrong, so that he can be worthy of the dead. Everyone chooses to live with it, turn a blind eye, and let the truth be buried. How can those who died without knowing why can rest in peace under the Nine Springs." After a long time, Du Kang said.

Ye Chong quietly looked at the young man in front of him. The young man's appearance was too outstanding, but the most attractive thing was the starlight in his pupils.That piece of starlight belongs to the big and fearless young people, not the old people like them who have long been buried in the mud.

Ye Chong talked about the past again, there was the sound of quick steps outside the door, a young soldier pushed the door and entered, seeing Du Kang and Chen Yaozhi in the room, he was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

This person is obviously Ye Chong's confidant, and Ye Chong did not blame him for his reckless behavior, but said: "What happened, I was in a hurry."

The young soldier stood beside Ye Chong: "The boss is awake, but he is not in the right state."

Ye Chong knew it well, nodded, and said to Chen Yaozhi: "Mr. Chen, you need someone to tie the bell to untie the bell. I'm afraid I'll trouble you to accompany me."

Du Kang frowned: "What's the relationship with Ah Zhi?"

Thinking of yesterday's unimaginable experience, Chen Yaozhi shrugged: "Go and have a look, I'm also confused."

==

Perhaps because of the rain last night, the air in Paijindak is exceptionally fresh.Not far away came the sound of military drills, combined with the breeze, forming a sonorous and neat symphony.

Du Kang stretched out his hand and interlocked the fingers of the person beside him.Chen Yaozhi's hands were warm and comfortable, in contrast to his cool personality.Du Kang flirtatiously drew circles in the other's palm, carefully playing with every inch of skin on the jade finger.

Chen Bitzhi's cheeks were slightly flushed, but he didn't break free.

The three of them walked 800 meters and came to a rather elegant building.

Ye Chong turned around, glanced at the two of them, and then said: "This is the marshal's residential area. If the marshal has any abnormalities later, please bear with me, Mr. Chen."

Du Kang was puzzled, what kind of connection did Chen Yaozhi have with Fan Yingran who left the Federation before he was born.

Chen Yaozhi told Du Kang about their rescue plan in the past few days and what he saw and heard last night.

"Looks like you?" Du Kang's hand tightened suddenly, and some scattered fragments popped out of his memory, exuding an inexplicable and eerie atmosphere.

The door opened, and Chen Yaozhi saw Fan Yingran again.Unlike last night when she was gloomy and indifferent at first, and then lost her composure, Fan Yingran at this moment was well-dressed, with a smile of standard social etiquette.

Of course, after seeing Chen Yao, that smile froze unnaturally for a few seconds.

Ye Chong greeted him with a natural attitude, and Chen Yaozhi could feel that the two of them were more like elders who cherished the younger generation than their subordinates.

Fan Yingran invited the two to sit down.He first looked at Du Kang: "I have admired you for a long time, Marshal Du Kang." Then he turned to Chen Bitzhi, his lips trembling slightly, and said softly: "Last night, Mr. Chen."

Du Kang didn't like Fan Yingran's hesitant expression, so he hugged Chen Yaozhi and childishly declared his ownership.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

In the end, Fan Yingran smiled wryly: "Don't worry, I won't find someone to be a substitute."

The room fell into silence again, and the sound from the training ground in the distance was very clear in the silence of the room.

In the end, it was Du Kang who spoke. "Mr. Fan, I have heard of your name for a long time when I was in the First Military Academy."

In the past hundred years, there have been countless people who have been named geniuses in the Federation, but only three people have been recognized by everyone, all from the First Military Academy, one is Du Kang, one is Xiao Liquan, and the other is Fan Yingran.

Du Kang can be regarded as a junior, Xiao Liquan and Fan Yingran are of the same generation, and they were called peerless twins back then.It's a pity that one died in battle, and the other defected to the Federation.

Fan Yingran looked at this most outstanding junior in the entire Federation, he could feel the surging vitality of the youth, like a burning flame that kept adding firewood and fuel, the flames started a prairie fire, and he was so ashamed that no grass could grow.

Fan Yingran said softly: "It is true that the blue is better than the blue."

Du Kang didn't take this polite compliment seriously, and asked: "Actually, I'm quite curious. Not only me, but also the juniors who have studied in the First Military Academy may have doubts about why Mr. Fan would rebel against the Federation."

The matter of Fan Yingran's defection to the Federation was obviously suppressed back then, and little is known about it. Most people have never heard of it, and a few people know about it. However, Fan Yingran was unparalleled in the military academy and disappeared without a trace after graduation. The students of military academies, including students from various schools who intend to join the military, know a thing or two.

The morning light shines into the house through the large windows, warm and public, as if it can illuminate the darkness in all memories and wash away the filth in all the past.

Fan Yingran stared at Du Kang quietly.

Fan Yingran is also a good-looking person, of course he is a bit inferior to Du Kang, but his eyebrows and eyes are extraordinarily handsome.Although he is 30 years older than Du Kang, in the federation where the lifespan of high-level supernatural beings is 400 years, there are not many traces of time on the outside.

Two handsome men sit opposite each other, and the picture is particularly pleasing to the eye.

After a long time, Fan Yingran said, "I don't know what Marshal Du Kang thinks about the formation of the Tenth Army."

Du Kang hesitated for a long time, and said: "The federation is divided into nine major star fields, corresponding to the nine major military departments, each of which is independent, and accepts the overall planning of the general headquarters. As time progresses, the nine major military departments are becoming more and more independent, with their own training and training. The system and characteristic style are becoming more and more obvious. I think the meaning of the General Command is to cultivate an army that is independent from the nine major military departments and is independently coordinated by the General Command, so that it can be more convenient in terms of assistance, support and deployment. , more efficient?"

The corners of Fan Yingran's mouth twitched, neither crying nor smiling. "What you said is quite similar, and it is very consistent with the old men in the general headquarters."

It was hard to tell whether it was a compliment or a derogation, so Du Kang simply remained expressionless.

Fan Yingran: "Then what do you think, to construct such an army, why not select from among the elites of the major military departments, but instead choose inexperienced students and people from the public?"

Du Kang: "It's normal. Soldiers who have stayed in different military departments have obvious styles and characteristics. It is not easy to form a team that works together. More importantly, each military department may not be willing to give elites. , I am afraid that people will be turbulent. Recruiting people who have not joined the army, everything starts from the beginning, it may be harder, but it also lays a solid foundation for the future of the Central Army."

Fan Yingran nodded in agreement, and asked another very abrupt question. "Do you know Xiao Liquan?"

Du Kang's Adam's apple twitched, and he said calmly: "How could I not know each other? Back then, Mr. Fan and Mr. Fan were called the peerless twins of the First Military Academy."

Of course, it could also be the poor man who was killed by his father Du Liguo.

"Marshal Du Kang thinks what is the difference between me and Xiao Liquan?" Fan Yingran continued to ask.

This question is a bit difficult to answer, regardless of appearance, talent and learning, these two people are both first-class and superior, but there are no similar people in the world. If there are differences, there must be thousands of them.

Seeing Du Kang hesitating, Fan Yingran chuckled and said, "Back then, Central Star was recruiting at the First Military Academy, and we both went. I was admitted, but he failed."

Du Kang was greatly surprised, not to say that the two men must be better than the other, but as far as he knows, the Central Army recruited a lot of people in the First Military Academy, no matter how they were eliminated, it would not be Xiao Liquan's turn .

Fan Yingran said quietly: "The biggest difference between me and him, or people like you, is that I have no background and come from a poor family in a white house, while you are all born prominently, and you are all black-clothed children."

The waiter brought hot tea, and the steam was wafting in the slightly cool room.Through the water vapor, Du Kang looked at the man with picturesque eyebrows opposite.

The other party's eyes did not have the cynical look corresponding to these words, but were very calm.A feeling of uneasiness, confusion, and vague foresight blended together, spreading from the bottom of Du Kang's heart.

As if to confirm the mixed feelings in Du Kang's heart, Fan Yingran talked about a long dusty past.
