Chapter 51?
Chapter 51?
After hearing Meng Jinhuai's questioning, Shang Meng couldn't help but step back. She was wearing a pair of stiletto high heels. When she stepped back, Shang Mengzhen's heel hit the stone floor, making a clear sound. Because it was too quiet nearby, the sound of the heel was unexpectedly obvious.
However, as a actress who has already had some experience in the entertainment industry, Shang Mengzhen quickly stabilized her emotions. She smiled nervously at Meng Jinhuai, and then said, "His Lord Marshal, hello."
Probably because of the good conversation with General Kong, Meng Jinhuai seemed to be in a good mood. He smiled and nodded towards Shang Mengzhen as before, then turned to look at Duan Hengye, waiting for his answer.
Duan Hengye didn't need to think about it. Meng Jinhuai definitely remembered what happened to Shang Mengzhen at the banquet a few months ago. And the relationship between myself and the heroine... Although it is not enough to say "friend", it seems that there is no more suitable word to describe it.
So he nodded and said, "Yes."
After hearing this, Meng Jinhuai narrowed his eyes slightly. If he remembers correctly, it seems that Duan Hengye has only two friends once admitted. One of them was Lan Jingchi, the pharmacy genius of An Luo University, and the other was... the woman in front of him.
No matter from which point of view, Shang Mengzhen, Lan Jingchi and Duan Hengye are not from the same world. More importantly, in just a few seconds, Master Marshal found out what Shang Mengzhen and Lan Jingchi had in common-Duan Hengye seemed to have rescued them.
In fact, when Duan Hengye first learned about the real matter of Monk Duan Hengye, even Meng Jinhuai didn't know the purpose of Duan Hengye's doing this. But now, after months of observation and waiting, Meng Jinhuai finally came to a conclusion: Duan Hengye was indeed helping Shang Mengzhen that day.
Hearing Duan Hengye confessing that he and Shang Meng are really friends, Meng Jinhuai turned around again and said with a smile to Shang Mengzhen: "Is that right, hello."
As a citizen of the Yetian Empire, Shang Meng is like everyone else. He would often see news about Meng Jinhuai on the Star Network before. But today is her first close encounter with Meng Jinhuai herself. As a literary and art worker, Shang Mengzhen is naturally sensitive.
She found that Meng Jinhuai was only smiling and greeted herself, but she had the illusion of being seen through by the other party.
But...maybe this is not an illusion.
Shang Meng really didn't like dealing with people she couldn't see, although she still admired the legendary empire marshal. However, psychologically, Shang Mengzhen has slowly drawn Meng Jinhuai out of her future communication range... Shang Mengzhen thought that she had better not get into trouble.
Duan Hengye only saw that within a few seconds, Monk Meng Jinhuai and Shang Mengzhen looked at each other with probing eyes. Then, Shang Mengzhen's expression became a little weird.
Although Shang Mengzhen's heart was shocked by Meng Jinhuai's eyes, he still maintained his apparent elegance. She smiled at Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai, and then said, "Well, I just came to thank Professor Duan today. I won't bother the professor and the marshal now." After finishing speaking, she did not wait for a while. Hengye continued to say something, then lifted the skirt and walked quickly in the other direction of the hall.
And when Shang Mengzhen walked away, Meng Jinhuai also turned and looked at the other side's back. Seeing Meng Jinhuai turned around, Duan Hengye couldn't help but feel surprised. In his impression, Meng Jinhuai is not a person who is easily curious about "unnecessary" characters.
Seeing this, Duan Hengye couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the heroine is indeed the heroine.
It wasn't until Shang Mengzhen completely disappeared in the crowd of the banquet hall that Meng Jinhuai slowly turned around. To Duan Hengye's surprise, Meng Jinhuai frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.
Can't help but... Duan Hengye became nervous.
Although he didn't understand why he was nervous about Meng Jinhuai's expression, after a pause, Duan Hengye still asked Meng Jinhuai: "My Lord Marshal is thinking about something?"
Duan Hengye's words dragged Meng Jinhuai's thoughts back. He glanced at Duan Hengye, but did not speak for a long time. Until Duan Hengye thought that Meng Jinhuai would not answer his own question again, he finally heard the other person slowly re-open his mouth: "The actress just now looks very much like someone I know."
Hearing Meng Jinhuai's words, the long-lost siren in Duan Hengye's brain sounded again.
He once again quickly recalled the plot currently serialized in "Dumping Interstellar". As a heartthrob heroine, Shang Mengzhen has an unexplainable relationship with many male partners in the book. In this book, which has not yet officially announced the final male lead, Marshal Meng Jinhuai is an extremely popular person who is recognized by readers as having a male lead halo.
Just when the readers of this novel were speculating whether Meng Jinhuai was the male lead, the author suddenly appeared and positively denied this speculation. Her original words seemed to be: "As a writer of the Three Views and Superbrightness, she didn't mean to make Meng Jinhuai the hero."
So...Since Meng Jinhuai is not the hero of the book, why does he have a familiar feeling for Shang Mengzhen? What does this have to do with the author's three views?
Duan Hengye felt that his imagination was not enough.
But the next moment, after seeing Meng Jinhuai's conscientious eyes, Duan Hengye's heart suddenly raised a very strange guess.
No... Is it really the same as you thought?
Meng Jinhuai was silent for a while, and then said to Duan Hengye: "...Shang Mengzhen, looks very much like a late elder in my family." After saying this, Meng Jinhuai paused and adjusted his expression. He looked at Duan Hengye and said, "It's okay, I will investigate this matter in private."
A late elder in the family?
Meng Jinhuai's words actually matched the inexplicable brain hole Duan Hengye had just born!
As the heroine in a novel with a little Mary Su, how could Shang Mengzhen not have a noble background that is difficult for ordinary people... The description of her birth in the early stage of this novel is very vague, and it is really true. It may be waiting to surprise the reader.
Suddenly discovering that he might have discovered the truth, Duan Hengye's mood is really complicated...
As time passed, the atmosphere at the banquet finally became lively. Perhaps after seeing the heroine Shang Meng really appear just now, someone slowly finally came to talk to Meng Jinhuai.
Now the Marshal-sama are basically people who are closer to the military headquarters. They know that no one can accurately grasp the balance between the capital star and the southern stars. Rather than walking a tightrope carefully, it is better to stand directly behind one party.
Although there is no direct statement, this is already very obvious.
Meng Jinhuai once again left the quieter corner of the banquet hall because he wanted to discuss business affairs. After Meng Jinhuai left, finally an uninvited guest slowly walked over.
Is the queen of the Ye Tian Empire.
"President Duan, good evening." She held a wine glass in one hand, and put one hand gently on the elbow of the other. When the queen spoke, she leaned back slightly, looking a little sluggish.
Although Duan Hengye is the dean of the Yetian Empire Mecha Research Institute, ordinary people still call him "Professor Duan", and few people directly call him the dean.
Such a title is coupled with the tone of the queen when she speaks, and the ridicule in it is really difficult for people to find out. Unlike Meng Jinhuai, who just kept her voice down as much as possible to speak, the Queen's voice was already very penetrating, and she deliberately amplified the volume when she spoke.
As soon as her words fell, the eyes of the people around them all cast here.
Although it is known that Duan Hengye was adopted and grown up by the Queen's family, in fact, if you carefully recall the public events that the two attended together, you can find that they almost never communicate.
Now is the time when the relationship between Nan Zhuxing and the royal family is delicate. Why is the queen suddenly coming over?
Perhaps most people present did not understand, but Duan Hengye understood the meaning of the other party's words just now. Just as Su Mingge always thought, the achievements Duan Hengye had made before were actually not enough to take on the important task of the dean of the Yetian Empire Mecha Research Institute at a young age.
In fact, the original owner was able to get to where he is today in such a short period of time, and there is some credit behind the Queen's family.
On the one hand, it is for the decentralization of the royal family to seek greater benefits for the family. On the other hand, there may be some reasons for Meng Jinhuai...
In fact, the royal family chose Duan Hengye as the policy. The other side of the marriage is not without reason. As a diamond-level bachelor in StarCraft, countless people are concerned about Meng Jinhuai's relationship issues. And if there are more people who ask, you can naturally feel a bit of his ideal look... It just so happens that Meng Jinhuai has been obsessed with the person he met when he was young, and the person outlined in the words looks like Professor Duan. paragraph.
Seeing this scene, the queen simply pushed the boat directly along the water and continued to perfect the character of Duan Hengye, the flower of high mountains. And provided help behind him, pushing him to the position of dean.
Now that the queen mentions the word "President" in person, it is undoubtedly a reminder to Duan Hengye that he does not rely solely on his own credit for being able to get here today.
In fact, Duan Hengye is not a thick-skinned person. If he encounters such a thing shortly after he has just crossed, he will definitely be called by the other party's guilty conscience. But it's a pity that Duan Hengye has been in this world for a while, and now he has his own results-although it has not yet been announced.
Everyone only saw that Duan Hengye, dressed in white, walked to the Queen's side, and then bowed slightly towards the other side. Now Duan Hengye's expression is still the usual faint look, but people have noticed a carelessness or two from his movements.
Amazingly, no one would feel that Duan Hengye was rude at this time, but instead noticed something elegant.
If the previous Duan Hengye was a perfect silver plate on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, no defect could be found. So now, this white moonlight has turned into a crescent moon. With an elegant and careless arc, it is no longer complete, but it has a more charming silver hook.
After all, I have known Duan Hengye for many years, and the queen can see his attitude at a glance.
Seeing this, the woman walked to a position very close to Duan Hengye, and then lowered her voice and said to him: "Long time no see, have you forgotten your identity."
Although wearing super high heels, Duan Hengye is still a lot taller than the woman in front of him. His gaze looked down, and an unignorable sense of oppression hit his face in an instant. The queen instinctively wanted to take a step back, but the instincts that she had cultivated all the year round in a high position made her stand still.
Duan Hengye gently shook his head towards the woman, and then said: "Your Highness, I am an undercover agent sent by the Royal Family to the Southern Stars."
"...You!" The queen was choked by Duan Hengye's words. After hearing what he said, the woman in red couldn't help looking around in a little panic. After seeing the curious but not shocked gazes of the people around, she indulged in relief.
Fortunately, what Duan Hengye said just now was not heard by others.
"Are you crazy!" she asked sharply in a low voice.
Hearing this, Duan Hengye bends slightly, but the distance between the two of them shrinks once again. Although there are countless secrets in his heart, the magic is that Duan Hengye's eyes always have a childlike clarity. His eyes were very light, and at this time, under the light of the hall, it gave people a light golden illusion.
It's like a shallow stream at sunset.
At this moment, the onlookers read different temperaments from Duan Hengye's body, that is-sexy. A sexiness formed by the interweaving of innocence and complexity, purity, alienation and unruly.
"No. Your Royal Highness, I'm just answering your question."
The queen has never been played like this by an undercover agent. At this time, she looked at Duan Hengye in the eyes of a lunatic. As an ordinary person, the queen certainly would not have thought that Duan Hengye at this time was not alone with the one she had known earlier. She instinctively attributed the change of the other party to the torture of the poisonous hair recently, and called Duan Hengye to hate the royal family.
As an undercover agent who has stolen military secrets countless times, Duan Hengye's own dark history is deep enough. The queen didn't think he would make that kind of choice to die in order to avenge herself.
So the woman calmed down a bit, and then said to Duan Hengye: "If you show a little sincerity to show us, of course the royal family will not call you poisonous. If you can't show sincerity, don't forget that you have a family member. By the royal family."
...Wait, if the queen didn't say these words now, Duan Hengye would really have almost forgotten that he still has a little brother.
To be honest, the Queen's threat is really bad enough.
After hearing the words of the queen, Duan Hengye slowly stood up straight.
It was obvious that Duan Hengye still had that cold expression at this time, but the woman facing him had the illusion of seeing the opposite person sneer.
Duan Hengye said to the queen: "Don't worry, I will show my sincerity." When he said this, although Duan Hengye had a serious face, he was laughing at him secretly in his heart.
The royal family still underestimated Duan Hengye's professional skills. What they didn't know was that Professor Duan had already done something in the recent period of time, and deleted some of his things that shouldn't be kept in the royal star network system...
Seeing Duan Hengye's promise, the queen was finally relieved, but before the woman could say anything, she heard Duan Hengye say: "Then the royal family can show me some sincerity?"
"Of course, the antidote I will..." Before the woman finished speaking, she saw Duan Hengye who was facing her slowly shook her head and said, "It's not an antidote."
"What else is there?" The queen who always likes to be high above and admire the flustered appearance of others, this time finally tried to feel like being pressed by others step by step.
The person who was secretly looking over found that after talking in a low voice for a few days, the queen suddenly couldn't help but step back. He was clearly dressed in white, and he still seemed to care nothing about anything, but Hengye's aura was about to pierce the roof at this time.
It is indeed Professor Duan...Somehow, many people have such a sigh at the same time.
"Nothing." Duan Hengye gently shook his head seemingly casually and said: "It just suddenly remembered something from my childhood, about the experiment accident..." Duan Hengye spoke very slowly, he said. He said, staring at the woman's eyes.
Of course Duan Hengye didn't mention this topic casually. In fact, just as Duan Hengye had cleared his own traces from the royal star network system before, he accidentally retrieved a set of very old, but closely related information.
That was an accident investigation report, and the content of the investigation happened to be the experimental accident that called the original owner's life changed many years ago.
In fact, shortly after entering this book, Duan Hengye had already downloaded an official report on that incident from the Internet. But when Duan Hengye opened the accident investigation report stored on the Royal Indoor Network, he finally discovered that this report, which is not publicly available, was completely different from the one widely circulated on the Star Network.
It is a pity that the second half of the report is like it was deliberately terminated in the middle of the investigation.
Duan Hengye still has no memory of that period of time. He said this only to deceive the other party.
Sure enough, the queen's expression was very strange. By the way, the wine glass that the woman had been holding in her hand shook involuntarily, and the bright red wine collided with the wall, revealing the instant panic in her heart.
The queen raised her head and glanced at Duan Hengye. Perhaps she had been disdainful of Duan Hengye before, thinking that he was just an ordinary undercover agent who was smart but didn't know how to use her own wisdom. But now in her eyes, Duan Hengye seemed to have suddenly opened up, which was terrifying.
"What... did you remember?" she asked Duan Hengye, holding the glass in her hand.
It is different from what I imagined. After hearing the queen's words, Duan Hengye suddenly shook his head and said: "It's nothing, it's just some fragmented memories."
Hearing Duan Hengye's words, the queen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She asked the other party: "Then what do you want the royal family to do?"
Duan Hengye recalled what he saw was only half of the incident investigation report, and then said almost every word: "I want to ask, does your Highness know who the third person in the laboratory was at that time?"
...
This royal birthday banquet started with vigor and vigor, but ended in a little embarrassing. The guests and reporters both noticed that from the moment he entered the venue, Emperor Zhuo Yan had once again disappeared as usual. After talking with Duan Hengye, the queen who was in a good mood was suddenly out of state.
The media did not take pictures of Duan Hengye talking with the queen, so in the end... the most popular woman in this banquet turned out to be the new actress Shang Mengzhen-she seemed to know Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai. ?
Regardless of things in the entertainment industry, in general this banquet was somewhat unexpected, but overall it was smoother than expected.
After leaving the noisy banquet hall of the royal family and boarding the starship, Duan Hengye suddenly felt relieved.
Although I looked very confident just now, only Duan Hengye knew that, as a person who rarely communicates with people in person like this, when he speaks, he is actually very nervous.
Although Meng Jinhuai was talking with someone just now, he didn't hear Duan Hengye chatting with the queen. But Yu Xinlan, who had been silently paying attention to this side, approached Meng Jinhuai's side before the banquet was over and told him what had just happened.
Meng Jinhuai could feel the lower air pressure on Duan Hengye, but in the banquet hall, the marshal did not express his doubts.
It was not until after boarding the starship and seeing Duan Hengye who had taken off his armor on the way back, revealing a fragile and tangled side, Meng Jinhuai finally walked to his side. Duan Hengye was sitting on a sofa near the window at this time. Although he was looking at the galaxy outside, his attention was obviously not on it.
"Aheng, what's the matter?" Meng Jinhuai asked softly while sitting beside him.
Duan Hengye didn't notice Meng Jinhuai's arrival because he was a little absorbed in his thinking. After being awakened by the other party's words, Duan Hengye was taken aback for a while. Finally, he slowly moved his gaze back from the window, and then told all the things he found.
...
"...I want to investigate the experimental accident that year." Duan Hengye said to Meng Jinhuai. He didn't say this in a negotiating tone, but simply notified the other party.
In fact, Duan Hengye could now start to leave the royal family, but the report found in the system told him to stay temporarily. He wanted to follow the royal family and get the truth of the year.
Although in Duan Hengye's memory, the original owner's parents were just a very vague existence, sometimes it took him a lot of effort to remember their looks. But Duan Hengye still felt that there was an inexplicable force driving him. He wanted to find the truth of the matter and comfort the dead souls of the original owner's parents.
The relationship between the royal family and the southern stars is very complicated, and any small matter is enough for both parties to diverge. The accident investigation that year was completely carried out by an institution under the royal family. It is reasonable to say that it is not so easy for Meng Jinhuai to intervene. It may even cause unnecessary trouble.
But after hearing Duan Hengye's words, Meng Jinhuai was silent for a while and slowly stretched out his hand, and then he wrapped the opponent into his arms.
"I'm with you." Meng Jinhuai said softly.
