Marshal’s Cannon Fodder Spouse [Transmigration] - Chapter 74

Although I have practiced some, but compared to Duan Hengye’s accumulation of strong and perverted skills for the two generations, Duan Hengxing is currently only serving as an idle position in the royal family, not only has a bad foundation and a lot of practical experience is missing.

At the moment when the shot was fired, Duan Hengxing couldn’t help but close his eyes. Then he held the silver mini ray gun tightly with both hands and staggered back several steps before he fell onto the sofa, looking really embarrassed.

The kind of gun Duan Hengxing is currently holding has no recoil at the moment it fires, and there is also no sound. So after pulling the trigger, he could only hear the sound of glass cracking in the villa not far away.

Although Duan Hengxing is a negative character in the original novel, he is not the kind of person who does no evil. Before that, Duan Hengxing had never shot anyone, let alone murder. So when he pulled the trigger because he was out of control, his ears could not help but “buzz”.

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

Although the emotions he showed had always been resisting, he actually did not hate the only brother so much that he would not die. So after realizing that he really pulled the trigger, Duan Hengxing was completely confused.

At this time Duan Hengxing seemed to have been isolated from the world. He had no perception of what was happening outside, and he didn’t dare to look at it. At this moment, he suddenly felt that the light gun he was holding was pulled out suddenly.

The man’s movements were quick, and his hands were not gentle. The moment the metal handle of the gun came out of Duan Hengxing’s hand, a sharp pain came from his tiger’s mouth-the skin that had just held the gun seemed to have been worn out.

This pain finally caused Duan Hengxing’s attention to come back a little, and he slowly opened his eyes. Then I saw Duan Hengye standing beside him, and… Meng Jinhuai behind him.

The person who drew the gun from Duan Hengxing was Meng Jinhuai.

After looking up and seeing him, Duan Hengxing couldn’t help but his eyes widened, and then he felt cold in his hands and feet. Meng Jinhuai…Why is he here? Master Marshal has experienced battle after battle. In the face of dudes like Duan Hengxing, he only needs to show his aura a little, which is enough to scare the opponent.

Different from Duan Hengxing’s nervous and scared reaction after firing the shot, after holding his silver laser gun in his hand, Meng Jinhuai only smiled coldly at the opponent.

I saw Master Marshal habitually put the small weapon on the tip of his finger, and then he flicked his finger casually, and it turned around easily. Obviously such a dangerous weapon, but in Meng Jinhuai’s hands, it is as clever as a toy.

Meng Jinhuai suppressed his aura, but from the perspective of Duan Hengye, who was standing by and familiar with him, the marshal at this time was more dangerous than ever.

Duan Hengye pursed his lips, intending to say something. However, before Duan Hengye could speak, he saw Meng Jinhuai’s other hand, which had been hanging by his side also raised. Master Marshal held the light gun in both hands, and then slowly pointed the muzzle at the center of Duan Hengxing’s forehead.

According to Meng Jinhuai’s skill, he would never need something like a “sight”. However, although he did not see the opponent’s movements clearly, Hengye clearly saw that a red beam belonging to the sight came from the muzzle.

In the interstellar, this is considered an extremely arrogant threat.

Does Meng Jinhuai dare to shoot?

Duan Hengye felt that the answer to this question did not need to be doubted.

Under the battlefield, Meng Jinhuai was always so calm and gentle. Such him is often forgotten. As a marshal driving the highest-level mecha in the interstellar world, Meng Jinhuai’s hands are definitely not less **** than any other person.

Suddenly thinking of this incident, Duan Hengye’s palm suddenly showed some cold sweat.

At this time, Duan Hengxing, who was facing the muzzle, was even more nervous. He shivered and moved towards the other side of the sofa, looking very embarrassed and demeaned. But no matter where Duan Hengxing moves, Meng Jinhuai only needs to adjust the angle of the muzzle slightly to keep him within the range of the laser weapon.

The shallow red light beam kept moving, and Duan Hengxing’s expression became visible to the naked eye and collapsed.

“…Okay…it’s okay.” Duan Hengye, who had been standing next to him 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 Master Marshal’s muzzle away with his hands. This picture is indeed a bit magical, but after Duan Hengye did this, Meng Jinhuai did not show any displeasure at all. On the contrary… Master Marshal actually slowly retracted the gun, and then turned and smiled at Duan Hengye.

This smile was completely different from the sneer when he had just faced Duan Hengxing.

“It’s okay just now.” It was obvious to the naked eye that Duan Hengye was not hurt by his younger brother, and he was located a thousand miles away from the cracked glass. But even so, Meng Jinhuai still looked at the glass **** on the ground with a reassuring look, and then asked quite concerned.

The contrast is huge…Even Duan Hengye didn’t catch up with the rhythm for a while.

After hearing Meng Jinhuai’s so gentle voice, Duan Hengye’s first feeling was actually—this didn’t match the current atmosphere.

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

Compared to when he was pointed at by the gun, Duan Hengxing’s breathing was still rapid at this time, and his emotional ups and downs were still great, but at least he was calmer than before.

If it were in the usual way, perhaps Duan Hengye would not reach out and push the gun away, but who told him to just remember a period of childhood 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 live for more than 20 years, you only learn to complain, or treat yourself If the blame is on the top of other people’s heads. Even if you die under the gun at the last moment, I don’t think there will be a single loss for the entire interstellar or anyone.”

Duan Hengxing slowly raised his head. He listened to the other party continuing to say indifferently: “On the one hand, you are enjoying the current luxurious and labor-free life, but on the other hand… you feel inferior for your mediocrity and not being taken seriously. , And think that you have been disappointed by others. But have you ever thought about what you have done? If you really want to learn mecha-or something else, can anyone in this world really stop you? ”

Duan Hengxing was stunned.

With the sound of waves, Duan Hengye’s speech 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 is a long blank period of more than ten years, Duan Hengxing, who has known each other since birth, has never heard his brother say 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 protection you have been protected by the people around you since you were a child, and how much they have sacrificed for it. You look down on the mediocre rich life. ‘How much effort is hidden behind…”

After Duan Hengye’s voice fell, Meng Jinhuai, who had not spoken, slowly put his arm 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 with a skeptical look, and then said: “Because of an accidental mecha test.”

After hearing Duan Hengxing’s answer, Meng Jinhuai immediately showed an expression of “Sure enough”. After a while, Meng Jinhuai shook his head and said: “It just so happens that the military department has been investigating the incidents of that year recently, and some of them are not convenient to disclose. But no matter what, you, as their youngest son, 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 so, does it mean that…the investigation has yielded some relatively significant results. Meng Jinhuai naturally felt the eyes of the people around him. The hand he put on the back of the sofa behind Duan Hengye gently put down and patted Duan Hengye’s shoulder comfortably.

“What happened to your parents is precisely because of the’Mecha’, not the so-called’Mecha accident’.” Meng Jinhuai said.

“…What do you mean by this?” Duan Hengxing gritted his teeth and asked.

Meng Jinhuai continued to say unhurriedly: “I don’t know if you know what the mech represents in Interstellar. If it’s really not clear, I can tell you-in addition to the symbol of Interstellar’s ​​highest technological productivity, it is related to The latest technologies behind it also represent war and benefit. And your parents…” said Meng Jinhuai suddenly stopped. He glanced at Duan Hengye and saw that the other party’s expression was calm, and then Continuing to say: “It is the interests that are involved in the back of the mecha, which you can’t see. Then there was the so-called’accident’ that year.”

Although Duan Hengxing hates Duan Hengye, he is not a person who has no feelings for his parents. After hearing Meng Jinhuai’s words, although he still said “how is it possible” doubtful words on his mouth, his eyes were already dodging.

Some things, if you don’t want to, seem to be easily overlooked. However, as long as it is pointed by others, the thinking will radiate out instantly. Duan Hengxing is an ignorant person, this is not wrong. But from his simmering hatred for Duan Hengye for so many years, it can be seen that Duan Hengxing is also a very divergent thinking person.

Although only Duan Hengxing, who had dissipated official posts, had no access to the core content of the royal family, he had also seen many dark transactions. So when Meng Jinhuai said this, Duan Hengxing had an outline of something in his heart.

“Oh, yes.” After seeing Duan Hengxing’s gradually changing eyes, Meng Jinhuai continued to add, “In fact, you are the only one who really escapes the danger. From beginning to end, because there are still some mechas. The new technology on the mecha, the life of your family-including your brother Duan Hengye, they have never had a peaceful moment.”

When Meng Jinhuai was speaking, a sea breeze outside the window suddenly blew in through the broken glass. The wind was a bit cold, and Duan Hengye couldn’t help but move to where Meng Jinhuai was sitting.

“You are now not only the life of your parents, but also the **** life of Duan Hengye that ordinary people can’t imagine for more than ten years.” Meng Jinhuai smiled, and then he looked directly at Duan Hengxing. His eyes said almost every word: “After eating the human blood buns, I still continue to be complacent, or complain that they didn’t achieve the best… Duan Hengxing, don’t you think you are very ridiculous?” Meng Jinhuai’s words were full of mockery. After speaking, he finally stood up, and then slowly turned to take a look at the broken glass behind him.

He sternly said: “Then I will remind you again, all the Southern Stars know what you do. I didn’t care about you before because of the relationship with Ah Heng. But after today… I don’t think I need to worry about it. 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 his clothes were a little thin. The cool sea breeze came from all directions, enveloping him.

“A Heng, let’s go home.” Meng Jinhuai said softly, holding Duan Hengye’s hand.

…

After Meng Jinhuai arrived, he directly arranged for Nan Zhuxing’s staff to leave here with Shang Mengzhen. So now, after Ye Pu consciously left, only Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai remained in the starship lounge without guests.

Seeing that Duan Hengye was a little cold by the sea breeze just now, Meng Jinhuai asked the robot to serve a hot drink as soon as he entered the lounge. Duan Hengye took a sip, the taste of the hot drink was generally sweet, but it also had a slightly sour feeling, much like the orange juice he had drunk on the 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 had just said to Duan Hengxing.

But before Duan Hengye could ask, Meng Jinhuai said as if he could see what he was thinking: “A few hours ago, the Military Department retrieved a special copy from the information database more than ten years ago. File.” After talking about this, Meng Jinhuai stopped to look at Duan Hengye, and then suddenly said “I’m sorry” to Duan Hengye without warning.

These three words are really sudden, and very solemn, Meng Jinhuai’s tone and expression called Duan Hengye felt inexplicable panic. Upon seeing this, Duan Hengye, who has always had facial paralysis, suffocated an unnatural smile, and then he asked Meng Jinhuai: “Why did you suddenly tell me this?”

Meng Jinhuai shook his head and said: “The accident that year may have been answered by the military department. Although the documents and materials left in the military department more than ten years ago have not been completely deciphered, the probable cause of the incident is that the document has been It’s almost clear.”

“Yeah.” Duan Hengye slowly withdrew his smile, and then forced his excitement and nodded to Meng Jinhuai seriously.

When the two were talking, the starship had already flown into the vast universe. They are surrounded by brilliant stars, but because they are far away from those stars, light does not shine in. For a while, the only light source in the room was the cold illuminator, which looked particularly deserted.

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

“Remember the fuel we encountered in the ruins of the Academy Planet?” Meng Jinhuai asked.

“Remember, the liquid fuel of the LC number-burning on fire.” Duan Hengye read its name. Hearing this, Meng Jinhuai nodded and continued: “That’s right, the internal fuel used in the solar cannon is burning. When we saw it that day, we already had a general guess in our hearts-your parents, that year. Researched out a method to reduce the internal combustion device of the light energy gun and put it on the light energy gun. Now, this document found in the military clearly tells us that this guess is true.”

Duan Hengye hasn’t spoken for a long time. As a mecha designer, he knows exactly what it means to put a light energy cannon on mecha. This research is also Duan Hengye’s goal all the time. He knows the difficulty better than anyone else. It was just that Duan Hengye never dared to think about it before he discovered the flames that day. In fact, his parents had already found a way to let the mecha carry it more than ten years ago.

Because of the lack of memory and the ignorance of interstellar history, the “parents” of this life only have a shallow impression in Duan Hengye’s mind. With the evaluation of others and the mechas they have developed, Duan Hengye roughly knows that these are two researchers who have 100% enthusiasm for mechas and are extremely talented.

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

For the chaotic empire that year, the meaning of the light energy gun 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 back then, did it…the powers knew that light energy cannons could be loaded by mechas. In order to prevent them from affecting their own interests, That’s why I did it?”

After listening to Duan Hengye’s words, Meng Jinhuai first nodded and then shook his head gently.

“My father passed away too suddenly that year. The power of the Marshal’s Mansion declined drastically for a while, and even had some signs of splitting. As the admiral’s mother was weak, with frequent expeditions, she also vaguely felt that she was in In danger.” Meng Jinhuai began to recall the gloomiest period of his youth.

Although he intended to make up for interstellar history, what Meng Jinhuai is talking about now is still something that Duan Hengye didn’t understand.

Meng Jinhuai lowered his head slightly, and he continued to slowly say to Duan Hengye: “Our parents have been friends since they were young. Although they have gradually become alienated on the surface due to their later identity, the various private contacts and contacts There has been no interruption. In order to leave some support for the younger generations, and also for the empire to win in the future. Back then, the military department had been privately assisting the research institute to study the method of assembling the lethal weapon light energy cannon.”

The paragraph Meng Jinhuai said almost completely coincided with Duan Hengye’s conjecture all along. But after hearing the other party say this, Duan Hengye still didn’t understand why Meng Jinhuai’s “I’m sorry” just now came from.

“Unlike Zhuo Yan, the last emperor of the empire was a suspicious and cruel man. At that time, it happened to be the period when the Southern Stars’ power was the weakest… At the time of the death of the Marshal, signs of civil unrest appeared in the military department. After that, the emperor knew that the academy already had a method for assembling a solar cannon.

Meng Jinhuai didn’t say the following, but Duan Hengye could already imagine it.

However, the facts are exactly the same as he thought-the suspicious old emperor believed that Nan Zhuxing and the research institute had collaborated in private to study the assembly method of the solar cannon, which was definitely to replace himself. So after receiving the whistleblower, they immediately sent someone to the institute.

The royal family wanted to destroy the finished product of the cannon, and stole the technology by the way. Of course there is… to get rid of his disobedient subordinates.

This plan can be said to be a third of the success in the end-the newly developed light energy cannon that can be mounted on the mecha is indeed completely destroyed, and the disobedient subordinates have disappeared from the stars. on.

Perhaps the only regret is that Duan Hengye’s father, after discovering that the surrounding situation was abnormal, directly cleared the way the light energy gun was assembled on the optical brain. Except for the one automatically sent by the emergency system and encrypted and hidden in the military department, there is no trace of it on the interstellar.

But perhaps for the suspicious and narrow-minded royal family, it does not matter whether such a leapfrog weapon can be preserved. What matters is whether the person threatening his status has disappeared.

The following stories are those Duan Hengye knows. After successfully eradicating the threat, the royal family still refused to let the institute go. They sent the well-known eldest son of the genius of the dean and his wife to the current queen family, who was still the prince, and was “raised” by him.

This is more than ten years. For Duan Hengye… it was a life like a nightmare.

Although he had some psychological preparation, Duan Hengye still felt that the amount of information he had just received was no less than the memory and knowledge he had received immediately after being reborn. These things plus the childhood memory Duan Hengye had just recovered, his brain suddenly became stagnant.

Duan Hengye was stunned there.

He stared at the star sea outside the window, but he didn’t focus. At this moment, Duan Hengye’s mind seemed to have many things lingering and spinning, but it seemed to be blank. Time seems to have stopped at this moment, and it seems to have passed this moment.

Duan Hengye didn’t return for a long time, until he suddenly felt that he was firmly embraced by the people around him. At this time, Hengye turned his gaze to the man next to him as if he was waking up from a dream. He didn’t know how fragile and confused his current eyes were from the other side.

As an empire soldier, a marshal, Meng Jinhuai really rarely has such a moment. This unintentional panic and helplessness was not because he thought of his past, but because of Duan Hengye. Meng Jinhuai buried his face on Duan Hengye’s shoulder, and then murmured to him in a low voice: “I’m sorry, Aheng… I’m sorry.”

Meng Jinhuai believes in self-confidence and rarely admits his mistakes. Perhaps all the “sorry” he had in his entire life were all spoken to Duan Hengye today.

“My mother was afraid that the Academy and friends would be affected by the internal disturbances in the military, so she told her heartfelt minister to pick them up temporarily… but in the end there was no time.” The “heartfelt subordinate” mentioned by Meng Jinhuai appeared there. The third person in the accident.

Because of the same presence, he was also included in the royal accident investigation report. But because of his special status, this person was not announced in the end. Later, the military department was in a real mess, and when it was discovered that he was missing, the status of this person’s information column changed to “missing”.

After finishing this sentence, Meng Jinhuai whispered again in Duan Hengye’s ear, “I’m sorry.”

“Nothing I’m sorry.” Duan Heng gave Meng Jinhuai a deep look, 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 “sorry”, Hengye couldn’t help but feel 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 have forgotten it.”

This sentence was indeed spoken by Duan Hengye from the bottom of his heart, but Meng Jinhuai also knew – exactly what happened to Duan Hengye’s memory.

Duan Hengye was at the scene when the accident happened that year. Although Meng Jinhuai hasn’t investigated it yet, the whole process of the incident back then can be guessed by imagination alone. Duan Hengye’s forgetting subconsciously made him more sad than anything.

Although Duan Hengye is not a person with high emotional intelligence, of course he clearly felt Meng Jinhuai’s low mood at this time. So Duan Hengye sat up straight again, and then said to Meng Jinhuai: “By the way, I just remembered a little bit of childhood, it was about… Duan Hengxing and his mother.”

After all, without much experience, Duan Hengye’s change of topic is still a bit jerky. However, Meng Jinhuai is a person who can control his emotions very well. After hearing Duan Hengye’s words, he felt a warm current flowing through his heart, and then sat down, smiled and nodded towards Duan Hengye to signal him to continue.

From Duan Hengye’s tone, I can hear that this story may be regarded as a good memory for him.

Sure enough, the mother described by Duan Hengye is an elegant and gentle person. Although there is only a short memory fragment, Meng Jinhuai can also hear a warm meaning from it.

After talking about this matter, Duan Hengye glanced at Meng Jinhuai, then sighed slightly to show Meng Jinhuai the weapon he had been hiding in his sleeve. Duan Hengye went on to say: “In fact, if it weren’t for this, I might really have started with Duan Hengxing. But after recalling it later, I also found out that it’s not just Duan Hengxing who did not do what my parents hoped. Live well and stay away from interstellar disputes. I also did not fulfill their wishes.”

Duan Hengye’s tone is very plain, but there is also a bit of loneliness that cannot be ignored.

As Meng Jinhuai who has been on the battlefield since he was a child, he understands the sacrifices of his fathers. Only now when the facts tell him that Duan Hengye is also one of the victims, Meng Jinhuai’s mood will be so complicated. Meng Jinhuai is not a person who likes to be horny, he knows what Duan Hengye means.

The juvenile mecha genius, and always ready to make sacrifices for the mecha career, was the choice Duan Hengye’s parents made for him. But if he was asked to choose by himself, Duan Hengye would definitely follow this path.

All of this is not only compelling, but also inevitable.

Thinking of this, Meng Jinhuai gently kissed Duan Hengye’s forehead without warning.

Back then, Nan Zhuxing didn’t protect the research institute as promised, but fortunately, fate left Duan Hengye, the lucky one. Meng Jinhuai was a person who never believed in the so-called “destiny” before, but he was extremely grateful for all this now.

“We will fulfill our future wishes together.” He said.
