Meng Jinhuai had once told Duan Hengye that a person's personality could be seen from the way they piloted a mecha. After learning for a while, Duan Hengye agreed with what Meng Jinhuai had said.
In contrast to Yu Xinlan's aggressive piloting style, Duan Hengye gave off a much more peaceful vibe. At the beginning of the match, he had been dodging almost all the time. This was partly because Yu Xinlan's attacks were too precise, making it impossible for Duan Hengye to find the time to counterattack. It was also because of his own mecha piloting habits.
The current scene was so exciting that the onlookers were dumbfounded. However, Meng Jinhuai, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but frown. After a period of learning, Duan Hengye's piloting skills had become very advanced. As a mecha pilot, he was definitely outstanding. However, Duan Hengye also had a very big shortcoming — he didn't know how to kill.
Just like how Duan Hengye spared the life of the attacker on Planet Selection, he would also subconsciously make the same choice when piloting a mecha. Meng Jinhuai's expression gradually became serious …
In the end, there was no clear winner or loser in this match. About 20 minutes later. Duan Hengye and Yu Xinlan stopped their mechas at the same time. The area of the mecha parking area was very large. Due to the influence of the mecha's movements, the wind in this training ground hadn't stopped for a while. Now, with the mech's movements paused, the wind gradually dissipated.
However, although their movements had stopped, the excitement of the onlookers did not calm down. Just like ancient martial arts, a mecha pilot could also learn a lot from a battle between experts. In the short span of twenty to thirty minutes, many people had learned a lot from the duel between two masters.
After the mechas stopped moving, Duan Hengye and Yu Xinlan walked out of their respective cabins. Although the temperature was suitable, Duan Hengye couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat because of the high concentration and the exhaustion of piloting. After getting out of the mecha, the wind that hadn't completely dissipated blew the strands of hair on his forehead up. Some strands of black hair gently stuck to the side of his face, while others were blown to the side by the breeze.
Duan Hengye couldn't help but reach out his hand to gather the strands of hair that were flying in the wind.
At this time, Yu Xinlan also walked out of his mecha. After seeing Duan Hengye, Yu Xinlan stood there shrugged, then quickly walked over to him. Many people around were observing Yu Xinlan's reaction. In their minds, although General Yu was not serious at times, he was actually a person who was very strict with himself.
In particular, many people who had been on the battlefield with Yu Xinlan knew that his desire to win was extraordinarily strong.
Today's battle was just a simple one, and there was no winner or loser in the end. However, for Yu Xinlan, it was already a rare failure.
The mechas were parked not far away, so Yu Xinlan walked over in a short while. Duan Hengye saw that Yu Xinlan's expression was rarely serious. Although Duan Hengye was now very familiar with Yu Xinlan, in reality, he still couldn't figure out what the other party wanted to do.
Just as Duan Hangye was about to ask, he saw his heart suddenly stop more than a meter away. Then, he raised his hand and saluted him with an incomparably solemn military salute.
Not only did Duan Hengye not react, but the others also didn't expect to see such a scene. No one spoke in the entire mecha parking area, only the sound of the wind echoing in their ears.
After a few seconds, Yu Xinlan finally put down her hand. Then, she returned to her previous state. "Amazing, Professor Duan." Yu Xinlan smiled and patted Duan Hengye's shoulder, then walked over to Meng Jinhuai with him.
Meng Jinhuai was indeed worthy of being the marshal of the military. Duan Hengye noticed that even when he was competing with Yu Xinlan, Yu Xinlan still maintained an elegant posture. From afar, Meng Jinhuai had an extraordinary aura and an elegant posture. Even if no one knew that he was the marshal of the military, he was still the most eye-catching person in the crowd.
Yu Xinlan, who was standing next to Duan Hengye, noticed the change in the expressions of the people around him, so when he was about to walk up to Meng Jinhuai, he gently leaned over and whispered in Duan Hengye's ear, "Tsk … Why do you look like you're smitten?" Thinking back carefully, Duan Hengye really did change a lot compared to a year ago.
For example, in the past, Yu Xinlan would have never imagined that such an expression would appear on his face, but now, everything seemed so reasonable …
Because they were closer, Meng Jinhuai also heard Yu Xinlan's words. He took a step forward, glanced at Duan Hengye, and said to Yu Xinlan, "Do you have any objections?"
"… No, no." Well, other than Duan Hengye, the marshal's body also changed a lot.
When Yu Xinlan got out of the mecha, the wind outside was still a little strong, so the loose hair on her forehead that wasn't tied up was a little messy. After she walked over, she undid her hair and tied it up into a neat ponytail. After she finished tidying up her hair and was about to discuss the competition with Duan Hengye and Meng Jinhuai, she saw that the two had already ignored her and were walking away while talking.
"Okay." Miss Yu shrugged again. She was already used to this kind of scene.
The long period of calm before the storm finally came to an end. The one who broke this calm was none other than Nan zhuxing.
After the last galactic pirate incident, the Empire's Empress never appeared in public again. She was placed under house arrest on her family's subordinate planet. At the same time, the old duke finally couldn't overcome this hurdle and walked into the most unstable period of the family.
Although the entire Empire's aristocracy was gradually declining, the Empress family's power was still very strong. In addition to the invisible distribution of power, their various industries were also spread throughout the Ye Tian. People couldn't see what happened at the top, but they could see the changes in those industries.
Many of the industries that originally belonged to the Empress family were taken over by the royal family.
The royal family's actions weren't small, and it seemed like they didn't intend to avoid it. After all, they did this for hundreds of years. But the Yetian Empire today was no longer the same as before.
The royal family didn't come out to explain the last galactic pirate incident. Just when people who had been paying attention to this incident thought that they would choose to ignore it, the Empire's parliament, which had been very quiet, appeared. This time, together with Nan Zhuxing, they sent a public inquiry to the royal family.
On the distant capital planet, Emperor Zhuo Yan's study room was filled with smoke. He held a cigarette between his fingers, and the smoke had already enveloped his entire body.
"Is there any movement from the parliament?" Zhuo Yan quickly browsed through the information on the photon computer while using his free hand to press the space between his eyebrows. Although Zhuo Yan had been trying to regain control of the empire bit by bit since the Selector Star incident, his workload was still far less than Duan Hangye, Meng Jinhuai, and the others.
Now that he encountered a real problem, Zhuo Yan looked at the pile of documents on the optical computer in front of him and felt like his head was about to explode.
After hearing his words, the man standing next to him immediately bowed and said to Zhuo Yan, "Your majesty, the parliament is still the same, but Nan Zhuxing might be … in trouble."
In fact, Zhuo Yan's assistant came to the office to tell him about this. As a person who has been following the emperor for many years, he has seen all kinds of situations and has long developed a fearless temperament. When the assistant said this sentence, his voice couldn't help but tremble due to nervousness.
"What does Meng Jinhuai want to do?" Zhuo Yan asked impatiently. While speaking, the cigarette in his hand had already burned out.
The man threw the cigarette butt in his hand into a glassware not far away and continued to look up at the assistant.
"Nan Zhuxing just informed that there will be a press conference in an hour. However, the content of the press conference hasn't been announced yet, "Zhuo Yan's assistant said.
"Press … press conference?" Zhuo Yan slowly repeated these words. In fact, in addition to Duan Hengye, the royal family also planted other spies in Nan Zhuxing. Unfortunately, except for Duan Hengye, the rest of the spies didn't enter the high-level areas there, and a large number of spies had been discovered recently.
Zhuo Yan didn't know what Nan Zhuxing wanted to do, what they had investigated, and what results they had obtained. However, after hearing the assistant's words, Zhuo Yan's first reaction was still nervousness. He knew very well that Meng Jinhuai hadn't taken action not because he was afraid of him, nor because he didn't have enough evidence.
On the contrary, Nan Zhuxing had never been afraid of the royal family, and they definitely had a lot of evidence in their hands.
The reason why Meng Jinhuai hadn't taken action was that he was lying in wait for the best opportunity.
Zhuo Yan lit a cigarette again and took a deep puff to ease the anxiety in his heart. After seeing Zhuo Yan's expression, the staff member lowered his head and didn't dare say anything. After a while, Zhuo Yan's voice rang in his ear again. "Switch to the galactic channel that will be broadcasting the press conference live."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Nan Zhuxing's press conference started a little abruptly. After receiving the news on the galactic network, everyone in the Yetian Empire who didn't have anything important to do stopped what they were doing and began to nervously wait for the press conference to start. The channel that the military would be broadcasting the press conference live was a little special. It wasn't like most galactic channels that had programs to broadcast throughout the day. Instead, it would only appear after important events had started.
Those who received the notification and turned on their photon computers were greeted with a grayish white screen. However, at this time, everyone was unusually patient. No one switched the channel, afraid that they would miss out on important information.
However, while the entire galaxy was nervous and anticipating the upcoming live broadcast, there were still some things that couldn't be paused … for example, the students' normal classes.
Today happened to be the day that Duan Hengye went to class on Duguang Amro University. He had arrived on this planet a few hours ago.
As the Marshal's spouse, Duan Hengye already knew when the press conference was going to start. He even knew what the content of the press conference was going to be.
When Duan Hengye walked into the classroom, he saw the students whispering to each other. Basically, everyone was staring at their photon computers non-stop, afraid that the press conference would start early and they would miss it.
Today, Duan Hengye came to class earlier than usual. This didn't mean that he wasn't looking forward to the press conference or that he wasn't curious at all. In fact, Duan Hengye was more nervous than anyone else, even more nervous than Emperor Zhuo Yan. The reason he came here early was because he wanted to go to class early. Duan Hengye wanted to focus on his work and not think about the press conference.
After Duan Hengye stood on the podium, he couldn't help but clench his fists under his windbreaker sleeves. When they saw Professor Duan suddenly appear here, the classroom suddenly quieted down. Actually, when they were waiting for the live broadcast, a lot of people were chatting with their classmates about how they were looking forward to seeing Duan Hengye.
Because they were going to class later, they were destined to miss the military press conference. However, Duan Hengye was the other legal owner of Nan zhuxing. They believed that if something big happened, they would be able to get some "spoilers" from Professor Duan's expression. It was even very likely that Duan Hengye would talk about this in class. After all, last time when Nan zhuxing and the League of Lisheng were at war, Duan Hengye did this.
But to everyone's surprise, Duan Hangye, who had arrived at the classroom early, didn't say what they wanted to hear. His expression didn't even change much. After everyone quieted down, Duan Hengye nodded at the students in the classroom. He then turned on his optical computer and said, "There are a lot of things in class today, so we'll start class early."
What? Duan Hengye's words were different from what they expected. Could it be that what they were going to talk about at the Nan zhuxing press conference wasn't important? But why did they make such an urgent announcement?
From Duan Hengye's position, almost every student had a big question mark on their face.
However, today's Professor Duan was just that cold. Not only did he not mention anything that everyone wanted to know, but he also did as he said and started class early.
Mecha related professional classes were originally very difficult, and now, after more than a year, the contents of Duan Hangye's lecture had gradually become more and more profound. In Duan Hengye's class, a second of distraction meant a lot of knowledge that couldn't be filled in later. So when they saw that Professor Duan was really going to start class, they hurriedly put down their optical computers and focused on the center of the classroom.
At the same time, Duan Hengye's optical computer received a message from Meng Jinhuai. "Trust me," he said.
Right now, Amro University was in two completely opposite moods. On one hand, the lecture area was still unbelievably quiet. It still maintained the original look of Amro University. On the other hand, the students who didn't have classes started to watch the press conference. All kinds of exclamations never stopped.
The person who hosted today's press conference was General Dongfang Hewen. He always gave people the impression that he was very serious. So when they saw Dongfang Hewen appear on the screen, everyone's originally excited and even restless mood sank.
People who were familiar with Nan zhuxing knew that there were two generals in the military. Yu Xinlan was mainly in charge of Nan zhuxing's affairs. Generally speaking, she was also the one who spoke to the public. But occasionally, this spokesperson would be Dongfang Hewen. According to previous experience, every time Dongfang Hewen appeared in a press conference with a serious face, something big must have happened.
After starting class in advance, Duan Hangye, who had officially entered work mode, was gradually immersed in teaching. Because he was too focused, the nervousness in his heart disappeared a lot. But not long after class officially started, Duan Hengye's heart couldn't help but beat faster.
This was his instinctive reaction. After feeling this, Duan Hengye couldn't help but look sideways at the optical computer on the side. At this time, the press conference on Nan zhuxing had officially started for ten minutes.
As the spokesperson, Dongfang Hewen went straight to the point and didn't say any nonsense. In just a short ten minutes, he had already dropped a lot of heavy bombs on the Ye Tian Empire and even the entire Interstellar Galaxy. There was too much information for a while. Many people were still thinking about the last one, but a new bomb had already fallen next to them.
Zhuo Yan was right. The reason why Nan zhuxing was silent for so long was because it was waiting for the final moment to hit the weak spot. Dongfang Hewen had a lot of evidence in his hands, and he sorted it out before the press conference began.
Therefore, in these ten minutes, the people watching the live broadcast were dumbfounded. Dongfang Hewen even brought a video to restore what happened on the Empress family's planet.
Oh … so the so-called "galactic pirate" wasn't a galactic pirate, but someone from the royal family pretended to be one. Their purpose was to take away the power of the Empress family and kidnap the useful guests who participated in the event.
The Empress family called Duan Hengye back to their planet not because they wanted the old duke to see him one last time, but because they wanted to threaten him.
This story was as melodramatic as a soap opera. It was so melodramatic that most people didn't immediately worry about the future of the Empire. Instead, they guessed the reason behind it.
What threat did Duan Hengye have? After listening to Dongfang Hewen's words, most people still couldn't figure this out. In their opinion, although Duan Hengye was adopted by the Empress family, the more than ten years of upbringing wasn't enough to threaten them. As for Duan Hengye's brother … It seemed that their relationship wasn't very good. Using Duan Hengye as a threat seemed a bit stupid.
After saying this, Dongfang Hewen, who was standing on the stage, couldn't help but pause.
Although the notice was a bit late, in fact, the content of this press conference had been confirmed countless times by the military. In the end, they decided to tell the truth. But when it was time to tell the entire galaxy, Dongfang Hewen couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
The hesitation was very short, but hundreds of millions of people were staring at Dongfang Hewen. This hesitation didn't escape the eyes of the audience.
Dongfang Hewen glanced at the light screen, then said to the camera, "They threatened Mr. Duan Hengye's drug antidote."
Duan Hengye's drug antidote?
After hearing Dongfang Hewen's words, everyone found that the doubts they had just had were not answered. On the contrary, a bigger mystery was born.
The military's research meeting decided to directly put everything on the table this time without holding anything back, even including Duan Hengye's identity as an "undercover". In fact, this was also forced by the situation. Although Duan Hengye has deleted some important information from the royal family's intranet. But if the royal family wanted to retaliate by disclosing his identity, there was a way. Instead of being exposed later and reducing the authority of the military's press conference, it was better to say it from the beginning.
At this time, Duan Hengye's class was a large circular classroom with thousands of people. Although most people were listening carefully, there were always people who couldn't help but turn on their optical computer and watch the press conference. The amount of information in today's press conference was too much. Because the previous things were explosive enough, when he heard this, the student had already clenched his teeth and didn't scream on the spot.
After swallowing the scream, the student secretly poked the person next to him and then handed over the optical computer.
Thus, as Duan Hangye continued his class on the podium, this new piece of news spread like wildfire in the classroom. Duan Hengye saw a lot of strange looks from the students below, but he didn't care. The person on the podium was so calm that the students who knew the progress of the live broadcast had a sense of disconnect — — as if the live broadcast was happening in a parallel world.
At this time, the content of Dongfang Hewen's talk finally spread out from "drug control" to the main part of today's press conference.
At this time, the people who were watching the Nan zhuxing news broadcast would never have thought that in fact, the "galactic pirate incident" and the relationship between the royal family and the Empress family just now were today's appetizers. Dongfang Hewen spoke again, and the image displayed on the screen behind him also changed to a mecha design blueprint.
The real exciting content had just begun. It was a long passage that spanned decades and was written by countless people.
