Chapter 131 It’s Too Late to Mend the Fence After the Sheep Have Been Lost (36) End
Seventeen years have not been able to dilute the memories he left for everyone in the alliance. Even his voice and tone of voice are still the same as in memory.
It seemed as if these times were just a narrow river, and they and this man looked across the water, vaguely like the old days.
"Marshal Tang." Shen Minghuan greeted politely.
Tang Chaoyan was not surprised that the other party recognized him. He asked curiously: "How can you conjure a sword?"
Shen Minghuan looked at his right hand: "..."
It turns out that normal SS level can't do it?
The long sword disappeared in his hand, Shen Minghuan's expression remained unchanged, "I don't know either."
Yan of the Tang Dynasty was still very young when he died. His spiritual body fixed his age, and his slim combat uniform made him look more heroic.
He had a smile on his face and was high-spirited, a smile that belonged to the genius commander of the Alliance.
He is the only one who can smile so freely and calmly, while others are a little less proud and confident than him.
Not only because of his own strength, but also because he is backed by the love and trust of the entire alliance.
No one can face the unpredictable world with more confidence than him.
But he was eventually abandoned by his own supporters.
Shen Minghuan sighed, "Has the Marshal been here for the past seventeen years?"
"Ah?" Tang Chaoyan also imitated him and sighed, "Has it actually been seventeen years?"
Then the two of them stared at each other, and then laughed out loud in unison.
The Zerg Queen on the side was trembling, not daring to disturb the conversation between the two.
The mecha that fell to the ground conveyed everything in front of it quietly and faithfully, in exchange for an even emptier silence under the Alliance sky.
Maybe it was because he hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time. Shen Minghuan didn't need to ask any more questions. Tang Chaoyan actively explained, "At that time... oh, seventeen years ago, I couldn't see this thing."
He pointed at the phantom of the Queen of the Zerg, "I was controlling my Hope mecha to kill everyone, making the Zerg cry for their father and mother, but then I felt like something was drilling into my brain, and I accidentally... Being squeezed out.”
He was referring to his spiritual body being squeezed out of his physical body.
As the first SS-level member in the league, no one could teach him that his spiritual body could be released without the help of a medium.
"It snatched my body, so of course I wouldn't do it. I just fought it. It couldn't kill me and I couldn't kill it. Then it tried to escape. I didn't stop doing it. I just chased it here and continued to fight. ." When Tang Chaoyan said this, he glared at the Zerg Queen Xuying mockingly.
He is undoubtedly a genius. After he was unprepared and suffered a blow at first, he quickly learned how to survive and attack using his mental state.
No one can live forever, certainly not the spiritual body.
Tang Chao Yan and Shen Minghuan stood together. His shadow was obviously much lighter. There was almost no light gold, and only a few transparent shadows remained, as if they were scattered by the wind.
He didn't realize it, but he was still in high spirits: "It must regret messing with me in this life. I was much better at the beginning than I am now. I beat it until it couldn't eat, and it lost a lot of insects."
In the Tang Dynasty, Yan's eyebrows were dancing with joy and pride.
Shen Minghuan looked at him steadily and said softly: "About six or seven years ago, the alliance was peaceful for nearly ten years."
——"Marshal, the period you mentioned was ten years of stability for the alliance."
As if infected by Shen Minghuan's serious mood, Tang Chaoyan's smile slowly faded, and he said calmly: "It's a pity that I didn't hold on, and it was chaotic for another seven years."
He sighed, "Seven years."
He didn't think those ten years were long, but felt sad every day and night during these seven years.
The distant Emperor Star is bright and dark, flowers bloom and wither, and snow falls after the rain stops.
The barren insect star has no seasons.
Tang Chaoyan kept his eyes open and dared not fall asleep even in the darkest and quietest night. He was fighting all the time.
At the beginning, he didn't know how long he would persist, but with the Alliance behind him, he had to persist until he could no longer hold on.
Tang Chaoyan did not say these words, but everyone who was watching and listening to all this could think of it.
Turns out this is the truth.
It's not tragic, it's just a day and night journey with no end in sight, it's just hopeless struggle and blood and tears.
Don't dare to be distracted, don't dare to be homesick, don't dare to relax, don't dare to be weak for a moment.
The traces of time become blurry, maybe a long time has passed, maybe it's just a moment.
He stays here, guarding the insect star where the sunrise cannot be seen, in exchange for the long grass and orioles flying in his distant home, and the spring breeze is like intoxication.
Although Shen Minghuan has witnessed many legends, he has to admit that these seventeen years of perseverance can undoubtedly be called a miracle.
"Now, I have said so much, can I ask you a question?" Tang Chaoyan looked at Shen Minghuan expectantly.
However, after Shen Minghuan nodded, he suddenly hesitated.
"Are you, are you..." Tang Chaoyan gritted his teeth and asked loudly: "Are you seventeen years old this year?"
Tang Chaoyan, who has been fighting with the Zerg Queen for seventeen years, now seems to have used up all his courage to ask a question, and he did not dare to ask the real doubts until the end.
He clenched his fists unconsciously. If his mental body could sweat, he would be sweating profusely by now, with cold sweat soaking through his clothes.
Under Tang Chaoyan's nervous gaze, Shen Minghuan nodded again.
An expected answer.
Tang Chaoyan exhausted all his energy while waiting. His always straight back bent slightly, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, "How have you been in these years?"
Shen Minghuan was silent for a moment, "Marshal, you must have misunderstood, I am not."
"It's right that you don't want to recognize me. I'm sorry for you and A'li."
Tang Chaoyan's eyes were guilty and gentle, "You must be having a hard time. Did Mo Hongxue take care of you? There are also teachers, the principal Xie Xu of the First Army, Chang Qing, Fan Ting, Lan He, Qiu Shuang, Daming, Zhixuan, Zhao Qi...are there one or two..."
Are there any people who have given you some kindness because of my existence?
Or have I only left you with unexplainable sins and an extremely rough life?
Shen Minghuan sighed, with complicated eyes, "You..."
Tang Chaoyan probably knew that he would ask such a question.
Knowing his bad reputation, Hexing.com belongs to him in the messy square.
"I saw that I killed the adjutant." Tang Chaoyan murmured softly, "I originally thought...I thought they would believe me, but here you are."
He smiled reluctantly, and his figure seemed to fade a little, "You are only seventeen years old, no matter what... you shouldn't be here..."
Tang Chaoyan never failed the alliance in his life, it was the alliance that failed him.
He stood alone here day and night, but the people behind him who he fought for were reluctant to give him any trust.
First he killed his wife and then wantonly insulted his son.
"Ah!" Fan Ting half-knelt on the ground, looked up to the sky, cried and roared, and stabbed his neck with a knife.
Not only him, but also the long list mentioned by Tang Chaoyan just now, every one of them wanted to commit suicide on the spot.
They scolded this man for seventeen years.
For more than six thousand two hundred days and nights, this man stayed on the insect star day and night, and they, the protected people, used the most vicious words to insult him, and even harmed his children with righteousness.
Shen Minghuan was seriously ill from exhaustion not long ago.
Insect Tide was not praised for such a great contribution, and he didn't even receive a few kind words.
The reason why I haven't been officially appointed by the alliance until today is because they have something to ask for.
They gave him the most dangerous tasks and the most arduous requirements, but did not give him the same honor and treatment.
With his talents, he should clearly be the pride of heaven and be treated with dignity and respect, but now anyone can insult him, and people who are not as good as him can force him to do whatever they want, without even a word of "thank you" in the end. .
"I volunteered." Shen Minghuan couldn't help but stretched out his hand to hold Tang Chaoyan. The two spiritual bodies merged, and the figure that was almost dissipating seemed to solidify.
Shen Minghuan said: "I am not your son. He is living a good life. Do you want to go back to the alliance to see him?"
Can you come back?
Fan Ting and others, who were grabbing weapons to commit suicide with their colleagues, suddenly stopped. The people around them breathed a sigh of relief and put their hands behind their backs and pushed them to the ground to prevent these people from continuing to do stupid things.
Fan Ting and others let him do whatever he wanted without struggling, and could only shed tears.
If I could come back, if I could come back...
The key words have been spoken, so there is no point in pretending.
"You are my son, you don't have to admit it, but that's the fact." Tang Chaoyan returned to the smile he had when we first met him. He emphasized seriously and seriously, and then smiled again, "I have been dead for so long. Now, where else can we go back?”
"I can." Shen Minghuan said, "I can take you back if you want."
[Host, this is against the rules and Heaven will not allow it. ] The system whispered.
Shen Minghuan ignored it and only looked at Tang Chaoyan.
"My son is so filial." Tang Chaoyan chuckled, "There is no free lunch in the world. When a person dies, he dies... I mean, I won't go back."
He should have been dead a long time ago, and the reason why he is still here is partly due to his persistent obsession and partly due to the strangeness of the planet's magnetic field.
He sighed: "You also said that you are not my son. I can tell at a glance that you have no intention of leaving here. Since you were a child, as a father, I have never accompanied you, learning to walk, doing handicrafts, practicing mecha... this time It’s hard to get a chance.”
Shen Minghuan gave up the topic of struggling to have a son. He glanced at the camera, pulled Tang Chaoyan and quickly explained the "identity swap" in a lowered voice, "You still have time to regret it now, do you want to go back?"
Tang Chaoyan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly took a breath of cold air, leaned over and coughed rapidly.
"Fuck." The marshal cursed loudly while coughing.
He was afraid that Shen Minghuan would misunderstand, so he didn't dare to waste a moment. He coughed and struggled to tug on Shen Minghuan's sleeve, and insisted persistently: "You are my son!"
He knew that the young man wanted to hide this matter, so Mo Hongxue was innocent, and he was still the clean commander of Qinglong.
The Alliance has not made mistakes again and again. It is still a powerful and just ruling organization worthy of everyone's respect and love.
But what to do with this person?
Where in the vast world is he going?
Shen Minghuan was stunned and did not continue to refute.
During the two months when the original owner was imprisoned, the guards were angry and naturally could not deliver three meals on time.
Shao Kunli saved his share every time, and the original owner never went hungry. Later, when he was sent to the destroyer and encountered turbulence in time and space, it was Shao Kunli who risked his life to protect him.
The original owner was too young to remember these things, but Shen Minghuan knew about them.
If you don't look at the initial exchange of identities, he is really more like the son of Yan of the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that the original owner's slightly absurd life also started with Ms. Shao Kunli's acquiescence.
Shen Minghuan lowered his head slightly and smiled sarcastically.
"You really don't want to go back?" Shen Minghuan pointed at the mecha and smiled gently: "There are cameras on it, live broadcast, Marshal, everyone will remember everything you have done for the alliance."
If you go back, you will be the great hero of the alliance, and everyone in the world owes you and feels guilty about you.
Tang Chaoyan rolled up his sleeves, "That means those ungrateful people can see and hear it, right?"
He put his hands on his hips and faced the mecha, his face full of anger, but he didn't say the next sentence for a long time.
"Marshal?"
"Forget it." Tang Chaoyan put down his sleeves embarrassedly, "It's come to this, there's no point in talking about it anymore. Compared to this, I care more about one thing, please satisfy me."
Shen Minghuan raised his eyes: "What?"
"What's your name?" Tang Chaoyan said seriously, "It's very important to me."
"...Shen Minghuan."
Tang Chaoyan read it out loud and praised: "Minghuan, good name, I remember it."
He saw Shen Minghuan jump on the mecha and fumble around, and asked curiously: "What are you doing?"
Shen Minghuan didn't even turn his head, "The mecha is controlled by mental power, I'll try to see if I can activate its self-destruct program."
He smiled in the direction of the camera, "Actually, it can be activated by the alliance, but... I'll do it myself."
Lest you be unable to do it, and lest you feel guilty for the rest of your life.
"Oh, it's... a self-destruct program?"
Tang Chaoyan's smile gradually cooled, "Did they add a self-destruct program to your mecha?"
"I proposed it myself, ah, it can be activated."
Shen Minghuan nodded with satisfaction, and said with some entanglement: "I don't know if the power is strong enough, whether it can blow up the insect planet, I would have improved it if I had known."
Tang Chaoyan did not disturb him, and watched him operate quietly, and finally asked sadly: "I can't stop you, right?"
Shen Minghuan turned around and smiled at him, and nodded again.
The live broadcast room suddenly darkened.
That night, if you live on a planet adjacent to the border, you can see a brilliant meteor if you look up at the sky.
