Qi Yan was already used to Lu Fenghan's outfit, and after observing him for a few days, he even made a note in his mind that "difficulty level: SSS" behind the item "cooking".

Qi Yan spoke before the two of them: "I'm going upstairs to take a shower. Call me when you're ready to eat."

After saying that, he went upstairs without waiting for Lu Fenghan to answer. Only

Lu Fenghan and Vincent were left downstairs.

Lu Fenghan took off his gray plaid apron with one hand and casually put it on the back of the chair. He looked at Vincent: "How did you find me?"

Vincent pulled out the dining chair and sat down without any hesitation. "Didn't you ask me to come? Monger suddenly found me, so there must be someone behind him who gave him instructions. But because of the big defeat on the front line, he was embarrassed inside and out, and few people were willing to get involved with his bad luck, let alone give him directions. Besides, even if someone gave directions, the probability of pointing to me clearly is really not very high."

"So?"

"So I became suspicious and checked where Mengge went and who he met in the past few days. I found out that he knew it was best for him to keep a low profile and not attract attention, so he kept a low profile and seldom went out for social events. Except for the celebration banquet at the Qi family."

Without waiting for Lu Fenghan to ask, Vincent continued, "I did find you from the surveillance video inside the Qi family. It took me a lot of effort. However, what I find strange is that you and Mengge didn't say a word from beginning to end. When did you ask him to come to me?"

Lu Fenghan's eyes moved: "Not a word from beginning to end?"

Vincent: "Yes, I saw from the surveillance that you and Mengge were always in the hall, far apart."

Lu Fenghan couldn't help but look upstairs.

When he met Monger behind the rockery, he did deliberately avoid surveillance. However, he could not avoid surveillance when entering and leaving the hall, and he would definitely be photographed.

But now, Vincent said that during the surveillance, he and Monger were always in the hall.

Lu Fenghan knew very well the ability of Vincent, who had been his adjutant for three years. He would not make mistakes in such a small matter as checking surveillance.

Then, the only possibility was that someone deliberately tampered with the surveillance video and directly erased the part where he and Monger left the hall.

Lu Fenghan had already thought about it, but he didn't show any expression on his face. He just said, "Those who have been in Leto for many years are all smart people. Munger has always been a neutral party. He knows in his heart that I must have exchanged more than just some military information with him in exchange for a smooth promotion. But he didn't point it out. He just followed my instructions and went to find you without asking or saying anything unnecessary."

"Indeed, a simple exchange of interests is safer." Vincent stared at Lu Fenghan for more than ten seconds, and only now did he finally reveal a little bit of "I'm very excited that my former superior is back from the dead" emotion.

He joked, "After the news came back from the front line, I felt that you would definitely not be dead. However, in my guess, you either lost your hands or legs, or you have one eye and a disfigured face. In the end--"

"After all, you are not like now, a complete and complete person? I really disappoint you." Lu Fenghan's smile was always casual, but his eyes slowly turned cold. "If I die, who will give an explanation to those who died?"

Vincent sat up straight abruptly: "Is it really a trap?"

Lu Fenghan: "Or else?"

Vincent knocked on the table habitually with his fists clenched: "It really is... When the news of the great defeat on the front came back, I felt something was wrong. You led the team to support the vanguard troops that had lost contact. Let's not talk about why the vanguard troops suddenly lost contact. Just to say that you were ambushed by the enemy immediately after leaving the relocation point, "It is not logical."

He bent his lips, but he had no smile, and mocked it lightly: "When, the precise coordinates of the front line of military jumping point become common sense that people know if they are on the side of the road?

Compared

with the comparison, Lu Fenghan's temperament was very light: "You know, you don't need to ask."

Vincent looked at Lu Fenghan again, even more strange: "Why don't you die?"

I know that Lu Fenghan is still alive. In the past few days, I have seen how much left.

Lu Fenghan: "I almost died, but was saved."

"Qi Yan?"

"Yeah." Lu Fenghan smiled faintly, "My waist was shot through."

Vincent glanced at Lu Fenghan's waist and asked inquiringly: "Was it really shot through? Will it affect some functions?"

Lu Fenghan's eyes were slightly gloomy.

Vincent waved his hands repeatedly: "Just pretend I didn't say anything, Commander, you continue, continue."

"I was lucky. The airflow caused by the explosion of the command ship pushed me far away, and I happened to encounter an abandoned supply transfer station and hid inside. Otherwise, I would have lost too much blood before the cosmic rays would have killed me."

"What happened next?"

"Later, I found a medical robot with no power, a bunch of expired medicines, and a bundle of discolored bandages at the supply transfer station, and barely bandaged the wound. I waited for an unknown amount of time before a civilian transport ship broke down and temporarily docked. While they were opening the cabin for repairs, I quietly hid inside and returned to Leto."

Vincent raised his eyebrows in surprise after hearing this: "You didn't die?"

Lu Fenghan: "I've been in a Type VI treatment cabin for three days. It's hard to die."

Vincent frowned: "Type VI? What's going on?"

Lu Fenghan thought, I also want to know what's going on.

Type VI treatment chambers are the most advanced treatment methods currently available in the Alliance. As long as a person is still alive, they can cure any injuries, whether it is a broken limb or a complete internal organ damage.

However, due to its outstanding effect, which can almost bring the dead back to life, it is extremely expensive and cannot be mass-produced. The only production capacity is not for civilian use, but for the Alliance military.

As far as he knows, there are only four in the entire Alliance, all deployed on the most intense front lines of the war.

But he saw the fifth one in Qi Yan's bedroom.

Seeing that Lu Fenghan did not answer, Vincent guessed that it might be a military secret and stopped asking.

"So what are you going to do now?"

"On the front line, Weiss has taken the position of acting commander, but with Erich here, there shouldn't be much trouble. The rebels have just made a big step forward, they won't attack rashly, they will stay where they are for a while. During this time, Leto will definitely fight for the position of 'chief commander of the expedition'."

"You are not going back to the front line for the time being."

"Yes, if I go back, how can those people hiding in the dark take action openly? What's more, news from all directions comes to Leto. When there is any disturbance, everyone here is extra sensitive as if there is a sky above their heads. Not many people in Leto know my face, so it is very convenient to act."

After understanding Lu Fenghan's plan, Vincent remembered the scene he saw when he entered the door: "Were you cooking when I just came in?"

"Well, the food outside is not delicious. I'll try the recipe."

Vincent complained in his heart: Who on the starship would rather eat nutritional supplements and nutritional pastes every day than walk a few more steps to heat up the canned mashed potatoes?

And he complains that the food outside is not delicious. Commander Lu, when did you have such high requirements for the quality of life?

"Why did you ask me to come this time?"

Lu Fenghan replied, "Help me check someone."

"Who?"

"The one who took my place now, Weiss Will. I want to know who transferred him to the Expeditionary Force two years ago."

Vincent agreed and pointed upstairs.

Lu Fenghan understood what he meant and simply said, "No need to check, he's not an enemy."

Before leaving, Vincent asked Lu Fenghan, "You haven't been back to Leto for almost ten years. Did you go to the Sky Diamond Plaza when you came back this time?"

"What are you going to do there?"

"Isn't your father's statue standing there?"

Lu Fenghan put his hand on Vincent's shoulder and pushed him out, "What's the point of the statue if the person is gone? See how I look alike to my father?"

The door closed again and Lu Fenghan turned around and walked inside.

His father, Lu Jun, was once a general of the Alliance, and his mother also worked as a civilian in the military. When he was eleven years old, his parents died on the front line, and he has been taken care of by the military ever since.

At the age of fifteen, he was admitted to the First Military Academy as an exception, becoming the youngest student in the academy. He happened to be at a competitive age, and he was rebellious, so he got in fights and got injured almost every day. He

usually won, but sometimes when he lost, he would sneak out of the school, go to the Sky Diamond Square, sit in front of Lu Jun's statue, and complain.

But gradually, he rarely went there.

So what if he complained, Lu Jun couldn't hear him.

No one would help him except if he won the fight himself.

Lu Fenghan went upstairs to call Qiyan for lunch.

The burnt half-finished product in the kitchen was definitely inedible, so the only choice was to continue eating the set meal A in the fresh-keeping box.

Qiyan had just changed his clothes, and the tips of his hair seemed to be soaked with water. He ate a few bites and suddenly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

For three minutes, Lu Fenghan was in a trance.

Lu Fenghan held the chopsticks: "Is Turan Academy about to start school?"

"Yes, there is still half a month."

"You have been in Leto for a month. Have you been to the Sky Diamond Plaza?"

"No." Qi Yan shook his head and remembered, "On the first day I came back, Xia Zhiyang came to the star port to pick me up and drove a hovercraft around the square."

"Then I haven't been there." Lu Fenghan suggested, "Go there after dinner?"

Although it was very sudden, Qi Yan never had any objection to Lu Fenghan's suggestions: "Okay."

Sky Diamond Plaza is the center of Leto. As the symbol of Leto, people from other planets come to visit all year round. But because of its large area, it doesn't seem crowded.

After parking the hovercraft in the parking area, the two walked towards the center. Lu Fenghan asked Qi Yan: "Do you know where the name 'Leto' comes from?"

Qi Yan shook his head.

Lu Fenghan: "'Leto' comes from the Greek mythology of the Earth era, meaning 'nurturer'. In the mythology, Leto is a goddess who gave birth to Artemis, the goddess of hunting and fertility, and Apollo, the sun god in charge of light and the future. In the second technological explosion, humans broke through the limitations of the earth and reached the interstellar. The name 'Leto' can almost tell the ambition of humans - reproduction, conquest, light, and the future."

"...Leto is a new starting point for mankind! At that time, everyone was shouting that mankind is destined to move forward and never retreat!"

A shout came from afar. Qi Yan looked over and saw two people standing on a stone platform, and a crowd of people gathered in a circle under the stone platform.

"Who are they?"

Lu Fenghan looked at them from a distance, then retracted his gaze: "The so-called wandering poets are said to be a traditional profession that flourished on Earth in the eleventh century. These people run around the alliance, promoting their political views and ideas. Their slogans are very lofty, 'For humanity and ideals.'"

Qi Yan had never seen them before, so he took a few steps closer with interest.

The young man on the platform was speaking excitedly: "...After the third technological explosion, we ushered in the heyday of technological prosperity. However, in just over a hundred years, technology was destroyed!

The phrase 'the end of science is theology' is originally due to human arrogance, comparing themselves to gods! If humans had not thought that they had the key to the universe, were eager for quick success and touched the realm of God, how could the Alliance have suffered countless planets exploding, three-fifths of the human race dying, and five of the nine administrative regions that were once conquered by humans sinking back into the eternal darkness of the universe?"

Qi Yan listened to a passage: "Is this person a supporter of the rebels?"

"That's about right. The Alliance has freedom of speech. Even if someone shouts in this square that the Alliance will lose, the military won't dare to arrest anyone."

Lu Fenghan found it interesting and asked Qi Yan, "Do you think the technological destruction that occurred in the 143rd year of the Star Calendar was also due to humans' eagerness for quick success?"

Qi Yan shook his head without hesitation: "Whether it is the Earth calendar or the Star Calendar, the scientific process is the same. New laws are discovered, and new scientific foundations will be established. Next, many unknown fields and areas that humans cannot understand will be solved. From a historical perspective, for example, cell theory, such as relativity. Afterwards, countless scientists will open up new territories on this new foundation."

"However, the foundation on which the third technological explosion relies is hollow and very easy to collapse. Therefore, the subsequent technological destruction is just a fact that was destined from the beginning. There is no so-called 'man challenging the authority of God'."

Lu Fenghan looked at the crowd from afar: "But the rebels use this set of theories to deny science, promote theology, and seduce people's hearts. They also regard all scientists as blasphemers, and based on this, they issued the so-called blacklist."

Qi Yan decided to use silence to express his disdain for this set of theories.

Looking at Qi Yan, Lu Fenghan's hand suddenly felt itchy and wanted to poke this person's face.

But it was just a thought -

what if he cried?

Without listening to the bard's speech, the two passed the fountain and the greenway and stood in front of the sculpture group.

Those who have made great contributions to the alliance will have a place here for future generations to pay tribute to them.

Qi Yan looked at them one by one, stopped, and pointed: "You have the same surname as that person."

Lu Fenghan followed the direction he pointed: "Lu Jun? Well, it's quite a coincidence."
