Chapter 54: The defense line is broken by interstellar pirates
Mingnuo's love story was posted on the Star Network homepage. At Flynn Manor, after Aunt Dilina attended her father's funeral, her good mood that had lasted for many days disappeared completely at this moment.
Dilina's first reaction was that it was a rumor. Anger immediately took over her mind, and she slammed the cup with a gloomy expression. "Lorian is still a child, how could he possibly be in a relationship?!"
The servants held their breath and dared not speak.
Finelte happened to be home today, dozing off on the sofa out of boredom. She glanced at her mother and said, "He's an adult now. It's just a normal relationship."
Dilina narrowed her eyes. "Did you know this a long time ago?"
Finelt admitted it and said, "Well, he told me on the first day of our relationship. Maybe Lorian thinks I'm the most reasonable older sister."
What's the meaning?
Dilina reflected, could it be that in Lorian's eyes, her aunt was unreasonable? Would she even try to stop them from dating? No, it seemed she really would.
Dilina pondered for a while, got up and drank some mood-stabilizing medicine. After she calmed down, she got up and went to the palace to find Mingnuo. When she arrived, Madam Lin had not left yet.
When Mrs. Lin saw Dilina coming, she sighed with a headache. She felt that her son could avoid Zelphis's beating, but she was afraid that he could not avoid Dilina's beating.
But what was surprising was that this time, Dilina was a hundred times calmer than anyone else present. She first asked Mingnuo in a soft voice whether he really liked Sedwick.
After Ming Nuo nodded, Dilina took out the gift she had carefully prepared for Ming Nuo. The pink gift box was tied with a beautiful bow. "Congratulations on our Lorian's first love. This is a gift for you."
"Thank you, auntie." Ming Nuo accepted the gift with surprise. He never expected that he could get a gift while dating.
Dilina did not favor one over the other and gave one to Sedwick as well. Although Sedwick was also a child she had watched grow up, his position in her heart could not be compared with Lorian.
So Sedwick's gift was half the size of Minnow's.
Sedwick was flattered. He didn't expect that there would be a gift for him. "Thank you, Auntie."
Dilina's actions made Aqir and the others all stunned. Seren whispered to his brothers, "Should we give gifts too?"
Archer gnashed his teeth at Sedwick, "What are you sending me? I won't send any."
Bodwin turned back to pick out a gift: "I'll give it to you."
Seren, a fence-sitter, immediately said, "Then I'll give it to you too."
Both of them gave it... Archer frowned. If he didn't give it, would his baby Lorian feel that he didn't love him and didn't like him as his second uncle?
Archer took a deep breath and suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter.
It seems that this gift must be given.
A few minutes later, Mingnuo received gifts from everyone. She smiled with her eyebrows curved and her beautiful blue eyes were full of joy. She hugged her brothers one by one.
When Aqir heard the sweet "Thank you, second uncle", he immediately felt that this gift was a good one.
After hugging Seren, Mingnuo turned back and happily hugged Sedwick, snuggling close to him and whispering, "It seems that uncle and the others like you very much, too. From now on, we don't have to kiss secretly anymore."
Sedwick's ears turned red, and he raised his hand expressionlessly to cover Mingnuo's mouth.
Mingnuo looked up at Sedwick blankly, the hot breath hitting his palm, "Hmm?"
Why cover his mouth for no reason?
The next second, Sedwick's hand moved away, and Mingnuo instantly felt several pairs of eyes on him. He looked up and saw that his brothers were all staring at him with helpless looks.
Ming Nuo: “…”
He didn't do anything, did he?
The intelligent computer suddenly vibrated. Ming Nuo looked down and saw a message from Dillon, "They don't want to see you kiss, but I do."
Ming Nuo: “…”
He poked Sedwick, who looked down, pretended not to see anything, and silently turned off the intelligent computer for Mingnuo.
Archer crossed his arms and looked at their intimacy. His mood plummeted again. "I hate Stuart."
At this moment, Marshal Stewart sent a communication request to Zelphis.
Marshal Stewart, who was far away in the fringe galaxy, was standing on a starship. Not far away was the military fortress of the Saichuan Empire. A huge number of Tasang monsters were rampaging in the fortress. They had already gone into a frenzy and trampled under their feet anything that stood in their way.
A group of wealthy and powerful people who wanted to escape the civil strife in the Saichuan Empire had already gathered outside the fortress. Most of them were frightened by the sudden appearance of the Tasang monster and ran back in panic.
Some people also found the right time to drive the starship to escape from the fortress. This attack came without any preparation, and a panicked soldier hurriedly aimed his sniper gun at the nearest Tarsan beast.
"boom--"
The Tasan beast's sturdy scales blocked the attack. The scales were still smooth, without even a scratch, but it attracted the attention of the giant creature.
The soldier stared at the weak two-legged beast with his dark green pupils. He swallowed his saliva, and without caring about his responsibilities, he suddenly pushed away the sniper gun and ran away.
The Tasan beast stepped down and everything returned to calm.
In this one-sided crushing, no matter whether it was generals or ordinary people, they had no power to fight back against the Tasan monster.
Marshal Stewart watched from afar the tragic scene ahead that was like a meat grinder. The starship was too quiet and everyone was staring at the scene in a daze.
Someone murmured, "Is this retribution?"
Marshal Stewart tutted his words and told Zelphis in a serious tone, "Your Majesty, the Tasan beast has breached the Saichuan Empire's first line of defense."
Zelphis: "......?"
Marshal Stewart reported the attack from beginning to end. "...We estimate there are several hundred of them, and they are approaching the territory of the Saichuan Empire."
Zelphis inexplicably thought of Ming Jue, and considering the nine Tasan beasts from Helios Academy, he suspected that there must be something hidden behind the collective riot of the Tasan beasts.
Zelphis: "Stay put for now and wait for my instructions."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After hanging up the phone, Ming Nuo listened to the whole process and learned that the situation in the Saichuan Empire was not optimistic. He was filled with worry and said, "Brother, can I contact my uncle? I'm worried about him."
After Zelphis nodded, Mingnuo immediately sent a communication request to Mingjue, and Mingjue answered the call very quickly.
Ming Jue's holographic projection slowly appeared. He was sitting on the sofa in a black casual home suit, looking relaxed and happy. He smiled at Ming Nuo and said, "Nunuo, long time no see.
"Uncle." Ming Nuo looked him up and down and asked nervously, "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
"Of course I'm fine." Ming Jue stared at Ming Nuo's face with his dark eyes and suddenly said, "Do you want to come and play with uncle? Uncle misses you very much."
When Bodwin heard this self-proclaimed title, he stared at Mingjue with unfriendly eyes.
When Ming Nuo heard his uncle invite him to visit his place, he nodded and agreed without a second thought, "Okay, okay."
He hadn't seen his uncle for a long time. But after agreeing, Ming Nuo turned to look at his brother's face, worried that his brother would not allow him to go, so he asked tentatively: "Brother, is it okay?"
Before Zelphis could speak, Ming Jue asked, "Doesn't your brother agree? Give him the AI and I'll talk to him."
Mingnuo hesitantly took off the intelligent computer and handed it to Zelphis.
Zelphis's brows were furrowed. Ming Jue winked at him the moment the result appeared in his intelligent brain. Zelphis understood what he meant and said to Ming Nuo, "You and Sedwick should go feed Bai Mian. We'll probably have to talk for a while."
Ming Nuo: "It's okay, I..." It can wait a little longer.
But before he could finish his words, Sedwick grabbed his hand and pulled him away, saying on the pretext: "I also want to go feed Baimian, you come with me."
Ming Nuo glanced at his brother and said, "Okay..."
After Ming Nuo left, Ming Jue played with a bracelet made of black beads and said slowly, "I think you have heard the news."
Zelphis looked at him coldly, "Are you involved in the Tasan monster riot?"
Although it was a question, Zelphis already had the answer in his mind.
"There's no other way. The situation in Saichuan has been maintained in a delicate balance, and an external force is needed to disrupt it." Ming Jue spoke calmly, gently shaking the Tasang Stone in his hand, making a crisp sound. "Your Majesty, our neighboring country is in crisis. Your humanitarian assistance should be able to gain the upper hand in public opinion."
"As for the collapse of the Saichuan Empire during the support process, it makes sense for you to take over, don't you think?"
Zelphis understood the implication of his words but did not give a direct response. His golden eyes looked directly into Ming Jue's. "Why let Lorian go? You know how dangerous this period is."
"With me protecting him, what danger can there be?" Ming Jue vowed. "After all, my brother has raised Nuonuo for so long. Wouldn't it be nice to let him chop off his enemy's head with his own hands?"
Zelphis: "He doesn't like the sight of blood."
Ming Jue had made up his mind. The corners of his lips curled up, but his eyes were icy cold. "Then I'll do the killing, and he'll just watch from the side and stab a few more times. Nuonuo has agreed, hasn't he?"
Zelphis was silent for a moment, "...My people must stay with Lorien at all times."
Ming Jue: "No problem."
Mingnuo's plan to go to the Saichuan Empire was finalized. For his safety, Zelphis asked Sedwick, Archer and Seren to accompany Mingnuo, and Wen Zhining also lent Mo Lin to them.
Saroyan was also placed under strict surveillance by the empire to prevent him from leaking secrets to the Sechuan Empire.
A few days later, in the morning, one of the most common starships on the market landed on the palace helipad. Mo Lin boarded the starship dejectedly, carrying large and small bags, and the guards that Zelphis had arranged for Mingno followed closely behind.
When Mingnuo was about to part, he hugged his brother reluctantly, rested his head on his brother's shoulder, and promised him, "I will be back soon."
"Yeah." Zelphis stroked Mingno's silver hair and said in a gentle voice, "Be careful."
Mingnuo waved goodbye to his brother. Sedwick and the others stood behind Mingnuo and followed him onto the starship.
A few seconds later, the starship took off and broke through the atmosphere.
The journey from the Perseus Empire to the Saichuan Empire takes five or six hours, passing through the jump points of various galaxies. The universe outside the window is vast and boundless, with dense nebulae, and beautiful colors interwoven into a gorgeous starry sky.
Mingnuo had a separate room and was gazing in amazement at the beautiful sea of stars in front of him. At this moment, Sedwick came in with a plate of fruit, put it on the table, bent down and hugged him from behind.
Ming Nuo was not surprised. He turned around and said, "My eyes were still damaged before I was brought to Ephi Star, so I couldn't see such a beautiful scenery."
Sedwick looked into his sapphire eyes and couldn't help but kiss him. Mingnuo closed his eyes and felt the other's warm breath. "Do you want a kiss?"
"Well, is that okay?"
Ming Nuo thought that there was nothing to do now. His uncle and the others were already discussing business and would not disturb them. The atmosphere was just right, so a kiss would be fine. So he nodded and said, "Okay."
So the two of them began to find the most suitable sitting position, Mingnuo sat on Sedwick's knees, his hands on his shoulders, and Sedwick's hands on the back of his head.
When their lips were about to touch, Ming Nuo suddenly remembered something and raised his hand to press his lips, "Wait a minute."
Looking down, he saw that the smart computer had turned on automatically at some point. Ming Nuo locked the smart computer speechlessly and stuffed it on the pillow. He made sure that Dillon would not secretly watch them kissing before sitting on Sedwick's lap again.
A gentle kiss fell immediately.
A few minutes later, Achir saw that Mingnuo's door was locked, and knocked on his door cautiously, "Lorian, are you in the room?"
As soon as Mingnuo heard his voice, he immediately got off Sedwick, his cheeks flushed, and he wiped his lips, "...Yeah, I'm here."
Aqir was suspicious: "Is there someone else in your room?"
Mingnuo and Sedwick looked at each other. Sedwick went to open the door of the room. Seeing that the person who opened the door was him, Archer immediately stared at Sedwick with a deathly look.
Sedwick calmed his expression and said, "Hello, Uncle."
Aqier pulled the corner of his lips coldly: "I'm not okay at all."
Sedwick: "..."
It seems that even after giving him a gift, Second Uncle still has a lot of opinions about Sedwick. Mingnuo feels that he is in a very difficult situation.
He walked up to Sedwick and said, "Second uncle, what's going on?"
There was nothing wrong at all, he just came to see what the young couple was doing. Archer lowered his eyes and looked at Mingnuo's abnormally red lips, and the anger of having his little cabbage taken away by a pig filled his heart again.
Aqir made up an excuse and said, "Come to the cockpit and I'll teach you how to fly a starship."
Ming Nuo: “Ah?”
He drives a starship?
Archer pulled Mingnuo into the driver's seat without saying a word. Sedwick touched his nose and had no choice but to follow him obediently.
In the cockpit, Archer actually began to teach Mingnuo how to control the starship, and the starship pilot also patiently supplemented the knowledge points on the side. Of course, they were not so crazy as to let Mingnuo drive the starship.
The view in the cockpit was wide. While Ming Nuo was studying, he suddenly saw several starships with skull markings chasing and intercepting another starship.
Ming Nuo recognized the mark at first sight, his expression indignant, "It's the Wandering Legion, those interstellar pirates!"
The bandits who stole his candy and made him afraid to buy intergalactic express for several months!
