Chapter 60
Interstellar 20837, February 12.
A week had passed since the war between humanity and the Zerg ended. The battle ultimately ended with humanity wiping out all Zerg on the front lines and negotiating a truce with the diplomatic zerg sent by the Zerg leader, reclaiming many benefits from the Zerg.
As long as there is war, there will be bloodshed and sacrifice.
Although humanity won the battle, it was enough to remind the empire how much it had suffered.
Therefore, after collecting data from all parties and handling various post-war affairs, the royal family held a commendation meeting on the day before the New Year.
At this time, Yan Xuanjin and Ling Yun were sitting in the first row of the commendation conference stage with the members of the Dark Blade team, listening to the speech of His Majesty the Emperor on the podium.
The two men appeared extremely serious on the surface, and under the 360-degree cameras around them, they exuded the majesty of military officers - however, no one knew that the two of them had secretly hooked their hands together through the gap between the armrests of the seats.
Ling Yun stared at the stage with his blue eyes, but he had no idea what the emperor was saying. He just focused all his attention on the index finger that was pinched by Yan Xuanjin.
What are you doing?
Don’t you know this is a big occasion?
Lingyun was frightened and wanted to pull her fingers back, but the other party held them tightly and prevented her from escaping.
Ling Yun let out a soft click of his tongue, and while no one around was paying attention, he glanced at Yan Xuanjin, who was sitting on his right, which earned him a chuckle.
Shameless.
Lingyun didn't care anymore, but her ears, which were faintly visible among her white hair, turned a little red.
Suddenly, applause broke out. Ling Yun came to his senses and realized that everyone behind him had stood up. He was about to follow suit when Yan Xuanjin pulled him back.
"We are at the end." He naturally retracted his movements and continued clapping.
Lingyun was stunned for a moment, blinked, and murmured "oh" softly.
Another chuckle.
He frowned, and with the help of the people around him, he turned around and looked at Yan Xuanjin angrily: "What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, I'm just happy today." Yan Xuanjin's mouth curves even wider, and his yellow-green eyes are full of smiles.
"cut."
Lingyun said nothing more and turned back.
The agenda of the commendation meeting is always complicated. When it was the turn of Yan Xuanjin and his team to lead the Dark Blade Team to receive the commendation, Ling Yun was already so sleepy that he yawned several times.
He mechanically followed Yan Xuanjin, walked onto the stage step by step, stood in a standard military posture, and looked straight ahead.
Passionate music filled the venue, and the applause from the audience was as loud as thunder and lasted for a long time.
"...Colonel Yan Xuanjin led the Dark Blade Organization through hundreds of defenses during this war. His excellent command ensured that the Dark Blade Organization suffered zero casualties... Because Colonel Yan Xuanjin had already accumulated a wealth of military merit, he was specially approved by the royal family and promoted to Lieutenant General...
...Comrade Ling Yun, as Lieutenant General Yan Xuanjin's liaison guide, has repeatedly assisted Lieutenant General Yan Xuanjin on the front lines during combat. As an SSS-rank guide, his guiding element possesses a rare offensive and deterrent ability, and he serves as a vanguard in every Dark Blade operation... Since Comrade Ling Yun only joined the military three years before the war, with special approval from the royal family, he has been awarded the rank of Major..."
After everyone's commendations were read out, His Majesty the Emperor personally put on epaulettes for the Dark Blade members, and then they were led off the stage.
Ling Yun walked in front of Yan Xuanjin, turned around, and wanted to say something to him, but found that Yan Xuanjin had not come down at all and was still standing on the stage.
……What's the meaning?
Ling Yun stood at the side of the stage, looking at Yan Xuanjin's profile.
Then, he heard the Emperor standing beside Yan Xuanjin say, "At the same time, on behalf of the royal family, I certify Lieutenant General Yan Xuanjin's status as the Sixth Prince..."
Ling Yun recalled what Yan Xuanjin had told him about his past, and now he understood the royal family's intention in recognizing Yan Xuanjin. When Yan Xuanjin was a teenager, his mother had been killed in an assassination attempt. The target of that assassination was Yan Xuanjin, who had tested SSS talent during the awakening talent test.
In order to protect him, his mother did not reveal the hiding place of the secret room in the palace before her death, and thus died at the hands of the assassin.
From then on, in order to protect other members of the royal family and also to protect Yan Xuanjin, he was expelled from the royal family, his identity was changed, and he was sent to a top military academy to study.
However, now Yan Xuanjin is strong enough and has enough deterrent power. No one will threaten his life anymore. At the same time, if Yan Xuanjin chooses to move into the palace, he will become the greatest guarantee of the palace's safety.
What a good calculation...
Ling Yun had complicated thoughts, but he believed that he had no qualifications or position to judge the actions of the royal family at that time.
He watched Yan Xuanjin walk off the stage and come to his side, with a ribbon representing his royal status draped across his shoulders.
"You are unhappy." Yan Xuanjin met Ling Yun's eyes and instantly realized his emotions.
Ling Yun lowered her eyelashes, hesitated for a long time, and said, "I just think that they are taking advantage of you by doing this."
Yan Xuanjin reached out, took off Ling Yun's military cap, and ruffled his soft and delicate white hair: "It doesn't matter, I will use them too."
"I will always suffer at your hands."
Ling Yun raised his head upon hearing this, his pair of gem-clear blue eyes widened, silently accusing the irritating Sixth Prince in front of him.
However, the cunning Sixth Prince seized this opportunity, held Ling Yun's head with his hand, and gently and slowly kissed her pink lips which were slightly pouting to express her dissatisfaction.
A passing camera captured the scene and quickly flew over, but was slapped down by Yan Xuanjin and fell to the ground.
joke.
Lingyun was kissed so hard that her whole body turned red, her eyes were filled with tears, and she was humming softly. Only he could see it.
