MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 141

Shang Ping always knew that Edgar was special to him.

Edgar was his father, his brother, his friend. This man taught him all the qualities of a Mars boy, and it was his existence that allowed Shang Ping, who had memories of two lives, to integrate into a human civilization that was very different from the Earth era. For Shang Ping, the extra memory of a lifetime is not a good thing, and sometimes it is even a burden.

Mars is a martial civilization. Shang Ping was born in a peaceful age, and he has a soul that cannot be integrated into this world. It was Edgar who took his hand and took Shang Ping on a journey of another life. Without this man, Shang Ping didn't know what he would be like, maybe he would be crazy. Shang Ping does not deny his selfishness and cowardice, he has never been a heroic figure.

Goodwill is a lunatic, and he has gone mad. Shang Ping was not sure how far this man would go for his obsession, and whether his choice was right or wrong, but he knew that he would not kill him for Mars, so Shang Ping betrayed him. Mars. If it was for Edgar... Shang Ping didn't know.

Fortunately, Edgar was caught by goodwill before this assumption became possible.

Shang Ping knew that his happiness was shameful, but he still inevitably had this emotion.

Edgar was not confined with the other Mars soldiers, he was sent to a separate cell with Charles and William. It is more like a spacious bedroom than a prison cell, with three large beds covered with soft duvets occupying half of the wall, a brown carpet on the shiny metallic floor, and a round table in the center of the room. , the round table vases are filled with gorgeous blooming seasonal flowers that add a touch of gentleness to the room. In addition to these, there is a medium-sized refrigerator in the room, which stores some food and even two bottles of wine. The only thing reminiscent of this is the locked door and the laser guards on the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Major General Charles did not say a word after entering the room, Colonel William seemed to want to say something, but he stopped. Major General Edgar did not ignore the gazes of the two. He knew what the two were thinking. Major General Charles might still wonder if he had betrayed Mars. However, he couldn't explain it, and he didn't know how to explain it at all.

Ignoring Charles' increasingly exposed emotions, Major General Edgar stretched leisurely, hung his general's hat on the hanger beside the bed, opened the refrigerator, and took out a bottle of wine in surprise. In fact, he There are indeed some surprises. This is a 200-year-old Alma planet wine, and the price is his three-month salary.

"Want a drink?"

Major General Edgar took out the cup from the corner cabinet by the wall, and Major General Charles snorted. If it wasn't for the effects of the anesthesia, Edgar was sure he would have swooped in and punched him. Colonel William smiled. "Give me a drink, please."

"OK."

Major General Edgar and Colonel William turned a blind eye to Charles' anger at the same time. Compared with David South, Edgar was more favorable to Diana. If she was not a woman and married David South, Edgar was convinced that her achievements would never be just the excellent wife of the Commander-in-Chief of the Mars Space Fleet. Colonel William, her brother.

"Commander, what do you think Goodwill wants to do?"

"Let's call me Edgar. You call me Commander now, it's ironic to me."

Major General Edgar shook the glass gently, "You wouldn't want to know, William." He drank the wine from the glass.

"Will it be worse than it is now?"

"Trust me, bad things can never be too much."

Major General Edgar ignored William, and the young man wanted to ask something from him, perhaps what had happened in the hours when he was taken away by Goodwill. But Edgar didn't intend to tell him that he already knew Goodwill's plan. Even if he couldn't accurately grasp the overall plan of Goodwill, he knew that these captured Mars soldiers would never end well.

Betrayed by Mars, do you want everyone to be buried with you?

Edgar has always been reluctant to believe that his best friend for more than ten years will do such crazy things, but it is not something he doesn't want to believe that it will not happen. Xiao Xia died, her beliefs were torn apart, and she witnessed the betrayal of herself loyal to the country with her own eyes. Edgar once thought about what would happen to him, maybe it would be the same as goodwill. People who have not experienced it themselves will never have the right to accuse others of being crazy. However, this should not include those innocent people.

"The world is unpredictable..."

Indeed, things are unpredictable, as Edgar was taken out of the room again before he had time to fill his glass. He imagined several possibilities, but did not expect it to be this one.

"Shang Ping?"

"Uncle Edgar, long time no see."

Edgar's first reaction was to rush up and hug Shang Ping, holding it up high, "Baby, you are still alive! I knew you were still alive! Ha!"

Edgar's surprise was beyond words, and Shang Ping's smile was also tinged with joy. He let Edgar's strong arms throw himself high, and when he fell, he opened his hands and hugged Edgar's neck firmly. , buried in a familiar embrace.

His father, his brother, his friend...

If Mars really had anything that he would really be willing to exchange his life for, it would be this man who was almost integrated into his life. Not even Austin South.

He is a selfish man, extremely selfish.

He is also a mean person, mean and shameless, selfish and willful.

However, only this man can't!

"Uncle Edgar..."

A low voice, like a silent breeze. Major General Edgar embraced Shang Ping, holding him in his arms as he did countless times when he was a child, and looked at Goodwill who was sitting on the side, "Hey, you bastard, are you bullying my baby?"

"Edgar, he's my baby too. Your accusations are baseless."

Goodwill shrugged, stood up and walked in front of the two people, reached out and combed Shang Ping's black hair, and then took out an amethyst hairpin from his pocket. Under Edgar's incredible gaze, the hairpin was caught. Decorated on Shang Ping's black hair.

"Okay, baby, I'm going out first. Edgar, don't make him cry."

"Why, do I still need your permission for the child I raised?"

"No, I can understand. But, the other person will be angry. You don't want to be embarrassed, baby?"

"Who?"

Goodwill smiled mysteriously and said meaningfully: "Edgar, our baby is very cute, very cute."

Edgar looked at Goodwill inexplicably, and immediately after he left, he took off the hairpin on Shang Ping's head and threw it aside. This man's bad taste has remained unchanged for decades. He and Hansen have been teased. I really doubt how Xiaoxia had the courage to marry him in the first place. Fortunately, Shang Ping is not like him.

Shang Ping was still buried in Edgar's arms, and it seemed that he still didn't want to speak. Edgar didn't know how long he could stay here, so he picked up Shang Ping and sat on the sofa, patting Shang Ping on the back until he calmed down. He is better at grasping Shang Ping's emotional changes than Goodwill. Since he was a child, Shang Ping will often show mature and calmness that is completely different from children of the same age. Maybe other parents will be proud of this, but Edgar is often worried. Maturity doesn't make a young child happy.

"Baby, have you calmed down yet?"

He tapped on the top of Shang Ping's head lightly, and sure enough, the red-eyed boy raised his head without tears.

"Very well, remember what uncle said, boys should not cry, even the deepest sorrow, the greatest anger, the most extreme shame, should not be expressed in tears, the best vent is blood, the blood of the enemy!"

Shang Ping rolled his eyes secretly, everyone was deceived by Uncle Edgar, he was a peace-loving soldier, and a militant at all!

"Uncle Edgar, don't you ask?"

"what?"

"ask…"

Ask him why he is here, why he is still alive, why he is with Goodwill, and whether he has betrayed Mars...

"I don't need an answer." Edgar propped up Shang Ping's shoulders, looked at the child he raised, and said gently, "I only know that you are still alive and well, that's enough."

Shang Ping looked at Edgar speechlessly, only felt warm in his heart, couldn't help leaning over, and a light kiss fell on Edgar's face. Edgar turned his head cheerfully, "Baby, come here again."

Shang Ping once again tolerated his adoptive father's willfulness, but Edgar, who got what he wanted, was a little stunned.

"Uncle Edgar, I want to ask you a question, you have to answer me seriously."

"... propose marriage?"

Snapped!

Shang Ping's rational string was broken again. He wanted to kill his father, whether it was his biological father or his adoptive father, kill them all!

"Okay, just kidding. What do you want to ask me, baby?"

"If," Shang Ping looked into Edgar's eyes and asked word by word, "If one day Mars faced the fate of being destroyed, what would you do?"

"Everyone?"

"Everyone, the entire Mars, perhaps the entire Muse galaxy."

Edgar was silent for a while, and then said: "I will die, for my planet, for the honor of the soldiers, to die in battle."

"why?"

"Protecting the people and guarding the satellite is the duty and pride of every Mars soldier."

"What if some people really deserve to die?"

"Not all Mars people deserve to die. Soldiers exist to protect these people. Soldiers are not weapons in the hands of politicians. The honor and pride of soldiers never need to be conferred by those in positions of authority."

"Knowing that you will die, will you do it?"

"Trust me, baby, you will too. Not for politicians or promotions, but for your pride, for the conscience and honor of the military."

Will he?

Shang Ping was silent, bit his lip, and finally heaved a sigh of relief. He got the expected answer and knew what to do.

Standing up and standing in front of his adoptive father like a pine tree, Shang Ping made his oath seriously: "Uncle Edgar, I will safeguard the honor of the soldier, I swear."

"Okay. Baby, don't be so serious."

Edgar gently rubbed Shang Ping's hair, Shang Ping smiled, a simple smile, like the purest dewdrop.

Goodwill has been waiting outside the door, Shang Ping's emotional changes have not escaped his eyes, but he did not ask anything, and sent Edgar back to the room in person, while Shang Ping left Saixia's ground prison and landed on the land. Get on the bus and return to the Governor's Mansion.

The land vehicle was gone, and another transport ship painted with the imperial emblem also arrived at Sai Xia. This transport ship carries a lot of power stones and other supplies. This is the energy supply ship for the two transport ships that arrived earlier. The crew members did not carry any weapons of mass destruction. After inspection, they were allowed to leave the transport ship. A blond-haired young man was among them, looking at the long-distance land vehicle with a complicated expression. The next moment, his companion grabbed his arm, the companion shook his head at him, and the blond boy pulled up the collar of his coat without speaking.

Shang Ping returned to Sai Xia's Governor's Mansion and went straight to Soran Edrich's room. The guard at the door didn't stop him, he pushed open the door, and the silver-haired emperor with one hand resting his chin was with the governor of Sai Xia, Harlan? Edrich played a game of shogi.

The silver-haired emperor raised his head, his blue eyes looked at Shang Ping standing by the door, put down the chess piece in his hand, and slowly extended his hand to Shang Ping: "Come here."

Harlan? Edrich stood up, left the unfinished game, and left the room.

"Your Majesty," Shang Ping was pulled to sit on Soran Edrich's lap, his cool fingers swept across his face, and his fingertips lightly twisted his earlobes, causing him a shudder, but it didn't affect his emotions. Voice, "I have something to ask of you."

"kindness?"

Soran Edrich clasped the back of Shang Ping's neck with interest, "Please?"

"Yes, please."

Turning his head slightly, Soran Edrich let go of Shang Ping, but Shang Ping did not stand up, but leaned closer to him, putting his hand on the emperor's shoulder, golden and silver epaulettes, gorgeous patterns, The cold stung his palm, but Shang Ping didn't care.

"Tell me, what is it?"

"Army." Shang Ping approached Soran Edrich's ear and said softly, "Give me the army, all the soldiers from Mars who arrived today."

"Is this what your father meant, or is it yours?"

"mine."

Shang Ping's voice was very calm, without a trace of uncertainty.

"Your Majesty, what my father can give you, I can too. Besides, I can give you more."

Pulling up Soran Edrich's hand, Shang Ping bit his fingertips, took off the snow-white gloves from his hand, his pink lips gently fell on the snow-white fingers, and in his brown eyes, The black pupils clearly reflected the blue eyes.

"Your Majesty, I beg you."

"...you betrayed your father?"

"No." Shang Ping shook his head, "I will fulfill his wish and kill all those who betrayed him, but not the innocent ones. I don't want his madness to destroy himself. So please give me army."

"That Major General Mars is really so important to you?"

Soran Edrich's tone still has the elegance of a royal family, and there is an unknown coldness hidden in the elegance.

"It's important, he's my adoptive father."

Shang Ping didn't realize it, he knew that his every move could not escape Solan Aidrich. For the first time, Shang Ping took the initiative to approach Solan Edrich, his lips lightly touched, and there was a simple temptation and prayer in his voice, "So, Your Majesty, you will promise me."

Solan Aidrich pulled Shang Ping away, pinched Shang Ping's chin, his thumb rubbed against his pink lips, and the other hand wrapped around Shang Ping's waist, his eyes fell on Shang Ping's face, and finally, a A light kiss fell on Shang Ping's forehead.

"I will grant your wish, my golden wagtail."

But, my golden wagtail, you too must pay, more than you can imagine and give.
