When Yan Heng woke up, his whole body was in severe pain.

The skin was slightly scratched, and two bones in the chest were probably broken.

The strong smell of blood pierced his nostrils, slowly piercing his chest like a sharp knife.

Where is he now?

It was pitch black, and the only light came from...

Yan Heng turned his head to the side, saw the terminal at hand, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The terminal is still there, which means that this is not an enemy camp.

He rubbed his temples, sat up with his body propped up, and looked at the confined space he was in with the light reflected from the screen.

The arc-shaped top surface, special operation buttons... This is the treatment cabin that is only set up in the rest room of the fleet.

As for the on-screen time - star calendar December 3016? !

Yan Heng was stunned, his mind went blank.

Damn, he actually passed through the Lanta wormhole? !

On the way back to Emperor Star three days ago, he received a distress signal from a civil aviation ship, so he went to Lanta Passage to investigate the situation, but unexpectedly, when he left, an extremely rare cosmic storm appeared in the surrounding star field. Could be torn apart by a powerful storm.

For this reason, he could only try to go around from a place that was not affected by the storm, but unexpectedly, the space turmoil sent his mech directly into the wormhole, and brought him back ten years ago.

I remember that at that time, the mecha was frequently warned by the enemy. After he cleared those obstacles, the mecha suddenly suffered a huge impact, and he lost consciousness not long after.

Who sent him here?

Time is running out now, he must figure out the situation here as soon as possible and return to the original world.

Yan Heng propped himself up against the wall and was about to go out to investigate the situation when he heard faint voices coming from outside the door.

"You found the young master?"

"I heard that the young master made a mistake and was locked up in the command room by the marshal. Only the guards know the situation."

"With the young master's ability, how could it be possible—"

"It seems to have something to do with the person the young master went to meet last night. Speaking of which, this is the first time I've seen the marshal get angry at the young master."

Ok?

Master?Are you talking about Lu Xingze?

Yan Heng was startled, and suddenly realized that at this point in time, Lu Xingze was still serving as his young master beside Marshal Lu Huan, and the entire Imperial Lion Army was under his command.

He and Lu Xingze were ten years old separately and reunited when he was 20 years old.During ten years, they never saw each other.

And now Lu Xingze is only 16 years old.What would he be like at this time...?

The unprecedented intense curiosity made Yan Heng's heart beat violently.

Just now those people said that Lu Xingze was locked up in the command room by Marshal Lu Huan, why don't you... have a look?

Now that he is in the Emperor Lion Army, his identity is fully exposed, and the mech is nowhere to be found. If he wants to return to the original world, he cannot avoid Lu Xingze no matter what.

After thinking clearly, Yan Heng opened the door and went out.

The guards inside the ship were not as strict as he had imagined, so he avoided the patrolling soldiers and found the command room with ease.

The door was closed tightly, and there were faint conversations coming from inside.

"Let me ask you again. Last night when the guards were retreating, they clashed head-on with the black mecha. Was it your decision to make your own claim?"

"Yes."

"You clearly know that you may alert the ambush set by Princess Cornell! Xingze, this should not be your mistake."

"Sorry. It was my mistake."

"I'll give you another chance. Is there anything else hidden about this time?"

"There is no secret."

"Do you recognize the owner of the mech captured last night?"

"I don't know."

long silence.

"Remember your identity, this is not an example."

Is it Marshal Lu Huan and Lu Xingze?

In Yan Heng's memory, this was the first time he saw Lu Huan get angry at Lu Xingze.He had met Lu Huan several times, and knew that although Lu Huan acted harshly, he liked Lu Xingze very much.

Listening to the conversation between the two just now, the source of the conflict seems to be related to him?

Remember when he sensed the enemy's situation when he passed through the wormhole, he was forced to open fire, which led to the conflict between the Emperor Lions and Princess Cornell's people?

Just thinking of this, the people in the command room were pushed away.

Yan Heng immediately avoided his sight and held his breath until Lu Huan's figure disappeared at the end of the passage.

Judging from Lu Huan's words, it is very likely that his mecha fell into the hands of the Emperor Lion Army, most likely in the mothership's mecha warehouse.

It seems that there is only one way to take a risk.

Yan Heng glanced at the command room for the last time, and left resolutely, but the moment he walked towards the passage, he keenly caught a trace of familiar aura.

Elegant and noble, born with a different sentiment, but also with a trace of obvious alienation, like a glacier floating on the water, hiding the unshakable power, making people submit.

This is……

At the moment when he was dazed, a huge force pulled him back.The opponent's arm rested firmly on his elbow, preventing him from moving.

Oops.

Yan Heng tried to struggle, but made his situation even more passive.

"do not move."

Hearing this voice, Yan Heng's whole body shook.

The opponent subtly pressed against his lifeline, making him unable to move, but the strength was controlled just right, and it wouldn't hurt him.

"If you keep struggling, I won't guarantee your safety anymore." The voice was frivolous and threatening, but it seemed to have some kind of magical power, which made him relax his whole body's defenses.

Feeling the loosening of the strength in his arms, the other party was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing.

"If you think that I will relax my guard because of this, I'm afraid you have miscalculated."

"I've already been arrested now, even if you really relax your guard, I can't do anything," Yan Heng said calmly, "You can rest assured."

The other party fell silent, but the strength in his hand did not loosen.

There were crackling sounds outside the porthole, and the bloody smell in the air seemed to be mixed with the smell of burning.

Is there something going on outside?

His heart was hanging in his throat, but the person behind him suddenly let go of his hands.

Yan Heng was taken aback.

The moment the opponent backed down should have been his best chance to win. Taking advantage of this opportunity to get out of the opponent's control is the subconscious instinct of every experienced soldier.

But he hesitated.

He stood where he was, didn't struggle, didn't stay away, and silently handed the other party a knife, willingly surrendering his life.

The air freezes in silence.

The person behind took a step back with a calm tone.

"I was the one who was rude just now."

There was no apology, but an obvious alienation.

"I don't think you would want to be discovered by the marshal either."

Yan Heng's lips moved slightly, and with the dim light, he saw that handsome face clearly.

The 16-year-old Lu Xingze, dressed in a black military uniform, has a tall and straight figure, a handsome profile, a maturity and stability that does not match his age, and a bottomless darkness in his eyes.

Over ten years, he and Lu Xingze met in different time and space.

Just as he was in a daze, Lu Xingze noticed that he was wearing the military uniform of the Emperor Lion Army, and his eyes darkened a little.

Yan Heng's heart sank suddenly, and beads of sweat gradually oozed from his palms.

Oops.

He almost forgot that he was still wearing the military uniform of the Emperor Lion Army, so how could Lu Xingze not be suspicious?

His mind was in a mess, he was thinking about how to compile the reason, but Lu Xingze had already used the optical brain in the command room to retrieve the recovery data of the treatment cabin.

"Recovering well."

The voice was faint, giving Yan Heng the illusion that there was a hint of concern.

"A little injury, it's okay." This was his subconscious answer.

Before this, he had thought about countless possibilities, and even thought about being taken to the interrogation room by Lu Xingze for investigation, but he never expected that Lu Xingze would bring up his injury.

Things went beyond Yan Heng's expectation.A bold guess gradually took shape in my heart.

Yan Heng tightened his fingers: "The conflict with those black mechs last night was really because of you..."

Lu Xingze didn't answer immediately, but asked him instead.

"if not?"

Yan Heng was dumbfounded.

if not?And why?

He is not related to Lu Xingze in this world, there is no reason for Lu Xingze to deceive Marshal Lu Huan in order to conceal his existence.

Leaving aside the fact that Lu Xingze never did such boring things, his appearance was so suspicious, even if Lu Xingze brought him into the interrogation room, there was nothing wrong with it.

But he let himself go.

Is it just because his firepower spread to the mechs sent by Li Qing, and helped the Emperor Lions out of the siege?

Isn't he wondering why he is wearing the military uniform of the Emperor Lions?

Lu Xingze seemed to be able to see what Yan Heng was thinking, and spoke lightly.

"I don't doubt your position, but this is my business. Even if it is failure or death, it should not be borne by you with me."

Yan Heng laughed: "Is this an order to evict me?"

Lu Xingze didn't answer, he answered irrelevantly: "I still have someone I must meet, so I won't let myself die here."

Those pitch-black pupils had extremely keen insight, as if they could see through his mind in an instant.

Yan Heng raised his eyebrows and responded with the same words.

"But I am the same. Even if you want to issue an order to expel the guests, I hope to assist the legion in the next actions."

After this sentence, Lu Xingze did not make a sound.

After a while, he chuckled: "It seems that you have made up your mind?"

"Yes."

"That's good. Princess Cornell's army will reach the planet in an hour. Please help the Emperor Lions break through the encirclement."

Lu Xingze accepted it too easily.

Intuition told Yan Heng that Lu Xingze must have his own plans.This guy has a deep mind, and he has experienced it since he was a child.

But he still chose to accept.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

When leaving, Lu Xingze stopped suddenly at the door, his back turned to Yan Heng without turning back, his back was straight and firm.

"Wait until dawn before going out," he reminded softly, "10 minutes, it won't be too long."

Yan Heng stared at him blankly, speechless.

And outside the porthole he couldn't see, countless corpses were reduced to ashes in the flames, cruel as hell.

It turns out that he still underestimated Lu Xingze.

An hour later, his mecha successfully assisted the Emperor Lions to break out of the siege, and he led the team to retreat to the planet near the Lanta Wormhole according to the order.

After confirming that the team had entered the safe range, he took the initiative to retreat to the rear, intending to determine if there were any other ambushes nearby, but the space he was in was violently turbulent.

Yan Heng's heart sank suddenly.

Was he being tricked by Lu Xingze?

The timing of the turmoil in Lanta Wormhole has a stable pattern, and Lu Xingze can completely predict it.And during this period, he couldn't evacuate, as long as the bet was right that he would take the initiative to stay, then he had to return to the original world on time.

Vaguely, he seemed to hear Lu Xingze's voice, like a sigh.

"I believe you."

"I will protect him in this world."

"I also ask you to always believe in him and love him deeply in your own world."

The flames obscured his sight, and the silver mecha moved in a completely different direction, leaving him forever.

At the moment when time and space intersected, countless strange memories shattered in his mind and turned into incomplete images.

He saw 16-year-old Lu Xingze pick up his sun pendant in the cockpit, and finally put it back into his military uniform pocket silently.

He also saw the 14-year-old Lu Xingze, bearing the unimaginable strict requirements of his peers, locking himself in a closed room and training himself day after day.

——"Only when you can take back everything that is equivalent to your identity, are you qualified to protect a certain person."

Marshal Lu Huan said so.

And in the corner of Dixing where the sun shines, the other children are growing carefree.

And when he was 12 years old... Lu Xingze concealed the secret of his damaged mental power, left without saying goodbye on his birthday, but followed him secretly, running all over the long street of Dixing.

Time passed silently in front of him.

After many years, when everything was irretrievable, he realized what he had missed.

In the long and lonely teenage years, if there was a chance to be each other's comfort and grow up with each other, then all the shortcomings and pains may not have to be experienced.

Vaguely, he seemed to see the lead that Lu Xingze gave him again, crossing the vast sea of ​​stars a few years later, firmly linking their fate together.

With a "bang", the pupils were filled with firelight, the lead wire was mercilessly disconnected, and all the blurred images were shattered and disappeared into the depths of consciousness.

The sound of the machine drummed the eardrums like a bass violin, and the smell of injection medicine diffused in the nasal cavity.

This is the real and clear world.

Yan Heng sat up abruptly, panting heavily.His back was drenched with sweat, his heart was beating violently, and the blood almost burst out of his chest.

"Are you awake?" Jiang Huai turned off the treatment equipment and poured him a glass of water, "You were unconscious for seven hours."

Yan Heng's heart sank suddenly, he stared blankly at the glass of water, speechless.

The amber eyes seemed to reflect the incomplete influence, but the familiar decorations around him pulled him back to reality.

Are you back?

He closed his eyes, opened them again after a long time, took the water glass, and asked in a low voice, "Where are we now?"

"Fly to Emperor Star's civil aviation ship today."

Yan Heng didn't make a sound, and turned his head to look out of the porthole, thoughtful.

The flowing nebula is magnificent and spectacular.

No one knows what happened here ten years ago.His brief encounter with Lu Xingze was like a secret hidden in the depths of the universe, which he couldn't tell anyone about.

Jiang Huai frowned: "You are too risky. If His Highness is here today..."

Yan Heng withdrew his gaze, rubbed his temples, and interrupted him: "At least it succeeded, didn't it? It's meaningless to talk about it now."

Jiang Huai lowered his eyes and said nothing.He knew that Yan Heng was hinting at him, don't tell Lu Xingze.

After a while, he spoke again: "His Royal Highness, forgive me for offending you. If you tried to deceive His Highness because he was young at the time, you would be underestimating him."

"...You know." Yan Heng coughed awkwardly.It's embarrassing to be exposed in person.

At that time, he really thought about taking advantage of his seniority to fool Lu Xingze.Who knew, but Lu Xingze plotted against him.

"I know," Jiang Huai nodded, "I know you want to help His Highness, and I know that His Highness will send you back soon."

Yan Heng was stunned.How could Jianghuai know?Could it be that……

Before he could ask, Jiang Huai had already confessed: "Actually, I was with His Highness that time."

After the conjecture was confirmed, Yan Heng's heart beat violently, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly: "Then... what happened to you guys?"

Jiang Huai answered irrelevantly: "If His Highness stood here, he would definitely not allow me to tell the truth."

Yan Heng was not afraid of him: "Then you must also know that even if you don't tell me, I will definitely find a way to reveal the truth after I go back."

Jianghuai was silent for a moment: "Did you know that the Lanta wormhole was shifting at that time?"

A coolness climbed up Yan Heng's back.

Lu Xingze let him go because of this?

If something unpredictable happens after Lanta's wormhole shifts, he may never be able to return to the original world.Therefore, even though Lu Xingze knew that he was capable of assisting the legion, he still issued an order to expel him.

Since his birth, Lu Xingze has never escaped the responsibilities brought by his identity. He put the safety of the empire before his life, but at a certain moment when he was 16 years old, he reserved his selfishness for himself.

"After that incident, His Highness was seriously injured, and was in a coma for half a month due to excessive blood loss."

"That was the most difficult time in His Highness's life, and he must have never told you about it."

Yan Heng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and unconsciously clenched the water glass in his hand: "When did you meet Lu Xingze?"

Jiang Huai was slightly startled, subconsciously looked at Yan Heng, and answered after a while: "Your Highness was 12 years old."

Not "when I was 12", but "when Your Highness was 12".

He had a delicate mind, knowing that Yan Heng would ask this question, what he wanted to know was Lu Xingze's past.

"It's early." Yan Heng said softly, without any emotion in his tone.

Jiang Huai laughed: "Isn't Her Royal Highness jealous of me?"

"No." Yan Heng smiled, at this moment he was relieved.

He just felt lucky that there were people by Lu Xingze's side when Lu Xingze couldn't see the light of his youth.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered himself when he was 16 years old.

When Lu Xingze faced the treacherous plots of the royal family alone, what was he doing?

He thinks he has been well protected since he was a child.But how much of this is due to Lu Xingze?

Yan Heng picked up the water glass and took a sip, his gaze inadvertently scanned the real-time data about the flight on the screen, and his movements stopped suddenly.

"The starship is back on track?"

"Yes, it is estimated that in two hours, it will reach the sky above the Emperor Star."

Yan Heng was silent for a while, not knowing what he was thinking.

A few minutes later, he said: "Jianghuai, please report all the situation to the military department truthfully."

After a pause, he said again: "In addition, notify the star port in advance to temporarily open an area for our starship to land."

Jiang Huai asked with a smile: "Major Yan is not afraid of His Highness worrying now?"

Yan Heng leaned his back against the head of the bed.

"After all, I'm still rushing back to Dixing to get married, and I don't want to delay even a minute."

The author has something to say: he never believes that all time and space will have the same ending, but he just doesn't want the other self to lose you.

So even if you are not his lover, he will still protect you without hesitation.
