Lord of Nine Stars

Wan'an Pass - Inside the Central Office Building.

In front of an office door, Shi Longcheng's slightly excited voice came: "Report, Xu Hun is coming!"

"Click."

The door opened. He Siling opened it and saw a family of three standing at the door.

There was a slight smile on He Siling's face. It was more like meeting an old friend than meeting his subordinates: "General Xu Hun, you are well."

As soon as Xu Fenghua made a move to raise his hand, He Siling pressed his arm down with a hand: "Come in."

Xu Fenghua nodded with a smile and stepped in. Behind him, two little guys also followed.

For Xu Fenghua, no one can give him too much respect.

As Shi Longcheng closed the door and left the new guard Gan Lin outside, He Siling held Xu Fenghua's hand under the watchful eyes of Rong Taotao and Gao Lingwei.

He Siling's handshake was strong and his tone was solemn: "Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Fenghua, after so many years."

"The responsibility lies." Xu Fenghua responded lightly, integrating his nearly twenty years of hard work into four words.

Xu Fenghua had no objection to Commander He meeting him in this manner.

It can be seen that the personal relationship between the two is good. How could the comradeship of the older generation disappear in the long years?

If it was really in private, Xu Fenghua wouldn't mind calling He Siling "Wenhan".

But with the two little guys behind him, Xu Fenghua still planned to act like a leader.

"Sit down." He Siling motioned to the sofa beside him and reached out to Gao Lingwei, "Thank you, Ling Wei."

Gao Lingwei hurriedly stretched out her hand and imitated General Xu Hun's response, saying sonorously and forcefully: "That's where the responsibility lies."

And when He Siling handed his hand to Rong Taotao, Rong Taotao showed a bright smile on his face and said repeatedly: "It should be, it should be."

"Haha." He Siling smiled and nodded. He knew Rong Taotao's character, and he also knew that he had to pretend to be serious when they met several times before, and it was really hard for him to endure it.

For this child who has opened a new chapter in the snow world, He Siling not only has admiration in his eyes, but also has sincere admiration.

It would be nice to be lively, just what he should look like at his age.

As everyone sat down, old and new guards An Ling and Shi Longcheng opened the door and left after watching tea. He Siling was the first to speak: "I already know about the Second Empire's request for support and cooperation. You seem to be very interested in Xu Taiping." trust."

"Yes." Gao Lingwei stood up and nodded in response.

"Sit down and talk."

Gao Lingwei hesitated for a moment, then sat down: "Xu Taiping's goal has not changed from the beginning to the end, and he has always been on the road to building the ideal country in his heart.

The blueprint he drew also coincides with our army's long-term plan.

I have temporarily ordered the First Empire to conduct preliminary negotiations with them. The specific extent of cooperation and in what aspects still need to be decided by the leader. "

"Xueran Army will give specific plans for cooperation matters and procedures. After all, you are the frontline commanders. If you review Xu Taiping's qualifications, then this plan will be launched in the near future."

With that said, He Siling looked at Rong Taotao with interest: "I heard that Xu Taiping wants to be your spokesperson in the Soul Beast Empire?"

Rong Taotao: "Yes, his posture is very low."

He Siling smiled: "Professor Rong, have you ever thought that it is the racial characteristics of the Binghunyin clan that are causing trouble?"

Rong Taotao's eyes suddenly widened:? ? ?

Rong Taotao was not surprised by He Siling's private joke. The problem was the racial characteristics He Siling mentioned.

seriously?

Did I inadvertently conquer Little Apple?

Good guy~

I've accomplished the things that Frost Beauty and Shengshi didn't accomplish?

How about we say that we are beautiful people~ What do we mean by beauty is a disaster?

"Hey!" Rong Taotao patted his thigh in annoyance, feeling very regretful, "I really invited him to be my soul pet!

Thinking about it now, the boy's reaction at that time seemed to be really pretending and being tough? "

"Don't worry, I'll have a chance to verify it later." He Siling put down Rong Taotao and looked at Xu Fenghua in a blink of an eye, "Fenghua, the Xueran Army is going to hold a commendation meeting for you and the representatives of the expeditionary force."

Xu Fenghua shook his head: "The Snow Burning Army is in a critical period of developing the whirlpool. The time is tight and the tasks are heavy, so there is no need to hold it for me."

Hearing this, Rong Taotao was really shocked!

This was the first time he saw someone dare to refuse He Si Ling!

Of course, since He Siling got along with Xu Fenghua as an old friend, what he said was not an order from a superior, but a discussion and conversation between friends.

What made Rong Taotao even more confused was that He Siling actually nodded: "Okay, fully respect personal wishes.

But let me make it clear in advance that I will allow you to rest for a few days, but you must attend the conference held in the Imperial City in early October. "

Before Xu Fenghua could speak, He Siling added: "Rong Taotao and Gao Lingwei are also on the commendation list.

Taotao traveled back and forth between Starfield and Snow Realm, solved the dragon groups on both sides, and obtained star fragments and a Dark Abyss Dragon for the Chinese Army, which greatly improved our deterrence and competitiveness.

He also cooperated with Ling Wei and jointly led the new expeditionary army. Together with the soldiers, he completely changed the living conditions in the northern snowy environment and brought a planet to be developed to China.

Such epoch-making military exploits must be personally commended by the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. "

Hearing this, Xu Fenghua looked at the pair of children on the couch beside her. Her heart was full of pride, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise: "It's my pleasure."

Rong Taotao was also delighted. What did he hear?

The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces is going to personally award me with potential points, er, merit medals?

This life is complete!

Xu Fenghua: "Wenhan."

He Siling was stunned for a moment. Apparently, he hadn't heard such a title for some time.

Xu Fenghua also realized that he had made a mistake, but since he said it, he said it.

Of course she didn't mean to call him this, but from the perspective of being an elder, she spoke like this subconsciously, treating her former comrades as Rong Taotao's uncle.

Xu Fenghua: "You know, when Taotao brought me back, I apologized to him for not being able to accompany him to grow up.

Guess what he answered me? "

He Si Ling was filled with emotion and his smile was a little complicated: "What did he say?"

Xu Fenghua turned to look at He Siling: "Fortunately, I still have a long life."

He Siling nodded thoughtfully: "In two months' time, you will indeed have to accompany him to the Imperial City to witness his most glorious moment."

"Um."

"You are right, the Snow-burning Army has its heaviest task at this time, so the commendation meeting should be postponed. However, as for the testimony, I can let you participate in advance." He Siling shouted to the door, "Dragon City. "

Rong Taotao's heart moved. Such a scene was so familiar to him!

Sure enough, at He Siling's request, Shi Longcheng went straight to the inner room lounge, and when he came out again, he brought back two small red square boxes and two certificates.

The difference from before is that there is an oil paper bag under the certificate, which should contain some documents.

Rong Taotao was overjoyed!

Need to ask? This is of course the medal of merit that He Siling mentioned last time, opening the snow vortex road and establishing the first empire!

As for Rong Taotao and Gao Lingwei's overall mission performance and their unparalleled achievements, I am afraid that they can no longer commend them within the Xue Ran Army. They can only wait for their meeting in the Imperial City in two months.

"Obtained the Snow Burning Army's first-class Astrolabe Snowflake Medal, with a potential value of +10."

Seeing Rong Taotao's happy look, Xu Fenghua had to admit that she really enjoyed this moment.

He Si Ling: "I wanted to confer honors and promotions at the conference. In this case, I will announce it on behalf of the Xue Ran Army. After internal discussions and decisions of the Xue Ran Army, Comrade Rong Taotao and Comrade Gao Lingwei have been promoted to the rank of senior colonel."

Rong Taotao and Gao Lingwei, who had stood up early, could no longer straighten their backs, so they could only salute.

Although they are said to be in a major university, in fact Rong Taotao and Gao Lingwei were only limited by their age and were previously troubled by their status as ungraduated students.

The positions they held within the Snow Expeditionary Force made them worthy of the rank of senior colonel.

It can be seen that He Siling has given full care to Xu Fenghua, who has returned after 20 years, both in public and private matters.

He Siling also believed that the two children would not feel that the situation was small or aggrieved.

After all, in the snowy northern region where wars are raging, the promotions and honors of soldiers are mostly not carried out in serious conferences.

In a word: no time!

The Snow Burning Army is always on the road to fighting. If anything happens, we can wait until the mission is completed!

As for your question, when will the task be completed?

There is no time to finish! Because there is always the next task waiting for you.

Later, He Siling changed the topic: "However, the Snow Realm Expeditionary Force is also going to die. This combined army has completed its mission. You two resume your original duties in the Qingshan Army."

The Snow Expeditionary Force, a designation that was forcibly given in the "First Battle of the Empire", is finally being put into storage and withdrawing from the stage of history.

This unit number is really like the fireworks in Songbai Town.

Although it is short-lived, it is dazzling enough!

Rong Taotao suddenly said: "Report."

"explain."

Rong Taotao: "Chief, I also have something for you."

"Oh?" He Siling was a little surprised.

Rong Taotao is rooted in the deepest part of the whirlpool and fighting at the forefront. No matter what rare treasures this kid brings out, He Siling will not be surprised.

However, He Siling was not very satisfied with Rong Taotao's gift-giving behavior. But he still endured his temper and watched Rong Taotao take out a tips bag from his pocket.

He Siling reached out to take it, opened the brocade bag, and took out a coin from it.

A coin with writing on the front and no flowers on the back, with only one side polished.

He Siling's palms froze slightly, but his face remained calm as he raised his eyes to look at Rong Taotao.

Rong Taotao said: "He Si Ling, I want to tell you the process of conquering the whirlpool from another angle."

He Siling put the brochure bag and coins on the coffee table, and there was no emotion in his voice: "Tell me."

Rong Taotao: "The first time I met He Tianwen was at the Martyrs Cemetery in Sanguan."

He Si Ling: "Is this related to the battle against the Snow Vortex?"

"Yes, it's very related." Rong Taotao said. Xu Fenghua's existence gave Rong Taotao endless confidence, and he also knew in his heart that He Siling should be willing to listen to such a story.

Rong Taotao continued: "At that time, He Tianwen pointed at the tombstones and told me: Don't ask who the tombstones are for, they are all erected for me."

Xu Fenghua raised his eyebrows slightly, and seemed to be interested after hearing such words.

Rong Taotao paused and organized his words: "I didn't quite understand his beliefs at that time.

When I met him again later, he gave me such a special coin.

There are words on the front, hero, here I come.

If the back is smoothed, the wicked will be punished. "

Rong Taotao: "It was He Tianwen who used special means to support Xu Taiping.

It was he who joined forces with Xu Taiping to control the elite soul beast army, and was able to feel at ease with the development of Longbei and no longer conflict with the human Xueran military.

You and General Xu Hun both know what happened next. He and his army were released and sent into the snow vortex. If we hadn't accelerated the pace of our conquest, he and Xu Taiping would have been the first stronghold of the human race.

Facts have proved that He Tianwen has indeed cultivated a qualified Soul Beast Emperor, a collaborator and even a spokesperson of the Xueran Army in the Soul Beast Empire. "

Looking at He Siling who was thoughtful, Rong Taotao continued: "When our expeditionary force traveled to and from the First and Second Empires, and determined to capture the First Empire and eliminate the tyranny of the soul beasts, He Tianwen showed great role.

Without him, our force would likely have been destroyed.

The siege of the snow forest was the first battle between us and the imperial forces. It was under the guidance of He Tianwen that Gao Lingwei built fortifications overnight, set up empty camps, killed the imperial army of ten thousand people, and saved the Xue Ran Army. The fire deep in the vortex. "

Rong Taotao pursed his lips and continued: "When we decided to sneak into the empire and conquer the emperor's brocade, in order to increase the success rate, He Tianwen took the initiative to present the lotus to me without any hesitation.

In the subsequent Battle of Longlian, the Battle of Empire, and the Dragon Skull Crushing Plan, He Tianwen participated in all of them and made outstanding contributions.

This is a man whose words and deeds are consistent. From beginning to end, his goals are clear and his beliefs are firm. "

He Siling suddenly said: "Okay, no need to say anything else."

Rong Taotao rarely disobeyed orders and said softly: "I wanted to bring him back this time, but he disappeared quietly. Merits and faults cannot be offset, and I am not trying to explain anything.

I am just evaluating him objectively. This is a soldier who made mistakes and a true hero. "

"Ha." He Siling chuckled, noncommittal.

Rong Taotao wanted to say something else, but Xu Fenghua narrowed his eyes slightly, showing restraint.

Rong Taotao shut up immediately, but did not dare to sit down again.

He Siling spoke again, but he changed the topic directly: "The Snow Dragon Clan broke into the Arctic Circle - Severnaya Islands area, which is the territory of the Russian Federation.

We have negotiated with the Russian Federation a long time ago, but so far there has been no result. As for whether the Russian side ultimately needs our help, the decision lies with them.

On the contrary, the Northwest Molten Yao Army took the initiative to contact us and inquired about the mission itinerary of Taotao and Dark Abyss Dragon. I would like to inform you in advance, Taotao, be prepared. "

For a moment, Rong Taotao didn't react!

Northwest Melting Yao Army?

He Si Ling: "Well, you have been fighting in the north and south for so long, and the execution of the Xueran Army's mission in the vortex has been on track. I grant you a few days of leave, so you can have a good rest."

Xu Fenghua stood up and said softly: "Then let's leave first, chief."

"Um."

Until the family of three left and the door was closed.

He Siling lowered his eyes and looked at the coins on the coffee table. Coincidentally, he happened to be looking at the smoothed back side.

There was silence in the room, and the figure on the sofa was like a sculpture, motionless.

He Siling, who can freely switch between kindness and majesty, at this moment, is more like an old father with a complicated mentality.

pride? Blame? Recognition? negative?

No matter what the emotion is, no one knows.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sculpture suddenly moved. He reached out his palm and silently picked up this special coin, muttering to himself:

"Heroes who make mistakes."
