above the galaxy

Chapter 382 It’s not serious!

Zhong Tianque stood in front of his father like a defeated general.

No, he was a deserter from the battlefield.

He did escape back.

Because it was not a battle in the conventional sense, it was a fight to the death, a fight in which both of us would perish.

He couldn't understand who had such a deep hatred for him.

Which force would keep so many assassins?
Zhong Tianque didn't want to escape because he knew what it meant to abandon his comrades and run away.

What's more, now is a critical period for him. If he escapes at this time, then in the eyes of the royal family and all the civil and military officials in the court, the eldest prince will become an untrustworthy man.

This is not conducive to one's advancement.

However, when those pirate ships rushed towards the Vulcan's artillery fire like crazy, he was afraid. He was afraid that he would really die in the vast and lonely starry sky.

Therefore, under the death admonition of Qian Taian and the captain of the Vulcan, Zhong Changming, he was forced to leave the battle sea.
"Tell me, what happened?" Zhong Daolong had just had a nap and seemed to be in good spirits.

He picked up the bottle on the table, poured himself a glass of whiskey, and shook it gently in his hand.

"We were attacked on the way back. The pirates rushed towards us desperately. They didn't want money, but our lives. They wanted to kill me and die with us."

Zhong Tianque stood straight with his back straight and looked at his father with honest and fearless eyes, trying hard to make all his choices reasonable and wise.

"So, no fight?"

"."

"Abandoned his brother and ran away?"

"."

"Do you know what this means?"

"."

Zhong Tianque certainly knew what this meant, but he didn't dare to say the answer.

"It means you're a deserter. It means I can shoot you and have your head chopped off."

Snapped!
In anger, Zhong Daolong smashed the wine glass that he had just filled with wine on Zhong Tianque's head.

The wine glass fell on the thick deer-hair carpet but did not break.

However, the golden wine in the cup splashed onto Zhong Tianque's face, body and the fluffy carpet.

The edge of the cup cut a gash on Zhong Tianque's forehead, and bright red blood flowed out of the gash.

However, Zhong Tianque turned a deaf ear and did not even wipe it with his hand.

He just stood there stiffly and let the blood flow freely. His square face, which always gave people an impression of determination and reliability, became ugly and hideous.

"Your Majesty, it was us who took His Royal Highness the Prince away. No matter how wrong we are, it's all our fault." Zhong Changming said.

Because he was the captain of the Vulcan and the person in charge of security for the prince's tour, he was also pulled to the meeting to be "questioned."

Seeing the eldest prince Zhong Tianque’s head broken and bleeding, he knew that he had to stand up and speak out at this time.

A subordinate who cannot take the blame for his boss is not a good subordinate.
As expected, Zhong Daolong's gaze shifted to Zhong Changming's face. His face was gloomy and his eyes were fierce. He asked, "You took him away?"

Zhong Changming was very panicked, as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast.

But he knew he couldn't panic yet, so he forced himself to stay calm, straightened his spine, and said through gritted teeth, "Yes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Your Highness is of noble status. If anything happens to him, it will be detrimental to the country and the people."

"So, I took it upon myself to forcibly take the prince away from the battlefield when his royal highness insisted on not leaving." "The commander abandoned his soldiers and fled first. Do you know what crime this is?" Zhong Daolong asked.

His voice was emotionless, but it made people tremble with fear.

"Please punish me, my lord." Zhong Changming bowed and apologized.

"Someone, take off Zhong Changming's shoulder straps for me. You can quit your job as captain of the Vulcan and wait for your trial by the Military Commission."

"Yes." Zhong Changming raised his hand and saluted.

Two men in black came forward, took off the general badge on Zhong Changming's shoulder, and then led him out of the conference hall.

Seeing Zhong Changming being dismissed by Zhaixing, Zhong Tianque secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Our side suffered heavy losses in this military conflict, and someone must stand up and take responsibility.

Now that Zhong Changming has taken the initiative to step forward and take all the blame, then Prince Zhong Tianque, who was "forced" to leave, is safe.

He didn't want to leave either.
He was also helpless. What had he done wrong?

Who among those who can sit in the meeting is not a smart person?
They naturally understood the deep meaning behind the king's actions, which was to preserve Zhong Tianque's reputation and ensure that his ascension to the throne would not be disturbed by anything.

He wanted to let the people of the Phoenix Empire know that their future ruler would be strong, wise, responsible and have a sense of mission.

Zhong Changming was taken away, and the tone of this incident was set.

Zhong Daolong took the wine glass that Chen Fenglei handed over again, looked at the members of the Military Commission present, and said, "Tell me, who did this? What is their purpose? When did the pirate ship dare to confront the Royal Fleet head-on?"
-
Imperial Maritime Hospital. High-class VIP ward.

"Are you really okay?" Sheng Xinhuai looked at Tang Fei's body and asked worriedly.

"Alright." Tang Fei clenched his fist and said, "I can kill a cow with one punch now."

"Why do I look a little weak?" Sheng Xinhuai blinked.

"You don't believe me, and you don't believe science?" Tang Fei said unhappily, "Doctor Qin just gave me a comprehensive physical examination. My functional index is very healthy now. Otherwise, Doctor Qin would not allow me to leave the hospital."

"Okay." Sheng Xinhuai stretched and said, "Now that you're fine, I can report to Fenghuang. I haven't been to school for several days to take care of you. My students must miss me."

"Thank you." Tang Fei looked into Sheng Xinhuai's eyes and said seriously.

During the time he was in the hospital, Sheng Xinhuai's mother was really busy.

They cooked soup and porridge, and from time to time they brought some fresh things to Tang Fei to nourish his body.

Sheng Xinhuai had not been to school these days, and had been accompanying Tang Fei, feeding him soup and helping him pee.
That was when he was first sent in and his body was extremely weak. Later, Tang Fei started to provide himself with food and clothing.

Tang Fei was grateful to Sheng Xinhuai and her mother from the bottom of his heart.

"Oh my, are we starting to get sentimental?" Sheng Xinhuai obviously didn't like this kind of atmosphere and said jokingly.

"If you don't like to listen, forget it." Tang Fei said.

"I really don't like to hear it. Feelings are not expressed in words, but in actions."

“???” Tang Fei thought she was abnormal.

It is not normal.
This sentence.

Sheng Xinhuai waved his hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you home."

Sheng Xinhuai sent Tang Fei to the gate of the courtyard and drove away directly.

Tang Fei closed the gate and was about to enter the house when he suddenly stared at the door with a sharp look and shouted, "Who?"
