I, from 1000 years ago

Chapter 152

After the awarding ceremony of the marshal staff, Lin Jian, dressed in a military uniform decorated with red ribbons, stepped on the red carpet leading to the throne.Emperor Eiffel I has stood up from the throne, and the new court affairs officer next to him personally carries the tray covered with golden velvet.And placed in the gorgeous box opened on the golden velvet is a golden rose star sword medal that symbolizes the highest honor of the imperial army.

The double swords overlap in the sea of ​​stars, and on the top is a blooming rose, which symbolizes the great contribution made to defend the empire standing in the sea of ​​stars.

From where Lin Jian stood to the throne, the distance was only more than [-] meters.

The salute was fired, walking on the red carpet, feeling the admiration from the eyes of the highest imperial officials on both sides of the red carpet.This is an honor that civilian officials will never get, it only belongs to military officers, and it only belongs to those imperial soldiers who advance and defeat the enemy amidst the splendid artillery fire.

Only two steps away from the throne, Lin Jian stopped, knelt on one knee and lowered her head.

"Qing has made illustrious military exploits for the empire. Today, Qing is bestowed with the Golden Rose Star Sword Medal, the highest honor for soldiers of the empire. The empire will remember your meritorious deeds, and the light of reputation will bloom for you." An immature but quite calm voice sounded from above his head, Lin Jian lifted At the beginning, the expression was respectful but a little cold.

"The meritorious service of the minister is bestowed by His Majesty."

The child's slender palm put the heavy medal on Lin Jian's chest. Under the brilliant light of Aschet's star, the golden medal reflected dazzling brilliance.Lin Jian looked at the child who was also wearing a military uniform in front of him. Such a young child would be the emperor of the Galactic Empire that ruled over 200 billion people.

After the entire coronation and award ceremony, nearly four hours have passed.Then came the lengthy salute ceremony of the new officials to the emperor.This ceremony was held in the study of the emperor's office. It was nothing more than an official's expression that he would work hard, and the emperor expressed his verbal reward for his diligence.

After this link, there will be a grand palace banquet, and at this time the sky is already full of stars.

A day's fatigue made Lin Jian feel that her unhealed wound was aching again. After greeting Lin Mo, she left the court ahead of time before the banquet officially started.

The internal affairs welcome car sent her to the gate of the palace, watching the fireworks lit up in the sky, and the citizens celebrating in the distance.Lin Jian sighed, and turned on the communicator, and Chen Jinglan's image immediately appeared on the screen, perhaps seeing the quiet environment behind Lin Jian, Chen Jinglan was a little surprised: "The banquet is over so early?"

Chen Jinglan's environment was in stark contrast to Lin Jian's. The young high-ranking officials of the new Eighth Fleet of the Empire, except Commander Lin Jian, were having a big party at this time.On the screen of the communicator, Lin Jian could even see Brandt flirting with a girl.

"I don't like that atmosphere. It seems that you are not suitable for driving now. I'll ask the housekeeper to pick me up." Seeing Chen Jinglan holding a wine bottle in one hand, Lin Jian smiled, Some said helplessly. "Go ahead, don't be spoiled by me."

"It doesn't matter if I leave for a while. Wait for me there for a while, and I'll be right there."

"Hey..." Before Lin Jian could refute, Chen Jinglan had already turned off the communicator, which made her smile bitterly. She didn't mean the party, but that the other party should not drive after drinking.However, it seems that Chen Jinglan is completely unaware of this matter.

The night wind has already brought a warm feeling, and the late spring is about to pass, and even the uninhabited polar regions of Aschet Star have begun to melt the ice.This moisture-laden air is brought from there by the monsoons.Under a carved street lamp in the square outside the palace, Lin Jian looked up at the sky, the Milky Way revealed when the fireworks stopped.

Less than ten minutes later, Lin Jian received a message from Chen Jinglan, and the indicator light of the speeding car could already be seen in the distant sky.Lin Jian was about to walk towards the parking lot, but was blocked.Several medium-sized air vehicles stopped not far away, and the inner door of the palace opened again.The brigade of guards with live ammunition ran out of the palace neatly, and formed a long line on the road between the inner gate and the flying car.The crisp sound of military boots stepping neatly on the square echoed in the originally quiet night, blocking Lin Jian's route to the opposite parking lot.

"Who is it? An important task is being carried out now, and the idlers leave quickly." A young captain found Lin Jian who had left by the street lamp at this time, and nervously picked up the particle beam gun and loudly reprimanded him.

The light was turned on, a bit harsh, reflecting Lin Jian's frowning brows, and also illuminating the epaulettes of her military uniform.A golden curved sword shining brightly on the epaulets marked her military rank.

"Crack!" The first subconscious reaction of the Guards soldiers seeing the epaulettes was to stand at attention and salute.

"Your Excellency, Major General!" The captain, who had spoken rudely before, was obviously a little dumbfounded at this time, he had no idea that a person standing in the shadow not far away would be a major general.You know, at this time their top boss, the chief of the Guards Army, is only a major general.

Lin Jian raised his hand to return the salute, and casually asked the captain, "What are you doing?"

"The prisoner in the court will be escorted to the space port tonight, Your Excellency." After the captain replied, he immediately reported to his superiors that their team stopped a general, should he let him pass first?

Prisoners held in the palace?Lin Jian knew who the prisoner the captain was talking about almost immediately.Through the ranks of the guards, she looked at the inner gate of the palace, and her originally plain face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice.A black light armored land vehicle drove out from the inner gate of the palace and stopped.Major General Hathaway von Brandino, Director of the Guards, stepped out of the car.

Did the chief of the Guards personally escort him?Lin Jian clenched his fists by his side, still watching with an indifferent expression.

The young captain ran to the Guards Director and reported Lin Jian in a low voice. After hearing the subordinate's report, Hathaway looked in Lin Jian's direction.After seeing that it was Lin Jian who was blocking the way, she explained a few words to her subordinates in a low voice, and then walked towards Lin Jian.

"Did you not attend the dinner party?" Hathaway asked with a smile on her face.

"I'm a little tired, so I'm planning to go home. Major General Brandino is still working so late, it's really hard." Although he was not in a good mood, the other party greeted him with a smile, and Lin Jian held back his temper and exchanged some pleasantries.

"It's just your duty, please be polite." Hathaway replied equally politely. Although she had a pretty good relationship with her father and Lin Mo, for some reason, she always felt close to the young duchess in front of her. feeling up.It was as if she had an aura of repelling others thousands of miles away.During the battle, maybe it was because everyone was fighting side by side. At that time, the relationship was relatively relaxed, but since returning to the capital planet, the duchess has become more and more indifferent.

When her pair of black eyes as deep as airspace are firmly fixed on a person, it will make people feel as if they are about to be swallowed.The battle of Sina Delana really changed her a lot. The blood of tens of thousands of people was stained on her hands. The blood changed her temperament and strengthened her heart at the same time.

Serena von der Bossian, who was wearing a prison uniform, stepped off the light armored vehicle. Hathaway saw Lin Jian's black pupils shrink sharply.

As if feeling the other party's gaze, Lin Jian turned to look at Hathaway beside her.Seeing the unnaturalness of the other party, Lin Jian smiled a little: "Can you tell me the number of the ship that escorted her?"

Hathaway was surprised by Lin Jian's question, she vaguely knew about Lin Jian's relationship with the princess' fiancé who had committed suicide.Is it because of this relationship that Lin Jian wants to do something to her?Seeing Lin Jian's gaze, Hathaway felt a chill run down her back. After thinking for ten seconds, she answered decisively in a low voice: "The Southern Cross."

"Thank you." Lin Jian nodded, and turned to look at the parking lot in the distance. Chen Jinglan sent a message that the speeding car had parked in the parking lot.However, before leaving, Lin Jian added another sentence: "I owe you a favor."

"Where, Hathaway dare not forget the grace of your Excellency for saving my father."

Lin Jian suddenly realized that this was the reason, so she nodded, "Then we're even."

The guards standing in front of Lin Jian gave up their positions because of Hathaway's order. Lin Jian nodded at Hathaway and stepped in first.

Maybe the God of Destiny wanted the two to confront each other on purpose. When Lin Jian stepped into the gap made by the guards, Serena, who had already passed that position, suddenly looked back.After seeing Lin Jian not far away, the woman who was originally as silent as a dead sea suddenly trembled all over.She frantically wanted to get out of the restraint of the guards, and her long golden hair fluttered wildly in the dark night.

"Why are you still living in this world! It's you, not him, who should be damned!"

Seeing her crazy behavior, Lin Jian didn't answer, but continued to walk forward step by step. She pursed her lower lip, her expression was not very good, and she looked even more indifferent.But looking at Lin Jian's indifferent expression, the ex-duchess who was originally crazy now had a triumphant smile on her face.

"I know, you are jealous of me, because Zisia chose to be with me in the end. So you want him to die, do you think you will get it like this?"

The surroundings were quiet, the princess's elegance and beauty had long since left her, and only her hysterical shouts floated in the quiet night.The guards looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to make a sound, so they had to grab the crazy former princess vigorously.

From Lin Jian's point of view, at this time, she just wanted to catch the flame of hatred, so that she could maintain the energy to survive, so that she would not be completely defeated by Qisia's death.

The ex-princess struggling desperately was held down by the guards and pressed her shoulders to the ground, but she still refused to calm down, holding her head up desperately, watching Lin Jian approaching her step by step with resentful eyes.

Her eyes were burning with hatred, but Lin Jian remained expressionless, and only glanced at her indifferently when passing by her.

"How can a hard-won life be used to compete with you and be jealous?"

You don't need to be serious, and you don't need to be harsh, but an understatement is like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the fire in the princess's eyes.She widened her eyes for a moment, and trembled violently again, as if the flames were burning all over her body, but after reaching the peak, it was quickly extinguished, everything was reduced to ashes, and only a half-star spark remained in her body. in.

"Why... You clearly know that he loves you all the time, why must you let him die."

The night was silent, and even the noise in the distance could not reach here.No one answered her muttering, only the crisp footsteps of military boots on the stone road left by Lin Jian when Lin Jian left, mercilessly crushing the last spark in her heart.
