Chapter 287

It was almost dusk, and when Lin Mo rushed to the small church near Sergeant Azuturan with all the dust all over his body, the bell rang on the hour.He just walked towards the bell, and the bell sounded like a countdown to the verdict.Not only for Lin Jian, but also for Lin Mo.

The fresh grass on the lawn is very soft, and these seemingly delicate but strong beings are absorbing the last energy of the starlight.Lin Mo walked on it, feeling the softness from the soles of his feet, and slowly walked towards the person not far away.

She was sitting on a bench, wearing a beige dress. The orange star light gave her bare shoulders a soft glow, and at the same time made her collarbone stand out, making her look even thinner.Her black shoulder-length hair was braided and coiled behind her head, exposing her smooth forehead and entire face. Looking from a distance, she still looked like a girl.After taking off her military uniform, she lost the sharpness of her sharpness.

At this moment, she was staring at the wine glass in her hand, sitting there quietly, like a beautifully carved statue.It seems to be a little lost, and it seems to be dejected.Lin Mo stopped involuntarily. He watched carefully. He couldn't imagine that such a demure woman was the one who set off a storm in Capital Star at this time.

The trance was obviously accidental, she was vigilant, feeling the gaze not far away, she raised her head and pointed her gaze at the correct direction.

Lin Mo packed up his mood and strode towards her.

He had obviously just stepped off the flagship, and he was still wearing a meticulous military uniform.Lin Jian met his eyes and watched him striding towards him, and suddenly remembered the scene when she first saw him in the Lin Mansion.At that time, he was walking forward without squinting like this, with smooth and elegant demeanor.And it was at that time that she was suddenly attracted by this man, deeply attracted by the unique temperament emanating from him.At this moment, Lin Jian found that what Brant said was right. Her feelings for Lin Mo were complicated. On the one hand, she was deeply jealous of his tough and oppressive temperament. Temperament creates dependent emotions.

He walked in front of her, and instead of sitting down on the seat beside her, he just looked down at her like that.

This gesture of his made Lin Jian a little annoyed, she raised her head and looked at him coldly.The sharpness in his eyes still made her feel pressured, but it no longer made her unconsciously want to avoid it.

"Look at you! It's like a hedgehog with thorns all over its body." Looking at each other, Lin Mo said.He carefully looked at her face, "I scare you so much?" As soon as he finished speaking, he passed her and sat down on the other end of the bench.

Lin Jian took a deep breath to calm down the fluctuation in her heart.At that moment just now, the blade in his eyes was as sharp as substance, and she almost felt that he was about to reach out and grab her by the throat.But after all, he gave up his strength and put away the strong sense of oppression, and sat down beside her, a heavy sense of exhaustion immediately poured out from his slender body.

The long silence made this moment almost static, and only the falling Aschet star proved the passage of time.At last, the starlight had completely disappeared on this side of the planet, and the street was lit with less bright lights.

"Why don't you do it?" Lin Jian said in the long silence, her voice was clear and calm in the darkness of this small area.The killing intent that flashed across his eyes when they looked at each other was very clear. "I gave you 10 minutes, maybe not too long, but it's as much time as I can give you."

"Since I was an adult, no one has ever said such arrogant words to me." Lin Mo arched his back, put his arms on his knees, and crossed his hands in front of his forehead.It made his voice sound hoarse and gritty.

"I have my pride." Lin Jian replied, tightly clenching her hands hidden under the hem of her skirt, "During these 10 minutes, none of my guards were present. During these 10 minutes, I will give my life to you Does this sound arrogant? Lin Mo, I never deny that I can have what I am today based on everything you provided in the first place, and never have. Even when Brant asked me, I answered him like this .During the days and nights when I arrived at the Capital Star, I have been thinking about how to smooth everything out and make you an irrelevant person to me..."

"So you came up with such an idea?" Lin Mo suddenly released his face from the palm of his hand, he turned his head to look at Lin Jian, the sarcasm in his voice was even harsher, and there was a faint pent-up anger, "What a good idea If you can't do it yourself, you will throw the problem to others."

"Why can't I do it!" Lin Jian stood up abruptly, walked up to Lin Mo and looked down at him, "Who says I can't do it!" She flipped her wrist, and a small palm-sized particle beam pistol exploded Holding it in her hand, when she raised her arm, the black muzzle of the gun pressed against Lin Mo's forehead. "Do you have to talk to me like that? Do you think you are still the one who controls everything with your superior tone that you never want to give up?"

Lin Mo raised his head slightly and looked at her.His icy blue eyes became as dark as hers under the night.

At this moment, their positions were reversed.Not only is it compared to the position where they looked at each other more than ten minutes ago, but the position in the imperial military circle has undergone drastic changes.

Lin Jian looked at him, trying to calm down the anger in his heart, and then saw a smile slowly appear on his face, that kind of helpless smile that came from the depths of his soul.He grabbed the hand holding the pistol that was close at hand, and slowly moved the black muzzle away from his forehead, "You are leading your subordinates with this kind of childlike impulse, trying to seize Imperial power?"

His cold hands calmed her down a little, and she looked at him, "The emperor doesn't trust you anymore, not from now, but from before the aid. You already knew that, didn't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't be with me." I said those words. Isn’t it because of today’s situation that you supported me to the height of power..."

"Of course not." Lin Mo interrupted her. This was the second time he interrupted her today. "You try to get too much. In a position of power, when you reach a position, what you gain by taking it again will be much less than what you lose. Do you really want to take this step?"

"You are just angry because all this is out of your control and I found another way." Lin Jian looked at him without giving way, and said firmly, "I will lose nothing, I will lose nothing. meeting!"

"I." Listening to Lin Jian's words, Lin Mo slowly let go of the hand holding her. He stood up and watched her repeat, "You will lose me."

After leaving such a sentence, Lin Mo turned and walked towards the darkness without looking back.

You will lose me... What an arrogant word, Lin Jian laughed, until her shoulders trembled, only to realize that her eye sockets were wet.She slowly suppressed the smile on her face, and sat back on the long coat again.She looked at the distance, the Milky Way hung in the sky like a long silver chain as always, so beautiful and so yearning.

"Your Excellency..." Fisher saw Lin Mo coming out of the shadows, and stepped forward with some worry.

"How's the situation?" Lin Mo only felt exhausted. Years of exhaustion seemed to break out completely at this moment. He sat on the seat of the speeding car and immediately closed his eyes, as if as long as his willpower relaxed a little, he would will fall into a deep sleep.

"The situation is very bad. With the capital star's rebellion, our power in the military department has basically been resolved. Officers in important positions may be demoted and dismissed due to ineffectiveness in countering the rebellion, or just like Lieutenant General Edward. His Excellency Lieutenant General has actually been appointed Marshal of the Capital Star Army Department, and the Marshal Staff has already been obtained, but the court will issue an edict after the funeral of Marshal Brandino. The military department can be said to be in the His Excellency Lieutenant General Lin." Fisher was sitting in the driver's seat and reported the results of his investigation, "In addition, the civil service has almost completely turned to His Excellency Lieutenant General. After being imprisoned, the prime minister is now also imprisoned in his own mansion. Hathaway is now sent back home for treatment. Although she has not been relieved of her position as a pro-guard, she cannot enter the palace at all during this period of time. The pro-guard The component work is also under the overall responsibility of the new SS Deputy Chief."

"Needless to say, the deputy director of the personal guard is also from her side." Lin Mo said, closing his eyes and looking up at the back seat of the speeding car.

"Yes, the name of the new Deputy Director of the Guards is Ashley von Voorhees. It is the brother of Maurice, the captain of the Eighth Fleet Marine Corps. A fleet of marines is serving." Fisher hesitated for a moment, and said with some concern, "Your Excellency, our fleet is blocked at the edge of the second star channel, and only a team of guards are following. For your safety, I think you should return to the flagship as soon as possible."

"Do you think she will do something to me?" Hearing what Fisher said, Lin Mo showed a smile on his face.

"This..." Hearing Lin Mo's words, Fisher hesitated, "I'm not sure, but..."

From Fisher's intermittent words, Lin Mo could feel the deep worry of the young adjutant.He thought for a while and said, "Do you know what the first thing Edward said when he saw me when he came to see me?" , "After he entered Parsifal, he rushed all the way to my office, and the first thing he said to me was 'she is really crazy!', he said that Lin Jian became cold-blooded, crazy and unscrupulous, and she was no longer the same She did. But I rebutted him, I said 'if she's really crazy, really unscrupulous, when she sends out all her fleets to put down the rebellion in the star system and I only have two thousand warships with me, she should be in An ambush was arranged at a certain channel. 'Fischer, if she is really determined to kill me, she has a lot of opportunities now, even if I return to the flagship."

"So, what do you plan to do?" Fisher looked at his boss in the rearview mirror, leaning on the backrest of the seat, completely disregarding his image all the time, "Perhaps, I mean, if it was me... No, no, please forgive my nonsense."

"You mean I should follow the general trend, cooperate with Lin Jian or submit to her like those civil servants?" Seeing the pale face of the young adjutant in the rearview mirror, Lin Mo smiled tolerantly, "Fisher Er, do you know? Not long ago, Lin Jian pointed a gun at my forehead. As long as she pulls the trigger, she can remove an obstacle that has imprisoned her for a long time. Whenever she threatens me with a gun, When she put down her pride and tried to persuade me, I never had the idea of ​​betraying the empire and the royal family. I swore allegiance in front of Grand Duke Philip, and I gave my loyalty and he gave me power. This is an equivalent exchange. So, When I hold the scepter, I must serve the Iniesta family. When I lose power, I am of no use to her."

"Your Excellency..." Hearing the boss speak slowly, Fisher's eyes were a little wet. What he didn't understand was why Lin Mo would end up like this after devoting himself to the royal family and the empire. Facing such a difficult situation, he needed to Such a difficult choice to make.

"Let's go to the palace." Hearing the slight choking in Fisher's tone, Lin Mo smiled, but did not make a sound of comfort.

"Your Excellency, do you want to...?"

"Always finish what needs to be done." Lin Mo nodded and sat upright on the chair again, "Whether the emperor trusts me is not a prerequisite for me to perform my duties."

Hearing what his boss said, Fisher tightly clenched his hand on the steering wheel, and the speeding car drew an arc, thinking of the most brightly lit place on Capital Star at this time.
