Chapter 47

It was definitely the first time that Yisi and Mu Fan went out alone.

The two walked side by side on the road, one tall and one short, one in front and one behind.You Yisi's body is still in the development stage, and he is not as good as Mu Fan, a hundred-year-old goblin, and was left behind within a few steps.And he has a stubborn temper, unwilling to speak, so he can only speed up his pace to keep up.

By the time Mu Fan reacted, You Yisi was already sweating in order to catch up with him.

"You..." He frowned slightly, and then slowed down.

"The next time you can't keep up, just say it."

You Yisi looked at him in surprise, and nodded.

At this time, the two had already walked out of Beichen's student dormitory area, and walking outside was a commercial street called "Degenerate Street" by the students, where there were everything for snacks, entertainment, and upper bunks to pass the time.Today, however, these shops are rarely open.

You Yisi was feeling strange, but Mu Fan spoke up.

"They are doing the business of the Beichen Military Academy. The students are all gone on vacation, what are they still doing here?"

You Yisi was taken aback for a moment, realizing that he had neglected this point.But Mu Fan actually understood the market in this area, which surprised him a bit.Your Highness, shouldn't you be non-human?

However, what happened next made You Yimi completely overturn his own opinion.

Mu Fan led him to a shop that was still closed, went in and said something to the boss, and when he came out, a tall and strong man looked at You Yisi and snorted disdainfully.

"This is your partner? It looks weak, can it work?"

Mu Fan smiled, "I know if he can do it, don't worry about it."

The strong man snorted and led the way, followed by the two of them.Along the way, he turned around, took a detour, and took a secret path, and Yisi followed him all the time. Although the doubts in his heart were getting bigger and bigger, he didn't ask any questions.In the end, the man brought them to an inconspicuous three-story building, took the money and things from Mu Fan, turned his head and left.

"Where is this place?" You Yisi asked.

Mu Fan laughed and said, "You're only asking now, aren't you afraid that I'll sell you?"

"Compared to Your Highness, I am worthless."

Mu Fan glanced at him, "That's not necessarily the case."

Then Mu Fan led the way, leading You Yisi into this seemingly ordinary building.

It wasn't until after entering that You Yisi discovered that this was actually an auction house.Established in such a hidden place, can it be a serious auction house?Sure enough, after looking at the goods being consigned for a while, I knew that this is not an auction house that can exist in the sun.

"This is Beichen's largest contraband trading place." Mu Fan said, "Arms, drugs, drugs, all kinds of things, as long as you want, you can get them here."

"Including the poison that can poison a whale shark?" You Yimi asked.

Mu Fan smiled, "You guessed it."

"What you want to say is that Duoduo bought the poison here before? Or did someone else buy it and gave it to him? You want to find out the buyer here?" The two found a private room, and the conversation was still Lowered his voice.

Mu Fan shook his head, "Do you know who opened this auction house? It's Lancelot Oz."

"Sounds familiar."

Mu Fan said helplessly: "One of the seven generals of Beichen back then disappeared in the military and political circles after You Mao soldiers died in the line of duty, and did not care about world affairs. However, the Oz family has always been operating underground trade on the border between the two countries. Compared with You Renyao, He is Beichen's well-deserved king of the underground."

"When doing this kind of transaction, the most important thing is reputation. Whether you are a murderer, a robber, or a bandit, he must ensure that your transaction here is safe and secure. If Lancelot leaks the customer's information, it will be his fault." Smash the signboard." Mu Fan added, "Of course, if you explain the reason to him in person, maybe it will be different."

"Forget it." You Yisi said expressionlessly, "I'm just an orphan, how can He De bother this one, what did you call him just now?"

"King of the Underworld."

This name is really unique.You Yisi thought, if he starts a new life and dominates the mountains in the future, he will definitely not have such a rustic nickname.

Mu Fan took a deep look at him, "Since you don't want to, you can only go another way."

"what?"

"Buy. There is nothing that can't be solved in the world, it's just that the profit is not big enough. If we spend money to buy information, the other party will not refuse the benefits."

You Yisi: "...I didn't bring any money."

Mu Fan: "I can't count on you."

When Yisi heard this, he felt an inexplicable depression.

After a while, Mu Fan beckoned to an attendant from the auction house and whispered something in his ear.The attendant showed a embarrassed expression, Mu Fan said something again, the attendant nodded and left.When he came back, he handed something to Mu Fan. You Yisi took a look at it from a distance, and it seemed to be a storage device.

"The master said that it is inconvenient to disclose the guest's information to everyone, but we can trade some clues." The waiter withdrew after finishing speaking.

Playing with the storage device with his fingertips, Mu Fan showed a playful smile.

"It's just a small thing that affects the fate of many people."

"It's that simple?" You Yisi frowned, "If that's the case, why did you bring me here?"

"I just thought, maybe you will use these channels in the future." Mu Fan said, "And I brought you here because it is still an excellent viewing spot."

Viewpoint?

You Yisi followed his line of sight and noticed that the window of the private room of the auction house was facing Xinggang.Here, you can clearly see the rising and falling spaceships of Xinggang.

"you……"

Before You Yisi finished speaking, he heard the familiar sound of breaking through the sky above Xinggang.He had heard that voice before, and it reminded him of the scene when he sneaked away to the port with Isolde on the eve of the entrance examination and watched the Beichen fleet return to its voyage.At this time, the same voice sounded again, the space defense cover above the starport slowly opened, and starships with traces of artillery fire drove in one after another.

The Beichen Third Fleet has returned.

At that moment, the residents near the star port all looked up at the huge black monsters.They are silent and orderly, bearing the scars of just returning from the battlefield.However, this time, Yu Yimi did not hear any cheers, as if the silence was the explanation for everything.

Mu Fan also walked to his side at some point, and watched the fleet enter the port quietly with him.

Even from a long distance, You Yisi seemed to be able to see the mottled scars of the Beichen Third Fleet clearly, and could smell the gunpowder smoke that had just retreated from the battlefield.

They did not lose the battle, but they did not win either.Go out with honor and mission, but return without cheers and gratitude.

The surrounding air seemed to be frozen.

You Yimi murmured: "War, what is it?"

Mu Fan: "It's death."

Regardless of victory or defeat, the only constant is the death that war brings.

Afterwards, the two left the auction house and walked to the street. They could see two or three people in military uniforms, all soldiers of the Third Fleet who had just returned from the starship.There was no relieved smile on their faces, but unspeakable exhaustion.

You Yisi was walking on the street, and Mu Ran saw an acquaintance.

"Bo——!"

He was about to call for someone, but he saw Bai Qing who was in a trance accidentally bumped into a child.He immediately squatted down, trying to support the child.However, the child's mother ran over quickly and took the child away.The backs she left for Bai Qing were all flustered and terrified.

When did the people of Beichen start to fear their own soldiers?Bai Qing clenched his fists tightly, and the corner of his mouth was filled with unbearable bitterness.The comrades behind him stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, and the two left together.

From the beginning to the end, You Yisi watched everything, but did not help.

"Your friend?" Mu Fan asked, "Aren't you going to say hello?"

"I think he doesn't want to be disturbed now." You Yisi shook his head, turned and left.

On the way, they also saw many other soldiers, and most of their expressions were the same as Bai Qing's, numb and at a loss.It seems that the impact of blowing up the habitable star and accidentally injuring civilians has not been eliminated until now—whether it is in the hearts of the people or in the hearts of these soldiers.

"Human beings are very narrow." Mu Fan said, "War and death are the same, as long as there is a name of justice, they will cheer and regard the victims as martyrs. But is there justice in war?"

"Sometimes fighting is for self-defense, and you have to resist." Yimi said, "but at least, not this time."

"Really?" Mu Fan laughed at himself, "Then what do you think is a just war, like the one 200 years ago?"

This is the first time that the two of them have formally discussed this cryptic topic.

You Yisi's heart trembled, wondering if Mu Fan planned to pierce the window paper, he took a deep breath and said, "At least, we were not the ones who started the war back then."

Mu Fan said flatly: "Really? Then why do you think the empire went to war for no reason? Just because of ambition?"

Yisi was alert, "What do you mean?"

This time, Mu Fan didn't answer him again.You Yisi looked at his silent profile, as if he saw many secrets hidden in the dark.

Before the two returned to school, You Yisi finally couldn't help asking him again.

"So, why did you help me? Don't you care about what happened back then?"

Mu Fan looked at him, many thoughts flashed in his eyes, but in the end, only one sentence came together.

"It wasn't until recently that I realized that if I had to hate someone, it would be my irreparable self." He said, "I will go to you again after the information is cleared up."

After leaving the last sentence, Mu Fan left.

You Yisi stood where he was, watching Mu Fan's leaving back, thinking about the meaning of his words.Could it be that what Mu Fan meant was that the war back then was not as simple as aggression and anti-aggression?Judging by the tone, there seems to be some unknown secret in it?He was puzzled, and decided to go back and take a good look at the badge left by Ming Qi, looking for any clues.

On the same day, news of the return of the Beichen Third Fleet quickly spread throughout the country.

This seems to announce the end of a civil war, however, it is the beginning of another battle.

One month after the start of the second semester, You Yisi got the news that because of the indiscriminate killing of civilians in the battle, the Beichen Third Fleet was brought to a court-martial.

Until then, everything seemed to be going smoothly.
