Since Rong Heng was attacked in Baghdad, the father and son have not been in touch. Later, the news that Rong Heng was not dead spread widely, and Si Yan never contacted him.
Father and son seem to be strangers than strangers.
When the communication was connected, the two looked at each other, neither of them spoke first, and fell into silence.
"Suddenly contact me, is there something wrong?"
Finally, Si Yan spoke first, his voice was cold and clear, and he could not hear any emotion. Even in the face of his son who was resurrected from the dead, he did not appear too surprised.
Compared with the gentle and gentle Emperor His Majesty in the news, he seemed much indifferent at this time.
But Rong Heng is more accustomed to his current state. If Si Yan really treated him with the same hypocritical face that he dealt with the media, he might not want to say a word to the other party.
' Taking a deep breath, Rong Heng organized the language and answered his question: "There are some things I want to confirm with you."
Si Yan's eyes flashed slightly, but he didn't answer, as if waiting for him to speak.
"My mother died on the front line back then, and there are other secrets, did you already know? Noah's memory was tampered with by you?"
After calming down, he thought about it and felt that the only person who had the ability and authority to tamper with Noah's memory was Si Yan.
Si Yan did not deny it, but asked, "Where did you hear that?"
"You don't need to know." Si Yan's tone was still light.
Confirmed that the other party really knew everything for a long time, but deliberately concealed it from him, and even tampered with Noah's memory for this reason, Rong Heng's heart was on fire.
The hand hanging by his side clenched into a fist, he reluctantly suppressed his anger and tried his best to speak calmly, but there was still anger in his tone: "Why? Why hide it from me?"
He stared at Si Yan and tugged at the corners of his mouth sarcastically: "You knew that your mother was plotted against you, but you refused to avenge her for so many years, and even kept it from me. "His eyes lit up with anger: "What the **** do you want to do?"
He had a lot of questions to ask, but when he met the face of the ancient well, he suddenly felt that he had punched in the cotton.
No pain, but a deep sense of powerlessness.
So he only asked this question, but after the words came out, he suddenly had a feeling.
Si Yan will not answer him.
He also said the same: "This is my business, you don't have to mix it in."
Even though the two are connected by blood and are the closest father and son, Rong Heng has never understood him.
He didn't know who he was or what he wanted.
Even at this moment, looking at the indifferent face of the other party, his heart was shaken: Is mother really right? Does she really know her husband?
The mother always said that the father loved them, but he was just not good at expressing it.
He believed in the past, but now he feels at a loss,
No matter how wise people are, they will make mistakes sometimes.
Si Yan's mother, is it her fault?
He doesn't know.
Si Yan's attitude was tough, obviously not going to tell him anything. Facing him, Rong Heng couldn't even get angry and quarreled. This person was cold-hearted, and his emotions were a burden to him. No matter how angry you are, in his eyes, it may be just noise.
So in the end, Rong Heng cut off the communication without saying a word, and broke up unilaterally.
He threw away his intellectual brain a little irritably, with mixed emotions.
Ruan Shiqing guessed that he should have calmed down by now and went up to the second floor.
As soon as she stepped into the living room, she kicked something under her feet—Rong Heng's brain.
Picking up the brain, Ruan Shiqing approached, and found the man sitting on the sofa with his head bowed, wrapped in a gloomy air pressure.
He put his intellectual brain on the coffee table, and before he had time to ask, Rong Heng pulled him and fell on his lap.
Just as he was about to get up, he heard him say in a low voice, "Don't move, let me hold you for a while".
His movements stagnated and he stopped moving.
Rong Heng hugged his waist tightly, buried his head in his neck, and did not speak.
Ruan Shiqing maintained this awkward posture, recalling the call interface on the display that he accidentally saw when he picked up the brain. Although there is only a simple "si" in the communication number remarks, it is self-evident who the owner is.
It is obvious that Rong Heng took the initiative to contact Si Yan, mostly because of the cause of Queen Farah's death.
Just by looking at his expression, he obviously didn't get a satisfactory answer, and maybe there was a fight.
He groped for the other's hand and intertwined his fingers: "What's the question?"
Rong Heng didn't want to bring up this unpleasant conversation, but Ruan Shiqing's voice was too calm, and the summer spring-like voice calmed his irritability. After a moment of silence, he still said in a muffled voice, "No, he won't say it."
Ruan Shiqing was a little surprised, but then remembered that His Majesty the Emperor was once called the "Crazy King" in the book; now, although he is not crazy, his behavior is also unpredictable, so he feels normal now.
"If he doesn't say it, then we'll check it out ourselves." Ruan Shiqing shook the hands of the two and said softly, "I'll accompany you."
If he doesn't say anything, we'll check it out ourselves.
These words cheered up Rong Heng, who was in a depressed mood.
Ruan Shiqing is right, he is no longer a cub to be manipulated, and Si Yan refuses to tell him, so he will go to find the truth; Si Yan does not want to avenge his mother, then he will He personally kills his enemies and pays homage to his mother's dead soul.
He raised his head, put his chin on Ruan Shiqing's shoulder, pondered for a while, and said, "That No. 4 may know a lot of things, I will go to the trial tomorrow, maybe I can ask something."
The next day Rong Heng went to the arsenal prison again for arraignment No. 4, along with Ruan Shiqing.
Rong Heng has been immersed in the army for a long time and is familiar with various torture methods. He greeted this extraordinarily tough Zerg one by one, but the other party was still bitten to death and refused to reveal anything.
"Let me try it?" Seeing his gloomy expression, Ruan Shiqing suggested.
The cell was stained with blood, and Rong Heng was reluctant.
But Ruan Shiqing added: "He seems to be very uncomfortable with my existence, maybe I can make a statement."
No. 4 made no secret of his hostility to him and the queen, Ruan Shiqing felt that this was a breakthrough.
Rong Heng hesitated for a while, but finally let him in.
No. 4 saw Ruan Shiqing showing a resentful expression.
The Empire has no preferential policy for the Zerg to treat prisoners. In order to pry his mouth open, Rong Heng has no mercy. At this time, he was sitting in the corner of the prison cell, covered with scars, and motionless like a corpse. Only when Ruan Shiqing came in, he raised his eyelids too hard, his eyes full of anger and contempt.
"The dignified royal family, but willing to be the lackeys of human beings, and in turn deal with their compatriots."
"When you betrayed and plotted against the queen, you didn't see you caring about your compatriots." Ruan Shiqing sneered.
Even now that he knows that the Zerg blood is flowing in his body, it is difficult for him to empathize with these indifferent and cruel Zerg.
In his opinion, only Ruan Jiao and the Queen of Worms can truly be counted as his kin.
They are fundamentally different from these Zerg.
Anthropomorphic Zerg, although they also have human form, but they are essentially animal Zerg. Looting and killing are engraved in their genes, like monsters in human skin.
Ke Chong Queen and Ruan Jiao are different, they not only have human form, but also learn human emotions at the same time.
This Zerg keeps saying "compatriots", but in fact, he may not even understand the meaning of the word "compatriots".
Otherwise, why would you hate the queen who wants to lead the tribe to a peaceful life?
At this moment, Ruan Shiqing suddenly understood the queen of insects.
She is the first person to evolve in the entire ethnic group, and even sneaked into the empire and experienced the technology and culture of the empire. Her animal nature gradually dissipated, her human nature awakened, and she must be lonely when facing the uncivilized clansmen who were still like beasts.
So later she helped No. 4, and even other powerful clansmen, to transform into human form; she went to great lengths, tried her best to facilitate peace talks, and wanted to end the war. When there is a peaceful environment and enough "Tianshi", her clan and the next generation will be able to successfully complete the evolution.
They no longer have to wander, fight, and plunder like beasts.
They can also have a peaceful and stable life.
And she doesn't have to shoulder the burden of breeding herds. Like a beast, she dies with different males to produce eggs.
Only the queen can continue the race, which is originally deformed.
The empire's technology is so advanced, the continuation of the race should not depend on only one person.
Unfortunately, everything she planned was ultimately destroyed by the conspiracy.
Ruan Shiqing's brows sank, looked at the resentful Zerg, and asked slowly, "Who were the people who participated in the assassination?"
As his voice sounded, there were waves like water waves.
Don't know.
No.4 originally wanted to answer this way, but when he opened his mouth, he felt an indescribable pressure, his lips opened and closed, and an uncontrollable voice came out from his throat: "I was not in charge at that time. Contact, I don’t know who exactly is, I just know that many people in the empire don’t want to end the war, so they hit it off with us.”
There is a collusion between the inner ghosts and the Zerg in the empire, and they have long known about this.
But what No. 4 said about "a lot of people" still surprised him.
"What are the forces?"
"As far as I know, the four chaebols, the mermaid, the nine-tailed fox, and the Holy Legion have all mixed it up. They helped us kill the insect queen, and we killed them for them. Queen Farrah."
In this way, both sides can throw the blame on the other.
Ruan Shiqing was slightly shocked, but she did not expect that so many forces were involved behind the queen's death.
But soon he figured out that what these people did was just for a profit.
The war between the empire and the Zerg lasted for thousands of years. The protracted war not only affected the division of the entire country, but also supported a large number of arms dealers who were struggling to make money.
The four chaebols only grew gradually by making a fortune in wars, and developed into the current behemoths, even the royal family had to avoid their edge.
However, assuming the war is over, the empire will no longer need a large number of warships and weapons to defend against the Zerg, and the big chaebols will lose their trump card to balance the royal family.
The same is true for the mermaid and the nine-tailed fox. Relying on the wealth accumulated by their ancestors, they not only firmly control the military area in their hands, but also form gangs in the military, and even Coveted the power of the royal family, trying to go further.
Once the war is over, the military in peacetime will definitely face troop reductions, and the pattern of military regions divided to fight against the Zerg is likely to change.
So when they learned that the queen was going to make peace with the Zerg to end the war, they chose to cooperate with the Zerg without hesitation.
If you can't solve the problem, then solve the problem.
Ruan Shiqing closed his eyes, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked the last question: "Which force is the Holy Legion?"
He felt that the name sounded familiar, and when he recalled it, he remembered that it seemed to be a newly expanded organization, similar to a cult/cult.
I don't know if it is the same.
"They seem to be a group of wanted criminals in the empire. They took the initiative to find them to cooperate. I don't know the specifics. I only know that they hate the royal family very much. They help to complete many of our experiments."
No wonder, they were still wondering how the Zerg had researched so many things in a short period of time, and there were people behind it.
Ruan Shiqing added a few more questions. Seeing that No. 4's voice was getting weaker and weaker, he temporarily ended the questioning and asked the robot to treat his wound.
He didn't notice that as soon as he left the cell, No. 4 was completely paralyzed, the black pupils in the middle of the red compound eyes spread out, and he was almost dead.
