lyra sleepless

Chapter 78

Orpheus, military cemetery, Xiaoxiao Yuxie.The sky was still hazy blue, and a ray of pale golden sunlight broke through the clouds, reminiscent of a pair of melancholy and mysterious eyes.

The former supreme commander of the Lyra constellation and the unrivaled national hero You Bushu’s farewell ceremony, half of the upper class was present. The nobles wore dark or dark blue dresses with solemn expressions, and the white hats of the ladies and gentlemen Qiangwei still had tears in her eyes, half of her small face was covered by a black veil, and the military band's uniform white military uniform was covered with golden ribbons, everything was appropriately noble and decent.

But no one surnamed You showed up at the funeral. You Bushu's eldest son, You Zheng, unfortunately died in a military exercise half a month ago, and his second son, You Jing, was wanted on the run for negligence in drug trafficking. Some distant relatives of the You family avoided him. Too late, those who dared to be present were all families that had nothing to do with Youjia. They said they were here to mourn, but they were more half-sarcastically half-cold, witnessing the bleak death of this generation of famous generals, the collapse of a century-old family in an instant, and the endless performance of Orpheus It's just a drama, but this time it's more exciting.

What caused a small commotion was the arrival of Su Se, the president of the Orpheus Chamber of Commerce. The death of You Bushu was such a sensation, but few people knew that Su Yan, the Patriarch of the Su family, disappeared mysteriously at the same time, and the news was handled in a low-key manner whether intentionally or not.In the small circle of the Seventh Family, all public appearances are social occasions, and all social means are political speculation, even funerals are no exception. Some well-informed people have begun to suspect that the power of the Su family is now vacant, and this person is presumptuous. Does the unscrupulous son, who is not doing business properly, also intend to take over the family and get involved in politics?

Those who are more informed have already received rumors that the only son of the Su family, who is worthless, and the promising chief of staff of the military department, You Zheng, are having an affair. The erotic news made people a little suspicious, whether it was the young people who couldn't tell if they were bold enough to have real feelings, and they were all waiting to see the good show.But now that Youjia is gone, seeing Su Se's affairs and conversations, she still looks like a fish in water, calm and unhurried, her face is like a peach blossom, her brows and eyes are frivolous and reckless after being immersed in the mall for a long time, in the eyes of the nobles, she lacks dignity and is unpleasant, A little more contempt was added in my heart.

The Su family is always the Su family, their wrists are all charming, and the beauties are also femme fatales, with spring breeze, spring rain and spring scenery, cold eyes and cold heart.Not to mention that when the Republic was first established, the reason why the nobles were nobles was that the You family relied on military merit, the Helian family relied on technology, the He Jiaming system was repaired, the Lu family destroyed the family to relieve difficulties, and the Su family single-handedly established the secret service at that time. Institutions, to put it bluntly, are assassinations, lurking, beauty traps, and shady affairs.

After more than ten generations, no matter what their origins are, everyone has been washed bright and bright by the years. That's how it was. The Su family made a step forward more than ten years ago, and it also relied on the marriage with the Helian family. The head of the family became half of the family.It is even said that the murder case of Colonel Lin during the Hundred Years' War was not an invasion by foreign enemies, but a love affair caused by jealousy—or else he died in a clear day and in a daze.

Like father, like son.

They talked secretly and guessed boldly, thinking Su Se couldn't hear them.Su Se sneered in her heart, if Su Yan Jiuquan heard this, he would be happy to die and come back to life. If You Bushu had any affection for Su Yan, Su Yan would probably do everything for him, and You Bushu would not need to be poisoned. His brother in the same robe came to win love.

But these people are just quick to talk. Su Se is bleeding half of the Helian family's blood, and is the only heir of the Su family. It's also thriving—you can't tell when the sky will rise, whether you should please or please.

What's more, what's more, Su Se has just lost the guest of honor at this moment, and she is sleeping in the cold, if she can take the opportunity to win the heart, it would be the best, and the momentary pleasure will not suffer, even flirting is also pleasing to the eye and the eye.

Nobles, that is to say, have a better posture, and are much more humble than profit-seeking businessmen in their bones.Seeing them impatiently making fools of themselves at You Bushu's funeral, Su Se felt sick for a while.

He wanted to find an open place to breathe, but a deep voice stopped him.

"Your Excellency President."

With her hands in her pockets, Suser turned around lightly, her tired face turned into a hypocritical and cheap smile the moment she turned around: "Yeah".

The man who called him was dressed in military uniform, his tall body blocked the bleak sunlight, his silhouette was inlaid with a layer of gold, and his face was indeed blurred.

Su Se lost his mind for a moment, and then saw the strange face clearly.The man looked ordinary, he seemed a little nervous, he unconsciously licked the corners of his lips, those eyes Su Se had seen too much, fanatical, anxious, the eyes of a stupid careerist that couldn't be concealed.

His heart cooled down slowly, he gave an indistinct "um", and just wanted to get out quickly.

The soldier introduced himself, "I am Lu Mingyang, and my father is the chairman of Lu's enterprise."

The surname is Lu, and he is also in business. He will not be a core figure in the family. Su Se said perfunctorily: "I have dealt with your father before, and the cooperation is very pleasant."

Lu Mingyang's cowardly expression flashed by, and he mustered up the courage to continue: "Although my father is a businessman, I joined the army very early. Competing on the same stage, alas, it's a pity that heaven is jealous of talents." He sighed very artificially.

Su Se's heart skipped a beat, and she said coldly, "Why are you telling me this?"

Lu Mingyang's timid and lack of confidence reappeared: "I vaguely remember that when I was young, the chairman and the chief of staff always went in and out together."

When she was a child, Suther didn't have such a character in her memory.Suddenly there was a commotion, he looked sideways to the rear, and then showed an ambiguous smile: "It's an old-fashioned thing, doesn't Major General Lu understand the truth of this moment and that moment? For example, although we didn't have much friendship in the past, we can still be friends today. The one standing in front of me and talking is Major General Lu, not Chief of Staff You." He patted the arm of the person in front of him, just wanting to slip away quickly.

As soon as he took a long leg, he hadn't taken a few steps when a majestic yet beautiful female voice called out to him from behind.

Su Se yelled in her heart that it was not good, and stopped helplessly. A luxuriously dressed woman slowly turned in front of him and looked him up and down.

That noble lady is well maintained, and she can be seen from the corner of her eyes that she is not young. The years have worn away her freshness, and her former elegance has become a deterrent. A woman who is over half a year old and still beautiful is undoubtedly terrifying of.

Apparently her husband's disappearance didn't affect her much. Although the dress was black for the occasion, it had shiny patterns. She was very busy with the funeral etiquette, and her biggest purpose was to catch her son.

Su Se simply looked at her and nodded slightly: "Mother."

"You still think of my mother."

Su Se tilted her head and smiled: "You didn't think of my son until today."

The other party raised his slender eyebrows, and said condescendingly: "In the past, you were deviant, and the road paved for you by your family ran away without making a sound. You can pretend that you are young and ignorant, but now Orpheus is going to change the world." Now, you have to limit your nonsense."

Su Se put his hand on his heart, bowed slightly and said, "I would like to express my greatest respect and condolences to the passing of Marshal You." This was the only sincere thing he said today.

He Lianxia sneered: "You came here because of that little lover who made a ghost, the Su family has no friendship, so don't pretend to be in front of me."

Su Se's little finger trembled, but she still smiled and said, "At the funeral, you should be more cautious when speaking."

Strange to say, Su Se's appearance didn't follow her mother clan's at all, but her flair talent was exactly the same as Helian Xia's.Su Yan was really wronged at this point. He and You Bushu grew up together, so although he looks amazing, he has always been a gentle and peaceful image of a bamboo horse protected by others. It won't drop.Su Se was very arrogant, like a peony in full bloom in the same city, its fragrance soared to the sky, and it couldn't be covered.

At this moment, Helian Xia became more hostile, and he became more tit-for-tat, and his smile became more frightened as if poisoned. Helian Xia saw his young self from this disobedient son, but felt that he was at a disadvantage and that he was not interesting.

She turned her face away, and said angrily: "I left your concubine alone in order to save a way out, but now that people are dead and the way out, you have to rely on yourself."

Su Se said coolly: "You have to rely on me. My father disappeared. First, you lost support in Su's family, and secondly, you lost confidence in Helian's family. Apart from the wolf-hearted scoundrel, you still have What cards are there?"

He Lianxia laughed back angrily: "You are really my own son, I don't need to teach you the truth. It seems that my worries are in vain, you have even found your next family. Although that Lu Mingyang just now is not from our family, but Because of this, he is willing to climb up, and your eldest cousin has also valued him recently, and he might be able to get ahead someday."

Su Se frowned, and said sarcastically: "They are all Helian Ding's dogs, do you still have to come first?"

"That's your big cousin!" Helianxia's chest heaved, she approached a little bit, and said in a low voice: "Let go of your dubious business as soon as possible, Youjia is gone, and Orpheus is yours now In the world of big cousin, are you afraid that our family will not be able to share benefits? Besides, he is about to have a good thing now..."

After hearing this, Su Se was stunned for a moment. Before he could ask what the good thing was, the salute had already been fired, the military music was played, and the funeral officially began.

The crowd whispering to each other regained their mournful expressions. Their eyes turned towards the entrance. The first thing they saw was the huge coffin, and then they saw the coffin-bearers. There were sixteen people in total, and the leaders had gray hair. The faces are vicissitudes, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal, but people who have been on the battlefield, no matter how mentally exhausted, there is an unconcealable ferocity.

One of them was You Bushu's adjutant during the war. He was nearly 20 years older than the marshal. The old man lost an arm on the battlefield and retired to the countryside. He took off his shirt, revealing a large scar on his horrific limb: "Life and death, I followed the marshal 17 years ago and saw many times. Now that the marshal is gone, am I not worthy to come and see him off?"

It is worthy, and the news will be very good when it is publicized, but the mourners are also afraid that the old man will drop the coffin if his hands are unsteady, and it will be his youngest son who will carry the coffin for the old adjutant in the end.The adjutant fell in love with a maid in the palace when he broke through the capital of the empire. He tasted it in private. This maid was originally against the rules, but You Bushu tried her best to keep her. In the end, the adjutant lost his military service and took his young wife back to his hometown to farm on a small planet. When his son arrived, he was already a farmer.

As usual at the funeral, the identity check is required. Just as the funeral director asked him to stretch out his wrist to verify the personal system, the child was not a decent person, so he hid behind the old adjutant in fright. This thing." Pulling his son to take out his hand, it was indeed a smooth and clean arm, and he had nothing to say, so he was accommodating.

Because of his physical strength, the young man was placed in the middle of the coffin, and he tried his best to walk across the avenue in the center of the auditorium, with dignified guests attending the funeral on both sides, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to lift his head.

On his shoulders are the guns of the republic, the shield of the republic, the crown on its head, and the foundations under its feet.You Bushu closed his eyes, still handsome and handsome, with golden light dancing on his outline, like a sleeping lion, covered by the national flag of seven-string flowers, his body returned to the motherland reluctantly, and his soul went away without knowing where .But the weight of this body is enough. With tears in their eyes, the female guests plucked the white flowers on the top of their heads and threw them to the coffin. Some of them lacked strength, and they fell on the shoulders of the young man, just like he was carrying frost and snow.

When walking past Su Se, the young man didn't stop.His black eyes were fixed on his feet.One step, one step, seems to replace the heartbeat, sending you to the end without exception.

Suther's green eyes followed the steps deeply.

On the second day after getting drunk, You Jing drank Su Se's best bottle of wine. With the scabbard in his mouth, he folded his sleeve up in half, and poured the rest of the wine on the blade .

You Jing held the handle of the knife with his backhand, the sharp point pierced into the flesh, and before bleeding, he slid across it hard and lightly, and then sent it deep, picking out the silver chip.You Jing's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He threw the personal system still covered in blood and flesh into Su Se's hand, spat out the scabbard and said, "Destroy it, it won't be used in the future, don't leave any traces."

Su Se nodded at him, treated his wound, and asked him: "Do you want to change your appearance completely, or temporarily?"

You Jing paused, and said, "I still don't want to change it."

It's not that he is reluctant to part with this face, but in this world, after all, there is still someone he cares about who loves this face.

Su Se is actually unwilling to change it for him, You Jing's proud jaw, thinly pursed lips, and straight nose bridge are like the only relics of You Zheng to him.

He didn't see You Zheng's death, You Zheng was burned to ashes, and all of Su Se's broken bones and heartbreaks were like a ray of wandering spirit floating in the air, only seeing You Jing can make the pain real and vivid.

Suther took a deep breath and brought her thoughts back to reality.

Suddenly, there was a scream, but it was Helian Xia who covered her lips with a handkerchief with her left hand, and pointed straight ahead with her right hand.

A boxy, clumsy robot walked crookedly towards You Buju's coffin.
