I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

Chapter 179 The mystery of life experience

Huo Linyuan gently put his hands around Qi Yan's waist, as if declaring his sovereignty, not letting him escape.

Ling Qing pushed his glasses, raised the corners of his mouth meaningfully, and smiled knowingly.

On the other hand, Qi Yan's ears turned red and she secretly glared at Huo Linyuan, as if asking him to restrain himself, but in the end she was reluctant to break free from the hand around her waist.

Huo Linyuan looked at his embarrassed and angry expression, feeling very happy, and raised his eyebrows happily.

Seeing the two of them exchanging glances as if no one was around, Ling Qing coughed.

Qi Yan was immediately brought back to his senses. Only then did he notice that not only did Ling Qing have an expression that showed he saw through everything, but even Zoe's eyes were filled with amusement.

In an instant, Qi Yan's face turned as red as a boiled shrimp.

Knowing that he was shy, Huo Linyuan knocked on the table and looked at Ling Qing with a serious expression: "Let's talk business."

Ling Qing cleared his throat meaningfully, and then got back to the point: "Lin Ke is still in a coma. An Ye has found the missing soldier who was responsible for guarding Dai Heming that day, but he is now a corpse."

"After investigation, it was found that this person had indeed come into contact with the rebels' spies before his death, but..."

Having said that, Ling Qing paused and frowned slightly.

According to the clues found so far, all the blame points to this soldier being bribed and poisoning Dai Heming in prison.

Then, while escaping, he had a disagreement with his accomplices and was silenced.

Although this speculation is very reasonable, it seems a bit suspicious because the chain of evidence is too perfect.

Huo Linyuan tapped the desktop: "Tell me what you think."

Ling Qing smiled, thinking that nothing can be hidden from the Marshal's eyes.

"I think your previous inference is correct. This soldier was probably used as a scapegoat, so he was silenced."

"Although all the evidence now points to him, a mastermind who could have planned to poison criminals in the military would definitely not make such low-level mistakes."

At this time, Wen Yi pointed out directly: "Diverting attention, using someone else as a substitute, the real traitor is still in the military."

Ling Qing nodded: "That's right, so I've already released the other soldier that day. If I'm lucky, maybe I'll get something soon."

After talking about serious topics, the blush on Qi Yan's face slowly faded away, and her expression became very focused.

Although he didn't know what happened in Motiya, he was still shocked for a moment when he heard that Dai Heming was killed.

At the same time, he thought of the mystery just now, so he gently pulled Huo Linyuan's sleeve and asked, "What do you mean by 'their goal has been achieved'?"

Huo Linyuan looked down at him and patiently explained, "This time the monster riot is actually a strategy of the rebels to save Zhao from Wei."

Qi Yan was still a little confused, but Wen Yi and Ling Qing had already figured it out.

The rebels' goal was Sascot, and their retreat meant that their goal had been achieved.

As for the fact that a wave of alien beasts broke out in various parts of the main galaxy just after the rebels retreated, this was obviously not a coincidence.

The only answer is to keep the military busy and prevent them from being pursued.

In fact, Ling Qing had already had a premonition when the rebels retreated that day, so he carefully checked the entrances and exits of the port, and as expected, he did not find Sascot.

So if Sascot wants to escape from Motia, there is only one way left - Lin Ke's warship.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there was something unusual about Lin Ke's capture that day.

After hearing Huo Linyuan's explanation, Qi Yan finally understood the whole story.

At this time, Huo Linyuan looked at Ling Qing and ordered, "Send someone to closely watch Lin Ke all day long. If he wakes up, no one else is allowed to visit him."

"From now on, you will take full charge of all military affairs of the Twelve Army. I will issue the appointment documents later."

"Yes!"

After Huo Linyuan gave the order, everyone followed his orders and went about dealing with the matters at hand.

Zoe also left the room to arrange for evacuation.

Huo Linyuan held Qi Yan on his lap and then pressed his forehead against Qi Yan's.

"Would you like to sleep a little longer?"

There was still more than an hour until dawn.

After hearing so much news, Qi Yan couldn't sleep now.

He shook his head: "I've slept enough."

Now, not only has the main plot deviated from the original text, but many new mysteries have also emerged.

Qi Yan didn't know whether all this was due to his appearance, nor did he know whether it was good or bad.

Thinking of this, he looked worried, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Huo Xiu Ze, he..."

As soon as he said the name, he didn't know how to ask next.

In the original text, Huo Linyuan did have a father, but he ran away from home when he was very young and never appeared again in the original text.

And this person's name is Huo Xiu Ze.

Huo Linyuan looked at his worried expression and kissed his forehead.

Then he began to speak slowly: "He is my nominal father and also my adoptive father."

Qi Yan was shocked. This was never mentioned in the original text.

But then he felt a little relieved. If they were not father and son, then at least the tragedy of father and son killing each other could have been avoided.

"He is my grandfather's adopted child and my mother's brother, so technically speaking, he is my uncle."

"After my mother died, my grandfather claimed to the public that he was my father in order to let me inherit the Huo family."

Qi Yan never expected the truth to be like this.

At this time, Huo Linyuan put his head on his shoulder.

Qi Yan couldn't see his expression, but she felt a pang of heartache for no reason and couldn't help but put her arms around his back.

Huo Linyuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and the two of them stayed like that quietly for a while.

But then Qi Yan thought of another question. Since Huo Xiu Ze was not his biological father, then who was his biological father?

But before he could ask, there was a sudden knock on the door. Qi Yan quickly jumped down and sat back in his chair.

Then, Li Jia pushed the door and walked in.

"The Marshal is not planning to stay with me forever, is he?"

Seeing the two sitting side by side on a chair, Li Jia frowned slightly. Although he did not object to the two being together, it did not mean that he agreed to everything.

The situation is so complicated now, he doesn't want Qi Yan to be caught in the vortex.

Now, the group of teachers were quarreling fiercely under Si Mingyu's instigation. It was obviously inappropriate for Huo Linyuan to not show up.

At this time Qi Yan also realized the problem. When the warship had not arrived yet, it was reasonable for Huo Linyuan to rest here. Now that the warship has arrived, if he stays any longer it will undoubtedly attract criticism.

Thinking of this, Qi Yan gently pushed him.

Huo Linyuan took the opportunity to grab his hand, put it on his lips and kissed it.

"wait me back."

Qi Yan was startled, her ears turned red, and she whispered, "What are you doing!"

What he actually wanted to say was “Daddy is still watching!”.

He glanced secretly at Li Jia, and saw that Li Jia's face couldn't be any darker.

However, Huo Linyuan curled his lips and smiled, gently touching his head. Qi Yan, who was tempted by the beauty, blushed instantly and could no longer say a word of objection.

Seeing Qi Yan being eaten alive, Li Jia gritted his teeth secretly, thinking that he really couldn't stand this man.

Now when Li Jia looked at Huo Linyuan, he clearly felt like a father-in-law who saw his son-in-law for the first time and found that the more he looked at him, the more annoying he felt.
