The way everyone looked at Gu Tang changed!
This botany teacher is just too... bold!
But this plot development is so exciting!
Chapter 37 The Marshal Refuses to Divorce (11)
Did Qin Junche and Han Xuan ever fight?
I fought!
The two have been classmates since childhood.
It's no exaggeration to say that from the very first time they piloted their mechs, they were each other's rivals.
After entering the First Military Academy affiliated with the Royal Academy, there were battles every year.
After graduation, they were assigned to different legions. In the mecha competition that they could participate in before the age of twenty-five, the two fought to the death.
However, neither of them can truly subdue the other.
Later, Qin Junche and Han Xuan each led an army, and gradually, they hadn't fought each other for quite some time.
Upon hearing Gu Tang's words, Qin Junche subconsciously recalled the past.
Not only him, but many in the crowd had also witnessed the exciting past when the two marshals competed for supremacy.
But they also remembered that the Star Army guarded the southern border of the empire, and the Sun Legion protected the north.
Even if Qin Junche returns to the capital to report on his duties, it will be difficult for him and Han Xuan to clash.
I imagined the two piloting their mechs, maneuvering and competing fiercely.
After digesting this shocking gossip, many people gradually became excited.
Someone immediately activated their personal computer and quickly disseminated the message.
Whether a fight will break out is one thing.
Anyone who has ever piloted a mech and longed for the blue sky would not want to miss the battle between Qin Junche and Han Xuan, a battle that almost represents the highest level of mech piloting in the Empire.
Qin Junche's hand, hanging by his side, slowly clenched into a fist, then relaxed.
He thought he had misheard.
Gu Tang actually wants him to fight Han Xuan?
for what?
For him?!
His hands clenched again.
The fire that hadn't been extinguished earlier reignited, making his heart feel uncomfortable.
Qin Junche narrowed his eyes.
He finally became cold and sharp.
He suppressed all smiles, and even his gaze became as sharp as a drawn sword.
"Me, and Han Xuan?" Qin Junche slowly repeated Gu Tang's words, "A fight?"
“That’s right.” Gu Tang nodded without hesitation.
His gaze was open and clear, and when he looked at Qin Junche, he had no selfish motives: "I have an idea, and I originally wanted to try it out with your help or Marshal Han Xuan's help. Of course, if the top mecha pilots could take action, the effect would definitely be better."
At this moment, Qin Xiao also jumped off the car and stood next to Gu Tang.
Hearing his own father's words, and then looking at his other father whose eyes could kill.
Qin Xiao tilted his head slightly.
He tugged at Gu Tang's hand, opened his personal terminal, and typed: "I can try to help Dad."
He thought for a moment, then typed: "I can also pilot a mecha."
Gu Tang looked down and smiled at him.
Before Gu Tang could say anything more, a deep, pleasant male voice suddenly came from behind the crowd: "I accept the challenge."
Whoosh—
People were excited again.
Even without turning around, everyone could already recognize the speaker's voice.
Everyone consciously separated, making way for Han Xuan to pass.
Their eyes followed Han Xuan's retreating figure with excitement.
The marshals of the scorching Japanese army always looked so upright and imposing.
He was wearing a black dress uniform, and with that serious, austere, and somewhat cold face, he should have appeared rather hard.
But ironically, he was also holding hands with Han Fengting, who was all sweet and gentle, and whose smile was brighter than the sun whenever he saw Qin Xiao.
The stark contrast between the two makes this uncle and nephew pair particularly pleasing to the eye.
People were initially excited because Han Xuan accepted the challenge and they were about to witness a spectacular battle.
I couldn't help but think of the scandals surrounding Marshal Han Xuan again.
then……
Even people were somewhat belatedly surprised to discover that today's sensational scandal partners had actually all come together!
Han Xuan calmly led Han Fengting to Gu Tang's side.
He nodded to Gu Tangwei in greeting, then turned to look at Qin Junche.
"I accept the challenge." Han Xuan repeated his words earnestly.
"Okay." Qin Junche relaxed his clenched hand.
A lazy smile returned to the corners of his eyes and brows.
He raised an eyebrow and smiled nonchalantly: "It's been a long time since I played with you, and I'm getting a little itchy."
Qin Junche's voice grew increasingly sharp as the battle progressed: "Today, let's fight to the death!"
"Time and place?" Han Xuan asked calmly.
Qin Junche glanced around at the crowd and said with a half-smile, "It seems there are quite a few people looking forward to our battle. Of course, we can't let everyone down. So, in two hours, the Imperial Capital Military Mech Simulation Battlefield."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards his hovercar.
As he bent down to get into the car, he turned his back to Han Xuan and Gu Tang and waved to them.
Then his hovercar quickly accelerated, drifted, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
Han Xuan then withdrew his gaze.
He turned to look at Gu Tang and said politely, "I'm sorry to have startled Mr. Gu."
He glanced at the excited people around him and said, "Let's talk about it in the car."
Han Xuan's hovercar also started up quickly and left the Royal Academy.
The crowd gathered at the school gate scattered like birds and beasts.
They didn't even have time to attend the Royal Academy's founding ceremony. They all called on their friends and notified those who hadn't come today, and headed towards the military's mecha simulation battlefield.
No one wants to miss this battle that is destined to be spectacular.
Of course, no one wants to miss out on the gossip related to the two male gods of the capital.
When Han Xuan and Gu Tang arrived at the military's mecha simulation battlefield, some people who had received the news earlier had already gathered there.
Han Xuan's hovercar parked directly in the top-floor garage of the military headquarters.
He didn't get out of the car immediately, but explained to Gu Tang, "Qin Junche is my classmate, or rather, my friend, whom I grew up with."
He paused, then said, "He has distinguished himself in battle, possesses S-level mental strength, and is one of the top mech pilots in the entire Imperial Army."
"I know," Gu Tang nodded.
Han Xuan was still looking at him.
To make it easier for the two children to play, Qin Xiao and Han Fengting sat opposite them.
Han Xuan sat opposite the child, side by side with Gu Tang.
The two were very close together.
So when he looked intently at Gu Tang.
Those deep eyes seemed to have completely captured Gu Tang's small figure.
"Aren't you... afraid?" Han Xuan asked somewhat abruptly.
"Huh?" Gu Tang asked, puzzled. "What are you afraid of?"
He also turned to look at Han Xuan.
Gu Tang thought for a moment and asked, "Are you worried that Marshal Qin of the Star Army will hold a grudge against me?"
“He won’t,” Han Xuan said. “He’s not that kind of person.”
"Then there's nothing to worry about." Gu Tang reached out and pressed the button to open the door, getting out of the car first.
He turned around, took Qin Xiao's hand, and said to Han Xuan, "Let's go see the Marshal of the Star Army first."
Han Xuan looked at Gu Tang with a rare hint of surprise.
But he didn't ask anything.
It seemed as if he was showing respect to Gu Tang and genuinely demonstrating his sincerity.
On the way to see Qin Junche with Gu Tang, Han Xuan remained silent the entire time.
When the two arrived at the combat readiness room, he knocked on the door first, then opened it and went inside.
Once he was sure Qin Junche was just sitting on the sofa, Han Xuan turned to Gu Tang and said, "Mr. Gu, please."
