Dragon King Awakens in the Interstellar

Chapter 178 Chapter 177: Your Highness, Are You Naturally Don't Know to Worry?
Jiang Ningtao, the regiment of the Third Legion, is a die-hard emperor's party. After Xiao Junchen succeeded to the throne, the military department has undergone a small-scale blood change. Almost half of the middle-level generals who were promoted with the late emperor in the past have gradually been peripheralized. Now, and the people who fill these 'vacancies' are Xiao Junchen's own people who are slowly arranged.

Jiang Ningtao is one of Xiao Junchen's own people, so Jiang Ningtao also understands that he and the emperor are in the same boat, and only when the emperor is good, then he will be good, so no matter what the emperor gave him in private What kind of secret order, even if he finds it too unbelievable, he has to bite the bullet and complete it.

Before Xiao Tingyun came, Jiang Ningtao felt uneasy, but he didn't feel anything, but after Xiao Tingyun came, when he saw the Crown Prince with his own eyes, Jiang Ningtao felt a sense of guilt for no reason. .

Not for anything else, just because Xiao Tingyun looks too much like the late emperor.

Back then, Jiang Ningtao, who was just a recruit of the Third Army Corps, had met the late emperor at a military parade. At that time, he was still a recruit, and he didn't even have the courage to look up at the late emperor. In the end, he was still waiting for the late emperor to approach him. When he passed by, he mustered up the courage to look up quickly.

Now looking at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who looks more and more like the late emperor, Jiang Ningtao naturally thinks of the late emperor again, and he, who was already guilty, is even more guilty.

On the way to the base, Jiang Ningtao didn't dare to speak because of guilty conscience. On the contrary, Duan Lishu, who was sitting in the back, chatted happily with Xiao Tingyun. During the whole process, the two of them could be heard softly from time to time. laughter.

Seeing that they were about to arrive at the base, Duan Lishu probably sensed Jiang Ningtao's silence along the way, so he brought the topic to him, "Old Jiang, after the group of star thieves took hostages and entered the red restricted zone, your side Can they be located? This red restricted area is so big, and no one has ever explored it before. No one knows what is inside. Let alone encountering danger, even if there is no danger, finding someone like this is like finding a needle in a haystack. what."

Jiang Ningtao was guilty of Duan Lishu's question about the red restricted zone, but he chose which pot to open and which pot to lift. Seeing that Xiao Tingyun followed his words, Jiang Ningtao said dryly: "Deputy head Liu The personal terminals on them were turned off, so we couldn't locate where they are now, and the first batch of people who followed up to find them also lost contact one after another, so our Third Army now doesn't know that there is a person in the restricted area. what's the situation."

"Then what are you going to do?" Duan Lishu said awkwardly: "You won't send people in to look for it one after another, right?"

Jiang Ningtao quickly glanced at him and Xiao Tingyun through the side-view mirror, "This is the only way we can think of, and now besides rescuing the two deputy heads Liu, we also need to chase after the stars. All the soldiers who went in with the bandit group were brought back."

Duan Lishu sneered, and didn't know whether he was amused by his words or out of anger, he shook his head while laughing and said: "A group of people have lost contact, and I don't even know the reason why they lost contact , you still dare to keep sending people in to look for it, are you not afraid of losing people? What is this called?"

Duan Lishu looked sideways at Xiao Tingyun, and asked, "What did our young lady say?"

Xiao Tingyun immediately understood and said: "The gourd baby will save grandpa, and send them off one by one."

"Yes." Duan Lishu nodded, then looked at Jiang Ningtao who was sitting in front, and said, "You are just like that gourd baby saving grandpa. Grandpa was not rescued, but brothers were lost one by one."

Jiang Ningtao didn't know the allusion about the gourd baby saving his grandfather, let alone what the gourd baby was, but after being told by Duan Lishu, he showed a bit of irritability, as if he lost his mind after being overwhelmed by this matter. Reasonable, so I also have a temper.

He said irritably: "Old Duan, I also know that this is a stupid way, but what can I do? The magnetic field in the red restricted zone is already chaotic, and if you are not careful, you will lose the signal. My deputy captain also has two starships All the soldiers have lost their news, and I am also anxious. There is no signal, the location is useless, and people can’t be contacted. What else can I do except keep sending people in to look for them? Should I just ignore those people and let them fend for themselves? ?"

Jiang Ningtao's words were urgent and angry. Although his tone was not very good, his words were not wrong. As the commander of the first army, his deputy commander lost contact with the soldiers in the red restricted zone. The most anxious The best person is naturally him.

but
Whether Jiang Ningtao, the army commander, is really in a hurry or something else, he probably knows best.

Of course, only Duan Lishu and Xiao Tingyun knew best whether Duan Lishu and Xiao Tingyun, who knew he was the emperor, believed what he said.

Believe it or not, you still have to look good.

Duan Lishu cupped his hands at Jiang Ningtao immediately for forgiveness, and said, "Don't be angry, that's what I said, and I didn't let you ignore Deputy Head Liu and the others. I'm also impatient. But Lao Jiang, let's talk Having said that, you also know how dangerous it is to send people in like this, let's not talk about anything else, let me ask you, do you think it is appropriate for His Highness to go in like this?"

Jiang Ningtao's heart skipped a beat, he was afraid to mention this.

Of course Jiang Ningtao knew that it was inappropriate for His Royal Highness to follow into the red restricted zone, but what good did he think it was inappropriate?It was not he who wanted the prince to enter, but the emperor.

Jiang Ningtao was left speechless by Duan Lishu's question, so he could only look at Xiao Tingyun with a guilty conscience.

When Duan Lishu didn't see Jiang Ningtao looking at Xiao Tingyun, he continued, "I'm so surprised, Your Highness is just a graduation assessment, what exactly is Xingyun Academy doing? Why did His Highness's graduation assessment become So dangerous?!"

Jiang Ningtao looked at the puzzled Duan Lishu, and didn't know whether he was really puzzled or said that on purpose, but he thought in his heart: What's the matter with Guan Xingyun Academy?Nebula Academy wanted to change the content of the prince's graduation assessment, but the order from Emperor Duxing had been transmitted to Nebula Academy a few days ago. The emperor said that this was an assessment for the prince. What else could Nebula Academy do?
Not to mention, although Jiang Ningtao was silent on the surface, there were quite a lot of activities in his heart.

Although Jiang Ningtao is a die-hard emperor's party, it doesn't mean that he won't complain about the emperor he is loyal to. If he hadn't been supported by the emperor all the way to the position of army commander, he might be the first to jump up and scold the emperor.

He is greedy for power and power, but he is not a soldier who can't tell right from wrong. Soldiers are different from politicians.

The duty of a soldier is to protect the family and the country. Jiang Ningtao is greedy for power, but he also has the heart to defend the country. Unlike some politicians who can give up the interests of the country for their own interests, if he hadn't been tied to the emperor's Boat, he really doesn't want to do those dirty dirty things for the emperor.

Duan Lishu's words were difficult for him to answer, and he couldn't answer them, but Xiao Tingyun suddenly smiled and said: "Since it is a graduation assessment, it is naturally different from ordinary assessments, and there is no danger, so how can we test the students' abilities? .”

Xiao Tingyun casually glanced at Jiang Ningtao who was saying nothing, something seemed to flash in his eyes, and when he turned to look at Duan Lishu, there was a slight smile and calmness in his eyes.

"General Duan was worried about Gu's safety, so Gu Xin took it. But Gu has also studied at Xingyun Academy for four years. If he retreated because of danger, would Gu still dare to say that he is a military student of Xingyun? This is also sorry for the instructors of the academy. four years of teaching."

Xiao Tingyun's words can be regarded as a relief for Jiang Ningtao, and Duan Lishu originally wanted to use those words to see if he could change the possibility of Xiao Tingyun's entry into the red restricted zone, although he did not have much hope , but Xiao Tingyun said that, so naturally he wouldn't say anything more.

Duan Lishu sighed: "Okay, since you have said so, Your Highness, what else can I say." Then he changed his voice and said inexplicably: "Anyway, I came here this time under the command of the commander-in-chief. I came here to help the Third Legion, but before leaving, the Marshal also specially ordered me to protect His Highness's safety. After all, His Highness is also our lady's fiancé. If His Highness is injured, I will be afraid Shuai is mad at me."

Although Duan Lishu said that if Xiao Tingyun was injured, Long Jihuai would be angry with him, but Jiang Ningtao's ears changed when he heard this. Jiang Ningtao felt that it sounded like Duan Lishu was talking to himself As I said, if Xiao Tingyun gets hurt somewhere, Long Jihuai will make trouble for him.

Jiang Ningtao was about to break out in cold sweat, but fortunately, the base had already arrived, and he opened the door almost as soon as the flying car stopped, and said guiltily: "The base is here, Your Highness, please get off the car."

The base of the Third Army Corps does not seem to be as large as the Long Family Army's garrison on Red Rock Star, and the buildings and facilities also look very ordinary. It is like an ordinary military camp, and even the dormitories where the soldiers live Ordinary self-built buildings are still the kind of self-built houses without elevators.

But the advantage of this kind of self-built house is that the floors are not high, it is all four-story collective dormitories, and there is a large public balcony, so it is convenient to drop by when you are not training.

Knowing that Xiao Tingyun was coming, the room Jiang Ningtao had prepared for him early on was the same ordinary self-built dormitory, but the room was larger than ordinary soldiers, with three bedrooms and one living room, and a A small private balcony.

Xiao Tingyun had just arrived at Caesars, so he didn't have any graduation assessments immediately. Jiang Ningtao took him to the dormitory and let him have a good night's rest. When they made arrangements, he would go to the red restricted area to save people. The team will inform him later.

Jiang Ningtao, as the commander of the Third Army Corps, didn't have much time to accompany Xiao Tingyun, so he left in a hurry after he settled down. However, the dormitory where Xiao Tingyun lived was next door to Duan Lishu, so in Jiang Ningtao After leaving, Duan Lishu stayed behind.

After Duan Lishu walked around the room copying his hands, he looked back at Xiao Tingyun who was opening the suitcase and was about to hang the clothes he brought in the closet, and couldn't help asking: "Your Highness, are you really so calm?" what?"

Hearing this, Xiao Tingyun gave him an "otherwise" look.

Duan Lishu clicked his tongue, walked over, stared at him and said: "The dog emperor took great pains to let you follow the people of the third army into the red restricted area to save people. Everyone knows that you are a wolf. Really agree?"

Xiao Tingyun hung a shirt in his hand in the closet, and corrected him: "It's not that the wolf's ambition is known to everyone, but Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone."

"." Duan Lishu was silent, and said angrily: "Is this the point? It doesn't matter whether he is a wolf or a horse, the point is that the red forbidden area is too dangerous, and I don't know if anyone will stab you in the back. You Why do you still have the mood to correct the wolf and the horse?"

Although Duan Lishu was one of the Seven Guards of Longyin and was born in a serious military academy, Xiao Tingyun felt that Major General Duan must have failed his culture class.

Xiao Tingyun didn't want to explain to him that Sima Zhao was not a horse, but said: "If you come, you will be safe. Why is General Duan so impatient."

The impatient Duan Lishu laughed angrily at his calm words, "I really don't know whether you are born ignorant of what it means to be anxious, or if you really know what it is. Your Highness, let me just tell you, I I came a few days earlier than you, and I have been pestering that old boy Jiang Ningtao for the past few days. The old boy knew at a glance that he didn't hold back any good farts. He hesitated several times when I asked about the key points. Yes, and after entering the red forbidden zone, even I don't know what I will encounter. This time I went in with the third army, and Jiang Ningtao is the emperor's man. The emperor must have given him some secret mission in private. No, guess what secret mission he received?"

Xiao Tingyun smiled when he heard the words, but he knew it without guessing.

"From the time my good emperor uncle praised me in front of the reporter, I knew that this time things were not that simple." Xiao Tingyun said with a light smile: "But some things cannot be avoided, and my The principle has always been that if you can’t avoid it, it’s better to face it directly, after all, you can avoid it this time, but you may not be able to avoid it next time.”

Duan Lishu's eyebrows were raised high, Xiao Tingyun continued: "Besides, I need this opportunity, as long as I complete this assessment task, my good emperor uncle will no longer have any reason to prevent me from entering Court meeting."

Hearing this, Duan Lishu's tall brows gradually came down again, and after looking at Xiao Tingyun for a while, he sighed softly: "Your Highness never thought that since the emperor let you enter the court meeting, he could also be in the court meeting Do you suppress you?"

"Think about it." Xiao Tingyun said truthfully, but the expression on his face gradually became more sharp, "But so what? He hasn't replaced all the old officials from the former emperor's time. Orthodoxy is orthodoxy. A The illegitimate son who killed the king and usurped the throne, even if he was allowed to secretly sit on the throne for more than ten years, he would not be able to sit firmly in that position. And I only need this opportunity to enter the court, and I will let him see what is orthodoxy and what is Set things right."
