Chapter 260 The Empire's Twin Walls!

Kaman Federation.Seagate Country.

Phoenix is ​​inspecting Seagate's future technology factory, accompanied by Prince Constantine of Seagate.

"These robots are becoming more and more powerful. They can survive in very extreme environments and are equipped with weapons. They are warriors who are not afraid of death."

"Moreover, the touch of their skin is becoming more and more real, and it feels like a real person. It can even form a memory reflex. When you are angry, they will be afraid. When you are happy, they will also express joy, even when you are angry. You are still shy when touched."

"If Her Royal Highness the Princess doesn't mind, I would like to give you one as a gift. Please also give us some valuable feedback after using it so that we can improve it and make it better and better. "

Constantine was very fond of Princess Phoenix, so he was very attentive and thoughtful when he was responsible for the reception. When he saw Phoenix showing a slight interest in something, he immediately gave it to her as a national gift.

After all, it’s taxpayers’ money spent.

If this beautiful princess can be married to Seagate, she can marry the powerful empire to the east.At that time, Seagate's influence in the entire world will also increase again, right?

And he, King Constantine, would be the Lord of the Restoration.

"Thank you." Phoenix said with a smile.

At this moment, the mobile phone on Phoenix's wrist rang.

Phoenix glanced at the caller ID and said, "I'll answer the call."

"No problem." Constantine waved and said to the factory director who was running over: "Take the princess to the lounge."

"Yes." The factory director nodded in agreement.

Phoenix came to the lounge, answered the phone number, and said to Sheng Xinhuai in the video: "Didn't I tell you that I was inspecting at Seagate? Why did you call me at this time?"

"Oops, I forgot." Sheng Xinhuai patted his head and said, "I only remember that you were inspecting at Seagate, but I forgot that there is a time difference between the two countries. I am getting ready to sleep here. Should I hang up first?"

"What are you worried about? If you have anything to do, please tell me immediately." Phoenix urged.

If she calls, she just hangs up without mentioning the business.I'm afraid that my next trip will be ruined, and I won't be able to sleep at night.

What woman doesn't have a little curiosity?Princesses are no exception.

"Hey, I knew you cared about Bandit Tang." Sheng Xinhuai stretched out, his white arms exposed from the sleeves of his black silk pajamas, his posture was lazy and sexy.

"Is it about the Tang bandits?" Fenghuang was stunned and asked.

"Yes, have you contacted him?" Sheng Xinhuai said aloud.

"He went to visit the old soil. I sent him messages and called him, but there was no response." Fenghuang asked worriedly: "What happened to the Tang bandits?"

"He's injured." Sheng Xinhuai said aloud.

"Injured? Seriously?"

"Then I don't know." Sheng Xinhuai shook his head and said, "I heard that when they were picked up by the Star Disk, both of them were unconscious. Shen Xinglan was picked up directly by the Shen family, while Tang Bandit was picked up directly by the Shen family. If the Shen family hadn't sent out a medical machine to pick him up after he stayed at Bailu Academy, I wouldn't have known about it."

"Has the Shen family sent out medical equipment? Didn't you go take a look?" Phoenix said anxiously.

"Sister, that's Egret Academy. Do you think it's the vegetable market in front of our house? Besides, I don't have to inform you first."

"I'll go back tonight." Phoenix said.

"Don't be so anxious, right? How will you explain it to the royal family then?" Sheng Xinhuai reminded.

The princess represents the royal family on overseas inspections and is the honor and face of the empire.

All the itineraries were designed and arranged by both parties in advance. If she ended the itinerary early, the royal family would definitely ask what happened.

The country being visited will also look for the reasons to see if there were any mistakes in the reception process.

If not handled properly, it may cause diplomatic accidents between countries.

A princess' trip is not a trip for ordinary people.

"It's okay, I'll figure out a way."

After hanging up the phone, Phoenix walked out of the lounge and said to Prince Constantine: "Your Highness, I want to apologize to you. The trip for the next two days may be cancelled."

"Cancel? We have made arrangements in advance. I also want to invite you to the Aegean Sea and Poseidon Geopark. I believe you will like it there."

"I'm really sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable." Phoenix's face was pale, as if he was seriously ill.

"Ah? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? I'll take you to the hospital. Or I'll ask the best doctor in our country to come over and check you out."

"No need." Fenghuang refused and said, "I think it's due to acclimatization. Just go back and rest for a few days."

"If that's the case, fine, I'll handle the rest." Constantine said gentlemanly: "Although we are not separated yet, I am already looking forward to seeing Her Highness the Princess again. I hope to wait until Her Highness the Princess's health is better. , can come to Seagate again and take a look.”

"I will definitely do it." Phoenix nodded in agreement.
-
After two slaps, two clear palm prints appeared on Shen Xinglan's face, and the entire left side of his face was purple.

After the spanking, Shen Boyu pulled a clean towel to wipe his hands, looked at Shen Xinglan and asked, "Are you willing to accept these two slaps?"

"I do." Shen Xinglan knelt on the ground, his spine still straight.

He could use the energy of yin and yang to resist damage, or use martial arts to erase traces, but he didn't do that.

He knew that the second grandfather slapped him not as physical punishment, but to wake him up.

If you really want corporal punishment, there is no need for Second Grandpa to take action. Just like Shen Qingping, he will send you directly to the ghost mountain.
This is corporal punishment!
"Do you know what you are doing?" Shen Boyu pulled up a chair and sat in front of Shen Xinglan and asked aloud.

"I know." Shen Xinglan raised his head and met Shen Boyu's eyes, with a frank look on his face.

"Why do you do this?" Shen Boyu then asked: "You are not an indecisive person, and you can make a move at critical moments. This is why the family values ​​you. A person with a soft heart and a thin skin cannot be the boss. Of the Lord. What? Did you really have a brotherhood with him?"

Shen Xinglan didn't respond.

"Do you know that Fen Huang is the person in your grandfather's pocket?"

"I know." Shen Xinglan nodded and admitted.

Grandpa is the Imperial Military Minister, and there are countless people hidden in the pocket.

This is why the Shen family is still elected as the first family in the empire even though they try their best to keep a low profile.

Without it, Shen Wuxiang holds the imperial military power.

If Shen Wuxiang does not step down from his position as the Imperial Military Minister, no one will dare to look down upon the Shen family.

Even the royal family is like this.Shen Boyu, who had always been kind-hearted and affable, also had a trace of anger on his face, and he shouted loudly: "He has been hiding it for so many years and never showed it to others easily. No matter how important the task is, he is not willing to let him handle it. The purpose is to cut off the connection between the Shen family and him."

"For you this time, he used Fenhuo. The mission is accomplished, that's it. That kid is dead, and you come back safely. Even if someone suspects him, there is no evidence. Who? Can we still force our Shen family to plead guilty?"

"It would be better for you to help outsiders kill him. That's a little grandmaster. Do you know how difficult it is to train a little grandmaster? Just to be killed by you like this?"

"The arrow is on the string and must be fired." Shen Xinglan said aloud.

Shen Boyu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Shen Xinglan and asked, "What do you mean?"

"When I left, Second Grandpa asked me to keep in touch with my family at all times. When I walked out of the burial ground and saw Fen Zhu, I knew that he was sent by Grandpa. He could send a little grandmaster to the old land. Only the royal family and the Shen family are so generous in ambush."

"You knew he was one of ours, why did you help that kid kill him? As long as you let him go a little bit, wouldn't that kid be dead?"

"Because he saved me." Shen Xinglan said aloud: "He saved my life in the burial ground. Therefore, even if I want to kill him, I have to wait until I repay his favor."

"I'll kill him sooner or later, so why do I need to repay the favor? It's unnecessary."

"That's different." Shen Xinglan said with a serious expression: "I owed him a favor, but I allowed him to be killed in front of me. Then I would have regrets and a vacancy in my heart. "

"The most important thing in practice is to focus on your mind. If your mind is not at ease and your thoughts are not smooth, it will hinder my improvement and lead me into confusion."

"So, I have to help him, and Fen Zhuo has to kill him."

"You" Shen Boyu originally wanted to scold, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that what Shen Xinglan said was true.

He is so proud that he does not allow himself to owe anyone anything.

I don't even bother to do that kind of sneaky and backstabbing thing.
If he does it, it will become a burden on his shoulders and a shackles on his heart.

On the contrary, it will damage his practice.

Shen Boyu sighed deeply and said: "Originally, this was something we had discussed before. We took this opportunity to deal with that kid. If we miss this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to touch him in the future."

Shen Xinglan looked up at Shen Boyu and said, "When the time comes, I will take action."

Shen Boyu shook his head and said: "That kid is as cunning as a loach, how can you have a chance to take action? Moreover, based on my understanding of him, even if you can kill him, I'm afraid he will almost destroy you. "

"Has he ever been taken advantage of in any matter since he came to Xinxing? Even the people in the palace were all beaten to death by him."

"Perhaps he is not as good as you in martial arts. But when it comes to survival ability through clever means, Xinglan, you are far inferior to him."

"If he continues to grow like this, it will be even more difficult to get rid of him."

Shen Xinglan was full of confidence and said: "If I kill him, I will definitely be able to kill him."

Shen Boyu stared at Shen Xinglan's expression for a while, nodded, and said: "Forget it, the matter has come to an end, and there is no use in talking more. You should also take advantage of this time to recuperate. Don't go to Bailu Academy for the time being. .”

"What are Second Grandpa worried about?" Shen Xinglan asked.

"If others can't understand this matter, how can Xuanyuan Mingjing not understand it? At his level, what else can a person like a god hide from him?"

"Are you afraid that Master will harm me?"

"That's not true." Shen Boyu shook his head and said, "When he recruited Tang Bandit, he already said that you need a catfish. He has long expected that the two of you will fight and fight."

"However, let's give everyone some time to relax. If you feel comfortable, so will he."

"Yes." Shen Xinglan nodded in agreement.

After a pause, he asked again: "Do you think Tang Bandit understands?"

Shen Boyu pondered for a moment and said, "He may understand, but he will pretend not to understand."

"I understand." Shen Xinglan said aloud.

Shen Boyu leaned back and leaned on the Taishi chair in a comfortable posture. He looked at Shen Xinglan and asked, "Did Bandit Tang talk about his life story in front of you during your trip?"

"I mentioned it once." Shen Xinglan responded aloud: "He said that he and his brother lived in the old land and depended on an old man."

"Our people went to Henshan. The residents of Henshan did say that there was such an old man, but he disappeared without a trace."

"Do you doubt the identity of Bandit Tang?" Shen Xinglan asked.

He knew that the Shen family had always paid close attention to the Tang bandits.

Pay more attention to yourself than yourself.

After all, in their opinion, many things that should have belonged to them were taken away because of the arrival of the Tang bandits.

They had previously conducted a detailed investigation into the identity and background of the Tang bandits, and later even sent people to the Jiutuhen Mountain area where the Tang bandits lived to find out information.

However, no useful information was obtained.

Why did the second grandfather ask about Tang Bandit's life experience again?

"I doubt the identity of that old man." Shen Boyu said aloud.

"Who do you suspect he is?"

"I suspect that the old man who raised Tang Bandit is Lu Yu." Shen Boyu responded in a deep voice: "Lu Yu, a genius mechanic who is also known as the twin walls of the empire with Tang Li."

"Lu Yu?" Shen Xinglan looked at Shen Boyu with wide eyes. He was very aware of the weight of this name and asked aloud: "Why did the second grandfather suspect it was him? Didn't he die long ago?"

"He just disappeared suddenly. Who knows whether he is dead or alive?"

Shen Boyu's face showed a look of reminiscence, he looked at Shen Xinglan and said: "Tang Li is a spiritual genius, just like you now, and Lu Yu is the god of machinery. Anything in his hands can be transformed into new patterns. , they invented countless things and at that time, they were the two most prominent people in the country.”

"The late emperor was very fond of these two people and called them the twin walls of the empire. He said that with Lu Yu in literature and Tang Li in military affairs, the empire would have no worries. Because of Tang Li's rebellion, he was also implicated, although he was saved by the Lu family. He lost his life, but lived in seclusion in Nanshan, being depressed and drinking all day long."

"Why did you disappear without a trace later?"

"Hehe, then you have to ask the person above." Shen Boyu said with a sarcastic smile on his lips: "I am jealous of his ability and want to use his talent. He has been recruited to serve the country many times, but he has not accepted the call. "

"The last one got anxious and said that if you don't answer the call again, Tang Li will be punished for being a traitor to the party, and he disappeared without a trace."

Shen Xinglan was silent for a moment and praised: "This person has quite a character."

"How much is the character of character worth? There are so many people with character, I don't know how many of them have been chopped off with knives."

"Why does Second Grandpa suspect it's him?"
