Chapter 451 Not suitable for children!

Xiqi Mountain.

This is the location of the Shen family’s ancestral home.

It is said that during the great migration period, they brought the tablets and ashes of the ancestors of the Shen family to Xinxing, and reburied them in the majestic and spectacular Xiqi Mountain, carved steles and built temples, and worshiped day and night.

You see, even at the end of the world, the boat tickets that ordinary people dream of may be casually given to their dogs by those upper-class people.
And those relatives who have passed away.

In the past, the Shen family also used the proverb "The Phoenix landed on Xiqi Mountain" to bind the CP between the Phoenix and Shen Xinglan, and deepen the relationship between the Shen family and the royal family.

Today, Xiqi Mountain has a new definition and is respected by countless people as the "Dragon's Rise Place".

Yes, everyone knows that no matter who is standing on the stage, the Shen family is the master of this country.

Zhong Tianque.
Just a puppet!

If it weren't for the support of Grandmaster Zhong Daoling and the Phoenix Army, it would be unknown whether he could survive.

However, Zhong Daoling will die, and the generals of the Phoenix Army will rebel.
No one is optimistic about the future of the Zhong royal family.

What’s more, the Phoenix Palace was razed to the ground, and the former king Zhong Daolong and countless members of the Zhong royal family were buried there.

The landmark that symbolizes the imperial power and the substantial embodiment of the imperial power, the ruler of the country, have disappeared.

Is this country still named Zhong?

Xiqi Camp.

This is a military fortress of the Phoenix Empire. It can protect Phoenix City to the east and resist the invasion of Oss to the north.

To the west is the Empire's largest aerial port, the Broken Star Abyss, which leads to the vast galaxy, and to the south is the boundless Sun Never Sets Sea.
When Shen Wuxiang first proposed to station a large army here, many people questioned whether he wanted to defend the empire or protect his ancestral tomb.
All those who protested and questioned disappeared.

Shen Wuxiang always boasted that he was born a warrior, had never read any books, and had no cultural background.
So his way of dealing with things is relatively simple and crude:
If I can't solve the problem, then I'll solve the person who created the problem.

Go straight to the source and eradicate the problem completely.

As a result, countless people began to be wary and afraid of this warrior.

To cater to, to follow, to work like a slave, and no one dares to resist.

An uneducated person pretending to be educated is just a paper tiger and is not scary at all.

With limited IQ, how bad can one be?
The most cultured people conquer the world in the most uncultured way.
That is a dimensionality reduction attack.

This will make people tremble with fear and their hair stand on end.

Shen Wuxiang has been stationed in the Xiqi camp for some time, and many chores in Phoenix City are handled by Zhong Tianque and other members of the Shen family.

With Shen Boyu in charge of Luojia Mountain, no one can cause any trouble.

Even if there are some conflicts or noises, they are just some dust.

Nothing will go wrong.

Because he knew better than anyone that within the range of artillery fire, his words were the truth.

Therefore, he personally controlled the artillery position in the Xiqi camp.

Shen Wuxiang and his staff have been extremely busy recently. This is the aftereffect of "acting recklessly".

The Lu family evacuated Luban Mountain and blew up the research institutes and all military facilities inside.

However, the core of Lu's company is scientific research talents and scientific and technological achievements that have been researched.
This is something that is difficult to measure no matter how much money is spent.

Where did they go?

Was it completely accepted and digested by the Qin family?
If that's the case, Qin got a great bargain.

The Qin family also left Phoenix City and headed for Zhaoling, their military base.

This is the northwestern city of the empire, bordering the Oss Empire to the north, the Kaman Federation to the south, and the endless Himalayas next to it.
This was originally an important military base of the Yuhuo Army. It was later managed by Qin Wuxin, the ancestor of the Qin family, for decades. It can almost be said to be the army of the Qin clan.

Originally, there were some generals from other forces who were fighting against him, but after Shen Wuxiang bombarded the Phoenix Palace, rounds of bloody purges were carried out inside.

Either he is one of us, or he is dead.

It's not like you weren't given a chance to choose, right?
Of course, bloody purges were also being carried out in all the major military districts of the empire.

When war is about to start, we must first eliminate the "internal thieves".

Anyone who is not one of us is our enemy.

However, for those ordinary soldiers and junior officers, they were not anyone's people, they were just individuals.
Who made you follow the wrong leader?
One will be a million bones.

The withered bones did not all die at the hands of the enemy, some died at the hands of their own people.

"We have to fight. We need to use a huge victory to silence the gossips and bury the little tricks in the hearts of those ambitious people."

"Fight? How should we fight? If we lose, we will suffer heavy losses and public opinion will be even worse. If we win, they will hide in the Himalayas. Or they will directly form an alliance with the Oss Empire and cause chaos on the border. In the end, won't we be the ones who suffer?"

"If we don't fight, are we going to let them recruit soldiers and grow stronger in Zhaoling? When they become giants, it won't be us who want to fight them, but they will want to fight us."

"Zhaoling is located in a remote area, with poor resources, no military industry and no energy. How did they develop?"

"Besides, even a cornered dog will jump over the wall, and even a cornered rabbit will bite. If we push them into a corner, they will feel that they have no way out, so won't they fight us to the death?"

"If they risk their lives, then they will. I am afraid that they are not manly enough. What? Are you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid. I want to achieve the greatest victory with the smallest sacrifice."

"How can victory be achieved without bloodshed? If you don't dare to do it, leave it to us, the 245th Army."

"Who are we, the Royal Navy, afraid of? No, we will go first."
-
Shen Wuxiang sat upright on the huge armchair, allowing the generals and staff officers in front of him to argue endlessly.

Now everyone is divided into three factions. One group advocates war, one group advocates a gradual approach, and the other group thinks that the political results should be reaped first, and the small Zhaoling Mausoleum is not within the scope of their discussion.

In fact, Shen Wuxiang was also hesitant.

In his opinion, it would be better to take over Zhaoling in one fell swoop and destroy the Qin family.

Raising a tiger will only bring harm to you if you don’t give them the opportunity to grow and develop.

What's more, they now have the support of Lu's black technology.
In the past, everyone was trying desperately to suppress the Lu family's influence in the military, leaving them with technology but no military support.

Now that everyone has overturned the table, the imperial power can hardly have an impact on them.

So, can they also increase their troops crazily?

Even if I don't recruit a team, I can arm Qin's existing army.
It gives me a headache just thinking about it.

Although Shen seemed to have the initiative, in fact, he was not too proactive.

Except for the obvious enemies Qin and Lu.
Other forces are also watching covetously and making secret plans.

Who knows when it will jump out and bite you?
What is even more unacceptable is that Tang Fei and his men actually escaped to Blue Star through the secret passage of Phoenix Palace.
The abandoned planet that I have always ignored.

It would be best if they could die there.

He had no interest in it, not at all.

Now that you're gone, never come back.

I'm afraid that the Qin and Lu families will find an opportunity and take them back.
This is also a tricky thing.

He would not allow another heir to the Zhong royal family to appear.

He also did not allow Zhong Daolong to come back and say that I support the second prince Zhong Tianyi, and that Zhong Tianque killed his father and committed treason, which is unforgivable.
Shen Wuxiang felt that he was tricked by that old guy.

He pushed Shen to a high position and made her a target for thousands of arrows.

Although all these choices were his, he always felt that all of this was planned by that old man.

Are the two pillars of the empire really that powerful?
Even though he has been dead for decades, he still has countless loyal fans.

One who takes the initiative and hangs Shen on the grill?

Shen Wuxiang is not reckless. If he were, he would not be able to sit in this position.

However, it was not until this moment that he realized his dangerous situation and that he was walking on thin ice.

If he is not careful, the fruits of victory will slip away. At this moment, a confidential secretary walked up to him and reported in a low voice.

Shen Wuxiang raised his head, looked at the confidential secretary and asked, "Where is the person?"

"Imprisoned in the Weisuo Prison."

"Who told you to put him in jail?" Shen Wuxiang asked expressionlessly, his words expressing his extreme dissatisfaction with this result.

The confidential secretary's face instantly turned red, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he apologized immediately: "I admit my guilt."

Don't explain, explanation is justification.

The military minister only looks at the results.

If you don't do things well, you are guilty of dereliction of duty.

"Take him to Tingfeng Hall and wait for me." Shen Wuxiang did not scold the confidential secretary, but spoke out.

He also knew that this would make it difficult for those below him, because that person's identity was very special. Before he classified him, his identity was a "traitor to the party."

"Yes."

The confidential secretary responded, saluted, and turned to leave.

Shen Wuxiang glanced at the noisy operations room, stood up and walked outside.

The people who were discussing fiercely looked at each other in bewilderment. Didn't they say that they had to come to a conclusion today? Why did the boss leave first?
Do they still want to 'perform'?
Listening to the wind.

When Shen Wuxiang walked in with a group of fierce men, walking like a dragon and a tiger, an old man with white hair and beard and an old lady with a graceful posture and ordinary clothes stood in front of the window.

The two of them were looking at the strange rocks and pines in the mountain stream and the changing clouds through the pear wood round window.

Tingfeng Hall is built against the cliff. When you open the window, you can see the distant mountains and flowing clouds. The cliff is filled with fog and rolling black clouds, and you can't see the end at a glance.

The old lady snuggled up to the old man and pointed at the clouds that had transformed into various small animals, as if she was here for a tour and to enjoy the scenery.

"President Shang is in a good mood."

Shen Wuxiang stood behind the two of them and praised them out loud.

Shang Xiulin turned around, looked at Shen Wuxiang and said, "I am usually busy with official duties, and rarely have the opportunity to accompany my wife for a walk. Now that I am free from my official duties, I can finally take her out for a walk."

"I really envy the relationship between the virtuous couple."

"There's nothing to envy. They're just dead trees and rotten leaves that are about to be buried in the ground."

Shen Wuxiang looked at Shang Xiulin thoughtfully and asked, "Do you want me to kill you?"

Shang Xiulin was also examining Shen Wuxiang, and asked, "Why does the military minister ask this?"

"I know you've already left. You clearly had the opportunity to board the ship, so why did you stay?"

"What's so good about Old Earth? It's a dilapidated planet with nothing. It's better to stay and watch the military minister controlling the national tripod with great vigor and style."

Shen Wuxiang sighed softly and said, "If you really think so, it is a blessing for me, Shen Wuxiang, and also for the empire. You should know that the door of the Shen family is always open to you."

"If the business president is willing, the position of Minister of Education will be waiting for you."

"The military minister is too stingy. Zhong Daolong promised me the position of civil minister back then."

"I am also willing to grant you the position of Minister of Literature, but you must also let me know that you are my friend, Shen Wuxiang, and a friend of the Shen family."

"But Dean Shang has always treated us as enemies. The Prime Minister is the most powerful and influential person in the government. How can I hand over such an important position to someone who sees me as an enemy? Isn't that digging my own grave?"

"Zhuge was cautious throughout his life, and his military leadership was no less than that of Kong Ming."

"It's better to be safe than sorry. If I hadn't been more careful, my head would have been chopped off long ago."

Shang Xiulin pointed at the group of guards behind him and said with a smile, "So the military minister's trips are always so grand?"

"I've made the dean laugh." Shen Wuxiang was not ashamed of this, and explained calmly: "I know how important I am, and I also know that there are countless people who want to chop off my head. So, it's always good to have more people around me. One more person means more strength. Don't you think this is the truth, dean?"

"That's indeed the case." Shang Xiulin nodded.

Shen Wuxiang looked at Shang Xiulin with a sincere expression and said, "I really envy Tang Li."

"Hmm? A traitor is despised by the people and will be infamous for eternity. Why would the military minister envy such a person?"

"He can make people like the dean willing to die for him."

"The military minister wants to kill me?"

"I do want to kill you."
-
Multigrain porridge, boiled cassava, and a dish of pickled wild radish leaves.

This is Tang Fei's favorite breakfast.

Xiaopang likes it too.

He sat opposite Tang Fei, ate seven cassavas in a row, and gulped down the rice porridge in his bowl.

After eating another cassava and finishing the rice in the bowl, he looked at Tang Fei with a satisfied look and said, "Brother, I haven't eaten cassava and wild radish leaves for a long time. They are delicious."

"."

Tang Fei looked at Xiao Pang in silence.

When you were in Xinxing, you also said that the snow beef, tri-color chicken, dragon bone fish, and Luojia Lake crabs were delicious.

The main goal is to not be picky about food?

Seeing that Tang Fei didn't say anything, Xiao Pang asked, "Brother, when are you going to see Sister An Ning?"

A few days ago, Wang Tianlong had contacted Tang Fei through special channels, but at that time Tang Fei still needed to lie in bed and recuperate.

Now that he was feeling better, he asked An Ning to meet him.

After all, there is a food shortage in the base.

"Tonight." said Tang Fei.

"Ah? Tonight? But you're not well yet, how about letting her come to see you?"

"No." Tang Fei refused and said, "An Ning has a special status now, and we can't let her come in openly. Let's meet in a small forest in private."

When we lived in the old land, if there was something they didn't want the adults to know, the children would run into the woods to plot.

The grove specifically refers to the children's 'workplace'.

"How about I go meet Sister An Ning for you? Just tell me what you want to talk about. Sister An Ning and I are also familiar with each other." Xiaopang said enthusiastically.

He was really worried about his elder brother's health.

Although he can sit up now, his injuries have not yet fully healed.

If you are not careful, the condition will get worse.

Tang Fei refused again and said, "What we want to talk about is not suitable for children. Children cannot listen to it."

"Ah?" Xiaopang was shocked and said, "Brother, this is not good, right? Sister Fenghuang is still here."

"Besides, the doctor also said that you can't do strenuous exercise during the recuperation period."

"."

This time it was Tang Fei's turn to look at Xiao Pang in surprise.

This kid.
Was he watching some pay-per-view channel on TV?
Just watch it?

Why not invite yourself along?
One recharge benefits both parties.

When good things happen, don’t you think of your brothers?

I even often cook delicious food for him.
