Star Sea Hunter

"You were on a business trip, and you came back like this! Is the situation in Xinghai in the northeast already so bad?"

In the imperial concubine's bedroom, Luo Qingyue looked at her elder brother opposite, and asked in disbelief.

The aura emanating from Luo Hanxing's body was dim and fluctuating, obviously the injury he suffered was serious!He put down the coffee cup in his hand, spread his hands, and showed a helpless smile:

"It's not that the situation is unstable, but that group of volleyballs! I felt something was wrong before, but now it seems that it's not just the former Federation that has problems! Southern Border, Prison Soul Xinghai, and the southwest That big piece of land! I'm afraid there are some restless forces secretly stirring up the wind and rain!"

"This is for sure! These places have been included in the empire's territory for a few years, and there must be a lot of survivors and survivors of the previous regime! As long as they are in a normal state, how can they accept the day of losing power? But if there is any possibility, they must clean up Let's do something!" She frowned and said, "You just went to see His Majesty, what is his plan?"

Luo Hanxing said: "After learning about this, His Majesty has decided to send more people to cooperate with Admiral Guo Qiuxian to carry out a comprehensive cleansing of the Northeast Xinghai! Of course, the investigation work in other parts of the empire will also start immediately. Anyone with problems or Power, can't let it go!"

"It should be so!" She snorted coldly, "Now that the war is imminent, if at the critical moment, these damned guys jump out to make trouble and affect the unification plan of the empire, then there is no redemption! This is an opportunity to clean it up!"

A few months ago, Yun Haoyu learned that in Northeast Xinghai, the situation in the original Xuanluo Federation was not stable, and some underground organizations secretly fanned the flames, causing some disturbances, and there were faint signs of instigation and support from foreign races behind it!So he decided to send Luo Hanxing to the local area to investigate the situation.

After the big boss of the intelligence system passed by, he made an open and secret investigation, and found a lot of doubts within a few days!After careful investigation, a major corruption and smuggling case involving hundreds of billions of source crystals was unearthed!And it involves two provincial governors, an imperial lieutenant general, and a large number of middle and senior officials!

These guys sold a large amount of strategic resources such as rare metals and high-purity energy spars produced locally to the Zhanying Clan at a low price, and then resold them to the Ganasrock Empire!Furthermore, the fifth-level and sixth-level gene optimization reagents distributed to the military by the central government of the empire were secretly embezzled and embezzled a lot, and then quietly resold them to the Gnasrock Empire at a high price!

Thanks to the advanced production technology of Starlight Empire, the cost of five-level and six-level optimized potions has been greatly reduced, and the refining cost of each one is only hundreds of source crystals!But in the Gnasrock Empire, their technology is still at the same level as before. The refining cost of a potion is as high as tens of thousands of source crystals, and the selling price is millions of source crystals!

In this way, many greedy guys saw the amazing profit margins contained in it, and then used their brains!In less than half a year, at least thousands of potions were resold by them to the Genesrock Empire at a unit price of hundreds of thousands of source crystals!

There are also various new equipment of the empire, such as space fighters, individual mechas, pocket-sized hyperspace communicators, high-level supernatural equipment, etc., all within the scope of their resale!This group of daring guys even dared to make plans for the main battleships of the Qianyuan class and the Kunyi class!By falsely reporting battle losses, the various equipment sold in the past few months is enough to form half of the main army!Naturally, the huge profits obtained were divided up layer by layer, and all of them went into private pockets!

After learning the truth, Luo Hanxing was greatly shocked, and immediately organized elite personnel to investigate strictly!In this way, those officials who have problems can't sit still!After coercion and lures were ineffective, the leaders knew that they would never be spared, so they decided to take the risk and colluded with the powerful members of the Zhanying clan, trying to assassinate this important imperial official with the rank of marshal!

While he was leaving the station to investigate, those guys made a move!After a fierce battle, the accompanying guards suffered heavy casualties, even himself was seriously injured!Fortunately, Guo Qiuxian, the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Xinghai Garrison, received the message and led the reinforcements to arrive in time, besieging and capturing almost all the strong Zhanying clan present!

Through the interrogation of the captured living, this shocking corruption and smuggling network was finally fully exposed!None of the officials involved escaped!Most of the middle- and lower-level officials have unclear relationships with various local forces.

Yun Haoyu was extremely annoyed when he learned of this, and severely reprimanded Guo Qiuxian for his dereliction of duty in the upper edict!With such a big case under my nose, no matter whether I knew about it in advance or not, I can't get away with a charge of dereliction of duty!

Moreover, this matter also aroused his vigilance. Since such an astonishing corruption case has appeared in the Northeast Xinghai, it is hard to say that the officials in other places must be clean!Therefore, a comprehensive inventory of all regions has become a very necessary option!

After these years of development, the power of the empire's intelligence system has been extremely developed, but for those newly harvested places far away from the power center, it is still impossible to achieve the point of keeping everything secret like the empire itself.Therefore, we still have to rely on the power of clone organizations to ensure the effective monitoring of these important areas.

This is also a helpless thing. The history of the empire is not long after all. It is simply a mistake to bring all these vast territories that belonged to different countries and political forces under the effective control of the imperial government in just a few years. Possible tasks!Even though their ability to resist has been completely destroyed militarily, in the dark, the influence of these "local snakes" is still not small.

For these people, in order not to cause too much turmoil, the previous imperial government has always adopted a policy of appeasement and differentiation and infiltration. It intends to use this gentle method to gradually bring these regions into the effective ruling system of the empire.And these local forces that have been broken into pieces, frightened by the military power of the empire, they all chose to cooperate at first!

But only a few years later, these guys who thought they had regained some vitality saw that the battle of unification was approaching, and the attention of the top management of the empire was all on preparations, and they felt that the opportunity had come, and they began to move around.

In their eyes, this is the last chance to come back.If the empire continues to defeat the enemy quickly and win the victory as before, there will be no force in the entire star sea world that can confront the empire. The people!And this is an absolutely unacceptable result for them.

Therefore, Yun Haoyu decided to mobilize a large number of elites from the intelligence system and rush to various places to conduct secret investigations. No matter who or what forces are involved, they must be investigated to the end!Those who encounter violent resistance can be executed on the spot without reporting to the imperial capital!They even have the power to mobilize local garrisons to assist in suppression when necessary.

"The final decisive battle is coming, and the most important thing for the empire at present is to prepare for this crucial battle! Unification is the most important task of the empire at present, and it is also a manifestation of the unwavering will of the entire empire! Everything violates this The person or thing of the will must be smashed resolutely and decisively! No matter who he is, how powerful he is, and his background, there is no exception!" The emperor said in the court hall.

Therefore, before the battle of unification started, the imperial government, like the Gnasrock Empire, showed its butcher knife in order to maintain domestic stability.It's just that, unlike the violent Ulyonov IV, the target of the empire's knife is the restless officials and the local forces behind them, not the common people.

"It seems that you have to be busy again for a while!" Luo Qingyue frowned, "But your injuries have not recovered yet, can you hold on? Shall I tell His Majesty to let you rest for a while? Going out again someday?"

"That's not necessary," Luo Hanxing shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has already given you a lot of healing elixir, and promised to let me pick two supernatural legions from the imperial guards to take away, and fifty royals to worship, There is enough guarantee for safety, you don't have to worry about me."

As he spoke, he looked at his sister's gradually swelling abdomen, and said with concern:

"Don't tire yourself too much these days. If you can be lazy about some things, just be lazy! It's hard to get pregnant, and the safety of the child comes first! Except for the queen, you are the only pregnant woman in this palace right now." Body, there are some things... um! I don't need to remind you!"

"Don't worry, I'm not an idiot who doesn't know anything! Your Majesty and the two empresses also have sharp eyes. Anyone who dares to make trouble under their noses has not yet been born!" Luo Qingyue gently stroked her cheeks. Belly, with a peaceful smile on his face.

Luo Hanxing hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but said: "Do you think, after this child is born, will it have some impact on the current court situation?"

"...What do you want to say?" Luo Qingyue frowned, looking at him suspiciously.

"I mean, if this child can be favored by His Majesty, in the future... will it be possible to surpass the one under Empress Xiao's knee? If she can become the first in line heir, it will benefit you, but... "Luo Hanxing looked around and saw that there was no one around, and finally said tentatively.

It is a tradition in the court that mothers are more valuable than children. The status of the little princess is high. As a mother concubine, she may not be able to go further.As the elder brother, he felt that he had an obligation to do something, to prepare for his unborn niece, so that she would have certain advantages and be able to take the lead in the future competition for big positions!

Currently there are only these two princesses in the palace, but His Majesty is still young. Even if the probability is low, there will always be a new heir born in the future. If they can manage it early, they will always have some advantages.

He is in charge of the huge intelligence force of the empire, and it is easy to arrange some unique resources for the princess in advance.When she grows up, these things can become an important hole card and provide great help for her future development.

Luo Qingyue's expression changed slightly, and she said solemnly: "Don't you think it's too early to say this now? The future status of the little princess depends mostly on her own achievements. It's not that you don't understand His Majesty's temperament. So, don't think about some ideas that you shouldn't have!"

"Hey! Isn't it all for you?" Luo Hanxing said helplessly, "You also understand that existence like us is not recognized by the mainstream society! Although His Majesty has promulgated relevant laws and regulations, Clones enjoy the same rights as normal people, but there are still many people in the court who disagree with His Majesty's decision."

"Now His Majesty favors us because he still needs the power of clones to stabilize the situation! Once the world is settled in the future, the use value of us heroes will be exhausted. At that time, will he continue to be as he is now? I love you so much? It's really hard to say how much power your brother and I can have."

"So I did this for no other purpose, just to protect myself. Only when the princess' status is strengthened, can we not be neglected by His Majesty, isn't it?"

Luo Qingyue fell silent, staring at her belly for a long time without making a sound.Brother's words are not without reason. Since ancient times, it has been said that kings are ungrateful and merciless. When they are useful, they will be favored and treated with all kinds of courtesy. Once the value of use is no longer there, they will turn their faces and be ruthless. They will kill or abandon them without the slightest hesitation.

Of course, this is the prerogative of the strong, and no one is qualified to accuse them of anything.It's just that this is not good news for me and the little princess.

Once my Majesty's temperament changes, it is unknown what will happen to them.For thousands of years in the star sea world, there have been many such examples.There is almost no king who can stick to his heart as always!

So, it seems to be a good choice to make some plans for the future of yourself and the little princess while the holy family is in full swing?With her brain, of course, she would not think that it is a wise idea to entrust her own safety, honor and disgrace to someone.

"That's what I said, but... don't think about it right now!" The imperial concubine thought over and over again, and finally shook her head and rejected her brother's proposal:

"Based on what I know about him, he is not the kind of mean-spirited and cold-tempered person, at least not yet. Therefore, we'd better not be too hasty about some things, so as not to be self-defeating and cause unnecessary troubles trouble!"

Luo Hanxing sighed, and stopped insisting: "Okay then! It's getting late, so I'll go back right away. I don't know how many months I will be able to come back for this errand!"

"At that time, your niece should be born!" She laughed, "You uncle, remember to prepare presents!"

The two brothers and sisters didn't know that the future situation of the empire would change rapidly and violently, this time was the last time they would meet, and this trip would be a farewell forever!

----------------------- "Your Majesty, this is the details of the new "civilization fire" plan drawn up by Chen et al. Please read it over, if there is anything that needs to be adjusted Yes, I will arrange it immediately."

In the imperial study room, Crassus presented the dossier in front of Yun Haoyu.
