Star Sea Hunter

Regarding the marshal's request, this veteran general who had gone through several dynasties and had qualifications comparable to Gurungs's had a look of worry in his eyes, but he did not express any objection, and he readily agreed.

However, his strangeness did not escape Yu Xinzhe's eyes. After he continued to explain all the official duties to the officers present calmly, the marshal decided to invite them to the small meeting room next to him for a talk.

Guo Qiuxian was as good as good, and after entering the door, he did not speak first, but calmly looked at the young commander of the Southwest Xinghai attack group.

Yu Xinzhe unhurriedly took out a set of tea sets from the cupboard in the corner, and got busy skillfully. After a while, two cups of hot tea with a faint fragrance appeared on the table.

"This Biluochun is a special product from the earth. It is rare to see it now. It was given to me by His Majesty before the expedition!" He pushed one of the cups in front of Guo Qiuxian and introduced it with a smile.

The admiral nodded, picked it up and took a symbolic sip, then put it down gently, still looking at him.

Seeing his reaction like this, the smile on the Marshal's face subsided slightly, and he finally asked seriously: "General, do you think my decision is inappropriate?"

"Of course," Guo Qiuxian said calmly, "Your Excellency the Marshal, as the supreme commander of the Southwest Xinghai Cluster, it is not a wise decision to let go of business at this time and go to the muddy waters of the imperial capital!"

"Yes, this decision is not only not wise, but quite stupid!" Yu Xinzhe said frankly, "Early before going out for the expedition, His Majesty warned me that no matter what happens to the emperor in the future, I can't go back without authorization, as long as I fight my battle All right!"

As he said that, before the admiral questioned him, he continued:

"Perhaps on that day, His Majesty had a premonition of the current situation. Such a big change happened on the eastern battlefield, and when the victory of the imperial army was in sight, His Majesty was unexpectedly trapped, causing the empire, which was in a good situation, to suddenly face a great crisis. ! Those young people in the imperial capital took advantage of the opportunity to stir up wind and rain, and even seriously threatened the unity and stability of the empire!"

"Your Majesty and the Empress saved my family's life back then. At this moment, I can't sit back and watch Your Majesty's foundation be destroyed. Therefore, I have to go back!"

Guo Qiuxian was silent for a while, and said: "Don't you think that since your majesty was trapped, the queen's state has become a little abnormal? These days, we have received more than one or two messages from the imperial capital. Apart from the queen, there are also Concubine Feng Lanxi, the Prime Minister of the Empire, and the new Randall, plus some other great nobles!"

"Judging from their respective intentions, except for Feng Lanxi and Yang Wentao who are trying their best to rescue His Majesty, the rest of the forces have their own schemes, and Marshal Gulongsi and a large number of important officials of the empire are blocked in various parts of the empire. I can’t go back to the imperial capital! There have even been large-scale wars among the factions recently!”

"The situation in this imperial capital is already too chaotic. If you go back and join hands this time, what will it turn into in the end?"

Yu Xinzhe looked up at him and said: "I said before, Your Majesty and the Empress have the grace to save my life, so when the empire undergoes a sudden change, I must go back to protect Your Majesty's heirs and foundation."

The admiral slightly raised his eyebrows, and asked bluntly, "What are you going to do?"

"First of all, of course, try to rescue His Majesty. If this proves to be unfeasible and His Majesty has indeed fallen, then I will support the little princess to ascend the throne!" Yu Xinzhe did not hide his plan.

"Is this Empress Xiao's idea?" Guo Qiuxian sighed, "It's no wonder that after Empress Fang disappeared, her authority was not enough to mobilize you. If it wasn't out of personal favor, how could you agree to her request? ?”

"Yes!" Yu Xinzhe said with a smile, "and general, aren't you the same? You were originally guarding the Northeast Xinghai. Your Majesty, how could you accept such an unreasonable order?"

"It's not so easy for me to come here!" Guo Qiuxian's voice turned cold, "Randall ordered some of my guys to try to make trouble, but I happened to find out and killed them all in advance, so that we can start the journey smoothly! Marshal Luo Hanxing also encountered some troubles, but he should be arriving in the imperial capital soon!"

Immediately, he stared at the famous general who was much younger than himself but had a higher rank than him, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Excellency Marshal, we have worked together for a while before, so I am quite convinced of your character. If you go to the imperial capital, you will be fine with an open spear. You have the ability to defuse it! As for the hidden arrow, it is difficult to guard against! I am only worried that you will be used by some people with ulterior motives, and the final fate is really unpredictable!"

"So let me remind you one last thing, it's too late to regret it now, the battlefield in the imperial capital is not a place suitable for you to play!"

Yu Xinzhe seemed to be hesitant, but after only a moment, he still said firmly: "I have made up my mind, regardless of life or death, honor or disgrace, I must go back to this imperial capital!"

"Alright then! Young man, take care!" Guo Qiuxian sighed and stopped trying to persuade him.

The reason why he did not resolutely oppose this matter is because Tian Xuanhao and Cameron also acquiesced in this matter. In the opinion of these military officials, the disputes in the imperial capital have endangered the survival of the imperial regime. This goes on!

It is said that the current situation of the empire has deteriorated. In the territory of the three major countries in the Southwest Xinghaiyuan, many forces have taken advantage of the situation and openly announced that they will break away from the territory of the empire and stand on their own. The fleet couldn't be suppressed at all, and even several governors of the star field were brutally killed by the rebels in public!

Although similar situations have not happened in more star fields, there are still undercurrents and the situation is not optimistic, and even many officials in the frontiers have begun to break up the idea of ​​​​separating the land!

After all, the foundation of the empire is too shallow. It only takes a few days for these newly acquired lands to be brought under the rule of the central government, and the complete surrender and recognition of the people is a long-term process. Those power groups whose interests have been damaged during the unification process They will not be willing to lose everything they have, as long as there is a chance, they will definitely get up and dance!

Before His Majesty was here, this was not a problem.But now that His Majesty has an accident, the various forces in the imperial capital are vying for power, and they immediately see the hope of making a comeback. How can there be no reason not to take the opportunity to make trouble?

If this chaos continues for a while, more and more forces will not be able to suppress their ambitions and desires, thus participating in this unprecedented power struggle, and the situation will become even more difficult to handle!That's why these military bosses who are outside the army and are still loyal to the empire have secretly reached a tacit agreement, trying to use tough methods to suppress those evil forces and end the chaos in the imperial capital.

……

"Great, Yu Xinzhe has led the army to set off!" In the Empress Palace, Xiao Wuji couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the message from the Southwest Front.

The Xiao family members present, as well as the officials and nobles who were loyal to the queen, also breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period of time, several forces have confronted each other openly and secretly, but none of them has the upper hand. The root cause is that there are not enough troops and there is not enough support from the high-level military, so they can only take a defensive position.

But with the help of this famous general who holds a heavy army, the stalemate situation in the imperial capital will immediately undergo a fundamental change. They are their opponents. At that time, the little princess will be able to ascend the throne, and they will be able to rectify their names.

"Marshal Yu Xinzhe brought back 500 million warships this time, which is enough to deal with these rebels in the imperial capital!" Xiao Wenyue laughed, "But that Su Shangqing was trapped in the Lixin Starfield in the Southwest Xinghai, and he held the The largest intelligence force in the empire can allow the Marshal to rescue him, so that the Imperial Security Department will also stand on our side, and we will be more confident in planning big things!"

"Well, that's a good idea!" Xiao Wuji agreed.

Then, they excitedly started discussing the matter of rewards for meritorious deeds after the princess ascended the throne. The Xiao family, as the party that contributed the most to the new emperor's throne, should of course receive the most generous rewards. The remaining powerful figures with high status should at least be given the position of duke, and the distribution of the territory should be the most affluent star field!

Of course, in order to ensure the long-term interests of the Xiao family, it is time to arrange for the little princess to choose the future queen wife, and it must be selected from other direct descendants of the family, so as to ensure the effective control of the family over the empire!

It's just that what they didn't notice was that Xiao Muhan on the throne looked indifferent, and didn't say a word to the heated discussions of the clansmen.

……

Wangfu, in the study.

Zhong Mingrui walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, his face was terribly gloomy.

Yu Hongling sat silently aside with her pretty face tensed.More than a dozen civil and military officials from the prince's faction were also present, and the atmosphere in the room seemed oppressive and dull.

"The five dead starships are really all destroyed?" After an embarrassing silence, the prince finally asked again.

Zhu Yin said cautiously: "Yes, Your Highness, I have repeatedly confirmed that the five death starships have been severely damaged, and they are basically unable to go into battle!"

That day, he led the fleet to take down Base Zero after suffering a lot of casualties, but when he finally boarded one of the Death Starships, he found that this powerful weapon of the country was completely unusable.

The core optical brain of the Death Starship has been completely locked, all the control chips have been disassembled and taken away, and more than ten key components of the energy reactor have been disassembled or damaged irreparably. The fire control system and other The main chips of many important functional systems are also missing!

In other words, this dead starship has completely lost the ability to launch into the air.

Frightened, he immediately checked the other dead starships, and found that they all had exactly the same results!These sharp weapons of the country were tampered with beforehand, and they were totally fooled!

(It will be issued before twelve o'clock in the next update.)
