Mech infantry

Chapter 556
"My lord, His Royal Highness is here again."

Hearing the maid's report, Cai Hongzhang frowned slightly, but it gave him another attractive temperament. Suddenly, several maids around him widened their eyes at the same time, and their fascinated eyes never left him.

"Forget it, let's meet." Cai Hongzhang stood up, "Please come in, His Royal Highness... No, I'll go by myself."

Let's talk, he tidied up his clothes a bit, then strode towards the door.

"I have seen His Royal Highness."

Seeing Chu Xiujing outside the door, Cai Hongzhang bowed solemnly and saluted.Chu Xiujing originally had a gloomy face, but at this moment it suddenly turned into a smiling face, and she stepped forward to lift Chu Xiuying up, and said kindly: "Cai Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, have you forgotten, I let you see me, I don't have to Salute."

Cai Hongzhang straightened his face, and said loudly: "The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. The minister is a minister of Chu and Tang, so he must set an example for other officials and the people."

"You saved my life. After Chu and Tang Dynasties, I will rely on Cai Aiqing to prosper. It can be said that the only person I can rely on now is Cai Aiqing." I shouldn't have bothered you, since I've come, I already feel sorry for Cai Aiqing, and I want you to salute, I'm really sorry."

Cai Hongzhang sneered in his heart: If I really didn't salute you, I'm afraid you wouldn't trust me so much in your heart.Thinking of this, Cai Hongzhang was still as humble as before: "It won't be long before the crown prince is about to ascend the throne. If I develop the habit of not saluting with His Royal Highness, I'm afraid I will inevitably forget etiquette at that time, although His Royal Highness Broad-minded and informal, it is inevitable that some officials do not understand the mind of His Highness the Crown Prince, and impeaching his ministers may cause unnecessary disputes and affect the internal stability of our Chu and Tang Dynasties."

"Forget it, since you insist on this, let it go with you."

Chu Xiuting seemed a little impatient, walked into Cai Hongzhang's office, looked it up, and immediately frowned, "Why do you work here? It's broken and small, and there aren't even many flowers?"

Cai Hongzhang's office didn't look luxurious at all, it looked very ordinary, which made Chu Xiuding, who had long been accustomed to luxury and elegant living, feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Your Highness, it's the ministers who requested this. Firstly, the ministers are used to simplicity and don't like overly luxurious things. In addition, the ministers have to deal with a lot of government affairs, and things that are too exquisite may be distracting. Second, the ministers have just taken office in the Chu and Tang Dynasties. For the post of marshal, living in the palace is already beyond the reach, and it is not suitable to use luxurious things. Your highness is well-intentioned, and I understand it very well, but please don't mention this matter again, your highness."

Chu Xiuding was very satisfied with what he had said, and nodded. He sat down on the chair in front of Cai Hongzhang's desk, shook his body, and felt quite comfortable.However, he did not see the dissatisfaction flashing across Cai Hongzhang's eyes the moment he sat down.

Cai Hongzhang really didn't like the luxurious atmosphere of the Chu and Tang royal families. As a genius who grew up in the reincarnation organization Cai's family, he had long liked that kind of elegant and classical decoration. In his eyes, he looked like a bumpkin in the countryside.So he would rather not have it than let the royal family decorate his office.And the chair he was sitting on was the only thing he took out of his own spaceship and brought it with him from his family.The wood used to make the chairs in this chapter is only produced in a very small amount on a planet under the control of the Samsara Cai family, and the price is so expensive that it is jaw-dropping.Cai Hongzhang loves this chair very much and never allows anyone to use it.But now Chu Xiuzhen just sat on it like this. If it weren't for the task of reincarnation, Cai Hongzhang would not care if you were the emperor of Chu and Tang or the prince, and would just kick him up.

"This chair is nice. I never thought a wooden chair could be so comfortable."

Chu Xiujing's words made Cai Hongzhang very angry. He couldn't help thinking, if Chu Xiujing asked him for this chair, should he give it or not?Fortunately, the purpose of Chu Xiuding's visit this time was not for this chair.

"Do you know why I came to your place this time?" Chu Xiuting turned her head and looked at Cai Hongzhang with a half-smile.

"I dare not presumptuously guess His Highness's thoughts."

"Boring!" Chu Xiuding waved his hands and said, "I want to ask you, what do you think about Qin Shou's plan to fight Lin Jiaoyang with us this time?"

Cai Hongzhang opened his eyes wide, and said in disbelief, "Don't you have any plans? I saw that Qin Shougang sent a message, and His Highness agreed without even thinking about it. I thought His Highness had already made plans."

"What can I care about." Chu Xiuzhen curled her lips and said, "At first I thought, after he came to Chang'an for one star, I would let your people do him and take the opportunity to take over his territory." Cai Hongzhang Looking at him in disbelief, he said blankly, "Your Highness...is that the idea?"

"Hey, that's what I thought at the time. But after I thought about it, it seemed like a good idea to bring Qin Shou to fight against Lin Jiaoyang. I came to you to discuss it later."

Cai Hongzhang secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in his heart: Fortunately, you came to me to discuss it. If you really kill Qin Shou on Chang'an Yixing, let alone whether you can win or not, even if you win, I'm afraid you will have to kill Qin Shou. Revenge by the Dragon Slayer Society.If those lunatics were playing for real, they might not be able to take advantage even if Samsara's entire army was mobilized.

"Then His Highness's current idea is... to form an alliance with Qin Shou?"

"Yeah, that's right." Chu Xiuting said carelessly: "This old guy Lin Jiaoyang is too powerful now, every time I think of it, I feel a sense of fear, I am deeply afraid that one day he will bring an army to the Chang'an Department Come."

When he said this, Cai Hongzhang could clearly see that Chu Xiuting's face turned slightly pale. It could be seen that what Lin Jiaoyang brought to him was not only the pressure, but also the long-standing invincible fear.When it comes to that person, even Cai Hongzhang himself does not have the confidence to win.The support that reincarnation can give him is very limited, relying on only one Chang'an department, he has absolutely no strength to defeat Lin Jiaoyang.

Unless he can unite with Qin Shou and rely on the power of the Dragon Slaying Society, it is possible to find a little opportunity for himself to rise in the cracks of this chaotic situation.

After pondering for a while, Cai Hongzhang said: "The current situation is not clear. Our intelligence organization has no idea how much power Qin Shou has in his hands. This is very detrimental to the upcoming alliance negotiations."

"I don't know how strong that old guy Qin Shou is." Chu Xiuzhen said disdainfully: "He just controlled eight main fleets by relying on money and some people's tricks. Regardless of his large number, But if there is a real fight, I can guarantee that those eight fleets will definitely not be the opponents of our four royal fleets."

Cai Hongzhang nodded. He had seen the strength of the Royal Fleet before. Although the quality and technology of the warships were not as good as Samsara's fleet, the personnel quality and training level were enough to compete with those elite fleets controlled by Samsara's subordinates.Moreover, the warships in the First Fleet are advanced fleets built by the Veyron Group at a very high cost without hesitation. The cost of each of those warships is more than ten times higher than that of ordinary [Wu Mu class]. Moreover, a lot of advanced technologies have been used, such as the energy shield technology that is still in the laboratory stage, and other countries are still in the initial stage of research, and Chu and Tang have already added all of the 200 warships of the First Fleet. installed this device.The expenditure for this item alone is as high as [-] billion imperial gold dollars, and this money can be used to purchase all the materials of the five main fleets, including battleships and mechs.

However, Cai Hongzhang knew that in Qin Shou's hands, there were definitely more than the eight fleets on the surface.

As the spokesperson of the Dragon Slayer Society's interests in the Chu and Tang Dynasties, Cai Hongzhang is sure that Qin Shou definitely has the strong support of the Dragon Slayer Society, and is even very likely to have a powerful fleet composed of advanced battleships from the Dragon Slayer Society.If the two sides really develop, the possibility of Qin Shou's victory is definitely more than [-]%!
Cai Hongzhang felt a headache for a while, looking at the guy who didn't know anything in front of him, he was secretly annoyed, how could he meet such an idiot guy.If he had known this earlier, he would never have chosen the Chu and Tang royal family as his starting point.But think about it, if he didn't choose the royal family of Chu and Tang, who could he choose?Qin Shou is a member of the Dragon Slayer Society, that is absolutely impossible.Lin Jiaoyang?Cai Hongzhang smiled wryly. Lin Jiaoyang was indeed the best choice, but the person who should have died at his feet in the first place became Lin Jiaoyang's grandson-in-law. With such a relationship, Cai Hongzhang knew that he had little chance of joining Lin Jiaoyang. power.Even if he went in, the other party knew that he was a reincarnated person, and he would never allow himself the slightest chance of gaining power.

Forget it, although this guy is useless, he is still the orthodox prince of the Chu and Tang Dynasties, and he also has four powerful fleets.Even if the strength is the weakest of the three forces, it is not impossible.

Thinking of this, Cai Hongzhang cheered up and discussed with Chu Xiuting the specific matters of cooperation with Qin Shou.

However, Chu Xiuting came here full of enthusiasm, and after talking for less than half an hour, she breathed heavily, and the expression on her face became more and more impatient.Seeing this situation, Cai Hongzhang could only sigh, and said: "Your Highness, the specific framework has been completed. As for the details, I will leave it to the ministers."

Chu Xiuting wanted to leave a long time ago, when she heard this sentence, she immediately looked happy, patted Cai Hongzhang on the shoulder and said, "Then Cai Aiqing will have to worry a lot about this matter, and when it is done, I will credit you for it!" After finishing speaking, he couldn't wait to pat his butt and leave.

Looking at his back, Cai Hongzhang's face gradually turned cold, and he said to himself: "Remember the merit? I am now the Marshal of Chu and Tang, so what merit can I remember? Are you going to give Chu Tang that cheap title to me?" Me? That's funny."

After finishing speaking, he looked at the maids standing on both sides and smiled at them.

Cai Hongzhang fully believed that after his smile, these maids would never reveal what he just said, but would only remember his smile.Looking at the details of the cooperation that only completed two or three items on the optical brain, he shook his head and murmured: "Qin Shou, Qin Shou, I hope you will not be too greedy. Our reincarnation is no weaker than your dragon slaying society."

"My lord, the spaceship mecha has entered the Chang'an department."

Hearing the attendant's voice, Qin Shou stood up from his seat, his face slightly agitated.He came to the porthole and looked at the star system not far away that was getting closer and closer, with a complicated expression on his face.

"Finally... come back again."

From leaving the Chang'an department to returning here again, the time is not only three months.For others, it may be just a blink of an eye, but for Qin Shou, he always wants to return to this starry sky.

Thinking about three months ago, he mistakenly thought that Lin Jiaoyang had taken Chu Xiuding away, and led an army to chase after him, but he didn't expect that Chu Xiuding had never left the Chang'an department at all, but instead captured what was supposed to be a place with the help of those nobles. Qin Shou's Chang'an is one star, and with the allegiance of the Royal Fleet, Qin Shou knows that at least for the time being, he has no chance to return to the Chang'an department.Unexpectedly, after three months, he would be able to return to the Chang'an Department.

Coming back this time, Qin Shou is nominally still the prime minister of the empire.Externally, the empire's excuse was to suppress certain anti-government armed forces, and sent Qin Shou to the Songzhou Starfield to garrison in order to prevent the anti-government forces from getting bigger.Now that the anti-government armed forces have been wiped out, the prime minister of the empire has successfully completed his mission and returned to the imperial capital.

Thinking of the royal family's excuse, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Qin Shou's mouth.

I am afraid that such an excuse can only be used to deceive those ignorant people.Anyone who cares a little bit about politics, economy, or military should know what happened to this empire.However, these have nothing to do with him, Qin Shou, they are just used by Chu Xiuting to maintain his poor royal authority. Qin Shou neither opposes nor supports, anyway, his half-star region still has a fleet controlled by his subordinates , have been firmly controlled in his own hands, and it is absolutely impossible to throw himself into the embrace of the Chu and Tang royal family again.

"grown ups."

A voice suddenly sounded behind him, Qin Shou's body trembled imperceptibly, but without turning his head, he said, "This is your hometown, right?"

"Yes, my lord." The voice of the person behind was calm, without the slightest fluctuation: "My grandfather used to be the principal of the Chutang Military Academy, with the rank of lieutenant general. I grew up in the second star of Chang'an since I was a child. Before I was 20, I never I have left the Chang'an Department."

Qin Shou let out an "oh", and said after a while: "I remember, your grandfather's name is Feng Yeyan."

A moment of silence.

"I have dealt with your grandfather. But I seem to remember, he is from New America." Qin Shou turned around, patted him on the shoulder and smiled.Feng Qingyun's complexion changed, he pushed Qin Shou's arm away, and said coldly: "I am now a member of the Dragon Slayer Society, and everything in the past has nothing to do with me."

"Hehe, young people just love to be excited." Qin Shou was not angry, turned his head and continued to look out the window, and said leisurely: "What a beautiful star system, it is like the most beautiful jewel in the crown. I have been there There are countless galaxies, none of which can compare to the Chang'an system. I have worked here for 30 years, so that one day I can hold this jewel in my own hands. Unfortunately, I never thought that would happen. If it wasn't for the carelessness that time, maybe we wouldn't come here in this way now."

Feng Qingyun sneered and said: "I never thought that Mr. Qin, who has always been cunning, would make such a simple and naive mistake."

Qin Shou neither uttered a word nor refuted, but just looked into the distance, his eyes full of fascination.

After a long time, he turned his head, his expression had changed to the usual gloomy and cold, and there was a gloomy chill in every gesture.

"Feng Qingyun."

"Yes." Feng Qingyun glanced at him, knowing that Qin Shou had put aside all his emotions, and he would not offend Qin Shou at this time, as it would not do him any good.

"From now on, you are not allowed to appear in public. I will arrange an identity for you so that you can successfully stay in Chang'an for one star. At that time, I will give you another order. This matter can only be successful. Failure is not allowed." The cold air from Qin Shou's body spread in all directions, causing Feng Qingyun in front of him to shiver involuntarily.

"Do you understand it?"

"Master, how far is it? It's so boring to be on the boat all day, I'm going to be suffocated to death."

"Bored? Go, follow me to the gym. I'll find you something not boring to do."

"Ah!" With a scream, the little girl took two steps back, looked at the very handsome master in casual clothes in front of her, trembling, and stammered: "Master...Master, I...ah, I want to Wake up, today's mecha engineering homework has not been completed yet."

After saying that, the little girl turned around and was about to run out in a panic.

"Ah... it hurts."

The little girl grabbed and pulled with both hands indiscriminately, but she couldn't take a step forward, because her long chestnut ponytail had been firmly grasped by the person behind her.

Li Lingfeng looked at Natasha amusedly, pulled her hair and said with a smile, "Why, do you want to run away?"

"No, master!" Natasha hurried back to Li Lingfeng's side, and stood obediently aside, pouted with displeasure on her face: "Master knows how to grab someone's hair, and he's not afraid of grabbing it off. When the time comes, he will make fun of you." It’s you, Master. Think about it, Master, when people see me in the future, they will secretly say, look, that is the apprentice of Li Lingfeng, the number one master in the fleet. I didn’t expect that such a super master like Li Lingfeng would have an ugly bald man apprentice……"

Li Lingfeng tilted his head and thought for a while. It seemed that such words would indeed have an impact on his reputation. Before he knew it, he felt a little relaxed.

Natasha rolled her eyes, suddenly jumped up and pointed out the window and shouted: "Master, look, there is a person flying past in space!"

"Ah! Where is it?" Li Lingfeng rushed to the porthole in an instant, staring out with wide eyes, but he didn't expect that Natasha had slipped to the door.

"Master is so stupid, haha, I lied to you!"

Natasha made a face at him, then closed the door with a "bang", and a burst of silver bell-like laughter sounded outside, gradually disappearing into the distance.

Perhaps when Natasha thought about it, the master should have turned pale.But she didn't know that there was a smile on Li Lingfeng's face.

"What an interesting child, it's also very interesting to play with her occasionally." Li Lingfeng smiled to himself, but looked out the window into the distance. "Look at the time, it's almost time to arrive at the Chang'an department. Sigh, I didn't expect it to be three and a half years, almost four years. I don't know how my mother is doing at home? Without my care, she still remembers to eat and sleep?"

Li Lingfeng knows his mother Xiao Tongyun very well.

No matter how difficult the engineering and design of mechs may seem to others, it is just a piece of cake for Xiao Tongyun.But in life, Xiao Tongyun is more than just a "confused" that can be summarized?The children are all in their 20s, but they can’t even peel an apple; they don’t make the quilt when they get up in the morning, and they don’t take off their clothes when they go to bed at night. They must be reminded to eat, otherwise they will have to go through at least three meals until they are really hungry. Only when I can't afford it can I remember to eat.The same goes for sleeping, she will never go to sleep until she can't keep her eyelids fighting.

Throwing such a confused mother to the Chang'an department alone, to be honest, Li Lingfeng has been most worried about his mother since he was away for more than three years.

However, every once in a while, Xiao Tongyun will send him a video email, telling him that he is living a good life, so that he does not have to worry.

To be honest, Li Lingfeng felt sorry for his mother.

In Xiao Tongyun's eyes, Li Lingfeng is nothing more than a mech warrior of a security company that rarely fights.It is quite interesting to wander around various countries in a spaceship when you are free.But in fact, her son is not what she knows, but an out-and-out interstellar pirate!The number of people who died under Li Lingfeng's hands was eight hundred if not one thousand; the battles he participated in were almost a few every month, and there would be a medium-sized battle every one or two months!
Sometimes Li Lingfeng also wondered if she would pass out immediately if she knew the truth.

"Drip drip..."

Li Lingfeng glanced at it, then turned on the communicator.

"Captain, what's the matter?"

The person on the screen is the captain of this luxurious cruise ship, and he said with apology on his face: "I'm sorry, Mr. Li. Chang'an has been blocked for some reason. Because we came from Yangming Kingdom, we are not Know this. So... we can only return."

Li Lingfeng was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Is there no other way to get in? If we wait a little longer, maybe we will be able to contact the blockade tomorrow."

The captain shook his head: "I have already asked some acquaintances, at least one month will not touch the blockade."

Li Lingfeng was a little sluggish. He didn't expect that the vacation he managed to get from Hong Tie would be wasted like this.

"However..." the captain hesitated for a moment, and said, "I heard from my friend that as long as there is a nobleman above the viscount as a guarantee, and a deposit of 100 million imperial gold dollars is paid, you can also enter."

Li Lingfeng's eyes lit up immediately, "So that's the way it is, haha, I'll have to trouble the captain about this matter, and the guarantee and deposit are not a problem for me. As long as the captain can help me do it well, I will be rewarded afterwards."

The captain's eyes widened immediately, and he stared at Li Lingfeng carefully.He didn't expect that there would be such a wealthy nobleman on board his boat, so he quickly agreed.

If he knew that Li Lingfeng was the first successor of Xingyun Group, the most popular mecha company in Chu and Tang Dynasty, would he faint directly?

A day later, Li Lingfeng took the curious Natasha on a military transport boat, and under the eyes of more than a dozen warships, entered the Chang'an Department...
