can not live up to

According to historical records of imperial meteorology, the spring of 5334 came a bit late. Even though the mountain flowers had already bloomed and the green leaves had appeared, the coldness of the late spring still made people feel chilly.

The weather can easily affect people's mood sometimes, good weather is like this, and bad weather is even more so.

For example, at the Central Council of the Empire in the spring of 5334, the faces of the high-ranking officials of the empire were even more predictable than the cold spring.

Since the late autumn of 5332, when Yun Tianxiao led the AFAR army to confront the empire head-on, the mood of the top management of the empire was like a roller coaster, sometimes shocked, sometimes anxious, sometimes angry, sometimes troubled, in short, it was very thrilling and exciting.But the upper echelons of the empire have never been so worried as they are today.

After all, no matter how jubilant the AFAR army was, they were always nothing more than an ant in their eyes.

But now the ants have been reborn, and they want to keep pace with the elephants.

In the late winter of last year, the news of Yun Tianxiao's accidental death spread from the Xinyue Star District to the ears of the higher-ups of the empire.This news made many people in the upper echelon of the empire secretly happy, and it made many people feel relieved, thinking that this is simply God's help for the empire. Xiao was in an accident again, and they could finally rest easy from now on.

Some people even feel that it is not so important to get rid of the AFAR army, because the AFAR army will no longer be able to make any big waves.

Everyone in the empire didn't know that Yun Tianxiao was the core and soul of the AFAR army.

Without the soul of Yun Tianxiao, the AFAR army is no different from a motherless baby, and there is nothing to worry about.

Although small groups of AFAR troops invaded uninterruptedly, the empire's territories never fell again.

What does this mean?It shows that even though the AFAR army has huge ambitions, it is already unable to do what it wants.

Although the performance of some planets disappointed the high-level empire, and the loss of some teams and starships also made the high-level empire feel distressed, but it also relaxed their nerves.

They feel that the AFAR army is just lingering on its last legs, making it last day by day.

Although the recovery speed of the empire's military strength cannot be too fast, after all, the manufacture of starships is time-consuming and expensive, but once the dark matter engine is officially developed, the situation will naturally be completely different, and it will only be a matter of time before they are dealt with.

Moreover, the vast majority of people in the upper echelons of the empire today are not as aggressive and aggressive as those in Fu Pai in the past. Most of them love peace and harmony, so naturally they don't want to be militants.

Of course, in their eyes, the AFAR army without Yun Tianxiao also took it for granted that it should not be warlike.

After all, lunatics like Yun Tianxiao are not very common in this world.

It's a pity that their good wishes for everything to be harmonious have come to nothing in this long-overdue spring like a moon in water and a mirror in a mirror.

The AFAR Army's motherless children who are like small ants don't know what kind of ambition and leopard guts they ate. As if they were helped by God, they grew up too fast and quickly completely surpassed their imagination. What's more sad is that now They even sharpened their knives and rushed directly to the central star area.

"Qi Mengliang, what's going on?" one of the elders of the empire asked angrily.

"This..." Qi Mengliang felt that he had been possessed by an unlucky god for the past few years. He couldn't live comfortably for two days, so he had to sit at home, and the pot came from the sky, "That..."

"Huh? Here and there, don't you have any hidden secrets?" The second elder of the empire was a very angry old man, his eyes were wide open, as if he could tear Qi Mengliang apart just by his eyes.

Qi Mengliang's heart trembled three times uncontrollably, "Cough...not...mainly..."

Who would have thought that there would still be hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the AFAR army, and without Yun Tianxiao, there would be a previously unknown general, and now it seems that this person is better at planning and planning than the lunatic Yun Tianxiao. It is easier to catch the empire by surprise.

"Okay, let's talk about countermeasures first." His Majesty the Emperor has a good temper now, and it seems that his patience is exhausted at this moment.

"Why don't we talk about it first?" Qi Mengliang quickly scanned the faces of the elders, especially Qin Yuan's expression. Now the opinion of the Minister of Economy is definitely the most important to His Majesty the Emperor, and she has always Likes to solve problems through negotiation.Although Qi Mengliang had no idea, he still cautiously threw out this suggestion.Negotiation should be the preferred way of dealing with everyone here, right?

"Still talking? We're going to hit your doorsteps!" As a result, before everyone could say anything, His Majesty the Emperor became angry.

Tsk tsk, it's really the most unpredictable king's heart, and the most difficult person to be a minister.

Qi Mengliang quickly changed the subject, "Yes! All the fleets of the empire are always ready, and they can go out to defeat the enemy at any time as long as His Majesty gives an order!"

"Wait." Qin Yuan, who had been silent all this time, would definitely speak up at this time.

"Tell me." Qi Mengliang felt that today he might have to be a mouse in the bellows again after a long absence.

"The newest general of the AFAR army, have you found out where he came from?"

"Uh, my surname is Tang. I heard that he used to be Yun Tianxiao's right-hand man, but he has been hidden under Yun Tianxiao's light before, and he has been unknown. Others..." Qi Mengliang hesitated for a moment, and said embarrassingly Mouth, "I haven't been able to find out more yet."

It's also strange to say that the newest general of the AFAR army is completely different from Yun Tianxiao's sharp-edged style when he was in power, and he is too low-key.Qi Mengliang has been sending people to watch the movement of the AFAR army, especially after learning the news of Yun Tianxiao's death, he has stepped up the intelligence gathering of the AFAR army.Although it took a lot of effort, so far, he only knows that General Tang has a high prestige in AFAR and is deeply loved by soldiers, but he can't find any other information about this person. I heard that he might be an orphan, and he seemed to have been taken care of by Yun Tianxiao.It's a bit unusual to think about it now, but Qi Mengliang didn't take it too seriously before, after all, he was just an unknown person.It wasn't until now that he realized that this low-key general Tang was really an extraordinary figure, and he was actually a military talent surpassing Yun Tianxiao's.Sure enough, everything is careless, what a mistake.

After hearing this, Qin Yuan didn't continue to ask questions, but just glanced at Qin Xuan meaningfully.

"Attack the AFAR army head-on, but who else has any objections?" Qin Xuan didn't seem to feel Qin Yuan's gaze, with a calm face, scanning the audience.

His Majesty the Emperor said that the war was to be fought, and the Central Council of the Empire passed this resolution without objection.

Qin Ming had a hard time these past few months.

The elder brother Qin Xuan who didn't pay too much attention to his education in the past has now turned into the family teacher who has the strictest demands on him.

Moreover, what was taught to him was all the boring content of governing the country.

Qin Ming wasn't too interested in the things that sat in the Empire's Central Council, but Qin Xuan threatened and lured him, and at the same time assigned him some other homework that suits him very well, teaching him according to his aptitude.

Qin Xuan and him still have an agreement for three chapters, and his sister Qin Yuan must not know about this matter.This Qin Ming naturally agreed. After all, the courses he was interested in were all courses that his older sister Qin Yuan would not let him touch, such as military affairs.

The two brothers conspired with each other tacitly, looking for excuses for the two of them to read books, fish, play ball, take a walk, etc. every day, and staged a good show of brother and brother Gong, thinking that Qin Yuan had been kept a secret airtight.

But in fact, these two are at the bottom of the [-]th line idol school, and they are really far away from the acting school.Qin Yuan had already seen from their eyebrows and eyes that the two brothers were doing something good without telling her, but she didn't want to take care of it yet.

Tonight was different, she was very interested in asking.

When the dinner was about to end, Qin Xuan and Qin Ming poured down the soup in a few sips, and then reported to Qin Yuan as usual that they wanted to play night golf today.

Qin Yuan was still savoring the soup slowly and methodically, without raising his eyes, he said, "Well, I haven't played for a long time, I'll go with you."

Qin Xuan gave Qin Ming a wink, and Qin Ming ran to Qin Yuan's dining chair, and squeezed her shoulders flatteringly, "My sister also wants to play ball? That's good, another day..."

"Don't change the day, just today, I happen to be interested." Qin Yuan just finished drinking the soup, she put down the bowl, and patted Qin Ming's forearm with her hand, "Speaking of which, these days, you two brothers have We get close from time to time, we go up the mountain and down the water, but we never want to take me with us, why, do you think my sister is old?"

Qin Xuan saw it and knew that he might not be able to escape tonight, so he hurriedly said, "How is it possible? Let's go now. It's rare that the elder sister is interested. Today, the three of us are just relaxing together."

Qin Ming winked at Qin Xuan from behind Qin Yuan. Tonight's class was military. Qin Xuan promised to take him aboard the ship to practice using the latest particle beam cannon, but it was natural to take his sister with him. It would have to be ruined, and according to his understanding of Qin Xuan, such courses are generally in case of force majeure, just pass the village and there will be no such shop.Qin Ming was in a hurry. If he had known that he would have changed his national politics class today, he would feel extremely annoyed when he thought about it.

It's a pity that it's useless to be upset, Qin Yuan and Qin Xuan have already started to pack up and prepare to go, and he can only obediently follow behind like a caddy.

Of course, Qin Yuan didn't come here just to play.

She swung a shot, and then called Qin Ming 50 meters away like a caddy. When Qin Ming was far away, she copied the golf club, pointed at Qin Xuan and asked, "About AFAR? General Tang, Your Majesty, do you have anything you want to tell me?"

"Sister, what do you say?" Qin Xuan pretended to be confused with Qin Yuan as always.

"I heard from my mother that when you were at Yisu No. 2, you had a very good partner. Coincidentally, I remember his name is A Tang."

Qin Xuan remained expressionless, and continued to ask for advice, quietly waiting for Qin Yuan to continue.

"If you want to hide a person's information so well, besides His Majesty the Emperor, I really can't think of anyone else?"

"The elder sister won the prize."

"So, His Majesty, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Cure the problem." The timing is not too good, but it is better to hit the sun than to choose the day, Qin Xuan thinks it's better to get to know Qin Yuan now.

Qin Yuan raised his eyebrows, seemingly puzzled.

Qin Xuan smiled, "Sister, you are in charge of the economic lifeline of the empire. Do you think there is any problem with the empire?"

Naturally, there are problems, and Qin Yuan is also very clear about how the situation will gradually become serious.She has worked hard over the years, and she has worried about it a lot, not to mention the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, and even the white hair on her head is exposed because of this.

"Do you have a solution?"

"Attempting."

Qin Yuan didn't ask any more questions, just said, "What do you need my cooperation to do?"

"As long as my eldest sister can always support my decision, just like today."

"Then what's the matter with him?" Qin Yuan didn't shake his head or nod, but turned the club in his hand and pointed at Qin Ming who was picking up the ball and rushing towards them.

Qin Xuan also turned his gaze to Qin Ming, with a solemn and serious tone, "Don't you think that there may be someone in the future who is more suitable than me to manage the universe and the stars?"

"You know, I never want him to get involved in anything dangerous." Qin Yuan still has lingering fears when he thinks of Qin Ming's narrow escape from Fu Yuxia.

"No, I promise." If Qin Ming fell into such a danger again, Qin Xuan felt that his sister Qin Yuan would directly kill him with the golf club in his hand.That was not a good thing. Considering the happiness of he and Tang Di in the second half of their lives, Qin Xuan would naturally not allow such a thing to happen again.

Qin Ming, who ran back foolishly, didn't know anything about it, but in just a few words, his brothers and sisters had reached a consensus on the empire and his future.

The army of the AFAR fleet was dispatched, but they lined up between the galaxy, which was only two days away from the central star area, and did not move forward.

They seemed to be waiting for something, and very patiently surrounded the central star area without attacking it.

Seeing this, Qi Mengliang thought that General Tang didn't know he was afraid until he went to the city, and relying on the superiority of the imperial fleet's equipment, he asked Qin Xuan for orders and led the Tiantong and Tianxiang fleets to attack.

From the moment the fleet set off, the top management of the empire began to look forward to success in one fell swoop and good news in return as before.

What is surprising is that after the two fleets had been confronting the AFAR army for a long time, they raised the white flag before firing a shot, turned their ships around, and defected to the AFAR army. Naturally, that unlucky Qi Mengliang He became a prisoner in the hands of others.

The mutiny of the two fleets of Tiantong and Tianxiang shocked the upper echelons of the empire, but what shocked them even more was yet to come.

The day after the two fleets of Tiantong and Tianxiang rebelled, the Jiaomu and Weihuo star regions directly announced the uprising, saying that they would accept the command of General Tang of the AFAR Army from now on.

Without firing a single shot, the AFAR army has already controlled nearly half of the empire's territory even in the Xinyue star area.

The Empire State Building, in an instant, became precarious.

Qin Xuan, His Majesty the Emperor of the Empire, was even more furious upon hearing the news!
