I became the chief secretary of the empire by raising pigs

"Your Highness told me that you can come to me if you have any problems, and I will find a way to help you solve them."

Luo Hua looked at the girl on the other side of the video very sincerely.

As soon as her cousin was mentioned, Wei Fu's expression became sad.

[I don't know whether I should tell you about these things, after all, they are trivial family matters. ]

Luo Hua's heart tightened.

What are you kidding?Are royal affairs family affairs?

As the former Secretary-General and the Chief Steward of the Summer Palace, he must not let His Highness worry about his family during the expedition!

"Miss Wei Fu, you have already contacted me. It can be seen that these things have caused you a lot of trouble, so it is not a trivial matter." Afraid of scaring Wei Fu, he tried his best to say in a gentle tone, "I love you a lot , In terms of life experience, I finally need to learn more, you might as well talk to me and see if I can provide some advice?"

Wei Fu looked at him, although she had put on makeup on her face, she could still see traces of haggardness.

[It's... about my parents. ]

She lowered her head slightly, her hands resting on her knees, her fingers tangled together.

[I think you should be clear, the relationship between the two of them has not been very good in recent years, right? ]

Just 'in recent years'?

Luo Hua couldn't help complaining in his heart, since he came into contact with the royal family, he didn't seem to have seen the harmonious appearance of this couple.On the contrary, His Majesty and the Queen have always had a very good relationship, and he was introduced by the Queen!

Wei Fu didn't know his complaints, she was immersed in her own world, not so much complaining to Luo Hua, it was more like a kind of self-discovery.

[I always feel that their relationship has faded, but they still care about each other.But since we came to the estate, everything has changed.My mom, who used to have at least one meal with us, now shuts herself in the house all day... My dad is getting better, but—]

She shut her mouth and suddenly moved closer to the camera.

Luo Hua was startled, and retreated reflexively.God, it's a good thing he didn't install a desktop holographic optical computer, otherwise the head suddenly came to him, and he probably would have disappeared.

[I heard them arguing in the room last night, it was very fierce! ]

Wei Fu panted slightly, the pupils of her eyes that were close at hand shrank suddenly, and she almost fell into a state of stress.

[My dad...he has been weak all year round, and never speaks loudly to others!But he was so loud last night!I think I heard him hit the lady! ] She clasped her hands together in fear and looked at the camera as if asking for help.

[I can't hear what the lady said, but what can she say?To make my dad so angry? ]

[I'm so scared, I can't sleep all night...]

Luo Hua was surprised when he heard this, and felt sympathetic to Wei Fu.When he recalled the Grand Duke, he just found it hard to imagine the other party's furious appearance.But speaking of it, a good-tempered person is fine if he doesn't get angry, and when he gets angry, it's absolutely earth-shattering.

Besides, the Grand Duke is not born with a good temper, it is purely because his physical hardware does not allow it, and after so many years of repression, he has worn out his patience.He was also quite curious, what would Madam say to break the Grand Duke's patience?

He thought for a while and comforted Wei Fu: "You should know the Grand Duke better than me. He has indeed suffered a lot these years. People who have been ill for a long time are actually under a lot of psychological pressure. Sometimes it is not a bad thing for old couples to quarrel properly. Besides, it is best for children not to interfere in the relationship between their parents, they will care about you no matter what their relationship is."

To put it bluntly, don't mind your parents' business.Parents also have self-esteem, it’s okay to make noise around the bed, but if the children find out, it would be a bloody embarrassment to tear off their skin!

Wei Fu fell silent.

If it's purely just louder than sleeping, she can at most hide away and pretend she doesn't know.

She hid quietly in the stairwell last night because of fear, during which time she was hesitating whether to knock on the door.Until she heard her adoptive mother's voice suddenly became louder, and there was a scream in the room!

Louise was indeed very cold towards her, but Wei Fu knew very well that she didn't hate herself.Louise was involved in several key periods in her life.

For example, on her first day at school, Louise didn't say anything, but she took the airship with her in the morning and watched her enter the school.For example, when she was menstruating for the first time, she secretly asked her girlfriend for advice, but when she returned home, Louise was already waiting in the room and prepared supplies for her.

For example, when she made her first boyfriend, she couldn't help telling Louise that the smile her adoptive mother showed her made her happy for many days.

Although she loves her father very much, he can't hit anyone!

Wei Fu plucked up the courage to knock on the door, but the door opened from the inside at this moment.She raised her head and was facing her father's angry face. When they looked at each other, Wei Fu felt scared when facing her father for the first time.

Wei Yao stared at her coldly, his eyes were like ice, without a trace of heat.

'Get out of here, now. '

He looked at her as if he were looking at a stranger.

Wei Fu collapsed at that time, and she couldn't remember a word of what she had thought up.There was only one thought in her mind, and that was to get out of here!Leave Wei Yao's cold gaze!

But she still remembered the quick glance when she turned around, and there was a woman lying on the carpet in the room.The iconic blond hair was messily scattered on the ground, and the woman fell there with her face covered.

Wei Fu didn't know how to say this to Luo Hua.

She even regretted it a little.

Maybe these things should not have been said, maybe many people will encounter such things in their families?

Besides, how can Luo Hua help her?

He is an outsider and has no right to meddle in other people's family affairs.

Wei Fu's heart burned for a while, and the deep guilt lingered in it for a long time.She was ashamed of her behavior, Louise was good to her, but she didn't even dare to intercede for her adoptive mother.

[Sorry--]

She covered her face in dismay, and began to cry through the screen.

[I just want to know... when will my brother come back...]

Luo Hua stood up helplessly, not knowing how to comfort Wei Fu.He's not stupid, he can see that Wei Fu still has something to hide, but no matter what, it's the grand duke's private matter, and it's not easy for him to interfere.

"I also want to assure you to contact His Highness as soon as possible," he said helplessly, "But His Highness is going to fight, and even I cannot contact him casually."

Wei Fu cried for a while before slowly calming down.She wiped away her tears carefully, and looked at Luo Hua's time again, and she became much calmer.

[I may have been under too much pressure recently and have a bit of an emotional breakdown.Please just pretend you didn't receive my call, and don't tell His Highness.Now is the moment of truth, and I understand the priorities. ]

[I'm really sorry. ]

Luo Hua felt even more sorry.He knew very well that if Wei Zong were here instead, he would have flown to the manor immediately.But as the Prime Minister, wasting his time here listening to a little girl talk about his thoughts is already a sign of dereliction of duty. Let him tell Wei Zong specifically, and then let the other party be distracted on the battlefield?

He is not crazy!

As for Mrs. Louise, he is a little guessing now, could it be that Mrs. wants to divorce?Or was it discovered that he was keeping a little boy?The Grand Duke was unable to handle it before, even if he knew it, he was unable to deal with it, but now it is different.

Wei Fu collected her emotions and asked another question.

[By the way, do you know the latest prosthetic news? ]

It's a normal topic anyway.

Luo Hua thoughtfully avoided looking at her red and swollen eyes: "The newest prosthetic limbs may not come out until a few years ago, and they haven't been clinically tested yet. Why, are you asking for the sake of the Grand Duke?"

Wei Fu forced a smile.

[Yeah, but that’s the question.Although his legs still have some mobility problems, his body is much better. ]

The two chatted casually for a few more words before cutting off the communication.

Luo Hua sat blankly for a while, feeling deeply moved in his heart.

There are so many different kinds of people in this world.There are couples who never leave each other, and there are also couples who drift away and become strangers.It's better for ordinary people to live a simpler life, at least they have no feelings, and they won't be tied together for so many years.

Thinking of His Majesty Wei Rong and the Queen, he couldn't help recalling that video again.

I hope His Highness can take revenge smoothly, find His Majesty and Queen, and bring them back.

At the beginning of January, the fleet led by USS Constitution ended the fifth transition, broke away from the warp space, and came to the G planet group.They are getting closer to the fortress, and the farther away from the center, the more dangerous the environment of the galaxy.

"Your Highness, the nearest supply point is G21," Jin Shang turned around, "but the other console has not responded yet."

"Send another application." Wei Zong pondered for a moment, then knocked on the handrail, "We still have three jumps, just in case, we must replenish energy."

He was a little fidgety and a little unsure.

At present, everything is normal in the fortress. Apart from cleaning the sporadic wormholes and confiscating the smuggling fleet, the patrol team did not find anything unusual.Will the Liberty Alliance make a fuss?

probably not.

This is an organization.Regardless of whether an organization is legal or not, its purpose is to continue to grow.Jialai Vance doesn't rely on him alone to operate, even if he pushes him to the fortress, the possibility of the Liberty Alliance wanting to break through the central city is very small.

First, the army headquarters is there, and the troops stationed in various places are in a state of encirclement; second, if the Freedom Alliance goes to attack, any country in the alliance has reason to send troops to suppress it.

But Wei Zong still felt uneasy.

Perhaps he should have been on his way sooner.

"If you don't respond within 10 minutes, use the first authority to land directly." He frowned and issued an instruction.

"Yes, the application for landing has been issued, and the timer has started."

Jin Shang transferred out the order meticulously.

G21 is an asteroid with only one-third the mass of the auxiliary star, and there is almost no vegetation or life.At first, this asteroid was developed as an energy star, but after 200 years, when the energy was exhausted, it was turned into a temporary supply point by the government.

The fleet was getting closer and closer to the planet, and as soon as it entered the atmosphere, the planetary shield began to issue warnings.

"It's kind of weird...?"

Jin Shang operated the control panel and scanned the entire planet. The opponent's control tower still had no signal, but the shield was operating normally.He has already taken over the control tower, and it stands to reason that the shield should be opened immediately.

He looked back at Wei Zong.

The vague feeling in Wei Zong's heart slowly became apparent.He held the armrest and pressed the onboard radio.

[Attention all crew, attention all crew, the fleet has entered a first-level alert state, raised its shields, and is ready to launch an attack! 】

"There is an ambush?!"

Jin Shang stood up suddenly, supported the console and began to scan the ground.

After crossing the atmosphere, the fleet still landed at high speed along the predetermined track towards the airport, but as they got closer to the ground, dense red dots appeared on the scanned map. These scarlet bright spots overlapped in various ways, almost illuminating The entire bridge control room.

"The sky...the ground is full of signs of life activity! There really is an ambush!" He turned pale, and immediately sent the scanned picture to the control room of every battleship in the fleet.

[Level [-] alert! X-type phased array ready!Raise your turrets!Aim all the barrels at the ground, and there are all enemies below! ] He yelled at the broadcast port.

Wei Zong stood up with a sullen face, and touched the mecha space twist in his hand.At this time, the communicator sounded a notification tone, and he looked down, it was Li Song who was looking for him.

[I'm on the ground floor, the chief engineer just checked and found something is wrong, there is something wrong with the warp pod on our cruiser! ]

Li Jin's anxious voice reached his ears, he seemed to be running, and he could still hear the sound of military boots hitting the metal corridor.

[I'm checking with the chief engineer right now, but be careful!I suspect there is an insider! ]

Wei Zong clenched his fists and raised his heart: "How long do you need?"

[We'll be there soon, there's a problem with the warp chamber, and the whole boat can't escape—I'll meet you on the bridge as soon as possible! ]

Communication is cut off.

Wei Zong stood beside the captain's seat and looked around the control room.

In the pure white control room, there are about thirty or so crew members, six or seven of whom sit in fixed operating positions and are responsible for the ship's cruising route, monitoring, communication and basic driving, and more of them shuttle between various positions. Time, responsible for real-time communication of the flight status of the ship and contacting various departments.

Are there ghosts among these people?

Five minutes later, they were already close to the airport.

The track on the airport is empty, without any ships staying.Of course, as a supply point in a remote area, it is normal for ships to land in ten days and a half months.

However, just as the USS Constitution approached 500 meters above the orbit, the bow of the ship suddenly seemed to be against a layer of transparent balloons, as if some repulsive force was repelling the approach of the USS Constitution.

"Shield."

Jin Shang slammed the console and ordered the turret hoarsely, "There is an ambush at the airport, the turret is counting down to attack! I order you to open fire freely!"

[The turret is ready, the countdown to launch is five seconds——]

[Five, four, three, two——]

【one! 】

【attack! 】

The edge of the cruiser's saucer-shaped hull lit up with dazzling light, and then the particle beams were launched intensively, blasting a cloud of fire in front of it, and the transparent membrane seemed to collapse suddenly, revealing a Tens of thousands of black tunnel insect mouthparts.

These black mouthparts are like some kind of metal cones, densely facing the sky, toward them!

"Zerg!"

Everyone was suffocated by the oncoming picture.

【Fire!Fire freely!Shoot/shoot all your weapons! 】

Jin Shang roared.

The airport was shattered into ashes, revealing the hidden impulse behind it—the tunnel worms came out continuously, and with a deafening buzz, a huge black wave was set off and divided into three black and gray tornadoes. come.

It was the flying beetle storm.

[Triangular array preparation - No. 2 and No. 3 are in place! 】

Wei Zong issued an order loudly.

In the next second, the entire bridge shook violently, and the crew yelled and fell to the ground.A piercing alarm sounded from the console, and the red warning lights flickered frantically.

"Your Highness! Captain! Someone has attacked our rear wing! The damage to the hull has exceeded 30.00%... 31... 34!"

"Your Highness! The shield frequency of the Constitution has been analyzed, and the shield has expired—we can't resist the flying beetles anymore!"

"The warp pod—"

The console was flooded with alarms that kept going off, and everyone was overwhelmed.The control room became flickering, just like their fate.

"Have you found out where the attack came from?" He gritted his teeth.

Jin Shang turned around and looked at him blankly in shock.

"Your Highness," he murmured, "from No. 2 and No. 3, two destroyers, our fleet."

There are ghosts.

Wei Zong's mind went blank.

Great, now he knows who the insider is.

The USS Constitution is facing front and rear attacks at this time.The flying beetle storm has penetrated through the shield, and is gathering on the top of the hull in strands, and behind them, the fleet that should have been a strong backing also aimed the phase array at the Constitution.

Wei Zong thought for three seconds with the utmost calmness.

He understood that the traitors would not be just No. 2 and No. 3, all the ships behind were already hostile camps.Does he still have a chance to resist?

boom----

"Your Highness!"

The first officer looked back at him and Jin Shang in despair, "The warp drive is completely damaged—they just blew up our warp pod!" This means that they can't get out of here through warp speed, just like falling into a trap The rabbit in the house can't escape even if it wants to.

Everything happened too suddenly. One second before they were still attacking the airport, the next second they were attacked from behind by their companions.

Half a month!

The shield completely disappeared, and the flying beetle storm gathered in the air with an unstoppable momentum, headed straight down, and drilled into the surface armor of the hull like a drill, and then the huge tunnel worm burrowed into the Constitution, and began to slowly Open mouthpiece.

【报告舰长——12、13、21、23、34层都被攻破！扫描到坑道虫内有生命迹象，很可能是海盗！我们该怎么办！】

Star Pirates and Zerg have teamed up.

There was a dead silence in the control room.

Wei Zong looked down at the communicator, and the positioning showed that Li Jin was passing through the 45th floor and rushing here.He knew he had to make the final decision, or he would lose a whole boatload of lives.

[Captain's order—all abandon ship now!I will fight for 10 minutes of escape time for everyone. All crew members should get their escape pods in place as soon as possible and disperse. Remember to cut off the domestic communication signal. Good luck! 】

He let go of the armrest, looked at everyone in the control room, and said solemnly, "What are you still dawdling about? Go to the equipment area!"

The crew saluted him silently in the shaking room, and then left the control room one by one.

Wei Zong ran to the console and began to switch to manual operation.He took over the weapon control of the Ministry of Security, and began to use the circular phase array to destroy the tunnel worm cavity embedded in the hull.

Although this will also damage the surface armor of the battleship, destroying the worm cavity is tantamount to cutting off the pirates' invasion path and letting them die in the worm hole!

He turned on the radio and yelled.

【Chief engineer!You and Li Jin immediately go to the nearest equipment area and use the escape pod to leave the Constitution!I repeat!All of you get your weapons, all in the escape pods, and I'll launch all the escape devices in 10 minutes at the latest! 】

"The chief engineer has entered the escape cabin."

A familiar voice came from behind.

Wei Zong turned around in shock, and saw Li Song leaning on the cabin door dripping with sweat, baring his teeth at him.

"As for me—I gotta stay with my piggies."

"Are you—are you crazy?!"

Wei Zong's chest throbbed and he was speechless for a moment.

"Hey, I don't have time to be moved," Li Jin ran over, sat down on the first officer's seat, and held the operating handle, "Give me orders, Captain!"

"...coordinates (689476, 756378), launch torpedoes, transfer the energy of the warp drive to the interior of the hull, close the 12th and 13th floors..." Wei Zong came back to his senses, lowered his head in a disguised manner, and quickly moved his fingers Move on the control panel.

"Order!"

Li Jin operated the handle, pressed the launch button, and the torpedo bombarded the airport layer by layer, turning the dense insect spines into ashes.

The energy was sequentially transferred from the broken energy box of the warp chamber to the hull, and the gates that had lost their function began to light up again, closing one by one, locking the tunnel worms that penetrated the hull in sections of the battleship corridor.

"Your Highness!"

The hatch of the control room opened again, Jin Shang ran in and shouted eagerly: "The pirates have invaded the lower ten floors, and there are flying beetles above us trying to break through the armor. There is no longer any delay, you have to leave as soon as possible!"

"I have opened the escape pod next to it, and I will activate the device in 3 minutes. You can go!"

Wei Zong remained unmoved, and quickly entered instructions to close the gates on the 34th to 45th floors.The equipment area is displayed on the light screen, the blue mark representing the activation of the escape pod is continuously increasing, and the number of monitored deaths is also increasing in the upper right corner.

In the end, 204 people entered the escape cabin, 108 people died, and the remaining 89 people were missing. They should have been swept outside when the hull was damaged.

This number has hardly changed, except for the three of them.

Wei Zong entered the final automatic escape program, locked with the captain's authority, and then stood up.At this time, there are still 40 seconds before the launch of the escape pod.

"Let's go! Let's go together!"

They ran to the equipment area next to them, where escape pods were placed 1.5 times the number of people on the bridge, and more than half of them were left at this time.Three of the hatches were open, waiting for them.

Jin Shang quickly got into one of them and closed the hatch.The hatch was locked, and the coordinates kept flashing. Until the last moment, he didn't know where the escape pod would send him.

At this moment, through the hatch, he saw that the two did not enter the single cabin he had prepared, but reopened a double escape cabin.

"You guys are crazy! There are less than ten seconds left!"

Jin Shang was also going crazy, and it was too late to get out of the hull in ten seconds.He has seen that Wei Zong has set up a self-destruct program!He tugged on the safety lock and slammed on the front cover of the cabin door desperately, trying to rush out.

[The escape procedure is starting, all the crew have abandoned the ship, the coordinates are unknown, Cosmic Day wishes you well]

The spherical escape capsule fell back into launch orbit.

Jin Shang patted on the hatch cover desperately, and while retreating, he saw that the two had just closed the hatch.Then there was a flash in front of his eyes, and he was instantly thrown into the warp space.

"Evil dog boy!! Your Highness, you are crazy——"

[The self-destruct procedure is starting, and the Constitution will broadcast the time for you at the end. It is now, Jialai Wansi Calendar, Lunar New Year, January [-]th.Let's meet and bid farewell, see you by fate]

boom----

The USS Constitution exploded after just 15 minutes.

This burst of dazzling brilliance spread to half the planet, dragging the six battleships behind him into the induced explosion, and blooming brilliant clouds of fire.
