40,000 Years of Cultivation

Li Yao took a deep breath, took two steps forward, put his hands on the table, looked at Lei Chenghu through the cold metal desk, and said every word: "I don't want to see the creatures in the center of Xinghai become charcoal, and I don't want to. In the face of a fragmented and on the verge of collapse of human civilization, it is even more intolerable that the flesh and blood puppets of the Covenant Alliance that do not have seven emotions and free will sweep the entire universe, so that my compatriots and children and grandchildren will have to deal with the Pangu tribe or any kind of universe gods and demons. Kneel down, kneel down three times and knock down nine times!

"His Royal Highness can prevent this from happening, so I will stand firmly on her side and do my best to support her.

"Assuming that Her Royal Highness can't stop all of this, and even bring great disaster to the center of the Star Sea, then, who can stop her, who can end all the chaos, I will stand by that side.

"In the final analysis, I am not loyal to Her Royal Highness the Queen or the empire, but loyal to human civilization itself!

"General Lei, are you satisfied with this answer?"

Lei Chenghu stared at Li Yao's faintly twinkling eyes for a while, nodded and said: "I understand. It seems that you and Her Royal Highness are indeed different. This makes me very curious about what you are. Origins, how could Her Royal Highness cultivate you... an eclectic, ingenious, unique existence?"

Li Yao smiled, did not answer, but changed the subject: "General Lei, how likely do you think your Royal Highness has'gambled on fire'? No matter how ambitious she is and desire supreme power, she will not May be the enemy of the entire Xinghai? Let’s not say whether she can swallow the four major electors’ families on her own, but that the main force of the Saint League is still watching in the dark. She will be stupid and crazy to such an extent, look. Isn't that point?

"If you work so hard to usurp the supreme power of the empire, but you are profited by the fishermen of the Holy League, wouldn't it be the biggest joke?"

"I don't know where the confidence of Her Royal Highness comes from. Maybe she has more unknown cards, similar to... you exist."

Lei Chenghu said indifferently, "I only know that for a gambler, the probability of'over betting' is 100%. There is no such word as'if you see good' in the gambler's dictionary, no matter if you win at the beginning, It doesn't matter if you lose, the gambler will only bet more and more chips again and again, until they lose all their flesh and blood and soul.

"I am such an inextricable gambler. Her Royal Highness bet more than me, and now I have tasted the sweetness of desperate betting. Will she really stop in time? I...very doubt."

Li Yao and Lei Chenghu fell silent at the same time, showing thoughtful expressions one after another.

But the thoughts surging in their minds are obviously completely different.

Although the sea of ​​stars is vast, human ambitions are even more exuberant. No matter how many stars and the world are destined to carry, it must overflow.

At this moment, the battlefield communicator on the metal desk spurred a signal from the flagship of the Deep Sea Fleet, the Long Yuan.

The image of the white-haired witch appeared silently between the two like a ghost.

"Li Shiwei, it's been hard work. Your performance is very good. It really exceeded my expectations. It seems that I have to reassess your role in the entire wave of innovation and your position in the new empire."

Li Linghai, the queen of the empire, smiled at Li Yao meaningfully, then turned to Lei Chenghu, and said with a spring breeze, "General Lei, I have fulfilled my promise. On behalf of the reformists, I have obtained the full support of the Li family, and I have lived up to the bloodshed of you and all the soldiers. Sacrifice?"

"His Royal Highness counts as an exhaustive plan, naturally everything is in your hands."

Lei Chenghu said calmly, "However, I'm even more curious about how you convinced the'silver fox' Li Jiande - if I didn't guess wrong, now the Li family is still in charge of Li Jiande, right?"

"It's very simple."

Li Linghai wrote lightly, "Li Jiande and I said that the entire reformist, as well as you and the Thunder Fleet, have all been used by me. The Li family can use the reformists, General Lei, and the Thunder Fleet as knives, and stab the Dongfang family to make the reforms. Both the Pai and the Dongfang family suffered both losses, and the Li family could take advantage of the situation to reap their profits.

"The old fox Li Jiande has been living and breathing for a hundred years without dying. What did he do, didn't he want to see the day when the Dongfang family fell? How could he not be tempted?

"Furthermore, we have such a big thorn inserted between the Li family's confidant, and if we don't say anything, we can give the Li family a blow. It shows that it is a situation where the jade and the stone are burned. How will he choose in the end? ?"

"Sounds very reasonable."

Lei Chenghu said, "Then how do we know that this is just rhetoric, not your true thoughts. You are deceiving Li Jiande on behalf of the reformers, not that the Li family is using the reformers?"

"Of course I'm using you. Isn't General Lei also using me? Everyone has common interests. Isn't it the most stable and reliable relationship for mutual benefit? Isn't it the most stable and reliable relationship, more reliable than any blood relationship, kinship, or justice? ?"

Li Linghai said of course, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, General Lei and Li Shiwei, I sincerely believe in the idea of ​​‘renovating the empire’ and vowed to wipe out all the decadent forces and systems.

"I have neither the slightest attachment to the Li family nor any interest in it. The reason is very simple-with such advanced technology, such advanced civilization, and the increasing number of low-level immortals, wise, no matter how suppressed, they are becoming more and more civilized today. The rule of the family of the electorate, which is similar to the feudal monarchy, is too backward, too crude, and too fragile.

"This way of one person and one surname dominating the world, even in the ancient repair era, often not even a planet can be completely ruled, let alone now, each family has to rule more than a dozen or dozens of large worlds. It is necessary to suppress more than 99% of the heroes and stubborn dragons and snakes with a family descent that only accounts for a few fractions of the total population. How can such a rule be long and how can it be stabilized?

"From this point of view, even the current system of the empire is much more advanced than the internal systems of the four major electoral families. Anyhow, the empire has the Senate, and the interests of all parties must be balanced in the Senate, and the decline of imperial power is also As a result of the rise of miscellaneous surnames, many people are more or less able to make some noises, and there are narrow and rugged but visible roads to the sky.

"And in the territories of the four major electoral families, as long as they don't have the surname Li, Yun, and Dongfang, they will never make it out. As for the many insults, struggles and unspeakable rules within the family, there are even more so.

"Such a ten-thousand-year-old carrion-like system has severely restricted the combat power and creativity of everyone in the general territory. How can it lead the empire into the future? It is just a deformed freak, a reversal of history. Crushed and eradicated without mercy.

"My ambition is so big that the entire empire may not be prosperous for the entire star sea. How can I bind my destiny to such a family that is bound to decline and perish?"

Lei Chenghu and Li Yao glanced at each other, then pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, of course I am willing to believe and support Her Royal Highness the Queen, and work with the Li family for the time being.

"Now that we have received the full support of the Li family, what should we do next? We can't mobilize the direct line of the Li family to go to full-scale war with the elites of the Dongfang family, right?"

"Of course it's impossible. Li Jiande will never agree with such a simple and crude method. We are innovation, not a civil war."

Li Linghai was confident, "Please rest assured, General Lei, in this matter, I absolutely have a sense of measure, our goal is very clear,'only punish the first evil, do not ask the rest', first do everything possible to win the Prime Minister Dongfang Wang, fight Break down the cabinet of Dongfangwang!"

Lei Chenghu shook his head and said: "Dongfangwang has been the prime minister of the empire for 20 years, and his family members are all over the world. Both in the imperial capital and in many powerful heavy industrial worlds, there are inextricably intertwined and intertwined relationships. To win the prestige of victory, with the title of'Iron-Blooded Prime Minister', for no reason to want Dongfang Wang to step down, and even defeat his entire cabinet-how is it possible?"

Li Linghai said: "If the other three parties oppose the Dongfang family together, it is possible."

Lei Chenghu said coldly: "Leave aside the Li family, the other two electors are also treacherous, cunning, and exquisite generations. How can they tear their skin and become an enemy of the Dongfang family?"

Li Linghai smiled and said: "If we have a way to ruin Dongfangwang, the Dongfang family will be accused by thousands of people and reach the point of'every countryman can kill.' Even strong people in the Dongfang family will oppose Dongfangwang. "Qiqiaolinglong" generation, I am afraid that they will tear through the mask of false feelings, revealing the true face of "cruel and insatiable", come to the bottom of the stone, and get a piece of the pie from the east."

Lei Chenghu's eyes flashed: "How can Dongfang Wang be ruined?"

"Blood League event."

Li Linghai said, "Everything happened because of it, and naturally it also comes down to this matter. This conspiracy was 100% made by Dongfangwang. If his crime can be thoroughly exposed, the world will know that Dongfangwang planned the assassination. A veteran of the Eastern clan, then, no matter whether he is inside or outside the clan, he will be overwhelmed!"

Lei Chenghu laughed blankly: "Even if the event of the Blood League is really planned by Dongfangwang, with his wisdom and scheming, will we leave us with the slightest handle?"

"If you don't have a handle, you can create it yourself. Anyway, this matter is really inseparable from him, and it doesn't count as wronging him."

Li Linghai said, "Of course, this is a deadly killer move with a sword to seal the throat. There is no 100% success rate. It must not be used easily. Before the truth of the'Blood League Event' is revealed, I have prepared a lot for the Dongfang family. With the support of the Li family now, the media and networks of the entire empire are no longer obstacles to the'cannonballs'. These cannonballs can be launched one by one, blasting the Dongfang family into confusion, and he has no time to take care of it.

"General Lei, Shiwei Li, get ready, we can return to the imperial capital upright and start a decisive battle."

Both Li Yao and Lei Chenghu were slightly startled: "So fast?"

"Hurry up, but I am desperate, and I feel like an arrow at home."

Li Linghai grinned, with white hair drifting across his head, like a vengeful female ghost, "What's more, I left a small gift for the Senate and the Prime Minister in the Imperial Capital. Seeing... I should also be on the table. That's it!"
