Jiang Ningtao's movements were quite fast, and he didn't know whether it was because he was anxious to save people or someone else. Early the next morning, his deputy came and knocked on Xiao Tingyun's dormitory door, saying that he would be there in the afternoon.

Send a new fleet to the red restricted area to rescue people and remind Xiao Tingyun to prepare early.

As soon as the deputy with the rank of major left, Duan Lishu, who heard the noise next door, also opened the door and came out.

Looking at the back of the speeding car going away, Duan Lishu still had a toothbrush in his mouth and said to Xiao Tingyun inarticulately: "It seems that Lao Jiang is in a hurry. He will send a fleet to rescue this afternoon. He probably started last night."

Had an all-night meeting."

He did not hide at all what he had hidden next door to eavesdrop on. Looking at Xiao Tingyun's calm expression, Duan Lishu took the toothbrush out of his mouth and said, "I thought he would let His Highness rest for two more days.

.”

Xiao Tingyun also had a dry towel hanging around his neck. It was obvious that he was preparing to wash up before the major came knocking on the door. After listening to Duan Lishu's words, he smiled and turned around and replied as he entered the door: "

Saving people is like putting out fires. How can I have time to rest for two more days? What's more, many people are focusing on the Third Army Corps, Xingyun College, the ministers at the court meeting, and people from the military department, Jiang Tuan.

I don’t dare to delay it for a long time.”

Duan Lishu watched Xiao Tingyun turn around and go back to the house. He stood at the door of his house for a long time and then said softly: "That's right, we can't delay this matter. The longer we delay, the more people will pay attention, and the more people will pay attention.

Some actions are no longer easy to do."

At two o'clock in the afternoon on Caesar Star, several starships at the star port were ready to go.

Xiao Tingyun was wearing the training uniform of Nebula Academy and was ready to board the ship with the soldiers of the Third Legion beside him.

The person in charge of leading people to the red restricted area for rescue this time is Brigadier General Pei Ming of the Third Army. He is also the third person in the Third Army besides the chief and deputy commander. It is said that once Jiang Ningtao steps down or is transferred, then the final

The person who has the possibility of becoming the commander of the Third Army is him.

Pei Ming is not too old, only about forty years old. To be able to become a brigadier general at his age is because he was promoted through solid military achievements.

Xiao Tingyun didn't know much about Pei Ming, because Pei Ming was too low-key and had not returned to the Imperial Capital Star for many years. He rarely attended even the military reward ceremony held every five years on the Imperial Capital Star.

And precisely because Pei Ming is so low-key, even Xiao Tingyun doesn't know his true position.

But this time Jiang Ningtao gave him the task of rescuing people, and Xiao Tingyun had some thoughts in his mind. Either Pei Ming and Jiang Ningtao were from the same group, or Jiang Ningtao wanted to use this opportunity to get rid of him. As for what happened

Which kind...

Xiao Tingyun's eyes flashed and he turned his head to look at Duan Lishu, who was not far away from him.

At this time, Lishu was standing not far away with a thousand soldiers of the Long Family Army, but he himself was pulling Jiang Ning to talk about something.

Xiao Tingyun saw the embarrassment on Jiang Ningtao's face and thought that the content of what Duan Lishu said to him at this moment was not what Jiang Ningtao wanted to hear.

When Duan Lishu pulled Jiang Ning and talked non-stop, Xiao Tingyun thought about it and walked over. As soon as they walked in, they heard what Duan Lishu was saying.

"Lao Jiang, please speak. It's just a few words, okay or not. Are you so embarrassed?" Duan Lishu pulled Jiang Ningtao and refused to let him go. This rogue behavior did not have the bearing of a dignified major general. However,

But he didn't care at all, and kept saying: "It's just a matter of words. You are acting like an old woman and asking His Highness to follow us, but it doesn't mean that he will not be allowed to participate in the assessment."

Jiang Ningtao never thought that he would be pestered by Duan Lishu when he came to see him off. If he had known that this would happen, he would not have come. However, now that he is pestered and unable to leave, plus the starship over there is

It was time to start boarding the ship, but Duan Lishu still kept pestering him, and Jiang Ningtao was as big as the other two.

"Is this just a matter of words? Your Highness is here for the graduation assessment, and his assessment content is to follow our people to rescue people. What's going on if you let His Highness board your starship?"

"Why can't it work? Aren't our starships going to follow you to rescue people?"

"You are here to help, and you are here to help privately. The rules and regulations cannot be justified, okay!?" Jiang Ningtao said angrily: "You still let His Highness go with your starship, which is even more against the rules. You

Do you want others to say that His Highness cheated on his graduation examination?!"

Jiang Ningtao was so anxious that his face turned green, but Duan Lishu still dragged him around. Just when the two were arguing, Xiao Tingyun finally came to the rescue.

"General Duan." Xiao Tingyun also heard the reason for the entanglement between the two, and even more understood that Duan Lishu insisted that he follow the Long Family Army's starship to protect his safety, but Xiao Tingyun still said: "

The assessment system cannot be changed, and you should not make things difficult for Commander Jiang anymore. What are the regulations? You cannot make me special because of my status."

Xiao Tingyun's words made Duan Lishu, who was dragging Jiang Ning Tao around, speechless. Especially when he saw the unquestionable look in Xiao Tingyun's eyes, Duan Lishu could only give up and said: "Okay then.

, Is it okay if I send His Highness up?"

Xiao Tingyun was riding the main ship in this fleet, which was also the command ship. Jiang Ningtao did not stop Duan Lishu's request to send him aboard. He even breathed a sigh of relief after Duan Lishu and Xiao Tingyun left.

.

The main ship is right in front, and the people of the Third Army are still integrating. Xiao Tingyun is just here for assessment, and is not counted as a member of the Third Army, so there is nothing wrong with staying here. No one will say anything if he goes up early.

.

Duan Lishu and Xiao Tingyun boarded the teleportation ladder of the main ship one after another. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Duan Lishu used the blocked angle to stuff a ball into Xiao Tingyun's hand.

thing.

Xiao Tingyun lowered his eyes and glanced at the small thing thrust into his hand, then gave Duan Lishu a confused look.

Duan Lishu lowered his voice and said: "The special communicator is exclusive to the Long Family Army. This thing is only available to our Long Family Army, and the communication signal is also exclusive to the Long Family Army." After speaking, he paused and then added:

"No interference from restricted areas."

Xiao Tingyun's eyes showed surprise, but Duan Lishu raised his lips at him and said proudly: "Don't worry and use it boldly. This thing has been tested by our Long Family Army."

Has it been tested?

Xiao Tingyun quickly understood and lowered his voice: "After you made this thing, you went to the red restricted area for testing?"

It’s not just the fifth galaxy that has red restricted areas, every galaxy has them, but the sixth galaxy has even more restricted areas.

Duan Lishu gave him an "I didn't expect that" look and chuckled: "Many years ago, our Long Family Army began to guard against those forbidden areas in the sixth galaxy that have not been explored by humans.

We don’t know about the galaxies, but in the sixth galaxy, those red restricted areas cannot be said to have not been explored. At least our Long Family Army will go in regularly to investigate and explore."

Xiao Tingyun nodded when he heard this. Without saying anything else, he stuffed the special communicator into his trouser pocket.

Duan Lishu saw him put it into his trouser pocket so casually, and couldn't help but remind him: "Put it away and don't throw it away. The cost of this thing is expensive. I will send you an instruction manual later. This thing

Not only can we communicate with each other, but we can also send out location calls for help. This time, I and the people I brought are wearing this thing. At the same time, the commander is always paying attention. If there is an accident, not only can we receive location calls for help.

The signal can also be received by the commander at the same time."

Xiao Tingyun nodded again to show that he understood. After sending him to the main ship, Duan Lishu went down without staying longer. However, Xiao Tingyun did not return to his rest cabin, but went to the control cabin to wait.

Bring others up.

Half an hour later, several starships in the starport took off one after another. In addition to three starships with the emblem of the Third Legion, there was also a starship with the emblem of the Long Family Army.

The four starships flew away from the star port, and then all accelerated out of the artificial atmosphere of Caesar Star, heading towards the red restricted area of ​​the fifth galaxy.

There are three red restricted areas in the fifth galaxy, the largest of which is also the one that the star thieves ran into is named -----Vilalvi Star Territory.

The Villalvi star field is behind a dense meteorite belt. If you want to reach this star field, you must first pass through that meteorite belt.

In fact, the size of the starship is not suitable for passing through the meteorite belt, because it is too large and is easily hit by meteorites. Generally, there is only one way for a starship to pass through the meteorite belt, which is to turn on the attack mode throughout the entire process and hit all the large and small objects around it.

All the small meteorites were shattered.

For a starship that sails in the star sea all year round, it is not difficult to destroy the dense meteorites in the meteorite belt, but the destruction process will slow down the starship's progress.

After the four starships safely passed through the meteorite belt, Xiao Tingyun and the others finally arrived in the Villarvi star field.

In the control cabin of the main ship, Pei Ming, as the person in charge of this rescue operation, never left here during the whole process. The huge porthole window showed the deep and mysterious unknown starry sky, and the communication channel on the main ship was always connected.

with several other starships.

As the announcement from the main ship system ended, Pei Ming looked serious and his eyebrows furrowed into a deep "Chuan" character.

He said in a deep voice to other people in the communication channel: "According to the last news sent back by the missing pursuit ship, they encountered the asteroid belt forty minutes after entering this star field, and then completely lost the news.

. Now we are about to arrive at the asteroid belt they mentioned before they lost contact, which is also the place where their positioning finally disappeared, so the captains of each ship are being cautious. We cannot predict what we will encounter near the asteroid belt."

"Roger." The voices of each captain came from the communicator on the console.

Different from the serious voices of the other three captains, Duan Lishu's lazy voice said, "Comodore Pei, did your Third Army's pursuit fleet say anything about the stars they were chasing in before they lost contact?

What happened to the thief in the end?"

It was probably the first time that Pei Ming encountered someone asking such a question in such a lazy voice during such an important task. After being stunned for a moment, he replied: "No, there was a lot of noise in the communication signal at that time. They

He left us no words and suddenly lost contact."

Duan Lishu laughed lazily, not knowing whether he didn't believe it or not, so he just replied: "Really?"

Then Duan Lishu temporarily turned off his communication without waiting for Pei Ming to say anything else.

Pei Ming frowned again. He originally wanted Duan Lishu to turn on the communication again, but before he could say anything, there was sudden noise from several other communication channels.

The captain sitting on the operating chair suddenly said: "Commodore, our signal has been interfered by unknown reasons. The closer we get to the asteroid belt, the stronger the interference."

Pei Ming reacted immediately, forcibly blocked Duan Lishu's communication, and said in a deep voice on the public channel: "All starships stop first."

Although the communication signal was interfered, Pei Ming's words were still transmitted to several other starships. After giving the order, the four starships stopped almost at the same time.

Pei Ming looked at the asteroid belt in front of him, and he only hesitated for a moment before making a decision: "Stay all the starships here, leave some people on the starships, and divide the others into teams of a hundred people, and enter in groups of five.

The spacecraft travels through the asteroid belt.”

The starship is kept here just in case, and the reason why people board the spacecraft to cross the asteroid belt is to pass through smoothly.

Pei Ming was the supreme commander of this operation, and even Duan Lishu would not refute his decision, so after he gave the order, people on each starship began to form teams to prepare for the transfer of aircraft.

Pei Ming turned to look at Xiao Tingyun who was silent behind him, and asked: "Your Highness, are you coming with me or do you want to take people on board the aircraft yourself?"

Although Xiao Tingyun stayed in the control cabin and didn't speak much during the whole journey, he was always silently observing Brigadier General Pei Ming. At this time, Pei Ming suddenly asked him, Xiao Tingyun seemed to think for a moment and then smiled: "

Although I am here with you to save people, the most fundamental reason is because of the graduation examination. If I had followed Brigadier General Pei all the way and was protected by you, Brigadier General, I might not be able to get anything done in the exam, so I

It’s better to get on an aircraft alone.”

Pei Ming nodded when he heard this and said: "I think it's good that Your Highness thinks so. This way, after the assessment is over, no one will say anything about you, let alone make people doubt your ability."

Xiao Tingyun raised his eyebrows and looked at Pei Ming with an inexplicable expression.

But Pei Ming seemed not to notice the inexplicable look in his eyes, and asked calmly: "Do you want to personally select the team members?"

Xiao Tingyun retracted his gaze, looked out the window, and said with a smile: "No, I trust the Brigadier General's vision. Let the Brigadier choose the team members as he pleases."

Pei Ming didn't say anything after hearing this. He nodded and strode out of the control cabin.

Xiao Tingyun followed immediately.

In groups of five, the soldiers of the Third Legion on the main ship were quickly separated, and lined up silently and solemnly on the bridge, preparing to enter the outer cabin.

Xiao Tingyun stood at the back of the team, waiting slowly with the team. However, not long after, Pei Ming came over with four young soldiers.

Xiao Tingyun looked at the four people behind Pei Ming and understood that these were the team members he had selected for him.

Pei Ming didn't stay much after handing the four of them over to Xiao Tingyun, and took the lead to leave the bridge and prepare to board the aircraft. However, before leaving, he said to Xiao Tingyun: "His Highness's mecha has been loaded onto the aircraft.

After you go up later, Your Highness, please remember to check it first."

Xiao Tingyun's eyes flashed, and then he nodded and smiled at Pei Ming: "Thank you, Brigadier General, for reminding me."
