Traveling through the infinite wasteland

Staring at the bottom of the speeding car, countless beautiful maids in palace costumes were busy or playing there, and various picturesque scenery passed by under the speeding car. Waves of refreshing fragrance inadvertently filled his internal organs. The source energy in the body trembled slightly, and a flying and jumping vitality was slowly triggered!

"This fragrance is a fragrance made by mixing and refining the flower juices of more than a hundred rare mutant plants in the star sea!" Luo Hanxing secretly explained to him with his mental fluctuations. "It has the effect of eternal youth for ordinary people, and it is effective for high-end people." The practice of Star Awakeners has many benefits such as tempering the physique, purifying energy, stabilizing genes, etc. It is said that one gram costs thousands of crystal nuclei!"

"Thousands of crystal nuclei per gram?" He couldn't help but be shocked. "Such a large palace would evaporate tens of tons of essence every day, right? How much would it cost to afford burning it?"

"Hey! Not one, but eight entire palaces are like this! This is the style of the royal family of a great country!"

"..."

A few minutes later, the motorcade landed in the square in front of the palace. Everyone filed out and lined up again. Under the guidance of a palace female official, they walked humbly towards the main entrance of the palace!

In the main hall, His Majesty the Emperor, the supreme ruler of the empire, was reviewing documents behind the desk.

"Are everyone here?" He put down the light pen in his hand, raised his head, looked at the officials in the hall, and asked in a calm tone.

"Back to Your Majesty! There are a total of 2,151 officials of all ranks who are eligible to meet this time, and they are all here!" the female official responded solemnly.

The emperor nodded lightly and looked at the many ministers under the jade star.

"Good day, Your Majesty!"

More than two thousand officials bowed in unison and greeted in respectful and neat voices.

"Your Majesty, no courtesy!" The emperor smiled calmly, "The war on the frontline is tense. Please remember your responsibilities and do your best for the peace and stability of the empire! I am very relieved! I will be rewarded later!"

"Your Majesty, resist foreign aggression and defend the glory and dignity of the empire! It is the duty of our ministers! I dare not take credit!" Marshal Gurungs said solemnly.

"The imperial decree states that meritorious deeds should be rewarded, and delinquencies should be punished. The rewards and punishments should be clear! Only then can the superiors and soldiers work together as one, and the soldiers will use their lives!" His Majesty said in a calm tone, "The empire is in a troubled time, and an unprecedented powerful enemy has invaded. I hope you all will Let's work together to overcome the difficulties! I will not hesitate to reward those who have made the greatest contributions!"

Is this the emperor of the empire? Sure enough, the magnanimity is extraordinary!

Ye Qingyuan stood at the back among the generals, squinting at the middle-aged man with the most prominent position in the empire. He had seen him on TV before, but today was the first time he saw him in person.

I don’t know what his Majesty’s temperament is like or what his cultivation level is! According to rumors, he is still a monarch with some ambitions and achievements. It's a pity that some families have racial constraints and are unable to implement some of their own innovative policies as they wish. In fact, this is also a problem faced by all emperors of the empire! It is difficult for even the wisest people to come up with effective means to solve the problem!

The throne where the emperor is sitting is protected by several extremely obscure energy fields, which even with his perception cannot penetrate! Let’s see how far this His Majesty’s cultivation has reached.

In the vast hall, dozens of powerful auras were vaguely enveloped, especially the middle-aged purple-clothed palace lady beside the emperor. After just one glance, he immediately lowered his gaze and restrained himself. All the brain waves of a person!

The female officer in purple with a pretty face and a demure and elegant expression raised her head and glanced lightly in his direction. When she saw the young lieutenant general with a hint of childishness in his face, her wavered expression There was a hint of new reward in his calm eyes.

His Majesty the Emperor delivered a passionate speech, and then announced that a banquet would be held in the side hall to entertain the ministers.

After everyone finished saluting, the palace maids led them out one by one.

In the side hall on the side, a banquet has already been held, and all kinds of delicacies are served by young palace ladies in white gauze. There are also special female officials to coordinate the seating arrangement!

Ye Qingyuan sat at the same table with the generals of the 17th Legion. Because they had fought side by side many times in the past and had experienced life and death, they all had a good relationship! The atmosphere was harmonious as we talked and laughed!

His Majesty the Emperor only drank a few drinks at the beginning of the banquet, then excused himself and allowed the ministers to enjoy their drinks.

He was drinking with his colleagues, and before a few rounds, a female officer in red came over.

"Lieutenant General Ye Qingyuan?" she asked uncertainly.

"Yes!" He corrected his expression and said politely: "I don't know what's wrong with you!"

"Important! I order you to go to the Xuanwu Hall for an audience immediately!" Female officer Su Rong announced.

"……no problem!"

His heart sank, what was supposed to come had come!

The female officer in red was walking leisurely in front of her, and Ye Qingyuan was two steps behind her, following her silently. Enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way.

Xuanwu Hall is not far away, but it only takes a few minutes.

Before entering the door, he took a deep breath and walked in without looking back! It's a blessing, not a curse, it's a curse that can be avoided! Whether you can come out alive today depends on God's arrangements!

After entering the palace gate, the female officer led him forward, twisting and turning, and came to an antique and spacious study room.

He stood at the door and watched the female officer go in to report. Soon, he came out and signaled that he could go in.

He lowered his head slightly and entered the study door. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the figure behind the bright yellow gold-plated bookcase. He didn't dare to look at it, and immediately bowed and saluted, and humbly said: "Lieutenant General Ye Qingyuan, deputy commander of the Seventeenth Superpower Corps of the Empire, has an audience with Your Majesty. !”

There was a dead silence in the study, no one spoke, and he did not dare to raise his head, still waiting calmly.

After a moment, a gentle and gentle voice sounded: "Yun Qing, there is no need to be polite, just sit down and talk!"

A palace maid had already brought a seat, and after bowing again, she sat down. He could really see His Majesty's true face at such a close range.

This majesty also has a twelve-star cultivation level, but his aura is slightly scattered and his energy is not pure enough. It should be because he has only been promoted recently. It is understandable at first glance. As an emperor, he has to deal with many things every day. It is difficult for him to have a lot of time to concentrate on practice like ordinary awakened people! It is almost as if he has almost infinite resources as a backing, and he may not have too high a level of cultivation!

Behind the desk, the emperor put down the documents in his hands and said softly: "Do you know why I summoned you alone today?"

"This...please make it clear, Your Majesty!"

He smiled slightly and said: "I have read your information. A genius who was born into wealth and grew up among the people really interests me!"

"You haven't been practicing superpowers for a long time, it can even be said to be a short time, but you can actually grow to your current height. Even I have to be surprised by your talent! After joining the army, you have made many military exploits. You are indeed a member of the Empire. Role model!”

"Serving the Empire and being loyal to His Majesty is the duty of our Imperial people! I am unworthy of Your Majesty's praise!" He responded cautiously.

The emperor smiled and said: "You don't need to be humble, this is all your credit! I will not praise someone for no reason! I asked you to come this time, firstly, to see the empire's youngest lieutenant general Jian Ganxing What kind of person are you? Fortunately, you did not disappoint me! You do have real abilities, and you are not someone who is deliberately touted by the people below!"

"Secondly, your genetic sample has been analyzed and cracked by the Imperial Academy of Sciences. It is indeed very good! For this reason, the Empire will make many breakthroughs in the field of genetic technology! All of this is your credit!"

He stood up and walked to Ye Qingyuan's side. When he saw him standing up, he waved his hand to indicate that he didn't have to. He smiled and said, "Did you know? Not long ago, the empire's first seventh-grade DNA awakening potion was released! With its effect, I was finally promoted to the twelfth star!"

Ye Qingyuan thought about it and said honestly: "This shows that your Majesty's genes are also extremely good, but because he is in his position and has many things to do, he has no time to practice. Otherwise, with his qualifications, he would have become a demigod! "

"Haha... You are quite frank! Unlike those hypocritical old people!" The emperor smiled casually, "Okay! The reward I gave you that time was still a little less, which makes me seem a bit stingy! This time, I’ll give you another promotion, and from now on, you will be the third-class Viscount!”

He hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your love!"

"Well, this time, there is one more thing I want to tell you!" The emperor nodded lightly and motioned for him to sit down again: "I already know the grudges between you and the Yun family! That lineage between Cheng Guiyun and your father I also know something about the grievances! This time I called you here just to inquire, are you willing to reconcile with that family? "

"What? Reconciliation?" He was startled.

He never expected that His Majesty the Emperor would talk about this topic when he summoned him this time.

"Your Majesty! It seems that this issue is not something that I can decide!" He said hesitantly, "From the beginning, I didn't plan to get anything from the Yun family! I don't even know the grudges between my father and the current head of the family. It's better to be that one Cheng Guiyun has a ghost in his heart, but does he care about this? Since he insists on putting me to death, there is nothing to say. Although my life is not valuable, not just anyone can take it away. of!"

The emperor heard this and said: "I know that the main responsibility should indeed be borne by him! However, I want to make it clear that the current empire is in a troubled time and internal fighting cannot be tolerated! Both of you are loyal ministers of the empire. , they are all serving the country, why bother clinging to those old grudges?"

Ye Qingyuan said simply: "I can only obey His Majesty's orders, but I don't know what the attitude of the family leader is? He dared to assassinate me, a high-ranking officer of the empire, one after another. It is obvious that he does not take the laws of the empire to heart. It’s on! If he is willing to give in, it’s okay not to mention this matter!”

The emperor nodded lightly: "I'm very pleased that you can make such an estimate. I will definitely help you solve this matter, don't worry!"

As he said that, he turned to face the huge jade screen on the side and said loudly: "Brother Yun, after listening to me for so long, it's time for you to come out and express your stance, right?"

Ye Qingyuan stared there with some confusion, not knowing which character was hiding behind.

"Understood, Your Majesty!" A humanoid shadow echoed.

It was a middle-aged man in luxurious clothing, with a handsome face, but his eyes were sinister and deep, and his expression was extremely cold and arrogant!

"Cheng Guiyun?" he asked in surprise.

He had seen photos of the other party before, but he didn't expect that the culprit who had been hiding in the imperial capital and launched many assassination operations against him would actually follow His Majesty the Emperor on the expedition this time! I also met him on this occasion.

The current head of the Yun family, Prince Cheng Guiyun, looked at him with a mixed expression. There was regret, envy, sadness, nostalgia, and deep disgust and jealousy!

"Lieutenant General Ye Qingyuan, long time no see!" His Highness the Prince said expressionlessly.

He exhaled slowly, clenching and unclenching his fists involuntarily. He looked at His Majesty the Emperor beside him. He finally stabilized his emotions and said slowly: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I really can't believe it." , we will meet here!"

"I have been wondering, if I can see you one day, what method should I use to express my respect for you? If you are still alive by then!"

Cheng Guiyun smiled coldly: "If that day comes, there is only one possibility, that is, you will be escorted to me as a prisoner of the star! Lieutenant General, don't think you are very powerful. If I really want to kill you , even if you have a hundred lives, it won’t be enough for you to die!”

His eyes suddenly condensed, and then he smiled softly: "Do you dare to repeat what you said?"

Cheng Guiyun ignored him, turned to the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, you have also seen that this son is unruly and resentful. He is an immature wolf cub! If he is used again, he will definitely become a vicious man in the future. A cunning, domineering man! He is definitely not a blessing to the empire. I suggest that he should be stripped of his title and demoted to an ordinary soldier in order to pay for his crime and perform meritorious service!"

Ye Qingyuan's expression remained unchanged, and the murderous intent in his heart had reached its peak!

Old thing, if you weren't here, if it wasn't for His Majesty's mediation, do you think you would still have the chance to talk nonsense to me? I thought I'd let you go for your daughter's sake. Since you don't know life or death personally, you can't blame me!

The emperor said calmly: "Brother Yun, what you said is a bit too much! I also know something about what happened back then, and even my imperial concubine suffered an unreasonable disaster! However, this is a family matter of your Yun family, and After all these years, there’s no point in pursuing it again!”

"I'm calling you here now to find Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com to resolve this grudge! No matter who was right or wrong in the past, don't hold on to it anymore! The current situation in the empire is difficult, and we should work together to help each other! Determined No more internal fighting is allowed!"

"Ye Qingyuan has reached this point by relying on his own efforts. All his honors are earned by him through life and death, on the battlefield! He can be called a model for the people of the empire! He did not rely on your Yun family in the slightest. Why can't you tolerate him?"

Cheng Guiyun said nothing with a livid face.

The emperor added: "Here today, I will propose a solution! All the rights and wrongs in the past will be ignored! How about that?"

Ye Qingyuan said calmly: "Your Majesty, please make it clear!"

"The previous head of the family, Yun Tianque, has expelled your father Yun Yuxi from the family race. His name is no longer in the family tree. Naturally, you have nothing to do with the Yun family anymore!" The emperor said solemnly, "My opinion is that Understand, let Prince Cheng Guiyun give you a generous compensation at once! And you make a public statement through the Imperial Council of Superiors, temporarily revealing everything you may have in the Yun family, and severing all relations with the Yun family! From now on, both parties Everyone goes his own way, and there can be no more conflicts!" (To be continued.)
