Traveling through the infinite wasteland

The blond man's voice was calm: "Don't take it seriously. It is Crassus' duty to serve His Highness! I don't know what His Highness's orders are?"

"Come and take a look at this young man's information!" The prince kicked several maids away from the cabin for a while, then took out a paper document and handed it to him.

Crassus took it with both hands and looked through it carefully. The document was not long, only about ten pages, and the cover was a photo of a young, somewhat excessive, black-haired man. The reason why he is said to be too young is because he is wearing the uniform of a first-class admiral! There has never been a genius in the history of the empire who can wear this uniform based on his military exploits at this age!

"Why do you regard this man?" asked the prince.

"A guy with unbelievable talent and luck!" Crassus's voice also had a hint of trembling, "My subordinates have also paid special attention to this admiral's deeds before, but your highness's collection of information is more comprehensive. ! Is it because of this genius that you asked me to come today?"

The prince nodded lightly: "Yes, I plan to recruit him. As long as there is such a person working for me, I will have a lot more confidence in planning big things in the future!"

"That's true. Marshal Limason may retire because of his serious injuries! And with His Majesty the Emperor's regard for this young man, the position of director of the Empire's Super Power Corps in the future will largely belong to him! As long as His willingness to stand on His Highness’s side means that hundreds of the empire’s supernatural legions are on your side! What a huge help this is? When that day comes, His Highness’s status will be unshakable!”

"However, I invited him several times! But he turned them down with excuses!" The prince sighed softly. "I don't know what means sir can use to get him to come over?"

Crassus thought about it and asked, "His Royal Highness, there is also an invitation from Duke Fang Yukun. What is his attitude?"

"No one agreed, they all turned it down!"

"Is that so?" Crassus thought to himself for a while and said: "It seems that this young man already knows the whole story. He did this to stay alone and did not want to get involved in such a situation! Stand up to him From a standpoint, it’s a correct decision!”

"If he wants to be neutral, my life will not be so easy! No matter what, we have to find a way to pull him over!" His Highness the Prince, the second prince Fang Yanren said with some worry: "I am not worried about Lao 8. , I know all his tricks! The point is, that guy Fang Yukun has made great achievements this time and became the second marshal with a staff in the empire. He controls nine thousand elite warships. He is really a great threat to me! "

"Fortunately, he is not the father of the emperor, otherwise we wouldn't have to fight! If we just give up and quit, we will end up with a noble life!"

Crassus said calmly: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry, the matter is far from settled! No one dares to claim that he will win! Duke Fang Yukun's ability, merits, and popularity are indeed the highest! However, because of this , the pressure he is under is also extreme! Who can be sure that he will not have an accident? "

"Do you have any good ideas?" Fang Yanren perked up and asked.

"Good ideas are out of the question!" Crassus said with a smile, "The final decision on this matter still lies in the hands of His Majesty! And no one can guess His Majesty's thoughts at the moment! However, one thing is certain, for Fang Yukun This nephew was not as close to him as he had expected. This time he was given a marshal's scepter! To outsiders, it was a supreme honor and favor! However, from my subordinates' point of view, there seemed to be a possibility of compensation. Bigger!”

"Compensation? What do you mean?" Fang Yanren asked excitedly.

"There are many high-quality generals who have made great achievements in this expedition, but why is he the only one who has received the Marshal's Scepter? Is he the only one with the most outstanding achievements? Obviously not! In the eyes of outsiders, maybe he is from the royal race The identity comes into play! However, if you take a closer look, you can know that at the beginning, His Majesty never thought of considering him! Otherwise, for a candidate who will become the crown prince, wouldn't this title of marshal seem a bit redundant? "

"Yes! Why didn't I expect this?" Fang Yanren was so excited that he wandered back and forth in the cabin, "It seems that the father still prefers his own heirs. This is right! It seems that , as long as I defeat Old 8, this position may really fall into my hands!"

"Therefore, your main task at the moment is to keep an eye on His Highness 8!" Crassus said with a smile, "Whatever he wants to do, we must not let him do it! The talents he recruits must also be carefully considered and managed! Even, His Highness can secretly send some people to build momentum for him, and say that the position of Crown Prince belongs to him! Put him on the fire and roast him!"

"Praise for killing?" Fang Yanren thought for a moment, then knew what to do, and nodded gently: "Very good! Everything will be done according to Sir's opinion! Is there anything else to do? Sir, you might as well speak up!"

"This Ye Qingyuan, we still have to recruit people!" Crassus said, "His Highness will sit firmly in the throne in the future, and it will be impossible without military power! Therefore, I also ask His Highness to prepare a generous gift, and I am willing to go and chat with him in person! When necessary, in order to show sincerity, His Highness may even visit us in person!"

"No problem! As long as I can get him to agree to serve, I can still do this!" Fang Yanren laughed.

Imperial Palace, Jackal Hall.

In a quiet and elegant courtyard, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants decorate the place like a paradise. The breeze blows, bringing with it a fragrant and earthly atmosphere. A group of palace maids with beautiful faces and delicate bodies were busy beside a pool made of large pieces of blue jade, cleaning a series of crystal-clear honey squid fruits that looked like they were carved from the finest Jade Emperor crystal, and then It was served on a jade plate and carefully presented to a white jade platform a hundred steps away.

Sitting on the high platform is a beautiful woman with thin eyebrows and voluptuous figure. She is wearing a light yellow palace skirt. The neckline and skirt are embroidered with layers of complicated and exquisite patterns. The willow waist is tied with a wide edge and is inlaid with beads. The jade-inlaid belt and shiny black hair were simply rolled up, with a jade hosta pinned to it. His expression is calm and elegant, exuding an innate nobility!

A young man of about ten years old with a handsome face was playing more than ten meters away from her, and several little palace maidens of fifteen or fifteen were waiting beside her.

The woman stretched out her slender and delicate hands, picked up a honey fruit and put it into her mouth, chewing it slowly and methodically. This specialty product produced in the Taihao Star Territory is extremely delicious, and it has a very significant optimization effect on women's appearance, so it can be used with care. It is said that the annual output is only a few hundred kilograms, and the auction price of each fruit is more than 10 million! In the entire Shuofeng Empire, she was the only one who could taste it so luxuriously.

A female palace official in red came over softly, holding a pile of documents.

"Your Majesty the Queen! What you asked for is here!" The female officer stood about ten steps away from her and reported with a low eyebrow.

The woman known as the Queen raised her eyebrows, glanced at her lightly, and ordered: "Leave it alone for now!"

The female officer didn't dare to neglect. She came over and put the documents away, then stood aside with her head bowed.

The queen sat up straight, with her back and neck straight. She reached out and took out a document. She scanned it quickly, and then took another document. After a while, she had read all the documents. .

With a slight tap of his slender jade finger, the pile of documents instantly turned into a pile of powdery fine ash, as if it had gone through thousands of years!

"Those people have already started taking action!" the queen said casually.

"Yes! Silver, the governor of the Yiyuan Star Territory, united a group of officials and submitted a letter to His Majesty, please appoint the second prince as the heir apparent!" the female officer responded.

"Anything else?"

"Cheng Feng, the governor of the Tianyu Star Territory, also united a group of officials to write to His Majesty, please appoint the 8th prince as the heir apparent! A group of generals from the military department, led by General Di Rongxuan, strongly support Fang Yukun!"

"Did the other officials react?" the queen asked again.

"Some people started to cheer, while more people remained silent!"

The queen's pretty red lips twitched slightly, and she said with a half-smile, "None of those old guys who can really speak have expressed their opinions, right?"

"Yes! So far, none of the important ministers in the court have expressed their opinions on this matter alone!"

"Isn't this the end?" The Queen snorted coldly, "Those incompetent things are only capable of this! In addition to Fang Yukun, who also has some skills, those two losers actually dare to fight! I really don't know The sky is high and the earth is high!”

"How can they fathom His Majesty's thoughts?"

"Just wait and see! His Majesty will make big moves soon! Sooner or later, the great position in the empire will belong to Yuan'er, no one can take it away!" She looked at the young man who was nearby, arrogantly typical.

In the next few days, Ye Qingyuan gave up all social activities and only accompanied Luo Qingyue and his sister to travel around the major planets in the Tianhua galaxy. Go shopping in the most upscale shopping malls, dine in the top-notch hotels, and watch performances in the top-notch leisure and entertainment clubs. At this time, he seemed to have forgotten that he was still a big shot in the empire.

However, the happy time is always short-lived! On the morning of the fifth day, news came from the imperial palace, asking him to enter the palace immediately to see him. His Majesty had important matters to discuss with him.

The splendid palaces are one after another, and the long corridor paved with bright yellow crystal tiles stretches to the end of the line of sight, as if it will never end!

On both sides of the corridor, every twenty meters, stood two fully armed high-star awakeners wearing golden heavy light armor. Behind the high palace walls, rockeries, waterfalls, and attics, there were many cryptic things. And a powerful aura filled the air, and even the palace lady in yellow who was leading the way was a powerful person who was hiding deep! It can be seen that this seemingly peaceful imperial palace is actually an extremely heavily guarded fortress!

Along the way, there were at least hundreds of overbearing, gentle, obscure, or sharp energy auras sweeping over him! The owner of these auras was obviously extremely interested in and extremely horrified by his state! Such a young Twelve Star Awakener has never been heard of before!

"Your Majesty is in the pavilion directly in front. You can go there alone!" After walking for a while, when they came to a beautiful lake, the female officer stopped and turned to him.

The surface of the lake is like a mirror, and the blue water is crystal clear, like a flawless piece of emerald. In the very center of the lake is a small and elegant pavilion, connected to the shore by a long wooden bridge. Fang Xuqing was pouring himself a drink there.

"Thank you!" He nodded lightly and walked towards the bridge.

When the palace guards on the shore saw him coming, they didn't check him. They must have received orders in advance.

"Are you here?" Fang Xuqing tilted his head slightly and stared at the young general who walked in, with a faint smile on his face.

He raised his hand to stop him from saluting, pointed to the stone bench opposite and said, "Sit down and talk!"

Ye Qingyuan did as he was told and sat down on the stool.

Fang Xucheng looked at this young man with a calm face and clear eyes, and the new appreciation in his eyes became even stronger!

"Have you rested well at home?" He said with a smile, "I asked you to come here just for a small talk. You don't have to be too restrained!"

He raised his hand to pick up the wine bottle in front of him, only to find that it had already reached the bottom. Ye Qingyuan hurriedly took the silver pot next to him and filled a bottle for him.

"Okay, you should try it too! This is a treasure of the royal family, a fine wine from the sky, which was brewed by a certain prince who was fond of the things in the cup two thousand years ago!" Fang Xu held up the wine bottle and gently pointed it at him Signal.

Ye Qingyuan took a wine bottle, filled it up, touched it to him gently, and drank it in one gulp. When the refreshing wine entered my mouth, I felt a cool feeling that instantly spread throughout my limbs. The pores all over my body suddenly tightened, and then loosened again. It was as if my whole body and mind had been cleansed, and I couldn't be more comfortable. Cool.

"It's really good wine!" He praised, "And this wine vessel is also very good!"

Fang Xu smiled and said: "This set of wine sets is carved from a single piece of ice rhinoceros jade, and it was also made by the prince! It is indeed a good collection! If you like it, I will give it to you, and give you a few more Jar of wine, please take it back with you later!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" He quickly stood up and greeted.

After a pause, he asked with a smile: "His Majesty is really a good wine connoisseur. No wonder he can brew such a peerless wine! I don't know if he has kept it after he ascended the throne. www.zhaoshuyuaｎ.com This habit of making wine yourself?”

"I'm talking about the crown prince, not the emperor!" Fang Xucheng slowly played with the wine bottle in his hand and said calmly.

He was slightly startled: "Isn't the prince the future emperor? Yes, this prince died young and therefore failed to succeed to the throne?"

"Who said that the prince will definitely become the emperor?" Fang Xucheng's voice was still calm.

Ye Qingyuan felt awe-struck. At this moment, no matter how slow he was, he could still tell that His Majesty had something to say! Lian had guessed that today's summons would not be as simple as wine tasting and chatting after seeing some of the movements in the court in the past few days!

However, one thing he still didn't know clearly was that His Majesty didn't look very old, he was in his prime, and he had never heard of any serious illnesses. But if something unexpected happens, within fifty years the empire’s ruling and opposition parties will not need to think about this issue at all! Why did a group of officials suddenly jump out and make noise at this moment?

Besides, this situation is the emperor's family matter after all. If the foreign ministers are too involved, it will definitely be a disaster! He doesn't think he will be an exception either! Of course, it is even less possible to get involved directly. (To be continued.)
