For the next two days, the Chu family brothers and sisters stayed in the September Flower Battleship and did not go out.

Two days later, according to the itinerary, the September Flower Fleet left the military port of Fort 2 and entered the high-speed interstellar passage to fly towards the last stop of the visit: the Giant Bear Fortress.

The distance between the two fortresses is only 10 light years, and the maximum flight speed limit of the last high-speed interstellar passage is as high as 300C, and it takes about 12 days to fly over this distance.

Of course, if you want to fly faster to the Giant Bear Fortress, you can also use quantum jumps, but the province of Kawayue is quite strict about quantum jumps, and except for the warships in this province, other ships are forbidden to jump.

Therefore, the brothers and sisters of the Chu family can only fly along the high-speed channel honestly.

With an indescribable urgency, the Chu family brothers and sisters finally survived this boring journey, and on the afternoon of the 12th standard day, the September Flower finally arrived at the end of the high-speed channel.

The moment the fleet left the passage, it received a clear and stable communication message: "This is the No. 1 Giant Bear Fortress in Ha Yue Province, please reduce the speed of the spacecraft to 0.01C within 10 seconds after receiving this message, and please make sure that all the fire equipment of the fleet is locked to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings." ”

At the same time, the holographic display of the September Flower fleet suddenly lit up, and a white sun the size of a date appeared, and in the background of the sun, there were patches of black shadows. These shadows are all artificial stars, and there are so many of them that they occupy almost one percent of the horizon.

One percent may not be high enough, but when you think of the cosmic space in which light seconds are in front of you, you will be surprised at the sheer number of these artificial stars.

Chu Mulian turned on the optical scanner, looked at it for a while, then turned his head to his brother and said, "There are a total of 1,291 artificial stars, of which 132 are inhabited space cities, and the rest are all kinds of interstellar factories. The largest of these is a solar harvesting sail, which is estimated to have an output of at least 1 trillion megawatts in terms of area and material properties, which is a very large amount of cheap energy, and can even support a super-large spiritual rough stone synthesis factory. ”

Chu Muping looked at the magnificent space building in the hologram, and his eyes showed incomparable shock: "This is almost the capital of God." Where did the governor of Hayue get so much money? ”

Before, he told his father that the money of the governor of Heyue was borrowed from the wealthy interstellar merchants, which was not nonsense, he did find evidence, but now the cost of these super projects is already a huge amount of trillions of star shields, which is not at all affordable by the interstellar rich.

"It's really hard to explain." Chu Mulian couldn't figure it out.

The September Flower battleship continued to move forward, and as the distance continued to close, the Chu family brothers and sisters saw more details, and they became more and more shocked.

When the battleship of the Giant Bear Fortress came to guide the September Flower Fleet into the military port, Chu Muping suddenly sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Chu Mulian knew what his brother meant, and said in a low voice: "It's a pity. It's a shame that such a super project can create endless wealth, but it can only last for 10 years. ”

Soon, the fleet anchored into the military port, and the September Flower received the message again: "Two Highnesses, welcome to the No. 1 fortress of Heyue, the Governor still has some important matters to solve, so I can't receive you personally, but please don't worry, the Governor has carefully prepared a resting place for the two Highnesses in Bi Mercury, please go with peace of mind." ”

The brothers and sisters of the Chu family looked at each other.

"This governor's shelf is really big enough, we're all here, and we don't even show up." Chu Muping was a little displeased.

Chu Mulian persuaded: "Brother, it's all here, and it's not in a hurry." I heard that Blue Mercury is a scenic spot, so I just went to adjust my mind. lest you be impetuous, be caught by the other party, and suffer a big loss. ”

Although he is ready to ally with this governor, the benefit has always been a matter of consideration, and everyone likes to pay less and gain more.

This is reasonable, Chu Muping nodded: "That's good." I'd like to see what medicine is sold in the governor's gourd. ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Blue Mercury.

When the Chu family brothers and sisters arrived at the Giant Bear Fortress, Zhang Yuan also arrived at Bi Mercury, and he didn't go anywhere else, but went to the cage where Ye Liuyan was imprisoned underground.

After a few months, the inside of this cage has changed greatly, the central manor has not changed, but there are many more wooden houses next to the manor, and further on the periphery, there is a large area of cultivated farmland, and there are many farmers working on the fields.

When Zhang Yuan teleported to the balcony on the second floor of the manor, he saw Ye Liuyan sitting leisurely on a reclining chair, with two maids in simple cloth clothes kneeling beside him, and at the door of the balcony, there were two male warriors holding javelins and wearing animal skin clothes.

These are the clones that Zhang Yuan gave to Ye Liufei at the beginning, when they saw Zhang Yuan who came out of the teleportation light, the whole person was stunned, and after being stunned for a few seconds, the two maids immediately knelt on the ground, and the two male warriors threw the javelins in their hands, and also knelt on the ground, shouting: "God~God~"

This posture is a bit big, Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment, guessed that this should be Ye Liuyan's doing, and looked at Ye Liuyan.

Ye Liuyan smiled and said, "Look, my servant treats you as a god, and he kneels down so piously, shouldn't you give some rewards." ”

Seeing that she was happy to play, Zhang Yuan didn't spoil her interest, took out four white star shields worth 1 star shield, and threw them over one by one: "Take it, and then leave here." ”

No one doesn't like this kind of thing like the star shield, especially these clones who have never seen the world, when they see these shiny and delicate things, their eyes immediately widen, and after picking up the star shield with trepidation, they left the manor balcony happily.

Ye Liuyan was still lying on the chair, looking at the clone farmer working on the farmland in front of him: "Grand Governor, are you in trouble?" ”

Zhang Yuan walked to the edge of the balcony fence, first took out a bottle of fine star liquid wine and a set of exquisite wine utensils and put them away, and then said: "It's not a trouble, it's just a little doubtful, I met two strange people, some don't know how to deal with it." ”

Ye Liuyan's gaze moved to the dark blue star liquid wine, and licked his lips: "It's been a long time since I had coarse tea and light rice, and when I saw this extravagant thing, I actually missed it a little." You pour me a glass of wine first, and then talk to me. ”

Zhang Yuan complied, and when he handed over the wine glass, Ye Liuyan suddenly stroked the back of Zhang Yuan's hand, and when she saw Zhang Yuan's movements froze, she giggled: "Grand Governor, you are still as boring as before." ”

Zhang Yuan didn't hear it, he retreated to the balcony fence and continued: "These two people are noble, they are the third prince Chu Muping and his own sister, the imperial princess Chu Mulian......

As soon as she heard the names of these two people, Ye Liuyan put away her teasing look, and she interrupted Zhang Yuan's words: "It's so headless and brainless, I can't see anything." You might as well tell me everything that happened during this time, just to help me relieve my boredom. ”

Zhang Yuan thought for a while, nodded, and described in detail all the things that happened during this time, including the challenges he encountered, his own responses, and the various constructions of Heyue. Among them, the existence of Earth Federation officials, he replaced them with talents selected by civilians, and everything else has basically not changed.

When he finished speaking, Ye Liuyan didn't speak, only looked Zhang Yuan up and down.

"Shouldn't you say something?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"What can I say?" Ye Liuyan got up from the recliner and put his hand on the balcony railing: "You have embarked on an unprecedented path. There doesn't seem to be a place for nobility in your province. You are the facilitator of all this, and you have great prestige, so you don't have to worry about your status, but your children and grandchildren will not be able to inherit your glory. ”

"I can live for another 200 years, and it's not too late to talk about my children and grandchildren." Zhang Yuan smiled: "So, what do you think the purpose of these two people is?" ”

Ye Liuyan didn't answer, she looked at the clone in front of the manor, and was silent for a few minutes before she said: "My days are boring, your days are extremely exciting every moment, and you still have a desperate fighting talent, you can crush the conspiracy with your strength...... To be honest, I'm so jealous of you! ”

Zhang Yuan smiled faintly: "These should be classified as 'nonsense', right, Miss Ye?" ”

Ye Liuyan's face was expressionless: "You once said that you would let me out, when?" ”

"Two more years. At that time, whether I am the governor of Hayue or not, I will give you back your freedom. ”

"Two years is too long. If you let me out now and give me a new identity, I'd like to be your staff. If you're not at ease, you can also completely change my appearance so that everyone doesn't recognize me. What do you think? ”

When he said this, Ye Liuyan grabbed the corner of Zhang Yuan's clothes with both hands, and his face was full of expectation.

Zhang Yuan shook his head without hesitation: "No." ”

"It's really hard-hearted." Ye Liuyan's face was full of disappointment: "But if you just agree, I will despise you." ”

Zhang Yuan got to the point: "Tell me about these brothers and sisters." ”

Ye Liuyan smiled: "Congratulations, this pair of brothers and sisters should want to seek your help, in other words, they will be your strongest allies in the Crimson Empire." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Yuan's eyes lit up.

Ye Liuyan began to analyze: "Chu Muping, the mother family is powerless, and he is despised in the imperial capital, and there is no possibility of taking over the throne. Because of this, Chu Taixin was relieved to let him take over the position of the commander of the gray guard, but although the gray guard has great authority, it is not a good position, and he is the most easily hated, so it is difficult for Chu Muping to establish his own power, basically he is alone, once he falls out of favor, there are countless people who fall into the well. Chu Mulian is not only the former's own sister, but also the most important advisor under him, she only thinks about the interests of her brother and mother, and only plans for the future of this small family, which is also the common nature of the royal family. ”

Zhang Yuan listened carefully.

Ye Liuyan continued: "What you are doing now will undoubtedly anger the governors of other provinces, but you are the god of war, these governors dare not speak out, they can only join forces to resist you, you will be isolated by everyone, this is very disadvantageous, you must also feel this." For example, you can't get any help from the Crimson Empire right now, not even ordinary commercial trade, let alone absorb all kinds of advanced technology and import high-end raw materials, right? ”

"That's right." Zhang Yuan nodded.

Ye Liuyan continued: "You urgently need allies, Chu Muping needs strong reinforcements for his future life. Now, he offers to visit you. What does he want to do, is it still a guess? ”

Zhang Yuan suddenly, the fog in his heart was gone, and he bowed to Ye Liuyan: "Miss Ye, thank you for your advice." ”

So saying, he was about to leave.

"Wait."

"Please."

"I'm a god in the hearts of these clones now, but as a god, I can't give anything to reward mortals, this god is so shabby. You get me a low-end 3D printer and send me some more clones. If you are more generous, you can help me expand this underground space, and I can relieve my boredom. ”

This is a small request, which can be solved with millions of star shields, Zhang Yuan nodded: "As you wish." ”

After saying that, the teleportation began, and his body quickly turned from real to void, disappearing into the underground space.

Ye Liuyan looked at the empty balcony and let out a long sigh: "I actually released such a freak." Chu Taixin, you should have a headache now. ”
