Xiao Junling silently stared at the carved decorations on the ceiling, not knowing what to say.

The human tragedy in the northwest territory, how deep the water behind it is, people with a discerning eye can actually see a little bit - wasn't it for those high-ranking big people acquiescing in the back, or even secretly pushing it, did the northwest defense region make such a big mistake?

After being reborn by luck, he saw a little reason, and chose to lie dormant and forbear, concentrate on cultivation, develop silently, and gradually improve his strength. Looking forward to the day when I can reach the top and get justice from those damn bastards!

However, many overseas lords were unwilling to suffer this inexplicable loss, and at their strong request, the high-level leaders of the Lords' Association began to use their influence to investigate the truth of the Northwest tragedy at any cost!

The Lords' Association, although it is a civil organization, also has great influence in the Huaxia Empire and even the entire Star Sea Realm, and it is not inferior to the Silent Star Temple.

At the top of the guild is the Council of Lords, with the thirteen most powerful high lords as elders, as well as thirty-five ordinary members.

All council members are voted for, as long as they have a resource planet above level 2 in the savage galaxy and are willing to join the association, they all have the legal right to vote and be elected!

Among them, the elders of the council are re-elected once every six years, and the ordinary members are re-elected once every three years. All the election process is open!

Shi Zhonglong is one of the members of the council, owns multiple star domains, and is also a well-known figure in the circle of lords!

Something happened in the Northwest Territory. Dozens of lords with legitimate suffrage were killed. There is no right to vote. But there are countless small lords who have legal membership! It's impossible for such a big thing to just leave it at that! That's why he was entrusted by the elders of the council to rush back to the imperial capital from his own territory to investigate this matter!

"This matter should have been made up by some big shots, right? The goal is to us lords! Xiao Junling said.

“…… Of course, this matter must be investigated! Shi Zhonglong gritted his teeth and said,

"This is related to the vital interests of our lords, if we let it go gently, I am afraid that such things will happen again and again in the future!"

Xiao Junling frowned and said, "I don't doubt the determination of the association's top management. But once this matter is exposed, it means that the association and those big names will officially tear their faces! Are the elders ready for a showdown? ”

This is not a joke, as long as the Lords' Association has enough evidence and makes it public, it will inevitably cause a major earthquake, and I don't know how many high-ranking people will be unlucky because of it! Therefore, as long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, they will take risks and stop it at all costs!

Blatantly using secret power to attack and kill a well-known figure like Shi Zhonglong is probably only the first step, if it can't be effective. More and more outrageous tricks are sure to follow!

The bodies of the assailants, he had already examined them carefully. All of them are strong, well-equipped and well-trained! All of the light armor weapons were at least two stars or higher, and there were no markings on them that could be traced, and the craftsmanship style was unheard of, and they didn't belong to any type of equipment he had ever seen!

Moreover, the fourth planet is the seat of the central government of the empire, and almost all important departments are on this planet, and its defense is so tight that it is definitely second to none in the empire! But those guys dared to openly use high-power weapons to surround and kill here!

Sensei, the patrol spacecraft and the alien alert detachment in the relevant area have been transferred far away! Even the multi-level three-dimensional monitoring network in the air, on the ground, and in low-earth orbit must be temporarily invalid due to "technical reasons"!

I believe that the high-level leaders of the Lord's Association will not fail to understand this point.

And there is another thing that Xiao Junling didn't say, within the Lords Association, there must also be their ears and eyes, once it comes to the critical moment, these moles will definitely jump out of the bad thing!

Therefore, from his standpoint, this matter must be cautious, and if you are not sure enough, you must not act rashly! Because the enemy that the Lords' Association is about to face is likely to be part of the state apparatus!

In any case, the most important thing is to protect yourself first!

Shi Zhonglong's thick eyebrows tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "You are right, this matter is indeed extraordinary, I will discuss it with the elders!" ”

The beautiful young woman in Tsing Yi walked in and said with a smile: "Supper is ready!" Brother Xiao, let's use some with your girlfriend first! ”

She is Shi Zhonglong's wife: Xia Shuqian.

Shi Zhonglong stood up with a smile and greeted, "Brother Xiao, you have a good mouth this time!" I brought back a tortoiseshell blue rhinoceros beast from the territory for my brother, which was hunted with great difficulty, and it was a delicacy that was famous in the imperial capital! ”

"Alright! Let's talk while we eat! Xiao Junling nodded, took Yang Yueqi in his arms, and walked towards the restaurant with them.

…………

In the copper pot in front of him, the pieces of meat that exuded an attractive aromatic smell were floating in the snow-white boiling soup, Xiao Junling took a piece with the ivory chopsticks in his hand, put it in his mouth and savored it, nodded slightly, and praised:

"That's pretty good! At least it's a fierce beast above the Star Realm, right? ”

Shi Zhonglong smiled: "That's right! The strength of the adult tortoiseshell blue rhinoceros beast is not much inferior to the Silent Star God of War! They are cunning by nature, and it is not easy to hunt them! This one was still arranged for my brother to be watched by a powerful person for a long time before I got it! If you like it, I will give you dozens of kilograms of fresh meat! That's all, there's no more! ”

"Then Brother Xie Lu and Brother Xie Shi!" Xiao Junling said with satisfaction.

Shi Zhonglong saluted him and continued, "Hmm! Brother Xiao and I hit it off at first sight, this time you saved the lives of our family again, as long as you need help in the future, just ask! is not a brother, and he is a good person in the lord's association! ”

Xiao Junling's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "If I want to buy something, I should be able to find it within the association, right?" ”

"Sensitive supplies?" Shi Zhonglong's eyes flashed. I already had insight into his thoughts.

"That's right. That's it! Xiao Junling said calmly.

"It seems that Brother Xiao is not small!" Shek Chung Long Road.

"I wonder what you're going to want? It's strange, with your current status, even if the things you want are a little overdone, it shouldn't be nothing! Your teachers, they'll always figure it out for you! ”

"The production line of battleships above level five, do you see if there is a way to get it?" He said.

The smile on Shi Zhonglong's face froze: "Your guy's appetite is too scary, isn't it?" This thing doesn't even have in my brother's territory! You're ......."

"Well, since it's a bit of a hassle! Then forget it! Xiao Junling touched his nose.

"If you insist, it's not like there's no way!" Shi Zhonglong hesitated for a moment, but still said:

"I don't know anyone else. But the elders of those council groups, there are basically a few high-level warship production lines in their territory! Although the empire's ban is there, it is not without loopholes to exploit, and the specific way is to 'save and withdraw the whole thing'! ”

"You mean......" Xiao Junling vaguely guessed a few points.

"You should see that the whole set of production line equipment can't be given to you at once, the goal is too big, and it is difficult to keep it secret! But by breaking it up into many parts and buying only a few components at a time, you can circumvent this ban and your network is strong enough. It should not be difficult to let these components 'disappear' in the name of returning scrapped industrial products to the furnace! Shi Zhonglong explained with a smile.

"And other sensitive equipment, high-grade energy potions, etc., can be obtained in this way! The disadvantage is that it is more cumbersome to operate, takes a long time, and the cost of dredging each joint is too large! For ordinary lords, the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Xiao Junling understood what he meant, it is definitely not enough to have a warship production line, but also need corresponding technical personnel to ensure its normal operation, various supporting industrial facilities, the supply of raw materials, the performance test base of the battleship, the maintenance center, etc., these must be complete! If you want to really build a qualified high-level warship, there are definitely a lot of requirements in all aspects!

Therefore, unless it is a territory with more than fifty star fields, it is not cost-effective to get this kind of thing at all!

"Those top lords, of course, have the strength to do this, but there won't be too many of them! The main thing is that it's too expensive! The investment is disproportionate to the return! "Shi Chung Long Road,

"But since this incident happened in the Northwest Territory, many of the Great Lords have already had different ideas in their hearts! Since the Imperial Legion can't be relied on, we can only rely on ourselves! ”

"So, if you decide to want it, I can figure it out for you! In addition, I have a list of supplies here that you can take a look at! ”

Xiao Junling took it and glanced at it a few times, and found that there were a lot of things that looked very good, such as magnetic alloy armor used for battleships, some high-efficiency recovery potions, some special resources needed for the cultivation of the supernatural, etc., which could not even be found in the material supply catalogs of the Temple of the Silent Star and the major giants.

And the price of some things is also relatively favorable, but there is a limit on the number of purchases, and the excess part has to be increased!

"Brother Xiao, I don't understand!" Seeing his puzzled eyes, Shi Zhonglong smiled slightly,

"This is the internal material supply catalog of the Lords' Association, not a lord who has reached enough contribution, many things are not eligible to be purchased! Of course, if you like something, just say it, and come forward for your brother! ”

Due to the large number of members within the Lords' Association, almost every stronger lord has some special products to a greater or lesser extent, and some things may not even be many of the official empire! Therefore, the source of this material is not a problem.

Moreover, those lords who have been famous for many years prefer to communicate with each other rather than choose to sell everything to the imperial government, so that the price will be more fair and reasonable.

Xiao Junling already has a number in his heart, and it seems that he will have one more trading partner in the future! (To be continued......)
