173. Feast

After that argument, Li Zi took the initiative to apologize to Shuna and resumed contact, and they often used private channels to meet each other. After listening to Shuna's advice, Li Zi reaped immediate results, and she thoughtfully enumerated the various changes in the pastoral song to Shuna: "He took the initiative to say good night to me, and he would reply to my text messages in seconds, and even if there was a quarrel, he would coax me first before reasoning." I feel much better than before. ”

After saying that, Li Zi carefully observed Hana's expression. Instead of showing jealousy or surprise, Juna slowly blew the coffee foam open and took a sip. This made Li Zi feel relieved.

"I told you a long time ago, men, you always know to cherish when you lose, and you always remember the preciousness of feelings when you are disappointed in life. If you copy Lingtang's practice of supporting Zheng Xuan and secretly bribe the examiners, Madrigal will become more and more arrogant, which will not be conducive to his long-term development. So you have to stand by and watch, so that the malice from the world will remind him of the value of kindness, and he will be more gentle with those in front of him. Hana explained.

"I thought he was going to fight the hermit for three hundred rounds. Li Zi was still a little scared. She had always been worried about the madrigal's fight with the monastic and the examination hall to the end.

"Impossible. A pointless fight, the Pastoral Society has no interest. "On the one hand, the Sacred Mountain Hermit has never vomited bones when he eats people. The cold door is originally the outcast and food of history, and no matter how hard the pastoral song tries, it is just a cold door. On the other hand, the thing that Madrigal fears the most is that it will not be able to realize its own value. As soon as the two are combined, the result is obvious - taking the plan you designed is his only choice, and it is also the choice he makes. ”

"You still know madrigal. Li Zi stirred the coffee and sighed worriedly. As the external crisis from the Loyalty Assessment Department was lifted, more troubles poured into the water like bubbles. On the contrary, she felt that the pastoral song was getting farther and farther away from her, which made people feel like they were on pins and needles.

Hearing Li Zi's praise with a sigh, Hana fixed her smile and tried to swallow the words back from her mouth. But he didn't choose to get back together. She looked at the coffee and wondered, was she venting her grievances by helping Li Zi give this "fierce medicine" to Muge?

"I forgive Lai Zi for being honest and reliable," Juna thought as she pinched her coffee, "it's like locking her jewels in a safe and she'll get them back and wear them one day." ”

The coffee foam changes into many shapes, and Bisanna's mind is even more chaotic. Drink the coffee little by little, the strong aroma lingers, and the bitter taste hangs in the throat. Once you remember the bitter taste that you can't let go, it's not just coffee.

Li Zi appeared restless, and when she hurried away, she didn't finish her coffee.

Zheng Xuan's rear command base is built in the orbit of a large gaseous planet inside the M31 galaxy, 9.8 billion kilometers away from Proxima Centauri, and is a circular space dock, reflected in the glow of a blue star, like a beautiful sapphire ring suspended in the universe. Chip-shaped space farms and small ship repair points are dotted around the perimeter.

After 9 hours of successful retreat, the Tianshu Legion broke away from the light-speed cruising state, and used the light dust engine to continuously slow down, slowly approaching the command base.

The scarred Tianshu received a call from the command base when it slowed down, and Zheng Xuan, the god of war, led all the actual leaders above the flag officer to welcome the return of the chief of staff, and asked the Tianshu to enter the flagship docking dock to dock.

The image of Zheng Xuan leading all the substantive leaders to salute the chief of staff was defined as a "milestone victory" and was authorized to be broadcast live simultaneously in the Pantheon. The media was boiling, and such headlines as "the biggest victory since the fall of the Apollo fleet" and "A new sun is rising" scrambled to appear on the front page.

Zheng Xuan's popularity and approval ratings were able to skyrocket thanks to a leak. Due to improper document management, a non-public record belonging to Proxima Centauri was obtained by the media, and an explosive news item entitled "Cosmic Insecticide? Zheng Xuan's Fleet Rides a Thousand Horses" was published on the front page of The Sun. What shocked the public was not only the vast sea formed by the alien insect swarm covering the surface of the entire planet, but also the glow of the fireflies that the Pantheon Army shone in a desperate situation.

Although the ultimate goal was to retreat, the battle was recognized as a triumph.

The media chased the leak like bloodthirsty ants, scrambling to reprint the headline, digging into the story behind it, and starting an overwhelming carnival of public opinion.

"Spirit Beach" uploaded a picture of the suspected leader of the camp, the number of visits peaked overnight, the subscription rate and payment rate rose exponentially, and the director of the marketing department was admitted to the hospital for pneumothorax because of laughter.

"The Sun" made another heavy blow, posted a concept map of the black hole eruption, once again detonated public attention, and at the same time put forward the proposition "500 warriors witnessed a full-scale war between the universes", and strongly called on the Andromeda galaxy to face up to the hostility from another universe with a high sense of crisis, which immediately made Vice President Jiang Li, who is in charge of strategic security and intelligence, step on the cusp of the storm, gain a large number of votes, and earn a lot of money.

When the major media ushered in a bumper harvest, "The Exquisite Ritual of Dining" took a unique approach, tracing back to the source, and fully bombarded the problem of lax management of Zheng Xuan's fleet, claiming that "confidential documents are like giving them away", and even meanly compared that "Zheng Xuan's fleet's confidentiality system is full of loopholes like a woven bag", "It is urgent to rectify management and assessment and accountability", I thought it would bring a fierce assessment and inspection team to Zheng Xuan's fleet, but after the manuscript was published, not only did no one care, but the number of subscriptions also fell by 10% The marketing editor who proposed to bombard Zheng Xuan has begun to pack his personal belongings in the office, and this hoarse cry has been drowned in an endless bubble of topics.

And the leaked official records have also aroused the public's strong interest in the remaining troops who have hardly shaken the enemy a thousand times. A studio enlarged the official leaked pictures infinitely, analyzed them a hundred times, and finally reluctantly restored a vague human figure, only to see his left arm bitten by a giant jaw, his right hand crossed the knife but the enemy, his head raised and roared, and an obelisk flag symbolizing honor fluttered in the picture. The only picture of the commander was widely circulated, and the man of the mystery suddenly became the object of much speculation. There are countless hypotheses about his identity, age, resume, marital status, and financial situation, and suddenly the gossip is overwhelming, and all kinds of speculations are varied.
