"Oh, it seems that someone is secretly helping our Highness."

The Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications immediately had Xiao Xuanxuan's figure in his mind, according to his investigation, this woman should not be just a cosmic businessman, there should be a big force behind her.

"My lord, shall we send someone to bring Captain Bill back?" The secretary asked.

The Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications shook his head when he heard this, he walked back and forth a few steps and then said to the secretary: "We will not come forward in this matter, tell our people to pay close attention to His Highness and the woman's every move, and report to me as soon as there is any new information!" ”

"Yes!"

Lanyun Star, the city in the sky, this is a city suspended in the sky, it is the imperial city of the Lanyun Empire, where the lord of the empire lives, and now, the entire sky city has become the personal domain of the Holy Queen Alote.

Vanity Palace.

A young man in a purple robe hurriedly ran in from outside, this person was named Anthony Pruss, the son of the Holy Queen Alodes and the commander of the Dragon Army, Blue Dragon, who had just graduated from the Begetan Imperial Commander's Academy this year.

In the palace, where the golden and purple curtains covered the entire hall, and there was no furniture in it, Anthony walked all the way to the innermost cloud bed, and bowed respectfully, "Sons and daughters greet the Holy Queen." ”

On the cloud bed lies a bewitching woman wearing a light veil, her long purple hair fluttering down like a waterfall, willow eyebrows, starry eyes, pink cheeks with anger, delicate and unblemished snow muscles like frost and snow, through the hazy gauze tent, the fiery curves loom, seductive, inexhaustible charm and moving.

It's hard to imagine that the woman in front of her, who is like a young woman, is actually Raymond's grandmother, the holy queen of the Lanyun Empire!

"Come here, come closer, and let me take a good look at you." The lazy voice of the Holy Queen slowly came from the gauze tent, and Anthony hurriedly took a few steps forward and sat down along the edge of the bed.

"Counting, I haven't seen my son for a few days, and I finally graduated this year, I heard that you want to experience in the army?" The Holy Queen stretched out her lotus-like arm and placed her palm on Anthony's face, gently turning his face over.

"Holy queen, Erchen really wants to go to the army for training, and share worries for the holy queen in the future."

Anthony nodded, his gaze falling through the gauze tent, and suddenly noticed that there was a clear outline under the quilt covering the legs of the Holy Queen, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes.

"What a good boy, not like your dead brother, who would make me angry."

The Holy Queen's eyes became more and more confused, and she took a light breath and continued: "Since you think of the experience in the army, I will fulfill you, and you will go to the military headquarters tomorrow to report." ”

Anthony was overjoyed when he heard this, since he came back from the Vegetan Empire, he has been staying in Sky City, although the Holy Mother is very fond of him and almost responds to his needs, but she has not let him meddle in the affairs of the Lanyun Empire, this time is a good opportunity!

"Holy Queen, please rest assured, Erchen will not let you down!"

On the side of the New Palace, a space merchant ship is docked on the sea, and loading and unloading robots are constantly moving large containers from the warehouse of the merchant ship.

"This is the receipt for the arms, you can take a look at it, and hurry up and pay my sister." Raymond handed a slip in his hand to Vinci on the side.

Wen Xi glanced at the slip, and when he saw the number on it, his heart trembled fiercely, the money allocated by the Chancellor of the Exchequer here is only one million energy coins, which is more than enough to maintain the operation of the palace in normal times, but this amount of money is not enough to pay for the goods on the bill.

"What? Is there a problem? It's just more than seven million, and in terms of the Lanyun Empire's financial resources, it shouldn't be nothing. Raymond frowned at Vincy's ugly face.

"It's-"

Wen Xi was speechless when asked, Raymond was right, the annual financial income of the Lanyun Empire is hundreds of millions, and this more than seven million is indeed a drop in the bucket, but the problem is that Raymond has not officially ascended the throne yet, and he has no financial power in his hands at all, in fact, even after he officially ascends the throne, the finances of the empire will not be Raymond's turn.

"Steward Wenxi, tell me honestly, how much money does my brother have at his disposal?"

Xiao Xuanxuan looked into Wen Xi's eyes and asked.

When Wen Xi heard this, he looked up at Xiao Xuanxuan, a trace of strangeness flashed in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up, he quickly took out a calculator from his arms and quickly pressed it a few times, and said: "After deducting the daily expenses of the palace, it can probably squeeze out about 700,000." ”

"700,000 ——!" When Raymond heard that he, the heir of the empire, could only take out 700,000, his face showed a trace of shame.

He took a deep breath and waved his hand at Wen Xi, motioning for him to stand back, his face gloomy.

"Your Highness doesn't have to worry, your subordinates have a plan to make money quickly!"

At this time, Sauron, who had been sitting next to him, stood up and said.

"Let's see." Raymond gestured.

Zoro took out the communicator and clicked on it, a light screen popped up, and the light screen showed a spaceship printed with a strange logo, for this spaceship, Raymond was no stranger, because it was this ship that attacked them when they returned, if it didn't happen to meet Xiao Xuanxuan's passing fleet, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Your Highness, I asked someone to check the information about this ship, and I have found out the nest of this group of interstellar pirates, their elite has been turned into cosmic dust together with that pirate ship, and now there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the nest, as long as we capture it, we will be able to get rich loot, maybe there will be enough funds to pay for the arms at that time."

Zoro's plan was also put forward after careful consideration, attacking interstellar pirates can not only make money, but also train troops, killing two birds with one stone.

Interstellar pirates can see them no matter which star field they are in, they are like cockroaches on the earth, and the Mota galaxy is a large galaxy, and there are naturally a lot of interstellar pirates who eat here, and they can strengthen themselves by constantly exterminating these pirates, so that they can raise an army by war, and if they work well, they will soon be able to make a secret strong army.

"This plan is good, Sister Xuanxuan, what do you think?" Raymond's eyes lit up.

"Well, you can try, but I have a better suggestion, has my brother ever thought about finding a strong foreign aid to form an alliance."

Xiao Xun'er looked at Raymond and continued: "Your current strength is still too weak, if you can get the help of a strong ally, it will be of great help to you after you ascend the throne and quickly control the Lanyun Empire." ”

Hearing this, Raymond thought about it carefully, looked at Xiao Xuanxuan and asked, "Is this foreign aid the force behind you, Sister Xuanxuan?" ”

"That's right."

"Let me think about it."

The next day, Xiao Xuanxuan left Lanyunxing and returned to Earth with the fleet.
