In a reception room in the Lu family's mansion, Xin Lin told his experience for more than a year.

Of course, these words are three points true and seven points false, he only said that he did board the cruiser of the Tyrant Tiger Mercenary Group, and was inexplicably taken to the Steelmane Empire for a turn, and then the battleship's track was leaked, and he escaped back to the Federation Star Field and crashed in the HIP31278 system, and the escape ship had an accident when it was forced to land, not only was he separated from the people of the mercenary group, but he was forced to put on the armor of the Iron and Blood Warrior to save his life.

Of course, with Shi Hongyi's identity, it is impossible to afford the armor of the iron-blooded general, let alone wear the armor out of thin air, in order not to arouse the suspicion and siege of the mercenary group, so Xin Lin did not join the other surviving mercenaries, and did not resend the distress signal until they were rescued and left.

As a result, Xin Lonely waited on that uninhabited planet for half a year before the distress signal was received by a passing spacecraft, and finally returned to the Federation luckily.

Everyone was in a mood after listening to it, especially Xin Yu and his wife, even though their son was already sitting safely in front of them, they were still nervous when they listened to Xin Yu's story.

Lu Chengyin shook his head and sighed: "Your experience is indeed thrilling enough, if someone else is trapped on an uninhabited planet, you may not be able to hold on for even a month." Whether it's subspace or Predator, without either, you may not be able to come back. ”

"yes." Xin Lin nodded in agreement with a lucky face.

In his statement, he relied on a large amount of food and water stored in the subspace to survive, and the power source of the armor of the Iron and Blood General was a palladium arc reactor, and there was no need to recharge or replace the battery, and the energy would have been exhausted long ago if it was replaced with ordinary armor.

Xin Yu and his wife didn't know that Xin Xiao was lying, and when they heard this, they were all afraid.

"What mission did the Tyrant Tiger Mercenary Group take on to dare to break into the star field of the Steelmane Empire?" Lu Chengyin asked curiously, "After the dozen or so surviving mercenaries returned to Space City, we also sent people to secretly investigate, but we didn't get any exact news." ”

"I don't know."

Xin Xiao shook his head slightly, "At that time, Zhuang Xiaolin suddenly returned to Space City and ordered the battleship to set sail, keeping everyone in the dark and forcibly taking them to the Steelmane Empire, and kept his mouth shut, and never told others the mission information. Later, before he could reach the place, he was discovered by the steel-maned orc, and fled back in embarrassment. ”

His face became serious, and he said: "However, I have been lurking on the battleship for several months, and I finally confirmed that Zhuang Xiaolin is the killer 'butcher' of the bloody handprint, and the 100 billion reward was originally taken over by him." ”

Lu Chengyin's eyes flashed, and he nodded: "After your disappearance, we sent additional personnel to Juling Space City, especially for the Violent Tiger Mercenary Group and Zhuang Xiaolin to conduct a comprehensive analysis and investigation, and it is speculated that he is very likely to be a butcher, and it is related to the 100 billion bounty, which is consistent with your exploration results." ”

"Have you found out who entrusted the bounty task?" Lu Xiaoyun on the side asked eagerly, and the others were also very concerned about this issue.

"It's a pity, no, the clue was broken when it came to Zhuang Xiaolin." Xin Lonely replied with a little depression. The mastermind behind the 100 billion reward was Luo Yanfeng, who was involved in the Luo Consortium, and he decided not to tell anyone.

The influence and influence of the Luo consortium in the federation are better than those of the Lu family, especially in terms of economic strength, which can be worth at least three or four Lu families, plus Luo Yanfeng's mother is from the Blin family, the two political and business alliances are so powerful that they may not be able to find a few opponents in the entire federation.

Xin Lin was very suspicious that if the Lu family knew that these things were related to the Luo Consortium, would they help themselves out.

Moreover, the process of finding out the Luo Consortium caused turmoil in Juling Space City, and the method of extracting other people's memories was even more terrifying, it was better to treat it as unaware and wait for the opportunity to seek revenge on Luo Yanfeng in the future.

These thoughts flashed through Xin Xiao's mind, and he continued: "I haven't seen Zhuang Xiaolin since the battleship crashed, he should be dead, otherwise I can find out who is behind it." ”

Lu Chengyin frowned slightly, and asked, "You saw him die with your own eyes?" ”

"No, what's wrong?" Xin Lin pretended to be confused.

"Not long ago, there was a sudden upheaval in Juling Space City, the rule of the city lord Gustavus was overthrown, and control changed hands overnight, it is said that there is a shadow of Zhuang Xiaolin behind him, and he is very likely to be alive." When Lu Chengyin spoke, he quietly observed Xin Xi's reaction.

Xin Lone's face was full of surprise, and he stood up and asked, "District Chief Lu, Zhuang Xiaolin is still alive?" ”

"It's just that there is this possibility, and no one really saw him appear." Lu Chengyin said softly: "This is the news sent back by Lao Wu of the Intelligence Bureau, and he can't be sure whether it's true or not." ”

"Okay." Xin sat back disappointed, as if remembering something, and said: "When I was lurking beside Zhuang Xiaolin, I found the list of killers of some of the bloody handprints, and I was going to hand it over to Minister Xiahou to catch all the killings on the list, so as not to have killers always come to trouble in the future." ”

Lu Chengyin laughed, "It seems that you haven't found nothing, this list is handed over to Minister Xiahou, which is equivalent to giving him political achievements." ”

Xin Yu and his wife were very happy when they heard the news. They have lived in the Lu family for more than a year, and they usually don't dare to go out, and they have long been tired of it.

After that, everyone chatted for a while, and when they learned that Xin Lin was already a peak high-level warrior and was about to hit the realm of a martial artist immediately, they were all stunned.

"A military general who is less than thirty years old, Xin Lone, you are going to sit on the name of the first day of the Federation!" Lu Chengyin sighed greatly, he couldn't cultivate because of his serious injuries in his early years, and when he was envious of Xin Lonely, he couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart.

Xin Yu was even more ecstatic, and shouted a few times to vent his excitement.

Xin Xiao said a few humble words, then left the reception room with his parents, and went to the room prepared for him to rest under the leadership of Lu Xiaoyun.

Lu Chengyin sat still until the three members of Xin Lone's family left, and waited silently for half a minute, when a holographic image appeared in front of him.

This is an old man with silver hair, but his face is the appearance of a middle-aged man, so that people can't tell the specific age, sitting behind a wide desk, in good spirits, not angry and arrogant, obviously a strong person who has been in the top position for a long time.

"Father." Lu Chengyin exclaimed with a relaxed expression.

The old man in front of him is Lu Xuanqing, the head of the Lu family, with his status, he naturally will not personally welcome Xin Lin back at home, and he works in the federal government as usual today, but he is very concerned about this matter in private, and listens to the conversation in the reception room through the monitoring system in the Lu family's villa.

"Well, I've heard you all talking."

Lu Xuanqing nodded in response, and said gently: "I don't know Xin Lin very well, you have a lot of contact with him, do you think his words are credible?" ”

Lu Chengyin thought for a few breaths before replying: "Most of them should be true, seven points true and three points false, but some details are a little different from what we know." A few days ago, we sent someone to secretly check the cargo spaceship that rescued him, he was indeed rescued from an uninhabited planet, judging by the warped track, no other spacecraft has entered the galaxy within half a year, and his experience of being trapped on an uninhabited planet should not be faked. ”

"The key is, what happened to the cruiser Tyrannicus!" Lu Chengyin was puzzled, and his eyes were full of curiosity.

Half a year ago, in order to find Xin Lian's whereabouts, the Lu family quietly arrested the survivors of the two mercenary groups and tortured them separately, but they did not get any useful information.

These two people didn't know anything, but in the process of torture, they found some strange things, their memories seemed to have been tampered with, there was a long blank, sometimes the words did not match the words, even they did not realize it.

This matter immediately attracted the attention of the Lu family, and they used a lot of methods and strategies, and even invited a seventh-level warlock to take action, but in the end, no results were found.

But one thing is for sure, the Tyrant Tiger Mercenary Group must have experienced something strange, and the truth behind it is full of mysteries.

Now Xin Lian's party has suddenly returned, which makes the Lu family more interested, but what Xin Lin said is no different from the two surviving mercenaries, I don't know if he deliberately concealed it, or if his memory was also tampered with and erased.

Lu Xuanqing understood what his son meant, and asked in a deep voice, "You didn't find anything abnormal in him?" ”

"My strength is limited, and I haven't seen much, but his cultivation has indeed improved a lot." Lu Chengyin said, suddenly turned his head to look at the side door on the side of the reception room, and said softly: "Mr. Yunya, what do you think of Xin Lonely?" ”

A slender man walked in slowly from the side door, he had long hair tied back at will, his face was delicate, at first glance he looked like a young man, and then he looked closely, but he couldn't determine his age, his temperament was ethereal and elegant, wearing a loose plain robe, and a metal hilt hanging from his waist, this was a laser sword!

When Lu Chengyin saw this person appear, he quickly stood up, with a look of respect on his face.

Lu Xuanqing in the video also nodded to him.

This person is the Lu family's biggest reliance in the Federation, the senior martial saint Gu Chaoyun, known as the Yunya Martial Saint, has been cultivating in the Lu family for many years, and rarely shows up, but he is a famous person in the upper echelons of the Federation, ranking seventeenth on the Federation Superman List!

Gu Chaoyun always looked light-hearted, sat down calmly, and said with a smile: "Chengyin, you have recruited an amazing guy for the Lu family." ”

Lu Chengyin shook his head again and again, and said helplessly: "It's not a solicitation, it's just good luck to take the lead and form a few friendships, I can't see through this young man." ”

"It's normal to not be able to see through."

Gu Chaoyun also had a hint of solemnity in his eyes, and sighed: "This kid's talent is even envied by me, he is already a peak high-level warrior before he is thirty years old, and he is cultivating the only four-star technique in the Federation, "Seven-Colored Stellar Flame", and his body is full of surging heat and energy, blazing like fire, far beyond ordinary warriors, and the mental power in his brain cannot be underestimated. Impacting the realm of military generals is just a formality for him, and nine out of ten are stable, which is really terrifying! ”

After a pause, he said again: "The first day of the Federation is well deserved, and in less than a hundred years, this person will become a martial saint and be on an equal footing with us." ”

Lu Chengyin was stunned for a moment, he knew that the vision of this Yunya Martial Saint had always been above the top, and few people in the entire federation could get a word of praise from him, but he didn't expect to have such a high evaluation of Xin Lone!

Lu Xuanqing also nodded in agreement, he was an intermediate martial saint, and he knew very well how terrifying Xin Lian's talent was, and asked, "Chaoyun, have you found any other problems besides talent?" ”

"No, it's just a young man with extraordinary talent."

Gu Chaoyun waved his hand freely, he had been secretly observing the reception room for a long time just now, but he found nothing.

Lu Xuanqing hesitated for a moment, but still said: "I also don't think there is a problem, but I always have an intuition that the matter of Juling Space City is related to Xin Lonely. ”

"Impossible, right?"

Lu Chengyin's face was incredulous, "There is obviously a big force behind the chaos in Juling Space City, Xin Lin was still on an uninhabited planet at that time, and he was rescued on the third day after the Space City changed hands. The distance between the two was more than one hundred and fifty light years, and it was simply too late in time, and it was impossible for him to meddle in this matter. ”

"I know it's unlikely, just a little skeptical, he showed up at such a coincidental time." Lu Xuanqing was thoughtful.

"Father, do you mean to pursue it further? Find a breakthrough from Xin Lone? Lu Chengyin said a little unbearably, he was not willing to do this, and the secret of the Tyrannical Tiger cruiser may not be a good thing, and knowing it will lead to trouble.

Gu Chaoyun also objected, "Xuanqing, such an outstanding young man, don't ruin him." ”

"I understand, don't think too much about it, I'm just casually mentioning it, and this matter will be over." Lu Xuanqing finally shook his head and abandoned this ridiculous idea.

Lu Chengyin breathed a sigh of relief, he also hoped that Xin Lin would grow up in the future to help him and increase his voice in the family and even the Federation, if Xin Lin was ruined or offended now, it would really be worth the loss.

He thought for a while and asked again: "Father, do you want to tell Xin Lin that the reward for him may be related to the Luo family?" ”

The Federal Intelligence Agency is not a vegetarian either, and after more than a year of investigation, a large number of additional agents were sent to find out the news from other killer organizations that received the bounty, and finally found a clue, and the source of the bounty funds pointed to Gustav, the city lord of Juling Space City. After Gustav's accident, a lot of news could not be hidden, and all kinds of indications indicated that Gustav was likely to be behind the Roche consortium.

The relationship between the Luo Consortium and the Juling Space City is extremely hidden, if it weren't for the suddenness of the incident, many problems would not have had time to be properly handled, and no one would have guessed that the Luo family would have controlled a place outside the law.

Of course, this is just a guess, and there is no direct evidence that the Luo family attacked Xin Lian, but this is not a court case, and there is no need for ironclad evidence at all, it is enough to guess the approximate identity of the other party.

However, before Xin Lin appeared, Gustav's rule in Space City was overturned, which dealt a major blow to the Luo Consortium and automatically canceled the bounty, which was also the reason why Lu Xuanqing was suspicious.

"No need."

Lu Xuanqing shook his head and said: "Since the bounty has been canceled and Xin Lin has come back safely, there is no need for us to make enemies with the Luo family for him, Luo Yang is not easy to mess with, and his in-laws Guangfeng Martial Saint is even more of a headache, let's take it as if we don't know." ”

"I understand, telling him would hurt him." Lu Chengyin was not surprised by his father's decision at all, in fact, he also preferred not to tell Xin Lin the truth.

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

However, the three members of the Lu family would never have imagined that the content of their conversation was heard by Xin Lian, the person concerned, without missing a word.
