A month later, Li Tomb returned to the Sujin Republic, refused the invitation of the nobles on the same road, and after briefly dealing with some things in the Sujin Republic, Li Tomb got on the spaceship to the Mueller Federation in a low-key manner.

On this day, it has been nearly eight months since Lee's tomb left the Muller Federation.

Without the Muller Federation where Li Tomb sits, the situation seems to be stable during this time, but in fact, there is an undercurrent surging, and the negotiations with the Double Eagle Empire have been carried out for the third time, and there is still no consensus on some terms.

For this reason, there have been many frictions on the border between the Muller Federation and the Double Eagle Empire in the past few months, and the situation between the Federation and the Empire has suddenly become tense, and the people of both countries are worried about it.

But for the nobles of the two countries, everything was under control, and it was impossible for a war to break out, because neither of them could afford to lose after the outbreak of war, but the necessary demonstration of force was necessary.

What cannot be negotiated at the negotiating table can only resort to force, not to mention just some border friction, but even so, the United Council has lowered the security credit standards of the Mueller Federation and the Twin Eagle Empire by two levels in three months.

This has led to some panic in both countries, and many wealthy people have begun to choose to leave these two gunpowder-filled countries temporarily.

It was under such circumstances that Li Tomb returned to the Muller Federation, and among the people who came to pick him up, in addition to Hathaway, the secretary, and Ram, the commander of the First Fleet, Sam also came, as well as Mu Chenggong and others' subordinate councilors.

"Your Excellency, you're finally back."

Ram was the first to greet him. After receiving the salute from the tomb of Li, he was a little excited.

Li Tomb patted him on the shoulder and glanced at the person who came to pick him up. Nodding slightly, "It's hard work, I'll talk about it when I go back." ”

"Namu succeeded the people they sent......"

Ram asked in a low voice.

"Leave them alone."

Li Tomb spoke indifferently, got into the car, and a convoy drove out of the airport, heading towards Li Tomb's mansion on the capital star.

Hathaway sat in another car, with a lot of reports at hand. Looking at Li Tomb in the car in front of him, he bit his lip lightly, and was a little worried in his heart.

The convoy drove directly into the mansion of the tomb of Li. Hathaway got out of the car and wanted to follow up, but was stopped by Ram, "Your Excellency needs to rest." You go and inform the others. Let them disperse. ”

Hathaway was silent for a moment, nodded, and began to inform the others, and the councillors who came with him, thinking that they could be received by Li Tomb, were suddenly a little dissatisfied.

"Get out of here, and if you talk crookedly, believe it or not, I'll kill you!"

Ram stood guard at the door and saw that many of the councillors were still staying. Immediately furious, he took out his gun viciously. A shot at the sky is a shot.

The faces of the councilors sent by Mu Chenggong suddenly changed slightly, they glanced at Ram coldly, turned around and left. Hathaway's face changed slightly, and she said angrily, "What are you doing. These are all councillors......"

"Soon, it won't be."

Ram sneered, and when he saw Sam, his brow furrowed, "What are you still doing here?" Don't you understand? The king needs to rest and not see anyone, not you. ”

Sam didn't speak, just frowned, thoughtfully, but Hathaway couldn't help it, "Ram, don't go too far. He's been gone for eight months, he doesn't care about anything, and now he's back, there's a bunch of things waiting for him to deal with, and he doesn't even see us?! ”

"Everything needs to be handled by the king, so what do you need to do?"

Ram said disdainfully, and closed the door directly, "Go slowly, don't send it." ”

"You ......"

Hathaway was about to argue, but was stopped by Sam, "Hathaway, let's go." ”

"Sam."

Hathaway was a little dissatisfied, Sam shook his head and glanced at the mansion with the door closed, "Let's go." I have a bad premonition, the mountain rain is coming, and he seems to be about to tear his face. ”

Hathaway was shocked, nodded silently, followed Sam into the car, and slowly left the mansion of Lee's tomb.

"It's all gone."

Li Tomb sat on the sofa in the living room, heard Ram's footsteps, and spoke.

"It's all gone. King, do you want to rest now, or ......?"

Ram asked with a respectful nod.

"No need to rest. Reach out to everyone, and I'd like to know what's going on. ”

Li Tomb shook his head, sat up straight, Ram nodded, and began to operate, and soon, the lights in the living room dimmed, and projections appeared in front of Li Tomb one by one, in addition to the red mutant parrot, there were many familiar faces, such as Tian Wei, such as Ouyang, such as Qingnu, such as professor......

……

On the other side, the secret office of the Federal Chairman Patton, Sam, Hathaway, and many important members of the Federation who are loyal to the Federation and trust Patton.

"Is there a result?"

Barton asked, worried.

"There's no definitive answer yet, and everything looks normal. He was away for eight months, during which time the First Fleet was completely refurbished and eliminated most of its warships...... Then, although there is an unknown flow of funds on the Crescent Group's side, we check and post the accounts, and they are all high-end materials required by some laboratories, and there is nothing suspicious. ”

In addition, his direct subordinates are also very quiet, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. Perhaps, we are really too unfounded. ”

From the information compiled from various aspects, there is really no problem with it.

"I'm still worried. He doesn't look like the kind of person who will compromise everything, and the more he forbears, the more worried I am, worried that he will play a big game of chess, and once he loses the general, maybe the whole federation will be involved in it. ”

Barton looked solemn and said, "Check again." Be careful and don't miss any details. By the way, Sam, didn't you pick him up today? How does it feel? ”

"It's not good."

Sam shook his head, "He's so cold about everything that he doesn't understand what he wants." By the way, is there anything strange about his trip to the Sujin Republic? ”

"I don't know, over there, we don't have the power, maybe Mu Chenggong will know a little bit about the situation, but I don't think they have the meaning to tell us......"

Barton smiled wryly. "You know what? I have a feeling every day that we're luring the wolf into the house. But alas, those nobles thought that wolves had become sheep. ”

"A wolf is always a wolf. Those who eat meat will not become vegetarians. He is now a vegetarian, which only means that he wants to eat more meat. ”

"Wait a minute, what happened to those scrapped warships that the First Fleet refurbished?"

Hathaway suddenly spoke, "The information I saw here said that it was handed over to the logistics department for processing. ”

"Uh...... This needs to be checked, the logistics department is Mu Chenggong's territory. It may take time to get the information. ”

"What's wrong. Hathaway, do you have anything in mind? ”

Barton asked.

"Nope. I just think it's a little weird. By the way, I secretly downloaded the logbook of the First Fleet last time, did you see anything? ”

"There's nothing strange about it, it's just routine patrols. Exercise. There is also the ...... to explore the new river system."

"Stop!"

Hathaway and Sam shouted in unison.

Patton was a little curious, "What's wrong, is there a problem?" ”

"Exploring new river systems, patrolling, maneuvering...... I seem to understand something, give me information. ”

Sam's face changed dramatically, and he quickly rummaged through the information.

"It's all normal data, we've seen it. Nothing out of the ordinary. ”

Sam didn't speak, and Hathaway's expression was solemn. But it is true that everything is normal, and there is nothing to feel strange.

"There must be a problem, but I don't know, everything is so normal, what the hell is he trying to do! Barton, maybe we can consider talking to Mu Chenggong and them. ”

Sam had a keen sense of smell, and although he couldn't see anything unusual, his intuition made him feel a great danger.

"Nope."

Patton shook his head, "We can't do this without evidence." He is a nobleman after all, and so are Mu Chenggong. ”

Everyone was silent for a moment, this is the sorrow of ordinary people, in the eyes of the aristocracy, how can the interests of the country be compared to the interests of the nobles themselves.

Even if they took the initiative to contact Mu Chenggong and them, Mu Chenggong would definitely turn around and betray them. Mu Chenggong and they are enjoying the current situation very much, and they are definitely not willing to make Li Tomb mad about this.

"So we can't do anything?"

Hathaway said with some frustration.

"Wait, wait for his horse's feet to be revealed, for his conspiracy to be exposed...... I'm just worried that at that time, everything will be late......"

……

On the second day after returning to the Muller Federation, Li did not see anyone, even if Barton himself came to the door, he did not see him, but got on a spaceship and went to the laboratory, a laboratory built on the Neutron Battle Star.

"The King."

The red mutant parrot is already waiting with people. Li got off the spaceship, looked indifferent, glanced at Hathaway, who came with him, and then stepped out, "How is the situation in the laboratory now?" ”

"You're under control."

The red mutant parrot laughed.

Li Tomb nodded, "Then let's start and clean it up." ”

"Understood."

The red mutant parrot nodded, Hathaway's lips moved, and she wanted to speak, but before she could say it, her face suddenly changed, and she turned her head to see groups of soldiers rushing out of the battleship behind her.

"What are you going to do!"

Hathaway finally couldn't help but ask.

"Just keep it clean."

The red mutant parrot said lightly, "The king wasn't there before, and it was a little dirty, but now that the king is back, it naturally has to be cleaned up." ”

Hathaway's heart tightened, and her face instantly turned pale, "You have to do something to other nobles." ”

Li Tomb glanced at her lightly, "This is my place, and their hands are too long." ”

Hathaway was speechless for a moment, yes, this is Li Tomb's neutron battle star, he opened it up, set up a laboratory, and let other nobles also participate in research, but it doesn't mean that Li Tomb will tolerate their ambition to try to get their hands on the neutron battle star.

But why is it such a matter of course, but no one has been able to understand it before? (To be continued......)
