Lei Luo didn't speak, he felt that Her Majesty was afraid that she already had something to say.

The empress said: "If an emperor has a sense of dependence on his ministers, is it a good thing or a bad thing?" She asked Relo.

Lei Luo opened his mouth and said, "It depends on the situation, it varies from person to person!" ”

The empress said: "I thought about it for a long time, only to realize that sometimes a short separation is for a longer reunion in the future, Lei Luo, I will send you down in a few months!" ”

Lei Luo felt that the Empress had a strange taste when she said this, which made him always feel that there was something in the words, but he would never die by himself or say anything that he was reluctant to leave you. In fact, he had already wanted to leave, so he said politely directly: "I am willing to listen to Your Majesty's arrangement!" ”

The empress said: "You can take a day off tomorrow, the day after tomorrow is the reward ceremony, relax yourself, but you have to return to my side in the evening!" ”

"Uh, yes!" Lei Luo opened his mouth, and finally answered. He already felt that the empress's attachment to him was no longer the slightest bit!

When Lei Luo withdrew from the Qinzheng Palace, the empress kept looking at his back, her expression was a little contradictory, but she gritted her teeth and made up her mind, but Lei Luo didn't know!

Three months later, Lei Luo was summoned to enter the Empress Claire's palace of diligence, Lei Luo opened the door and found that the Empress was the only one inside, he couldn't help but respectfully say, "Your Majesty! ”

The Empress looked up from her desk and looked at him, "There are two more people to wait, and we will have a small meeting in a while." ”

Lei Luo was stunned and said, "What is the matter with Your Majesty's summons?" ”

The empress said, "You are the commander of the guards, can't I summon you if you have nothing to do?" ”

Lei Luo immediately said: "Lei Luo doesn't dare. ”

At this time, Sophia's voice came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Lord Heidier and Lord Kuiba have arrived. ”

Empress Claire exclaimed, "Let them in!" ”

The door opened, and Hedier and the half-armored Quibal entered. Because Quibal was fused with the biological armor, he was three meters tall and looked like a giant.

The two of them entered the door and saluted the empress in unison, "See Your Majesty." ”

Empress Claire stood up from her desk and walked over to the side of the lounge and said, "Let's all come and sit down and talk!" ”

The group glanced at each other, then walked to the sofa and sat down on each side. The Empress clapped her hands and said, "Four cups of coffee!" ”

A robotic voice could be heard in the air: "Preparing." ”

After two minutes, Sophia walked in with four cups of coffee, put them in front of the crowd and walked out. The Empress picked up a cup of coffee and blew on it, saying, "I called you here today to talk about interstellar pirates. ”

Lei Luo's heart suddenly dawned, the Empress's Hope was planted in the hands of interstellar pirates, for her, pirates are equivalent to rebels, and now that the Three Kings Party has been purged, it is also her turn to exert her power.

At this time, Heidier took out a bunch of confidential documents from his briefcase and said: "It has been ascertained that the Three Kings Party has a close relationship with the Hemingway family, and there are some interstellar pirates entrenched near the territory of Grand Duke Hemingway. ”

"After all, the granddaughter of Grand Duke Hemingway is the princess of the three princes, and some relationships are normal, not to mention that their family has been stationed in the southwest border for generations, and they have a remarkable position in the empire, especially the southwest territory!" Kuiba said: "Your Majesty can supervise it, I believe they will make some achievements!" ”

"General Kuiba is too naïve." Unexpectedly, Empress Claire didn't speak, and Heidier had already replied: "It's not wrong for the Hemingway family to be stationed in the southwest border all year round, but it is precisely because they have been stationed for hundreds of years that they still make interstellar pirates cause trouble, and they can show the abnormality inside!" ”

Heidier said a little coldly and arrogantly: "A family that has been stationed in the territory of the empire for hundreds of years, there are only two possibilities for such inaction, one is deliberate, the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, they can use the empire's money to captivate their own private soldiers to become a warlord; It can also be another, that is, they have already controlled the pirates, and the existence of the pirates is like a pack of wolves, they go to rob and then pay tribute to the Grand Duke Hemingway, and the Grand Duke Hemingway can sit and collect the wealth! ”

"It's possible to say that, but they are members of the old guard side of the empire, and if we don't have solid evidence, we can't do anything, otherwise the other old guard nobles are likely to be restless." Quibal said and looked at the Empress.

The Empress looked at Heidier, her tone was not emotional, and she just asked, "Is there any evidence?" ”

"Your Majesty, although the interstellar pirates have been repeatedly banned, it is absolutely impossible to boast that they can sit on battleships, and it is impossible to have this capital without the protection of forces behind them! Moreover, after our torture, the three princes also confirmed that the person who sent the pirates was officially Archduke Hemingway, and the conditions were officially the small galaxy led by Archduke Hemingway to establish a kingdom and become independent! What Heidier said was reasonable, and that demeanor made Lei Luo think of the female spy leader in the Liberation War film.

As if she had noticed Lei Luo's expression looking at Heidier in a daze, the empress couldn't help but say, "Lei Luo, do you have any ideas?" ”

Lei Luo shook his head: "What do I think, I don't understand anything. He spoke with self-deprecation, making Heidiel's brow furrow even deeper, as if she hated him even more.

The empress smiled and said: "Others don't know, but I know that you are absolutely brave and strategic, so you don't have to be vague, we can only really solve the problem by expressing our opinions." ”

Lei Luo also smiled: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, local division has been the weakness of all dynasties, and the Hemingway family is just a representative, if I say that it is better to use emerging forces to compete with the old aristocracy." You must know that the rising stars of the empire are often very disgusted with the monopoly of the old aristocracy, so His Majesty does not have to come forward directly, as long as he supports a few new nobles to come out. ”

"The way of balance is very good, but since the Hemingway family already has the intention of proclaiming themselves kings, it is already considered a rebellion, and I must not tolerate it, and you are also right that the new and old nobles are quickly accumulating grievances, among which the new nobles are represented by your Lei family, so I decided to let you supervise it." The Empress said.

"Me?" Lei Luo was dumbfounded: "I can't do it, my qualifications are too shallow!" ”

The empress said: "Yes, your qualifications are too shallow, but I am optimistic about you, and I have decided to reorganize into an ace independent regiment, which is subordinate to my personal soldiers, and you are the head of the regiment." ”

"Huh?" Lei Luo looked at the empress: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid your subordinates are not competent!" ”

But the empress said: "What is incompetent, I sent the independent regiment to you to command, it was not a casual decision, it was decided after thinking about it for a long time. ”

Everyone looked at the empress and only heard the empress say, "I will give you an independent regiment and then go to the southwest as a minister to help me completely exterminate the interstellar pirates!" ”

"Your Majesty, there's something wrong with this!" Kuiba said: "If you send troops without authorization, this is undoubtedly putting pressure on Grand Duke Hemingway, hinting that the empire does not trust them, and I am afraid that it will force him to rebel!" ”

The empress sneered and said: "I just want to force them to rebel, recently the empire and the Arda people are looking too peaceful, I believe that there are a bunch of imperial military cadets who need military merits to go to school." Didn't you say that you need the new nobles to suppress the old nobles, Lei Luo is the representative of the new nobles, and he will also represent me to the world, my vision is definitely not wrong! ”

The empress said again: "Lei Luo, you have to take care of yourself when you go to the southwest, I give you two tasks, either you directly exterminate the southwest pirate group, or give me evidence of the collusion between Grand Duke Hemingway and the pirates, I only have one sentence: I'm sorry for the people of the empire, I will definitely not let any of them go!" ”

Lei Luo's heart was cold, the empress's temperament had really changed greatly, and she had completely become a ruthless iron-blooded empress, and she held a grudge like this, which made her feel a little frightened.

Seeing that Lei Luo didn't speak, the empress smiled again: "You don't have to worry, after you leave, I will apply for a cabinet and military department meeting, and I will officially remove Marshal Huo Hening, and General Kuiba will officially become the new marshal of the empire, and I will let him take you at that time!" ”

"Your Majesty's big move, will it make the military dissatisfied?" Lei Luo asked.

Empress Claire looked at Kuiba and said: "In terms of appearance, whether Kuiba is the first choice, but in terms of combat power, I believe that no one has any objections, General Kuiba was also a powerful figure in the army in his early years, and many of his subordinate officers still remember his kindness, besides, he is also a new nobleman, I believe that he will cooperate with you, and the Hemingway family will not dare to act rashly!" ”

Then the empress sneered and said: "In fact, whether they are against it or not, the Hemingway family should withdraw from the southwest, there is only one supreme head of this empire, and that is me, I want to be a soil emperor!" ”

The empress had already acted arbitrarily, and the other three dared to say more, but the empress herself put away her smile and said: "Heidier, your task is to send a few shadow guards to protect Lei Luo, and by the way, help him collect evidence!" ”

"Protect me?" Lei Luo was startled, and immediately shook his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm a big man who doesn't need protection!" ”

The empress frowned: "You are only a fourth-level warrior until now, you must know that although Grand Duke Hemingway is already old, how can he also be a fifth-level warrior, not to mention that it is normal for him to have hundreds of fourth-level warriors under him!" ”

"How do I feel that after I was promoted to a fourth-level warrior, I didn't have the feeling of being tall and tall before, but I felt that the fourth-level warrior was a big radish in the vegetable field, I think you can pick whatever you want!" Lei Luo couldn't help but laugh at himself and touched his nose.

"Hehe, Lei Luo don't feel inferior, it's just that you haven't entered this realm before, once you enter this realm, you will naturally see a wider world!" Kuiba comforted him and said: "Just like me, I thought I was a fifth-level armored warrior back then, but who knew that later I found out that there were many fifth-level warriors hidden in the empire, and what you saw was just some on the surface!" ”

Lei Luo said, "Then you tell me how many fifth-level warriors there are in the empire?" ”
