The next day.

December 27th.

Isaac and Anne met with Jeffrey, and of course, the first mate who called himself Zhu Junge was also there.

Zhu Junge looks very young, about twenty-seven or eighteen, very handsome, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth all the time, and he talks freely, and he is not an easy character to deal with at first glance. With the strong spiritual power of the S-level supreme powerhouse, Anne deliberately found that there was something wrong with Zhu Junge's attitude. Several times when Geoffrey spoke, he glanced at Zhu Junge as if he was hinting at something, or asking for something.

In fact, the meeting between the two sides did not have much substance. It's nothing more than a lot of diplomatic rhetoric, such as why I'm sorry again for the brain-dead incident, I hope it won't affect everyone's relationship. There are also some deeper issues of trading.

On the surface, this meeting can be said to be very happy. But is that really the case?

December 30th.

Jeffrey suddenly told Anne that he had changed his original plan to leave that day and was ready to make a huge grain deal with the Dragon King mercenary group.

You know, there has always been an embarrassing situation in the Northwest Star Sector.

The three most important star fields in the entire star field, the Heaven Star Field, the Armies Star Field, and the Templar Star Field. The core of it is naturally the Heavenly Star Domain, and its population is also the largest, but for various reasons, the food production of the Heavenly Star is not enough for the entire Heavenly Star people. And the Captain Star, not to mention, is there to get in and out, and it is the origin of soul crystals. Even more food is not produced. So much the food produced on a big planet. It's just enough for the 200 million people in the Ten Thousand Army Star to eat. A little more, no.

In the entire Northwest Star Region, the real grain production base is the Templar Star Field. Whether it is the Templar itself, or the other food producing stars, the food produced by it is two-thirds of the 10 billion population of the entire Northwest Star Region.

But the location of the Templar is awkward, it is at the forefront of the entire Northwest Star Sector, and it is good that there is no war now, once the war starts, then the food of the Northwest Star Region will become the most scarce thing.

It is for this reason. Food is something that will never be enough for the Northwest Star Sector. As long as there is a force to sell, then the Northwest Star Region will definitely collect it. Although in fact, the Academy Association is already secretly cultivating Light Bead Rice, as long as it becomes large-scale, then even the Heavenly Star's own cultivation area is enough to support the food of everyone in the entire Northwest Star Region, but this is still a secret. Very few people know. If it weren't for Xiao Ming, Annie and the others wouldn't have known.

Guangzhu rice is now the most closely watched thing by the military and parliament. There are no sects. If the association comes up with it, then the parliament and the military will be able to figure out which party the original auctioneer of Guangzhu rice is, and at this sensitive time, more is better than less. So it's better to hide. Once the war starts, it doesn't matter if you take it out again. When the time comes, there will be excuses.

Because the light bead rice is a secret, on the surface, if the Northwest Star Region refuses to accept grain, it is definitely not normal. Anne knew that the other party was an excuse, and the three major forces were not brain-dead, how could they give a large amount of food to the Northwest Star Region at this time, but she still pretended to be very interested, and enthusiastically kept Jeffrey and the others.

On January 7, after a full seven-day New Year's Eve holiday, Yiqiē seemed to be back on track, and Jeffrey once again approached Anne to discuss the grain deal.

According to Jeffrey, the sect is willing to give 100 billion tons of finished grain to trade with the dragon king mercenary group. Such a large amount is enough for the tens of billions of people in the entire Northwest Star Region to eat for more than a year. With such a huge amount, it is naturally impossible to negotiate it in a day or two, so the entire negotiation area is expected to be no less than five days.

The first day was just a matter of negotiating a general idea.

That night.

&O beloved Anne. What do you think Jeffrey is trying to do? Is it really trying to trade so much grain with us? Although we say that we have that, we are not afraid of running out of food, but if we really have so much food, it will play a great role. And Jeffrey's words seem to imply the standard spirit martial arts. This stuff is highly classified. How did the old fellow know?" it was late at night, but Isaac was still discussing the daytime with Anne.

Anne knocked on her forehead, also puzzled: "Looking at Jeffrey's serious appearance, it doesn't look like a fake." But we should all understand. It is impossible for the sect to give us so much food. If they did, it would be tantamount to letting the Northwest Sector become independent. Only those of us who are in the field know about the existence of that thing, and even those who plant it in the field don't know what they are planting. It is even more impossible for the three major forces to know. In such a situation, if the sect does this, it is an enemy, and they will not be so stupid!"

After a pause, she stroked her smooth forehead with her fingers: "As for the standard Lingwu, this thing can't be kept secret." No matter how good the Zhuge family's secrecy is, it is impossible to have no rumors at all. However, I am sure that all that the three major forces can know is that we have the news of a low-cost Lingwu, and it is impossible to have the specific situation of the standard Lingwu, in fact, if we don't read the detailed report, that thing is put in front of us, who can believe that it is the standard Lingwu?"

Thinking of the evil taste shape of the standard Lingwu that I don't know who designed it, Isaac also laughed: "I heard that it was designed by Xiao Ming's eldest sister." Hey, that's funny. We'll have a whole bunch of skeleton legions in the future. Hahaha!"

That standard Lingwu is the shape of a skeleton, if the combat parts are not fully unfolded after dressing, it looks like a person is wearing a skeleton, and from a distance, it is definitely an army of skeletons.

After laughing, Isaac sighed again: "This is indeed a nuisance. Are you ventilating with the association?"

Anne nodded: "I told Sauna. She'll be in the dark tomorrow. We'll talk about it when the time comes. I'm a little worried about that Darkmoon right now!"

"Isaac asked, puzzled.

& Thing is equipped with an autonomous transition engine, and once it is activated, you should know what it means!" said Anne solemnly.

& It's a dragon king fortress, but there is room for a stable dìng device. No matter how big his dark moon is, can the power source be stronger than the power source of the Dragon King Fortress? Our power source is transformed by the technology that Xiao Ming has come up with. It's better than the fortress. Isaac said concernedly.

Anne gave him an angry look, "Are you stupid?" Second, don't forget about the magic light wave!"

Isaac's face changed: "You mean that they plan to use the gap in the magic light wave to pass the troops over?"

Once they do, how can we stop it?" Anne sighed: "Once the Transition Passage is opened, it is impossible for the Spatial Stabilizer to close immediately, as long as they grasp the time accurately and sacrifice the Dark Moon, then there is really a chance of success!"

Isaac stood up abruptly, took a few steps back and forth, and pondered, "You're right. This problem has to be guarded against. How about we destroy their Jump Engine?"

How can we not guard against this, besides, is there such a skilled person in our regiment? It is not difficult to destroy it alone, but it is not easy to destroy it without losing the handle!" Anne said with pity: "If Xiao Ming is here, it will be no problem, he can definitely do this, maybe he can also let us take advantage of the other party's conspiracy!"

&When the hell is that kid coming back? The magic light wave hasn't appeared in a month. Could it be that they have succeeded?" Isaac guessed.

& In the past year, the longest interval between magic light waves has been ninety-seven days, and now a month doesn't mean anything. They don't have any support there, the Colossus can't be used, not even the power armor, even if you are replaced, it is not certain whether they can hold on to it. It's ......," said Anne, bowing her head.

Isaac stepped forward and gently took her hand: "Don't worry, I believe that Xiao Ming's kid can do a good job." This kid doesn't talk much, and he's stuffy, but he has a lot of ability. And he has an ability that none of us have. He can let the people around him reach their full potential, and he can also turn those around him who were enemies into friends. I see, even if he is thrown into the pile of high-level star beasts, maybe he can still be friends with these high-level star beasts!"

Anne smiled faintly and nodded at the thought of the Doji.

"Hey, do you want to disturb your affection?" A burst of petals floated by, and Chidori appeared in front of the two of them, and said with a sly smile.

Anne didn't blush either, her face was blank: "Asked you to spy on Jeffrey, what are you running back for?"

"Hey, bring back someone you've been thinking about!" Chidori said with a wink.

Anne looked at Chidori in confusion for a moment.

&Hah, Xiao Ming is back?" Isaac reacted very quickly this time, clapping his hands and laughing.

As soon as he spoke, the door opened, and two men in black cloaks and shadows walked in. After the two entered the door, they closed the door, and then lifted their cloaks, which were Xiao Ming and the bee-eater.

&'re back?" Anne's eyes lit up with excitement and relaxation, then faded away and said calmly.

& You were watched, and I didn't touch him. Tifa went to reverse the track. Everyone else is hiding, Bo Blue Rose, I didn't go to the normal port!" Xiao Ming said something that shocked both Isaac and Annie.
