288: The days of comfort are too long(2/2)
If he hears you, he will dislike you."
Xiao Tingyun smiled cheekily: "Don't be afraid, Uncle Gui doesn't like me, but you will help me, baby."
Long Jiu: "......"
That's what you say, and it's true, but is it really okay to be so confident?
Long Jiu stared at him in disbelief for a long time. In Xiao Tingyun's frank eyes, she sneered: "Brother, I find that you are getting thicker and thicker."
Xiao Tingyun touched his face and said, "I think so too. It probably has something to do with the ability of your dragon clan that I inherited."
Long Jiu: "......"
He couldn't be more convincing or coquettish. Long Jiu rolled his eyes and simply closed his eyes, "Go to sleep. You have to go to court early tomorrow morning. I will also have special training tomorrow."
If you have that time to talk nonsense, you might as well go to sleep!
At this point, the two of them finally stopped talking. Xiao Tingyun hugged Long Jiu contentedly and closed his eyes.
After a night of silence, before dawn the next day, the two people on the bed were awakened by the sound of the performance bugle outside.
Xiao Tingyun frowned and opened his eyes. He almost didn't realize where he was for a moment. He didn't realize until Long Jiu beside him also woke up with a groan.
Xiao Tingyun rubbed his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Long Jiu, who was angry at getting out of bed. He was about to get up and lay back on his side, burying his face in Long Jiu's neck, rubbing his head and saying: "I
I forgot that there are exercises here every day before dawn, and it is still early before the court meeting."
Long Jiu didn't need to go out, so she didn't get up at all, and said with a get-up attitude: "I should set up a ban in the house, I forgot it last night."
Xiao Tingyun laughed sullenly when he heard this, "Why don't you go back to the palace with me to sleep tonight?"
Long Jiu Sheng said helplessly: "Okay, I'll go there tonight."
Listening to the soldiers doing drills outside, the two of them stayed on the bed for a long time before Xiao Tingyun took the time to get up.
Long Jiu sat up holding the quilt, still confused.
Seeing her look like this made Xiao Tingyun feel hot in his heart. He was about to leave, but he turned back, pressed his arms to Long Jiu and kissed her several times before letting go of her and saying, "I will be there today."
The court meeting arranged for the army to garrison the black holes in various galaxies. The military department gave the regulations last night. Only we and the military department know about this matter. After it was brought up at the court meeting today, I am afraid that the whole court will be shaken."
Long Jiu finally regained her energy. She looked at Xiao Tingyun and frowned: "After it is raised at the court meeting, I'm afraid it won't be long before everyone on the Imperial Star and even the entire empire will know about it, right?"
Xiao Tingyun was adjusting his sleeves. After hearing this, he smiled and said: "I had no intention of hiding it, and we can't hide this matter. We should also let the people of the empire know what kind of crisis we are living in now.
More than ten years ago, my father led troops to defeat the Abyssal Clan. Since then, the Abyssal Clan has not appeared much. More than ten years have passed, and many people have thought that they live in a peaceful and prosperous age, a life of ease.
After a long time, even the awareness of crisis is gone.”
Xiao Tingyun rubbed Long Jiu's head, stood up and continued: "It's time to make them vigilant, so as not to lose sight of the crisis and only focus on the one-third of an acre of land in front of them."
Long Jiu heard something in his words, looked at him suspiciously, and asked: "What you said sounds a bit strange, is there something else going on?"
Xiao Tingyun chuckled and said: "I can't hide it from you, but something else did happen. I only received the news after you left yesterday. Some people have had enough of living in peace, and they make private deals with foreigners without conscience.
He even dares to sell weapons prohibited by the empire to foreigners."
"What's going on?" Long Jiu became serious.
Xiao Tingyun said calmly: "Because of the incident between Red Star and Garbage Star, the empire has been cracking down on interstellar black merchants recently. During this period, it was found that many black merchants have colluded with foreign races, and some powerful families have also said no to the black merchants.
Clear relationship."
Xiao Tingyun sneered: "Those powerful and aristocratic families have really lived a comfortable life for too long. They sell whatever they can't sell, and they don't care who the Black Chamber of Commerce will sell it to in the end, as long as they pay."
Long Jiu frowned and said, "Actually, I've always been curious as to why you can't forbid private military factories. Those royal families in the past have always kept these in their own hands. If anyone dares to manufacture privately, he will be killed if caught, or the nine tribes will be punished.
That kind of thing.”
Xiao Tingyun rubbed his brows and said helplessly: "The plate is too big, separated by planets and galaxies, even if the royal family wants to control it, it can't be controlled. And now it's no better than before, now we pay attention to human rights, even the royal family can't cover the sky with one hand.
.What’s more, since thousands of years ago, private individuals have been allowed to buy and sell planets, and products developed on private planets
New energy belongs to the master of the planet. With new energy in hand, private military factories will naturally be born. In addition, the amount of weapons needed by the empire is too large, and the royal military factories alone cannot turn it around. They can only follow
Private cooperation, if private arms factories are attacked, the empire's military force will plummet."
Long Jiu was helpless after hearing this. In the past, the royal family was in charge of such a piece of land, no matter how big it was, it could not be larger than the earth. However, the current royal family was different. They were in charge of six galaxies and hundreds of planets.
Seeing that Long Jiu was frowning, Xiao Tingyun smiled and said: "But after today's meeting, those people should be more restrained. After all, there is endless money, but there is only one life.
There is an Abyss clan hanging over our heads, and no one can guarantee when they will come back. By then, there will be no benefit whatsoever, and there will only be racial distinctions. For the continuation of mankind, they know what to do."
What has never changed in humankind over thousands of years is that when it comes to the survival of the race, we must unite as one.
Long Jiu also laughed when she heard this. She also knew a lot about human nature, so she nodded and said, "That's true. Speaking of which, the reappearance of the Abyssal Tribe is not entirely a bad thing."
Xiao Tingyun smiled noncommittally and said: "I will send the advance troops over at the meeting first. We have known the location of the black holes in each galaxy a long time ago. After all the troops are stationed outside the known black holes, I will
Let people search for any missing black holes."
Long Jiu also knew that today's court meeting would definitely be very busy. She nodded and reminded: "Then you go back now. I don't know when today's court meeting will end. Remember to eat more breakfast when you go back. I
It is estimated that today’s court meeting will not end until noon.”
Xiao Tingyun leaned over and kissed her again, and then said: "Well, I'm going back first, and you can take the time to go to the cafeteria. If I don't come over at noon, it must be that the morning party has not ended yet, and I won't be able to have lunch with you at noon.
Now, I'll ask Lu Wei to ask the imperial chef to prepare lunch for you, and you can go directly there when the time comes."
"That's no need." Long Jiu shook his head and refused: "I may not have time to go there at noon, and you don't need to ask someone to prepare lunch. I will eat in the cafeteria, and I will go over in the evening to accompany you.
Let’s have dinner together.”
Xiao Tingyun did not insist and entered the teleportation array to return to the Imperial Capital Star.
