In the evening, in the Heqinghaiyan Palace.

Long Jiu and Xiao Tingyun were having dinner in the dining room. When she was with Xiao Tingyun, she had always been an out-of-the-box and coquettish character. It was rare that she would be as quiet as today and eat a good meal.

silence.

Xiao Tingyun knew that she was hiding something, but he did not ask immediately while eating. Instead, he waited for the two of them to finish eating before asking: "What happened during the day today? Why did you change like this?"

Quiet?"

Long Jiu held the after-dinner black tea brought by the attendant in both hands, and then told Xiao Tingyun about Duan Lishu.

While Long Jiu was talking, Xiao Tingyun listened quietly. After she finished speaking, he smiled and said: "Major General Duan is an open-minded person. He is sad now, but it won't take long.

It will take some time to recover.”

After he finished speaking, he carefully observed Long Jiu's expression, and then said, "Are you worried and don't know how to face him?"

Long Jiu nodded. She did have this concern. After all, her face was very similar to Long Jiujiu. What's more, she was still carrying the identity of Long Jiujiu. Duan Lishu loved Long Jiujiu so much. She was worried about Duan Lishu.

Lishu often looked at her face, fearing that it would offend her.

Xiao Tingyun smiled helplessly and said: "There is actually no need to worry about you. Think about the commander, doesn't he love Long Jiujiu more than Major General Duan? Long Jiujiu is the granddaughter of the commander. The commander can do it.

If I can face you with ease, Major General Duan can do the same."

"And if Major General Duan really had feelings of resistance, then why would he squat downstairs in your dormitory waiting for you to come back after learning the truth?"

Xiao Tingyun calmly comforted Long Jiu: "It will definitely be sad for a while, but as Major General Duan said, he is actually grateful to you more than anything else. Although he won't

If I treat you like Long Jiujiu again, my attitude towards you may change in the future.

But you don’t have to worry about it. The relationship between people is to get along with each other. Just look at General Duan’s attitude in the future. If he still wants to get close to you, you can get close to him. If he wants to open up the relationship, you can

Just as you have done to Major General Lin now, you will do to Major General Duan."

Long Jiu's thoughts turned slightly, and he was somewhat comforted by Xiao Tingyun.

Putting the black tea in his hand back on the table, Long Jiu let out a long breath and muttered as if complaining: "The most difficult thing to bear is the debt of gratitude. Previously, because of the identity of Long Jiujiu,

, I have accepted a lot of love from him, although I also know that it was for Longjiujiu, but in the end I also accepted it, so I always feel that I owe him."

Xiao Tingyun smiled, stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek, and said in a helpless tone: "You may seem careless and heartless, but in fact you are the most soft-hearted and caring. If others are kind to you, you can't wait to return the favor.

Ten points, I think if you didn’t have the entire dragon clan’s last shield behind you, you would have been deceived into nothing.”

Long Jiu slapped his hand away and retorted rather unconvincingly: "Nonsense! I'm not a fool. Besides, whoever dares to lie to me will probably not want to live in the wilderness anymore."

Xiao Tingyun looked at her with a smile, and did not refute her words. He just coaxed: "Yes, yes, yes, who is my baby? Among all the dragon kings in the world, who would dare to lie to you after eating a bear's heart and a leopard?"...

Long Jiu was made happy by him. He changed his silent attitude before and became more smiling and coquettish again.

At this moment, she and Xiao Tingyun were the only ones in the dining room, and all the attendants in the palace were outside. She threw herself on Xiao Tingyun with a smile, and simply sat on his lap. While acting coquettishly, she asked, "What are you doing today?"

How's it going?"

Xiao Tingyun liked to see her acting coquettishly as she pestered him. He hugged the person carefully and then smiled and said: "As expected, today's court meeting has sounded the alarm for them all. I believe there will be many tonight.

Everyone had sleepless nights."

Thinking of the expressions on some ministers' faces when they left after the meeting in the daytime, Xiao Tingyun found it interesting. Even if he didn't send people to spy secretly, he could guess that those people would start taking action as soon as they returned home.

Anyone who has private connections with black businessmen will be tempted to give birth to eight hands to cut off the previous connections.

"What about the garrison near the black hole?" Long Jiu asked again.

Xiao Tingyun smiled and said: "All Xingluo's sixteen legions have issued orders

After receiving the order, we will send troops back the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Long Jiu was surprised, "Did the Long Family Army receive the order?"

"Of course I received it." Xiao Tingyun nodded and said: "The Sixth Galaxy mainly relies on the Long Family Army. At the same time, I also said hello to Wei Chuyang. Now the Twin Stars Defense Army has officially changed its name back to the former Xingce

Army, but the number of Xingce Army is too small, so it cannot form a legion, but they can help the Long Family Army to garrison together."

Originally, after Xiao Tingyun succeeded to the throne, he planned to recall all the Xingce Army from Tianshuang Star to the Imperial Capital Star, but Wei Chuyang rejected his proposal.

Although the Xingce Army was pushed out to Tianshuangxing back then, after all, they had stayed in Tianshuangxing for more than ten years. The soldiers of the Xingce Army had long been accustomed to staying there, and they are no longer the poor little people they used to be.

, now they are all well taken care of by Xiao Tingyun. Although they are far away in the sixth galaxy, the current Xingce Army really gets what they want.

Wei Chuyang didn't want to give up such a good territory as Tianshuang Star, so he simply stayed on Tianshuang Star with Xingce Army. In Wei Chuyang's original words, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Isn't it more comfortable than being on the Imperial Capital Star?

They are the emperor's personal soldiers now, and their treatment is definitely much better than others. When they return to the Imperial Capital Planet, they have to be watched all the time. Once they find out that there is something extra in their army, there is no guarantee that they will not be jealous.

And make a fuss.

But hiding on the Tianshuang Star, even if Xiao Tingyun secretly paid for them and armed them to the teeth, others wouldn't be able to see them. Isn't it good for them to keep silent and make a fortune?

Xiao Tingyun agreed after listening to Wei Chuyang's words, and quietly moved his private treasury to add another generous military expenditure to the Xingce Army.

Nowadays, the Xingce Army is rich. It has not only replaced its shotguns with cannons, but has also begun to recruit troops from abroad.

While the Xingce Army was busy on Tianshuang Star, Wei Chuyang, the commander of the Xingce Army, still had time to shamelessly pester His Majesty the Emperor.

Wei Chuyang was covetous of His Majesty the Emperor's new mecha. Since he was now the emperor's biological son, he shamelessly decided to modify his own mecha.

Xiao Tingyun was pestered by Wei Chuyang for more than half a month, and finally compromised and agreed. As soon as he nodded in agreement, Wei Chuyang immediately skipped work, and Le Diantian personally sent his mecha to Shen Qiao's research institute...

It is said that until now, Wei Chuyang still depends on Shen Qiao for his help.

As soon as Xiao Tingyun mentioned Xingce Army, he immediately thought of Wei Chuyang, who was soaring outside. The smile on his face instantly faded a bit.

Long Jiu noticed it keenly and immediately asked: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Tingyun said with a headache: "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of Wei Chuyang."

Long Jiu hadn't seen Wei Chuyang for a long time and asked curiously: "What's wrong with him?"

Xiao Tingyun immediately told all the things Wei Chuyang had done some time ago, much to the amusement of Long Jiu.

Long Jiu couldn't stop laughing and said: "As the commander of the Xingce Army, it is a bit too much to miss work for so long and not return to Tianshuangxing. However, it is understandable that he wants to upgrade his mecha."

Xiao Tingyun looked at her with a faint look, seeming a little aggrieved, probably because he didn't expect that Long Jiu would not help him but instead speak for Wei Chuyang.

Long Jiu almost laughed at his aggrieved look. She quickly suppressed her laughter and leaned over to take a sip, "Actually, I had an idea since I received my exclusive mecha."

Xiao Tingyun raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

Long Jiu said seriously: "Have you ever thought about upgrading all the mechas of the generals? It doesn't mean upgrading everyone, but upgrading 3s-level mechas. Generals who can control 3s-level mechas are already

They are the empire's top combat power. If all their mechas are upgraded, they will be even more brave on the battlefield in the future."

Xiao Tingyun really thought about it, but although there are not many generals who have reached 3S level physical and mental strength, the statistics are not few. Shen Qiao's research institute alone wants to upgrade all the generals' mechas.

, that is a big project, even if they work day and night, the transformation will not be completed in less than ten years.

"I thought about it, but it took too long." Xiao Tingyun said truthfully:

"Furthermore, there are too few special materials needed to transform mechas. My people have gone to many planets privately. Whether they are energy stars that have been developed or energy stars that have not been developed, they have collected everything they can.

But it’s still not enough.”

The problem of taking too long can actually be solved, but if there are not enough special materials, there is really no other way. After all, a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice.

Seeing Long Jiu frowning because of the rare occasion, Xiao Tingyun asked strangely: "Why did you think of this?"

Long Jiu said helplessly: "What else can I do? Of course it's because of the Abyss clan. I think there will definitely be a battle with the Abyss clan. If the generals' mechas are modified and upgraded, when they face the Abyss clan in the future,

, and it can also increase their combat power a lot.”

It has to be said that Long Jiu and Xiao Tingyun really had the same idea. Xiao Tingyun originally wanted to upgrade the generals' mechas because he knew that they would definitely have a battle with the Abyss Clan.

Xiao Tingyun said helplessly: "Shen Qiao is actually willing to hand over the technology for transforming and upgrading mechas to the empire. Once this technology is handed over to the research institute established by the empire and completed together, the time for upgrading and transforming mechas will be enough."

Shorten. But the problem of lack of special materials is the key. The special materials we have now, according to Shen Qiao's estimation, can only barely complete the transformation of ten mechas."...

Only ten mechas can be modified, and there are really too few special materials. Xiao Tingyun spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to collect them.

Xiao Tingyun sighed: "According to the statistics of the military department, there are more than 2,000 generals who have reached level 3s in the entire army. The special materials for ten mechas are not suitable for anyone."

Long Jiu probed: "What about giving it to the commander of each legion first?"

Xiao Tingyun smiled bitterly: "That's not enough. Apart from the commander-in-chief and Wei Chuyang, there are only fifteen army commanders."

Long Jiu: "......"

Fifteen legion commanders are not suitable for anyone. If these legion commanders are at odds because of this, it will be even worse.

Long Jiu couldn't help but sigh. While sighing, she touched Xiao Tingyun's head and said comfortingly: "Then we'd better send more people to collect materials. At least we can collect special materials for fifteen mechas."

OK."

It would be good to at least modify and upgrade the mechas of each legion commander.

When she sighed, Xiao Tingyun also sighed.

Both of them were worried about this.

It’s not that the Xingluo Empire doesn’t have money, and His Majesty the Emperor Xiao Tingyun doesn’t have money either. But no matter how rich you are but can’t buy special materials, that’s fine.

The worried Emperor sighed again and said helplessly: "I'll send more people to look for it. I can't go all over the Xingluo Galaxy to collect the materials for fifteen mechas."

But as soon as Xiao Tingyun finished speaking, Long Jiu let out a loud cry.
