Him and their stars.

Chapter 1959 Xiao Qing and the rebel are a good match
The burning metal wreckage occupied most of the picture, melting into a curled up ugly pile of corpses on the gray background. That was the destroyed ATAT. This ace armored vehicle in the Empire's land warfare system just overturned on the ground like a hunted beast.

The twisted flames lingered on the deformed steel corpse, and the scorched air blurred the entire picture, lingering with a repressive atmosphere. Even through the screen, it seemed as if the twisted moans could still be heard.

The ion main gun that could directly bombard low-Earth orbit had already been burned so badly that its original appearance was almost unrecognizable. It looked like a piece of dead wood hanging towards the scorched earth.

Standing on the dead tree was the figure wearing a traveling cloak.

This kind of military green travel cloak is so common that explorers, mercenaries, pirates, and even lower-class citizens living in slums all use it in large quantities. Its advantage is that it is durable, wear-resistant, dirt-resistant and can be used for a long time.

However, the hood that was so thick that it seemed to be able to resist radiation had already been torn apart by the heat wave, revealing a muscular body wrapped in a power armor suit and a profile illuminated by the fire.

Because of the distance, her face was a little blurry, and the screen was filled with blurry blocks of color, which looked like low-quality images from the dial-up era. But Yu Lian could still recognize her at a glance. She was of course the long-lost Gongsun Qing.

The girl's jawbone drew a sharp arc in the smoke and dust, and her slender neck was as tight as a bowstring. Her petite body stepped on the towering "corpse" of AT, which was like a hill, like a hero from the mythical era who had just hunted a giant beast.

This was the most domineering and murderous Gongsun Qing Yu Lian had ever seen in his life.

So, Miss Gongsun Qing, who had an actor skin, has finally left the stage of history. Has she now finally been replaced with a swordsman skin and is online?
So, all the memories from another timeline that I wanted to bury deep in my heart suddenly came to my mind.

At this moment, he didn't know whether he should commemorate or pay tribute, and he really didn't know what expression to make, so he could only tactically finish drinking the Bingkuoluo.

Feifei looked at Yu Lian, who had a stern face. She was probably satisfied with his expression management, so she poured him another glass. "This happened on November 11th, at Cold Harbor in the Taylor Star Region."

Feifei opened the star map as she spoke.

Of course, Yu Lian didn’t even need to look at the star map, a traffic map had already formed in his head.

"Cold Harbor Star? It's very close to the Gate of Glory."

"The warrant also includes a war report. She was there helping a rebel group called the People's Integration Organization."

"What is the people?" Yu Lian raised his eyebrows.

"People's Integration Organization? Have you heard of it? However, from the information I saw on the intranet, this is a rebel organization that was only established half a year ago, and it has been active in the lower city of Lenggang before." Feifei said suspiciously.

"...No, I just think that this organization sounds like it's, uh, very dynamic."

Feifei glanced at her lover in confusion and continued, "She single-handedly shot down three ATATs and four armored airships in the battle, and also killed at least one company of armored grenadiers. After losing the fire support and spearhead troops, the Empire's anti-insurgency forces fell into a completely passive situation and lost at least two thousand people."

By the standards of the Rebel Army, this was of course an excellent record. Even if it was Peleliu's Invincible Formation, it could only be compared to the battle at Shengyuan two years ago, right?
In that battle, the Liberation Front fighters used AK and 107 to kill a Star Knight wearing a herald machine, and then opened up half of the Imperial Stormtrooper Division. Peleliu Rivers became famous and immediately ranked in the top 10 of the Imperial Army's wanted list.

Of course, he implicated his brother, an elite civil servant, and the Fujie Formation was surrounded by the army and had to flee from the heart of the empire to the remote star region in the outer ring. There is no need to mention these later stories.

"I didn't even know that the rebel movement was in full swing in the Taylor sector. And it's in a transportation hub like Lenggang?" Yu Lian thought this was a bit unscientific.

Helots and Symoe are remote labor star zones. The number of slaves living in various "labor camps" is almost comparable to the total population of the community. Naturally, they provide plenty of manpower and space for the rebel army.

However, the Tyre Sector is different. Although it also belongs to the "Outer Ring Star Region" bordering the vast Abyss Nebula, the Empire has been operating it as its homeland as early as 1000 years before the Common Era. Nearly half of its star systems belong to "counties" directly under the Prime Minister's Office, and the other half of the star systems belong to more than border lords, military control areas, and orbital trading cities managed by the Royal Chamber of Commerce and the Heraldry Academy.

After the fierce civil war in the empire, King Slane, one of the Electoral Imperial families, even moved his royal territory here.

Regardless of whether this is a case of losers being squeezed out of the central government, just say that this is the Dragon King guarding the country's borders.

After the opening of the "Gate of Glory", the Empire has maintained more than one imperial fleet here all year round.

Up to now, humans in this star region account for more than 5000% of the total population, including million loyal imperial citizens and sword-wielding nobles.

In short, based on the current general standards of national governance, this star region is indeed the most stable base of the Galactic Empire.

However, even within the Galactic Empire's core base, rebel forces actually appeared.

Feifei smiled and said, "Yu'er, you underestimate your and Mr. Qi's books. Books contain ideas, and ideas are indestructible."

This sounds familiar, but I always feel that it doesn't seem very auspicious.

"Of course you think that most of the rebels regard your ideas as a success, but you cannot deny that there will always be idealists who will illuminate the way forward and strengthen their faith."

At this point, she changed the subject: "Of course, Taylor is indeed the base of the empire, and the rebel organizations that operate here are also very small in scale. Objectively speaking, no matter how idealistic they are, they are just small tricks."

Yu Lian nodded. It sounds harsh, but reality is reality.

“But with the addition of Xiao Qing, they are much stronger than the little tricks, and it is indeed possible that the empire will be caught off guard and suffer a great loss.” Feifei added.

Powerful psychics can always act as deus ex machina, especially in ground-based security warfare environments.

"However, she always seems to be able to find organization in a chaotic and unfamiliar environment. Is this Xiao Qing's talent?" Feifei pondered again.

"Needless to say, this is her talent." Yu Lian said firmly.

In the previous timeline, she had come to the door herself. A young lady of the Imperial nobility wearing a heraldic ring had directly found her way to the Volunteer Army's secret office on Earth. Everyone thought that the executioners in disguise had come to the door, and they were all ready to die in battle.

However, even if he died, it would be enough if he could capture an Imperial psychic to take the blame with him.

But the facts have proved that facing a mature and powerful psychic, ordinary people cannot even die freely, let alone die together.

...The history of the previous timeline is no longer important. However, it was precisely because of this experience that Yu Lian sent her to investigate the assassination case. And she really lived up to everyone's expectations and got in touch with the "Son of Luoha". In short, the daughter of the Earl of Yongdi, the first-class knight of the Galactic Empire, Miss Gongsun Qing, seems to have a natural affinity with rebels. This is probably her character setting.

In this way, the incident that happened nearly two weeks ago ended with the crippling of a brigade of the imperial garrison. The only reward was the photograph of the culprit's profile. The imperial master could finally comfort himself that he was not defeated by the mud legs with stones and sticks, but by the strong men passing by.

Although the outcome cannot be changed, at least the commander of the counterinsurgency force will not have to bear too much pressure.

However, the quality of the on-site video is a bit blurry, and the video was occasionally taken by the drone before it was shot down, but it was immediately drowned out by the massive amount of related information.

Even with the efficiency of the Imperial Army, it took two weeks to finally confirm the identity of the person involved.

Then, the daughter of the Earl of Yongdi, after she set foot on the hot land of the empire for the first time after she became an adult, she appeared in the public eye again as a wanted criminal.

Of course, since he is a nobleman of status, the local military district must have informed the Heraldry Court and the Inquisition by now.

"Maybe the judge has already set out. I heard that there is a special department in the court to handle this kind of thing." Feifei said, "Xiao Qing should also know about this. She must have already realized it."

The memories of death in the previous timeline became clearer and clearer, and more and more painful.

Yu Lian sighed silently: "So, why is she here? She is the legitimate heir to the Earl of Yongdi! She has an official title of the empire as soon as she came of age, and she can also receive an annual pension from the Heraldry Academy."

"She has never used the money." Feifei laughed and said, "Is this the first day you met Xiaoqing? When did she ever care about the title?"

"But what can she do alone?"

Feifei said, "She is not an officer of the community and is not subject to military discipline. Of course, she can do whatever she wants. Don't forget, Yu'er, she is also a member of the Lionheart Club. Although she looks stupid, she has great ideas when it comes to critical issues. So, Yu'er, are you reacting like this now because she didn't ask you for instructions, or are you really worried about her situation?"

"Maybe both. I'm sorry to embarrass you."

Feifei laughed silently, and was very satisfied with Yu Lian's increasingly thick-skinned character.

"So, what you're saying is that we can go to Cold Harbor to pick her up?"

The goal of the Silence is to go to the planet Tiejia to rescue the comrades of the community. This place is located on the border of the Taylor Star Region and the Black Light Star Region, and the straight-line distance from here is about 800 light years.

But if Gongsun Qing is still in Lenggang, then he is near the Gate of Glory, which is not on the way.

"Xiao Qing wouldn't want to see you put personal interests above public ones. What I mean is that even without my notification, you would have known sooner or later. I was just wondering if I could take the initiative to contact her and inform her to meet us in the Tiejia star system."

Before the Silence reached the prisoner-of-war camp in the Tiega system, it might be blocked by the Sobek fleet that was chasing it, or it might be blocked by the Imperial fleet that was intercepting it head-on and had to flee. But Feifei seemed to have never considered this possibility.

"But we are now in the heart of the empire. It is foreseeable that after entering the Taylor star sector, the deep space probes we will encounter will be much more densely populated than before. Even with the current weak mass reaction of the Silence, it is inevitable that it will cause gravitational disturbances, not to mention communications." Feifei said.

Receiving a signal is one thing, actively sending a signal is another, and the security risks involved are naturally different.

When the Bazan fleet was crossing the distant coast, it was in contact with Say from time to time, but once it passed through the territory of Bakvi and entered the empire, it almost lost contact. This was one of the main reasons.

Even with the performance of the Silence, after entering the Empire, the captain ordered the entire ship to enter a mute state. The only time the cat "spoke" was when there was a communication delay penalty inside the Diamond Nebula.

"Right. That's why I said that the source wave is actually a very bad hyperspace instant communication. Its only advantage is stability, but its disadvantages are just like pimples during adolescence. If you regard this as the only hyperspace communication, your civilization of this generation is really lacking in spirit! Besides, brother Yu Lian, you just said that the pursuers are psychics, right? I explained to you that the principle of superstring vibration is a fixed-point response in dimension. Even if psychics cannot understand the scientific basis of this, they can still locate through wild intuition and instinct."

The above words were said by Xiao Hui who suddenly appeared.

Although what she said made sense, considering her half-smile, it seemed more like she was here to mock her.

Feifei said, "Please don't talk about psychics as if they were wild animals, okay?"

Yu Lian said: "Besides, I don't understand the scientific evidence you mentioned. I dare not give it to Dr. Eddington."

The battleship's chief scientific officer has had his worldview refreshed too many times recently. What's more, high-energy physics fields such as quantum and superstring are not Dr. Eddington's specialty.

Yu Lian really didn't want to add any more burden to the old man, so he just sorted it out and handed it over directly to Professor Zinov in the future.

"So, is there any hidden way to communicate?" Feifei stared at Xiaohui expectantly. "If we are discovered, you will be doomed. You don't want to be sunk by primitive weapons, right?"

"But you can see clearly. After all, I am just a selfless guiding robot." Xiao Hui smiled an inorganic smile full of divinity.

"Besides, I've already said this to my younger brother Yu Lian. Even if the ship is sunk, it's you who will die, not me."

Well, this should be Xiao Hui’s true words.

In short, after the ghost robot said this, it let out a series of barbell-like laughs, and once again sank into the railings like a female ghost, and disappeared.

Only Yu Lian and Fei Fei were left staring at each other. They all knew that this silicon-based female ghost had appeared specifically to taunt them, but they had no evidence for the moment.

They began to eat in silence, using the food to soothe their current mood.

When Yu Lian stuffed the last round brown sugar sesame peanut bun, remember, the round sugar bun, into his stomach, Feifei said, "I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing?"

"I always feel that Xiao Qing's news has disrupted your plans and ideas as a commander, which means that it has disturbed your mind. I apologize to you on her behalf. When I find her, I will personally bring her to apologize to you."

So this is what you mean?
