above the galaxy

Chapter 539: Entering the city should be ceremonial!
Snapped!
A beautiful Ru kiln cup with the aroma of tea was smashed to the ground, and the air was filled with the fragrance of tea.

What a waste of this cup of excellent Mingqian Longjing tea.

Shen Wuxiang looked at Wang Botao standing in front of him with an extremely gloomy expression.

Wang Botao led his troops to support Huangjin City. Just when he had assembled his troops and was about to set off, Huangjin City had already surrendered.

Isn't the speed of sliding down too fast?
Even the French before the Blue Star Cataclysm couldn't catch up.

Sun Shehu adjusted his glasses and asked, "Did the bandit army not attack the Golden City?"

"No." Wang Botao held his head high and chest out, his back straight.

He knew that the military minister was furious, and he didn't want to be reprimanded for his military appearance. "The bandit army stopped fifty miles away from the Golden City, and didn't even cross the first line of defense."

"Seeking fame and reputation." Sun Shehu sneered and continued to ask: "There is no resistance from the Golden City?"

“No.” Wang Botao avoided Shen Wuxiang’s gaze and said, “According to intelligence, Lu Siyu of the Lu family quietly broke through the internal encrypted network of the Golden City, allowing the former princess Zhong Yuxiuxue and the Golden City Lord Zhao Depu to communicate online.”

"Lu whispers? Where are our network information security personnel? Don't they know how to take back the initiative?"

"Yes, I have. I have never robbed anyone."

"A bunch of idiots."

"."

"Where is Yuan Minghui? He is the general defending the city and has the responsibility to defend the territory. If he wants to resist, can Zhao Depu stop him?"

"Yuan Minghui killed the military supervisor Li Qingmiao, withdrew the defense line, opened the city gates, and welcomed the bandit army into the city."

"."

silence.

Dead silence.

It would be fine if Zhao Depu voted, but since Yuan Minghui also voted, what's the point of fighting?

In order to show his loyalty, Yuan Minghui actually killed the military supervisor Li Qingmiao in public.

Oh, it's really hard work.
Are you ready to go all the way with them?

After Wang Botao finished his report, he stopped talking.

However, the solemn atmosphere in the office made his throat move and he swallowed secretly.

He was afraid that the military minister would smash the tiger-head paperweight on his head at any time.
Although he is also innocent.

After all, he had just prepared the men and had not set off yet.

Well, thinking about it this way, I feel secretly lucky.
If I support them, Zhao Depu and Yuan Minghui will surrender, or Zhao Depu and Yuan Minghui will wait for me to arrive and then close the door and beat the dog.
bah bah bah.

Catching a turtle in a jar, well, that's not a nice word either.

Then my life or death would be in danger.

"Look, they are all good servants we have raised." Shen Wuxiang laughed in anger and said harshly.

It's really absurd.

When the enemy invades, don't fire a single shot, don't shoot a single bullet, withdraw your defenses, open the city gates to welcome the arrival of the royal army?

What is this behavior?
This is treason!

Sun Shehu sighed deeply and said, "It's mainly because the military prime minister has only been in power for a short time, and the time is too short. He has been busy with military affairs in the past year and hasn't had time to replace the senior military and political officials in the major cities. That's why this happened."

"Give us another year or so to replace all those who are unqualified, ineffective, and not on the same page with us. Then all the major cities will be as solid as a rock, and there will be no more suffering like today."

"This is very distressing." Shen Wuxiang's tiger eyes were restrained and he said in a deep voice: "Golden City is like this, will other cities follow suit?"

"The Tang bandits used Princess Zhong Yuxiuxue as their lobbyist to lobby all parties. She has a special status and has a certain influence in the minds of many officials." While Sun Shehu was speaking, he was also observing the changes in Shen Wuxiang's expression.

Of course, this topic ends here. Everyone knows the real reason why Tang Fei and his men were able to easily open the Golden City.

"We only need to send elite soldiers to other big cities to supervise and support them. They want to use Golden City as a model and copy it, but that's impossible."

"This is the only way." For the first time, Shen Wuxiang felt the powerlessness of physical and mental exhaustion. He was stretched thin and had leaks everywhere.

It’s all the fault of the bandit Tang.

If I had not exchanged Bo Yu's life for his, but had killed him
Well, this kind of thing can only be thought about in your mind and cannot be spoken out loud.

Just because I hesitated a little at the beginning, some members of the Shen family gossiped about me behind my back.

It's really hateful.

They don’t even think about the fact that when the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?

Everything should be based on the overall situation.

What kind of future can you achieve if you keep focusing on the trivial things right under your nose all day long?
"That's right. In this way, the Qishan camp will be a little empty. If the enemy launches a surprise attack..."

Sun Shehu shook his head and said, "How many troops can Qin and Lu have? Although our troops are scattered, Qin Jianyi has to lead the main force to charge. How can he have spare strength to launch a sneak attack?"

"Let's find out from various sources." Shen Wuxiang nodded and said, "Wait until he enters the heartland of the empire, and then surround and attack him from all sides and capture them all in one fell swoop."

"Exactly that."

Shen Wuxiang stood up and walked to the multi-dimensional electronic sand table in the middle of the office. He looked at the terrain on the sand table and said, "Behind the Golden City is the Splendid City?"

"Yes." Sun Shehu said, "But next to Jinxiu City there are Hongyue City and Fengcheng."

Shen Wuxiang pondered for a moment, then said, "Wang Botao."

"Yes." Wang Botao answered loudly.

"I order you to bring enough troops to support the three cities. The Trinity will form a natural barrier with Jinxiu City, Hongyue City and Fengcheng. Do you have the confidence to hold it?"

"Report to the military prime minister and ensure that the mission is completed. As long as the city is alive, the people are alive. If the city is destroyed, the people will die." Wang Botao knew that he could not hesitate at this time. He looked at Shen Wuxiang with a fiery and firm gaze and issued a military order to ensure that the city was alive and the people were alive.

"Go ahead." Shen Wuxiang's expression eased slightly, and he said, "I wish you a triumphant return soon. I will celebrate for you."

"Thank you, Prime Minister."

When Wang Botao turned and left, Shen Wuxiang rubbed his cheeks irritably: "Can you hold on?"

“We also have to make some other preparations.”

"Yes." Shen Wuxiang nodded and said, "It's time to make some other preparations."
-
Golden City. City Lord's Mansion.

Zhao Depu, Yuan Minghui and other senior military and political leaders stood at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, waiting for the arrival of Tang Fei Fenghuang and others.

Bandit Tang said there was no need to make it so grand, just fire 192 cannon shots.
However, after discussing it, Zhao Depu and Yuan Minghui agreed that life should have some sense of ritual.

This is especially true for being an official.

This move was to publicize the return of the Zhong royal family and the continuation of the Zhong regime to the people of the city.
The Phoenix Empire is still the foundation of the Zhong family, not the usurper Shen family.

And their opening of the gate to welcome them was a just act to restore the empire's legitimacy and protect the country.

From a distance, someone shouted, "The Highness is coming."

"Play music!" The guard of honor in front of the door began to play various instruments and sing.

"salute!"

Yuan Minghui shouted in a muffled voice.

The first one put his fist on his chest and gave a standard Phoenix Empire military salute.

Swish!
The hundreds of guards standing behind him immediately raised their fists in unison.

Phoenix had a serious expression and returned the greeting seriously.

At this time, Phoenix was wearing the standard uniform of the Imperial Navy, with white as the base color, supplemented by golden shoulder straps and lines.

Because the military uniform was tailored to fit her body, it highlighted her slim and graceful figure.

The chest is bulging, then spreading all the way down, suddenly narrowing from the waist, and then exploding from the hips.

The girl next door has grown up, and before anyone knew it, Phoenix's body had fully grown.

She is much fuller, more mature and more feminine than when Tang Fei first met her in Henshan.

The waist-length hair has been cut off and now has become a neat and tidy short hair that reaches the ears.

It makes people feel heroic, yet also has the youthful charm unique to young women.

Girls of this age are really beautiful no matter what.

"Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Princess." Zhao Depu walked over and bowed with a smile.

Fenghuang quickly helped Zhao Depu up and said politely, "You are too polite, City Lord. You are the elder and I am the younger. I still need your care."

"The relationship between the ruler and the subject, the etiquette cannot be abolished." Zhao Depu looked smiling. Since he had already decided to surrender, he might as well do it more beautifully.

After all, Yuan Minghui killed people as a sacrifice to the gods.

This kid is usually taciturn, but he is really cruel and ruthless.

Phoenix smiled widely, but was not overly modest.

Sometimes, she also needs to put on the airs of an imperial princess.

If your kindness lacks edge, you will easily be looked down upon and bullied.

"Lord Zhao, General Minghui. Come, let me introduce you. This is Tang Fei, the son of Marshal Tang Li."

The eyes of everyone present were instantly focused on Tang Fei's face.

The Tang bandits were both famous and notorious.

From the wasteland, rising as a rising star.

He entered the Empire's First Military Academy, became a disciple of Grandmaster Xuanyuan Mingjing, and defeated Qin Jianyi among the Seven Stars and Shen Xinglan, the pride of the Shen family.
He had been making rapid progress since he entered the Blue List, and before his identity was exposed, he had already firmly occupied the second place on the Blue List.

The reason why he failed to squeeze out Shen Xinglan and become the number one on the list was mainly because Shen Xinglan's reputation was too loud. He grew up in the "doting" and "expectations" of the people of the empire.

Moreover, his family background is really good. The Shen family is the most powerful family in the empire. This also adds countless points to his reputation among female fans.

Women like good-looking men, and they like good-looking men who are also rich.

Shen Xinglan is a sure kill for them.

The bandit Tang is good-looking and has some money, but he has a poor family background and lacks foundation.

When he had enough experience, he was taken off the list again.

There is no way, even the organizers of the list don't dare to put the son of a traitor on it.

However, in the 'Fei@#Jun', a fan organization formed because of Tang Fei, Tang Fei has long been the undisputed number one in their hearts.

With such a background and such outstanding achievements, how can Shen Xinglan compare with Tang Fei?
It's funny to say that when the fan group was named, they used the words "匪@#军".

Now, the imperial government controlled by Shen Wuxiang also calls them "bandit troops".

Well, this is fate.

Not to mention Tang Li, for many years, he has been a "taboo" that people cannot touch.

He can't speak, his hands can't write, and even the omniscient and omnipresent Internet can rarely find any news about him.

Even if some were found, they were all associated with terrifying words like "ambitious", "treason", and "burning at the stake".

Now, the son of that legendary figure stood before them.

"It's true that heroes emerge young." Zhao Depu was well-informed. While sizing up Bandit Tang, he took the initiative to extend his hand to him: "Seeing General Tang, I can't help but sigh that we old guys really should retire."

"You are too kind, Lord." Bandit Tang smiled and shook hands with Zhao Depu. "Lord, you are still strong and healthy. You can still work for another ten or eight years."

"No, no. We should give up our positions earlier and let those outstanding young people take over."

"Young people also need experienced seniors like the city lord to protect them."

"Hahaha, I will do my best and live up to the general's trust." Zhao Depu let go of Tang Fei's hand with satisfaction.

After a few pleasantries, the two of them had completed a deal.

Bandit Tang promised Zhao Depu that he could serve for two more terms, which is eight or ten years. He still couldn't bear to give up the position of the lord of Golden City.

However, the Tang bandits were not stingy with their rewards.

Zhao Depu and Yuan Minghui were the first senior imperial generals to surrender to them at a high price.

Oh, and Qin Jian and Shen Qingping.
Although it was Fenghuang who came forward to negotiate, both Zhao Depu and Yuan Minghui knew that the real boss of this group was Tang Fei.

After all, even the Zhong royal family was packed up and taken away by him.
Fenghuang introduced Qin Jianyi, Xiaopang, Lu Siyu and others to Zhao Depu and Yuan Minghui. Zhao Depu also introduced several senior executives of Golden City. Then Zhao Depu invited the guests into the house to greet them.

Zhao Depu invited Fenghuang and Tang Fei to sit in the first seat, but Tang Fei refused and pushed Zhao Depu up.

Fenghuang looked at Zhao Depu and Yuan Minghui and said with a smile: "On behalf of the imperial family, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the city lord and General Minghui for abandoning the dark and joining the light and supporting the righteous army. I believe that my father did not choose the wrong person back then."

Zhao Depu and Yuan Minghui smiled grimly. They invited people in. Are they starting to knock on the head?
"The bandits are powerful, and we have our own difficulties." Zhao Depu explained helplessly.

"We have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the rebel army. As soon as Your Highness gives the order, we will be able to rush to your side and take orders immediately." Yuan Minghui clasped his fists and responded.

Phoenix smiled and nodded, saying, "That's great. No one was killed, and the city didn't collapse. What I hate most is fellow soldiers killing each other. There is no greater tragedy in the world than this."

"That's right. That's right." Zhao Depu nodded repeatedly and thought to himself, your two brothers fought each other until they were bloody and brothers were at odds with each other. Is there anything more tragic than this?

Of course, these words would never be spoken.

"The Golden City is still the vibrant Golden City, and the rebel army has not suffered any losses. This is the best of both worlds. Just for this reason, I have to commend everyone here." Phoenix began to paint a rosy picture.

These words must be said. When people come to you for refuge, you have to give them a future, right?
"This is what we should do." Zhao Depu said with a smile: "Before Your Highness came, I had already discussed with General Minghui. From now on, the Golden City is Your Highness's Golden City. Your Highness will be in charge of everything."

"If you say go east, we will go east. If you say go west, we will go west. If your highness doesn't mind my old age and frailty, give me an energy gun and I will be your bodyguard."

"If I can't kill anyone, can't I use this old body to block a bullet for His Highness?"
