Chapter 260 The Two Pillars of the Empire!

Kaman Federation. Seagate.

Phoenix is ​​inspecting the future technology factory of Seagate accompanied by the prince Constantine of Seagate.

"These robots are becoming more and more powerful. They can survive in very extreme environments and be equipped with weapons. They are fearless warriors."

"Moreover, their skin feels more and more real, just like real people. They can even form memory reflexes. When you are angry, they will be afraid. When you are happy, they will also express joy, and even be shy when you touch them."

"If your highness doesn't mind, I would like to give you one. Please give us more valuable suggestions after using it. So that we can improve it and make it better and better."

Constantine has a good impression of Princess Phoenix, so he is very attentive and thoughtful when he is in charge of the reception. When he sees Phoenix showing a little interest in something, he immediately gives it as a state gift.

Anyway, it's all taxpayers' money.

If this beautiful princess can be married to Seagate, it can be married to the powerful empire in the east. At that time, Seagate's influence in the entire world map will be enhanced again, right?

And he, King Constantine, will be the leader of the rejuvenation.

"Thank you." Fenghuang said with a smile.

At this moment, the phone on Fenghuang's wrist rang.

Fenghuang glanced at the caller ID and said, "I'll take a call."

"No problem." Constantine waved his hand and said to the factory director who was trotting over, "Take the princess to the lounge."

"Yes." The factory director nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Fenghuang came to the lounge and answered the phone number. He said to Sheng Xinhuai in the video: "Didn't I tell you that I was investigating at Seagate? Why did you call at this time?"

"Oh, I forgot." Sheng Xinhuai patted his head and said, "I only remember that you were investigating at Seagate, but I forgot that there is a time difference between the two countries. I'm about to go to bed here. Then I'll hang up first?"

"What are you hanging up? If you have something to say, hurry up." Fenghuang urged.

If she called, but she didn't mention the business and just hung up. I'm afraid that my next trip would be ruined, and I won't be able to sleep at night.

Which woman doesn't have a little curiosity? The princess is no exception.

"Hehe, I know you care about Tang Fei." Sheng Xinhuai stretched his body, his white arms exposed from the sleeves of his black silk pajamas, his posture lazy and sexy.

"Is it about Tang Fei?" Fenghuang was stunned and asked.

"Yes, have you contacted him?" Sheng Xinhuai said.

"He went to Jiutu for an inspection. I sent him a message and called him, but there was no response." Fenghuang asked worriedly: "What happened to Tang Fei?"

"He was injured." Sheng Xinhuai said.

"Injured? Is it serious?"

"Then I don't know." Sheng Xinhuai shook his head and said: "I heard that when they were picked up by Xingdie, both of them were unconscious. Shen Xinglan was taken back by the Shen family, and Tang Fei stayed directly in Bailu Academy. If the Shen family hadn't sent a medical machine to pick him up, I wouldn't know about this."

"The Shen family sent a medical machine? Didn't you go to see it?" Fenghuang said anxiously.

"Sister, that's Bailu Academy. Do you think it's the vegetable market in front of our house? Besides, I have to inform you first."

"I'll go back tonight." Fenghuang said.

"Don't be so anxious? How will you explain to the royal family when the time comes?" Sheng Xinhuai reminded.

The princess is going abroad on behalf of the royal family for inspection, which is the honor and face of the empire.

All the itineraries are designed and arranged by both parties in advance. If she ends the trip early, the royal family will certainly ask what happened.

And the country being visited will also find out the reason to see if there are any omissions in the reception process.

If it is not handled well, it may cause diplomatic accidents between countries.

The princess's trip is not an ordinary trip.

"It's okay, I'll find a way."

After hanging up the phone, Fenghuang walked out of the lounge and said to Prince Constantine: "Your Highness, I want to apologize to you. The next two days' trip may have to be cancelled."

"Cancel? We have already arranged it in advance. I also want to invite you to the Aegean Sea and Poseidon Geopark. I believe you will like it there."

"I'm really sorry, I feel a little uncomfortable." Fenghuang's face was pale, as if she had a serious illness.

"Ah? Is there anything wrong? I'll take you to the hospital. Or I'll let the best doctor in our country come to check you out."

"No need." Fenghuang refused and said: "I think it should be due to acclimatization. Just go back and rest for a few days."

"If that's the case, then okay, I'll take care of the rest." Constantine said gentlemanly: "Although we haven't separated yet, I'm already looking forward to seeing Her Royal Highness again. I hope that when Her Royal Highness is in better health, she can come to Seagate again to take a look."

"I will." Fenghuang nodded in agreement.

——

After two slaps, two clear palm prints appeared on Shen Xinglan's face, and the whole left face was purple and red.

After the fight, Shen Boyu took a clean towel to wipe his hands, looked at Shen Xinglan and asked, "Are you willing to accept these two slaps?"

"I do." Shen Xinglan knelt on the ground, his spine still straight.

He could use the yin and yang energy to resist the damage, or use the skills to erase the traces, but he didn't do that.

He knew that the second grandfather slapped him twice not to punish him, but to make him alert.

If he really wanted to punish him, the second grandfather wouldn't have to do it. He would just send you to the ghost mountain like Shen Qingping.

This is corporal punishment!

"Do you know what you are doing?" Shen Boyu pulled a chair and sat in front of Shen Xinglan, asking.

"I know." Shen Xinglan looked up and looked at Shen Boyu with a frank look.

"Why do you do this?" Shen Boyu continued to ask: "You are not a hesitant person, you can also do it at the critical moment. This is why the family values ​​you. People with soft hearts and thin skin can't be the head of the family. What? Really have a brotherly relationship with him?"

Shen Xinglan didn't answer.

"Do you know that Fen Yao is the person in your great grandfather's pocket?"

"I know." Shen Xinglan nodded in acknowledgement.

My great grandfather is the military minister of the empire, and he has countless people hidden in his pocket.

This is why the Shen family is still recommended as the first family of the empire despite trying to keep a low profile.

It is because Shen Wuxiang controls the military power of the empire.

As long as Shen Wuxiang does not step down from the position of military minister of the empire, no one dares to despise and underestimate the Shen family.

Even the royal family is the same.

Shen Boyu, who was always kind and amiable, also showed a trace of anger on his face and shouted: "He has kept it secret for so many years and never showed it to anyone easily. No matter how important the task was, he was reluctant to let him handle it. He did it to cut off the connection between the Shen family and him."

"This time, for you, he used Fen Yao. The mission was accomplished, that's all. The boy died, and you came back safely. Even if someone suspected him, there was no evidence. Who can force our Shen family to confess?"

"You helped outsiders kill him. He was a young master. Do you know how difficult it is to train a young master? You just killed him like this?"

"The arrow is on the string and must be shot." Shen Xinglan said.

Shen Boyu narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Shen Xinglan and asked: "What do you mean?"

"When I left, my second grandfather asked me to keep in touch with my family. When I walked out of the burial ground and saw Fen Yao, I knew he was sent by my great grandfather. Only the royal family and the Shen family can send a small master to ambush in the old land. "

"You know he is one of us, why do you help that kid kill him? If you just let him go a little, wouldn't that kid die?"

"Because he saved me." Shen Xinglan said: "In the burial ground, he saved my life. So, even if you want If I want to kill him, I have to wait until I repay his favor. "

"I have to kill him sooner or later, why should I repay his favor? It's a waste of time."

"That's different." Shen Xinglan said with a serious expression: "I owed him a favor, but I let him be killed in front of me. Then I will feel regretful and empty in my heart."

"The most important thing for breaking through the realm of cultivation is the heart. If the heart is not at peace and the mind is not smooth, it will hinder my improvement and lead me into the maze."

"So, I must help him, and Fenxun must be killed."

"You" Shen Boyu originally wanted to scold him, but after thinking about it, he knew that what Shen Xinglan said was true.

He was too proud, so proud that he did not allow himself to owe others anything.

He even disdained to do the kind of sneaky and stabbing people in the back.

If he did it, it would become a burden on his shoulders and a shackle in his heart.

It would ruin his cultivation.

Shen Boyu sighed and said, "Originally, this was something we had discussed before. We took this opportunity to get rid of that guy. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to touch him in the future."

Shen Xinglan looked up at Shen Boyu and said, "When the time is right, I will take action."

Shen Boyu shook his head and said, "That kid is as cunning as a loach. How can you have a chance to take action? Moreover, based on my understanding of him, even if you can kill him, I'm afraid he will almost destroy you."

"Has he ever been taken advantage of by anyone in anything since he came to Xinxing? Even those people in the palace have He was completely defeated by me."

"Maybe he is not as good as you in martial arts. But when it comes to wit and survival ability, Xinglan, you are far inferior to him."

"If we let him grow like this, it will be even more difficult to get rid of him."

Shen Xinglan said confidently: "If I kill him, I will definitely kill him."

Shen Boyu stared at Shen Xinglan's expression for a while, nodded, and said: "Well, it's over now, there is no point in saying more, you should take this time to rest your body. Don't go to Bailu Academy for the time being."

"What is Second Grandfather worried about?" Shen Xinglan asked.

"Others may not understand this matter, but how can Xuanyuan Mingjing not understand it? At his level, he is like a god, so what can he hide from?"

"Are you afraid that Master will harm me?"

"That won't happen." Shen Boyu shook his head and said, "When he recruited Tang Fei, he said that you need a catfish. He had expected the two of you to fight and kill each other."

"However, let's give everyone some time to relax. You are at ease, and he is at ease too."

"Yes." Shen Xinglan nodded in agreement.

After a pause, he asked again: "Do you think Tang Bandit understands?"

Shen Boyu pondered for a moment and said, "He may understand, but he will pretend not to understand."

"I understand." Shen Xinglan said aloud.

Shen Boyu leaned back and leaned on the Grand Master's chair in a comfortable posture. He looked at Shen Xinglan and asked, "Did Bandit Tang talk about his life story in front of you during your trip?"

"I mentioned it once." Shen Xinglan responded aloud: "He said that he and his brother lived in the old land and depended on an old man."

"Our people went to Henshan. The residents of Henshan did say that there was such an old man, but he disappeared without a trace."

"Do you doubt the identity of Bandit Tang?" Shen Xinglan asked.

He knew that the Shen family had always paid close attention to the Tang bandits.

Pay more attention to yourself than yourself.

After all, in their opinion, many things that should have belonged to them were taken away because of the arrival of the Tang bandits.

They had previously conducted a detailed investigation into the identity and background of the Tang bandits, and later even sent people to the Jiutuhen Mountain area where the Tang bandits lived to find out information.

However, no useful information was obtained.

Why did the second grandfather ask about Tang Bandit's life experience again?

"I doubt the identity of that old man." Shen Boyu said aloud.

"Who do you suspect he is?"

"I suspect that the old man who raised Tang Bandit is Lu Yu." Shen Boyu responded in a deep voice: "Lu Yu, a genius mechanic who is also known as the twin walls of the empire with Tang Li."

"Lu Yu?" Shen Xinglan looked at Shen Boyu with wide eyes. He was very aware of the weight of this name and asked aloud: "Why did the second grandfather suspect it was him? Didn't he die long ago?"

"He just disappeared suddenly. Who knows whether he is dead or alive?"

Shen Boyu's face showed a look of reminiscence, he looked at Shen Xinglan and said: "Tang Li is a spiritual genius, just like you now, and Lu Yu is the god of machinery. Anything in his hands can be transformed into new patterns. , they invented countless things, and they were the two most prominent people in the country at that time.”

"The late emperor was very fond of these two people and called them the twin walls of the empire. He said that with Lu Yu in literature and Tang Li in military affairs, the empire would have no worries. Because of Tang Li's rebellion, he was also implicated, although he was saved by the Lu family He lost his life, but lived in seclusion in Nanshan, being depressed and drinking all day long."

"Why did you disappear without a trace later?"

"Hehe, then you have to ask the person above." Shen Boyu said with a sarcastic smile on his lips: "I am jealous of his ability and want to use his talent. He has been recruited to serve the country many times, but he has not accepted the call. "

"The last one got anxious and said that if you don't answer the call again, Tang Li will be punished for being a traitor to the party, and he disappeared without a trace."

Shen Xinglan was silent for a moment and praised: "This person has quite a character."

"How much is a character worth? There are so many people with character that I don't even know how many of them have been chopped off with a knife."

"Why does Second Grandpa suspect it's him?"
