Green tea A is pretending to be O routine again

Three years later, the Mecha Building of the Imperial Military Academy.

It has just entered the early spring, and the snow has not completely melted, but the branches have already bloomed with snow-white pear blossoms.

When Lu Xingze passed the classroom, the old professor of interstellar history was scolding the students who did not attend the class.

He stopped in his tracks, and just stopped outside the window without hastily disturbing him.

"Do you still know what military discipline is?" Principal Xie Zhengqing's face was livid, obviously dissatisfied with classroom discipline.I just talked about the exciting part, but I didn't expect that the audience was in chaos, and there was no atmosphere that a military school should have.

"Who is interested in listening to the class today?" A student in the audience interrupted suddenly, "Everyone is concerned about the candidate for the princess."

The one who spoke was a first-year Alpha, his whole body was full of ruffian, he hadn't listened to a few classes seriously since he entered the school, he was obviously a master who didn't take too much trouble.With this wave of rhythm, the classroom suddenly became noisy.

"I guess it's Senior Ling Zhou!"

"Your news is too late, Your Highness's attitude towards Senior Ling Zhou is not as good as that of ordinary Omega!"

"Bet two thousand coins, it's the young master Lan Nuo of Earl Anders' family! My brother is a guard of the palace, and saw with his own eyes that Earl Anders left the young master Lan Nuo with His Royal Highness after the banquet, and he didn't return all night! "

"But how did I hear that His Highness has never had a Crown Princess because he already has a sweetheart?"

"That's not right. If Your Highness really has a sweetheart, why didn't you announce it? Why didn't you let him be the princess?"

"That's right!"

Xie Zhengqing was about to sternly stop him when the bell for the end of get out of class rang untimely.

He straightened his glasses and announced with a gloomy face, "get out of class is over."

The classroom regained its vitality in a second, and after a few seconds, there was no one in the classroom.

Xie Zhengqing sighed, packed up the courseware, but suddenly noticed something, raised his head to look out of the window, and was caught off guard by those dark eyes that were as dark as night.

"Your Highness." In front of His Highness the Crown Prince, he always had a trace of awe, even more than when facing His Majesty Li Yuan.

Lu Xingze stayed away from the palace for many years, but in just one year, he won countless hearts.

Marshal Lu Huan, Lieutenant General Yan Zhaohui, Major General Si Lin, Duke Pelos... even himself.

Regardless of whether these people are willing or not, Lu Xingze has successfully used them to achieve his goals.

He put pressure on His Majesty Li Yuan, forced His Highness Li Qing and Princess Cornell into a desperate situation, and reopened the gate of the Imperial Research Institute under the surveillance and threats of the Southern Cross Star. His methods were not unconvincing.

Thinking of this, Xie Zhengqing's attitude became a little more respectful: "Your Highness told me what I said in front of Earl Anders, and I have already said it. Your Highness specially came to the military academy today. Could it be that there is still something to worry about?"

"Principal Xie, don't be nervous," Lu Xingze said flatly, "Thanks to the help of Principal Xie last time, Anders' doubts were dispelled."

"Your Highness, you are being polite. It's just..." Xie Zhengqing looked at him, hesitant to speak.

Lu Xingze was calm: "Principal Xie, is there anything else you want to say?"

"About the candidate for the Crown Princess..." Xie Zhengqing had a rare and complicated tone.

The news that the group of students revealed in class just now has already caused a stir in the empire, and he has actually heard it before.

A few days ago at the royal banquet, Earl Anders specially left his precious son Lan Nuo to stay overnight in the palace. What is surprising is that Lu Xingze, who never keeps anyone in the palace overnight, actually let Lan Nuo stay in the palace for a whole day. all night.

Rumors spread all over Emperor Star overnight, and His Majesty Li Yuan has always had this intention, and almost everyone believes that Lan Nuo's becoming the crown princess is just around the corner.

The people among them naturally included him.

As the crown prince, Lu Xingze's greatest reliance in the military is Marshal Lu Huan's Imperial Lion Army.However, not all of the military headquarters are the supporters of Marshal Lu Huan. His Majesty Li Yuan is extremely suspicious. When he was in power, he had cultivated a group of forces of his own, and the Ling family was one of them.

Over the years, His Majesty Li Yuan's health has deteriorated, and he has no time to take care of the military, and the forces headed by the Ling family have continued to grow.In order to contain them, Lu Xingze really spent a lot of thought.

And Earl Anders can be said to be a pawn that Lu Xingze placed in the military.

Anders was once one of the three great generals of the empire, almost on the same level as General Ling Sheng. He was shrewd and tactful, and his only weakness was his Omega son.

Lu Xingze turned a blind eye to the fermented rumors, just to show Anders the sincerity that this olive branch should have.In order to dispel Anders' doubts, he even secretly asked Xie Zhengqing to accompany him in acting.

Now Lu Xingze's attitude towards the marriage is so vague, if he really intends, then he has to weigh the risk of getting involved in advance.After all, if Lan Nuo really becomes the crown princess, then he and Lu Xingze are the closest relationship. It is hard to guarantee that he will not become a villain when he plays for Lu Xingze - just like the Ling family who was used by His Majesty Li Yuan and Lu Xingze at the same time. Difficult.

Lu Xingze chuckled: "Could it be that Principal Xie also began to feel that in order to take advantage of Earl Anders' influence and stabilize the military power, I simply made a fake show and set up a princess, just like..."

The voice stopped abruptly.For the subjects of the empire, that name is like a taboo and shouldn't be discussed too much.

Xie Zhengqing was shocked, and immediately understood what he was going to say.

It's like - Lu Xingze's father, His Majesty Li Yuan.

Xie Zhengqing was dumbfounded for a moment.As the headmaster of the First Military Academy, he was one of the few people who had full knowledge of what happened three years ago.

He has seen how his students have interpreted their unswerving love for an Omega in the past three years.

"You worry too much," Lu Xingze said in a cold voice, "I said before, my princess will always be him, and will only be him."

"It's true that I was overthinking," Xie Zhengqing smiled awkwardly, and changed the topic, "Why is Your Highness so free to come to the military academy today?"

"I heard that Master Xie voluntarily applied to go to the border of the empire a few days ago, in order to investigate the accident of the Storm?"

As soon as these words came out, Xie Zhengqing's spine shuddered.

Lu Xingze's intelligence was far beyond his imagination.

As Xie Yichen's father, he knew that the accident on the Storm had always been in Xie Yichen's heart.Therefore, when Xie Yichen found clues about the Tempest accident on the border of the empire and wanted to use his military position to take the initiative to go to the border of the empire, he did not stop him.

Unexpectedly, it was only three days before Lu Xingze knew about this matter.

It is reminding myself, but also threatening myself.

Xie Zhengqing came back to his senses suddenly, and said in a low voice: "...Your Highness, don't worry. I will dissuade him in time and give up this idea."

Lu Xingze said softly: "There are doubts about the damage of the Storm. Master Xie is willing to investigate and reduce the investigation burden of Xiongshi. It would be great. Why should the principal stop it?"

Xie Zhengqing hesitated: "Your Highness means..."

"If the principal has any news, just let me know in time. I don't want to use the lion and hurt our cooperation."

"Yes, I understand."

There was no warmth in Lu Xingze's smile: "I hope Principal Xie won't disappoint me."

The moment I left the teaching building, the breeze blew by, and the pear blossoms on the branches fell like fine snow.

The last time I saw Yan Heng, it was still a harsh winter, but in the blink of an eye, it was another warm spring.

Before returning to the palace, Lu Xingze went back to the dormitory on purpose.

For three whole years, as long as he returned to the military academy, he would definitely go back to the dormitory.Because that person always likes to think wildly, he developed the habit of reporting the itinerary, just to give him a sense of security.

Just like the last row of the classroom is always his seat alone, Lu Xingze's dormitory is also the only single dormitory in the whole building.

The bed opposite was empty, as if no one had ever lived there.

The sweet and slightly intoxicating pheromones have long since disappeared, but he often has the illusion that there is still a lingering smell.It wasn't until later that he realized that it was the existence of Omega carved into his bones and blood.

When temporarily marking that Omega, Omega's blood also seeped into his body, becoming an inseparable part.

Even though time has erased the traces of existence bit by bit, what that person left behind has always been carefully preserved by him as it was when he left.

Lu Xingze turned on the small lamp by the bed, then closed the door and left the dormitory.

I will leave a lamp for you before leaving, I am afraid that if you can't find me, I will be afraid.

I will report to you before going out, lest you always get jealous and get angry with me.

and also……

Lu Xingze stopped in front of the door, gave a military salute in the direction of the dormitory, and finally put his fist at the position of his heart, his movements were standard and solemn.

You will always be my pride.

In the most shining position in my life, as bright as the sun.

When we returned to the palace, the sky had already turned dark, and the thick night was like insoluble ink.

Outside the meeting hall, voices could be heard vaguely.

"Why hasn't your Highness come back yet?"

"Your Highness has important matters to deal with. Master Lan Nuo might as well go back and wait."

"No, I have to wait for His Highness to come back!"

Jiang Huai wanted to say something more, but he had already noticed Lu Xingze's return to the palace from the corner of the eye, so he stopped his voice in time and bowed his head: "Your Highness."

Omega, who was wearing a beautiful tuxedo, saluted him with an earnest attitude: "Your Highness, are you back?"

Omega is young and beautiful, raising his hand to reveal that he is noble. He is the only son of Earl Anders, Lanno, who has been frequently mentioned in royal family gossip recently.

"Well," Lu Xingze remained calm, his tone distant, "What are you doing in the meeting hall?"

"Naturally, it is to wait for His Highness." Lan Nuo blinked his eyes, revealing confidence in every word, "I hope to satisfy His Highness in everything."

"Really?" Lu Xingze didn't comment, "You really have to worry about it."

Lan Nuo smiled: "Your Highness, don't mind, this is what I should do."

Lu Xingze laughed silently: "Then, do you want to go back by yourself, or do you want me to have someone take you down?"

"Your Highness..." Lan Nuo was stunned, and suddenly looked at Lu Xingze, and for a moment felt that that faint smile made people shudder.

"Good boy." Lu Xingze said softly, his eyes were filled with bottomless darkness.

Although the tone was gentle, it made Lan Nuo feel that his life was threatened.

Is it... his illusion?

Before Lan Nuo could speak, Lu Xingze had already made a decision for him: "Then let the guards of the palace take you back."

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I..." Lan Nuo thought that he was causing trouble for Lu Xingze, and quickly explained, "I will never offend Your Highness again in the future, nor will I disturb His Highness's handling of official business."

"It's good to know." Lu Xingze said indifferently.

Thinking of what Lu Xingze said just now, Lan Nuo hastily added: "No, no one else needs to take me there, I'll just go back and wait for His Highness."

He was a dignified future princess, and was taken back by several guards, as if he had committed a crime.If someone sees it, maybe it will be spread.

Looking at Lan Nuo's leaving figure, Jiang Huai's expression gradually became complicated.

Everyone thought that Lu Xingze agreed with Lan Nuo to stay overnight in the palace because he wanted to make Lan Nuo the crown princess.The marriage between the royal family and Earl Anders will be Lu Xingze's last move to consolidate his position.

However, only he who has followed Lu Xingze since he was a child knows that since Lu Xingze let this omega stay in the palace, it is impossible for this omega to leave the palace easily.

In the past two months, rumors about the Crown Princess have been deliberately spread, and it is impossible for Lu Xingze not to know about it.Will tacitly allow the rumors to ferment, must be planning to play every occasion to the end.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been patient, and would never make an equal deal, letting someone hand him a knife for nearly half a cent.

Anders thought that having the royal family as a backer would make Lan Nuo his bargaining chip in the royal family, but he didn't know that Lan Nuo had become a hostage in Lu Xingze's hands since he stayed in the palace.

The royal power is supreme, countless people want to marry the royal family, but no one knows, it is the cruelest cage.

It was not until he entered the meeting room that Lu Xingze spoke lightly, his tone full of accusations.

"This time you came back three days later than expected. Tell me, what's going on?"

A month ago, traces of suspicious persons were found on the border planet of the empire. Jiang Huai led a team of lions to investigate under the order of Lu Xingze, and he just returned to the emperor star this afternoon.

The three-day time difference is already considered a serious intelligence error.

Jiang Huai lowered his head slightly: "We met Ye Xu in the Lanta wormhole. He used the excuse that an unknown mecha appeared in Lanta recently as an excuse to forcibly intercept all passers-including me and the lion."

"Ye Xu?" Lu Xingze raised his eyelids, the name was too familiar.

"He is a subordinate of Admiral Ling Sheng," Jiang Huai reminded, "Three years ago, when the Southern Cross broke through the defense and attacked the Emperor Star, it was the military academy that he led his troops to protect for the first time."

Lu Xingze was silent for a moment, his eyes were unfathomable: "He was the one who decided to abandon the Storm?"

"Yes, it is said that he blocked it at that time..." Jiang Huai paused, looked at Lu Xingze's face before continuing, "Master Yan supports the Storm."

Lu Xingze didn't make a sound, his eyes were icy cold.

Back then, Ye Xu decided to abandon the Storm without authorization, which was considered a tactical error by Lu Xingze. Because he protected the military academy at the first time and reported the information of the Southern Cross spy at the earliest, he was not deprived of his military rank and dismissed from the military, but was only demoted by one rank.

For such an important military fortress as Lanta Passage, at least a major-level officer should be assigned to take charge. How could Ling Sheng send him?

"I heard that he followed Admiral Ling Sheng since he was a child, and Admiral Ling Sheng attached great importance to him. Last year, he was promoted to the rank again. This year, he has plans to promote him to a major." Jiang Huai said.

Regarding this, Lu Xingze did not comment.According to the regulations of the military department, even if the rank is reduced, if you make military achievements later, you can indeed be awarded the rank again.

but……

"Admiral Ling Sheng should know that I sent your team, so he has the guts to let him stop him?"

"Ling Shengshang has been on the border of the empire for the past few months, and has no time to worry about the Lanta wormhole. It may also be Ye Xu's private decision. I suspect it has something to do with the strange signal captured by the lion on planet L-11."

"Signal?" Lu Xingze frowned slightly, "Is it the signal of the Southern Cross?"

Three years ago, the Southern Cross used the black markets of various planets as a breakthrough to invade the Emperor Star. Fortunately, the military found out in time and did not cause major damage.

And in the past three years, Xiongshi has followed the clues of the year and wiped out the remaining members of the Southern Cross in one fell swoop. Except for Shen Yu and Shen Yanqing who are still missing, that group of people has almost disappeared.

"No, it's very similar to the signal from the Star Allies. The lion suspects that it has something to do with Nost, who disappeared from the empire that year."

Lu Xingze laughed shortly: "It really is him."

This name is no stranger to the empire.Nost was originally an envoy of the Star Allies, and was sent to lurk in the Southern Cross. In the ten years Yan Zhaohui tried to infiltrate the Southern Cross, he could only get in touch with high-level officials through him. Always investigate to no avail.

"Yes," Jiang Huai paused, "Ye Xu knew from nowhere that we suspected Nost's whereabouts, and his attitude was extremely tough. After I was going to report the news to Marshal Lu, he reluctantly let him go, but on the way, he sent People follow."

Lu Xingze was thoughtful.

In the battle report left by Yan Heng back then, it was mentioned that there was a problem with the storm's energy system itself, but the wreckage of the storm brought back by the lion could not be identified in any way.

Soon after, Xiongshi called out all the monitoring of the military academy and the main city, and found that Nost had privately entered and exited the military academy's armor library.However, since Nost briefly appeared at the palace banquet, his whereabouts have been a mystery, and there is no way to find out, let alone how he left the empire.

Ye Xu is so afraid that Nost's whereabouts will be reported to Emperor Star. Could it be that there is a deeper hidden story behind the accident on the Storm?

"Look, do you want to send someone to arrest Ye Xu immediately?" Jiang Huai asked tentatively.

"No," Lu Xingze was quite calm, "Send Xiongshi to continue to monitor his movements secretly, so don't be alarmed for now."

"Yes."

"What's going on at the border?"

"The envoys of the Star Allies have been frequently traveling to and from the dark star recently. Some of the mechs intercepted by the Lion in the dark star have incompletely destroyed chips, which match 90.00% of the chips in the parasitic crystal."

"is it?"

The Star Allies are composed of many small countries outside the empire's galaxy. The planets bordering the empire are under the common jurisdiction of all countries. The empire has only half of the jurisdiction over all the planets in that star field, and it is Lano's who have been stationed on the border for many years. The army under his father Count Anders.

The existence of the parasitic crystal chip was detected in the dark star on the border, which means that the remaining party of the Southern Cross, including Shen Yu, is likely to be there, and these star allies may be the real forces behind the operation of the Southern Cross for many years.

In the past year, the empire has frequently detected suspicious movements on the border dark star, but it cannot be further traced due to lack of jurisdiction.

Although in the past three years, with the assistance of Anders, they have mastered a lot of information, but on the one hand, Anders is cautious and always has reservations about them; on the other hand, the power of these star allies is growing. Has seriously threatened the safety of the empire.

If you want to investigate further, you must have a suitable reason.

In just one second, Lu Xingze made up his mind.

"Since they spend so much time avoiding people's eyes and ears, it's time for us to give them a surprise."

Since there is never an opportunity, create an opportunity.

He never liked to sit still.
