steel horn

The skynet of the empire is somewhat similar to the empire. It is also divided into three main cities, and the scenery in the virtual city is exceptionally beautiful, fully satisfying the consistent aesthetics of the empire, gorgeous and calm, grand and deep.

The visual range is filled with glazed spires and domes under the blue sky, tall and majestic buildings abound, and brilliant and delicate golden irises grow everywhere.

But obviously these were not enough for Shao Jun who had been in the soul body state for a long time.

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is not as good as the real touch.He longs for the plants in the garden, such as sage, ivy, clover, even mint, and the scent of all kinds of flowers mixed together, and he likes the cool feeling of the wind blowing over his skin, even if it is fighting with the guards That kind of fist-to-flesh pain is also a real physical experience.

He was a little frustrated and stood at the landing point of the beautiful starry main city doing nothing for a while, knowing that Estin and Rodan were going to receive new vaccines, and Feng Shao seemed to be busy with something on the side of the empire. He looked around, He actually saw a familiar club, the Peak Virtual Fighting Club.

Bored, he went in, simply registered as a member, and specially challenged those with high online points, and hit them all the way to vent his anger. He quickly defeated many senior members with high points in a short period of time, and once again created an excellent All fighters in the club began to pay attention to this dark horse that suddenly appeared, and watched his battle with relish.

Tu Hao just entered the club, and he heard the discussion among the club members: "He is a master, but he has never been here before."

"The Starlight Festival has a lot of guests recently, so it's not surprising that there are more new faces, not to mention that Skynet's review has been relaxed, haven't you heard?"

"It's really ruthless. The key is that the speed is too fast. I didn't even have time to react before I was knocked down by him a few times."

"Haha, you can't do that twice. You didn't see Heifeng and he was defeated. He is also good at speed. I'm surprised that he has fought so many battles, and he hasn't felt tired yet? He really has such a high spirit. Power? Is it the royal family?"

"His way of using mental power is more refined, I personally feel."

Tu Hao leaned over to take a look, black hair and black eyes, familiar face, and then look at the style, he was speechless, he saw Shao Jun finished a game, he quickly used his privilege to open the back door, let himself line up with him, at the same time Viewing is turned off.

Shao Jun was startled when he saw him, and Tu Hao spread his hands: "It's me. Aren't you sick? Why are you here to abuse food? This is interesting, who can be your opponent." He teased Shao Jun.

When it comes to illness, Shao Jun is annoyed. Looking at Tu Hao, a rookie, he is not in the mood to continue fighting. He directly sat on the sofa in the corner of the rest area of ​​the fighting room and said, "You don't need to work?"

Tu Hao smiled: "There is a little time at noon." He looked at Shao Jun's face: "It turns out that your real face is like this, and it is quite similar to the original, so you don't hide it now? I really didn't expect you to be so young , I always thought that the former Jun was Du Yin, but Du Yin inexplicably disappeared, and you appeared next to His Majesty. It seems that His Majesty treats you very well? The medicine was transferred overnight from the Alliance to treat your illness Right? The military spaceships of the alliance drive straight in, this is a scene that has never been seen in the history of the empire."

Shao Jun looked at Tu Hao, and said that he had changed multiple identities, but this irrelevant person in front of him had seen multiple identities of himself, and he was from the security department, he knew everything, and he didn't even know that he understood. How much, he simply refused to answer the call, and asked him instead: "Now the Tu family is favored by His Majesty again?"

Tu Hao's face was slightly embarrassed: "Hey, Your Majesty let go of the past and released my uncle." The habit of not talking about himself in the security department came back, and he started to change the topic, but he was actually quite guilty : "Last time Your Majesty took the number 007, I thought it was you, but in the end I slipped my mouth and was completely interrogated by Your Majesty. I had no choice but to tell you about your former sparring training at the club. I am really worried that I will hurt you. "

Shao Jun looked at him in surprise, and Tu Hao whispered: "It was when he was in Yueyao City before, when 007 went online, I thought it was you, but..." He touched his nose in embarrassment: "It turns out that that one is actually His Majesty , he arrested me for interrogation, you know, I can’t help it, I’ve told you everything.”

Shao Jun was silent for a while. No wonder Ke Xia was still wary of him before, but suddenly changed his attitude. It turned out that the root cause was here. His vest had been stripped clean long ago, and he hadn't recovered his memory at that time. Ke Xia didn't explain too much to himself, and there were countless conspiracies when he returned to Sun Zhui City, so he was so confused.

Seeing him pondering, Tu Hao felt more and more guilty: "My whole family is in the empire, so I really have no other choice, but your majesty is wise and a very good emperor, so he shouldn't treat you like that? Please forgive me for my difficulties."

Shao Jun shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm just surprised that your Tu family was supposed to be loyal to Ke Ji, but now you change your position so quickly?"

Tu Hao's face darkened, he knew the position of this man in His Majesty's heart, and quickly explained: "You must not say anything in front of Your Majesty, our security department has always been completely loyal to His Majesty... go up The most trusted one is Director Zod's line."

The security department has always been the sword of the monarch, but it will soon be disgusted by the next monarch, and then it will be quickly cleaned up. The whole Tu family is naturally well versed in self-protection. The whole family is in a kind of extremely scattered and indifferent Once he was disgusted by the previous monarch, that person would soon seem to be abandoned by the family.

And whoever secretly enters the security core and grasps the unknowable power will also receive full support from all the resources of the family. This is the way the Tu family established the family that outsiders do not know.

Knowing his position, Shao Jun didn't say anything, just smiled, sat on the sofa beside him, and gossiped with him: "Your Majesty is in Starry City, the security work should be very tight, why are you so bored on Skynet?"

Tu Hao said: "Your Majesty stayed in Fanxing City directly. It seems that the time in Fanxing City will be extended. I am here in Sun Chasing City. I have nothing to do at present."

Shao Jun frowned and said, "Wouldn't that be a mistake in state affairs?"

Tu Hao shrugged and shook his head: "No, he made an imperial order the day before yesterday to strictly inspect and clean up all underground laboratories. The empire strictly inspects the laboratories that make replicas, the entertainment venues that raise replicas, and the nobles. Replicant technology only allows Replication of relevant limbs and organs within the scope of medicine and research is not allowed to make replicas as a whole. Anyone who makes or raises replicas will be punished. Light fines, demotions, and admonitions will directly confiscate all property , demoted to serfs."

Shao Jun was stunned, and Tu Hao said: "The first one to be cleared was the laboratory under the name of Prince Ke Ye. Prince Ke Ye personally wrote a letter of repentance and published it on the star network, claiming to voluntarily donate three years of fief income to the national treasury. , and said that he would never do it again in the future. King Kexi took the initiative to clean up his pets, and now all the nobles are cleaning up."

Shao Jun said: "No one objected?" The news that he is a replicant should have been suppressed, and it was only a rumor to the outside world. He now has a complete imperial identity certificate.Dr. Desiree and others have all been repatriated to the alliance. Ke Xia originally wanted to clean up this evil industry, but there were many things just after he took the throne. I think he suddenly ordered it. It should be stimulated by his illness and blamed on those copy It's an underground laboratory.

Tu Hao said: "Why don't we say that our Majesty is smart? Duplicating people is illegal, but because they were not investigated before, the imperial law was in vain, but now that His Majesty wants to arrest him, who would dare to jump out of it and be the first bird? What's more, even Prince Ke Ye was arrested to be a negative example, everyone just lost some entertainment items and money, and won't embarrass His Majesty on this."

Thinking of this, Tu Hao sighed again: "This is His Majesty's brilliance. He came from the Alliance. The House of Lords, the Senate, and the Parliament all stared at him to see if he was going to take the alliance immediately. I’m about to move here, and I’m waiting for opposition.”

"As a result, after His Majesty took office, he only promulgated a few new decrees, all of which were indifferent and unconstrained. It seemed that they did not really touch the privileges of the nobles, but every item was very long-term."

Shao Jun finally couldn't help asking: "What decree did he promulgate?"

Tu Haodao: "Except for the duplicant, the first one is to relax the access review of the Imperial Starnet and Skynet. Most good citizens with spiritual power can access Skynet."

Tu Hao said in shock: "Most people don't have much objection to this, but the opening of Starnet and Skynet means that the original education, information, data and other network resources on Starnet and Skynet will be available to all at the same time. common people enjoy it."

He looked at Shao Jun: "You know, right? In the past, how difficult it was for ordinary people to obtain the resources of a Starnet or Skynet. The business qualifications of stores on Starnet and Skynet were controlled by nobles everywhere. Open, the general public can get free education and learning opportunities, have more employment opportunities, and have more free resources, such as doing business, such as selling their own technology, etc., imperial nobles and churches will no longer be able to monopolize network resources. And the open Skynet will allow the people's spiritual power to be improved higher and higher, and the quality of the people will improve rapidly."

However, Shao Jun knew that this one was mostly for repaying Estin and Luo Dan, so he nodded his head and asked, "What about the others?"

Tu Haodao: "The other is to establish a serf military academy and allow serfs to enter the military academy. Not only can all lords not prevent serfs from applying for the military academy, they must also send serfs to the military academy in proportion to each year. Once admitted to the serf military academy, the serfs are automatically classified as military slaves. The tuition, board and lodging expenses are all paid by the military, and after graduation, they will serve in the Imperial Army.”

Shao Jun showed all his thoughts, and Tu Hao said: "Most people only think that His Majesty is to supplement the loss of the army over the years. Military slaves are always very useful, but the Zerg war has lost too much. Of course, this is not wrong. After all, even if His Majesty has been in the alliance before, the relationship with the president of the alliance is not bad now, but now each of them has their own country, and the president will change sooner or later. It is also too common, so it is the best measure to keep fresh blood in the army and draw it from the vast serfs of the empire, and the serfs will study hard in exchange for a new future."

"And when there are more and more slaves who have mastered knowledge and power, sooner or later the serfs will turn around and abolish the serf system."

Tu Hao sighed: "After repeated analysis, the elders of our family felt that this His Majesty is really smart and has a long-term vision. Every step is so thoughtful. We all thought that he was just good at leading the army, but we didn't expect him to be more than just a man who can control A mech fighter, but an extremely clever ruler."

"Every decree has subtly divided the interests of the lords, nobles, and the church, and planted mines for them. This is not obvious. Even if the lords can see His Majesty's intentions, it is not obvious. The method is to unify and unite all the lords to oppose. He will not directly abolish the serf system and the privileges in the hands of the lords and nobles. He just stepped on that line, let go of the authority, and let the common people and the serfs fight for themselves permission."

"In the past, an emperor in the empire also directly abolished serfdom. The result was that the serfs who had recovered their freedom were at a loss. They had no land and no jobs. Their hunger and anger made them revolt instead. His Majesty Ke Hua also wanted to abolish the serfdom at that time. As a result, Even the parliament did not pass it. Once so many serfs are abolished, how to protect their rights will become a big problem, which will inevitably cause turmoil. Top-down reforms are often dragged along, and finally turned into self-defeating. "

"Your Majesty's move is too powerful. He gave the serfs the opportunity to receive education and the opportunity to advance. Even if it is only the army, it is a very important bridge. Serfs who are interested will seize this opportunity. And the military , and it is completely controlled by His Majesty, he has such deep intentions at such a young age, we believe that as long as he is given enough time, he will definitely make many world-renowned achievements during his reign."

The more Tu Hao said, the more excited he became: "The future of the empire will definitely be under the leadership of this majesty, which is limitless!" His eyes flashed with excitement: "This is a wise king, who deserves our all-out assistance. The empire will achieve unprecedented glory!"

"What glory?"

Ke Xia suddenly appeared behind him, looked at Shao Jun who was sitting on the sofa, and showed a flattering smile, not forgetting to secretly continue to put a layer of light on his face as inconspicuously as possible—he was busy with government affairs, In the past, when Shao Jun was in the ward, he didn't know when he got on Skynet, and he didn't even say hello to him, so he knew he must be still sulking, so he quickly got on Skynet too.

Tu Hao was choked up, even though he was flattering with sincerity just now, but what the Lord heard... he jumped up very quickly, saluted Ke Xia, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty You're here? I still have some business to do, so Rong Chen will leave first."

Ke Xia said, "Go."

Tu Hao went off the assembly line at the speed of light and disappeared. Ke Xia looked at Shao Jun as if he had just come off the fighting arena. The collar of his shirt was slightly open, his sleeves were rolled up at his elbows, and he leaned on the sofa with a pair of long legs crossed and stretched out. The black hair and black eyes are still as indifferent as ever, but they are terribly sexy.

Although it was in Skynet, Ke Xia still felt the thirst from the depths of his soul. He sat down, approached him cautiously, and said with a guilty conscience: "How many times did you fight with Tu Hao? You are sick. , even if it is mental power, it's best not to be too intense..."

Shao Jun said: "No, he is too good, we just chatted, he was talking about the decree issued by His Majesty just now, he praised His Majesty's vision, broad mind, and very clever means of governing the country."

Ke Xia didn't feel the joy of being praised by someone he liked at all. Jun's polite words showed that he was still angry in his heart, and he couldn't ignore it. He looked around and said, "It's not good here, come with me, I'll prepare something for you." I found a very beautiful place, come here." He coaxed in his voice, carefully accompanying Xiaoxin.

Shao Jun didn't say anything. In fact, what Tu Hao said just now made him feel less angry about being quarantined for no reason. He is not the kind of person who makes trouble for no reason. He couldn't refuse directly to Ke Xia who was always smiling at him. He was so pretentious, so he stood up anyway, Ke Xia took his hand, and in a flash, he appeared under a beautiful rose-white pagoda.

This is a very tall tower.

From the bottom to the top of the tower, there are beautiful roses growing all over the body, reminiscent of the princess who lives on the tower in many fairy tales.

Ke Xia led him to take the elevator from bottom to top. The transparent elevator can watch the beautiful buildings of the entire Skynet virtual empire continent gradually sinking at his toes from the inside to the outside.

After getting out of the elevator, there was a picture hanging on the wall, which was very eye-catching.

It was in the bright red afterglow of the sunset, Shao Jun was sitting on the bench, showing only a profile, Ke Xia turned his head and was talking to him, his eyebrows were slightly raised, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his face was still full of childishness.

Shao Jun was instantly brought back to his past memory by this photo, and he remembered that it was a photo taken by a young student when he went for a walk with him one day after Ke Xia was diagnosed.After that, Ke Xia's condition deteriorated completely, and he could only spend every day unconsciously in bed.

That evening, the two of them actually knew nothing about the future. One didn't know that he would be able to overcome his terminal illness and return to the peak of power in the empire, and he himself had never thought about it when he decided to stay with Ke Xia and start taking care of him. At that time, their fate lines were already firmly entangled.

He stared at the photo for a while, his originally indifferent face softened imperceptibly, and the corner of Ke Xia's mouth slightly curled up nervously, he knew that his Jun was the easiest to soften his heart, so he stretched out his hand to gently hold his hand : "Accident? This photo was found after they cleaned up my study after the Marshal's Mansion exploded. It was actually the first and only photo of you and me together."

Shao Jun looked at Ke Xia's young face in the photo: "Your personality was really bad back then, but you still look pretty."

Ke Xia said sourly: "So you haven't abandoned me, is it because I'm good-looking?"

Shao Jun said frankly: "If you are good-looking, your tolerance will be much higher."

Although he already knew his lover's face control attribute, Ke Xia couldn't help laughing, and dragged him into the room.

Although it is the room on the top of the tower, it is still quite spacious, with large floor-to-ceiling windows, the room is very bright, it seems that the afternoon sun shines into the window, the soft big window and all the furnishings in the room All are clearly visible in the bright light.Standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows with window screens, you can see the blue sea at your feet, and countless white seabirds soaring past the windows.

Shao Jun held his breath slightly, stood by the window and looked down at the sea, he couldn't help but feel his heart widened, and most of the aggrieved feeling of being isolated in a small ward disappeared in an instant.

He stretched out his hand to press against the window, Ke Xia stood behind him, wrapped his hands around his waist from back to front, lowered his head and kissed his ear lightly.

In an instant, Shao Jun seemed to be struck by a bolt of lightning. How could it be... Shao Jun's mind went blank. Pressing his hand on the glass window, the entire skin behind his ears became hot. How could he be so sensitive?The feeling of this body is too vivid and realistic, right?

Ke Xia whispered into his ear and smiled, "Forgive me?" He unbuttoned Shao Jun's shirt with his dexterous fingers, the sun shone on Shao Jun's skin, and there were sun rays blowing from nowhere. With the residual heat of the wind, Shao Jun closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "It's too bright here..."

Ke Xia had already pressed him on the bed, and said with a smile: "I like it so bright, it's nice to be able to see you clearly."

The sun gradually slanted to the west, and finally fell on the seashore before setting. The setting sun was bright orange and red, illuminating the whole room red. In the setting light, Shao Jun was lying on the bed, holding tightly to the pillow with one hand, panting with his eyes closed. Xia turned her face to kiss his face, and held his hand with one hand, interlocking her fingers.

The over-stimulating feeling made Shao Jun's mind go blank. He opened his eyes, but quickly closed them again. It was really too bright... The over-bright light and the hot wind blowing through the pores felt too real, which made him There is an illusion that he and Ke Xia are making out in the wild during the day, and this psychological taboo tension amplifies his feeling.

Even if he knew that this was Ke Xia's domain, it was impossible for anyone else to be there.

In the Skynet access cabin, the black-haired young man opened his eyes, his heart was beating rapidly, he panted and pushed open the cabin door, turned over and lay down on the bed, and threw himself into the dry and soft quilt. Drenched in sweat, his head was still dizzy, the overly strong aftertaste still lingered in his nerves, he closed his wet eyes, gritted his teeth, and said that he was not fully recovered from his illness, so he couldn't be in Skynet too much. Too intense? !
