As if struck by lightning, my cousin turned his head stiffly, and saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Empire standing at the door.

His heart was greatly shocked, and he was so frightened that he was completely speechless.

I am done! ! !

Standing in the direction against the light, Chu Zheng couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

Qiao Yiran didn't know well, and immediately pushed his cousin out through the back door on the other side: "What are you doing here, why don't you hurry up!"

Before my cousin could react, Qiao Yiran shut the door with a bang.

Chu Zheng walked in slowly.It didn't stop Qiao Yiran from dying.

He raised his eyebrows: "Your Excellency really has a lot of friends, it's really surprising."

Qiao Yiran had just denied the connection with the White Night Star Pirates not long ago, and now he was slapped face to face, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Your Highness..."

Saying anything at the moment is suffocating.

The Baiyexing bandit escaped from prison with great difficulty, but was stopped in the inner city by Chu Rongxuan and others.

According to my cousin, the guards have already carried out a blanket search in the inner city, and it will only be a matter of time before they are found.

Once they are arrested, it is only a matter of time before their identities are exposed.

Qiao Yiran's mind was spinning rapidly. Under such circumstances, if he wanted to break the situation, it seemed that there was only one way left.

The conflict between Chu Rongxuan and Chu Zheng has reached an irreconcilable level. If we start from here, we may be able to find a chance.

Under Chu Zheng's scrutinizing eyes, Qiao Yiran finally broke the boat and spoke.

"Your Highness, do you know the reason why Second Highness chased after Bai Yexing bandits this time?"

Chu Zheng looked over lazily.

He has never cared much about this kind of gossip.

Qiao Yiran twisted his neck a little uncomfortably, gritted his teeth and made up his mind, and finally said the earth-shattering news: "It's because...they found a high-level energy mine in the chaotic zone!"

As soon as the words "advanced energy mine" came out, even a calm person like Chu Zheng couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

The wages of avarice is death.

The energy business is currently the most profitable business in the empire. Owning an energy mine is indeed a huge fortune. No wonder Chu Rongxuanxing mobilized the crowd and insisted on catching them.

Qiao Yiran licked his dry lips, and made up his mind to say the most crucial information: "The Second Highness only knows that there are traces of secondary energy mines there, but he doesn't know it yet. With the deepening of mining, We have discovered a primary energy mine in the center of the vein."

The word "first level" finally made Chu Zheng's face change.

If high-grade energy mines only represent endless wealth, then the significance of first-class energy mines in terms of armaments is immeasurable.

If an SSS-level mech uses a secondary energy mine for battery life, it is likely to face the dilemma of exhausting the energy mine and needing to replace the energy mine in a stalemate battle.

But if you use a first-level energy mine, you can greatly improve the endurance of the sss-level mecha, and you can use some powerful killer moves at will, so you won't be as embarrassing as before.

The sss mecha formation is usually a group of two, and they can take turns to make time for their teammates to replace supplies.

But in a rapidly changing battlefield, a second of hesitation may lead to completely different results.At this time, the first-level energy mines that can provide ultra-long battery life have become extremely critical strategic materials.

Chu Zheng narrowed his eyes dangerously, and looked at Qiao Yiran. He was not as careless as before. On the contrary, he raised a kind of vigilance against his opponent: even such top-secret information can be known, it seems that this strange royal The Imperial Guard, his identity may be a little more important than I imagined before.

After a pause, Chu Zheng's expression finally became serious: "You want to cooperate with me...why?"

Qiao Yiran smiled wryly: "Now the inner layer of Emperor Star has been completely sealed off. Apart from Your Highness, I can't think of anyone else who has this ability and can help us bring Bai Ling out."

On the night when they met on a narrow road, Chu Zheng was unwilling to give any face to Chu Rongxuan's obstruction. In this emperor star where high-ranking officials gathered, I am afraid that there is no second person who can compete with such power.

Qiao Yiran gritted his teeth forcefully: "If Your Highness is willing to cooperate with us, we offer the coordinates of the energy mines in the chaotic zone with both hands, and we are willing to share the energy ores mined with His Highness [-]-[-]."

Chu Zheng didn't say a word, Qiao Yiran's heart was agitated as he looked at Qiao Yiran with dark eyes.

Even if he has the coordinates of the energy mine, because the energy mine is located in the chaotic zone, Chu Zheng has no contact with any star bandits, and it is not easy to go in and intervene directly. In terms of share, the labor, expenses, and losses during the mining process are all borne by the White Night Star Pirates, which can indeed be regarded as quite sincere.

Chu Zheng squinted his eyes and made his own request: "I can give you all the second-level energy mines. It doesn't mean much to me, but I want [-]% of the first-level energy mines."

Qiao Yiran knew that it was because Chu Zheng had a special team composed entirely of sss mechas - if this elite team of elites was to exert its full strength on the battlefield, a first-level energy mine was essential.

Qiao Yiran carefully estimated the output, and finally nodded solemnly.

There are not many high-end mechas on the rebel side, and money-burning machines like the sss mechas can't afford many in total, and most of them are fleet members fighting collectively.

Chu Zheng is willing to ask for more first-class energy mines, but it is actually better for him.

Chu Zheng got some good news today, and finally hooked the corners of his lips happily: "There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests...Your Excellency is indeed a smart person."

Qiao Yiran complained secretly in his heart: A cold-blooded and ruthless political figure like Chu Zheng cannot be speculated by common sense at all.Generally speaking, Omega will instinctively feel attached to the Alpha who marked him. As a result, on the third day after Chu Zheng was marked, he had an accident directly. He talked to him because he thought he died not fast enough. !

Thinking of his cousin, a prodigal son, today's reckless trip caused him to give away almost half of the energy mines, Qiao Yiran's heart was bleeding.

Seeing Qiao Yiran's aching face, Chu Zheng felt a strange joy unexpectedly.

He raised the corners of his lips viciously, and reminded the newly promoted officer with rare kindness: "Your Excellency Qiao Yiran, the swearing-in ceremony of the Imperial Guard will begin soon. But it's a little bad."

Qiao Yiran hastily arranged her appearance and walked towards the main hall.

The large square in front of the Central Palace is now neatly lined up with soldiers in military posture.

As an outstanding graduate of the Warship Command Department, Qiao Yiran won the honor of standing in the first row.

According to the original list, Qiao Yiran should belong to the Central Palace and be under the direct jurisdiction of the old emperor. As for how His Highness the Crown Prince changed the ownership of the imperial guards in the final stage, it is beyond his ability to find out.

On the high platform, Chu Zheng was half a step behind the old emperor. He maintained his usual cold expression and looked at the soldiers under the stage with his lips tightly pressed.

Chu Zheng's military uniform was straight, his boots were cold and stiff, and his military cap could not conceal the sharpness of his eyebrows.

This condescending attitude made his dignity and arrogance look inviolable.

Like a sharp blade, the inadvertently flickering snow-bright cold light makes people feel extremely dangerous.

However, Qiao Yiran recalled that night inappropriately, the appearance of this icy Highness who could not restrain himself from bending over.

His eyes were as cold as polar ice, but his lips were as hot as spreading flames.

Maybe it was influenced by the pheromone that fit too well.

Thrilling.

Can not resist.

It's heart-wrenchingly sweet.

As the battle song sounded, Qiao Yiran took a deep breath, suppressed his chaotic thoughts, and walked into the palace in front of him with steady steps.

The central palace is magnificent, and this main hall, which is usually used for holding major gatherings, is decorated magnificently.

The high dome, the murals painted with gold and colorful colors, and the people in military uniforms are lined up neatly. This solemn and solemn occasion fully demonstrates the imperial spirit.

Chu Zheng stood at the head in a dark blue dress, waiting for the fresh blood under his command to swear allegiance to him.

The young man standing beside Qiao Yiran is a graduate representative of the Mecha Combat Department.

When this tall and burly man actually saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, he was so excited that he could hardly speak.

His Highness Chu Zheng owns a special formation of sss mechs. This is a luxurious lineup that was spent with a lot of money from His Highness's private treasury. It is almost the ultimate dream of every student in the Mecha Combat Department.

Former geniuses of the mecha combat department, such as Mu Tianhan, Shen Nanxing and other outstanding seniors, all served in this special formation and made immortal feats in the battle against the Zerg.

Although in the various rumors of Emperor Star, His Highness Chu Zheng is iron-blooded and ruthless, and his reputation can stop children from crying at night, but when it comes to the real battlefield of life and death, such a calm, sober, unambiguous officer can indeed bring great joy to everyone. Great sense of security.

Listening to the master of ceremonies in front announce the beginning of the oath.

Qiao Yiran performed a standard military salute facing Chu Zheng, and began the oath ceremony.

Except that they were plugged in, everyone else sincerely wanted to be loyal to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The youthful faces around them were full of vitality, and they looked at Chu Zheng with infinite fanaticism and admiration.

Such an atmosphere made Qiao Yiran feel a little moved: Although there are some criticisms in his character, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Empire is strong, brave, and has made great achievements. He is indeed very popular in the army.

The powerful voices of the young generals echoed in the hall, bringing deafening echoes.

"His Royal Highness Chu Zheng, Qiao Yiran, the First Military Academy of the Empire, and the Battleship Command Department, swear allegiance to you!"

"From then on, we have the same position as His Highness, share common interests, trust each other, and never betray!"

"I would like to expand the territory for you, and you will be invincible in all battles!"

Chu Zheng personally issued a letter of appointment for this outstanding representative of the warship command department.

With his head down, Qiao Yiran solemnly accepted the bronzing letter of appointment.

The fingers of the two are touching.

Chu Zheng's hands were slender and fair, but many calluses had been worn out from the long and cruel training.

Just looking at these slender and powerful hands, it is hard to imagine that the guy in front of him who is invincible on the battlefield and always leads the mecha formation to the front is actually a weak and helpless Omega.

Qiao Yiran suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and walked through the ceremony calmly.

According to the routine procedure, both Chu Zheng and Chu Rongxuan after accepting the oath need to listen to His Majesty's instructions, usually just a few words of encouragement.

Chu Zheng and Chu Rongxuan stood side by side. The two looked at each other with disgust, and the distance between them was a bit far.

However, just as the ceremony was about to end, Qiao Yiran keenly discovered that something was wrong with Chu Zheng's situation.

Although Chu Zheng turned his back to everyone, he could only see a thin back as tall and straight as a green pine.

His dress still didn't have a single wrinkle, and the noble pride cultivated by being steeped in royal etiquette since childhood was unshakable.

But his back was stiff, and his fingers were clenched into fists quietly on one side, as if he was forcibly enduring something.

The old emperor sitting at the top was still talking at length.

Due to the already marked relationship between the two, Qiao Yiran could vaguely feel that the restless atmosphere in the air was faintly spreading.

——It's a sign of invalidation!

This is the central palace hall where the ceremony is being held!
