Pei Jingtong's influence spread throughout the entire Lanjun Empire. Before Nan Heyu and Jian Chensu were born, he was the most core figure in the upper echelon of the empire, and he was the object of countless people's fawning.

In the previous year, Pei Jingtong's power was not as good as before, so many grasses were blown to the other side with the wind.Pei Jingtong saw it in his eyes and held a grudge in his heart.

Now that Nan Heyu and Jian Chensu had finally collapsed, Pei Jingtong, who had endured it for a long time, finally held an extremely grand banquet in his manor, and even invited many star network media to enter the live broadcast.

Unlike Nan Heyu, who tends to have a simple aesthetic, Pei Jingtong likes gorgeous and complicated things very much.Naturally, his subordinates followed suit and attended the event wearing dresses with the traditional characteristics of the Lan Jun Empire.

Ten minutes before the guests entered the arena, all Starnet media members had arrived at the filming area, and had finished adjusting the suspension camera and other things.

Unlike the guests in fancy dress, the media uniformly wore black formal attire, which looked very neat from a distance.

"...Pei Jingtong really can't hold his breath." A senior reporter said to his colleagues standing beside him while adjusting the equipment.

After hearing his words, his colleague immediately became nervous. He looked around worriedly, and after confirming that no one noticed him, he said, "Be careful that someone at the scene can hear you."

"Che..." the first reporter who spoke said contemptuously, "What are you afraid of, Pei Jingtong's tail is almost up to the sky now, how can we have time to care what we little bastards think?"

Unlike Nan Heyu, who had mixed reputations in the past, among the people of the Lanjun Empire, a large number of people have always been very disgusted with Pei Jingtong.Especially with the comparison of the previous year, they didn't want to see Pei Jingtong at the upper echelons of the Lanjun Empire.

Obviously, the reporter in front of him is one of them.

"Hey," the younger colleague sighed and said, "We don't want to see Pei Jingtong make a comeback, but it's useless. Everyone is in this industry and knows a lot more than ordinary people. Empire Those rumors in the military department... It's not like you haven't heard of it."

The reporter who was the first to speak fell silent. After a long time, he spoke again: "...His Royal Highness Jian Chensu and Admiral Nan Heyu, they will definitely be safe." I don't know if this is to comfort others , or to comfort myself.

Has the live broadcast started yet? Just like these two reporters, many people nearby are exchanging various gossip from the upper echelons of the Lanjun Empire with their colleagues recently.

Because the matter is of great importance, the news cannot be released casually without verification, and the news that these reporters have worked so hard to find can only be circulated in private.

The more there is no movement from the royal family, and the more they hold back to prevent them from publishing, the more they believe in the "insider story" they have learned.

The media waiting area was a little noisy, but when the live broadcast started, it finally quieted down.

In the past, Pei Jingtong didn't really like the media coming into his home to interview and film the banquet scenes. Perhaps it was because he wanted to show off this "victory". Today, he rarely arranged for the media to enter the venue live, and there were more than ten minutes of footage from the beginning of the banquet.

At the same time as the live broadcast started, the live band also played music.As the host, Pei Jingtong walked out of the manor for the first time, and waited at the entrance. The atmosphere was very lively for a while.

Unlike the scene, when Pei Jingtong's face appeared on the live broadcast channel, the comment area was immediately flooded with the word "hehe".

Despite the fast flow of comments, one was quickly liked and rose to the top.

"First of all, I don't understand the politics of the empire. I have never paid attention to the change of power of the imperial army that everyone is talking about. But as a citizen of the Lanjun Empire and a citizen living on a planet on the edge of the empire, I personally experienced the protection of Admiral Nan Heyu and Prince Jian Chensu.

Now the general and His Royal Highness are in danger, but Duke Pei Jingtong appeared in front of us so happily, it is really chilling! "

The message that was pushed to the top is already very gentle, and the more content that is scrolling at this time is all cursing Pei Jingtong.

However, Duke Pei Jingtong didn't know this, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

After the live broadcast started, the guests invited by Pei Jingtong entered the venue one by one.All kinds of high-end costumes dimmed the starlight in the night sky that night, and it was so lively that it seemed that the recent sorrow of the empire had nothing to do with him.

Netizens on Xingwang became more and more angry, but there was nothing they could do.

After more than half an hour, these more than a hundred guests finally entered the venue.At the same time, the live broadcast outside the field ended, and the camera switched to the infield reporters who had already prepared on the other side.

When all the guests took their seats, Pei Jingtong finally walked in slowly.

The banquet hall of Pei Jingtong Manor was very gorgeously designed, with golden decorations everywhere. When the camera shifted from outside to here, the audience thought that they had fallen into some giant dragon's lair.

Pei Jingtong, who was wearing a dark red velvet dress, appeared at the door. Seeing this, everyone in the venue turned to look at him, and immediately applauded.

The media who participated in the off-site live broadcast just now did not leave the scene so quickly. They stood in place and used their optical brains to watch the live broadcast with the star network audience.

After seeing this scene, the reporter who had been talking before the live broadcast couldn't help but smiled disdainfully, and complained: "Vulgar. I think Pei Jingtong's ostentation is bigger than that of the royal family."

After walking to the center of the banquet hall, Pei Jingtong smiled and waved to everyone and said, "Okay, thank you for coming tonight."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Starnet's live broadcast channel was filled with a bunch of swear words, and there were even so many paid barrages that he could bury Pei Jingtong's face underneath.

As soon as Pei Jingtong finished speaking, there was another burst of applause.

Those who were invited by Pei Jingtong to come here today, except for the Pei family, were all on his side from beginning to end. They have been "suffocated" for almost a year, and today there is a sense of pride all over their bodies.

After saying what he just said, Pei Jingtong took a glass of red wine from the waiter beside him. Seeing his posture, the scene immediately fell silent.

Pei Jingtong seemed to have something to say,

Although the netizens on Xingwang wanted to continue scolding Pei Jingtong, it can be seen that after he was about to speak, he finally stopped what he was doing.

After picking up the wine glass, the expression on Pei Jingtong's face became serious.He raised his wine glass high and looked around, and finally said: "Everyone knows that the Lanjun Empire has encountered many difficulties recently. For example, Admiral Nan Heyu and Prince Jian Chensu, who are loved by many people, both People were seriously injured—"

Speaking of this, Pei Jingtong suddenly stopped, as if he was worried that he would "say something that shouldn't be said" if he was not careful.

After a while of silence, the man put down the wine glass in his hand, smiled at the live broadcast camera and continued: "In short, our Lanjun Empire has been depressed for a long time because of the recent news, especially those who came to the banquet today Ladies and gentlemen, these past few weeks have been working non-stop in their posts!"

Pei Jingtong raised his wine glass to those people, "So, why don't we use today's banquet to reawaken the empire!"

As soon as Lord Duke finished his words, the message board on the star network immediately exploded.

Although the live broadcast area only opened the simplest text comment function to the public, with the unadorned text, anyone can see how angry everyone is after hearing these words.

"???"

"What Pei Jing said to you is human?"

"It seems that we don't want to be happy. Does he know that everyone is worried about the general and His Royal Highness?"

"Cut... Pei Jingtong has been in the empire for so many years, and he is already a genius. Do you think he may not know?"

"Duke Pei Jingtong definitely did it on purpose."

"He still has the face to say, I think he might be the one who did what happened to Admiral Nan Heyu. He still wakes up the empire? Pooh!"

"Don't just talk about it upstairs. I believe that Duke Pei Jingtong is definitely not such a person."

After saying that, Pei Jingtong drank the wine in his hand, and then another burst of applause broke out at the scene.

Seeing this situation, the audience who were watching the live broadcast couldn't help but feel very depressed.

The waiter took back the empty cup in Pei Jingtong's hand, and the Duke's personal assistant came out and began to count their "work results" in the past few years for everyone.

This man is very good at talking. On the surface, he is simply stating the development of the Lanjun Empire in the past few years.But with a slight change in the wording, it seems to others that the achievements of the empire were all created by them.

At this moment, the two words that appear most often on the Starnet are "disgusting".

Standing aside, Pei Jing didn't speak to the Duke, but smiled and nodded to his personal assistant from time to time, as if he was very satisfied with the other's statement.

The huge crystal chandelier hanging high in the banquet hall divided the light into countless facets and cast it on the faces of everyone in the hall.When Pei Jingtong's red dress was illuminated by such lights, it was even scarlet and dazzling.

Although they don't want to admit it, everyone who sees here is very clear in their hearts - if Nan Heyu and Jian Chensu are really seriously injured and die as they uploaded on Xingwang, then in just a few years, the empire will be completely controlled by Pei Jingtong up.

Not to mention that the previous achievements were taken away by Pei Jingtong, it is likely that the master of the royal family of the Lanjun Empire will be replaced.

The more lively the scene in the banquet hall of Pei Jing's family, the more depressed the people who were watching the live broadcast on Xingwang became.

The time for the Duke to host the banquet happened to be eight o'clock in the evening, the official time of the Lanjun Empire, so many people were free to discuss this topic.The Lanjun Empire, which was already shrouded in gloom, was even more depressed.

After Pei Jingtong's assistant finished speaking, the banquet officially began.

The designated shooting time for the Starnet media is about to end, and it stands to reason that they can take a few more scenes of the banquet.But it can be seen that there are already a few journalists who are as frustrated as the netizens who are ready to pack up the camera and leave this place quickly.

Just when a certain reporter was about to leave, a colleague beside him who was in charge of transmitting data from the Star Network suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

"Wait... wait before leaving..." the reporter said blankly.

Although the two of them are not in the same type of work, they have known each other for so many years and often go on missions together, and they have already become good friends.

"What's wrong?" The reporter who was about to pack up the levitating camera and leave the venue looked at him with a puzzled expression.

The staff member who talked to him always had a smiling face, almost never showing such an expression.

"Something's wrong..." The reporter slowly approached, and he whispered next to his colleague's ear, "I seem to have seen Nan—"

Halfway through the conversation, the reporter suddenly stopped.

Now that the banquet has officially started, the scene has gradually become noisy.Because of lowering his voice, the reporter didn't hear his companion's words clearly.

Even so, after seeing that his companion was not quite right, the reporter who had planned to pack up his things and leave, finally stayed here for the time being.

At this time, it was only 5 minutes before Pei Jingtong and his assistant finished their speech, and half of the media at the scene were ready to leave.Except for a few companies that are more inclined to Pei Jingtong, the rest also plan to make up a few more banquet scenes, then close the live broadcast and leave here.

The reporter who was the first to speak leaned a little closer to his companion. His expression was very serious. After he came over, he finally whispered in the other's ear: "Look at that decorative pillar in the corner, is there a person standing behind it?" people?"

Because of the intentionally lowered voice and the weird expression on his face, after hearing this sentence, the reporter who was about to leave couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

He froze for a moment, then half-jokingly said to his companion: "Don't scare me, there can...can...there...what?"

In the interstellar era, no one is short-sighted. In addition, this reporter's job is to look after and control the floating camera. What he is best at is to lock the small camera tool in the crowd.

Therefore, looking in the direction his colleague pointed, he immediately understood what the other party was talking about just now.

"Grass……"

"Did you see it?" After seeing his companion's reaction, the first one who spoke finally asked hesitantly, "Is it him?"

Hearing this, the other person slowly pursed his lips, and nodded very hard after more than ten seconds: "It seems to be."

"Grass."

They saw a man who shouldn't be here, but stood not far away.

……

Ten minutes later, the reporters at the scene basically started to pack their things and prepare to leave here, and even some of them moved faster and disappeared into the banquet hall.

Logically speaking, the shooting time was over at this time, but there was no one from Pei Jingtong to urge him.

Everyone knew that Pei Jingtong held this banquet to show off to the entire Lanjun Empire and even StarCraft. If someone wanted to stay longer and take more shots of the banquet, he naturally didn't care.

Despite this, the two reporters still lowered their heads, pretending to check the equipment, and kept delaying the time.At this time, the live broadcast channel of Xingwang has been closed, but they still haven't closed the floating camera.

Half an hour after the banquet started, Pei Jingtong stood in front of the stage again. This time he began to introduce his children and the major general who just replaced Nan Heyu as the temporary manager of the Chiluan Army.

I just heard Pei Jing said with pride on his face: "Today I would like to introduce to you grandly, the one standing next to me - my nephew Pei Qiaoguang, he is a very good mecha pilot, graduated from the imperial military school."

After all, a young man walked out from the crowd.

There were quite a few soldiers who came to this banquet today, and they all wore the traditional costumes of the Lanjun Empire, only the one standing beside Jian Chensu in front of him was wearing a military uniform.

"The clothes of the Chiluan Legion." The reporter whispered.

That's right, what he was wearing today was the black military uniform that belonged to Chiluan, and the strelitzia totem on his shoulders was particularly obvious under the lighting of the scene.

Pei Qiaoguang was mentioned in the book "Rebirth of an Interstellar Empire". He is Pei Jingtong's distant cousin, who has almost no blood relationship.

Because he was one of the few descendants of the Pei family who was admitted to the Imperial Military Academy, he was sent to Chiluan by Pei Jingtong after graduation, earning the rank of "major general" by the way.

Everyone knows that he does not have this ability.

In the past, Pei Qiaoguang had been unknown in the Chiluan Army, and even Nan Heyu would often accidentally forget that there was such a person.

Now when Admiral Nan Heyu disappeared, Pei Qiaoguang was finally promoted.

"During the absence of Admiral Nan Heyu, Chiluan decided that Pei Qiaoguang would be the temporary manager." Pei Jingtong said proudly.

As soon as Pei Jingtong finished speaking, Pei Qiaoguang, who was standing beside him, stepped forward and saluted everyone.

Because Pei Jingtong's subordinates no longer manage the media area, when Pei Jingtong started to speak, the two reporters secretly started the live broadcast again on their home channels.

After seeing the figure in the corner of the venue just now, they knew that there was definitely a big show that they couldn't miss today.

Seeing the sudden start of the live broadcast, although the audience felt strange, they still clicked in as they urgently needed to express their feelings, and continued to scold Pei Jingtong here, as well as Pei Qiaoguang who was solemnly introduced by the other party just now.

While Pei Jingtong was speaking, the reporter who had been staring at the corner just now patted his companion heavily on the shoulder, "Slap over there!" He said excitedly.

At the same time, another spare floating camera on the venue slowly rose, turning the camera to look into the corner.

After Pei Qiaoguang saluted, before he had time to return to where he was standing, he heard someone at the scene suddenly say, "Wait a minute."

His voice was not loud, but because it was too quiet here, everyone still heard the unusually abrupt words.

Who on earth dared to interrupt Pei Jingtong while he was talking.

Also because of the large size of the venue, most people did not immediately identify the source of the sound.

However, the two reporters who had already noticed the corner of the venue were different. When a voice sounded, they quickly switched to the spare live camera in coordination and swept over there.

The screen shook slightly, and after being swiped by question marks in the comment area, a man appeared in front of everyone.

The man was wearing a black silk shirt, and his slightly long hair was scattered behind his ears.He was standing against the wall, his posture very relaxed.

The light of the crystal lamp in the distance becomes much softer here, and he in the lens is like a character in an oil painting.

After saying this, he finally stood up straight and smiled forward.

"Nan Heyu!"

"I'm not mistaken! It's Nan Heyu!"

"!!"

"Is it really him?! Didn't you say he's still in the nutrition cabin?"

The comment area of ​​the live broadcast was swiped by exclamation marks, and the hands of the two remaining media members who were live broadcasting the live broadcast trembled at the same time.

Before most people in the venue realized what happened, the man continued to say: "I haven't agreed yet, how can Chi Luan just give it to others?"

Now everyone finally found the source of the sound. Hundreds of people in the venue turned around together and looked towards the corner in unison.

Under the gazes of countless people, the man in a black shirt walked slowly towards the center of the banquet hall.Although he was smiling, the aura and pressure on his body made the other person panic.

Unconsciously, all the people standing in front of him slowly backed away, making way for the man.

Finally, when he walked to the center of the venue and stood beside Pei Jingtong, His Excellency finally widened his eyes, and pronounced the name as if he had seen a ghost.

"Nan... Nan and Yu!"

"Long time no see." The general said with a smile.

Pei Jingtong seemed to be nailed in place, not daring to move at all.

After greeting him, Nan Heyu continued to walk forward, and finally stopped in front of Pei Qiaoguang.

"Sir... Lord General..." Facing the man in front of him, Pei Qiaoguang finally said these four words in a daze.

Nan Heyu didn't reply, he slowly stretched out his hand, and put it on the shoulder of the man in front of him.

Nan Heyu's movements were very light, if he hadn't seen it, he wouldn't have felt his movements at all.But even so, Pei Qiaoguang couldn't help shaking.

"Pei...Qiao Guang?" Nan Heyu slowly read the other person's name again, he was obviously smiling, but the man in front of him who was slightly taller than Nan Heyu almost lost his strength I fell to my knees.

What are Nan and Yu going to do?

Pei Qiaoguang stared at the man's movements closely, and all the people who were watching the live broadcast on Xingwang forgot to breathe and turned their attention here.

Nan Heyu's hand resting on Pei Qiaoguang's shoulder moved slowly, and finally stopped on the Strelitzia totem glowing with cold light.

Before everyone could react, Nan Heyu grabbed the totem and tore it off Pei Qiaoguang's military uniform with a strong tug.Taking advantage of the trend, the man also fell to the ground, making an extremely embarrassing sound.

Nan Heyu squatted down slowly, holding the totem and whispering in Pei Qiaoguang's ear in a moderate tone: "It's time to take back my things."
