A barrier propped up by spiritual power enveloped the crowd, snowflakes filled the sky, walking in the wind and snow, but the air around the group of people seemed to be frozen, unaffected by the weather at all.

Chi Yao took the lead, striding forward, Shi Xing followed behind him on the right side. If you look closely, you will find that the amplitude and frequency of the two people's movements during walking are surprisingly consistent.

Well, in addition to Xu Jin, Shi Xing's etiquette, Chi Yao also taught part of it himself.

The queue is not short, but the entourage is well-trained. Apart from the rustling of snow treading, only the whistling wind is left in our ears.

I don't know at what moment Shi Xing glanced back, and suddenly recalled his previous life and the first time he met Chi Yao in the tree nest. I feel that there is a huge difference in the status of the two people... Now, I didn't expect to be a member of this group of people.

At the same time, Shi Xing felt very stable in his heart, as if he had a sense of belonging.

He seems to have found his place.

"Good day, Your Majesty."

As they approached, they heard uniform greetings from the Seventh Army, and saw everyone bowing and saluting.

"Good day." Chi Yao nodded back.

The words carried spiritual power and swept away all the reception staff.

After exchanging greetings, Chi Yao looked to his side, and Shi Xing followed suit.

Chi Yao said to the receiving team, "This is Shi Xing. I saw him in the communication last time. The Seventh Army must know his situation very well, so I won't say more."

"Shi Xing, this is talking about Marshal Baishan."

"This is Mrs. Tan. She was born on Campbell Star and married to the Empire more than a hundred years ago. Everyone is used to calling her Mrs. Campbell."

Marshal Tan nodded to Shi Xing, his face was resolute and his posture was upright, his every move was full of the gallantry of a soldier.

Mrs. Campbell was noble and elegant, she smiled at Shi Xing, her facial features were beautiful, and the growth of age did not leave traces of time on the other side's face.

"This is their second son, Tan Wen, who is also Yun Wu's partner; you know Yun Wu."

Admiral Tan Wen perfectly inherited Mrs. Campbell's exquisite facial features and meticulous demeanor, but he looked like Marshal Tan.

"Needless to say about Tan Yan, you know him well."

"This is Tan Mei. Their youngest daughter is about the same age as you. You may have something to talk about in the northern border."

Tan Mei has a round face, her facial features are a little less delicate, but she is very friendly when she smiles, and her demeanor and movements are inexplicably lovable.

Shi Xing wrote down one by one, showing a decent smile to everyone.

Chi Yao's voice paused for a moment, but Shi Xing had already turned his head to look at the next person.

The next one is different from everyone in Tan's family. Strictly speaking, the other party is standing in the welcoming line, and his clothes and appearance are different from everyone on this trip.

The other party wears too much and too thick.

It was a pale young man, whose facial features could reveal the shadows of Marshal Tan and Mrs. Campbell. He was wrapped in a thick plush cloak. It was so pale that it was afraid that it would blend into this piece of crystal.

Shi Xing's heart suddenly shrank.

In a trance, he seemed to see himself before he was dying.

In the last period of time, because of the drying up of the spiritual sea, he also...

Blinking again, the scene in front of Shi Xing changed again, everyone showed different colors due to different mental powers, except for the young man in front of him, the color of the spiritual power surrounding him was gray, so dim that it was almost indistinguishable Original color.

Chi Yao's voice sounded again, a little heavy, "This is Lieutenant General Tan Chi, the eldest son of Marshal Tan, who has made outstanding contributions to the empire."

The introduction brought Shi Xing back to his senses, he quickly closed his eyes and shook his head.

Tan Chi smiled and nodded at Shi Xing, looked up and saw this scene, his expression froze, Chi Yao also noticed Shi Xing's small movements, "What's wrong?"

Shi Xing said apologetically, "I'm sorry, my ability to control is not very good."

Leakage or sudden dissipation of mental power is a common occurrence for mature Blue Stars. Tan Jia has experienced the maturity of Yunwu. When Shi Xing said this, everyone expressed his understanding.

Only Chi Yao lowered his eyes.

Shi Xing: "Lieutenant General Tan Chi, hello."

Tan Chi: "Your Highness, hello."

Chi Yao then introduced several deputy marshals and generals of the Seventh Army for Shi Xing, and then stopped, "This time the landing site was not chosen well, and everyone has been waiting in the ice and snow for a long time. Let's do this first, and the rest of the officers will come back later." Let's get to know each other again."

Even if there is spiritual power to wrap everyone in an airtight manner, the coldness of the environment cannot be changed.

There is thick snow under the feet, and after staying for a long time, the cold air rushes up from the soles of the feet.

The clothes in the northern border are all designed with a cold-proof and insulating layer. When coming from the direction of the imperial capital, Shi Xing doesn't wear any.

We all know that the Blue Stars are physically resistant before they mature, so Chi Yao mentioned that the marshal is in charge, and quickly welcomes everyone to the spaceship that has been prepared for a long time, and flies to the residence arranged by Chi Yao Shixing in the northern border.

After boarding the spaceship, Chi Yao asked Shi Xingdao, "When you saw the talk late, what ability was out of control? Talent?"

It has to be said that Chi Yao is keen.

Shi Xing nodded, and told Chi Yao truthfully what he saw, but at the end of the sentence, he hesitated a bit.

Chi Yao: "Just say what you have."

Shi Xing hesitated, "I feel... Lieutenant General Tan's spiritual sea may be drying up."

Everyone on the spaceship couldn't help but suffocate.

Xu Jin: "Are you sure?"

Shi Xing shook his head, "It's just a feeling that if you want to be sure, you need to use your talent to see it in person."

In other words, he needs to use his mental power to look deeper and see Tan Chi's mental state.

Xu Jin was stunned, and after he couldn't believe it, he couldn't hide the melancholy on his face, "Tan Chi is not a few years younger than His Highness, and he is also the child I watched grow up... Really, what a pity."

There are many differences between the Imperials and the Blue Stars, but there are also many similarities.

The process of drying up the blue star's spiritual sea during the mature period is irreversible. Once it starts, the end point is death.

The imperial people are different. The process of drying up the spiritual sea of ​​the imperial people can be stopped by medical means, and after the spiritual sea is completely dried up, they will only lose their ability and weaken their physical strength. Even if their lifespan will also be reduced, they will not die because of it.

But... Even if the spiritual sea of ​​the imperial people is dry and reversible, they must intervene in the process. If it is dragged to dry up completely, no matter how powerful a medical doctor is, they will be powerless.

By that time, the empire, as it is commonly known, will be abolished.

Thinking of something, Fu Qing frowned, "But the Tan family never mentioned this!"

The drying up of the spiritual sea is not a trivial matter, and it shouldn't be because the Tan family cares about Tan Chi.

"Maybe it's not about not mentioning it." Chi Yao said in a deep voice, "I don't know."

"I remember that the reason why Tan Chi's illness is difficult to treat is because the injury is at the core of the spiritual sea."

"Yunwu is only at S level, and his spiritual power cannot penetrate into Tanchi's spiritual sea."

In other words, if it was really drying up slowly, only Tan Chi knew about it, and he kept it from everyone in Tan's family.

Thinking about it this way, Fu Qing felt uncomfortable, "Ham, the Lieutenant General is talking about it... How will the family accept it then?"

After it dries up completely, there will be no fluctuations in mental power, and it can still be hidden now. After it dries up, the Tan family will know sooner or later.

Chi Yao couldn't bear it, Shi Xing wanted to say something, but when he thought of what happened before, he swallowed it again.

But fortunately, Chi Yao took the initiative to ask, "Do you think it will be difficult for you to use your talent to see his spiritual sea?"

Shi Xing shook his head, "No."

There is one thing to say, "Major General Xiang Fei's spiritual strength is fine with my talent. No matter what stage Lieutenant General Tan's original mental power level is at 3s, his mental power is now so weak that I can unconsciously trigger his talent. If you use it, it will be even less strenuous.”

Chi Yao nodded.

Raising his eyelashes, he looked at Shi Xing seriously again, "Do you still remember what you promised me before?"

Shi Xing hurriedly said, "Remember, all actions will be subject to your Highness's arrangements, and you cannot make arbitrary claims."

Shi Xing promised, "I won't, I will do whatever your Highness asks me to do."

Regardless of whether it can be done or not, the current attitude is at least very correct, Chi Yao nodded again, considered satisfied.

The arranged residence is next to the Marshal's Mansion, a small three-story villa. Chi Yao and his party are familiar with it. Every time they come to the north, the main personnel stay here.

Tan Baishan took the lead to send Chi Yao to the door, and then let the cloud continue to lead everyone inward.

One is that it is not good for a group of people to follow Chi Yao's residence, and the other is that Chi Yao asked Yun Wu before, and he thought he had something to do with her, so he went along with the flow when talking about Baishan, and let Yun Wu greet them for the last part of the road.

A small number of soldiers on duty live on the first floor, officers live on the second floor, and Chi Yao and his entourage live on the third floor.

When only Chi Yao and the four closest people were left, Yunwu led everyone to the third floor. As soon as they stepped out of the floating ladder, they saw two big boxes. .

Yun Wu smiled and said, "His Royal Highness came to the northern border. When mother saw Shi Xing, she thought it was a good match, and happened to have nothing to send His Highness, so she brought two more boxes of crystals from Campbell. During this time, we The Northern Territory welcomes Shixing's gift."

Fu Qing knew it!

At that time, the red ore was packed in this kind of box.

Chi Yao didn't hold it, and heard that someone opened the boxes on the spot. One box was red ore, and the other box was also Campbell's famous high-grade ore, called phenophosphite.

Chi Yao took one and said to Shi Xing, "reach out."

Putting a sphalerite into the palm of the time star, although it is not as fast as the red ore, the sphalerite is still unconsciously absorbed by the time star. During the absorption process, a beautiful crystal color blooms inside, like a fireworks blooming .

"Campbell's sphalerite, is it any good?"

Shi Xing widened his eyes in surprise, "It's pretty."

Chi Yao smiled, took two more pieces and put them in Shixing's hands for him to absorb and play, and he was not polite, and said to Yunwu, "Then please tell Mrs. Campbell that the spar is very good, I am very satisfied, thank you Bei hospitality."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the servant Yan Changyue to move the box to Shixing's room later.

When Xu Jin and Yan Changyue were cleaning up the room, Chi Yao asked Yunwu to use his spiritual power to spy on the spiritual sea of ​​Xiashixing. The result was really different from that of the imperial people. Yunwu's mental power entered easily. Almost, it is shielded inside the outer layer.

It is also the mental power that disappears all at once.

Chi Yao got the result, Yunwu mission was completed, and he left.

In the evening, there was a sumptuous dinner for Chi Yao and his party at Tan's house, and Tan Baishan was making arrangements.

Chi Yao is going to wait for the servants to pack up, change clothes and go to the banquet.

After Yun Wu left, Shi Xing looked at the two large boxes of spars, and said a little embarrassedly, "The gift from the Tan family is too heavy."

Starting from Ancheng, Shi Xing took a lot of beast core crystals from the opponent, and gave them away when they came to the northern border... Tan Jia dared to give them away, Chi Yao dared to accept them, but Shi Xing was a little embarrassed to accept them.

Chi Yao looked at Shi Xing's face that had never seen the world with a smile, and took another sphalerite and put it in his palm, "Now you know why I didn't plan to come to the north in the first place, right?"

"Tan's sense of proportion in dealing with others is great."

It's so good that even if you clearly think about it, it will be very difficult to refuse in person.

They always seem to have a way to make it difficult to refuse, which is also a skill.

Hearing Chi Yao's embarrassment, Shi Xing hesitated, "Then, why don't we send it back?"

He joked about Chi Yao, "Why send it back? I even thought about a bad check before I came. I don't dare to take it if it's not necessarily true?"

The words are extremely rascal, which is a rare appearance on weekdays.

Shi Xing whispered, "Your Highness, you don't have to do this for me."

There is no need to sacrifice reputation for him, which is very precious to Chi Yao.

Originally, he wanted to tease Shi Xing, but when he saw that the child was speaking very seriously, his teasing thoughts faded in an instant.

In the end, Chi Yao only said, "Don't worry, the Tan family is much smarter than you imagined, and they can't suffer."

It was later that Shi Xing understood the meaning of Chi Yao's words.

The dinner was sumptuous and the conversation was enthusiastic. Shi Xing's cheeks were bulging and he was very satisfied after eating at the banquet.

He likes to eat, and Chi Yao will occasionally help him hold a couple of chopsticks, not deliberately, and without even looking at him, while Tanjia and the officers of the Seventh Army are talking, turning the chopsticks in their hands, the dishes are ready It fell into the Time Star Bowl.

The atmosphere during the meeting was also good, and the conversation was harmonious.

According to the usual practice, Chi Yao would always ask a few words about the recent progress of the conversation, and this time was no exception.

Tan Baishan and Mrs. Campbell thanked Chi Yao for his concern, and replied a few words, and Tan Chi also replied a few words, which sounded no different from the usual answers, that's all.

The body is the same, Yunwu is trying, everything is fine except the spiritual sea.

It's almost the same every time I come here. Chi Yao didn't specifically ask Tanchi before he came here, and his attitude was still very clear. When Tan Baishan and Mrs. Campbell felt that it was time to change the subject, Chi Yao said a few more words.

Chi Yao said, "Shixing's current rating is sss."

"Healed the major general in the guard with a mental power level of 3s, and the process was not difficult."

"Since Yun Wu has been unable to deal with the late talk, wait for two days and let Shi Xing use his talent to see the situation first."

Chi Yao didn't promise what to do after reading it, whether it would be cured or not.

But he can take the initiative to open this mouth and bring up this matter, and let Shi Xing see Tan Chi's condition without any replacement conditions. It is impossible for Tan Baishan and Mrs. Campbell not to be excited.

The two of them didn't even react immediately because they were overjoyed.

Chi Yao said a few more words, and the Tan family's family came back to their senses one after another, realizing what Chi Yao had promised.

After that, Shi Xing saw emotions such as gratitude, gratitude, gratitude, etc. on the faces of the Tan family's family...

Chi Yao politely responded to Tan Jia's words of thanks one by one.

Before going to bed at night, Chi Yao told Shi Xing about the history of the empire for half an hour. The reaction of his family members was rooted in Shi Xing's mind. From time to time, he would always think about it, remembering to talk about the excitement of Marshal Baishan and the tears in Mrs. Campbell's eyes Light, talk about the excitement beyond words, clouds and mist...

Thinking about it, Shi Xing also asked, "His Royal Highness, did you agree to see Lieutenant General Tan's condition today to facilitate the subsequent proposal to buy red ore ore stars?"

Chi Yao fiddled and explained the projection without raising his head, "Why do you say that?"

Shi Xing thought for a while, "I thought that you would let me see Lieutenant General Tan Chi only after you have negotiated all the conditions."

Chi Yao laughed: "Is this kind of person in your heart?"

Shi Xing quickly waved his hand, and learned to refute this time, "You know I didn't mean that, Your Highness, please don't deliberately misinterpret it!"

The use of the word "deliberately" can be said to a certain extent, Shi Xing has figured out part of Chi Yao's character.

The smoky eyes glanced at Shi Xing with a smile, and did not deny it.

Chi Yao: "You said it yourself today, you can use your talent to see if there is no problem."

Shi Xing didn't understand, and tilted his head, "So, are you willing to let me see him?"

"No, this is only a small part of the reason."

After a pause, Chi Yao said seriously, "A large part of it is because Tan Chi became what he is now for the sake of the empire."

"I cannot disappoint the soldiers who died for the Empire."

"It's worth the delay."

Therefore, on this basis, regardless of the purchase of red ore, Chi Yao, as His Majesty the Empire, has already made the decision to let Shi Xing see Tanchi's condition.
