On the way back, Xiao Tingyun's personal terminal was almost blown up.
The fact that mosasaurs, which are only found on the mother planet, appeared in the Drunk Red Sea and attacked the underwater world have become the number one hot search topic on the interstellar network. After this incident was exposed, it was exposed. There was also His Highness the Crown Prince who secretly took Long Jiu there to play.
Therefore, the already very popular news finally no longer topped the list.
Just because of this hot search, now everyone in the imperial city knows about it, whether they should know or not, so Xiao Tingyun's personal terminal was almost exploded.
In the speeding car speeding through the air tunnel, the roar of the land battle almost blew off the roof of the car.
"Are you saying that you are too idle? Your succession ceremony will be in three days. Instead of staying in the Prince's Mansion to prepare, you secretly took someone to the wine city? You just go to the wine city. He was so desperate that he went to the underwater world of the Red Sea???"
"Do you know that when I saw you in the video with a group of evacuated tourists, I thought I had seen a ghost?!!!"
Lu Zhan might be really angry. This is the first time since he became sensible that he has scolded Xiao Tingyun in a red-faced and thick-necked manner regardless of his dignity.
Xiao Tingyun may have known that he was in the wrong, so for the first time after being scolded by Lu Zhan, he didn't yell back.
Because of wrongdoing or guilty conscience, Xiao Tingyun was stunned and let Lu Zhan spray wildly for more than 20 minutes. Even Long Jiu, who was sitting in the passenger seat beside him, subconsciously and silently reduced his presence.
Probably because it was the first time he squirted so much, and he hadn't been sprayed back yet, Lu Zhan couldn't hold back anymore. Xiao Tingyun saw that he had no intention of ending it, and his little guilty conscience was finally suppressed by Lu Zhan. The war was exhausted.
"That's enough for you, right? Do you really treat me like your grandson?" Xiao Tingyun stared at the person on the virtual screen coldly, with a chilling tone in his voice, "I don't know what it means to give up when you're done." , don’t you want to push your limits?”
Lu Zhan suddenly came back to his senses from the feeling of relief from being scolded. Especially after meeting Xiao Tingyun's cold gaze, Lu Zhan immediately understood what it means to give up when something is good.
It's okay if you don't accept it. His Highness the Crown Prince is very narrow-minded. If he takes a grudge against you, he might come back to retaliate against you at any time.
Lu Zhan was afraid of being resented and retaliated, so he immediately laughed twice and forcibly changed the subject, "But then again, how could two mosasaurs appear in the drunken red sea? A prehistoric giant like mosasaurus. Shouldn’t beasts be found only on the home planet?”
Although he knew that Lu Zhan was forcibly changing the topic, he also shifted to the main point, so Xiao Tingyun patiently told him his guess.
Lu Zhan's eyebrows knitted together as he heard this, "What does the top administrator of Liquor City do for a living? He didn't even know that two such big behemoths were secretly thrown into the Drunken Red Sea? And that underwater world? Is the security system just a decoration? Not to mention that the danger is already over your head, even if you just appeared in that sea area, the security system of the underwater world should have discovered it in advance, right?"
"Song Ji is indeed a jobber. Let's use this incident to knock him off the top of the wine city." Xiao Tingyun said calmly: "As for the security system of the underwater world, what's going on? It will be clear after they hand over the system data tonight.”
Lu Zhan touched his chin and said, "The position of the top administrator of Liquor City is a big one. After you remove Song Ji, who are you going to replace him with?"
"Isn't there a talent election this fall? This is the first talent election since I took over. I can always select a few talented and suitable people." Xiao Tingyun obviously had an idea for a long time, so he was That's why Song Ji was so understated about this matter.
The Star Luo Empire's autumn talent election is actually the same as the ancient imperial examination in the Earth era. Although the ancient system is followed, this election is held every five years.
When Lu Zhan heard this, he knew that he had been planning an election for a long time, and then he chuckled and said, "Are you planning to change the blood of the court? I thought you could really tolerate Xiao Junchen's people. It turns out that you just stood still. Quietly wait for your own people to be replaced after the election."
Xiao Tingyun smiled and did not deny it. Although the ministers at the court were looking forward to his succession with joy, only they themselves knew what they were thinking.
Although he doesn't like to sit together, he is not used to Xiao Junchen's people. What's more, he has always been strong. When making decisions at the court meeting, he doesn't like people to contradict him, so he still goes to the court hall. Some people are best replaced by their own people.
Looking at Xiao Tingyun's expression, Lu Zhan knew that it wouldn't be long before another bloody storm broke out at the court meeting, and he couldn't help but silently pity those ministers who might be replaced but who didn't know anything yet. .
But as the old saying goes, once the emperor and his courtiers come to power, there will be a big change of blood after the new emperor takes the throne. I think those adults should have been used to it by now.
Lu Zhan sighed and chatted with Xiao Tingyun for a while before disconnecting the video communication. However, just as Lu Zhan ended, Xiao Tingyun's personal terminal rang again. This time the person calling the video communication was It's Lu Ling.
Lu Ling and Lu Zhan are worthy of being brothers. As soon as the video communication was connected, he sneered at Xiao Tingyun. However, Lu Ling was more reserved than Lu Zhan. Even when he was slandering others, he would do it. Very level.
From the beginning to the end, Lu Ling was not angry at all, nor was he blushing and thick-necked like Lu Zhan. His voice was calm and cold, but he sounded strange and angry. His attitude was even more troublesome than Lu Zhan. The shell hurts.
Moreover, Lu Ling was cleaner and neater than Lu Zhan. He would not ask why Xiao Tingyun ran to the wine city, nor did he ask about the details of Zui Honghai’s accident. He only focused on trolling people, and immediately cut off the communication after the trolling. , not even giving Xiao Tingyun a chance to explain.
Xiao Tingyun looked at the disconnected call link, expressionless for a moment.
But Long Jiu, who had watched everything, could not hold back this time and burst into laughter.
When Xiao Tingyun heard the sound, he turned to look at her. Long Jiu immediately covered his mouth, but his crooked eyebrows could still tell that she was enjoying herself secretly.
Xiao Tingyun: "Are you still laughing?"
Long Jiu hummed and shook his head.
Xiao Tingyun was so angry at her little white-eyed wolf's performance that he immediately reached out to grab her face, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Xiao Tingyun's personal terminal rang again like a soul.
Xiao Tingyun: "."
He has become a Buddha!
Looking at the name in the virtual box that popped up, Xiao Tingyun raised his eyebrows high. Long Jiu tilted his head and looked over, then said happily: "Shen Qiao? Did he also see the hot search, so Did he also call you to scold you?"
Xiao Tingyun stared at 'Shen Qiao's' name and said expressionlessly: "No, he should be here to take pleasure in his misfortune." After saying that, he pressed the connect button.
As expected, Shen Qiao's gloating laughter came out the next second the video call was connected.
Shen Qiao appeared in the video wearing a white research uniform, laughing loudly and saying: "Xiao~~~How was the experience of the thrilling trip to the bottom of the sea? You don't even know that I saw you and a group of panicked people in the hot search When all the tourists were being evacuated from the sea, I almost accidentally broke the cup in my hand."
Xiao Tingyun looked at him expressionlessly and said nothing.
Long Jiu covered his mouth and laughed.
Like a cheerful young man, Shen Qiao suddenly came closer. His entire face filled the entire virtual screen, and then he seemed to be able to sneak in from the other side of the virtual screen and get right in front of Xiao Tingyun's eyes. As if, he looked Xiao Tingyun back and forth, and then he laughed and said: "Tell me, you have to remember more, so that you can encounter such a bad thing when you rarely lose your childish innocence and go to the underwater world to play. Something?"
Xiao Tingyun remained expressionless, but his eyes gradually narrowed as he looked at him.
Shen Qiao looked like he couldn't understand, and still said cheerfully: "Tell me, what do you think?"
"I don't have any other thoughts. I just feel that money is a bit tight, so I want to end a few sponsorship projects." Xiao Tingyun said with an indifferent expression: "I see that you are so free, and you still have time to come and chat with me, so why not Just stop the funding for your laboratory."
Classmate Shen Qiao, who was gloating about the misfortune, was immediately dumbfounded, so don't make fun of the donor's father, otherwise you will offend the donor's father, who can cut off your 'living expenses' in minutes.
Shen Qiao finally realized that the sponsor's father was not someone he could laugh at, and immediately apologized: "No, no, no, no, dad, I was wrong, it was me who was so cowardly, I shouldn't have done it, but I can't stop it either." Our funds.”
Xiao Tingyun snorted softly and remained unmoved.
Shen Qiao was very adaptable. While bowing to Xiao Tingyun, he clasped his fists and said flatteringly: "Dad, I was really wrong. Seeing that I have prepared a great gift for your succession, please forgive me for being such an unfilial son. Bar."
Xiao Tingyun glanced sideways at the unfilial son and asked, "What kind of gift?"
Mentioning this great gift, the unfilial son immediately started to sneer again, "Your Canglang, the new body has been built. In order to give it to you in time for your succession ceremony, you know that I have been here for a while. What kind of life are you having? Even in my dreams, I am testing the data of the fuselage."
Although Shen Qiao described himself as pitiful, Xiao Tingyun was unmoved. Instead, he said with disdain, "You're giving me my mecha as a gift? And I paid for this mecha myself."
Shen Qiao also seemed to think it was inappropriate. He smiled and retorted: "Although it is your mecha and it is the money you spent, I have created many new functions for you, and that is all done with my brain. Thing, do you know how many brain cells I have sacrificed for this new body of yours?"
Xiao Tingyun became a little more interested and asked, "What's the new function?"
Shen Qiao hummed mysteriously, "Then I won't tell you now. You will know after you receive it and try it yourself. But I promise, you will like it."
Xiao Tingyun did not continue to pursue the question. Anyway, it was only a few days, so he could still afford to wait, so he took the lead in pressing the end button and said coldly and ruthlessly: "Okay, you can get out."
Without waiting for Shen Qiao's reaction, Xiao Tingyun disconnected the call.
This time, after the call link was disconnected, Xiao Tingyun directly turned on the do-not-disturb mode on his personal terminal in order to stop anyone from disturbing him, and rejected all the people who wanted to contact him later.
The journey back was quiet after that, and it was already evening when the two of them finally returned to the Prince's Mansion.
In the living room, a group of people were waiting for them. As soon as Xiao Tingyun and Long Jiu entered the door, everyone stared at them.
Long Jiu felt that this scene was like a three-chamber interrogation, so she moved a small step behind Xiao Tingyun.
Well, even if it is a joint trial among the three courts, let him be tried first.
Long Jiu moved like this and pushed Xiao Tingyun forward. Xiao Tingyun almost laughed out of anger at her reaction.
He pulled Long Jiu out from behind angrily, "What are you hiding from?"
Long Jiu glanced at him guiltily, thinking that she didn't want to hide either, but so many people inside looked over, so she subconsciously wanted to hide.
Xiao Tingyun glanced at the guilty expression on her face, snorted softly, raised his gaze and glanced around the people in the living room, and asked confidently: "If you don't go back to rest at night, you will be doing it here." What?"
The two Lu brothers had already sprayed one round in the afternoon, so they did not speak. Wei Chuyang, who had not contacted Xiao Tingyun, said angrily: "I wanted to go back to rest, but I didn't see you. Do I dare to go back and rest?"
Xiao Tingyun led Long Jiu in. After hearing this, he looked at Wei Chuyang and asked, "Why did you see me?"
Wei Chuyang rolled his eyes in anger at his question, "The General Administration of Security received the total security system data from Liquor City Underwater World. Didn't you say you wanted to see it, so Zhang Guangbai directly gave this data to I’ll bring it to you.”
Wei Chuyang complained with an unhappy look on his face: "Has the do-not-disturb mode been turned on on your personal terminal? I can't even send data to you, so I can only stay here and wait for you to come back."
It was clearly Xiao Tingyun who was in the wrong, but he was more arrogant than anyone else. He didn't feel embarrassed at all. He raised his hand and turned off the do not disturb mode of his personal terminal, and then said to Wei Chuyang: "Now you can pass it to me. ”
Wei Chuyang laughed angrily at his frank and clear performance, but he did not pass the data over. Instead, he said: "What are you passing on? I have seen the data. It has been tampered with. It seems like It was running normally, but it had actually been blocked for a long time, so two mosasaurs emerged from the sea, but the security system didn't even make a sound."
Xiao Tingyun nodded like this, indicating that he understood. Obviously, he should have expected it, so he was not surprised.
Wei Chuyang frowned and stared at him and said: "I asked people from the underwater world to check their main control room, but all the monitors in the main control room were out of order, so I couldn't find out who had touched the security system. .Who is so capable? Not only did he block the security system, but also destroyed all surveillance. What is even more powerful is the ability to transport two behemoths from their home star to the Imperial City without anyone noticing. Into the drunken sea?"
"Did the top administrator of Liquor City find someone to investigate?" Guan Xiyu asked, "These things can still be done if the top administrator of Liquor City is covering up."
Xiao Tingyun thought of Song Ji he saw at the beach today, and then shook his head and said: "There is no need to check that person Song Ji, he is just a loser. Although he is the top administrator of the wine city, he does not have that It’s my job to do this.”
"If it has nothing to do with him, it's because he is too lazy and has neglected his duties." Lu Wei said with a cold face: "This kind of guy who is a vegetarian can no longer be allowed to be the top administrator of the wine city, otherwise the wine city Maybe there will be some trouble in the future."
"He will be replaced in a few days." Xiao Tingyun said: "After Song Ji is replaced, the investigation of the Liquor City matter will continue."
Xie Yu, who was sitting silently next to Yu Jingzhong, suddenly glanced at Long Jiu and said hesitantly: "I'm afraid it's not easy to investigate."
As soon as he said this, everyone else in the living room looked at him.
Xie Yu's expression was a little hesitant, and his eyes did not meet any of them.
Yu Jingzhong looked at him strangely and asked, "Why is it so difficult to check?"
However, Xie Yu remained silent and glanced at Long Jiu again very quickly.
When the news of the accident in the underwater world was spread to the interstellar network, a video of a real dragon showing up to fight two mosasaurs was also spread. When Xie Yu saw the silver dragon fighting with the two mosasaurs, I knew it was Long Jiu. Even though Long Jiu was at the scene and nothing was found, how could they possibly find it?
Xie Yu had no hope at all that he could find out who was the mastermind of this incident.
Others were still wondering why Xie Yu said that, but Xiao Tingyun and Long Jiu saw his eyes flickering towards Long Jiu, so they understood what Xie Yu meant.
Xiao Tingyun glanced at Xie Yu meaningfully, and then said: "It's one thing not to investigate, but another thing to check or not. This incident is extremely bad, and some tourists have even Innocent people lost their lives at the bottom of the sea, so no matter whether the investigation is easy or not, or whether it can be found out, we must give an explanation to the relatives and families of the victims."
