Gu Hanhan never expected that one day, two years after she ran away from the Acropolis, she would be forced to take up the job of head of chamberlain. This is simply making things difficult for her. Doesn’t she know why she is so mean-mouthed and has such long legs? She wants to go find Major Li to find out what news she has. Isn't it obvious that she can't leave? Why should she, a fool, try to find out? ! If she had the same unlucky job as Mr. Li Shen, who had to close the door and become a mute, could he still grow his own legs and buckle them on her head? Wouldn't it work?
She deserves everything! Doesn't she deserve it? She's a mute! !
But fortunately, Lord Li Shen's unlucky men are very knowledgeable. Whether they are the unlucky men from the seventeenth floor or the sixteenth floor, no matter who they are, they are very self-aware and have not asked to see Lord Li Shen. , and there was no problem that required Gu Hanhan to decide. They had to come to see her only formally, not to meet Lord Li Shen but to meet her, Gu Hanhan.
They will appear at least a dozen steps away from Gu Hanhan, just enough for Gu Hanhan to know their existence and basically see them clearly, while waiting to see if Gu Hanhan has any additional instructions. Gu Hanhan usually didn't have much instructions. Even if she wanted to order a boat to help her escape, they probably wouldn't listen. Gu Hanhan still had this self-awareness. So after this etiquette or possibly ritualized waiting time is over, which is usually about two to three hours, the fleet that has completed the reorganization during this period of time will be reorganized.
As the size of the fleet that gathered became larger and larger, the positions of the commanders who came to meet Gu Hanhan to brush their faces became higher. In just a dozen hours, Gu Hanhan saw the military uniforms and epaulettes of all ranks of the Tang Empire's military fleet, from major to admiral. He could be considered a professional in the Tang Empire's military uniforms at all. Graduated. These imperial soldiers who arrived one after another in military uniforms of different classes, from low-level to high-level, from young and promising to young and powerful, according to their own introductions, were all border defense fleet officers affiliated with the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion. And the last general that Gu Hanhan saw was their chief superior, Governor Lanzhou.
Gu Hanhan originally thought that Mr. Li Shen should come forward to meet the governor this time. After all, a prince and an imperial general with millions of troops could be regarded as the person who rescued them. He would not show off even if he put on airs. That's too much. Acropolis doesn't even do things like this. The main thing is that as long as Mr. Li Shen comes forward, he will finally have the opportunity to step down from his job as temporary head of chamberlain.
But Gu Hanhan realized that he had underestimated Master Li Shen. Regarding Master Li Shen, she always underestimates him and always refreshes her understanding.
At that time, she was so excited that she ran to ask Li Shen: "Governor Lanzhou is here."
This immediately stunned Mr. Li Shen. He hesitated for a while before saying, "I really don't want to meet this person."
He also specially explained to Gu Hanhan: "It was Lanzhou's fleet that found us first. If I see this governor now, it will be harmful to him. It doesn't matter, Mingzhu will take care of him."
At that time, Gu Hanhan had not yet reacted. He was confused by Mr. Li Shen's explanation. He didn't know what it meant. He thought to himself, "Do you like to see your unlucky subordinate? What does it have to do with me?" It was only later that she figured it out. The expression on Mr. Li Shen's face, as if he had been raped, was that she believed that she had accepted a bribe from the governor of Lanzhou, and wanted to buy and sell by force, forcing him to go out to pick up guests.
Gu Hanhan was very dissatisfied and thought, am I just so blinded by money? When I was a mistress and a widow in Acropolis, I had never done anything like selling officials, collecting money and selling tickets - okay, then I may have sold a little bit, but your Lanzhou The Governor didn't bribe me, did he? xx, if you had known earlier? I would have ignored him!
There was no way to make amends after the incident of innocence. When Gu Hanhan heard Li Shen muttering, he decided that the Governor of Lanzhou might not be welcomed by Lord Li Shen, so he was ready to fight. Get rid of this unfortunate old poor man. It's not that my five good girls don't want to help, but it's really that you, Mr. Li Shen, are petty-minded and incapable of understanding. You don't know that pro-democracy is just about putting on airs. Then she was grabbed by the angry and arrogant Mr. Li Shen, who tripped and fell on the bed.
"Don't worry," Master Li Shen came over and said, "We haven't done the healing yet—"
After a pause, he said, "You didn't do it yesterday either."
Yes, since he became Lord Li Shen's chief attendant, Gu Hanhan has been so busy for more than ten hours that he didn't even bother to take care of it! It can be seen that the chief attendant can do this job, right? Can he do it? !
Only then did Gu Hanhan realize, wasn't he? Did he mean to control the pace so that Lord Li Shen could adapt to a life without him?
But Mr. Li Shen was already taking off his clothes, so Gu Hanhan thought to forget it and start tomorrow! The matter of escaping hasn't happened yet, why don't you try to get through it with yourself first? Why don't we wait until we get out of the isolation zone to control it? It's too late! Besides, if I haven't been treated for more than ten hours and two days, does this still count as control? Everything you do must be done step by step, right? Then it is even more necessary to treat illnesses and save people!
A healing process must take an hour or two. Governor Lanzhou, who was so tired that he was left outside by Gu Hanhan, also had to wait for an hour or two. It was not easy to wait for Gu Hanhan. When I think about it, when I rushed back to receive the reception, I felt so guilty for feeling sorry for the poor old Governor - Really? I didn't receive the bribe, and I deliberately exposed you for personal revenge. It's really you, Mr. Li Shen, who is pretending to be deaf. Being dumb doesn't worry you?
The Governor was quite surprised by the "waiting" thing, but Gu Hanhan saw that he was not surprised as if he was being treated unfairly. On the contrary, he was very happy to wait, and even waited for two hours. At that time, I didn't wait for Lord Li Shen to come out and I didn't see him disappointed. Instead, I acted as if I should be so calm. This had to make Gu Hanhan look at him with admiration. This was nothing like the aristocrats of the Acropolis!
The governor came to see Gu Hanhan to inform her of his itinerary. He told Gu Hanhan that the fleet has now entered the ancient space channel of the Ancient Underworld Sea Channel. It can set off immediately after adjusting its course and is expected to arrive in Jiluo in thirty-six hours.
Gu Hanhan didn't listen at all and didn't care at all. Even Mr. Li Shendu has no control over matters such as how the fleet will move and how the army will be deployed. Of course, she, Gu Hanhan, will not be able to care about it. Even if she wants to point fingers at other people's fleets, they won't listen, and she doesn't have the ability to point fingers. She can't even read military star charts well, so she is blind. But she knew the basic directions and coordinates. Gu Hanhan accidentally raised her eyes and saw the so-called "Jiluo" marked on the star map by the adjutant brought by the governor. It was not some border planet in her imagination but a vast black blank universe, even the border. No, looking at the coordinates, it was deeper into the isolation zone, farther than where she and Mr. Li Shen were found!
Gu Hanhan was immediately frightened and broke into a cold sweat. He almost crawled to find Mr. Li Shen and shouted for help.
"No? Are you going to the Lanhe border?!" she asked, "Why are you still going further and further?"
This really stunned the Governor. He was speechless for at least two or three seconds. He probably refreshed his understanding of Gu Hanhan's IQ and political literacy, and then he continued calmly. ?: "'Jiluo' was a very important space jumping point on the Ancient Styx Channel. Although the 'Jiluo' space point has completely disappeared due to the abandonment of the Ancient Styx Channel, it still has a special It has historical significance, so it is used as the ceremonial place for this summer hunt. Although it is outside the border, safety along the way is not a problem. The army has eliminated all hidden dangers in the surrounding star field, and the six squadrons of the Valiant Cavalry Fleet have We will arrive within this time and will be responsible for guarding both wings. We will change the defense after arriving at Jiluo. The marshal has led the entire army to wait here."
Gu Hanhan doesn't care about safety at all, and how much? The fleet is coming to protect Lord Li Shen. Such nonsense! In a place like the isolation zone, where the highest productivity level is no more than a planet, what threat can it pose to the safety of Mr. Li Shen? It's nothing more than arrogance and extravagance to show off his status. But the word "Xia Shou" stirred up Gu Hanhan's sensitive nerves and made her feel that something was unusual.
"Summer hunting?" she asked, "Does it mean hunting? In the usual sense?"
The governor said that he did not know what hunting was in the usual sense, but the imperial palace summer hunt was the most important sacrificial activity in the imperial tradition. It used military expeditions to comfort the heavens and ask for the blessings of the gods and the prosperity of the country. In essence, it is an activity to send warmth to the borders of the empire through war. As long as the borders chosen for Summer Hunting are within the scope defined by Summer Hunting, the empire will accept the land donations from these border countries, formally incorporate the planets and starry skies into the empire's territory, and give the planets and the stars in the stars the status of citizens of the empire. , and regarded it as a gift from the gods.
Is this an invasion? Gu Hanhan thought to himself.
"There will be a declaration of war at the same time, but it is only a political need," the governor said. "The people on the border are all rejoicing and looking forward to the early arrival of summer hunting."
It was the first time in Gu Hanhan's life that someone could describe aggression in such a refreshing and refined way, without any need for shame. She even glanced at the Governor, but his face remained normal and there was no blush at all. Gu Hanhan could only believe that the moon in the Tang Dynasty was round, and people on the border were vying to be imperial dogs.
"But this Jiluo is far beyond the border, right?" she asked.
The governor, still as calm as a dog, replied: "Beyond the territory of the empire are the borders of the empire. There is no difference between near and far. This time we just went a little further. In fact, more than two thousand years ago, , from Lanhe River to Xingji Minghai, they are all the frontiers of the empire, and Jiluo can only be regarded as a relay point. Therefore, this time Xia Shou decided to use the old site of Jiluo Space Station as the ceremony venue, also to remember history and not forget the memory of our ancestors. Ambition. This was already declared when Xia Shou’s edict was promulgated.”
"Does that mean it was already confirmed early..."
Now, Gu Hanhan was convinced that Li Tang must have had special considerations and intentions, and it was definitely not just to protect Li Shen's face and eliminate the political impact of his disappearance. In order to retrieve Li Shen, it makes sense to mobilize the army into the isolation zone. After all, no one in Galaxy can afford to lose the lord. But now that Li Shen has been found, it would be difficult to justify not evacuating immediately.
Instead of using the cover of border hunting as a cover to quietly come and go, they continued to go deeper. The fleet of hundreds of thousands simply carried out a national sacrifice in the hinterland of the isolation zone with great fanfare. This is tantamount to openly irritating the two temples, demonstrating nakedly to them, and it is tantamount to a confrontation with the Acropolis.
But could Li Tang break up with the two temples at the same time, and break up with the Acropolis?
That is obviously not possible.
No? Maybe he has to make a gesture of breaking up again. Why is this? If there is no political intention here, then you are in trouble!
It must be for something.
