1239: Casting stones to ask for directions.
"Do you think this level is difficult?" Li Lanfeng's expression was so solemn that even Ling Lan felt very dangerous, indicating that they were likely to face a desperate situation.
"I don't know. This feeling is very vague. I know it's dangerous, but I don't know where the danger lies." Ling Lan frowned.
"Originally, the future is unpredictable, dangerous, and calculating, and it is impossible to guard against it. All we can do is to make as careful arrangements as possible." Li Lanfeng has nothing to do about this. Their enemies are hidden too deep, even if they collect all the information they can. I've been digging through the information, but I can't find the clue.
"I can only take one step at a time and hope that things are not as bad as I thought." Ling Lan's words were just to comfort Li Lanfeng. She knew very well that with her gift of insight, unless someone deliberately disturbed the secret, nothing could go wrong.
Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng had been watching the development of the situation, but in the following days, all good news came. General Ling Xiao, who had disappeared without a trace, had destroyed several extremely important strategic planets in the sunset.
Ling Lan, Li Lanfeng and others studied General Ling Xiao's attack route together, but couldn't find any pattern. A few days ago, it was in the east of Rigure, but today it appeared in the north of Rigure. Then when everyone was wondering whether he would divert to the west or south, he decided to backtrack and went back to the east.
While Li Lanfeng and others admired the general's unconventional and seamless attack tactics, Ling Lan deeply doubted whether this was the whim of her father. In fact, it had nothing to do with the so-called tactics.
Of course, in order to maintain the glorious image of her father, Ling Lan would not tell her feelings even to death.
The Rimu Emperor's army, which had been tracking Ling Xiao and being fooled here and there, finally became furious after losing their fourth strategically important planet.
"You are a bunch of trash, you were fooled around by Ling Xiao, wasting half of our country's military and financial resources on an endless journey." The emperor fiercely threw the financial report in the Prime Minister's face.
"Yes, we are incompetent." The Prime Minister bowed his head and admitted his mistake sincerely. Indeed, during this period, almost half of the country's troops were searching for the elusive Ling Xiao and his 23rd Army. They originally thought that there would be results soon, but unexpectedly, they Not only did they get nothing, but they also allowed Ling Xiao to successfully attack three times in a row under their noses. Including the three-star lock, it was four times.
One could be said to be a coincidence, as he was caught off guard by the opponent's attack, but after four consecutive failures, the Prime Minister no longer has the face to explain himself.
"I don't need to hear you say you are incompetent. I just want to know what can kill that damn phoenix and turn him into a dead bird that can never die again." The emperor said angrily.
"Please rest assured, His Majesty the Emperor, after a period of arrangement and planning, everything is ready. Ling Xiao will definitely not be able to escape." The Prime Minister suddenly raised his head, with a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes. Ling Xiao committed a crime in the sunset. It’s time to repay those blood debts.
"I hope you will keep your word." The emperor said coldly. Promises again and again, and failures again and again, have made him unable to trust his prime minister like he did at the beginning.
"Your Majesty, if you fail again this time, I, Sato, will personally perform a caesarean section to apologize to Your Majesty." A flash of determination flashed in the Prime Minister's eyes, and he set up a dragnet. If this can still allow Ling Xiao to escape, it will be a shame for him to live. .
When the emperor heard this, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he said after a while: "Then I'll wait for your good news."
The continuous good news caused joy in the Federation. Everyone believed that General Ling Xiao would definitely take Himu into his pocket and return with a great reputation.
However, it is not that there are no other voices in the military headquarters.
It is believed that Ling Xiao abandoned the army and led the 23rd Army alone to attack various places, which is obviously putting the cart before the horse. Some people even suggested that Ling Xiao obviously wanted to gain military exploits for himself and deliberately ignored the other three armies.
Of course, these voices were very small, and as soon as they came up, they were suppressed by Ling Xiao's supporters.
In addition, someone in the military department also proposed that Ling Lan, the commander of the Independent Army, ignored the order from above and transferred out of the Nebula Base privately. This violated military discipline and required him to be recalled for trial. However, he was unexpectedly given a cold reception by the military department. Many forces secretly intervened to protect the military. The Ministry immediately issued a new order allowing Ling Lan to mobilize the Nebula Base, making everyone in Ling Tian think that their boss had safely passed the disciplinary breach.
Only Ling Lan, who was in the Nebula Base, after receiving this order, her originally cold face became even colder, and Li Lanfeng also frowned.
Ling Lan closed her eyes and thought deeply, her frown never loosening.
Suddenly she opened her eyes and asked, "Are you sure the Li family hasn't moved?"
Li Lanfeng nodded solemnly: "According to the feedback information, the Li family should not have moved. Even if they did move, they would only click to the end without using any force."
"My men moved, but they were quickly suppressed." Ling Lan's eyes flashed coldly, "It seems that many people don't want me to go back."
Originally, the person who suggested that Ling Lan violated discipline was not the enemies of the Ling family and his son, but Ling Lan herself. She used this to test the waters, but the result was that the situation was very bad.
"The Li family has not placed all its treasures on you." This plan of asking for advice was agreed upon by her and Li Lanfeng. In order to enhance the effect, Li Lanfeng also took the initiative to contact the head of the Li family to ask for full cooperation from the Li family's forces in the military. Now it seems that the Li family does not agree with Li Lanfeng's decision and has their own plans.
"Our Li family has always put interests first, so it's not surprising to do this. Maybe they think that we are more beneficial to the Li family on the Rimu front line." Li Lanfeng's face was cold, and there was an obvious sarcasm on the corner of his mouth.
He didn't have much affection for Li Lanfeng of the Li family. If the Li family was obedient and did as he said, maybe he would still care about the blood relationship and tolerate the Li family a little. Now... wait until he and Ling Lan pass this test, and then take it easy.
"I feel that the conspiracy against our father and son is right in front of us, but unfortunately, I can't find any clues." Ling Lan hated this passive mood of being unable to control the situation.
"No matter what the order is, we will stay in Nebula Base and not go out. Even if there is danger, we can still have a chance to escape with the performance of Nebula Base's weapons and equipment." Li Lanfeng made up his mind and huddled in the tortoise shell of Nebula Base and would not go out. Although this behavior is very low, it is undeniable that it is the safest and most useful.
"They won't ignore the Nebula Base..." The opponent was too powerful, which made Ling Lan feel frustrated. "When the time comes, there will definitely be a reason that I can't refuse and I have to go out."
