Chapter 2260 The "Gift" Before the Decisive Battle!

Li Yao took a deep breath, took two steps forward, put his hands on the table, looked at Lei Chenghu through the cold metal desk, and said word by word: "I don't want to see the people in the center of the star sea burnt, and I don't want to see it." Facing a human civilization that is fragmented and on the verge of collapse, I cannot tolerate the flesh and blood puppets of the Covenant Alliance who have no emotions and desires and free will sweeping the entire universe, so that my compatriots, descendants, and grandchildren must treat the Pangu clan or any kind of cosmic gods and demons. Bow down, kneel three times and kowtow nine times!

"If Her Highness the Queen can prevent all this from happening, I will stand unswervingly on her side and do my best to support her.

"Assuming that Her Highness the Queen can't stop all of this, and even bring a great disaster to the center of the Star Sea, then whoever can stop her, and whoever can end all chaos, I will stand on the side of whoever can.

"In the final analysis, I am not loyal to Her Royal Highness or the Empire, but to human civilization itself!

"General Lei, are you satisfied with this answer?"

Lei Chenghu stared at Li Yao's faintly shining golden eyes for a while, then nodded and said, "I see, it seems that you are indeed different from Her Highness the Queen, which makes me very curious, what exactly are you?" Origin, how did Her Highness the Empress cultivate such an eclectic, ingenious, and unique existence like you?"

Li Yao smiled, but did not answer, but changed the subject and said, "General Lei, how likely do you think Her Highness is to 'gamble too much'? No matter how ambitious she is, how much she desires supreme power, she is not Maybe it is an enemy of the entire star sea? Let alone whether she can devour the four major elector families by herself, just say that the main fleet of the Holy Alliance is still watching in the dark. She will be stupid and crazy to this extent, look Less than that?

"Wouldn't it be the biggest joke if we worked so hard to usurp the supreme power of the empire and end up being profited by the Holy League?"

"I don't know where the Queen's self-confidence comes from. Maybe she has more unknown cards, similar to...you."

Lei Chenghu said lightly, "I only know that for a gambler, the chance of 'gambling too much' is 100%. There is no such word as 'take it when you see it' in the dictionary of a gambler. No matter if you lose, the gambler will only bet more and more chips on it again and again until they lose everything, their flesh and soul.

"I myself am such an inextricable gambler. Her Royal Highness has gambled bigger than me. Now that she has tasted the sweetness of putting everything in her hands, will she really stop in time? I...very doubtful."

Li Yao and Lei Chenghu fell silent at the same time, showing thoughtful expressions.

But the thoughts churning in the minds of the two are obviously completely different.

Although the sea of ​​stars is vast, human ambitions are even more vigorous. No matter how many stars and worlds there are, they are destined to be unable to carry them, and they must be overflowing.

At this moment, the battlefield communicator on the metal desk ignited a signal from the flagship of the Deep Sea Fleet, the Dragon Yuan.

The image of the white-haired witch, like a ghost, quietly appeared between the two of them.

"Li Weiwei, thank you for your hard work. Your performance is very good. It really exceeded my expectations. It seems that I have to re-evaluate your role in the entire wave of innovation and your position in the new empire."

Empress Li Linghai smiled meaningfully at Li Yao, then turned to Lei Chenghu, and said with a smile on her face, "General Lei, I have fulfilled my promise to win the full support of the Li family on behalf of the reformers, and I have not let down the bloodshed of you and all the soldiers." Sacrifice?"

"His Royal Highness is exhaustive, so naturally everything is under your control."

Lei Chenghu said calmly, "However, what I'm more curious about is how you persuaded the 'Silver Fox' Li Jiande. If I'm not mistaken, Li Jiande is still in charge of the current Li family, right?"

"It's very simple."

Li Linghai wrote lightly, "I told Li Jiande that the entire reformist faction, you and Thunder Fleet, have all been used by me. The Li family can completely use the Reformist faction, General Lei, and Thunder Fleet as knives to stab the Dongfang family and let the reformists Both the Pai and the Dongfang family will suffer, and the Li family can reap the benefits and rise up.

"Li Jiande, an old fox, has survived for a hundred years. What is the reason? Doesn't he want to see the day when the Dongfang family declines? How can he not be tempted?

"Besides, we have such a big thorn in the middle of the Li family's confidantes, and we can open up the Li family with a single word of disagreement. It is clear that it is a situation where both jade and stone will be destroyed. How will he choose in the end? ?”

"Sounds very reasonable."

Lei Chenghu said, "Then how do we know that these are just rhetoric, not your real thoughts, and you are deceiving Li Jiande on behalf of the reformers, not on behalf of the Li family using the reformers?"

"Of course I am using you. Isn't General Lei also using me? We all share common interests and use each other to achieve the same goal. Isn't it the most stable and reliable relationship, more reliable than any blood, family or giri ?”

Li Linghai said it as a matter of course, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, General Lei and Bodyguard Li, I sincerely believe in the concept of 'renovating the empire', and vowed to wipe out all corrupt forces and systems.

"I don't have the slightest nostalgia for the Li family, and I don't have any interest. The reason is very simple. With such advanced technology and civilization, the number of low-level immortal cultivators is increasing, and Zhizhi is becoming more and more enlightened no matter how suppressed. The Hou family's "domestic family" ruling method, which is similar to feudal kingship, is too backward, too simple, and too fragile.

"This way of ruling the world with one person and one surname, even in the ancient Xiu era, often couldn't completely rule even a single planet, let alone now, each family has to rule over a dozen or dozens of Great Thousand Worlds. To suppress more than 99% of the heroes and reckless dragons and snakes with the blood of the family who only accounts for a fraction of the total population, how can such a rule last long, and how can it be stable?

"From this point of view, even the current system of the empire is much more advanced than the internal system of the four major elector families. Anyway, the empire has the Senate, and the interests of all parties must be balanced in the Senate. The decline of imperial power has also led to chaos. With the rise of the surname, many people can make some voices more or less, and there is a narrow and rugged road to the sky that can be seen brightly.

"And in the territories of the four major elector families, as long as the surnames are not Li, Yun, or Dongfang, they will never make it to the top. As for the many strife, fights, and stinky rules within the family, there are as many as a cow's hair.

"Such a ten-thousand-year-old corpse-like system severely restricts the fighting power and creativity of everyone in the territory. How can it lead the empire to the future? Crushed and shoveled mercilessly.

"My ambition is so big that the entire empire and the entire sea of ​​stars may not be able to hold it. How can I bind my destiny with such a family that is bound to decline and perish?"

Lei Chenghu and Li Yao looked at each other, pondered for a moment and said: "Okay, of course I am willing to trust and support Her Highness, and cooperate with the Li family for the time being.

"Now that we have the full support of the Li family, what should we do next? We can't mobilize the direct descendants of the Li family to start a full-scale war with the elite of the Dongfang family, right?"

"Of course that's impossible. Li Jiande would never agree to such a simple and crude method. We are innovating, not civil war."

Li Linghai said confidently, "General Lei, please rest assured that I will definitely have a measure in this matter. Our goal is very clear, 'only kill the culprit and leave the rest alone'. Destroy the Dongfangwang cabinet!"

Lei Chenghu shook his head and said: "Dongfangwang has been the prime minister of the empire for twenty years, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world. No matter in the imperial capital or in many powerful heavy industrial worlds, there are inextricably linked and intertwined relationships. With the prestige of a complete victory and the title of "Iron-Blooded Prime Minister", how could it be possible for Dongfang Wang to step down for no reason, and even defeat his entire cabinet?"

Li Linghai said: "If the other three families oppose the Dongfang family together, it is possible."

Lei Chenghu said coldly: "Aside from the Li family, the other two electors are also treacherous, cunning, and delicate people. How can they be willing to tear themselves apart and become an enemy of the Dongfang family?"

Li Linghai said with a smile: "If we have a way to ruin Dongfangwang's reputation, the Dongfang family will be accused by thousands of people, reaching the point where 'everyone in the country can be killed', and even powerful people within the Dongfang family will rise up to oppose Dongfang Wang, these 'crazy and cunning' I am afraid that the generation of Qiqiaolinglong will also tear off the mask of hypocrisy and reveal the true face of 'ruthless, vicious, and greedy', and come to make trouble, and take a share from Dongfang Wang."

Lei Chenghu's eyes flashed: "How can Dongfang Wang be ruined?"

"Blood Alliance event."

Li Linghai said, "Everything started because of it, and naturally it also comes down to this incident. This conspiracy was 100% created by Dongfang Wang. If his crimes can be completely exposed, the world will know that Dongfang Wang planned to assassinate him." A patriarch of the Dongfang family, then, no matter whether he is inside or outside the family, he is doomed!"

Lei Chenghu couldn't help laughing: "Even if the incident of the Blood Union was really planned by Dongfangwang, with his wisdom and scheming, would there be any clues left for us to catch?"

"If you don't have a handle, you can create it yourself. Anyway, this matter is absolutely inseparable from him, and it is not wronged him."

Li Linghai said, "Of course, this is a deadly move that seals the throat with one sword. There is no 100% success rate, and it must not be used lightly. Before the truth of the 'Blood Alliance Incident' is revealed, I have prepared a lot for the Dongfang family." 'Cannonballs', now with the support of the Li family, the media and the Internet in the entire empire are no longer an obstacle, these cannonballs can be fired one by one, blowing the Dongfang family into a dizzy state, and there is no time for him to care.

"General Lei, Guard Li, get ready, we can return to the imperial capital in a dignified manner, and start a decisive battle."

Both Li Yao and Lei Chenghu were slightly taken aback: "So fast?"

"Hurry up, but I am so anxious that I am about to return home."

Li Linghai grinned, with white hair flying all over his head, he looked like a vengeful female ghost, "What's more, I left a small gift for the Senate and the Prime Minister in the imperial capital, and it seems...it should be served It's gone!"
