Chapter 50

"The person in charge of the guard towers along the way has been notified," Barton said with concern, "Sir, is it too early to talk about cooperation with the affiliated planets? The situation of the war is still unclear, and it is not yet time to break with the central star."

Qi Mu picked up his belongings and stuffed the ticket into his front pocket, "It's too early. If we don't unite now, we will only have less time to wait for the Zerg to retreat."

He waved his hand to let the adjutant not worry, "Come on, take care of Zhongxue Xing." , notify immediately if something unusual happens, there is no need to worry about anything else."

Feng Xi walked around from the other side of the hover car to Qi Mu, took away the ticket on his chest, and walked into the dock together.

The route they are about to embark on has a long history in the edge galaxy, because it passes through several cosmic storm areas and is escorted by sentry towers throughout the journey, which also gives the route a safe label.

In edge galaxies where routes are not densely populated, regardless of status, if you want to travel long distances, this route is your first choice. What's even more valuable is that this route extends extremely long and includes almost all wealthy planets.

The self-driving spaceship is too dangerous, and the military fleet cruise is too eye-catching. In order to achieve the purpose of the journey, Qi Mu specially adjusted the person in charge of all sentry towers to absolutely eliminate the possibility of royal personnel hidden among them.

After checking the tickets, the two took the ferry to the spaceship. The hull of this passenger ship was extended and wide, almost the same size as a starship. Rows of escape cabins were suspended in transparent partitions, silently speaking of safety.

Scanning the hull, Feng Xi looked at Qi Mu, who was negotiating with the waiter.

Qi Mu noticed his gaze, briefly bent her eyes and then silently opened her lips: I'll be right over.

Feng Xi nodded, entered the cabin first with the unnamed ticket, picked up the map book placed on the low table and looked at it.

Qi Mu has been quite mysterious these days, checking the news all night, saying that the news is too complicated and there is no need for Feng Xi to read it, but he does not avoid people. With a few glances, Feng Xi could tell what Qi Mu was doing.

Piles of information on marginal planets were listed, and Qi Mu had been checking the autonomy of nearby wealthy planets in recent years.

As the CEO, he knows a lot about the relevant situation, but if he wants to achieve cooperation, he doesn't know enough about it. Except for a few planets with clear sovereignty, the rest are like scattered sand, making it extremely difficult to unite.

They range from agricultural planets and mining planets that are barely enough for residents to live, to colonial planets that have formed a unique ecology, or autonomous planets that have early obtained independent rights. Most of them can connect to the star network, but they are naturally separated from the background of the empire.

The most troublesome thing is that although a large part of the planets are located in the edge galaxies, upon closer inspection, they belong to the private property of some people in the central star field. If it were not for the special wartime policies that required taxes to cover military expenditures, they would also need to colonize The company or the owner behind it is responsible.

All kinds of rules and regulations are superimposed, which makes people have a headache.

After listening to the waiter's complete description of the regulations on the ship, Qi Mu took out the military investigation order and asked, "Are these people coming up?"

There are often people from the military accompanying the ship. The waiter was not surprised and only thought that Qi Mu's mission was Several people on the protection list nodded: "Captain Fande boarded the ship one hour ago, and several other star commanders are also nearby."

After getting the information he wanted, Qi Mu walked into the cabin and quickly captured Feng Xi Yingying said, "It's so troublesome. I can't see anyone on the star network. I have to chase and negotiate here. This job is really done by whoever likes it."

"When can we have a real honeymoon trip?"

They only stayed on the boat for three days. He has enough time to cope with the leaders of four planets, which is indeed quite busy.

Feng Xi tilted his head to look at his expression, and took Qi Mu's fingertips to play with it, "Let me say, although we have a permanent union, under today's law, the term honeymoon can only be derived from a partnership that has been certified through procedures."

Qi Mu laughed when he heard this: "What you said can only arouse my desire to apply for program certification. No, why do you make the marriage so awkward? If I can go on honeymoon, I will get off the ship immediately and find the 'Tower' to authenticate the marriage certificate." Nothing can stop me."

"Think too much, even if you leave a few star leaders, there will still be Zerg waiting for you." Feng Xi let go of Qi Mu's finger and put down the map, "It's just a certificate, if you. If you want, half of it can be authenticated on the Star Network. Apart from biological information and mental domain information, everything can be done. Do you want it? "

But it's a bit troublesome for him to do it. He has to deal with the middle seal part in advance. If Qi If Mu wanted it, he had to prepare in advance.

"Really?" Qi Mu blinked in shock, fearing that Feng Xi was joking, so he made sure again, "Don't talk empty words, I'm serious."

"Why are you lying to me?" Feng Xi didn't understand this man's thinking. Open the terminal to see the final room.

"Of course we are serious. We can certify it now."

"Don't!" Qi Mu's breathing was a little faster, "How can you be so hasty?"

This is probably the final state of their relationship and will last for a long time, but Qi Mu is excited. I was still a little panicked. In short, I just couldn't accept confirming the final relationship on an ordinary to somewhat sloppy afternoon.

"If you still care about these things, forget it." Feng Xi shrugged and walked up the stairs.

Qi Mu took a few steps to catch up, raising his hand to try to understand, "Do you think, if you think about it in the future, you are going to say that you impulsively received the certificate on a day when you can't remember what you did? You are too embarrassed to say it.

" Xi agreed a little, but not much, "But just because I like you can be used as the reason. It's too tiring to attach meaning to attitude."

Although they were debating, Qi Mu restrained the corners of his mouth from raising when he suddenly heard words that were similar to a confession. Impulsively, he stretched out his two fingers and pressed them on both sides of his cheeks, "You speak so nicely, can you say more."

"For example, I like you?" Feng Xi's thumb made a dent on the side of Qi Mu's face, like a dimple, " It’s limited to once a day. I said it today.”

Qi Mu had no resistance. He took out his authentication card and opened the door, turning on the light. “No matter what, based on what you said today, when will I choose the day in the future? Follow me for verification, don't refuse me."

The topic ended when Feng Xi acquiesced. He put down the package and walked around the room.

One ferry ticket corresponds to one bedroom, but Qi Mu replaced the two people's rooms with a larger double bedroom on the grounds of travel safety, leaving only a large bed. The overall conditions looked pretty good, and there was even a room in the bedroom. There is white noise just for the sentinels.

-

After roughly settling in, Qi Mu first met with Captain Fande and successfully reached an agreement. This Star Leader was a warm-hearted man. When he learned that Qi Mu had brought his partner, he kept flattering her, and his enthusiasm was so intense that Qi Mu couldn't resist.

Qi Mu kept the electronic contract and said, "I will meet you if I have the chance. I look forward to cooperating."

When the savior arrived, Qi Mu quickly stood up, fearing that Fan De would catch up and continue the greeting, "My guide has something to ask me for. I'm sorry, I need to leave."

Fande saw the young man waiting at the door and said, "Oh, you guys are as good as the ones spread on the star network. Go quickly, your guide is smiling at you."

Pulling Feng Xi to open the door, Qi Mu let out a sigh of relief . , in order to pretend to be busy, he pulled the person towards the activity room on the fourth floor, "This person is really scary. No wonder Nan Yixing has the highest happiness index among the edge stars. He can talk non-stop about anything he encounters."

Feng Xi was originally wandering on the boat when he was called over by Qi Mu's message. He analyzed a few words about Fande's performance. He talked about the abnormality he just saw, "There were a group of mercenaries in the activity room, surrounding the game console. I vaguely heard them. Talking about the experimental subject, the central star was also mentioned, unlike ordinary passengers. "

Go and have a look." After listening to it for a few times, the two of them merged into the crowd.

This ship is not only covered by the star network, it is even equipped with an anonymous simulation cabin for passengers to play at will. However, the purpose of the two of them is not to play and have fun. They took two turns at will. Qi Mu relied on his superb gaming skills to quickly After a heated exchange with this group of people, he and Feng Xi looked at each other, and the latter spoke first, "The maps of the alien planet are simple. Is there anything more interesting on the ship?"

The person being asked was stunned for a while, and he His companions secretly winked at him and glanced around, obviously too wary, "I don't know, the scenery of several planets he passed was quite special. As for the others, what could be more fun than the alien game?"

Feng Xishun He glanced at his companion, exchanged glances with Qi Mu, and searched in the direction they subconsciously looked.

But until dinner time, they didn't see anything unusual. Qi Mu was a little discouraged, but still managed to cheer up, "Forget it, it must not be so easy to find, otherwise the search by the military department should have revealed clues, not to mention Human body trading is so conspicuous, how can you get anything out of just asking anyone?"

Feng Xi hummed and lowered his eyes to look at the steak on the plate.

He raised the knife and fork, holding the handle tightly with his slender fingers. His wrist bones were faintly visible under his sleeves. The blade moved back and forth, outlining the smooth lines of his wrist.

Then, he placed the cut pieces of meat on the Qimu plate. The tip of the knife collided with the porcelain plate, making a crisp trembling sound. Feng Xi gestured to the sentry who was in a daze again for some reason, "What is the table to my right saying?" ?"

He could feel their cautious glances, and after meeting his gaze for a moment, they turned their heads to talk rather guiltily.

Qi Mu stuffed the food into his mouth as usual, and leaned over Feng Xi's ear, "He was talking about the sudden harsh policies of the edge galaxy, like people who want to smuggle into the central galaxy."

"The mercenary team..." Qi Mu continued Carefully capturing the news, "They want to take this ship to find their captain? No other purpose was mentioned."

Being so cautious, the suspicion in Feng Xi's heart became more and more intense. His eyes followed the group of people as they left. He took out a tissue and lit it . A voice floated out from the corner of Qi Mu's lips: "Follow me and see where they are going."

Qi Mu had no doubt about Feng Xi's intuition. Without saying a word, he stood up, took Feng Xi's arm, and walked towards the room naturally.

The group in front did not stop when they reached the accommodation on the top floor. Instead, they took the escalator down.

Qi Mu took advantage of the last chance to squeeze into the elevator. A few seconds later, he looked at the floor button and sent a message to Feng Xi on the terminal: "Come to the bottom floor."

Feng Xi turned around and looked at Fande, who was watching stunned. Politely enter the other stopped elevator.

"Are you guys quarreling?" Fande endured it again and again. He had just come into contact with Qi Mu and knew him fairly well, but when he saw Qi Mu suddenly abandoning his partner and squeezing into the crowded escalator, he looked like... It was time to part ways. In order to see the excitement, he laughed twice and said, "I didn't expect the general to be such a temperamental person in private? Why don't you try to coax him?"

Feng Xi understood Fande's feelings personally. If you talk too much, you should explain, "Sometimes I can't figure out what the general is going to do."

In short, it can't be revealed that they are tracking the suspect.

Fande gave an I understand expression, "He is usually really strict in meetings, but I thought that Zhongxue Star would not have any thoughts of breaking away from the empire. After all, they are very close to the central galaxy, so there is no need to help. Helping planets like us who are on the front line of foreign invasion? From this point of view, Admiral Qi has courage that others do not have, and it is normal to have different ideas."

Feng Xi could only continue to exchange a few words with Fande, paying attention to Qi from the corner of his eye. Mu messages on the terminal.

Qi Mu: I'm following you. There's a party here, it seems to be specially held for them. They are all mercenaries. I'll go in first because I'm afraid I'll lose you. Just watch my signal later.

"Are you waiting for news?" Fande clicked his tongue in surprise, "Look at General Qi, does he look like he would take the initiative to submit to someone who is weak? Sometimes, maintaining a relationship requires both parties to work together, but if one party does not take the initiative , then the other party should be more proactive? If you want to save it, you have to take the initiative to send a message." When he got the chance to see the above board terminal, Feng Xi nodded, "Yes, I will try sending a message first

."

Now that you are talking, you have to wait for me for a while. Don't be impulsive. Whatever you want to do, remember that the people from the military department are around and can order the spacecraft to stop for questioning at any time.

Qi Mu: Got it.

Fande: "That's right. Look, did you get a reply from Admiral Qi? Go find someone quickly. I will tell the other star leaders what the admiral means. Most planets with autonomous rights will not We want to be driven by the empire, but our resources are almost not enough for the development of our planet, and we have no time to spare to supply the central star."

Feng Xi: "Thank you."

Finally getting rid of Fande, Feng Xi stepped out of the elevator and shouted towards Qi Mu. Position and rush over.

The lights suddenly flickered on and off unnaturally. He stopped in front of a dark door and pushed it open.

There was no sound inside. He walked forward along the darkness, feeling sticky under his feet. Scarlet blood stains could be seen under the weak light. At that moment, the moaning in the background became louder, and he remembered that he could use his spiritual link to sense it. , although there is no reinforced link and cannot convey much information, it can still be done by following the thread to find people.

He walked around the groaning mercenary on the ground and stood in front of the sentry. He raised his hand to explore, and his fingertips first touched the warm side of Qi Mu's face.

The man was awake, his breathing was up and down normally, and there was no smell of blood on his body. With Qi Mu's eyesight, he should have been able to see him walking in. Feng Xi was confused, "...What did they do, attack you?"

Qi Mu raised his arms . Suddenly he put his arm around Feng Xi's waist, and Feng Xi realized that this man was actually shaking.

"What's wrong? It's okay now."

A nasal voice sounded, "Their leader seems to be my father?"

"There are many children locked behind the secret door."
