Chapter 55 Cause of Death: Excessive Consumption of Life

In fact, this plump woman has no direct blood relationship with the Chu official.

But... this woman's sister was the wife his second grandfather, who was nearly fifty years old, married after he was promoted to the fourth level.

The Chu official had no way of refutation and could only say solemnly, "This is a military base during wartime. No one is allowed to discuss personal relationships while on duty!"

"Hehehe... kids are really stubborn. If you hurt your kidneys, it won't be good for you in the future~"

The woman retorted, hugged the middle-aged man's arm tightly, and said softly with an anxious look, "Yongqing, how long will it take for the military to issue the rescue order?"

"The Southern Xinjiang military will give us the results before midnight." Zhang Yongqing put his arm around her slim waist and comforted her, "Don't worry, she'll be fine."

He turned to look at Xiahou Xuan and questioned, "General Xia, why did you arrange for He Zixin to team up with a fool?

How dare Lin Luo bring her alone and break into the hatching ground of the Luan Bird and Beast Kingdom?

Even that fat bear from Biandu wouldn't dare to be so reckless!"

"Councilor Zhang, please be careful with your words!" Xiahou Xuan said with a somewhat displeased look on his face, "Lin Luo is an honorary major general recognized by the empire. If you are dissatisfied with him, you can talk to him privately after he returns.

Don't use words to defame his reputation in public.

It's a disgrace to the empire!

And... General Xiong Kun doesn't like people calling him Fatty Bear.

The guards are gathering at this moment, please remain quiet!"

"Come back? Oh, do you really think he can come back?" The woman said coldly: "You haven't answered Yongqing's question yet!

Xiao Xin is your subordinate. Isn't everything she does based on your orders? "

"It was Staff Officer He who personally decided to appoint Lin Luo as a member of the team," Xiahou Xuan said, distancing himself from the matter. "Now that something's happened, I feel deeply guilty."

At this moment, he somewhat agreed with Chu Xiong's words. These personal relationships should not exist openly in the Imperial Guard.

But within the federation, "human relations" will still exist.

When everything is calm, these things appear very obscure, but once something unexpected happens, this huge network of relationships can easily be affected.

After all, everyone has their own little thoughts.

Even he himself is not immune to this.

Xiahou Xuan continued, "The imperial army's order has just been issued. Please move to the rear of the formation to avoid a surprise attack from the monsters."

"You'd better pray that He Zixin is okay!" Zhang Yongqing walked away with the worried woman.

Xiahou Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the couple's backs. He really didn't want anything to happen to their safety.

Otherwise, it would be the cabinet and the He family who would be held responsible if the higher-ups came to hold them accountable.

To put it mildly, he will definitely not escape the punishment of being dismissed from his job for a period of time.

To put it more seriously, it is possible that one or two stars will fall off your shoulders.

The Chu official noticed Xiahou Xuan's reaction and smirked, "Oh, even the pillars of our empire have their moments of worry?"

"Get away! When did I ever worry?" Xiahou Xuan sneered, "I'm just afraid of trouble."

After all, where there are people, there is society.

Society is simple, but people are complicated.

He is a military general, not a civil official. If he gets into a lawsuit, he will definitely be the one who suffers.

Xiahou Xuan looked at the giant steel beast in front of the army and frowned, "I've waited for three days just for these dozens of iron lumps.

These magic puppets are the products developed by your Nanjiang Chu family, right?"

'You're asking even though you know the answer!'

Chu Li narrowed his eyes and said proudly, "Of course, it is also thanks to the alchemists and rune masters of the Magic Academy.

Without their efforts, these steel behemoths would exist only in fantasy."

Xiahou Xuan ignored the boastful Chu official and casually recalled:

"I heard that the Su Group spent a lot of money to poach more than ten of your researchers a few days ago. Do you have enough people in your magic laboratory now?"

"Tsk... our Southern Border mages are much luckier than you Central Plains mages." Chu Li said with a forced smile, pretending to be relaxed: "There are a lot of mages with rune magic, alchemy, and formation skills!

Do you still care about those bastards from the Su family poaching your people?

Who are you looking down on? "

Chu Li's voice became louder and louder, and finally he even yelled out curses, completely throwing away his usual calm and composed personality.

A female adjutant with shoulder-length hair was suppressing her laughter beside him, her body trembling slightly.

"Fang girl!" Chu Li's face darkened. "What's so funny? Believe it or not, I'll dock your salary!"

"I'm not laughing... It's not funny at all... Haha..." Fang Yueyi realized that she had lost her composure and quickly turned her head away, her shoulders shaking slightly: "Ku Ku..."

Seeing this, Chu Li's eyelids twitched: "Did that kid say something to you again?"

"Uh...yeah." The female adjutant nodded timidly.

The corners of Chu Li's mouth twitched, and he sighed helplessly in his heart, Chu Xiong is such a rip-off!

The secret is revealed again!

He waved his hand and said impatiently, "You don't have to come to work for me anymore."

"ah!?"

"You go be that boy's adjutant!"

"Great!" Fang Yueyi cheered, quickly placed the documents in her hand on the folding table beside her, and hurriedly ran to the back of the army formation.

Xiahou Xuan stroked the spear in his hand and glanced at Chu Li: "Second Chu, come in and take a walk with me."

"Don't mention those three words to me!"

Chu Li said angrily, "It's just that your graduation score is one place higher than mine, don't dwell on it!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Let's not talk about it. Oh, I don't know who lost to me seven out of ten times during the guards' exercise competition, and still called it humility?"

When Chu Li heard this, veins bulged on his forehead and a huge chessboard immediately appeared behind him, covering the sky above the army.

"Huh?" Xiahou Xuan said in amazement, "After breaking through the fifth level, your innate skills have changed. The blue skill has transformed into purple?

But like you, they are all pretentious and flashy."

"You're a silver spear, wax head, you look good but you're useless!"

"Hey yo...you beardless eunuch @*$..."

The Chu official turned a deaf ear to Xiahou Xuan's scolding and simply hung in the air, shouting, "All guards, listen to my orders!"

"All troops attack!"

…

Behind the army.

Xia Yuyan looked at the space crack quietly, her eyes a little dazed.

'Are they really...dead?'

Although she didn't believe that Lin Luo would be stumped by a small space crack, because in her eyes, he was a man who could create miracles.

But the facts are there.

Three days passed, and the space crack neither disappeared nor anyone came out of it.

My father said that the Su family’s assassination team might have followed in, but the Federation cannot touch the Su Group now.

First, the empire has no solid evidence that the Su family is colluding with the gods from another world.

Secondly, the Su Group’s power is so extensive and complex that it can be considered a behemoth in the Dongzhou region.

During the turbulent period, the empire did not want to cause discord with the Su Group because of a "little person", fearing that it would provoke a backlash from them.

Next to Xia Yuyan, Xu Xiaorou sat on a small stool with lifeless eyes. The Xingling skill in her hand flashed. She subconsciously wanted to grab it, but touched nothing.

Not far away, Xu Shao and Xiong Ba were sitting on the grass under a parasol, each holding an empty porcelain jar in their arms.

Xu Shao took a pen and handed over a piece of paper, saying with some disappointment, "Xiong Ba, are Lin Luo and Chief of Staff He both gone?"

"Who knows... maybe they went to another world for their honeymoon." Xiong Ba took the note with a sad face and stuck it on the jar.

Now that the big boss is gone, who will lead them to clear the jungle?

Xu Shao took a quick glance and saw the note saying:

"Emperor Lin Luo's urn. Cause of death: excessive exhaustion of lifespan."
