After a rebirth, Qu Tong cried her eyes out; her vast fortune was gone, and she even owed a hundred million in taxes. She was forced to accept a cheap husband her cousin didn't want—who was i...

"good."
Although Qu Tong didn't know why Si Yuting wanted to go back to the capital star instead of the East Territory, he still nodded sensibly.
Qu Tong asked someone to count the people. There were a few who were slightly injured, but none of them were contaminated with toxins, so it was not a big problem.
Because more soldiers would be coming, Qu Tong did not restore the planet's protective shield, and she did not plan to let more people enter the farm.
Soon, Hu Qing and two other fighter planes arrived first.
"Is it over so soon?" Hu Qing was the first to rush down from the fighter plane, and he couldn't believe what he saw.
Every Zerg attack would last two or three days. It had been less than a day, and apart from some Zerg limbs wriggling on the ground due to muscle instinct, there was not a single living Zerg to be seen.
A dozen fully armed soldiers came down from the fighter plane and saluted respectfully in unison: "Madam."
Qu Tong nodded in response, and then explained to Hu Qing in a calm voice: "His Highness said that he was called back to the wormhole."
Qu Tong did not reveal the existence of Sai Pu, she didn't know whether it was considered a military secret.
"What's the situation in the East Territory?" Xuan Ping came over and helped Qu Tong change the subject with just one sentence.
"Not very good. The Zerg is very large, but we have transferred troops from several other legions. It is estimated that it will last for about two days." Hu Qing analyzed seriously.
Hu Qing ordered two fighter planes to patrol the surrounding area, but no trace of the wormhole was found and communications were restored.
"In that case, why don't I ask the tens of thousands of troops from the First Legion's affiliated star not to come?" Hu Qing asked Qu Tong for his opinion.
Qu Tong felt that it was really unnecessary, so he let them go back.
Because the war in the East was tense, the elite warriors of the Sirius Legion had all gone to the front line to fight against the Zerg. Cheng Feng then dispatched a dozen people to come here first, and then transferred troops from nearby places.
The ordinary soldiers of the First Legion are not equipped with such good fighter planes and can only come here by spaceship, so they will arrive much slower.
Loyxing began to deal with some post-war matters.
Burn Zerg corpses, register honor points, apply for planetary subsidies, and count property losses.
Qu Tong's property loss this time was not big, but not small either.
Compared with the losses in the border war, these were just a piece of cake, but these were all paid for by her, the planet's lord herself.
More than half of the energy stones have been used, burning tens of millions every hour.
Also, all the ammunition had been used up, and the fighter planes flown by Hu Qing had also been almost used up. It was not cheap to replenish these highly lethal ammunition.
Fortunately, the Zerg killed by artillery shells can also be recorded on the planet and can be exchanged for some equipment of the planet's defense system through military channels.
There are special discounts for items redeemed with Honor Points through official channels. All in all, she can make a small profit.
Of course, this is based on the assumption that the potions she consumes are calculated based on cost.
Not everyone can drink medicine as if it were water. If you calculate it based on the selling price, it is really not something that ordinary people can accept.
Xu An gave each member of the mercenary team a mental stabilizing potion and told them to register their honor points before leaving.
However, the mercenaries were very active in helping to collect Zerg corpses and resume post-war reconstruction.
The workers on the farm were also very enthusiastic and prepared sumptuous meals for the mercenaries and soldiers every meal.
They stayed on Loy Star until all the people from the First Legion left.
Xu An stared at them.
"Captain Xu, why don't you talk to your sister and ask her to take us in. You see, I have S-level strength, and my team members are all A-level, and only the military advisor is B-level. We can be your bodyguards when we do business in the future." A middle-aged man with a big beard looked at Xu An, who was much thinner than himself, with a flattering look on his face.
As if he was afraid that Xu An would despise him, the bearded man quickly added: "If it doesn't work, we can just let the military advisor fend for himself and we can just stay here."
The military advisor who had just come back from getting close to Xiang Bin and learning about the salary and benefits at the farm: "..."
"We've told the manager that the farm isn't short of staff for now." The military advisor ruthlessly shattered his captain's fantasy.
"Huh? You actually want to steal our jobs?" The bespectacled boy, who was tasting the green dates his brother gave him, jumped up and down when he heard this. "Brother Xu An, they have bad intentions. You can't be fooled."
Before, everyone was arm in arm and calling each other brothers, but now when I look at them, I feel that their eyes are not eyes and their noses are not noses.
His younger brother works here, so he can eat a lot of high-quality energy fruits.
There is only one good job for each person, and we can't let those who come later take advantage of it.
"No, no, no, I'm not here to steal your job. I'm here to join you." The bearded man smiled flatteringly, but his thick beard moved along with his lips, which was a bit funny.
Knowing that he had no chance of working on the farm, the bearded man changed his mind: "It's okay if we don't follow the young lady. We can follow Captain Xu. From now on, our mercenary group will be incorporated into your team, Captain Xu."
Xu An refused. He just happened to have dealt with the Bearded Man's team before, and he just offered them some benefits and asked them to come and help.
Qu Tong felt that Xu An was too serious.
Xu An wanted to cultivate teammates like confidants, but there was no need.
It is normal for people to have desires. If you change your mindset, it will be much easier to achieve your goals.
So Qu Tong decided to allow them to stay on Loy Star for a few more days, but they were definitely not allowed to enter the isolation bubble.
Since Xu An was back, he was not in a hurry to take on any more missions and helped Qu Tong take care of things on Roy Star.
By the way, I also asked Xuanping, Tang Shigui and others for advice.
The bearded man and his friends quickly became friends with Xu An and his friends, and practiced military boxing with Tang Shigui.
Qu Tong has been following the war.
The Zerg in the southeastern border retreated, and there was a sense of joy on the Internet.
Because maintaining a wormhole consumes a lot of energy, a large worm tide means that no Zerg will emerge from the wormhole for at least the next year.
However, the atmosphere on the capital star is not very good.
Yuelan Bay is heavily guarded, and the royal guards and soldiers of the Sirius Legion are guarding it tightly inside and outside, so that not even a fly can fly in.
The underground medical room is connected to the control room. Butler Chi paced back and forth at the door, as if the ground was about to spark.
The not-so-small medical room was packed with people, making it seem a bit crowded.
The atmosphere on the scene was more solemn than the peace talks between the two countries. The instruments were beeping with alarms, and each sound seemed to strike at people's hearts, bringing about a terrifying tremor.
Everyone had an anxious look on their face, but they felt helpless and could do nothing but stare at the surveillance screen.
The dignified and elegant Queen was biting her lips silently, her eyes a little red, and Bai Shuixin was accompanying her.
"Beep, beep, beep~" Si Chen's light brain vibrated.
Si Chen picked up the call in public, and the secretary-general's equally anxious voice sounded on the other end: "Your Majesty, you are still needed to preside over the meeting of the National Assembly. Everyone is here."
