An invisible battleship floats in the universe, emitting a mysterious light, but no one can see it.
General Jiang came to the control room of the space battleship, where the people inside were busy.
"How about it, haven't found a way to contact you yet?"
"Not yet. It's not easy to find a safe and reliable communication channel in the alien signal network, but we have captured some information." Zhang Hong replied.
"What message?"
Zhang Hong translated the captured information into text for the general to see.
"That's it."
Jiang Weihua took a quick look and his expression gradually became serious. "Sure enough, the thing I was worried about happened."
"What are you worried about?" A voice came over, and Gao Han appeared at the door of the control room. His figure was against the light, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
"In order to fight in the upcoming war, the empire will most likely seek help from certain illegal forces. These forces will certainly make unreasonable demands, and in this way, the empire will fall into their trap," Jiang Weihua explained.
"General, are you referring to the underground black market and pirates?" Gao Han hit the nail on the head.
Jiang Weihua was surprised for a moment. He thought Gao Han might not know this because some of their behaviors seemed a little out of tune with this world.
"Yes." But he didn't think much about it and admitted it straightforwardly.
"These forces rarely have the sense of honor to live and die with the empire. They only think about what benefits they can get. If we agree to their will, the empire will surely fall into chaos in the future."
Jiang Weihua handed Zhang Hong the text message he intercepted.
"This was just intercepted by Zhang Hong. A group of pirates seemed to be preparing to cooperate with aliens."
"Aliens look down on humans, will they really cooperate with pirates?" Based on Gao Han's understanding of aliens, even if the aliens really agree, they may not be serious, and most of them may have the intention of taking advantage of them.
"Of course not. Aliens are capable of killing the donkey after it has done its job. But I don't know if these pirates have other plans."
"Well, what is General Jiang going to do? Tell this to the King of the Nitin Empire?"
Jiang Weihua was silent for a moment, "I'm afraid it's too late now."
Gao Han suddenly laughed. "General, what are you worried about? The pirates went back on their words, but can't the Empire go back on its words? In my opinion, your worries are unnecessary."
"As long as your fists are strong enough, why should you be afraid that these evil forces will not surrender? When they see your powerful strength, even if you don't say anything, they won't dare to mention it again. These people are smart people. They know how to weigh the pros and cons and get the greatest benefits for themselves."
Jiang Weihua and Zhang Hong looked at him. This man could see things so clearly. Although his thinking was somewhat like that of a bandit, it was undeniable that it was indeed very effective.
Will they lose strength to the underground black market and pirates now? I’m afraid not.
"In short, relax. As long as the war is not over, everything is possible. If there is no way out, then create one yourself."
Gao Han left after he finished speaking, as if he had only come to clear up the confusion of the two people.
"Without absolute strength, how can we create a way out?" Zhang Hong sighed.
"Then let's become stronger. He's right." Jiang Weihua was somewhat touched. "It's our luck to meet them. If I didn't already have someone to be loyal to, I would be willing to follow them."
"General, is it that exaggerated?" Zhang Hong was shocked.
Jiang Weihua said with a smile: "Why not? If it were someone else, would they help us unconditionally like them?"
Zhang Hong thought of the other immortal cultivators the general had mentioned. Compared to those people, the two heroes were truly generous and admirable.
"The general has foresight and I admire him." He remembered that the general had promised to give them an army of 10,000 people, so he gave it to them.
"It's not that I have foresight, but I also need to be responsible for my soldiers." From the first moment he saw them, Jiang Weihua could tell that they were extraordinary.
Zhang Hong hesitated for a moment, "General, aren't you afraid that they have some plans?"
Although he was in awe of Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou's strength, the fact that two powerful men suddenly descended from the sky and rescued them unconditionally was suspicious no matter how he looked at it.
Jiang Weihua smiled and asked without accusation: "What if they really have intentions that are harmful to us?"
Zhang Hong was speechless. Yes, if they really have a purpose, with their strength, what can they do?
Thinking about Gao Han's ability to devour an entire planet, this is something that aliens in the higher-dimensional universe cannot do.
"Conspiracies and intrigues originate from weakness." Jiang Weihua patted his shoulder gently, "Okay, go and continue looking for the signal channel.
"Yes, General." Zhang Hong threw away all his doubts at this moment.
Outside the control room, after Gao Han left, he just walked through the corridor and saw Zhongli Tingzhou leaning against the corner.
Half of his handsome profile was hidden in the darkness, while the other side was covered with a light shadow, making it look even more textured.
"What do you want to do by suddenly going over and giving a bunch of teachings? This is not the Gao Han I know. He is so nosy."
"Who told you that I was meddling in other people's business? I just suddenly realized that no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Maybe I can change my target." Gao Han narrowed his eyes.
"What's your goal? To conquer these people and make them kneel down and sing 'Conquer' to you?" Zhongli Tingzhou said with a malicious smile.
"That's not necessary. Just worship me in your heart."
Zhongli Tingzhou felt a chill, "You have changed. You were not like this before."
"That's because I didn't know before that the art of controlling people is so important." Gao Han laughed, "Of course, you can take your time, but you may be surpassed by me soon."
Zhongli Tingzhou's mouth twitched slightly, "Do you really have to do this?"
"Why not? I haven't experienced what it feels like to have a higher level of cultivation than you." Gao Han was slightly proud.
Zhongli Tingzhou's back suddenly left the wall, moved closer to him, and blocked him between the wall and his hands.
"Is this kind of posture only seen in idol dramas? Do you think I'm the little girl in an idol drama?" Gao Han raised his eyebrows.
Zhongli Tingzhou looked disgusted, "What little girl? Is there such a cute blue child as you in the world? Don't you want to try my taste? I'll let you try it now."
After saying that, he leaned forward and bit his lips.
Caught off guard, Gao Han's lips were bitten and he tasted a hint of blood.
With a clang.
There was a loud crash.
They both looked over at the same time and saw Gao Chi standing there at some point, rubbing his forehead hard, as if he had hit his head against an iron wall.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to see which is harder, the wall or your own head?" The good atmosphere was interrupted and Zhongli Tingzhou's tone was particularly bad.
Gao Chi smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I didn't mean to peek."
"If you really wanted to peek on purpose, you would be outside the space battleship now, do you believe it?" Zhongli Tingzhou curled the corners of his mouth.
Gao Chi's expression froze. "I believe it. I'll leave right away."
"Get out of here!" Zhongli Tingzhou immediately frowned.
Gao Chi turned and ran away, scared away.
"You scared him, he didn't mean it." Gao Han pushed him away.
Zhongli Tingzhou pulled him and they both took several steps back. Gao Han was held tightly in his arms.
"What's going on?" Gao Han struggled and found that his arms were as hard as iron.
"No, don't you know how much you owe me?"
Gao Han's mouth twitched, "What do you want?"
"Dual cultivation." Zhongli Tingzhou was very straightforward, as if he was afraid that he would refuse. "We haven't reached the battlefield yet, we still have time."
Gao Han thought about it for a moment, afraid that he was about to break through, and this guy panicked, so he became even more clingy than before, "Okay."
"I don't care anyway. You have to agree this time even if you don't want to." Zhongli Tingzhou thought he was going to refuse as usual, and only reacted after he said it in a rogue manner.
A gust of wind blew by, and the two entangled figures in the corridor disappeared in an instant.
In the control room, in the monitoring area, there was a surveillance camera that recorded this scene.
Everyone looked at each other. They had not expected that the two would have that kind of relationship. Of course, it was not a big deal.
It is very common for two men to fall in love.
"These days, the threshold for marrying someone of equal status is so high." Someone muttered.
Zhang Hong was speechless. "Stop grumbling and start working."
While they were still working on finding a safe and reliable signal, in the royal court of Galan Star, people from the royal family and the Black Snake Blood Butterfly forces suddenly disagreed because of different opinions.
Before leaving, the Black Snake's men stepped on the floor of the royal court, leaving holes all over it, and their attitude was extremely arrogant.
Once upon a time, they were all targets of capture by the empire. These people never dared to approach the main star. Now, forced by the situation, these rampant pirates are no longer afraid of the royal army.
"This is too much. These people are not even the leaders of Black Snake and Blood Butterfly, yet they dare to be so arrogant in front of us. If it were in the past, I would have beaten them to death on the spot!" Lu Jingyuan was so angry that he cursed.
"It's a pity that things are different now." Cheng Wen said lightly.
Lu Hongwei sighed: "They dare to do this because they see that we have no way out."
"They can't raise the price at the last minute. We had agreed on the conditions before, but they didn't ask any questions right away and just said the price had increased. They're clearly bullying us!" Lu Jingyuan was so angry that veins were popping out.
"The Black Snake and the Blood Butterfly have decided to take advantage of us. Do you want to agree to it? They only give us three days." The king rubbed his temples with a headache.
"I want to kill them now." Lu Jingyuan said viciously.
Everyone tacitly ignored him.
"Agree to it. If they can go back on their word and raise the price at the last minute, we can also go back on our word and refuse to recognize the agreement then." The king looked calm, as if he was not the ruler of a country whose words were law.
"I think it's okay, but it might anger them and bring disaster to the Nitin Empire." Cheng Wen agreed.
The king immediately looked embarrassed and asked, "So what do you think we should do?"
"The arrogance of thinking oneself capable is not only a sign of confidence and strength, but also an obvious weakness."
The three of them looked at Cheng Wen's calm face and realized that no one should mess with this guy.
