This is My Planet

After saying this, Ling Moxue found that Grandpa's energy and spirit had become a little low, as if the face of the head of state who was neither humble nor haughty in front of the gods just now had been taken away.

Because saying this sentence is equivalent to giving up all the previous compositions, all the struggles, and all the political ambitions hidden in my heart that have not been revealed, and I have given up the throne of power by default, and let go of my life's climbing.

This is a very difficult choice.

Especially when you put it down in your mouth and don't give up in your heart.

To put it bluntly, his pursuit of longevity is not necessarily yearning for immortality and exploring the wonders, but a greater proportion is that he is afraid of death when he grows old.

That's all.

Xia Guixuan could clearly tell that he didn't comment on this choice, but comforted him: "All warriors who can make a choice."

Ling Tiannan raised his head and looked into his eyes. Xia Guixuan's eyes were calm, and there was no sign of sarcasm.

Ling Tiannan seemed to be a little more relaxed, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xia doesn't think it's ridiculous that I said so much, was full of calculations, hesitated all my life, and lost the last sentence of longevity?"

"I don't think so." Xia Guixuan said flatly, "Because I am not much better myself... There is no shame in pursuing longevity."

At this point, the atmosphere was quiet for a while, and everyone seemed to have realized one thing: according to this, the progress of the matter can be entirely caused by Ling Tiannan abandoning the country to cultivate immortality and Gongsun Jiu monopolizing power.

Ling Moxue scratched her head.

Originally, grandpa wanted to win the cooperation and support of the master, but in the end, he turned into the master and became Gongsun Jiu's lobbyist invisibly?

Just at this moment, the bell in Ling Tiannan's office rang, Ling Tiannan connected at will, and the secretary's voice came: "Prince, Marshal Gongsun, please see me."

The three of them were all startled, Ling Tiannan looked at Xia Guixuan's expression, smiled and said: "Marshal, please come in."

The door opened, and Gongsun Jiu strode in. From Ling Moxue's perspective, he happened to see him first. I don't know if it was the illusion brought about by the conversation just now, but he always felt like a dragon and a tiger lingering around him.

Then Gongsun Jiu entered the door and saw Xia Guixuan sitting there. It was like a dragon loli and a fat tiger terrified together, and the dragon and tiger ran away with a squeak, and turned into an ordinary thin and straight-eyed man again.

"Uh, you..." Gongsun Jiu calmed down, "Why is Captain Xia here?"

Xia Guixuan laughed: "There is no need to be a captain or not. Mo Xue is one of my own. I am talking to the head of state as the father god of Canglong."

Ling Moxue clearly saw the change in Gongsun Jiu's expression, his handsome eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes were fixed on him, which turned out to be a little sharp.

Ling Moxue wouldn't give him face, she still stared back sharply, her sword aura flying freely.

Ling Tiannan suddenly felt that he was an outsider even though it was his office.

Gongsun Jiu finally picked a sofa and sat down, crossed his hands in front of him, and looked at the floor thoughtfully: "I came here because I wanted to join hands with the head of state again and cooperate sincerely. Since you are here, I don't think I need to say it anymore?"

Xia Guixuan said with a smile: "I haven't had time to talk about Zelt yet, so I'm just chatting."

Gongsun Jiu nodded: "Then let me speak."

She briefly described Zelt's situation, and directly concluded: "The military staff had a meeting all night, and it didn't end until now. I won't mention the details. I'm here to ask for the support of the head of state."

Ling Tiannan frowned slightly.

At this time, the Great Xia really did not intend to go to war. It was just a matter of fact. The political circles of the Great Xia had just passed a five-year development plan. The items and items had been studied for a long time, and it took a lot of effort and long-term research from the national think tank.

Once the war is resumed, this kind of plan will inevitably be seriously affected, and in fact, whether Daxia has enough national power to launch a war at this moment has to be questioned.

The military is not in charge of many things and does not know how to pay for it. Just because of the demographic problem caused by war deaths, the military can't explain why. Isn't this burden still on the politicians?

Xia Guixuan can change resources and make everyone extremely rich, but it has its limits. If he can create a galaxy fleet out of nothing, then he is probably the best. At most, he modified the environment of the leylines and endowed them with aura, but the next thing still needed to be done artificially.

To be honest, Ling Tiannan does not agree with the battle preparation at this time, if there is no Xia Guixuan, this matter may really be a fight or even a fuse for the struggle.

But obviously, this is what Xia Guixuan is going to do...

Ling Tiannan thought for a while, then suddenly said: "If Xiao Xia wasn't here, how would the marshal plan to reach an agreement with me? Righteousness? State your interests?"

Gongsun Jiu laughed: "Civil and martial arts have different paths, and everyone's interests are different. Perhaps the head of state and a large part of the ruling and opposition princes will feel that the first priority is to cultivate their internal strength first and consolidate their foundation. Regardless of the chaos in the Zeert star field, there will be opportunities in the future."

Ling Tiannan nodded: "Not bad."

Gongsun Jiu said lightly: "I understand that many Northern Expeditions in history were stranded like this."

"..."

"Some people want to sympathize with the power of the people. Some people think that expanding the territory is not good for them. It just made me, Gongsun Jiu..." Gongsun Jiu smiled.

Ling Tiannan also laughed: "So what did the Marshal want to say when he came here?"

Gongsun Jiu said indifferently: "Maybe many people think that I will use this battle to further centralize power... Indeed, I was expecting such a result at first. But if you compare the future of Yongding Starfield with my power..."

He paused, and said word by word: "If the head of state supports this matter, Gongsun Jiu will give all the power of checks and balances that the head of state wants after the war, and lock his own right in a cage."

Xia Guixuan smiled slightly, his eyes were gentle.

Ling Moxue looked at Gongsun Jiu in shock.

Ling Tiannan was even more moved.

He put forward the condition of being a traitor and betraying the country, and wanted to get Xia Guixuan's support, isn't this the result!

But there was no need for him to do anything at all, Gongsun Jiu proposed this result on his own initiative... just for the sake of permanent stability of the star field.

The conversation with Xia Guixuan just now flashed through his mind, Ling Tiannan knew why Xia Guixuan trusted Gongsun Jiu's sincerity.

Because that's not a PPT, that's what he's already proven himself.

However, Gongsun Jiu continued: "Actually, after Zeerte was pacified, it would be no problem for Gongsun to disarm and return to the fields. The reason why he was willing to put shackles on himself but still retain military power was nothing more than fearing that he would become Yue Fei."

Ling Tiannan smiled: "I'm not Zhao Gou."

Gongsun Jiu didn't answer, obviously he didn't trust him very much.

But Ling Tiannan pointed at him and smiled: "You come to be Zhao Gou."

Gongsun Jiu: "?"

Ling Tiannan's melancholy feeling of being drained completely disappeared, and he smiled very easy-going: "You don't need to give conditions, because Father God Canglong has already given conditions for you... Marshal can do his own thing with peace of mind, and I, Ling Tiannan, will assist you in the end."

PS: I probably won't add updates for these two days, because I received a notice from the editor yesterday that I have to write an extra submission before February 4th. It's only been two or three days, and it should be about 10,000 words anyway, so I won't add more for now. (The manuscript will be delivered on February 4th, and it is unknown when it will be released)

As for the extra content, tentatively set the past events in the early days of Lao Xia's practice (maybe involving Chang'e), which is actually not bad in the history of the earth, mainly because there is no story... If you have any other ideas, you can also mention them, and I will start writing tonight...
