Nine days later, in the eastern part of the Yingzhou Star Field, in an uninhabited asteroid belt.

A medium-sized traveling ship slowly came to a halt, and as a hatch on the left side of the ship opened, a handsome young man with a scepter in his hand and no protective clothing strolled out of it, hovering on his feet in the infinite universe.

After he stood still, he first glanced coldly at a nearby asteroid, and then raised his hand to investigate. And in an instant, an asteroid with a diameter of more than 370 kilometers in front of this person suddenly shattered and disintegrated. Inside, too, a small escape ship was revealed.

"Your Highness?"

Ruolin, who fell into a deep sleep in the escape ship, was immediately awakened by this movement. And in the next moment, the figure of the young man had appeared directly in the cabin of the escape ship.

This glanced at Ruolin, who was struggling to stand up, and Ruoshui, who was lying in the only sanitary cabin next to him, still in a coma, and then smiled sarcastically: "It's really embarrassing, Ruolin." Luckily, you didn't send your head back to me,"

Ruolin blushed and knelt down in front of the young man.

"Your Highness, it is the incompetence of your subordinates that has disappointed you. This time, not only did I fail to achieve my goal, but I buried your Blacksail Praetorian Guard, as well as the seven mech brigades of the Knights of X-"

"Alright! Calsas's strategy is something I agree with, and you don't have much responsibility in that. Launching an attack on the eastern border of Yingzhou is a risk that must be taken. But it seems that I underestimated my opponent, a talented general like Cheryl Weilun is rare to see in a hundred years,"

When the handsome young man said this, he couldn't help but mutter: "What shit, the imperial brother obviously said before that he would do everything possible to recruit the white knight." ”

"Your Highness—"

Ruolin was even more ashamed: "I'm sorry, I let all your plans and all your hard work be burned in the First World War." ”

"It's not everything, it's just a place in Yingzhou,"

The handsome young man shook his head: "These Black Sail Praetorian Guards, if you don't have them, you won't have them, at most they will withdraw from the succession sequence of the throne - I'm not interested in this in the first place." What a wonderful thing it is to sleep in a palace without people, why do you have to work so hard? My brothers and sisters must be relieved at this time? It's actually a good thing, isn't it?"

He said this with a self-deprecating expression, and then looked at the boundless void in the distance: "What happened is irreparable, no matter how much we regret it, it will not help, so you don't have to be sad, Ruolin! These days, you have to take care of your injuries, and then accompany me to the Phoenix Star for a trip." ”

"To Phoenix Star?"

Ruolin was obviously taken aback: "Your Highness means that you are planning to do it yourself? But there are still injuries on your body-"

"That's no way around it!"

The handsome young man smiled bitterly, and his voice was cold: "It's one thing to withdraw from the competition for the throne, and it's another thing to withdraw from the task assigned by my father. The problems that should be solved by us have to be solved by ourselves. So do your best to heal your wounds, Ruolin. I have a hunch that our trip to the Phoenix Star will not be so easy. The strong people around Zhang Changzhi are likely to be more than we expected, and I am alone, but I can't deal with them all. ”

Ruolin didn't say a word, but bowed her head deeply in shame. She hated herself deeply, and thought that it was her own stupid decisions that caused her lord to fall into this field.

- It's okay to lose to others, but in the hands of Zhang Changzhi, a useless waste, there is nothing left to lose, which is really incompetent to the extreme.

※※※※

In the early hours of the morning, in the presidential suite on the top floor of the Hinterer Hotel, Zhang Xin lay on the sofa with a tired look after seeing off the last guest.

In the past nine days since he arrived at Phoenix Star, he has been so busy that his feet do not touch the ground.

- Charity galas, attending charity events, meeting with government officials, senators and representatives, etc., I can't stop for a moment.

Even every night, he couldn't find any time to rest, just because this was the exclusive time of local dignitaries in the Yingzhou Star Domain.

For example, just now, he sent away a federal congressman named Vedan.

——— according to the regulations of the Earth Federation, the number of members of the Federal Senate is two for each administrative star field and one for the colonial star field, and the number of members of the House of Representatives is distributed according to the proportion of the population of each star field, and the base number is one billion people.

Today's Earth Federation has a total of 128 administrative star fields, as well as 27 colonial star fields, with a total of 283 senators.

As for the number of members of the House of Representatives, there are 930 deputies because the population registered in the Federation and has full political rights is 930 billion.

As a medium-sized star field with 220 administrative stars, Yingzhou Star Domain currently has a total population of 10.9 billion and a total of 11 House members.

Therefore, in terms of his status in the political arena, this Councilor Wei is already prominent.

And if this person is still the head of the local party group of the Popular Front in the House of Representatives, then special treatment is even more needed.

What's more, this Councilor Wei did not hesitate to rush back to his hometown from the mother planet of the earth in order to meet Zhang Xin, and it is absolutely unreasonable for Zhang Xin not to take the time to meet with him. Otherwise, it will be a humiliating incident that will be known throughout the political arena.

Fortunately, this person is quite understanding and very intelligent, and the two sides have a very happy conversation, and many things have been negotiated in a few words. After that, it was all small talk, and Councilor Wei introduced the local customs and customs of Yingzhou, as well as various local forces, etc., which gave Zhang Xin a deeper understanding of the situation in Yingzhou and made him relax for a few hours.

- This seems to be a waste of time, but it is a gesture that must be put on. Otherwise, how can he show outsiders and the media that he and MP Wei had a very happy conversation and attached great importance to each other?

However, after sending Wei Dan away, Zhang Xin looked at the schedule given by Cao Yue, but he rubbed his forehead with a bitter face.

"How long will this end?"

Zhang Xin felt that there was absolutely no problem with his body. But the problem is that his spirit will most likely be overwhelmed.

Even a god-level battle will not make him tired like this.

"This is also something that can't be helped, Brother Changzhi, your support is very important for their re-election. And not just because of the philanthropic money and campaign sponsorships you provide—"

Lin Dan, who was not far away, said while flipping through the webpage in front of a high-definition projector: "In the past few days, I have nothing to do with all the news and local forums in Yingzhou, and I found that the prestige of Brother Changzhi and the Weiyan Group in Yingzhou is surprisingly high. Many people are extremely disappointed with the government and military, but they see you as a savior, believing that without your timely intervention in Yingzhou, they will not be able to extricate themselves from the predicament. A recent survey found that all the politicians you publicly support are far ahead of their opponents in the polls. In this case, how could these politicians not be attracted to you? I bet that in just 10 minutes, the photograph of you greeting Congressman Vedan and personally seeing him off will appear in the major media reports. Any philanthropy, local investment, is just an excuse, sitting here for four hours is his purpose. Hah, it's already there—"
