Warhawks.

Zhang Yuan was pondering. In front of him, the images sent by Xia Xiyan were playing over and over again.

"Crossing the interstellar high-speed channel and assembling the rhodium magnetic engine, the fleet found it in less than 5 hours after being on the scene. It was beaten and not fought back. There were coincidences everywhere. Why did it feel so weird?"

The more he thought about all this, the more he felt that it was incredible.

‘Governor Ye Liuyan, Hayue…is interesting, really interesting.’

'Pa~' Zhang Yuan closed the image and ordered loudly: "Luohua, erase the image record just now, add new ones, and let me see it after it is repaired."

"Yes, Captain." Luohua responded.

Zhang Yuan asked again: "Oh, by the way, you and the main control brain of the Giant Bear Fortress are the same branch. Are there any details of the logical mechanism of the main control brain of the fortress and you?"

"There is no difference. The difference between us is only in the strength of hardware performance."

"Very good." Zhang Yuan smiled.

The warship continued to fly forward. About an hour later, the Giant Bear Fortress appeared in the image of the command cabin. The distance between the two sides was 15 light minutes, and it took about 35 minutes to reach the Fortress Spaceport.

"Drip~" The communication suddenly rang out. After it was connected, Ye Liuyan's holographic image appeared in the command cabin. The image looked at Zhang Yuan with a smile: "Zhang Yuan, the mission was completed well."

"Thank you, Governor." Zhang Yuan stood up and gave a standard imperial military salute to the holographic image.

Ye Liuyan waved her hand and her smile became gentler: "Don't be so restrained, relax, young man."

Zhang Yuan relaxed a little, but still acted very cautiously: "Governor, what orders do you have?"

"There are no orders, I just want to chat with you. Of course, I am not chatting through holographic images on the Internet, but communicating face to face and honestly." Ye Liuyan smiled gently.

Zhang Yuan was stunned and didn't know what Ye Liuyan meant for a moment. To be honest, in the interstellar era, he didn't think there was any big difference between the two.

"Hahaha~" Ye Liuyan covered her red lips and let out a string of silver bells chuckled: "When you arrive at the fortress, there will be a spaceship to pick you up to the Blue Mercury Star. When you arrive there, you will know everything."

After saying that, the holographic image flashed and disappeared.

Zhang Yuan touched his head and asked the main control of the warship: "Luohua, what does the Governor mean?"

"I guess, the Governor should have a private conversation with you. Usually, the Governor will place the address of the conversation in her hot spring villa, and relax together while talking. This is called 'hot spring conversation', and is a long-standing tradition of the Ye family. In the province of Hayue, this is the highest honor."

"Hot spring conversation? Bathing together? Governor Ye is a woman and is still very young. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Zhang Yuan was really stunned.

Luo Hua explained: "This is naturally considered. If the receptionist is a man, the Governor will wear a veil and keep an appropriate distance."

"Oh, I get it."

Ye Liuyan received him with such extremely high-standard etiquette, and was afraid she would show up with him. Her ideas and plans should be explained to him one by one.

"It's good, I want to see what you want to do?"

Thinking of this, Zhang Yuan began to prepare. Since it was a private conversation and he was still in the hot spring, he definitely could not carry weapons.

This was too risky for Zhang Yuan, but fortunately, he was prepared for it.

Yu Linglong, an assassin from Dark Heaven, explained to him various ways to hide weapons. The most commonly used one is to disguise the space folding equipment as body tissues. Yu Linglong swallowed the mecha in her belly. Zhang Yuan felt that although this method was secret, it was too troublesome to use. The space folding equipment he created was a denture brace.

He put the angel in a denture with the same texture as the real teeth, and added various disguises to the real teeth. Even if he opened his mouth and let someone check it, he could not see any abnormalities.

After the work was done, Zhang Yuanxin settled down.

The Trail Blazers advanced all the way, and after more than ten minutes, the warship slowly docked into the space port. After coming out of the space port, a large spacecraft with the red leaf logo was already waiting in front of it. A middle-aged woman in a dark green dress and dignified temperament stood in front of the spacecraft.

When she saw Zhang Yuan, she bent her knees and performed a very complicated etiquette and said, "Sir, I am Ye Mei, the governor's family steward, please come with me."

"Okay." Zhang Yuan seemed a little "tightened" and his movements were even clumsy. When he was walking on the escalator of the spaceship, he staggered and almost fell down.

There were two guards standing at the door of the spacecraft. After seeing Zhang Yuan performing, his body was motionless, but his eyes were looking at him sideways, which clearly revealed the contempt of looking at the country bumpkins.

The butler Ye Mei did not look down on Zhang Yuan at all. When Zhang Yuan was staggering, she suddenly stepped on the air and hurriedly held the handrail with one hand, attracting everyone's attention to her.

She smiled apologetically and said, "I'm so sorry, I didn't walk steadily. Lord Zhang, please walk carefully, the escalator is a bit slippery."

"Thank you." Zhang Yuan looked 'gratitude'.

After entering the spaceship, Zhang Yuan felt his eyes lit up, as if he had entered a spacious palace. The ground was covered with soft red velvet blankets, the walls were decorated with just the right white ivory carvings, and the antique furniture was made of logs with fresh fragrance and teeth white. There were many beautiful flowers in the hanging basket. Zhang Yuan could not even name it. He couldn't help but wonder if he was really a country bumpkin.

At every corner of the boat, there is a dignified and elegant maid. Her appearance and figure are the best choices, and her appearance and style are different. Some are cute, some are cool, and some are gentle. After a glance, people can't bear to move their eyes away.

When we got up with this spaceship, the Nightingale that Zhang Yuan once rode was simply a nouveau riche with a stinking smell.

This time, Zhang Yuan did not need to pretend specifically. As long as he naturally showed his amazement, it was enough to make people sure that he was the young man who had been staying at home since childhood and had never seen the world.

The butler Ye Mei always had a decent smile on her face. Whenever Zhang Yuan's eyes were fixed on something for more than 3 seconds, she would use gentle and pleasant words to explain to Zhang Yuan the origin and use of this thing.

Before we knew it, the spacecraft took off, and the hull could hardly feel any vibration. When the spacecraft accelerated, it could not feel any inertia.

Accompanied by the butler Ye Mei, Zhang Yuan unconsciously removed all his equipment. Under the service of two beautiful and inconspicuous women, he carefully cleaned his body, shaved his stubble, cleaned up his somewhat messy hair, and wore a comfortable and suitable dress.

When the spacecraft landed in the spaceport dedicated to Governor General of Mercury, Zhang Yuan completely changed himself, and changed from a slightly unkempt young man to a noble young man.

This spaceport is inside the Yejia Hot Spring Villa. After landing, the butler Ye Mei led Zhang Yuan to the hot spring pool.

After walking about a hundred meters of road, the road became narrower and the water vapor in the air became thicker. In the end, the road completely disappeared and turned into warm and humid white fine sand. The fog was already thicker and could only see people one meter away.

The butler Ye Mei stopped: "The hot spring pool is right in front, please."

Zhang Yuan walked a few more steps forward, and a natural hot spring pool made of smooth pebbles appeared in front of him. The water in the pool was warm and the water vapor was filled with mist. A maid walked up and took off Zhang Yuan's loose robe.

The maid whispered, "Mr. Zhang, the Governor will be here soon. Please take a shower first."

The environment was very mysterious. Zhang Yuan felt a little nervous. He took a deep breath, walked into the hot spring pool, found a flat pebble to sit down, then looked at his nose, his nose, and his heart, waiting motionlessly.

To outsiders, he looks cautious and cautious.

After about 5 minutes, Zhang Yuan heard the sound of water in his ears. At the same time, the water in the hot spring pool showed ripples. He looked up slightly and saw a figure more than 2 meters away walking into the hot spring pool. From the outline, he was a tall and slim woman with long hair.

"Hehe~" A familiar laughter came from the direction of the figure, and it was Governor Ye Liuyan.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yuan noticed that Ye Liuyan had walked a few steps towards him, and he didn't stop until 1 meter away. She was wrapped in a layer of white gauze as thin as fog. As long as she looked carefully, she could see the details of her body.

Of course, Zhang Yuan didn't dare to look at it anymore. He looked up and lowered his head.

Ye Liuyan sat slowly in the pool water, and a gentle sound of water came. After a while, she suddenly said, "Zhang Yuan, what is your biggest feeling when you go to Xinlan Castle this time?"

"That place is very poor." Zhang Yuan told the truth.

"Yes, it's very poor, the jingle of poverty, and the life of poor people is like grass." Ye Liuyan sighed and asked again: "Why do you think it's poor?"

"Is the tax too high?" Zhang Yuan said 'carefully'.

Ye Liuyan sighed again: "Yes, the tax is too high. New Blue Castle pays 1 billion star shields every year, plus 30 million tons of various ores, with a total value of about 10 billion star shields. As long as I charge 10% less tax, New Blue Castle will immediately become very wealthy."

Zhang Yuan nodded and wanted to say something, but Ye Liuyan reached out to stop him.

"You must have wanted to ask me why I have collected a lot, right?"

Zhang Yuan nodded.

"Because I can't do it." Ye Liuyan calculated the accounts for Zhang Yuan with his fingers: "The 10 billion star shield, 8 billion will be returned to the empire, and 2 billion will be controlled by me. Of these 2 billion, 1 billion will be returned to the New Blue Fort to maintain the loss of various mines and public facilities in the New Blue Fort. There are still 1 billion left, of which 900 million will be replenished to maintain the normal operation of each fleet and war fortress. This is a necessary expense. There are dangerous star beasts everywhere in space. If the fleet is not maintained, then this time, I cannot send warships to support me. Then, now, I have 100 million left."

Zhang Yuan looked at Ye Liuyan and waited for her to continue talking.

Ye Liuyan laughed at himself: "100 million star shields seem to be quite large, but if the money is spread equally on Mercury, then everyone can't even get a star shield for 2 billion people on Mercury, and this money will suddenly seem insignificant. Did you know that the annual maintenance cost of Mercury high-speed star network is 570 million star shields."

Zhang Yuan was ‘surprised’: “So many?”

"Yes, it's a lot. But the Star Network is only a part of it. Each of them costs money for various public welfare, public transportation, energy consumption, and even forest maintenance. In fact, if Mercury operates normally for a year, it costs 21.3 billion Star Shields. This money is shared by major space cities, and New Blue Castle only shares 100 million, isn't it?"

"No, not much at all." Zhang Yuan shook his head repeatedly.

Speaking of this, she looked at Zhang Yuan and asked, "You said, why is New Blue Castle so poor?"

At this point, Zhang Yuan already knew what Ye Liuyan wanted to say. He followed her words and said: "Because I gave the Empire 8 billion star shields, if there were no such expenses, everyone would be able to live a very good life!"

"Yes!" Ye Liuyan slapped the water hard, and the water splashed: "That's it! It's been 1800, and a new blue castle alone pays 8 billion star shields to the imperial royal family every year! The entire Heyue Province pays more than 260 billion star shields every year! But what did we get? Nothing!"

Ye Liuyan looked excited: "The Red Moon Province pays more star shields to the Empire every year, with a total of 370 billion, but what did they get? When the Transformation Monster arrives, where is the Empire's fleet?"

Zhang Yuan's face turned "excited": "They are just a group of vampires!"

"Okay!" Ye Liuyan praised her loudly. Her eyes were bright and she stared at Zhang Yuan without blinking: "Zhang Yuan, if we have the opportunity to get rid of the rule of the empire, will you do your best to help me?"
