Chapter 287: You have no idea how hard it is for your sister to carry your child

Sword Come is the name of this ballistic missile.

As for the star rating, it's not that a higher star rating means greater power.

This is a classification.

From now on, this ★ is a short-range ballistic missile; later there will be ★★ and ★★★ types.

★★ is a medium-range ballistic missile.

★★★ is an intercontinental ballistic missile.

Of course there may also be ★★★★; after four stars, one can equip ballistic missiles capable of nuclear fission spiritual energy.

As for ★★★★★, that means letting a country restart.

As for the numbers at the back, they are the model numbers, i. e., upgrades and replacements.

Simple and easy to understand.

When everyone was extremely excited, a person suddenly ran in from outside, shouting excitedly:

"His Imperial Lord is coming; everyone hurry out to greet him."

At this moment, the people who had been hugging and shouting in celebration all fell silent, somewhat dazed.

This matter… does His Imperial Lord know about it?

The principal said not to spread this matter outward for now.

But soon everyone felt that was wrong; it couldn't be the reason.

After all, how could His Imperial Lord come just after the explosion succeeded? There must be something else.

Everyone immediately turned their gaze toward Lu Yuan in the crowd.

Lu Yuan, meanwhile, raised an eyebrow and said:

"What are you looking at me for? His Imperial Lord has arrived—hurry up and go meet his carriage!"

Fortunately, this Imperial Lord is my wife; otherwise, you'd say it's like General Nian Gengyao taking off his armor.

When the Imperial Lord arrives, hurry to meet his carriage—what are you looking at me for?

Of course, my wife's arrival this time is indeed sudden.

Generally speaking, when the Imperial Lord goes somewhere, the itinerary must be reported in advance to the Cabinet, which then has the Ministry of Rites make the arrangements.

This is a sudden arrival, so everyone is naturally a bit dazed.

Of course, Lu Yuan knows this is because his wife misses him~

Speaking of which, since that day, the two haven't seen each other for a long time.

From the time they met until now, aside from Lu Yuan's visit to the Linglan Sword Sect, this is the only time, so naturally his wife misses him.

Of course, Lu Yuan also misses his wife.

But after such a long time, I wonder if anyone will notice my wife's pregnancy.

Lu Yuan thought carefully, Hmm……

Actually, it's fine; even in Huangcheng, the weather has already entered autumn.

And here in the Liaobei desert, it's already winter—several days ago there were even light snowflakes.

Wearing thicker clothes and wrapping an overcoat outside is still fine.

However, I estimate this is also my wife's last public appearance before giving birth; after this she must stay put, or else she'll be discovered if she comes out.

After Lu Yuan and his group took the elevator up from underground, the outside already had Ministry of Rites personnel setting things up.

Laying out a red carpet and placing some decorations.

As soon as Lu Yuan came up, he saw a familiar person smiling and greeting him:

"Lord, long time no see."

This person is……

Lu Yuan blinked, recalling that this was an assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, whom he had seen before in court; they could be considered acquaintances.

The people from Qingbei went straight to the front to line up, preparing to greet the Imperial Lord.

Lu Yuan, meanwhile, put a cigarette in his mouth and also handed one to this person.

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites looked somewhat dazed at Lu Yuan and said:

"Lord, the Imperial Lord is about to arrive; this……"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and said:

"What's there to fear? If it comes, just toss it away—no problem, go ahead and smoke."

These days have really made Lu Yuan feel suffocated.

They dug a big hole underground without properly renovating it; basically it's just the Ministry of Works having just excavated the underground hole, then simply doing some ventilation and reinforcement.

Then Lu Yuan led the Qingbei people, bringing various large equipment, down.

There's no way around it; this matter is urgent.

The ventilation down there isn't great; Lu Yuan wants to smoke but can't down there, so he can only go up by elevator to smoke.

But this place is also a top-secret national facility; up and down, various card-swipe access controls are required.

It's really too troublesome.

Unless he really can't hold it in, Lu Yuan only comes up to smoke two cigarettes.

Usually he doesn't come up at all.

It's been two days since his last cigarette.

Having seized the opportunity, he naturally wants to smoke two more.

The two were puffing away behind the crowd when they saw a distant procession of vehicles arriving in a mighty convoy.

Seeing this, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites immediately tossed away his cigarette and hurriedly ran forward to greet them.

Lu Yuan then took two hard drags, sucking until the cigarette butt, after which he felt satisfied and went ahead.

Soon, the motorcade arrived.

They were all black sedans.

As each vehicle drove into the upper courtyard of the base, the senior officials began to get out one after another.

Basically, all the senior officials one could see in the capital had pretty much arrived.

The ministers of the Six Ministries, as well as the three from the Cabinet, had all come.

At that moment, Kang Linfei was staring at Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan knew what Kang Linfei was looking at; his current appearance was really bad.

With so many things every day, Lu Yuan also didn't shave or tidy up.

Naturally, he wasn't good-looking at all.

If Kang Linfei were present, he would surely say something about paying respects to the emperor and paying attention to one's appearance.

However, Kang Linfei didn't get the chance to speak; after all the officials had gotten out and lined up.

Gu Qingwan got out of the car.

Everyone immediately knelt down, shouting "Long live!"

Those kneeling lowered their heads, not daring to look.

Lu Yuan, however, sneakily lifted his head and looked toward his wife.

Huh… stunning.

Today Gu Qingwan wore a linen-colored overcoat made by her own shop.

It had a little fox trademark on it.

The coat covered her upper body completely, so one couldn't see what she wore underneath.

Her lower body was clad in a pair of black seven‑length trousers, pressed dead straight.

Her shoes were a pair of six‑to‑seven‑centimeter off‑white high heels.

They gave her a dignified, steady air while also being somewhat sexy.

Especially the combination of the seven‑length trousers and the high heels revealed her sexy ankle.

Speaking of which, my second wife, like my first, gets pregnant but doesn't get fat from it.

Her arms and legs are no different from before.

Lu Yuan followed her legs upward and saw his second wife today wearing a pair of gold‑wire glasses, her hair coiled behind her head.

Hiss~

Originally, my second wife was that kind of immensely dignified, icy‑beautiful person.

Suddenly putting on a pair of gold‑wire glasses elevated her demeanor by several notches.

It suddenly gave her an unparalleled intellectual aura.

A pert jade nose, rosy lips.

While Lu Yuan stared dazedly at his wife whom he hadn't seen in days, Gu Qingwan suddenly turned up the corner of her mouth with an irresistibly alluring smile and blew him a flying kiss.

Lu Yuan: "???"

The somewhat dazed Lu Yuan immediately turned his head to look aside.

Instead, he saw that everyone present was kneeling on the ground with heads lowered.

Indeed, looking up at the ruler is a major taboo; put seriously, that would be intending rebellion!

Who would dare?

It's precisely my second wife—she's really different from my first wife.

She's also too bold.

What if someone couldn't help but sneak a glance upward…

While Lu Yuan was still turning his head to look around, Gu Qingwan had already resumed her cold, dignified appearance and immediately said:

"Everyone rise; you've worked hard staying in this place these days."

To be frank, Gu Qingwan doesn't even know what Lu Yuan is having these people do!

After that day, Lu Yuan said he would find a deserted place to study things; Gu Qingwan asked what he was studying, but he didn't say.

He merely chose a spot and had the Ministry of Works dig deep.

Then he also transported some equipment from Qingbei Daxue from the Imperial City here.

Next, Lu Yuan led those Qingbei people to take root in this place.

This place isn't too far from Liaobei.

By car, a round trip is about half a day.

But these days my husband truly doesn't even come for half a day, let alone to see me.

Not even a letter.

Well, Gu Qingwan couldn't hold back first.

After finishing part of her urgent work, Gu Qingwan first led people over.

This visit couldn't be casual, after all, given her status.

One always needs a pretext.

Although my husband hasn't told me what he's doing, the fact that he keeps him this busy every day means it must be a major matter.

So we just said we came to offer condolences.

That reason works fine.

And the people from Qingbei Daxue all replied in unison:

For the Great Zhou, it's not hard.

After speaking, the talents of Qingbei Daxue all stood up.

Gu Qingwan looked around, then said:

You guys are...

Although research work, including missile launch silos, is underground, there are also many things above ground, after all some materials need to be stored in warehouses and guarded.

Anyway, above ground are rows upon rows of linked rooms.

There are also dormitories and cafeterias here.

At this moment, Lu Yuan also immediately stood up, went to Gu Qingwan's side, and feigned respect, saying:

Imperial Lord, we work downstairs; let me lead you and the other officials down to have a look.

Gu Qingwan tilted her head slightly, glanced at Lu Yuan, then reached up to adjust the gold-thread glasses on her nose bridge, and said expressionlessly:

Good.

Hiss~

Speaking of which, my wife indeed brought glasses before, but after cultivating immortality, they're no longer needed.

After all, after gaining an immortal body, my nearsightedness naturally healed as well.

I don't know why my wife suddenly brought out those glasses again.

My wife wearing those rimless gold-thread glasses has an absolutely killer look, capable of slaying both men and women.

The underground elevator can't hold that many people; besides, Gu Qingwan didn't want so many people around, so she immediately turned to the crowd behind her and coldly said:

You take one ride; I and Lord Lu have other things to discuss.

After saying that, Gu Qingwan directly entered the elevator, and Lu Yuan turned his gaze to the group from Qingbei Daxue, then called out a few names:

Take these big leaders around downstairs for a tour.

Then Lu Yuan also followed Gu Qingwan into the elevator.

The moment the elevator doors closed, Gu Qingwan's jade hand reached for Lu Yuan's waist, pinched him a second later, and she cooed:

You jerk, for so many days you haven't even come to see your older sister, not even sent a letter!!

Besides, I had to come see you; you have no idea how troublesome it is for me to come out once!!!

You have no idea how hard it is for me to carry your child!!!
