Rebirth Counterattack: I Heard That the Imperial Marshal Has a Crush on Me

However, Chu Muxi did not expect that in addition, there would be even bigger ‘surprises’ waiting for him behind.

He originally thought what he was about to see were elite team members with neat military uniforms, possessing a majestic and extraordinary momentum. Even if they hadn’t arrived yet, just by announcing the name of this team, they could make pirate groups thousands of miles away knew about it and retreated from the wind.

But what he never expected was that the group of gangster-looking people standing in front of him, dressed in weird clothes with all kinds of killer and colorful hairstyles, were the aces of the legendary deep space fleet, affiliated with Marshal Lu Junzhi’s Dark Blue Guards.

Chu Muxi and Adjutant Zhou, the so-called most powerful person in Lu Junzhi, stood face to face, staring at each other, but for a moment, no one spoke.

Adjutant Zhou was secretly observing the young master in front of him, who was said to be the future marshal’s wife.

And Chu Muxi didn’t know what to say at all. The series of formal, informal, rigorous, or relaxed greetings that went through his mind on the way here turned into deep confusion at this moment, and he could only silently glance at the group of weird people one by one with a dull gaze.

Chu Muxi covered his forehead, “Is this your Dark Blue Guard?” He looked at Lu Junzhi with eyes full of disbelief and anger at being deceived. Then he turned to look at Zhao Lei, “Are you sure the jump was correct? Did we accidentally jump into the stronghold of some unknown pirate group?”

Zhao Lei turned his head and looked away as if nothing had happened.

Lu Junzhi coughed, “Zhou Xu!”

“Here!” Zhou Xu shouted back.

Lu Junzhi introduced the two to each other, “This is Chu Muxi, Muxi, this is my adjutant, Zhou Xu.”

“Hello, Adjutant Zhou…” He heard Zhao Lei said this several times before. Regarding the deeds of Adjutant Zhou, Zhao Lei said that Adjutant Zhou was a man with narrow eyes and a fox-like appearance.

Just now, at his first glance, he was struck by the clothes with skulls painted on them, which were covered with a bunch of jingling and assorted things that hd didn’t know what they were.

He really couldn’t relate to that fox-like cunning and shrewd lieutenant.

Zhou Xu narrowed his eyes and explained with a smile: “Do as the Romans do. Since you want to pretend to be an interstellar pirate group, you have to act more like one.”

Chu Muxi blinked and asked curiously: “Pretend to be an interstellar pirate group?” What was this plan?

Lu Junzhi hummed, “Treat the other person in his own way.”

Zhou Xu continued: “The marshal will explain the details to you later. This is not the first time for us. We are all familiar with it.”

Chu Muxi felt that he might be hearing hallucinations. Wasn’t this really just Lu Junzhi who randomly brought a group of people over to tease him?

Seeing Chu Muxi’s expression, the others laughed in a friendly manner.

Chu Muxi glared at Lu Junzhi with a bit of complaint. Lu Junzhi glanced at the group of people indifferently. Everyone immediately held back and tried to look solemn. They lowered their heads and shook their shoulders.

“Okay, okay, let’s all go down first. Be prepared to act according to the plan. Don’t hang around here,” Zhou Xu said, and everyone quickly dispersed and arrived at the designated location as if they had been granted amnesty.

.

Lu Junzhi took Chu Muxi to the cab. As soon as he came in, Chu Muxi pretended to be angry and said, “Speak quickly! What’s going on!”

Lu Junzhi looked at his angry look, coughed lightly, and then said, “Let Zhou Xu come over and tell you later.”

“Why didn’t you say it?” Chu Muxi raised an eyebrow.

Lu Junzhi said awkwardly, “I can’t say.”

Chu Muxi became more and more curious, and heard someone knocking on the door and shouting a report.

“Come in.” Lu Junzhi said in a deep voice.

The man pushed open the door and came in. It was Zhou Xu.

Seeing the two of them, he smiled and said, “Marshal, Young Master Chu.”

Chu Muxi nodded, and saw Lu Junzhi breathing a sigh of relief out of the corner of his eye, and couldn’t help but feel funny.

“Hello, Adjutant Zhou.” He was a little surprised to find that when they met for the first time, he looked carefree. At first glance, he looked like a pirate, with the words ‘I am not a good person’ written all over his body. But standing in front of him at this moment, even though he was still wearing strange clothes, he stood upright, and his slightly restrained smile vaguely revealed the resolute and courageous temperament of a soldier.

A completely different person, Chu Muxi thought to himself.

“Young Master Chu must be wondering why we dress ourselves up like this, right?” Zhou Xu asked.

Chu Muxi nodded hurriedly, “Indeed, after all, I have heard about your deeds from others before, so I was a little scared when I met you just now.” Chu Muxi smiled sheepishly.

Zhou Xu said clearly: “I understand. In fact, this is the first time that we have appeared in front of our own people with such an appearance.” Because those who had seen them like this were locked up in a prison far away from the fourth galaxy.

When Zhou Xu finished explaining the cause and effect to Chu Muxi, Chu Muxi couldn’t help but show a shocked face, deeply stunned by the ‘shamelessness’ of these people.

“There is no way. When the Deep Space Fleet was first established, although it was subordinate to the military department, both control and material supply were prioritized and independent of other military departments of the military department. Therefore, our relationship with other military departments has always been not that good. Including the military department.”

The imperial army comprised five military branches, ranked from the First Army to the Fifth Army. Each military branch received support from aristocratic families on the Central Star.

However, the deep space fleet held a fortress position guarding the central star, operating independently of the Five-Armed Forces. It was directly led by Lu Junzhi, jointly overseen by Lu Junzhi and the military department at a macro level, but in practice, the deep space fleet solely followed Lu Junzhi’s orders.

Originally established after a royal family dispute with the military, the fleet emerged due to the royal family’s dissatisfaction with the military’s increasing power, which posed a threat to their status.

Despite the elite status of the royal guards, their limited numbers left the royal family vulnerable in the event of a military mutiny. Over time, the military became less attentive to the royal family’s concerns, aiming to restrict their involvement.

Even the First Prince, appointed as the commander of the Third Army, faced swift dismissal due to the complex dynamics at play.

In this intricate situation, the deep space fleet was created.

Lu Junzhi, born in the First Army of the Military Department, achieved significant military successes leading the First Army in battles against the Allied Powers before his identity became widely known. His rapid rise in status within the First Army could have led to a promotion in the military department if he weren’t so young. Coupled with his mother’s background and royal family ties, he separated from the First Army to become the commander of the Deep Space Fleet.

In its first year, the Deep Space Fleet, under Lu Junzhi’s command, achieved remarkable success in the fiercest battle against the Alliance, penetrating deep into enemy territory and capturing the Alliance Commander alive. For this feat, Lu Junzhi was directly promoted to marshal upon his return.

Chu Muxi couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Lu Junzhi, who maintained a serious expression while staring outside. He now fully understood the remarkable power and influence wielded by this man.
