MTL - Interstellar Fairy Tale-Chapter 131
The assassin is dead.
Under strict guards, he died silently, with no traces of trauma on his body. It was identified that he died of poisoning. The poison was smeared on the edge of the cup he was drinking from, and the guards were hard to guard against.
Immediately afterwards, the news of the defection of the captain of the guard at the Governor's Palace came. After clever makeup, the man tried to get into the civilian transport ship of Holhold on the grounds of visiting relatives, but was stopped at the first security checkpoint. Without him, a modified laser cannon was completely taken out of the suitcase. He was speechless and could not explain why he carried military weapons, and his identity would be exposed sooner or later.
Shang Ping stayed in Solan Edrich's room all day. The emperor listened to Novi's report with a calm expression. There was no anger or dissatisfaction, but Shang Ping felt that the defecting guard captain was stupid and ran away. , and also with destructive weapons of destruction, it is more convincing to say that he is visiting relatives, but to vendetta.
"Your Majesty, this is the dereliction of duty by the minister and the shame of Holhold!"
Novi knelt down on one knee and lowered his noble head, but didn't say anything begging for mercy.
Soran Edrich looked at him lightly, and tapped the velvet-covered armrest with his fingertips, but he did not punish him in the end. There was not even a requirement for Novi to find out the background of the assassin, and there was no order to deal with the defected captain of the guard.
Shang Ping looked at Soran Edrich, and always felt that the emperor and Marshal Novi should know who was behind the assassination. He didn't know why he had this idea, maybe it was a little whimsical, and it didn't make sense anyway, but Soran Edrich's reaction was too calm, or did he get used to being assassinated so often?
Shang Ping fell into his thoughts and didn't even notice when Novi left. When he came back to his senses, he found that Soran Edrich was looking at him quietly, his blue eyes bottomless, like It is the most distant abyss of the universe, which will involve all human souls and devour them all.
"Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"what?"
Shang Ping was a little confused, and Soran Edrich obviously didn't intend to pursue further questions, but just extended his hand to Shang Ping. Looking at the slender and fair hand, Shang Ping hesitated for a while, but got up and walked over, standing in front of the emperor, letting his fingertips brush his cheeks and lips, slowly passing by.
"No resistance, eh?"
"Not going to waste your energy."
Shang Ping gradually figured out how to get along with Soran Edrich. Resistance is useless. Dictators have always liked to suppress resistance and struggle. Being too obedient is not in line with your own temperament, and you are a little more arrogant in your words, and don't want to offend the emperor's dignity unscrupulously. Then, it doesn't matter much.
Shang Ping began to become smooth, even if he behaved well at the banquet, it can be said that he saved Solan Edrich, I dare not say that the assassin hidden in the guards will definitely take the emperor's life, at least, he action to avoid this possibility.
However, the emperor's gratitude and indulgence are nothing but illusory things. Shang Ping does not think that by virtue of this incident, Soran Edrich can completely change his attitude towards him. The fact is as he thought, his identity is still Embarrassed, it's just that Soran Edrich's aide will look better when he sees him again.
"I want you to have dinner with me tonight."
"My pleasure, Your Majesty."
Shang Ping bent down awkwardly, but Soran Edrich held his shoulders and kissed his forehead lightly, "You don't need to bend over to anyone but me, understand?"
Shang Ping met Soran Edrich's eyes and nodded helplessly.
If so, why would he have to face those two attendants who seemed to be piled up with etiquette every day?
Shang Ping didn't understand what Soran Edrich was thinking, and he didn't intend to. Once he has made up his mind to do something, he will never be disrupted by other things. The only thing he has to do now is to live. As for the rest, it's all clouds.
Therefore, when he knew that the arrested captain of the guard was trying to get Shang Ping into this assassination plot, what Shang Ping wanted most was to blast the man's head with a laser gun! Of course, he didn't need to do it. The man who didn't know the current affairs died on the same day. He died silently, including his family. All of them were sent into the arms of the **** of death by the ruler of Holholde.
"He is a follower of the former Frontier Rebel Governor. He is related to the guards who participated in the assassination. He has been hiding in Holholde as a spy for decades. The whole family serves a rebel Governor."
So far in Novi's investigation, the identity of the gray-haired chef is still a mystery, and it can only be found out that the man's real name is Ken? Derich, who moved to Hallhold more than ten years ago, had previously lived in the 678th Star for a short time. Novi once suspected that this was a goodwill conspiracy, but the power stone in his hand made him dispel the idea. Perhaps this is just a coincidence. After all, the six hundred and seventy-eighth Huxing has always been known as a transit point for exiles. Moreover, this assassination took place after Huo Xing’s Governor Goodwill reached a deal with His Majesty the Emperor. Goodwill’s son is still in the Emperor. In his hands, he would not be foolish enough to send the handle to Soran Edrich.
When Novi knew that Shang Ping was the son of Goodwill, he was obviously a little surprised, but he was also slightly relieved. At the very least, the deal with Fuxing can continue.
"If you can't find it out, forget it."
Soran Edrich's attendant brought the emperor's words to Novi, and also informed the entire Yuga family, which shed a ray of light on the hazy sky of Holhoder. If the emperor insisted on pursuing it, the entire Holho I am afraid that the upper-level power system of Germany will be shuffled, which will be a disaster for the Yuga family.
All kinds of turbulent tides could not affect Shang Ping. He was busy studying the courses arranged by Soran Edrich, and was occasionally "invited" by the emperor to have dinner or the next game of shogi.
After throwing another shot and admitting defeat, Shang Ping sighed helplessly.
This is Soran Eidrich's fourth day in Holhold. The haze of the assassination seems to have passed. The upper-level family members of the Yujia family began to wait for the emperor's summons again, and Shang Ping was obviously not suitable to be present.
Shang Ping's current scope of activities has expanded to the garden of the Governor's Palace, and he was not allowed to leave the building before.
Now is the flower season of Holholde, hundreds of flowers are blooming, bees and butterflies are flying, and the whole garden is like a colorful ocean.
Shang Ping walked to the grass beside a bush and lay down. It was a rare relaxing time. When the sun was drowsy, the group broke the tranquility. The leader was a young man with light brown hair, delicate facial features, and a unique arrogance on the corners of his eyes and brows. Shang Ping knew that this boy, the son of Marshal Novi's cousin, was 18 years old this year. He had just graduated from the Imperial Military Academy and was currently serving in Holholde's fleet attached to the Empire. This boy is a fanatical admirer of Soran Edrich. He was very unfriendly to Shang Ping at the banquet before, but Shang Ping felt that it was indispensable. He would not have too much with this young man. The intersection, though, was clearly he was wrong. It takes the efforts of both parties to keep the water from the well, and when one of them is very ignorant, the idea will become a joke.
"Honorable guest, why are you lying on the grass? An educated person would never do such rude behavior."
Not even the sarcastic words are eloquent.
Shang Ping secretly slandered, no matter what, this boy didn't feel good to him, he was noisy like a nasty baboon.
Standing up, he patted the blades of grass off his body, and Shang Ping turned to leave. He wasn't going to run into a fight with the boy at the Governor's House, it was not good for him.
"stop!"
The other party obviously didn't intend to let him go, and at the same time was annoyed by his ignorance. He couldn't help reaching out and grabbed Shang Ping's shoulder. He landed on the ground, and then a knee pressed against his chest, making him a little breathless.
Shang Ping looked at the boy who glared at him in surprise, and asked amusingly, "Are you really a soldier of the Golden Empire?"
The boy still glared at Shang Ping fiercely, and his followers were also bewildered by the situation in front of them, and didn't know how to react at all.
"You know, my melee combat is very ordinary, really like yours." Shang Ping emphasized it deliberately, and found that he was also very unpleasant, "However, the imperial soldiers I have seen are very strong, and they are very close with their bare hands. I'm not an opponent at all in a physical fight. And you can still get the rank of second lieutenant?" Shang Ping glanced at the boy's collar with contempt, and said slowly: "The family background is really a good thing, eldest young master. You should thank the empire for having a wise emperor, otherwise who will forgive the incompetent dummies and worms?"
Shang Ping never knew he could be so mean, just when the boy was so angry that he wanted to pull it out? When the gun was fired, Soran Edrich came out from behind the dappled tree. The emperor is dressed in white uniforms, with luxurious royal patterns embroidered on the sleeves, like a gorgeous crystal statue. Seemingly not seeing the boy's face flushed from shame, Soran Edrich stepped forward, pulled Shang Ping up, and kissed Shang Ping's finger lightly with a very gentle tone.
"My wagtail, you always surprise me."
Shang Ping didn't know how to react, so he was expressionless. The others in the garden were too shocked to speak.
That night, the boy who clashed with Shang Ping was sent away from the Governor's Mansion, and Shang Ping had no interest in his fate. He knew that he was a real fox, and if there was no Soran Edrich, perhaps he would have been beaten into a sieve by someone with a laser gun.
Sitting on the bed while wiping his hair, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Shang Ping's mind. He wanted to understand why he hated that boy so much! His attitude was very similar to a person, a guy who was very different from him at the Madoff Military Academy. His memory was a little vague, but Shang Ping still remembered that the boy had gray hair, called Ben? derich. But before graduation, the guy suddenly disappeared, and it seemed that someone had seen him in the Federation of the Free Cities.
Wait, Grey Hair, Derich? !
Shang Ping suddenly stopped, how is this possible? !
In the universe, Mars' voyage fleet has been attacked twice by interstellar pirates, but the loss is not great. After destroying the interstellar pirates, a large amount of weapons and food supplies were seized, and they continued to move forward after a short rest.
Goodwill looked at the news returned by Lord, and had to be amazed at the command ability of Major General Edgar. If this man is given enough warships and weapons to match his command, he may be able to easily defeat an Imperial fleet of the same size.
However, fate always likes to joke. Therefore, whether it is the voyage fleet or Mars, the way forward is determined early.
Goodwill closed the virtual screen, closed his eyes, and slowly leaned back on the chair.
At the same time, the free-returning city federation of the Muse galaxy, the new city master Aijia? Derich walked into the secret room deep in the city lord's mansion alone, and did not come out all day and night.
