Hunting Game [Interstellar]

It was close to two o'clock in the middle of the night when he left the study room. Su Shichuan pushed open the door and saw Aning who was leaning against the wall standing up straight, and smiled at him: "It's getting late, is the emperor going to stay overnight, or Back to the Commander's Mansion?"

Su Shichuan was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect him to wait outside, Ah Ning saw his doubts, and explained very intimately: "It's His Royal Highness's order, he guesses that you won't leave immediately, so let I'll wait outside to see if you have any needs, lest I can't find anyone to neglect you."

"Your Highness has a heart." Su Shichuan said lightly, "I plan to go back to the military academy to accompany training for a period of time after school starts. I'll stay at home for a few days."

Aning was a little surprised when he heard this: "Aren't you busy this year? I thought His Highness had a mission to have a secret talk with you today."

Su Shichuan sensitively noticed that Aning used the word "task", which shows that he is knowledgeable. It seems that Cisse's methods of testing his subordinates are similar, but the tasks assigned according to individual differences will also be different. .Aning's identity in the Crown Prince's Palace is a bodyguard, and he uses the appearance of the opposite sex after changing his appearance. With this layer of disguise, it is conceivable what type of tasks Cisse will ask him to do. It should be a habit. broken knife.

The two looked at each other in silence. As colleagues, there was inevitably a tacit feeling between each other.

"It's a task, but don't worry." Su Shichuan said as he took a step.

Aning respectfully followed behind him, remained silent for a few seconds, and then tentatively asked: "Isn't it hard to make a move? Otherwise, after His Highness left, you wouldn't have stayed inside for so long."

Su Shichuan raised the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Why, tired of waiting?"

"I don't dare." Aning said with a serious face, "You are the chief teacher and the emperor's tutor, and your status is more important than the other. Don't talk about waiting outside, just put me on the ground and beat me up." I dare not have an opinion."

"It's a good idea," Su Shichuan said thoughtfully, "Try it another day."

Aning: "..."

Why do you want to cheat yourself?This man has always done what he says!Aning silently slapped herself in the heart, and suddenly didn't want to go back to the military academy.

"The task is a bit tricky, but fortunately there is plenty of time." Su Shichuan still answered his question.

Aning smiled knowingly, and said as a matter of course: "Your Highness also depends on your ability to arrange tasks. The part for the emperor's tutor will definitely be more difficult, and I trust you."

Su Shichuan gave a flat "hmm" and didn't speak.Aning could see that he didn't want to talk about it, so he changed the subject and brought the topic back to professional teaching.

During the conversation, the two walked out of the main gate of the courtyard. Su Shichuan turned to look at Aning and said, "This is it, you go back and rest, and I will drive away later."

"Then take it easy," Ah Ning bowed to him, "I'll see you in a week."

Su Shichuan nodded in response, and left without looking back.

After leaving the Double Moon Hall, Su Shichuan sent a message to Uncle Luo, stating that he would stay with the crown prince in the next few days, and go back to see him when he had time, and then drove straight to the old opera house in the suburbs.He has only one purpose for coming this time, which is to reveal part of the new plan that is not mature enough in his mind to his partners.

Originally, everything was just a conception, not even a prototype, but the assassination order given to him by Cisse tonight was nothing more than a catalyst, forcing him to put his conception into action as soon as possible.The death of the old emperor will directly trigger the era change of the empire. In the new environment, Xifa, as the third prince who has not yet graduated, will only be in a more passive position.The empire has absolutely no room for him to grow, and staying here will only make him live under the shadow of the Cisse dynasty.

It was late at night, and the opera house was quiet.

Su Shichuan didn't intend to wake up his subordinates to rest, so after going down to the basement floor, he went straight into the rest area and came to his bedroom.However, before he had time to touch the doorknob, the door of the bedroom diagonally opposite opened first. Su Shichuan turned his head in response, smiled, and whispered, "Did you wake up?"

Cang Xingyun was wearing a dark combat uniform that was the same as during the day, and there was no feeling of drowsiness between his eyebrows and eyes when he first woke up from sleep. He said "um" lightly, and said, "Why don't you tell me in advance if you want to come back, they are all asleep. Now, if something happens, I'll go and wake people up."

Seeing him coming out, Su Shichuan simply refused to enter the room, turned his back against the wall opposite to Shangcang Xingyun, gave him a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, and said lightly: "No, we will talk about it tomorrow, let them have a good rest."

Cang Xingyun didn't smoke, turned the cigarette with his slender five fingers, and asked very keenly: "Is there really something wrong?"

"Well," Su Shichuan breathed a sigh of relief, and met the other party's sight through the slowly floating smoke, "the plan has changed, and Xisai also arranged a task for me tonight, I thought about it, and decided to reschedule the pick-up The action of coming down, so I came over overnight."

"It seems to be very tricky." Cang Xingyun came out with a burst of blood.

Su Shichuan felt an indescribable sense of exhaustion in his heart, he did not speak, but nodded slowly.

Cang Xingyun stared at him silently for a while, and finally didn't ask anything, just said: "If you are tired, rest first, and call me if you need something." He paused, and then said, "If there is someone who needs to be killed, just arrange Give it to me, there is no guarantee that it will be foolproof, but I will definitely try my best to do it.”

Su Xingchuan laughed immediately when he heard the words, and said, "Okay." After speaking, he stubbed out the cigarette butt, turned and entered the bedroom.

After a night of no dreams, before dawn the next day, Su Shichuan was awakened by a faint sound of scratching the door. He turned his head and saw that the fox dog was sitting next to the bed, wagging its tail and looking at him.

"Master, you are here," Seventeen licked his nose, and said pitifully, "You have come too rarely, and you have never returned to the Emperor."

Su Shichuan lost sleepiness, propped himself up and leaned against the head of the bed, and lifted Shi Qi up by the fur on the nape of his neck, covered the top of the Spitz's head with his palm, and smoothed it's fur.

Shi Qi wanted to jump up a long time ago, but because there was no precedent, he was afraid that the master would not be happy, so now he was so happy that he grabbed the master's hand with his small paws, and asked very obediently: "Is your injury healed? Are there any remaining problems?" As he said, he looked at Su Shichuan's shoulder.

The man's skin is fair and delicate, and the contours of the undulating muscles are flexible and beautiful. The penetrating wound caused by the electromagnetic gun has completely healed, and it has received special repairs later, so there is not even a trace left.Of course, this is only superficial. Not leaving scars is the need of the secret service profession, and the sequelae are the most important thing.

"It should be fine." Su Shichuan said, "I didn't feel anything when I was active, it's almost the same as before."

"That's good." Seventeen was completely relieved.

Su Shichuan looked at the intelligent body that deliberately turned into a small dog to make him happy, and a smile appeared in his eyes. After a while, he said, "Did you bully Xingyun again after you came back?"

"He actually sued you?" Shi Qi exploded instantly.

"That's not true," Su Shichuan said, "I just feel that you should do that."

"Oh." Seventeen gritted his teeth angrily, grinding his claws on the quilt, "That day you pretended to be hijacked in order to let them escape, but it was fine if you didn't bandage the dead fish. Throwing you down is simply too much!"

Su Shichuan looked at him with a smile, and explained: "I asked him to do that."

"That's what he said." Shi Qi was still very upset, "But even so, it's still too much!"

Su Shichuan was amused by this unreasonable little guy, thinking that Xingyun was also working hard, so he asked helplessly: "Then what do you want him to do?"

"I don't know either..." Shi Qi stretched out his claws to hug Su Shichuan's arm, buried his pointed face in his palm and rubbed it again and again, his voice weakened, "I knew you were seriously injured, don't talk about what happened there. The water temperature is low, even ordinary exposure to water may cause infection, I can't bear it..." He sniffed, "You think about this and that all day long, why don't you think about it for yourself?"

"What if I didn't follow! What if the admiral in the air battle is late! What if your body doesn't hold up...then Seventeen will have no master, huh huh..."

Su Shichuan wiped his hands full of snot and tears, so he had no choice but to concentrate on coaxing the tantrum intelligent body, and then slowly instilled the correct concept of "don't often bully your partner".

Half an hour later, Shi Qi had silently moved his arms around his master's neck, but was still humming.Su Shichuan felt that he had finished all the coaxing words in his life, but the dog in his arms still didn't recover. He vaguely felt that it was a system bug, and wondered if he should restart the program for him.

As a result, the intelligent body that turned into a crying bag and acting like a baby was forced to shut down.

Feeling relieved, Su Shichuan used the communicator to call Cang Xingyun, and asked him to help carry the fox dog to the meeting room, and specifically told him to turn it on after he got there.Mr. Assassin's expression remained unchanged, as if a time bomb had been stuffed into his heart, and he said in his heart, turn it off and hide it quietly, why don't you just blow it up when I turn it on later?But without saying a word, he took the dog and left.

After the two left and the door was closed again, Su Shichuan got up and got out of bed, went to the bathroom to take a shower, changed into a new set of shirts and trousers, put on military boots, and then put on a metal mask——Teacher Huang disappeared , The crow entered the stage——Su Shichuan faced the mirror, repeatedly comparing the several time points he had mastered in his mind, fastened the last button, and finally took off the coat on the hook, and pushed the door to leave the bedroom.

At [-] o'clock in the morning, all staff gathered in the conference room.

Seventeen transformed back into a human form, exuding the resentment caused by falling out of favor, and stood silently at the place farthest from the deep-sea fish in a straight line.Cang Xingyun kept a diagonal line with him calmly, stood by the door, leaned his back against the wall, and crossed his hands in front of his chest.Ji Yue hugged the little Pei Li who was still asleep, and sat on the sofa with the doctor.

Su Shichuan came late, and immediately realized that the atmosphere was not right after entering the door. Looking at Shiqi again, he immediately understood.

"Long time no see." He sat on the high stool directly in front of the conference room, looked up at Jiyue and Yunus, "I haven't had the chance to thank you in person. The two of you worked hard last time at Fort Hagrid."

"Sure, Boss, you're welcome." Ji Yue said.

"You're fine," Jonas said.

Su Shichuan looked down at Peili in Jiyue's arms, remained silent for a few seconds, and said, "Don't disturb her next time, Peili is not in good health and needs to rest more."

"Yes, Boss." Ji Yue replied first, and then explained again, "But this time, Pei Li is here by herself. She said that she hasn't seen you for a long time, so I'm afraid I might miss it."

Su Shichuan couldn't help laughing: "So that's the case, I will try to come here more often after that." He was silent for more than a minute before saying, "I came back this time because I have something to discuss with you guys. .”

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help being taken aback, and easily caught that special word.

Su Shichuan succinctly explained what he discovered at Fort Hagrid that day, and told the truth about all the known and speculated contents.

The identities of the people present were different, and some of them could even be said to be complete opposites, so the reactions after hearing it were also very different.While speaking, Su Xingchuan was carefully observing everyone's reactions, especially Dr. Yunus, who originally belonged to the Luo Yin Empire. He noticed the other party's mood swings several times, and was even eager to ask questions, but in the end he chose Silent, did not interrupt him.

Su Xingchuan omitted the part that might reveal his identity, and only talked about the main points, and finally stated the agreement with Rex: "I promised him that within six months, the third prince will betray the empire and join the alliance, and it is precisely because of this , the next action arrangement will be overthrown and restarted." He looked at Yunus, "Is there any problem?"

Sure enough, Yunus frowned, and looked at him in disbelief: "You clearly suspect that Rex is using His Highness, but you still want to persuade him to betray the empire?"

"Yes." Su Shichuan's voice was calm, but his tone was firm, "Sisai's foundation is too stable, it is not impossible to forcibly assassinate, but those who have been assigned to his camp may find it difficult to obey the new crown prince. It has become fragmented, and it is difficult to fight against the alliance. On the contrary, if the third highness is allowed to join the alliance, even if it is just a puppet being used, then the target we need to solve will become Rex alone."

"And the most important point is that by borrowing the power of the alliance, we have one less opponent that needs to be dealt with, and it is a very troublesome one that will determine the fate of the empire." He looked into Yunus' eyes, intentionally implying that he was 50 The result after the year, "They were originally the rebels who split from the empire. After all, they are still the people of the Luoyin Empire. If all goes well and Xifa sits on the throne as the commander of the alliance, the fate of the empire will still be in the hands of In the hands of the Tranzer family—”

"—It's like never dying."

Yunas's eyes darkened, his lips parted, but he didn't refute.

"But the alliance will have the same problem." Cang Xingyun said, "The people who treasoned with Rex are all his old troops, and their loyalty is no less than that of Cisse's dog, even if they once belonged to the Imperial Army , the Third Highness Xifa is only based on Rex's instructions, how can you guarantee that those people will be willing to be loyal to Xifa after assassinating Rex?"

As if he had guessed that there would be such a question a long time ago, Su Shichuan looked at him sideways, and said calmly: "These two things only look the same on the surface, but they are actually very different in essence."

Cang Xingyun frowned, puzzled, and said: "If you reach a cooperation with Rex, it means that we will treason with the Third Highness and join the alliance. According to your plan, we must turn back and assassinate Rex again." , you can't naively expect his old department not to suspect that we are sensitive and newcomers, right?"

"According to the situation at the time, we are indeed the most suspicious, and we can easily be positioned as agents who 'deliberately go deep and assassinate the alliance commander'." Su Shichuan said, "But there is one thing you think wrong. According to my plan, Those who assist the treason of West France are 'you'——" He looked at everyone present in turn, "without me."

Shi Qi was shocked for a moment, and even forgot to be angry, and blurted out: "You want to stay in the empire? Alone?"

"Yes." Su Shichuan looked at him calmly, "If you stay, I can assassinate the commander of the alliance as an empire. Similarly, only if I stay, and when the alliance attacks the White Emperor Star, you can get the ultimate reward." Comprehensive internal support."

"It's too dangerous..." Shi Qi kept shaking his head, "At least let me be with you..."

"The alliance is also dangerous." Su Shichuan did not directly reject him, but said patiently, "Xingyun's concerns are based on the fact that Xifa is a foreign prince. There are no cronies there, and even people he knows are not familiar with him." No, it takes a lot of time and experience to break through the alliance system and build your own network."

"Because I have to stay, you are the only ones who can help Xifa. Although Rex is suspicious, he will not let go of anyone who is beneficial to the alliance, not to mention that you are accompanying as 'nameless'. I Protecting him in Fortress Haigrid, coupled with instigating the Third Highness for him, will shake his vigilance and create good conditions for you."

"But..." Shi Qi wanted to say more.

"No but!" Su Shichuan interrupted him in a deep voice, "Don't forget our original intention, don't forget the meaning of your awakening, all the preparations I have done so far are to send him to that position. Ten Seven, if you call me master, you must obey my orders. You are not an intelligent body born for me, but for that plan, understand?!"

Shiqi suddenly fell silent, and after a long while whispered: "This subordinate understands."

Su Shichuan breathed a sigh of relief, and his voice softened again: "Peli's ability is quite special, and she might be used by Rex, so she is left to be taken care of by me. Except for the seventeen, none of you were mine before. People. Because the time is uncertain, success is uncertain, so I respect your choice in this matter, you can refuse, and I will let you leave after the third highness goes to the alliance smoothly."

As the last sound fell, the conference room fell silent, no one spoke, and no one raised any questions.

Su Shichuan stood up, saluted the imperial army very solemnly to everyone present, and said softly: "Betrayal is because of unswerving loyalty until death, and all the means and methods that cannot be seen are for the infinite light of the future." He especially looked at To Yunus, "Doctor, you are different from us, and you may not agree with everything. But you must know that the reason why someone can live in peace is because there are other people who are carrying the darkness for him."

Yunus nodded, and said very movedly: "The person who chooses you really chooses the future for the empire."

Su Shichuan bowed to him, and then said: "That's it for today, Xingyun XVII is here, I still have something to say."

After the meeting was over, the other three left. After closing the door, Cang Xingyun looked at Su Shichuan: "You didn't mention the task that Xi Sai arranged for you, can't you tell me?"

"Just about to say it." Su Shichuan walked to the sofa and sat down, took off his mask, pressed his temples with his fingertips and rubbed them vigorously, "He wants me to assassinate the emperor for a year."

After the voice fell, Xingyun Seventeen was shocked at the same time, and Seventeen suddenly realized: "No wonder you have to arrange a new plan so early."

"It is indeed because of him, but I also think this timing is an opportunity." Su Shichuan analyzed calmly, "Sisai killed his father and ascended the throne, so for Xifa, it will only be Xisai's empire that will be betrayed, and put it on the alliance side , and even more reasons to attack and come back.”

"Have you thought about it for yourself?" Cang Xingyun stared into Su Shichuan's eyes for a moment, "You assassinated the emperor, but you were also Xifa's father. I'm afraid Xisai didn't just want to be promoted early, he Do you still want to kill two birds with one stone and drive you apart?"

Su Shichuan smirked, and his voice immediately mocked: "You are right."

"This bastard!" Seventeen said angrily, "Don't worry, you don't need to do this."

"This is also the reason why I want you to stay." Su Shichuan was shocked last night, and now he has calmed down a long time ago, "Cisse asked me to complete it independently, but the other party is the emperor after all, it is still difficult to assassinate, I really need helper."

"Cisse took this step too cunningly. You may not know that the canonization of the emperor's mentor I accepted last night. In addition, I also obtained the position of commander of the imperial guards, responsible for the security deployment of the entire Double Moon Palace. He is very It is clear that the emperor was assassinated, and he, the crown prince who desperately needs to be promoted, must be involved, so he arranged the 'reward' for me in advance. "

"I am the tutor of the crown prince, and I am the trusted confidant of Cisse in the entire empire. At the same time, I also have the security details of the Double Moon Palace. I am the only person who has the right to mobilize the deployment of the imperial city. Under this premise, once the emperor is assassinated, I will The suspicion on him can be imagined, it is perfect to replace him as the target of public criticism."

Su Shichuan smiled sarcastically: "It's like telling others that I did it for them. The 'others' naturally includes Xifa."

"Then what should we do, do you have a plan?" Cang Xingyun asked.

"Not yet, but I definitely can't do anything in the Double Moon Palace, and I plan to go back to the military academy in a week, so the old rules." Su Shichuan looked at the two in turn, and said with a smile, "Find out the rules and determine the emperor's future." Half a year's schedule, as long as he leaves the Double Moon Palace, we will directly do it."

"Understood." The two replied.
