Hunting Game [Interstellar]

Two weeks later, the enthronement ceremony came as scheduled.

Martial law was enforced in the imperial city of Shuangyue Palace, gun salutes exploded in the sky, and blue smoke drifted away.Outside the palace of Stars of Glory, the little flower girl tossed fresh flower petals high, and the royal family and nobles of the Luo Yin Empire and senior military officials were all present, lined up on both sides of the red carpet, quietly waiting for the arrival of the new emperor.

In this ceremony, the empire has neither a reigning emperor nor an archbishop, and the only elder in name of Cisse is the crown prince mentor.

Wearing an orthodox dress, Su Shichuan stood tall at the end of the red carpet above the high steps, condescending, overlooking the audience.Behind him stood two respectful attendants, bowed their heads deeply, raised their arms flat, and carefully dragged the crown on the velvet cushion.

It was a clear day, the sky was as blue as washing, and the golden sun poured down, shining brightly on the platinum crown that symbolized the supremacy of the Luo Yin Empire.

With both hands behind Su Shichuan's hands, his back stretched straight, the lines from waist to legs were impeccably perfect, and his handsome face remained cold.He lowered his eyes to look at the crowd, scanning inch by inch, and finally landed on a young noble who was attending the banquet alone.Cang Xingyun wore a suit of snow-white costumes suitable for the occasion, her long hair was bleached and dyed golden, her eyes were covered with a pair of lake blue pupils, she blended in among the crowd, raised her head at the right time, and met Su Shichuan's face impartially. line of sight.

The eyes of the two separated instantly, and there seemed to be an indescribable understanding in the silence.

Cang Xingyun and the girl behind him passed by, leaving the crowd very low-key.

With just the right amount of surprise on Ji Yue's face, she lightly lifted the corner of her skirt to get out of the way for him.Like many girls of that age, she pretended to look curiously at the other person, and then returned her attention to the red carpet. The hand hanging by her side moved to her waist very inconspicuously, pushing aside Lace decoration gently holds the lightsaber handle.

A pigeon slid down from the sky, shaking its feathers. Mr. Assassin deftly opened the front of his jacket and brought in the pigeon that seemed to be out of balance.

Shi Qi shrunk his size a bit, exposed his head, and asked, cooing, "Did you find the agent of the alliance?"

"There are eleven people in the vestibule." Cang Xingyun silently shuttled through the outermost circle of the crowd, slowly approaching the stone steps, "Those people are quite professional, so there may be omissions."

The little pigeon twisted the bird's unbelievably flexible neck, blowing hair at him very proudly, saying: "Coo coo!"

Cang Xingyun: "..."

"What's wrong with you?" Mr. Assassin frowned, a little unaccustomed to the taunt from the bird.

"What do you know?" Seventeen looked contemptuous, "The mimicry of our intelligent body will inherit 100% of the habits of the species being mimicked, so that the fake ones can be confused with the real ones, woo!"

Cang Xingyun stared at the little pigeon in silence for a few seconds, then teasingly tapped the other's beak with her fingers, poked lightly into her chest, closed her front, and the world was quiet.He flipped the hood out from the back of the collar, his long hair was pulled to one side, and the hood was pulled deep to hide his face.

This is the direction of the royal ritual and music, and the crowd consciously stepped back, bowing and saluting one after another.

Cang Xingyun hid in the shadows, poked his head out calmly, and stared at the other end of the red carpet for a moment.

A bouquet of petals was sprinkled down, King Xisai's robe was added to his body, he held a golden scepter, and looked at the little flower girl next to him with a smile on his face.Half a step behind him, Xifa was wearing the dress of the regent, raised his head indifferently, looked over the red carpet, climbed up the steps, and looked at Su Shichuan who was waiting there with a good eye.

With the two princes in place, the enthronement ceremony officially began.

Cang Xingyun took out the pigeon from his bosom, and threw it back without looking at it.Shi Qi was dazed from being covered, flapping his wings and barely finding the right direction, his small body soared up into the sky, flew straight to the dome of the stars, turned into a human form, and pulled up his tactical mask.

In the communication channel, Cang Xingyun reported in an orderly manner: "It is roughly judged that there are eleven agents from the alliance, and the number is not small. Rex really did what he said."

"Of course," Seventeen said, "It was the master who helped him, so it's nothing if he sacrificed a few agents."

The voices of the two spread along the current and came out of the headset without missing a word.

Su Shichuan watched as Cisse knelt down on one knee in front of him, turned around and took the first crown, put it in front of his hands, and gently put it on his hair: "Congratulations on your succession, Your Majesty Cisse Tranze. After finishing speaking, he helped Cisse to stand up himself.

This sentence was also spread by the electric current and slowly echoed in the communication channel.

Cang Xingyun said: "Get ready for action." He let go of the headset, appeared from the shadows, swiftly climbed up the stone steps along the outer wall, climbed over the guardrail, and invaded behind a forbidden soldier like a ghost, and then circled forward with one hand Covering his mouth and nose, he feigned a cut at the throat with the other hand, directly put the person down, and dragged him behind the decorative flower wall.

At the same time, Ji Yue pulled down the veil of her top hat, stepped forward through the crowd, and walked straight onto the red carpet.

A forbidden soldier noticed something strange, quickly walked behind her, and politely reminded: "Miss, you can't—"

All of a sudden, his voice stopped abruptly, and his body even took a step forward while maintaining the trend just now.

The action was completed so quickly that a well-dressed lady next to the red carpet felt something hot splash on her cheek. It was only when the young girl who violated the rules left that she touched it belatedly. Looking at the palm, his expression changed drastically, and he screamed in horror.

"Blood...is blood! There are assassins!"

At this time, the forbidden soldier whose throat was sealed with a sword fell to the ground, and the crowd was in chaos.Ji Yue quickened his pace, tore off his top hat, pulled up his mask, and resolutely raised his sword to slash at the encircling imperial guards.Her shot seemed to be a signal, and in an instant, the alliance agents hidden in the crowd appeared at the same time.

Above the high level, Su Shichuan's crowning of Xifa came to a sudden halt, and the crown fell to the ground. He pulled Xifa to cover behind him, and ordered loudly: "Protect Your Majesty!"

After the words were lost, Shi Qi, who was hiding above the crowd, jumped down from his body, pulled out the dagger at his waist while flying in the air, and blatantly attacked Cisse the moment he landed.

Feng Chen, who was waiting beside him, reacted immediately, drew out the black gold sword in the shape of a ghost, and was about to step forward. At this moment, with a soft "咻", the flying knife rubbed his cheek tightly. Nailed into the Roman column behind.Feng Chen glanced sideways and recognized the hidden weapon, his eyes suddenly narrowed, like a predator whose territory had been offended, his eyes were dark and prey, and he looked in the direction of the flying knife.

"you again."

Cang Xingyun walked out of the Roman pillar where he was hiding, and without saying a word, drew two more throwing knives and threw them with his hands.Feng Chen raised his sword to block left and right, looked at Xi Sai from the corner of his eye, and noticed that Su Shichuan was guarding him, so he was a little relieved, and concentrated on dealing with the half-shark assassin in front of him who was obviously looking for him.

On the other side, Su Shichuan drew his sword to meet Seventeen without turning his head and said, "His Royal Highness, please protect Your Majesty."

Xifa was stunned when he heard the words, his brows were tightened, and he drew out his sword after a while, and stepped forward resolutely to separate Su Shichuan.Shi Qi was so happy that he didn't want to fight with his master, so he blocked Xifa's attack with a dagger, and led him to the side.

Within a few minutes, the battle situation that seemed to be a surprise attack became clear in an instant. Su Shichuan returned to Xi Sai's side, grabbed his arm, and said, "This place is not safe. Your Majesty will follow me first."

There was a skin wound left by a dagger on Cisse's left arm, the blood spilled out and stained the sleeve of the dress, after he pulled it, he frowned in pain immediately: "Who are they?"

"I don't know yet." Su Xingchuan spoke quickly, escorted Xisai into the Glory of Stars, then pressed the headset, and urgently mobilized the two teams of imperial guards on standby to come to support.

But after a while, the pre-deployed imperial troops rushed to the palace and protected a lounge on the third floor airtight. The military doctor who came with the team urgently treated the wound for Cisse. Silent.

Everything was developing according to the predetermined track, and after the arrangements here were settled, Su Shichuan applied to Xisai to go out to check the situation.Cisse, who was disturbed by the enthronement ceremony, was so furious that he didn't even look at it, and directly waved his hand to signal Su Shichuan to go quickly, and said, "You must live."

Su Shichuan nodded and accepted the order, turned around and left the lounge quickly, pressed the headset, and ordered: "Retreat."

After receiving the news, the three people outside the palace quickly ended the battle at hand, left the Glory of Stars according to the predetermined route, removed their disguise, and hid in the crowd again.

When Su Shichuan came out, Feng Chen happened to catch an assassin. The opponent's cheeks swelled up slightly, as if he wanted to chew. Feng Chen was too familiar with this, so he grabbed the opponent's jaw vigorously and removed his entire chin. , Then the dagger sticks out, and cuts off the back molar that hides the poison together with a large piece of gum meat, preventing him from committing suicide.

The agent's mouth was full of blood, and he couldn't stop struggling, Feng Chen's face was very ugly, he threw him to his subordinates, and ordered: "Take him down and have a look, we'll interrogate together tonight."

"What's the matter?" Su Shichuan walked over, and seeing the blood on Feng Chen's collar, he knew that this time Xingyun was forced hard, and he had to hurt someone to escape.

Feng Chen's shoulder blade was pierced by the flying knife, the injury was not serious, but there was a lot of blood, and a large area of ​​the dress was soaked, but he himself seemed to be unaware of it, and said calmly: "I caught a few live Yes, but the merman ran away."

"Merman?" Su Shichuan frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously, "Another nameless person?"

"This time is a bit special." Feng Chen walked to a corpse, and opened the other's mouth with the tip of his sword, "Come and see."

Su Shichuan knew what Feng Chen wanted him to see, but he still walked over as he said, and knelt down on one knee beside the corpse.The face of the corpse was black and blue, with obvious characteristics of poisoning. He was about to stretch out his hand to pry open the lower lip of the corpse, but he heard Feng Chen say: "I'm not sure what the poison is, don't touch it."

Su Shichuan withdrew his hand, Feng Chen said again: "It's the same as the one just now, the last tooth is hollow, with poison hidden inside, it's a professional agent."

"Alliance." Su Shichuan looked up at him, "Why does the nameless person act with the alliance? Is it a coincidence, or are they together?"

"You won't know until you've been interrogated." Feng Chen withdrew his hand and put the sword behind his back again.

After arranging the aftermath work outside, the two entered the main hall of the Stars' Glory together, Feng Chen said: "How is your Majesty?"

"There is a cut on the arm, it has been checked, it is not poisonous, it is just an ordinary skin trauma." Su Shichuan led him up to the third floor, "It should be nothing serious."

Feng Chen heaved a sigh of relief, and his expression softened slightly: "Your people reacted quite quickly, and came here not long after the accident, it seems that there is already an emergency plan?"

Su Shichuan said: "With the lessons learned from the National Day, after I took over, I made several contingency plans for the possible large-scale celebrations in the Shuangyue Hall, and I didn't expect to use them."

"It's still you who are careful," Feng Chen said, "After all, you noticed it a long time ago, His Majesty asked me to rush back and deploy ahead of time, so nothing major happened. This time, there is really no danger."

Entering the corridor on the third floor, the two consciously kept their voices silent to prevent the conversation from being overheard.

There were more than a dozen royal imperial guards standing outside the lounge. Seeing Su Shichuan and Feng Chen coming, they all saluted. A man who looked like an officer stepped forward. Su Shichuan asked, "How is your majesty?"

"The doctor has bandaged the wound, and now he is taking some anti-inflammatory drugs and is resting." The subordinate reported truthfully.

Su Shichuan stopped in his tracks: "Then we'll come back later."

Hearing this, the subordinate hurriedly said: "Lieutenant General, Your Majesty has an order to go see him after you finish with the Admiral."

The two looked at each other, Feng Chen said: "Understood, take care, don't let irrelevant people come and disturb."

"Yes."

After finishing speaking, Feng Chen stepped forward to knock on the door first, and after Xisai agreed, pushed the door and walked in, Su Shichuan followed closely behind, and closed the door again with his hands back.

Cisse changed into a clean shirt, didn't wear a coat, covered his body with a blanket, and was resting on the recliner with his eyes closed. When he heard someone entering the room, he didn't open his eyes, but said, "Tell me about the situation."

Su Shichuan turned his head to look at Feng Chen, and the two quickly exchanged glances, Feng Chen took the initiative to speak, and said: "Roughly, there should be fifteen assassins who have sneaked into the Double Moon Hall, and we have captured three of them alive. Detained in Prison No. [-], awaiting arraignment."

"You go there yourself," said Sissy, "you must knock your mouth open."

"Yes." After the words were closed, Feng Chen was silent for a few seconds, and then said again, "Based on the characteristics of the assassin, it is basically certain that the other party is a professional agent."

Xi Sai opened his eyes and stared at Feng Chen for a moment: "You mean... the alliance?"

"It should be." Feng Chen said.

The news of the new emperor of the Luo Yin Empire's ascension to the throne is absolutely public. It is not unusual for the alliance to learn about it. But the other party was able to enter the Double Moon Palace without disturbing the imperial guards inside. This only shows that someone is cooperating with them internally and externally. , deliberately opened an unimpeded road.

Xi Sai's expression remained unchanged, his eyes lightly looked at Su Shichuan who was standing aside, and asked, "How did people get in?"

"It's not clear at the moment, but judging from the surface, it is very likely that he pretended to be a guest and sneaked in through the main entrance." After Su Shichuan finished speaking, he knelt down on one knee in front of Xisai, "It's my negligence in urging the imperial army to deal with it. Poor inspection of guests."

Cisse smiled, waved his hand, and said, "The arrangement for the follow-up increase is good, and I can't blame you for this matter. The people below are negligent. You go back and see who is in charge of the entrance inspection today, and replace them again." For a batch, Feng Chen will notify the military department and let the mentor choose randomly."

"Yes." The two took orders.

"How is Sifa?" Cisse asked again.

Feng Chen said: "His Royal Highness the Regent was not injured, and arranged to rest in another room."

Cisse nodded slowly, his voice was weaker, and he said thoughtfully: "I thought it was a crow, but I didn't expect it to be an alliance." He smiled slightly, "Rex, an old fox, look Come to live impatiently."

As soon as these words came out, neither Feng Chen nor Su Shichuan dared to express their opinions at will, and the room immediately fell silent.

However, at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Cisse frowned in displeasure, and said to Feng Chen: "Go and have a look, if there is nothing important, I will push it for you."

"Yes." Feng Chen left the rest room as he said, and after a while, he walked back quickly. Su Shichuan noticed that his pace was obviously much faster than when he left.

Feng Chen: "Your Majesty, there is a student from a military academy who claims to know the inside story of this raid, and it is said that he has solid evidence. Now that he has been brought here, do you want to meet him, or do you want your subordinates to investigate and report back to you? "

"Military cadets?" Cisse pressed his forehead and rubbed it tiredly, "Why are military cadets invited to participate in my enthronement ceremony?"

Feng Chen: "His father is a lieutenant general of the Mecha Marine Corps, so he should have come in as an entourage."

Cisse's face softened slightly: "What professional?"

"Special tactics," Feng Chen glanced at Su Shichuan very inconspicuously, "He was a student of Instructor Huang when he was teaching."

Cisse was startled, and seemed to be suddenly interested here, and ordered: "Call someone in, I want to hear how he, a military student, grasped the inside story and evidence of the alliance agent's raid." He looked at Su again. Shi Chuan, "Or is it that the instructor is good at teaching, and even the students who have not graduated are more capable than the professional intelligence personnel of the military department?"

Su Shichuan bowed: "The minister avoids first."

"No need," Cisse stopped him, "The instructor is not an outsider, so don't avoid it, just stay and listen together."

"Yes." After speaking, Su Shichuan stepped aside respectfully.

Sisai sat upright with great satisfaction, raised his chin towards Feng Chen, motioned for someone to come in, and Feng Chen took the order to leave the lounge.

When the door opened again, Su Shichuan looked towards the door in search of sound.When the eyes met, Austin didn't expect Su Shichuan to be there, and his expression froze slightly, but he quickly adjusted, avoided his eyes, and walked firmly in front of Cisse, giving the imperial military salute.

"I heard that you are also a student of Instructor Huang." Xi Sai smiled gently, "It seems that there are no mediocrities in my mentor's subordinates."

Austin's heart was beating extremely fast, and he subconsciously glanced at Su Xingchuan again, trying to find even the slightest bit of resentment from his face.However, what surprised him was that Su Shichuan's expression was as calm as usual, and he didn't even look at him anymore, as if he didn't notice his existence at all.

Austin's heart sank, and an unreasonable impulse suddenly filled his mind.

— that feeling of being ignored is back.

No matter how he behaves, no matter how good his grades are, the people he tries to prove will never give him a second look!Even... on the day of the additional test, it's fine to beat him up outside the forest farm!

"Yes." Averting his gaze, Austin said indifferently, "Mr. Huang has outstanding abilities. It was my lifelong honor and pride to be able to stay in Special Tactics back then."

"That's right." Cisse said, "Now, tell me everything you know."

Austin took a deep breath, quickly sorted out the set of rhetoric that had been practiced countless times, and then started from the part he heard outside the door during the military exercise last year, and continued to talk about the information stolen from Xifaguang's brain not long ago.

Cisse didn't pay attention to it at first, but when the young student mentioned that "Rex has invited Sifer many times", the smile on his face gradually faded away completely, and his expression turned completely cold.

The astonishment in Feng Chen's heart was also serious. He was not only concerned about the fact that His Highness the Third Highness kept in touch with the Alliance Commander privately, but also cared about Su Shichuan very much.

It is not a secret that Su Shichuan went to the Red Base to rescue the Third Highness that day, and it was precisely because of this incident that Xi Sai became suspicious of his position.Now that the old story is brought up again, and the sensitive word "collaboration with the enemy and treason" is also tainted, it is impossible for Yi Cisse not to think too much!

The boy's voice seemed to be withdrawn suddenly, and the room was eerily quiet.

Feng Chen stared intently at Su Shichuan, expecting him to give him a look, to signal "be safe and don't be impatient", or "don't worry", but Su Shichuan didn't respond at all, as if he completely put himself out of the matter, just He listened objectively, with an indescribable indifference of earnestness.

I don't know how long it took, Austin finished his last sentence, took out a mobile hard disk from his pocket, walked forward, bent down and put it on the coffee table.

The metal hard drive made loud noises, and at this point, the frozen atmosphere in the lounge eased a little.

"Fengchen," Xi Sai said expressionlessly, "find someone to check it immediately, and tell me the result."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Feng Chen picked up the hard drive and led the order to leave the lounge.

Cisse looked at Austin again, with an extremely solemn expression: "It has been nearly half a year since the accident in the military exercise. At that time, those of you who had direct conflicts with the alliance also submitted corresponding reports. Why did you take this matter Did you hide it until now? Did you get threatened by someone?"

"No." Austin denied it categorically, and replied sternly, "At that time, I was outside the door and heard with my own ears that His Royal Highness rejected the alliance's invitation. This matter is of great importance, and I dare not rashly accuse the prince of the empire, so I temporarily Keep it secret and search for evidence when the opportunity arises... including today's raid."

From the beginning to the end, he did not mention Su Shichuan's name, and took all the responsibilities on himself.

Cisse was noncommittal, silent for a long time, and then whispered: "What do you think, Teacher Huang?"

"This matter is really important, and the possibility of the regent being slandered cannot be ruled out." Su Xingchuan said, "I think it is possible to restrict the regent's actions first, but conceal the reason for the restriction, and wait for the interrogation of the admiral Find out and then make a decision.”

"Instructor Huang thinks, in today's Luo Yin Empire, who would have the heart to slander the regent?" Cisse said.

Su Shichuan was silent for a moment, and replied after a while: "I don't know either."

"Then why wait for the results of the interrogation?" Cisse sneered, "Pass my order, the regent Sifa Tranze is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, assassinating the emperor of the empire and his mentor, and temporarily detained in Prison No. [-], waiting for torture."

Su Shichuan frowned slightly, and could hardly suppress the eagerness in his tone: "Your Majesty—!"

"I let you do it, it's already a great way to give the teacher face," Xi Sai reminded patiently, "Why don't you go soon?"

Su Shichuan clasped his fingers tightly, and his nails dug deeply into his palm: "Yes." After speaking, he walked around Austin, opened the door and walked out.

A few minutes later, Cang Xingyun, who was ambushing near the glory of the stars, urgently pressed the headset and asked: "Is there a result?"

"The plan is complete," Su Shichuan said, "Notify the star thief and let him be ready at any time."

"it is good."
