Same light

When the unidentified aircraft approached the military base again, and the imperial warship sent information from the military base again, everyone understood that there was indeed a person on that spaceship passing information to them.

"The ether flow is unstable during the flight. Only when it drops to a certain level can the smooth and stable communication be guaranteed." An officer analyzed, "It just so happens that the communication equipment in the military base is the most high-end, and that person used the other party to spy on our military at close range. The move of the base to transmit information!"

"It's a coincidence," said Alfred, perfunctorily, as if he didn't think it was a "coincidence."

He was looking down at the information in his hand, and this time he sent a description of the other party's civilization - "Federation".

The handwriting on the paper was distorted and scribbled, as if written in a hurry:

"Federal government, a total of 53 star areas, each star area has its own star area council and military area. Among them, the larger star area is equivalent to the size of the entire empire (doubtful). The total population is more than a hundred times that of the empire.

"There was a coup three years ago. The leader who once ruled the Federation was overthrown and died. The fruits of victory were shared by the current leader group. The current president was once one of the key figures during the coup. As president, he won a lot of popular support, but soon withdrew from politics.

"Attention! This person is the leader who was urgently replaced after the Federation discovered the homologous civilization not long ago. He is extremely aggressive, hardliner, and one of the biggest threats. He married the current commander in politics before the coup. Not long ago, the two passed a certain alliance to stabilize the alliance This technology (?) has fathered (?) a son (?). (To be confirmed. Both are male.)

Alfred suddenly couldn't stand it anymore, his eyes lingered between the two phrases "a certain technology" and "had a son", and he couldn't read the content below for a long time.

"Take it and record it."

He simply handed over the paper to the communications officer, forcing a specific topic to get his thoughts back.

"How about the path monitoring?"

"It's still in line with our expectations." The officer next to him answered him, "The other party can see at most one more military base before we meet... Shall we tell that base not to fire?"

Alfred looked up at him and asked, "Why?"

"There is a person up there who took the opportunity to pass it on to us." The officer said subconsciously, "In case of accidental injury or causing the other party's situation, he can't pass the information..."

"Do you think the ceasefire is protecting that person?"

The officer paused, and Alfred said: "The base below must be ready to fire, and there is no stopping."

The next day, on the spaceship.

"Where did you go just now?"

The high priest frowned and looked at Xiu, who raised a reader in his hand.

"I went to a clean place to learn the common language of the Commonwealth for a while."

Joshua glanced at the high priest, then at Xiu, and asked, "Brother, you've been going out to learn their language these days, how are you doing?"

"Some roots seem to be a bit similar to ours—after all, they are ancestors of the same origin, but they have evolved differently." Xiu said calmly, and sat down beside them, "If you want to learn, I can teach you, it's not difficult."

Joshua really expressed his interest, and Xiu called out his notes for him.

Seeing that he had indeed learned a lot of common language of the Commonwealth, the high priest's brows relaxed, and he said half-jokingly: "Next time, don't run around when you enter the atmosphere. It's been several times in a row that I can't find you." .If it weren’t for the military base of the empire still tickling the spaceship as usual, I would have wondered if something went wrong.”

Xiu nodded, as if he didn't take this to heart, and said, "Father, have you communicated with them? We are going back to the third cantilever soon, and the third cantilever is the most suitable direction for us to leave. Are you going to go, or go around and look elsewhere?"

"I persuaded them, and they agreed to leave from the third cantilever and send us to the Federation first. These desperadoes don't know what benefits their president promised. They actually wanted to go again. Let’s take a look at the area.” The high priest shook his head, “Late will change! Although we have a speed advantage, if we continue to circle slowly, the main force of the empire will be able to reach the border! That lunatic Stone, in case the emperor supports If he fights, he can do anything."

Xiu said, "Unless they arrive early and stop us, but we have changed our route so many times, how could they predict our route? Besides, what can Marshal Stone do when he comes? You don't have to worry too much .”

As Xiu said, he lifted up his cuffs to see the time floating on his skin.

"Should... soon." He murmured.

What he said made sense. The high priest was appeased a little, and said with a sigh of relief: "It's really fast. When they leave the border and enter the unexplored area of ​​​​the empire, they will have nothing to do."

The three of them fell into silence, a few confidantes of the Holy White Tower brought out by the high priest knocked on the door and came in once, they were reprimanded by Xiu and kicked out.

He had been crown prince for too long, and he was used to making decisions. The high priest was a little displeased, but he didn't want to conflict with Xiu at this time, so he didn't say anything.

However, Xiu seemed to become a little anxious and began to check the time frequently. Joshua was also a little nervous because of Xiu's infection, and kept asking "how long will it take to reach the border".

The high priest was not very satisfied with the performance of his two sons, and said to them: "Calm down, children, there is still a long way to fly to the Federation. Besides, we have mastered the mature core technology of genetic modification. It is what the Federation wants most! We will be treated like VIPs, so there is nothing to be nervous about!"

"How did my mother die back then?" Xiu asked suddenly.

This question came so abruptly that the high priest was stunned for a while, wondering if he really heard this sentence.

"Disease." Joshua glanced at Xiu dissatisfied, "Why are you talking about this at a time like this?"

"I remember that Joshua's mother also died of dystocia." Xiu insisted on going on for some reason, "Also... the former queen also died of dystocia. When did the empire's dystocia death rate become so high? What's more, Without exception, these women had close contacts with the high priest before they conceived and gave birth to children. Either they were the wives of the high priest, or they conspired with the high priest for ulterior motives..."

"Repair!" The high priest shouted angrily.

"Marshal Stone previously revealed to the Holy Golden Palace that the Bai family's genes are weak and it is difficult to have offspring. You asked for the first daughter of the Stone family to improve your genes. I didn't expect that even she would be difficult to conceive, so you violated the rules and treated her. The transformation was carried out, which led to her death. It is difficult for the first daughter of the Stone family to conceive the Bai family's child, let alone your successor wife, she is forced to conceive through technology before she can give birth—"

"What did you say..."

"I always felt that you were in too much of a hurry to do this matter. Now it seems that the reason why you were so anxious was because Empress Xian desperately needed a child. You wanted to seize this opportunity and let your child go to the When you become a prince, you will find a chance to kill the queen and get rid of the insiders in the future, so that your flesh and blood can ascend to the throne."

"Xiu, what do you mean by saying these words now?"

The high priest stared at Xiu coldly, and Joshua also looked unhappy.

"Because if I don't say some things, I won't have a chance to say them. I don't want to leave with regrets." Xiu said, ignoring the reactions of the two, and sneered, "You know, when I was a child, I was really grateful You. Because of what you said to me, 'a genetic defect can also be an emperor'. How ridiculous, in fact, my genetic defect is caused by you, because you illegally modified my biological mother. And you encouraged and persuaded me , just to persuade me not to carry out the late queen's last wish, not to give up the throne to Alfred... I thought that the warmth I had received was actually all calculations."

The high priest's expression changed, and he was about to speak when suddenly there was a loud bang, and the entire hull shook violently.

The alarm sounded throughout the ship, and the shock was so strong that several people couldn't even sit still, and they all stood up and swayed around and grabbed the tables and chairs. Joshua couldn't help shouting in fear.

In this violent shock, Xiu only felt sick and wanted to vomit.He pressed his heart hard, and there was a photo taken from the Dawn Palace in his close-fitting pocket.

"It's okay, at least... I've had real love."

In this deafening alarm, no one heard this soft whisper.

After saying this, he calmly pulled out the table knife that had been hidden in his sleeve since today's lunch. Amidst the turmoil and crackling, no one thought that he would suddenly attack.

Xiu bullied him, and the high priest staggered back when he sensed something was wrong, but he was old and frail after all, how could he fight against a young man who had been trained in fighting since childhood.Joshua noticed the danger, and it was too late for rescue, so Xiu pushed the high priest down and thrust the table knife into his throat forcefully.
