[Interstellar] The king who doesn't want to return

The captain's cabin of the Orisian.

"What did you say? Father died?" Leo Lins opened his eyes wide, looking incredible. The carpet next to him was already soaked in red wine, and the snacks were spilled all over the floor.

"Yes... yes." The adjutant looked at him tremblingly, his whole body trembling slightly. Obviously, the news of the emperor's death hit him hard.

"Block the news first." After a long time, Lei Ao managed to calm down, and said slowly, word by word.

"Yes, only Your Highness and I know about it at the moment." The adjutant answered calmly.

"Okay." Leo nodded, and said after a while of silence, "Father's health is not good, but didn't the doctors all say that there is no problem if it takes another year or two? Why is it so sudden?"

"This..." The adjutant hesitated for a moment, but did not answer immediately.

"Say!" Leo slapped the table heavily.

"Yes!" The adjutant gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, "I heard... His Majesty died of poisoning..."

"What?" Leo couldn't help being stunned, even more surprised when he heard the news of the emperor's death.

He knew how much his father was afraid of death, not to mention someone being assassinated, but poisoning... All the food and daily necessities used by the emperor, even a grain of rice, a drop of water, and a thread had to go through several strict inspections. There is absolutely no possibility of poisoning. Just attending some balls, conferences, etc., the venue, including every guest attending, will be inspected equally. No one has the chance to bring poison in. How on earth...how did father Poisoned?

"Although it's just a rumor, the imperial capital has already started martial law and entered a state of first-level combat readiness." The adjutant continued, "It's just a guess, if it wasn't because His Majesty was poisoned and died and the imperial capital was closed to search for assassins, then..."

Hearing this, Lei Ao's eyes froze, and a gloomy coldness flashed across his eyes.

Although I have military power at present, I am deeply involved in the federal territory, and I cannot escape for a while. Now there are eight royal children who are qualified to inherit in the imperial capital. Excluding a few young ones and those who have basically faded out of the circle of power, the most competitive There are two candidates, the second princess Elise and the fifth prince Sauron.

In comparison, Elise is much better than Sauron in every aspect. Although she is a woman, sometimes Leo has to admire her sister, she is indeed his worst enemy!

Of course, Leo is still very confident about the throne. After all, he is not weaker than Elise in all aspects, and men also have advantages over women, not to mention that he occupies the title of the first heir.But...why at this time!

Now that he is not in the imperial capital, if Elise joins forces with the remaining officials of the imperial capital to ascend to the throne on the grounds that "a country cannot live without a king", then it will be a bit embarrassing for her to lead the army outside.

What if Elise ordered his military power to be confiscated?

Even if the emperor was not in the imperial capital when he died, and the next best thing was to let Elise succeed him, but the throne is not a child's play, you can change someone if you say that, even if he goes back, he will not be able to ascend the throne justifiably.

How to do?

Leo felt troubled, so why don't he go back... His worries are definitely not superfluous.But if he returns to the imperial capital immediately, seeing that now is a great opportunity to conquer the Federation in one fell swoop and achieve eternal achievements, if he gives up, he will really not be reconciled.

"Your Highness, what should we do?" the adjutant asked.

I still want to ask what to do!Leo glared at him fiercely, panted heavily, turned around, saw several empty glasses on the table, got angry, and slapped them over, suddenly, there was a "cracking" sound, and the glass shattered all over the floor.

"My condolences, Your Highness." The adjutant said cautiously.

"Get out!" Leo pointed to the hatch.

"But..." the adjutant moved his lips, a little hesitant.

"Let me think about it, get out!" Leo said angrily.

"Ah, yes!" The adjutant was taken aback and hurried out.

"Wow~" There was another sound of shattering vessels.

Leo almost smashed everything in the room, panting heavily, with a hideous expression on his face.

"Damn it!" The two words of gnashing teeth dissipated in the air.

At the same time, Tu Hong and others on the Anyuan received the news almost at the same time, and the control room of the main ship cheered.

Although it was more difficult for Tang Rui in the imperial capital to send the news than Lei Ao, but after confirming that Su Yingtang had successfully administered the medicine, he immediately sent the news through the internal line arranged by Zuo Shaobai, a full day earlier.

As for the possibility that the emperor didn't die, Tang Rui didn't want to think about this kind of accident anymore. Anyway, it was a desperate fight, and it would be good if it didn't succeed.What's more, under the pressure of Leo, the federal fleet has already retreated into the country in order to preserve its strength. At this time, it is really necessary to have some good news to cheer up people's hearts, otherwise, before being defeated by the enemy, your own military spirit must first collapsed.

"Don't get too excited." Tu Hong calmed down, finally not being overwhelmed by the excitement.

After a while, the noise in the control room slowly subsided.

"The emperor of the empire is dead. I believe that Leo who is on the opposite side has also received the news." Tu Hong coughed twice to call everyone's attention, and then said, "Leo will have two choices, retreat— — That’s exactly what we hoped for, but everyone, don’t forget, he still has another choice. Put all his eggs in one basket and take down the Federation, whether it’s bringing this kind of great credit back to the imperial capital, or simply occupying the capital star to stand on his own, There is room for maneuver.”

"Well, pay attention to his counterattack when he dies." Zhao Min also nodded.

"However, this period of time will not be very long." Tu Hong's eyes swept over everyone's faces one by one, and said slowly, "As long as we can withstand this wave of attacks, let him realize that it is not necessary to take down the entire Federation." He can only choose to retreat if it happens for a while."

"Yes!" Everyone agreed in unison, their voices full of confidence.

A remnant army, a mob, although retreating step by step, has never been defeated. It has blocked the imperial army for so long. Is it still short of the last moment?At least, now everyone can see the dawn not far away, it is not a darkness with bleak future.

"Tu Shuai, I don't know what happened to the captain and the others?" The people in the control room were the core of this army, Feng Lang was not afraid to ask directly.

"The assassination of the emperor went relatively smoothly, and they are fine now." Tu Hong's face darkened slightly.

"That's good." Feng Lang let out a breath slowly.

"However, the really harsh battle is just beginning now..." Tu Hong whispered in a low voice that even Zhao Min beside him couldn't hear clearly.

And at this time, far away in the imperial capital...

Tang Rui stood in front of the French windows on the [-]th floor of the Imperial Hotel, watching groups of heavily armed soldiers passing by on the street, with hardly any pedestrians in sight.

"Senior, the whole city is under martial law." Zhou Yuze walked behind him.

"Have they all gone back?" Tang Rui asked.

"Except for us, everyone else has returned to the spaceship." Zhou Yuze replied.

"Very well, let them stay still for now." Tang Rui nodded.

"It will be discovered." Zhou Yuze frowned.

Although the ruins are hidden, they are only used for normal times, but now that the imperial capital is under martial law, according to this search speed, their spaceship will definitely be found within three days.

"It's okay, I will say hello to Elise, I believe she will save face." Tang Rui smiled.

How to put it, Elise doesn't seem like she just wants to do business with them in this way, so she won't let the two parties get down too much, as long as she knows that there is the hiding place of their smuggling boat, I believe she will understand .

After all, no one would have guessed that the assassin who poisoned the emperor was hiding on the spaceship...

"And..." Zhou Yuze paused, and then said, "The empire has issued an arrest warrant for Major Su."

"As expected." Tang Rui hooked the corners of his lips, unmoved.

The unlucky Duke Solov is still hanged by the doctor because of his high physical fitness and the small dose of poison he took, but he is not far from death. Su Yingtang's shot must be a masterpiece, and ordinary doctors are helpless .However, it is certain that the poison in Duke Solov is the same as that of His Majesty the Emperor. Such a comparison can easily make people think of the familiar dance partner brought by Duke Solov, and then check... If the origin is unknown, then there is no doubt.

However, although the empire issued an arrest warrant, it was also embarrassing.

Su Yingtang is also a soldier, even if he is a military doctor, his professional quality is top-notch. In addition, Tang Rui has found out all the surveillance locations before, and he never let his face be photographed by the camera from the beginning to the end of the whole dance. The security department discovered this when they checked the video, so they could only look for people who had seen Su Yingtang embarrassingly, and restore it through dictation and photos of various silhouettes—of course, only God knows how similar they are.

"Won't they find us?" Zhou Yuze asked doubtfully.

"Just delay for a while." Tang Rui said indifferently, "When we establish a solid alliance with Her Royal Highness, it will be fine for her to find out that the poisoning was actually caused by us, and it will even be exposed that we are the federal special warfare team. It doesn't matter."

"Then won't Elise deal with us?" Zhou Yuze hesitated.

"Xiao Zhou, you don't understand the nobles of the empire." Tang Rui couldn't help laughing, "In their view, the throne is the most important thing. If there is no threat from Leo, of course she won't mind killing us As a feat, but now, hehe, for the sake of the throne, she would rather choose to cooperate with the enemy, anyway, we are in the imperial capital, and there will be opportunities to clean up afterwards, right?"

"Since senior said so, there must be a way to escape." Zhou Yuze didn't look worried, his eyes were full of trust.

"Hehe." Tang Rui touched his nose, turned around, looked at him, and said seriously, "So, remember two things."

"Yeah." Before hearing what was going on, Zhou Yuze complied.

"First, we can reveal our identities, but the names of you, me, and Su Yingtang must not be revealed." Tang Rui said, holding up a finger.

"Yes." Zhou Yuze understood the reason very well.

"Secondly, I asked Lan Yao to make you a fake space key, just a layer of copper skin and no weight." Tang Rui said.

"I understand." Zhou Yuze was stunned for a moment before he suddenly understood.

"Chenxi's mustard space is related to our victory and escape in the end." Tang Rui said with a smile.

"Then what are we going to do now?" Zhou Yuze tilted his head.

"Wait." Tang Rui didn't hesitate.

"Wait..." Zhou Yuze wanted to ask "what are you waiting for" at first, but when the words came to his mouth, he thought about it, swallowed it again, thought it over carefully, and said tentatively, "Wait for Leo Lins to return to the army ?”

"Not bad." Tang Rui rubbed his head in relief, and gave him a rewarding kiss, which was light and without a trace of eroticism.

"Ahem." Zhou Yuze blushed and leaned back.

"The problem now... I just hope that Tu Shuai and the others can survive Lei Ao's last counterattack." Tang Rui let go of him, with a faint solemnity on his brows, "This battle is not easy to fight, but we can't help , can only wait."

"I will win." Zhou Yuze said seriously.

"You have more confidence than me." Tang Rui laughed.
