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

After leaving the imperial concubine's mansion, Tang Rui still looked heartless, and he didn't want the unlucky driver to take them back to the Imperial Hotel, but just walked slowly along the empty street.

"Senior, what the princess asked for..." Zhou Yuze walked quickly a few steps, walking side by side with him, with a slight look of worry flashing across his face.

"Calm down." Tang Rui put a hand on his shoulder, squinted his eyes and smiled, "It's just a normal request."

"Normal?" Zhou Yuze was slightly taken aback.

"The information compiled by that guy Zuo Shaobai has always been [-]% true and [-]% false..." Tang Rui said leisurely.

Zhou Yuze's eyes flashed, and he said in surprise: "Senior, you mean that the identity of the smuggling group we use is real?"

"Of course." Tang Rui shrugged and said with a low smile, "And...if I'm not mistaken, this identity is controlled by Zuo Shaobai, otherwise how can he guarantee that the original owner will not appear during this period? Disrupt our plans?"

"Major General Zuo is secretly controlling the smuggling group?" Zhou Yuze opened his eyes wide with an expression of disbelief.

"Why are you so shocked?" Tang Rui curled his lips, and said indifferently, "How do you think the intelligence department operates? Wearing a uniform and holding a work card to ask, others will tell you the information? The intelligence department... But a legal Work that uses various illegal and criminal means.”

"But..." Zhou Yuze always felt that there was something wrong with what he said, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Don't think too much, just do what you should do." Tang Rui took his hand and shook it firmly.

"I see." Zhou Yuze nodded.

"As for Zuo Shaobai..." Tang Rui thought for a while, then laughed again, "Don't worry about him, when he was in the Military Academy, he was responsible for finding loopholes in the school regulations."

"..." Zhou Yuze was speechless, and really wanted to say that senior is really not something worth showing off, okay?

"Are you hungry?" Tang Rui asked.

"A little bit." Zhou Yuze rubbed his belly.

"It's already ordered, and Her Royal Highness didn't say that I would like to invite you for lunch. You are stingy." Tang Rui curled his lips, and he did not know where to find a box of sesame cakes and stuffed them in his hands. Go eat a big meal."

"Big meal?" Zhou Yuze was taken aback. He didn't think that Tang Rui would appear with him on some high-profile occasions at this sensitive time. It should be...someone is going to be unlucky again!

Thinking he had figured it out, the boy gave a calm "hmm", opened the paper box, picked up a piece of sesame cake and took a bite.

Even if it's a big meal, in case something doesn't suit your appetite... So, it's better to eat half full first!

However, in the end Zhou Yuze still overestimated Tang Rui's lower limit——

"Here?" Zhou Yuze looked at the familiar scene in front of him, feeling a bit of a psychological gap.

Even if Tang Rui took him to the revolving restaurant on the top floor of the Imperial Hotel to make a high-profile announcement that he proposed marriage, he was already mentally prepared, but... Does the storage room of the speakeasy meet the standard of a "big meal"?

The receptionist was still the bartender from last time. Although his face was a little more dignified, he was worthy of being trained by Zuo Shaobai. Even if the imperial capital was under martial law, this stronghold was still in good order.

"The situation outside is terrible." The bartender said in a deep voice, placing a plate of sandwiches and two glasses of boiled water on the small table.

"Oh?" Tang Rui raised his eyebrows, waiting for him to speak.

Zhou Yuze took a sandwich and ate it slowly, as if listening in.

"There is news that His Royal Highness has returned to the army." The bartender's words were full of blood.

"Sure enough." Tang Rui sneered, not too surprised.

For Leo and Elise, the throne is the most important thing. Leo Lins is not so courageous in such things as conquering the Federation and becoming king.

Speaking of which, the last time they killed the third prince Altrins on Earth, they did a great favor to these two.After all, the third prince is favored by the old emperor, and his family is also powerful, so he is a very strong competitor. If the third prince is still in the capital and argues with Elise first, it will buy time for Leo , he may not be willing to withdraw immediately.

"The second princess knows it, right?" Tang Rui said.

"Of course, even I got the news." The bartender smiled.

It is also common for royal families to plant dark lines around each other, not to mention that Leo has brought so many fleets and retreated such a big matter, how could it be possible to hide it from Elise.

"Senior." Zhou Yuze drank some water to moisten his throat, and called out.

"I know." Tang Rui nodded, pondered for a while, and said, "The imperial capital will soon be involved in a civil war, do you want to avoid it?"

"Don't worry, I know it well." The bartender curled his lips and said calmly, "Your task seems to be going well now, but it can't stand up to scrutiny. It's just that no one thought of scrutinizing you at this time, but It is easy to be found out afterwards, and there are many tails left, and sooner or later they will be found on my head."

"I'm so sorry." Tang Rui shrugged, but his tone was insincere.

"When you leave the imperial capital, I will also close the transfer of this stronghold." The bartender replied.

"Aren't you going to retreat with us?" Tang Rui said.

"I don't want to court death, thank you." The bartender replied very frankly.

"Hey, are you cursing us?" Tang Rui squinted at him dissatisfied.

"Master Marshal is joking." The bartender's face remained unchanged.

"Hehe..." After a while, Tang Rui laughed softly, "It seems that you really guessed how I left the empire."

"So, forgive me if I don't accompany you, and I can't." The bartender acquiesced.

"You are pretty good, I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future." Tang Rui said, turning around, "Are you full?"

"Yeah." Zhou Yuze couldn't help making a black line.

"Then let's go." Tang Rui took a sandwich and walked out.

"Thank you." Zhou Yuze thanked him solemnly.I just don't know whether he thanked the sandwich or something else.

Leaving the stronghold through the secret passage, Tang Rui's expression was still a little sad.

"Senior?" Zhou Yuze called him curiously, a little hesitant.

"He is a man with a story." Tang Rui said.

"En." Zhou Yuze nodded.

Such a person, to be a small spy is really a little inferior. I don't know where Zuo Shaobai found it.

Enmity with the empire—however, everyone has their own unknown past. They meet by chance, maybe there will be no future, and after a little regret, they will forget about it.

"Senior, what are you going to do with that 'normal' request from the princess?" Zhou Yuze asked.

"Right now, about half of the power in the imperial capital is controlled by Elise, and [-]% is relatively scattered, including the people left behind by Leo, and the remaining [-]%—" Tang Rui counted and wrenched his fingers.

"The fifth prince is a variable." Zhou Yuze excused, but the next moment, he frowned slightly, "The second prince hopes that the fifth prince will join her and control the imperial capital as quickly as possible and at the least cost, but... we What can be done?"

"Don't think too much, that woman Elise is very smart. How can such a matter of life and death really place hope on us two outsiders." Tang Rui smiled, holding a sandwich in one hand and biting it, while pulling her He walked away, "It's just that because of the battle for the throne, Elise and Sauron have always had a bad relationship. Even if they want to join forces, they still hope for a lubricant, don't they?"

"Us?" Zhou Yuze asked.

"Harmony makes money." Tang Rui laughed.

At this moment, in the distance, a group of imperial guards rushed over murderously, and the few pedestrians on the road also hurriedly dodged aside.

Tang Rui's face darkened, and he quickly pulled Zhou Yuze back to a cafe on the side of the road.

Even with Elise taking care of him overtly and secretly, it would be unwise to run into the guards. After all, there is still the captain Aiwen who knows Ye Ling.However, the Imperial Guard acted like this, could something have happened?

However, soon, they knew what had happened——

Duke Solov, the unlucky ghost who was used to poison, although he lasted a few days longer than the emperor because of the dosage, he still got poisoned. , The public channels in the square began to broadcast dirges, and the news channels were also aimed at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, where there were crowds of reporters and media.

However, Tang Rui still felt something was wrong.

Although the death of Duke Solov is a major event, it is not enough to alert the imperial guards to seal the road. Could it be...

Tilting his head, he and Zhou Yuze exchanged a glance, both of them saw a trace of understanding in each other's eyes.

Su Yingtang...the incident happened!

Sure enough, after expressing deep condolences to Duke Solov, the press conference of the official media of the empire issued a composite photo of the murderer suspect.

Su Yingtang was indeed very careful. Not only did he not show his face to the camera during the dance, but even the public cameras on the street usually noticed it.So much so that the empire’s task force can only synthesize a rough figure based on various silhouettes and backs. As for the face... How can I say that when Su Yingtang seduced Duke Solov, he went out in pairs for several days. A lot of them can only be restored as much as possible through the dictation of each person, and it was not completed until this time.

"How?" Tang Rui raised an eyebrow.

"Seven points." Zhou Yuze said softly.

Tang Rui nodded, noncommittal.

When Su Yingtang seduced Duke Solov, he had slightly covered it up with make-up, and with the misty dictation, it was not easy to be [-]% similar.I believe that if Su Yingtang was on the street at this time, nine out of ten he would be recognized.

"Fortunately let them go first." Zhou Yuze let out a breath.

"That's the marshal's clever plan to predict the enemy's first opportunity." Tang Rui let out a muffled laugh, and got a blank stare.

However, Zhou Yuze did not refute his words. If Su Yingtang, Lan Yao and the others hadn't been decisive to evacuate immediately, if they were still in the imperial capital at this time, they would be in serious trouble.If you really want to search, a smuggling spaceship will definitely not be able to hide. Her Royal Highness has helped a lot, but don’t you know that they are the murderers who poisoned her father...

While they were talking, three teams of imperial guards had already passed by.

Tang Rui simply pulled him to find a place by the window where he could see the giant TV screen on the outer wall of the opposite building, and ordered two cups of coffee and a fruit plate.

The waiter took a weird look at the half-bitten sandwich in his hand, and walked away silently with the order.
