Counterattack [Interstellar]

Not long after learning the news that Catherine was going to be shot, Alan and Pei Yao received another piece of even more exciting news: His Majesty the Emperor Auston would visit Alan's mansion to visit his youngest son who had been "injured" by him before. .

"Oston may have been stimulated too much recently." Allen shook his head and sighed softly. "I doubt he will bring a nuclear bomb to kill me."

Pei Yao couldn't help laughing: "Please be careful, Your Highness."

"To be honest... this is the first time he has come to my palace." Allen laughed mockingly, "He used to ask me to come over for anything... Forget it, come if you want."

Pei Yao thought for a while and said, "Do I need to prepare anything?"

"Preparing for what?" Allen asked back, "Drum team?"

"Haha..." Edward, who was always reserved and dignified, couldn't hold back his laughter. He was very embarrassed, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I lost my manners, Your Highness."

Pei Yao pretended not to notice very kindly, while Allen smiled and forgave Edward, then turned to Pei Yao and said, "There is no need to prepare anything, but there is one thing you need to cooperate with me."

Pei Yao nodded: "Please tell me."

"No matter what he tells you for a while, don't rush to agree." Allen pursed his lips, "He is here to negotiate terms, you are too soft-hearted, you are not his opponent, you can keep silent when the time is right, no matter what he says ask you."

Pei Yao naturally listened to Alan and agreed, "Please rest assured, I will."

"Also." Alan smiled in his eyes, "I've said it many times, don't talk to me so presumptuously, Major General, everyone in the empire knows that we are already lovers, but you yourself don't have this self-awareness.

Pei Yao looked at Edward with embarrassment, and said bravely, "Yes, Your Highness."

"Tsk..." Allen was helpless, "You should call me Allen, or something more intimate. Forget it, you probably still aren't used to it, so change it slowly."

Pei Yao nodded as if he had been pardoned.

Not long after, Oston's aircraft landed on the square outside the palace. Oston hadn't rested well for the past two days, and his face was very bad. He was obviously still angry, but he saw Alan's still purple neck and The scabbed corners of his mouth are hard to say much, after all, he was the one who made the first move and made Allen look bad, so he was always a little bit wrong.

Allen looked at Oston's defensive eyes and was amused, afraid that he would turn over old scores?

"I just suffered a little injury. I didn't expect you to come to see me in person. I'm very terrified, Your Majesty." Alan bowed slightly and smiled gracefully, "Please come in."

No matter how much he wanted the other party to die in private, he still had to save each other some face in front of outsiders. Auston was satisfied with Alan's knowledge, nodded and took the lead to enter the gate of the palace.

Edward specially tidied up the small entertainment room on the third floor to entertain Auston. The carpets and drapes in the room were replaced with new ones, and the gilded vase in the middle of the tea table was also filled with hydrangeas picked from the garden. Auston took a sip of tea from the exquisite teacup, and Allen didn't treat him slowly, which made him feel a little better.

"You should know?" Alston put down his teacup, "about the execution of Lady Catherine."

The two of them kept silent about what they had done before, and Alan nodded lazily: "I see, to be honest, I am a little surprised. Although crimes do exist, the empire always treats guides who break the law. There is a lot of tolerance, and the sentence will be directly executed by shooting..." Allen smiled with a half-smile: "You are really resolute this time."

Catherine committed more than one or two incidents. Someone came forward to report the incident on the second day. If there is any delay, there will probably be a second or third one. The White Tower cannot bear so much negative news, Oss Dun couldn't stand it even more, so he quickly cut the mess before the matter had a greater impact, quickly sentenced Catherine, and used her blood to calm the anger of the people.

Auston knew that he couldn't hide it from Allen, so he didn't bother to cover it up. He nodded and said, "Yes, someone has to take the responsibility. Mrs. Catherine has failed my expectations. Haha, don't look at me like that. Mrs. Catherine has been a little arrogant over the years. Yes, I know, and I know about Bettina's conspiracy with her, but I really don't know about her privately seducing the guide and arranging a blind date." Auston narrowed his eyes slightly, and took a long breath: "If you know... ...I will never tolerate her until now."

"But now you know." Allen tapped on the table and said lightly, "I think this incident can probably make you make up your mind to further rectify and reform the Wizard Academy."

Auston looked at Allen vigilantly: "What do you mean? Allen... Giving you an Alice is my bottom line, don't try to reach out to the White Tower anymore."

Oston would never even think about letting Alan manage the single guide of the entire empire, Alan sneered: "You think too much, I have a proposal here, I hope you can consider it."

Alan introduced to Auston the proposal that he had discussed with Pei Yao to allow Cecilia's guide not to attend the blind date banquet, but to graduate directly. Before Auston could express his opinion, Alan said: "This is Pei It was proposed by Major General Yao."

Auston was going to refuse without even thinking about it, but he hesitated after hearing the last sentence, and said, "Please introduce the details...I'll think about it."

Allen frowned slightly, and his previous doubts came to mind again... Why is Auston so tolerant of Pei Yao?

Although he loves to be jealous, Allen knew that Auston could not have any ulterior motives for Pei Yao, otherwise he would not have sent Pei Yao to his two sons again and again, but other than this What could it be?Pei Yao is actually Auston's illegitimate son?This is even more impossible, not to mention that the time is wrong, Alan has seen the photos of his parents in Pei Yao's collection before, Pei Yao and his father are almost carved out of the same mold, the problem of blood must not exist.

Or, Orston was in love with one of Pei Yao's parents before?Pei Yao's mother is a very good guide, and she looks very charming... But it doesn't make sense. According to Auston's temper, he would probably snatch her away directly. How could he endure her being marked by others and give birth to What about Pei Yao?

Allen suppressed his confusion temporarily, and told Orston the details that he had discussed with Pei Yao before. Auston showed hesitation, obviously hesitating.

"There have been vicious accidents in the White Tower again and again. The guides and the people need us to take some practical and effective measures, not just to vent our anger for everyone. Killing Catherine makes people feel very happy, but after that? New The dean will take over, and everything will remain as usual before long." Allen spoke sharply and aggressively, "The system remains the same, and things will still happen if someone is replaced."

Alston frowned and reprimanded: "Anyone can say high-sounding words, but have you ever thought about the difficulties in actual operation? Do you know how many people's interests will be involved in this? Shaking the recognized system of acquiescence that has existed for centuries, It is bound to cause a series of adverse reactions, have you considered these?"

"The ailment is hard to get rid of, so you have to indulge it all the time? It's not that you don't care about this, but every time you think of the troubles behind it, you get scared." Allen poked Oston's sore spot every sentence, "how much Regimes have all failed because those in power are weak and unwilling to touch long-standing problems."

"If you must follow in their footsteps, then I have nothing to say." Allen shook his head and smiled: "A huge empire is going to die of the emperor's procrastination."

"What did you say?!" Oston endured a few times, but was still aroused by Allen, and slapped the table angrily, "Is the injury on your face healed?! Do you owe me to educate you again? "

"Your Majesty." Pei Yao, who had been silent for a long time, interrupted suddenly, "You promised me before that you would never do anything to Your Highness again. I hope you can keep your promise."

Looking at Pei Yao's calm face, Oston lost his temper instantly when he remembered what he had promised Pei Yao before. He picked up his teacup and drank it down in one gulp, waving his hands impatiently: "Okay, keep talking..."

The problem of guides has become more and more acute in the past two years. It's not that Auston doesn't pay attention to it. Allen continued the topic just now, and then Pei Yao told Auston some of his reform opinions on the existing system of the White Tower. The three of them had a rare meeting. After discussing calmly for half a day, Auston finally ordered Pei Yao to sort out the final resolutions of several people and prepare to send them to the parliament for further review.

"The official business is over, and it's time to talk about private matters." Oston looked at Allen, "Bettina...she will pay a large amount of fines for this incident, and her father and brother will also hand over all their money. Jun Quan, you should be satisfied with this result, right?"

Before Allen could speak, Oston said: "Allen, don't push yourself too hard. I endured your act of killing relatives because this report did bring out a lot of problems. How much trouble have you caused me this time? You know it in your heart, accept it when you see it, don't force me to settle old scores with you."

Allen sneered: "Your Majesty, I have to correct you. Bettina is your mistress, not mine. She has nothing to do with me, so please don't use the words of killing relatives. If you must characterize this matter If it's just my stress reaction after being hurt, you don't need to threaten me, I said, next time, my revenge will only be crazier, if your mistress is not afraid, you can try again, I am always waiting. "

Orston tried to comfort himself, not to be angry with Allen, which would only make him manic a few more times, Orston nodded: "Okay, pretend I didn't say it... I have another thing to inform you today."

"There will be another dinner in the Everta Palace in a few days." Alan refused, and Oston said directly, "Bettina won't come, it's just a purely family banquet that only the royal family will attend. When the time comes, you and Pei Yao They're all coming...I don't want to see any more news about royal feuds, understand?"

Auston wanted to restore the image of the royal family in the eyes of the public. Alan knew in his heart that his goal today had been achieved, and he didn't care about meeting Auston's small request. He nodded: "Okay, the major general and I will go of."
