Counterattack [Interstellar]

"Your Highness, the second space jump is over." Allen's etiquette officer performed a simple physical examination for Allen, and whispered after a while, "All indicators are normal... Your Highness, just now Admiral Balck contacted Passed us, because we didn’t receive the communication in the jump, contact the general now?”

Allen put down his rolled up cuffs and nodded slightly. Not long after, Balk's holographic image appeared in the cabin. Balk glanced at Allen and said, "Just did a space jump?"

Allen nodded, and Balk said: "Your Majesty forgot to give you my work report, I will pass it on to you in a while, and I will arrive at Tara in a few hours, take this time to familiarize yourself with the situation there .”

The physical dizziness after the space jump has not dissipated, Allen said in a lazy voice, slightly nodding: "I'm sorry for you."

Balk frowned and looked at Alan, hesitated for a moment and said, "You and Pei Yao..."

"Huh?" Allen became sober in an instant, raised his eyes and frowned, "What's wrong with Pei Yao?"

Balk laughed: "What can you do? You blackmailed two teams of imperial guards from His Majesty, and transferred a whole regiment from me to guard Alice. Now Alice's security is stricter than Everta Palace, you What else is there to worry about?"

Allen laughed at himself, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "If you care about it, you will be chaotic."

"I want to ask you..." Balke changed from his usual bluntness and whispered after a long time, "Pei Yao...has he marked you?"

Balk smiled wryly and waved his hand: "I just asked His Majesty, and he showed me the daily records submitted to him by the servants in your palace. You are in the same room almost every night, but I know that you two are loving, maybe Just resting in one place, this kind of thing is not good, I have no choice but to ask you."

Allen is helpless, this is the bad thing about being the crown prince. After the canonization ceremony, the servants around him need to do half more work. It is not counting to record his daily life every day, and even record which room he sleeps in at night. Ai Lun smiled: "I told them a long time ago that they don't need to remember these things, and Pei Yao and I can't have children, so what's the point of memorizing them as usual?"

"The newborn royal family must undergo strict blood identification. What's the use of just recording the date? The meaning of recording your daily life is not here. This is an important way for His Majesty to know whether the relationship between the prince and the prince is harmonious." Balk shook his head. "Whoever tells you this will ask you if you marked it or not!"

Allen couldn't, so he said: "Not yet."

"Not yet?" Balk frowned, "You are together every day..."

"Really not." Allen smiled, "Although it's a bit troublesome at ordinary times, it's important not to establish a final mark in this case, isn't it? It's really marked, and it's impossible for me to be separated from him like this. "

Balk sighed: "I knew it, otherwise you would always take him with you, Alan, what are you thinking?"

Allen laughed: "What happened to you today?"

Balk frowned and looked at Allen, and said in a deep voice, "You really think I don't know why you have to go to Tara?"

Alan's heart moved, he turned his head and glanced at his etiquette officer. The etiquette officer knew it and said, "I will take care of the outside for you, please rest assured."

The etiquette officer retreated, and Balk asked: "I just thought of it just now. You go there because you think Pei Xuan has been hiding there all these years."

Allen didn't answer, and Balk rubbed his face irritably: "Why didn't I think of it before..."

"I'm not sure, I just think it's possible." Allen pursed his lower lip and said cautiously, "Pei Xuan has always been in touch with the Star Bandit. I thought he probably lived around like the Star Bandit before, but carefully Thinking about it is very unrealistic. According to what Benjamin said before, he has a lot of people under him. It is not easy to wander and reproduce in the interstellar with such a large number of people, and they have special identities, so it is impossible to settle anywhere openly. , the most reasonable thing is to live on this planet on the edge of the empire, where the system is not perfect, the terrain is complex, and it is not difficult to settle down."

The more Balk listened, the more annoyed he became. He interrupted Allen and said, "Since you know, what are you doing here?! Pei Xuan knew you were coming, and he was the first to kill you! Forget it, I'll come back instead of you." ...Pei Xuan probably hates me too, but he probably still remembers some of my old feelings, so he won't do anything to me..."

"You stayed in Tara for several months before, and Pei Xuan didn't contact you." Allen said calmly, "So it's the same when you come again. Besides, this is just my guess. Pei Xuan may not be here. Even now, I don't think he can kill me."

"You have seen Pei Yao's skill before. His father's skill is even better than him, and Pei Xuan is best at assassination." Balck looked at Alan worriedly, "Alan... you this time Really playing with fire."

Ai Lun smiled lightly: "It's nothing. As early as I knew that Pei Xuan was still alive, I knew that sooner or later I would meet him face to face. Pei Yao has always missed his parents very much. I also want to let him see him after the problem is solved." Meet his parents."

"Solution?" Balk smiled wryly, "How to solve it? You are His Majesty's son, what problem do you think Pei Xuan can solve with you calmly?"

"I wasn't born when Auston killed him, so what does it matter to me?" Allen smiled at Balker, "Speaking of which, what does it have to do with me not marking Pei Yao?"

Balk sighed: "If he knows that you and Pei Yao have established a bond, he will never attack you again...he will always be concerned about his son."

Ai Lun smiled: "That's a good way, okay, I promise you, if it really comes to a critical moment, I will lie to Pei Xuan that Pei Yao has marked me."

"Do you think you can hide it?" Balk glanced at Allen worriedly, "Don't underestimate Pei Xuan."

Alan reassured: "Don't worry about this, I brought enough troops this time, enough to allow me to resist any form of attack, and it's still unknown whether Pei Xuan is on Tara, and I don't know if I can find him .”

Balk nodded: "I haven't noticed anything unusual in Tara for several months, so it can be seen that he hides himself very well."

Balck was still worried about Allen, and asked him carefully for a long time before hanging up the communication.

After a while, Balck's work report was transmitted, Allen turned on the display, and a strange scene appeared in front of Allen...

Due to the frequent crustal movement hundreds of millions of years ago, the Tara star has formed a landform with many hills and valleys. After hundreds of millions of years of friction and extrusion of the several major plates of the star, the mountains collapsed into the seabed, and the trenches were inserted into the mountains. There are very few flat places, and almost all are covered by bottomless mountain passes, and the Tara people live in these mountain crevices where there is no sunlight all day long.

After watching the videos, Allen understands why he heard people say that the Tara Stars are "people who live underground". They built roads underground to connect the various mountain passes and canyons. There are special circumstances, otherwise they may not come up to the ground for a lifetime... Of course, it may also be to avoid the excessive radiation on the surface of the sun. The stratosphere of Tara star has a barren atmosphere, which cannot protect the people on the ground very well.

Allen gradually understood why the people of the Tara star did not want the people of the main star to build a factory here. The terrain here is too special. Once the ore mining starts, the surrounding miles may be affected. At that time, accidents will occur frequently, even if their houses are protected. The cover is also in danger of being buried deep in the ground and never coming out again, not to mention that there are more people here who cannot afford the protective cover.

Allen called up another image. This is the night scene of Tara Star. Tara Star has twelve natural satellites. At night, there are twelve moons above the sky. The moonlight passes through the mountain gorge and through the jagged stone walls , and finally shines on the underground liverwort plants, emitting a shining light.

Alan took a deep breath, and suddenly regretted not bringing Pei Yao along.

"Send this image to the princess." Allen turned to look at the etiquette officer, "By the way, tell him that I miss him very much and let him take care of himself."
