Assassin [ABO]

In the dark corridor, the lingering atmosphere of gunpowder smoke could still be felt. Wearing a pheromone isolation suit, Shen Xiuyun restrained his breath, and walked to the door of the base control room, but did not go in directly. He looked at the man in the black military uniform without saying a word.

The military uniform of the Interstellar Empire is uniform dark green, but Lorgar is wearing black today. Shen Xiuyun remembers the day when he escaped from Meizuo base many years ago, which coincided with the National Day of the Empire.He met Joshua, sat in his car, saw the seventh prince in a black military uniform through wireless TV, and recognized him as a person from the previous life at a glance.

Why on earth would you recognize him?Is it just because they look the same?

Thinking back now, Shen Xiuyun realized that perhaps all he was familiar with was the temperament of this person.Those dark and deep eyes, although with a slight smile in the noisy crowd, were not festive at all, but cold, lonely, and deep, containing unspeakable ambition, as well as anger and anger that had been suppressed for a long time. Unwilling, almost exactly the same as the Seventh Highness in the previous life.

He lost his mother since he was a child, and he has strong brothers and heirs. The same situation has created the same temperament.Dressed in black just to commemorate the death anniversary of his deceased mother, the white rose on his chest unscrupulously challenged the old emperor's bottom line. He could bear it, but he was also arrogant. At that time, Lorgar had already become dangerous. If there were no subsequent accidents and entanglements, Shen Xiuyun can be sure that he will still become the ruthless seventh prince in his previous life, and get rid of everyone who dares to block his way to the throne until he reaches the top.

But due to some inexplicable reasons, the Seventh Prince from the previous life came back.

However, Shen Xiuyun didn't know him a little bit.

With more and more strangeness, Shen Xiuyun's interest in him is increasing day by day, and he often thinks of this person inadvertently.Now that he is qualified to play chess with him, he is no longer just a pawn in his hand, so he is always curious, wondering what kind of ingenious chess game he will arrange next, and invite him to join in the game.

Probably feeling something, Lorgar, who had been turning his back to the door, turned slightly.

Shen Xiuyun's eyes moved slightly, and suddenly he turned his wrist, holding a sharp metal blade between his fingers, and threw it at Lorgar mercilessly.

Lorgar's turning movement was interrupted, and he immediately dodged to the side. The blade spun out through the air, slashed dangerously close to his arm, and nailed deeply into the opposite wall without any ambiguity, making a "ding" sound.

"Xiuyun, is this how you receive visitors from afar?" Lorgar was not annoyed, he patted the sleeve of his uniform that was cut by the blade, and turned around with a smile.

Out of habit, Shen Xiuyun thought that he would see Lorgar's crooked eyes that were always smiling, and those black pupils that were rare in the Star Empire just like himself.However, when Lorgar turned around completely in the end, he only saw those pair of eyes gently closed, and all the ridicule, jokes, and schemes were gently covered up, invisible, and could no longer be seen, leaving only a touch of gentleness on his lips. radians.

"His Royal Highness Seventh's skill is still as good as before." Shen Xiuyun glanced at Lorja and said calmly.

In fact, this kind of hospitality is no stranger to Lorgar.Shen Xiuyun was an assassin back then, Lorgar found his secluded wooden house, and every time he came, he had to pick up hidden weapons. From the initial bruises all over his body to the final coping with ease, coupled with the gift of good wine, he finally became the most powerful man in the world. A frequent visitor to the First Assassin.Shen Xiuyun only threw a throwing knife at him now, he should actually be thankful.

"This kind of trick is still a trick in front of Xiuyun." Lorgar said modestly.

"What is His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince here for?" Shen Xiuyun stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the point.

"Since the last farewell, how long has it been since we met? Does Xiuyun have to meet only to discuss business?"

"Oh? What private matter does His Royal Highness want to say?" Shen Xiuyun raised his eyebrows with interest.

"For example, talk about our situation after we parted? Don't forget, you and I agreed at the beginning, we are still allies."

"Okay, since His Royal Highness Seventh said so, I have a question, and I want His Highness Seventh to help answer it."

"What question? Tell me."

"The army that came to Planet Meizuo before, is it yours?"

"Oh? What army?" Lorgar asked calmly, with no flaws visible on his face.

"You and I are both sensible people, so why does His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince treat others as fools? Do I owe you a thank you for recovering Meizuo planet so quickly this time?"

After listening to Shen Xiuyun's words, Lorgar pondered for a moment, as if thinking about how to answer.

"Xiuyun, in fact, as long as you don't tell your people, no one will know the existence of that army. As long as the people of the empire believe that the Meizuo planet was recovered by you, it was you, Shen Xiuyun, who brought the army composed of Omega The army, did what the Imperial Army failed to do, and that's enough. Don't you think?"

"Then can I know why the commander of that army is willing to make wedding dresses for others? Such selfless help makes me feel uneasy." Shen Xiuyun looked at Lorja and asked.

Lorgar smiled, and said in a speculative tone: "Maybe he just thinks that giving this credit to you will achieve the best results?"

"But no matter how I look at it, I feel that this result is only good for me."

"Maybe it's good for you, that's the best result."

After Lorgar finished speaking, Shen Xiuyun didn't answer any more. The room became extremely quiet for a moment. The sunlight came in through the window, slowly crawling the light grid on the ground, sweeping away the accumulated haze and dampness in the room. , so that the dust floating under the light is also dyed with a little warmth.

Shen Xiuyun looked at His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince who was sitting across from him, and His Royal Highness only smiled indifferently. They could hear the breathing sounds of the two with a similar frequency. It seemed that they were still communicating in a way that others could not interfere with except words.

In the end, it was Shen Xiuyun who broke the silence: "So the private matter has been discussed, what is His Royal Highness coming this time?"

Lorja didn't want to be a joke this time either: "Has Xiuyun heard any news about Planet Rama?"

Now under the control of the imperial government, the network communication and major interstellar radio stations have resumed normal operation. Naturally, Shen Xiuyun will not be unaware that he is now a thorn in the side of some Alpha nobles. Big cake, I don't know how many people want to come up and take a bite.

"So His Highness the Seventh Prince is really here to persuade me to give up the right to manage here, and go back to be tried by the imperial court?"

"What do you think?"

"If this is the case, His Royal Highness might not be able to safely leave the planet Meizuo." Shen Xiuyun glanced at Lorgar coldly.

Luo Jia laughed loudly, "Xiu Yun, you really can't change the nature of an assassin, don't you know that even in our era, there are two armies fighting without beheading?"

Luo Jia's words were obviously naked sarcasm, translated into an ugly sentence, it was equivalent to "a dog can't change it and eat shit", Shen Xiuyun naturally wouldn't give him a good look.

"Xiuyun, I actually came here this time to negotiate with you on behalf of the imperial government." Although Lorgar couldn't see Shen Xiuyun's expression at this time, he could picture his sullen look in his mind, with a hint of laugh.

"Oh? What do you want me to do?"

"Incorporate your army into the Imperial Army, and keep the number. From then on, your Omega allied army will become part of the Imperial Army, the fourth army after the three major armies of glory, light, and mission." Lorgar said. With a loud voice, he restrained his smile and looked solemn and serious.

"Is this your request?" Shen Xiuyun didn't express his opinion immediately, "What about the conditions for me?"

Lorgar couldn't help smiling appreciatively when he heard Shen Xiuyun's calm and calm voice, "Of course you should raise this condition yourself, after all, we are negotiating."

Shen Xiuyun narrowed his eyes, looked at Lorgar thoughtfully, and suddenly understood something, and said, "Your Highness, the council sent you to Planet Meizuo, but it wasn't for you to say this, right?"

Lorgar's smile deepened, "Xiu Yun, it depends on your negotiating ability. The council just sent me to negotiate with you, but I can't control the outcome of the negotiation."

Shen Xiuyun frowned slightly, "I need time to think about this."

"I would like to stay on Planet Mezuo for a few more days." Lorgar said immediately.

Shen Xiuyun stood up, and moved his gaze to the place on Lorgar's uniform that was scratched by his hidden weapon, "Then, His Royal Highness Seventh's precious time will be delayed for a few days."

"It's a great honor." Lorja also got up, and nodded slightly to Shen Xiuyun.

"I will arrange someone to take care of the food and daily life of His Royal Highness, but the conditions here are a bit crude, not comparable to Planet Rama, please bear with me."

"For me, there is no better place in Star Empire today than here," Lorgar said.

Shen Xiuyun glanced at Lorgar, turned and left expressionlessly.

Lorgar stayed on the planet Mezuo and sent it back to the planet Rama, euphemistically saying: The form of the negotiation is very unfavorable, but it is trying to convince the other party, and it will take time.

At the same time, reports and comments on the Meizuo recovery campaign were also produced one after another, which aroused increasing repercussions among the people.

"As we all know, Prince Caesarron was controlled by the Zerg a long time ago. At that time, he led an army to attack Planet Omega for the first time. He was under heavy siege for several months and failed to overcome the defense. On the other hand, Planet Meizuo, compared to Omega at that time The planet, whose defensive strength had to be increased several times, fell completely in just a few days. One side was only armed with Omega self-defense, while the other side was the government's Imperial Army, a well-equipped Mission Corps under a whole The 25th Corps was stationed nearby, but still failed to keep the Meizuo base. Does this send us such a message? The Alpha fighters we have always been proud of, and have always relied on, are not as powerful as the Omegas?"

Does this send us such a message? The Alpha fighters we have always been proud of, and have always relied on, are not as powerful as the Omegas?"

This report was written and broadcasted by Saratandin himself. After this long report, the Omega planet, which has always been mysterious to many people, gradually began to come into the public's view.After interviews with reporters, people discovered that in today's chaotic world, there is still a paradise like Planet Omega.On this brand-new planet, because of the Omega factory as a support, the various technological products produced are in short supply for export, which drives the rapid economic development.The pheromone simulation isolation gown that was once so famous that the Academy of Sciences bought it at a sky-high price turned out to be the Omega factory.

It is simply incredible that a planet whose population is mainly composed of Omega can withstand the attack of the Zerg for nearly three months.However, when people think of the owner of this planet, the famous Omega man, it seems that all this is not so difficult to understand.Compared with those poor Omegas in Meizuo Base, the 25th Corps stationed next to them were completely eroded by the Zerg, and the entire army was wiped out. In the end, these so-called protectors turned out to be the accomplices of the Zerg, killing nearly [-] Omega in Meizuo Base All turned into experimental bodies, breeding a large number of life forms for the Zerg race!

Perhaps it is precisely because of this comparison that in just a few days, the crisis of citizens' trust in the government has become more and more serious. Rumors about that mysterious planet have flooded every corner of the interstellar empire, and they have been moderately exaggerated. Prestige pushed to a new peak.

Shen Xiuyun told Lorgar to think about it for a few days, and within a few days, he contributed to the current situation.

Lorgar heard the news that was pouring in like snowflakes, and sat alone on a hillside in the outer city of Meizuo Base. The outer city wall of Meizuo Base was right in front of him, although his eyes were pitch black and he couldn't see anything. He arrived, but it seemed that he could already hear the sound of the city wall collapsing.

"Your Highness Seven."

In fact, he had already felt the smell of pheromones on Shen Xiuyun's body, but he just pretended not to know it, and only slightly raised the corners of his lips when he heard that person's familiar voice.

"Xiu Yun."

Shen Xiuyun walked up to Lorgar, and sat side by side with him on the hillside, looking at the distant outer wall of the base that stretched across the sky and was damaged in the war, "I've already considered your proposal."

"Huh? So your answer is?"

"I agree to incorporate the army into the Imperial Army, but I have one condition."

"What conditions?"

Shen Xiuyun looked sideways at Lorgar, his eyes lingering on his handsome profile, "I want to enter the council."

Lorgar smiled slowly.

No need to say anything, Shen Xiuyun already knew what Lorgar meant, and looked ahead calmly.

Under the setting sun, the sun shines like thousands of golden flakes, and the two sit together on a high mountain, with their long shadows everywhere, one brows and eyes are indifferent, and the other smiles calmly.

"Xiu Yun."

"Ah."

"Is it the sunset now?"

"Ah."

"It's beautiful?"

"Fortunately."

"One day, you will see the beauty of every place in this interstellar empire." Lorgar turned his head as he said, and the distance to Shen Xiuyun was extremely close, and his warm breath could even caress Shen Xiuyun's ear.

Shen Xiuyun was silent for a long time, but said: "Let's talk about the future."
