After being captured by the old enemy

The Pope died from a nutrient soak mixed with poison.

This is a cruel and slow way of dying, but compared to living in a state of inhumanity, being able to die is also a relief.

Although Iser had cleaned up the remnants of the Pope faction several times, the Pope had overwhelmed him and lived for more than a hundred years. It was obviously impossible to completely eradicate his power in a short period of time.

This time it was just an oversight.

Esther probably had specific instructions, and no one would stop Ji Xingjue from wandering around in the church, so he strolled smoothly to the hall where the Holy Order was meeting.

When he walked in, Esther was slowly wiping the blood-stained dagger in his hand, and there were several people lying in front of him, in a miserable state of death.

A group of senior members of the religious order who were domineering outside knelt down tremblingly, not daring to speak.

The strong smell of blood floated over, and Ji Xingjue frowned uncomfortably.

Noticing that Ji Xingjue was coming, Esther immediately put the short knife into the sheath of the boots, took the handkerchief, wiped the blood on his fingers, and motioned for others to remove the corpse, showing a gentle smile to Ji Xingjue: "Why is Your Highness here? I'm dealing with some...traitors."

Ji Xingjue pretended to be blind, and after showing a moment of doubt, the bridge of his nose wrinkled slightly.

Knowing that he didn't like the smell of blood, Esther led him out of the hall, and changed the subject nonchalantly: "Your Highness is bored here, right? Wait a minute, I'll take His Highness out to get some air."

This breath is probably to go to the edge of the seventh galaxy of the empire to breathe.

Ji Xingjue avoided his hand indiscriminately: "Oh? Are you going to deal with the traitor or Harlem?"

Seeing him move his hand away, Iser lowered his eyes, paused for a moment, and then smiled indifferently: "Harlem is very cunning, but this time the Pope's actions are too big, showing his feet, wait for me to track it down... There's no need for Harlem."

Ji Xingjue raised his eyebrows.

The Pope has another body.

As long as he is not completely dead, the Pope in the Holy Order will not give up.

However, the Pope took the risk of poisoning the Pope this time, and Iser caught his tail and kept searching. When he found the Pope's body, he would kill Harlem who had been practicing Tai Chi.

"When are you going to leave?"

Esther's voice could not hear any emotion: "Is Your Highness looking forward to returning to the front line to see Qi Qing?"

Ji Xingjue: "Of course, he is my husband."

Iser held back the jealousy that was almost bursting out, and kept a peaceful tone: "You are the prince of the Landa Empire, and you were born to stand against the Glorious Empire. Your Highness, they will not accept you." .”

He stretched out his hand to pick up a strand of Ji Xingjue's long, broken hair, twisted it lightly around his fingertips, and raised the corner of his mouth: "When we meet Qi Qing again, you will stand on opposite sides."

The Marshal who fights for the Empire will turn his guns on the enemy.

The subjugated prince should not have anything to do with the enemy.

Ji Xingjue retorted mercilessly: "The position is never determined by birth."

He paused: "Speaking of which, I'm curious, where did Rand go?"

He hadn't seen Rand in the church since Rand was knocked unconscious by Qi Qing.

Iser was originally displeased with the first half of his sentence, but when he heard the latter, he smiled slightly: "I asked him to do something for me——Does Your Highness miss the old man? Don't worry, wait until the troubles on the front line are resolved, We will be reunited soon."

Ji Xingjue was noncommittal.

Esther is very efficient.

After sending Ji Xingjue back to the resting room, he found out a series of Pope factions that night, and used some tricks to force out a few words, guessing where the Pope was hiding.

The data transfer of the soul code can't be done overnight. He was bombarded to death by Ji Xingjue, and it took him more than ten days to transfer the data and wake up again.

The Pope was probably clever but was mistaken by his cleverness. Thinking of the darkness under the lights, he placed his hiding place in a basement in the Holy City. This gecko tail-docking trick was not perfect.

After confirming that the person immersed in the culture solution was the Pope, and that there was a chip in his brain, Esther mercilessly burned the body.

After the trouble was resolved, he was not in a hurry to attack Harlem, and Harlem was not in a hurry to escape.

The army of the Holy Order has been organized and rushed to the front line immediately.

Harlem and Alder were also taken aboard the battleship.

Esther was probably trying to get the best out of it, bring Harlem to the front line, and end him as cannon fodder.

Ji Xingjue still pretended to be blind as the army of the Holy Order set off in a mighty way. When he boarded the battleship, he glanced at the star map and keenly realized that this was not the route to the wormhole in the no-go zone.

——The seventh galaxy has been wiped out by Qi Qing, and the outside of the wormhole is also guarded by the imperial army. It would be strange if Esther walked that way and fell into the trap.

The imperial army will also have the same scruples. If the army of the Holy Order is guarding the other side of the wormhole, it will be very fatal to teleport the moment when the defense is weakest.

So Qi Qing didn't act rashly.

There is another route that can connect the seventh galaxy to the hideout of the Holy Order.

Ji Xingjue understood the key in an instant, but before he calmly approached and saw the coordinates above clearly, Esther turned his head.

He pondered for a while, bent down to look into Ji Xingjue's eyes, and said softly: "Your Highness's eyes are so beautiful, more fascinating and profound than the universe."

Those red eyes were as beautiful as they were dangerous, and when he stared at them, it was like being stared at by some kind of aggressive hunter with a strong poison.

Ji Xingjue looked at him calmly, his eyes slightly dull.

Iser looked distressed: "Although I know His Highness can't see it, I always feel a little uneasy when His Highness looks at me like this."

Ji Xingjue said "Oh": "Are you going to goug my eyes?"

"Your Highness, I love you so much, why am I willing to hurt you?" Ise's voice was as soft as water, and she took out a white silk ribbon three fingers wide from her bosom, "Your Highness is wronged to cover your eyes, please don't take it off at will. Oh, just call me if there is any inconvenience, I am happy to serve."

Ji Xingjue frowned slightly, closed his eyes, and let Esther tie the ribbon on him.

Back to darkness.

Ji Xingjue pursed his lips.

The person in front of him only showed half of his face, the thin lips under the straight bridge of the nose were reddish, and the curve of his jaw was soft and graceful. Even though he couldn't see him, his manner was still elegant and calm.

Esther stared at him fascinated, and slowly lowered her head.

Sensing the shallow breathing of the person in front of him approaching, Ji Xingjue took two steps back vigilantly.

Iser's movements froze: "Sorry, Your Highness, I shouldn't offend you."

He turned away and sighed slightly: "I don't want to treat you like this, but it's a pity that His Highness always misses Qi Qing."

He muttered, with a somewhat complaining tone.

If it wasn't for Ji Xingjue who knew how cruel and ruthless he was, he would almost have thought that this guy was competing with his little treasure.

Yiser's "acting like a baby" is not in the same order as Qi Qing's acting like a baby, they are deadly.

Ji Xingjue shut his mouth, ignored his words, and turned back to the rest cabin by relying on his memory.

Esther watched his back for a while before turning back to command the battleship.

Esther has a keen sense of danger.

Although Ji Xingjue pretended to be quite superb, he was still not completely relieved.

Ji Xingjue was not in a hurry, and patiently waited for the opportunity.

The opportunity came soon.

After being bored in the rest cabin for a long time, Ji Xingjue wandered back to the operation cabin boredly. The moment the cabin door opened, a bishop with a coffee walked up to him. Before the bishop could react, Ji Xingjue seized the opportunity and slammed When it hit him, hot coffee was splashed all over his head and face.

Iser's face changed drastically, and he rushed over and kicked away the pale bishop, and took off the silk cloth from Ji Xingjue's eyes, feeling a little panicked: "Your Highness, did you hurt? Does it hurt?"

Ji Xingjue covered his eyes and shook his head. Iser was anxious and angry, and coldly glanced at the trembling bishop, and immediately asked someone to bring cold water and a handkerchief, and carefully wiped Ji Xingjue who was splashed by hot coffee. to the place.

Ji Xingjue opened his eyes silently, and saw the coordinates on the star map through his fingers.

He memorized it silently in his heart, put down his hands and closed his eyes, listening to Esther still thinking about chopping up that bishop's hands and feet.

Esther was perfectly capable of such a thing.

Ji Xingjue's eyelids twitched, and he stretched out his hand to hold Iser: "It was me who accidentally bumped into someone, don't kill people at will."

Esther said nothing.

"Yeser." Ji Xingjue emphasized his tone, "You don't even listen to me?"

Esther hummed reluctantly: "Alright then."

Ji Xingjue was silent for a while, and patched: "You are not allowed to chop off his hands and feet."

Iser: "...Okay, I will listen to Your Highness."

After getting along for a while, Ji Xingjue could probably figure out that Iser could basically do what he promised him, so he quietly glanced at the grateful bishop, twitched the corner of his mouth, and turned his head away.

He felt a little guilty about selling people out and coaxing people to count the money for him.

This little storm passed quickly.

Ji Xingjue returned to the rest cabin, recited the coordinates of the star map he saw just now, and constructed it in his mind.

There are dozens of coordinate points marked on the star map, all of which are remote transition points.

The first jump is coming soon.

Ji Xingjue felt a little nervous, and when the leap passed, his body still felt nothing strange, and his high-hanging heart finally fell——

The memory chip that is repelled by the body is removed, and the spirit and body are highly integrated.

He will no longer have violent jump reactions.

As he promised Qi Qing, the next time we meet, Qi Qing will be able to see a whole and healthy him.

It's a pity that all the communication devices on his body were taken away, so he couldn't contact Qi Qing.

Ji Xingjue thought with a little pity, it would be great if he could really have telepathy.

In the next few days, every leap can correspond to the star map in Ji Xingjue's mind.

Alder also stayed on this battleship and found an opportunity to match the information with Ji Xingjue.

When approaching the seventh galaxy, Harlem will try to cause a little confusion. At that time, he and Ji Xingjue can get out of the small battleships released from the main ship to join Harlem, and take advantage of the chaos to return to the imperial army.

As for the Saints on a battleship with Harlem—

It has been solved by him.

What Ji Xingjue needs to do is to stabilize Yise's emotions in the past few days, so as not to let him suddenly go crazy, and wait quietly.

The fleet rushed to the seventh galaxy at the fastest speed, passing through the second wormhole on the way, which greatly shortened the travel time.

When the fleet was still some distance away from the seventh galaxy, the "little chaos" that Haring called appeared one step ahead of time.

Ji Xingjue was quite shocked at the moment when countless warships with chaotic skulls painted on them surrounded the Holy Order's fleet.

It's Neil!

The leader of the Star Bandit that I haven't seen for a long time.

...How can Harlem hook up with anyone?

The author has something to say: Harlem: It is the courtesan biscuit (bushi) who has connections with the Star Thief Holy Order of the Imperial Alliance
