Chapter 18: To fall is to stand


Accompanied by a shrill siren, a shocking red sign appeared on the light curtain on the side of the hatch, similar to an insect-like animation, alerting the people inside the ship that the surveillance scanning system had found a chip, the chip on the back of the neck of the Federation man.

The officials of the Imperial Royal Intelligence Agency, disguised as silk smugglers, reacted very quickly, and in a fraction of a second, they took out the guns on their waists, stopped the two Huai Caoshi behind them, and the muzzles of the black holes were aimed in all directions, and the sound of data combing, analysis and tracking sounded in the intercom system on their wrists.

After a few seconds, the officers of the Intelligence Agency put down the guns in their hands with extremely strange expressions, and looked at the small-eyed man behind Her Royal Highness the Princess, only to know that the source of the alarm turned out to be this person.

This man turned out to be a Federalist The officials thought of His Highness's comfortable closeness to this person during the departure of the spaceship from Hanxing, and countless questions arose in their hearts, whether the rumor that caused the rebellion of the nobles was true "Turn down the sound of the alarm system."

Huai Caoshi frowned slightly, stepped forward, and said in a cold voice: "I don't want to keep listening to these harsh voices on the journey back to Tianjing. ” Xu Le followed her forward, shrugged his shoulders at the strange-looking imperial officials on both sides of the hatch, expressing his innocent emotions, Her Royal Highness the Princess did not order his subordinates to turn off the chip scanning system, which made him a little disappointed, and on the other hand, it also proved that although Her Royal Highness the Princess can be called the first fierce person in the universe, he is still cautious and careful.

Huai Caoshi put her hands behind her back, staring at her subordinates with an indifferent expression Replacing the electronically controlled explosives on Xu Le's shoulders, still refusing to rest assured, until the subordinates worked hard to find a set of heavy electric shock alloy shackles from the warehouse and put them on Xu Le's ankles, she really relaxed and slowly straightened up.

Xu Le watched her eyes slowly narrow, like a book with a black cover that was about to close, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he said, "Don't fall." ” Huai Cao Shihuo opened his eyes, stared at him and said, "What did you say?"

"Don't pour."

Xu Le didn't seem to feel her sharp gaze, and said strongly: "Don't forget what you promised me." ” What did you promise to die with dignity or with dignity Huai Caoshi's eyebrows frowned slightly, and after a while, she remembered something, and a gentle smile rarely bloomed in the corner of her lips, and she stretched out her right hand and pointed to Xu Le on the chair, and said to the subordinates around him: "As long as he doesn't run away, treat him well." ” "Yes, Your Highness."

The intelligence officer on board the spacecraft replied without hesitation.

Hearing this explanation, Xu Le also really relaxed, and moved his feet that were tightly bound in the heavy shackles, as if he was tickling, and then looked at Huai Caoshi's eyes that slowly narrowed again, and reminded the imperial officials around him: "Hold her." ” The Imperial officials didn't know what these three words suddenly came out of the Federation, and more importantly, they had never imagined that Her Royal Highness the Princess, standing by the porthole of the battleship, was thin and thin, but gave people a feeling of invincibility, and Her Highness, who was about to become great by virtue of his strength alone, would fall one day.

So their response was a step slower.

Huai Caoshi's narrowed eyes finally closed softly together, and with such a touch of a single eyelid, the eternally burning crystalline engine furnace seemed to be turned off, and she still held her hands on her shoulders, proudly and indifferently puffed her chest, and fell backwards in this cool posture.

There was a muffled crack, and the ground of the spaceship she hit as she fell trembled slightly.

There was an incredible burst of exclamations and shouts all around, and the officials of the Imperial Intelligence Agency rushed over as fast as they could, and after a while, they were somewhat frightened and somewhat incredulous to find that His Highness was not injured in any way, but was asleep.

The nervous officials escorted His Highness to rest and were busy opening the treatment cabin, while the officials who stayed in the cabin looked at Xu Le with strange eyes, on the big picture, they didn't understand the real relationship between this Federation person and His Highness, and on a small scale, they didn't understand why this person could see that His Highness was about to fall.

Xu Le lowered his head, his eyes followed the explosives on his shoulder blades and landed on the heavy alloy shackles, and he pulled the corners of his lips and smiled.

After fleeing and fighting in that sea of mulberry trees for so many days, there was hardly a moment of rest, even if it was a real metal body, I was afraid that it would collapse, after entering the spaceship, Huai Caoshi confirmed that it was safe for the time being, and once the spirit was relaxed, those exhaustions and injuries poured out like a torrent, how could it not fall If she didn't fall like this, in the face of such a terrifying enemy, Xu Le would really lose all hope, but fortunately, she still fell after all.

The empire is a society with strict strata, royalty, nobility, commoners, untouchables, slaves, the five classes are divided quite clearly, in the vast space age can still maintain imperial power, the imperial family relies on the oppression of the class from top to bottom and the incomparably bloody order maintenance, the history of the empire is actually a history of repression and resistance, and the bloody history has gradually turned the untouchables and slaves into a class, the most miserable class.

In recent history, the most miserable class in the Imperial Star Field has become the Federation, although there are very few Federation people who have been captured into the territory of the Empire, but this kind of object that even untouchable slaves can spit on the side of the street and throw eggs, and the treatment they enjoy can only be fought with pigs and dogs.

The Federalists are the best targets for untouchable slaves to vent their grievances, the supreme weapon for maintaining the stability of the Empire's society, and the beacon that guides the Empire forward, so it is natural that it has become the most unshakable link in the strict order of the Empire, and anyone, whether he is a pariah struggling in the slums or a slave with his back to the sky in the mines, has been cultivated to have an instinctive hatred for the Federalists, a fanatical blood-eating impulse.

Existence is not necessarily justified, but there is certainly a legitimate need.

If Xu Le hadn't snatched that sentence out of her mouth before Huai Caoshi fell asleep, then how miserable his treatment would have been on this Intelligence Agency's camouflage spaceship, just like the two Imperial experts on the Red Rose, the Imperial Intelligence Agency officials would definitely not mind slowly torturing and tossing him as an experimental material, until his body was completely exhausted, his liver and intestines and limbs were broken, and he was unable to swallow the past of the Federation heroes with a breath of relief.

Fortunately, at the top of the strict imperial order, there is an unchallengeable imperial power, since Her Royal Highness the princess has spoken, no matter how lowly the Federation people are, they have instantly turned into guests who must be treated well, no matter how unwilling the officials of the Imperial Intelligence Agency are, they must do it, because His Royal Highness will always wake up from a deep sleep.

The disguised smuggling spaceship did not know what method it used, broke through the blockade of the galaxy by the rebel fleet, sailed long and far away in the dark and silent space, followed the top-secret smuggling channel shared by the silk smuggler and the Royal Intelligence Service, and became more and more difficult to understand as it became farther and farther away from the planet full of turmoil, and gradually became easy to understand until it was fully understood, this is all Xu Le's life in this spaceship.

If the heavy shackles on his ankles hadn't rubbed the skin and bled out, if the explosives that had passed through his shoulder blades hadn't hurt so much, he would have enjoyed the journey.

In addition to this, he had been silently watching the actions of the Imperial Intelligence Agency officials, who had been watching these Intelligence Agency officers deal with the rebel fleets, talk to the smugglers who were hiding in the dark, and in fact escort Huai Caoshi away from danger in a downsimplified way, and he couldn't help but feel more and more shocked in his heart.

The Imperial Royal Intelligence Agency, an intelligence agency much like the Charter Bureau but without a Charter computer, is too capable of displaying it.

The intelligence information of countless eyeliner secret agents is like the ubiquitous chip information feedback from the Federation.

If the glory of the charter of the Federation relies on the powerful computing power of the central computer and the ubiquitous information nodes, then the intelligence agency used by the imperial family to rule the universe relies on people, people everywhere, people like the sea and mountains, people like oceans and mountains, people like mountains and dense forests.

Eleven days had passed since Imperial Standard Time, and Xu Le was once again deeply shocked by the images that appeared on the light curtain.

It is impossible to describe the fleet in space directly ahead, in fact, when this fleet of hundreds of Imperial warships suddenly appeared in front of the interstellar channel, the entire universe seemed to be swallowed up by a dense group of warships, and the black hibiscus logo on the bow of these warships was so striking that it was chilling.

The terrifying Imperial Royal Fleet finally left the space base outside Tianjing, and they passed by the lone Intelligence Agency spaceship, leaving ten warships as protection, and the rest of the warships all rushed towards Lihanxing.

A few days later, the light curtain appeared on the space around Hanxing, and countless silent explosions and dazzling fireworks bloomed one after another in that space.

Xu Le squinted at all this, and found that the intelligence agency officials around him did not have any excited expressions, perhaps in the eyes of these imperial officials who were extremely loyal to the royal family, this aristocratic rebellion was a joke, as long as His Majesty and His Royal Highness were still alive, those reactionaries would be torn to shreds sooner or later.

"What are you thinking?"

A voice sounded behind him.

Xu Le subconsciously spoke, he spoke in Imperial Chinese, but immediately reacted, the person behind him spoke Federal, and there was only one person who spoke to him in Federalism on this spaceship.

He turned his head, looked at the ordinary face that no one dared to despise, and said with a smile: "Awake" "Hmm."

Huai Caoshi walked to the chair with a cup of coffee, looked at the flames on the light curtain, and said, "It seems that there is something wrong with your emotions." ” "There is a sea of fire away from Hanxing, I don't know how many people will die, whether that governor will survive or not" "The bad news I just received is that Governor Kepaonin has been martyred."

Xu Le was silent for a moment and then said, "I thought of the officer who had surrounded us in the mulberry sea that day.

Although I can't fully understand your conversation, I feel sorry for him.

Your aristocrats seem to like to be very fond of pretending, but they don't understand that pretending to be coercive is always easy to kill. ” Huai Caoshi put down the coffee cup and said, "You don't understand. ” "I really don't understand, for example, why the Governor of Copaninen, who knew he was going to die, insisted on it for you and your father."

"Your president is a puppet of ballot politics, and here you are the empire."

"That's the end of the discussion."

Xu Le was silent again, and suddenly asked, "Can you explain to me the composition of the Imperial fleet that went to quell the rebellion this time?"

The two of them were not the only ones in the room, those Imperial Intelligence Agency officials who were working quietly had actually been listening carefully to the conversation between His Highness and the Federation, their profession was destined to make the Federation a compulsory course, so they heard these conversations clearly, the previous paragraph of the conversation shocked them that Her Royal Highness the high-ranking princess would speak to the Federation pariahs in an equal tone, and the last sentence really made them feel the urge to kill Xu Le immediately.

The configuration of the Imperial fleet, whether it is the most coarse functional ship ratio or the most subtle firepower increase line value, is undoubtedly top-secret information, even ordinary nobles are not qualified to access this information, let alone a Federation person.

There was silence on the ship, and the officers of the Intelligence Agency thought that His Highness might be furious, or that they might not respond unexpectedly, but the next response was beyond their comprehension.

"This fleet is the Sky Thunder Fleet, which belongs to the Royal First Fleet, and the flagship Pine Thunder is powered by twenty-one composite engines, with three layers of armor increasing in thickness" Huai Caoshi was silent for only a moment, and then began to calmly tell the absolute secret information of the emperor, as if he completely forgot that Xu Le in the chair was a federal soldier.

The entire ship's Imperial officials were dumbfounded, and there was a dead silence except for her voice, and the night cat could hear thunderous footsteps as he walked by.

Only Xu Le noticed the light that flashed in Huai Caoshi's eyes, and only he understood why Huai Caoshi dared to tell him these things.

"What you're asking isn't important."

After Huai Caoshi finished talking about the structure of the fleet, he looked down at Xu Le with a smile on his face.

"Is there really a laser weapon in the space base on the periphery of Tianjing Star, we have been speculating over there."

Xu Le continued to ask unceremoniously.

"When you have the ability to call, you will naturally know."

Huai Caoshi put her hands behind her back and said calmly: "But I can give you an approximate firepower value, according to the escort ability of your fleet over there, it should be able to last for seventeen seconds." ” "The micro-engine of the wedge in the forty-seven spherical joints of the wolf's tooth mecha can avoid the electronic turbulence interference in the containment chamber, but how can synchronization be done?"

The quiet smuggling spaceship sailed towards Tianjingxing, and the voices of two young people with ordinary appearances and actually more proud and confident than anyone else sounded in the quiet cabin, this conversation didn't know how long it lasted, the deployment of the emperor, the customs and people of Tianjingxing, the most famous food of the imperial people, and the most direct questions had the most direct answers, and then brought the most direct shock to the imperial officials in the ship.

Between the questions and answers, there was a certain sword-like atmosphere brewing.

In that sea of mulberry trees, Xu Le and Huai Caoshi had discussed, and now it just pushed that discussion one step further.

You say you want to escape, but you're just asking for trouble.

She knew that he would definitely have to escape, and that if he knew this information, once he fled, it would cause more harm to the empire, but she wanted to say it, because she firmly believed that he could not escape, but the more she knew, the more she wanted to escape, the more painful it became.

It was an interesting gamble.

Xu Le, the man who had been hung upside down on the gallows, had steel chips tied to his hair with the line of life and death, and every time Huai Caoshi said more words, those chips would increase more and more, until thousands, tens of thousands, tens of millions of tons, like seawater.

"Actually, you don't have to bet this with me."

The ghosts of the royal warships around the spaceship dispersed, and a vague nebula faintly appeared in the distance, Xu Le didn't know if it was the destination, and after ending today's discussion and having a preliminary understanding of the literary history of the empire, he suddenly said to the Huai Cao Shi beside him.

"I never gamble."

Huai Caoshi squinted her eyes at the nebula, which was only the size of a fingernail, and said: "Since the beginning of the war, there have been a total of twenty-seven Federation captives who pretended to surrender and tried to escape, many of them are much more cunning and powerful than you, but none of them have been able to escape three kilometers away from the planet's surface. ” Xu Le was silent, knowing what she was talking about.

Huai Caoshi glanced indifferently at the back of Xu Le's neck, a trace of disgust appeared in her eyes, and said mockingly: "Just like we can't enter the Federation, so do you.

Let the machine plant a dog's tail in the body, and I don't know what you Federation think. ” Xu Le smiled, did not have a fierce quarrel with the other party about the chip, and instead said: "This is not something I can choose or decide. ” "I sympathize with you and you."

Huai Caoshi frowned slightly and said, "So I don't understand why you can still smile so happily watching death get closer and closer, I don't believe you really have the confidence to escape." ” "Of course."

Her straight eyebrows were slightly raised, and she squinted and said, "I'm expecting you to surprise me." ” "Could this be the so-called master loneliness in the legend" Xu Le scratched his head, his shoulders hurt a little, and his brows furrowed.

"Probably."

Huai Caoshi replied.

In the magnificent interstellar age, the individual heroism supported by super strength has long given way to the cold mechanical order, and in this context, anyone who dares to express the feelings of invincibility like the princess by the porthole can probably be classified as a madman or a pretending idiot, but the history is so long, and the human base is so large, there will always be peerless cattle people who are qualified to say such things.

For example, Li Pifu, such as the person who was slapped by Li Pifu, such as him, such as her, such as him.

"I'll do my best."

Xu Le looked into her eyes and replied in the most serious tone in his life.

The ship landed on a huge planet, and a bulletproof limousine picked up the group as they left the royal secret military base and traveled about seventy kilometers into a heavily guarded manor.

Xu Le, who was wearing a dark helmet, couldn't see any picture, couldn't even hear any sound, all of this was completely out of the deduction in his brain, the gravitational acceleration when he landed, the speed of his body feeling and the time in his brain, everything was just an inference.

Stepping on the protruding cobblestone road, Xu Le was escorted by the emperor and staggered forward, and he suddenly said: "I have another very important question I want to ask, that is, what kind of eight rice." ” He knew that Huai Caoshi definitely didn't leave at this time, and if she was leaving, she would definitely say something to herself.

Sure enough, a moment later, he heard the man's cold and calm voice: "I will tell you before you die." ” Xu Le smiled and didn't say anything more.

Huai Caoshi squinted her eyes, looking at the back of the figure who disappeared into the underground passage, and she didn't know why she always felt something strange in her heart, not because of this gamble she thought she would win, but because of something else.

On the way back to the core star field of the empire on the Red Rose, she needs to know Xu Le's secret at all costs, but after receiving the complete intelligence analysis, she immediately retracted the idea of cutting off this person's arm, because she firmly believes that this person's seemingly wooden but strong surname will definitely choose to commit suicide without hesitation once faced with this situation.

At that time, she didn't want him to die too early and too quickly, and now the situation in the empire does not allow him to commit suicide, but can only be suicidal, because the royal family still has to give a clear explanation and explanation to those neutral nobles after all.

The dark silent cell, Xu Le is no stranger, he once spent half a year in such a lonely environment, the fox fortress used to be as kind as his second home, but at that time he had the old thing to play love action movies, and now what can he have to do without stopping, always trying in secret and gently stroking the metal bracelet on his left wrist.

The life in the black prison did not last long, he ushered in the senior judges of the imperial trial and the cruel executioners in his eyes, and after listening carefully to the imperial sentence with a Tianjing accent, Xu Le finally understood that he would be executed in public at the gate of the palace tomorrow.

He furrowed his itchy brow, scratched his itchy mess, rubbed his itchy instep, and the electric controls on his shoulder blades and the heavy shackles on his ankles clanged and were somewhat disturbing.

"What about the dignity you promised?"

He looked at the darkness outside the black prison and asked very seriously.

"No torture, no Ling Chi, no humiliation, dying from a metal bullet, isn't that dignity for a soldier" Huai Caoshi appeared at the door of the black cell, and said indifferently with her hands behind her back.

"I don't understand why you're going on so many trials, but my empire is right, and you seem to say that I'm the illegitimate son of Li Pifu."

Xu Le stared at her by the door.

"Isn't it an honor for a Federation to die in such an capacity" "Of course not."

Xu Le shook his head and said: "Master, I have a name, a surname, a father, a mother, a sister, a teacher, and a friend, so I don't have this hobby." ” Huai Caoshi was silent for a moment, and then said, "I will tell you about Badao before the execution. ” After saying this, she silently turned around with her hands behind her back and prepared to leave.

"It's a pity I didn't get a chance to hear the best secret."

Xu Le looked at her back and grinned, his white teeth as bright as Bei's eyes.

Huai Caoshi's pupils shrank sharply, her body roared through the air, and she slashed at Xu Le's chest with one finger However, when his fingertips were still a few centimeters away from his chest, the smiling small-eyed man spurted out a mouthful of black blood, and then fell straight down.
