Reclaiming the Way of the Empire

Chapter 97 The Lord

On this snowy night on Knight Island, a spaceship that secretly took off from the Wofschau galaxy quietly flew across the entire star sea, approached the airspace of the Wobend galaxy, and then activated the stealth mode and quietly approached the R9 star cluster .

Lord Kensington is no longer as vigorous as before, but he is still a tough old man. He quietly looked at the galaxy outside, and suddenly he was in a trance. He sighed lightly, and finally urged his driver to speed up. speed of flight.

"Lord, is it really okay for you to do this?" The secretary next to Hawley asked softly, "The situation in the empire is not so clear now, and the relationship between you and Duke Robben has only slightly eased..."

"That is EVAN's blood, as long as he is a part of the empire, and my daughter's blood flows through his body, I will go and see it."

"But... I heard that when the Duchess wrote to him personally, he declined the invitation. You go...I'm afraid he won't give you this face."

Hawley folded his hands on the crutches in his hands. Of course he knew the difficulties of the trip, but it was precisely because of the difficulties that he had to come in person—since Edward IV passed away, the Marquis Howard has been in charge of the government.The power of the dynasty fell, and there was even a scandal that the children of the outer room were able to send the children of the main room away.

The thing that the old man regrets most in his life is probably marrying his daughter to a man like Duke Robben.In the end, it almost killed her daughter's life. How could this kind of young lady who was raised in a big family be Shirley.Loft's courtesan counterpart.

Seeing the current turmoil in the empire, Hawley decided to meet Li Ting, his great-grandson, for a while.

At the same time, in the Kaifeng Mansion, Li Ting happened to be discussing something with Ren Pingsheng holding the red bean paste bun.Xi Honglei came out to take a look at them, and then said in a low voice: "Gu Junchou's condition is very bad. He has been suffering from high fever since yesterday. It didn't help that the doctor came to see him and received an injection. I'm afraid it has something to do with the marks on his body..."

Li Ting frowned: "Do you want us to find Su Xingyun to solve it?"

"Let them settle the grievances between the three of them by themselves," Ren Pingsheng said, and he really took out his mobile phone to call Su Xingyun, "There is one more thing, it is said that the current situation in Knight Island is a bit Strange, Xie Junhuai is seriously ill, it seems that there will be a big move between the stars soon."

Li Ting nodded, although the memory before rebirth ended at the time of the third interstellar battle, it is not difficult to infer from the current situation - Xie Junhuai launched the third interstellar battle, and soon unified the entire Wobend galaxy , but was taken advantage of by the Wofushuo galaxy when the war was exhausted, and became the sinner of the alliance's destruction.

"Li Ting, there is a spaceship requesting to log in, I think it is necessary for me to come over and ask your opinion." Lin Jing walked in with a careful receiver, but saw a few of them standing together with solemn faces, she smiled He smiled: "Oh? Did I interrupt something?"

"No, who wants to log in?"

"People from the Wofshuo galaxy, cough—I think they really want you to go back with them. According to their newspaper reports, your line of succession is quite high." Lin Jing half-jokingly Handed the receiver to Li Ting.

Li Ting looked at the old man above the receiver. Although he was not Uncle William, who had always had a good relationship with him, Li Ting had no reason to reject people who were his relatives—especially when they had already visited In the case of a visit.

Handing the child to Xi Honglei, Li Ting glanced at Ren Pingsheng: "Accompany me?"

Ren Pingsheng nodded in understanding, walked over and took Li Ting's hand to the airtight door, and waited quietly for the old man to come out of the aircraft after landing.After their development, Kaifeng already has a large parking area and launchers. The current construction scale is similar to that of the resorts developed by the four major planets on any of the outer planets, and it has complete facilities and abundant resources.

When Huo Li walked to the door, he didn't walk in directly, he stood at the door and looked Li Ting and Ren Pingsheng up and down, and then he walked slowly towards Li Ting, he sighed lightly : "You are very much like your mother. Rachel is indeed worthy of our family's pride for having a son like you."

Li Ting blinked, not knowing how to reply to the old man's words.

"I'm Hawley, the lord of Kensington County in the Wolfsaw galaxy. Your mother Rachel is my granddaughter," the old man introduced himself, then turned to look at Ren Pingsheng and said, "Are you Ren Pingsheng? The sound legion is also a pedestrian."

Ren Pingsheng nodded without saying anything.Only then did Li Ting make a gesture of invitation and lead the old man into the house. The construction of their base has been getting bigger and bigger. Now this is not only the place where they live, but also a political center of Kaifeng, where the office and administration are also located. together.

The three sat down facing each other, and Li Ting made a cup of black tea for Lord Holly himself.Holly watched Li Ting's action of making tea, and the sugar that was put on the table afterwards, and the old man smiled approvingly in his eyes.

"Before, my grandmother and Uncle William both wrote to me, saying that they wanted to invite me to the palace for a small gathering," Li Ting said straight away after preparing the things, "You must have come here for the same purpose." ?”

"Don't refuse first." Holly is also a shrewd old man, he took a sip of black tea with a smile, "Li Ting, you are a smart boy. The struggle in our family has never stopped, and your mother doesn't want you to contact us. This is the reason. She divorced your father back then to protect you from being known by the imperial family. But now, your existence is no longer a secret, so I might as well tell you frankly: Li Ting, the current struggle in the Wofusuo galaxy, It needs you and your mother to balance."

"But……"

"I know you don't have any affection for the Xingwang dynasty, but Li Ting, it wasn't us who made your mother leave the empire, but the woman from the Loft family—she and her son have always been coveting Xingwang. The throne of the dynasty. Back then, Linglong Acacia had a prophecy that the pearl of the empire would eventually return to its throne. People in our entire empire believed in this prophecy, and we would never allow members of the Loft family to enter the royal family."

Li Ting had no intention of participating in the internal struggle of the Xingwang Dynasty at all, but now that Huo Li had come to his door, Li Ting was determined to ask about that person: "Since you are here, I have always had a doubt about the Xingwang Dynasty. It just so happens that I can ask you today."

"what?"

"About Edward IV's queen, Liu Lixi."

Hawley shuddered when he heard the name. He looked at Li Ting in disbelief. He never thought that the young man in front of him would be hunted down in such a remote place as the R9 star cluster. Knowing that Liu Lixi is such a secretive existence in Xingwang Dynasty.

He reluctantly hesitated for a while: "Why did you ask him...?"

"Liu Lixi is a member of the Zhuxia clan, isn't he? You must know better than us how the Zhuxia clan was brutally exterminated back then. This person exists in the royal family. I have to ask, how do you plan to deal with him?"

Perhaps the Duke and Duchess of Robben had no chance to participate in the inhuman destruction of the Zhuxia tribe, but the lord Hawley must have participated in the war that year.How the Zhuxia tribe was killed, and how Liu Lixi took revenge step by step, Huo Li must have seen it all.

"He...he...he's not our queen anymore," Hawley said awkwardly. "He's imprisoned somewhere, and no one has seen him for a long time."

Li Ting pursed his lips, his guess was indeed correct, Liu Lixi was indeed not someone who would sit and wait for death, I'm afraid that the queen is no longer in the Wofushuo Galaxy.Afterwards, Li Ting and Ren Pingsheng had a brief chat with Holly about the Wofushuo galaxy, but they couldn't reach an agreement in the end.Li Ting would not be willing to leave Kaifeng to participate in the political power struggles in the Wofushuo galaxy, and he has no intention of becoming someone else's political puppet like Princess Anne.

For dinner, Li Ting still left the old man to eat, but the scene was very embarrassing.

While everyone was sitting quietly at the table to eat, Su Xingyun hurried back from the outside. He looked very tired and embarrassed, with a disheveled face.Seeing a stranger in the room, he just nodded slightly, went straight to Xu You's side and said a few words to Xu You, then nodded to Ren Pingsheng and Li Ting, and went back to his room.

After Xu You heard Su Xingyun's narration, he was also a little surprised, and without eating, he whispered a few words to Xie Xiangfeng, and left the table.

Seeing their actions one by one, Hawley seemed to understand something, so he got up and said goodbye to Li Ting and Ren Ping. The purpose of his trip has not been achieved, so of course there is no need to stay here to "talk about family affairs". But he gave Li Ting a "sword" of high quality, saying it was a gift for him.

In fact, Li Ting can tell that the pattern of this sword is very beautiful, and there is a pattern of Jiahui on it that he has seen before, it is very similar to the coat of arms on the letter that the Duchess gave him, I am afraid that the old man They gave Li Ting some treasure handed down by their family—it's just that Li Ting dared not accept such kindness.

After Huo Li left, Xie Xiangfeng said: "Xu You has already repaired the loopholes in the defensive air layer. Su Xingyun said that he was attacked when he came back. I am afraid that the battlefield has expanded, and part of the Wofushuo galaxy People are ready to do something to us."

"What about the reaction of Knight Island?"

"Since Xie Junhuai's illness, it seems that his eight horses have been managing these things. Recently, those eight people are sneaky and do not know what they are doing. They seem to be taking orders from a very mysterious person. They have never seen that person... "

Li Ting frowned, afraid that the war would start much earlier than he expected.
