Reclaiming the Way of the Empire

Chapter 81 Invitation

Jiang Yulang's words were too horrifying, not only Li Ting, but also Ren Pingsheng, who was always expressionless beside him, was moved.Jiang Yulang also knew that these words were not very good, he gritted his teeth anxiously: "What I said is true, you have to believe me!"

"We don't know about the Wofushuo galaxy, but there is one thing I want to ask you to confirm." Li Ting asked Jiang Yulang first without talking about whether to answer or not, "I see that you have a Western sword on your body. People from the German galaxy, you have studied in the Wolfsaw galaxy since you were young, can you coexist with the sword of the Wolfsaw galaxy?"

Jiang Yulang didn't know why Li Ting asked this question, so he nodded naturally: "They are all symbiotic weapons, what's wrong with them, I prefer to use swords..."

"That is to say, you can control both?" Li Ting asked.

"It should be possible, but I haven't tried it..." Jiang Yulang whispered, "Why do you ask me this...?"

Naturally, Li Ting didn't answer Jiang Yulang immediately, but pulled Ren Pingsheng aside: "Pingsheng, let me ask you, did you say that Xie Junhuai once asked you not to trust Yulouxue anyway?"

"I don't need to lie to you about this matter. If I plan to lie to you, I won't tell you what he said at first."

Li Ting took a deep breath and nodded, "I see."

in case,

Xie Junhuai had known for a long time that Yulouxue's identity was unreliable, and that she was probably a spy from the Wofushuo galaxy, so all the previous actions could be explained.Yu Louxue's voice needs to be covered and hidden, otherwise once the fact that he can coexist with the sword is revealed, the relationship between Wofushuo Galaxy and Xie Junhuai will also be exposed.

Therefore, Xie Junhuai chose to use his test report to steal money and keep Yu Louxue, a spy.

Now adding Jiang Yulang's words, Li Ting understands perfectly, but most of the remaining things will have to go to Li Hua for verification.

Here, Jiang Yulang looked at Li Ting and Ren Ping muttering for a long time, and he suddenly said: "Me! I would like to exchange Kishi GUMI's whereabouts in exchange for you to help me!"

"An GUMI?" Li Ting turned his head, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, "How do you know we are looking for An GUMI?"

"Recently, people in the Wolfsaw galaxy have spread the word that you are Rachel's son, so I naturally know that you are looking for him. I, I know where he is!"

At the same time, in front of the palace where Liu Lixi was imprisoned, Howard and Rachel stood quietly at the door. The old man seemed a little hesitant, wondering if he should open the door.His responsibility - he needs to confirm whether the person inside is the queen Liu Lixi, and he is afraid that after opening the door - the person inside is not Liu Lixi.

The appearance of Liu Lixi fighting against the strongest knights in the empire by himself left great fear in the hearts of many veteran cabinet ministers.Including Howard, after Liu Lixi successfully became the princess, they more or less revised the succession law, hoping to limit Liu Lixi's actions.

When Crown Prince Edward succeeded to the throne and became Edward IV, Liu Lixi was named Queen accordingly.However, the cabinet ministers rejected Edward IV's request to name him Queen Leshare because he was a man.

This kind of thing that the queen does not have a title is really rare in the history of the Xingwang Dynasty. It can be seen that the royal family and cabinet ministers don't like this male queen at all.The old queen who was still alive tried her best to arrange a lot of beautiful aristocratic women in the palace, but Edward IV didn't even look at those beauties.

Liu Lixi's position was very stable, and she even gave birth to the eldest princess Anne soon after.As the years progressed, the old queen passed away, and many important ministers were unable to restrain the emperor and queen.They only hoped that the male queen could give birth to a legitimate male heir for the royal family, and the ministers no longer cared about his birth.

Rather,

At this time, the war broke out, and Edward IV was determined to conquer himself, and he never came back after this trip.In the midst of the royal struggle, Howard championed the young Princess Anne as heir apparent.Mastered the military and political power of the Wofushuo Galaxy Empire, and at the same time relied on the name of the young princess to secretly imprison the queen until today eight years later.

There are SS-level security doors inside and outside the palace, and there are triple guards inside and outside, all selected from the best imperial noble mercenaries.Outside the palace, there is a particle stream as a monitoring system. As long as it touches any particle beam, an alarm will be triggered, and then the imperial guards will surround the place.

The palace is built on a high mountain, and there is only one passage to supply food and drinking water up and down.Manpower cannot escape from the palace on the top of the mountain. As long as the aircraft is used, old man Howard will soon know. Moreover, there are vast plains without any hiding places on all sides below the mountain. Liu Lixi will not be allowed to escape.

but,

Howard glanced at the Marquis Rachel behind him, and the Marquis smiled at him respectfully and politely.After a smile, Howard took a deep breath, and slowly pushed open the door of the palace——

This is a very empty bedroom, with many old paper books placed in a mess, the balcony window is open, and the curtains are flying in the wind.There was a small teapot on the small table near the door, and there were some cracked pastries beside it. Two chairs were tilted here and there, and the sheets on the bed were missing. The whole bedroom was in a mess.

Howard felt a "thump" in his heart, and rushed to the direction of the terrace, but saw the sheets torn into strips and tied up on the terrace.Trembling, the old man pulled the self-made rope, hesitated for a long time and finally said: "No, it's impossible! This rope can't bear his weight alone!"

Rachel also came in and observed everything in the room quietly. Although this place is too simple for a queen of an empire, it is indeed well-equipped for a prisoner, with a clean and tidy bathroom inside. , The bathroom looked very spacious, and the sound of ticking water came from inside.

Rachel took a step over there, the shower curtain of the bathtub was pulled up, and water gushed out, frowning and seeing that there seemed to be something in the bathtub, Rachel took the courage to move over to pull the shower curtain.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Hearing Rachel's scream, Howard immediately ran back from the terrace and rushed into the bathroom, only to find that there was a boy lying in the bathtub, whose skin was very pale and swollen because of being soaked in the water .His face was pale, his eyes were deeply sunken, and his hands were tightly locked near the switch of the bathtub.

That lock, Howard knew at a glance, this is the lock he personally locked on Liu Lixi eight years ago, to prevent Liu Lixi from escaping.Now he is locked on this strange child.

The child looked about ten years old, with long black hair. Although Empress Liu Lixi also had black hair, she was not at such a young age.

Rachel was frightened by this young man. The old man Howard lowered his head as if he was about to talk about the young man's aura, but he heard an inaudible sentence: "Save, save, save me..."

"Come on!" Marquis Howard yelled angrily, "Get the best doctor! Save him at all costs!"

The guards guarding outside the palace ran in quickly, led the medical officer to rescue the young man, and the old man Howard's expression became very ugly.No matter who this boy is, now he can confirm one thing, that is: as Rachel said, Empress Liu Lixi has escaped from the palace of the Wofushuo galaxy.

Rachel was still in shock, finally calmed down, looked at Marquis Howard, and finally said after a while: "How is your lord going to deal with this matter?"

The old man frowned: Of course the whole country should be notified of the disappearance of the queen of the empire, but Liu Lixi is under house arrest by them. If the whole country is notified, the contradiction between the cabinet and the royal family will inevitably be exposed, and knights like Owen or Duke Robben will take advantage of the opportunity. It is bound to rally to overthrow the cabinet.

However, if this matter is kept silent, Liu Lixi, who escaped, will make the cabinet's actions public one day sooner or later, then it will be too late for the cabinet to take action again at that time, and it will be too late for the cabinet. Too passive.

Preemptive strikes and waiting for changes are not enough, the old man Howard couldn't come up with any ideas for a while, so the old man turned to look at Rachel: "Then what do you think?"

"Said Xingxing to watch the conflict between the royal family and the Zhuxia tribe, find out the evidence that the queen murdered Edward IV, and order the whole country to pursue it."

"..." Howard didn't answer right away. If we do what Rachel said, the public's attention will shift from the disappearance of the royal queen to the people of the Zhuxia tribe. Being exposed will not do any good to the Xingwang dynasty's rule.

In this way, whether it is Princess Anne, Duke Robben, or Owen Knight, these people who grew up in the Wolfsaw galaxy all carry the sin of blood. As the pearl of the empire, Rachel can naturally have the most popular support. There is nothing wrong with inheriting the throne.

Howard gave Rachel a meaningful look:

"So that's it. You have a long-term plan, but the old man is short-sighted and can't care about so much."

"I didn't ask you to agree immediately." Rachel knew that the old fox Howard would not let go so easily, of course she had to wait, so she nodded and said, "Let's see who that young man is first. Maybe we can find clues to the queen."

In the Royal Hospital in the Wolfsaw galaxy, through the joint efforts of several doctors, the young man was still very weak, but he could barely answer one or two questions. When Howard and Rachel rushed from the queen's palace to the Royal Hospital At the hospital, the director of the hospital respectfully told Marquis Howard the news: "Honorable Marquis, that young man said that he is an international student studying at the Imperial Military Academy, from the Five Sacred Sword Sect of the Wobend Galaxy, His name is Jiang Yulang. He was knocked unconscious during a field training, and he woke up in that room afterwards. We have verified his name and identity, and there is no problem. The Royal Military Academy has indeed reported the disappearance of this international student. "

Howard frowned: "Wobend galaxy?"

"Yes, we have also checked his social relations. Although this person has made friends with many upper-class nobles on campus and is ambitious, he has no understanding of Chinese civilization. Even his classmates said that he does not want to return to Wo Go to the Binder system."

Howard was silent, and after thinking about it, he ordered the dean to check Jiang Yulang's information carefully.

After the dean and housekeeper of the Royal Hospital took their orders, Howard turned to look at Rachel, and respectfully made an invitation gesture: "My dear lady, I wonder if you would like to give me the face to be able to accompany you?" Shall I go to see little Princess Anne together?"

Rachel also bowed and returned a noble salute: "It's an honor!"
