Chapter 94 Civil turmoil (2)

Opposite the communication projection, Audley was still dressed as a man, with his hands on the edge of the balcony railing with gloves on, as if he was blowing cold wind.

Her face was extremely ugly, and she opened her mouth and said, "Jiang! Something happened..."

After saying this, Audley realized that Garcia was also beside him. Jiang Jianming had talked to her about the cause and effect before, so she was not surprised, she just bowed her head to show her respect: "Your Highness."

Garcia nodded, eyes like frost: "Tell him about you, long story short."

"...Yes." Audrey took a shaky breath, and the two clearly saw a drop of cold sweat slipping from the temples of the Lance Patriarch, who had been in power since childhood.

She pursed her lips and glanced around, and her voice was tight: "Jiang, listen to me calmly, the two proposals were rejected by someone who leaked it, and now most of the disabled people in Aslan Star City... They're making a fuss."

Jiang Jianming changed color: "What?"

"What's more troublesome is that I don't know where the news came from, saying that His Majesty the Emperor wants... to appoint me as the reserve, and from now on stop assigning new nobles."

Audley gritted his teeth, "Those remarks say that our empire will gradually change into the appearance of the old empire, completely respected by the nobles and the new crystal human beings. You can open the Zhiwang and see."

The night sky outside the window seemed to thicken invisibly. Jiang Jianming glanced at Garcia with a solemn expression. The latter understood, turned his hand to open the virtual screen on the desk, and pulled the light blue panel over.

Jiang Jianming opened his mouth to ask Audley where to look, but at a glance, he knew that there was no need to ask.

The entries of the blockbusters on Zhiwang are red, and any page or platform that you click on is an intense and crazy verbal confrontation.

[Just came back from the Prime Minister's side, and the sky fell in a blink of an eye... How could this be? ]

[Those without crystal bones deserve to be regarded as inferior and incomplete products, recognize the reality, tsk]

[Isn't the treatment of disabled people better now than decades ago? I don't understand what you are suddenly arguing about]

[You can't stand after kneeling for a long time? Then let me climb it]

Click to refresh, and in a blink of an eye, countless newly posted comments pop up.

[Today, the Amorphous compatriots were killed, and the next ones to be oppressed are us powerless civilians! The next one is the new noble! ! Until the same dark age! ! ]

[If the emperor is still there, seeing this situation... alas]

[? ? What a brainless thing, still engaging in the worship of the emperor? Wake up, Emperor Kaios himself is a tyrant. In those days, he was addicted to power and forced to death the founding commander. How many soldiers were killed in the sacred battle? ]

[This country has also begun to rot, but it is inevitable, now all human beings are under the rule of an empire... I dare not say more]

"Bullshit."

Jiang Jianming swept his eyes and laughed angrily, and turned off the screen, "If the empire really wants to oppress them, can this kind of words appear on Zhiwang?"

When people lose their minds, it is too easy to be incited by words. The excited crowd is like a gasoline factory in disrepair. A little spark can blow up a huge flame.

Undoubtedly, the heat of this violent flame has now burned very close to them.

There was a vague noise outside the window, and Garcia looked up and glanced down: "There are people on the street."

Jiang Jianming shook his head and said in a low voice: "It shouldn't be such a mess to fight for rights and interests. Obviously, all these years, everything is getting better."

Speaking of which, he was taken aback for a moment.

Jiang Jianming frowned slowly and said to himself uncertainly, "Yes, Mingming..."

A strange sense of separation was suddenly realized by him, yes, obviously... the current empire is indeed taking care of the lives of the disabled, why is there such a trouble?

Since life for the disabled is getting better every year, and since the high-level authorities have approved or even supported the establishment of the Protection Association, there is no reason to be so resolute and even ruthless not to let the disabled enter the army.

Think about it in reverse, if someone at the top really wants to suppress the disabled, and that person has the power to veto the interception proposal with one vote...

So now, there should be no chance to form this kind of atmosphere in Aslan Star City that is quite friendly to the disabled people and keeps getting better every year.

No, it doesn't make sense, it's illogical.

It's like the most important piece of the puzzle is missing, so the cause and effect cannot be continuous.

Jiang Jianming pressed his forehead, his expression solemn: No, no, now is not the time to investigate the cause.

Regardless of the reason behind it, the military's decision has already been used by the enemy. If this conflict is not quelled as soon as possible, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Jiang! This posture is not right. I think someone is stirring up the water and taking the opportunity to incite the people," Audley said calmly. "You told me during the day that there may be enemy forces lurking in the empire, will you..."

"Maybe it has already started."

Jiang Jianming lowered his eyes slowly, he looked at his hands, "The conspiracy... has already begun."

At his alma mater Kaios that night, he asked why the current atmosphere of the empire was surging.

Teacher Luo Hai's guess is that the suspense of the crown prince's position has become a fuse, leading to the emergence of contradictions within the empire.

But what if, what if a third party took advantage of this period of public turmoil to fan the flames...?

The scenes that saw after returning to China flashed back to eyes: the arrogant and domineering Brandon family are chess pieces, the bloody military school children are chess pieces, and the crying crystal followers, the people cheering for His Excellency the Prime Minister...

New humans, disabled humans, nobles, commoners.

In this thriving empire, all the people who are longing for their future have become pawns played by the behind-the-scenes.

What will be the final formation?

What is going to happen?

Audley lowered her head and stroked her wrist. She said softly, "Jiang, do you think... if you let them know that Lance's owner is a disabled human, maybe... can you stabilize people's hearts?"

The glass door on the opposite balcony was pushed open, and Diana stood there timidly. Her long hair was ruffled by the wind, and she whispered, "Brother..."

Jiang Jianming shook his head: "Don't be impulsive, since there are people behind the provocation, this is not something you can solve by setting yourself on fire. I will ask the military what it means."

He remembered Lauren's kind face in front of the public again, and the deadly jewelry Xie Yinxing wore on his wrist, he couldn't help but add one more sentence: "You must be careful tonight, just stay at home and don't trust anyone."

Audley was silent. After a while, she nodded bitterly and put her restless sister into her arms: "I know, I won't mess around... After all, I still have Diana."

"Gerhard Lauren's banquet is held until the next sunrise every year. At a time like tonight, he is very likely to incite the people to do something."

Audley pursed his lips and looked into the distance, "I've already asked my people to inquire about the situation, and now I can only act according to the circumstances. Jiang, please protect yourself... I've hung up, feel free to contact me."

After hanging up the communication, the small projection window disappeared in silence.

Jiang Jianming stood there for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and then took a glass of cold water and poured it on himself.

When he turned around, Garcia leaned against the window with his arms around him and looked at him, as if mocking his hard work with his eyes.

Jiang Jianming had no choice but to smile bitterly.

Garcia said in a low voice: "Is this empire important to you?"

Jiang Jianming was about to reach out to make another communication, but he stopped when he heard the sound.

He turned his head to look at Garcia deeply, his calm eyebrows softened a little under the light.

"...I can't tell, Your Highness."

The color of his eyes also became vivid, just like the warm April wind blowing over the earth, the snow on the ebony turned into water droplets and rolled round in the wind.

"But... Maybe, people always have to have a home in their lives, a place that can be called home, which carries some memories and some thoughts. People are willing to live for it, or die for it."

"Hometown." Garcia repeated the word, letting the two words run over between his teeth.

The noise outside the window gradually grew louder, and the voices of people shouting could be heard inside the house. It seemed that more and more residents began to run into the streets, not knowing where they were rushing.

Crack-!

The sound of glass shattering was so clear that someone who was too emotional began to smash and abuse.

"Like, many, many years later, maybe you still remember."

Jiang Jianming walked over to Garcia and stretched his arms: "In the Aslan Star City in the first galaxy, on such a night of chaos..."

In the distance, the street lamp seemed to have been smashed by the crazy guy. The streak of fire was reflected on the window glass. The corner of Yu Jiang Jianming's eyebrows swept across, and the red light shone in the depths of the pupils of the young crippled human being. .

His face was pale but he smiled slightly, and in such a situation where the building was going to be at stake, he still gave the illusion of being at ease.

"I hugged you like this."

Jiang Jianming hooked Garcia's neck and brought the man into his arms.

He lowered his eyelashes gently: "it's alright, nothing to be afraid of, I'll solve it all. Then we celebrate the New Year together, you said you want to take me to a place, right?"

Garcia didn't show any expression, but rubbed the thin shoulder of the disabled human, and said softly, "... um."

The snow on the edge of the window has not yet melted, and the night and the firelight make the bodies of the two embraced into a silhouette. When their chests are touching, they can feel each other's heartbeat.

Garcia raised his hand, and the fingertips that had just been wrapped in the bandage first fell on Jiang Jianming's waist like a dragonfly, and then stroked his back all the way up.

The movements were rough, and the clothes were wrinkled, and the palm seemed to be ravaging its possession of the territory.

"I have no hometown and no destination."

Garcia made a sudden voice, and his voice became hoarse. When he raised his cold green pupils, the depths of his eyes were out of focus.

The empire is not his country, and the royal family is not his family. Even the steel fortress, which is covered with snow all the year round, is just a place to hang out.

So he still doesn't quite understand how the heroic soul, who has worked hard for a piece of land since ancient times, has such a fiery love for his hometown.

but……

"But I met...you."

But if there is anything else in this ruthless universe, it carries some of his memories and some thoughts, making him willing to live for it, or die for it.

Garcia let go of Jiang Jianming's arm, thinking to himself: that might be the person in front of him.

Even if it is not this person in the end, it will not be anything else.

"Although I still don't know what Ryan Kaios looks like in your memory. But... if at this moment, you need a weapon to fight."

Garcia fondled Jiang Jianming's face, and then said calmly, "Then use me."

Outside the window, the fire suddenly bloomed for a moment, and then withered and fell.Darkness is back.

The author has something to say: You are my shackles, and I am your minions.
