Chapter 221 Promise farther (1)
When that day came, Jiang Jianming just didn't go to the official residence with Ryan.
He sat in the doorway of his little ward and played with the dog.
The thrown ball was thrown into the air, and a vigorous shadow jumped up and caught it.
"Wang!"
The black and white dog dashed back as soon as he landed, wagging his tail, biting the ball, and cupping his hand with bright eyes.
Jiang Jianming touched his head with a smile: "Good dog."
Seth has grown a lot, and the size of the medium-sized dog has grown. Sometimes Sa Huan can bump him into a stagger, and because of this, don't know how many times Ryan has trained him.
Every time he watched the grand prince make a fierce face at a dog, it was funny and cute.
When the puppy was scolded to the point of drooping his ears and making a pitiful snort, he couldn't bear to come over to persuade him, and then his Highness gave him a stern look.
In the past two years, Jiang Jianming only felt that it had passed by like a dream.
Everything is good, and a new day is always better than yesterday.
Since His Royal Highness Kaios really took power, the new policy of Blue Mother Star has gradually set foot on the right track.
The urban areas began to thoroughly investigate corruption, abolish redundant officials, and reorganize their armaments to fight against alien creatures that come from time to time; the wild areas gradually arrest the evil lords, and the homeless poor are either recruited into the army, or He was employed as a laborer, and he built bridges and roads on the spot.
Lin Ge seems to be doing well in Zone Z. She and Ryan still don't deal with each other, and they quarrel in the video every once in a while. He told him in private that the uncivilized "barbarians" in the wild area would also chant the name of His Highness Kaios during this time.
Human beings are so contradictory, sometimes they are easily fooled, and sometimes they are unbelievably sober.
They know who treats them as livestock and who treats them as fellow citizens.
"However, many things were clearly suggested by you," Lin Ge occasionally felt indignant, "What's going on with that little bastard, are you really going to hide you for the rest of your life?"
"Otherwise, do you want me to be pointed at and scolded human beings every day and mad at me alive?"
Jiang Jianming hugged the dog quietly, "It's hard to live a quiet life, don't make trouble for me. Both you and him."
In fact, he really thinks so, and he is by no means compromising. Glory and fame are all things outside the body, and now the years are happy enough, no matter how much he can't afford, this is called self-knowledge...
Just as Jiang Jianming was thinking in a trance and was about to throw a fly ball at Seth again, the buzzing of his wrist interrupted his movement.
He opened it, the sender was Ryan, who was supposed to have a meeting at the official residence today, and the content was only five short words.
[Empire envoy arrives]
Jiang Jianming was startled, and an ominous premonition suddenly appeared.
Since Ryan came to Blue Mother Star for two years, the Empire has never intervened in Blue Mother Star's government affairs. How could they send any envoys without warning today?
"Wow!" Seth rubbed at his feet as if urged, looking expectantly at the ball in his master's hand.
But of course the ball could not be thrown, Jiang Jianming immediately drove the dog back to the house. Suddenly heard the explosion outside the window, and nine gunshots sounded one after another.
——The ninth cannon salute is the etiquette to welcome the imperial decree!
Jiang Jianming took a breath, and the words "unkindness" came into his mind.
He hurriedly changed into a formal dress and put on his coat again. Before going out, he hesitated for a moment, then turned back and opened the drawer, and put on the leather wrist guards that he used to hide his identity as a human being in the wild.
The wristbands are already very old, and thanks to the fact that they were washed once a few days ago when they were organizing things, they were fairly clean.
Jiang Jianming picked up the folding mecha wristband that Ryan had given him a few months ago, put it on the wristband, and then went out.
...
The official residence of the Blue Mother Star.
Nine pitch-black salutes were heavily pressed against the gate. The white marble steps were swept clean and spotless, a small royal starship hovered in mid-air, the imperial flag fluttered high, and the gangway tens of meters high was covered with a thick golden carpet, majestic.
Hundreds of officials stood in two rows, with their heads bowed.
All of them were dressed in aristocratic or military gowns, with a pilgrimage gold satin draped across their shoulders. As a rule, they had to stand and wait until the envoy left.
However, if you look closely, it is not difficult to find that the complexion of each face is extremely ugly. Sweat dripped out of many people's foreheads, and it flowed into their eyes with burning pain, and they didn't dare to raise their hands to wipe them.
"...Therefore, for the extension and revitalization of the human race, and for the inheritance and development of the Blue Mother Star civilization, His Majesty the Holy Emperor has made a decision: the main population and main living resources will be greatly migrated to the first and second galaxies. "
In the reception hall, a golden-robed envoy stood in the center surrounded by the imperial army, with brown hair and blue eyes, a plump figure, and his arms raised the brocade scroll in his hand. A loudspeaker attached to his ear made the shrill voice spread throughout the mansion.
"From now on, the three star cities of Wall, Eden, and Vassen will faithfully represent the mercy of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and generously accept residents from the Blue Mother Star. The first batch of starships will depart within ten days at the latest!"
"I, the second son of the Golden Snake Fiennes family, Bin Fiennes, is solely responsible for the relocation affairs. On the day the imperial decree arrives, he will be in charge of the Blue Mother Star."
Kaios stood at the front of the opposite side, wearing a black brocade dress with double-breasted gold buttons, and the golden tassels on his left chest shone brightly, making him even more beautiful and arrogant.
The young man's face was as cold as iron.
"—Kind this!"
Suddenly, the imperial decree was closed.
The envoy of the Fiennes family held his head high, maintaining a dignified attitude, "Kaios Odin, do you accept the order?"
This high-pitched voice entered Jiang Jianming's ears just as he hurriedly stepped into the gate of the official residence.
Jiang Jianming glanced around, silently mixed into the standing crowd, and put one hand on a man's shoulder.
He lowered his voice: "What's going on?"
He asked so naturally, his voice was calm, and he was dignified. Others obviously didn't recognize him, but they subconsciously thought he was an important person in the official residence, and came late in a hurry.
And because of the anxiety and panic in heart, didn't dare to turn head and replied in a low voice:
"His Majesty's decree said that the resources of the Blue Mother Planet are exhausted and alien creatures are rampant, and it is no longer suitable for human habitation. It is necessary to carry out a large migration, and move the residents and resources away in batches!"
"The great nobles have come to Yongyuan Star City and will take over the powers of Star City. The day the imperial edict arrives, it will be executed immediately!"
"...!"
Jiang Jianming's pupils tightened.
A thunderbolt is just that. "Relocating in batches" sounds nice, but the first few batches brought the best people and the only remaining resources, leaving the untouchables and garbage heaps with their lives like mustards. Who cares about you?
He and His Highness had long expected that the Blue Mother Star would be abandoned by the Empire.
But in any case, never thought that Odin II would act so quickly, or in such a radical way... If he directly abandoned hundreds of millions of people, is the emperor really not afraid of the turmoil caused by the panic of the people! ?
— No, not right. Jiang Jianming suddenly became enlightened. The news of the successful development of the crystal particle tranquilizer has not been officially announced until today. Is it for this?
If so, when the cruel truth of the Great Migration was exposed, the emperor could claim that the crystal particle tranquilizer could not be supplied to all human beings, and that abandoning the blue mother planet was a last resort for the continuation of the race.
The people who got the life-saving medicine did not express their gratitude, at least they could not organize a large-scale resistance. Over time, it will even give birth to the sense of superiority that "we are the higher humans who survive the survival of the fittest", and completely cut off from the blue mother star's compatriots.
And the abandoned humans have no medicine, no weapons, no resources, and are not accepted by the compatriots in the upper-class star city, and can only wait to die in a harsh environment...
Thinking of this, Jiang Jianming only felt cold all over his body, gritted his teeth and asked, "Where's Your Highness? Where's the envoy?"
"It's all in the hall. His Highness is furious and is negotiating with the envoy... uh, negotiating."
- Negotiations. This word sounds normal, but in this situation, it is too euphemistic to put it on His Highness Kaios.
The reason why this group of officials stood here in a cold sweat and fighting with each other, on the one hand, was of course panic because of the impending catastrophe of the Blue Mother Star.
On the one hand, he was also afraid that the young prince inside would come with "anger from the heart, and wickedness to the side of courage", and slaughtered the envoy on the spot.
Jiang Jianming closed his eyes, and lightly pressed his fingertips on his wrist to adjust his breathing.
Fortunately, put on the wrist guard before going out.
His happy quiet days seemed to be coming to an end.
...
In the reception hall, the air was already so anxious that it was about to explode.
Kaios stood there, looking indifferent.
Neither salute nor bow.
The golden-robed envoy Fiennes' brows gradually turned upside down. He raised the imperial decree in his hand and said in a high-pitched voice, "Kaios Odin, do you accept the decree!?"
Chen stood behind Kaios, bowing his head according to etiquette, and a drop of cold sweat fell on the bridge of his nose.
He urged in a low voice, "Your Highness."
After a few seconds of silence, Prince Kaios looked at the envoy and said in a deep voice:
"The envoy came from afar to bring the will of His Majesty the great and holy emperor, and the Blue Mother Planet naturally obeys the orders of the empire. However, I still cannot understand the details of the migration plan. Please enlighten me."
Fiennes smiled, his smile was like the golden snake on the family crest, cold and sticky, and malicious.
"His Royal Highness doesn't have to worry about it, you just need to faithfully implement His Majesty's will and cooperate with the work of the subordinate officer. The subordinate officer can naturally arrange the follow-up affairs properly."
"You should also know that the migration of human beings across the galaxy is an ancient feat. Your Majesty is worried about the blue mother planet at the moment..."
"—The Empire can be watching here."
Fiennes raised his eyes, "His Royal Highness, surely you won't make an inappropriate joke with the lower official at this time?"
In just a few sentences, Chen Hank's palms were soaked with sweat.
Looking forward, he could only see the taut spine under the young lord's black dress, and the despairing gold in the hands of the envoy.
How to do?
Head-to-head is impossible, just as Fiennes threatened... Since the envoys came here, the empire must be watching from the rear, and millions of starships and cosmos-class heavy artillery weapons must also be on standby.
With the strength of the Blue Mother Star alone, it is impossible to compete head-on with the Empire. Not to mention that the envoys came so unexpectedly, they were not prepared at all.
Once the face is turned, the Imperial Fleet captures Star City, as easy as crushing an ant with a compactor...
However, do you want to advise His Highness to accept the decree?
Once the decree is received, the power immediately falls. Star City will be disarmed on the spot, and the administration will be taken over by the envoy Fiennes. These Blue Mother Star forces will be strictly monitored... Isn't that even the "arm" of the man's arm being cut off?
To advance is to hit a stone with an egg, and to retreat is to cut off one's own vitality.
It was a dead end before and after.
How to do how to do! ?
Suddenly, the platinum curly-haired prince chuckled lightly.
He raised his eyes, his lips and teeth were sharp: "I think... the envoy is the one who can joke more, right?"
Saying that, Kaios stepped forward. In the hall where the needles could be heard, footsteps clapped on the floor.
In an instant, an invisible sense of oppression spread from the young prince's body. Those green eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling seemed to have turned into the eyes of a cosmic evil, cold, treacherous and bloodthirsty.
Fiennes was so terrified that he took two steps back and shouted angrily: "Kaios, how dare you!! Guards..."
——It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, several confidants standing behind the prince, including Chen, are all biting the bullet and ready to work hard.
Some touched the firearms around their waists, some prepared to shine, and some even roared, on the tip of their tongue—
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Kaios stopped his momentum and shook his head with a clear smile.
"The emperor's move is for the sake of the future of human civilization. His vision is not too far-fetched, and his courage is not too majestic."
"Your Excellency came here thousands of miles away, how could Blue Mother Star not cooperate with the work?"
Everyone was so frightened by His Royal Highness's panting that their souls flew, their bodies were soaked with sweat, and they were almost collapsed.
The culprit seemed to be okay, smiling and reaching out to the entrance of the hall, "Right... Aslan?"
Countless gazes turned to the direction where Kaios reached out.
"Your Excellency, don't worry too much."
With a clear voice, a thin figure walked in unhurriedly.
"Blue Mother Star is completely loyal to the Empire, and naturally accepts all the will of His Majesty the Emperor."
Chen Hank raised his head in shock, glanced between the visitor and His Highness, his eyes suddenly became resentful.
It seems to be saying: oh, asked His Highness before you didn't recognize it...
No, he really hid someone secretly!
