Chapter 223 Promise farther (3)

The situation was as Jiang Jianming had expected.

All of a sudden, the people in the blue mother star were angry, and more than 20 riots broke out in just three days. The progress of inventorying resources is also slow. Either the numbers are wrong here, or there is no turnover.

The entire group of envoys headed by Fiennes was devastated, but unfortunately no one could see through Lin Ge's secret chess - after all, no one had ever thought that the high official residence could have anything to do with the lord of the wild area.

On the night of the fifth day, Fiennes, whose eyes were dark blue, finally collapsed, kicking a dozen or so bare brains in front of him: "Call me Kaios!!"

The guard was ordered to go, and Fiennes waved his big hand again: "—No, wait."

Under the light, the brown-haired and blue-eyed middle-aged nobleman pondered for a moment, perhaps because he felt that he could not offend the prince, so a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Forget it, go and bring the young staff officer who is with the prince."

Everything went smoothly after that.

More than a dozen guards broke into the room in the middle of the night, and the two who were sleeping together were awakened, and instantly realized that they had the last and only chance.

The prince was sleeping on the outside, when Huo Ran got up and released the crystal bone, angering the guards for their presumptuousness. And Jiang Jianming took advantage of Ryan's body and the shield of the crystal bone, and quickly took out the tranquilizer from his close-fitting pocket and gave himself a shot.

Guard: "Lord Fiennes wants to see His Excellency Dawn Aslan, please come with us."

In just a few seconds, Jiang Jianming had stuffed the empty needle tube into the quilt, and stood up as if nothing had happened: "Please allow me to wash and change."

In the past few days, the atmosphere has been tense, and the two of them have been cautious about the drinking water, and slept in their clothes at night. Therefore, Jiang Jianming just put on his coat, and then simply wiped his face with cold water to wake up, and he said it was ok.

Ryan was about to keep up, but the guards stopped between the two, nervously pressing the gun on his waist, "Your Highness, please stay behind."

The prince's expression darkened immediately. Jiang Jianming gave him a look and whispered, "Your Highness, it's okay."

... Ryan gritted his teeth secretly and took a half step back. He also knew that only when he was not present would Fiennes be able to let go of his vigilance.

It's just Jiang Jianming's body, in case there is an emergency... He dared not let people leave his sight these days, and now he wants to put it by the enemy's side!

Jiang Jianming increased his tone: "Your Highness."

Those black eyes were calm and gentle, clearly saying "the bigger picture" and "trust me".

Ryan didn't want to meet those eyes, so he turned away with a cold snort: "Tell Fiennes, at nine o'clock every morning and evening, I want to see my people appear safely in front of the window of the mansion office."

"That's the bottom line."

...

From the prince's bedroom to the main office of the official residence, the corridor was shrouded in darkness, with only the cold footsteps of guards on both sides.

Jiang Jianming was caught in the middle, his eyes closed and his eyes closed, his drooping cheeks were pale, and he looked too weak, even a little fragile.

Ryan chose to stay on the blue mother planet, and the choices that he could make had been compressed to the limit.

It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and he is actually not very sure that he can win a life for the blue mother star from Fiennes.

But had to try.

The guards stopped at the door of the familiar room. After the authorization was recognized, the automatic sensor door of the office opened.

"Please come in."

The moment he stepped into the office, Jiang Jianming's pupils shrank, and his body trembled uncontrollably. Not out of fear, but out of...

Crystal bone.

In this small office, there were four tall guards standing on both sides, and behind them released crystal bones that were as tall as one person.

And Fiennes sat behind the desk with a sneer, and the moonlight fell from the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating the golden robes on the nobles.

No one can guess that the comer will be a remnant crystal human, but the rank suppression of the crystal bone is a shame for the new crystal human, and it can bring continuous pain, which is more deterrent than pointing a gun.

"Your Excellency."

Jiang Jianming's lips were visibly blue and white, and he said hoarsely: "I don't think there is a contradiction between us that needs to be done."

The severe pain quietly penetrated every bone, and if it wasn't for the sedative, he would have fallen to the ground and vomited blood by now.

"There's no need to play at night, young man."

Fiennes crossed his hands into a tower. Obviously, Jiang Jianming's weakness pleased the great noble.

He squinted to observe the performance of the "staff officer", hummed and said with a smile, "You and I both know the current situation... I hope you are a smart person."

……here we go.

The moonlight swept over the dark-haired young man's brows, who endured the pain. The game had already begun, and every sentence that followed was a risk of survival.

But he has no room for mistakes. If he is careless and Fiennes sees that he has a plan, then everything will be over.

Be careful, be careful.

"I don't consider myself stupid, sir."

Jiang Jianming took a step forward. Thanks to his endurance of enduring chronic crystal disorder in those years, he can still speak normally, "Also, I do know the situation...perhaps more clearly than you think."

"I not only know that at this moment, your subordinates can end my life at any time, but also know that at this moment, the muzzle of the empire is also aimed at the blue mother star."

"I know that to this day, the blue mother planet is a huge burden to the empire. It is like... the garbage that is transported to the wild area every year. The emperor wished he could burn us all up earlier. It's just because of reputation and public opinion that I didn't do the most extreme step."

"Bold!!"

Fiennes stood up against the table, his face full of anger: "How dare you speculate on the holy will and slander the merciful and loving Emperor of His Majesty—"

In an instant, the eight sharp crystal bones of the guards stabbed the black-haired youth in the center like a halberd.

Jiang Jianming raised his face slowly, his expression dignified and fearless.

Instead of retreating, he took two steps forward against the crystal bone. "I know even more that if the Great Migration fails due to the resistance of the Blue Mother Star, the Empire will immediately have an excuse to annihilate the Blue Mother Star—"

A crystal bone pierced into the white porcelain-like neck, and a thin line of blood flowed down quietly and did not sink into the collar.

"Lord Fiennes, I am the staff of His Highness Kaios, and I am a Blue Mother who grew up on the Blue Mother Star."

Jiang Jianming didn't know, and said solemnly: "I have no reason not to cooperate with you in terms of public affairs and private affairs, loyalty and righteousness."

"In fact, I hope more than anyone else that the empire can successfully complete the migration, and hope that there will be no rebellion on the blue mother planet. At least, my star city can be saved from the fate of being evaporated into ashes under the fire of artillery. Because there is still hope for survival, death But it can only mean that everything is in vain.”

The sound echoed. The young man looked directly at the big noble in front of him, then raised his eyebrows and bowed his head to point at his chest.

"Please give me the opportunity to assist you with this migration mission."

Fiennes stared at the young man in front of him in shock, and his heart was already shaken by Jiang Jianming's words.

In fact, he had thought about it before. This young staff member was someone that Kaios valued. If he shivered, nodded and bowed after entering, and flattered the empire when his lord was under house arrest, then the eight achievements would be a conspiracy.

But the young man's rhetoric was unexpected.

Smart, bold and aware of current affairs. It is indeed a bit of a skill, and it is worth working with. Fiennes made this evaluation in his heart, adjusted his sitting position, waved his hand, and asked the guard to put away the crystal bone.

"You better be true, young man."

Fiennes said leisurely: "Say your name again."

"Dawn Aslan."

"Very good, I need Blue Mother Star to organize the first batch of starships to take off within five days, and complete the entire migration project within three years, can you do it?"

"You can try, as long as you trust it."

"Hmph, trust is built on sincerity, so let's talk about your suggestion first."

...

Since this night, Jiang Jianming—or En Yaslan, has been detained in the mansion office for five days.

Fiennes still did not completely let go of his suspicions and did not allow his staff to meet his lord. Just twice a day in the morning and evening, he was allowed to show his face by the window and look at Kaios for a few seconds to confirm his personal safety.

Even during this process, Fiennes had to send his cronies to supervise, and Jiang Jianming was never allowed to speak or make any major moves.

He could only nod or smile at Ryan, trying to appease the increasingly restless little Highness.

At the same time, he was negotiating with Fiennes almost day and night about the specific strategy of the Great Migration. One by one orders came out from the official residence, and they were executed after being issued layer by layer.

Time counts against every second, and the ten-day deadline is getting closer and closer.

"Lord Fiennes, first of all, we must make this point clear: our goals are the same. First, to complete His Majesty's will as scheduled; second, to prevent the Blue Mother Star from rebelling."

"Well, not bad."

"Then I'm sorry to say bluntly, the residents of Blue Mother Star City do not have full loyalty to the empire and the emperor. Migration is destined to be blocked, and rebellion may break out at any time."

"Therefore, you have to work on the order of migration. His Majesty the Emperor requested that the first batch of jumps be completed within ten days, but he did not say what the migration was."

Fiennes frowned: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Jianming smiled and said warmly: "What we have to do is to draw wages from the bottom of the pot, my lord."

"When the first fleet leaves, the supplies can be left untouched for the time being. Please withdraw the troops, officials, and the nobles you wish to withdraw first. In particular, the city guards must be withdrawn, which is very important."

"Without the army, the possibility of large-scale riots on the Blue Mother Planet will be cut off in the first place. No matter how brave His Highness Kaios is, it will be difficult to support alone."

"Furthermore, the City Guards are paid by the Imperial Army after all, and it is impossible for them to go to a better star city, and the poor of the Blue Mother Star have always hated officers and soldiers, so this evacuation will not encounter any obstacles."

"It must be done absolutely, and of course all the weapons must be removed. Mechas and firearms can be moved back a little bit. These things are very demanding for operation, and it is impossible for civilians to learn in a short time. But the starship should be controlled by the city guards. Drive them all away, otherwise it will be bad if there will be another group of thieves..."

...

Military Starship Harbor.

The sky is dark gray, and the storm is about to come among the thick clouds. The two officers stood in front of the steel starship, looking up at the gangway from a distance, and behind them were the city guards lined up.

An imperial soldier trotted over, stood and saluted: "Commander, the number of people has been counted!"

Chen Hank took off his military cap and exhaled, then nodded: "Okay, let's get into the ship, it's going to rain soon."

The officer beside him looked a little ugly and whispered, "Xiao Chen, are we really just leaving like this?"

Chen glanced at him: "Otherwise, what's the matter, are you going to go against it? Now, here?"

The officer was shocked, and hurriedly covered his mouth: "You! Shh, you are going to kill me."

Chen Hank patted his comrade-in-arms on the shoulder hard: "What are you afraid of, Luther. Haha, I said earlier, you are just short of courage..."

Luther: "But, what about His Royal Highness?"

Chen shook his head: "Your Highness still needs you to worry about it? Let's go. Let's go. We can't tell what will happen in the future."

...

"In addition, after the Great Migration, the people at the bottom will inevitably riot, and bloodshed will inevitably occur when the nobles stay behind. If you have people you hope to take care of, please make sure to let them leave in the first batch."

"Um……"

Fiennes frowned, and he squinted at the young man beside him, trying to find something suspicious from that pale face.

But Jiang Jianming just tapped on the virtual keyboard earnestly, and showed the deduction data obtained without reservation.

So Fiennes had to admit: "Yes, it is indeed a good strategy, just do as you say. Well, besides..."

The noble envoy cleared his throat in disguise, and the flesh on both sides of his cheeks trembled, "Cough, I will leave with the first batch of starships and perform the duties of an inspector along the way."

Nonsense, the city guards have all withdrawn, and bloodshed is unavoidable, of course he cannot stay in this place of right and wrong.

Fiennes thought about it in his heart, and said: "Of course, I will continue to monitor the situation of the blue mother star, and I will soon lead the second batch of starships back. You'd better not think about it."

Jiang Jianming lowered his eyebrows: "Actually, Your Excellency can stay, and I will do my best to ensure your safety. You are here, and many things are much easier to do."

Fiennes became angry and clapped his hands on the table: "Can't you understand, this envoy is under the will of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, and I have the responsibility of an inspector!"

"……Ok, I see."

...

Compared with the purged military port, the civilian starship port of Blue Mother Star City is a completely different scene.

The news of the relocation could not be suppressed, and the sight of the "superior people" getting on the ship one after another could not be concealed.

A large number of residents of the blue mother star ran out of their homes in shock. They flocked to the nearest city, blocking the starship port, and shattering the sky with desperate cries.

"Please, take my child, he's so young, he's so smart..."

"Mom, woohoo, I want to be with mom!"

"I have relatives in Yongyuan! Really, I have relatives who are nobles, let me go up, let me go up!!"

"Okay, if you don't take me with you, don't you fucking want to leave—"

The dark clouds in the sky squeezed out the remaining light, and the raindrops in the sky are like thousands of sharp needles, falling with thunder.

rumbling...

The thunder drowned out the cries of the people.

Oncoming was the mecha army with guns and live ammunition, and the heavy machine guns shot at the unarmed civilians.

Some of the new humans directly flashed their crystal bones and rushed to the army, while the disabled humans would rather crash into the current net pulled up in front of the starship port. The blood-stained arms stretched out to the sky before dying, and finally slumped down and smashed into the filthy muddy water.

Just a few hundred meters away, the lady was carrying her skirt, the gentleman was leaning on a cane, and the waiter was hurriedly carrying a large suitcase and a small bag. The portable rain barrier on her body opened a virtual umbrella for them.

They were hurriedly boarding the ship.

Outside the Starship Harbor, the sound of continuous shooting was accompanied by miserable cries. These pampered and pampered people couldn't bear to listen, and they all looked sideways.

"God, it's too bad."

"Oh, what innocent people."

A woman put on sound-isolating headphones for her son and wiped the corners of her delicately made-up eyes with a handkerchief.

Then she picked up the child, and while weeping, stepped into the starship without looking back.

Half an hour later, the news of Starship Harbor finally reached the official residence. Prince Kaios was furious, and the crystal bone smashed most of the official residence, asking Fiennes to immediately stop the slaughtering of civilians by the imperial soldiers everywhere.

Fiennes refused to withdraw his troops on the grounds that civilians were obstructing the empire's plans, claiming that unless the prince had a way to persuade the rioting crowd.

——So, that became the moment when the future Emperor Kaios first engraved his voice in history.

... Contrary to Commander Aslan, the Great Emperor's "lazy speech" is almost universally recognized.

Some people have analyzed that the emperor is somewhat "big new humanism". Rather than encouraging the people to fight the enemy with one heart, he prefers to rush up and overthrow the enemy, and let the people applaud from behind; others say that the emperor is a The character is too arrogant...Bah, arrogant, some words can't be said naturally; some people even complain, it is clear that the commander is too indulgent and spoiled His Majesty.

But no matter how you analyze it, later generations have to admit that Kaios didn't need any eloquence.

His existence itself is capricious, reckless, and unreasonable, enough to generate an unparalleled centripetal force.

Just like this rainy night, the prince used to speak to the whole city of the contact device for two minutes, but in such chaos and despair, only a few words were really recorded.

"What are you doing staring at those bastards running away? I'm still here."

The boy's voice was cold, not gentle, but very hard: "Blue Mother Star is my star city, you are here, I am here; you are not here, I am still here."

Gradually, the sound of the shots subsided. And the louder the rain, outside the civilian starship port in the urban area, the blood rivers were washed far away.

Finally, the tenth day was also the last day of the deadline.

The starship loaded with first-class people began to leave the land and headed for the distant sky.

When the people of Blue Mother Star looked up and saw the azure starship trail, they suddenly realized everything.

After all, the Great Migration of Humanity was carried out as scheduled, and they were abandoned here by the rulers of the Empire, and no one or any force could prevent this disaster.

Even with the promise of His Highness Kaios "I am here", there are still a large number of civilians who collapse when looking up at the starship.

They ran and chased in vain, waving their arms and wailing, their grief shook the clouds.

It was also on this night that Jiang Jianming walked out of the official residence.

……ended.

The black-haired youth was drenched in the rain.

In the past five days, he has dealt with Fiennes, and both energy and physical strength have been exhausted, and now he looks like a paper man that can be torn to pieces.

In the end, the guarantee is too limited. After all, the starship has left, and many of His Highness's confidants have also been taken away. what's next? Next...

Jiang Jianming has no strength to think.

He felt cold and suffocated. The torrential rain seemed to be the weeping of a planet. The sound of the rain overwhelmed him, and the cry from a distance also overwhelmed him.

Jiang Jianming closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief. He swayed for a while, and knelt down to the ground with all his strength, smashing splashes of water on his knees.

He raised his head with difficulty, opened his eyes, and stared up at the starship leaving in the sky, feeling as if he was about to drown in this sea of ​​rain.

The blue trail was like the only remaining oxygen, pulled away from this decadent land, getting farther and farther away from him.

... Mingming ten days ago, he was still planning this star city with His Highness.

If you give Blue Mother Star more time, everything will not be so passive at all. Why is it always too late, why is it always out of reach.

Consciousness gradually blurred, and the sound of rain became far and near, Jiang Jianming suspected that he was about to faint.

Because of this, he thought it was an auditory hallucination when there was a rapid sound of stepping on water behind him - until the clothes suddenly covered the top of his head, blocking the cold rain.

"Aslan!!"

"Aslan, wake up, look at me!!"

In the torrential rain, the boy's voice was loud.

"ginger!!!"

Ryan gasped heavily, his chest filled with frantic anger and murderous intent.

Jiang Jianming collapsed into his arms completely soft, as cold as a corpse. The black eyes were half-open, chasing the wake of the starship in a sloppy way, and softly saying something like "so far".

The raindrops wet the black hair and the blond hair together, and Ryan hugged the crippled human body, only to feel a pile of fleeting water foam in his arms.

The boy's breath was trembling with anger, and he heard the sound of his sanity being washed away, and for the first time, he truly had a desire to destroy.

This rotten empire, this heavy rainy night...!

If he could destroy it with his own hands, wouldn't Jiang be no longer sad?

Suddenly, the thirst for destruction took off like a raging fire.

Ryan tried hard and pulled Jiang Jianming up. The strength of the boy's arm is so strong that it can easily support the weight of a disabled human.

"—Get up! Get up!"

"What are you looking at... don't look at them, look at me!"

"Where do you want to go," Ryan hugged Jiang Jianming tightly, pressed his cheek against his, and gritted his teeth, "Tell me where you want to go, I'll take you there, I can take you there!"

"..."

Jiang Jianming opened his eyes. The crippled human panted, and the raindrops kept falling from his cheeks.

Against the rushing storm, the young prince's green eyes glowed, and he shouted at the person in his arms, "I'll take you to a place farther than those starships!!"

Jiang Jianming felt that he must have wanted to say something at that time.

No one in the world can be indifferent to such a scene, and he is no exception.

Or at least, he should also stabilize the young highness who was out of control and clarify that he was not tortured to death by Fiennes or beaten to the point of mental breakdown, but just a little tired.

But Jiang Jianming couldn't say a word.

He passed out in Ryan's arms.
