nebula story

"Why... Your Highness Fern..." He asked with difficulty, his voice lowered, "Don't you want to ask me a few words yourself?"

No, it's impossible.Could it be that the proud king was so furious because of the extreme hatred in his heart?How could he bear it and not come to question him personally?

Sneering eyes swept across him, the chief diplomat of the empire looked extremely arrogant: "Sorry, although you are a federal person, but as long as the brand on your body is still there for one day, in our eyes, you are still a member of our empire." Low-ranking untouchables."

After a cold pause, he said: "And our emperor, His Majesty, is not in the habit of talking to any untouchables in person."

Standing there blankly, the light in Chesu's eyes gradually dimmed.The last little bit of greed in his heart was finally shattered, and the biting coldness and sadness flooded up, making him fall into a short-term absent-mindedness.

Fern, he...he doesn't want to see himself.

"If you have anything to say, you can tell me that His Majesty the Emperor entrusted me with full authority to handle the relevant matters. However, His Majesty the Emperor asked me to reiterate his meaning: We will never accept attempts to change the content of the agreement." Looking at Chesu's face, the imperial diplomat said indifferently, "—especially you, Lieutenant Chesu, please don't open your mouth for any unrealistic delusions, it will only anger His Majesty even more, and will only push the situation forward to a worse situation.”

Staring at him blankly, it took Chesu a long time to finally nod his head, and his eyes returned to being as smooth as a mirror.

"There are no changes or negotiations. What I want to say is that we will accept your empire's agreement requirements." He said quietly, looking at the imperial diplomat opposite. "I just have a few small matters that need to be confirmed."

His expression shook slightly, and the eyes of the imperial diplomat suddenly glanced aside.

Sitting at an angle that the video camera couldn't capture, His Majesty Fern's eyes, which had been so cold and expressionless, finally shrank suddenly because of these words!

Turning his gaze back quickly, the imperial diplomat raised his eyebrows calmly: "Oh? You agreed to send you back in exchange for five hundred prisoners of war and peace?"

"Yes, the Federation has decided to agree to your request." Chesu nodded slightly, "But I need to confirm a few things. If you can't make the decision, please report back to His Highness Fern."

Frowning angrily, the diplomat of the empire finally couldn't help but interject: "Your Majesty, that's our Majesty!"

A faint smile appeared on Chesu's lips.It's not sarcasm, it's not bitterness, it's just a little bit of embarrassment: "Ah, I'm sorry... Your Highness is used to it, and I can't change it for a while."

With a gloomy and handsome face like a god, the emperor of the empire stared closely at Chesu on the screen, his eyes were burning with extremely weird flames!

"Your Highness..." In my ear, the boy called him "Your Highness"

His familiar tone is still the same as yesterday. When we first met, there was hostility, and later we often perfunctory. In the end, there were occasional intimacy and sweetness, but why, this moment is so strange and ironic!

"First, as long as you promise to hand me over completely and alive, His Highness Fern—ah, no, can His Majesty ensure what he said, stop this war and release the prisoners of war?"

Looking quickly at His Majesty the Emperor, the diplomat saw the slight nod.

"Of course, this is a condition that has been stated a long time ago. Our Emperor is a man who will do what he says."

"Secondly, our federation will claim that I made the claim and go to the empire alone to exchange for prisoners of war. Please cooperate with your country and don't expose the truth. You know, if this is not the case, my trip may not be successful. .”

…Looking at him stiffly, the diplomats of the empire have not expressed their position—the expression of His Majesty the Emperor not far away is so unpredictable that he can't figure out the real meaning of the emperor at all.

Suddenly, His Majesty the Emperor, who had been sitting and listening, stood up impressively.Striding forward, he signaled the imperial diplomats to move away with his eyes, and then he stood directly in front of the communication equipment, and looked coldly and wordlessly at the Federation's military meeting hall!

The pressure came suddenly, and even though the sea of ​​stars was so far away that they couldn't fly, everyone in the military headquarters of the federal capital seemed to feel a huge, suffocating tyranny!

In the eyes of only a very small number of people, there is no short-term fear caused by this.General Xie Zhan, Colonel Nanzhuo, and Chesu.

In the eyes of the 50-year-old General Xie Zhan, there is the coldness of his opponent; in the pupils of Nan Zhuo, there is a sudden burning of fighting spirit; and in Chesu's dark eyes, which were originally as quiet as a deep well, there is a moment of joy The brilliance, a touch of warmth that is almost happy!

Staring blankly at the man who suddenly appeared on the light curtain, he forgot everything around him for a while, just wanted to take another look, one more look.

...The brows are still sharp, the eyes are still cold, the arc of the chin is still arrogant, it is exactly the same as the first time I saw him in memory, and there is no change at all.

But only he knows that such a handsome face that is always stern and unsmiling in front of others will also have such a short but lovely embarrassment in private, and also have such a smile and tenderness in private.

As if he didn't see anyone in the meeting room at all, Fern's eyes only fell on Chesu's face.Coldly, like a cluster of bright poisoned blades, his eyes were full of great contempt and anger.

"This is your federation, the federation that you bear the burden of humiliation and serve! It is so despicable and cowardly that you dare not even fight bravely for your federation heroes, but you want to hide it from the world and evade any responsibility and public opinion!" His eyebrows and eyes are full It was disgust and contempt, and he said word by word, "Rather than letting you live in such a despicable and inferior place, it is indeed better to let you die in our empire!"

His icy blue eyes were full of fury, and the new emperor of the empire had knives in his eyebrows and sharp lips, "Lieutenant Chesu, since this is your choice, then I will satisfy all your requirements, and I am also willing to fulfill your foolish loyalty." .”

Some kind of uncontrollable great anger mixed with unidentifiable sharp pain, his voice was hoarse and full of blood: "I use Cromwell's royal family name to guarantee that you will get a death worthy of your heroism, I I also promise that you will get your wish and shed your last drop of blood for your Federation and motherland!"

Sitting in the corner, Yuan Bihai, Director of MI[-], felt a bit of bitterness in his heart.Listening to these words in a daze, he suddenly felt so familiar.

Yes, "foolish loyalty".

He also used this word on Chesu.When the federal people couldn't get the information, they thought he was foolish and loyal; but now, facing Chesu who was about to sacrifice himself in exchange for other people's lives, His Majesty the emperor of the empire actually thought so.

In the whole world, perhaps he is the only one who has really witnessed from the beginning to the end, how tough and intelligent this young man who is not tolerated by any party is actually.

The faces of the other people present all changed slightly because of Fern's words!

Such a brutal and obvious threat didn't even give anyone a chance to have any illusions.No no, this is no longer a threat, but a naked and bloody preview!

The two people on Fisher, General Xie Zhan and Nan Zhuo, the two people most closely related to Chesu, chose to keep silent at the same time.Although the fighting intent in the eyes became more intense, none of them raised any fierce opposition.

But Chesu, in front of everyone's eyes, burst into a shallow, strange smile.He didn't seem to feel Fern's monstrous anger and brutality at all, and he stared intently at the person who had just issued a death threat.

"Your Highness, thank you." His beautiful brows were sincerely stretched out, and there was a magnanimous brightness and crystal brilliance in his black eyes.

"Thank you for agreeing to our request. Then—see you in the Empire." He smiled slightly, his face, which was originally more handsome than ordinary people, was haggard and hard to hide, but it had a kind of brilliance that people couldn't look at.

The people on the side looked at the expression on his face, and they were all inexplicably surprised. — Is this kid who is battling and suffering from the connection crazy because of the stress and fear?

Watching the communication screen suddenly go dark, the smile on Chesu's lips remained faint.No one knew why he said thank you to that person, it was his own secret.

... That person is always so duplicity.How much of his rage came from his unwillingness to be deceived, and how much from his shock at hearing that he was abandoned by the Federation?

It didn't matter, he just knew that the feeling was so familiar.

When have you ever had a similar feeling?Yep, that was when it was learned that he was abused and hurt by two officers of the military academy.

It is always like this, my lord.Chesu was a little lost in thought, leisurely thinking about the little secrets in her heart, sweet and bitter, warm and sad.

Only his noble Highness can hurt him, and no one else can.So he would feel that it was reasonable to force him as a spy, but once he saw that the federal people decided to abandon and betray him, he would be so angry that he couldn't help himself, and suddenly rushed from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

For some reason, Chesu suddenly felt that if it wasn't for the star field separated by hundreds of millions of miles, if it was at the scene, His Highness Fern might want to pull out a gun and shoot at this hall in one breath. .

Although he will definitely kill himself in the end, but now, he feels worthless, unwilling, and unfair because of him.

——This is enough, enough for him to find a little bit of fireworks to keep warm in the freezing cold sky, enough for him to find the last trace of support and comfort in the unbearable loneliness and reluctance.

Even if there is some fear of the cruel fate in the future, this bit of warmth is enough to support him to go on.

The capital's interstellar space port, late at night.

In an important military take-off and landing base that was temporarily closed, a medium-sized aircraft slowly took off, accelerated slowly, and finally disappeared into the dark starry sky.

A group of soldiers with live ammunition were full of confusion, recalling the strange scene.From receiving the notification of an emergency mission a few minutes ago to watching the spaceship set off, from the beginning to the end, no one saw anyone boarding it—a dozen or so large military vehicles driving from the door, unexpectedly Never opened the door of the car, but used special landing gear to directly transport more than a dozen black and airtight military vehicles into the ship!

In other words, even the drivers of those vehicles flew away with the ship, and no one knew where they came from, where they were going, and who was inside.

……

Leaning outside the corridor of the ship's bottom lounge, Miao Dong looked gloomy.

The faces of the two subordinates beside him were also gloomy, and they roughly cut off the cigarette butts in their hands. One of them said angrily: "Captain, I am really annoying! I have to suffocate to death for more than 40 hours—" In the quiet lounge not far away, he made a nuzzle, and he said angrily, "Our entire military situation, just like this, has spent with him, right? We were the ones who caught him, and we were the ones who interrogated him, and now we are sending him back to Fisher." Xing, what kind of shit is that?!"

"What's the matter?" Miao Dong gave him a cold look, equally angry, "You ask me, I'll ask who! If you have the courage, you can directly ask the boss! I'm a soldier like you, and the order of the soldiers is Obey, fucking unconditionally obey!"

Even if he had the same great doubts as his subordinates, even if the speculation in his heart was astonishing, he could only obey and obey with depression.

Their entire military situation was busy, arresting and interrogating people in embarrassment, and it was all a joke in the end, and now, this joke seems to continue!

Yes, not what a joke is!The entire capital may not know what happened tonight, but none of them, a group of MI[-] agents, are blind, and they all know who they are escorting.

Chesu.

Once a captive of the empire, later a little hero of the federal spy.But now, in the last dozens of hours when the imperials issued the ultimatum, they received a confidential military order to escort him to Planet Fisher!

What else is possible but that one and only purpose! ?

As soon as he thought of the boy who had just been sent into the lounge with his own hands, he depressedly wanted to find something to beat him up.

Such a calm and beautiful face, such clear and pure eyes, when he occasionally looks at him, there is no fluctuating emotion, it seems that he has no resentment in the face of this obviously unfair fate, and he is more aware of the danger and tragedy ahead Without knowing it!

Light footsteps sounded in the corridor.The figure of Yuan Bihai approached.

Suddenly he reached out to stop Yuan Bihai, Miao Dong signaled the two team members to back down with his eyes, stared stubbornly at his immediate superior, and said, "Boss, I know you issued a password before boarding the ship, but what I said is not Asking the boss is asking the backbone of MI[-]!"

Staring at him with sharp eyes, Yuan Bihai's voice was not high, but cold and majestic: "You ask. But I don't promise to answer."

"Boss, are we sending him to Planet Fisher, are we—" Taking a deep breath, Miao Dong said word by word, "Exchange him for prisoners of war and accept the conditions of the imperial people?!"
