interstellar fairy tale

Someone once described Hallhold like this: This is a green planet, a sea of ​​flowers.

Hallhold, which is like spring all the year round, has a slightly longer summer from June to September, and the temperature is not high, which is very suitable for the growth of plants. In the cool night, even the breeze exudes a sweet and greasy fragrance of flowers.

It was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and the Hall Holder Governor's Mansion was still brightly lit.

The arrival of the Emperor of the Golden Empire, Solan Edrich, tensed the nerves of the entire Horhold power class.As the favored courtiers of Heine III, the Yuga family seemed cautious and cautious after the new emperor Solan Edrich came to the throne, but the behavior of the current family leader, Marshal Novi, seemed a bit out of tune with the family.

"A wayward lord will bring great trouble!"

This adage of the nobles of the Golden Empire obviously does not apply to Novi, and he cannot become the emperor's trusted direct descendant, but it does not prevent him from dedicating his wisdom to the empire.Novi is loyal to the Empire, not Heine III or Solan II.However, he would make a choice when the highest power in the empire was handed over, so he decisively cut off the connection with Heine III and took refuge in Soran Edrich.Soran Aldrich knew this, so he showed a moderate tolerance for some of Novi's behaviors.However, this kind of tolerance does not represent the real power of nobles such as Earl Reichardt. As a result, the Yuga family was gradually squeezed out from the Ivan Palace. This result did not have much impact on the family. It’s not outdated, and since the time of Heine III, Queen Yilan, the hostess of the palace, doesn’t like Novi. To be precise, she rejects all people with the surname Yuga, which can also explain why Yuga During the entire period of Heine III, the daughters of Yuga's direct line could not appear in the position of court ladies, and even the position of attendants never appeared in Yuga's children. Solan Edrich will continue this prejudice. Fortunately, this time It didn't hinder the development of the Yuga family too much. The whole family, like Horhold they ruled, put more energy and ambition into the imperial army.Without court competition, the emperor would have more trust in them.

The arrival of Solan Edrich will bring opportunities to the Yuga family.In Holhold, without the intervention of Earl Reichardt, and without the power disputes and slander in Ivan's summer palace, Novi will fulfill his responsibility as the leader of the family and bring the children of the family to the emperor.

At this moment, the power holders of the entire family have gathered together.Soran Aldrich already knew all this, he just smiled and said nothing.

"Your Majesty, this family has ambitions that cannot be underestimated."

Marin, the court clerk who always followed the emperor, was the nephew of Earl Reichardt. This 28-year-old young man was only loyal to Soran Edrich, and Earl Reichardt had nothing to do with this nephew.

"Ambition?" Soran Edrich liked this word, and he preferred to control people with ambition, "If you also have this kind of ambition, maybe I will be happier. Marlin, you are only 28 years old, don't act like you My father and uncle had the same accident."

Marin had nothing to do with the emperor's ridicule, so he could only pass on his depression to the Yuga family who were excited for the emperor's arrival.To have an indirect relationship with the most talented young generation of Earl Reichardt's family was something that neither Novi nor the Yuga family had thought of, and the reason was so ridiculous.

After "driving away" Marin, who was worried all day long and always worried about the appearance of rebels and conspirators, Soran Edrich could finally relax.

As the ruler of a huge empire, Soran Edrich was too young and unmarried, which gave people a feeling of immaturity. Lan II actually did not have an easy life.

The emperor was able to handle government affairs and military affairs with ease, but it didn't mean that he liked his private time to be occupied by these things.The emperor also needs to relax once in a while.As for what Novi and his family were plotting, Soran Aldrich was not very interested.

The time is eleven forty-five

A game of shogi was placed in front of the emperor.Shang Ping, who was sitting opposite, was restraining the urge to yawn while looking at the enthusiastic Solan Edrich. He missed the big soft bed in the room very much.

When he was dug out of the quilt by the stern-faced attendant, Shang Ping kept his eyes closed and listened to the attendant's words. The emperor needed to relax. It was late at night and it was not suitable to go out, so he asked him to play shogi with the emperor.

Shang Ping couldn't refuse, so he could only rely on coffee and fruit to maintain his spirit.But he is also mourning his sad life as a hostage. Does this count as being shot while lying down?Before arriving at Holhold, he spent three days and two nights learning about Holhold's history. After arriving, he couldn't even take a break.He is not a courtier or soldier of Soran Aldrich, and he does not understand why Soran Aldrich would let him know the history of this galaxy, even the governance and power changes of the successive lords were displayed in front of him.This family full of conspiracy and tyranny ruled such a beautiful and peaceful planet, which surprised Shang Ping.But what does this mean to him?Shang Ping didn't think he would live in such conspiracy and tyranny in the future.

"It's your turn."

Soran Aldrich's voice was a little low, it seemed to be a hoarseness formed under the darkness of night, the crystal lamp shone on the emperor's delicate facial features like carvings, forming fan-shaped shadows under the long curled eyelashes.

Shang Ping put away the unrestrained imagination in his mind, and refocused his energy on the chessboard, only to realize that this game of chess was already in jeopardy.

Shang Ping doesn't like shogi, he just learned superficially in the military academy, and his moves are standard and well-behaved.Soran Edrich is a master of chess. His royal education since childhood made Soran Edrich not only a qualified ruler of the empire, but also a versatile emperor.

Shang Ping was not good at chess, but he could still see the fierceness and momentum of Solan Edrich's chess moves. After resisting for a while, he had to raise his hand and surrender.He is really not an opponent, and he still refuses to admit defeat. Isn't he looking for abuse?

Shang Ping's easy surrender made Soran Edrich seem unsatisfied.

Soran Edrich also saw Shang Ping's absent-mindedness, so he simply pushed the chessboard aside, propped his elbows on the chair, and supported his chin with one hand, his long silver hair was not tied up, making his smile look very approachable.This kind of approachability made Shangping's hair stand on end.He will never forget how terrifying this "beauty" in front of him is. He leads the imperial fleet galloping across the stars and shuttling through the flames of war. His words and orders are enough to make a planet flow into rivers of blood.

"You're always absent-minded."

Soran Edrich is interested in Shang Ping. This black-haired boy has a strong vitality, a clever mind, and a forbearing personality. He can study meticulously even with mischievous lessons. Been to this kind of person.This young man who was tenacious on the battlefield was so disinterested in playing chess.Thinking back, I had captured him twice and brought him into the chess game I planned, but he was all safe and sound. Apart from good luck and brains, what else did I not know?

"Your Majesty, I'm not absent-minded, but rather sleepy." Shang Ping replied stiffly, "If you can let me go back to bed now, I will be very grateful."

"Oh?" Soran Aldrich suddenly narrowed his eyes, and then smiled. Shang Ping was inevitably flashed, but was choked by the emperor's next words, "Go back to bed? Yours or mine ?”

Shang Ping inevitably choked on the coffee, and stared in horror at Solan Edrich, who was resting up.

Did he hear it wrong, did he hear it wrong, he definitely heard it wrong!

"You heard me right." Soran Edrich pinched Shang Ping's chin in a good mood, wiped Shang Ping's lips with his thumb, and said, "I'm very interested in you, if it's you, I don't mind. "

Shang Ping and the emperor looked at each other calmly for two seconds, then suddenly pinched the emperor's wrist with one hand, pressed it tightly on the joint, and forcibly pulled the emperor's hand away.

"Sorry, I mind."

The 670th eight Huanxing

After Goodwill returned to Huo Xing, he immediately received the news from the merchant ship that Mars had accepted the terms of the merchant ship, double the price, and succeeded Naira?Hatra's new captain Rhodes makes a deal.Mars's long-distance fleet has already traveled halfway, and it is in an awkward position. If it returns, all previous efforts will be wasted. Since Seth is involved in this long-distance voyage, it is absolutely not allowed to give up easily.You can continue to move forward, but you will face certain risks.The tested and trusted Naira?Hatra has been confirmed dead, and he can only move forward if he chooses to believe that the route map provided by Rhodes is true.

Goodwill does not surprise the choice made by Mars.

"It's always been like this. Human life is indeed the easiest luxury to squander."

Goodwill smiled and turned off the video, leaned back in the chair, clasped his hands in front of him, Rhodes provided a real route map, there is no doubt about it.However, on this voyage, interstellar pirates and meteor showers that occur every 50 years are waiting for them.

Goodwill, who has already learned all the information about the long-distance fleet, is looking forward to the arrival of the survivors. After all, they are old friends who raised his son.
