Chapter 29 The King and the Marshal

【Marshal Scott held the king's finger, and gently pressed his white and chapped lips against the latex gloves: "Long live my king."】

In the early morning of the third day when the Daisy was docked on the tarmac of the General Staff, Marshal Aiden Scott, who was under intensive care, became slightly conscious.

The moment the marshal's swollen eyes half-opened and half-closed, the news spread like a depth charge through the top ranks of the army.General Li Zhun and the king learned the news at the same time—it was indeed the same time. The two held a secret meeting all night in the safe house of the military headquarters. Nibbling on breakfast.

The pile of files in front of them is protected by two quantum keys; one is used to open the antimagnetic physical container containing the files, and the other is used to translate the contents of the files.The key can only take effect once. Within two hours after opening the physical container and translating the content, the two quantum keys will be randomly generated again and cannot be deciphered.

The precious two-hour access key, from the signet ring on the king's little finger.

"Scott is awake." Admiral Li reopened his personal terminal at the prompt of his adjutant and received this exciting news.

"Let's go and see him." The king quickly put away the paper documents on the desktop and stood up without any explanation.

"The advice of the medical staff is that there are no visiting conditions." Admiral Li added, but did not object to the king's decision.

A black streamlined ground car was parked outside the safe house, and a well-trained adjutant opened the door and waited with his hands behind his back.The two high-ranking and powerful figures walked out of the building in silence, their faces showing a little tiredness because they hadn't slept all night.Admiral Li put on his military cap, forcibly cheered up and invited the king to get on the car first.After the two sat down, the adjutant raised the isolation window inside the car and drove to Zixun Hospital.

The atmosphere in the car was dignified, and the king's cold mechanical legs collided with the leather-wrapped body interior from time to time due to the shaking during driving, making creaking friction sounds.The king didn't intend to adjust his posture, and let the unpleasant friction sound continue in the car.

The night before, the king had opened Marshal Aiden Scott's personal top-secret file overnight—the access key to the commander-in-chief's private top-secret file was actually handed over to the king for safekeeping, which is really incredible.With the opening of the files, the "String Puppet Project" surfaced; both the King and Admiral Li clearly felt that the King was being forced back to the core of Huo Dongxing's power step by step.

"The matter of the Daisy..." Admiral Li asked while sitting in the car, "Now that Scott is awake, is it necessary to postpone it further?"

"No need. Proceed as usual," the king replied calmly.

The guards in the Zixun Hospital were heavily guarded. Dr. Jasmine, the marshal’s personal doctor, had already rejected three or four visitors who had heard of it this morning. Moved.

"Your Majesty, Admiral Li." Dr. Jasmine was doing the last futile effort, "Marshal Scott only has a weak consciousness, his physical function is very weak, and he has a high risk of infection. Judging from the medical judgment, we don't think he has Conditions for interview visits."

"Okay, we know." Admiral Li replied politely, "We only need to go in for 10 minutes."

"I'm sorry, Admiral Li, but the 10-minute visit condition is also not available."

"Okay, 5 minutes." Admiral Li was polite and straight forward.Just as Dr. Jasmine was about to speak, the adjutant accompanying the general had already bullied him, forming a majestic wall of flesh.The doctor frowned and rolled his eyes.

The nurse's bell rang, and it was the hoarse voice of the commander-in-chief: "If... the king, request... visitation, I request... permission to visit."

Dr. Jasmine sighed: "But you must do a good job of aseptic protection."

The king and Admiral Li nodded, and turned to change clothes.

"Only, the king... come in alone." The marshal continued in a weak voice.

General Li Zhun anxiously pressed the call button: "Marshal, I also have important matters..."

"I see... the king, alone." The marshal probably wanted to shake off his official authority, but because of his weak muscles, he couldn't lift up his energy, so his anger was limp, "You... wait a minute."

"Only one person can enter." Dr. Jasmine took advantage of the situation.

The king waved his hand at Admiral Li expressionlessly, and walked towards the locker room.The king's footsteps were firm, and he was determined to settle accounts with Scott.

When the king put on the sterile suit, gloves and mask, and made up his mind to go into the ward to criticize the commander-in-chief, Aiden Scott was leaning weakly on the sickbed, with black and gray slightly curly forehead hair in a messy pasting. At the brow bone, the long and narrow cheeks are almost sunken.Under the marshal's loose hospital gown, a chest covered in wound gel was half exposed.His chest rose and fell laboriously as he breathed, and the crystal gel reflected the artificial light on the ceiling of the ward, followed by flashes of light.As the king stepped in, his eyes flashed, and his chapped white lips moved slightly, as if calling him over.

The king felt that Marshal Scott, who had regained consciousness, was weak, but he looked much more vivid than the undead he had seen two days ago.

"Your Majesty." The commander-in-chief nodded slightly.

The king sat down by his hospital bed and turned off his personal terminal first.Marshal Scott raised a hand vainly, shook it, and motioned for the other party to hand it over to him.The king hesitated for a moment, then placed his gloved hand in the slightly trembling palm of the Marshal.

Marshal Scott held the king's finger, and pressed his white and chapped lips against the layer of latex gloves: "Long live my king."

"Long live the empire." The king replied to him, and then withdrew his hand, "Okay, okay." After going back and forth, most of the anger in the king's heart disappeared.

"It can't be... Madarashita's attack order." The marshal said hoarsely.

"Because Madara can't disobey your orders, it can never hurt you, can it?" the king snapped.

The marshal smiled dumbly, with a helpless expression in his eyes: "Ah...it seems that you know."

The king said seriously: "I used the spare key you gave me."

"I am, based on... my absolute trust in you, I leave it to you... as a backup in an emergency. Because, I know, you... have no interest in power..." Marshal Scott said weakly blame. "You...you promised me, you must wait until I die before you use..."

"I just used it, how is it? Do you regret it? Now is the critical moment. You moved another five centimeters to the right in the car and died on the spot. If you are interested, you can read "Huo Dongxing Independent Review". This morning they I just posted that you are dead, and the military is hiding the news." The king glared, "If you are disappointed, don't give me such an important authority next time, I don't deserve your trust."

Marshal Scott turned his head away, and said angrily: "Except for you... there is no one in the army who can be entrusted to you. I... you... me, never..." He thought for a long time, and it was really hard to speak, so he simply closed it Mouth.He was short of breath, and he didn't know whether it was because of pain or sadness, and there were lights flickering in his eyes.

The king stopped rebutting and made a gesture of letting go.

"Blade is now the number one suspect in your assassination, and is under house arrest on the Daisy. Of course, he has other methods—it doesn't matter." The king said, "It was he who reminded me that the assassination was related to General Zhao Liang and Shu— —Oh yes, your right-hand man, the ambassador to the ether star, the main executor of the puppet project..."

Marshal Scott's eyes flickered: "It's him?"

"I can't be sure. Because his adopted son Xing Falcon is also involved in the case, the military has secretly recalled the ambassador back to Huo Dongxing to stand by. He will return immediately, and there are still seven sailing days, and he should be able to arrive at Mo'er next week." The king's tone calmed down a lot. , no longer with much anger. "I got a tip from Madara. After knowing that the assassination incident was related to the ambassador, Li Zhun came to ask me again if I knew about your backup plan for the ether star; both clues point to the ether star. In addition to involving Madara, I weighed Over and over again, your backup key was used."

Marshal Scott blinked his swollen eyelids.

"Li Zhun was also there. From my judgment, Li Zhun is trustworthy. I shared some file information with him. I hope you don't mind. I have already made the mental preparation that you will never wake up again. I need someone worthy Trusted people help." The king was expressionless. "Oh, and I'm sorry, I also know a lot about Marshal Guangji."

The Marshal waved his hand impatiently, indicating that he did not want to hear.

"Then, I learned about the marionettes and the anti-colonial backup plan. I also learned why you kept it from me—" the king restrained his emotions, and did not continue.

Because Prince Ban is the No. 0 experimenter of the marionette on Huodongxing, and he is under the orders of Marshal Aiden Scott.Xing Falcon, as the abandoned baby just adopted by General Zhao Liang and Shu, the marshal's confidant at that time, was accidentally pushed onto the stage of history and became the No. 1 experimenter.

"At the beginning, I made a wrong decision. I'm sorry. I thought that he was the crown prince. If I controlled him... I would control him, King Quan." The marshal lightly raised his finger, "But... I swear, over the years, I did not use reagents to force Ban to do anything... against his personal will."

"About this, I recall a lot. He was domineering in front of you since he was a child, and I don't think he looks like it." The king looked directly into the marshal's eyes, "But if you do anything to hurt him, I will chase him to the ends of the earth and kill him with my own hands." about you."

The marshal smiled wryly, and made a good one with his mouth.Immediately afterwards, he coughed slightly in pain, and there was a sharp pain in his chest and lower abdomen.He forcibly endured it, but the monitoring machine next to the sick bed was beating violently.The king panicked and couldn't help standing up.The marshal gritted his teeth and signaled him to sit down: "It's okay, it's okay...don't call people...they just drive you out..."

After a while, the marshal seemed to have eased off the pain, and finally lowered his brows and took a deep breath.He took the king's hand, and the king finally did not withdraw it this time.The monarch and his subjects looked at each other holding hands, and everything was kept silent.

"No, it's commonplace to gossip. I don't know when, I'll faint again. If you're unlucky, this is... the last time I see you." The marshal held the king's hand a little harder, The king just wanted to reprimand him not to talk nonsense, but was blocked by the firmness in his eyes.The marshal took a deep breath, cherishing every second of his consciousness, and tried his best to make his words coherent: "Listen to me, if the assassination incident is related to Zhao Liang and the tree, it is very likely, not just Mutiny within the army. It is possible that he has already been instigated by the ether star. Once the ether star is alerted, please be more careful. "

"He will come back from the Ether Star next week. Your name is Li Zhun. In advance... mobilize the armed ships. In low-Earth orbit... Also, there must be a Starship Troopers to prepare for the battle." At this time, the marshal was extremely weak and was still talking intermittently Worrying about the empire, "Your Majesty, I'm starting to worry, is it because I... touched the second colonial crisis 20 years later? If so, I... will be the sin of this time and space..."

Marshal Aiden Scott didn't have time to finish his words, and his grip on the king gradually loosened, and he fell into a coma again.

"Aiden, Aiden?" The king's heart sank, and he whispered in his ear in a low voice, restrained, "No, you are not...you are not."

The marshal, who was seriously injured, did not respond, his bloodshot eyelids gradually closed, and the monitoring machine beside the bed beeped from small to loud.

Dr. Jasmine pushed the door open, followed by two nurses and a group of guards—"Your Majesty, you need to go out."

The king has no intention of continuing to stay.He walked quickly to General Li Zhun outside the door, lowered his voice and whispered: "General Zhao Liang and Shu will arrive at Mo'er in seven sailing days, and there may be a threat. The military will prepare for near-ground armed forces within a week." .”

"Let's go, let's hurry up and go to the Daisy before Ban makes any big troubles." The king calmly patted Admiral Li Zhun on the shoulder.
