The birds are gone, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead, and the lackeys are cooking!

In ancient China, Fan Li in the Spring and Autumn Period was aware of this, so after becoming famous, he immediately drifted away and left a letter to Wen Zhong, in which he said these four sentences.Wen Zhong didn't take it seriously, thinking that he had contributed to the country, and that Gou Jian, the king of Yue, would not treat him badly, but ended up committing suicide in the end.The light is too dazzling, and it is not a good thing for the courtiers to overwhelm the master.

The experience of Marshal Lucas vividly reflects the meaning of the above four sentences.

Annie's mood at the moment can really be described as asking the heavens without words.

A family of three generations of Zhongliang, devoted themselves to the country, but ended up like this.Annie really wanted to ask God: Is there still justice in this world?

Similar to Anne's mood, Marshal Lucas also had a look of grief and indignation. "Grandpa is completely disappointed in this guy. If he doesn't interfere, the military court will definitely give a fair sentence, but he will definitely interfere. He wants to kill you, and he will definitely tell Norton The prince and the others exert pressure. He is the emperor of the empire. What he says will affect the verdict. Even if you are not sentenced to death, you will be severely punished. Now the situation is extremely unfavorable to you. By the way, the one you mentioned is named Wu Lai Where is sir now?"

Annie said quietly: "He has already left and has not left any contact information. Even if there is, I have no way to contact him."

"Cousin, Annie mentioned you." Wang Fei reminded from the side.

Wu Lai gave him a sideways look, and said, "No one will treat you as dumb if you don't speak. Your cousin and I are not deaf, so I naturally heard what she said."

Marshal Lucas sighed: "Oh, we can't fight Bodo XIII, he is the emperor of the empire, and we are just the subjects of the empire. These days, grandpa can only put down his old face and ask some old comrades-in-arms for help. , as long as the death penalty is not imposed, everything is fine."

Originally, Anne had given up, but after hearing what Marshal Lucas said, she didn't want to die anymore. She couldn't die, and she couldn't let Bodo XIII's treachery succeed.

At this moment, Prince Norton entered.Time passed quickly, half a day passed, and it was already dark.

Marshal Lucas knew he should leave.

He explained to Annie: "Good granddaughter, don't be afraid, grandpa will definitely find a way."

"Grandpa, Annie is not afraid of death, so what are you afraid of?" Annie's words were full of determination.

"Good boy, you won't die, grandpa won't let you die." Marshal Lucas said in his heart: even if grandpa dies, I will protect you well.If it doesn't work, just exchange one life for another, and exchange your grandpa's life for your safety.

Walking out of Anne's room, Prince Norton whispered, "Old brother, don't worry, I will try my best to help Anne's grandniece."

Marshal Lucas bowed his hands to Prince Norton, and said gratefully, "I can only trouble my brother."

"What did the old brother say? Isn't this killing the little brother? Annie is a good child. When she grows up, she will definitely become the same military god as the old brother. Even if the little brother is not for the old brother, he must also be for the empire and the future of the empire." The God of War will do what he should do." Prince Norton said seriously.

Marshal Lucas deserves to be the military god of the empire, where the military soul of the empire lies, and his influence in the army is still very large.The top military officials are either his comrades or his students. Although he is old and has retired long ago, he still has a high prestige.

Marshal Lucas pulled down his old face to find his comrades and students, and told them about his granddaughter Annie.Annie's reputation had already spread throughout the army, but few people knew that she was the granddaughter of Marshal Lucas.They were shocked that Anne could become the commander of the Imperial Tenth Fleet at such a young age.She is indeed the granddaughter of the marshal!It seems that he got the true biography of Marshal Lucas.It's really a woman who doesn't give way to a man.

The news that Anne's Tenth Fleet was ambushed by the First Fleet of the Teresan Empire's ace fleet and completely annihilated was not widely spread, and only a few people knew about it. When they heard about it, they heard that Bodo XIII was Anne was sentenced to death, which made many generals aggrieved.Who can guarantee that he is an ever-victorious general?It was normal for the entire army to be wiped out after being ambushed by the First Fleet of the Teland Empire.Even if it confronts the First Fleet head-on, it must be defeated.You must know that it is the ace unit of the Deland Empire, and their commander, Lieutenant General Grant, is known as the new star of the Deland Empire, and he has won every battle.

The empire has a large population, so there are naturally many generals.Many generals united and collectively petitioned Porto XIII, asking for a lenient punishment for Anne.

Porto XIII's intelligence system is naturally powerful.He had already received information that Marshal Lucas had come to the Imperial Capital and met Annie.However, Porto XIII did not expect Marshal Lucas to have retired for so many years and still have such a great appeal.This made Porto XIII more afraid of Marshal Lucas.

Can a person who can cause an "earthquake" in the empire not be feared by the emperor?If Marshal Lucas really had a mutiny, would Porto XIII still be able to sit firmly on the throne of the emperor?

Porto XIII has always been afraid of this, and tried his best to weaken the strength of Marshal Lucas, and even tried every means to kill Marshal Lucas's only son, Anne's father.Now that Anne's military talent has been revealed, it is no less than Marshal Lucas, and Porto XIII is worried that she will become the second Lucas, so he has the heart to kill her.As for why he didn't choose to assassinate, it's because Anne has always stayed on the interstellar mothership, and it is difficult to do so. In addition, some interstellar pirates have sent people to assassinate Anne before, but they did not succeed. The defense was even tighter, so that the assassins could not find a chance.For Marshal Lucas, Porto XIII wants him to die more, but Lucas is old and has a few years to live. If his children and grandchildren are gone, his heart must be dead, and he will not have the heart of mutiny .It is a pity that Porto XIII did not die in the ambush. It is impossible for the military court to sentence Anne to death. If he forcibly intervenes, he will definitely be blocked.

Petitions flew to the palace like snowflakes, and Bodo XIII received hundreds of them within a day, all of which demanded a lighter punishment for Anne.

Seeing these petitions, Porto XIII was furious. "This old thing has been out of the army for 20 years, and he is still so influential! Hmph, no matter how hard you try, it won't help. The emperor wants to kill someone, and you can't stop it. You know, the emperor is The emperor of the empire is the No.1 of the empire, with power in his hands, he can kill whoever he wants, and no one can stop him. Whoever dares to stop him, the emperor will kill whoever he wants!"

"Annie, if the empress wants you to die, you must die! The empress covers the sky with one hand, and he can't follow what he says!" Bodo XIII crushed the wine glass in his hand, and the light blue wine flowed all over the floor.

Seeing Porto XIII crush the wine glass, Song Jian yelled, "Damn, this guy is really a waste, that's Potts wine! It's very expensive, and most people can't afford it." He soaked it in the wine glass these days Here, he naturally knew the value of the wine that Bodo XIII drank.The light blue wine is the most famous Potts wine in the Bodo Empire. If you don't have a certain status, you can't drink it at all.

Pope Bodo XIII ignored everyone's petitions, basically ignoring them, and threw them into the wastebasket.

Even the two princes came to intercede for Annie.It turned out that at the Royal Military Academy, the two princes were Anne's admirers and suitors.You know, besides being the best student at Royal Imperial College, Anne is also a beautiful woman.

The two princes interceded for Anne, but were scolded back by Bodo XIII.
