exclusive possession

Chapter 66

Near noon, sunlight streamed in through the windows, painting the floor a pale golden yellow.Looking out through the glass, the podium in front is already full of imperial officials who came to watch the ceremony. Everyone's expression is very solemn, but there is bright hope in their eyes.

Across the wall, the atmosphere in the room was so tense and silent.

I looked at Kenya's slightly sullen face—how much does he know?
However, in the face of Kenya's slightly hostile questioning, Yipucheng's quick response and deep thought were still beyond my expectations.After a brief silence, a look of compassion flashed across his face, and he said slowly: "You are not insignificant." After a pause, his voice was as deep as water: "You also know why I came to you."

His tone was so deep, at this moment, I almost thought that the person in front of me was the real emperor, not Yipucheng.At the same time, I caught a glimpse of a faint smile on the corner of Mu Xian's mouth, as if he was also satisfied with his answer.

Even if Yi Pucheng proposed to increase the money afterwards, I think he deserved it.

Kenya looked stunned for a moment.

Maybe his mood will still be affected by the "Emperor".I heard that he was the emperor's favorite son since he was a child.

Seeing his silence, Yi Pucheng said softly: "I'm looking for you personally today. There are two things. The first thing, they reported to me that a passenger fleet encountered a supernova explosion in the third beta right-handed galaxy. The more than 2000 people in the hospital should have been rescued by your fleet. Is there such a thing?"

I wondered: why did he say two things?
Kenya smiled slightly, her blue eyes looked gentle and honest: "I've heard of this outbreak, but there are many merchant ships under my name, and I don't know if they have saved people. Since my father is concerned, I will immediately Send someone to check."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and ordered: "Go and investigate." Someone replied: "Yes." Then the footsteps faded away.

Kenya actually gave a ambiguous answer, which is really unexpected to me, but after thinking about it carefully, it makes sense—if the spiritual powers are really in his hands, and he didn’t understand their functions, naturally he wouldn’t know. Will admit or deny rashly.

Sure enough, he changed the subject and asked, "Father, who are the people on board? Even you personally asked?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Xian's brows were slightly frowned, and his eyes showed sarcasm.Seeing his reaction, I immediately realized - Kenya is so yin!When he asked this, if Yi Pucheng told the truth, he would definitely be able to ask, why did the spiritual power man be transported out secretly?If you tell lies, how can you get him to find someone later?

Ke Yipucheng almost didn't think about it, and answered frankly: "It is the 2400 spiritual powers of the empire."

My heart tightened.

Kenya looked a little surprised: "Psychic? Father, I didn't hear that you issued this migration order."

Yi Pucheng said calmly, "It's my secret order to Noel. This matter concerns the safety of the empire. We'll talk about it later."

He changed the subject: "The second thing - after the empire migrates, the troops need to be rearranged. I discussed with Tari and planned to set up two marshals to be in charge of the southern and northern fleets. Would you like to be the marshal of the southern region? ?”

I was taken aback, and saw a flash of shock in Kenya's eyes.

Mu Xian has indeed heard Mu Xian mention the military force plan after the empire's relocation. It may be divided into two theaters.But the marshal was never discussed.Yipu City actually opened his mouth and came!

I probably guessed what Yi Pucheng was thinking—is he going to throw a piece of fat to Kenya first?But how smart is Kenya, will he be fooled?
Looking at Mu Xian again, his expression was also a little surprised, but soon became thoughtful.

"Marshal of the Southern District..." Kenya slowly repeated each word, with a complex and indiscernible smile on his handsome face, "Marshal of the Northern District is Noel, right?"

Yi Pucheng nodded: "Yes."

Kenya leaned back on the sofa, her gaze seemed to fall on the ground, and after a few seconds, she raised it again: "You expelled me for Nuoer back then. Now, why are you enabling it again?"

Yeah, why?

Yipucheng smiled quietly: "Back then, in order to fight for power and profit, you killed your brothers and didn't pay attention to the lives of soldiers of the empire. Now, have you repented?"

My heart skipped a beat.

In an instant, Yipu City seemed to have transformed into the ruler of the empire, elegant but imposing.

Kenya in the picture also looked shocked, his face seemed a little pale and a little red.I thought badly, the conversation collapsed, Kenya is so arrogant, she must have become angry from embarrassment.

The room was silent for a few seconds. Kenya suddenly leaned forward, stared at the screen, and nodded slowly: "Yes, father. I am willing to serve the empire again."

His tone was very solemn.

It appears he was persuaded.

His father's censure did not make him angry, but instead made him acquiesce in his past mistakes.Perhaps it was because he would not doubt the emperor's words at all.

Inexplicably, I was a little moved.Mu Xian's move was really right.

Yi Pucheng also showed a gratified smile, and encouraged Kenya a few more words, and emphasized the new responsibility of the new theater marshal.Kenya nodded one by one, and the smile on the corner of her mouth never faded.

I thought it was almost time, and Yipu City would bring up the matter of the psychics again.Unexpectedly, at this moment, Kenya asked calmly: "Father, can you give me a paper appointment warrant?"

Yi Pucheng was stunned, and Kenya's face was a little mocking and self-deprecating: "Father, now more than 50.00% of your government are people from Nuoer, right?"

Yi Pucheng nodded, his eyes were deep and hard to distinguish.

I think Kenya's meaning is very clear. It's not that he doesn't trust his father, but he wants to guard against Mu Xian, so he proposes to get the paper warrant immediately.

What can I do?Are you really preparing a warrant?Will it be fulfilled in the future?

Who knows that Yipu City is not at all embarrassed: "Of course. I can give you a written promise." Turning to us, he said: "Go and prepare."

Without hesitation, Mu Xian gave Mo Pu a look.Mo Pu immediately went out and found the emperor's personal guards.After a while, a bronzing warrant was ready.

The personal guard handed it over, Yi Pucheng looked down, smiled, and with a swipe of the pen, signed the emperor's name, handed it to the personal guard, and faxed it to Kenya—for a month, his manipulator imitated the emperor's The handwriting has already been superb.

At this time, someone from Kenya whispered, "Your Highness, you have received the letter of appointment."

Kenya got up to take it, looked down for a while, and then sat down again.His voice was solemn, and his eyes became firm: "Thank you, father."

Yi Pucheng nodded with a smile, and finally changed the subject.He said: "You already have the authority to know about the psychic. I didn't want to make it public before, because I was afraid of causing panic among the people."

Kenya nodded.

Yi Pucheng's tone was dignified: "I asked Nuoer to gather them because Hua Yao predicted that among those with spiritual power, there would be an outbreak..."

I heard that my heart tightened, and Mu Xian's eyes changed slightly.

But I heard Yipu City slowly say: "A plague that can destroy half an empire."

***
Yi Pucheng, Mu Xian and I sat in silence facing each other.

Just now Kenya said that he would investigate as soon as possible, and the "father and son" ended the call happily.At this moment, Yi Pucheng was drinking hot tea slowly, with a smile on his lips.Mu Xian actually didn't speak, his delicate face drooped slightly, his eyes were deep and calm.

Are they waiting for a reply from Kenya?

The conversation just now had a twist and turn, and my mood was constantly ups and downs.Now that I think about it carefully, Yipu City is really at every step.

He focused the conversation on promoting and enabling Kenya.Waiting for Kenya to stand on the united front with him, and then bring up the matter of the spiritual power, as if this is a problem that father and son need to solve together.

He is really foxy and daring enough to be able to adapt to this level.

I couldn't help asking: "You gave him the password, what will you do in the future?"

Yi Pucheng didn't even wrinkle his eyebrows. He glanced at Mu Xian, then at me, and smiled sarcastically: "You really take this as a problem? It's simple, you don't need to bother your husband. Your mental strength So strong, next time we meet, just find a chance and kill Kenya. How can a dead man be a marshal?"

My heart was shocked - he actually made such an idea?

But he was right, Kenya didn't know the level of mental strength of me and Mu Xian at all.It's really easy to kill him.

But...too ruthless.

Yipu City is not only cunning, but also cruel enough in his bones.

So Mu Xian acquiesced to Yi Pucheng's actions just now, did he also have the same thoughts?I looked at Mu Xian, but he didn't have the slightest contempt or stern expression, but said lightly: "He may be the right candidate for Marshal of the Southern District."

I was taken aback, and Yi Pucheng looked at Mu Xian with raised eyebrows.

"His family is very powerful. With him, the government can get more financial support." His dark brows looked cold and calm, "Compared with Tari's gentleness, Kenya's toughness may be able to better build New Stan ——Use it and see it.”

Hearing his tone, it seemed that he had had similar thoughts long ago.I remember the last time when Tari asked whether Kenya should be recruited for the migration work, Mu Xian vetoed it outright. In the face of a crisis, he obviously did not trust Kenya.But when it comes to a peaceful future, he can stand on the side of the empire, regardless of past suspicions.

I nodded: "You're right." Yi Pucheng smiled lazily, noncommittal.

As soon as the voice fell, the communicator rang, and it was Kenya's voice:

"Father, I found those spiritual power users."

***
Sure enough, Kenya said that those spiritual power users were taken back to the imperial capital by his subordinates as civilians killed in the empire, and reported their current placement—in a medium-sized city [-] kilometers away from the empire.

We finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Mu Xian immediately ordered Mo Pu to lead a team.And ordered that once the person is successfully received, follow-up personnel will secretly keep an eye on and search for that location, because Kenya is likely to return to Stan.Although the two sides have initially reached a covenant, but still have to guard against him.

As soon as these arrangements were finished, Mo Lin knocked on the door: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the migration ceremony is about to begin."

It was almost noon, and the vast space port was shrouded in sunlight, shining brightly.The podium was covered with a red carpet, and several military and political officials had already attended and waited.Mu Xian and I returned to sit in the middle of the first row, and Yi Pucheng sat on the throne at the very front.

At this moment, those passenger spaceships have been loaded.Through the small glass windows of the spaceship, many faces could be seen indistinctly.Beside each spaceship stood five crew members and several guards.

And the fighter planes in charge of defense on the periphery also had pilots.They opened the cabin and all looked up in the direction of the podium.

ready.

After a short music, Tari beside Mu Xian got up and walked to the loudspeaker in front of him.He was wearing a neat black suit, with a solemn expression and slightly red cheeks.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, all officials of the empire, and my compatriots." He said in a deep voice, "I am Prince Tari. I am honored to announce on behalf of my father and my colleagues who have worked hard day and night for this migration , The migration ceremony officially begins."

Inside and outside the space port, the applause was the same.I clapped my hands, Mu Xian and I looked at each other, a smile flashed in his dark eyes.

My heart, which has been hanging for many days, seems to have settled down a lot.

The migration is about to start, and the spiritual powers have also been found. Yipu City seems to be normal—everything seems to be going well, and it will definitely continue to go smoothly.

After a short speech, Tari invited His Majesty the Emperor to address the nation.Yi Pucheng began to talk with high spirits.I have to say that his speech was as wonderful as ever, and even I was fascinated by it, and began to fantasize about the life of New Stein with a dignified but hopeful mood.

After thinking about it, my heart felt sweet again—whether New Stan is good or not doesn't have much influence on me, because I have already made an appointment with Mu Xian, and the universe is my home.

In the end, it was Mu Xian, as the general commander of the country, who issued instructions to the pilots in charge of this batch of migration work.A good start is very important, so he also chose the best pilots in the army to take on this transportation mission.Adoop and they are among them.

The lights were shining and the sun was blinding.Mu Xian gently shook my hand and stood up.The white military uniform made his complexion fairer, and his brows were as cold as snow.Facing the attention of thousands of people, he calmly walked to the loudspeaker, and said in a deep voice, "Attention all pilots, this is Commander Noel—reporting the status of the crew."

At this time, a steady and powerful voice came from the loudspeaker:
"All members of the first team are in place!"

"All members of the second team are in place!"

"All the members of the third team are in place!"

……

There was silence in the space port, only these emotionless and boring answers echoed in the sky.But I felt a little emotional when I heard it. When I looked up, many officials also had excited expressions on their faces.

Yes, after planning for so long, it finally came to this day to officially change the fate of the Stan people.And they didn't know that what they changed was actually the future of the entire universe.

My eye sockets were a little wet, and Mu Xian's figure became hazy, only his cold voice echoed in my ears:

"Squads, report engine status."

"All teams, final inspection before takeoff."

“遵循我的口令，按照飞行编号，成巡航队列起飞：10、9、8……4、3、2、1!”

After Mu Xian issued the last order, he raised his head, his tall body was like a proud tree, standing quietly in the sun.And I seemed to see crowds of people surging at the same time on several roads outside the space port in the distance - tens of thousands of people looked up and looked at the sky that entrusted new hope.

Perhaps at this moment, the entire Stan, and even other civilizations in the galaxy, are watching the fighter plane representing Stan's new life take off.

The humming of the engines of hundreds of spaceships and fighter jets enveloped the entire space port at the same time, and the air seemed to vibrate accordingly.Soon, the row of spaceships at the front of the queue, like heavy dark gray behemoths, lifted off vertically at the same time.The dark flames drew fleeting traces in the air.

Then the second row, the third row... When they rise to the level of the podium, there will be a short pause, like some kind of tribute.Then it accelerated violently, rose into the clouds, and soon disappeared.

Earth-shattering cheers sounded from the ground.The podium was no longer quiet, Ta Rui helped Yi Pucheng stand up and waved to everyone.Officials shook hands and hugged each other.

Mu Xian also turned around from the front of the stage and shook hands with everyone one by one.When I stood up, he immediately turned his head and looked at me through the crowd, with a bright smile on his handsome face.The sun shone on his face, golden and dazzling, golden and red.

I looked at him and lost my mind, as if the whole world was only left with us looking at each other from a distance.

For a moment, I was slightly taken aback.

As if feeling strange at the same time, Mu Xian looked away from me.We turned our heads at the same time and looked towards the sky.

The blue sky is so blue that it shines.

It was still a golden-orange star just now, but at some point it revealed a thin blush.

The light is too dazzling, and in a trance, I seem to see the red seeping out from the depths of the stars, slowly smudged.

red.

A precursor to a red giant.

There was a moment of blankness in my mind, and I turned my head to look at Mu Xian blankly.He stared at the stars, the smile on his fair face completely faded.

No!how so?How come so much earlier?

I heard a voice screaming silently and angrily deep in my chest.The hustle and bustle of people in front of and around ears seemed to become distant in an instant.

Everyone else didn't realize it, so I rushed towards Mu Xian's direction.And his face was extremely cold, he suddenly raised the communicator between his wrists: "All attention..."

Before the words fell, I had already crashed into his arms.He hugged me tightly with one hand.At the same time, the ground under his feet seemed to be hit hard by something, and it shook violently.The entire imperial capital in front of my eyes seemed to tremble.

The cheers died down, and Tari and another official fell to the ground beside me.And inside and outside the space port, there were exclamations from far and near.

An anxious and severe voice sounded from the communicator between Mu Xian's wrists: "Commander, Commander, I'm Major Adorp. We have encountered strong radiation from starspots and cannot leave the atmosphere of Star Stan. Please cancel the flight. Requesting an emergency landing..." Suddenly there was a sharp stabbing sound, his voice stopped abruptly, and Mu Xian's expression changed suddenly: "Adopu!" But the background light of the communicator was all extinguished—it failed!

The officials all returned to their workbenches, all pale.

"Your Majesty, the command system is not responding!"

"The value of the sunspot storm exceeds the normal value by 10 times, and it is still increasing! 15 times, 17 times, 20 times!"

"Your Majesty! This is... a red catastrophe! The stars have begun to undergo a red cataclysm!"

……

At this moment, the originally calm atmosphere seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, forming huge gray vortices of air flow.One after another blazing, huge fireballs tore through the sky and fell rapidly, and the people on the ground uttered horrific cries.That was the star sunspot storm, which began to wreak havoc on the creatures on the ground.

Ta Rui's face was livid, and he looked anxious: "Noel, could it be that the Great Red Change has come earlier?"

Yi Pucheng grabbed Mu Xian's wrist, his eyes were gloomy: "What are you doing? What the fuck are you kidding!"

Mu Xian's face was tense, as if covered with a layer of ice, no matter who pushed him, he would remain rigid.My heart was full of despair.

Early, really early.

Not a single ship escaped.We cannot escape.
