Star Sea Hunter

Baudelaire frowned slightly, and reprimanded with some displeasure: "Mara, why are you in such a panic? What a shame!"

The guy named Mara said with a sad face: "Your Highness, Master Tang Tianwei went out to play today, and for some reason he offended people from the Imperial Guard Corps. It seems that the rank is not low! Master and his housekeeper, and All the guards were taken away!"

Tang Kang's face couldn't help changing, and he hurriedly asked: "People from the Imperial Guard? Can you know their specific identities?"

Mara shook her head blankly: "I'm not sure, our people just saw them being taken on a speeding car from a distance, and there was a logo of the Imperial Guard on the car body!"

"This... Your Highness, what do you think?" Tang Kang looked at Baudelaire as if asking for help.

The Duke pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know where they are going?"

"I know I know!" Mara said hastily, "They are heading towards the palace!"

"Palace?" Baudelaire's expression became serious, "That's the guards next to His Majesty the Emperor! It seems that it's really troublesome!"

He thought for a while, and then asked: "How did the young master conflict with them?"

"I heard from the people in the auction center that the young master competed with those people for the ownership of an ancient relic, and they bought it in the end! The young master was not convinced, so he brought people to block their theory, so..."

"It's ridiculous!" Tang Kang scolded with some annoyance, "I told him this bastard, now he's more restrained when he goes out than before! He's so good, he even dares to provoke the Imperial Guard! Impatient to live!"

"Forget it, this is the end of the matter, it's useless to talk about it!" Baudelaire waved his hand and sighed:

"The top priority is to get him back first! Brother Tang Kang, prepare the presents! This time, I'm afraid we will have to spend a lot of money again!"

"Money is not a problem!" Tang Kang said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid that the other party will not accept this kind of trick at all. It seems that the other party should be a senior general of the Imperial Guard Corps! We have only dealt with them for a short time, and we can't find a way out at all." Go unblock it!"

These new nobles, although their status is respected, their influence in the upper echelons of the empire is actually quite limited!After all, it has been less than half a year since he surrendered to the empire, and he has not had time to manage a network of contacts that matches his status!

It's usually fine, but once something happens and involves the senior generals of the Imperial Legion, it's hard to find someone who can speak!This is where Tang Kang feels a headache.

Baudelaire thought about it too, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Why don't I go and talk to His Highness Xia Qiying, she has gotten closer to His Majesty the Emperor recently, maybe she can help!"

The Kingdom of Ruibolang has been attached to the Federation since its founding. This Tang Kang has always been on good terms with him, and usually gives him many gifts!That's why he recognized his favorite youngest son as his adopted son.After going to the imperial capital, the two families have to take care of each other and help each other, so this matter cannot be left alone!

"Then... I will trouble Your Highness a lot!" Tang Kang replied with some heartache.

Don't ask, just ask someone to do something, and you won't be able to come to the door empty-handed!This gift has to be prepared again, and in the identity of the other party, it is not rich enough to give!Of course, this has to be counted on his account!

I heard that His Majesty has a good impression of her, and there are rumors outside that she may become the next imperial concubine, and her status at that time will be far beyond what they can compare!

After all, if nobles with embarrassing status like them want to eat well outside, they must have talents in the palace!Thinking of this, he became more and more excited about Baudelaire's previous proposal.

……

"Have the results of the trial come out?"

In the palace, Yun Haoyu saw Su Shangqing coming in from the outside, put down the light pen in his hand and asked.

The other party's expression was a little strange: "I don't know if I should congratulate Your Majesty. You went out this time, and it seems that you caught a big fish and came back!"

"Big fish?" Yun Haoyu suddenly became interested, and said with a smile, "How big is it? Could it be that his father, or his godfather, has an even more astonishing background?"

"You guessed it all?" Su Shangqing asked in surprise.

"Why, do they really have something shameful?" Yun Haoyu wondered.

"Look for yourself!" Su Shangqing handed a statement to the female officer next to her, and she forwarded it to the desk.

He took it over and glanced at it hastily, his expression changed slightly.

"Mu Qingya!" He called out in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty is here!" The commander of the palace guards in uniform came out, bowed and saluted, "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"Take a group of people and invite the Earl of Tang Kang and the Duke of Baudelaire. I have something to ask them!"

"Yes!" Mu Qingya agreed, and before she had time to go out, she saw Shuangyan walking in.

"Your Majesty! Duke Xia Qiying, Duke Baudelaire, and Earl Tang Kang are begging to see you outside the palace gate!" she reported.

"Oh? They're already here! That's just right!" Yun Haoyu smiled slightly, "Let them all come in!"

After a while, the three of them were all under the jade steps.

"Several members of the Qing family jointly asked for an interview, what's the matter?" He fixed his eyes on Tang Kang for a few seconds and asked.

Tang Kang himself didn't dare to speak, and looked at Baudelaire as if asking for help, and Baudelaire turned his head to look at Xia Qiying again, causing the other party to roll his eyes.

Although there was a estrangement with them due to certain things in the past, they are allies for many years after all, and when they have to deal with each other in the future, and they also received gifts, it is not good to embarrass them too much.

Thinking of this reason, she finally stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's like this..."

When she explained her purpose, Yun Haoyu sighed softly: "The trouble caused by that young master is not as simple as you said!"

"What? This..." Xia Qiying frowned and looked at Baudelaire.He averted the other party's gaze with some guilt.

Yun Haoyu looked at her expression, and said gently: "It seems that you are also ignorant and have been deceived by them! Sit down first! I will deal with it myself!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" She replied with a pretty face, turning her head and glaring at them fiercely.

"Duke Baudelaire, how long have you known this Earl of Tang Kang?" Yun Haoyu asked calmly, "This matter has nothing to do with you, but since you are willing to stand out, it can be seen that the relationship between your two families is quite close. Not bad! It should be a family friend, right?"

Baudelaire hesitated and said: "Return to Your Majesty! The relationship between Earl Tang Kang and the minister is indeed good, but the two families are not family friends! He used to be the lord of the Kingdom of Ruibolang and has always been a vassal state of the former Federation. We are closer to Weichen, so..."

"Oh! That's right! According to this, it seems that you don't know the reason very well!" Yun Haoyu shook his head with a smile, and said:

"You go and sit down too! Let me handle this matter!"

So, only Tang Kang stood there alone at the bottom of the jade steps!

His lips moved, wanting to say something, when he looked up and saw His Majesty's deep eyes staring at him without the slightest emotion, a chill came up in his heart for no reason, and he lowered his head in fear.

There was silence in the hall, and the ominous premonition in my heart became stronger and stronger!

After a long silence, the emperor's cold voice rang in his ears: "Earl Tang Kang!"

"My minister is here!" He replied subconsciously.

"I have a question, and I haven't been able to get a satisfactory answer. I wonder if you can clear it up for me?"

Tang Kang said anxiously: "Whatever your Majesty wants to ask, I will definitely know everything and say everything!"

"That's good! I'll ask you a question!" Yun Haoyu let out a burst of unintelligible laughter, and said softly:

"Do you think it's better to be the president of a superpower, or the king of a tiny country?"

Following this seemingly ordinary question, Tang Kang's face suddenly turned pale, his body trembled slightly, and he forced himself to ask calmly, "I don't know why your Majesty...why did you say that! I... I am... "

Yun Haoyu stood up, stared at the grey-haired veteran, and said word by word:

"Because only you have had such a personal experience, so only you are the most qualified to answer this question! Do you think so? Dear Earl Tang Kang, or His Majesty the King! No, actually I should call you Your Excellency the President!"

"Your Majesty! You...know all about it?" Tang Kang said weakly with a pale face.

Yun Haoyu's voice slowly turned cold: "Tell me, do I call you Tang Kang or Tang Tingjun now? Your Excellency, the President of the Gadley Federation, the former head of the superpower, but now he has gone to the prison soul Xinghai to set up his own family." , I haven't seen you for a few years, it seems that your life is very nourishing!"

As he spoke, he walked down the jade steps and slowly came to him:

"When you are on the throne of the king, dreaming and enjoying yourself, I don't know if you still remember the hundreds of millions of soldiers of the Federation marching forward, blood staining the starry sky; but you still remember the trillions of citizens of the Federation who became alien creatures because of your selfishness. rations; still remember the countless federal refugees who were impoverished, wandering in the sea of ​​stars, and homeless?"

The voice of His Majesty the Emperor seemed to come from the Senluo Difu, and every word exuded a bone-chilling chill:

"As a supernatural warrior of the Shuofeng Empire Legion, I went out with the army! I witnessed how a once prosperous, wealthy, and powerful superpower was tossed to death by a group of dirty and bastard politicians! For my own sake Self-interest, for the plutocratic masters behind you, you sacrificed the military gods of the Federation, abandoned countless elite legions by you, and threw trillions of citizens to alien races by you, and even the soldiers of countless allies were treated as cheap by you. The cannon fodder is consumed!"

"After the fall of the Federation, you group of high-ranking figures saw that nothing could be done, so you swept away all the wealth in the Federation treasury, and ran away quietly! You came here to change your appearance and continue to live the days of debauchery with peace of mind! You group Clothed in human skin, a beast not as good as a pig or a dog!!"

The last sentence was so harsh that the courtiers in the palace, the maids and guards were astonished, and they didn't dare to speak out!
