Counterattack [Interstellar]

"His Royal Highness, the second spatial leap is over." Allen's ceremonial official behavior Alan did a simple physical examination, and after a while, he whispered, "All indicators are normal... Your Highness, Admiral Barker just contacted him. Passed us, because there was no communication in Yueqian, now contact the general?"

Allen lowered the rolled up cuffs and nodded slightly. After a while, Bark's holographic image appeared in the cabin. Bark glanced at Allen and said, "Just did a space jump?"

Allen nodded, and Barker said: "Your Majesty forgot to give you my work report. I will pass it to you in a while. I will be in Tara in a few hours. Use this time to familiarize yourself with the situation there. ."

After the spatial transition, the physical dizziness has not disappeared. Alan's voice is lazy, and he nods slightly: "I make you bother."

Barker looked at Alan with his brows furrowed, then hesitated and said: "You and Pei Yao..."

"Huh?" Allen became sober a lot in an instant, raised his eyes and frowned, "What happened to Pei Yao?"

Barker laughed: "What can you do? You have corrupted two guards from your Majesty, and transferred a whole regiment from me to station Alice. Now Alice's security is stricter than that of the Evda Palace, you What's not to worry about?"

Allen laughed at himself, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "If you care, you will be confused."

"I want to ask you..." Bark changed from his usual crispness, and then whispered for a long time, "Pei Yao...has he...marked you?"

Barker smiled bitterly and waved his hand: "I just asked your Majesty. He showed me the daily life records that your maidservant in the palace submitted to him. You are in the same room almost every night, but I know that your young couple are affectionate, maybe It’s just a rest in one place. This kind of thing is not good. I can’t do anything. I can only ask you."

Allen is helpless, this is not good for being the crown prince. After the canonization ceremony, the waiter next to him needs to do more than half of the work. It doesn't count to record his daily life every day, even which room he stays in the night. Allen smiled: "I told them that they don't need to remember these, and Pei Yao and I can't give birth to children. What's the point of memorizing these according to the old rules?"

"New-born royals must accept strict ancestry identification. What is the use of just recording the date? The significance of recording your daily life is not here. This is an important way for your Majesty to understand whether the relationship between the prince and the prince is harmonious." Balke shook his head. "Whoever tells you this will ask you whether you marked it or not!"

Allen couldn't, so he had to say: "Not yet."

"Not yet?" Balk frowned. "You are together every day..."

"Really not." Allen smiled. "Although it is usually a bit troublesome, in this case, it is very important not to establish the final mark, right? It is really marked. I can't be separated from him like this. "

Barker sighed, "I knew it, otherwise you would always take his, Ellen, what are you thinking?"

Allen is funny: "What happened to you today?"

Barker frowned and looked at Alan, and said solemnly: "Do you really think I don't know why you must go to Tara?"

Alan's heart moved, he turned his head and glanced at his courtesy officer. The courtesy officer knew it and said, "I will take care of the outside for you, please don't worry."

The ceremonial officer retired, and Bark asked, "I just thought of it just now. Go there because you think Pei Xuan has been hiding there all these years."

Alan didn't answer, and Barker rubbed his face irritably: "Why didn't I think about it before..."

"I'm not sure, I just think it's possible." Allen pursed his lower lip and said cautiously, "Pei Xuan has always been in contact with the star thief. I thought he was probably going home like the star thief, but carefully It is unrealistic to think about it. According to Benjamin’s previous statement that he has a lot of people, it’s not easy to bring such a large number of people to wander and multiply in the interstellar space, and their special status makes it impossible to settle down in an open manner. The most reasonable thing is to live on a planet on the edge of this empire. The system here is not sound and the topography is complicated. It is not difficult to settle down."

The more Barker listened, the more annoyed he became. He interrupted Allen and said, "What are you doing now that you know?! Pei Xuan knows that you are coming, he is the first to kill you! Forget it, or I will return for you. ...Pei Xuan probably hates me too, but he probably still remembers a bit of my old feelings, so he won't do anything to me..."

"You stayed in Tara for a few months before, Pei Xuan didn't contact you." Allen said calmly, "So it's the same if you come again. Besides, this is just a guess of mine. Pei Xuan is not necessarily here. Even if he is, I don’t think he can kill me."

"You have seen Pei Yao's skill. His father is more capable than he, and Pei Xuan is best at assassination." Balk looked at Allen worriedly, "Allen... this time you It's really playing with fire."

Allen smiled faintly: "It's okay. As long as I knew Pei Xuan was still alive, I knew that I would face him one day sooner or later. Pei Yao has always missed his parents. I also want to let him see after the problem is resolved. See his father and mother."

"Solved?" Barker laughed bitterly, "How to solve? You are your majesty's son, what problem do you think Pei Xuan can solve with you calmly?"

"I was not born when Alston killed him. What is my business?" Allen smiled at Bark, "Speaking of which, what does it have to do with me marking Pei Yao?"

Bark sighed: "If he knows that you and Pei Yao have established a bond, he won't act on you again anyway... He always has to worry about his son."

Allen smiled: "This is a good way, so I promise you that if it really comes to a critical juncture, I will lie to Pei Xuan that Pei Yao has marked me."

"Do you think you can conceal it?" Barker glanced at Alan uneasy, "Don't underestimate Pei Xuan."

Allen said with relief: "Don't worry about this. I have enough troops this time to make me resist any kind of attack. It is still unknown whether Pei Xuan is or not in Tara Star. I don't know if I can find him. ."

Barker nodded: "I haven't noticed anything unusual in Tara for a few months, so he hides himself very well."

Barker was still worried about Allen, and then asked him carefully for a long time before hanging up the communication.

After a while, Barker’s work report was sent over, Allen turned on the display, and a strange scene appeared in front of Allen...

Due to the frequent crustal movement hundreds of millions of years ago, Tara star formed a landform of hilly and gullied land. After hundreds of millions of years of friction and extrusion, the mountains collapsed into the seabed, and the trenches inserted into the mountain pass. There are very few flat areas, almost all covered by bottomless mountain passes, and the Tara people live in these mountain crevices where there is no sunlight all day long.

Watching a segment of the video, Allen understands why I heard people say that the Tara people are "people living underground". They built roads underground to connect various mountain passes and valleys. They built cities underground, unless There are special circumstances, otherwise they may not be on the ground for life...Of course, it may also be to avoid excessive sunlight on the surface. Tara's stratospheric atmosphere is barren and cannot protect people on the ground very well.

Allen gradually understood why the Tara people did not want the people of the main star to build factories here. The terrain here is too special. Once the ore starts to be mined, the surrounding area may be affected. There will be frequent accidents, even if their houses are protected. There is also the danger of the cover being buried deep underground, not to mention that there are more people who can't afford a protective cover here.

Allen called up another image. This is the night scene of Tara Star. Tara Star has twelve natural satellites. At night, there are twelve moons above the sky. The moonlight passes through the gorge and through the rugged stone walls. , And finally shined on the ground moss plants, emitting a shining light.

Allen took a deep breath and suddenly regretted not bringing Pei Yao with him.

"Send this image to the princess." Allen turned to look at the courtesy officer, "By the way, I want to tell him, I miss him so much, let him take care of himself."
