Chapter 19: Master? Grandmother?
"I'm sorry boss, I disappointed you."
Yun Yi waved his hand, which was also something he expected. Since Cai Hongzhang has taken Chu Xiuxian away, he will not let him appear in public. Sakura's ability is to rely on network devices for tracking, and where there are no such devices, it can't do anything.
What puzzled Yun Yi was that Chu Xiuxian was the prince of the Chu Tang Empire, although he was relatively young, but for the crown prince Chu Xiuling, he also had a certain amount of pressure and competitiveness.
It's just that Chu Xiuxian was arranged here by Chu Xiuling, but he was taken away by Cai Hongzhang, who Chu Xiuling relied on very much, what is the problem here?
Now Yun Yi has no way of determining whether Cai Hongzhang's taking away of Chu Xiuxian is his own intention or Chu Xiuling's arrangement.
Shaking his head, Yun Yi landed his gaze on the screen.
Qin Shou's fleet entered the port of Chang'an Yixing three hours ago, and under the arrangement of the Chu and Tang royal families, the group left the port in a convoy composed of dozens of hovercars, transferred to atmospheric vehicles to enter the surface of the planet, and entered an area arranged for them by the Chu and Tang royal families in the interior of the palace area. From the arrival of the spacecraft to the check-in, only a few people sent by the Chu Tang royal family accompanied the process, and there was no fanfare everywhere, and there was no media to follow up and interview.
The cooperation between Qin Shou and Chu Xiuyu is an extremely important thing among the upper echelons, which will affect the future situation of the entire Chu Tang. But for most ordinary people, Qin Shou is still the prime minister of this empire, so Qin Shou's arrival is just an ordinary thing in their eyes.
The place where Qin Shou lived was a wide semi-enclosed area, covering a small area, with only four or five buildings with a height of no more than 50 floors.
After moving in, Qin Shou's people immediately set up defenses in this area. On the surface, only a few strong men patrolled; But in fact, in those hidden places in this area, there are many armed and experienced soldiers, closely monitoring everyone who passes by. In addition, in several buildings, weapons such as self-controlled small and medium-sized beam cannons are installed at the window positions on every few floors, which are controlled by the optical brain. With such an all-round and three-dimensional defense, even if the attacker used a heavy weapon such as a mecha, it could delay a lot of time, allowing Qin Shou to leave safely.
For Qin Shou, he dared to live on a star in Chang'an so boldly and with confidence. Yun Yi couldn't help but admire his courage a little.
You must know that after Chu Tianyun's death, Qin Shouke once controlled Chang'an Yixing, slaughtered many people in the Chu and Tang royal families, and wanted to kill Chu Xiuling, who had the status of the crown prince. If Lin Jiaoyang hadn't left Chu Xiuling at a critical moment, I'm afraid he would have been a corpse by now. Although Chu Xiuling did not die, at least one-third of the people in the royal family of the early Tang Dynasty were killed by Qin Shou, and Yun Yi believed that Chu Xiuling definitely wanted to kill Qin Shou now. In Yunyi's mind, if he was Qin Shou, he would definitely not get off the battleship, not even enter the Chang'an system, either use the interstellar network to discuss the meeting, or find a place in the outer space of the Chang'an galaxy to negotiate.
Qin Shou knew that Chu Xiuyu would never dare to kill him.
Because if he was killed, the territory controlled by Qin Shou would not fall into Chu Xiuling's hands because of this. But if the two parties form an alliance and cooperate again, there is no possibility, maybe the Dragon Slayer Society will not care about the one and a half star domains occupied by Qin Shou, but he Chu Xiuling can't not care, under the coercion of Lin Jiaoyang's army, he can only die, even if Lin Jiaoyang wants to support a puppet emperor, he will not choose him.
With the arrival of Qin Shou, the defense of Chang'an One Star became more and more tight. Even the air patrol over this secret place where Yunyi is located has been shortened from nearly once an hour to once every twenty minutes now, and the number of patrol planes has also increased a lot, making the middle-aged man who came to give them supplies and intelligence every day also miserable, and it takes a lot of effort to avoid the patrol every time.
In the evening, the middle-aged man brought new news.
"You mean, Chu Xiuxian was taken away?" Yun Yi's face was a little strange, and he also admired the middle-aged man's intelligence acquisition channels. Chu Xiuxian was taken away by Cai Hongzhang in the morning, and it was only less than twenty hours later, and the middle-aged man already knew. It seems that this person also has his own circle and way on Chang'an One Star, so he can know this matter so clearly. However, when I thought that this person was arranged by Lin Jiaoyang, I am afraid that a few years ago or even decades ago, Lin Jiaoyang had already begun to arrange for people to enter Chang'an One Star one after another.
Of course, this does not mean that Lin Jiaoyang has had the intention of rebellion since then. With Lin Jiaoyang's political consciousness and keen sense of smell, as well as his impermeable conduct, if he doesn't arrange a few of his own people in a place like the palace, then he doesn't need to be a marshal. Even if he doesn't rebel, he can still be used to find out some important information about the royal family for him. You know, some news, the first knows and the second knows, the result will be completely different.
After so many years, the people arranged by Lin Jiaoyang in the palace have formed a force that is not weak. Just from the accuracy and speed of this intelligence acquisition, they can already show their strength.
"Do you know Chu Xiuxian's current location?"
The middle-aged man shook his head, drew a circle on the map of the palace area on the light brain, and said, "We can only be sure that the prince was brought here." But the exact location is not yet known. I've already asked someone else to investigate, and maybe by this time tomorrow, we'll be able to find the exact location. ”
Yun Yi glanced at it and couldn't help but nodded. In that circle and under the surveillance of [Sakura], the place where Cai Hongzhang disappeared last was not far away.
"Okay, I see." Yun Yi nodded and asked again, "By the way, do you know when the talks between the royal family and Qin Shou began?" ”
"Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, the first contact will take place." The middle-aged man said, looked at him from top to bottom, and said; "I advise you not to bother with the idea of talks. Maybe we can save the prince, and we can do it without alarming anyone. But if you sabotage the talks between the two sides, I'm afraid that you will be discovered as soon as you appear. And even if you succeed in destroying the venue, Qin Shou and Cai Hongzhang are not stupid people, and you can see at a glance that you are sent by Marshal Lin, which may stimulate them to complete the alliance faster. ”
Yun Yi glanced at him, slightly surprised.
I didn't expect this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man to have such foresight. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I'm only here to complete the task this time, and anything else has nothing to do with me." ”
The middle-aged man nodded reassuringly and turned to leave. Of course, he didn't know that Yun Yi didn't fight this idea as he said. In Yun Yi's heart, he has been thinking about how to complete the task and destroy the alliance plan of the two sides by the way.
……
"Star, it's time for me to go to the lab."
In the independent restaurant on the seventy-fourth floor of the Xingyun Group, Xiao Tongyun's slender and white little hand held a silver spoon to send the delicious meat porridge into the mouth of the man opposite, and looked at him with tender eyes to swallow the food before speaking slowly.
Li Xingke wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "Let's go, anyway, I don't have anything else to do today, so let's go with you." ”
"Really!" Xiao Tongyun looked extremely happy. On the one hand, it is because his lover will accompany him to work, but on the other hand, it is because Li Xingke has reached the innate level 2 cultivation, and in the mecha experiment, he can obtain more accurate data, so as to facilitate Xiao Tongyun and the mecha design team led by her to better complete the work.
But soon, Xiao Tongyun frowned slightly and said, "What about Ling'er?" At this time, she was about to wake up. ”
Li Xingke grabbed his hair, looked distressed, and thought for a while: "I'd better send a message to Mother Xu and ask her to help take care of it first." ”
"Well, that's all there is to it." Xiao Tongyun nodded.
Coming out of the restaurant, Li Xingke put his right hand on Xiao Tongyun's waist, and the two walked on the way to the laboratory, chatting intimately, anyone who saw them could see that they were a couple. In the blink of an eye, Li Xingke has been here for more than two years. During this period, except for returning to Paradise Island twice for some things, I stayed here for the rest of the time. The sweet taste of love made Li Xingke almost forget everything, he no longer used to get tasks from Paradise Island's agents in various parts of the Southern Universe every day to earn Heaven's contribution points, but spent all day with Xiao Tongyun, eating and sleeping together, working and resting together. When Xiao Tongyun was working, sometimes he would go to help, sometimes he practiced by himself, and more often, he was a full-time dad at home, taking care of the little girl who was only more than a year old.
That is the crystallization of his love with Xiao Tongyun, a very cute little girl.
As soon as the two of them stepped out of the elevator, they saw a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old at the elevator door, with short chestnut hair and dark eyes, looking curiously at everything here, as if she was very surprised. Seeing her, a trace of puzzlement appeared on Xiao Tongyun's face, these floors are the most important test areas of the company, almost all of them are the company's secrets, and no outsiders will be allowed to come in, why is there a little girl here?
Could it be that the researcher came with the family child?
As soon as she thought of this, Xiao Tongyun was a little angry. Not because the little girl might divulge the company's secrets, but because of the danger here. As a mecha company's laboratory, it's not safe, and it's not uncommon for researchers to be injured due to problems with certain experiments. As a mother of two children, Xiao Tongyun is very dissatisfied at the moment. There are many employees in the company, and some of them will bring their children to work, and Xiao Tongyun has built a children's playground in the building for the convenience of employees, and there are special people to take care of those children. It is estimated that this is another researcher who may have forgotten to send his child to the playground.
However, Xiao Tongyun, who has always been confused, doesn't want to think about it, does a fifteen-year-old girl still need to go to the playground? What's more, there are security guards on these floors, and even the children brought by the researcher will be blocked outside by the security guards.
"Little sister, whose child are you, why are you here?" Xiao Tongyun asked with concern, "Where is your family?" ”
"Be careful." Li Xingke only glanced at it, and immediately pulled Xiao Tongyun behind his back and looked at the girl vigilantly. With Li Xingke's innate second-level cultivation, it can be seen at a glance that this girl's martial arts cultivation has reached the ninth level of the day after tomorrow, and I am afraid that one more step will be able to break through to the tenth level of the day after tomorrow!
Xiao Tongyun glanced at him with disgust, as if she was very dissatisfied with Li Xingke's approach. In her opinion, just a little girl, what is the danger.
The girl turned her head, first glanced at Li Xingke, also showed a wary expression, and took a step back to assume a defensive posture. Then, she rolled her eyes slightly, her eyes fell on Xiao Tongyun's face, and suddenly a hint of joy appeared on her face, and she immediately turned her head and ran into the corridor, put her hands to her mouth to make a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly in the quiet building.
"Master, I found my grandmother......"
The sound of reverberation sounded in the corridor, forming countless echoes. Li Xingke and Xiao Tongyun, who were standing behind the girl, heard what she shouted, and they suddenly seemed to be petrified, and they were stunned.
