Chapter 128
"Your Highness, given the current situation, we must leave before tomorrow morning. The enemy is too numerous and has pushed us into a desperate situation. If we don't leave now, once the encirclement is complete... Your Highness, please prioritize yourself."
There was a dead silence in the conference room. All those present were Huo Qi's confidants. But at this moment, everyone was looking at Xikai E Peizhen silently with admiration.
As expected, he was Lord E Peizhen, who had grown up with His Highness and was once considered a confidant. Even though those present were all His Highness's closest confidants, at the critical moment, he was the only one who dared to intervene and persuade His Highness. I just wonder if His Highness would vent his anger on me...
As Xikai E Peizhen spoke, the conference room fell into a brief silence...
Huo Qi didn't say anything, but looked at Xikai E Peizhen with an oppressive and sharp gaze. After a while, seeing that he was staring at her without any sign of retreat, Huo Qi looked away and slowly asked:
"There's still no news about the disciples we sent out?" Huo Qi suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a hoarse voice.
"No, Your Highness, after so many days, I think it is very likely that Miss Mu Jiao has been rescued and has escaped from Han'e Star."
Xikai E Peizhen was also feeling a little emotional. He even felt like retreating under the pressure of his friend's gaze, but in the end he did not back off.
The current situation does not allow him to retreat, and he thinks his friends know better than him.
Yin Jiuyuan is not an easy person to deal with, and now they are outnumbered and deep in the enemy's lair, and are at an absolute disadvantage.
It wasn't until his friend looked away and asked him this question that Xikai knew he had won the bet.
"Yeah……"
Huo Qi murmured in a low voice, yes, as Xi Kai said, there is a great possibility that Jiaojiao has been taken away from Han'e Star, but why does his intuition tell him that she is still here.
Xikai E Peizhen remained silent, waiting for Huo Qi to make a decision.
In fact, they should have left as soon as they received the news that Mu Jiao had been rescued. Staying a moment longer would increase the danger. But His Highness insisted on staying on Han'e Star. Not only did he send his disciples into the city to search secretly, he even sent many disciples into the vast sea of snow to search for Mu Jiao's whereabouts.
Xikai Epei was truly baffled. Since the rescuers had the ability to rescue Mu Jiao from the heavily guarded leader's residence, they would most likely have saved her to the very end. Hiding her in the city might have been possible, but being outside the protective barrier during Han'e Star's severe cold season would have made her vulnerable to being killed by beasts, freezing temperatures, and strong winds. Would the rescuers have left Mu Jiao, someone with no self-protection capabilities, outside the protective barrier? It was practically impossible.
But for some reason, His Highness thinks that Mu Jiao is still on this Han'e Star?
…
"Your Highness, according to our coordinates, a disciple 12,500 kilometers southeast has reported the whereabouts of Miss Mu Jiao and her pet."
Just when the conference room was silent, Eleven pushed open the door of the conference room and rushed in with an excited look on his face. He forgot to knock on the door and forgot to greet everyone. He couldn't wait to tell them a rare piece of good news.
The dull atmosphere in the starship's main conference room was instantly broken, and everyone was talking at once. His Highness was truly a master of predictions. Their hard work over the past few days had finally paid off. The person was actually still on Frost Star!!!
Seeing her friend, who never showed his emotions, suddenly stand up after hearing what Ze Shiyi said, and look at Ze Shiyi with some excitement and eagerness in his eyes, Xikai. E Peizhen suddenly closed her eyes.
His Highness's intentions towards Mu Jiao... A man who is adept at scheming and scheming, and never shows his emotions, but only got a little bit of information about this woman, which gave him the opportunity to see his emotions. What does this mean?
His Highness had always been more mature and sensible than his peers, deep-minded and proud. Later, due to his biological mother's affairs and the years of suffering from genetic collapse syndrome, his character became even more cold and indifferent. Such a person, who looked at the common people with indifference, but just happened to... fall in love with the woman named Mu Jiao.
Xikai E Peizhen couldn't help but think of the imperial concubine who went mad for love and died for love... His Highness, would be like his mother...
"Where is the person? Has he been brought back?" Huo Qi looked at Ze Shiyi and asked, barely suppressing his inner anxiety and joy.
"I came here to report the news the moment it reached me. Jue Tu must have already taken action after reporting the news. By the way, Your Highness, this is the image of Miss Mu Jiao that was sent back."
Ze Shiyi was so excited that he forgot to hand the images in his hand to his master. Only then did he realize his mistake. Fortunately, his master was in a good mood and took them without any objection.
It was her. Although the image only showed one side, Huo Qi knew it at a glance—it was her! Looking at the picture, Huo Qi's depression over the past few days finally eased a little. He wanted to see his girl right away. Huo Qi said to Ze Shiyi:
"Go ahead and tell the person who received it to return immediately without losing any time on the way. Right here."
"Yes, Master."
Ze Shiyi immediately activated his dedicated communication device and connected with the disciple. In the swamp, optical computers were almost useless, so they had to use special means to communicate.
But this time, with so many eyes staring at him and his master also watching him, the high-end communicator that had never made any mistakes was not working at all. After he answered the call, no sound came for most of the time, and all he could hear was the hesitant and crackling sound.
As time went by, seeing his master's expression getting worse and worse, Ze Shiyi broke out in a cold sweat...
"Locate that Juetu. I'll go there myself." Huo Qi's face was gloomy. He would never let Jiaojiao out of his sight this time.
…
As for Mu Jiao, although she lost two rations, she now has a bigger one, and her cute pet suddenly turned into a "Kung Fu Bear" with the ability to breathe fire. Before Mu Jiao could fully react to the two surprises, she was shocked by a loud noise. Then she reacted and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a sudden mecha battle on the top of a small hill not far from them.
The exact identities of the two sides were still unknown, but the mechas' artillery fire, their special abilities, and the light produced by their collisions illuminated the small patch of dark night sky, making a considerable noise. The battle was intense.
Mu Jiao tightened her grip on Mengmeng, who had already jumped into her arms. Due to her growth, the little one could no longer sit on her shoulders. Fortunately, she could still hold him within her arms, but when he grew a little bigger, she wouldn't be able to hold him anymore...
"Aping, are they here to arrest us?" Mu Jiao was a little worried.
"That shouldn't be the case. If they were here to capture us, why would they start a fight? I've heard that during the severe cold season on this planet, mission personnel go out. Perhaps they had an argument." Ah Ping looked at the top of the mountain with a worried look on his face, and then said:
"But they're not far from us, so they might spot us. Plus, they're making a lot of noise. I'm afraid other people might come over, and if they run into us, we'll be in a very vulnerable position."
