Sneaking into the Imperial City again
In the room, a short, dark-skinned young man was pressed on the bed with a red face. A muscular man was stacked on top of him, applying medicine to the dark-skinned young man's indescribable parts in an indescribable posture.
"Well—" Haydn stiffened, "Are you okay?"
"Alright." Gary's eyes lingered on a certain part of his body, and he playfully slapped Haydn's butt with a crisp sound. Haydn gritted his teeth and escaped from his grasp, glaring, "Even if you apply medicine to me, I won't change my mind about going to Snow Star!"
The air was still, and Gary's expression fell silent. Haydn stared at Gary, refusing to give in. "I know you're worried about me getting into danger, but just like I was determined to go to the battlefield before, you can't stop me."
Gary still didn't say anything. He stared at Haydn's stubborn expression for a long time. Finally, a sigh echoed in the room. "As you say."
Haydn was right, he was too cowardly to even face his former homeland. But fallen leaves always return to their roots.
Half a month later.
"Your Majesty! A secret message has been sent from the embassy in Qiu En!"
Qiu En Emperor Star?
Frey's heart trembled. He had instructed the head of the embassy on the Qiu En Emperor Star to pay close attention to the movements of Queen Qiu En. Could it be that Queen Qiu En was taking action again?
The communications officer on the other end of the video decrypted the message and transmitted it to Frey's personal terminal. It began with the embassy chief's personal address: "Your Majesty, the embassy has received an anonymous message. Initially, the staff dismissed it as a prank, but after reviewing it, I feel it is necessary to report it to you. The following is the content of the message."
[I'm #% and I have evidence of @# collaborating with the * tribe. Have *@ come here in person. I'll give him the evidence. Come quickly!]
The parts involving names were all coded in a peculiar way. After cracking it, the communication personnel marked out the four keywords "Blue Star", "Qiu En", "Zerg" and "Yu Sheng".
Frey's expression became more and more solemn. At the end, he turned off the communicator, thought for a while, stood up, and dialed Yu Sheng's number while walking out.
"Hey, Ah Xiao? What's up?" Yu Sheng's voice was filled with joy. Over the past few days, as their bodies recovered, Yu Sheng had begun training Yu Guang. He was currently teaching his son fighting techniques. "Let me tell you, our son is amazing! He's worthy of following me! He learns quickly!"
Yu Guang's voice could be heard nearby, jumping up and down as he grabbed the terminal to speak. "Father! I'm Xiao Guang! Father, will you come and watch me box?"
The tension he had just felt was somewhat dispelled by the father and son. Frey couldn't help but laugh and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, I'll be right there. You guys wait for me in the training room."
"Wait for you."
When Frey pushed open the door of the training room, the father and son were practicing. Yu Sheng followed Yu Guang's moves while pointing out the irregularities in his movements. The two of them formed an exceptionally harmonious picture.
"Come on, come on, try to practice with your son." Yu Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It's true that taking care of a child is more tiring than leading an army!
Frey originally wanted to call Yu Sheng out to discuss something, but seeing Yu Guang's expectant eyes, he swallowed his words and walked over to pick up Yu Guang. While holding him high, he said, "Show your father what you learned today."
The father and son fought in a very professional manner. Yu Sheng wiped the sweat from his head and watched the scene with a smile.
I never thought that I would accidentally come to this strange galaxy and one day I would start my own family and have a lover and children.
"Your Highness, it's time to eat!" Anna called out from outside the training room. "Don't go hungry! If you go hungry, you won't grow taller!"
"I know, Aunt Anna!" Yu Guang stopped and was pulled over by Yu Sheng to drink some warm water. Then he said solemnly, "Father, Dad, I'm going to eat!" When he was recuperating, Yu Sheng simply corrected his way of addressing her, otherwise it would be too weird to call her "Mom, Mom" all day long.
"Go." Frey nodded. It was just right that Yu Guang left, so he could talk to Yu Sheng about the matter of Qiu En Emperor Star.
"What's wrong?" After Yu Guang followed Anna away, Yu Sheng took the initiative to ask.
"Take a look at this." Frey opened his personal terminal and showed the message to Yu Sheng. Gradually, Yu Sheng's expression changed from relaxed to solemn.
"Could it be Weiner?" Yu Sheng frowned. "It's not that I doubt it, but when I rescued Weiner before, he acted...very passive. How could he help us steal the evidence of Queen Qiu En?"
Frey narrowed his eyes. "If this is Queen Qiuen's conspiracy, it's too dangerous. I'm inclined to send a special forces team..."
"No." Yu Sheng interrupted Frey and said, "I will go myself. You send someone to meet me."
“…” Frey did not refute immediately, but looked at Yu Sheng with deep eyes, hoping that he would give sufficient reasons.
"If this isn't a conspiracy, and it really was Weiner's message, then a special forces team going to make the contact would only scare this guy, who's so timidly poking his head out, back off," Yu Sheng said. "You haven't interacted with Weiner, so you don't understand... how uneasy and fearful he is. I don't know what inspired him to take this step, but I'm happy and willing to take the risk."
"You also said 'if,'" Frey pursed his lips. "At this point, there's over an 80% chance this is Queen Quen's conspiracy. I don't believe a cowardly person would change, nor do I believe he would have the opportunity to send us communications without telling someone as suspicious as Queen Quen, or even steal evidence of the Zerg-Quen collaboration."
Yu Sheng was silent for a moment, then said, "I admit you're right, but..." He thought for a moment, "Do you understand the feeling of a drowning person trying to grab a piece of driftwood? Weiner is already drowning. If no one pulls him up and just throws him a straw, he'll be truly ruined."
"What's more, Queen Qiu En is still instigating the United Interstellar to mobilize the entire army to encircle and suppress the Insect Star. This matter is imminent. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will not let it go."
Three days later, at the military base in the royal city, Yu Sheng, fully armed, stood next to the one-person airship and waved to everyone.
Xi Ze walked forward, hung a small red dragon around Yu Sheng's neck, and said coldly, "I finally fixed it for you and even upgraded it. If you break it again, I'll beat you to death, don't you believe it?"
The autumn scenery was bleak, and red fallen leaves covered the entire military base. A single-person airship took off from here, swept up a cloud of fallen leaves, and sped towards the Qiu En Emperor Star.
"What do you want to say, Your Majesty?" Yu Sheng, who was pulled back by Frey before leaving, smiled.
"Be careful." His Majesty Frey, who exuded the air of a veteran cadre, pursed his lips and said.
"Don't worry." Yu Sheng took the initiative to stand on tiptoe and kissed Frey on the lips, curling the corners of his lips, "I promise to give you a complete husband."
After saying that, Yu Sheng boarded the spaceship amid the sighs and jokes of a group of friends.
[We have arrived at Qiu En Imperial City. All is well.] Yu Sheng's message arrives every two hours. Wen Xing has someone dedicated to maintaining direct contact with Yu Sheng. As soon as Yu Sheng is ready to enter the city, the special team responsible for meeting him will set out and wait outside the gates of Qiu En Imperial City.
After Yu Sheng sent the message, he found the Wenxing Embassy according to the address. The director personally received Yu Sheng, his face flushed with excitement, "Your Majesty! Welcome!"
Yu Sheng laughed, "Thank you, but I'm just a soldier on a mission now. You don't have to treat me specially."
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty!" The curator led Yu Sheng inside enthusiastically, "Your terminal is ready. I sent someone to check the recruitment notice on the city gate. Those who can start work as soon as possible without attracting attention may be the workers for the construction of the palace." To put it bluntly, it means moving bricks.
After saying that, the director subconsciously glanced at Yu Sheng. After all, in his mind, Yu Sheng was the noble queen. Asking the queen to move bricks...
"Okay, thank you for your help. You've done a great job." Yu Sheng received the terminal belonging to the Qiu En Emperor Star. It contained his identity verification, which belonged to a young man named Ted. The curator had someone disguise Yu Sheng as Ted and said, "Please be very careful. If this is Queen Qiu En's plot against you, we will do everything in our power to rescue you!"
"Thank you." Yu Sheng shook hands with the director solemnly and left the embassy through the secret passage.
——Inside the Imperial City——
"Alas, it's becoming increasingly difficult to recruit brick movers. After such a long time, only a dozen have shown up. Our superiors want us to recruit fifty more, but where are we going to recruit them?" A man in the palace's work clothes looked impatient.
The other person nodded and said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. Almost all the heavy work in the galaxy now relies on machines, but the Queen demands that the palace must be built by hand. Of course, no one is willing to move bricks." Ever since the social news that civil engineering equipment was modified with heavy weapon parts, causing serious consequences, Queen Qiu En has demanded that manual labor combined with small equipment must be used in the imperial city.
"Hey, big brother," a young man with ordinary clothes and ordinary appearance came over at this time, scratching his head and asking, "Are you hiring here?"
The staff's eyes lit up, "Beat it, beat it!"
"But I don't have any education, and I don't have any advanced knowledge..."
"As long as you have the strength!" Before Yu Sheng could finish his words, the man impatiently stuffed a pass into his arms and pushed him into the city gate. "Gather on the right!"
Yu Sheng was speechless. How desperate were they for bricklayers that they pushed him in without even verifying his identity?
[Successfully entered the Qiuen Imperial City, waiting for the opportunity to sneak into the palace.]
"Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Queen has entered the palace." The communicator reported factually.
"Okay, keep in touch." Frey responded and lowered his head to continue processing the documents on the table, but for some reason, he would be distracted after reading a few lines.
He frowned, and finally spoke, "Contact the military base and send an additional special forces team to Qiu Enhuang Star."
"yes!"
——West corner of the Imperial Palace, construction site——
"Do you understand?" the foreman looked down at the group of cheaply dressed bricklayers. "Work faster and I'll give you more wages. If you cheat..."
Everyone nodded in agreement. The foreman was about to turn and leave when he suddenly remembered something and warned, "The people in this palace are not something you commoners can offend casually. Apart from your work area, you are not allowed to wander around in other areas!"
Everyone agreed in a meek manner. As soon as the foreman left, everyone became lazy, chatting and laughing while moving bricks. However, they did not dare to make any noise for fear of disturbing the nobles in the palace.
"Hey, big brother!" Yu Sheng patted the shoulder of the worker next to him and mysteriously pulled out a handful of interstellar coins from his pocket. "Well, I was pretending to be a big shot to my girlfriend, saying I was going to the palace for a trip, but I couldn't let her know I was just moving bricks, so I wanted to secretly take a photo somewhere else. If the foreman comes to check, you can just say I had a stomachache, okay?"
That person was desperately in need of money, otherwise he wouldn't have worked as a laborer in the palace. Seeing the interstellar coins in Yu Sheng's hand, his eyes almost popped out of his head, but he was also afraid that Yu Sheng would cause trouble. "Don't let the noble catch you, if you do..."
"Don't worry, big brother. Even if I get caught, it will definitely have nothing to do with you." Yu Sheng was very sensible.
The man felt relieved, took the interstellar currency, and said cheerfully, "Go ahead."
Yu Sheng quietly left the construction site while the other workers were not paying attention to him.
——In the bedroom——
Weiner lay on the cushion, tossing and turning, his thoughts churning.
A long time had passed since he sent the message to the Wenxing Embassy. During this time, he waited anxiously for Yu Sheng to come, but each time he welcomed a new day with disappointment. And today, Queen Qiu En finally went to inspect Nariye's experimental base.
The evidence Weiner possessed of Queen Quen's collaboration with the Zerg came from the original manuscript he had stolen from the Nariye Experimental Base, which showed the Zerg consuming Blue Beast flesh, along with the Zerg introduction records signed by the Queen herself. Of course, the Queen risked her own signature because the intelligent Zerg required it as an insurance policy to prevent Queen Quen from betraying the contract. If Quen tampered with the documents, the intelligent Zerg would expose their collaboration with her to StarCraft.
These evidences were stolen by Weiner and not discovered for so many days only because only Queen Qiu En was qualified to read them.
Qiu En hadn't been to the Nariye base for many days. Just today, when Qiu En said she was leaving for the experimental base, Weiner rubbed against Qiu En and said goodbye to her master, but in fact he was already in despair.
If she's unlucky, Queen Qiu En will discover today that her contract has been stolen and will trace it back to her...
Weiner shrank back on the cushions, a self-deprecating smile playing on his lips. Death didn't really matter; he was already a living dead. But he still clung to a small hope: he still hoped to see that heroic young man again, to be of some value...
“Pah.”
The door of the room was opened.
A man sneaked in silently.
