The leader of the group that came to capture Ning Hongze this time, the one in blue, is named Ling Du, and he is one of the Crown Prince's men.
Ling Du had long heard of Ning Hongze's reputation as a renowned war god on the Imperial Star, but he never imagined he would be this powerful. For His Highness the Crown Prince to be an enemy of such a formidable figure, one who had even rendered him defenseless…
“You—” Ning Hong raised her longsword and pointed it at them, “I’ll give you two choices. First, surrender and become my servants. Second, get into the escape pod and leave this spaceship.”
"Do you really intend to become an enemy of the Crown Prince?"
“It’s not a question of whether we are enemies or not, but that we are already enemies.” Ning Hong sneered. “His Highness the Crown Prince attacked me for no reason, so he must have been prepared to be my enemy. I can’t let His Highness’s preparations go to waste, of course, it’s impossible for me to surrender without a fight.”
"You'd better stop dawdling. I've spared your lives, after all." Although your limbs are broken, in the medical sense of interstellar space, it's just a minor surgery.
As for leaving the spaceship, there's still the space capsule there.
The spaceship has been equipped with many escape pods, so they shouldn't encounter too much danger.
Just like him, he was already so badly injured, yet he still managed to survive.
"So, what's your choice?"
"If you choose to surrender, betrayal is absolutely not allowed." He has already given them one chance, so there will never be a second. "What's so good about following Xiao Lei? I've made so many contributions to the Imperial Star Federation, but look at what happened to me in the end."
At this point, Lingdu's body stiffened.
He knew better than anyone whether Ning Hong had committed treason. Unfortunately, his achievements were too great, and neither the Crown Prince nor His Majesty the Emperor could tolerate him.
"Lingdu, have you thought this through?" Lingdu was a loyal man, but unfortunately, he didn't have a good ending.
He offended Kana and was abandoned by Xiao Lei when he was seriously ill. In the end, he died at the hands of his own people.
"I will not be a traitor."
Lingdu stiffened for a moment and turned his head away.
"This is not treason, this is purging the court of corrupt officials."
"What?"
Have you read about the ancient history of Earth?
"Why should I look at the ancient history of a low-level planet?" As a citizen of the Imperial Star, Ling Du possessed an innate pride.
“It doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen it, I can tell you.” Ning Hong’s eyes were burning. “What does ‘cleansing the emperor’s inner circle’ mean?”
Stunned by Ning Hongze's gaze, Ling Du lowered his head slightly.
He thought he was persuaded.
His mission has been a complete failure. Even if he returns to the Crown Prince's side, the Crown Prince may not be willing to believe him.
She might even suspect him of having a relationship with Ning Hongze, and would be wary of him at all times.
"His Majesty the Emperor is a good man, but he is a bit too suspicious."
Ning Hongze's meaning was very clear: the bad guy was the Crown Prince who was instigating it; as long as His Majesty the Emperor was still alive, it didn't count as treason.
Of course, if His Majesty the Emperor Xiaomo is unwilling to cooperate, there are many more royal families on the Imperial Star.
"Then what can we do?"
Lingdu put down the sword in his hand.
"There are many more things we can do. Starting today, this spaceship will no longer be a warship; it will be renamed."
"Um?"
"Let's call it Bandit."
Lingdu: "..."
General Ning, are you hoping they'll attack us?
"Lingdu".
Ning Hong suddenly gave Ling Du a long, meaningful look.
"how?"
"You'll be in charge of cleaning the spaceship for the next couple of days."
"What?"
Why use a robot to do cleaning when there's one available?
"hehe."
Ning Hong smiled calmly at him, "You can think about why?" His gaze fell on the long sword hanging at Ling Du's waist.
"Ah, it's because of this longsword. I'll return it to you..."
Wait, what did he say before?
He said the Crown Prince wanted to bestow Ning Su upon him.
Ning Su bestowed it upon him?
Ning Su?
"Okay, I'll go right away, I promise I'll clean it spotless..."
Just then, the garbage collection ship appeared in front of the starship once again.
"Listen up, people on the spaceship! Return General Ning to us immediately, or we will not be polite."
The bearded man's voice came from the garbage recycling ship.
The sound was intermittent.
I guess they used that broken loudspeaker to amplify it.
"Oh dear, this broken horn is no longer working."
"Boss, don't say it, I can hear you, I can hear you."
"Really, just have them return General Ning."
They couldn't defeat the spaceship, but they felt guilty about letting it escape like this, so they returned.
"We have the latest rocket launchers on board. If you don't release the people, we will bomb the spaceship."
"Okay, stop fooling around, I'm fine."
Seeing these people risking their lives to come back and save him, Ning Hong couldn't help but feel moved. These fools, his braised chicken hadn't been wasted.
However, these people had no plan or method for rescuing people.
If he hadn't already taken control of the spaceship, the people on this junkyard would probably have completely disappeared into space.
"It's General Ning. The general is alright."
"The general is amazing. He must have won over the people on that spaceship with his skills as well."
"That's right, the general's braised chicken is the best."
The people at the garbage recycling station immediately cheered.
"General Ning, what is this braised chicken?"
Lingdu asked, holding the broom.
"I'll entrust your land to you..."
Two days later, Lingdu finally got to taste the braised chicken.
It was so delicious that he almost ascended to heaven.
What were those things he ate before?
Is it garbage?
On Earth, Kana is also working hard to meet the Crown Prince.
She originally wanted to meet the Crown Prince through Ning Hongze.
But I don't know what's wrong with it.
Ning Hongze was supposed to land in that place, but now she's nowhere to be seen.
She had no choice but to find another solution.
First, she needed to find a way to get to the Imperial Star to have a chance to meet the Crown Prince. She believed that if the original Kana could win the Crown Prince's heart, she would definitely have a way too.
Kana's body is not very old; she is still in college.
However, the original owner of this body did not like studying, so she skipped classes every few days.
Kana recalled the memories in her mind and came up with an idea.
She remembered that a few days ago, her teacher had discussed with her the idea of going to the Imperial Star Mecha Academy as an exchange student. At that time, she was still hesitant, after all, leaving Blue Star alone always made her feel uneasy.
But now she doesn't need to hesitate anymore; the Crown Prince is waiting for her on Blue Star.
Three days later, Kana packed her bags and boarded the spaceship to the Imperial Star.
