Chapter 746: It turns out that he is not a human
The great sage left.
Gu Hang was still in deep thought.
He didn't agree to Kaur's proposal, but he didn't refuse it either.
What's there to refuse? The first thing they did was to give me a message, believe it or not.
The second thing is simply to sign a trade agreement. At present, it can only be regarded as an intention at most. Even if it is really to be signed, it will require many rounds of negotiations. It involves trade worth tens of billions or hundreds of billions of dollars, and there are too many details to discuss.
It’s not a question of rejection or not. If it’s business, why not do it?
The third thing is even more beyond words.
I give you a high lord, but you don’t want it, right?
Gu Hang found that he really had no room for refusal.
As long as it is accepted, the relationship between the Alliance and the Martian Sect will inevitably become close no matter what.
By then, Mars might be the alliance's largest trading partner, and politically they would strongly support the high lord on Gu Hang. In this case, how could the alliance not come if they had something to do?
It is not justifiable in political tradition.
Of course, it's okay to be shameless. After all, Gu Hang didn't agree to anything.
But he suspected that when the time came, there would always be a reason why he had to go.
The prophecy that the great sage Kaul came to tell revealed some very scary things. If it really comes to that, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself.
…
Things always have to be done step by step.
Let's put aside the things mentioned by the great sage for now. The news that Yasdai was the one who assigned the Assassin's Court the task of assassinating him must be dealt with.
Gu Hang did not believe Kaul immediately.
Maybe the Mechanicus just made up a piece of news to deceive themselves?
Always have to verify.
On the one hand, people from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau kept a close eye on Yu Jinwen.
This person is the representative of Asdai in Holy Terra.
As the chairman of the Cosmic Domain, Yasdai is the high lord, but he can't be in Holy Terra all the time. The affairs of the Cosmic Domain government are the foundation.
It's not just the Chairman of the Universe who serves as the High Lord that's like this, it's also always like this for representatives of the Space Marines.
It is quite common for a high lord to not be able to stay in Holy Terra for a long time due to his duties. Usually, such a high lord will appoint a trusted person to stay here on his behalf.
The High Lord will keep in constant communication with his confidants to ensure that the representative will fully implement his will.
This position is actually quite important.
When the High Lord cannot be contacted for a while, the representative needs to make independent judgments and even cast a crucial vote according to the High Lord's intentions and the fixed routes in the past.
To some extent, this representative could even be considered half a high lord. If he went crazy, he could even use time and information differences to temporarily exercise all the powers of a high lord - as long as he didn't care about the consequences.
Because of this, the representatives chosen by the high lords must be people they trust enough and will definitely not cause trouble.
Yu Jinwen is such a person to Yasdei.
The chairman of the Swallowing Star Universe has been the high lord for twenty-three years. In comparison, he is considered to have served for a relatively long time among the examples of the chairman of the Universe serving as the high lord. And his representative has been Yu Jinwen for the past fifteen years.
If Yasdai wants to do something, it would be right to keep a close eye on Yu Jinwen.
In addition to mobilizing his own forces to track the person, Gu Hang also tried to find the Assassin's Court to confirm the news.
Of course there was no response.
Gu Hang was not annoyed.
He then went to find Gallardo to discuss the matter together.
Gallardo was surprised to hear that it was Asdai who did it.
He raised a very bad idea: Could this be the case when Yasdee received the Prime Minister's instructions?
Everyone knows that the reason why Yasdai could serve as the high lord and hold the position for so many years is because he was helped to reach the position by Qi Bodu.
Since the conflict between Gu Hang and Yasdai himself was not enough to warrant such a drastic measure as assassination, if this matter was true, then it might have been assigned by someone.
The only one who could appoint Yasdai was Qi Bodu.
It's not impossible.
After all, the relationship between Gu Hang and the Prime Minister has only improved recently. When Gu Hang received the warning from the Assassin Court, the Battle of Reyaduches had just ended. At that time, it was not impossible that Prime Minister Qi Bodu had the idea of dealing with him.
However, Gu Hang believes that this possibility is relatively low.
If Qi Boduo really had this idea at the time, then why did he insist on asking Yasde to give the Assassin's Court the task?
It is understandable that he did not go to the Supreme Council. After all, once the matter was discussed in the Council, it would be public. However, Qi Bodu himself had much stronger authority than Yasdai and could order the Assassin's Court to act. If Qi Bodu had given the order personally, then what Gu Hang would have received would not be just a simple letter. He might have really faced an assassination attempt by the Assassin's Court with all its strength.
When the two talked about this, they felt that the situation became more and more difficult.
"I'll go find the Prime Minister," Gallardo said, "and get some information from him."
"Okay." Gu Hang agreed, "But we may not be able to get the information we want. I will put more effort into Yu Jinwen."
"You...you have to be careful."
"Don't worry, I know my limits."
…
Yu Jinwen was tied to a chair, his eyes dazed.
In front of him, several core members of his office fell to the ground.
Gu Hang put his foot on one of them's head with a playful smile.
"So... you are not human."
The man was squirming under Gu Hang's feet. His epidermis seemed to be rubbed vigorously and gradually faded away, revealing the dermis underneath.
Gray-black in color, with long ears.
This is the Dark Eldar.
This was the first time that Gu Hang dealt with the Dark Eldar in person.
He had to admit that these alien creatures with ancient heritage possessed unique and advanced technical levels.
To prevent risks, they did not replace Yu Jinwen himself, but used some means that were similar to psychic power but not psychic power to make his mental state abnormal and controlled, and it was difficult to detect; at the same time, they used disguise technology to replace some core members around Yu Jinwen and monitored them closely.
The Foreign Intelligence Agency kept an eye on the case for a while but didn't find anything. Instead, they lost several of their people.
Gu Hang simply came in person.
He had no secret agent skills, but he didn't need them.
Just follow me, then quietly release your spiritual power and check carefully.
To be honest, at first glance, I didn't find anything particularly abnormal about his spiritual power. Especially on Yu Jinwen, everything was fine.
It was not until Gu Hang got very close to a person who had been replaced by the Dark Eldar that he realized that this was not a human.
