Chapter 36 Chapter 36

"Who is the one who plotted against me? When I return to Xijin, I will tear their heads off!" Hector's teeth were grinding.

"According to the information I received, someone on the Sijialan Star wants to kill you." Rong Heng looked at him and asked, "What secrets of the Sijialan Star have you learned?"

"What secrets could those mermaids have for me to know—" he said.

Hector paused as he spoke, as if he remembered something, and swore, "Damn it, I told you that these fishy people had bad intentions!"

"It seems that you do know some secrets of the planet Sijialan." Rong Heng raised his eyebrows.

Hector frowned and pondered for a while, but in the end he didn't explain, only saying: "That happened more than a hundred years ago, and I don't want to bring it up again. It wasn't a big deal in the first place, it was just that those guys were petty and guilty."

He snorted loudly and rubbed his face again.

"After I get back to Xijin and finish my business, I'll go to Sijialan Star to settle accounts with Gangzi Aquaculture."

"Do you think you can go back?" Rong Heng was extremely surprised, thinking that the dragon clan was really brainless. He had made his words so clear, but this stupid dragon actually wanted to go back to Xijin.

He tapped the control panel and said, "Although this transport ship is civilian grade, it belongs to Schwarzschild Transport. Where do you think you were imprisoned before? Why can it go to the planet Sjarlan without any hindrance?"

Hector choked.

After Rong Heng said this, he finally understood.

It seems that not only Rong Heng cannot go back to Xijin, but he himself can't go back anytime soon.

Cursing and turning around, Hector asked, "Where are you going?"

"It has not been confirmed yet." Rong Heng said: "We need to find a suitable place to store the weapons on the transport ship."

????

Hector played dumb: "Weapons? Where are the weapons on this ship?"

Noah, who had been silent the whole time, answered him, "In the warehouses from the first floor below to the second floor above ground, there are all the latest laser guns."

Hector: ...

Grass!

Still not hidden.

Dares looked at him with a sidelong glance, deliberately smiling and provoking him: "Sikalan Star is indeed rich."

Hector glared at him and banged the control panel with a hammer. He was so helpless and furious that he could only vent his anger on the control panel.

"No need to knock. This transport ship will be scrapped soon. Let's move to the other side." Rong Heng gave Noah an order: "Docking."

Hector looked at the battleship and the transport ship that were beginning to dock, and only then did he realize what Rong Heng said: "Are you really here to save me?"

Noah controlled the robots on the transport ship to quickly transfer the weapons in the cargo hold. Rong Heng leaned against the docking channel and raised his eyebrows, saying, "I saved your life, so you already owe me a favor. Now that you want to board my battleship, that's another matter."

????

What the fuck?

"None of the profiteers in the Galactic Empire know how to do business as well as you do." Hector gritted his teeth.

Rong Heng accepted the compliment with a smile: "Thank you for the compliment. I never do business at a loss."

"Anyway, my bank account has been closed. I don't have any money, but I do have my life." Hector glared at him unhappily, brushed past his shoulder and stepped into the connecting passage.

The three of them moved to the main battleship. After all the weapons in the warehouse were moved, Noah reported again: "We captured two people on the second floor. Judging from their clothes, they should be the captain and the deputy captain. Should we take them on board?"

Rong Heng looked at Hector.

Hector said without even turning his head: "It's up to you. I don't have anything to ask. Just knowing who the enemy is is enough. I'm not interested in the twists and turns in the middle."

"Then throw it on the ship." Rong Heng gave the order: "Start the self-destruction program."

Noah accepted the order, finished the work step by step, and activated the self-destruction procedure of the transport ship.

In the dark space, no sound can be transmitted.

Looking through the porthole, all you could see was the huge transport ship exploding one after another in the darkness, catching fire.

Soon, all that will be left here will be a wreck.

The battleship they were on was moving away quickly.

"Your Highness, where are we going next? Directly back to Yanjis?" Dares searched for the coordinates on the star map.

"No hurry." After intercepting this batch of weapons, Rong Heng had a new idea: "Noah, are there any planets suitable for landing near B3024?"

After searching for a while, Noah said, "There is an abandoned garbage planet."

This junk star is less than 200 light-years away from B3024. Because it encountered extremely cold and severe climate in its early years, even artificial satellites could not improve it, so the energy center simply abandoned this junk star.

It is now covered by a thick layer of ice, and the extremely cold climate makes it impossible for any living creature to survive on it.

"Then go here."

Rong Heng glanced at Hector and said, "Under the current situation, it is not suitable for me to return to Yanjis. I will find another temporary place to stay."

????

Hector was puzzled. Why were you telling me this?

Do you want to share my pain and cry with me?

"This batch of intercepted weapons will not be sent to Yangis, but will be stored at the place where they are located. But now... I lack a trustworthy person to guard them for me."

"Isn't this a ready-made candidate?" Hector pointed at Dares and started to play dumb.

Rong Heng didn't respond, but stared at him and said, "You owe me two favors."

Damn!!!

Hector said angrily: "I'll watch you! Okay?!"

Rong Heng was immediately satisfied. He asked Dares to locate the coordinates of the abandoned garbage planet and rushed towards the garbage planet at full speed.

It took five days for the three to reach the abandoned garbage planet.

This nameless planet is covered with frost and snow. From a distance, it looks like pure white.

After handing over the control of the battleship to Hector, Rong Heng said, "I'll leave this to you. I have something to do and I have to leave for a while."

Hector was dissatisfied: "Where are you going to leave me?"

"Planet B3024." Rong Heng answered briefly and took Dares to the hangar.

Hector stared at his back and cursed inwardly, but finally sat in the driver's seat reluctantly.

He sat paralyzed in the driver's seat with no image at all, took out the smart computer that Rong Heng had thrown to him, skillfully entered a string of familiar communication codes, hesitated for a while, and then deleted them one by one.

"I think you should have received all my inheritance, right?" Hector muttered to himself while staring at the blank interface. After a while, he gave up and closed the communication interface: "Forget it, you probably won't feel sad for me."

Maybe she won't even attend his funeral.

Rong Heng and Dares drove the "Glory" and left the battleship hangar.

Dares wondered, "Why don't we just drive the battleship to B3024?"

After dialing Mori's number, Rong Heng took the time to glance at him: "Nameless Star is close to B3024 Star, which can be used as a transit station between Yanjis and B3024 Star. But the climate of that planet is extremely cold, and only the thick-skinned dragons are not afraid of freezing, so it's a good opportunity for Hector to explore the way."

Besides this, there is another reason: Hector is a dragon.

Ruan Shiqing has a little dragon cub at home, and he doesn't know whether taking Hector to B3024 will cause trouble for Ruan Shiqing.

The boy was already very sad after he left. Rong Heng couldn't imagine how sad he would be if he lost another dragon cub.

It is better to cut off this possibility at the source.

Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not let his subordinates know about this little thoughtfulness.

He knows it himself, and that's enough.

While his thoughts were flowing, Mori's communication was connected.

After asking about the production of the blaster, Rong Heng casually asked about Ruan Shiqing's recent situation.

Mori said carefully, "Ever since you..." He hastily changed his words, "Oh no, it was since Snowball got lost that Mr. Ruan was very sad. He searched for Snowball for a long time."

Mo Li was in great turmoil after accidentally exposing the fact that the Crown Prince was pretending to be a puppy and deceiving others.

"But recently Mr. Ruan seems to have accepted the fact that Snowball is missing and has stopped looking for him. He has devoted all his energy to weapon design and taking care of the three cubs." He swallowed nervously and swallowed back the second half of the sentence, "Don't worry, he won't recognize you."

He should not worry about such things.

Knowing too much can easily lead to silence.

Rong Heng said "hmm" lightly, informed the time of his arrival, and then cut off the communication.

He glanced sideways out the porthole.

The speed of "Glory" is too fast. Looking from here, there is only eternal darkness and nothing can be seen.

But he still stared in fascination.

Have you accepted it so quickly?

Rong Heng should have felt relieved about this, but for some reason, he felt a little lost instead.

It was really a very insignificant emotion, but it remained stubbornly in his heart.

After passing through the atmosphere of B3024, "Glory" did not land deep in the garbage dump this time, but landed openly at Fita Manor.

It was already five in the morning when we arrived. The symmetrical moon was sinking in the sky and was about to set.

Rong Heng, wearing a neat white military uniform and shiny long boots, stepped on the ground and looked at the familiar environment with an unclear gaze.

B3024 appears to be much the same as it left.

Ruan Shiqing was woken up by the beeping sound of the smart computer.

He opened his eyes dazedly, fumbled to take the smart computer, and when he saw the message pushed on it, he woke up instantly.

Ruan Shiqing put on his coat and stood up, then tiptoed out of the bedroom.

In the living room, the little mermaid sank to the bottom of the water, the little dragon cub and Nota huddled together on the soft cushion, and all three cubs were sleeping soundly.

After covering the two kids with the blanket that had been kicked aside, Ruan Shiqing went downstairs slowly.

He woke up 09 and went to the workshop.

"09, access the anti-detection system of B3024."

As the designer of the anti-detection system, Ruan Shiqing naturally left himself some permissions. As long as he accessed the system through 09, he could view the data in it quietly.

09 quickly found the video archive of the time when the alarm was raised: "At 5:01 a.m., a shuttle with a cloaking device activated passed through the atmosphere of planet B3024."

"Could it be him?" Ruan Shiqing murmured in a low voice.

Thinking of something, he turned on the positioning system in the Blue Star Necklace. On the coordinate map, three blue flashing dots almost overlapped each other, with only another dot in the distance, shining alone.

"It's Snowball! The positioning device has a signal!"

Ruan Shiqing stood up suddenly, his heart was in turmoil, but he forced himself to calm down. He zoomed in on the map and found that the location where the snowball appeared was actually in Fita Manor.

At this moment, Ruan Shiqing thought a lot, but in the end he calmed down.

Instead of taking any rash action, he sat in his workshop, staring at the blue dot until dawn.

That morning, Ruan Shiqing did not send the kids to school, but asked the Xiong brothers to do it.

After the Xiong brothers took the cubs to school, Ruan Shiqing hid the two blasters in his coat and then went to Fita Manor.

The means of transportation is a recently purchased shuttle motorcycle.

He increased the speed of the shuttle motorcycle to the maximum and arrived at Fita Manor in ten minutes.

Through 09, he can monitor the location of the Blue Star Necklace at any time. From last night to now, the location has not changed. Snowball must be in Fita Manor.

The person who took Snowball away... should be there too.

Ruan Shiqing touched the blaster on his waist and walked in calmly. He was a frequent visitor to Fita Manor. Everyone in the manor knew that the boss valued him very much. He usually came to discuss matters without notifying the boss in advance.

So this time, Ruan Shiqing went straight to the living room as usual.

But this time, there were other guests sitting in the living room.

His eyes fell on the familiar white military uniform and long silver hair. Ruan Shiqing's eyes darkened. He walked in calmly and smiled at Ma Lin: "It seems that I came at an unfortunate time. You have guests here so early."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at the guest. When he saw the other person's face clearly, he was slightly stunned: "It's you?"

The reunion came too unexpectedly.

Rong Heng didn't know what expression to make for a moment, so he could only look at him with a stern face.

After staring at each other for a moment, Ruan Shiqing looked away as if nothing had happened and joked with Ma Lin: "You actually have friends in the military. How come I didn't know this before? If I had known this, I would not have cooperated with you. I would have cooperated with the military instead."

"..." Mo Li's scalp tingled slightly, and he felt that Ruan Shiqing was gritting his teeth when he said the word "friend".

This seems like a life-threatening question.

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Mo Li gritted his teeth. This cash cow must not be offended. Otherwise, it would be better to die as a fellow Taoist than as a poor Taoist!

He immediately made a surprised expression and waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "You misunderstood. This is also the first time I meet Mr. Rong." He showed his acting skills and lowered his voice, saying, "You also know that for those who do arms business, it is best to have connections with the military."

Ruan Shiqing narrowed his eyes and looked at him with a scrutinizing look.

"Really?"

He did not comment on what Marin said.

It is true that Marin's attitude towards him during this period was quite good, but he would rather attribute it to his own value. He did not forget the bloody scene when Marin killed Hornik.

"Since you are not familiar with him, it will be easy." Ruan Shiqing suddenly pulled out a blaster from his waist and pointed the gun at Rong Heng: "He and I have some personal grudges to settle." He glanced at Marin with his eyes: "If I accidentally kill someone, will you help me?"

Morrie: ...

Holy shit, these are two damn questions!

His eyes moved between the two of them, and he smiled stiffly, "This... that... if there is any grudge, we can sit down and talk it out slowly. Don't just shoot casually..."

As he spoke, he tried to reach out to press the gun in Ruan Shiqing's hand, but 09's movements were faster than his. His hands instantly changed shape, and two blaster barrels were pointed at his head. His tone was still polite: "My husband is dealing with important matters. You'd better go to the side and have a rest and have a cup of tea."

Mori froze in his tracks, raised his hands in fear and stepped aside: "I'll drink tea, I'll drink tea."

Could you please move that black muzzle of your gun and not aim it at friendly forces?

I'm a good person!

After dealing with Ma Lin, Ruan Shiqing approached Rong Heng, with the muzzle of his gun almost touching his forehead. He said coldly, "Hand over Snowball."

Rong Heng's eyes flickered, and Noah's initial guess of taking pleasure in misfortune emerged in his mind.

She was right. The boy actually thought he was a dog thief.

"What snowball? Did you misunderstand something?"

Snowball decided to play dumb and refused to admit it.

Ruan Shiqing didn't buy it at all. He pressed the trigger lightly and said coldly, "Snowball's Blue Star Necklace is on you. I installed a positioning device in the necklace. Didn't you notice it?"

The muzzle of the gun was against Rong Heng's forehead. He said impatiently, "Where is Snowball? If you don't tell me, I don't mind killing you first and then looking for you in your shuttle."

Even the shuttle knew about it?

The corner of Rong Heng's eye twitched, and he glared at Mo Li implicitly, hesitating about what to say.

I can't just say, "Actually I am Snowball. Although I can't be your pet anymore, we can be friends."

This is fucking stupid.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a gloomy face and was in a dilemma.

Ruan Shiqing was already impatient, and he put the muzzle of his gun against the other man's forehead, forcing him to look up at him: "My patience is running out, I'll give you three more seconds--"

"Snowball is my younger brother." Before he could finish his harsh words, Rong Heng had already made up an excuse.

Ruan Shiqing paused and looked at him with a frown: "What do you mean?"

"He is my brother." Rong Heng repeated it again and began to tell the story he made up: "When I fell into B3024 and met you, I was actually taking him out to visit relatives. As a result, we were ambushed and he was seriously injured. My situation was not optimistic either. I had no choice but to hide him in the sealed capsule and planned to return to pick him up after I contacted someone. But I didn't expect that he would be brought back by you by accident."

"Speaking of taking him away, I should have told you, but the situation was urgent at the time... I'm sorry." Rong Heng fully demonstrated his superb acting skills.

This time it was Ruan Shiqing who was a little confused: "So Snowball is actually... not an ordinary puppy? Is he a Bis?"

Rong Heng acquiesced.

This explains the occasional cleverness and humanity that Snowball displays.

But Ruan Shiqing didn't believe him immediately: "But he can't speak."

Biss can also speak when they are young.

That's because Jumir has a special body and his vocal organs are not fully developed when he is a cub, so he can't speak the complex interstellar language.

But Rong Heng certainly couldn't reveal his identity, so he could only continue to make up: "He is a little special."

Sometimes you don’t need to finish what you are saying; leaving blank space is enough for people to fill in the blanks.

Ruan Shiqing's expression eased, but he did not retract his gun immediately: "Why is Snowball's blue star necklace with you? Where is he now? I have to confirm with my own eyes that he is okay before I can believe what you say."

Rong Heng: ...

"Okay." He uttered the two words with difficulty.

Mori gave a thumbs up in his heart when he heard this.

As expected of you, Your Highness.

"I have some important matters to attend to. I will have my subordinates bring him to you later."

The other party's attitude had always been very good, so Ruan Shiqing could not be aggressive anymore. He put away his gun, sat down on the sofa on the other side with 09, and said, "Then I'll wait here."

Rong Heng nodded at him and glared at Mo Li who was drinking water from the teacup.

He is more likely to fail than to accomplish anything.

Morrie:? This is also my fault.

At this moment, Dareth, who had just returned from the warehouse with satisfaction after seeing the blaster, walked to the door of the living room.

Sensing the strange atmosphere in the hall, and looking at the strange boy and robot he had never seen before, he wondered, "What are they doing? When are we going to see Master Ruan?"

Everyone in the room turned to look at him at once.

?????

What are you looking at me for? Did I say something wrong?

Dareth involuntarily took a step back.

Fearing that he would say something inappropriate, Rong Heng stood up and said to Ruan Shiqing, "This is my subordinate. We came to B3024 planet at the invitation of Marin to inspect the production line. We also heard about Master Ruan's deeds from Marin, so we have always wanted to meet you, but we didn't expect to have such a fate."

After saying that, he extended his hand to Ruan Shiqing: "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future."

Ruan Shiqing shook hands with him.

After nodding at him, Rong Heng turned and left.

Dares stuck his head to look inside and was about to ask "Is that Master Ruan? He's too young", but was elbowed by Rong Heng and was forced to leave with a grimace.

Today is also a day that I failed to meet Master Ruan.

Fortunately, Dares soon no longer regretted this.

He listened to the highness's narration in amazement. He turned around and tried to cover his mouth, but he couldn't stop the pig-like squealing sound.

Rong Heng looked at him expressionlessly and unbuttoned his collar: "Have you laughed enough?"

Hahahaha hoo hoo

To be honest, no.

This is so fucking funny hahahahahahahaha

Darius's shoulders were shaking from trying to hold back his laughter. It was not until he felt the air pressure behind him getting lower and lower that he had to hold back his laughter and force a serious expression.

"alright."

Rong Heng then changed back into his cub form and squatted on the sofa.

The blue star necklace was hanging around his neck.

Dareth wanted to laugh again, but he didn't dare.

So they could only stretch out their hands and carefully hold their tall and mighty prince in their palms.

I never thought that Jumir would be so cute when he was a cub.

If I go back to Yanjis and tell Meler and the others about this, no one will believe me.

Dares's rich inner thoughts were fully revealed on his face. Rong Heng gritted his teeth and wanted to scold him.

But as soon as I opened my mouth, I heard the puppy's howling, so I had to shut my mouth tightly.

Colonel Darres had no idea that he had escaped death by sheer luck.

He held the puppy stiffly and went to the living room.

Ruan Shiqing saw Snowball in his arms from a distance and couldn't help but stand up and walk towards him.

"This is our... young master." Dares almost cried out "Your Highness".

The snow-white, fluffy little cub looked at him with wet eyes.

Ruan Shiqing felt a pang in his heart and took him from Dares' arms, gently stroking him from the top of his head to the tip of his tail.

Rong Heng couldn't help but shake his ears.

He glanced at Mori and Dares with murderous intent.

"What was his original name?" Ruan Shiqing asked.

Ah this...

His original name was Rong Heng, and he was the Crown Prince of the Empire.

But he couldn't say that. Dares secretly scratched his head and finally said in a hurry: "His name is Rong Xing, yes, Rong Xing."

Your Highness who has kept his real name hidden, without the "king", all that is left is the "traveling".

Dares felt that the name he came up with in a critical moment was quite clever.

"So your name is Rong Xing." Ruan Shiqing pinched his ear.

Rong Heng gritted his teeth and lay listlessly in his arms.

If you are in a bad mood, don’t come near me.
