Chapter 126 The reason for meeting Xie Si
The war is imminent.
The Insect Emperor also sent insects to closely monitor the small empty area occupied by Heras day and night, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.
Heras trained his soldiers day and night, but every night he himself was nowhere to be seen.
In short, the training atmosphere was very good and the training was full of energy, like an arrow about to be shot from a bow. During this time, the female soldiers also understood their own purpose through Heras's patient explanation.
Fight for the future of female insects, strive for a less gentle environment for male insects, and fight for the future of the insect race!
This is just so cool!
Those who had previously objected to Heras's rebellious behavior and had doubts in their hearts are now completely convinced.
After all, the empire's attitude towards male and female insects is obvious to all.
The training atmosphere here was in full swing, but a dispute broke out on the other side. They were all military females who were undergoing formal training, but the Insect Emperor looked at his other senior generals...
When they heard about the war, they were more aggressive than anyone else and rushed forward roaring, wanting to achieve success, to get promoted, and to get money!
When they heard that their opponent was Heras, their expressions changed one by one, saying either "the male lord gave birth" or "the male lord broke her leg last night", or they said that all the female soldiers under their command were sick.
There are many reasons, but in short, there is only one word: No!
They didn't want to face Heras.
I don’t know if it’s out of fear or out of awe.
The Insect Emperor must, this is not a solution, if Heras really launches an attack on the palace, then he must be able to send a strong and determined army to counter it.
Only in this way, regardless of victory or defeat, he is resisting. Even if he loses, there will be noble insects willing to support orthodoxy to provide him with military funds and insect manpower to help him make a comeback.
Only with a thorough battle can one save face and have excuses and reasons to explain one's failure.
Otherwise, how could those nobles who change their views according to the situation support him?
The Insect Emperor rolled his eyes for a long time before finally coming up with a plan.
If Heras's reputation is ruined, then... will there still be Chong who supports him unconditionally?
As female insects, what they hate most is betrayal.
The most hateful thing is being betrayed by a bug that you trust.
If they found out that Heras kept saying that he wanted to fight for the interests of female insects and that he wanted to resist, but the female insects under his command actually had dealings with the insects in the palace, would they still be willing to trust him?
If all the bugs found out that Heras's right-hand man Xie Si was having a secret meeting with his male son...
The Insect Emperor blinked and waved his hand to order: "Go and find Eastman."
He was not so cruel as to let Eastman fend for himself. He simply sent the insect to follow him without providing any help. It was enough for him to send back the news that Eastman was still alive every day.
Therefore, this useless chess piece in his hand can be used again.
"But Your Majesty, didn't you order him not to set foot in the palace again in his lifetime?"
The guards reminded him carefully, fearing that the Insect Emperor would be unhappy again after slapping himself in the face.
"You want me to tell you? Go now."
"yes."
The guards found Eastman without any effort, squatting and drinking nutrient solution not far from the Heras military camp.
The guard had drunk this kind of nutritional supplement before, two star coins for one, and the taste was not good. He didn't even feel full after drinking it. It was of no use to female insects. Once he had enough financial resources, he would never drink it again.
Eastman took very bad care of himself, and his previously carefully managed face now had not only dark circles under his eyes, but also dirt that had come from nowhere, making it completely filthy.
He looked around vigilantly, as if he had been bullied sometime.
After drinking the nutrient solution, he stood up, wearing the clothes specially provided for needy male insects by the Male Protection Association.
The design is not very sturdy because these male insects will want to buy new clothes every once in a while.
But the rules say that poor males can only get new clothes when they wear out, unless the male is of a very high rank.
However, high-level male insects don't worry about such trivial matters as clothes, as there are plenty of female insects willing to give them to them.
If the quality is too good and it is not used properly, the male insects will still lose their temper and run to the Xiongbao Association to cause trouble.
But Eastman had obviously been wearing this outfit for a long time.
Not only was it tattered and dirty, it was also very dirty. I guess Eastman had never tried to wash his own clothes, so he used a washing machine.
No, His Royal Highness Prince Eastman probably doesn't even use washing machine bugs. His clothes should be taken care of by female bugs, so he doesn't need to worry about it at all.
Maybe in his eyes, these clothes will clean themselves automatically, and when he wakes up the next morning after changing them, he can wear whatever clothes he wants, and every piece of clothing will be clean.
No wonder he takes care of himself like a beggar outside.
"Your Highness..."
The guard did not show his inner thoughts on his face. Since the Insect Emperor still remembered him, it meant that there was still a place for this prince in his heart.
As the insects below, they must not take the Insect Emperor's angry words seriously.
Eastman didn't even look up, holding a...
ah?
The guard bent down in disbelief to look, and he was not mistaken, it was a tattered bowl.
I don't know where it was picked up from. There is a chip on it, but it has been wiped clean.
Anyway, it's much cleaner than Eastman's bug.
"Your Highness Prince Isman, His Majesty wants to see you for something."
"He didn't ask me to go back, so I won't go back. Don't bother me."
Eastman lowered his head and spoke in a cold tone.
The sound was also different from the gentle one before.
"Your Highness, why are you doing this? His Majesty may have been a little harsh, but it was all for your own good. Now you just need to go back and apologize to His Majesty, and maybe you can regain your status as a prince. Why bother going against His Majesty?"
The guard tried to persuade him patiently, but Eastman didn't take his words to heart at all.
"Your Majesty is not my father, and I am not qualified to enter the palace now. Please don't bother me anymore."
The guards had no choice.
He couldn't force him. The man in front of him was still a prince after all, and he couldn't offend him. But persuading him with words was useless, so he had to state his last condition: "What if His Majesty allows you to see Xie Si? Are you unwilling to go back?"
Thanks?
This name seemed to have finally affected Eastman. He raised his head suddenly, with an unprecedented ferocity in his eyes: "What is he going to do?"
The guard was startled and guessed, "Perhaps His Majesty the Insect Emperor has come to his senses and wants you and General Xie Si to finally become a couple?"
"...His Majesty said that he wanted to give you and General Xie Si a reason to meet..."
