Section 294

The successful assassination was already a serious dereliction of duty for them. If they could not recover in time and make up for the loss, their fate could be imagined.

Therefore, while Yuan Buwei was rushing towards the first flying ship, the military had already taken action. While notifying others to avoid it, they also used heavy weapons.

Dozens of small mechas took off instantly, and the extremely sufficient artillery fire instantly included the problematic flying ship in the range of the sweep, and launched a counterattack against it. As the most elite mecha troops of the empire, they cooperated tacitly, and soon relied on more powerful artillery and more sufficient manpower to force those flying ships to retreat step by step, and surrounded them without making a sound, forcing them into a desperate situation.

Accompanied by the surging energy brilliance, this place turned into a battlefield in an instant. The citizens of the Empire who had come to welcome Yuan Buwei almost all dispersed. From afar, they saw that the vast ocean covering the sky suddenly split, and countless small flying ships scattered around like a school of fish.

Because the Imperial Army consciously separated Yuan Buwei's side from theirs, the battlefield was immediately divided into two halves. On one side, the mecha troops besieged the flying ship group of unknown origin, and on the other side, there was only a torn small flying ship shaking in the air, and soon it fell down like a bird with its wings torn off.

Boom!

With a violent explosion, the flying ship fell to the ground.

Large patches of fire burned on the spot, and the flying fragments scattered in all directions, with energy radiance escaping.

A figure walked out of the fire. His movements seemed to be unhurried, but the frequency and stride were very large. He just walked out of the explosion range. The exoskeleton armor on his body continued to withstand the impact from the explosion, but it never cracked. He was still dragging a person who had fainted, like dragging a dead dog.

After escaping the danger zone, Yuan Buwei casually threw the person on the ground, then removed the exoskeleton armor around his body, and then raised his hand to pat the hem of his clothes.

He raised his head as if nothing had happened, and looked around as if no one was around. It looked like he had just walked home and solved a thief who was stealing in his own home. He was so arrogant.

Looking at the mecha troops that had just surrounded and annihilated those flying ships and were dealing with the final matters, Yuan Buwei shook his head slightly: "The ace mecha troops of the empire, is this it?"

"The combat effectiveness of the army now is naturally not comparable to when you were still here, commander." At this time, several imperial ministers quickly came up, and the leader smiled and said sincerely, "This just shows that the empire can't do without you."

This has infinitely magnified Yuan Buwei's role and infinitely belittled the imperial military. Even such words can be said, which can only show that the imperial military is really doing a bad job, and Yuan Buwei is also incomparably important to them. In order to keep him, the military even did not hesitate to humble itself to please him.

This man smiled bitterly and ruthlessly exposed the military's past to curry favor with Yuan Buwei: "Perhaps you don't know yet, this time we overturned your case, we also found a lot of problems in the army, and a lot of termites. Since you left the empire, these termites have been eroding the army. Even the armaments of the royal legion have problems, not to mention discipline and training... It's a pity that the time is too short. Although the cancer has been eliminated, the 'sequelae' cannot be solved in a short time." As he said this, he looked at Yuan Buwei eagerly, "Today, I don't know how many people are looking forward to your return."

... He really spared no effort to play the emotional card. If the emperor and he are only genetically related, then the place where he served in the army for ten years and the subordinates who supported him are undoubtedly the places where he has the most emotions. Starting from this aspect, it is indeed a good card.

Yuan Buwei knew all this clearly. He didn't promise anything, but just said, "This has nothing to do with me, and I'm not the commander of the empire anymore. This time I just came to clarify everything and eliminate grudges. Now I just want to know what arrangements the empire has."

The man didn't get the most ideal answer, and sighed regretfully. He was not in a hurry, but just stretched out his hand and invited Yuan Buwei to board the exclusive flying ship: "Your request will be fulfilled to the letter by the whole empire. However, before that, His Majesty is waiting for you."

He bowed slightly and saluted, and changed his address: "Your Highness, the eldest prince, please."

Yuan Buwei didn't refuse, but just stretched out his hand and pointed to the person on the ground: "This person should have a special status among the attackers. Take him with you. I want to be present during the interrogation."

The group of people who raided Yuan Buwei just now have been arrested. They must be interrogated to find out their identities. This person is of course no exception. Yuan Buwei's attitude clearly showed that he didn't trust the Empire enough.

Seeing his firm attitude, the man who came to greet him reluctantly agreed, but his heart was not at peace.

The Empire was completely unaware of this inexplicable attack, and choosing to attack him at this time was simply a suicidal act. Because even if Yuan Buwei was killed, the Empire would definitely find out who attacked him. Their fate would definitely not be any better afterwards. It can be seen how crazy this group of people's behavior was, it was simply suicidal.

——There seems to be only one explanation for such a self-destructive behavior, and that is that if you don't kill them, it will be miserable for them. It is better to fight to the death. Even if you can't survive, at least you can die together.

It's easy to figure out who it is. It's nothing more than those who have irreconcilable conflicts of interest with Yuan Buwei, and who will surely end badly once he returns, choose to use this method to struggle to their death. Maybe if they were not dead, they would have a chance to live?

Unfortunately, they lost the bet.

Glancing at the young man's back as he stepped onto the airship, he seemed to have witnessed a brutal purge that was about to begin.

This back figure bathed in the morning light seemed to be stained with a sad color of blood.

Chapter 245 Rebellious Party 29

This was Yuan Buwei's first time meeting the emperor face to face in reality.

The average life span of the new human race has exceeded one hundred and twenty years. The emperor, who is in his early fifties, does not look old. His dark golden hair is neatly combed, and his pupils are dark brown that is close to black. , with a majestic yet loving expression on his face.

Seeing Yuan Buwei's arrival, this big shot at the top of the empire's power pyramid took the initiative to welcome him without any arrogance, with a smile on his face: "Welcome back, kid, the empire is your forever home." He said with difficulty. cover He said in an exclamatory tone, filled with emotion, "Back then, when I took a fancy to your talent and promoted you to be the youngest commander-in-chief of the empire against all odds, I never thought that there would be a relationship between you and me. There is another relationship.”

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he first pointed out the kindness he had for cultivating "Wu Heng" in the past. From this aspect, the emperor was indeed kind to "Wu Heng", no matter what he had originally thought. ‌Is it an intention to take advantage?

The tense expression on his face relaxed in time.

Seeing this, the loving old father couldn't conceal his excitement: "Fate made me deceived by others and made a big mistake, which almost caused us to miss it. However, it used another way to let us father and son recognize each other and find each other again. Every time Recalling this experience, I‌ It's a fear and a surprise. Fortunately, you are finally back, my son. I want to reveal your identity to all the people of the empire. You will be the future heir of the empire! This is the honor that should belong to you!”

He swings his arms exaggeratedly, with an excited expression, and makes a promise that is enough to make countless people excited and unable to sleep. His eyes are full of joy and satisfaction at the lost and found biological son.

If it were the original person who grew up as an orphan, faced with this behavior, no matter how much resentment he had, he would be moved to death.

It's a pity that I was not moved by the fact that I never lacked a father, let alone by the profound fatherly love that fell from the sky. On the contrary, I had a lot of experience in cheating my father, enough to write a book.

However, having directed and acted himself, he has already perfected his acting skills to cope with the emperor.

Therefore, he just opened his eyes slightly in surprise and looked at the emperor with extremely complicated eyes.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally closed it again without saying a word. He looked like a child who had never felt his father's love before and was suddenly hit by this sudden concern. However, for a while, I couldn't get over the hurdle in my heart, and I seemed a little at a loss.

After a long while, the young man with a complicated expression finally said: "No, I don't plan to stay in the empire for a long time. When everything is over, I will leave with my fleet." He seemed to have made a decision, and his whole body relaxed. Take a breath.

When the emperor heard this, he looked extremely disappointed, and naturally he tried to comfort him, which fully demonstrated the care of an old father for his lost and found son. He made various promises without leaving a trace, as if he wanted to compensate his son for everything he had missed over the years.

This father's love is so overwhelming that it can make the third prince Xiwenqia spit out his lemon juice. Of course, it is also enough to make an orphan who has never felt father's love be deeply touched and find it difficult to refuse.

In this way, the emperor watched with satisfaction as the attitude of the young man in front of him gradually softened and became no longer so determined.

Yuan Buwei showed the struggle process with superb acting skills. Although his eyes looked deeply touched, he did not let go.

As if he had found an excuse, he said in a tough manner: "You want me to stay in the empire, but I don't feel the empire's sincerity. On the Imperial Capital Star, I can still be In fact, there are obviously many people who want me dead."

The emperor had just received the news, and his face turned ugly when he thought about it. Seeing that Yuan Buwei seemed to be worried, he immediately promised: "This incident was an accident and a dereliction of duty by the military. Don't worry, I will punish you severely." They will definitely do it too‌ Find out the mastermind in the shortest possible time and give you an explanation." There was a hint of anger on his face, "You are my son and the future heir of the empire. To attack you is to provoke the entire empire. ‌Such crimes will never be tolerated!”

The emperor's anger was by no means staged.

This has nothing to do with whether the attacker is his son or not, but that such behavior not only provokes the empire, but also slaps him in the face. He has told everyone to welcome Yuan Buwei respectfully, but some people jump out and openly contradict him. Doesn’t the emperor not want to lose face?

What's more, they are still causing trouble on the Imperial Capital Star, which is already related to the safety of the Imperial Capital Star. Not to mention the emperor, other people may not be able to bear it either.

The emperor's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent, but he quickly restrained it. He greeted Yuan Buwei with a smile: "Today, we are reunited as father and son, so let's not talk about those things that spoil the fun. Come on, you haven't eaten yet, right? The palace has recently hired a new chef who is best at making wild game brought back from primitive stars. You must taste it."

The so-called primitive stars are those planets where the level of technology is still at a very low level and the natives of the planets have only been born recently.

The primitive stars still retain the complete natural landscape, have not been transformed by high technology, and all kinds of birds and beasts grow freely. For the empire, it is the best source of wild ingredients.

Generally, when such planets are discovered, the empire will choose to isolate and protect them, and will not allow anyone to destroy their native ecology. It only sends people to capture birds and beasts on the primitive stars regularly. Just like farmers picking mature wild vegetables in the wild.

And these birds and beasts that have survived under the law of natural selection without human interference are naturally much more delicious and precious than those raised in captivity.

The emperor was not happy to enjoy the meal. The only pity was that the chef didn't seem to be good at desserts.

The emperor acted like an old father who cared about his son in every way.
