Interstellar: The Devil Is Down - Chapter 85
Those memories in his mind were obviously not something that Pei Yi had experienced personally, but he was a little choked up at this moment.
“It’s fine to live…”
Pei Yi motioned for them to get up, and their gazes swept across the young faces one by one, and finally fell on Lin Ye’s face.
This is a childhood friend of His Royal Highness “Lacy” and a former friend.
Lin Ye lowered his head and glanced at Pei Yi’s legs, “His Royal Highness and I are really hard brothers, both of whom have become half-handicapped.”
He said this lightly, and Pei Yi couldn’t help but laugh, and the strangeness between the two people was dispelled.
But then Lin Ye’s smile gradually faded. He turned to Charles the Great and asked: “Your Majesty, please allow me to say a few words.”
After receiving the affirmation of Charles the Great, Lin Ye saw the members of the assembly and said word by word: “Everyone must be wondering why we are still alive, but we haven’t returned to the empire until now.”
“After reading the content in the chip in my hand, you will understand.” Lin Ye handed out the small chip in his hand, and a special service officer took it to play it.
The holographic picture is very chaotic, the scene is the control room of the starship——
“Where are the reinforcements? Why haven’t they arrived yet?!” The black-haired young man was tall and tall, staring at the huge star map in the control room, and asked calmly.
Lin Ye wiped his sweat with a sorrowful smile on his face, “General, the communicator has lost contact…”
“What are you talking about?!” The black-haired young man turned his head, his face was like Pei Yi, and he grabbed Lin Ye by the neckline.
The door of the main control room was opened, and a soldier shouted in a panic: “General, we are surrounded by the enemy!”
As soon as his voice fell, the starship was hit violently, and the few people present almost couldn’t stand still.
“Warning! Warning! 40% of the energy remaining in the defensive cover.”
“Boom—”
With the violent tremor of the starship, the picture began to shake, and the starship’s artificial intelligence reminded that the energy of the defensive shield had completely collapsed.
Pei Yi let go of Lin Ye, his expression gloomy.
The reinforcements should have arrived now, but they couldn’t get in touch at all, and the fool knew there was a problem in the rear.
Someone wants him to die!
“General! We, we are abandoned!”
Lin Ye roared: “General! Go away!”
“His Royal Highness! You take the guards! Let’s take cover!” His soldiers have changed their words and are no longer called generals, but “His Royal Highness” who represents the noble status of the royal family.
The black-haired young man clenched his fists, his eyes were terribly angry, and gritted his teeth and said: “No! Let’s go together!”
“General, I’m sorry!”
Lin Ye took advantage of him and suddenly slashed at the back of his neck with a hand knife. Pei Yi’s black eyes were full of anger and disbelief before he fell down.
Lin Ye picked up Pei Yi and led the guards through the violently shaking passage. The lights above his head began to flicker, and the artificial intelligence’s warning sound became sharper and sharper.
With a snap, the picture plunged into darkness.
After watching this video, there was a brief silence in the chamber.
Charles the Great’s face was pale, and he asked in a deep voice: “General Leicester, please explain.”
At the time, the nearest garrison near the Star Chen Army was a unit belonging to the Second Legion, and the reinforcements were personally ordered by General Lester, the top administrator of the Second Star Region.
“Your Majesty.” General Lester stood up to salute, without changing his face, “I swear by the honor of an imperial soldier, I have never done anything like this!”
After saying this, General Lester never made any excuses.
“Please play back the video just now.” Lin Ye said again at this time.
When the central holographic screen was playing, Lin Ye called to stop.
“Look at the time of this video, everybody.”
This kind of video usually shows the time of the day in the upper right corner. When the congressmen saw that date and many people hadn’t reacted to it, Lin Ye had already spoken again.
“The time when the reinforcements actually arrived, and the time we received the order, was 24 hours late.” Lin Ye explained, “If the reinforcements could arrive on time, it would have been an unquestionable victory! If it weren’t for Lai General Sturt got it wrong, that is, someone took advantage of the time difference between the galaxy and the galaxy to plan this event in one hand!”
Before the people present could think deeply, he immediately raised his voice and asked: “Excuse me, everyone, as the first heir to the royal family is dead, who will get the most benefit?”
Naturally, His Royal Highness Andy is the second in line.
This answer popped up in everyone’s hearts in an instant.
But no one dared to speak out. Lin Ye dared to speak out the secrets of fighting in the imperial house in front of Emperor Charles, so that the congressmen didn’t know whether they were feeling his fearlessness or pitying his ignorance.
Today, with an average of two hundred years of human life, Emperor Charles the Great is only in his seventies and is in his prime of life. However, his son can no longer hold back, staring at the throne under him, staring at him.
Every king at the pinnacle of power will never tolerate anyone coveting his position, even if that person is his own son!
Andy was pale at the moment, he licked his lips, “Father! You can’t doubt me like that! There must be evidence for everything! This is just Lin Ye’s one-sided words! You can’t just assume that I did it based on his unilateral speculation. of!”
Pei Yi lowered his eyes. He was right. Apart from doing everything possible to find Lin Ye as a witness, and the video in Lin Ye’s hands, no one could prove that the person who framed the original “Lacy” was Andy.
But what about it, Pei does not need evidence, as long as the imperial dignitaries, especially their father Charles the Great, see Andy’s ambitions, sow the seeds of doubt.
Even if Charles the Great can’t deal with his little son now, Andy’s status in his mind and his reputation among the people of the empire will plummet, and it will be difficult to stand up.
Pei knows very well that letting a strong and arrogant person like Andy live in a swallowing voice every day will be more unbearable for him than death.
Emperor Charles the Great looked extremely ugly. The proposal for the “New Human Gene Project” that had been well carried out was actually a twists and turns. He witnessed the tit-for-tat confrontation between his two sons.
The face of the royal family was swept to the ground.
Even if he were an ordinary father, he would not be happy to see the scene of brothers smashing the wall, let alone an emperor!
“Father…” Andy wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Charles the Great.
“Enough! Today’s meeting…” When things fell to this point, the parliament could no longer continue. Charles the Great was about to announce the dissolution, but someone who didn’t know what to do was interrupted.
“His Royal Highness wants evidence?”
Xuan Xiao, who had been quiet and silent, suddenly stood up.
Pei Yi’s gaze fell on him immediately, and his eyebrows were slightly condensed. What is Xuan Xiao doing?
Xuan Xiao walked to the center of the chamber step by step, and the mysterious black cloak drew a sharp arc as he walked. His tall body contained a sense of oppression, and the aura from him shocked the surrounding councillors’ screens. Hold your breath.
He snapped his fingers “pop”.
The holographic screen that had turned black was brightened again.
The image is not clear, but you can see the back of the man inside. Such a dress is only worthy of the royal family.
“…Postpone the time…Yes, to…Don’t…come back…Um…”
That voice clearly belongs to Andy.
While he instructed the people in front of him, he was pacing in the room, and when he turned around, the profile of his face made people recognize him at a glance.
All the members, including Charles the Great, looked at Andy.
Leng Khan slid down Andy’s forehead, and he pointed at Xuan Xiao and yelled, “You–how did you have this! No, no! You are not already–“
“Isn’t it cleared of memory, forced to recognize you as the only master, and your life is yours?”
Xuan Xiao said slowly: “I did lose my memory, but-how could I have forgotten, the culprit that caused me to endure countless tortures and almost died, is your Highness?”
“So your obedience is all pretend!”
“Not bad.” Xuan Xiao changed his arrogance just now, his expression was solemn, and his blue eyes were filled with a heavy and frightening sense of oppression, “My obedience is just to find your Highness’s handle.”
Then destroy you.
Xuan Xiao did not say this, but Andy had already seen his intentions in his eyes.
The situation forced Andy to a dead end.
He quickly thought about countermeasures, but found that under such strong evidence, he could not save himself.
“Andy. Is that you in this video?” Charles the Great asked.
His tone sounded very calm, no one could feel a trace of anger, but the guards standing behind him were already tight and sweaty on their foreheads.
“Father…I…”
“answer me.”
Andy smiled miserably, and then, a deep resentment appeared on his face, “Father, there will always be only brother in your heart. I never forget to put his name on my lips wherever I go. No matter how hard I try, you see. Not me!”
“Have you considered how I feel?!”
“I’m not worse than my brother, why do you only see him!”
He even acquiesced that the annihilation of Xingchen Army was done by him.
However, based on the current situation, even if the rebuttal is meaningless, it is better to admit it altogether, and to retain the last face for yourself.
“You disappointed me too much.” Charles the Great raised his hand and pressed his forehead. After a heavy sigh, his broad shoulders seemed to sink, as if he was ten years old in an instant.
“That was more than 300,000 imperial soldiers. They did not die in the hands of the Zerg, but sadly died under the calculations of their noble prince.”
There was a sigh in the whole chamber, and the condemnation of Andy grew from small to louder.
“Okay.” Charles the Great raised his hand and pressed it to silence everyone, “Andy’s crimes are judged by their own laws, and I will not shield him just because he is my son.”
“Come on, take him down and take care of it!”
Charles the Great’s guards stepped forward to ask Andy. He is the prince. Even if he will be detained before going to court for trial, he will not be sent to prison.
He will be placed under house arrest in his bedroom.
Andy didn’t say anything, with the arrogance of the prince, the pace was steady, proud and graceful, disappeared into the sight of everyone.
