Counterattack [Interstellar]

After Allen's super starship landed, it took a long time before Tara's militia representatives came out to greet him. Allen's etiquette officer was aggrieved, but Allen didn't think much of it. If someone else wanted to build a military base on the main star or Alice, he would Allen said to the ceremonial officer: "Send the soil ceremonies we brought over first, and tell them that this is a little wish from Her Royal Highness, the Crown Princess, who cannot do without Alice. I can use a small gift to make up for the regret of not being able to come here in person.”

The etiquette officer was stunned for a moment, and hesitated, "Are you talking about the mechanical energy shields in cabin C?"

Allen nodded: "Of course, didn't you say it before? Courtesy first, soldiers later."

The etiquette officer smiled tacitly, turned around and went to cook.

Allen lowered his head and smiled, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, no one will care in whose name these things are sent out, it is not a loss at all to use a little stuff from the treasury to win a good reputation for Pei Yao.

Allen opened the virtual window in the cabin, and switched the camera to take a closer look at the special landforms of Tara Star. From Allen's perspective, the surface of Tara Star was like dry and cracked land, with gaps that were bottomless. Allen zoomed in. Looking at the camera, you can vaguely see the buildings and the river under the deep gap.

"It's been explained." Not long after, the etiquette officer came back and said with a bow, "The representatives of the Tara people were very surprised. They are very grateful to you and Your Highness the Crown Princess for their kindness. Do you want to meet them?"

Allen shook his head slightly, and the etiquette officer followed Allen's gaze, and said softly: "The radiation on the surface is too high, and they generally don't come up without special circumstances, because the Tara people have very fair skin because they live underground all year round. But it's strange that they don't get sick from it, and of course it may have something to do with the decent medical care here."

Allen thought for a while, and said for a while: "Don't be in a hurry to talk to them about mining, let's distribute our gifts today, and don't need to say anything else."

The etiquette officer nodded, Allen silently looked at the virtual window and asked, "Where is Admiral Balck's garrison?"

"It's not far from here." The etiquette officer entered the coordinates, and the location of the garrison appeared on the virtual window after a short while. Allen looked at the camps that looked like hills and said with a smile: "They don't live underground?"

The etiquette officer smiled: "Most people are more used to living on the ground."

Allen nodded: "Let our people go too."

"Ours too?" The etiquette officer frowned, "Your Highness, our starship is big enough to accommodate ten times the number of soldiers living here."

Allen shook his head, unable to refute: "No, only the knights of the Guard Battalion are left on the starship, and the rest will leave the starship tonight."

Regarding Alan's personal safety, the etiquette officer had no choice but to persuade him again: "Please think again..." The etiquette officer hesitated and said in a low voice: "As you know, Admiral Pei Xuan may also be in Tara, You... You shouldn't have forgotten what happened on the Pearl that year, right?"

Allen smiled: "Of course not, go, I know it." The etiquette officer couldn't do it, so he had to make arrangements.

Alan stood back in front of the virtual window, looked at the grotesque mountains and rocks and smiled faintly. If he didn't relax his guard, how could Pei Xuan come.

Balk stayed on Tara Star for almost half a year without finding Pei Xuan. It can be seen that Pei Xuan deliberately avoided them. Pei Xuan came to look for him.

As early as when Admiral Balk withdrew, the Tara people were ready to fight. To their surprise, the main star sent the crown prince over again. There was no news here. Many people thought that the crown prince was still Anthony. A lot of jokes were made during the half-moon on Tara Star. Alan has a rare good temper, and he was not angry at all about it. Instead, he used it to tease himself. I am very interested in the culture of the Tara people, and I am also very concerned about the lives of the Tara people. Those who don't know think that Allen is here to condolences to the people of the distant galaxy.

"Today's militia representatives from Tara sent a lot of their special crystals." Allen's etiquette officer brought up a small exquisite box and said respectfully, "This crystal is crystal clear and dazzling after being carved. Because it is unique to Tara, and the annual mining volume is small, the price is also very expensive. Although these are still rough stones, such a box... probably also has a sky-high price."

Allen took it and glanced at it and handed it back to the etiquette officer: "Take it away, go back and hand it over to the artisans so that they can polish the clothes and buckle them for the princess."

The etiquette officer smiled: "Probably only Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess can use such expensive buttons."

Allen smiled lightly and said nothing, while the etiquette officer put the box in the safe and said: "When I first arrived, I could see that they were hostile to us. I didn't expect their attitude to change so much in just ten days. This is all due to you... The people of Tara respect and love you very much, and some people even asked our knights when you can officially succeed to the throne."

Allen smiled and said, "Stop saying that, Auston is already afraid of me enough."

"Did you do what I ordered you today?" Allen looked at the officer of the ceremony, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, "Are you ready?"

The etiquette officer's heart sank and he nodded. Allen felt relieved, but the etiquette officer was very uneasy and couldn't help saying: "Your Highness, it's still..."

"Shh..." Alan waved his hand, "Go, I'm tired today, I need to go to bed early."

The etiquette officer had no choice but to retreat. When leaving the main cabin, he did not confirm the password as usual, and left only after the cabin door was closed.

It was night, and Alan was the only one left in the central area of ​​the starship.

In the middle of the night, Allen opened the virtual window and quietly looked at the moon outside the window in a trance. He constantly changed the angle, focused repeatedly, and took several photos with the virtual window. After a special angle, twelve moons formed a similar With a heart-shaped pattern, Allen smiled with satisfaction, and sent the photo to Pei Yao, with a sentence: Tara's moon, I hope I can watch it with you in the future.

When the last letter was typed, there was a slight rattle on the main hatch.

Allen continued to transfer the pictures to Pei Yao's communicator, closed the virtual window, and sat back on the sofa.

The button light on the control panel of the main cabin door was beating crazily. Allen suddenly remembered that when he was on the Pearl, because he couldn't bear the pain of estrus, he adjusted the temperature of the cabin to the lowest level. Intruding into the system of his cabin politely, Allen chuckled in his heart, his family has a long history.

Maybe it's because I've been looking forward to this meeting for too long, or maybe the uninvited guest outside the door has too many similar feelings to Pei Yao. When the visitor successfully opened the hatch and appeared in front of Alan, Alan felt abnormally calm.

The visitor was holding a QJY-089 that Pei Yao was used to, pointing the gun at Alan. Alan looked calm and said with a smile, "Admiral Pei Xuan."

The visitor paused, then took off his hood, his gray hair was exposed under the hood, he took off his electronic eyes, his gaze was stern, and he gave a military salute quietly, "His Royal Highness."

Alan's eyes were complicated. If I remember correctly, Pei Xuan should be exactly 99 years old this year. According to his age...his appearance is a bit too vicissitudes.

Pei Xuan's figure is not bad. It can be seen that he still has the firmness of a young man. He is much darker and thinner than the one he saw in the photo before. There are a few deep wrinkles between his brows, and his hair is shaved. It's very short, but it can be seen that it is almost completely white. Alan took a deep breath in his heart. Pei Xuan has probably experienced more than he imagined in these years.

Allen returned the military salute, "Please sit down."

Pei Xuan deftly turned the photon gun in his left hand, and said, "No, I didn't come here today to chat with you, Your Highness, you came to Tala all the way to settle some mineral dispute, right? "

Pei Xuan looked at Alan from head to toe with a knife-like gaze, and asked, "What do you want to see me in such a hurry?"

"I just want to make sure that you are really still alive." Allen smiled. "You were betrayed and almost died. This is the loss of the empire."

Pei Xuan sneered: "You have already confirmed that I am still alive, otherwise you would mobilize people to come here? After all, he is Auston's son. Even I can believe a lie."

After being spotted face to face, Alan didn't feel ashamed. He smiled lightly: "I was discovered by you...Indeed, I have confirmed that you are still alive. I just came here this time to meet you."

Pei Xuan's gun was still pointed at himself, and Allen tried his best to concentrate more, and continued: "You are the father of my lover, and I am going to marry him. I think it is necessary for me to meet you."

Talking about Pei Yao, Pei Xuan's expression loosened a little, Alan thought for a while and said: "If you say more pleasant things, you will probably think I'm hypocritical, so let me just say... I hope to get your approval."

"When I knew you were still alive, what I was most worried about was that you would affect my relationship with Pei Yao." Allen said calmly and slowly, "Based on what Auston has done to you, you want No amount of revenge is too much, this hatred will probably implicate me too, I have had countless political enemies since I was a child, so I don't care about them, but you are different from them...you can easily influence Pei Yao."

Alan looked at Pei Xuan with firm eyes: "I want to grow old with Pei Yao, so I have to solve this potential culprit."

"Then explain to Oston directly, wouldn't it be better to let him kill me?" Pei Xuan sneered, "If you don't want to kill me, you probably think I'm useful, right? Crown Prince, are you anxious to become emperor?"

Seeing blood in every sentence of Pei Xuan, Alan couldn't help being distracted under the gun. It would be great if Pei Yao had Pei Xuan's hostility, and he wouldn't be bullied by that thing Anthony, and he didn't have to be like this when he wasn't around. worry about him.

"I've been in a hurry." Allen didn't refute the obvious thing, nodded and said, "There is a reason for not wanting to disclose your secret, but I'm more worried about Pei Yao. If I am related, then everything I worked so hard on before will come to naught.”

"No matter how careful the plan is, there is a possibility of being exposed. I dare not take any risks with Pei Yao." Allen smiled at Pei Xuan: "As long as Pei Yao is around, I will tolerate you unlimitedly, so you and I In between, the person facing the gun will always be me."

Pei Xuan's sharp eyes stared at Alan. In Alan's eyes, Pei Xuan didn't find a look of lying. The love and harmony between the two royal highnesses, the prince and the princess, is known to the whole empire. Pei Xuan didn't believe it much before. , but now look at...

Pei Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Well, if I hold you hostage today, I can probably solve the problem between me and Auston very quickly."

Allen put his hand on the armrest of the sofa and said with a smile, "Do you think Auston cares about me?"

Alan wasn't sure if Pei Xuan was testing himself, and said: "I said before, as long as Pei Yao is around, I won't do anything to hurt you. You can do whatever you want, although I don't think you will do that." ... Otherwise you wouldn't have come alone, would you?"

Pei Xuan remained silent, Alan lowered his head and smiled: "If I'm not mistaken, your purpose is similar to mine... I want to make sure how much the other party attaches importance to Pei Yao."

Alan looked at Pei Xuan, and said for a while: "Pei Yao was born on your battleship, and was brought back to the main star shortly after he uttered his voice. You haven't seen him a few times since then, when he was seven years old... "

Alan paused and continued: "Although Pei Yao is an orphan, he is mentally healthy and does not have the extreme character that is common among orphans of martyrs. He has lived a fulfilling life since he was a child... Although in my opinion, he lived a very fulfilling life. It's a bit hard, but Pei Yao always thinks it's normal, he has the fortitude and calmness that a man should have."

"His Quantum Beast is a dragon." Allen smiled softly, "He awakened when he was nine years old, and I still have a picture of him at that time... A little boy is sitting with a slightly fat little golden dragon, and you are behind him and Mrs.

Pei Xuan's eyes suddenly turned red, he gritted his teeth, and his hand holding the photon gun trembled slightly.

"Pei Yao got to his current position by virtue of his military exploits. He has always been patient and never complained. He accepts whatever his fate gives him. It is not easy for him to come all the way to this day." Allen lowered his eyes, "He loves me more than you can imagine. I have no intention of threatening, but he is very happy now. I hope you will not destroy his hard-won comfort."

Pei Xuan tried his best to suppress the tears in his eyes, and when he was about to say something, Alan's communicator suddenly rang!

Allen didn't have any confirmation settings for Pei Yao's communication. The communicator was automatically connected at the moment of dialing, and Pei Yao's voice on the communicator was a little hurried...

"Your Highness? I'm very sorry that I didn't read the newsletter during the meeting just now. Are you... asleep?"
