"We'll beat them at their own game."
Xiang Muchuan didn't elaborate, but Yao Zicong and the other two knew the Young Marshal's style of doing things, so they knew what he was going to do.
Speaking of which, they hadn't met Jack Litt for a while, so they didn't know if this meeting would be unforgettable for the rest of his life.
Yao Zicong, Barton, and Ai Qi looked at each other and smirked.
Gou Liang understood all of Xiang Muchuan's plans through telepathy, but he didn't care about the price the Freedom Federation would have to pay for inviting the Young Marshal into their territory. He was still thinking about how Xiang Muchuan was kicked by Jei Su. After experiencing so many worlds, no one had ever dared to do such a humiliating thing to the Lord God. When he persuaded Xiang Muchuan to fake his surrender and use the drug to reverse the situation, he didn't consider this point at all.
Obviously, Xiang Muchuan was prepared for this and didn't take Jei Su's offense to heart.
But Gou Liang couldn't stand it.
He could treat his injury as a mission requirement, but even if it was a mission requirement, he couldn't bear to see his beloved little target get hurt.
Lifting Xiang Muchuan's military uniform, Gou Liang seriously checked his abdomen that was hit.
"I'm not hurt, don't worry."
Xiang Muchuan took Jei Su's personal terminal from Yao Zicong and was about to hack into the warship's main system. Seeing Jei Su rubbing his abdomen with a frown, he smiled and patted his head.
Jei Su was only a B-rank Sentinel, his strength was nothing in front of the S-rank Xiang Muchuan. His kick that used all of his strength didn't leave any scars, and the pain was almost gone.
Gou Liang took out a tube of spray from his pocket and used it on Xiang Muchuan. Xiang Muchuan's discomfort was completely eliminated, but he still looked unhappy.
Everyone was curious about his Universal Pocket, but since Gou Liang did not take the initiative to explain, they did not dare to ask more. However, Ai Qi, who was in charge of medical treatment in the team, asked, "Young Master Yuan, you just entered the Capital Pharmaceutical Academy this year, right? Did you concoct these potions yourself? "
As she asked, she could not hide the admiration on her face. As an A-rank sentinel, it was destined that her achievements in the field of pharmaceutics would not surpass that of the guide, who had an innate advantage. However, among the sentinels, she was definitely one of the best.
In front of Gou Liang, she really didn't have the face to boast that she was good at it. However, she also wanted to know how Gou Liang had such high attainments in pharmaceutics.
Not to mention that he had just reached adulthood, he was only a first-year student at Capital University. It had not even been ten days since his awakening as a guide. Therefore, his potions could not have been taught in school.
Moreover, they had never heard of the drugs or the disguise drugs that Gou Liang had used to make Jei Su and the others faint.
"No, all of them."
Gou Liang had tried his best to be humble, but Ai Qi and the others were still shocked.
Xiang Muchuan smiled and told them about how Gou Liang had been taught by the mysterious pharmacist guide since he was young.
He also pointed out that when the old Mr. Kemi passed away, Gou Liang was not even ten years old. His achievements today were mainly due to his own hard work and intelligence.
And as Gou Liang had told him, the anesthetic and disguise potions were new types of potions that he had improved on the basis of the old guide's formula. The potency of the potions was obvious to all. Not to mention Ai Qi, even the Empire's seventy to eighty old pharmacists did not have such ability, which was enough to show his talent.
Gou Liang saw his proud face and could not help but smile.
"Then Young Master Yuan's previous appearance was not real, right?" Barton laughed straightforwardly. "Like I said, although the Yuan family's appearance is not the best, they did not look like this. Hey, then Young Master Yuan's stuttering problem can be cured … Uh, no, that's not what I meant, I was just concerned about Young Master Yuan. "
"You care too much."
Xiang Muchuan gave him a warning look. When he sat down, he put Gou Liang on his lap and patted his head comfortingly. "He can't speak, don't mind him. When we go back, I will help you teach him a lesson."
Ai Qi and Yao Zicong both looked at Barton speechlessly.
In fact, in front of outsiders, Major Barton was even colder than Young Marshal Xiang.
— — It was because he could not control his mouth, and it was too easy for him to ruin things. Since many years ago, he had learned to speak less and make fewer mistakes. However, in front of them, Barton did not have this self-awareness, and he was simply letting the audience down.
Barton also realized that what he said was inappropriate, so he quickly said, "I'm sorry, Young Master Yuan, I'm not saying that it's not good for you to be like this, I mean …"
"Okay, if you don't know how to speak, then shut up."
Ai Qi glared at him.
In her opinion, Gou Liang had a very good temper. Except for things like when the Young Marshal was "bullied" before, he would not argue with others. Barton kept harping on this topic. He really did not know how to read people … No wonder the Young Marshal gave up correcting him and let him be mute in front of outsiders.
"It's okay."
Gou Liang shook his head. When he opened his mouth, he realized that he was stuttering again, and he looked a little annoyed.
Xiang Muchuan kissed his forehead lovingly. "It's good like this, you don't need to change."
"Change, it can't be changed." Gou Liang smiled. "It's written on the genetic chain, it's okay."
The original owner of the body had a very serious speech impediment, and the Yuan family had tried their best to let him speak, but this was already the limit. Unless his genetic map was changed, the defect of stuttering could not be fixed.
Although it was not easy, as long as Gou Liang wanted to, there was nothing impossible.
However, ever since Gou Liang discovered that Xiang Muchuan was patiently and gently paying attention to him every time he spoke, he was not prepared to go through so much trouble. The feeling of Xiang Muchuan pouring all his gentleness and patience on him was too addictive.
Xiang Muchuan confirmed that he really did not care, so he was relieved.
After sitting down, he adjusted Gou Liang's posture before getting down to business.
He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with letting Gou Liang stay in his arms when he was working. During the one or two seconds of the program debugging buffer, he still remembered the person in his arms. From time to time, he would touch his head or rub his chin against his cheek. He looked like he loved him very much.
Yao Zicong and the others were unexpectedly stuffed with a few mouthfuls of dog food, and they all sighed. Married Sentinels were homosexual and not humane. Even the Young Marshal was not likable.
However, Gou Liang, who was nestled in his arms, was still not satisfied. After hugging him for a while, his hands itched. "Tail, Tail."
The smile on Xiang Muchuan's face suddenly faded.
He stopped the program in his hands and looked down at Gou Liang, who was full of anticipation and joy. After a while, he suddenly smiled. "Tail or me, which one do you want?"
Gou Liang: "…"
Confidant x3: I think the Young Marshal is cooler than others when he's jealous. I must have been fed with brainless fans!
"Hmm."
Gou Liang did not hesitate to wrap his arms around Xiang Muchuan's neck and kissed his neck to please him. He innocently said, "I don't know who Tail is."
Xiang Muchuan was satisfied. He was in a good mood, and his hand speed reached a new high. Soon, he extracted the confidential information on the Federation's battleship and the confidential documents that Jei Su had the authority to read.
Although Jei Su Litt did not have any real abilities, he had a good father, and there were many good things inside.
Especially when it was related to the Litt Corps' secret drug and weapon research that had never been leaked to the Federation, as well as various combat exercises. With these, they would not be at a disadvantage against the Litt Corps in the next few years!
Yao Zicong hurriedly recorded the information while saying, "Young Marshal, so Jack Litt is conducting a military exercise on Tut. It seems like he doesn't trust his stupid brother very much."
Tut was only five hours away from where Jei Su had ambushed them. It was located in the Nelson Star System, and according to the people of the Empire, it was also part of the Fringe Star System of the Empire.
In fact, the Freedom Federation was originally a star system that had split off from the Fringe Star System of the Empire. Even now, the Empire did not recognize their regime.
After these planets rebelled and formed the Freedom Federation, the Empire officially renamed the Fringe Star System that was connected to the Insectoids as the Fringe Star System to strengthen the concept of sovereignty. The Freedom Federation's territory was included in the Fringe Star System. In the Empire's history books, they would forever be seen as a traitor and an anti-human organization. The Empire, on the other hand, was working hard to reclaim their lost territory.
In other words, this was a confrontation between the politicians. However, as soldiers of the Empire, they would never give up on expelling the traitors of the Federation and reclaiming their lost star systems.
Jack Litt, on the other hand, was quite a character. He was also an S-rank sentinel, and as the successor of the Federation's third largest army, the Litt Corps, he had fought with Xiang Muchuan multiple times on the battlefield.
Although Xiang Muchuan had won most of the time, he had also suffered losses at Jack's hands. The members of the Xiang Corps would grit their teeth at the mention of Jack.
"Just in time! Jei Su gave us such a big gift. If we don't return it to him, wouldn't it make us look impolite? "
Gou Liang looked at Yuan Zicong's face that was flushed with excitement and silently turned his face away.
"Young Master Yuan, what's wrong?"
Yao Zicong asked, feeling a chill run down his spine.
Gou Liang hid his face in the crook of Xiang Muchuan's arm and said in a muffled voice, "I want to beat you up."
Ai Qi and Barton stared blankly for a moment. Then, they looked at Yao Zicong's face and suddenly burst into laughter.
Xiang Muchuan touched Gou Liang's hair and the smile on his face deepened. He realized that there was nothing about Gou Liang that he didn't like, whether it was his vengefulness or his stuttering. With that thought in mind, Xiang Muchuan suddenly remembered Gou Liang's hidden dimples. He reached out and touched Gou Liang's cheek. Gou Liang rubbed his hand against his big hand and kissed his palm.
Xiang Muchuan paused for a moment and then hugged Gou Liang even tighter.
He suddenly realized that he couldn't wait for two months. At this moment, he had the impulse to announce to the world that Gou Liang belonged to him alone.
Three hours later.
A Federation sentinel knocked on Jei Su's bedroom door. "Lieutenant Colonel Jeisu, we're almost at our destination."
"Got it."
Yao Zicong opened the door unhappily. The six people behind him were bruised and swollen, and two of them were carried on the shoulders of others. They had already fainted.
The person's military rank was higher than Jei Su's. He was a Federation Senior Colonel.
Although he always knew that Jei Su had violent tendencies and had been angered by Jei Su before, he still frowned when he saw how ruthless Jei Su was this time.
Due to the other party's status, he couldn't punish Jei Su, but he still warned him. "General Jack hates people who abuse soldiers. Lieutenant Colonel, don't go too far."
Yao Zicong snorted coldly. He saw the anger hidden in the other party's eyes and became even more arrogant.
"You don't have to worry about me. Take these two pieces of trash away. The four of you follow me to interrogate the captives. This is your chance to make up for your mistakes. It's best if you can get what I want before we land. Otherwise, I'll ask my father to expel you from the military. "
"Yes …"
Xiang Muchuan and the others cooperated with him and held back their anger.
The senior colonel was enraged, and he said in a low voice, "Lieutenant Colonel Jesu, the captive is still unconscious. Our mission is to transfer them to the general … "
"Enough! You don't have the right to order me around! "
Yao Zicong rudely pushed him away and left with the four heavily injured sentries.
The Senior Colonel's deputy took the two injured soldiers and gritted his teeth. "Jei Su is too much! We're not his soldiers! "
"Remember, his surname is Litt. No matter how much trash he is, he's more than enough to deal with you." The Senior Colonel warned his subordinates and frowned. "Don't you think Tom and the others are a little strange today?"
"Strange? Senior Colonel, are you talking about how they didn't salute you back? If it was me who was beaten up like this and couldn't fight back, I wouldn't have the face to see you. Besides, the four of them are all A-ranked soldiers. That Jei Su is no match for them. If it wasn't for … "
"That's enough, stop complaining."
The Senior Colonel interrupted his subordinates and suppressed the doubts that flashed through his mind. He had also missed his last chance.
*
Tut Planet.
"General, the Prime Minister said he has something to discuss with you."
Jack Litt, who was watching the Litt Legion's military exercise, retracted his gaze and connected the call to his personal terminal.
"Prime Minister."
Jack saluted, but his attitude showed that he had limited respect for the head of the Confederation.
The Prime Minister was a little angry, but he didn't show it. "General Jack, I just received news that my son Bnehamin has gone missing in the Nelsen Galaxy. We have lost contact with his terminal. Please find him as soon as possible."
"Bnehamin? What is he doing in Nelsen? "
Jack frowned.
The Prime Minister was very angry with his son's behavior, but he couldn't leave him alone. He said with a troubled expression, "He heard that Jei Su is in Nelsen, so he went to find him. You know, they're about to get married. It's normal for Bnehamin to visit his fiancé. But this child is too naive. It's dangerous for him to be out there as a guide. General Jack, please ensure his safety. After all, he's going to be your brother soon. "
"I understand. Please don't worry."
After ending the call, Jack asked, "When will Jei Su arrive?"
"General, according to the report sent by the starship a minute ago, he'll arrive in twenty minutes."
"You're in charge of receiving the hostages. Don't let them have the chance to commit suicide. Also, keep an eye on Jei Su. Don't let him cause any trouble. "
Jack asked his deputy to prepare the starship. He wanted to find Bnehamin personally.
The deputy was a little surprised. Jack said, "Although Bnehamin is only a C-grade guide, he's the Prime Minister's only guide son. The Empire's Xiang Muchuan has found a 100% compatible guide. This is very bad for us. The Litt Legion still needs the Prime Minister's support. I won't allow any changes to this marriage. "
The deputy understood and quickly said that he would keep an eye on Lieutenant Colonel Jeisu.
Even he knew that it wasn't just Bnehamin who was unhappy with this marriage. Even Jei Su wasn't willing. If he knew that Bnehamin had gone missing in Nelson, this self-centered idiot who didn't care about his family might really use his family's power to make Bnehamin disappear silently.
Not long after Jack left Tut Planet, Lieutenant Colonel Jeisu's battleship arrived at Tut Planet.
"Long live the Federation, long live freedom! This is Freedom 444 of the Federation. Please allow the battleship to land. "
"Confirmed. Release."
The Freedom Federation's starport operated in an orderly manner. It didn't know that it had accepted the Death God's invitation.
When the battleship landed at Tut Starport, it went out of control without any warning.
It rushed towards the base of the Litt Legion, which was in the middle of a military drill. It arrived at the airspace above the Litt Legion's base almost instantly. Following that, the Empire's national anthem sounded from the battleship.
"The Empire's national anthem?"
"What's going on?"
"Make it stop!"
"Not good, a spy from the Empire has sneaked in!"
"Cosmos God! The battleship has activated its self-destruct mode! "
"Inform the general —"
Hong.
"What's going on?"
The battleship that left Tut Planet's gravitational field suddenly shook violently. Jack, who was pretending to be asleep, immediately woke up.
His subordinate was puzzled. "General, we didn't detect any meteorite turbulence. This energy wave seems to be coming from Tut Planet."
Unless the planet was destroyed, how could there be such a strong impact that could shake the battleship to this extent? But the destruction of the planet?
What a joke.
Jack's expression changed. He ordered, "Return."
When they rushed back at full speed, the battleship's self-destruct mode had stopped. The military advisor's base, which had been reduced to rubble, was surrounded by white radiation.
The Empire's national anthem was singing in a loop in space.
Brave people, tear apart the vicious insects, drive them out of the Empire's territory.
Our beliefs are united, our warriors are unyielding.
Long live the Empire.
