Chapter 399: Star Gold Framed and Imprisoned (47)
Once he really gave the order to revoke it, it would mean declaring war on the emperor openly.
He couldn't, at least not yet.
The Zerg may make a comeback at any time. If he seizes power at this time, the Zerg will definitely take advantage of the opportunity.
He could not gamble the lives of the people of the empire to help him ascend to the throne.
Now is not a good time.
But the frustration of being constrained by others and not being able to do what he wanted to do made Zong Yu very angry.
He drove away everyone in the study and stood alone under the dome, overlooking the endless stream of vehicles and people coming and going under the floating city.
The desire for power in my heart is growing stronger and stronger.
Perhaps from the outside, the position of the crown prince seems glamorous and he is second only to the emperor and above everyone else.
Although it looked like a person, it was actually a mountain, pressing down on the prince, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Zong Yu really couldn't understand why the emperor would rather waste manpower and resources to accidentally kill a person than sit down and discuss the matter with him peacefully.
Zong Yu stood quietly in front of the window like a sculpture.
After a long time, he finally moved.
Sitting and waiting for death is not his style. Even if he doesn't take the initiative to attack, he will still take action to protect the people he wants to protect.
Zong Yu called his adjutant and asked him to look up Freesia's detailed information.
"Let's check the An family to see if there are any weapons that slipped through the net during the inventory."
Soon, the adjutant brought a piece of news.
...
Zong Yu stood in the courtyard of the An family's garden. The garden had been abandoned for several years and no one was taking care of it. Shrubs and flowers grew wildly, and there were a few roses in bud.
The sunlight shone on Zong Yu with his back to him, as if he was coated with a layer of golden holy light. However, his temperament was completely opposite to warmth. He was cold and aloof, and his beauty was out of reach.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on a tiny flying insect.
The next second, the ring in his hand shot out a laser, burning the small flying insect into a few grains of dust.
An He, who was fleeing in the manor in the distance, sensed something and frowned.
Walk through several corridors and come to a warehouse in the corner.
An He pushed open the door and found the entrance to the basement.
An He let Xing Lu go in first, but he stopped at the door.
Xing Lu frowned: "What's wrong?"
An He looked at Xing Lu deeply, and Xing Lu realized something.
"An He, I don't need you to do this for me."
"Lulu."
An He interrupted her.
"I volunteered. You go first. I can get away. Don't worry about me."
Xing Lu walked straight out of the entrance, her face sullen: "Don't dither, just go in quickly and walk in front."
She dragged An He in directly.
The tunnel leading to the basement was not as dark as I had imagined, and the road was quite spacious.
The two did not dare to stop for a moment and ran quickly towards the exit.
"The exit leads to Area A-5, and there's a station right outside."
With the previous experience as a lesson, Xing Lu said to An He, "Summon a sentry to check at the exit first."
An He did as he was told.
The sentinel flies quickly brought the message.
“There are no military deployments at the exit.”
"But with our faces, we will definitely be discovered once we are exposed to surveillance." An He was a little worried.
"I brought this."
Xing Lu took out the facial feature editing mask that Reid had given her before from her pocket, and she also took Reid's other one with her.
But the energy circuit above indicates that the energy is insufficient and needs to be recharged.
Xing Lu estimated that it could last for about ten to twenty minutes. As long as she wore it before exiting, it should be enough.
An He had never seen such a thing before, but he guessed that it was given by that silver-haired show-off man, so he snorted coldly.
"Lulu, Reid doesn't seem reliable at first glance. He disappeared when you got into trouble."
While this person was away, An He secretly put some eye drops on him.
"You don't know that he was constantly teaching his friends the secrets of picking up girls in prison."
Xing Lu: "It's okay, he also learned it from books."
An He: “?”
In a book? In what book?
Soon, the two ran out of the tunnel and quickly put on their masks before going out.
An He watched Xing Lu transform into another person in front of him. Before he had time to marvel at the magic of the mask, he heard movement coming from the back of the tunnel.
The two did not delay any further. Xing Lu soon brought An He to the suspension train station, quickly bought tickets and walked to the platform entrance.
Soon, Xing Lu saw a group of soldiers in military uniforms running into the hall through the transparent glass.
Mid-air reconnaissance aircraft also floated around.
The motive attracted the attention of other civilians, and everyone scattered.
"The next hover car will arrive in two minutes." An He said anxiously.
At this time, the pursuers had already started to rush to the second floor.
"The train is about to arrive at the station. Passengers, please stand outside the yellow line and wait. Thank you for your cooperation."
An He looked not far away and saw the first soldier appeared at the platform entrance with a gun in hand.
An He was nervous and was about to speak——
"An He, look at me."
An He subconsciously looked at Xing Lu.
The extremely black pupil color is like a black hole, so black that there is not even a trace of reflection, and it is bottomless.
An He was stunned.
The next second, Xing Lu pulled his arm and put it on her shoulder, put her other hand around his waist, pulled down his collar and kissed him.
The soft touch was so sudden that even An He didn't react.
The sound of passing footsteps, the hum of the train entering the station, and the sound of the radio broadcasts all turned into vortices, getting farther and farther away.
There was only the sound of his heartbeat, each one louder than the last, even jumping out of his chest and into the boundless universe.
The train stopped steadily in front of the two of them and the door opened.
Xing Lu released his mouth and the hand around his waist. Seeing that An He was still in a daze, she curled her lips and smiled: "Little An He, remember to give the other person a little response next time you kiss."
When An He came to his senses, his ears were burning and he rarely said anything.
Xing Lu turned her head and was about to step into the car, but she stopped the moment she raised her foot.
Crown Prince Zong Yu just stood in the carriage, looking at the two of them quietly, the color in his eyes seemed to be much darker than before.
The next moment, he raised his foot and walked out of the car with an upright posture.
"Where are you going?"
The prince's oppression instantly hit the two of them.
An He's expression changed and he quickly protected Xing Lu behind him.
This action angered Zong Yu.
He knew An He, the youngest son of the An family and the executioner who massacred the An family.
Reid is fine, but when did this kid who hasn't even grown all his hair appear?
He looked at Xing Lu, but the expression on his face didn't reveal his current emotions.
"How many people did you mess with in prison?"
Xing Lu smiled slightly: "Guess?"
An He held Xing Lu's hand tightly, like a small beast baring its fangs and claws at its enemy:
"You've got the wrong person. She was with me in the second half of the night when the Xing family was massacred! She's not the murderer."
Little did he know that this sentence made Zong Yu even more furious.
But the angrier the prince became, the colder his expression became.
