Counterattack [Interstellar]

Chapter 50:

Soon after learning that Catherine was about to be shot, Ellen and Peiyao received another even more exciting news: His Majesty Alston will visit Ellen’s mansion to visit his younger son who had been “missed” by him before. .

“Alston has probably been stimulated too much lately.” Allen shook his head and sighed slightly. “I doubt he will bring a nuclear bomb to die with me.”

Pei Yao couldn’t help laughing: “Please be careful, Your Highness.”

“Seriously… this is the first time he has come to my palace.” Allen laughed mockingly. “He used to tell me to go there for anything… Forget it, come if you want.”

Pei Yao thought for a while and said, “Is it necessary to prepare something?”

“What are you going to prepare?” Allen asked back, “The drum team?”

“Haha…” Edward, who has always been self-sufficient, couldn’t hold back a laugh. He was embarrassed and quickly apologized, “Sorry, I’ve lost my courtesy, Your Highness.”

Pei Yao pretended not to see it very kindly. Allen smiled and forgave Edward, turned his head and said to Pei Yao: “There is nothing to prepare, but there is one thing you need to cooperate with me.”

Pei Yao nodded: “Please give your instructions.”

“For a while, no matter what he says to you, don’t rashly agree.” Allen pursed his lower lip. “He is here to negotiate terms. You are too soft-hearted to be his opponent. You can remain silent when the time is right, no matter what he does. ask you.”

Pei Yao naturally listened to Alan and promised: “Please rest assured, I will.”

“Also.” Alan smiled in his eyes, “I have said many times, don’t talk to me so virtuously, Major General, everyone in the empire knows that we are already lovers, but you don’t have this self-consciousness.

Pei Yao glanced at Edward embarrassedly, and said bitterly: “Yes, Your Highness.”

“Tsk…” Ellen said helplessly, “You should call me Ellen, or something more intimate, forget it, you probably are not used to it, please change it slowly.”

Pei Yao nodded as if he was amnesty.

Not long after, Aston’s aircraft landed on the square outside the palace. Aston hadn’t rested in these two days. His face was very bad. He was obviously still angry, but he saw Alan’s still purple neck and The corners of his scabbed mouth didn’t have much to say, after all, he was the first to make Alan’s picture, and he was always a little bit unreasonable.

Alan looked at Alston’s defensive eyes with amusement in his heart, afraid that he would turn over the old account?

“It’s just a small injury. I didn’t expect you to come to see me in person. I am very scared, Your Majesty.” Allen bowed slightly and smiled gracefully, “Please come in.”

Regardless of how he wished to die in private, he still wanted to give each other a bit of face in front of outsiders. Alston was satisfied with Alan’s knowledge and nodded and walked through the palace gate.

Edward specially cleaned up the small entertainment room on the third floor to entertain Alston. The carpets and curtains in the room were replaced with new ones. The gold vase in the middle of the tea table was also inserted with newly picked hydrangea from the garden. Hua, Alston picked up the exquisite teacup and took a sip of tea. Allen did not take him slowly, which made him feel a little better.

“You should know?” Alston put down his teacup. “About the execution of Mrs. Catherine.”

The two of them were very tacitly silent about what they had done before. Allen nodded lazily: “I see, to be honest, I was a little surprised. Although crimes are real and real, the empire always treats the guides who violate the law. There is a lot of tolerance, and will be directly sentenced to shooting…” Allen smiled but said, “You are really quick and resolute this time.”

Catherine committed more than just these two things. Someone stepped forward to report the incident the day after the incident. If you postpone it, there will probably be a second and third. Baita can’t bear so much negative news, Oss. Dayton couldn’t stand it even more, so he slashed the mess before the incident had a greater impact, quickly sentenced Catherine, and used her blood to calm the anger of the people.

Allen knew that he couldn’t hide this from Alan, and he was too lazy to hide it, and nodded, “Yes, someone has to take responsibility. Mrs. Catherine has lived up to my expectations. Haha, don’t look at me like that. Mrs. Catherine has been a little arrogant over the years. Yes, I know what Bettina is conspiring with her, but she privately persuades the guide and arranges the blind date I do not know.” Alston narrowed his eyes slightly and let out a long sigh: “If you know… I will never tolerate her until now.”

“But now you know.” Allen tapped the desk lightly and said lightly, “I think this matter will probably make you determined to further rectify and reform the Guidance Academy.”

Allen looked at Ellen warily: “What do you mean? Ellen… It’s my bottom line to give you an Alice, don’t try to reach the White Tower anymore.”

Asking Allen to manage the single guide of the entire empire, Aston would not even think about it. Allen sneered: “You think too much. I have a proposal here. I hope you can think about it.”

Allen introduced the proposal that Cecilia, who had previously negotiated with Pei Yao to allow Cecilia’s situation, not to attend the blind date party and directly graduated to Alston. Before Alston expressed his opinion, Allen said first: “This is Pei. Major General Yao proposed.”

Auston didn’t want to refuse, but after hearing the last sentence, he hesitated and said: “You can introduce more details… I will think about it.”

Allen frowned slightly, and the previous doubts came to mind again…Why is Alston so tolerant to Pei Yao?

Although he loves to be jealous, Allen knows that Alston cannot have any ulterior ideas about Pei Yao, otherwise he would not send Pei Yao to his two sons again and again, but apart from this, What can it be? Pei Yao is actually Alston’s illegitimate child? This is even more impossible, not to mention that the time is not right. Alan has seen the photos of his parents in Pei Yao’s collection before. Pei Yao and his father are almost carved out of the same model. The problem of blood must not exist.

Or maybe, Alston had been in love with one of Pei Yao’s parents before? Pei Yao’s mother is a very good guide, and she looks very charming… but it doesn’t make sense. According to Auston’s temper, she will probably be snatched away. How can she endure her being marked by others and give birth Where’s Pei Yao.

Allen temporarily suppressed the confusion in his heart, and then explained the details that he had discussed with Pei Yao to Alston. Alston hesitated, obviously hesitating.

“There have been vicious accidents in the White Tower. The guides and the people need us to make some practical and effective measures, instead of just venting our anger for everyone. Killing Catherine makes people feel very happy, but then what? New? The dean of the company will be in the position, and everything will be business as usual before long.” Allen said sharply and aggressively, “The system remains the same, and things will still happen when someone goes up.”

Allston frowned and reprimanded: “Everyone can say high-sounding words, but have you ever thought about the difficulties of actual operation? Do you know how many people’s interests will be involved in this? Hastily shaken the recognized acquiescence system that has existed for centuries, It is bound to cause a series of unfavorable reactions, have you considered these?”

“Sickness is hard to get rid of, so do you have to indulge it all the time? You are not indifferent to this one, but every time you think of the big troubles behind this, you are afraid.” Allen poked at Auston’s sore spot, “How much Regimes are all defeated by the weakness of those in power who are unwilling to touch on the problems that have accumulated for a long time.”

“If you must follow in their footsteps, then I have nothing to say.” Allen shook his head and smiled: “A big empire is going to die from the emperor’s procrastination.”

“What are you talking about?!” Alston endured several times, but was aroused by Allen’s anger, slapped the table and furiously said, “Is the injury on your face healed?! Did you owe me to educate you again? ”

“Your Majesty.” Pei Yao, who was silent for a long time, interjected suddenly, “You promised me before that you will never do anything to your Highness again. I hope you can keep your promise.”

Looking at Pei Yao’s calm face, remembering what he had promised Pei Yao before, Aston lost his anger in an instant. He picked up his teacup and drank it, and waved his hand impatiently: “Okay, continue to say…”

The guide question has become more acute in the past two years, and Alston did not pay attention to it. Allen continued the topic just now. After that, Pei Yao told Alston some of his views on the reform of the existing system of the White Tower. The three are rare. After discussing it calmly for a long time, Alston ordered Pei Yao to sort out the final resolutions of the people and prepare to send them to the House for the next review.

“The official business is over, now it’s time to talk about private affairs.” Allen looked at Alan, “Bettina… She will pay a lot of fines for this matter, and her father and brother will surrender all the military power in their hands. , You should be satisfied with this result, right?”

Without waiting for Alan to speak, Aston said first: “Alan, don’t take an inch. I endured your righteous act of extermination because this report really brought up a lot of problems. How much trouble did you cause me this time? You know in your heart that you will accept it as soon as you see it, and don’t force me to settle the old account with you.”

Allen sneered: “Your Majesty, I have to correct it. Bettina is your mistress, not mine. She has nothing to do with me, so please don’t use the term like righteous killing of relatives. If you must qualitatively define this matter. If it’s just a stress response after I was hurt, you don’t have to threaten me. I said that next time, my revenge will only be crazier. If your mistress is not afraid, you can try again. I’ll be waiting anytime. ”

Allen tried to comfort him, not to fight Alan, this would only make him mad a few times, Allen nodded: “Okay, when I didn’t say…I have another thing to inform you today.”

“Everda Palace will host another dinner in a few days.” Allen refused to Orston and said directly, “Bettina will not come. It is just a pure family banquet that only the royal family will attend. Then you and Pei Yao It’s all coming… I don’t want to see any more news about royal discord, understand?”

Allen wanted to restore the image of the royal family in the people’s mind. Allen knew that his goal today has been achieved. He didn’t care about meeting the small request of Alston. He nodded: “Okay, I will go with the Major General. of.”
