Counterattack [Interstellar]

Chapter 85:

The plan couldn’t keep up with the changes, and before it was time for lunch, Allen received the news that Balk had returned to the main star.

“So fast.” Pei Yao looked at Alan suspiciously, “Could it be that Tara Star’s affairs have been handled?”

Allen was not so optimistic. He shook his head and said, “No… probably something else.”

What else can you do? Let Barker, who was so busy that he couldn’t even participate in his canonization ceremony, hurried back… Allen’s anxiety grew stronger. He turned to the etiquette officials and said: “Prepare lunch early. After lunch, I will go to the Evda Palace. One trip.”

The ceremonial officer looked at Pei Yao, bowed and asked: “His Royal Highness…”

“I’ll go with Your Highness.” Pei Yao looked at Alan and asked in a low voice, “I want to go with you.”

Allen hesitated and nodded: “Okay.”

The ceremonial officer nodded and turned to take care of the trivial matters. Pei Yao asked worriedly: “What are you worried about? It feels like you are worried.”

“Really?” Allen suppressed the worry in his heart and smiled at Pei Yao, “No, I’m just a little worried about my grandfather. He shouldn’t work like this because he is old.”

Pei Yao said with relief: “Your Majesty trusts the general, so he always entrusts him with important tasks.”

“Trust can’t be said, he just knows his grandfather too well, knowing that he will not do anything against him.”

Remembering Barker’s agreement that Pei Xuan had made with him, Allen smiled lightly and said, “Your Majesty is the emperor. If you sit in that position, of course you have to be more cautious than others…”

“Not necessarily.” Allen smiled at Pei Yao, “When I sit in that position, I will still trust you unconditionally today.”

Pei Yao felt sweet in his heart, and joked Allen rarely: “At this time, you still don’t forget to step on your foot to praise yourself.”

“No,” Allen shook his head and smiled. “I’m not interested in complimenting myself, I’m just making you happy.”

Pei Yao couldn’t help but smile, and Allen rubbed his head: “Come with me in a while. If Alston asks you something and asks you to express any opinions, then you can just keep silent.”

Pei Yao knew it: “I won’t express my position lightly… Your position is my position, and your opinion is my opinion.”

Allen let go and kissed Pei Yao’s lips: “Good.”

When Allen and Peiyao rushed to the Evorda Palace, Admiral Barker had not yet come out of Auston’s study.

“I’m very sorry, your Majesty cannot summon you for the time being.” The butler Cecil bowed to Alan, “Please go to the small tea shop with the major general for some dessert.”

Hearing this, Alan walked to the small tea house, suddenly turned around and corrected: “I hope you can call Pei Yao your Royal Highness.”

Cecil was speechless, and quickly apologized: “I’m very sorry, I’m not used to it… I’m sorry, your Royal Highness.”

Pei Yao was rather helpless to Allen’s truth, but he couldn’t say anything in front of others, so he nodded hurriedly. Only then was Allen satisfied and turned to the small tea shop.

“I and you are not married yet. It’s no problem for Cecil to call me’Major General’.” Pei Yao whispered to Allen after the attendants had gone down. It’s just that you are kind to me because of your face. Strictly speaking, it’s actually not compliant.”

“Since he knows that it is polite to call you this way, does it mean that he doesn’t want to be polite to you?” Alan smiled at Pei Yao and said casually, “Can I think so?”

Pei Yao laughed: “Of course not. Cecil is your majesty’s steward. His words are definitely more rigorous than ordinary people. This is not a big deal… you don’t have to think about it so much.”

“I think too much?” Alan sneered, “I haven’t said the worst thing… He knows the relationship between us and knows what I like to call you better, but he wants to use it in front of me. The major general calls you, which is obviously a provocation to me, saying that he disrespects me is because I am covering up for him! Who knows if he has something wrong with you? He doesn’t want to call you the crown princess, I don’t want to admit that you are my love, what does this mean?!”

Pei Yao was dumbfounded, and said for a long while: “What does Dai… represent?”

“It means that he hates me, he has bad thoughts about you.” Allen concluded, “He doesn’t want to admit our unbreakable relationship.”

Although he has become accustomed to Ellen’s unconventional way of being jealous, Pei Yao couldn’t help being shocked by Ellen’s remarks. It took him a while before Pei Yao swallowed and whispered, “You…you think too much. .”

Alan still didn’t smile on his face, and snorted coldly: “I hope.”

Compared with the relaxed atmosphere in the small tea room, the atmosphere in Alston’s study is much more solemn. Admiral Barker’s expression is not good and he said solemnly: “You hurriedly called me back just to announce this to me?”

Alston got up, walked around in the study and stood behind Bark, patted him on the shoulder and said, “Relax, the bone of Tara Star is too hard, and you have suffered a lot. enough.”

Bark did not move at all, saying: “I would rather continue to chew on this hard bone than to use such an extreme method…Do you know how many people are in Tara Star?”

“It won’t necessarily hurt them.” Allston shook his head. “It’s just a small leak. As long as they can evacuate in time, nothing will happen. Isn’t it good? They withdrew from the mining area, we Only after handling the residual materials, we can start building arsenals in the most mineral-rich areas, and there will be no disputes again. The best of both worlds, right?”

Barker looked at Auston in silence, and whispered: “This is unfair to the Tara people.”

“Okay, they are fair to me? The people of my two divisions have been consumed there for months! You know how much the daily supplies of these two divisions are. You know better than me, who will pay for this loss?” Impatiently said, “I thought about dealing with it peacefully before, but they didn’t have any sincerity. I can’t do anything…otherwise, what do you say? Continue to consume?”

Bark naturally has no better way. Aston glanced at him and slowed down his tone: “The terrain over there is too special. Although their weapons are backward, we do not have the advantage in the war, and I don’t want to buy minerals. Fighting with the aboriginals, this reputation is too bad. I don’t want to make it difficult for you, so I let you come back. You have been working hard these days… Relax, I will send someone over to Tara Star, this kind of thing I Won’t let you touch your hands.”

Balk looked at Auston and said coldly: “Send someone to vent the poison? Go to carry the pot for me?”

Alston’s patience was exhausted, and he said, “Or would you like to come by yourself?” Alston sighed and said, “Okay…Balke, your grandson is now the crown prince, be happy.”

Allston smiled emotionally at Barker: “Marian would be pleased if she knew.”

Thinking of his youngest daughter, Bark, became more irritable. If Alston didn’t find a mistress, if he didn’t have an illegitimate child, Alan would have been the crown prince from beginning to end! Need to suffer these twists and turns?

Barker has always been unable to hide his words and said bluntly: “This probably won’t be anymore. When Marianne passed away, Alan was the crown prince. There is no change compared to the time, so it can’t be said to be comforting.”

Alston had a fever on his face, he smirked and nodded, “Yes, I have forgotten it for so many years.”

“Your Majesty.” Cecil pushed open the door of the study and bowed. “His Royal Highness and His Royal Highness are asking for your call.”

Allston frowned: “What is he here for?”

Cecil shook his head: “His Royal Highness did not say.”

“I don’t have time to see him now.” Alston turned to look at Barker, and hurriedly ended their conversation. “There is no need to discuss this matter anymore. I will choose another person to go over. You… go and see Ai Lun.”

Barker still sighed in his heart, but couldn’t, so he had to pay a military salute: “Yes.”

In the small tea room, Allen smiled and embraced Admiral Barker: “Grandfather.”

“I watched the video of the ceremony. It’s very good.” Bark patted Alan on the shoulder, turned to look at Pei Yao, and smiled lovingly, “Prince Princess.”

Pei Yao nodded: “Admiral.”

“Why did you come back in such a hurry?” Allen asked after the greeting, “Tara Star’s affairs have been dealt with?”

When I mentioned this, the smile that had just floated on Barker’s face disappeared again. There were no outsiders in the small tea room. Barker briefly explained the situation and said: “Although he disagrees with your majesty’s approach… but your majesty If you insist on this, I have nothing to do.”

Barker sighed: “During the battle with Leistine decades ago, Tara Star provided us with a lot of convenience as the rear of the Western Front. It is not a last resort. I really don’t want to do this, let the poison… What a **** disgusting!”

Restin, war, support, complicated terrain, Tara star that few people have set foot on for many years…The doubts entangled in Allen’s heart became clear bit by bit. Allen suddenly looked at Pei Yao, and his heart squatted. He understood the source of his uneasiness for a long time.

Allen turned to look at Admiral Barker, and said, “I am willing to take your place and go to Tara Star.”
