47, Chapter 47
Of course, Ino didn't believe Old Arowana's lies, but since he couldn't find a way out, he had no choice but to go back with the two of them first and then make plans.
At this time, the empire was almost turned upside down by his disappearance.
The attack occurred in the most prosperous Central District of the Imperial City. Many people saw it, and even innocent citizens passing by were implicated. Dozens of people were killed or injured.
In addition, someone who was not afraid of death recorded the video and posted it online, which caused panic among many people.
The public did not know the inside story, they only knew that such a heinous attack could occur in the central area of the Imperial Capital Star, which is known as the safest. It was simply terrifying.
Has the murderer been caught? Are all the people in the security department of the Imperial City Star just doing it for free? I heard that in the end, the situation was stabilized by the space force stationed on the Imperial City Star. Is the Special Security Department just a decoration?
While the people condemned the attackers, they also questioned the emperor.
Scott was so angry that he vomited blood. He really vomited blood.
As soon as he was discharged from the hospital, he learned about Ino's arrest and almost went back to the hospital.
"What do people from the Special Security Department do? Let Li Xiaogun come see me!"
Li Xiao is the head of the Special Security Department and the general person in charge. He was the one who gave the green light when Yue Zhan and Ino wanted to see Unas.
After learning about Freeman's stupidity, he was so angry that he wanted to behead him on the spot.
"Are you out of your mind, or are you stupid? The Major General asked you to blockade the port, why didn't you block it? Do you think you are very knowledgeable and experienced? Have you ever been on the battlefield? Do you know that the attackers are probably not pure
Humans, but orcs, or sea people? Do you have experience in dealing with them?"
Li Xiao did not save any face, and directly scolded Freeman in front of everyone in the emergency response team of the Special Security Division until his face turned red. After the scolding, he was still not relieved, and said: "I don't know what the higher ups are thinking.
Let you, this arrogant man, be the leader of the emergency team."
Freeman thought that he was his boss, and the people really protested fiercely because of this matter, so he tolerated being scolded for a few words. But after enduring it, he still couldn't hold it back, and choked out: "I was wrong.
But what you said is going too far, it is insulting my character!"
"Insulting your character?" Li Xiao almost laughed angrily and said, "It seems that you don't know the seriousness of the matter. Let's not mention that the little prince was arrested, but because you didn't handle it in time, dozens of citizens were killed or injured.
Just wait to be dismissed and prosecuted."
After saying that, he pushed people away and walked out with a sullen face.
Li Xiao felt that he was also unlucky. This Freeman was born into a noble family and had only been transferred to the special security department for less than a week. He was usually arrogant and arrogant, looking down on this and that. He thought that this person had a family background and was difficult to deal with.
Let's go, why don't we wear it down before we use it? Who would have thought that something would happen before it even wears off.
After scolding Freeman, he sighed and had to rush to the palace to be scolded.
When Scott saw him coming, he scolded him all over his face. After scolding him, he asked, "Has Freeman dealt with it?"
Li Xiao understood and quickly said: "Immediately remove him from his post, investigate and prosecute him for serious dereliction of duty."
Scott was still upset and gritted his teeth and said: "He should have been shot twice on the spot."
After speaking, he asked again: "Is there any information on the whereabouts of Ino?"
"This..." Li Xiao said cautiously: "We are contacting the Space Force and plan to form a joint case handling team."
In fact, Yuezhan took away all the people they caught and left no one for them. He called several times to apologize, but he couldn't get through. It is estimated that the other party did not intend to let them intervene.
Scott closed his eyes and finally said: "Then leave it to Yue Zhan to investigate, and the people in your special security department will take care of it."
Li Xiao knew that they didn't do this well, which angered Yue Zhan. To put it harshly, they were wiping their special security department's butt. He didn't say much at the moment and hurried back to deal with Freeman.
Yuezhan hadn't slept a wink for several days and nights. He had been staring at it for as long as the unmanned ship was tracking him, and his heart gradually became calmer from the initial uneasiness.
After tens of thousands of investigations, they finally determined that a suspicious spaceship had landed on Starfish, but it soon lost sight of it.
Yuezhan lowered his eyes and suddenly said to the adjutant: "Let the seventh, ninth, tenth, and eleventh fleets be on standby, and follow me to Haixing later."
The adjutant was slightly startled when he heard this, and subconsciously advised: "Why don't you take a rest?"
"We'll rest on the way." Yuezhan stood up and walked directly out.
"But without permission from above, such a transfer..." The adjutant followed behind him, his tone a little worried.
Before he finished speaking, the command hall suddenly fell silent. He stopped, looked at the source of the silence, and found that the emperor had arrived.
He didn't move, nor did he salute like the others, he just looked at the other person quietly.
Scott actually didn't say anything. He was probably shameless. After all, it was his subordinate who made the mistake.
"How can we pursue the thugs hiding in Starfish with only four fleets?" Scott opened his mouth and directly characterized the matter as "finding the perpetrators of a major terrorist attack in the Central District" and said: "I signed a special agreement
The order has been passed by the military headquarters. Major General Yue, please be sure to capture these bandits and bring them back to the empire for trial."
Yuezhan shook his head, but nodded again and said, "Your Majesty, please take a moment to speak."
Scott frowned, but still agreed.
The two of them quickly entered an office, closed the door, and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate to bring too many fleets on this trip."
"What do you mean?" Scott asked.
"You and I both know that the people who took His Highness away were from the Hai Kingdom. According to my observation, the Hai Kingdom has no intention of going to war with the Empire. His Highness may also be mediating this matter. At this time, if we rush to lead the army to suppress the situation, it will be detrimental to His Highness.
Yue Zhan analyzed, his tone unable to hide his tiredness.
Scott was silent, thinking of Li Ya, and finally nodded in agreement.
Yuezhan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Since Your Majesty has no intention of starting a war, can you leave Unas to me temporarily?"
"That turtle?" Scott was unhappy when he mentioned this person and said, "What do you want him to do?"
Yue Zhan said: "He is from Haiguo. Maybe he can help us find the way to Haiguo."
"He will say?" Scott was very doubtful.
Yue Zhan: "Whether he says it or not, we have to find a way to pry it out."
This is true.
Scott nodded immediately and agreed. Before leaving, he suddenly patted Yue Zhan's shoulder twice, and held the other person's hand tightly: "We must, we must save Ino."
At the end of the sentence, his voice even trembled slightly.
Yue Zhan was not moved by the emperor's true feelings, but he missed Ino. His eyes couldn't help but darken, and his hoarse voice was a little uneasy, and he said softly: "I will definitely do it."
The emperor patted him heavily on the shoulder again. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly: "By the way, there is someone you must take with you."
Yue Zhan frowned subconsciously and heard the emperor say: "His name is Hu Yichen. The underwater combat system of the mecha has been improved recently, but it is too late to upgrade the mecha now. I want him to go to the ship. How many can be upgraded?"
.”
So it's him? Yue Zhan thought to himself.
He knew that this person was talented, not to mention that he was recommended by Ino. After thinking about it, he nodded and agreed.
After being ready, the fleet set off quickly. As the commander-in-chief of the Third Army, Koshikawa Lin also gave the green light for the trip.
On the way, Yuezhan met the eldest princess's group of star thieves again.
The other party somehow knew about Ino's arrest, but he didn't know where he was. He guessed that he would definitely go to save people, so he just waited outside the star gate to gather information.
Knowing that she was well-intentioned, Yue Zhan still said: "If Her Royal Highness the Princess wants Haiguo to think that we are going to fight, thus implicating Her Royal Highness Ino, then just bring so many fleets."
The eldest princess: "..."
She hesitated for a while, and finally brought only the elite fleet.
But not long after setting off, she discovered that although Yuezhan only brought four fleets, there were still a large force behind them.
The eldest princess thought to herself: This is obviously to...be polite before fighting. He is quite insidious. You must never face such a person in the future.
But thinking about Ino, she quickly became anxious again.
At this time, Ino had already spent nearly ten days as an ascetic in the Neptune Palace.
You can't contact the outside world here, you can only use the local area network of Haiguo. The dramas produced by Haiguo people are very boring and not bloody at all.
The food that people from Haiguo eat is seaweed, kelp, shrimp, crab, fish and shellfish...
Although seafood is delicious, it is boring to eat it every day, not to mention that he lives in the Sea (Water) Palace and cannot light a fire to heat it, so all he eats is raw fish.
On this day, Ino vomited for a while, dropped a few more pearls, pursed her lips, and pretended to be uncomfortable: "I don't feel well, I don't like eating these."
After a pause, he thought that these people from the sea country were particularly looking forward to him giving birth to a little fish baby, and he lied a little guiltily: "Maybe the little fish baby doesn't like to eat either."
Your Highness can't eat because of morning sickness? How can this be possible?
The seafood people who were responsible for taking care of his daily life panicked and hurriedly reported to Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu had not shown up recently, but when he heard that he was not eating well, he immediately became worried and went to discuss it with Lao Arowana.
"Is it possible that you are not used to Haiguo's food?" Zhang Yu frowned.
Just like although he has lived in the Empire and the Federation for decades, he is still not used to the food of the Empire and the Federation.
The old dragon fish twirled his beard and said: "It's possible, oh, it would be great if the old turtle was here. He once brought up Princess Li Ya, so he must know how to raise a mermaid."
"Otherwise, let His Highness move to the underground palace, which is similar to a human city and can make fire." Zhang Yu suggested again.
The old arowana thought for a moment and said, "That's all it can do."
So, Ino lived on the Coral Reef Throne for a few days before moving again.
This is exactly what he wants.
He found that most of the people from the Sea Kingdom in the Neptune Palace had very primitive living habits. After wandering around the Neptune Palace for so long, he was surprised not to find an underwater spaceship.
He deduced from this that the passage was probably not in the Neptune Palace, but in a place... where there was no water.
Think about it, the seabed is not suitable for the development of high-tech manufacturing, especially the manufacturing of airships, mechas, etc.
This Sea Palace looks more like a holiday palace. The real core area of Sea Kingdom is probably in the underground palace they say.
Of course, Ino didn't show any eagerness. After successfully moving to the palace, he still maintained the same frequency as before, asking "How is the passage construction going?" three times a day. When he heard that there was no progress, he sighed and started ordering food.
"Your Highness, life here is no different from a human city. There are even ground ingredients transported by air. Whatever you want to eat, you can ask the chef to make it." Old Arowana held a small book and introduced it to him seriously.
The small book is the notes left by the old turtle when he raised Princess Le Ya. This is precious, first-hand information on how to raise a mermaid. The old dragon fish has been studying it very seriously recently, even more seriously than he studied mecha weapons when he was young.
Ino glanced at Zhang Yu and said in a thoughtful tone: "I've been craving for spicy food lately, maybe it's because Xiao Yubao wants to eat it. Hey, is the iron plate squid tentacles okay? Put more cumin and more spicy."
