"What are you up to now?"
Huai Caoshi's brows furrowed tightly as she listened to the voice that came from somewhere in the dark room. She was at a loss as she forced out a cold voice from between her teeth. Her Highness, who had always been calm, confident, and proud, did not notice that she had repeated two meaningless sentences in such a short amount of time.
Master Fan, who was standing outside the room with his thighs bared and proud of himself, ignored her and left while humming a tune. She did not know where he went.
Huai Caoshi felt as if a bullet had been fired, but it had landed on a pile of mindless cow dung. Her expression became extremely ugly, and after a moment of silence, she walked towards the wall on her left. She took a deep breath, and the thin body under her military uniform trembled slightly. With a light snort, she slammed her arm into the wall like a heavy hammer!
Smoke and dust rose, and the dust fell, revealing the cold and threatening alloy inner wall and the faint imprint of a palm.
Huai Cao Shi frowned as she looked at the wall in shock. She gently rubbed her wrist and wondered how thick the wall was built by the madman. She had hit it with all her might, but it did not break the wall. The building did not even tremble!
She was about to embark on the journey to resist the Federal Army at night. She did not have the time to wait for that madman to calm down. In fact, in this absurd predicament and the fact that she was imprisoned on Tianjing, Her Highness had forgotten how to write the word 'calm'.
The heavy dust-remover easily lifted her slender wrist and slammed her against the door. She grabbed the hard modern-style metal flower stand and violently smashed it against the wall again and again. The entire room was filled with flying debris like a hail of bullets and terrifying loud noises that rang out from time to time.
Master Fan was lying on a chair in the white courtyard outside the specially made prison room. His bare thighs were spread wide open as he drooled over the armrest. He held a teapot in his hand as he listened to the sounds coming from the room and looked at the smoke and dust coming out from the alloy wall. He said angrily, "Did you see that? I told you that the young people nowadays are too vigorous and too beastly. I told you to double the thickness, but you didn't believe me. If the alloy thickness is still the original plan, not to mention my niece, this terrifying female monster, I'm afraid that even Xu Le won't be able to contain her. "
"But it's not a good idea to keep smashing it like this. Firstly, it feels a little dangerous. Secondly, such a loud noise will attract some people's attention," the white-haired old butler said respectfully.
"That's true." Master Fan retracted his leg and thought for a moment. He put down his teacup, lit a cigarette, and said leisurely, "Turn on the high voltage for me. Also, tell the people inside to avoid any accidents."
…
…
In the gloomy room, Huai Caoshi was still silently throwing a tantrum. All the objects in the room that could cause damage to the walls had all become weapons in her hands. She valiantly slammed them against the alloy wall. Then, like waves crashing against a black reef, they turned into white foam and scattered everywhere.
Just as she was about to grab the last set of pear wood table and chair in the room, a tired and helpless voice suddenly sounded from the dark corner of the room.
"Don't smash it. According to my judgment, we may have to rely on this set of table and chair to eat prisoner's meals for a few days."
Huai Caoshi's fingers that touched the surface of the smooth wooden table slightly stiffened. She narrowed her eyes and looked over. Looking at the guy squatting in the corner like a distressed beggar, she remembered that Master Fan had said that he had caught this person.
The room was very quiet. Xu Le slowly stood up along the wall. His face was a little haggard, and his dyed brown hair was a little withered yellow. He looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness, but also like he had been starved for countless days.
For some reason, seeing that the other person was also inexplicably imprisoned here, Huai Caoshi's mood calmed down a lot. She felt a lot more balanced, and her narrowed eyes gradually relaxed.
The two of them didn't speak. They silently looked at each other in the room for a long time. The pursuer and the one being chased on the road of escape had to accept the fact that they were now both prisoners, and locked up together.
"Hello." Xu Le was the first to break the silence, forcing a smile.
Huai Caoshi lowered her chin slightly and replied, "Hello, long time no see."
It was a very simple, calm, and even plain greeting between two people in this kind of relationship. However, it was precisely because they were people with such temperaments that the absurdity was actually natural.
…
…
Outside the prison, someone informed them that the wall had been connected to high-voltage electricity and asked His Highness and Lieutenant Colonel Xu Le to pay attention to their personal safety. After that, there was no more sound.
Using a floating hair that was burned to ashes, Huai Caoshi confirmed that Master Fan Manor wasn't lying. She stopped her actions of destroying the queen. According to her inference, since Xu Le couldn't escape, the possibility of her being able to break through the wall was not high.
"What kind of lock can't even be opened by you? Or did you forget to open the toolbox? "
Huai Caoshi gently brushed the dust off her military uniform and sat in the chair to ask a very important question. After Sang Shuhai joined hands to escape, she had long confirmed that Xu Le had inherited and even surpassed Nasri's mechanical talent, so it was very difficult to believe that there was a lock in the world that could stop him.
"I'm prepared. I brought the most commonly used tools and equipment." Xu Le sat down on the other side of the table and narrowed his eyes at the alloy door not far in front of him. After a moment of silence, he sighed and said, "It's just that the lock used for this alloy door … is a large alloy rod."
"You mean … the most primitive kind of door lock?" Huai Caoshi asked with confusion.
"Correct. The mechanical education I received since I was young is that the most primitive tools built according to the simplest laws of physics are the least likely to break. The tools mentioned here also include locks."
…
…
Time ticked by. The two of them sat across from each other at the table, not saying a word. The soft light above their heads shone down. They didn't know how much the sun outside the room had shifted. They didn't know what the person on the other side of the table would do next. They also didn't know how long it would take for this dark and strange situation to end. Even now, these two most powerful experts of the younger generation still didn't understand how and why the Great Teacher had captured them.
A plate of fruit and a few glasses of water appeared on the transmission table on the alloy wall. Xu Le saw that Huai Caoshi's face was gloomy and didn't seem to have any intention of doing anything. He sighed in his heart and took them and placed them on the table. At this time, an ultra-thin scroll of light unfolded on the wall. A voice that sounded particularly crazy at this time appeared in front of the two of them together with a pair of white legs.
Without waiting for the Great Teacher outside the room to speak, Huai Caoshi suddenly stood up and said angrily and gloomily, "My subordinates are still waiting outside the mansion. Everyone knows that I'm here. I don't care what's wrong with you and why you've locked me up, but you can't keep me locked up forever, otherwise …"
"Otherwise what?"
On the screen, the Great Teacher's charming face flashed with a trace of embarrassment and anger. He shouted loudly, "I indeed forgot about this problem, but can't I keep you locked up forever?! Don't forget that this is the Great Teacher Fan Manor. Don't forget the blood oath. Without my permission, who the f * ck dares to barge in? For more than seven hundred years, not a single emperor has dared to break this rule. Do you think your father dares? "
Xu Le, who had been carefully guarding against Huai Caoshi's sudden rage, quietly listened to the conversation between her and the Great Teacher Fan. Although he didn't know what the blood oath was, he could roughly guess that it was some kind of agreement between the Great Teacher Fan Manor and the imperial family. Knowing that the imperial family didn't dare to casually enter the Great Teacher Fan Manor, although he was also one of the prisoners, he still calmed down a little. Then he thought about how the Great Teacher Fan Manor had said that for more than seven hundred years, not a single emperor had dared to enter the Great Teacher Fan Manor without permission, but he just happened to enter last night. It could be said that he was extremely daring, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.
"F * ck, back then, my sister wanted to divorce him, but he refused. Did he think that this daddy wouldn't dare to take revenge?" The Great Teacher on the screen thumped his chest loudly.
Huai Caoshi painfully held her forehead, clenching her left fist. She helplessly said, "How could the Holy Emperor allow a divorce? Besides, this is already something from countless years ago. Why do you still hold a grudge? This is a matter between husband and wife, and even a daughter like me can't do anything about it … Don't tell me you want to take revenge on the empire over this matter? I implore you to quickly wake up. I still have to hurry to the frontlines. "
The Great Teacher Fan ignored her stern questioning. After taking a deep breath, he said with an incomparable intoxication, "Frontlines? War? No, before this war is over, don't even think about leaving this specially made prison cell. "
"Why?!" Huai Caoshi and Xu Le asked at the same time. Then, they looked at each other, narrowed their eyes, and turned their heads.
"Xu Le, if you go back and the people of the Federation know that you're still alive, that Mr. President who loves you to the bone will definitely mold you into a god-like hero. The technical supervisor who originally enjoyed the treatment of a division commander will definitely be promoted to the commander of the new Seventeenth Division."
"The new Seventeenth Division of the Federation has already landed on the administrative planet of the Prune County Star System. It is the main assault force of this war zone. To become the commander of the Federation's main division at such a young age, besides Li Pifu, who else has done this?"
If Xu Le could successfully escape from the empire and return to the Federation, or perhaps return to the Federal forces, then what the Great Teacher said might happen. But when he heard these words, he didn't feel the slightest bit of satisfaction, only heaviness and anxiety. His comrades had already attacked the empire's borders, and Old White and the brothers of Group Seven were fighting with their lives on the bloody battlefield, but he had no way of fighting alongside them …
Huai Caoshi had long known about this battlefield intelligence, so she didn't have much of a reaction.
"And Your Highness, you are the god of the Imperial armies. The morale of the soldiers and your personal strength are unparalleled in the world. This time, you will lead 500 Wolf Fang mecha to form a new mecha column and head to the war zone. You will definitely illuminate the heavens and spread your might far and wide."
Only now did Xu Le know that this noble princess beside him was actually going to put herself in danger and head to the battlefield to fight. He silently thought that the people of the empire had always been used to forming full mecha tactical units, but the Federation had only gradually changed their tactical concepts after the successful development of the MX two years ago. It was completely conceivable that Huai Caoshi, with her terrifying combat ability, and a group of beast-like Wolf Fang mecha, would bring heavy casualties to the Federal forces on the planet's surface. Unless Madman Li faced her directly, there would be only a sliver of a chance …
"But what's more important for you two youngsters is not your role on the battlefield, but your status in your respective countries and the influence you may have on this universe in the future."
Xu Le, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth and said, "I'm very afraid that you would compare me with the princess of your country, but I hope you can get to the point."
"I hate war. My family hates war the most. I love literature, peace, and love." Grand Master Fan raised both of his hands in excitement on the screen and said loudly, "If I can lock up the two most dangerous enemies in the universe, who will definitely have the most important positions in the future, and make them friends, then this war that is destined to last for many years will definitely be greatly reduced in cruelty, and even … peace!"
"Naive mental patient!" Xu Le's expression was blank from shock, and he subconsciously said softly.
"Crazy immature child!" Huai Caoshi was still holding her forehead in pain as she cursed in a low voice.
"I'm not naive, and I'm not crazy."
Grand Master Fan stared at the camera very seriously and said, "If you two die in this war, or become truly irreconcilable enemies of life and death, this matter will really be very difficult to resolve, so I have to do my best to keep you alive and get along peacefully. Your peace, perhaps in the distant future, will be the peace of the universe."
Hearing this, Huai Caoshi put down her hand that was covering her forehead. The flames in her narrowed eyes seemed to want to burn down everything in the world. She stared at the familiar and crazy face on the screen, and her tone was extremely cold. She said coldly, "Don't forget, you are a citizen of the Empire. You imprisoned me here, and what will happen to the war on the frontlines if you lose? The history of the Empire should not pay the price of your insanity with blood. "
"We are not citizens of the Empire," Grand Master Fan calmly replied outside the room.
"From the moment you came here, you are citizens of the Empire!" Huai Caoshi coldly rebuked. "Don't forget that your blood and the blood of the royal family have long been inseparably mixed together. I have the blood of Grand Master Fan's family in me, but your mother is also a member of the royal family!"
"That's right." Grand Master Fan was silent for a long time before he said, "Living here, I am a citizen of this place, I am a citizen of the Empire, but His Majesty and you should both know that the comprehensive strength of the Empire and the Federation is too different. Even if we use the vast universe as a strategic space to retreat in exchange for a chance to breathe, how far can we retreat? In the end, the Empire will not be able to win this war. "
"It has been decades. When has the Federation's invasion not been repelled by us?" Huai Caoshi raised her clear eyebrows slightly and replied slowly and with great strength.
"The Federation has never fought a war before, so their army was a pile of shit at the beginning. However, the war has trained them. The Federal forces that have passed through the space channel have become stronger each time. In fact, in the last war, Li Pifu and his disciples had already seized the absolute victory."
Grand Master Fan's expression gradually turned desolate as he said faintly, "Now that Nasri is dead, who can go to the headquarters of the Federal forces and cause a huge explosion?"
Huai Caoshi's eyelids drooped slightly and then lifted up. They were inexplicably bright. She said calmly and confidently, "Me."
"You can't." Grand Master Fan said firmly, "Because you are not a citizen of the Federation. You are not Li Pifu's brother. You … are not him!"
Huai Caoshi was silent. Xu Le was also silent. He was somewhat unsettled by the mention of the uncle's name and the huge explosion. Was the Federation's failure last time really because of the uncle's betrayal?
…
…
Time passed bit by bit, just like the dew on the glass on the surface of the pear wood table slid down slowly and disappeared into the wood grain.
The Grand Master on the light screen got rid of his previous desolate expression. With a hint of a playful smile, he said, "If you can't be friends, then get married."
This sentence was like a chain of thunder, hitting Xu Le and Huai Caoshi so hard that they raised their heads in shock. They looked at each other speechlessly, and two lines of tears silently flowed down from their hearts.
"Xu Le, you should have read Schiller's crazy infatuating ancient knight novel. You should know that everything in the world is like a shadow woven from bubbles. Only love is real."
"Xiao Shi is a little older than you, but there is no problem with an older sister falling in love with a younger brother. As a loyal fan and the best researcher of Schiller's plays, I think you should know that since Jian Shui'er is your sister, your best choice is her."
"Of course, Xiao Shi is not as pretty as her sister, but I think this cell will give you plenty of time to cultivate your feelings."
"Xiao Shi, seriously and without prejudice, think about my suggestion. Sacrifice your love to save the entire universe …"
After saying this, the light screen slowly pulled up. The Grand Master once again floated away, leaving this secluded space to the young man and woman with strange expressions.
…
…
"Just now, he said that I'm not as pretty as my sister. Who is this sister he's referring to?"
To Xu Le's surprise, Huai Caoshi did not angrily pick up the pear wood table and launch the most terrifying attack in the universe. Instead, she sat quietly on the chair and asked such a question.
"According to him, Jian Shui 'er is your half-sister from the same mother but different fathers."
"That is to say, Jian Shui'er is Nasri's daughter and your half-sister?"
Xu Le shrugged. He did not want to admit it, but he also did not want to clear up this troublesome relationship again. He was surprised to find that Huai Caoshi could actually immediately determine who Jian Shui'er's father was. It seemed that the affair between the empress and the uncle was not an absolute secret that no one knew.
Huai Caoshi narrowed her eyes and asked him, "What is this Eightfold Symphony?"
Xu Le woke up and thought of a famous boring plot in Schiller's knight novel. Looking at the cell that was very similar to the plot and the Her Highness across the table in a neat military uniform, he was immediately dumbfounded. He sucked in a breath of cold air and cursed, "What a f * cking lunatic!"
"He has always been a lunatic." Huai Caoshi said expressionlessly.
Xu Le looked at her delicate facial features and his fingers trembled slightly. He thought to himself, If you've seen Schiller's Eightfold Symphony, you definitely won't be as relaxed as you are now.
He warned with extreme seriousness, "Don't eat fruits, don't drink water."
