Enemy attack?
People in high positions have a strong sense of crisis.
Afraid of death.
I can’t bear to die either.
Zhong Tianque pushed away the woman who was in a dazed state when she heard the piercing siren, pulled a blanket around her body, and shouted: "Come here, come here"
Qian Tai'an rushed in with a group of people and asked urgently: "Your Highness, are you okay?"
Zhong Tianque was on a visit, and naturally he, the number one adviser of Guangming Pavilion, had to follow him. around.
"What's going on? What happened? Who attacked us?"
"It's a pirate ship. The specific identity needs to be further verified." Guards Captain Chen Mengxi reported aloud.
"Pirate ship? How dare the pirate ship attack us?" Zhong Tianque was furious, with an incredible look on his face.
The sea of stars is vast, with channels and interests for various countries and organizations.
Of course, there are also those galactic pirates who sneak around in dark corners, block roads and rob passing ships.
However, their main targets are those lone transport ships or small travel ships.
Hidden away faster than anyone else when encountering regular troops.
Hijacking the Royal Fleet, is this not asking for death?
However, they just did it
"I also find it strange. This has never happened before." Zhong Changming, the captain of the Vulcan, also rushed over. , with a solemn expression and a look of thought on his face: "When we completely defeat them, we will know the reason and who ordered them."
"Go and stop them, I will capture them alive." If you want to see people alive, you want to see corpses if you die."
"Yes." Zhong Changming agreed: "I have ordered the Sirius destroyers to outflank them and catch them all."
"A bunch of people who don't know how to live or die." Zhong Tianque scolded angrily.
He hated these pirates for interrupting his good deeds. It was very uncomfortable to have an arrow on the string but not fire it.
I hate these bastards even more for daring to start the war lightly and pluck the hair from the tiger's head. This is a contempt for the Phoenix royal family and a humiliation for Zhong Tianqian.
If you spread the word, you will be laughed at.
Neither he nor the imperial family would allow such a thing to happen.
Although Zhong Changming is also a member of the Zhong royal family, when facing the prince Zhong Tianque, he can only flatter him.
He knew that these pirates had completely angered Zhong Tianque, and said in a deep voice: "I will definitely make these pirates never come back."
Whether it is the Vulcan or the Sirius The destroyers, or the Changhe destroyers responsible for peripheral security, are all equipped with the Phoenix Empire's most powerful firepower and the most advanced scientific research materials. Against those patchwork pirate ships, there will only be one result, and that is a one-sided defeat. Harvest.
However, the situation was not as smooth as they imagined.and perfection.
Looking from the huge command screen of the Vulcan, those pirate ships that look dark and dilapidated on the outside, as if they have experienced endless years of baptism and ups and downs in the sea of stars, are actually extremely agile and can always avoid Sirius at critical moments. Destroyer gunfire lock-in and joint blockade.
They are like fish struggling to their death, breaking away from the big net again and again, teasing your nerves again and again.
Weak, yet tough.
What is even more frightening is that two medium-sized pirate ships actually avoided the encirclement of the Sirius destroyer and the Changhe frigate, and rushed towards the Vulcan with a brave and determined attitude that was not afraid of death.
This was a suicide attack.
“Stop them!” Zhong Tianque’s pupils swelled and he roared loudly.
He didn’t want to die, let alone die with these beggars.
"Stop them!" Zhong Changming also issued an order at the same time: "Changhe I, Changhe II. Attack from the side and collide."
He did not hesitate to abandon the two Changhe frigates. The absolute safety of the Vulcan must be guaranteed.
Nothing can happen to Zhong Tianque.
Absolutely nothing can happen.

Phoenix Palace.
Zhong Daolong lay on the big bed of energy stones more than two meters wide. The graceful maid carefully applied a layer of cyan health-preserving liquid on his face, and then covered his eyes. Wearing a thin silk eye mask, he bowed deeply and quietly retreated.
At this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps came. Chen Tianlei stood in front of the bed and reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, something happened. His Royal Highness the eldest prince was attacked by pirates on his way back."
< p>Zhong Daolong pulled off his blindfold and asked with surprised eyes: "Pirate attack? How is it possible?""Yeah, I think it's impossible too. How dare pirates attack the royal fleet? Behind their backs Someone must be instructing me." Chen Fenglei bowed his body and said respectfully.
Zhong Daolong's face was gloomy and he said in a cold voice: "I thought they would take action from within, but I didn't expect that they actually wanted to break the situation from the outside. I really underestimated them."
"How is Zhong Tianque? The scale of their trip this time is not small. They can't even solve this little trouble, right?"
Chen Fenglei swallowed quietly and said in a low voice: " His Highness left the battlefield on the Vulcan and was on his way back to Phoenix Port. The Navy also dispatched the Phoenix and nine Sirius destroyers to greet him."
"Huh?"
Zhong Daolong's eyes were slightly stern, and he knew from Chen Fenglei's expression and voice that the situation might not be optimistic.
"We lost two Sirius destroyers and three Changhe frigates"
"In other words, except for the Vulcan on which Zhong Tianque escaped, the entire army was wiped out?" Zhong Daolong had an expression of disbelief on his face.
He heard that the royal fleet encountered piratesHe was not panicked when the ship attacked, because he knew the combat capabilities of the royal fleet, which could not even defeat a few pirate ships. How dare they come back?
However, the battle damage rate was so high that no one expected it.
Can’t beat it?
"Those pirate ships acted like crazy and carried out suicide attacks."
"The captain of the Vulcan, Zhong Changming, also handed in the battle log on the way back. Those pirate ships Although the appearance is dilapidated, the artillery power and navigation skills used are quite impressive."
"They are not ordinary pirate ships. They should have received technological upgrades from a certain force."
< p>"Haha."Zhong Daolong sneered and said, "They finally couldn't help but take action."
Chen Fenglei remained silent.
He didn’t know who the ‘they’ Zhong Daolong was talking about. He didn’t want to know and didn’t dare to ask.
He knew that if Zhong Daolong was willing to talk, he would take the initiative to tell him what to do.
Zhong Daolong lay back and closed his eyes, as if nothing had happened: "I will take a rest. Zhong Tianque will come back and ask him to see me."
"Yes, Lord." Chen Fenglei tore off an eye patch again and gently covered Zhong Daolong's closed eyes.
Chen Fenglei felt a little more relaxed now that he no longer had to look into the eyes of the king of the country.
Then, he closed the door and quietly exited.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
——
Zhong Tianque was attacked and the royal fleet was attacked by a pirate ship. News of the heavy losses spread like wildfire and soon spread to every corner of Xinxing.
It is impossible to hide such a big event if you want to.
What's more, the royal family did not take any measures and allowed the news to leak out, and all kinds of conspiracies and gossip spread everywhere. < /p>
"What do you know? This matter was not done by the Ossian Empire at all, but by our own people."
"Our own people? Who among our own people would dare to do such a thing? Don't you want your head?"
"You don't know anything. The eldest prince is the crown prince and the future ruler of the country. The second prince will not be happy if the eldest prince is killed this time and his power will be lost in the future. Who's responsible?"
"You mean the two brothers have committed suicide?"
"Shh, keep it down. I'm just talking to you. I told you not to spread the word."
——
Imperial Maritime Hospital.
Tang Bandit was eating fresh-cut fruit while browsing news on the Internet.
"Who do you think did it?" Sheng Xinhuai looked at Tang Bandit and asked.
Fenghuang was called back by her father Zhong Daolong. She was not allowed to leave Fenghuang Villa for even half a step, which was equivalent to being placed under 'house arrest'.
As a result, the important task of taking care of the Tang bandits fell on Sheng Xinhuai.
Firstly, because she and Tang Bandit Fenghuang are both good friends, Fenghuang can get Tang Bandit's physical recovery status from her at any time.
In addition, she and Tang Biao had a "cohabiting couple" relationship. Ever since she learned that Tang Biao was ill, Mei Yuyin often came to visit. Not only did she come by herself, but she also helped Sheng Xinhuai change and wash clothes. They were all packed and brought.
With a posture of "I will stare him to death", it is obvious that she is determined to win Tang Bandit's son-in-law.
As a result, Teacher Sheng was welded to death here, and he had no chance to go back to class.
Mei Yuyin has already asked for leave for her, and the wife of the Finance Minister still has a good reputation.
"How could I know such a thing?" Tang Bandit rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I'm lying here, and I can't even get out of the ward door. Do you think I'm Zhuge Liang?" ? You can know the world while lying on the hospital bed?"
Sheng Xinhuai looked at Tang Bandit with a playful look and said, "Why do you look so guilty?"
p>Tang Bandit's heart sank, and he quickly spoke out: "Don't talk nonsense. This kind of thing is not trivial. I'm lying right under your nose, and you have to help me hold me while I urinate. Are you capable of doing such a thing?"
Sheng Xinhuai glanced at Tang Bandit's thigh and said, "I didn't help you, you did it yourself."< /p>
".I mean help me. Help me."
"Oh. I thought you said help that thing." Sheng glanced at Tang Bandit resentfully and said. Said: "You don't speak clearly. If people hear it, they will think that we have some improper relationship."
"Do you think everyone is like you and can think of these things?"
p>
"Young man, you don't know the evil nature of human nature." Sheng Xinhuai warned with a serious look.
Tang Bandi was silent for a moment and then asked: "What do you, a university professor, study all day long?"
"Old Chinese literature."
"Is the ancient Chinese literature you are studying serious?"
"Of course it is serious."
Sheng Xinhuai glared at Tang Bandit and said loudly: "Okay , don’t change the subject. I want you to analyze. Who do you think did this? Is it really Zhong Tianyi who did it as rumored by the outside world?"
Tang Bandit shook his head. Said: "Zhong Tianyi is not stupid. He knows that once something like this happens, everyone will guess that he did it. Why would he do such a risky thing?"
"Have you ever thought about it? If this thing succeeds and Zhong Tianque cannot come back, what if it was Zhong Tianyi who did it? So what if it wasn't?" Sheng Xinhuai asked with a deep look in his eyes.
The Tang bandit was stunned for a moment, then looked at Sheng Xinhuai and askedSaid: "You mean, if Zhong Tianque dies, whether it is Zhong Tianyi or not, he will have a chance to take over the imperial power?"
"What? Is Zhong Tianyi not his son?" ?" Sheng Xinhuai was very satisfied with Tang Bandi's performance.
Tang Bandit has always been too mature, and has a determination and ruthlessness that does not match his age.
It was rare to see a shocked expression from him, which made Sheng Xinhuai feel that his nature was not lost and he still had basic moral concepts.
After all, anyone who hears such a thing will have an unbearable sense of absurdity.
Who wants to be friends with a vicious person?
"Doesn't he have a daughter?"
"Phoenix? What? Do you want your little girlfriend to be in a position of power, and then you can eat soft rice with confidence?"
p>
"If it's really possible." Tang Bandit said calmly, "I won't refuse."
"I also want to eat soft rice with you, but it's a pity. , Phoenix has no hope." Sheng Xinhuai was very sorry about this and said: "From what I know about Zhong Daolong, he has never considered Phoenix and would rather give that position to his two incompetent sons. ”
“Besides, it’s not like Zhong Daolong doesn’t have other brothers. There are many members of the royal family who have the chance to take over. It’s just because Zhong Daolong established the crown prince early, many people died. Thoughts."
"If Zhong Tianque dies, and Zhong Daolong has no intention of handing over power to Zhong Tianyi, others will naturally jump out to fight for it."
"So , in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening, if Zhong Tianyi really kills Zhong Tianque, the first thing Zhong Daolong has to do is to find ways to eliminate the suspicion on Zhong Tianyi."
"Yes. It’s not that what he did doesn’t matter. The investigation result must not be that he did it. Does it sound unreasonable just to give him a reasonable position?”
Tang Bandit nodded and said: “It’s still you. People in the city would play in the old days, and the bad guys would just chop off your head. In Xinxing, the bad guys will not only chop off your head, but also say that you asked for it."
"You Don't fire the map cannon, not all of them are bad people in Xinxing."
Tang Bandit looked at Sheng Xinhuai with doubtful eyes and asked, "You don't like it when you call the royal family members by their first names. They?"
"What do you want to call them?"
"."
"No matter how glamorous they look. As Liangli got closer and saw more, she felt that it was just that." Sheng Xinhuai sighed softly and said, "It's just pity for Phoenix."
"What's the pity?"
p>"Such a good woman was born into such a family."
"That is the princess of the empire. I don't know how many people would envy her, even if she is less than one person and among ten thousand people."
p>
“I don’t envyMu. "Sheng Xinhuai said aloud: "If I had a choice, I think Phoenix would also be willing to live a simple and comfortable life, instead of being trapped in a deep palace and suffering day and night like now."
This time Tang Bandit did not refute .
He couldn't refute it.
He knew that Phoenix must be very sad now.
The competition between the two brothers was at a fever pitch, and she was the younger sister. Caught in a dilemma.
Who can she support? What can she do?
Isn’t it a joke to say that you should stay together as a family? < /p>
Who will listen?
However, Tang Bandit knows that the real blow has not yet come for Phoenix.
When all the truth comes to light, Where will she go at that time?
Seeing Tang Bandi's silence, Sheng Xinhuai sighed deeply in his heart.
How could she not understand Fenghuang's situation at this time? As an outsider, she couldn't do anything to help her.
She could only help her take care of her injured boyfriend.
"You believe it was the second prince who did it? "Tang Bandit asked.
"No. Sheng Xinhuai shook his head and said, "I don't care about this. I just don't want the second prince to do it."
"Because in this case, Phoenix may feel better."
"Yeah. Tang Bandit nodded and said, "I hope it wasn't the second prince who did it."
At this moment, the door to the ward was pushed open.
Mei Yuyin and Xiaopang walked in hand in hand. , Xiaopang was still carrying big and small bags of things.
“Brother, I’m here to see you. "Xiao Pang saw Tang Bandit and shouted excitedly.
"What is that in your hand? Tang Bandit asked.
"Soup." There is also some food. Mei Yuyin smiled and answered: "The food in the cafeteria is not nutritious, so I made some soup for you at home and brought it over. I happened to meet Xiaopang at the door, so I asked him to help bring it up." ”
The Imperial Maritime Hospital is an aristocratic hospital, and the people living in the ward are the aristocrats among the aristocrats.
The food here is jointly prepared by nutrition experts and famous imperial chefs Not only is it delicious and delicious, but it is also extremely nutritious.
However, in Mei Yuyin’s eyes, it is “hard to swallow.”
"Thank you, Auntie." Tang Biao said gratefully, but his eyes glanced at Sheng Xinhuai, who was sitting next to him.
Teacher Sheng, please make it clear to your aunt as soon as possible. If you confess, you will be lenient and if you resist, you will be stern.
If this continues, the aunt will really treat herself as a prospective son-in-law.
Oh, we have already treated it that way.
Sheng Xinhuai ignored Tang Bandit's expectant look, looked at Mei Yuyin and complained: "Why do you always come here when you have nothing to do? Don't disturb us Live a life of two."
"I will disturb your life of two, as long as you can make soup and stir-fry for Xiao Tang.But come. It’s not because you can’t do anything.”
“There’s nothing to eat in the canteen? Whatever you want to eat, just call and it will be delivered. ”
“Can the food in the cafeteria be nutritious? ”
“Look at his face. It’s flushed and his double chin is about to appear. Where can you tell he looks like a patient? "
"That's not because of the soup I sent. I'm counting on you, Xiao Tang will starve to death."
——
The mother and daughter once again Entering the stage of verbal exchanges, Tang Bandit and Xiaopang looked at each other, and Xiaopang said awkwardly: "Brother"
"It's okay. Tang Bandit said calmly, "Give me the soup." "
"Oh. "Little Fatty nodded.
Thinking to himself, the eldest brother is the eldest brother, always calm when facing big things.
I can still drink soup in such an environment.
——
Xiaoyaoju.
Zhong Tianyi squatted on the ground, watching a group of ants work together to transport a fiery red cherry to the cave.
That. He dropped the cherry on the ground deliberately. He felt like one of the ants.
Zhao Huanong walked over and lowered his head. Shenghui reported: "Your Highness, the eldest prince is back. "
"Well, is he okay? "Zhong Tianyi asked without raising his head, as if these ants were more important than his eldest brother's safety.
Zhao Huanong frowned slightly. He knew that Zhong Tianyi did not really care about the eldest prince.< /p>
However, he still answered honestly: "I came back and was not injured. "
"What a pity. "Zhong Tianyi picked up the cherry and threw it into the swimming pool in front of him along with the countless ants on it. "It would be great if he couldn't come back. "
"." Zhao Huanong did not dare to answer this question.
"Do they all think it was me? "Zhong Tianyi asked.
Zhao Huanong pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes. "
"Haha." Zhong Tianyi looked at the ants struggling for their lives in the swimming pool and said, "It seems that I am destined to be the bad guy. "
"Your Highness."
"Tell them that I agreed. Zhong Tianyi's eyes were stern and he gritted his teeth and said, "I agree to all their conditions." ”
