1780 The Beginning of God-Ascension (1/2)
Chen Xiaobei looked around cautiously. ”Don't call me master! Let's find a safer place to talk!”
”Alright! Let's go!” Wuigui Kojiro nodded. They left in his flying car.
...
They soon arrived in Prince Wugui Kojiro's official residence.
Both men went straight to the study where Wugui Kojiro sat Chen Xiaobei down and poured him a cup of tea.
”Master, this is a very safe place. You can say anything you want here. You don't have to worry about anyone listening!”
Chen Xiaobei shot a warning look at his loyal hound. ”First of all, do not address me as your master in front of others! Second, I got myself a Royal Dome imperial spacecraft! I am here as the emissary of Royal Dome's great emperor! If anyone asks you, tell them that we've only just met!”
”Yes, I'll remember that!” Wugui Kojiro nodded. ”Royal Dome's imperial spacecraft are very advanced. There's no more than ten of those. How did you manage to get one, master?”
Chen Xiaobei answered, ”Like you, the new great emperor of Royal Dome is also my loyal hound. How do you think I got it?”
”What?!” Wugui Kojiro's hand flew to his mouth. ”The new greagt emeperor of Royal Dome? Why the sudden change?”
Chen Xiaobei shrugged. ”I don't feel like explaining. You'll hear about it in two to three days!”
”Good heavens… You really are incredible…” Wugui Kojiro inhaled sharply. What could Chen Xiaobei have done to the Royal Dome imperial court to even make such a thing happen?
Chen Xiaobei wanted to change the topic. ”Let's not waste any more time. Tell me about Tenshou's current situation!”
”Yes! Tenshou was actually getting ready to launch the second joint-attack but the Royal Dome's crown prince was murdered, again. So, the plan was put on hold. Now, even though Royal Dome was too busy putting out the fire in their own backyard and could not carry on with the attack, Tenshou was prepared to attack at any time! I even heard rumors that some of the chancellors were trying to persuade the Sovereign Emperor to forget about Royal Dome and attack Saint Duke on their own. They were convinced that they would still be able to win the battle! However, the Sovereign Emperor was worried that the same thing that happened to Royal Dome would also happen to Tenshou. So, he has been unable to make a decision!”
Wugui Kojiro had clearly been paying attention and keeping notes on all key events.
Chen Xiaobei sighed in relief at this. ”One dead crown prince is already enough to scare the Tenshou Sovereign Emperor. If he finds out that Royal Dome's great emperor and all eight of his brothers were assassinated in one night, his pants would be soaking wet!”
”What?!” Wugui Kojiro's eyes were as round as marbles. ”The great emperor and all eight of the Wangye are dead?!”
Chen Xiaobei nodded but gave no explanations.
”My god… This is crazy…” Wugui Kojiro swallowed. ”If that's the case, the Sovereign Emperor's paranoia will heighten. There is no way Tenshou would be attacking Saint Duke anytime soon!”
Chen Xiaobei broke into a smile. ”If he doesn't attack, I will have enough time to prepare. I could even make time to snatch Red Envelopes during the Mid-Autumn Festival!”
”Snatch Red Envelopes?” Wugui Kojiro looked confused.
”You won't understand even if I tell you! Hey, do you celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival here?”
”Of course!” Wugui Kojiro answered. ”The customs and cultures of high-ranking starfields are very similar to the culture of ancient Chinese!” Mid-Autumn Festival is after Qixi festival! I think this year's Mid-Autumn Festival is only five days away!”
