Phaeth's appearance changed in prison, and it was completely different from before. Hawke had noticed this rumored "prison boss", but not all insects were like Xu Cenfeng, who could recognize Phaeth at just one glance.
But it’s also a good thing, as it indirectly shows that Phaeth’s disguise was very successful.
While pretending to shovel stones, Hawke whispered to Xu Cenfeng, "I heard that a male insect beat up a small leader in the cafeteria yesterday. I guessed it was you. Although it is important to protect yourself in prison, two fists cannot beat four hands. You have to be careful of those despicable guys who secretly trip you up."
Xu Cenfeng: “…”
Hawke looked like he had everything under control: "Don't worry, I've asked other prisoners. As long as you fight more than three times, you can ask the prison guards to transfer to another cell. I've already fought twice, and there's only one left."
Xu Cenfeng: “…”
Hawke's eyes were stern. "With the leader away, I am responsible for your safety. In two days, I will find another way to fight with other bugs. You must be transferred to the third prison area no matter what!"
Xu Cenfeng: “…”
Xu Cenfeng didn't know what to say when he heard this. You say Hawke is smart, but he didn't even notice that the leader was right under his nose. You say Hawke is stupid, but he arranged these things clearly.
Phaeth was sitting on a rock in the distance. Seeing this, he broke off a piece of gravel and threw it at Hawke with a whoosh. Hawke heard the sound of strong wind behind him and reflexively dodged. He turned back angrily to look at the attacker, but was caught off guard by a pair of cold eyes. He was immediately startled.
After Xu Cenfeng finished speaking, ignoring Hawke's dumbfounded expression, he turned around and crossed the gravel area and returned to Phaeth. He lightly jumped onto the rocks, and seeing Phaeth's gloomy face, a smile flashed in his eyes: "Don't be so fierce."
The climate in Black Rock Mountain is extremely cold, and a guardhouse has been set up nearby for the guards to rest. It is not only heated, but also has hot water and food. It is a paradise compared to the outside world. Unfortunately, only the big prisoners dare to sit in it. No one noticed that the guards who had been following Hawke had not returned, or they would never return.
Xu Cenfeng lowered his eyes and glanced at the hand of Phaeth that was around his shoulder: "They can't see it anymore, why don't you let go?"
There was an indelible aura of a superior from Phaeth, as if he had everything under control: "You can't run away."
Faus was also worried that Xu Cenfeng might get bored, so he suddenly said, "When we get back to Horsburg, I'll take you to the west when I have time. It's warmer there than in the north."
He had just uttered a word when he suddenly realized that Phaeth's identity could not be exposed, and quickly covered his mouth and swallowed it back.
As he was talking, Hawke finally moved over from a distance, bit by bit. He looked confused and doubtful, still not believing that the strange female insect in front of him was the leader, until Phaeth jumped down from the rock and kicked him in the buttocks, only then was he sure, and quickly hid far away, covering his buttocks.
Phaeth frowned unconsciously, thinking this question was a bit baffling: "Why are you running?"
Hearing this, Xu Cenfeng pulled the hand off his shoulder, then turned around and pressed Phaeth against the door. He looked very sexy when he spoke because of his fair skin and light red lips, and his breath was burning: "You can hug me."
And Xu Cenfeng's next words also confirmed his guess: "The leader wants you to come over."
Phaeth closed the door and asked, "Why, I can't hug you?"
Xu Cenfeng followed Phaeth into the sentry box, and saw two steaming hot meals already placed on the table. Although it was not as good as what he had experienced in Horsburg, it was still rare in Blackstone Prison.
Phaeth didn't say much to Hawke. He looked away and said calmly, "Notify the other secret agents. They are not allowed to sleep in the early hours of tonight and must be on standby at any time."
Xu Cenfeng nodded and waited for the next words.
Xu Cenfeng paused after hearing this, and suddenly realized that this life was different. They loved each other, there was no hurt or suspicion, and Phaeth didn't have to be on guard all the time, alerting himself to escape.
Then Xu Cenfeng really hugged him seriously, with their chins on each other's shoulders, supporting each other. It was cold outside, but this little house was warm and comfortable, making people want to take a nap.
After he finished speaking, he pinched Xu Cenfeng's chin, bit him hard, and licked him gently for a while, saying in a domineering tone: "The entire north is mine, you can't run away."
Phaeth raised his eyebrows and asked in an ambiguous tone, "Hawke didn't recognize me, why did you recognize me?"
Hawke was surprised and delighted: "Big..."
He didn't run away. He liked Phaeth and there was no need to run anymore.
Such... such a familiar murderous aura!
Hawke was stunned. He looked at the strange female insect sitting on the rock. Finally, he realized something. The shovel in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the whole insect was stunned.
From the perspective of the prisoners nearby, the prison boss was probably in a bad mood, so he grabbed a random little prisoner and kicked him to vent his anger, then hugged his new favorite and walked straight to the rest area of the sentry box not far away.
Phaeth tilted his head and sneered, "You're lying."
There is spring.
After he finished speaking, he turned around and gave Xu Cenfeng a look, indicating that he should follow him, and then left.
Xu Cenfeng whispered: "I'll hold you."
Could that evil criminal be the leader
Xu Cenfeng glanced at him and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll run away?"
Phaeth was quite generous. Hearing this, he curled his lips slightly, tilted his head and looked away, saying, "Then you hold me."
Phaeth felt inexplicably dry in the mouth and his voice was hoarse: "Xu Cenfeng..."
Phaeth seemed to hear the heartbeat in Xu Cenfeng's chest. The powerful vibration was transmitted to his body, causing his own heartbeat to speed up.
This land is winter most of the year. Although the overwhelming snow is magnificent and beautiful, it will get boring after a while. Xu Cenfeng is like a flower seed that came from nowhere, gentle and elegant, which is out of tune with the rugged north.
Hawke has followed him for more than 20 years, but he didn't even notice him when he was right under his nose for two days. How could Xu Cenfeng recognize him at first sight
Xu Cenfeng uttered an "oh", letting the cold wind mess up his hair, and said half-seriously, "Maybe I knew you in my previous life."
Thinking of this, Phaes frowned and glanced at Xu Cenfeng beside him, only to see that the other party was also looking at him. His dark pupils were clean and bright, reflecting his outline clearly, and the smile on his lips was warmer than the spring breeze.
Xu Cenfeng thought, Faus is always so proud and conceited, didn't he run away in his previous life? But the atmosphere was just right now, so he knew better than to say such a spoiling thing. He sat down at the table with Faus and wiped the dust off the dishes with a paper towel: "Did you ask them to prepare these meals?"
After choking, my heart softened.
After a long silence, Xu Cenfeng suddenly smiled and said, "Yes, I won't run."
Phaeth choked when he heard this.
Phaeth crushed the stone in his hand with a snap and sneered, "Then you should pray that Hawke's brain will be smarter."
Phaeth: "Do you find the north desolate?"
Phaeth hummed, "Improve your food."
The food in the cafeteria was cooked so badly that even a dog couldn't eat it. Of course, there was no way he would let Xu Cenfeng eat that kind of food.
Xu Cenfeng is not picky. He grew up in the mountains and had eaten wild vegetable porridge. But he still took a piece of the dish with chopsticks and commented seriously: "It's delicious."
Everyone likes to have their thoughts responded to, and Phaeth is no exception. Although he showed no expression, it was not difficult to tell that he was in a good mood: "If it tastes good, eat more. It's the last day anyway."
Xu Cenfeng glanced at him and said, "I heard you told Hawke not to sleep in the early morning. Are there any actions tonight?"
Faus originally wanted to smoke, but gave up when he saw Xu Cenfeng was eating. He held a silver lighter in his hand and tapped the corner of the table from time to time: "They can't sleep, you can sleep, I'll wake you up when it's time to leave."
Phaes' heart has become completely biased.
Xu Cenfeng: "I can't sleep. What time do you plan to start tonight?"
Phaeth thought for a moment and said, "It was two o'clock in the morning. At that time, the garrison team was on duty and the defense was not strict. When we left the prison in the aircraft, the route happened to be within the patrol range of the garrison. We avoided it if possible."
Xu Cenfeng knew that some of the garrison were Yenia's confidants: "What if we can't avoid it?" Phaeth's answer was simple and rude, and he casually said: "If we can't avoid it, then fight. It will only waste a few hours at most. It's no big deal."
After he finished speaking, he pressed his fingertips on the lighter and a cluster of faint blue flames jumped out, growing stronger and stronger, as if it would burn up the entire winter.
"call-"
The fire is out.
At night, the warden was sitting in his office on duty. When it was almost twelve o'clock, the terminal in front of him suddenly rang, indicating that a highly encrypted file had been sent from the Horsburg area.
The warden sat up straight subconsciously when he saw the location of the message. He quickly stood up and walked to the locker room and knocked on the door: "Chief, Admiral Weather has sent a letter."
“Click—”
As soon as the warden finished speaking, Faus opened the door and walked out. He was wearing a black military uniform that was convenient for combat. He even took off his disguise and was wiping the water marks on his face with a towel. "Was the letter sent from Horsburg?"
The warden nodded. "It's Horsburgh. It should be a message from Admiral Weather."
Upon hearing this, Phaeth threw the towel aside. His dark green eyes were dim. He sat down at his desk and quickly entered a string of codes to decipher the file on his computer. Before long, a list of traitors popped up on the screen.
"Earl Zach Bruce..."
"Lieutenant General West Leonard..."
"Minister of finance… "
As Phaeth rolled the cursor, he murmured, the curve of his lips growing larger and larger, and he said with an ambiguous meaning: "I said before that Yenia was impatient, but I didn't expect that he secretly won over so many generals behind my back. It would take a few years to pry open the mouths of these old foxes."
The warden noticed that Phaeth was in a bad mood and remained silent throughout the whole process.
After reciting the above contents, Faersmer deleted and destroyed the file. He glanced at the time on the clock on the corner and said to the warden, "Pass the order and have them all gather downstairs within half an hour and set off on time at one o'clock."
"yes!"
The warden saluted and immediately pushed the door open. He saw a row of armed soldiers standing in the prison corridor. There was complete silence. He gestured and said in a low voice, "Action now. Try not to wake up the other prisoners. Meet downstairs in half an hour."
Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately dispersed and ran to various buildings at a very fast speed. They used their ID cards to open the cells where the military criminals were held and distributed guns and ammunition. The imprisoned female soldiers walked out of the cells and quickly changed into combat equipment in the silent corridor without making any noise the whole time.
Most of the prisoners in the prison have a regular schedule. They turn off the lights and go to bed at nine o'clock in the evening. Twelve o'clock is the time when they are sound asleep. Even if there are some who are awake, they dare not make a sound when they see the scene outside.
While the troops were gathering, Phaeth walked straight to the third prison area with a clean military uniform. He found Xu Cenfeng's single cell, used his ID card to unlock the door, and sure enough, he discovered that the male insect had not yet gone to bed. He was standing in front of the window counting the dragonfly detectors flying outside.
Phaeth frowned: "Didn't I tell you to get some sleep?"
After he finished speaking, he handed the military uniform in his hand to Xu Cenfeng and urged him softly, "Put it on. We will set off soon."
Xu Cenfeng didn't avoid him. He took off his blue-gray prison uniform and changed into a combat uniform. Seeing Xu Cenfeng's smooth and tight muscles, Phaeth couldn't help but reach out and poke him, but he was caught red-handed.
Xu Cenfeng held his hand: "What are you doing?"
Phaeth said as a matter of course: "Touch you."
This is his male insect, why can't he touch it? Xu Cenfeng had touched him a lot before, and Phaeth felt that he had to touch him for three years before he could get enough.
Xu Cenfeng was somewhat helpless and let go of his hand: "Let's talk about it when we get back."
Phaeth snorted and thought to himself, why pretend to be a gentleman
Xu Cenfeng quickly changed his clothes. When he and Phaeth took the light elevator downstairs, they saw a sea of soldiers on the training ground. He couldn't help but ask, "You transferred so many soldiers from the prison at once. Will those prisoners be left without guards?"
The number of prison guards must be equal to the number of prisoners, otherwise riots will easily occur. This is why Black Rock Prison is located near the garrison base.
Phaeth said, "It doesn't matter. When we arrive at Horsburgh at dawn, the garrison will dispatch some troops to guard the prison."
He seemed irritable and rude, but in fact he considered everything very carefully and was more attentive than Xu Cenfeng had imagined.
Hawke was gathering the troops at the front, and suddenly saw Phaeth and Xu Cenfeng coming down. He quickly ran forward and saluted: "Report to the leader, the troops have been assembled, please give instructions!"
Upon hearing this, Phaeth looked around, his dark green eyes full of oppression. After a moment, he retracted his gaze and said, "Send a reconnaissance team to explore the way ahead. You and Elden will control the left and right wings. Pay attention to whether there are any pursuers in the rear. Let's go!"
Hawke's face twitched for a moment when he heard this, and he turned his head to look at a brown curly-haired female insect next to the team, and saluted reluctantly: "Yes!"
Xu Cenfeng noticed Hawke's little move and took a closer look. He then discovered that there was a younger female insect major general in the team. The other party had a young face, but her eyes were very cunning. When she saw Xu Cenfeng, she quietly saluted him and blinked with a smile.
Xu Cenfeng was startled. It turned out to be Elden.
When Xu Cenfeng first arrived in the north, he met a group of young hooligans at the entrance of a hotel and treated them to a meal. The leader, Elden, was born in the slums. In his previous life, he accidentally saved Phaeth's life. Later, he became the deputy leader of the north and was once described as a legend.
Xu Cenfeng didn't expect to meet the other party at this time. He smiled and nodded in response, then he retracted his gaze and got on the combat starship parked at the door with Phaeth.
After Phaeth gave the order to march, the entire team set off. Dozens of starships adjusted the brightness of their pathfinders to the lowest, and flew through the dark night towards Horsburg.
Phaeth had been observing the movements outside. After a moment, he retracted his gaze from the control screen and asked abruptly, "Who were you looking at just now?"
He always pays close attention to Xu Cenfeng's every move. He is narrow-minded, possessive and jealous.
Xu Cenfeng felt as if he smelled a bit of sourness. He leaned his head slightly closer to Phaeth, pecked his earlobe, and said in a low voice: "I found that there is a new major general in the team, and Hawke doesn't seem to like him very much."
Phaeth raised an eyebrow, "You mean Elden? They are competitors, and Hawke certainly doesn't like him."
Although Xu Cenfeng knew the reason, he still asked, "Who is Elden?"
Phaeth explained, "He was a rookie. When the rebels attacked, luckily he pushed me and helped me avoid a bullet. I thought he was smart, so I promoted him to my side."
Xu Cenfeng nodded: "Very loyal."
After he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed that there was a prisoner pardon document in Phaeth's hand. In the upper right corner was a photo of a female insect with gray hair and silver eyes. It was Sanya whom he had met in prison before. He gently took the document from Phaeth and asked, "Do you want to pardon this female insect?"
Phaeth lazily fell into the chair, crossed his legs and sat there, his black military boots shining brightly, exuding a cold and abstinent color. "It's just a deal. He helped me a little in prison, so I gave him a new identity."
As if he wanted to tease Xu Cenfeng, he deliberately asked, "He once killed a male insect, and then he was wanted by the West and became a fugitive. Guess why I arrested him and put him in Blackstone Prison?"
Xu Cenfeng lowered his eyes and looked through the documents in his hand. He thought for a moment before saying, "Star Pirate?"
Phaeth's expression changed slightly: "How do you know?"
Xu Cenfeng calmly closed the file and said, "Oh, because I used to be a pirate, and I met Sanya once before. He was one of the leaders of the Clete Alliance, but he didn't seem to want to continue being a pirate. Later, when the West was chasing him, he took advantage of the civil strife to escape. I didn't expect to be caught here by you."
He recognized Sanya the first time he saw him, but he just pretended not to know him.
Upon hearing this, Phaeth looked at Xu Cenfeng in surprise, but he was actually shocked by something else: "You are actually a space pirate?!"
Damn it, he originally thought that Hawke was just making a scapegoat, but he didn't expect it to be true?! Such a pure male insect that doesn't even swear, and whose blood is 100% pure, why would he be so desperate to become a space pirate??!
Xu Cenfeng realized belatedly that he seemed to have accidentally exploded. He tilted his head to look at Phaeth with a gentle and harmless gaze, and asked hesitantly, "I... don't look like it?"
