Members of the royal family of the Tara Empire live in the most prosperous part of the imperial palace. The palace is equipped with the most advanced protective cover, and idlers cannot get close to the palace. To enter the palace, you must first submit an application, and then you have to go through layers Only after testing can we officially step into it.
When Gabriel came out of the training room, his body was already drenched in sweat.
Although he has just turned 20 years old this year, Gabriel has already started to do strength training and mental strength training in a planned way when he turned 10 years old. His physical fitness has improved so fast. Can't get rid of the relationship.
After the routine training was finished, Gabriel took a shower, changed his body, and was about to drink some nutrient solution to replenish his physical strength, when he received a report from his servants that King Jesque asked him to go .
Gabriel didn't dare to delay, and after hastily drinking the nutrient solution, he went to King Jesker's bedroom.
King Jesc was old and his body was not as good as before. He spent most of the day lying on the bed. Perhaps because he called Gabriel over to talk about business, he rarely got out of bed and sat behind the desk.
After Gabriel came over, King Jesque asked the men next to him to retreat. After everyone went out, he opened the protective cover of the study to isolate the prying eyes of outsiders.
"Father."
Gabriel looked at the pale king, walked over quickly, and stood by his side.
"You are not in good health, why don't you take a rest?"
Gabriel asked with a worried face, and when he saw the king stretching out his hand towards him, he obediently put his hand in the king's palm.
"Gabriel, do you know what I called you here for?"
Gabriel shook his head and said softly: "Father, I don't know."
The old king coughed for a while, and an abnormal blush appeared on his pale face. Seeing this, Gabriel hurriedly patted him on the back. After a while, the king finally recovered, but at this moment his face turned pale. It became more and more gray and defeated.
"Father, why don't I call the doctor over..."
As Gabriel said, he wanted to call someone, but the king refused to let go of his hand, so in desperation, he had no choice but to give up this plan.
"Father."
Gabriel yelled worriedly, his blue eyes filled with deep worry.
After coughing for a while, the king slowly recovered. He gasped for a while, feeling the pain in his trachea recovered a little before he opened his mouth, but his voice became much hoarse than before.
"Gabriel, my birthday party will be in two days, you should know what I want to do."
Gabriel nodded and said softly, "I know."
It should be said that there is no one in the entire empire who does not know what the king wants to do. This time it is said to be a birthday banquet, but it is actually a banquet for the selection of the crown prince. In addition, the crown princess will also be selected from various families.
The king had already made up his mind about the candidate for the crown prince, so he asked Gabriel to come over, just to see what he meant.
"The little girl from the Augustus family is pretty good. She matches your age, but she is a little younger, and her temperament is not yet determined. No one can tell what will happen in the future."
"The young lady of the Bilever family is quite suitable, but I heard that she likes the boy of the August family. Although she is not engaged, she has a heart to belong to. If she is with you, she may not be able to live together this day. "
"Miss Su's family is too old..."
"Miss Cruise is too quiet..."
"Miss Gates is too straight-minded..."
The young ladies and kings of these wealthy families are very familiar with their strengths and weaknesses. After searching for a long time, they couldn't find a suitable person.
Gabriel didn't open his mouth all the time, but quietly listened to the king talking about the advantages and disadvantages of these ladies. After the king finished his speech, he asked softly, "Father, who do you like?"
The king clapped his hands: "Which one do you like?"
Hearing this, Gabriel shook his head and said, "I don't like anyone, I'm not familiar with them."
After hearing his words, the king hooked the corners of his mouth and showed a smile on his face: "My good boy, I will definitely choose the best and most suitable one for you."
Gabriel nodded, and then he heard the king ask, "What do you think of the second lady of the Gu family?"
Gabriel: "…"
The second lady of the Gu family
"You mean Gu Aoshuang?"
Gabriel searched in his mind, and quickly found Gu Aoshuang's information. Her appearance and physique are quite good, and she is just right for him, but...
"Father, didn't you say that the Gu family is too powerful? Didn't you always refuse to delegate power to the Gu family before?"
More than two hundred years ago, Gu Qingfeng beheaded the Zerg Queen by himself. After that, his reputation in the Tara Empire reached its peak. Originally, after the war, the expeditionary army was to be disbanded and changed into a new one. For several major legions, Gu Qingfeng's military power should also be handed over, but Gu Qingfeng refused to hand over his military power because of his status as a human hero.
At that time, the Gu family was really in full swing, and even the royal family wanted to retreat. Gu Qingfeng said that he was reluctant to disband the expeditionary army. He said that the expeditionary army was all brothers who followed him to fight against the Zerg, and he was reluctant to part with them.
And ordinary people also think that the expeditionary army should belong to Gu Qingfeng. They all think that Gu Qingfeng killed the Zerg queen, ended the thousands of years of war between humans and Zerg, and brought long-lost peace to mankind. It's just an expeditionary force. The empire should give it to him. They can't charge forward and take back their rights after victory.
At that time, King Jesque was in his prime, and felt that Gu Qingfeng was at the peak of his prestige, so he thought of taking a step back and waiting for more than ten years to take back his military power.
King Jesque had a good plan, but how could the Gu family want to spit out the benefits they had eaten? After more than two hundred years, the royal family and the Gu family have been fighting continuously, wanting to get back the military power, no matter how bad it is, the expeditionary army must be disbanded and the original legion mode will be restored.
However, the royal family never had the upper hand in the confrontation with the Gu family. Instead, the Gu family tore away many interests. The royal family, which originally had absolute control over the Tara Empire, became weaker and weaker. On the contrary, the rights of the Gu family It's also getting bigger and bigger. If it weren't for gathering some aristocratic families and letting them stand on the side of the royal family, the entire Tara Empire might have changed its surname to Gu.
Gabriel knew exactly what King Jesque's attitude was towards the Gu family. Shouldn't they take back the rights that belonged to the Gu family? Why marry the Gu family
If she marries Gu Aoshuang, she will be the queen in the future, so wouldn't the Gu family want to occupy more power
Gabriel couldn't figure out why King Jesque did this, so he asked all the doubts in his heart.
Facing his father, he had nothing bad to say.
"Cough cough cough..."
King Jesque coughed for a while, and finally said after a while: "Gabriel, Gu Qingfeng has only one daughter, and he has no other heirs. fear."
Gu Qingfeng is the first marshal of the empire, a hero of mankind, and a god in the hearts of countless people. One day with him, the Gu family will not collapse, and the royal family will live under his shadow.
However, Gu Qingfeng is not a god, he is a human being, his lifespan is limited, and now he is almost at the end of his life, when he dies, the myth of the Gu family will be broken.
"Gu Qingfeng is the backbone of the Gu family. Once he falls, the entire Gu family will collapse. If you marry Gu Aoshuang, after Gu Qingfeng dies, the expeditionary army will naturally return to the hands of the royal family."
Gabriel is also a smart man, and King Jesc made a quick call, and he understood it.
"Father, I understand."
Gu Aoshuang is the continuation of Marshal Gu's blood. If she becomes the next queen, the royal family will be able to take back the military power of the expeditionary army without spending a single soldier.
The father and son discussed some details again, and when they were talking in full swing, King Jesque received news from Vitas.
When he saw the news from his personal terminal, King Jesker's face changed instantly.
Seeing that his expression was wrong, Gabriel didn't care about anything else, and his eyes fell on the virtual screen.
[Your Majesty the King, I have a report concerning the survival of mankind. Please allow us to enter the palace to have an interview with you.]
When he saw this news, Gabriel's expression also became serious.
Although the king also has a personal terminal, the masters will not contact the king directly, but pass the news to the king's officials, and then the king will decide whether to see them or not.
Although the masters have the right to directly contact the king, everyone knows that if it is not an urgent matter, they will never contact the king rashly, especially now that King Jesque is in poor health and needs to rest , it is even more impossible for them to contact him casually.
what's going on
Both King Jeske and Gabriel knew the seriousness of the matter, and King Jeske didn't talk nonsense, and ordered his confidants to bring Vitas and the others in.
This is the first time Qi Wang has entered the palace, no matter what era the palace was built, it is resplendent and resplendent, and looks very magnificent.
But Qi Wang doesn't have any intention of appreciating the scenery, the most important thing now is the Gu family's affairs.
After a while, they were brought to the living room, and the leader sent Qi Fan and Vitas in, then bowed and retreated.
"Your Majesty Jesque, Your Highness Gabriel."
After meeting, Vitas immediately bowed and saluted, and Qi Wang followed his example and saluted.
King Jesque frowned at Vitas, and after staring at him for a while, his eyes turned to Qi Wang.
When he saw Qi Wang's face clearly, King Jesque frowned even tighter, saying that he wanted to say something about the survival of human beings, why did he bring such a beautiful and excessive person here
"Vitas, you are so anxious to see me, do you have something important to say?"
Although he is old and frail, he still has the aura of a king who has been a king for hundreds of years.
Gabriel stood behind King Jesc and didn't speak, but he kept looking at Qi Wang who was standing beside Vitas.
This person looks very complicated, I don't know what Patriarch Vitas brought him here for...
Without waiting for Gabriel to continue thinking, he heard Vitas drop a few heavy bombs.
"Your Majesty, Gu Qingfeng did not kill the Zerg Queen more than two hundred years ago. He may have been infected by the Zerg gene and turned into a Zerg."
"Your Majesty, all the expeditionary forces have fallen, and the star field where they are stationed has become the nest of the Zerg."
"Your Majesty, the empire is at stake. We must prepare in advance. Gu Qingfeng may attack humans on the day of your birthday party."
Vitas didn't hide anything at all, and directly stated what they had investigated, and put all the corresponding evidence in front of King Jesk.
"Your Majesty, the expeditionary force has been given to the Zerg by Gu Qingfeng, and what he wants next is the entire empire. We can't sit still."
"What did you say!"
After hearing what Vitas said, Jeske sat up from his chair in shock. He looked at Vitas in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.
However, the materials in front of him proved that what Vitas said was true. Looking at the things shown in the materials, King Jesque's body was shaking and he almost fell to the ground.
How did things become like this
Before, King Jesque wanted to marry Gabriel to Gu Aoshuang, but within a few minutes, Vitas told him that Gu Qingfeng and Gu Aoshuang were Zergs? How is this possible!
"Is there any problem with these materials? Gu Qingfeng has been in the imperial capital all the time, and he hasn't done anything... Gu Aoshuang also studied in the Imperial Military Academy. Their medical examination reports are all right. They are pure human beings..."
Before the king could finish speaking, Qi Wang interrupted him.
"Your Majesty, with all due respect, human technology is advancing. Human beings today are no longer comparable to the past. Zerg are also evolving. They are no longer as intelligent as we used to think. In fact Now the IQ of the advanced Zerg has been completely comparable to that of humans, and has even surpassed humans... "
Gu Qingfeng's actions have fully proved this point. If it wasn't for the evolution of IQ, how could the Zerg do this under the noses of humans
"and who are you?"
King Jesque frowned and asked, Vitas hurriedly introduced his identity without waiting for Qi to speak.
"Your Majesty, he is Gu Aoshuang's adoptive father, and he is also an SSS-level spiritual powerhouse. He was the first to discover that Gu Qingfeng and Gu Aoshuang were Zerg, and we only discovered the problem of the expeditionary army after he reminded us."
This person in front of him actually has SSS-level mental power
Even the well-informed King Jesque couldn't help but gasp at this moment, the look he looked at Qi Wang changed instantly, even Gabriel was only SS-level physique, Qi Wang was At the SSS level, how powerful should his abilities be
King Jesque didn't doubt the authenticity of Vitas' arms. Although the power of the royal family was not as good as before, Vitas still didn't dare to deceive him.
"If what you say is true, things have indeed gotten to a very bad place."
In two days, the birthday banquet will be held. On that day, all the core members of the rich and powerful families will come to the royal family, and Gu Qingfeng should also choose to launch an attack on this day, and wipe out all the upper echelons of the entire empire.
They absolutely cannot let Gu Qingfeng succeed.
After pondering for a moment, King Jesque quickly made a decision. He let Gabriel stay in the palace to sit in charge, while he followed Vitas and Qi Wang out of the palace.
"Father, you can't do this. I should be leaving the palace. You are not in good health. How can you let this kind of thing go?"
Gabriel spoke hastily, trying to dissuade King Jesque from thinking about it.
However, King Jesque has already made a decision, what can Gabriel change with a few words
"I can only do this matter? Now that I am the king, I have to be responsible to the people of the entire empire. If the situation is true, I may not have time to return to the palace, so I will make a decision."
Gabriel wanted to say something else, but King Jesque had already spoken to such an extent that it was useless for him to say anything. In desperation, he could only watch as Jesque followed Vitas and Qi Wang. leave together.
The matter was of great importance, for fear of leaking the news, King Jesque even made some disguises when he left the palace, and some people covered him, so they left the palace very smoothly, and within a short time, they arrived at Bile Buddha's house.
Natasha and Leo had already made preparations. After King Jesque arrived, he took him to the underground laboratory and saw Gu Aoshuang lying there.
With the facts before his eyes, King Jeske couldn't help but believe that Gu Aoshuang was really a Zerg.
Qi Wang woke up Gu Aoshuang and revealed her identity in front of everyone.
However, Gu Aoshuang still refused to cooperate, and refused to say a single unnecessary word.
Qi Wang stared at her for a long time, and finally said after a long time: "Actually, you don't want to be a Zerg yourself, do you?"
After hearing Qi Wang's words, Gu Aoshuang's body trembled, but she still chose to close her eyes and refused to speak.
"Do you know about the expeditionary army? There are no more humans in the expeditionary army, and all the more than six million expeditionary forces have become the rations of the Zerg."
Qi Wang continued: "I think you should know?"
"What Gu Qingfeng wants to do, you should be very clear that humans are just food for the Zerg. If the Zerg controls the entire Tara Empire, all humans will become food for the Zerg."
Gu Aoshuang finally opened her eyes. Her eyes were faintly red, but she kept forcing herself to stay awake: "So what? Since you already know that I am a Zerg, you should also know that I will not stand on the side of humans." on one side."
It is impossible for humans and Zerg to live in peace. Either you die or I die. Why does Qi Wang think that she will lean on the human side
Qi Wang seemed to understand what Gu Aoshuang was thinking, he sighed, and said in a low voice: "The Zerg should have a special way of contacting, as the queen of the new generation of Zerg, I don't believe you will be so easily Trapped here."
Zerg Queen?
Except for Qi Wang and Gu Aoshuang lying there, everyone was dumbfounded.
No, Gu Aoshuang is the Zerg Queen
How come they don't know about this? The Zerg queen is in their hands, do they still need to be afraid of the Zerg
Qi Wang's words revealed Gu Aoshuang's last secret, her eyes widened in shock, and she blurted out: "How do you know?"
Qi Wang looked at Gu Aoshuang with a bit of pity in his eyes.
