Chapter 45: The Ministers of the Tang Gate (Double Watch)
"Get out of the way." Presdi pushed Keynes away, and rolled himself on the ground, his clothes brushing against the arrow, a long arrow stuck in the ground, the feathers of the arrow's tail white and flawless in the moonlight.
Prysa put her hands on the ground, she couldn't believe that the arrow had been shot by Aisha, and he looked up, Aisha was no longer dressed in the daytime, wearing only a pajamas, her long hair was lowered, and the wind blew Aisha's face, unable to blur her eyes.
Those gray-blue eyes were ruthless, and he looked at him as if he were looking at a dead thing. She jumped off the balcony like a butterfly, her tail reflecting dreamy colors, beautiful but poisonous.
The corners of her mouth are slightly hooked, and there are a few silver needles between her slender fingers, this is her tail wing, which seems to be fragile and easy to break, but in fact, she sees blood sealing her throat.
"Be careful." Keynes's voice brought back Presdi's senses, but it was too late, Meng Yan had already come to Presdi, and the silver needle in her hand had already flown towards the enemy, not Presdi, but Keynes.
Meng Yan's real target is Keynes, because he is the one who resists.
"Brother." Presdi tried to run to save Cairns, but a poisonous arrow was already on Presdi's neck.
"Aisha." Prysday was forced to raise his chin and look at Meng Yan, and Prysday shouted, "You're not Aisha. β
"That's right." Meng Yan's fingers touched the mechanism, and the poison arrow was about to leave the mechanism in the next second.
'Stop. Aisha's voice sounded in Meng Yan's head, 'What did you do?' She couldn't believe it, and when she woke up, it was the scene of Prysdi's control.
Meng Yan stopped, "Help you solve the source of your pain." β
But I didn't let you kill. Aisha was in a hurry, she wanted to take back control of her body, but Meng Yan didn't give her a chance, she could only shout loudly.
"It's too late." Meng Yan's other hand was stained with blood, it was the marshal's blood, the moment Meng Yan hugged the marshal, the creation of the abnormal track was aimed at his heart, even if the marshal found the abnormality, it was too late, Meng Yan directly killed the marshal with an arrow through the heart, it is not troublesome to murder her husband, the trouble is Keynes hiding in the marriage room, Keynes saw this scene, he was so frightened that he gasped, when he noticed that there were still people in the room, Meng Yan directly laid a net of heaven and earth, and strafed at a 0-degree angle without dead angles, forcing out Keynes who was hiding in the dark.
"Congratulations on Aisha and getting single again." Meng Yan flashed a flying knife in her left hand and threw it at Keynes's shoulder.
"Who are you?" Prysdi looked at Meng Yan, what she said just now seemed to be answering the real Aisha.
"I'll tell you to stop." Aisha finally shouted and seized control of her left hand, and she pushed her left hand away, and the arrow that was in the box was shot and landed next to Presdi.
Seeing this opportunity, Presdi pounced on Meng Yan, wanting to take away the creation and transformation track in her hands.
"Fuck off." Meng Yan's eyes were cold, and she kicked away Presdi, who was lying on top of her, got up gracefully from the ground, and aimed the creation and transformation track at Presty's forehead.
"You can't kill him." Aisha was scared, she found that she couldn't stop Meng Yan's behavior, so she could only beg Meng Yan bitterly, "Please, don't kill anyone." β
"Aisha, I don't want to kill them." Meng Yan sighed and turned to meet Keynes's eyes, "I just want to solve your troubles." "But someone who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, hides in the marriage room, and is a witness.
"Only the dead can keep secrets." Meng Yan's gaze looked at Presdi, "It's a pity, you are a living person." β
"They'll keep it a secret." Aisha assures her that she doesn't want anyone to die in front of her, and that they shouldn't die for no reason.
"We're not going to say." Presdi followed closely, although he didn't know who the other party was, the most important thing at the moment was to survive.
Meng Yan stared at Price for a long time, and after a long time, she retracted the creation track, picked up Keynes, who had fallen to the ground and gasped, and said to Price, "Follow me." β
"Housekeeper, take care of this place, as for the wedding room...... Meng Yan stopped, "Keep it as it is, and call the police early tomorrow morning." β
Is the marshal really dead...... Prystian subconsciously went to the marriage room, and he didn't know why, but when he knew that the marshal was dead, a voice in his heart sighed, 'It's so good.' He was vaguely happy.
Back in Aisha's room, Meng Yan threw the person to Prystier and activated the medical cabin.
Meng Yan took a drink and sat down, watching Prysetti help Keynes take off his clothes and send him to the infirmary for treatment.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be like this." Aisha's left hand rested on the wall of the cup, not touching her right hand, and her gaze was soft and deeply apologetic.
"I just, just wanted to escape." Aisha wept, and when she knew that the marshal already had a lover, she didn't have the strength to face the next one.
Prysetti made a treatment plan for Keynes and sat down in front of Aisha, his head bowed and a little gloomy, his golden hair hanging down, blocking the love in his eyes.
"Have you thought about the consequences?" Prystian opened his mouth, "He is the marshal of the empire, he wields a lot of power, and how much turmoil his death will cause to the empire." β
"I, I'm ......" Aisha couldn't cry, she covered her mouth in fear.
The right hand took down the left hand that covered his mouth, Aisha's voice changed, and there were still tears in her eyes, but her eyes turned cold, "There are many people who want to replace him." β
Prysdi, knowing that the person who was talking now was not Aisha, looked up and asked Meng Yan, "What are you going to do?" β
"Get married again." Meng Yan put the cup down, and a virtual screen appeared in front of her, on which was the marshal's public property, densely packed, enough to make anyone's heart move.
"It's a pity that the military power is not mine." Meng Yan's fingertips stayed in the red frame at the bottom, which was the military power of the marshal, according to the provisions of interstellar law, if the marshal died unexpectedly, his military power would return to the hands of several ministers of the parliament.
"Do you know who is most likely to make a profit?" Meng Yan's wrist turned, and the virtual screen changed again, listing several rows of characters.
"What do you want to do?" Aisha guessed Meng Yan's thoughts, and she thought that Meng Yan was a madman.
"Once and for all." Meng Yan said, crossing the council members, "You always have to remarry, marry someone you don't know and don't like, and even treat you violently after marriage, and the important thing is that you can't divorce Aisha." β
After these words, the room was quiet, Presdi's hand was clenched into a fist, and Meng Yan's words were like a thin needle piercing deep into the scar in his heart, and then opened it fiercely.
"I'll keep it a secret for you." Presdi suddenly spoke, he had a crazy idea, he wanted to be an accomplice, help Aisha hide from the world, deceive everyone, the reason is just that he wanted to see how far Aisha could go.
See where the omega can go.
"The next person most likely to succeed the marshal is the eldest son of the Li family, Li Peida." The lid of the medical cabin was lifted, and Keynes sat up, looking at Meng Yan with dark eyes, "He's not married yet." β
Meng Yan laughed, she met two crazy people.
**
The next morning, the death of the Imperial Marshal was overwhelming, people could not believe the death of the marshal, and he died on the wedding night, as the bride, Aisha was taken away by the court and presented to the public in the trial a few days later.
A few days later, Prysday and Keynes sat in the audience, Keynes's face was still pale, and although the wounds on his body had healed, the toxins in his body had not been cleaned up, which made his original plan delay again and again.
Now there was no need for the original plan, Keynes looked up, Aisha was brought out, she lost a lot of weight all at once, her palm-sized face lost a pointed chin, the puffy skirt was too big on her, it looked ill-fitting, her eyes were very flustered, she didn't even dare to look at everyone, she only clutched her dress tightly, and stumbled towards the dock.
This is a weak omega, she has not been marked yet, the crowd is quietly restless, and some of the people who watched this trial on the brain have pity for Aisha, she can't be a murderer, how can she beat the marshal.
The judge rang the gavel, and the courtroom fell silent, followed by the judge's voice.
"Aisha Leonard, what did you do on the night of June 6th?" It was a wedding night, and it was supposed to be happy, but something happened.
"I followed the marshal back to the room." Aisha read the testimony given by Meng Yan, she had no memory of that day, and when she saw the marshal, the marshal was already dead.
"The marshal wants me to take a shower first." Aisha's voice lowered slightly, and those watching on the brain laughed weirdly, because they knew what it meant.
"I changed my clothes, and then, and then ......," Aisha's face flushed, as Meng Yan recounted what had happened that night.
The marshal came and hugged me, and his hand slipped through my pajamas...... "Aisha couldn't say any more.
"Aisha Leonard." The judge asked again.
"Do you have to say it?" Aisha's face was so red that she didn't even dare to raise her head, and experienced people already knew what Aisha was going to say next.
"Silence." The judge tapped the gavel and coughed uncomfortably, "You can skip that part." "This omega hasn't been flagged yet, and it's really embarrassing for her.
"I fainted, and when I woke up." Aisha covered her face and cried, her voice trembling, "Marshal, he ......"
Aisha's testimony was full of loopholes, but the people present didn't think there was anything wrong, the person who killed the marshal was a neat person, most likely an alpha or beta, Aisha was an omega, and it couldn't be a murderer at all.
In the end of this trial, Aisha was acquitted, and the person who came to pick her up was Aisha's butler.
When Aisha returned home, there were already people waiting for her.
"The information you want." There was a person on the virtual screen in front of Keynes, who looked a little familiar.
"This is an accelerant, as long as 3 ml can estrus, after use, the central brain will give you priority to matching marriageable people." Prysdi handed a blue potion to Aisha.
"Marriageable." Meng Yan smiled and took the accelerator, which was very interesting.
"You're the best omega." Keynes's gaze rested on the virtual screen, and he was an extremely high-quality alpha.
**
Seeing off Presdi and Keynes, Aisha returned to her room alone, sitting on the bed with the accelerator in her hand and her eyes in a confused look.
She should have passively accepted this qiΔ, become an omega with peace and security, become the marshal's wife, live in the marshal's house, and be a pampered marshal's wife.
Then he was jealous with Prysdi, and spent a lifetime proving who was the junior and who was the wife. Meng Yan's voice sounded coldly.
Aisha was startled, and the accelerator in her hand fell to the ground and sank into the thick carpet.
'That's what you want?' Meng Yan asked Aisha, who was sitting in the flower field, with parts scattered around her, checking for the abnormal trajectory of creation.
"Of course not." Aisha didn't want to refuse, she was pushed forward by Meng Yan and forced to accept this qiΔ, thinking that Meng Yan and they were all crazy, the marshal was obviously Presdi's spouse, but after the marshal's death, Presdi not only did not expose her as a murderer, but worked with Keynes to help him hide a qiΔ.
He's a scumbag with two boats on his feet. Meng Yan practiced the skills of Tianluo's trickery, "Otherwise, why would Keynes hide in the marriage room." β
"How is that possible?" Aisha was not confident when she said this, she wanted to say that according to the interstellar law, an alpha can only have one omega, marshal him, marshal him.
'It's a scumbag. Meng Yan set up the light crossbow, looked at the light crossbow beside her, and added, "Both men and women eat." β
Aisha stopped talking, she picked up the accelerator and put it on the table, got up to go to the bathroom to take a shower, and when she left, she glanced at the accelerator on the table again, and under the orange light, the potion had a fatal attraction, making Aisha's heart beat inexplicably.
Prysday says it accelerates estrus. Aisha soaked in the warm water, picked up a bow of water, looked at the reflection in a daze, and was in heat.
She had been in heat, the worst nightmare, as if hollowed out by a giant beast deep inside her body, which opened its mouth wide to devour her will, and then dominated Aisha, prostrate on the ground and begged others. When she was in heat for the first time, the housekeeper was by Aisha's side, and although Aisha's pain was quickly relieved, Aisha had already experienced this terrible.
Do you want to go through it again? Aisha asked herself.
If you are afraid, I will bear it for you. Meng Yan said.
"It's fine." Aisha let go, she buried her head in the water, she could.
'Aisha. Meng Yan suddenly asked her with a strange path of creation, 'What is your dream?' β
Dreams, like a mother becoming a painter. Aisha came out of the water, her long wet hair sticking to her face, she brushed her long hair a little bit, and whispered, "I want to be a politician." β
She wants to be a member of the council, to represent omega, and she wants to tell everyone that we omegas are not fertility tools, we have our own lives, we don't want to be dominated, why should the alpha manipulate us, what reason is there to divide our minds.
'Why don't you go and give it a try.' Meng Yan said, "The princess should not marry a prince in the end, you should be a queen." β
Aisha walked to the table, picked up the accelerator and looked at it almost obsessively, the devil in her heart was broken by Meng Yan, she knew that she passively accepted that there was only an unchanged life, and if she tried to fight, she might be able to get a different life.
If Prystian and Keynes were madmen, then she was going to be the madman of lunatic.
The cold needle pierced into her white skin, and Aisha sat down on the ground, the potion flowing with the blood to her heart, and soon, she was *controlled.
**
"General Li, the Central Intelligence Brain has issued a marriage reminder notice, you should get married." The adjutant pushed away the official business in front of Li Peida and forcibly inserted the notice into the virtual screen.
"I don't have time right now." Li Peida has the information of the parliamentarians in his hand, and the marshal died unexpectedly, leaving behind not only a mountain of affairs, but also the military power that has fallen by the side, and everyone wants a piece of the pie.
"You'll be interested in her." The adjutant understood Li Peida's intentions, and he clicked on the information and enlarged the picture, "Aisha Leonard." β
"The marshal's widow." Li Peida narrowed his eyes and asked him to marry a surviving man, which would damage his reputation.
"Although she is married to the marshal, she is not marked." The adjutant explained the reason, "either the death of the marshal caused her a big blow, or maybe it was something else, in short, her estrus period was advanced." β
"After the calculations of the Central Intelligence Brain, I think you are very suitable to be her husband." The adjutant pulled down the information, "What's more, Aisha Leonard owns most of the marshal's property. β
"A very rich widow." Li Peida's heart was moved, and he noticed Aisha's surname, and the owner of that imperial legend was also this surname.
"Aisha Leonard's possession has a mecha called the Dawn Star." The adjutant brings up a picture of the Dawn Star, the mecha that every soldier dreams of.
"It's a shame to fall into the hands of an omega." General Li said in a low voice.
**
"That's it, the marshal will marry you." Keynes stood in front of the Dawn Star, his expression was no longer his usual indifference, almost into madness, the Dawn Star, the legend of the Empire, the legend that was now within his reach.
"Xiaoxing has been sleeping for a long time." Aisha's hand rests on the mech, and the cold shell makes Aisha uncomfortable.
"Little Star." Keynes was slightly surprised, "That's the name of it." β
"The butler said that's what my father called it, and I never saw it wake up." Aisha withdrew her hand and quietly walked away from the mech, she walked over to Presdi's side, and also saw the fascination in Presdi's eyes.
She didn't understand. Aisha couldn't comprehend their fanaticism for the Dawn Star, which to her was a relic, stained with her father's blood, more like a famous artifact taken out of the grave, with the smell of death.
"The marshal once told me that he wanted to get the Dawn Star." Prysday withdrew his gaze, so he understood why the marshal was marrying Aisha.
"I once mentioned to the steward that I would give the Dawn Star to the country." Aisha pinched her fingers, "But the butler said that the Dawn Star won't be activated again." β
"What do you mean?" Keynes came over and asked Aisha.
"It believes that it has an inescapable responsibility for its father's death, so it closes the system and falls into a deep sleep." Aisha said this in a nonchaliant tone, as if she was talking about someone else's business.
"You don't hate it?" Prysdi knew about it, because the Dawn Star refused Aisha's father's orders, thus leading to the death of Aisha's father.
"If hatred could bring my father back to life, I would choose to destroy the Dawn Star, but it can't." Aisha chuckled softly, "So I hope Xiaoxing will wake up." β
Keynes walked up to Prysdi's side and pursed his lips, "Victory is not calculated by probability, this is the reason why wars are fought by men, and the Dawn Star chooses to believe in the number jΓΉ, but not in the driver, there is no doubt that it is a failure." β
"My brother's words always make me feel empowered." Presday laughed.
Keynes didn't answer, he had already seen the Dawn Star, and there was no need to linger any longer.
As Prysday saw Keynes leave, he suddenly said to Aisha, "I envy my brother. β
Aisha didn't know how to answer.
"He dared to resist and did not follow the path arranged by the family, and my brother fulfilled my dream that was difficult to achieve in my life." Prysdi didn't need Aisha's answer.
"Piloting a mech?" No Omega had ever been able to fly a mech, but Keynes did.
"yes." Prysday looked at the Dawn Star, where he had longed to be a soldier since he was a child, flying his mechs through the stars.
"Thank you for having me." Prysdi gave Aisha a gentlemanly salute.
"It was Meng Yan who invited you." Aisha replied with a ladylike salute, and she smiled slyly, "Meng Yan said that after feasting her eyes, it is time to help." β
"Is her name Meng Yan?" Prysdi smiled and saluted again, this salute was given to Meng Yan.
"Clean it up for me." Meng Yan spoke up, she was very different from Aisha, and she spoke sonorously and powerfully.
"Yes."
They left the basement one after another, and a dark light appeared on the mecha's body, and it disappeared in a flash.
**
The decorations that had not been discarded were put back on, and the people were busy back and forth, and Aisha wore a brand new wedding dress, this time a pink gauze, reflecting Aisha's rosy face.
The companion walked to Aisha's side with the freshly picked flowers, with a little hesitation, "Is this really good?" β
"Yes." Aisha nodded, took the flowers, and the ring in her hand was removed, leaving her hand empty.
"I want you to be happy." The companion stretched out his hand to hug Aisha, and remarried in just one month, not knowing how much pressure Aisha was on.
"I will." Aisha smiled and parted ways with her companions, and walked to the lawn in the sun.
The scene was repeated again, with Prysday walking up to Keynes with champagne in hand, and they stood on the balcony, looking at the guests below.
"Familiar?" Keynes took the wine from Prysdi's hand, shook it slowly, and was not in a hurry to taste it, he seemed very patient, and only took a sip, half-closing his eyes to taste it.
"But the mentality is different." Presdi and Keynes stood side by side, and he looked up at the sky, calculating when the moon would rise.
Keynes did not answer, he did not leave to enjoy the beauty and tranquility with Presdi.
In the middle of the night, Presdi knocked on the door of the wedding room, and it was Meng Yan who opened the door, she let Presdi in, and said in a disdainful tone, "Doesn't he know that black eats black?" β
The inside of the house was like a strong wind, and things were scattered, and it looked like it had experienced a fight.
Keynes stood in front of the window, his fingers moving rapidly, he was tampering with the number jΓΉ, and when he heard Meng Yan speak, he didn't raise his head and said, "There is a word that suits you very well." β
"What?" Prystier asked curiously.
"Black Widow."
Keynes turned his head sideways, and a poisoned arrow grazed his cheek, impartially.
It's not gentle.
