Ivan came to Planet One today at the invitation of an official in the federal government to take a break after several days of intense work. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Actually, Ivan wasn't tired at all. Recently, both the relationship between the Empire and the Federation, as well as the investigation into the illegal starship, have progressed very rapidly. Although the work is busy, it is very fulfilling, which makes him full of energy. However, this official has a special status. He can't refute the other party's face. In addition, he has been busy with official business these days, and he has neglected Lucresa a little, so it's good to come out for a walk.

But workaholics are called workaholics for a reason. Now that the two of them are walking on the grass, Evan is still thinking about work.

Although Lao Wang was his uncle, Evan had to admit that he didn't have much grief in his heart for his death. The trembling of more than ten years is not just a joke. He and his father found out how many times he and his father had discovered the spies sent by Lao Wang to lurk around them, but they couldn't squeak, so they could only pretend not to know. I can't count how many times he and his father have been suddenly summoned to enter the palace, most likely with a glass of poisoned wine in front of them.

Now that the gloom had cleared, he finally felt his hands and feet stretched.

The illegal starship nest is in the Empire, but there is a lot of evidence that the Federation is also deeply poisoned. Before the old king was still there, many old kings in the empire forced them to the point of saving the country, running to the federation, and going to the empire to investigate. This was meant to be a last resort, but I didn't expect it to have an unexpected effect. Some people who are not so unclear in their minds have taken this seriously after realizing that the illegal starship could be used by the Zerg. Of course, there are a lot of complicated things in between, such as the Federalists being unhappy with the Empire people coming to their homes to investigate, but overall, it still promotes the communication between the Empire and the Federation, and brings the two human polities closer together.

There is always resistance, though. Evan can see that there must be a lot of unclean things in the federal government on the illegal starship. Although there must have been some bribed in their empire's management system, the level of decay in the Federation was beyond his imagination.

Just yesterday, they managed to catch a black merchant and dig up a lot of things from him. The man was not a hard bone, but on the eve of his confession, he suddenly foamed at the mouth and died a miserable death.

And the official who invited him is working closely with him, preparing to open up the joints and sort out the network of interests within the Federation over the matter of illegal starships. Within the empire, his father personally presided over the investigation, so naturally he didn't have to worry, he threw himself wholeheartedly into joint operations with the Federation.

And that official obviously didn't cooperate with him and the empire for the survival of the future race of mankind. He was as smooth as a snake, and Evan hadn't yet found a way to fully hold him. So his invitation, although Evan didn't want to come, he wouldn't refuse.

"Last time I was in my aunt's back garden, I found a little flower like that. I put it in a vase and left it open for two weeks. Lucresa took Evan's arm, "Evan, are you listening?" ”

Evan smiled and said to Lucresa, "Is it so long?" ”

"I didn't expect that either."

Lucresa smiled sweetly. The sun was clear, and the fair face seemed to glow softly.

Although Ivan felt a little tired of laughing, he sincerely kept the smile on.

After talking to Lucresa last time, she was a lot more well-behaved and self-conscious. This time she came to the Federation, she started from the circle of women, and she also helped him a lot. Don't underestimate women, sometimes men, out of their nature, will always be unable to resist the attack of the gentle arms and soft lips, and say something that should not be said. Then in the adoring gaze of the woman, it fell into the palm of the woman's hand.

Lucresa is an Imperial, and it is unlikely that she will break into a purely federal circle. However, in the past few decades, there have been many intermarriages in the aristocratic circle of the Federal Empire, and she can still talk to these homesick ladies.

This made Evan very satisfied. His wife, first of all, is his assistant at work. If Lucresa can keep it up, then it's a good idea to choose her.

Lucresa hugged Evan's arm tightly and rested her head on his shoulder. In such a posture, the two of them naturally can't walk fast.

But...... It's actually good for just two people to take a walk. Evan thought so.

A man walked in from a distance. Evan and Lucresa didn't notice at first. After all, although the place where they stay is not crowded, it is not a wilderness, and it is nothing to come alone. Unexpectedly, the man walked towards them in a daze, and stood a few meters away from Evan and said, "May I ask you are from the Empire?" ”

Evan nudged Lucresa, telling her to let go of his arm for a moment, then stared at the man. "You are?"

The man was short and stocky, a little bald, and a very ordinary middle-aged man. Although the formal wear on the body is flat, it does not fit well, and the material is very cheap. He looked at Ivan for a moment, his eyes glazed out. In fact, not only his eyes, but his whole person looked listless, as if he hadn't slept for a month, and he was so sleepy that he didn't even want to say but still had to work with his eyes open.

Then he asked, "Are you from the Empire?" ”

Evan gave him a cold look, not ready to answer his brainless question, and hugged Lucresa's shoulders and turned to leave.

"I have intel on illegal starships." The man said.

Evan hesitated slightly, but turned around, "You ......"

A flash of lightning struck in front of my eyes!

Suddenly, the sluggish man rushed towards Ivan like the wind, one hand in front of him, holding a sharp knife!

Ivan reacted first and pushed Lucresa away, and at the same time flashed his figure, avoiding the edge, and then stretched out his hands, and he could unload the opponent's knife with just one click!

The blade pierces the sun!

Bright light bounced off the blade, piercing Lucresa's eyes. Although Ivan was closest to the knife, she was not far from the knife. Lucresa's cold hairs exploded. Never felt death so close to her!

And Evan was right next to her.

"Evan!"

Lucresa screamed, lunging at Evan like crazy, grabbing Evan by the arm.

Time is too short. So, in fact, it is impossible to tell whether Lucresa is going to knock down Evan or something else.

But the results of her actions were immediately apparent. Her whole body hung on Evan's body, causing Ivan's body to tilt to the side suddenly. Although Evan immediately broke free from her grasp, it was still too late.

The sharp knife was buried deep in Ivan's abdomen. (To be continued.) )
