Chapter 329: Sun Xian defected
The victory in the Yaqiu War gave Li Xingqi a lot of confidence, and he ordered the fleet to actively prepare for battle, ready to fight Zhang Jin at the right time.
However, Zhang Jin did not take the initiative to attack Li Xingqi as Li Xingqi expected, but made another leap and ran to the other side of the galaxy.
Li Xingqi had some doubts in his heart, Zhang Jin still refused to carry out a decisive battle, could it be that he had some new tricks, otherwise why would he continue to delay.
After thinking about it, Li Xingqi decided to take the initiative to attack, since Zhang Jin refused to take the initiative to fight, then it was up to him to unveil the decisive battle.
This operation was extraordinary, and it would be a watershed in the fate of Li Xingqi and Zhang Jin, so Li Xingqi did not dare to act rashly, and gathered with his staff for many days to discuss the battle plan, listed all the details that could be thought of one by one, and then designed a solution for every possible problem.
After another day of combat meetings, Li Xingqi felt a little tired, so he said to his staff: "You continue to discuss, I want to take a little rest, and I will come back later." ”
"Your Excellency, please." The staff members stood up neatly and said.
Li Xingqi immediately went to the combat conference room and came to the officers' cafeteria alone, and when the staff of the restaurant saw Li Xingqi coming, they hurriedly cheered up and stood up straight one by one.
"My lord, what do you want to eat? I will immediately order someone to prepare. The officer in charge of the restaurant came to Li Xingqi and asked.
Li Xingqi casually found a chair and sat down, and said, "Pour me a glass of wine, just prepare some food." ”
The person who managed the restaurant knew that Li Xingqi had no requirements for eating, so he didn't talk nonsense, nodded and turned around to prepare.
Li Xingqi leaned back in the chair, and a sense of exhaustion immediately surged up, although he likes war, it does not mean that war is an easy thing, even people like Li Xingqi will still feel tired.
Soon someone brought wine, Li Xingqi picked up the cup and just took a sip, when a rush of footsteps suddenly came from outside the restaurant.
Li Xingqi turned his head to look, only to see a soldier rushing towards him in a hurry, with an anxious look on his face.
"Report!" The soldier came to Li Xingqi and saluted.
"What's the matter?"
"Report to your lordship, there is an urgent matter that requires you to go to the bridge immediately." The soldier replied.
"What's the matter?" Li Xingqi asked with a slight frown.
"This ...... It is a very confidential thing, Chief He did not allow me to reveal it to others, and asked me to invite the adults over immediately. The soldier replied in embarrassment.
Li Xingqi sighed and said, "Okay, I'll go over now." After speaking, Li Xingqi drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, got up and walked to the bridge with the soldiers.
When I came to the bridge, I saw He Yan and other senior officers there, all with tense faces, looking extremely serious.
Li Xingqi saw that everyone's expressions were so serious, it must be very important, so he asked in a half-joking tone, "What's wrong?" It seems to be serious. ”
He Yan replied, "My lord, our patrol boat has just captured a small transport ship, and there is a person on board who claims to be Zhang Jin's staff and intends to serve us. ”
"What!" Li Xingqi asked in surprise, "Zhang Jin's staff wants to surrender to us?" ”
"That's right." He Yan nodded and said, "I think this matter is a little unusual, so let the soldiers immediately invite the adults to discuss, how should this matter be handled?" ”
Li Xingqi didn't expect such a thing to happen, Zhang Jin's staff would come to surrender, no matter how he thought about it, he felt very strange.
"Bring someone to me to take a look, I hope this person is really Zhang Jin's staff, then it will be very interesting." Li Xingqi said.
He Yan said with some concerns: "I'm afraid that this person has a problem, why don't you check it carefully first?" ”
Li Xingqi nodded and said, "It's okay, be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, you are responsible for arranging it, and you will notify me when the inspection is completed." ”
Sun Xian didn't expect that he had come all the way to join Li Xingqi, and he actually had to go through so many inspections and interrogations, and he felt that his dignity had been insulted.
However, now he has no way to turn back, and since he has chosen to defect, he can only go one way to the end.
"Have you finished checking?" Sun Hyun said angrily to the person who was checking his body.
These people checked Sun Xian's body not for his health, but because they were worried that he had dangerous items hidden in his body, and they would never let Sun Xian see Li Xingqi until they were sure that it was absolutely safe.
"Be patient, you should have thought there would be these tests." The other party said to Sun Xian nonchalantly.
Sun Xian was very unhappy in his heart, but there was nothing he could do, who made him make such a choice, the mutineer was the object of suspicion wherever he went.
Sun Xian's reason for choosing to defect was actually very simple, he thought that he had no future under Zhang Jin's men.
Although Zhang Jin didn't blame him, he just sent him back, but Sun Xian knew Zhang Jin's temper very well, this time he offended too many people, and when the war was over, Zhang Jin would most likely sacrifice him in order to appease the anger of others.
In order not to become a victim, Sun Xian decided to seize the initiative in his hands, and instead of waiting for Zhang Jin to abandon him, it was better to defect to Li Xingqi, so that he could also get an official and a half position.
On the way back to the Bison Galaxy, Sun Xian was planning this, but fortunately he was only a staff member and had little power in his hands, so no one else would guard against him.
As soon as he returned to the Bison Galaxy, Sun Xian took advantage of the lack of attention from others and quietly found a smuggling ship and asked the owner to send him to Li Xingqi's fleet. For this reason, Sun Xian took all his property, otherwise the owner of the smuggling ship would not accept such a commission.
After a series of rigorous inspections and interrogations, Li Xingqi's subordinates finally determined that Sun Xian was not dangerous and could let Li Xingqi and Sun Xian meet.
A group of soldiers escorted Sun Xian to Li Xingqi's flagship, and then a team of soldiers escorted him to a reception room.
Sun Xian sat on the chair and waited anxiously to be received by Li Xingqi, but after waiting for almost a while, there was no trace of Li Xingqi.
Just when Sun Xian was about to lose his patience, there was a knock on the door of the reception room, and several soldiers stepped in, guns in their hands, pointing at Sun Xian with extreme vigilance.
Sun Xian was startled, and involuntarily took a few steps back, and was just about to speak, when a slender and tall officer walked in.
When Sun Xian saw this person, he was handsome and handsome, and compared with other soldiers, he had an outstanding momentum.
"Looks like a big guy!" Sun Xian said secretly in his heart.
At this time, another officer walked in, stepped in front of Sun Xian, and asked coldly, "You are Sun Xian?" ”
"Yes, I am." Sun Xian replied nervously.
"Very good, I'm Han Li, the military intelligence chief of the Sea Wolf Fleet, and this is Lord Li Xingqi!" The officer said.
Sun Xian was taken aback, he didn't expect that the officer who came first turned out to be Li Xingqi, no wonder it looked and felt different.
Li ...... Master Li ...... "Sun Xian was nervous and almost speechless.
Li Xingqi smiled and said, "Sit down, we have something to talk about slowly." ”
Sun Xian sat down on the chair tremblingly, trembling uncontrollably, and Li Xingqi and Han Li couldn't help but laugh dumbly when they saw this.
Li Xingqi said: "Don't be so nervous, I'm very happy that you are willing to give up the darkness and turn to the light, and now I have a few questions I want to ask you." After saying that, Li Xingqi glanced at Han Li.
Han Li comprehended, took over the conversation and said, "First of all, we want to know, why did you betray Zhang Jin? ”
This sound a bit harsh, but Sun Xian knew that this question would definitely not be avoidable, so he replied: "Because...... Because Zhang Jin ...... Don't trust me anymore. ”
"Why is that? Why doesn't Zhang Jin trust you anymore? Han Li asked.
Sun Xian didn't intend to hide it, the most important thing for him now was to win Li Xingqi's trust, otherwise his situation would be very dangerous.
"Here's the thing, not long ago, Zhang Jin ordered me to conduct an investigation in the fleet, in order to find out who leaked important military information in the fleet." Sun Xian replied.
"Oh, what important information have you leaked?"
"It's the plan to sneak attack Yaqiu, I don't know who leaked it, so ...... Yaqiu had prepared in advance, and Zhang Jin was very angry about this matter, so he asked me to be in charge of the investigation. Sun Xian said.
"Leak?" Li Xingqi and Han Li looked at each other, both very confused.
Li Xingqi asked, "How do you know that the military information was leaked?" ”
Sun Xian was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically, "If it hadn't been leaked, how did you know that Zhang Jin was going to attack Yaqiu?" ”
Hearing this, Li Xingqi suddenly laughed and said, "So you think so, haha......"
Sun Xian didn't understand what Li Xingqi was laughing at, so he looked at Li Xingqi with a confused expression, and then looked at Han Li.
Han Li also had a smile on his face, but he didn't intend to explain it to Sun Xian now, so he asked instead, "We'll talk about these things later, let's continue." You said that Zhang Jin put you in charge of the investigation, doesn't this mean that he trusts you? Why did you even defect? ”
"At that time, he did trust me, but after the investigation results came out, it involved the secrets of many people in the fleet, and these people ran to Zhang Jin to make noise, Zhang Jin couldn't withstand the pressure, so he kicked me out of the fleet. That's why I thought of leaving Zhang Jin, and then I came here. Sun Xian replied with a flushed face.
Han Li nodded and said, "I see, you said that the results of the investigation caused a lot of dissatisfaction, can you tell us more about what the results of the investigation were?" ”
Sun Xian replied, "Of course. Actually, in order to protect myself, I secretly backed up the survey results, and I brought them with me this time, so I can give them to you if you want to see them. ”
"Great! Give it to me, I'm sure it will be useful. Han Li said with a smile on his face.
