Chapter 956: Pull down the old face

The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking!

In ancient China, Fan Li in the Spring and Autumn Period realized this, so after becoming famous, he immediately drifted away, and left a letter to Wen Zhong, which said these four sentences. Wen Zhong disagreed, thinking that he had meritorious service to the country, and thought that Goujian, the king of Yue, would not treat him badly, but in the end he only ended up committing suicide. The light is too dazzling, and the merit is high, which is not a good thing for the courtiers.

What happened to Marshal Lucas vividly reflects the meaning of the above four sentences.

Anne's mood at the moment can really be described as asking the sky speechlessly.

Three generations of loyal and good families, dedicated to the country, but ended up like this. Anne wanted to ask God: Is there still a reason in this world?

In a similar mood to Anne, Marshal Lucas was also sad and indignant. "Grandpa has been completely disappointed in this guy. If he hadn't interfered, the military court would have given a just sentence, but he would have interfered. He is hell-bent on killing you, and he will definitely put pressure on Prince Norton these days, he is the Emperor of the Empire, and what he says will affect the verdict, and even if you are not sentenced to death, you will be severely punished. The situation is extremely unfavorable for you right now. By the way, where is the gentleman named Wu Lai you are talking about?"

Anne said quietly: "He has already left, and he has not left any contact information, and even if he does, I have no way to contact him." ”

"Cousin, Anne mentioned you. Wang Fei reminded on the side.

Wu Lai glanced at him and said, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person." Your cousin and I are not deaf, so naturally I heard her. ”

Marshal Lucas sighed: "Alas, we can't fight against Bodo XIII, he is the Emperor of the Empire, and we are only subjects of the Empire. In the past few days, grandpa can only pull down his old face and beg some old comrades-in-arms to help, as long as he is not sentenced to death, he can say anything. ”

Originally, Anne was already dead, but listening to Marshal Lucas, she didn't want to die, she couldn't die, she couldn't let the treacherous plan of Bodo XIII succeed.

At this time, Prince Norton entered. Time passed quickly, half a day passed, and it was already dark.

Marshal Lucas knew it was time for him to leave.

He confessed to Anne: "Good granddaughter, don't be afraid, grandpa will definitely find a way." ”

"Grandpa, Anne is not afraid of death, what are you afraid of?" Anne's words were full of determination.

"Good boy, you won't die, grandpa won't let you die. Marshal Lucas said in his heart: Even if grandpa dies, I must protect you. If you really can't do it, you will exchange your life for your life, and exchange your grandfather's life for your safety.

Walking out of Anne's room, Prince Norton whispered, "Don't worry, brother, I will do my best to help Anne's niece and granddaughter." ”

Marshal Lucas arched his hand to Prince Norton and said gratefully, "I can only trouble the virtuous brother." ”

Anne is a good child, when she grows up, she will definitely become the same military god as the old brother, even if the younger brother is not for you, the younger brother, you must do what you have to do for the empire and the future military god of the empire. Prince Norton said.

Marshal Lucas is worthy of being the military god of the empire, the military soul of the empire, and his influence in the army is still very large. The top brass of the military was either his comrade-in-arms or his students, and although he was old and long retired, he still had a high level of prestige.

Marshal Lucas pulled down his old face and found his comrades and students, and told them about their own granddaughter, Anne. Anne's fame had long since spread throughout the army, but few people knew that she was the granddaughter of Marshal Lucas. They were shocked that Anne was able to become the commander of the Imperial Royal Tenth Fleet at such a young age. It seems that she has received the true biography of Marshal Lucas. It's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go.

The news that Anne's 10th Fleet had been ambushed by the 1st Fleet, the ace fleet of the Derean Empire, was not widely circulated, and only a few people knew about it, and when they heard about it, they heard that Podo XIII was going to sentence Anne to death for it, which made many of the generals indignant. Who can guarantee that he is a victorious general? It is normal to be ambushed by the First Fleet of the Delan Empire and annihilated. Even if you confront the First Fleet head-on, you will have to lose the battle. You must know that it is the ace unit of the Deland Empire, and their commander, Lieutenant General Grant, is known as the rising star of the Deland Empire, and he has won every battle.

The empire had a large population, and there were naturally quite a few generals. Many generals united and collectively petitioned Bowdo XIII for a lenient sentence for Anne.

The intelligence system of Hado XIII was naturally powerful. He had received information that Marshal Lucas had come to the imperial capital and met with Anne. However, Bodo XIII did not expect that Marshal Lucas would retire for so many years and still have such great appeal. This made Bodo XIII even more jealous of Marshal Lucas.

Can a person who can cause an "earthquake" in the empire with a single sentence not be feared by the emperor? If Marshal Lucas really mutinied, would Bodo XIII still be able to sit firmly on the throne of this emperor?

Bowdo XIII was always afraid of this, and tried his best to weaken Marshal Lucas, even going so far as to kill Marshal Lucas's only son, Anne's father. Now Anne's military talent is revealed, no less than Marshal Lucas, and Bodo XIII is worried that she will become the second Lucas, so he has the heart to kill her. As for why she didn't choose to assassinate, it was because Anne had always stayed on the interstellar mothership, which was difficult to start, and there were also interstellar pirates who had sent people to assassinate Anne before, but it was not successful, and after the assassination, Anne's guards guarded Anne more closely, so that the assassins could not find a chance. For Marshal Lucas, Bodo XIII wanted him to die, but Lucas was already old and had a few years to live, and if his children and grandchildren were gone, his heart would definitely die, and he would not have the heart to mutiny. To the pity of Bordo XIII, Anne was not killed in the ambush, and it was impossible for the military tribunal to sentence Anne to death, and if he had forcibly intervened, he would have been prevented.

Petitions flew like snowflakes to the palace, and in a single day Podo XIII received hundreds of them, all demanding a lighter punishment for Anne.

Seeing these petitions, Podo XIII was furious. "This old thing, it's been 20 years since he left the army, and he's still so influential! Hmph, no matter how hard you try, it won't help. The emperor wants to kill someone, and you can't stop it if you want to. You must know that this emperor is the emperor of the empire, the first person in the empire, and he has power in his hands, he can kill whoever he wants, and no one can stop him. Whoever dares to stop it, this emperor will kill whom!"

"Anne, if the emperor wants you to die, you have to die!" The emperor covers the sky with one hand, and he does what he says!"

Seeing that Bodo XIII crushed the wine glass, Song Jianwa shouted: "Damn, this guy is really wasteful, it's Potts wine! It's very expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it at all." "He has been soaking in the wine glass for the past few days, and naturally knows the value of the wine that Pota XIII drinks. The light blue wine, which is the most famous Potts wine in the Bowdo Empire, cannot be drunk at all without a certain status.

Hata XIII ignored the petitions of the crowd, and simply threw them into the paper basket without reading them.

Even the two princes came to intercede on Anne's behalf. It turned out that at the Royal Military Academy, both princes were admirers and suitors of Anne. You know, in addition to being the best student at the Royal Imperial Academy, Anne is also a big beauty.

The two princes interceded for Anne, but were scolded back by Podo XIII.
