Chapter 287
What we want to welcome back is not "Wu Heng" who is the prince of the empire, nor is he "Wu Heng", the commander-in-chief of the empire who has an innocent reputation and is framed and in trouble, but someone who can help the empire unravel its genetic collapse. This shackles of "Wuheng" - this is the most important thing.
Just when the momentum on the Star Network was at its strongest, the emperor who had never spoken out finally stood up.
He didn't say much, just issued a brief announcement, indicating that he had asked someone to do a genetic comparison, and at the same time, he was conducting a thorough investigation into the long-confirmed case of treason by the commander-in-chief of the empire. Once the results come out, they will be notified to everyone in the empire as soon as possible, giving everyone a clear explanation.
This statement seemed to indicate his preference.
Everyone on the star network suddenly fell into a carnival, praising the emperor's wisdom, as if they had seen that in the near future, the light of the former empire would return to the empire.

In the prison of the trial hall, the third prince Xiwen, who had been imprisoned for half a month, was fiddling with a mecha model in front of him, looking a little impatient.
Since the inexplicable disappearance of Imperial Lieutenant General Ou Shang, all doubts have pointed to the third prince Xiwen. Under the strong pressure of public opinion, he had to abide by the laws of the empire and was temporarily detained pending trial as the biggest suspect.
However, even prisons are divided into three, six, and nine grades. The one where the third prince Xiwen lives is obviously the one with the most comfortable environment. The food, clothing, and accommodation are still exquisite. The only thing that gives him a headache is that the prison cannot connect to the stars. The Internet has cut off his channels of communication with the outside world, and his patience is wearing thin every day.
He was very sure that he did not attack Auchan, but he just didn't know who was plotting against him behind the scenes. But as the third prince of the empire, Xiwen was full of confidence. Not to mention that he had been wronged. Even if he had really done it, I believe that at most he would have been detained here for interrogation for a period of time. In the end, he will still be acquitted.
But this didn't make Xiwen's mood any better.
Anyone who is disconnected from the Internet for more than half a month, loses all information exchanges, and feels as if they are on an isolated island, will be in a bad mood. He had no idea why the people behind the scenes were plotting against him. Was it just to disgust him?
Then the other party's purpose has obviously been achieved.
Now Xiwen was obviously on the verge of an emotional explosion, and he secretly swore in his heart that when he got out, he would find that person and give him a good look!
At this moment, the silver metal door of the cell opened as if it was melting, and the judge responsible for investigating the case informed the person to let Xiwen out.
Xiwen's heart suddenly burst into ecstasy.
...It seems that time has delayed enough and there is not enough evidence, so he will naturally be acquitted.
He couldn't wait to walk out of the cell and came to a spacious rotunda. The first thing he saw was a familiar judge.
A gentle smile appeared on Xiwen's face: "Mr. Dias, please excuse me. It turns out that you are the one who handled the acquittal procedures for me this time." As he said this, he shook his head helplessly. "I really don't know who is so crazy. Not only did he dare to attack a lieutenant general in the empire, but he also tried to frame the crime on me. This is too ridiculous. How could I do such a boring thing?"
It was a customary greeting, but the third prince Xiwen unexpectedly discovered that the normally smooth-tempered judge had changed from his usual attitude. He did not answer his words with a smile on his face, and the eyes he looked at him were filled with emotion. An indescribable complex meaning. If you analyze it carefully, it seems to be regret, regret, indifference...and pity?
"???" Third Prince Xiwen had questions all over his head.
Especially the unmistakable pity made him feel extremely humiliated. When does he, the majestic prince of the empire, need mercy from others?
At this moment, Xiwen wondered if he was under too much pressure during this period and had hallucinations.
A bad intuition vaguely reminded him that something unexpected seemed to be happening outside.
Therefore, Xiwen changed his original words about complaining about his life in prison and instead asked a tentative question: "Lord Diaz, you also know that I am staying in the trial during this time. The hall is idle, I wonder if anything new is happening outside? "
The pity in the eyes of the round-faced, bald judge became even stronger. He pondered for a moment, and then he spoke carefully: "A big thing indeed happened."
"...Just yesterday, someone opened a full live broadcast on the Star Network and killed the former Lieutenant General of the Empire, Auchan, in front of all citizens of the Empire."
At this point, his tone became a little weird: "Because of this, the third prince is no longer suspected of murdering the Imperial Lieutenant General, so you are released without charge."
Hearing this, the third prince Xiwen showed joy on his face, but then restrained it. He said curiously: "How dare someone dare to provoke the empire like this? I don't know who that person is. During this time, I have suffered a lot from him, so I am very curious."
The smile on the face of the judge named Dias became even weirder. He glanced at the third prince Xiwen who couldn't hide his anger:
"You also know this person, His Highness the Third Prince, as our former empire commander Wu Heng."
In an instant, the expression on Xiwen's face froze.
He almost shouted out of control, finding it difficult to maintain his demeanor: "This is impossible! How could it be him?!"
Before he could calm down, the judge's voice poured down on him like a basin of cold water, chilling him to the core.
"Not only that, but now you have been issued a first-level investigation order by the Judgment Hall because you are suspected of plotting to kill the Imperial Army and slandering the Imperial Commander-in-Chief."
"——In other words, you, who have just been released from prison, are going into prison again. This time it is the ninth prison with the strictest supervision."
Xiwen's face completely lost the smile and was stunned.
After the judge finished the procedure, he ignored his reaction and just raised his hand: "Third Prince, please."
Chapter 238 Rebellious Party 22
It was still the familiar silver passage. Under the violent shaking like an earthquake, the back of the passage collapsed inch by inch.
The boy who was chased by the collapsed ruins ran wildly along the long passage. Carrying his twin brother on his back, he tore open the metal door at the end of the passage like a humanoid beast and got out.
The two teenagers got out of the ground at the same time, standing on the endless land for the first time, looking at everything they saw in front of them with novel and shocking eyes.
In the sky, the war was raging. The roaring sound of artillery fire shook the world. Terrifying energy beams shot in all directions, razing countless buildings to the ground. Airships fell from the sky like dumplings. Not far away from the two of them, there were several mechas that were at least four meters tall and were fighting fiercely while moving at high speed.
This is an extremely chaotic battlefield. The blood-stained emblem of the Star Thieves is flying in the air. The mechas that mark the legions directly under the imperial royal family are broken into pieces. The ferocious muzzles roar... Maybe the aftermath will come from nowhere. It will affect them and completely ruin their lives.
But at this moment, the first thing the two teenagers thought of was not to hide, but to raise their heads in unison, and the vast and deep starry sky came into their eyes.
That was the first time in their lives that they saw the stars. The deep blue and the vast mystery were deeply engraved in the hearts of the two of them.
Before I woke up from my sleep, the beautiful starry sky scene was still imprinted in my mind.
He seemed to have once again obtained memory fragments about this body - for the original Wu Heng, the boundless starry sky he saw when he escaped from birth seemed to be the most profound scene in his memory.
Originally not intending to land on the local star network in the Desolate Star Territory, the faint light of the light brain suddenly radiated from the surroundings, and countless light points were reflected in the room, suddenly turning the entire room into a piece suspended in the universe. The isolated island, this is his personal space image in Star Network.
Then, while the memory in his mind was still clear, without a thought, bits and pieces of brilliance gathered together and condensed into a paintbrush in his palm. Another snow-white canvas fell from mid-air to the ground, stretching out in front of him.
It was not sketched by lifting a pen. ♦This work is provided by situ.com and can be read online.
A deep and boundless starry sky spreads out on the drawing paper, and every nebula is dazzlingly beautiful.
Strictly speaking, many actions in the virtual star network are actually controlled by one's own thoughts. In other words, he seemed to be painting with a pen, but in essence he was actually recreating the original starry sky he saw in his dream through his thoughts.
From the fragments in the memory, we can know that this is the scene that Wu Jiu and Wu Heng saw when they escaped. The "battlefield" in the memory is definitely not simple.
"999, how are your learning and improvement results during this period? It's time to test it."
The summoned System 999 just squeaked and was dragged out to do hard work by the unscrupulous host.
Yuan Buwei looked at it kindly: "...I think you won't let me down, right?"
System 999: [……]
...What else can I say? I can only transform into a tool leader with tears in my eyes, and work conscientiously to complete the host's mission.
After assigning "homework" to System 999, Yuan Buwei took another look at the empire's reaction.
Since the last live broadcast incident, the empire has become very lively now. Everyone is calling for justice for their "Light of the Empire", severely punishing the third prince and others, and making Yuan Buwei return to the empire again.
Among them, the most interesting thing is the genetic comparison mentioned in the emperor's response, and everyone is waiting for the results.
Yuan Buwei browsed these messages carelessly, and also dealt with Xinghai's affairs by the way, and suddenly said: "By the way, the third prince can find out that the gene of this body is the same as that of the eldest prince. Is it possible that the emperor doesn't know about it?"
System 999 was stunned for a moment, and realized that the host was chatting with itself, which was also rare. It thought for a while and said: "It shouldn't be unclear, right? Otherwise, how could he exile Wu Heng so easily?"
Yuan Buwei shook his head slightly, with a playful smile on his lips.
When the eldest prince died, the third prince was only three years old. It can be said that he had almost no impression of his eldest brother. But when he grew up, he was still able to guess Wu Heng's "identity". The emperor personally raised his eldest son to the age of six. Everyone knew how much he loved this amazingly talented son - an estranged younger brother could recognize his eldest brother's identity, but the father, who loved his own son extremely much, had no idea. Feel it?
Unless, he knew very well that his son was dead, and he could not mistake others even if they looked similar;
Or, he really knew the true background of "Wu Heng", so he chose this young man of commoner origin as the commander of the empire and placed high hopes on him.
Before the third prince took action against "Wu Heng", the emperor must have had a plan for Wu Heng's future. Unfortunately, the third prince's intervention made everything come to naught. After Wu Heng's gene collapsed, the emperor had to give up this commander of the empire who was promoted by himself.
"The biggest doubt in this matter may not even be thought of by the third prince. A commoner with a mysterious origin, a commoner whose first fourteen years of life were blank... Even if he had outstanding military achievements, could he be promoted to the position of commander of the empire by the emperor? Wouldn't someone suspect that he was a spy?"
Yuan Buwei's words made System 999 stunned, and it felt like a new idea was opened up all of a sudden.
"In any system, if you want to climb up, nothing else matters, a clean background is the most important. Wu Heng was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the empire, which means that in the eyes of the emperor, his background is absolutely clean."
[...Host, do you mean that the emperor already knew Wu Heng's background clearly? 】System 99
