The Last Cat in the Universe

Chapter 43

Ji Xiuyun looked at the secretary. Even he found it hard to believe that the Emperor had disappeared. The Emperor, who was more timid than anyone else, had disappeared??

Ji Xiuyun didn't want to think about how Yue An had used his blank magnetic card to buy cat food. He grabbed the Emperor's secretary and got into the car.

The two army commanders who came with him today looked at Ji Xiuyun and then at the secretary, whose face was pale with fright.

"Marshal …?"

Ji Xiuyun didn't care about them. As soon as the door closed, he turned his head and asked, "How long has it been?

Where is he? "

"Central business district …" The secretary stuttered.

Central business district …

Marshal Ji stared at the secretary for two seconds and repeated, "Time!"

The secretary took a deep breath and said, "Five hours."

"…" Ji Xiuyun couldn't believe it. The Emperor's disappearance was such a big thing. How could this group of people hide it for five hours before coming to find him?

He opened his contact list without hesitation and called Marshal Kevin, who should be in the military science class at the military base.

Before the call went through, he turned his head and looked at the two army commanders beside him. He said without hesitation, "Go and inform the transportation department to cut off the power supply of the two to six transportation tracks. Keep track one for military use and check all the vehicles going in and out."

He paused for a moment. The moment the call went through, he said bluntly, "Marshal Kevin, His Majesty is missing."

The two Legion Commanders who were still in a daze sucked in a breath of cold air and turned to communicate with the transportation department. The other Legion Commander even got out of the car and hurriedly commandeered a car from the Supreme Court. Without hesitation, he sped away.

Marshal Kevin was stunned for two seconds. He asked the same question as Ji Xiuyun, "Location, time."

Ji Xiuyun's answer was different from the secretary's, "Central business district, black market, five hours."

Marshal Kevin's face turned green when he heard this.

He turned his head to look at the secretary, who was standing aside and didn't look like his usual high-spirited self. He scolded, "Trash!

You can't do anything right. "

Marshal Kevin hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking. He then picked up his robe and went to do a roll call.

Ji Xiuyun glanced at the secretary of the black market who didn't refute him. He entered a series of military special instructions on the vehicle's control panel and set the address. The vehicle quickly slid out of the parking space and sped off at the highest speed.

"Whose idea was it?" Ji Xiuyun asked.

The secretary lowered his eyes and shrunk to the side, not daring to make a sound.

Ji Xiuyun raised his voice slightly. "Whose idea was it to let him go to the black market and hide it from the military after he went missing?"

The secretary murmured, his head hanging low.

"It was His Majesty who said that he wanted to take a look."

"So you let him go?" Ji Xiuyun said coldly. "Whose idea was it to hide it from the military?"

Sweat appeared on the secretary's forehead.

"Prince Kells, Prince Gary, Grand Duke Rodney …" Ji Xiuyun looked at the secretary, whose head was hanging lower and lower as he called out the names. His eyes were so cold that it seemed as if they could drop ice shards.

Ji Xiuyun had been Marshal for more than 20 years. It was the late Emperor who gave him the rank of Marshal.

The late Emperor had worked hard all his life. His greatest ambition was to expand the empire's blueprint and he had made thorough preparations for it.

After Ji Xiuyun became Marshal, he gave him absolute trust and let him expand the empire. In the end, it took him more than 10 years to successfully take over the 18th Galaxy.

There was no need to worry about logistics, supplies, public opinion, or the safety of the rear. During the ten years of conquering the eighteenth galaxy, it was the most comfortable and worry-free battle that Ji Xiuyun had ever fought.

Unfortunately, the second month after the 18th Galaxy was confirmed as part of the empire's territory, the old late Emperor died of old age.

After the late Emperor passed away, the originally appointed heir died unexpectedly. The upper echelons of the empire's politics fought back and forth. In order to fight for more power in the new era, the royal family suffered many casualties.

In the end, in order to prevent the foundation from being shaken, they pushed the late Emperor's youngest son, Jonson Sintes, who was only 31 years old, onto the throne.

In the era of the universe, the lifespan of humans grew longer. The growth period and the prime period were also lengthened. At 31 years old, he had just entered his youth.

This young man hadn't even received any lessons that an Emperor should have. Ji Xiuyun could still clearly remember the young Emperor's panicked and confused expression during his coronation ceremony.

The political bigwigs who stood beside the young Emperor knew very well what it meant to befriend those who were far away and attack those who were close to them. They told the young Emperor all day to appease Marshal Ji and to act close to him and trust him.

As for Marshal Kevin, who had been stationed on the Imperial Planet for a long time, in order to prevent the young Emperor from trusting Marshal Kevin too much and breaking free from their control, these people's words became: This person is not trustworthy, this person's achievements are not as outstanding as another Marshal's, this person is old and can't protect you, the position of Marshal won't be long, it's good to keep up appearances.

In addition to Ji Xiuyun's heroic aura, the young Emperor simply agreed to all the methods that those people used to appease and appease Ji Xiuyun.

He put on a posture to get close to Ji Xiuyun. Ji Xiuyun was also smart, and put on a posture of respect.

He only respected the little Emperor. As for the other higher-ups, he didn't give them any face at all.

On one hand, he knew very well that there was no possibility of him staying on the Imperial Planet permanently. In order to prevent him from leading troops and betraying the Imperial Planet, it was natural that the government wanted to rope him in.

On the other hand, it was because the higher-ups of the government kept the people from the Research Department to disgust the young Emperor while trying to persuade him.

Besides, how could he talk about feelings with people who played politics?

He probably wouldn't even know how he died.

However, he was different from Ji Xiuyun, who was always wandering outside.

Marshal Kevin was very concerned about the young Emperor, who was only a figurehead and could only stamp on proposals and open his own private vault to appease the other parties. However, he was naturally biased and those bigwigs brainwashed the young Emperor all year round. Marshal Kevin's repeated reminders couldn't compare to someone else's faint mention of Marshal Ji.

The military's position was sensitive, and it wasn't good for them to interfere too much with the government's affairs. Ji Xiuyun was always outside and beyond their reach. Over time, Marshal Kevin also chose to give up on treatment.

However, this didn't mean that they would allow the government to mess around!

They let the young Emperor go to the black market and disappeared for five hours before telling them?

What were these people trying to do??

Let the young Emperor disappear naturally so that they could usurp the throne??

Ji Xiuyun hadn't seen the young Emperor since he returned to the Imperial Planet this time. The energy crystal was considered a big deal. In the past, the young Emperor, who was so timid that he couldn't sleep at the slightest breeze, would definitely jump up and come looking for him.

At that time, when Ji Xiuyun saw that the young Emperor was only a secretary, he thought that the young Emperor had finally grown up a little. In the end, he was actually able to send him to the black market?

And disappeared?

Ji Xiuyun closed his eyes, still in disbelief.

What kind of brain-destroying operation was this?

They let him go to the black market and lost him. After losing him, they didn't immediately seek help from the military. These people were either stupid or bad.

It was more likely that they were stupid and bad.

Ji Xiuyun knew that there were many shops owned by influential people in the black market, but not all of them were in the hands of influential people.

Would the people in the black market stop doing bad things just because the other party was the Emperor?

Of course not.

The central business district of the Imperial Planet Sintes was suddenly under martial law. All the shops and customers were evacuated.

Not only that, but all the traffic on the Imperial Planet came to a standstill. Every traffic junction was checked by the military.

Marshal Kevin was the first to arrive. He stepped directly into the circle of martial law and soon disappeared from the eyes of the onlookers.

At this time, Yue An was pressing the young man who had suddenly appeared in front of him to the ground with his paw, dodging a thin ray of light that suddenly shot in.

The young man and Yue An were a little confused.

The young man didn't expect that the people who originally wanted to catch him would suddenly use a lethal weapon.

On the other hand, Yue An still didn't understand what was going on. His shopping trip had been smooth sailing. The people outside were obviously targeting this crying young man.

The young man said in a sobbing voice, "Save … save me. I know Ji Xiuyun. I know Ji Xiuyun's number. I'll recite it to you!"

After saying that, the young man immediately recited a string of numbers.

It was indeed Ji Xiuyun's number.

"Meow."

Yue An patted the pale-faced young man. A soft and warm paw gently patted his face. By the time the young man came to his senses, the white cat sitting on his chest had already opened the car door and crawled out.

A few seconds later, he heard someone screaming from outside.

The young man carefully identified the screams. It sounded like the screams belonged to the people who had caught him. However, he didn't dare to move. He held his breath and quietly squatted by the car door, looking uneasily at the interior of the car.

The interior of the car was quite simple and easy to see. The only thing special about the car was the huge shopping box in the car.

This shopping box was provided by the shopping malls in the central business district. It was specially provided for customers who bought large quantities of goods and didn't want to wait for delivery. Instead, they wanted to bring the goods home directly.

It seemed that he was lucky to have bumped into Ji Xiuyun's cat when it came out to buy things.

The young man, who was the current Emperor of the Empire, Johnson Sintes, hugged his knees tightly. He was constantly congratulating himself for his good luck.

His eyes looked around. When he saw the cat-type optical computer on the car's console and the unlocked console, he paused. His fingers moved slightly, but in the end, he didn't touch them.

The cat called Yue An was still outside. He couldn't leave it behind and run away.

As the young man was thinking this, he heard a lot of chaotic footsteps outside again. He nervously clenched his fists.

Yue An easily defeated the group of people who were chasing the young man with weapons. It then looked up and saw Marshal Kevin rushing into the parking lot. It paused for a moment and meowed.

Marshal Kevin also didn't expect to see Yue An here.

He looked at the petite white cat, then looked at the people around the cat who had been knocked unconscious. The weapons in their hands were scattered all over the ground. He waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to continue into the black market. Then, he squatted down to check on the people who had been knocked unconscious by Yue An.

"They're here to catch you?" Marshal Kevin asked.

Yue An took two steps back, turned its head and meowed at Marshal Kevin.

Marshal Kevin thought for a moment, then followed Yue An.

The young man hiding in the car heard the footsteps getting closer and closer to him. He was so scared that he couldn't see his neck anymore.

He heard the sound of someone gently knocking on the car window. He was so scared that his eyes turned red, as if he was going to cry in the next second.

Marshal Kevin opened the car door and reached out to support the young man who had fallen out. He let out a long sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, it's okay now."

The young man abruptly turned his head and looked at Marshal Kevin in his military uniform. His entire body relaxed as he jumped up and clung onto Marshal Kevin's body tightly. He burst into tears with a "wah".

Yue An looked at the young man who was crying and gasping for breath. Then, he looked at Marshal Kevin who was patting the young man's back with a dead look in his eyes.

Huh??

Your Majesty?

????

As soon as he and his First Army Commander got out of the car, they were surrounded by the fearless media.

Ji Xiuyun's cold eyes swept across the crowd. The media shuddered and made way for him. However, in the next moment, they blocked the First Army Commander, who seemed to have a kind expression on his face, behind him.

"Hello!

Can you tell us a little about this incident?

The traffic in the entire Imperial City is stagnant. It has a great impact on the lives of the people! "

"Can you tell us that it's worth two Marshal's attention?

Thank you. "

The First Army Commander looked at one person and then another.

What could he do?

He couldn't tell the public that the little Emperor had gone missing.

If this matter got out, the military and the government would lose face and credibility.

The First Army Commander, who was used to big scenes, was calm. There was no change in his expression. He glanced at the Marshal, who didn't even turn his head and had no intention of helping him. He sighed softly.

"The people have reported that there are large-scale illegal transactions in the central business district."

He was lying through his teeth with a straight face.

"There may be a fight with firearms later. I hope that everyone can cooperate and leave quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone felt a sudden tremor under their feet. It was as if something underground had exploded.

The First Army Commander was speechless.

???

I, I was just saying.
